This seemed impossible 24 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: when Diggs underwent a significant and pretty unusual surgery back 25 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 1: in January on his knee. The Cowboys they might not 26 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: have him till mid season. Instead, he's been working hard, 27 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: making progress. Might've got a pitch count of swords. They'll 28 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: be careful, but Diggs is going to be out there 29 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: against aj Brown, DeVante Smith and the Eagles. It is 30 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: the first time in a quarter century that the Cowboys 31 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: and Eagles met in Week one. If you're thinking back 32 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: to that game in two thousand, was a forty one 33 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: to fourteen Eagles route. Cowboys only counter staame on a 34 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: Randall Cunningham touchdown pass against this old team. Yes, it's 35 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: been a while. Here's what the current quarterbacks have to say. 36 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 4: Or not better yet? 37 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: How about we bring in Brian Baldier to the conversation 38 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: here along with Mike Garrafullo and me.

They're not going to 42 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 2: see just Eagle fans enjoying the banner being unfurled for 43 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 2: being Super Bowl fifty nine champs. No, I mean, first week, 44 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 2: first game of the season is always about Okay, it's 45 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 2: the first time basically any of the starters have been 46 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 2: out there for any time. What's the level of execution? 47 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 2: You know, are they able to move the ball? Ken 48 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 2: teams stop the other teams from moving the ball? What 49 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 2: kind of mistakes are being made? First time you're all 50 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 2: out there. What's the level of execution for the cowboys 51 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 2: of the Eagles week one? After all this preparation where 52 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 2: nobody really plays in the preseason and you know, the 53 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,119 Speaker 2: heck with the scrimmages like it's game day? So can 54 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,679 Speaker 2: you make these kind of throws? Jalen Hurst made right 55 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 2: there to Devontae Smith. Is the tush push going to 56 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 2: be effective? Did stalls have an answer for it? Some 57 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 2: of those basic things that both these teams see back 58 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 2: and forth on their cutups week in week out all 59 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:29,839 Speaker 2: season long. 60 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 5: Paul, I want to see the Eagles offense because you've 61 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 5: got to change an offensive coordinator with Kevin Fittulo and 62 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 5: I have mentioned multiple times on this program over the 63 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 5: last couple of months, Boy, we've been talking a lot 64 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 5: about football without regular season games. 65 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 4: It's so nice that we're going to get back to 66 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 4: hav an actual game. 67 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 6: To talk about. 68 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 5: But we've been talking about how it's the Eagles philosophy 69 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 5: that has been the overriding driver for this offense the 70 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 5: last couple of years. And Kellen Moore came in for 71 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 5: a year and like brought in some fresh ideas and 72 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 5: they've melted with what they do. So they're still gonna 73 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 5: run the football. It's still gonna be a big part 74 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 5: of what they do. But I don't know, I just 75 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 5: I feel like there's an element of an aerial attack 76 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 5: because they know what all these defensive coordinators spent the 77 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 5: entire offseason doing, figuring out a way to slow down 78 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 5: Saquon Barkley in this running game. 79 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 4: Great, while you're doing that, we're. 80 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 5: Gonna figure out a little more of this, a little 81 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 5: more of putting the ball in the air. And what 82 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 5: better way to show it to everybody than in the 83 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 5: opener on Thursday night when everybody's watching and now, all 84 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 5: of a sudden, you got a game plan for that 85 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 5: throughout the season. So I just I feel like we're 86 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 5: gonna see Jalen Hurts put the ball in the air 87 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 5: plenty of times tomorrow night as a message to the 88 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 5: rest of the league that, yeah, we ran the ball 89 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 5: great last year. 90 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 4: We can also do a little This. 91 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: One of the best days on the entire calendar when 92 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: we can finally stop talking about what might happen and 93 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: what things might look like and start actually having a 94 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: game two breakdown. Balding more from you in a bit 95 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 1: stick around, Mike, you as well. 96 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 4: For now, Ian. 97 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 7: Green Bay Pack have a game that they're going to 98 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 7: break down, and that guy right there, Micah pars is 99 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 7: expected to be a participant, which, of course you'd say. 100 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 7: Packers trated two first round picks and a player and 101 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 7: paid him forty seven million dollars a year. 102 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 8: Of course he's going to play. 103 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 6: Had a little bit of a back injury. 