1
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: A little bit of drink May means a lot more.

2
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: Talk on Boston Sports Radio today about the possibility the

3
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: rookie could have earned the starting job. We're gonna break

4
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: down May's performance. We know the Dak Prescott's going to

5
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: be the Cowboys starting quarterback. He's been in camp even

6
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: without a new contract. What he's saying about it now

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: in Miami, the Dolphins quarterback, of course, already got paid.

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: Nobody happier about that than running back where he moster.

9
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: But how is that my Miami offense looking lest most himself?

10
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: When he joins this show in just a little bit,

11
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: it's a Friday night edition Welcome Inside with the Insiders,

12
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: presented by Harbor Freight alongside Judy Bautista. I am Tom Pelisera.

13
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: We will get to all of those stories, and Judy

14
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: is very excited about this. We will cast the Madden

15
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: movie all the big spots if they, you know, decide

16
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: to pivot away from the whole Nicholas Cage thing. But

17
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: let's start out, Judy, because we can with some actual football.

18
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: It's the Eagles, It's the Patriots last night. It's that guy,

19
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: Drake May, who certainly made the most of his opportunity.

20
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: But first we got some Jacoby Brissette. Patriots were roaring

21
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: right down the field. When bresset a little late across

22
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: the field, that's gonna be an interception for Avonte Maddox,

23
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: who rumbles forty seven yards on that one. Jared Mayo

24
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: drop Mayo rather yeh left than pleased with the start

25
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: for his team. Jacoby Brissett maybe try that. No, I

26
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna be doing that, even with the

27
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: new dynamic kickoff and incomes. Drake may first passes a

28
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: twelve yard completion to Javon Baker. They would drive for

29
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: a field goal on that possession. The next time the

30
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: Patriots got the ball, it's may again around the right side,

31
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: takes the handoff, takes it in himself. Patriots lead ten

32
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: to three. Drake could have celebrate that a little more,

33
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 1: couldn't he touchdown drive?

34
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 2: Jacoby just is saying, and the mccaughdy twins that you

35
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: got to get a better celebration when you go into.

36
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 3: The end zone a touchdown.

37
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really plan on Russian when I probably should

38
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 2: have thought of one. Usually I'm thinking cold to the

39
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: finger roll. But I'm just happy to get in the

40
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: end zone, happy to score points. I think, uh, yeah,

41
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 2: it's funny get out there, and I'm glad the weather

42
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 2: hold held off. And uh and that thought the guys

43
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 2: did a good job. I thought it before they fought hard.

44
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 4: Do you see this as being a competition between the

45
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 4: two of them right now as to.

46
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 5: Who's going to be, you know, the starting quarterback against Cincinnati?

47
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 6: I do you know?

48
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 7: We have three more days of training camp practices and

49
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 7: it's our job as coaches to evaluate, and the competition

50
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 7: isn't over. They're still going to go out there and

51
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 7: they have to show not only there you know, themselves

52
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 7: and the coaches, but also their teammates. So it's definitely

53
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 7: still a competition.

54
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: Certainly a big night for Drake may You can look

55
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: at the comparison here. Of course, it's pre season. You're

56
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 1: playing with and against different players. Never want to see

57
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: the old blue Tarski zero point zero passery for Jacobe Brissett.

58
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: We'll see how they handled the third preseason game. But

59
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: as you heard Rod Mayo say, it is still a competition,

60
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: which Juny, going all the way back to the draft

61
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: when you had twelve picks, six quarterbacks, ticket we all

62
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: looked at Drake May and said, you know, in all likelihood,

63
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: this is the one guy who probably needs to sit

64
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: the most. He needs a year. He's coming out of

65
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: that dumb down offense at North Carolina. Just let him

66
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: sit percent the perfect guy. But we tend to overreact,

67
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: especially at a market like Boston.

68
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 6: Here.

69
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: What did you make a Drake May's performance and where

70
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: the competition stands now?

71
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 8: Well, his performance was certainly good, and I think it

72
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 8: gives Patriots fans hope for the future. Last week was

73
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 8: rough for the Patriots. They did not look good in

74
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 8: the joint practice with the Eagles, and then they traded

75
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 8: their best player in Matthew Judhon, which I think was

76
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 8: as clear a signal as any that this is going

77
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 8: to be a rebuilding season. So what Drake May did

78
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 8: last night, and the stats not really reflective of how

79
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,839
Speaker 8: good he looked, quite frankly, but what he did last

80
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 8: night was give you some hope for future days to

81
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 8: come right. He used his legs. He didn't just run

82
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 8: in for the touchdown, but he was scrambling around, moving

83
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 8: away from pressure. He showed off the arm. His best

84
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 8: play was actually, I think an incomplete pass deep down

85
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 8: the middle that Jabon Baker had on his hands and

86
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 8: just couldn't hold onto. But that's the one that really

87
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 8: got the fans excited. So I think this was encouraging.

88
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 8: Did he win the job? I don't think so. I

89
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 8: still would be really surprised if they go into the

90
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 8: season and Jacoby pres said it's not the starting quarterback.

91
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 8: Don't forget this is a decision about organizational philosophy. What

92
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 8: is the best way to develop a young quarterback. Is

93
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 8: it throw him in there and let him get his

94
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 8: lumps right out of the gate, or is it keep

95
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 8: him on the bench for a little while and let

96
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 8: him learn and then maybe go to him. We'll see,

97
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 8: but certainly he closed the gap with this performance, and

98
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 8: I think we're very curious now to see Rod Mayo handles.

