1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: The new league year is fast approaching, which means some

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: big name veterans could be on the chopping block. We'll

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: examine some of the possibilities tonight. As the countdown to

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: March eleventh continues. Saquon Barkley is not going anywhere except

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: on vacation and to your TV screen. Tonight, san Quon

6
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 1: joins the show to discuss big changes in Philly and

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: how the Eagles offense can get flying again.

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: We'll also talk.

9
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: To Brown's linebacker Carson Schwesshinger, who has the NFL Defensive

10
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year award on the shelf, and a

11
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: whole new coaching staff in the building as Cleveland reboots again.

12
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: Welcome Inside with the Insiders alongside Judy Mattista, I am

13
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: Tom Pelsero, our last show before we depart for Indianapolis

14
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: and the NFL Combine next week. Tons of general managers

15
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: and coaches set to join the show. Andy Raid will

16
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: not be one of them. The Chiefs coach said today

17
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: he will not be made making the trip to Indianapolis

18
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: following a procedure on his knee, an unusual absence for

19
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, who have a lot of unusual things happening,

20
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: including missing the playoffs for the first time since they

21
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: got Patrick Mahomes, who was in the early stages a

22
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: rehab following his own knee surgery.

23
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 3: No, order, what you can tell us about Patrick's progress

24
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 3: and how you see him kind of reintegrating in the

25
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 3: weeks and months to come.

26
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, Lee, he's around here all the time, spends a

27
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 4: ton of time here seven hours a day and he's

28
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 4: in there cranking away. Began progress every day, and it's

29
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 4: great to see he and Julie the real trainer, she

30
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 4: the she grinds on him and make sure that he

31
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 4: stays on task and challenges him and everything else, and

32
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 4: he keeps showing up. So that's uh, that's about half

33
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 4: the battle on these things where you have these injuries

34
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 4: that you show up and it's not gonna be a

35
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 4: pleasant thing every day.

36
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 2: You got to fight through it.

37
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 5: And then as you formulate your off season blueprint, have

38
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 5: you received any indication from Travis at all about his

39
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 5: plans for next year?

40
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 4: No, there is communication though, That's the main thing, Sam,

41
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 4: And so I always go, I've said this before too,

42
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 4: you just as long as there's communication, I'm good. That

43
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 4: means people want to move forward, and I think that's

44
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 4: where Travis I'm not trying to put words in his

45
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 4: mouth at all, and I try to give him some

46
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 4: space here. He's been doing this a long time and

47
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 4: he can sort all that out as he goes forward.

48
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 4: But we're proceeding with that and there is communication on.

49
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: Judy.

50
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: Normally, at this time of year, the Chiefs are less

51
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: than two weeks removed from playing in the super Bowl.

52
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: This time, they've had six weeks to think about all

53
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: the different things that went wrong in twenty twenty five,

54
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: how they can get things on.

55
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 2: Track in twenty twenty six.

56
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: We'll talk about Travis Kelsey, But to me, the biggest

57
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: question here is what Andy Reid was addressing about Patrick Mahomes.

58
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: This is not a straight ACL injury, which in itself

59
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: would be a long process put them right up against

60
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: the start of the next season. A tour an ACL

61
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: and having your LCL repaired can a LinkedIn the timeline

62
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: create a really big questions Kansas City tries to reboot

63
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: this thing to get back on track.

64
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, this is the number one issue that

65
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 6: hangs over the entire offseason is what is his timeline?

66
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 6: It would be a very very aggressive timeline for him

67
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 6: to be ready for Week one. I know that's what

68
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 6: he's aiming for. Even if he could somehow be on

69
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 6: the field for Week one, like what kind of condition

70
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 6: would he be in, because he certainly would not be

71
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 6: at full strength at that point. But when you look

72
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 6: at their offseason, I mean, this is a team with needs,

73
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 6: which is not something we're used to talking about. For

74
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 6: the Kansas City Chiefs, they have a top ten draft pick,

75
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 6: which they haven't had since Patrick Mahomes got in the building,

76
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 6: So they do have means of getting impact players, getting

77
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 6: more explosive players on that team. Their number one need

78
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 6: in free agency is a starting level run back. Fortunately

79
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 6: for them, there is expected to be a good group

80
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 6: of running backs available in free agency. But again, the

81
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 6: overarching question going into twenty twenty six, and until it's answered,

82
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 6: we won't know what twenty twenty six is going to

83
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 6: look like for the Chiefs is Patrick mahomes health and

84
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 6: his timeline for recovery.

85
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: You mentioned running back Chiefs have been going year to year. Kareemhunt,

86
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: Isaiah Pacheco both free agents headed into this offseason. Then

87
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: you've got the question of Travis Kelsey has been your

88
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: go to weapon, a guy who probably doesn't have that

89
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: top end speed like he did in his peak, but

90
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: still has show and he could be a very very

91
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: productive player. The fact they're talking, they've had contract talks,

92
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: would indicate Kelsey's coming back. He indicated as much when

93
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 1: he said he was excited to have Eric b Enemy

94
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: back in the building as offensive coordinator. But if Patrick

95
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: Mahomes is not out there, that is a different dynamic

96
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: that the Chiefs have not been dealing with very often

97
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: over the past seven years. And we head toward the

98
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: start of the new league year, there are significant questions

99
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: for a lot of different teams, like the Chiefs need

100
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: to get under the cab, or for other TIS teams

101
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: who just might have some maneuvering to do. Matt o'catta

102
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: at NFL dot com wrote up this list, which includes

103
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: some pretty big names here Judy who potentially one way

104
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: or another could become available.

