Speaker 1: Football is back, or at least something loosely resembling football.
Speaker 1: It is April seventh. We will take what we can get.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 1: Off season programs are underway, and we're gonna break down
Speaker 1: the reasons for optimism about Caleb Williams and Drake May
Speaker 1: with new head coaches in year two. Gino Smith is
Speaker 1: officially a Raider, almost a month after we reported Gino
Speaker 1: Smith was officially a Raider. As Ian might say, now
Speaker 1: it's officially official. The contract's done, and Gino speaks and
Speaker 1: why he wanted to reunion with Pete Carroll and why
Speaker 1: he believes Las Vegas can compete Right now, the draft
Speaker 1: just seventeen short days away. All signs pointing toward cam
Speaker 1: Ward going number one to the Titans, which would mean
Speaker 1: the Browns are on the clock at number two. Could
Speaker 1: Cleveland shake up the rest of round one. We'll tell
Speaker 1: you what we know and not just keep guessing until
Speaker 1: ultimate leave. One of them has to be right. Welcome
Speaker 1: inside with the insiders alongside Judy Batista and Ian rappaport
Speaker 1: I am Tom pelicerro Azari, a Thomas Florida State cornerback,
Speaker 1: potential first round pick. He's gonna join the show in
Speaker 1: just a little bit tonight. Like I said, seventeen days
Speaker 1: until the draft. Land Zerline will be here breaking down
Speaker 1: his latest mock and exactly how far he had Shador
Speaker 1: Sanders falling this time. But then I mentioned football is back.
Speaker 1: If you love guys walking into a building and short videos,
Speaker 1: you're gonna love this show. Kayleb Williams in the house
Speaker 1: because Ben Johnson has a new head coach, gets a
Speaker 1: two week jumpstart on everybody else, the first time that
Speaker 1: he can truly begin within limitations the process of working
Speaker 1: with Caleb and the rest of that bears roster. Justin
Speaker 1: Field's also at work his new head coach, Aaron Glenn
Speaker 1: in the building with the Jets. Justin Field's coming over
Speaker 1: from Pittsburgh on a two year deal. He's about so
Speaker 1: much business. We couldn't even get the video of him walking.
Speaker 1: We did get the Patriots longer camera angles on this one.
Speaker 1: Drake may though, among those who reported you would think
Speaker 1: today a bunch of other guys you can see from
Speaker 1: an instance across the sidewalk right here. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: let that damper my enthusiasm because five teams are back
Speaker 1: to work. Today the Bears, the Patriots and the Jets,
Speaker 1: the Jaguars and the Raiders will begin their work on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: More on Las Vegas in just a little bit, but Judy,
Speaker 1: let's start out by talking about those Patriots back to
Speaker 1: work today, Mike Vrabel as the head coach, Josh McDaniels
Speaker 1: back in the fold as the offensive coordinator. It is
Speaker 1: all about getting Drake May headed the right direction. I
Speaker 1: think it is fair to say there is optimism after
Speaker 1: a couple of years the Robert Kraft said was the
Speaker 1: most difficult of his ownership, that maybe, just maybe now
Speaker 1: is the time to start bringing this thing for.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: If Robert Kraft speaking last week at the annual meeting
Speaker 3: is any indication, there's an awful lot of excitement anticipation
Speaker 3: about what Mike Rabel is going to do with this franchise.
Speaker 2: Let's be clear.
Speaker 3: The start of the off season program, they're not practicing, right.
Speaker 2: This is all about.
Speaker 3: Conditioning and meetings and you see this weightlifting, maybe running
Speaker 3: a little bit, but not anything that looks like a
Speaker 3: football practice. Really, this is an opportunity to get to
Speaker 3: know each other, the coaches and the players, certainly the
Speaker 3: Drake May Josh McDaniel's relationship is going to be very important.
Speaker 3: It is also an opportunity for new head coaches like
Speaker 3: Mike Rabel in particular, to set a tone, and there
Speaker 3: is certainly going to be a different tone in Foxborough
Speaker 3: than there was last season. Mike Rabel is expected to
Speaker 3: be much more of a task master, a harder coach,
Speaker 3: I think than we saw last season. They are certainly
Speaker 3: going to be more detail oriented. This is an opportunity
Speaker 3: for him to be in front of the players for
Speaker 3: the first time, a lot of new faces in that building.
Speaker 3: They did an awful lot of work in free agency.
Speaker 3: Certainly we are all going to pay the most attention
Speaker 3: to Drake May and Josh McDaniels, But I think more broadly,
Speaker 3: the tone that Mike Vrabel sets in these early days
Speaker 3: is going to be really critical to where this team heads.
Speaker 1: Patriots certainly put in work, as you saw in that
Speaker 1: has hastily cut together video right there, Ian, I feel
Speaker 1: like if they've edited together all my reps I get
Speaker 1: in the morning, it would also look like I got
Speaker 1: a heck of a pump in the New York Jets.
Speaker 1: Also back to work here, we're talking about the Patriots.
Speaker 1: They're uphill climb within that division that's been dominated for
Speaker 1: so many years now by the Buffalo Bills. The Jets
Speaker 1: have the same task in front of them here, a
Speaker 1: little different approach though in terms of how they're putting
Speaker 1: that thing together with off season workouts beginning today under
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn.
Speaker 4: By the way, I kind of like that Patriots video
Speaker 4: kind of pum me up a little bit, Watson. Everyone
Speaker 4: lift weight so quickly and so efficially.
Speaker 2: It's just like.
Speaker 5: This.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's like.
Speaker 4: When you want some bo make a video like a
Speaker 4: million Punches tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was like a rocky talk about I want
Speaker 1: a montage you.