104 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 7: We discussed it a facet joint spray, in which we 105 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 7: all learn what that is. Matt Lafour, his head coach, 106 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 7: for the first time since the trade, addressed Parsons back. 107 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 9: We'll see, I mean, we're still he's doing everything in 108 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 9: his power. 109 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 10: He's rehabbing hard. 110 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 9: You know, we've got to get through a couple of 111 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 9: practices to see how he responds, to see how he does, 112 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 9: but certainly hopeful. 113 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 11: You know who else is also going to play this weekend. 114 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 11: Terry mcclaurin, the wide receiver for the Commanders. He was 115 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 11: a full go at today's practice in preparation for their 116 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 11: opener against the Giants on Sunday. Coach Stan Quinn said 117 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 11: he's doing really strong. That's how Quinn said it. That 118 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 11: means he's getting his normal amount of practice. McLaurin, for 119 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 11: his part, says he feels great, he is ready to go. 120 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 11: He would not say if he feels like he needs 121 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 11: to be on a pitch count, but he did say 122 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 11: that he plans to be in communication with the coaches 123 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 11: during the weekend. 124 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 3: To let them know how he is feeling. But he 125 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 3: did say very. 126 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 11: Much looking forward to another season with Jaden Daniels and 127 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 11: Ian Who can. 128 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 8: Blame him, Yeah, no doubt about it. 129 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 7: Meanwhile, for the Baltimore Ravens, they are not expected to 130 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 7: have Isaiah likely their standout tight end, for the opener 131 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 7: against the Buffalo Bills, and may not have him for 132 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 7: the week after either remember he's dealing with the broken 133 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 7: foot late late July brokeer his foot usually six seven, 134 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 7: maybe eight week injury. John Harbaugh is saying today maybe 135 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 7: he was ahead of schedule, but either way not expected 136 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 7: to be on the field for the opener. 137 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 8: But don't worry. 138 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 7: They still have Mark Andrews, who is still an excellent 139 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 7: height end judy. 140 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 3: All Right, some rough injury news for the Jets today. 141 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 11: Guard Elijah Vera Tucker, who is arguably their best offensive lineman, 142 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 11: is fear to have suffered a significant triceps injury during 143 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 11: practice earlier this week. If he misses significant time, and 144 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 11: that's certainly the expectation right now, big blow to the Jets. 145 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 11: They want to be a physical running team. It's also 146 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 11: a blow to Vera Tucker, who's had a lot of 147 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 11: injuries during his career. He's playing on the fifth year 148 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 11: of his rookie contract. 149 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 3: Very tough timing for. 150 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 11: Him on a personal level, and of course, four days 151 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 11: before the opener against the Steelers, the Jets now have 152 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 11: to shuffle their offensive line. 153 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 3: The Jets did not practice today. 154 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 11: But on the injury report they put out this afternoon, 155 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 11: quarterback Sauce Gardner was listed as a projected limited participant. 156 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 3: With a fibula injury. 157 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 11: He has been dealing with calf swordness this summer. The 158 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 11: Jets are back on the field tomorrow in preparation for 159 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 11: their opener against this stealer Sunday, so we should get 160 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 11: a better idea of Sauce's condition then Mike, keep it. 161 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 5: New New Jersey, the Jets of the Giants. You talked 162 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 5: about the Jets, I talked about the Giants screwed that 163 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,119 Speaker 5: one up. Malik Neighbors, not listed on the injury report, 164 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 5: has had tow and back issues in camp that he's 165 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 5: been dealing with. 166 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 4: It does not mean that he's. 167 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 5: Magically one hundred percent healthy. Just because he's not on 168 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 5: the injury report doesn't mean that he's not hurt. So 169 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 5: this is something that's a great sign for the Giants 170 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 5: that he's not on there. He is expected to play. 171 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 5: Will he be at one hundred percent? Giants are hopeful 172 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 5: that's gonna be the case. Better hope so can need 173 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 5: him for Russ to throw to. 174 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: Tom Lions head in.