105
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I am focused, as I think a

106
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 6: lot of people are on Tua's availability. We know that

107
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 6: he is not going to be back with the Dolphins.

108
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 6: The question is what is the mechanism by which he

109
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 6: is not returning. They would prefer to trade him could

110
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 6: they possibly find a trade partner. What would that even

111
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 6: look like if he is released? Will they release him

112
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 6: and take the entire salary cap hit in one fell

113
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 6: swoop or not? And then what will the market be

114
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 6: for Twua? Will there be a market for Tua? He

115
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 6: did not play well last season, He had a lot

116
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 6: of injuries. He's had concussion issues before, so what would

117
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 6: the market look like for him? And then the other

118
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 6: one that I'm keeping an eye on are Curtis Samuel

119
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 6: and Dalton Knox In Buffalo. We know Buffalo has to

120
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 6: improve the weapons around Josh Allen. We spent all of

121
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 6: last season calling Josh Allen then that was because he

122
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 6: so often had to do everything himself, and that is

123
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 6: because the weapons they put around him just haven't panned

124
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 6: out the way they had hoped for. Do they release

125
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 6: one of these guys? Do they release both? That would

126
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 6: be a big signal about how much they are going

127
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,559
Speaker 6: to rebuild the core around Josh Allen.

128
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: Both two A Tongue Billowa and Ginos Smith have triggers

129
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: in their contracts where additional guaranteed money would become guaranteed

130
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: if they're still on the roster several days into the

131
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: new E League years, so a trigger of sorts for

132
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: those teams to make a decision. The same applies to

133
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins of the Falcons, who will be released either

134
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: March eleventh or March twelfth, based upon a restructure is

135
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: contract that happened at the tail end of last season.

136
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: The question then becomes, Judy, exactly where does Kirk end

137
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: up in twenty twenty six.

138
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 6: Well, that is the question is what is the future

139
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 6: for Kirk Cousins, What is the market for him and

140
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 6: in what capacity is somebody going to want to sign

141
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 6: him with the potential to be the starting quarterback. I

142
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 6: think we all sort of are actually the idea of

143
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 6: maybe he returns to the Vikings to compete with JJ McCarthy.

144
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 6: But we know that there are teams that are going

145
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 6: to need quarterbacks, and we know there are never enough quarterbacks.

146
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 6: He played pretty well in relief of Michael Pennix last season.

147
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 6: He is now further removed from his achilles injury, so

148
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 6: you would think that he is going to be even

149
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 6: better now. He is obviously in his late thirties, so

150
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 6: this is not a long term answer. But there are

151
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 6: teams like the Jets, like the Cardinals that need quarterbacks.

152
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 6: Could they be interested in Kirk Cousins? And then I

153
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 6: am watching Kenny Clark with the Dallas Cowboys. He of

154
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 6: course was part of the Micah Parsons trade. Jerry Jones

155
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 6: made a point of saying they needed to stop the

156
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 6: run better. Kenny Clark was supposed to bring that. I

157
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 6: mean he did, but certainly not to the degree they

158
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 6: had hoped for. Next gen stats had him with just

159
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 6: twenty one run stops this season. He's got a pretty

160
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 6: big cap number, over twenty million dollars. If they release him,

161
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 6: they could save against the cap. This is a team

162
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 6: that is in dire cap situation right now. This would

163
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 6: be a move that would save them a ton of money.

164
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 6: Of course, it would also be admitting that at least

165
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 6: this part of the trade did not work out for

166
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 6: the Dallas Cowboys, and we will see if they will

167
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 6: want to do that.

168
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: Our Boys already released linebacker Logan Wilson today, who is

169
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: part of a different trade. During the season, they tried

170
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: to get that defense on track. New coordinator with Christian

171
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: Parker coming in, could do some different things. From a

172
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: schematic perspective, certainly adds to those moving parts that Dallas has.

173
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: We still have coaching search news rolling in that we

174
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: are getting down to the last final spots here as

175
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: we move forward. Nate Shieldhouse has expected to name the

176
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator of the LA Rams. Michael Floor left for

177
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: the Cardinals head coaching job. Shieldhouse has also had head

178
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: coaching interviews in this cycle, likely to be a hot

179
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: name again next year after a full season as the

180
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: OC in LA. Chargers also finalizing their coaching staff, including

181
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: naming Adam Gase their past game coordinator. That's right, Adam

182
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: Gase been out of the NFL since the Jets fired

183
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: him after the twenty two twenty season, now teaming up

184
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: with his fellow former Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel in LA.

185
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Dolphins, let's bring in our Cameron Wolf,

186
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: who is down there in South Florida. As always with

187
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: news and notes around the NFL, the Wolf of ball

188
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: straight is here.

189
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: What do you got, cam Tom?

190
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 7: Let's start in Tennessee where cam Ward is recovering well

191
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 7: from his right shoulder ac sprain. I'm told he's worked

192
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 7: with his quarterback coach, Darryl Colbert Junior this past week

193
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 7: working on lower body work.

