1
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: Just fifty short days until kickoff now, and we are

2
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: counting down the biggest storylines of the twenty twenty five

3
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: NFL season. Judy Matteiza will reveal her top five list tonight,

4
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: and key contract questions are just part of the picture.

5
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: Young quarterbacks are always a story this time of year,

6
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: and it is not just the rookies.

7
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: Could Michael Pennix Junior be a breakout star?

8
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: And what can we realistically expect from JJ McCarthy after

9
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: the Vikings QB missed his entire rookie season. We will

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: break down new faces in the same places. One face

11
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: we never get tired of seeing Brian or Lacker who

12
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: is getting ready to board a boat with Bears fans

13
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: seriously and he will tell you why they should be

14
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: just a bit more merry than usual, open bar or

15
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: not welcome inside with the insiders alongside Judy Matista and

16
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: Mike Garafolo, I am Tom Pelisero.

17
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: That is right.

18
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: We got fifty days until kickoff. The Chargers today became

19
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: the first full squad to report to training camp. One

20
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: week from today, all thirty two teams will officially be

21
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: in camp. Football right around the court. For now, we've

22
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: still got some business to take care of off the

23
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: field to get some of those players on the field.

24
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: That's what the Denver Broncos did last night with their

25
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: first round draft pick, John A. Behren, the number twenty

26
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: overall pick, agreeing to terms on his four year, fully

27
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: guaranteed rookie contract that, like all those first round contracts,

28
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: includes a fifth year option. Only one first round pick

29
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: still unsigned. That is the guy taking three spots ahead

30
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: of him, Shamar Stewart, who remains in a standoff over

31
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: contract language with the Bengals. Coleston Loveland, the Bears rookie

32
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: tight end, another first round draft pick, went high in

33
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: the draft despite the fact that he underwent offseason surgery

34
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: on the AC joint in one of his shoulders, was

35
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: not able to do a whole lot during the spring.

36
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: But sounds like Loveland is progressing well.

37
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 3: It feels good, really good.

38
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, mess it spell for sure.

39
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 3: What's the difference in how in spell even since the

40
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 3: last time we talked to you in June, you feel

41
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 3: like it's made a lot of progress.

42
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, strength strengths there.

43
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 2: You know, the scars issue barely there anymore. So it's

44
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 2: just yes, it's all every everything is increasing which is good.

45
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 5: Is the plan to be ready to go for the

46
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 5: started training camp?

47
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: Yes, the plan craft full go like you know, restrictions

48
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 2: are not.

49
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 4: Sure a plan.

50
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: Don't go down that water slide. Colston bears rookie's report

51
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: to training camp on Saturday. Charters full squad already in

52
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: the building. Say hello to Cameron Dicker, who looks like

53
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: he's ready to join the Tour de France, especially when

54
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: he's drinking that energy. Drake Lad McConkey also in the house,

55
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: predictably a slightly more low key for the Friend of

56
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: the Insider's arrival today out there in El Segundo. Na

57
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: Gie Harris mean while also expected to be in the

58
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: building today, but not going to be ready for these

59
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: training camp gm Joe Hortiz speaking with local reporters, including

60
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: Daniel Poppers, saying that Naji Harris is expected to begin

61
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: training camp on the non football injury list. He was

62
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: injured suffered an eye injury in a fourth of July

63
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: fireworks explosion. Hortes indicated that from what he has heard Mike,

64
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 1: they're not overly concerned with this injury based on the

65
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: feedback they've gotten from doctors at Stanford, but Hortiz said

66
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: something like this, there is also still a bit of

67
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: an unknown it being worth monitoring here exactly when Nagi

68
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: is able to get on the field.

69
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: What more do we know?

70
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: Right when Hortiz spoke to the media, Nigi Harris had

71
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 3: not yet reported, so they haven't had a chance to

72
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 3: get their own look at the injury. They are taking

73
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 3: the word of the agent and those around him, And

74
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 3: we heard from Najie Harris's agent saying it's a superficial

75
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: wound to the eye or injury that he suffered, which

76
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 3: is his way of saying, you know, no big deal, right,

77
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 3: Everything's okay, But that's fine. That's what the agent is

78
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 3: supposed to say until Najie Harris gets in and until

79
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 3: the chargers get their own look at it and their

80
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 3: own doctors make an evaluation. And look, I did have

81
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 3: some people because I put out that news and said, hey,

82
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 3: this is the injury that his agent is saying is superficial,

83
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 3: and they were like, oh yeah, I go to the

84
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 3: hospital all the time and get treated by doctors all

85
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 3: the time for injuries that are superficial.

86
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 2: I get it.

87
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 3: We're getting that solely from the agent. But now we

88
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 3: are going to get answers. The Chargers are going to

89
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 3: get answers, and we shall see what happens in the

90
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 3: meantime duty. It looks like Omari and Hampton, at least

91
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 3: the rookie is going to have a clearer path until

92
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 3: Najie Harris gets on the field to get more reps

93
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 3: and maybe make more of a statement early on.

94
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 6: Right, Omar and Hampton was going to get a whole

95
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 6: lot of reps anyway, whether Najie Harris was there or not.

96
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 6: But certainly now he is going to get the overwhelming

97
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,679
Speaker 6: amount of the workload. This is a team that wants

98
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 6: to lean into the run, right. Harpball could not be

99
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 6: any more in love with Justin Herbert, but he wants

100
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 6: a much more balanced offensive attack. He wants to be

101
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 6: able to run the ball. That is why they draft

102
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 6: Hampton so he will get an enormous amount of the workload. Now,

103
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 6: he was going to get a big amount even if

104
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 6: Najie Harris was there. And then hopefully they get Naji

105
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 6: Harris into camp very soon. Hopefully the eye injury is

106
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 6: indeed just superficial. The group that they're going to have

107
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 6: on the practice field initially is not going to look

108
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 6: much like the offensive group that they hope to have

109
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 6: on the field when the season kicks off. For instance,

110
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 6: obviously they hope Nagie Harris is healthy by then. Trey Harris,

111
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 6: the wide receiver they drafted in the second round, is

112
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 6: caught up in the same sort of contract situation that

113
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 6: so many other second rounders are caught up in, so

114
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 6: he is unsigned. And Mike Williams, the receiver who is

115
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 6: back with the Chargers, is also not going to be

116
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 6: on the field.

