1
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: It's only April eleventh, and we already have our first

2
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: quarterback injury that could impact the twenty twenty five season.

3
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: Where do the Saints go from here? With Derek Carr's

4
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: status in jeopardy again, we will tell you the latest.

5
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: In New Orleans, the NFL Draft is just thirteen days away,

6
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: and Travis Hunter will not have to wait long to

7
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: hear his name called.

8
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 2: Will he be an NFL receiver? A corner?

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: Both hear what the Heisman Trophy winner is saying now

10
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: about his positional and geographical destinations. Michael Parsons does not

11
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: appear to be headed out of Dallas, but he also

12
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: does not appear to be close to a record breaking contract.

13
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: Jane Slater is going to be here nobody better to

14
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: break down all angles as the offseason program approaches, and

15
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: also discussed where the Cowboys could look with the number

16
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: twelve pick. Welcome Inside with the Insiders alongside Ian Rappaport,

17
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: I'm Tom Pilicero in the NFL Network newsroom in Los Angeles.

18
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: We got special guests on the show tonight.

19
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: Josh Connerley, junior tackle from Oregon, a potential first round pick.

20
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 2: He's going to be on the show.

21
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: So is our buddy Brett Lewis, who unleashed a mock

22
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: draft with a shocking trade at number two. Stick around

23
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 1: and hear from rep. But let's begin with the big

24
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: news that Ian reported a short time ago. Derek Carr,

25
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: whose time in New Orleans has been marked by a

26
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: number of things but certainly including injuries, now dealing with

27
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: another one and his season. Ian sounds like it is

28
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: very much in Jeffarty.

29
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 3: That's right.

30
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 4: My understanding is that Derek Carr faces a murky future

31
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 4: in New o owns specifically rated to the twenty twenty

32
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 4: five season. Sources say Derek Carr is now dealing with

33
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 4: a significant shoulder injury, believed to be a throwing shoulder

34
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 4: injury that he has now been seeking medical opinions on.

35
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 4: From what I understand, a decision is coming from Carr

36
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 4: on how he is going to proceed, and yes, surgery

37
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 4: is an option. If Derek Carr did in fact have surgery,

38
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 4: it would likely take him off the field at the

39
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 4: very least the start of the twenty twenty five season,

40
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 4: likely more likely would put the New Orleans Saints and

41
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 4: new coach Kellen Moore in this entirely new staff on

42
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 4: the field without the person who has been their starting

43
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 4: quarterback for the last several years. We do not know

44
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 4: as of right now the immediate future of car Noise.

45
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 4: It clear how and when this injury happened. Believed to

46
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 4: have occurred at some point last season. Remember, he was

47
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 4: dealing with a broken non throwing end to end this

48
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 4: season and that was it. It's unclear if he had

49
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 4: the injury at that time. There's still a ton of

50
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 4: questions tom for the New Orleans Saints. What we know

51
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 4: now is that Derek Carr needs to make a decision

52
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 4: based on the medical opinions he will receive. And we

53
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 4: also know that heading into the NFL Draft, where the

54
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 4: Saints pick number nine, there's now a major major question

55
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 4: about their quarterback need. In the first round or certainly early.

56
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: Saints Oderek Carr forty million dollars, it's guaranteed this season.

57
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: There was back and forth in the off season about

58
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: whether or not, potentially they would restructure it in a

59
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: more substantial way, including a pay cut. Car was not going.

60
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: Along with that, there were retirement rumblings among other things.

61
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: Now here we are once again wondering who the Saints

62
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: quarterback is going to be should be noted they own

63
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: the number nine overall pick, and even before this came

64
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: to light, the Saints were doing their homework on a

65
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: lot of different potential quarterbacks that could be factors in

66
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: the draft, whether that's at number nine or it's later on.

67
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: As we evaluate the future of Schadoor Sanders, Jackson Dart

68
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: among others, and Tyler Shook potentially as well, it is

69
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: notable that perhaps while they've always needed that quarterback of

70
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: the future, now they might also need the quarterback of

71
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: right now. In related news, the Browns added yet another

72
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: quarterback to their room. It is Joe Flacco who is

73
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: back in Cleveland. It's a one year, four million dollar contract.

74
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: He ken earn up to thirteen million dollars with incentives.

75
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: This is backup quarterback tight money for Joe Flacco on

76
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: a team that also acquired Kenny Pickett by trade in

77
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: the offseason, but owns the number two overall pick and

78
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: five picks in the first three rounds or so in

79
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: the draft. You take a look at some of the

80
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: mock drafts that our experts have done and who they

81
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: are picking for the Browns. You see some love for

82
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,799
Speaker 1: shandor Sanders as well as Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter.

83
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,119
Speaker 3: Ret Lewis. So now we gave it away.

84
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 2: He'll break it all.

85
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: Down and how in the world they got to end

86
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: up taking Ashton genty. They did not do it at

87
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: number two. I'll leave the rest of it to him.

88
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: But when it comes to Joe Flacco Ian and the Browns,

89
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: this is not a move that precludes them from doing anything,

90
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: whether that's through a trade or the draft, but it

91
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: does add a quarterback to Kevin Stefanskian company.

92
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 4: Know well, the goal of NFL teams, as you know, Tom,

93
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 4: is that they want to enter the upcoming draft, whichever

94
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 4: year it is. But we'll talk this year's draft because

95
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 4: that's coming up in about two weeks. They want to

96
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 4: enter the draft with a team that they could feel right. Basically,

97
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 4: they want to say, if the season started today, we

98
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 4: would have a team ready.

99
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 3: Now. The hope is to go into.

100
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 4: The draft draft the best player available and not need

101
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 4: need anything.

102
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 3: The Browns are now in that position.

103
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 4: That's basically how it would characterize the signing today of

104
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 4: Joe Flacco. One year he gets three million dollars guaranteed

105
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 4: you right, That is basically backup quarterback money. But at

106
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 4: least they have a quarterback room that could go into

107
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 4: the season and be okay. My understanding does not take

108
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 4: them away from anything. It's actually similar to the New

109
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 4: York Giants that with Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston. Could

110
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 4: they take a quarterback, of course they could. Could they

111
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 4: take them in the first round, of course they could.