194
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 2: They haven't thrown the ball yet.

195
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 7: The plan is for March in about two or three

196
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 7: weeks for him to resume throwing the ball.

197
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 2: Colbert said, they're working on his base.

198
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 7: He told me to try to get back from some

199
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 7: of the bad habits he picked up last year, with

200
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 7: some of the struggles they had offensively, some of the

201
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 7: pressure he had on They want to get his feet

202
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 7: back right, get that base right for what he can throw.

203
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 7: The next thing is Brian dave Ball, the offensive widinator.

204
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 7: I'm told cam Ward is very excited to work with him.

205
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 7: He believes he's going to allow him to be the

206
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 7: playmaker he was in college. He saw what he did

207
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 7: with Josh Allen. And one thing I was told about

208
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 7: dave Ball and Ward, they had a really good relationship

209
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 7: in the pre JAFT process last year, and so dave

210
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 7: Ball was Ward's number one choice once they were trying

211
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,359
Speaker 7: to figure out offensive coordinators.

212
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: Da've all also tried very hard when he.

213
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 7: Was a Giants head coach to trade up and get Ward,

214
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 7: and so those two get to work together and show

215
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 7: off those playmaking ability. One thing Colbert told me was

216
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 7: they want to work with Ward on taking the easy throw,

217
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 7: taking the five yard throw sometimes that he got away

218
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 7: from last year.

219
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 2: They think that will help him in year two.

220
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 7: Next, let's go to one free agent who could get

221
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 7: bank this year.

222
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 2: Packers left tackle Rashid Walker.

223
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 7: I'm told that talking to two personnel people, he's the

224
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 7: number one tackle on different people's board going into free agency.

225
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 2: He's a guy who's excellent in pass pro.

226
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 7: It's always a position that gets paid a lot in

227
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 7: free agency, and look, he's just twenty six years old.

228
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 7: One team I'm told to keep on the Cleveland Browns,

229
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 7: who have a lot of offensiveligne needs. They've expressed interests

230
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 7: potentially in Walker, and this is something that could potentially

231
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 7: heat up as we go into Indianapolis next week. You know,

232
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 7: whether it's the Packers, the Browns, or another team, somebody's

233
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 7: going to give Walker a lot of money because they

234
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 7: need offensive tackles who.

235
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 2: Can pass protect.

236
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 7: And of course the Browns their two tackles were the

237
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 7: worst in football in that department this past year, and

238
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 7: so that's going to be one of the names to

239
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 7: watch as we hand out look at who hands out

240
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 7: the money going into free agency. And finally, let's go

241
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 7: back to Miami where you introduced me. Tom where a

242
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 7: lot of rival teams are eager to talk to the

243
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 7: Dolphins in Indianapolis to see which players they are willing

244
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 7: to trade. This is a team that is resetting towards youth,

245
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 7: and so of course the Dolphins would love to trade

246
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 7: to There's going to be some difficulties with the money there.

247
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 7: Teams would love for them to trade Jay Lenwado and

248
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 7: Devon a Chan. I'm told right now they're wanting to

249
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 7: keep those guys as core players. But one name that

250
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 7: could create some interest, Safety mink of fits Pass could

251
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 7: be mutually beneficial.

252
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 2: He's twenty nine years.

253
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 7: Old, coming off a strong year, can still be an

254
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 7: impact starter. Set to make fifteen point six million dollars

255
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 7: in non guaranteed money. Maybe he could be traded to

256
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 7: a team contender that can need that big boost again.

257
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 7: Something that heats up in Indianapolis next week, and we'll

258
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 7: have coverage from the scouting Combine all week with you

259
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,120

Speaker 8: Fame inductee, Steve Weich. So thankful for this week. It's

270
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 8: been a really fun event for the players. Ahead of

271
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 8: Saturday's game, they had a walk through, then they traded

272
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 8: those playbooks in for resumes here at the Career Fair.

273
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 8: But Steve, as you look ahead to kick off this

274
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 8: entire week, what really set out in what we're watching

275
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 8: for is defense.

276
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 3: Defense, and to Bucky tomorrow, this is when it gets

277
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 3: real and we know it is the stone Wall defensive line.

278
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 3: So let's go to Team Robinson. Two Jackson State standouts,

279
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 3: Quincy Ivory the edge player, are the swack defensive player

280
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 3: of the year, and Jeremiah Williams the defensive tackle. He's

281
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 3: been the most disruptive player all week and he has

282
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 3: got these pro scouts really buzzing.

283
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 5: On the other side.

284
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 9: Eric Hunter from Morgan State to someone that scouts had

285
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 9: been buzzing about his versatility, his ability to be a

286
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 9: sideline the sideline chaser. He's gonna have a chance to

287
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 9: put his hand down and make them happen.

288
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 8: And we're gonna see what the offense can do against

289
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 8: some of those defensive guys that you mentioned, Bucky. We

290
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 8: can't go on without talking about some of the quarterbacks

291
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 8: that caught your eye this week.

292
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 9: Yeah. Walker Harris from North Carolina Central twenty twenty five

293
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 9: meech offensive played a year, three thousand passing yards. The

294
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 9: left hander has been slinging it throughout the practice week.