117
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 2: So right now, it's sort of an incomplete group that

118
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 2: the Charger are going to put out there.

119
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 6: Initially, of course they are reporting very early, but eventually

120
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 6: they hope to have this whole group together. Of course,

121
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 6: they hope to get Trey Harris signed, as all of

122
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 6: these second rounders hopefully gets signed in the next few days,

123
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 6: and then they will be cohesive, hopefully when Najie Harris

124
00:05:59,000 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 6: gets healthy.

125
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: Fifty one days away from the Chargers opener against the

126
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: Chiefs on a Friday night in Brazil. But then I

127
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: mentioned fifty days until the opener. It is Cowboys Eagles

128
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: in Week one. That is what we are continuing to

129
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: count down to. And with fifty days until the season

130
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: kicks off, it felt like a good time to talk

131
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: about some of the biggest storylines of the entire season,

132
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: not just the various contractual things we'll be working through

133
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: here leading up to most teams reporting for training camp

134
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: in the middle of next week. But Judy, we're talking

135
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: about actual football coming up soon. Giving your first of

136
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: the biggest five storylines ahead.

137
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: Of us in the twenty twenty five season.

138
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 6: Well shocking it involves Aaron Rodgers, which has been the

139
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 6: biggest storyline for the last two years as well, but

140
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 6: this time it is Aaron Rodgers at the Steelers, and

141
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 6: he's a symbol of what the Steelers are doing.

142
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 2: He's a big piece of what the Steelers are doing.

143
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 6: They're going all in this season around Aaron Rodgers' veteran

144
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 6: Leyden team. Of course, they got DK Metcalf at wide

145
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 6: receiver as well. They are making a push for a

146
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 6: Super Bowl. They keep getting to the playoffs. We know this,

147
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 6: and then they get halted. They brought in Aaron Rodgers.

148
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 6: They weren't happy with their quarterback play last year. Aaron

149
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 6: Rodgers has made it pretty clear that he believes this

150
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 6: will be the final season of his career. Well, the

151
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 6: Steelers are going to make a push to try to

152
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 6: get him to another Super Bowl.

153
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 3: Judy, you're seeing that the work that he did at

154
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 3: mini camp, and there was not much work that he

155
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 3: did in mini camp. I was there Mike Tomlins speaking

156
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 3: to the media and we asked him about the fact

157
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 3: that Rodgers wasn't there for the entire spring, And it's

158
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 3: the confidence in Rodgers that they had that he was

159
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 3: going to be able to arrive at training camp and

160
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 3: hit the ground running and get caught up by week one. Well,

161
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,679
Speaker 3: here we are and now here and I was thrown

162
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 3: with his guys on the side. He was thrown with

163
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 3: DK Metcalf all the way back in the spring. But

164
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 3: now comes the real work. Now comes the time at

165
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 3: which he has got to get caught up. So this

166
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 3: is definitely something we're going to be watching in training

167
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 3: camp to see how comfortable he is, how comfortable he looks.

168
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 7: I don't think, well, well, maybe I shouldn't say that.

169
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 3: I'll just say dont think we'll see him the preseason, but

170
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 3: Mike Toama loves to play his guys in the preseason,

171
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 3: so we shall see.

172
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 2: It's going to be interesting to see how quickly he

173
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 2: can get caught.

174
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Jalen Ramsey, Darius Slave is going

175
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: to be a vastly different group of stars at these

176
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: big names on that Steelers team. They don't necessarily need

177
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers to be a star, Judy, they just need

178
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: him to play better than what they've had at the quarterback.

179
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: Position in recent years.

180
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: What's your number two storyline for the twenty twenty five

181
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: NFL season.

182
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 6: This is also a storyline we have talked about in

183
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 6: the past. Are Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson finally going

184
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 6: to get to a Super Bowl? They have both gotten

185
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 6: so so close both of course League MVPs. Josh Allen

186
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 6: is the defending League MVP. They've gotten so close to toppling

187
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 6: the Kansas City Chiefs, they haven't been able to do

188
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 6: it in the AFC Championship Game. Will one of them

189
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 6: finally get to a super Bowl? Both of them are

190
00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 6: super Bowl caliber quarterbacks. Until they get that championship on

191
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 6: their resume, it's always going to be a black mark that,

192
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 6: of course, Patrick Mahomes has over them.

193
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

194
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 3: Let me give the graphics folks, by the way, and

195
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 3: everybody that control room props for throwing together these graphics

196
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 3: really quickly.

197
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 2: These are cool. You know, he got some one, we

198
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: got the two.

199
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 3: If looks like a down marker, even though the down

200
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 3: markers this year will just be there for show because

201
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 3: we're measuring first down. That's one of the storylines I'm

202
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 3: watching for twenty twenty five. We're measuring it hawkeye like

203
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 3: like they do in tennis. Anyway, Lamar Jackson, look, this

204
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 3: is easy for you to say, see that style of playoff,

205
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 3: that style of football doesn't win in the playoffs. Well,

206
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 3: if Mark Andrews, who's usually shorthanded, makes a catch there

207
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 3: in the postseason, maybe that game turns out differently.

208
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 7: It's hard to put that on Lamar Jackson.

209
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 3: But yeah, everybody's going to continue to be chirping until

210
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 3: he wins in the postseason.

211
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 7: Advances far enough for people's life.

212
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: Kissing up to the control room a good way to

213
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: not get wrapped Mike in an extra few seconds right there,

214
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: so you finish off his answer. Lamar Jackson's contract also

215
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: something that he's potentially going to be addressed before the season. Here,

216
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: both sides of acknowledge they've add some back and forth.

217
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: Will that actually get done prior to the start of

218
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: the season. We all know we're on Lamar time number three.

219
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: Judy laid on me.

220
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 6: Again a topic we have talked about the last few years.

221
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 6: What is the Giants quarterback situation going to wind up

222
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 6: looking like? Russell Wilson is the starter going into the

223
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 6: season Hunless, something very unexpected happens during training camp, but

224
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 6: Russell Wilson is going to be the starter.

225
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: That is how they want it.