112
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 4: Similar to the Cleveland Browns, if it's a quarterback of

113
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 4: the future, They're not going to let a signing of

114
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 4: Joe Flacco for not a lot of money take them

115
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 4: away from that. It just gives them a little security

116
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 4: in case maybe someone takes the quarterback they want, in

117
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 4: case they try to execute the trade. It does happen,

118
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 4: and of course a lot of good feelings between Cleveland

119
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 4: and Joe flack of considering what he did leading to

120
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 4: the playoffs.

121
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 3: This is kind of a cool reunion.

122
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: That was not the only reunion for a veteran quarterback

123
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,119
Speaker 1: earlier today, the Seahawks also brought back an old friend.

124
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: It is Drew lock who is returning for Seattle in

125
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: a second stint after initially being acquired as part of

126
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: the Russell Wilson trade. Locksman last season with the Giants

127
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: did have some productive moments for them. Now back in

128
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: Seattle where he still has a lot of fans, this

129
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: time around as a backup quarterback behind Sam Darnold. Sam

130
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: Howell also in that quarterback room, and Josh Johnson is

131
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: headed back to the Commanders. Did Josh Johnson play for

132
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: the Commanders previously? He did, But it's also pretty safe

133
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: to say that any Josh Johnson team is a reunion.

134
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: He has played for pretty much the entire league. He

135
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 1: is now back behind Jayden Daniels in Washington. Meanwhile, that

136
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: NFL Draft just thirteen days away. Jalen Miller another name

137
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: the potentially you could here called in the first round

138
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: of the draft. And if that happens, Jayleen Milroe wants

139
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: to tell you why I.

140
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 5: Don't consider it a challenge.

141
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 2: I considered it as a superpower.

142
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 6: You know, it's something that's traits that people don't have,

143
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 6: and so why not benefit from that and why not

144
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 6: prepare to keep on dominating defenses and be able to

145
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 6: have something that other people have, because.

146
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 3: You know, it's unique, you know something everybody wants you

147
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 3: to have.

148
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 6: My superpower having my legs and my arms, So why

149
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 6: did I use that as a crush against myself because

150
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 6: someone doesn't like it if you don't like it stopping.

151
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 3: So I'm not, you know, phased by that that phase

152
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 3: of you.

153
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 6: Know why you're you know, while you're a runner and

154
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 6: things like that, because at the end of the day,

155
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 6: it's hard for defensive defensive coordita to stop it. You know,

156
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 6: one one corver that do not get at all. It's

157
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 6: too man, because no one has me. So it's it's

158
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 6: it's it's definitely a superpower of mind, and I use

159
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 6: my stress as my superpower.

160
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 2: Jail and Milroe played a lot of big games. So

161
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 2: did this guy, Quinn?

162
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: You ers only did was go to a couple of

163
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: college football playoffs when eleven to one on the road

164
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: as a starter, won a conference title in one conference,

165
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: then went to another one and took that team to

166
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: a conference championship game. I had him on the Rich

167
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: Eisen Show earlier today and asked him what he thinks

168
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: to the fact that he's not really been in the

169
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: conversation with those other big names.

170
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, man, I mean, like you said, I feel like

171
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 7: I'm a little underlooked for sure, you know, just looking

172
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 7: back at my resume, you know, winning the last twenty

173
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 7: one out of the twenty six games that I played,

174
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 7: like you said, going to Big twelve, winning that game,

175
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 7: then first year in the SEC, going to the SEC

176
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 7: championship game, you know, back to back years in the

177
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 7: college football playoffs, and you know, it was a fun ride,

178
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 7: and I mean, I couldn't be more excited. And like

179
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 7: you said, I feel like I'm the most polished quarterback

180
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 7: I've been through the most coming out of this draft

181
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 7: the most. I just feel like I'm the resiliency that

182
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 7: I've shown in the minch toughness that I've shown. It's

183
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 7: pretty much unmatched from from kind of what I had

184
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 7: to what I had to deal with and what I've

185
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 7: been through, and I wouldn't trade any of it for anything.

186
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 5: I think it's getting ready for.

187
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 3: The NFL and whatever is to come by way.

188
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 7: But yeah, eleven to one on the road, only lost

189
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 7: with my freshman year against Oklahoma State, so finished out

190
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 7: eleven and zero on the road. I mean, team was

191
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 7: five and seven before I got there, finished twenty seven

192
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 7: to five my last few years. You know, it was

193
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 7: fun turning that program around, and you know, with some help obviously,

194
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 7: but it was it was a lot of fun.

195
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: Oh, Bucky Brooks overloo Quin youwers as well. Here's his

196
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: top five quarterback prospects. Chadour at number one, Bucky's staying

197
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: on that island, cam Wore Jackson Dark, Jalen Miler, and

198
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: then Kyle McCord at Syracuse, the one time Ohio state

199
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: starter checking in at number five. Travis Hunter is in

200
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: Bucky's top five. I believe in multiple positions. He's a corner,

201
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: He's a receiver.

202
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 2: He is a.

203
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: Unicorn in this draft. And he told the Associated Press

204
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: recently that he's still unsure what side of the ball

205
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: teams will want him to focus on. That could vary

206
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: based upon the team that he ends up going to.

207
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: The Browns have made pretty clear that they would potentially

208
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: look at him as a wide receiver prospect. Other teams

209
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: would look at him as a corner.

210
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 8: What are you at the next level?

211
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 3: Both?

212
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 8: Just like you saw me play, you want to do both?

213
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 8: How many snaps in a football game? Can you play

214
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 8: all of them? If they gave me a chance and

215
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:23,599
Speaker 8: an opportunity.

216
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 9: To do it?

217
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 8: And so we were talking about the challenges that come

218
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 8: with it. You got to be in offensive meetings, You

219
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 8: got to be in defensive meetings, you got to be

220
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 8: in wide receiver meetings, you got to be in defensive

221
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 8: back meetings. How is there enough time to do all that?

222
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 8: How did you prepare for that when you played college? Well,

223
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 8: we kind of got twenty four hours in a day.