Speaker 4: I've seen I've been in a hotel, gym or something
Speaker 4: with someone does that. It's very, very weird and off putting.
Speaker 4: But anyway, let's not talk about my last experience at
Speaker 4: the scouting combine anyway. Uh, Let's talk about the New
Speaker 4: York Jets instead. We showed a still of Justin Fields
Speaker 4: walking into the building. There's a lot going on with
Speaker 4: the Jets. There's a new general manager and Darren Mougey.
Speaker 4: There's a new head coach in Aaron Glenn.
Speaker 1: But so much of this is.
Speaker 4: About Justin Fields, because if you look at this Jets roster,
Speaker 4: Yes there were some signings, for instance, jeam In Sherewood,
Speaker 4: really nice signing, really good player, got in ans contract.
Speaker 2: He was there.
Speaker 4: You know, there were a lot of players that are
Speaker 4: already there. I mean, this is a talented team.
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 2: The record last year was bad.
Speaker 4: Quarterback play, Aaron Rodgers wasn't good. Head coach gets fired
Speaker 4: early in the season. The whole thing is a mess.
Speaker 4: There is, though a foundation. If you look at what
Speaker 4: the Jets did in free agency, it wasn't an overhaul.
Speaker 2: It was more tweaky.
Speaker 4: It was more sort of middle class free agent signings
Speaker 4: to kind of bolster the foundation.
Speaker 1: The biggest one.
Speaker 4: Was Justin Fields, and Justin Fields when he played last
Speaker 4: year with the Pittsburgh Steelers, was a good enough starter
Speaker 4: to lead them out to a winning record before he
Speaker 4: eventually got bench Russell Wilson that.
Speaker 2: It all went the wrong direction.
Speaker 4: Justin Fields is out to show that he is a
Speaker 4: bona fide starter in the NFL. If he is, if
Speaker 4: he is better than average, if he comes in and
Speaker 4: is a secure quarterback, this could be a really really
Speaker 4: fast turnaround for new head coach Aaron Glenn and the Jets.
Speaker 1: Two years, forty million, a strong bridge deal, though apparently
Speaker 1: they forgot to negotiate him a shirt. There's no way
Speaker 1: it was warm enough to justify the shirtless videos.
Speaker 2: But this again, this is what we're here for.
Speaker 1: On April seventh, so one spot in New York for
Speaker 1: starting quarterback is taken. The guy who competed with Justin
Speaker 1: Field beat him out lastyear. Russell Wilson now with the Giants,
Speaker 1: but could Schenor Sanders ultimately join him in New York.
Speaker 1: Here's what we know as of now. Again nothing official.
Speaker 1: Titans insists not decided, but all signs continued to point
Speaker 1: to cam Ward going number one, including Ian. The Titans
Speaker 1: decision to not even follow through and work out two
Speaker 1: of the four players privately that Brian Callahan told me
Speaker 1: just last week are among the four elite prospects in
Speaker 1: this class.
Speaker 4: Well, let's focus on one of those players, right, because
Speaker 4: if the Titans have the number one overall pick, presumably
Speaker 4: if they keep the pick, it'll be a quarterback. So
Speaker 4: really this is about Shador Sanders and several Titans people.
Speaker 4: We're at his workout. A really impressive Colorado showcase last week.
Speaker 4: Now mutually they decided Shador Sanders, his people, Tennessee Titans
Speaker 4: and their people that this workout didn't make a lot
Speaker 4: of sense, and there are obviously reasons for that. Signs
Speaker 4: continue as you mentioned a point to the Tennessee Titans
Speaker 4: drafting cam Ward as their number one overall pick. If
Speaker 4: that is a fact, that it is not a fact yet,
Speaker 4: but if that is a fact, in working out Shador
Speaker 4: doesn't really make a whole lot of spense sense, especially
Speaker 4: because you just did it in front of them a
Speaker 4: couple days ago. No one wants to waste anyone's time.
Speaker 4: That's why this decision was made. And if you needed
Speaker 4: further proof though of where the Titans are and what
Speaker 4: they are considering what they're leading, this was it. Yes,
Speaker 4: there is interest from teams in trading up to one.
Speaker 4: I just don't really get the sense of those have
Speaker 4: gained any traction. Tom and them deciding with Sue door
Speaker 4: Standers not to do his workout just put you know,
Speaker 4: more evidence that that is the case.
Speaker 3: If it's not cam Ward number one to the Titans,
Speaker 3: this is going to be one of the great fakeouts
Speaker 3: in NFL draft history. But that means that the draft
Speaker 3: essentially would start at number two with the Cleveland Browns
Speaker 3: and then the Giants at number three. This is going
Speaker 3: to be fascinating over the next seventeen days until we
Speaker 3: get to draft night. What direction the Cleveland Browns going,
Speaker 3: because they obviously need a quarterback too. They have Kenny
Speaker 3: Pickens on the roster who they got this offseason, but
Speaker 3: they could use a quarterback if they decide to draft one.
Speaker 3: Would they draft Shitdoor Sanders number two or would they
Speaker 3: go with the two superstars? One of the two superstars
Speaker 3: who are available there Travis Hunter, the two way player
Speaker 3: who Andrew Berry, the general manager of the Browns, has
Speaker 3: already indicated they view mostly primarily as a wide receiver,
Speaker 3: although Travis Hunter has made clear he wants to play
Speaker 3: both ways in the NFL. Or with the edge rusher
Speaker 3: Dull Carter from Penn State. Those two guys, if you
Speaker 3: assume that the Titans are going to go with a quarterback,
Speaker 3: those two guys would be on the board and available
Speaker 3: for the Browns. Would they pass on them to take
Speaker 3: a quarterback. That decision, of course, would then impact what
Speaker 3: the Giants do. They too need a quarterback, would they
Speaker 3: draft Shador Sanders or would they take whoever? The Browns
Speaker 3: don't take so many moving parts, a whole lot of indecision.