226
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 6: The question is how fast is Jackson Dart going to

227
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 6: come along? The Giants have made clear that they would

228
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 6: prefer Jackson Dart the rookie.

229
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 2: To sit and learn as much as possible. The question

230
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: is are the Giants going to be good enough?

231
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 6: Is Russell Wilson going to be good enough to keep

232
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 6: Jackson Dart on the bench and at what point will

233
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 6: they want.

234
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 2: To see him?

235
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 6: One important piece of context here, the Giants have an

236
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 6: extremely difficult schedule this season. They have a really, really

237
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 6: difficult first half of the schedule, so the team could

238
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 6: be much better. The team certainly looks much better on paper,

239
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,599
Speaker 6: and the results still may not be showing up in

240
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 6: the win column. And how will that impact the decision

241
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 6: on whether to get Jackson Dart onto the field this season.

242
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 3: On July twenty sixth and twenty seventh, we do what's

243
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 3: known as Back Together Weekend. We're at all thirty two camps.

244
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 3: I believe Judy, you're with me. We're going to be

245
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 3: at the Giants. I think it's Sunday of that weekend.

246
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 3: Which when you get that assignment for that Back Together weekend,

247
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 3: you either want a Super Bowl contender or you want a.

248
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 7: Team with juicy training camp storylines.

249
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 3: And this team has got the juicy training camp storylines,

250
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 3: particularly at the quarterback spot.

251
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson comes in.

252
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 3: I know you could say some things about how things

253
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 3: have gone the last couple of years in Denver and Pittsburgh,

254
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 3: but there was a level of professionalism, there was a

255
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 3: level of call it swag, Like they always wanted Daniel

256
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 3: Jones to have that kind of swag.

257
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 7: He never really had it.

258
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: At least Russell Wilson had it.

259
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 3: So the hopeful that number one, he'll bring it to

260
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 3: the quarterback room and to the position, but also potentially

261
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 3: help that reb revoff On Jackson Dart as.

262
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: Well, and Russell Wilson played pretty well out of the

263
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: gate last year in Pittsburgh. Obviously, didn't end well for

264
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: him or anybody else on the Steelers. He showed flashes

265
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: what we've seen him do, mainly pushing the football down

266
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: the field. Will that be enough to keep him on

267
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: the field? We shall find out. Number four storyline Judy Batista.

268
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 6: Can the Dallas Cowboys and this is a perennial one

269
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 6: for sure. Can the Dallas Cowboys just be a normal

270
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 6: team without any drama? Could they just get Michael Parsons

271
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 6: under a contract. Can Dak Prescott stay healthy? Can they

272
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 6: just be a highly functioning team. It's a talented roster.

273
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 6: Dak Prescott is still one of the top quarterbacks in

274
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 6: the league. Of course, Brian Schottenheimer is the new head

275
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 6: coach this year. But can there be a measure of

276
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 6: calm around the Dallas Cowboys? Can they finally get rid

277
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 6: of the distractions and just play up to the level

278
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 6: that we think they should be capable of playing.

279
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: Did I hear Tom say no when you first posed

280
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 3: the question, I think, yeah, I did.

281
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,359
Speaker 2: I'll probably add the same, but that's fine.

282
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 3: You lean into it now now Brian Schottenheimer added to

283
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 3: the mix is an interesting one for me because he's

284
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 3: just like, that's such a like a lovable guy like

285
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 3: he saw when Micah Parsons was calling him to say, hey, coach,

286
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 3: I'm just calling to say good night, which was a

287
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 3: social media meme, and.

288
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 2: He's like, that's awesome, man, Yeah, good night.

289
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 7: And he had no idea that he was being punk,

290
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 7: but he was totally fine with it.

291
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 3: So he's gonna roll with the punches and one of

292
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 3: those punches might be early on.

293
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 2: A little bit of a.

294
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 3: Contract snaffoo here with Michaeh Parsons, which I believe we

295
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 3: have a quote from him today there.

296
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 2: It is from Fox four.

297
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 7: I'm just going to get mine no matter what.

298
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 3: He has made it clear he was willing to show

299
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 3: up for mini camp, even did a little bit of work,

300
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 3: but he said when it comes to training camp, I

301
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 3: want to be out there, but it's not up to me.

302
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 3: It's up to that guy right there in the hat

303
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 3: on the right side. So more work to be done

304
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 3: here with Michah Parsons. We shall see if Brian Schottenheimer

305
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 3: opens his first camp with a very big distraction.

306
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: Not pictured right there Michael Parsons agent. His name is

307
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: David Bullagett, which I'm sure Marry Jones knows. By this point,

308
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: I do anticipate that Michah Parsons will report to Oxnard,

309
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: California for training camp. The Cowboys certainly expect that. How

310
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: much does he do when he surprised me? Did some

311
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: stuff in OTAs we'll find out. But the Cowboys also

312
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: have shown, as is well documented, they're willing to wait

313
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: a little bit if that's what it takes to get

314
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: the type of deal that they ultimately would like to get.

315
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,359
Speaker 2: All right, Number five storyline, Judy.

316
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 6: Did the Kansas City Chiefs do enough to get back

317
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 6: on top of the NFL? I think the nature of

318
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 6: their Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles b Because

319
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 6: it was such a bad loss, people think that dynasty

320
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 6: is over.

321
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 2: Well not quite. Think they've won three Super Bowls, they

322
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 2: lost two.

323
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 6: The reason they lost those two was because of the

324
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 6: offensive line.

325
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 2: They did a lot of work on the offensive line.

326
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 6: They spent a lot of capital, draft capital, free agent

327
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 6: capital to address the offensive line.

328
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 2: Did they do enough?

329
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 6: They've also hopefully got some healthy wide receivers. If they

330
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 6: can keep those guys on the the offense should be

331
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 6: more explosive. Again, the Chiefs are still the best team

332
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 6: in the AFC until proven otherwise, I know that the

333
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 6: Philadelphia Eagles handled them easily, But until somebody in the

334
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 6: AFC topples them, I will not believe that the dynasty

335
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 6: is over.

336
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, Previously, when we saw them have offensive line issues

337
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 3: in the Super Bowls against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, we

338
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 3: saw what they did in the offseason offensive line at priority,

339
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 3: same kind of thing here.

340
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 2: They had an issue at left.