99
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 8: The third preseason game with both quarterbacks, it was a.

100
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: Fun Joe Milton Mania week. Judy, I think coming off

101
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: of that initial preseason game, the plan was always though

102
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: git Drake may some more run here in the second Sason. Again,

103
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: the most encouraging thing I think to me is when

104
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: you talk about Drake may he has all the athletic

105
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: ability and you could see that come out, and also

106
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: having a little bit of adversity. Everybody I talked to

107
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: in the pre draft process said one thing I like

108
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: about Drake May was everybody knows he came up in

109
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: a very athletic family. He had the older brothers. He's

110
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: used to kind of getting the crap kicked out of

111
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: him and then saying, Okay, I want right back in.

112
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: And you saw him come out and play some pretty

113
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: good football last night. And it is just getting started

114
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: here on NFL Network in the second fall preseason week,

115
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: it's a quadruple header on Saturday. We got Bengals Bears,

116
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: we got Lions, Chiefs, we got bill Steelers, Cowboys, Raiders, Packers, Broncos.

117
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: In three of those games, the late three, you've got

118
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: a legit quarterback competition to sort out. You do not

119
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: have one for the Cincinnati Bengals. Joe Burrow is back

120
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: from that wrist injury that he had back in last

121
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: season that ended his season. As you see right there,

122
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: the Bengals going to open in orange, going with the

123
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: all orange uniforms for their season opener. There's the guy

124
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: I was talking about, Joe Burrow, who declared himself ready

125
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: to roll for Week one against the Patriots last November.

126
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: He suffered that season ending risk injury. It said early

127
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: in camp it still wasn't fully natural. When I went

128
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: through Cincinnati to everyone said, he has looked really good

129
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: throwing the football on the field. Matthew Stafford, another veteran quarterback,

130
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: has been off the field recently for the Rams, dealing

131
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: with a little bit of a hamstring. Sean McVay has

132
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: kind of pumped the brakes downplayed the significance of the

133
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: hamstring issue. Matthew Stafford quite frankly, he's always playing through

134
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: like seven different things. A hamstring for a guy who's

135
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: not exactly a running quarterback, not that big of a deal.

136
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: Never want to see soft tissue stuff in August. But

137
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: no reason to sound the alarms just yet. Meanwhile, for

138
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: the Chargers, justin Herbert, now this is file footage here.

139
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: He's not quite doing all this just yet. But he

140
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: is out of the walking boot, which is a good

141
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: sign for the continuation of his progress moving forward. That

142
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: was what Jim Harbaugh said. He is on track. He's

143
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: going to be in that boot for two weeks. He

144
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: is now out of the boot and is still expected

145
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: to be back for week one. We still wait, white

146
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: smoke from Santa Clara. Where the forty nine ers are.

147
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. About six months into the standoff now

148
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: with Brandon Ayuk, about two weeks into this being at

149
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: a fever pitch, no finality yet. As Mike Grifolo has

150
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: reported on this show, they have been very close on

151
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: virtually every metric. Ayuk was on the field wearing team

152
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: gear this week. John Lynch the GM still hoping this

153
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: thing gets done sooner than later.

154
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 5: No, there's nothing blood. I mean, negotiations can get heated.

155
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 5: I think it's his first time going through that, But

156
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 5: no bad blood. I mean, if you know people that

157
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 5: are here, see Brandon out here, there's love, a lot

158
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 5: of love and respect for the relationship we've had and

159
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 5: continue to have and hopefully we'll have into the future.

160
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: That's me exhausting, I would think, Judy at this point,

161
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: because there's only so many ways you can say. Yeah,

162
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: we're trying. We've offered a lot of money, he wants

163
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: a little bit more money. We're trying to make this

164
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: thing come together. Here, there's still the possibility. Listen, We've

165
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: seen a lot of twists and turns throughout the course

166
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: of this saga. The trade possibility is still out there.

167
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: But as we've said over and over on this show

168
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: for the past week, here, really the forty nine ers

169
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 1: focus has been trying to get a deal done. They

170
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: still just aren't there yet.

171
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 8: This, though, was the most optimistic I think the Niners

172
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,239
Speaker 8: have sounded, at least in public, because there was absolutely

173
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 8: no mention here of the possibility of a trade. It's

174
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 8: like that never even happened, hasn't even been in consideration.

175
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 8: This was this sounded like a general manager who is

176
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 8: in any other contract negotiation, big contract negotiation with a

177
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 8: star player, like, oh, we're it's taken a long time,

178
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 8: and we're really trying, and you know, we really want

179
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 8: to get this done. But no mention about the idea

180
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 8: that maybe he wants to move on. And of course

181
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 8: that brings us back to the question of there was

182
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 8: a trade request and the Steelers may be interested in

183
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 8: maybe other teams too, But as Brendan, are you really

184
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 8: interested in moving on? It sure doesn't sound that way

185
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 8: from what John Lynch said, and it absolutely does not

186
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 8: sound like the forty nine Ers are prepared to move

187
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 8: on either.

188
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: As Brandon Ayuk responded on Instagram comment one week to

189
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: goo tonight. There's two options. He's still waiting for the

190
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: forty nine ers and himself, of course, who pick which one?

191
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: That is going to be some good news. Meanwhile, for

192
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, Christian McCaffrey spot today working out

193
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: individually on the side again. File footage right here of

194
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. But he is continuing to make progress back.