295
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: But what you've seen.

296
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 9: Is the command of the game as getting closer to

297
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 9: game time, his ability to make it happen. Ending as

298
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 9: a running back, Reggie Davis from Alcorn who is a versatile,

299
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 9: dynamic threat. He's gonna have a chance to be big time.

300
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 6: Yeah.

301
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 3: These killed players though, they need the big offensive lineman

302
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 3: and the two players who have caught the NFL scouts

303
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 3: most Bruno Ungwizzo, the left tackle out of Virginia State

304
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 3: and Cameron Smith, the left tackle out of Alabama State.

305
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 10: Two very large individuals. Really will be on displays here.

306
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 8: We'll see who will stand out, but for sure looking

307
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 8: forward to seeing how these players take advantage of this opportunity,

308
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 8: and be sure to watch because the guys we are

309
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 8: seeing on Saturday, every year this game has been played,

310
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 8: they have landed on an NFL roster and on several

311
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 8: of those NFL teams that you enjoyed cheering for on Sundays.

312
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: We'll be watching Sherry the HBCU Legacy Bowl tomorrow four

Speaker 11: make an impact. That's why I'm teaming up with the

336
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: sake one watch of football. Stuff to get to, but

337
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: start out. Tell me more about this partnership you've got

338
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: with the American Red Cross.

339
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 11: Yeah, the first thing you have for me. But yeah,

340
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 11: the partnership I have with American Red Cross has been

341
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 11: super cool. I've been big in my career of trying

342
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 11: to do as much as I can to make an

343
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 11: impact in my community and make change.

344
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 5: And then when you get.

345
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 11: Partner up with the Red Cross, you realize that you know,

346
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 11: it's not just about raising money, it's not about just

347
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 11: donating money.

348
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 5: How helpful, and you know how.

349
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 11: Much donating blood goes away, especially with cancer with trauma

350
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 11: sickle cell. I really didn't know so when I got

351
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 11: to partner with them, I really got to educate myself

352
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 11: and only took sixty minutes of my time to do it.

353
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 11: And within that sixty minutes you're making such a change

354
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 11: and having a big impact.

355
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 6: Also, it is a great message. Let's talk a little

356
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 6: bit about football. We want to turn the page and

357
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 6: look to next season, but first you've had some time

358
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 6: to relax, to get away a little bit with distance.

359
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 6: What do you think happened last year? Why we're thinking

360
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 6: so much more difficult for the Eagles last year.

361
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 11: Yeah, sadly this year didn't go to the way we

362
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 11: would like.

363
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 5: So you have a little bit more.

364
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 11: Time to reflect on the season.

365
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 5: And I think that's a great question.

366
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 11: At the end of the day, we just weren't consistent

367
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 11: enough throughout games, and you know, that's something that we

368
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 11: have to challenge ourselves to get ready.

369
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 5: For next year.

370
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 11: We got made a lot of changes offense, you know,

371
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 11: with the coaching staff so excited to get in the

372
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 11: building and learn something new and you know, just go

373
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 11: out on the field and put yesterday for the last

374
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 11: year in the past.

375
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 5: You know, it's hard, it's hard. It's really hard to

376
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 5: go back to back you know, you.

377
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 11: Think it's easy, and you have all the talent and

378
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 11: you know what it takes to get there, so in

379
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 11: your mind you're like, why not.

380
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 5: But it doesn't just work like that.

381
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 11: Every team, every year, you know, is building up and

382
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 11: getting ready to perform and for Super Bowl, and we

383
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 11: gotta do the same thing.

384
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: This has become a sort of annual tradition in Philadelphia

385
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: every off season, for good reasons or bad reasons. You

386
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: got a new offensive coordinator, this guy Sean Manion, thirty

387
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: three years old, which is not a whole lot older

388
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: than you, younger than some of the guys who are

389
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: part of that offense. And you know that it's going

390
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: to be a scheme that we've seen, the one that

391
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: he played it under Matt Lafleur in Green Bay, under

392
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: Sean McVay out there with the Rams. When you think

393
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: about what you know about that system, how do you

394
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: think it fits this team and specifically your game.

395
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 11: I'm super excited about it. I'm going on year nine,

396
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 11: which is crazy to say, and I've had a lot

397
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 11: of different coaches and head coaches have been apart a

398
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 11: lot of systems, and I don't think I really came

399
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 11: across the system like this, and for me it's just

400
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 11: about you know, it's refreshing.

401
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 5: You get something new, you get to learn something new.

402
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 11: You know, I got to meet him, I didn't really

403
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 11: we didn't really talk about s's and o's and kind

404
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 11: of just really you know, kept it just introduction and

405
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 11: got to me a lot of the new guys on offense.

406
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 11: But as a competitor, you love it the challenge of

407
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 11: putting yourself in a new system and you know, doing

408
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 11: the things that you do really well and also things

409
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 11: that you need to prove on and.

410
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 5: That they're going to challenge us to do. And I

411
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 5: feel like.

412
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 11: We are able to have that mindset as an offense

413
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 11: and buy into that.

414
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 5: I think the skuys skys are limiting.

415
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 6: How do you think the offense is going to look

416
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 6: to us? Like, how is it going to look different?

417
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I really don't know.