224
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 8: We probably sleep for by eight of those, so it's

225
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 8: probably got fifteen more.

226
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 3: So dedicated to those I'm dedicated to football.

227
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: Take a look at some of the players to start

228
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: a wide receiver and corner in the same game since

229
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty Antonio Cramarti, Champ Bailey, those two I'm pretty

230
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: sure were package type plays. Deon Sanders he was the

231
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: real number three receiver and had a whole bunch of

232
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: catches for the Cowboys back in nineteen ninety six. It

233
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: all brings us to the question ian of whether or

234
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: not Travis can follow in the footsteps. So the guy

235
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: who coached him there at Colorado, and it does seem like,

236
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: as you talk from team to team, the plan if

237
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: Travis Hunter were to go there might be a little

238
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: bit different.

239
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, you mentioned it right off the top, right, So

240
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 4: if he goes to Cleveland Browns A two, which is

241
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 4: certainly in the realm of possibilities, will start out as

242
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 4: a receiver, someone they believe is incredibly talented. He is

243
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 4: incredibly talented, and he hasn't exactly focused on receiver that much.

244
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 4: So whatever you're seeing on the fields a lot of

245
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 4: bait just based on his raw ability. Imagine if they

246
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 4: got that kind of coaching you get as a full

247
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 4: time receiver. That's at least how teams who view him

248
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 4: as a receiver feel, and then he would potentially sprinkle

249
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 4: in at corner. But there are several other teams teams

250
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 4: do pick high who view him as a corner first,

251
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 4: and you know.

252
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 3: We use the term shutdown.

253
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 4: That's not really the kind of player that Travis Hunter

254
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 4: would be. He's not Patrick shir Tamwi. Just lines up

255
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 4: with the number one guys, more of an instinctual maybe

256
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 4: someone who would excel and zone, someone who might get

257
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 4: beat some of it, might lead the league in interceptions,

258
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 4: just a really really unique corner. Then he could come

259
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 4: in play receiver, maybe in the red zone. This conversation

260
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 4: that we're having right now, Tom, we have not had

261
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 4: a lot in the last many many years.

262
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 3: This is a unicorn.

263
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 4: A lot of teams love him, but just don't know

264
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 4: how it's going to play out, and I think that's

265
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 4: kind of going to be part of the fun of

266
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 4: watching him is like it's all out there for Travis Hunter.

267
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 3: I just I don't know that he's just going to

268
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 3: play every snap of every game.

269
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: We'll think about some of the matches we have to

270
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: look forward to. You're facing the Chiefs, You go against

271
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: Trent McDuffie on Ovius and you flip around, try to

272
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: pick off Patrick.

273
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: Mahomes, who already is getting ready.

274
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: To take on Travis Hunter and any other corners that

275
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: might stand in his way. Throw in for one of

276
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: his new tight ends, Robert Tunyan recently ahead of the

277
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: upcoming start of the Chiefs off season program. Chiefs every

278
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: year lose about a month of the offseason because they're

279
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: always in the Super Bowl. But Patrick back at it

280
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: barely two months later. Meanwhile, the Texans rewarding one of

281
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: their own earlier today, Jalen Petrie, Green terms on a

282
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: three year, thirty nine million dollar extension. He gets over

283
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: twenty nine million dollar guaranteed can earn upwards of forty

284
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: two million with the incentives. That deal for Petree now

285
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: makes him the NFL's highest paid Nickel also a friend

286
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: of the Insider, so congrats to Jalen Petrie who continues

287
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 1: to also do a lot of great work down there

288
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: in the Houston community. A lot more to come here

289
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: on the Insiders, including Jane Slater will be here. What

290
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: is the latest on Michael Parsons? Exactly what will the

291
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys do with the number twelve overall pick? And after

292
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: this we already previewed it. Maybe maybe ruin the surprise

293
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: a little bit, but you'll have to wait for rat

294
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 1: Lewis to explain how that trade happened to land at

295
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: Ashton genty in Cleveland. It's a lot to take on.

296
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: Stick around light it next on the Insiders. Thirteen days

297
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: to the twenty twenty five NFL drafts. Still time to

298
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: get your mock drafts done. Rtt Lewis did that. You

299
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: can find a full mock draft right now at NFL

300
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: dot com. And now we're at Lewis joining us right

301
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: here on the Insiders with me, Tom Pellisero, Rhett. You've

302
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: got cam Or going number one along with all the

303
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: other mock drafts we've seen pretty close to a certainty

304
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: that's going to be the pick. So let's start out

305
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: at number two because you've got a trade right here.

306
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: Explain to me the thought process at number two.

307
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 10: Well, look, I think this is a draft that maybe

308
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 10: doesn't have as many way up there league, top tier,

309
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 10: blue chip type of players, but Travis Hunter is certainly

310
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 10: one of those guys. He feels like one of these

311
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 10: guys that.

312
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 2: You would move up to go and get.

313
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 10: And look, it's not a huge jump from six to

314
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 10: two for the Raiders to go up and make that

315
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 10: move with the Cleveland Browns, and it just so happens

316
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 10: to solve like two fairly big needs for them. And

317
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 10: I feel like Pete Carroll is a coach tom that

318
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 10: is going to be unafraid about using Travis Hunter full

319
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 10: go on both sides of the ball, dB and receiver,

320
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 10: and then maybe tapering back at some point if you

321
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 10: need to tinker with that a little bit.

322
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 5: But here's the thing.

323
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 10: You might have to give up a twenty six first

324
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 10: round pick to go and make this move. But I

325
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 10: think you would take Travis Hunter the wide receiver in

326
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 10: the first round, and then I think in another draft

327
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 10: you would take what Travis Hunter the dB in the

328
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 10: first round two. So this really feels like a two

329
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 10: for one, and I feel pretty good about giving up

330
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 10: the compensation to go get this player.

331
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: All right, So Travis Hunter goes at number two, then

332
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: at number three for the Giants, it's really Abdul Carter

333
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,479
Speaker 1: unless they go the quarterback route with Shador Sanders.

334
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 2: Why'd you go Carter there?