341
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 7: Tackle, had to throw Joe Tooney out there.

342
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 3: Great guard overmatched that left tackle, that's not his natural position.

343
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 3: So they go out and they sign a free agent

344
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 3: in Jalen Moore, and then they go draft Simmons as

345
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 3: well to be their left tackle of the future. So

346
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 3: they feel like they've done enough to shore that spot up.

347
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 3: Tray Smith gets his deal at the guard position, so

348
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 3: they feel good about their offensive line and that it'll

349
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 3: be better than the last time we saw them on

350
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 3: the field.

351
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: Fifty days until kickoff, which means Judy's got forty nine

352
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: days to come up with forty five more big storylines

353
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: in the twenty two five seasons. Speaking of the games,

354
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: By the way, he did make one roster move earlier today,

355
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: wide receiver Justin Ross, who's been on the team mostly

356
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: on the practice squad over the past three years. Asper's

357
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: release last week, the Chiefs officially waived him. Today he

358
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: can be claimed he was a very good player at

359
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: Clemson at a serious injury coming out of school. Minunderstanding

360
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: is he should have the interest out there, certainly a

361
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: name that fans will be interested to see exactly where

362
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: he lands today.

363
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 2: It would be a great day. Herd day yesterday, get

364
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 2: it down today, got you put down.

365
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 8: The left and life to the goal lines has cutdown

366
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 8: forty five yard down jump hand off the streets, runs

367
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 8: out of a tackle.

368
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 9: He's to the twenty fifty ten to the five to

369
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 9: the goal Life touchdown Giants, Tyron break game. What a

370
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 9: thirty three yard bird hand off. Thanks Man Betting with Tracy's.

371
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 2: A going to morning starting five yard runs.

372
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: Time now for the scout Snopebook with our scout Bucky Brooks,

373
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 1: who's got a new story up right now NFL dot

374
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: Com Slash Brooks with his twenty twenty five all breakout

375
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: team on offense. Land on me, Bucky, give me a

376
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: few names that we should be watching for breakout seasons

377
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: here in twenty twenty five.

378
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 10: Okay, we're gonna talk about the most important position in

379
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 10: fantasy football, and that'd be running back.

380
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 5: So we can go Tyron Tracy from the New York Giants.

381
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 10: And the reason why I expect him the breakout is

382
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 10: this offense is ready to explode and it'd be much

383
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 10: better than to Day's solved the quarterback situation where Russell

384
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 10: Wilson or Jameis Wilson or Jackson Dart and Tyron Tracy.

385
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 10: You have a former college receiver turn running back who

386
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 10: ran for over eight.

387
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 5: Hundred yards last year.

388
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 10: Well, now in this offense where Russell Wilson presumably leading away,

389
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 10: look for him to be a factor, not only as

390
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 10: a runner but catching the ball out the backfield. As

391
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 10: more defenses pay attention to the league neighbors, that's going

392
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 10: to create great opportunities for Tyron Tracy to be big

393
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 10: at wide receiver.

394
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 5: How about roam A Doonza from the Chicago Bears.

395
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 10: The Bears have been all about Ben Johnson and how

396
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 10: he's going to fig Caleb Williams. And so when I

397
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 10: think about the play calling, creativity, the growth and development

398
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 10: that we expect from Caleb Williams, more balls should head

399
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 10: in the direction of a Doomsay, big, physical playmaker, someone

400
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 10: who can get it done in the slot or a

401
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 10: wide look for him to have a big breakout season

402
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 10: in year two in.

403
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 5: The Bears uniform.

404
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 10: But the guy that I'm most excited about, it's the

405
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 10: quarterback down in Atlanta, Michael Pennox. I was a big

406
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 10: fan coming out of you Dub. I feel like he's

407
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 10: throw the best deep ball that we saw in that

408
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 10: draft class, and I think it really parlays.

409
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 5: It translates into huge success for the Falcons.

410
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 10: When I think about the weapons around him, the running

411
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 10: backs b John Robinson, Tyler Igier. On the outside, I

412
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 10: think about Drake London, Kyle Pitts, Darnielle Moody. There are

413
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 10: a lot of playmakers that should make the game e

414
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 10: for Michael Pennis And as we think about him suddenly,

415
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 10: because he just gave us a short sample size, now

416
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 10: that he knows exactly what he's doing, he understands the

417
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 10: scheme with all the mental reps, man, I think this

418
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 10: office is going to be explosive, and it's going to

419
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 10: be explosive because the deep ball is back in Atlanta

420
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 10: because Michael Pennix is at the him.

421
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: I'm reading this story right now, Bucky NFL dot com

422
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: slash Brooks.

423
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 2: You're tight end on here. Nobody go to.

424
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: NFL dot com slash Brooks and read this because I

425
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: would not have thought of this name as a top

426
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: fantasy target. Nobody go to NFL dot com slash Brooks

427
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,959
Speaker 1: and read Bucky's story. Bucky, thank you very much. As always,

428
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: speaking of Michael Pennick Junior, he of course took over

429
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: for Kirk Cousins down the stretch of the twenty twenty

430
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: four season, and while the win loss record was not

431
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,239
Speaker 1: what anyone would have hoped, there were certainly flashes of

432
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 1: what Pennix can do. He recently sat down with Michael

433
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: Vick to talk about how he prepared to play even

434
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: when he wasn't on the field.

435
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 11: Mental stuff that you take away from it. Obviously you

436
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 11: can't be in the game, but sitting on the sideline

437
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 11: playing the game in my head, you know the best I.

438
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 5: Can because obviously you can't mental relate.

439
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 11: Yeah, you can't assimilate the pressure and stuff like that,

440
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 11: but uh, you know, just minche Wot's hearing the play

441
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 11: card in my helmet, you know, and just thinking about

442
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 11: who I would throw it to in those situations.

443
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 5: But it was good man.

444
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 11: He like obviously Kurt, he did a lot of great

445
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 11: things in this league, and he was in his thirteen season,

446
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 11: so it was like it was good to be able

447
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 11: to be somebody by somebody that you know had that

448
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 11: experience and doing at a high level.

449
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 6: All right, Mike Carafalo, Let's talk a little bit more

450
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 6: about the second year quarterbacks who did not get on

451
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 6: the field much or at all in their rookie seasons.