Tough one, but a lot 238 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 2: of changes offensive coordinator, offense line, coach, personnel, Like how 239 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 2: quickly do you begin to assimilate new teammates, new system, 240 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 2: new way of doing things to get ready for the 241 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 2: season right now? 242 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 16: Yeah, I think you got to have that next game 243 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 16: mentality when it's there in the season. 244 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 15: But you know, after the season, you're really. 245 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 16: Looking at yourself scout to see what you can do better, 246 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 16: some pieces you can add to see where you could improve, 247 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 16: or you know, you can get some more debt. So 248 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 16: I think we've done that this year and I'm happy 249 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 16: where we're at. We had a good camp and you know, 250 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 16: brought in some good guys to fit our scheme, so 251 00:11:58,240 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 16: I'm excited. 252 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 11: One of the changes is you have a new offensive coordinator, 253 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 11: Nick Kelly, and as part of that, You've talked about 254 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 11: this a little bit in the summer. You're expected to 255 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 11: have more ownership of the offense, more control of the offense. 256 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 3: I know you've had that in college. 257 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 11: You actually had it in high school too, But how 258 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 11: what does that mean to you? How does your day 259 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 11: and your performance change when you have a little bit 260 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 11: more control of the offense. 261 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 16: It doesn't really change much. I mean, I'm a really 262 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 16: a guy who loves prepared. I'm always prepared, I believe 263 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 16: as I even prepared to the point where I don't 264 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 16: think I'm prepare enough. And I'm always looking back on 265 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 16: how I can look at this, and so I've been 266 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 16: that way since I've been a kid. But also I 267 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 16: don't know, I've always tried to know where I could 268 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 16: be technically blitched, or the coverage can change so or 269 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 16: the players I can try to flip it to even 270 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 16: when we weren't really doing that. So I mean, it 271 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 16: doesn't really change as much I wouldn't think, But it 272 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 16: doesn't really intriguing me that much. I think it's it's 273 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 16: more important for y'all, but it's kind of normal to. 274 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 2: Me, you know, CJ. You open up obviously with the 275 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 2: Rams this weekend. You're a so cow kid. You're going 276 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 2: back to southern California. But the Rams do have a 277 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 2: talented team. I know you've been busy watching them and 278 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 2: watching that defensive front. Do they look like a special 279 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 2: group to you right now? CJ? Do you have to 280 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 2: treat them like that? Jared Vers and some of the 281 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 2: guys that we have seen really developed quickly in that 282 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 2: defensive front. 283 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 16: Yeah, I do. I believe that. I think they have 284 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 16: a great defensive front. You know, the front seven is great. 285 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 16: I think their back end is really good. They play together, 286 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 16: you know, they swam, they tackle, they they try to 287 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 16: you know, have you hold the ball for a little 288 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 16: longer just so the d lion can get home. 289 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 15: So they do a good job of rushing that coverage. 290 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 15: Being together. 291 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 16: So you know, every every game is really harder than 292 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 16: every game to prepare to, you know, to your best 293 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 16: ability to you know, give your chance a team to win. 294 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 16: So this definitely, you know arrange true in this in 295 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,319 Speaker 16: this against his opponent on away game, first game of 296 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 16: the year, the emotion is going to be high, the 297 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 16: pace is going to be fast, and I'm excited. 298 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 10: Man. 299 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 16: I think, you know, we're prepared. I think they're getting 300 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 16: prepared too. So it's gonna be good on good, and 301 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 16: it's gonna be a battle. 