195
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: He had suffered a calf strain about a week and

196
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: a half ago. They're just going easy on him. No

197
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: reason to panic just yet. I know fancy drafts are

198
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 1: coming up, but everything seems to continue to be trending

199
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: toward good things for Christian McCaffrey. Rahim Moster is full

200
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: go after battling his own injuries down the stretch last season.

201
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: How's he feeling and how is that Dolphin's offense coming

202
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: together with all that speed for twenty twenty four? Let's

203
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: ask him. Raien Moster on The Insiders next, presented by

204
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: Harbor Freight.

205
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 3: People work for the emotion they handle ball.

206
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: To Mostert, there's a lot in a touchdown, his nineteenth

207
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: touchdown of the year, breaking the team record held by

208
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: Rock Clayton.

209
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 3: Previously were touched on number twenty sweeping for the luck.

210
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 6: He's got it the.

211
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: Lock into the D zone.

212
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 6: The Gopens are.

213
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: Running away with his name earlier New York Jets Joe.

214
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 3: That is twenty of That sounded wrong.

215
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 8: Welcome back to the Insiders, presented by Harper Freight. That

216
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 8: was Raheemohstert breaking the touchdown record for the Miami Dolphins.

217
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 8: Let's look at these Madden speed ratings. This is nuts

218
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 8: for the Miami Dolphins. Tyreek Kill ninety nine, Jaalen Waddle

219
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 8: ninety seven. Raheem Moster comes in at ninety five. He's

220
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 8: the fourth fastest guy on the team. I bet he's

221
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 8: going to take exception to that. And then look at this.

222
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 8: This is what he tweeted or x whatever we're calling

223
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 8: it now. Can't believe it's year ten. And if it's

224
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 8: year ten, that has to mean Raheem Mostert, it's been

225
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 8: a long time since you were in college. It's been

226
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 8: a long time since all of us were in college.

227
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 8: But it's College Colors Day and we're going to talk

228
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 8: about that. You've got the Purdue boiler Makers sweatshirt on.

229
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 8: I'm wearing them by any Hurricanes cam Wolf. My colleague

230
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 8: is wearing Houston I like that sweatshirt. Good color, raheem.

231
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 8: Thanks for joining us talk to us about why you're

232
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 8: into College Colors Day.

233
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, first and foremost, thank you guys for having me.

234
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 4: You know, it's it's definitely an unbelievable journey that I've

235
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 4: had thus far, being in year ten and College Colors Day.

236
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm always reving perdue, even in the locker.

237
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 4: Room, you know, against other fellow fellow you know, teammates.

238
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 4: You know, we're always chatting and talking about the upcoming

239
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 4: games for college season. And what better way than to

240
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 4: show your sphere right with your college colors inside the

241
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 4: locker room and plus at home.

242
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: Raheem.

243
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 9: I love that because I've been in the locker room

244
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 9: when some of those debates have come on. Take us

245
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 9: into your most intense teammate college rivalry.

246
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 3: What does that look like?

247
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know it's every year, you know, there's always

248
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:06,359
Speaker 4: that that one game right that separates your your university

249
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 4: from your your teammates university. And for me specifically, it's

250
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 4: the it's the last game of the season against the

251
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 4: I believe their their name is Indiana or something like that.

252
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 4: I don't really pay too much. Their little brothers anyway

253
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 4: down the street. So you know, we we we we

254
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 4: beat up on them all the time. But yeah, you know,

255
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 4: it's just always it's always fun when you got those

256
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 4: conversations going inside the locker room and you're able to

257
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 4: talk to your teammates about you know, I even talked

258
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 4: to Javon already.

259
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 3: I said, Hey, what are you trying to do for

260
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 3: this game? You want you want to put you know,

261
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 3: shirts on or whatever, because we're playing against.

262
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 4: Oregon this year, so you know, they moved over to

263
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 4: the Big Ten, which is which is it's amazing.

264
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 3: It's amazing that that's happening. Those type of moves happen.

265
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 4: So I'm excited about this season and I'm ready to

266
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 4: rock these colors.

267
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 8: Brahim, I want you to take us inside the running

268
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 8: backs room in Miami because when some people think about

269
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 8: the Dolphins offense, you think about the dynamic passing game,

270
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 8: but the running game was sixth in the league in rushing.

271
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 8: An incredibly dynamic group. What are the goals when you

272
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 8: all look ahead to the twenty twenty four season, what

273
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 8: are the goals for this group?

274
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know you mentioned it. We were sixth in

275
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 4: the league, right We want to be number one. That's

276
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 4: our main goal, and the only way to do that

277
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 4: is everybody has to be on the same page.

278
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 3: We did an unbelievable job.

279
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 4: We made a lead from year one to year two,

280
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 4: and now you know, going into year three in this offense,

281
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 4: we got to make it make it even even much

282
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 4: more better. So we're just excited about the opportunity. You know,

283
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 4: we got the old lineman, they're they're ready to go.

284
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 4: We're ready to just put on a show for everyone

285
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 4: like we've been doing these past couple of years. And

286
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 4: and Scott's the limiting you know, But honestly, at the

287
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 4: running back position, we're just going to do our due

288
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 4: diligence and try to make the run game that much

289
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 4: more explosive, just like it is in the past game.

290
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 9: Rahem, let's talk about you year ten. You're coming off

291
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 9: a twenty one touchdown year ball in. But we're getting

292
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 9: ready for fantasy drafts and I see you still going

293
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 9: eighth round, ninth round, tenth round for fantasy people who

294
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 9: are trying to figure out why they would be smart

295
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 9: to draft for Hiem Mosher this year.