452
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 6: Michael Pennix junior in Atlanta and JJ McCarthy at the

453
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 6: Minnesota Vikings. Which one of them do you think is

454
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 6: in the best position for success this season.

455
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 3: It's a tough one because you could look up there

456
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 3: at JJ McCarthy and see everything he's surrounded by.

457
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 2: He's playing in.

458
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 3: The dough while they're both playing in at home obviously,

459
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 3: and he's got a great offensive coaching stat But I'm

460
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 3: gonna go Michael for a few reasons.

461
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 2: Judy won. He had at.

462
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 3: Least that little bit of regular season experience, and he

463
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 3: didn't wilt.

464
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 2: He played a Sunday night football game.

465
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 3: This is the throw I was gonna talk about that Dart.

466
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 3: I think it was to tie the game or there

467
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 3: was a clutch situation, and he showed.

468
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 2: His arm strength.

469
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,719
Speaker 3: He showed he was willing to rely upon that arm

470
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 3: strengthen and look at the guys he throw through. I mean,

471
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 3: I'll take Drake London, I will take Jon Robinson out

472
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 3: of the backfield.

473
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 2: We'll see about Kyle Pitts. They're still waiting to cash

474
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 2: in on that.

475
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 7: But Ray Ray McLeod made plays.

476
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 3: Darnell Mooney right there, he made plays as well, So

477
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 3: it's not like there's not a great supporting cast there.

478
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 2: And there's a really good offensive line.

479
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 3: So and I like what the offensive coaching staff their

480
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 3: their philosophy.

481
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 2: It didn't quite work with Kirk Cousins.

482
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 3: Well now they've got an entire offseason to gear it

483
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 3: up on Penis. And you might say, maybe it's not

484
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 3: a great situation because Cousins is.

485
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 2: Behind him the minute he struggles.

486
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 3: But I don't think Michael Pennix is worried about that

487
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 3: or he's gonna wilt because of that.

488
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 2: Give me Peedicks, Judy, all right, I will go the

489
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 2: other side.

490
00:21:58,240 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 4: J J.

491
00:21:58,600 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: McCarthy. I agree with you.

492
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 6: This was not an easy choice, but I go with

493
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 6: JJ for a few reasons. First of all, he's going

494
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 6: to helm a team that won fourteen games last season,

495
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 6: and he's got really, really great receivers, Justin Jefferson one

496
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 6: of them to throw to, and maybe most of all

497
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 6: in his corner is Kevin O'Connell, who is the current

498
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 6: vogue in quarterback whispers and play callers in the NFL.

499
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 6: Think about what he did with sam Donold's career, and

500
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 6: now he has a quarterback that he can mold from

501
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 6: the very start of his career. And don't forget that

502
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 6: they are so sold on JJ McCarthy that they let

503
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 6: all the other quarterbacks leave in Minnesota. They made pursery

504
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 6: attempts to keep some of them, but certainly didn't bowl

505
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 6: any of them over. With the possibility of being the starter.

506
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 6: It is JJ McCarthy's team going forward. I like the

507
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 6: position he is in, Mike, thank you very much.

508
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 5: And when we.

509
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 3: Return, yeah, I'm just going to start when you making

510
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 3: your point. Was one of the other points for me

511
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 3: for Penis is that, like, JJ McCarthy's got to hit

512
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 3: the ground running right. If this thing drops off a

513
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 3: little bit, it's gonna be like, well, this is a

514
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 3: team that was humming last year and winning all those

515
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,239
Speaker 3: games again, the pressure on Pennix. His cousin's behind him

516
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 3: even if he didn't play well, He's an established guy.

517
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 3: They both have pressure. But JJ McCarthy's got to hit

518
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 3: the ground run. It's not gonna be like that game

519
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 3: with Penn State Michigan where they ran it like eight times. No,

520
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to throw the ball thirty to forty times, JJ.

521
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 2: No question.

522
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 6: Enormous expectations at the Minnesota Vikings, and when we come back,

523
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 6: we're going to talk about another team that has enormous expectations,

524
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 6: the Chicago Bears, with someone who knows them really well

525
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 6: and will accomplish great things with the Chicago Bears.

526
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 2: Brian Orlaker will join me next on The Insiders.

527
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 3: Matt Right ruling your side, DJ morn get some down,

528
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 3: righter Locker with a takeaway craner. Locker ticks off Aaron

529
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 3: Rodgers or the red Zone the hashleback for sure.

530
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 5: For the fun that's up, touchdown, look at the.

531
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 2: Dream of things.

532
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 6: Well, if you're a Chicago Bears fan, this guy needs

533
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 6: no introduction. That music video told you everything you need

534
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 6: to remember about Brian Urlacker, Chicago Bears legend, Hall of

535
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 6: Famer and now guest on The Insiders, Brian, great to see.

536
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 4: How have you been, Thanks having on. I appreciate Judie.

537
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 12: I've been good, playing a bunch of golf, bringing out

538
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 12: with my kids, just do a little traveling. Kind of

539
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 12: enjoyed myself. Somemmers are nice. All it's always warm her

540
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 12: and are as long, especially in the summer, but we

541
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 12: get out here a little bit and go go see

542
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 12: a little bit of the country a little bit in

543
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 12: the summer.

544
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 6: Well, we really appreciate you taking a few moments out

545
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 6: of your day to spend time with us. I want

546
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 6: to get to the football park right away because obviously

547
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 6: there have been a lot of changes around Hallis Hall

548
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 6: this all season, pretty big expectations for the season. Give

549
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 6: me your initial impressions of the changes, Ben Johnson, what

550
00:24:58,880 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 6: you're hoping.

551
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 12: For for this I'm excited about the changes. I like

552
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 12: Ben Johnson. I like Dennis Allen as a de cordator.

553
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 12: I think he's done a really good job throughout his career,

554
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 12: especially down in New Orleans as a decordinator. You know,

555
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 12: people are kind of doubting Caleb. I think Caleb was

556
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 12: the guy for the quarterback there. You know, I think

557
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 12: his rookie year was tough, but he played pretty good.