335
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 10: I'm just following all and reading all the tea leaves

336
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 10: that you and Ian and Micro dropping, and it certainly

337
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 10: sounds like you guys are saying that the Browns and

338
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 10: the Giants might be passing a two and three on

339
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 10: the quarterback. And in that case, knowing that the Giants

340
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 10: did make some move at the quarterback spot to fill

341
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 10: their room with Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, you could

342
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 10: arguably the best player in the draft falling into your

343
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 10: lap here at number three. Sure, they traded for Brian

344
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 10: Burns last year, drafted Kavon Thibodeau a couple of drafts ago,

345
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 10: but you know, for following the Eagles model of building

346
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 10: a bully up front, and if that's a championship model,

347
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 10: I feel pretty dang good about bringing a player like

348
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 10: Abdull Carter, the best edge rusher, defensive lineman to maybe

349
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 10: overall player in the draft in New York.

350
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: So you have the Browns then going down to six

351
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: where they once again pass on a quarterback.

352
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 11: RTT.

353
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 2: What's the plan here?

354
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 10: Well, look, I think we look back at the last

355
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 10: couple of playoff appearances here for the Cleveland Browns, they

356
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 10: were a much better running football team than they have

357
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 10: been recently. I think they're bottom third in the league

358
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 10: in terms of rushing yards per game last year. And

359
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 10: you're getting a player in Ashton genty. If you're watching

360
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 10: Path to the Draft today, we talked about Ladanian Tomlinson

361
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 10: type Tom at the very top if he maxes out

362
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 10: his potential and sign me up for that in Cleveland.

363
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 10: I think what he does if you get Kirk Cousins

364
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 10: via trade at some point or if you roll with

365
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 10: can you pick it, he really helps your quarterback this year.

366
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 10: And then if you go get a younger player let's say,

367
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 10: you know, second, third, fourth round this year, or you

368
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 10: just wait until next year to get a QB as

369
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 10: a rookie, he's going to ease that transition having that

370
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 10: big time run game.

371
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: There's one other team that's had all these top quarterback

372
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: prospects in for visits, including Schnor Standers, that is the

373
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 1: Steelers at number twenty one.

374
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 2: Where'd you go there?

375
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think it's become a pretty popular projection to

376
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 10: put Jackson Dart is the third quarterback off the board

377
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 10: and into the first round, into the Pittsburgh Steelers at

378
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 10: twenty one. Now, look, maybe there's a team that wants

379
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 10: to come back into the first round and try to

380
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 10: jump in front of the Steelers.

381
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 5: To go get that third quarterback at Jackson Dart.

382
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 10: But if he's there, I think either even if Aaron

383
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 10: Rodgers ends up on the roster, I don't know how

384
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 10: you feel about it, but I think even if this

385
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 10: gives you a really good long term option at the position,

386
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 10: and it just felt like they have not had that.

387
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 10: And obviously, here Rogers comes in, he's not going to

388
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 10: present that type of longevity four y at the position.

389
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 10: So having a high level player at Dart certainly makes

390
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 10: a lot of sense.

391
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: Rhett, great stuff as always, Good to see you, buddy,

392
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: We appreciate it.

393
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 9: No pro.

394
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson, the longtime cornerback, will announce his retirement as

395
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: a cardinal at a press conference on Mondays. When just

396
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: five defensive players in Super Bowl Air to make the

397
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl in each of his first eight seasons, last

398
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 1: played in twenty twenty three, with Pittsburgh now calling in

399
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: a career developing news tonight from Ian Rappaport, the Saints

400
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: suddenly have a major quarterback question, their starter Derek Carr,

401
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: now dealing with a shoulder injury that threatens his availability

402
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: for the twenty twenty five season. Car currently is weighing options,

403
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: including the possibility of surgery answers within the next couple

404
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 1: of weeks, timing up with a draft in which New

405
00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: Orleans happens down the number nine pick. Gent may or

406
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: may not still be on the board by that time.

407
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: One of the top prospects overall in this drafty Boise

408
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: State star, who some have mock drafted to of the

409
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys if he's there at number twelve, mock drafts

410
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: that certainly former Cowboys linebacker Jalen Smith would agree with.

411
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 12: In twenty sixteen, when I was drafted, I was drafted

412
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 12: second round. Dak was drafted in the same class, but

413
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 12: our number four overall pick was Ezekiel Elliott, a running back.

414
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys needs a running back.

415
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 12: Jerry Jones and the Jones family and the Dallas Cowboys

416
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 12: they love Boise State talent. I played with Kellen Moore,

417
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 12: who was the quarterback at Boise State, and I was

418
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 12: coached by him as the offensive coordinator in Dallas.

419
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 3: Leyden vander Esch was.

420
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 12: A Boise State player, DeMarcus Lawrence, Tyrone Crawford. There's some

421
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 12: Boise State connection, and I think Dallas is ready to

422
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 12: make a real push come A's Draft night.

423
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: A Boise State love connection as it were for the Cowboys,

424
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: who have drafted quite a few Boise State players over

425
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: the years, Leyton vandersh the most recent one, Cedric Wilson,

426
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence, among others. As we welcome I Jane Slater,

427
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: who is down there in Dallas. Is this are we

428
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: connecting the dots and the strings here a little too far?

429
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 9: Jane?

430
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 2: Or is this a real.

431
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: Possibility of Ashton Genty if he's actually there being the

432
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: new man in Dallas.

433
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 13: Look, when I was at the East West Shrine game

434
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 13: watching practices, one of Ashton Genty's people came over to

435
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 13: me and said, we've got to start talking about getting

436
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 13: him here to Dallas.

437
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 3: I said, you guys know, I.

438
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 13: Don't own the team, so I don't have that sort

439
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 13: of in but I think it's very clear that Ashton

440
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 13: Genty would love to be here. And look, there is

441
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 13: the Boise State connection. As Jalen Smith reference, there's obviously

442
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 13: a huge need at that position. The running back by

443
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 13: committee was an apt failure last year until they decided

444
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 13: to move forward to Rico Dawdle getting the majority of

445
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 13: the carries. But Asha Genty being there at twelve for them,

446
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 13: are them even taking a running back in the first round,

447
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 13: I think is going to be a bit of a

448
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 13: stretch guys.