296
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 3: What would you tell them?

297
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 4: You know, I don't know why they always look at

298
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 4: this like age number, like there's an age discrepancy right

299
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 4: from you know, a twenty one year old to a

300
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 4: thirty two year old. I'm just the outlier. That's all

301
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 4: I can tell you. If twenty one touchdowns they can

302
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 4: get you hyped up. I don't know what to tell you,

303
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 4: but you know, I'm just gonna do what I can

304
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 4: do on the field, and you know I'm gonna let

305
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 4: statistics take over itself.

306
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 6: Bring me.

307
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 8: I just want to ask you about the offense as

308
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 8: a whole, because you haven't had as a unit a

309
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 8: whole lot of work altogether. O'Dell obviously has in practice.

310
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 8: Now you've got some injuries on the offensive line, Waddle's

311
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 8: missed a few practices. Give us your assessment of where

312
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 8: the offense is right now compaired to where you want

313
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 8: it to be for the season opener.

314
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, right now we're we're obviously battling through

315
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 4: some things, but you know we're also being smart.

316
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 3: That's the most important thing when it comes to the season.

317
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 4: You know, it's always we I think we've done a

318
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 4: great job with the next man of mentality. You know,

319
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 4: we've we've got guys that are going to step up

320
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 4: this for us, this this preseason and going into the

321
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 4: regular season, and they're gonna make their hay and do

322
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 4: what they gotta do to help health the cause, for

323
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 4: the offense and for the team. And we're just excited

324
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 4: for those guys against everybody the opportunity.

325
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 3: So you know, we're like this, Like I mentioned, we're.

326
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 4: Dealing through some things right now, but it's always that

327
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 4: next man of mentality and we have an understanding about it,

328
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 4: and you know, we're just gonna keep going team.

329
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 9: Every time we talk about the Dolphins, we've got to

330
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 9: talk about your speed. And with the Olympics just finishing,

331
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 9: there's a lot of talk about the Olympic relay legs.

332
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 9: You had your teammate Tyreek Kill saying he would beat

333
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 9: Noah Lyles in the race.

334
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: How do you think you, Tyreek, your guys.

335
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 9: Would square up with some of these Olympic guys if

336
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 9: you guys got out there on an un hunted me race.

337
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 5: Yeah.

338
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously it takes training, right, We definitely have

339
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 4: to get the training in, But honestly, I think we'll

340
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 4: square off pretty good. I like our chances, I like

341
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 4: our hids. We could definitely make some make some noise

342
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 4: in that regard. You know, you see what Tyree's tweeting

343
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 4: right here. Uh man, he's just he's just excited about it.

344
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 4: And I mean I might join him, honestly, I might.

345
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 3: I might join them in.

346
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 4: The race and see see where it leads us. But

347
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 4: it's just fun, man, and be able to be considered

348
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 4: the fastest guys in the league, one of the fastest

349
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 4: teams in the league. And you know, we're just trying

350
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 4: to trying to carry that statistic all the way through

351
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 4: and we take pride in it as well.

352
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,479
Speaker 8: All Right, one last question from me rahiim what does

353
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 8: the Miami Dolphins team have to do as a team

354
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 8: to get over the hump to win playoff games, to

355
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 8: make a deep playoff run. Finally, it's been a long

356
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 8: time for Miami.

357
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, it has been like twenty plus years. The one

358
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 4: thing that you know is stays consistent is is the

359
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 4: healthier team wins. And that's that's the case for us.

360
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 4: We just got to stay healthy towards the end of

361
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 4: the year. You know, we we were battling through a

362
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 4: lot last year, we lost a lot of key guys.

363
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 4: But this year, that's that's our main goal. And something

364
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 4: that we're trying to really focus on.

365
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 6: Appreciate you.

366
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 9: Raheem Pro Bowl running back Raheem Moster, coming off a

367

368
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 9: you that age is just a number.

369

Speaker 8: Yes, when we come back, we're going to hear from

370

Speaker 1: the entire season, now officially going on IR because of

382
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: the meniscus repair surgery that he underwent this week. Sam Darnold,

383
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: now the starter. Minnesota did add mac correll a one

385
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 1: in the UFL to the roster. The Bengals wrapped up

386
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: their kicker for the long haul, a three year, sixteen

387
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: point five million dollar extension for Evan McPherson, who has

388
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: been unbelievable not just in the regular season but in

389
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: the postseason. Arkut Mike here full of breaking that news

390
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: sets professional ward in ten million in new money in

391
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: the first year of the deal, highest ever for a

392
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: three year kickoff kicker. Rather extension. Dak bren Scott's still

393
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 1: waiting for his new deal, but he has been on

394
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: the field Fulbard just been in practice. On Thursday, after

395
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: dealing with a little bit of soreness in that ankle

396
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: and sitting out for a few days, Dallas traveled to

397
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,479
Speaker 1: Las Vegas for their preseason game coming up this weekend.

398
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: But before that, Dak talked about day what is going

399
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: on with those negotiations.

400
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 10: Good conversations are going I will say that call the negotiations,

401
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 10: whatever conversations, A lot of good things are going going

402
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 10: on there. So a lot of confidence.

403
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: Once again, as.

404
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 10: We've I said, anytime I feel like I've talked about it,

405
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 10: I've got confidence in my guys, these guys getting something done.