418
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 11: I haven't been part of the system. From everything that

419
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 11: that was told, very creative, it's super smart. All the

420
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 11: guys that we hi are super smart and competitive, like

421
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 11: they want to be great and they're excited with the

422
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 11: talent that we have. And I think, you know, I

423
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 11: think we buy in to everything that's new and you know,

424
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 11: continue to have our standard and all the things that

425
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 11: we do at a high level. I feel like what

426
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 11: we did last year is going to be in the past.

427
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 11: You got to learn from it, and I think that

428
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 11: we have the guys that are willing to learn from it.

429
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 5: I don't think.

430
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 11: I know we have the guys that are willing to

431
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 11: willing to learn from it and gotta go out there

432
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 11: in OTA's and get ready and compete there with learning

433
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 11: to playbook and we go out there. We have the talent,

434
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 11: We have talent, and we have great coaches. Now we

435
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 11: just got to put all together.

436
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,479
Speaker 1: You mentioned it year nine for you, and yes, it

437
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: does seem crazy to us as well.

438
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 2: That you've been around the NFL that long.

439
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: You've always everybody knows, just genetically and in terms of physically,

440
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: you've always been advanced. But this stage in your career,

441
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: so to speak, what does it entail in the off season.

442
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: You're obviously on vacation right now, But is it more work,

443
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: is it more rest? How do you approach having that

444
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: machine ready to roll through an entire seventeen game season

445
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: and more.

446
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 11: Yeah, definitely a vacation right now. As the sun is

447
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 11: shining in my eyes. Home not a bad thing. It's

448
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 11: a little better weather right now than than it is

449
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 11: in Philadelphia. But the way you attack it, it's it's

450
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 11: definitely different, and I had to learn.

451
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 2: I had to learn.

452
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 5: But it's being consistent within my routine. When I was younger, I.

453
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 11: Said, get right after it, and you know, I was

454
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 11: how many, how many ways I can live?

455
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 5: How can I run? How strong? Can I get extra?

456
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 5: Extra extra?

457
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 11: And it's still that mindset is in a different way.

458
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 11: I'm attacking, you know, the angles that I'm trying to

459
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 11: get into. How can I get into my knees and

460
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 11: my ankles better, my heads better? How can I continue

461
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 11: to stay healthy? How can I just be a better athlete,

462
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 11: better athlete that played.

463
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 5: That's playing football.

464
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 11: I've been doing all those things, and you do that

465
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 11: kind of right after the season. So it's not really

466
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 11: the mindset of putting five hundred pounds on your back

467
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 11: right now, Like I'm working on trampolines. I'm working literally

468
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 11: like little stuff where a hula hoop of you know,

469
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 11: getting my body coordination back together. All these things that

470
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 11: I'm super excited and it's new and it's different, but

471
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 11: you know, you want to play as long as you can,

472
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 11: and I want to be super successful for every long time.

473
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 11: So you've got to change it up. And I feel

474
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 11: like it's been helpful. And you know, I got a

475
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 11: routine now that that I love and I just got

476
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 11: to continue to stick with it.

477
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 6: I don't know when you got work, but what was

478
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 6: your reaction when you found out Lien was going to

479
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 6: come back for a fourteenth season.

480
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 11: I mean, yeah, super excited. I kind of just figured

481
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 11: he was coming back. I guess we had conversations about it.

482
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 5: It just he's he's so he's.

483
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 11: So competitive and he has the will of wanting to

484
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 11: be great. I mean, he already has a Hall of

485
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 11: Fame career. But as a you know, as a great friend,

486
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 11: he's a great friend. But as a teammate and a

487
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 11: running back, having Lane Johnson coming back definitely puts a

488
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 11: smile in your face. But I know how poor he

489
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 11: is to that off salon room, to our team and

490
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 11: the type of leadership that he brings.

491
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 5: So super excited to.

492
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 11: Get good things rolling and you know, uh start the

493
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 11: season off with a bang and finished off with the bank.

494
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: Hopefully she got this vacation that you're you're on right now.

495
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 1: I know you got some friends and family out there.

496
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: What else does the next especially these next like six

497
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: weeks before all the off season training per are like

498
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: what else is on the docket for sa kuon Barkley

499
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: in the off season?

500
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean you get time to be a better dad.

501
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 11: You know, you're able to get to the school drop

502
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 11: offs and the school it's up. You play golf, even

503
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 11: though I'm getting worse and worse somehow play golf. You

504
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 11: enjoy your time with your family and friends. And then

505
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 11: you grind in between. You grind in between. You still

506
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 11: got to stay focused. Uh you really, it's really not

507
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 11: you know it's an off season, but you let you

508
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 11: let your body get time to to recover, but you're

509
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 11: still training, and it just it's just different.

510
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 5: It's just different different stages.

511
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 11: You know, in the beginning, it's getting your body back,

512
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 11: is getting your mobility, it's getting your coordination.

513
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 5: Uh.

514
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 11: Then it's building strength, building muscle, and throughout that it's

515
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 11: conditioning the whole time. And then as the season gets

516
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 11: closer and camp is closer, you ramp up and you

517
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 11: get into it. I used to try to come into

518
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 11: camp extreme like in shape now learning you let camp.