558
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 12: His number if you just look at his numbers, he

559
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 12: didn't throw a lot of pigs, didn't turn them all

560
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 12: over that much, and made some big plays. So I'm

561
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 12: looking for a lot of him this year. They're in

562
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 12: a tough division. I think that's one thing we're going

563
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 12: to gainst him is a division is really tough, but

564
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 12: they're going to be better as well, So you got

565
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 12: to look at.

566
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 4: That as part of that. He's going to be his

567
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 4: second year.

568
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 12: They got better up front on both sides of the football,

569
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 12: which I needed to do.

570
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 4: I'm excited.

571
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 12: I just I think with Ben Johnson at the helm

572
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 12: calling the place and put them position to make place

573
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 12: and other guys have to make plays, they should be

574
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 12: a lot better.

575
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 2: Well, you mentioned Caleb.

576
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 6: I know you've said in the past you think he

577
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 6: could have been the rookie of the Year if the

578
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 6: circumstances were a little bit better around him in Chicago

579
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 6: last season. From a defensive players of you, give me

580
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 6: a scouting report on Caleb.

581
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 2: What does he do well? What does he need to

582
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 2: improve this season to get to the level we think

583
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 2: he will be.

584
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 4: I think number one, get rid of the football.

585
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 12: You know, you watch these great quarterbacks and how fast

586
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 12: the ball has gone just from spiking. From my perspective

587
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 12: when I played Rogers, the ball has gone so fast, Brady,

588
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 12: they threw a quick Peyton Manning breeze. The ball was

589
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 12: gone so fast they didn't take a bunch of sacks.

590
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 12: And I understand that has a lot to do with

591
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 12: the offensive line as well. But get rid of the

592
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 12: ball a little faster. He's dangerous though, you know. You

593
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 12: get him out of the pocket scrambling around back there,

594
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 12: he's gonna make some plays.

595
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 4: And we saw that a little bit last year.

596
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 12: I think, as a defensive player, keep him in the pocket,

597
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 12: keep him in front of you when he scrambles, hit

598
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 12: him if he doesn't slide. But he's a dangerous guy.

599
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 12: I think he has a lot of potential and a

600
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 12: chance to be really good.

601
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 2: You mentioned also the defense.

602
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 6: They hired Dennis Allen as the defensive coordinator the defensive

603
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,479
Speaker 6: The defense certainly struggled a little bit last season. They

604
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 6: seem to focus this off season on shoring up the

605
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 6: pass rush. What are you hoping to see from that

606
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 6: defense and from Dennis Allen's scheme, I.

607
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 12: Think As a defensive player, it starts up front. You know,

608
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 12: you get if you can get pressure with four and

609
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 12: not have the blitzer. Just put your secondary in your

610
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 12: linebacker better positions. You know, being able to get pressure

611
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 12: with four guys is a big deal. They didn't do

612
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 12: that a lot last year. Not as many takeaways as

613
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 12: you'd like to see from a defense, but the ads

614
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 12: an aggressive guy. He's going to get after the quarterback.

615
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:23,959
Speaker 12: He's going to make sure he gets pressured and make

616
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 12: them uncomfortable. They have good players. I think that there's

617
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 12: no there's no doubt they have really good players on defense.

618
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 12: Does a matter of putting them in better positions I

619
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 12: see them taking a step forward to get this year.

620
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 12: It's they've always had a good defense. That's never been

621
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 12: an issue in Chicago. They've always had guys that can

622
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 12: get to the football and make plays. I don't see

623
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:41,719
Speaker 12: that being any different this year.

624
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 6: Is there one guy, either a new guy or a

625
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 6: returner that you're really looking forward to watching this season?

626
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 12: O fan Tremaine Edwards as a four mili linebacker. Myself,

627
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 12: I like watching play. He's very similar body type to mind.

628
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 12: He's six five hours only six four, but he runs,

629
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 12: he hits, he tacked, he gets takeaway as he puts

630
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 12: on the quarterback. I think he's a guy that could

631
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 12: take a big step in his defense as well. But

632
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 12: he's always been when he was in Buffalo like watching

633
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 12: him now like and more now in Chicago, and I.

634
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 6: Want to turn our attention to the Hall of Fame.

635
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 6: The Hall of Fame induction is coming up in just

636
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 6: a couple of weeks.

637
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 2: You went in.

638
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 6: Believe it or not, that with seven years ago does

639
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 6: not seem like it could have possibly been that long.

640
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 6: Here among the class is Jared Allen, who obviously, you

641
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 6: guys saw a lot of each other during your careers

642
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 6: in the NFC.

643
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 2: North tell us why Jared Allen belongs in the Hall

644
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 2: of Fame.

645
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 4: I was surprised to get all his first ballot.

646
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 12: Honestly, I know it's hard to get in, but Jared,

647
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 12: you know, you look at his sacks per game throughout

648
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 12: his career. I think he's number two in sacks per

649
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 12: game in NFL history, which is a big deal. I

650
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 12: want to say Reggie was number one. I could be

651
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 12: wrong with Bruce Smith. They played a long time, but

652
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 12: just his motor was unbelievable and they played Kansas City, Chicago, Minnesota,

653
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 12: and I think he ended up at Carolina. But his

654
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 12: motor just never stopped running. As a as a guy

655
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 12: who explaining with guys who play that way, he would

656
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 12: have been fun to be teammates with. But he just

657
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 12: never stopped going. You see the effort every game. Just

658
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 12: a super high motor. Great guy. Great got to be around,

659
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 12: and he always produced. You know, no matter where he

660
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 12: was at, his sack numbers are always up there, fumbles.

661
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 12: Just just the guy that made plays, not only in

662
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 12: the passing game, but he played the run as well.

663
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 4: So I'm happy for him. He deserved to be in there.

664
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 12: I wish you would have been a little earlier, but

665
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 12: we want you to get in know that stuff really matters.

00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 12: a little bit and kind of be it's kind of

00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 12: an intimate setting because it's not it's not a big boat,

682
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,440

Speaker 4: Thanks for having on. I appreciate it had off.

691
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 2: Barry Sanders fight. Sanders like to tackle.

692
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 4: I've been a better runner.

693
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 7: Have ever seen it?

694
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 5: You see Barry Sanders.

695
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 10: Make the moves he makes on this run you know

696
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 10: why this is the best running back, if not the

697
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 10: best player in the National Football League.