449
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 3: Again, Ashon Gentz.

450
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 13: The reason why there's this connection is he went to

451
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 13: high school there in Frisco. He's the hometown guy. Obviously

452
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 13: would like to stay put. But I think there's a

453
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 13: couple of other ones you should keep an eye on.

454
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 13: What we do know from the Cowboys thirty visit so

455
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 13: far they've brought in at least four running backs, about.

456
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 3: As many as they have at the edge position.

457
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 13: Some of the guys that are really sort of moving

458
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 13: up and getting mocked to Dallas. Keep an eye on

459
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 13: Omari and Hampton and then the other one that I

460
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 13: think really impressed the Cowboys based on some of my

461
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 13: conversations was by Shell Tooton. Now, this was a guy

462
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 13: who ran a four to three to two at the combine.

463
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 13: If you listen to lanzer line, he'll tell you that

464
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 13: this guy has got immediate starter capabilities. He's got three

465
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 13: down value. And I was told not only did he

466
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 13: impress the coaches in the staff with the Cowboys when

467
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 13: he came in last week by the fact that he

468
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 13: was wearing a suit, but they also showed he had

469
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 13: a lot of maturity and they were also really impressed

470
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 13: in Virginia Tech kids football like you.

471
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 3: Of course, it's the Cowboys.

472
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 4: So we'll talk about them drafting a receiver, running back

473
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 4: and they'll probably take a center. Let's talk about a

474
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 4: current member of the Dallas Cowboys, Micah Parsons. We know

475
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 4: talks going on for a potential contract extension. Off season

476
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 4: workouts start on Monday. Do we know if we will

477
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 4: see their star pass rusher and everything else.

478
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 13: Listen, we haven't seen Micah Parsons in the last two

479
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 13: seasons voluntary workouts. He always makes a point to point

480
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 13: out to us they are in fact voluntary. I remember

481
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 13: I asked him out his locker. You know what sort

482
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 13: of message are you trying to send to the locker

483
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 13: room if you say that, you're a leader, Micah, and

484
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 13: you know Micah said, the guys get it. I was

485
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 13: also a little shocked with his transparency when he said,

486
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 13: I don't get paid like some of these guys.

487
00:22:59,480 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 9: To be here.

488
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 13: In other words, there are some built in stipends to

489
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 13: some of these contracts for some of the stars to

490
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 13: show up there. So that was sort of his way

491
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 13: of sending out a missive to the Cowboys as early

492
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 13: as last year that that's something he might like to

493
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 13: see and his contract now. Jerry Jones and Brian Schottenheimer,

494
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 13: the Cowboys new coach, intimated that they thought that Parsons

495
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 13: would be a participant this year.

496
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 3: We'll see if that's the case.

497
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 13: Mike McCarthy thought he was going to be their last year,

498
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 13: and then Parsons didn't show up. I reached out to

499
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,479
Speaker 13: Parsons to see if he had anything to say on it.

500
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 13: He hasn't responded back yet, so that will likely be

501
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 13: a storyline next week. Remember, folks, he's our voluntary and

502
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 13: he was there at the mandatory OTAs in June last year.

503
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: We'll look forward to Micah's answer to your text to

504
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: his next podcast. Jane, thank you as always for your insight.

505
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 9: Time.

506
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: Now for a segment that we all love. It's fact

507
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: or fiction with our buddy Adam Rank. Let's start right there,

508
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: Rank with Paul.

509
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 11: Let stop right there. Okay, I'm hold on for a second.

510
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 11: Oh boy, listen, I do this live on Friday night

511
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 11: every time I've got commitments. I'm going to go do

512
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 11: an old folks home a comedy show. And yet you

513
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 11: are sitting here in a different outfit, Bonsie, because earlier

514
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 11: when you're talking to RHTT, you're in a button up shirt.

515
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 11: Now you got the leather jacket on. It Is this

516
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 11: a clip show?

517
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: I knew what I wanted Brett to feel like. He

518
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: was not under dressed for the show, so I took

519
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: it off. Now straight back to the funds, Arelly. Hopefully

520
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: this show is not going to jump the shark. Okay,

521
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys fact or fiction, they need to draft a quarterback, Rank, Tom, I'm.

522
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 11: Gonna say that's a fact, but it's a fact if

523
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 11: the quarterback is Shadoor Sanders. Allow me to get out

524
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 11: of my conspiracy theory Tinfoil had as we go into it. Listen,

525
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 11: do the Cowboys necessarily need a quarterback. They don't. But

526
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 11: how fun would it be for the Dallas Cowboys to

527
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 11: be sitting there at twelve having Shador Sanders available to them, realizing, hey,

528
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 11: look if we alf Shador and we have them sit

529
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 11: the bench behind Dak Prescott because Dak Prescott's contract makes

530
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 11: it impossible to move him this year, but it's a

531
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 11: guy long term down the road. Not only could you

532
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 11: get Shadoor Sanders, you could also get Dion Sanders to

533
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 11: be the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. You can't

534
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 11: tell me. You can't tell me that Brian Schottenheimer is

535
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 11: the plan. That's a plan. See that's everything is closed.

536
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 11: I'm going to del Taco type of plan. Listen, Shador Sanders,

537
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 11: Dion Sanders, Dallas Cowboys, twenty twenty six. The Cowboys have

538
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 11: the chance to do the best thing ever and they

539
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 11: need to do it. And by the way, I think

540
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 11: that needs to happen.

541
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 4: I don't know what's worse the fact that you're calling

542
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 4: for the removal of Brian Schatanheimer before he's coached the game,

543
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 4: or whether you just destroyed Deltaco, which is actually totally fine.

544
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 4: I love Deltak, No I love Del Taco sounds like

545
00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 4: you really do the fact or fiction. If Aaron Rodgers

546
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 4: signs with the Pittsburgh Steelers, they should still draft a

547
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 4: quarterback in Round one.

548
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 11: Let's say you this is a fact, much like I

549
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 11: think that Permant's is a great place. That's a fact.