Speaker 3: It's going to lead to a really fascinating draft, Knight.
Speaker 1: And if Shdor Sanders does not go at two or three,
Speaker 1: the next team that even plausibly could take one will
Speaker 1: be the Raiders at six, although they already invested a
Speaker 1: third round picking a new contract. And the other quarterback
Speaker 1: who is now a member of the Raiders, that is
Speaker 1: Geno Smith for the first time, dawning that Raiders had
Speaker 1: officially signing his new contract and fair to say, ecstatic
Speaker 1: but reunited with his old head coach.
Speaker 7: I think there is unfinished business, and I think, you know,
Speaker 7: when when people think about my story, you know, Coach
Speaker 7: Carroll was a big part of that. You know, he
Speaker 7: gave me an opportunity when not many people would have.
Speaker 7: And he saw, you know, the hard work that I
Speaker 7: was putting in. He saw the things behind the scenes
Speaker 7: that I that I do that allowed me to get
Speaker 7: this opportunity. But to be able to play for him
Speaker 7: and again to be a part of this organization, it
Speaker 7: means everything to myself and my family. Uh.
Speaker 5: I was just telling them man, I'll run.
Speaker 7: Through a wall for him and he knows that, and
Speaker 7: I'll do the same for my teammates and for this organization.
Speaker 7: And so I just want that to be, you know,
Speaker 7: kind of who I am, and I want that to
Speaker 7: be the statement of who I am as the quarterback
Speaker 7: of this team.
Speaker 8: That I might hit that wall before you get there.
Speaker 1: I've seen it, and sometimes he's forget duty that. Gino
Speaker 1: Smith a few years ago was a thirty one year
Speaker 1: old scent, a journeyman, a backup, whatever you wanted to
Speaker 1: call him. Nobody thought Gino Smith would be sitting here
Speaker 1: now with his second team, in the second phase of
Speaker 1: his career, getting a starting opportunity. But you got that
Speaker 1: sense that this trade was about more than money for
Speaker 1: Gino Smith, who got exactly the same amount this year
Speaker 1: from the Raiders that he would have gotten on the
Speaker 1: new deal that the Seahawks offered him here. This was
Speaker 1: about reuniting with the guy who really was a big
Speaker 1: part of giving him that opportunity to revive his career.
Speaker 3: Well, it's a guy who led to his renaissance and
Speaker 3: who believed in him, and now who clearly believes in
Speaker 3: him still a second time in Pete Carroll. I think
Speaker 3: it's also indicative of what the Raiders want to get
Speaker 3: from Gino Smith. First of all, Pete Carroll mentioned stability,
Speaker 3: which certainly that franchise could use at that position after
Speaker 3: having a revolving door for the last few seasons. But
Speaker 3: also Pete Carroll is looking for a messenger of his culture.
Speaker 3: When they hired Pete Carroll, Loop was clear they wanted
Speaker 3: a culture center. That is Pete Carroll's game here, and
Speaker 3: Gino Smith is going to be the guy to deliver that.
Speaker 3: Pete Carroll talked about He'll represent us in a magnificent way,
Speaker 3: and he said, you know, he does things we believe in.
Speaker 3: He talked a lot about the way Geno prepares his
Speaker 3: work ethic, So clearly is not just looking for Geno
Speaker 3: Smith the quarterback. He is looking for Geno Smith the
Speaker 3: role model and the mentor and somebody who can deliver
Speaker 3: to the Raiders organization the type of player that Pete
Speaker 3: Carroll wants to have on his roster.
Speaker 1: If the Raiders had not made the Gino Smith trade,
Speaker 1: they would have a lot of pressure on them right
Speaker 1: now to go find a quarterback at number six. Instead,
Speaker 1: they have optionality, which could include giving him a guy
Speaker 1: in the backfield who might be able to help him out.
Speaker 1: Ashton Genty is going to be visiting the Raiders, as
Speaker 1: Ian reported earlier today, a guy Ian who has been
Speaker 1: connected in a lot of mock drafts a lot of
Speaker 1: speculation to landing right there in Vegas.
Speaker 4: Right, And you know this is one where of course,
Speaker 4: as Genty is visiting the Las Vegas Raiders, and you know,
Speaker 4: if you have a team that picks that early, you
Speaker 4: have a player, this dynamic who really could be a rare,
Speaker 4: rare top ten running back. Makes a lot of sense
Speaker 4: that the Raiders are visiting with them, also visiting with
Speaker 4: Quinn Ewers, who would be a potential option for them
Speaker 4: at quarterback maybe in the second round.
Speaker 2: We'll see what ends up happening there.
Speaker 4: But specifically to Genty, this certainly is one time that
Speaker 4: the fans, especially Raiders fans.
Speaker 2: Have grabbed hold of, right.
Speaker 4: I mean, he is, he's a fun player, he's a
Speaker 4: dynamic player. He is to kind of do everything running
Speaker 4: back you rarely get. And this is a team that
Speaker 4: does seem to be overall pretty solid, just don't really
Speaker 4: have that bellcal game breaking running back. So yeah, I
Speaker 4: would say, there's a lot of dot connecting here. There's
Speaker 4: a lot of fans being like, see, see, they're interested.