406
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Insiders, presented by Harbor Freight, Tom Pillicero,

407
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: Judy Batista. Join now by our friend Jane Slater. Jane,

408
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: I feel a little bit bad because I want to

409
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: say I made a wise crack like three four months

410
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,199
Speaker 1: ago on the show about Hey, you know, hopefully in

411
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: the not too distant future, we're not just talking about

412
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: DAK and the contract and CD and the contract. Here

413
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 1: we are, it's August sixteenth, We're twenty three days out

414
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: from their opener, still talking about the same subjects. Let's

415
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: start on Dak. What do we know as of now

416
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: about where things stand terms of the negotiations and also

417
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: that ankle that has been popping up here in recent weeks.

418
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 11: Yeah, ankle not an issue for those that are worried.

419
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 11: I mean some of the concern about that ankle, of course,

420
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 11: began this summer when he was spotted going on a.

421
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 6: Fishing trip in a walking boot.

422
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 11: So you know, this is a veteran that knows.

423
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: All this picking up for right there, Jane, I would

424
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: say this with when it comes to Dak Prescott here. Now,

425
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: remember the Cowboys already used a second franchise tag on

426
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: him to buy time to get the paperwork done. When

427
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: they signed was last extension back in twenty twenty one,

428
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: so tagging back in twenty twenty five really not an option.

429
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: It cost him close to eighty million dollars for one year, Judy.

430
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: That really puts the pressure on the Dallas organization here

431
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: to either get something done prior to the start of

432
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: the regular season or else have Dak basically turn his

433
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: attention as we bring back Jane Slater to the regular season. Jane,

434
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: it does sound like there have been actual negotiations. There

435
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: have been more than conversations here. Dak certainly painting this

436
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: as going the right direction. So you were saying about

437
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: the state of negotiations.

438
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think a lot of us to borrow a

439
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 11: term from Jerry Jones, were used to sort of the

440
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 11: ambiguity as it relates around here. Zach Martin, look at

441
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 11: his deal. It took him three weeks to get that

442
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 11: one deal done. And then I'll never forget Ezekiel Elliot.

443
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 11: Remember they just kept saying he doesn't deserve this the

444
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 11: money that was out there at the time for running back,

445
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 11: and then they paid him. Literally, he got signed a

446
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 11: week before the season started, and I anticipate that this

447
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 11: thing will be equally close for both of them. I

448
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 11: would say that I anticipated that Ceedee Lamb would likely

449
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 11: get his deal done.

450
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: And then you had CD.

451
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 11: We've heard through Calvin Watkins, one of my colleagues a

452
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 11: Dallas Morning News that the Cowboys at least talked to

453
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 11: Ceedee Lamb in his camp and offered him a deal

454
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 11: just around the thirty three million dollar mark that would

455
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 11: put him above aj Brown, a little bit below Jefferson.

456
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 11: And then with Dak, you had him this week say

457
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 11: the conversations were going good. In fact, I had one

458
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 11: person take it a little bit further and say that

459
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 11: they were on the same page. So what that page

460
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 11: is in the book, I don't know. But for fans,

461
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 11: you get frustrated with the Cowboys, Tom and Judy. It

462
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 11: does sound that they're at least trying to get both

463
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 11: of these guys under contract make them feel good about

464
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 11: the future. But I still think it's a very good

465
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 11: possibility that Dak could say, look, I am set to

466
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 11: get paid the highest number of for the quarterbacks out there.

467
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 11: I'm going to play this one out. Not dissimilar from

468
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 11: what Kirk Cousins did, so, I still think that that

469
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 11: one's up in the air still. Even though he characterized

470
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 11: it as being good conversations, he made it very clear

471
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 11: he wants to be in Dallas. I just think the

472
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 11: Cowboys have to figure out a way how are we

473
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,719
Speaker 11: going to pay these two players. They're going to take

474
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 11: up so much of the money here as it relates

475
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 11: to the cat space and the roster, and get this

476
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 11: thing done.

477
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 9: Well.

478
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 8: If Dak goes to free agency, you can queue us

479
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 8: up for the next eight months of talking about Dak

480
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 8: and his potential contract situation going into free agency. Let's

481
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 8: flip over to the defense very quickly, Jane Treyvon Diggs

482
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 8: returned to the practice field. Maybe not for the game

483
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,719
Speaker 8: this week, but certainly this is going to be, especially

484
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 8: if Devonte Adams Blaze a really good test for that

485
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 8: Dallas secondary.

486
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:54,719
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

487
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 11: I mean last year you saw the way this secondary

488
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 11: step stepped up in the absence of Trayvon Diggs entered

489
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 11: himself in the ACL very early in the season. So

490
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 11: just seeing him out at practice, he already had a

491
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 11: huge grob against the scrimmage with the Rams, got people

492
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 11: really really excited. But I talked to multiple people today.

493
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 11: He will not be playing in this game against the Raiders.

494
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 11: Why would you, Mike McCarthy, Unlike the Las Vegas Raiders

495
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,719
Speaker 11: who have said that they're going to roll out anybody

496
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 11: who's healthy this week, he doesn't need anybody else to

497
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 11: get hurt. I mean, even this week we saw Deron

498
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 11: Land and we saw Brandon Cooks collide during a pass play.

499
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 11: They ended up going to the medical tent, little soreness

500
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 11: in their need, but thankfully they were fine. They lost

501
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 11: Sam Williams here at camp. They also this week they

502
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 11: lost another offensive lineman. He went back to Dallas. He

503
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 11: gave him some depth. He's getting surgery, and so they

504
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 11: are being cautious with the way they manage these guys.