550
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 11: Del Taco's a great place. That's a fact. But I

551
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 11: do too. Listen, don't make me mismirch these places, and

552
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 11: I will not mismirch the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have an

553
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 11: opportunity to build for a quarterback of the future. Obviously,

554
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 11: if Aaron Rodgers comes in, this is going to be

555
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 11: a short term situation. But if the Pittsburgh Steelers have

556
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 11: a chance to draft somebody like Jackson Dark, maybe Schador

557
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 11: Sanders also falls down. If the Dallas Cowboys don't take them,

558
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 11: there don't There doesn't seem to be a lot of

559
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 11: teams in between the Cowboys and the Steelers who would

560
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 11: be taking a quarterback. So I think for the long

561
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 11: term viability for the Steelers, you draft your quarterback in

562
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 11: the future, bringing a veteran. I know this will anger

563
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 11: some people, but I think it kind of is reminiscent

564
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 11: in the time when the Pittsburgh Steelers had touchdown Tommy

565
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 11: Maddox and they drafted Ben Roethlisberger, and Tommy Maddocks started

566
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 11: what was at eight games before he was finally removed

567
00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 11: or something happened. Ben Roethlisberger comes in. I think Aaron

568
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 11: Rodgers could be a britt Yeah, this is it, Aaron Rodgers.

569
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 11: You're not being compared to Tommy Maddox's where your life

570
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 11: is gone?

571
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 3: Hey?

572
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 4: I like by the way, I like Tommy Maddox too. Listen,

573
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 4: Tommy Maddicks, del Taco Schottenheimer.

574
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 11: Love Schottenheimer, get out of there. I'm a big la

575
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 11: extreme guy, so I love Tommy Maddox.

576
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 2: All right. Fact or fiction?

577
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: Rank the brown should trade for Kirk Cousins even after

578
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: signing Joe Flacco.

579
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 11: That's a fiction. Why are you training for the same

580
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 11: guy you got Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco took this team

581
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 11: to the playoffs two years ago. I don't even know

582
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 11: why they would be messing around with this. This is

583
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 11: no disrespect. Ian. Don't get it twisted. I like Kirk Cousins.

584
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 11: He's fine, He's a good NFL quarterback. However, if you've

585
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 11: got Joe Flacco, you don't need both of these guys.

586
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 11: You got one. You got Joe Flacco. You made your decision.

587
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 2: You go with him.

588
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 11: So for Kirk Cousins, I think there are other opportunities

589
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 11: for him. And by the way, it's not the worst

590
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 11: thing in the world to be the backup quarterback for

591
00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 11: the Atlanta Falcons. To sit there and be a mentor

592
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 11: for Michael Pennix. The Falcons could be very good this season.

593
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 11: When you look at where the Falcons are drafting, If

594
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:10,360
Speaker 11: they draft correctly, get that defensive end, actually sack the quarterback,

595
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 11: they have a chance to knock off the Tampa Bay

596
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 11: Buccaneers for.

597
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 4: The NFC South, Pennix Pennis looks pretty good. That's gonna

598
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 4: be interesting one to watch, all right. Another one for

599
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 4: your rank. The New York Giants are now set at

600
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 4: quarterback after signing Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston.

601
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 3: Fact or fiction, I would.

602
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 11: Say that's a fact. I really like this tandem. Honestly,

603
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 11: when they signed Jameis Winston, I was very excited about it.

604
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 11: As a matter of fact, I believe I was on

605
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 11: this show already touting that we needed to go out

606
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 11: there and draft the league. Neighbors and all our fantasy drafts,

607
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 11: and then the Giants come in there and they bring

608
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 11: in Russell Wilson. You've already done it again. You've taken

609
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 11: yourself out of the quarterback situation. There's no need to

610
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 11: go after Sador Sanders cam Ward if he happens to fall,

611
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 11: Jackson Dart anything like that. The Giants sitting at number

612
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 11: three are in a very interesting position because they couldn't

613
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 11: end up with a dual Carter Mason Graham makes a

614
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,719
Speaker 11: lot of sense. Or if they want to get weird,

615
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 11: Ashton Genty could be available. I know that you won't

616
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 11: make people forget that you let Saquon Barkley go and

617
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 11: win a Super Bowl with the Eagles, But that would

618
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 11: be a pretty good start.

619
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 2: All right.

620
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: Last one rank fact or fiction. The Vikings are set

621
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: at quarterback with JJ McCarthy for twenty twenty five.

622
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 11: I'm going to say this is fiction and it has

623
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 11: nothing to do with JJ McCarthy.

624
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 9: No.

625
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 11: I think he's good Ian, he's good. I like Del Taco,

626
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 11: I like JJ McCarthy, I like Permantes. Who's the backup

627
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 11: quarterback in Minnesota. It's Brett Rippon. That's the problem. That's

628
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 11: the thing. That's holding me up. I think that you

629
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 11: need a veteran presence behind him just in case something happens,

630
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 11: Just in case there's something that happens with his rehab

631
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 11: or something like that. If you're looking for a guy

632
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 11: who might be available. Dare I say the name Kirk Cousins,

633
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 11: the Kirk Cousins Reunion. You know, I mean Chick fil

634
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 11: A is fine, but you know he's missing Portillo's. Send

635
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 11: him back to Minnesota and let him back up.

636
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy rank, you never disappoint, except when you comment

637
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: on the editing and the wardrobe. On the end, I'm

638
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: saying I can talk with you again. Get out the

639
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: great jacket out of here. We appreciate you being live though.

640
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: That's actually a big part of being on a live show.

641
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: Coming up, they had Connorley versus Carter in a college

642
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: football playoff game. And no, that's not the new name

643
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: of the next Beyonce album. We got Josh Connerley Jr.

644
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: Potential first round pick. He joins the show and also

645
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: talks about being a big man who can carry the

646
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: ball a little bit.

647
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 2: Next on The Insiders.

648
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: Not many more consistent players for Oregon over the past

649
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: couple of seasons than they're left tackle. Josh Connery Junior

650
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,719
Speaker 1: opening holes, blocking for the likes of Bo Nicks and

651
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel, occasionally even catching the ball a little bit.