Speaker 4: This is obviously one to keep an eye. We don't
Speaker 4: know right now whether or not the Raiders will take
Speaker 4: Ash and genty, but I do know this, if they do,
Speaker 4: there'll be many Raiders fans who go, I told you so.
Speaker 1: Quin you were was also among the visits upcoming for
Speaker 1: the Raiders, a potential target, not at number six, but
Speaker 1: potentially maybe on Day two if they decided to add
Speaker 1: a young guy to that room with old Gino Smith
Speaker 1: who's still getting paid at this phase in his career.
Speaker 1: That's not the only pre draft visits in recent days
Speaker 1: and coming up here. Mason Taylor's son of Jason, visited
Speaker 1: the Chargers last Thursday. He's got a few more visits
Speaker 1: coming up, including the dad's old team in Miami, Carson
Speaker 1: Schwessinger having time with the Ravens, Joshua Farmer visiting these Steelers,
Speaker 1: and Savon Ravel Junior, really interesting prospect coming off of
Speaker 1: torn acl first round talent all Day visiting the Bills,
Speaker 1: the Colts, and the Vikings. Also going to be back
Speaker 1: for his combine recheck on that visit to Indianapolis, all
Speaker 1: signs pointing toward him being cleared shortly after the draft
Speaker 1: to get back out on the field. Jennings wants to
Speaker 1: throw gonna sail it down the field, but sorry, A
Speaker 1: Thomas put a nail in it.
Speaker 2: Hey see big time.
Speaker 1: Here come pressure black leg brawled it up near aside
Speaker 1: by courting.
Speaker 4: Good go.
Speaker 1: Zori. A. Thomas not just one of the most fun
Speaker 1: names to say in this NFL draft, but one of
Speaker 1: the top quarterbacks too. And our guest right now on
Speaker 1: the Insiders with me, Tom Pelasero and Ian Rappaport, seventeen
Speaker 1: eight days out from the draft. Here, where have you been?
Speaker 1: Where are you going? What all is happening in your
Speaker 1: life right now?
Speaker 6: Man, it's sir, So I've been training back in Tallahasseem.
Speaker 6: I had a well, I have a post pro day
Speaker 6: packet that I'm going by standing football shape. I'm going
Speaker 6: on team Team visits Team Zoom. So it's pretty busy,
Speaker 6: but at the end of the day, it's a blessing.
Speaker 4: So uh, before we get to what I was going
Speaker 4: to ask you, what teams you go into any any
Speaker 4: plans you can share coming up the next couple.
Speaker 6: Days yes, sir, So I've visited with the Stillers and
Speaker 6: I and the Saints.
Speaker 4: Okay, so you're a Florida State corner. Obviously someone who's
Speaker 4: going to be drafted early in this draft process. There
Speaker 4: have been a lot of very good Florida State corners
Speaker 4: I think about it. First in that comes to mind,
Speaker 4: of course, is Jalen Ramsey. What do you think of
Speaker 4: the lineage of Florida State corners and who did you
Speaker 4: kind of want to model your game.
Speaker 6: After most definitely, Now, I wouldn't say model, but just
Speaker 6: something that I can just learn, somebody that I can
Speaker 6: learn from and see what he's good at and see
Speaker 6: just the different types of tools that he uses that
Speaker 6: I can add.
Speaker 5: Into my toolbox.
Speaker 6: So it will most definitely be Jaalen Ramsey, just his
Speaker 6: his lenk and just his swagger and his confidence and
Speaker 6: how the opposing team may not even know that he's
Speaker 6: on the field just looking at them physically, but they
Speaker 6: can feel him out there. And so that's just one
Speaker 6: guy that I proub myself in watching as well.
Speaker 1: Somewhere out there, Dion Sanders just heard in say the
Speaker 1: first Florida State corner that comes to mind is Jalen
Speaker 1: Ramsey and shudder a little bit and let that well,
Speaker 1: let that slide. Literally one of the greatest players Cenvil history. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's jale Ramsey, also a really really good player. I
Speaker 1: know it was Aria though you're also you're also a
Speaker 1: Cam Newton fan. Did you ever have designs on playing
Speaker 1: the other side of the ball? Could we have seen
Speaker 1: a parallel universe where you're on offense?
Speaker 6: Yes, sir, I actually played both sides of the ball
Speaker 6: my whole life and growing up high school, I had
Speaker 6: offers at receiver actually, so the players and other people
Speaker 6: may not even know that.
Speaker 5: So I had sec offers to play receiver as well.
Speaker 6: But I just like the Lord led either play dB
Speaker 6: and I'm here now, so I'm thanksul.
Speaker 4: So you have a brother in the NFL, je Ye,
Speaker 4: who has has been playing for the Dallas Cowboys, obviously
Speaker 4: someone who can give you a little taste of what
Speaker 4: the NFL is like before you get there. What kind
Speaker 4: of a role model or example was he and then
Speaker 4: what advice has.
Speaker 5: He given you? Yes, my brother is somebody that I
Speaker 5: look up to.
Speaker 6: I don't have anybody that I idolize really outside of
Speaker 6: my two brothers.
Speaker 5: So I actually have an oldest brother.
Speaker 6: As well as in they ray, but one year since,
Speaker 6: since he's in the league, I was speak about him.
Speaker 5: But growing up, they said, they said the blueprint out
Speaker 5: for me. I didn't.
Speaker 6: I didn't really have to stress about anything about how
Speaker 6: I was going to figure things out. They already prepared
Speaker 6: me before I even entered those certain stages.
Speaker 5: That I've been in my life. And now I'm about
Speaker 5: to go to the league.