505
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 11: A very good opportunity for some of these young guys

506
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 11: still trying to prove themselves to Mike Zimmer as they

507
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 11: start making roster cuts, how they can hold up against

508
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 11: a guy like Devonte Adams.

509
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: Jane, for the record, we would never pull the plug

510
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: on you when you're talking about Dallas Cowboys news. Jared

511
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 1: might have when you're talking about the deck contract. I'm

512
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: not accusing anyone. I'm just saying, don't really know entirely

513
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: what happened right there. Thank you very much, look forward

514
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,239
Speaker 1: to talking with you again soon. Cowboys Raiders one of

515
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: the quadruple header games on Saturday, TENBM Eastern, live right

516
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: here on NFL Network, Las Vegas. So trying to decide

517
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: is it Aidan O'Connell, is it Gardner Minshew? Which mustache?

518
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 1: Will Antonio Pierce choose to take him through the twenty

519
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 1: twenty four season. Oh, that's going to continue to sort

520
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: itself out this weekend, and we welcome in our Omar

521
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: Ruiz to talk more on that situation. Omar, This Raiders

522
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: offense a lot of different questions that they've got. Certainly

523
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback is the biggest one as we head into

524
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, But what else are they trying to

525
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: figure out right now on that side of the ball.

526
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 12: Well, no matter who plays quarterback, that tight end will

527
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 12: be featured prominently in that offense because of the presence

528
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 12: of Brock Bauers and their second round pick last year.

529
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 12: Michael Mayer a lot of talk about how Harrison Bryant

530
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 12: has had an impactful training camp coming over as a

531
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 12: free agent from the Cleveland Browns, and I asked tight

532
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 12: ends coach Luke Steckl because of that talent in the

533
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 12: tight end room, do they tweak the playbook?

534
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: Do they call more plays with.

535
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 12: Twelve personality told me when they were installing the offense,

536
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 12: they had everybody learn the base concepts, but because of

537
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 12: the confidence in the talent that they have in the

538
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 12: tight ends room, in the versatility that that group has,

539
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 12: they had them learn a little more of the receiver

540
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 12: concepts than they might normally with the tight end group,

541
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 12: and that means that will allow them to call similar

542
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 12: plays whether they have one tight end on the field,

543
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 12: two tight ends or three tight ends.

544
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: Eleven personnel, twelve personnel or thirteen personnel.

545
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 12: As far as brock Bauers is concerned, Steckel telling me

546
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 12: that he's been so impressed with how strong that brock

547
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 12: Bauers plays, whether he's past protecting in the past game

548
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 12: staying home, whether he's blocking in the run game, or

549
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 12: whether how strong he plays when he has the ball

550
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 12: in his hand. He's a type of player and not

551
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 12: only doesn't shy away from contact, but seeks contact. He said,

552
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,239
Speaker 12: that's the type of toughness that just comes straight from

553
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 12: the heart. You can't teach that. The type of player

554
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 12: that craves violence. He said, some players shy away from

555
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 12: that violence. This tight ends group. You know, Bowers, mayor Bryant,

556
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 12: the rest of them. They all the type of player

557
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 12: that craves at violence. So they look forward to incorporating

558
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 12: them heavily. Whether it's Gardner Minshew, whether it's Aidan O'Connell

559
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 12: playing quarterback for the Raiders.

560
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: Love is the Omar.

561
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 8: They also have a quarterback competition on the other side

562
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 8: of the fields with the Denver Broncos. And you know,

563
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 8: I'm curious because Sean Payton's this is his second year. Obviously,

564
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 8: the first year did not go the way he wanted

565
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 8: at all, started very poorly, didn't get a whole lot better.

566
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 8: How has it looked so far in these early days

567
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 8: of the preseason and from training camp.

568
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 12: Yeah, it sounds like they've had to reevaluate their training

569
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 12: camp just a little bit. Sean Payton saying that they've

570
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 12: addressed the team how important it is to start fast

571
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 12: in a season. They've gone over the first five games

572
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 12: for playoff teams, how successful they typically are at the

573
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 12: beginning of the year, and they've tried to lay out

574
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 12: a training camp that will have a better start for

575
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 12: them than the one in five they got last year.

576
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 12: In the twenty twenty three season, some of those is

577
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 12: becoming more intense in training camp, leading to more competitive

578
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 12: situations in camp, and obviously Sean Payton's saying that he

579
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 12: wants to win these preseason games. They have young, hungry,

580
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 12: impressionable players, and they've set up their training camp with

581
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 12: a scrimmage they didn't have a year ago to get

582
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 12: them ready for a training camp. And after the game

583
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 12: against the Colts on Sunday, Sean Payton told me that

584
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 12: their competitive spirit was the most important thing for him

585
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 12: in that operation. The way they got in late on Saturday.

586
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 12: They played a game in the preseason, which is unusual,

587
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 12: eleven o'clock their body's time. They responded, they got the win,

588
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 12: and they've set up their preseason to play every game

589
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 12: on Sundays so they can get that routine down to

590
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 12: get them ready for the regular season. Because of their

591
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 12: seventeen games, fifteen of them are on Sundays. You only

592
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 12: have one Monday night or only one Thursday night, or

593
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 12: so every little subtle change like that they're hoping leads

594
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 12: to a better start and avoid that one in five

595
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 12: like they had last season.