302 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 11: Obviously, sacks were an issue last season. There was some 303 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 11: rejiggering of the offensive line in Houston. Where do you 304 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 11: think that offensive line? And you are you on the 305 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 11: same page now and how comfortable are you that the 306 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 11: sacks are going to be minimized, especially as you said, 307 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 11: a week one against a formidable defensive line. 308 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 16: I would say, yes, I have faith in my guys. 309 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 16: I always try to you know, I think I'm on 310 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 16: the same page with him constantly. I think, you know, 311 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 16: the scheme definitely helps him out more so that's good. 312 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 16: And yeah, I mean I always have faith in my guys, 313 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 16: and I'm not a negative person and I don't try 314 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 16: to lead with negativity and try to uplift those guys. 315 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 16: And yeah, it's part of my job too to get 316 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 16: the ball out and to be smart Marie. So you know, 317 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 16: we don't, you know, hold the ball so Delon can 318 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 16: get home. So yeah, it's just like his third job 319 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 16: it's also mind. So I have to hold myself to 320 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 16: a better standard and be better myself. 321 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 2: CJ. One of the new guys in your program is 322 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 2: a guy that we all have the most amount of 323 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 2: respect for, Nick Chubb as a person, a man, a player. 324 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 2: He's in a new spot right now, and we don't 325 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 2: really know what Nick Chubb is right now. Is he 326 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 2: a guy that basically was the best running back in 327 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 2: football for about a five year stretch? What have you 328 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 2: seen from Nick this summer to the Houston Texan fans 329 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 2: and your fan base out there that says Nick Chubb 330 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 2: is this is the real deal? Like he's back. 331 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 16: I would just say you can come to the game 332 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 16: and watch.

Brian Balding 451 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 5: or Steve Weiss here to talk about the rematch? Steve, 452 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 5: what about the importance of this game here for Baltimore 453 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 5: again knowing how close that was and talking about getting 454 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 5: over the hump in the playoffs. 455 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 4: I know it's Week one, but does that stuff matter? 456 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 13: Yes, it does, and it comes down to potential playoff 457 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 13: tie breakers. Look, the Ravens finished last season twelve and five, 458 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 13: the Bills thirteen and four. 459 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 4: And Baltimore beat Buffalo in the. 460 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 13: Regular season, so they had the head to head tiebreaker. 461 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 13: But what hurt Baltimore last year, we're starting the season 462 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 13: zero and two and that's where their defense let it down. 463 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 13: Their defense in the first half of the season last 464 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 13: year was not very good. They made some changes and 465 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 13: got better, but then the playoff game against Buffalo, the 466 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 13: ground defense got gashed. And Baldy, you and I were 467 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 13: training camp there together. We know this has been an 468 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 13: emphasis for the Ravens and getting that run defense tightened up, 469 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 13: because you know, Josh Allen is the ultimate X factor, 470 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 13: but they can't let him leak out. They've got to 471 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 13: be disciplined to make sure James Cook doesn't break a 472 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 13: tackle and leak out. And that's going to be part 473 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 13: of what they have to do. Because Baltimore knows that 474 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 13: they can beat the Bills, they just don't want to 475 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 13: have to play them in Buffalo in the playoffs like 476 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 13: they did last year, which is why winning a game 477 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 13: like this could be important when it comes to deciding 478 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 13: homefield advantage in the postseason. 479 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, Steve, They're all important. 