519
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 5: Get you in shape for the season. But it's fun.

520
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 11: It's it's been a fun journey, fun nine fun nine years.

521
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 11: It's crazy to say, but it's still trying to get better.

522
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 2: All right, Man, get back to the pool.

523
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: The Pinia Kalate left behind whatever you got going there.

524
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: Enjoy this time. Appreciate having you here. Spoke to for

525
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: the American Red Cross Superstar Sakwale Barkley, Appreciate it.

526
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 12: Man.

527
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 2: Thank you guys BS Moore to come.

528
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 1: On the show tonight, including well, you can guess what

529
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: Adam Rank's thoughts were on the Bears moving to Indiana.

530
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 2: Probably a lot the same as that guy Rank with

531
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 2: his thoughts. You were not going to want to.

532
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: Miss this next on The Insiders, The Chicago bears potential

533
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 1: move to Indiana took another step forward on Thursday when

534
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: a key committee approved by a twenty four zero margin

535
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: they plan to create an agency that would finance, construct,

536
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: and lease a stadium. As the Bears look at a

537
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: tract of land in Hammond, Indiana, could it indeed be

538
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: the East Chicago Bears, the monsters of the middle of

539
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: the country. Let's rain our Adam Rank, who I'm sure

540
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 1: has some thoughts on this rank.

541
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 2: Go ahead, laid on me. What do you got? Beg

542
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 2: you so much?

543
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 5: Tom?

544
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 2: As the Chicago Bears, as you.

545
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 13: Said, announce on Thursday, they're getting closer to an agreement

546
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 13: with the city of Hammond, Indiana, is a potential home

547
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 13: site for the Chicago Bears and Bears fans as you,

548
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 13: you could imagine, reacted much in the same way with

549
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,959
Speaker 13: the much profanity as those workers at the Wieners circle

550
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 13: back in the day. The would be blushing by some

551
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 13: of the things that I read online. So much so

552
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 13: there were even those who said they would never root

553
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 13: for the Bears again. Have I some I mean this

554
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 13: guy like God really who is seen in Las Vegas

555
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 13: earlier this year wearing a Bears hat in a Las

556
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 13: Vegas Raiders jersey, or I should say you are seen

557
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 13: in Paradise, Nevada, which is where the stadium actually is.

558
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 2: But we'll get to that.

559
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 13: And just admitted, but I love I love this idea

560
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 13: that you're gonna walk out of the Bears now like

561
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 13: you live through Peter, Tom Willis you live through the

562
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 13: Double Doink, You lived through the Packers, putting up forty

563
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 13: two points at us.

564
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 10: At halftime of a primetime game. But now now is

565
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 10: when you're gonna leave.

566
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 13: Good one, Ben Johnson Caleb Williams are there. Now is

567
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 13: the time you're gonna go, because they're gonna move potentially

568
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 13: twenty miles away.

569
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 10: I don't buy it. And let's for us.

570
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 13: That's reason that maybe maybe the Bears are using this

571
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 13: for leverage, kind of like the way a little kid

572
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 13: threatens to run away. Then they get out the door,

573
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 13: they get as far as the mailbox, and then.

574
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 2: They turn around. They're like, yeah, nobody's chasing me.

575
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 13: They get hungry, they want to go have some pringles,

576
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 13: so they run back inside of that person telling a

577
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 13: story that might have been an autobio autographical table. We're

578
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 13: getting all worried about nothing, like the time I spilled

579
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 13: paint in the parents' garage and I worried about it

580
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 13: all day and my dad.

581
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 10: Came home and he's like, whatever, not a big deal.

582
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 13: But let's for a second, for the sake of argument

583
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 13: to humor you, let's say the Bears were to move

584
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 13: to ham in Indiana. Yeah, let's say, okay, but listen,

585
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 13: who cares who's dunking on us? You know, who is

586
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 13: the Packer fans, the Packers who who play in a

587
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 13: suburb of Milwaukee. And for the record, ham in Indiana

588
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 13: has a white castle.

589
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 10: Green Bay has none.

590
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 13: So much like the twenty twenty five playoffs, I will

591
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 13: claim scoreboard on that one. And by the way, the

592
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 13: Chicago Bears would not be the first team to not

593
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 13: play in the city limits of their name. Like did

594
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 13: you not hear that the forty nine Ers played in

595
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 13: Santa Clara, The Rams and Chargers play in Inglewood.

596
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 10: The Cowboys allegedly play in Arlington.

597
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 13: They host games there, I should say, but it's not

598
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 13: the same. Here's the thing too, it's people are like,

599
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 13: but you're crossing state lines, yes, like the New York

600
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 13: Giants and the New York Jets. The Kansas City Chiefs

601
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 13: announced earlier this year they're moving from Missouri to Kansas.

602
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 13: And guess what, nobody cares because most of you watch

603
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 13: the games on television or you watch them at a

604
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 13: cracker barrel, which again Hammond has one of Green Bay

605
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 13: has none.

606
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 10: And here's the bottom line. You know what you got mad?

607
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 13: Four years the Bears were operated like a mom and

608
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 13: pop operation, which they kind of were. But they went

609
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 13: out last season hired Ben Johnson, gave them the bag

610
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 13: thirteen mil. You went out there, revamped the offensive line,

611
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 13: you drafted a bunch of offensive talent. If you want

612
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 13: to go out there and continue to be a serious

613
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 13: organization in the NFL, these are the decisions that you

614
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 13: have to make. Listen. I would love to sit here.