Speaker 6: The main thing that he's been telling me and uh
Speaker 6: and just reminded me the harp on is the same
Speaker 6: thing that got you here in the league is not
Speaker 6: is not what's going to keep you here. So you
Speaker 6: have to enhance your habits. You have to change your habits.
Speaker 6: You have to you have to watch who you're listening to.
Speaker 6: You have to watch who you're hanging out with, and
Speaker 6: uh and the and and another thing is the higher
Speaker 6: you go is the louder it gets. And so that's
Speaker 6: just one thing that he's been telling me in some
Speaker 6: that I've been harping on and something that I've been
Speaker 6: preparing and already telling myself before.
Speaker 5: I even make it there.
Speaker 1: So she also named checked your older brother. There the
Speaker 1: entire family ends with yay in the name. I'm very
Speaker 1: curious what is the backstory on that, particular the way
Speaker 1: that all your names are formatted with your brothers and sisters.
Speaker 6: Look, man, it got till I was about ten years
Speaker 6: old where I realized, like, allthough my siblings' names, Yeah,
Speaker 6: I'm just as lost as you are. But my mother
Speaker 6: always tells me. She always tells me like the meeting
Speaker 6: of it, but I always forget. So that's something that
Speaker 6: that I got to catch up with my old mom about.
Speaker 4: So all right, so after you get drafted, we figure
Speaker 4: out where you go. We'll get your mom and she
Speaker 4: can explain the whole thing to us. I like this idea, gotcha,
Speaker 4: I want to go. I want to go back to
Speaker 4: Florida State a little bit because Florida State has been
Speaker 4: obviously a traditional power for for the last several decades.
Speaker 4: This year, not as much, was a very difficult year
Speaker 4: to be a Florida State football player. You are still
Speaker 4: a top draft pick despite all that. How hard was
Speaker 4: that to go through and kind of keep your performance
Speaker 4: where it needed to be knowing of the struggles that
Speaker 4: the entire team went through.
Speaker 5: Yep, Honestly, man, it was tough. It was coming in
Speaker 5: a lot of agents try to hit you up, so.
Speaker 6: It's so easy to get distracted by that and be like, oh,
Speaker 6: we're losing. Oh this is happening. So I'm gonna just
Speaker 6: focus on myself. But man, before anything. Number one, I'm
Speaker 6: gonna follows christ And number two, I'm a servant, and
Speaker 6: so I had to serve my teammates like I had to.
Speaker 9: I could not feel my teammates, and so I knew I.
Speaker 6: Was a leader that the younger guys looked up to,
Speaker 6: and so I had I had to set that blueprint
Speaker 6: out and I had to set that example each and
Speaker 6: every day, whether we were losing or not. And so
Speaker 6: I felt like earlier on, I kind of felt I
Speaker 6: kind of gained my joy from winning and not and
Speaker 6: not the process of it all. And so I like,
Speaker 6: if you idolize winning, if you don't win, and you
Speaker 6: think you have a bad life, you think you have
Speaker 6: a bad age, you think you're a bad player. And
Speaker 6: so just the main thing, man, was just coming in
Speaker 6: and just being that servant and coming in the building
Speaker 6: with the same attitude, the same mindset, the same approach,
Speaker 6: so others can feed off of me because I knew
Speaker 6: others was looking to me as one of the leaders,
Speaker 6: and so if I came in frown and if I
Speaker 6: came in being selfish, then all the other ident I
Speaker 6: would have failed my teammates and it would have looked
Speaker 6: even worse out there. And so I feel like we
Speaker 6: put some good stuff on film, we just could not
Speaker 6: put a full game together. And so it's something that
Speaker 6: I look back on that I'm thankful that I went
Speaker 6: through though, because I grew as a person truly, I
Speaker 6: grew as a young man, and I truly kind of
Speaker 6: got a glimpse of really real life because we all
Speaker 6: have these expectations, we all have these goals that we set,
Speaker 6: but who are you if you don't achieve them?
Speaker 5: And so that was just the biggest thing that I learned.
Speaker 6: That was the biggest thing that I tried to harp
Speaker 6: on it, and that was the biggest thing that I
Speaker 6: preached to my brothers as well.
Speaker 1: That is tremendous perspective from a guy who is still
Speaker 1: only twenty years old as he gets ready to go
Speaker 1: into the NFL Draft. It's all upside for Azaria Thomas Man,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for being your best. Luck these
Speaker 1: next seventy to eighteen days here. Can't wait to see
Speaker 1: you in the NFL.
Speaker 5: Man, Yes, sir, thank you all man, God bless man, thank.
Speaker 2: You, thank you.
Speaker 5: Mary appreciate it.
Speaker 1: A lot more to come on this edition of The Insiders,
Speaker 1: including the guy who's dream of going number one came
Speaker 1: through a year ago. About this time, Caleb Williams and
Speaker 1: the Bears back in the building with their new head coach,
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson. Our Stacy Dales joins us from on the site.
Speaker 1: Right after this on The Insidives.
Speaker 3: Chicago Bears got their off season program underway today with
Speaker 3: new coach Ben Johnson. There is Caleb Williams arriving for work.
Speaker 3: Looks like a good day to go inside for meetings
Speaker 3: because it does not look like the best winter weather
Speaker 3: in Chicago or spring weather in Chicago today. We can
Speaker 3: check in with our own Chicago residents, Stacy Dale's and
Speaker 3: Mark Ross. Stacy, let's start with you first day under
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson. What do we expect the development of Caleb
Speaker 3: to look like?
Speaker 10: Hello, guys, I did snow today in Chicago, by the way,
Speaker 10: so that's fun.