652
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: One of us several Oregon players to earn honors this

653
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: past season, thirteen days away from finding out where he's

654
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: going to go in the NFL Draft, kind enough to

655
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: take a few minutes with us here on the Insiders,

656
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: Tom Pilisero and Ian Rappaport. Josh, I appreciate you beating

657
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: what is life like right now? No One, sometime here

658
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: in these next couple of weeks you're gonna know where

659
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: across the country you're continuing your football career.

660
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 14: Man, it's a blessing and it's very exciting, and you

661
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 14: know it's everything.

662
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 5: Got a drink for you, know what I mean? So great, Philla.

663
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 4: There's obviously some questions going forward about where you're going

664
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 4: to go how high. Certainly seems like it's going to

665
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 4: be a good process, good outcome for you.

666
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 3: But also what position played?

667
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 4: Left tackle? The last two years you played different positions.

668
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 4: Where do you see yourself? Do you see yourself as

669
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 4: a left tackle only or is the ability to play

670
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 4: right side, something that you take pride in.

671
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean whatever is asked on me. But I

672
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 14: do see myself as a left tackle. But I mean honestly,

673
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 14: anything that coaches won for me, that's what I'm gonna do.

674
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: So now you know you're six four five a's three

675
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: hundred and eleven pounds. I would still say, based on

676
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: a couple of clips I've seen, maybe running back.

677
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 2: Is the position of the future.

678
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: We got a couple of clips them letting you touch

679
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: the ball, Josh breakdown, Josh Connolly Junior the skill position weapon.

680
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 14: I mean tooo, when I get out there and I

681
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 14: have the I have the ability to do anything on

682
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 14: the field. Personally, I can't really throw like that, but

683
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 14: I mean I got the hands.

684
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 5: I could run a little bit.

685
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 14: You know, ball security is always nice, and the hands

686
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 14: are solf, so I feel like I can get it done.

687
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 4: You know, in today's NFL, having offensive lineman be like

688
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 4: actual athletes is kind of a real thing. Being, you know,

689
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 4: ability to get in space and go find a corner.

690
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 4: You have also been a basketball player, you have as

691
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 4: we talked about how to touchdown a two boy conversion.

692
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 4: What kind of an athlete are you? At and has

693
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 4: this been a topic of conversation for you as you

694
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 4: get to know some of these NFL teams.

695
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that's the attraction.

696
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 14: You know, I'm able to get out in space on screens,

697
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 14: I'm able to mirror anybody in pass protection, you know

698
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 14: what I mean. So I feel like that is one

699
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 14: of my advantages when it comes to like just having

700
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 14: a big skill set of you know, a wide variety

701
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 14: of things to do on the field.

702
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: So there have been a bunch of NBA players that

703
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: have come out of your high school there in the

704
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: state of Washington too. I can only imagine when you're

705
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: as big as you are, the first time you're out

706
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: there in like high school, you have to be dwarfing

707
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: the other guys on the basketball for much less the

708
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: football field.

709
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, honestly, there's been some guys that I

710
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 14: played against that actually tower me, but you know, and

711
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 14: size wise, Like I played against guys like Paul ben

712
00:33:54,240 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 14: Carrow mmble. Even I've had a lot of competition with J. T.

713
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 14: Tumlow as well, like we grew up playing against each other.

714
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 14: So I mean there's always been a lot of.

715
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 5: Me time people and me also being tired as well. So, yeah, I.

716
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 3: Want to talk about another one on one matchup.

717
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 4: It's going back to the Big Ten title game, you

718
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 4: versus Abdul Carter. He is a stud. He is going

719
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 4: to go high in this draft. I don't think anyone

720
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 4: doubts the unbelievable talent that he has. You had a

721
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 4: pretty good day against him, really good day against him.

722
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 4: What do you remember from that matchup and what do

723
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 4: you How do you view Carter as a prospect.

724
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean he's a one of a kind in

725
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 14: my opinion, gets off the ball like no other. I

726
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 14: feel like that's where he really separates himself as his

727
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 14: get off and his ability to be really decisive with

728
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 14: his moves and just continues to just thrive.

729
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 5: But I feel like, yeah, I had a solid day.

730
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 14: I mean, obviously there's some things that I do want back,

731
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 14: and I feel like technique could have been cleaner at times.

732
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 14: But overall, I mean, we got the win as a team,

733
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 14: and that's all that really mattered to me.

734
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: It does look like you were given them the business

735
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: a little bit at one point to Abdul Carter. Are

736
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,439
Speaker 1: you a big talker on the field? Do you play

737
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: the intimidation game?

738
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 3: Job.

739
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 14: Sure, Nah, I don't. I'm not a huge talker. I

740
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 14: just go out there and do my thing. That's about it.

741
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 4: Well, you're doing a good job talking to us, sent

742
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 4: and we appreciate that. I want you to talk about

743
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 4: one of your quarterbacks, and actually you've had some really

744
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 4: good quarterbacks Bo Nicks. Dylan Gabriel in this draft. He

745
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 4: is not a big dude. Uh No, he's really fun,

746
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 4: really talented. What kind of player are NFL teams getting

747
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 4: if they take Dylan Gabriel?

748
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 14: I mean you get a person before anything, you know,

749
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 14: someone that came in in the spring or came in

750
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 14: the winner and had everybody gel together by spring, you

751
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 14: know what I mean. Obviously as a team on the field,

752
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 14: we were still coming.

753
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 5: Along, but we all got along. And I feel like

754
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 5: that's where it all starts.

755
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 14: And the brotherhood that he embodied and continued to just

756
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 14: it just started to transcend, you know what I mean,

757
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 14: in terms of his character, and I mean that just

758
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 14: goes to it just goes to show you Like why

759
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 14: it translated on the field during the season is because

760
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 14: of the way that he allowed us to get to

761
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 14: know him and him starting to get to know us.

762
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 14: But I mean, you're getting someone that shoot slangs the rock,

763
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 14: you know, and someone that is a true field general

764
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 14: and knows how to run an offense through and through.