615
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 13: It's Soldier Field. I love Soldier Field. I love being

616
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 13: on the lake. But it's very rare that you find

617
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 13: a team that is actually playing in this city that

618
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 13: they represent, except for that's right, cal State Fullerton, where

619
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 13: I will be this holiday on the call for s

620
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 13: Fullerton anytime.

621
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 8: Listen.

622
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: It's not just it's not just people.

623
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 13: This is it's also going to be Patrick Claife on

Speaker 1: try to keep doing that. Get that off the screen.

629
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: Enough of Rank. Maybe the Bears can move to cal

630
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: State Fullerton, Fullerton, California. Why not be about the same thing.

631
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: No shorte highlights this season for Carson Schwesssinger, your defensive

632
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year from the Cleveland Browns, a guy

633
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: who joined us on The Insiders about a year ago

634
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: going into the draft. Fair to say, things at least personally,

635
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: have gone well for him since Carson back on the

636
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,959
Speaker 1: show with us right now. Tons to discuss here, but

637
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: let's go to that moment getting the Defensive Rookie of

638
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: the Year honor.

639
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 2: What did it mean to you.

640
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: Not just to be walking on that stage accepted it,

641
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: but also to hear your dad Dennis announce you was

642
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: the winner.

643
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 14: Yeah, No, that moment was pretty special. I think for

644
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 14: me too. I had my whole family there, which was

645
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 14: pretty fun. And then you know, getting to see my

646
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 14: dad announce it, and then you know, hug my mom

647
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 14: right away right after, and you know, go see him

648
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 14: on stage, and you know, the whole moment.

649
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 5: Is pretty special. And I'll remember that one for the

650
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 5: rest of my life.

651
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 6: Christ And I think the last time I talked to

652
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 6: you was in London. You guys were getting ready to

653
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 6: play the game in London. Obviously a lot has changed

654
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 6: since then. You're the Defensive Rookie of the Year, but

655
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 6: also an awful lot of changes at the Browns. New

656
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 6: head coach new defensive coordinator, seeings like a lot of

657
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 6: your former teammates are leaving. What have you heard, What

658
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 6: conversations have you had with folks inside the building about

659
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 6: what to expect from the Browns defense this year.

660
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 14: I think, you know, one of the big things for

661
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 14: us is we wanted to keep a lot of the

662
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 14: scheme the same. So in terms of that, I don't

663
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 14: I don't expect there to be a lot of changes.

664
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 5: And for me, I'm just you.

665
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 14: Know, ready to go in there and kind of just

666
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 14: build off what we did last year and really keep

667
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 14: the defense rolling and you know, get in there ready

668
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 14: to work and learn whatever I got to learn now,

669
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 14: and you know, keep doing what we're doing.

670
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: Have you heard from Todd Monkin, Mike Ruttenberg if you

671
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: talk to those guys at all. Obviously scheme and terminology

672
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: stays the same, but personality could be different.

673
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, not a whole lot yet.

674
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 14: I think, you know, they got a lot of things

675
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 14: they got to handle, so, uh, you know, I'm excited

676
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 14: to get there and talk to them when the time comes,

677
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 14: and you know, really looking forward to getting to work.

678
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 6: I'm sure you've seen on social media the posts from

679
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 6: some of your guys on the Browns announcing that they

680
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,959
Speaker 6: are not going to be back. They don't expect to

681
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 6: be back, uh in Cleveland. You're just starting your career.

682
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 6: Sort of how do you process that sort of the

683
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 6: turnover in personnel year to year in the NFL.

684
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 14: I think that's that's one of the adjustments you you

685
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 14: learn as a rookie is that's kind of how the

686
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 14: NFL works, and it's a little bit of a business

687
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 14: in that aspect, and you know, you you just kind

688
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 14: of look to, you know, be thankful for the time

689
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 14: you have with with the guys you know each year,

690
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 14: and just knowing that because of how the NFL works,

691
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 14: that that it that it can change, and just really

692
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 14: look to I think those guys too, our guys I

693
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 14: learned a lot from and you know, thankful for the

694
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 14: time I had with them.

695
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: Obviously, you're the defensive rookie of the year. You also

696
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: the defensive player of the year Miles Garrett on your side.

697
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: That combination hadn't happened in decades. Just I know that

698
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: you got your own responsibilities on the field. You're studying

699
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: the opponent tape. You're not like watching Miles highlights in

700
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: your spare time, but being around him, see what he

701
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: did this year, How did it strike you as a

702
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: rookie watching one of the best.

703
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean even when you're watching, you know, we'll

704
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 14: be rewatching the games. Even if you're trying to watch yourself,

705
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 14: you end up watching what Miles was doing on the field,

706
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 14: just because of the impact he has on the game,

707
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 14: and so being able to be on the field with

708
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 14: him and then even throughout the week just just learn

709
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 14: from how he carries himself and what he does to prepare.

710
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 14: I think was very instrumental and being able to learn

711
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 14: quickly and get on the field fast, and you know,

712
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 14: I think the goal now is just to keep building

713
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 14: on that. And really, you know, when you see him

714
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 14: on the field too, it makes my job a whole

715
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 14: lot easier.