Speaker 11: Temperatures are still increasing here in this part of the country.
Speaker 10: But listen it's a new era once again. I feel
Speaker 10: like I kind of say this almost every year, but
Speaker 10: the Bears really feel like they did some good things
Speaker 10: in their trench work, and those are the foundational pieces.
Speaker 10: But really today it's the start of strength and conditioning.
Speaker 10: So let's not get too overly excited, but it's also
Speaker 10: the start of being in person to develop language. I
Speaker 10: kind of look at the Chicago Bears like a new
Speaker 10: band forming, if you will. You've got your drummers, you've
Speaker 10: got your bass guitarists, you've got your electric guitarists. Maybe
Speaker 10: you've got an acoustic guitarist over there. You've got your
Speaker 10: lead singer and Caleb Williams. You've got somebody on the saxophone.
Speaker 10: You've got somebody on the trumbone. I mean, I could
Speaker 10: go on and on and on, and what they have
Speaker 10: to do is figure out what that language is to
Speaker 10: play their music. And that's what the Bears are doing
Speaker 10: right now at Hallis Hall.
Speaker 11: They're developing that language.
Speaker 10: So that they can speak in Unison and so that
Speaker 10: they can better understand this offensive philosophy that Ben Johnson
Speaker 10: wants to institute with his new staff.
Speaker 11: And really for Caleb Williams.
Speaker 10: That development started a couple of months ago when Ben
Speaker 10: Johnson was hired, and ultimately.
Speaker 11: Ben has alluded to this.
Speaker 10: They want to get him under center more, Mark and Judy,
Speaker 10: and we've seen him so often, even back to high
Speaker 10: school through his college days Oklahoma, us see so much
Speaker 10: of his play out of the shotgun, getting him under
Speaker 10: center more and trying to make him uncomfortable.
Speaker 6: Mark.
Speaker 10: I would say to get to get this group to
Speaker 10: figure out what he's comfortable doing.
Speaker 11: And Ben Johnson has always says, I need.
Speaker 10: To see the lens through the lens of the quarterback
Speaker 10: the offense, and that's what they're going to be doing.
Speaker 11: They want to get the ball.
Speaker 10: Out quickly, really like to use that play action like
Speaker 10: they did with Jared Goff and really keep the change
Speaker 10: moving with this new offense in Caleb Williams.
Speaker 12: Stacy, sorry about the snow and two hours ago, I
Speaker 12: was on the beach in Miami.
Speaker 2: Not to rub that in.
Speaker 12: But if we're sticking with the band references here, you
Speaker 12: know Ben Johnson and Paul McCartney and Caleb Williams, Is Lennon,
Speaker 12: John lenn and me, you know, get that centergy of Hey,
Speaker 12: I'm going to teach you how to do this. And
Speaker 12: for Caleb Williams year two, as you mentioned, it's about consistency.
Speaker 12: It's about learning the new offense and becoming a leader.
Speaker 12: You know, year what everyone just assumes you're the first
Speaker 12: pick in the draft. Everything should be easy. You should
Speaker 12: just step in and go crush it. You know, there's
Speaker 12: always exceptions. What Jayden Daniels did last year, but even
Speaker 12: growing pains for him. But Caleb Williams is about the consistency.
Speaker 12: You saw the flashes, you saw the big time flashes.
Speaker 12: It's about the consistency. And I'm sure Ben Johnson is
Speaker 12: doing everything possible. What's salivating to say, I can't wait
Speaker 12: to get my hands on this guy and design an
Speaker 12: offense to make him a perennial pro bowler and the
Speaker 12: MVP type Candy.
Speaker 8: All Right.
Speaker 3: At this time last year, we were pretty certain that
Speaker 3: the Bears were going to take Caleb Williams with the
Speaker 3: first overall pick at number nine. They got the receiver
Speaker 3: Romagensey as well. This year they picked tenth overall. Stacey,
Speaker 3: what direction you think they're going in?
Speaker 10: I think they could go in a number of directions.
Speaker 10: Who's going to be their keyboardist, right, who's their pianist? Like,
Speaker 10: what are we going to see added to this group?
Speaker 10: Because I mentioned when I started this that they really
Speaker 10: like what they've done in the trenches. It doesn't prohibit
Speaker 10: them from drafting there at number ten in the trenches,
Speaker 10: whether it's a pass rusher or it's an offensive lineman.
Speaker 10: We know right now they have seven picks currently in
Speaker 10: this draft. But the uniqueness of the Bears is they've
Speaker 10: got four through seventy two.
Speaker 11: They've got a first, they've got two seconds, and they've got.
Speaker 10: A third that is draft capital at the top, that
Speaker 10: is value. So they could very well move up if
Speaker 10: they so choose too and be aggressive. Maybe they love
Speaker 10: Abdul Carter. We'll see you, so none of us can
Speaker 10: really see. Mark, you know more about this than we
Speaker 10: do because you've done this. You've literally sat and looked
Speaker 10: at the big board of the team that you worked with,
Speaker 10: and that's always the fly on the wall that I
Speaker 10: would want to be. But it's going to be really interesting, guys,
Speaker 10: because obviously cam Warden, Shudeur Sanders are probably going to
Speaker 10: go pretty high. Travis Hunter is probably going to go
Speaker 10: pretty high. There's a chunk and cluster of players, though
Speaker 10: at different positions. Mark and Judy that could go in
Speaker 10: this top ten. I mean I could run through them,
Speaker 10: and Tyler Warren the tight end who pretty much ran
Speaker 10: the offense for the Penn State.
Speaker 11: And at allions a Mason Graham who can stop.