596
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: Bo Nicks gets the start Sunday night against the Packers,

597
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: trying to make his closing argument to be in the

598
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: starting quarterback and you can see it. You guessed it

599
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,000

611
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: by Harvard Freight, Tom Pelicero, Judy Mattista, now joined by

612
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: our Adam Rank. Adam, I know you want to talk

613
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: to us about some guys that are maybe they're the

614
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: bigger names, right, like the opposite of sleepers. They're so

615
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: good they're so established that somehow people are just missing

616
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: how consistent, how reliable, how good these guys are. So

617
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: give me a name of somebody who might be going

618
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: a little lower in fantasy drafts, even though everything about

619
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: their history shows they are somebody you should be counting on.

620
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 13: Well, let's talk about Cooper Kupp And last season I

621
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 13: was going around on all these shows talking about Pooka

622
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 13: and Nakua, saying you should draft him, and now we've

623
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 13: gone the other way. It's kind of like when they

624
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 13: open up the five guys here in Southern California and

625
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 13: everybody stop going to in and out for a couple

626
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 13: of weeks. I'm like, what are you doing? This is

627
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,719
Speaker 13: still a better burger. And I'm looking at this Rams offense,

628
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 13: and Sean McVay is shown throughout his history that he

629
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 13: can support two number one wide receivers, one of them

630
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 13: being a one A and one of them being a

631
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 13: one B. And while everybody's drafting Pooka and Akua, they're

632
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 13: allowing Cooper Cup to drop to the third or fourth round.

633
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 13: And that is where I am going to strike. I

634
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 13: am going to be showing some respect, showing some deference

635
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 13: to Cooper Cup because he has been so good for

636
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 13: us for so long.

637
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 6: Now he's being neglected.

638
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: Adam.

639
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 8: I can't believe the next name that is on my list,

640
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 8: because every Jets fan is thinking about this person, certainly

641
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 8: not overlooking him.

642
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: A Demanday Adams.

643
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's the Jets are certainly not disrespecting him, and

644
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 13: I think most people who enjoy football do not disrespect

645
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 13: Devontay Adams. But in fantasy circles he continues to tumble.

646
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 13: And I don't know if it's partly because of the

647
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 13: documentary that was on Netflix, which saw Devontay Adams be

648
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 13: set with this quarterback play. Well, there's a new guy

649
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 13: in town, Gardner Minshew should be quite an upgrade for him.

650
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 13: And even last season, with everything that was going on,

651
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 13: he was still the wide receiver ten in fantasy circles.

652
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 13: This year, I expect him to take a step forward.

653
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 13: I think one of the reasons of having Brock Bauers

654
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 13: there will open things up for him. So again, when

655
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 13: you're sitting there in your drafts, you're in the third

656
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 13: and fourth round, when you see the Banta Adams available

657
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 13: to you, don't don't rub your eyes. Instead, make the

658
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 13: move and draft of Vante Adams.

659
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: All right, give me another one. Who else? Who else

660
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: do we to show some respect to as we enter

661
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: the draft.

662
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 6: Let's talk about Kyle Pitts.

663
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 13: And I don't think that there's been anybody in fantasy

664
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 13: communities who's had to wear it more than me when

665
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 13: it comes about talking about Kyle Pitts. And even as

666
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 13: I bring him up this season, people like, we've been

667
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 13: here before, Actually you haven't. There's a new offensive coordinator

668
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 13: in Zach Robbins, Zack Robinson. There's a new quarterback and

669
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 13: Kirk Cousins. And here's what I want you to know

670
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 13: about Kyle Pitts. Since twenty twenty one, he is one

671
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 13: of four players who has one thousand receiving yards on

672
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 13: targets of more than ten air yards.

673
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 6: He is a deep threat. But here's the thing.

674
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 13: Kirk Cousins has the highest passer rating amongst quarterbacks on

675
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 13: targets of more than ten air yards. This is a

676
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 13: perfect combination. The Kyle Pitts revenge tour starts.

677
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 6: Now. It's a reunion like he was great as a

678
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 6: as a rookie.

679
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 13: It's kind of like having Tom DeLong rejoined Blink one

680
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,760
Speaker 13: eighty two it'll be that kind of reunion.

681
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 1: Tom, you should be on board with this, Adam. Every

682
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 1: time you're not here, you know what, I miss you.

683
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot. Once again, you've been missing Fantasy Live.

684
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,919
Speaker 1: Right It's back Monday through Wednesday next week. Be sure

685
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: to be there. Get a lot more rank and the

686
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 1: rest of the game coming up after this. Jayden Daniels

687
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: still technically not named QB one in Washington. We all

688
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,320
Speaker 1: kind of assume it's coming, namely because he's throwing things

689
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: like dins to Diami. Let's talk a little bit more

690
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: about him, the progression he's shown during the course of camp,

691
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: what it means for the Commanders. Next you back to

692
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: the Insiders presented by Harbor Freight. Commanders and the Dolphins

693
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: had a joint practice this week. You can see Tua

694
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: dappen up. One of the guys could go one of

695
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: the future stars of the NFL. J Daniels him won't

696
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: smell a lot of time around both these guys here

697
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: over the past month. As we welcome him back to

698
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: the show alongside Judy Batista and meet Tom Pelicio can

699
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: tell me about Jayden Daniels. We know that Dan Quinn

700
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: has said he's shown everything and more that they wanted

701
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 1: to see. Still hasn't actually been named QB one, But

702
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: where do they see the growth through the course of

703
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:49,760
Speaker 1: this camp.

704
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, Tom came away very impressed watching Jayden Daniels Thursday

705
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 9: against that Dolphins defense. He saw a lot of exotic

706
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 9: Bliss looks and really look comfortable and control. Now Miami

707
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 9: didn't have Jalen Ramsey or Javon Holland, but one thing

708
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 9: that really stood out is watching him in the red zone.