698
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 2: There goes your feet. He's got the ball, he's not running,

699
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 2: he's floating, he's not cutting.

700
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 8: Back, and now he's gone the very spright.

701
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 3: What's the wow?

702
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 4: You think you gotta tackle some of those bolts?

703
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 5: There's only one guy in this game that makes you

704
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 5: just saw that maybe.

705
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 4: A summer fresh yet what an incredible.

706
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 3: Rore by the best back of the National Football like

707
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 3: Barry Shanders. Yeah, and by the way, all these years later,

708
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 3: we still haven't seen anybody like this guy, fifty.

709
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 2: Seven year old Barry Sanders.

710
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 3: I don't know if he can maybe juke that way anymore,

711
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 3: but I'm sure he could probably break some ankles amongst

712
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 3: those in their fifties. Right now, Barry Sanders fifty seven

713
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 3: years old, he gets the cheesy insider's birthday music like

714
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 3: we all get. Congratulations Barry, Happy birthday to you, my friend.

715
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 3: Hey rookie, Hey rookies. Everybody get into the facility. We

716
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 3: had six teams report yesterday down to the bottom. Today

717
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 3: the Alliance and Broncos rookies joining the Chargers veterans.

718
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 2: Folks, I don't know if you noticed it, football season,

719
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 2: Baseball All Star Game is over, Judy.

720
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 5: I mean, we'll talk.

721
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 3: About the second half of your Mets and our Phillies

722
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 3: duking it out, but whatever, it's football season. That's the

723
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 3: point that I'm trying to make, Bucky Brooks as you're

724
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 3: back to join us. So let's talk about the rookies,

725
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 3: and let's talk about the Broncos rookies. Tell me which

726
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 3: Broncos rookie is going to have the biggest impact in never.

727
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 10: Well, Jday Baron, the do it all playmaker in the secondary,

728
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 10: is going to join past or ten and help this

729
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 10: defense go to another level, which is hard because they're

730
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 10: already a top five unit. But this guy can play

731
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 10: anywhere in the back end, where the out wide, in

732
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 10: the slot, if he had to play safety.

733
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 5: He can do all of those things.

734
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 10: And what it's going to do is allow Vance Joseph

735
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 10: to heat up opponents to a new level. And remember,

736
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 10: this is a team that really get out to the

737
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 10: pascity a lot of creative things up front. But now

738
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 10: because they can play various coverages in the back end,

739
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 10: he could turn up the notch even more.

740
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 5: Look for this defense to be even more.

741
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 10: Impactful as he get a big time playmaker to put

742
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 10: as a centerpiece in the secondary.

743
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 6: I am looking at another do it all playmaker and

744
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 6: that's our j hard Be the rookie running back. He's

745
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 6: not going to be there quite yet because he is

746
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 6: unsigned like so many other second rounders, but he is

747
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 6: a do it all guy.

748
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 2: He can run the ball, he can catch the ball

749
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 2: out of the backfield.

750
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 6: We know that Sean Payton would like to run the

751
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 6: ball a little bit more, and he is the kind

752
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 6: of guy who can take some of the pressure off

753
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 6: Bonnicks R. J.

754
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 2: Harvey when he gets there. Looking forward to watching him.

755
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 3: So I'll picture Gedday Baron signing a paper that was

756
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 3: his contract, which leaves only one first round pick yet

757
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 3: to sign in Cincinnati.

758
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 7: We shall see what happens with Tamar Stewart there.

759
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 3: He's not going back to school. Everybody relaxed on that,

760
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 3: all right. The Lions the other team with rookies that

761
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 3: reported to camp today. Bucky which Lions rookie is going

762
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 3: to have the biggest impact and does he sport a mullett.

763
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 5: A nice look about it.

764
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 10: Tate Ratledge coming from Georgia being able to tip in

765
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 10: for Frank Ragnow the Lion's office line is going under

766
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 10: a little bit of a makeover, has some older guys depart,

767
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 10: and so Ratledge and mouse Fraser both guys who have

768
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 10: opportunities to play.

769
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 5: And the thing that we know about the Detroit Lions,

770
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 5: for all the.

771
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 10: Glitz and glamour, the flash to was az that was

772
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 10: their offense, really their blue collar unit that relies on

773
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 10: the offensive line to set the tone and as long

774
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 10: as Ratlede is able to step in there man the pivot,

775
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 10: make sure all the protections are solid, but also give

776
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 10: them some of their attitude. In the running game, the

777
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 10: Detroit lines are going to be the Detroit lines, meaning

778
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 10: they're gonna bully people at the point of attack, they're

779
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 10: gonna throw the ball all over the yard, and they're

780
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 10: going to light up scoreboards. But it starts with the

781
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 10: offensive line, which is why I like Ratlits and even

782
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 10: Mouse Razers to come in and contribute.

783
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 6: All Right, I'm going to go a little bit off

784
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 6: track here and say the two rookies that I am

785
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 6: looking forward to are the new coordinators now in Detroit. Now,

786
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 6: John Morton is not technically a rookie offensive coordinator. He

787
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 6: was an offensive coordinator for one season with the New

788
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,280
Speaker 6: York Jets. He had nowhere near the level of talent

789
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 6: that he's inheriting with the Detroit Lions and Calvin Sheppard,

790
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 6: who is a rookie defensive coordinat they are replacing two

791
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 6: guys who went on to become head.

792
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 2: Coaches in the NFL.

793
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,919
Speaker 6: Huge expectations for that team, huge pressure on that team

794
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 6: to stay at the level that they were at. I

795
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 6: am looking forward to seeing how these two coordinators perform

796
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 6: this year.

797
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 3: Good answer, Judy, You got those creative juices flow, and

798
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 3: that's what you get this time of year. Once we

799
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 3: get into the season, that stuff all gets beaten down.

800
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,280
Speaker 3: You're just trying to survive. But right now a creative

801
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 3: answer to the question. Nice job, Judy Batizda and Bucky Brooks.

802
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:30,879
Speaker 2: Football is back.

803
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: Celebrate as teams across the league take the field for

804

809
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: in is going to be hot, hot, hot, which brings

810
00:35:55,040 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: us to another training camp competition. Keyp index I admit,

811
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: welcome back to the insiders, Tom Pilaicero, Judy Battista, Mike Garatfolo,

812
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 1: and Bucky Brooks.