Speaker 10: The run equally as well as he can plug the
Speaker 10: middle and get after the passer in the middle of
Speaker 10: a defensive front.
Speaker 11: Will Campbell forget the arm.
Speaker 10: Size, the guy didn't really miss a start LSU in
Speaker 10: his career. And then Ashton Genty sitting there. So like
Speaker 10: I'm looking at really those four and I'm very curious
Speaker 10: to see how this board falls at the top of
Speaker 10: this draft and where that premium pick will be. For
Speaker 10: the Bears, because they're going to best available, that will
Speaker 10: be a value pick because they really think that they've
Speaker 10: done some good things in free agency to allow them
Speaker 10: to have that flexibility.
Speaker 12: Stacy, you mentioned the value, and that's you're leading up
Speaker 12: to the draft.
Speaker 2: It's always the value and the need of what you.
Speaker 12: Have, and that's why you have to be so important
Speaker 12: on the self evaluation of your own team. And in
Speaker 12: free agency they had a glaring need and Ben Johnson
Speaker 12: coming from the Lions with that offensive line. He said,
Speaker 12: we are going to go attack this glaring need and
Speaker 12: free agency and not lead it. Leave it up to
Speaker 12: the hands in the draft of fine players. I hate
Speaker 12: to help Caleb Williams. So they did a masterful job
Speaker 12: with that. That being said, I think that is still
Speaker 12: wide open if a Will Campbell gets to ten or
Speaker 12: go another direction with oh well, also, the head coach
Speaker 12: likes to form the team in his image. Well, I
Speaker 12: had the dynamic due of Montgomery and Gibbs, I've got
Speaker 12: the DeAndre Swift, maybe an Omarion Hampton, the running back
Speaker 12: from North Carolina. Well our defense really isn't we need
Speaker 12: some help there for Montewat we can go pass rusher.
Speaker 12: So I think a lot of the positions are still
Speaker 12: on the table for the Bears and to really let
Speaker 12: the draft fall to them there and Stacy, as you
Speaker 12: mentioned after the third pick, you of the certainties of
Speaker 12: Pam Ward and now Duel Carter and Travis Hunter. It
Speaker 12: could go so many different ways. There's a cluster of
Speaker 12: about twenty five players that could be any sort of
Speaker 12: different ways and orders on teams draft boards. So the
Speaker 12: Bears have a lot at their disposal and a lot
Speaker 12: of good players. I think they'll have a chance to
Speaker 12: choose from to match the value and the need.
Speaker 2: Judy.
Speaker 3: Awful lot of intrigue at the top of the draft,
Speaker 3: and the Bears are certainly squarely in the middle of it.
Speaker 3: Stacey Mark, thank you so much.
Speaker 1: Shador Sanders finally got his opportunity to perform in front
Speaker 1: of NFL scouts and coaches at the Colorado Showcase on Friday,
Speaker 1: and with the Titans and Sanders camp mutually agree to
Speaker 1: cancel his private workout. That is just about a rap
Speaker 1: on one of the fascinating draft prospects pre draft process.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Insiders, Tom Pelli, Serai and Rap
Speaker 1: Point join now by our guy land Zerline Lancey. Watch
Speaker 1: that pro day. There's been a lot of debate about
Speaker 1: what we saw from Shador Sanders in that. Tell me
Speaker 1: what you've seen now and also how would impact to
Speaker 1: where Shador is going in your latest mock draft.
Speaker 9: Just doesn't impact anything for me.
Speaker 13: I mean, you know, I've only seen one bad quarterback
Speaker 13: pro Day and that was, I mean really bad when
Speaker 13: that was Teddy Bridgewater kind of famously back in that draft.
Speaker 9: But other than that, I really haven't seen a bad one.
Speaker 13: Guys are throwing without pressure, They're throwing on air to
Speaker 13: wide receivers are comfortable with. And I understand it you
Speaker 13: do that instead of the combine. But I think Chador
Speaker 13: showed who he was. I mean, he's an accurate quarterback
Speaker 13: in general. I thought most of his throws were fairly accurate.
Speaker 13: I think, you know, with Shador Sanders, it's really not
Speaker 13: about he's an accurate quarterback.
Speaker 9: It's not gonna be about the arm strength.
Speaker 13: He's got kind of an average arm and he's not
Speaker 13: a guy's going to make a ton of plays off
Speaker 13: platform on the NFL level. But what you love about
Speaker 13: him is the personality. You like the way he can
Speaker 13: handle the moment, The composure he has in the pocket,
Speaker 13: I think really resonates with a composer he's going to
Speaker 13: have on an NFL stage. Now, you still have to
Speaker 13: be good enough, but I think what Sanders, what we're
Speaker 13: seeing with him is, look, he's either going to go
Speaker 13: three to the Giants or he's gonna slide. I think
Speaker 13: that's the that's basically one or the other right now.
Speaker 13: It's an if then statement, And so I basically think
Speaker 13: what we're doing is keep an eye on Shador Sanders
Speaker 13: at number three, and if he doesn't go number three,
Speaker 13: then he may need to buckle up a little bit.
Speaker 9: But good pro day didn't move the needle for me
Speaker 9: one way or another.
Speaker 4: Let's talk about another player, Liane, who was at that
Speaker 4: not Pro Day, but at that Colorado showcase. Travis Hunter
Speaker 4: didn't do dB drills, didn't run a forty, did run
Speaker 4: routes for Shador Sanders, which was interesting. What did you
Speaker 4: make of Travis Hunter's performance at the showcase.
Speaker 1: Well, first of.