480 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 10: Yeah. 481 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 2: The first year, everybody wants to get off to a 482 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 2: good start, and you know, I just think that what 483 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 2: I want to look for is we have seen Lamar 484 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 2: Jackson in this offense with his offensive coordinator improve every 485 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 2: year and last year, I mean, he statistically should have 486 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 2: been the MVP. No. No offense to Josh, but the 487 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 2: stats of throwing forty one touchdowns and four receptions and 488 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 2: running for almost a thousand yards was unheard of. But 489 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 2: he keeps getting better. And now you add Nuke to 490 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 2: this offense. Like what is Buffalo going to do against 491 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 2: the Ravens offense right now? And all of the weapons 492 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 2: including Derrick Henry and you know, and Lamar and everybody 493 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 2: right now, healthy Mark Andrews and his receiving corps. They've 494 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 2: got weapons everywhere, They've got injuries in the secondary to 495 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 2: Buffalo to start the season right here, can they affect 496 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 2: Lamar and get him off the field on third downs? 497 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 2: Because that, to me is going to be the difference 498 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 2: in his game, is can they get Lamar off the field? 499 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 2: Because this offense looks almost unstoppable right now. 500 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, this is going to be a fascinating one. And 501 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 5: you know what it means to Baltimore. Steve laid it 502 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 5: out for you, and you know what it means to 503 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 5: Josh Allen and the Bills to get off to a 504 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,679 Speaker 5: fast start as well. Remember Isaiah Likely who caught that 505 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 5: touchdown that I was talking about in the playoffs, not 506 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 5: expected to play according to our Ian Rappaport. 507 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 4: Speaking of Ian Rappaport, Ian, what. 508 00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 2: A great transition to me. 509 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 7: Let's talk about Jaguars Panthers for a week one. Actually 510 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 7: a sneaky, really good game for two teams who are 511 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 7: trying to prove they are much more for real this 512 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 7: year than they were last year. Both these teams reloaded 513 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 7: in the offseason, and the Jaguars added that guy right there, 514 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 7: Travis Hunter, really one of the biggest curiosity to see 515 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 7: of the season, starting wide receiver, backup corner. 516 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 4: All on the depth chart. 517 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 7: Gotta can't wait till the season starts so we could 518 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 7: stop talking about depth charts. Speaking of good things, Welcome 519 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 7: to good coverage presented by Progressive Insurance. Our good friend 520 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 7: Bucky Brooks is our Jaguars expert. Bucky, take me through 521 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,479 Speaker 7: what is going to happen with Travis huntrew by the way, 522 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 7: he has been known to do some. 523 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 6: Good coverage himself. 524 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 7: Tell me what the plan for this electric talent is 525 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 7: for Jacksonville. 526 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 14: Everyone has talked about Travis hunder being a two way star, 527 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 14: but I want to tell you he's going to be 528 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 14: a one and a half way player when it comes 529 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 14: down to it. I mean he's going to start four 530 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 14: time on the offense and then be a rotational player 531 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 14: on defense. 532 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 3: He's listed as their knickelback and he will play nickel situations. 533 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 14: But really on defense, he's a get off the field player, 534 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,439 Speaker 14: meaning when there are these serious situations where you need 535 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 14: to get off the field is predominantly a passing situation, 536 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 14: he will be on the field. And because the Jaguars 537 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 14: planning to play so much zone coverage, it plays to 538 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 14: his strengths as a vision and break defended meaning Seaball 539 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 14: get ball, utilize his ball skills, his length and athleticism 540 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 14: to make plays third down, red zone, two minute, end 541 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 14: of game situation. So don't expect him to be on 542 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 14: the field for every snap of the game, but when 543 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 14: it's a critical situation on offense or defense, number twelve 544 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 14: will be on the field. 545 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 8: Man, the ultimate matchup player. 546 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 7: Really have not seen one like this, especially on both 547 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 7: sides of the ball, in forever, maybe ever. Bucky, Thank 548 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,640 Speaker 7: you very much, great stuff. Can I wait to see 549 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 7: the Travis Hunter experience for the Jacksonville Jaguars also can't 550 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 7: wait to see the Seahawks experience with our good friend, 551 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,479 Speaker 7: the number one fan of the Insiders, so much till 552 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 7: he calls us the Outsiders.