716
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 5: So it's pretty fun to be out there with him.

717
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 6: You obviously were well prepared because your transition went very well.

718
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 6: You had a fantastic rookie season. But what surprised you

719
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 6: in your rookie season in the NFL?

720
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 5: Oh Man, what's surprise me?

721
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 14: I think there's there's a there's probably a lot that

722
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 14: surprised me, And now looking back on it, I think

723
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 14: it's just there's a lot that surprises you early on,

724
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 14: and then it just becomes normal. You know, you're going

725
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 14: up against the best of the best every week, which

726
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 14: is which is an adjustment, but then you just kind

727
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 14: of get used to it.

728
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 5: Each week. There's there's guys that.

729
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 14: You know are some of the best in the NFL,

730
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 14: and you got to figure out what it's going to

731
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 14: take to stop them. And you know, I think, you know,

732
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 14: other than that, just seeing some of the plays that

733
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 14: that guys on the defense made, we got a we

734
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 14: got a really good defense throwing and you know, I'm

735
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 14: excited to keep that going.

736
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: Your rookie class last year, it wasn't just you, but

737
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: you have two running backs who are really good, including

738
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: Quinn Shawn Judkins, Mason Graham had a really good year,

739
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: Harold Fan And you also have two rookie quarterbacks in

740
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: the building, one of whom Shador Sanders, finishes out the

741
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: second half of the season. What if anything have you

742
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: seen I'll be at a small sample size from Chaudor

743
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: at this point to make you believe that this team

744
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: can go places, go to the playoffs, maybe go to

745
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: a super Bowl.

746
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 2: Within was the quarterback.

747
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 14: I think like you said, the rookie class as a

748
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 14: whole played great, and I think that's something that we

749
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 14: really can build off because we have guys, you know,

750
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 14: and in all levels of the field. And then just

751
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 14: from him specifically being able to go in there and

752
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 14: and run the offense as a rookie.

753
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 5: It's a hard thing to do.

754
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 14: I think, you know, as somebody who's calling the defense,

755
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 14: you know, obviously, I think doing that on offense is

756
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 14: a lot, a lot bigger of a job, but a

757
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 14: little bit of understanding there and kind of what it

758
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 14: takes and so being able to do that and have

759
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 14: the poise and then you see, you know, growth every week.

760
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 14: And I think that's that's really what you can ask for,

761
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 14: is you know, every week, the rookie class as a

762
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 14: whole was just getting better. And I think that's that's

763
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 14: the plan building into this next year.

764
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 6: I know it's early in the off season, you're just

765
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 6: chilling at home right now, But where do you want

766
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 6: to grow your game in the off season? What do

767
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 6: you want to work on?

768
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 5: Oh man, I think for me, there's there's a whole

769
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 5: lot of aspects.

770
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 14: I think you know, you can you can always get

771
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 14: better in all aspects and so obviously I still want

772
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 14: to be able to react and and you know, I'll

773
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 14: be able to anticipate things better. And then you know,

774
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 14: you have smaller skills, whether it's you know, certain things Russian,

775
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 14: you know, when I'm when I'm blitzinger, certain things, you know,

776
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 14: whether it's the punch outs, I'm getting better at that.

777
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 5: And then just still.

778
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 14: Getting getting a grip on, you know, going out there

779
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 14: and calling the defense and just trying to build on

780
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 14: that and get even more comfortable doing that so that

781
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 14: you know all the other you know, I can start

782
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 14: to focus on all the other parts of the game

783
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 14: as well.

784
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: Going back to that, when we had you on before

785
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: the draft and I asked you about what's a player

786
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: that you model your game after. The first name out

787
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: of your mouth was Luke Keigley Luke one defensive Rookie

788
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: of the Year is first season, year two, he was

789
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year, and then in that same

790
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: ceremony where you got your award, he goes into the

791
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Fame. Did you get any interaction

792
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: with Luke through that process? And bigger picture, how do

793
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: you stay motivated and ascending here as you go into

794
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: year two?

795
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 14: No, I wasn't able to have any interaction, but I

796
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 14: think still it is pretty cool to, you know, be

797
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 14: at the ceremony where he was inducted in the Hall

798
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 14: of Aim and so having that be a guy that

799
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 14: you know, I watch a lot.

800
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 5: It was it was pretty cool to see.

801
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 14: And I think just the way to stay motivated, it's

802
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 14: pretty pretty simple for me.

803
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 5: It's just to keep building.

804
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 14: I think, you know, each week from from last year

805
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 14: I was, I was trying to get better, and I

806
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 14: think each week I did, And so that's really just

807
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 14: the same mindset going into this next year is how

808
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 14: can I get better each week from from OTAs to

809
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 14: training camp to once you get into the season, every

810
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 14: week and and building on that I think you know

811
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:29,720
Speaker 14: will lead to success.

812
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: Enjoy this a little bit of downtime, Max. You mentioned OTAs.

813

Speaker 2: Is second to none.

858

859
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:00,399
Speaker 12: just just having that backup plan and having another option

860
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 12: other than football.

861
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 8: And Danielle, we were talking about this the event like

00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:12,960