813
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 2: Here's the way that this works. It's your first time

814
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 2: seeing it.

815
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,439
Speaker 1: Here we talk about one of the many battles we're

816
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,479
Speaker 1: looking forward to see him playing out in train camp

817
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: and the preseason. And then are panelists here tell you

818
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: exactly how hot is it? No, that's not a Jerry

819
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: Seinfeld set up. Mike, I want to come to you

820
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: on Saints quarterbacks.

821
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 2: How hot is it? Oh, it's about a seventy five,

822
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 2: that's what I put it.

823
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 7: But if you've ever been to Metaree in July or August,

824
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 7: you know.

825
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 2: It's not the heat, it's the humidity.

826
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 3: And frankly, look, I'd probably put this a little bit

827
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 3: higher if we expected more out of the Saints this year,

828
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 3: but I'll peg it right into seventy five and it's

829
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 3: going to be a heated competition now. Right now, Tyler

830
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 3: Schuck is part of that cluster of second round picks

831
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 3: that isn't signed yet and Frankly, he's one of the

832
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 3: reasons that there's a big hold up because he's got

833
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 3: a shot at a starting job right out of the gate.

834
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 3: You don't usually see that with a second round quarterback.

835
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 3: So a lot of folks around them are saying, hey,

836
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 3: he may have the leverage to really get more guaranteed.

837
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 2: Money than usually seeing these deals.

838
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 3: In the meantime, Spencer Rattler has recently been thrown with

839
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 3: some of the guys. Tyler Shuck had a throwing session.

840
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 3: It's like, my throwing session is better than your a

841
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 3: throwing session, all that stuff. Throw it all in the mix,

842
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 3: and Jake Hayn, we got ourselves a solid seventy five

843
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 3: down a metory.

844
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: All right, Judy, I come to you on something we'll

845
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 1: be talking about. I would venture to say, every single

846
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,399
Speaker 1: day we've got every preseason game for this team live

847
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: on NFL Network. There is one very big reason, really

848
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,240
Speaker 1: four reasons for that Browns quarterback battle.

849
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:42,280
Speaker 2: How hot this is a scorcher.

850
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 6: I give this a full one hundred out of one hundred.

851
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 6: This is not just one quarterback battle. It's two quarterback battles.

852
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 2: Really.

853
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 6: It's a battle between the veterans Flacco and Kenny Pickett,

854
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 6: and then a battle between the rookies Dylan Gabriel and

855
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 6: Shador Sanders. Not only do we not know who is

856
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 6: going to be the starting quarterback, we don't know what

857
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 6: order they're going to finish in. We don't know how

858
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 6: it might change during the season. A few things to

859
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 6: keep in mind here. The Browns have a very, very

860
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 6: tough first half of the schedule. Maybe that influences the decision. Obviously,

861
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 6: all eyes are going to be on Shador Sanders. We

862
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 6: will see if he can move his way up the

863
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 6: depth chart. But this is a solid one hundred out

864
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,720
Speaker 6: of one hundred in the dog Pound.

865
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 1: I requested a sound effect and that was definitely funnier

866
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: even than I was thinking. Bucky one for you too.

867
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: Packers wide receive. Okay, now, Packers wide receiver one.

868
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 2: How hot is this?

869
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 10: Well, Tom, if you've been begging for the Package to

870
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 10: take a receiver in the first round for like twenty years, because.

871
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 5: Said, there's one hundred out of one hundred. So the

872
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,280
Speaker 5: Packers finally succumbed to public pressure.

873
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 10: They take Matthew Golden from the University of Texas to

874
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 10: be their new number one receiver, and the competition is.

875
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 5: Thick for the position. You think Jayden Reed and Christian Watson,

876
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 5: some of the other guys that they have.

877
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 10: Christian Watson obviously he's injured, but some of the other

878
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 10: guys that they have battling for the spot.

879
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 5: Matthew Golden has to be the guy that is in

880
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 5: the mix, and so all odds on him, and I

881
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,879
Speaker 5: would be honest, this is self serving. He's weighing number

882
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 5: twenty two, my old number in Green Bay. So I

883
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 5: gotta Kevin have my guy the inside.

884
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,919
Speaker 10: Trent, because I want to see twenty two running around

885
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 10: making plays. But after we beg for the Packers to

886
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 10: finally do it when Aaron Rodgers was there, they waited.

887
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 5: After Aaron Rodgers was gone. They got to be the

888
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 5: hottest battle that we've seen. Jord Love getting a new

889
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 5: number one receiver.

890
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: Matthew Golden, don't see a ton of number twenty two

891
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: wide receivers. You know you just since Hee a whole

892
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 1: lot of one hundreds on the training camp battle heat index.

893
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 2: Bucky, Mike Judy, thank you very much. Still want to come.

Speaker 1: He once again he is no longer an Eagle, and

899
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: he doesn't sound overly thrilled about the logit.

Speaker 2: We'll explain after this. It's Ian Suders.

918
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: dancing with a football. Yeah, does he think that's football? Like,

919
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: I'm not certain, but you know that's where we stand here.

920
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 5: CJ.

921
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson, appearing on the Pivot podcast, recently asked why

922
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: he was traded from the Eagles and the Texans offered

923
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: up this quote, scared of a competitor, simple as that

924
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 1: second time as welcome you back to the insiders, Tom

925
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 1: Pellicero and Judy Batista as well as Mike Garafalo.

926
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 2: That CJ. Gardner Johnson has moved on from Philadelphia. You

927
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 2: see that quote, Judy, your thoughts.

928
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 6: I just went back and thought about when he was

929
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,439
Speaker 6: when Howie Roseman got of him, didn't he tweet something

930
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 6: like they probably won't win a Super Bowl without me,

931
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 6: Like it's just all part of the thing. It's I

932
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,720
Speaker 6: would miss him if I were a beat writer, CJ.

933
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, he left, he came back. They felt

934
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:13,959
Speaker 2: like they needed this wag.

935
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 3: Now they had to make it's a financial thing foremost,

936
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,359
Speaker 3: like they had to make tough decisions across the roster.

937
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,320
Speaker 3: And they get a guard back in Keny, hungry a

938
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,920