And here's another one, Bucks Falcons 829 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 11: they face off in Week one, a game that could 830 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,279 Speaker 11: certainly well decide the NFC South when we get to 831 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 11: that point in late December. There are eight Week one 832 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 11: division games. I love how they did this this year. 833 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 11: Of course, Cowboys Eagles kicks the entire season off tomorrow, 834 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 11: Chiefs Chargers on Friday, and look at all those games 835 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 11: on Sunday and even on Monday to wrap up the 836 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 11: first weekend of the season of Vikings Bears. To discuss it, 837 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 11: let's bring back our guys, Steve Reisch and Bucky Brooks. 838 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 11: All right, Steve, you and I both know this. The 839 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 11: Falcons beat the Bucks twice last season and still did 840 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 11: not win the Division. 841 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:20,760 Speaker 3: The Bucks won the division. 842 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,279 Speaker 11: What kind of significance do these two teams playing in 843 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:24,960 Speaker 11: Week one have. 844 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,160 Speaker 13: Oh well, Judy kirk Cousins is not walking through that door. 845 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 4: Remember he was the quarterback with both of. 846 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,280 Speaker 6: Those victories, and he threw eight touchdowns. 847 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 2: He gashed the Buccaneers. 848 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 13: But now it's the Michael Pennocks era and that's what 849 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 13: the Falcons are hope changes. You know, offensively, Pennis we 850 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 13: started three games last year, but this is assence, is 851 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 13: his rookie season, and that's the bigger issue. 852 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:45,799 Speaker 10: We know, the. 853 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,400 Speaker 6: Penis in this offense a lot of talent. 854 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:47,840 Speaker 10: They've got a. 855 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,480 Speaker 13: Lot of big things that they're hoping to get out 856 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,880 Speaker 13: of Drake London and Vijon Robinson and all those players. 857 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,840 Speaker 13: But the issue is more so on defense because, like 858 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 13: you mentioned, the Falcons beat the Buccaneers twice, they only 859 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,360 Speaker 13: won six other games last year because their defense was 860 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 13: so leaky. 861 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 4: And that's where they have a lot of young players. 862 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 13: They've got the two defensive ends that they got in 863 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 13: the draft, right Jalen Walker and James Pierce. They have 864 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,359 Speaker 13: two rookie defensive backs that also will be starting. So 865 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 13: that's where they've got a lot of things to fix, 866 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 13: and even if they beat the Buccaneers, this is something 867 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,759 Speaker 13: they've got to continue throughout the season if they want 868 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,279 Speaker 13: to knock the Kings of the NFC South off the 869 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:25,879 Speaker 13: mountain top. 870 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,840 Speaker 11: All right, Becky, yet another divisional matchup Packers Lions and 871 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:32,720 Speaker 11: have seen North. 872 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 3: What are you going to be watching for in that game? 873 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,319 Speaker 14: Look, I'm looking to see if Michael Parsons is going 874 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 14: to show up and play for the green Bay Packers. 875 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,280 Speaker 14: When I think about the Packers and where the Packers 876 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 14: want to be, and they want to live up to 877 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,959 Speaker 14: their Moniker title town and so the move to bring 878 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 14: Michael Parsons over brings them one step closer to accomplishing 879 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 14: that goal. I have seen a lot of great players 880 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 14: come through Green Bay, but Michael Parsons has an opportunity 881 00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,400 Speaker 14: to be the next legendary. 882 00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:59,520 Speaker 2: Player to wear the Green and gol. 883 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,319 Speaker 14: To see how Jeff Hafley's going to utilize him, how 884 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 14: they're going to rush him off the edge, what kind 885 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 14: of chaos and havoc he can wreak, and then will 886 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 14: the secondary benefit from the increased pressure. 887 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:11,840 Speaker 4: This is a team that was. 888 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 14: At the top of the charte when it comes to turnovers. 889 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 14: Tips and overthrows are derived from pressure. Can Michael Parsons 890 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 14: number one create more pressure and more turnover opportunities for 891 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 14: a seaball gearball defense that lives to take the ball away. 892 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 3: I cannot wait to watch that game. 893 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 11: I think there's going to be a lot of eyeballs 894 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 11: on the Green Bay Packers this weekend.