709
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 9: There was a period where he had five straight touchdown

710
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 9: passes in the red zone, including several over the middle

711
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 9: of the field, which was a question mark for him

712
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 9: coming out of college. He's really excelled in processing in

713
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 9: that area. And I talked with Jayden Afford practice for

714
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 9: a little bit and we joked about the one play

715
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 9: in the preseason game he hit Diami Brown for that

716
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 9: forty two yard pass deep.

717
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 1: He said, look, I checked.

718
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 9: Out of a screen pass, and when I got to

719
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 9: the sidelines, the coaches were a little upset with me,

720
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 9: but they were happy with the result. And when I

721
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 9: talked to Dan Quinn after practice with me, had that

722
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 9: wasn't what he was supposed to do, but it tells

723
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,720
Speaker 9: me that he is confident and comfortable with the scheme

724
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 9: and when we get into the regular season, he is

725
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 9: going to have the freedom to be able to check

726
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 9: at the line of scrimmage. One other nugget that Jaden

727
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:49,959
Speaker 9: shared to me, he said he was excited to see

728
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 9: the Dolphins blitzes. He get to see Todd Bowles in

729
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 9: Tampa in Week one and so he wanted to see

730
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 9: how he handled that in real speed. He said, they

731
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 9: got me sometimes and I got them sometimes. It was

732
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 9: good for him to be able to manage his reads

733
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 9: his hots in that formation. And last thing, as we

734
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,280
Speaker 9: look to Saturday's preseason game, dan Quinn told me expect

735
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 9: Jaden to play one to two series with the starters

736
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 9: on Saturday. He said, he got a lot of reps

737
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 9: in the joint practices, so they won't play him a ton,

738
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 9: but they do want to see a little.

739
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 1: Bit more of the young quarterback before the regular season.

740
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 8: Okay, and we know that when teams have joint practices,

741
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,919
Speaker 8: it's usually because the coaches are buddies. These two, dan

742
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 8: Quinn and Mike mcdanielge go way back, all the way

743
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 8: really to nearly the start of Mike McDaniel's career.

744
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, quite a special relationship between Dan Quinn and Mike McDaniel,

745
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 9: and McDaniel was very transparent this week, saying that he

746
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 9: didn't know if he would be here as a Dolphins

747
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 9: head coach if he hadn't had the chance to be

748
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 9: under Dan Quinn from twenty fifteen to twenty sixteen and

749
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 9: Atlanta when Quinn was the head coach. And McDaniel has

750
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 9: been very transparent about his sobriety journey. You know, he

751
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 9: was dealing with alcohol abuse in that period, and he

752
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 9: said dan Quinn was one of those guys who told

753
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 9: him you can do it, you can manage through this process.

754
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,879
Speaker 9: And he just kept profusing how much he loved Dan

755
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,240
Speaker 9: as a man, as a leader. He talked about his culture,

756
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 9: his ability to run a franchise, and Quinn as well

757
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 9: just simply said all of us need teammates, and Mike

758
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 9: did the work, but we were all there to support them.

759
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 9: And there was a fun moment at the end of

760
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 9: their little back and forth where Mike mideo learned that

761
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 9: dan Quinn told him, Hey, I love him, and he said,

762
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 9: can you tell dan Quinn through the Internet that I

763
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 9: love him?

764
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 3: More so?

765
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 9: It's just kind of a special connection for these two

766
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 9: guys who are trying to build their own franchise as

767
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 9: dan Quinn getting a start to restart this Washington franchise

768
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 9: and for the Dolphins, they're trying to end that twenty

769
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 9: four year playoff drought. But we get to learn a

770
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 9: little bit about their special personal connections in between.

771
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: Cam, thank you as I always look forward to chatting

772
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: with you again next week. Coming up after this, we

773
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 1: got Judy's favorite segment in the history of this show.

774
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,480

Speaker 1: cast in the Judy Battista production of Madden the movie.

809
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,879
Speaker 8: Okay, First of all, with all due respect to Nick Cage,

810
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 8: who I'm sure will be fantastic, John c Riley should

811
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 8: be John Matten. He looks like him. The late Philip

812
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 8: Seymour Huffman would have been a choice too. Kenny Stabler,

813
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 8: that should be Brad Pitt. It has to be somebody

814
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 8: rakishly handsome, and that's bread Pitt.

815
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 1: Kurt some role.

816
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 8: I think Kurt Russell, who has gone gray, handsome, great

817
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 8: gray hair and a great voice. That's Pat summerle Al

818
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 8: Davis me has to be Al Pacino. I don't know

819
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 8: if there's any other choice for Al Davis but Al

820
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 8: Pacino and Gen Upshaw, who is one of my very

821
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 8: very favorite people in all of the NFL.

822
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: Michael B.

823
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 8: Jordan for Gene Upshaw.

824
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: I had Pacino in there as Al Davis too, but

825
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 1: then I was thinking, if we're casting this as young

826
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: Al Davis, Steve Buscemi, maybe a little bit more age

827
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 1: appropriate in that. How about Burt Kreischer as John Medden.

828
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 1: I feel like you'd have to put a shirt on

829
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,399
Speaker 1: for the first time, but I feel like you could

830
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: potentially make that. We're Good's got acbar in there? Who

831
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: else can better play a Raiders defensive end?

832
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:14,399
Speaker 4: Right?

00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:16,800