765
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: So thirteen days left until the NFL Draft, What if

766
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: anything do you have left in terms of workouts visits

767
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: still on your plate here between now and draft Day.

768

Speaker 14: Yeah, I have a few visits left and then I

769
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 14: don't have a whole lot of zooms or stuff anymore,

770
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 14: but I have a few visits and just gonna be

771

Speaker 2: Well, we appreciate you being here, Josh.

00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 1: Not gonna have to wait too long on draft day

00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 1: to hear it name cal so you can't wait to

775
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 1: see in the NFL.

776
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 2: Man, appreciate it. Let's do us again.

777
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 4: Hey, I appreciate you guys for having me on the

778
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 4: New Orleans Saints. Now a major question at the quarterback position.

779
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 4: As I reported earlier tonight, Derek Carr is facing a

780
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 4: significant shoulder injury has a decision to make in his

781
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 4: future after consulting with medical personnel and getting several tests,

782
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 4: and there is a possibility that he does not play

783
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 4: in the twenty twenty five season, which, as the Saints

784
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 4: going to this draft gives them even more questions to answer.

785
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 4: For help on that, I'll bring in our good friend

786
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 4: Cam Wolf. Cam thank you for joining us on the Insiders.

787
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 4: As far as the New Orleans Saints go at the

788
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 4: quarterback position, yes, of course they have questions surrounding Derek Carr,

789
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 4: but they also have the number nine pick of this

790
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 4: upcoming NFL Draft.

791
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:56,760
Speaker 3: What are their options there?

792
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 9: Well, first, Ian, huge news from you on the injury

793
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 9: front on Derek Carr, and the Saints, from what I understand,

794
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,760
Speaker 9: have already been doing significant homework on this quarterback class

795
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 9: at number nine, and if it goes how we expect

796
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 9: with cam Ward at one, then maybe Shador Sanders is

797
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 9: a top option for them with that number nine pick.

798
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 3: They've done substantial homework on him.

799
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 9: They sent their quarterback coach, Scott Tolzine to see him

800
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 9: throw at Colorado's pro DAE. I'm told they had scouts,

801
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 9: multiple scouts at Colorado throughout the season to watch him play.

802
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 9: And it's interesting because one stat that'll stand out through

803
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 9: draft the Saints have not drafted a quarterback in the

804
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 9: first or second round in fifty four years, since Archie

805
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 9: Manning in nineteen seventy one. And so it's a team

806
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 9: that just does not invested the resources in it. But

807
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 9: they this feels like the year if any and so

808
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 9: they have a decision. Do they go about and pull

809
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 9: the trigger on a Shador Sanders or a Jackson Dart

810
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 9: or do they wait till twenty twenty six where Arch

811
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 9: Manning may be an option there at quarterback for them

812
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 9: as a team.

813
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 3: That's going to be something they do their homeworking.

814
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 9: They you guys had Sanders on The Insiders yesterday in

815
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 9: a great interview there he talked about changing a franchise.

816
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 9: The Saints are a team that needs some juice, needs

817
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 9: some hope, all things that Sanders brings as accurate quarterbacks,

818
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 9: as a brand, as a person. So maybe it is

819
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 9: perfect timing. And if it's not Sanders, maybe it's Jackson

820
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 9: dark who they also have.

821
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 3: Done homework on.

822
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 9: They were at his pro dae at Ole Miss their

823
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 9: head coach Kellen Moore, their offensive coordinat Doug Nismeyer, and

824
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 9: their quarterback cut Scott Tolzene. They also had Tyler Shuck

825
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,760
Speaker 9: and the Louisville quarterback for a visit, I'm told today.

826
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 9: And so this is a Saints team that is preparing

827
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 9: for the future, and that timeline may have been expedited

828
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 9: even more with the Derek Carr News.

829
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 3: Great analysis.

830
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 2: Cam.

831
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 4: Let's go to the team in your backyard and I

832
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 4: let's say a somewhat familiar name for those who follow

833
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 4: the Miami Dolphins. Mason Taylor, a tight end prospect in

834
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,879
Speaker 4: this upcoming NFL draft. Tell me why you're talking about

835
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 4: him and the Miami Dolphins.

836
00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 3: Yes, it's a cool story.

837
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 9: Mason Taylor's the sun of Hall of Famer Jason Taylor,

838
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 9: and he visited the Dolphins on a visit yesterday.

839
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 3: He's a guy who's one of the top tight ends

840
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 3: in this draft.

841
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 9: From what I've been told, he could go anywhere from

842
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 9: laden the first round to the middle of the second round,

843
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 9: and the Dolphins are a team that has a second

844
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:16,399
Speaker 9: round pick at forty eight.

845
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:17,720
Speaker 3: Maybe he's an option there.

846
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 9: His uncle is also Zach Thomas, who was a legend

847
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 9: for the Dolphins too, and so it would be a

848
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 9: cool story if something like that happened in a reunion.

849
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 9: But he's a guy who's got a lot of interest

850
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 9: from teams throughout this draft process. So I'm told he

851
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 9: has a visit with the Cleveland Browns scheduled for Monday,

852
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 9: and that's a team that also has an early second

853
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 9: round pick. He visited the Seahawks and visit the Charger.

854
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 9: So while those of us at home are feeling a

855
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,879
Speaker 9: little old scene highlights of Jason Taylor and now knowing

856
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 9: his son's coming in, his son's going to be able

857
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 9: to create his own legacy. He's a guy who had

858
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 9: a lot of success as a pass catcher at LSU.

859
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 3: He really wanted to shoot, show that he could block.

860
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 9: He had twenty eight bench press reps at his pro

861
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 9: day ran a four to sixty five. And so he

862
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 9: could be a guy that here's his name called earlier

863
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 9: than people expect. So the Saints also another team that

864
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 9: has interested in Mason Taylor. I'm told maybe he doesn't

865
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 9: go too far as well.

866
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 4: And Mason Taylor would be a big time prospect, regardless

867
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 4: of what his last name is. Certainly adds to the

868
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 4: intrigue cam. Thank you as always for joining us, excellent stuff.