Speaker 13: All, good teammate, you know, to go out there and
Speaker 13: run routes for his quarterback.
Speaker 9: I think that shows who Travis Hunter is. He's a
Speaker 9: good teammate. Number two, he.
Speaker 13: Wants to catch passes. He wants to be a wide
Speaker 13: receiver and he wants to be a cornerback. It's not
Speaker 13: a lot of talk when Travis Hunter says that he
Speaker 13: wants to do both things.
Speaker 5: And I think what's.
Speaker 13: Intriguing is in all of our mock drafts, we're kind
Speaker 13: of putting him either two with Cleveland or three with
Speaker 13: the Giants for the most part. Well, if he goes
Speaker 13: to the Giants, I think he's a for sure cornerback
Speaker 13: if he goes to the Browns, though, I think it's
Speaker 13: kind of interesting because you might see him play more
Speaker 13: receiver than cornerback potentially in the first year.
Speaker 9: Now, can he do both? Yes, he can do both.
Speaker 13: Will he hold up well physically? I think it's going
Speaker 13: to be tough over the length of an NFL schedule,
Speaker 13: But I think what Travis Hunter is showing you is
Speaker 13: that he wants to do both. He means it, and
Speaker 13: he's ready to do both. And I think he can
Speaker 13: do both. I think it's a question of who drafts him,
Speaker 13: the Giants or the Browns. That could have a big
Speaker 13: determination on how many reps he gets at either position.
Speaker 1: Lance not a lot of questions at Ashton genty, one
Speaker 1: of the top prospects in this draft, but with running
Speaker 1: backs you never know in terms of the positional value
Speaker 1: and when they actually go. Where do you have him
Speaker 1: in your latest month?
Speaker 13: So my latest, monk, I have him at number ten
Speaker 13: with the Bears. But listen, the question is for me,
Speaker 13: does he go six to the Raiders. If he goes
Speaker 13: six to the Raiders, then that sets in motion a
Speaker 13: lot of different dominoes falling in different directions. When I
Speaker 13: went Jalen Walker at six. You know, it's just you
Speaker 13: just kind of decide who is willing to take that
Speaker 13: running back early, and I had him going to the Bears,
Speaker 13: and I think they'd be a great fit for both
Speaker 13: parties if he is able to fall to ten. For me,
Speaker 13: he's the best player in this draft purely, the guy
Speaker 13: that I believe has the best chance to go get
Speaker 13: that gold jacket by the end of his career.
Speaker 9: I think he is. I think he's a tremendous talent.
Speaker 13: I think what he does in terms of being able
Speaker 13: to control games is very, very important.
Speaker 9: And so you know, when you.
Speaker 13: Look at where he could fall, you kind of want
Speaker 13: to look for teams that have young quarterbacks because a
Speaker 13: good running game takes a lot of pressure off young quarterbacks.
Speaker 13: So I think ten would be an incredible spot form
Speaker 13: But you know, we're walking him there a lot either
Speaker 13: six or ten that could lead a team that really
Speaker 13: loves him to shoot above those numbers and go try
Speaker 13: to trade up ahead of the Chicago Bears to grab
Speaker 13: genty if he does fall past six.
Speaker 4: Now let's talk about draft day trades. You know, Daniel
Speaker 4: Jeremiah does a mock draft and in his mock no
Speaker 4: trades until the last mock, you say hogwash, nonsense, you
Speaker 4: like trades. You have one involving Jackson Dart and the Saints.
Speaker 1: Tell us where you see him going?
Speaker 13: Bully bully, I say hogwash all those old sivin terms.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, for me, I think Jackson Dart is
Speaker 9: the real wild card here.
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart.
Speaker 13: Let's talk about the Saints liking Jackson Dart, the Steelers,
Speaker 13: and I know the Steelers recently had him in for
Speaker 13: a visit. Although I think that's an interesting fit with
Speaker 13: the Steelers having so many vertical targets like like DK
Speaker 13: metcalf now and and Pickens, and then you've got a
Speaker 13: quarterback who I think has to struggle a little bit
Speaker 13: to push it with velocity down the field. But Jackson
Speaker 13: Dart is a real wild card in this one, and
Speaker 13: I had the Saints trading up to number thirty two
Speaker 13: to grab him. But there's a lot of talk that
Speaker 13: he could be the second quarterback off the board here.
Speaker 13: So Jackson Dart is one to really keep an eye on.
Speaker 13: I think he goes in the first I'm just not
Speaker 13: sure where it's going to be. Is it going to
Speaker 13: be a trade end spot. Is it going to be
Speaker 13: a trade back spot or is it going to be
Speaker 13: somebody that really shocks and surprises us. That's going to
Speaker 13: be the question. And another guy he didn't ask me
Speaker 13: about it, but I think the battle between Shador Sanders,
Speaker 13: Jackson Dart and then Tyler Tyler shut from Louisville, who
Speaker 13: you guys are spoken with, I think that is a
Speaker 13: really really interesting battle for who the second and third
Speaker 13: quarterbacks are off the board.
Speaker 1: That's always great stuff. Sure, we'll talk to you again.
Speaker 1: My one request next time we have you on, I
Speaker 1: want the entire segment in the fog Horn Leghorn voice just.
Speaker 9: For you, Tom. I've got it in my bag for.
Speaker 1: You, full draft reviews in that voice next time we're
Speaker 1: doing at Lance. Thank you very much.
Speaker 3: Gino Smith and made it official today, finally signed his
Speaker 3: extension with the Las Vegas Raiders that of course reunites
Speaker 3: him with head coach Pete Carroll. We heard earlier in
Speaker 3: the show from Gino talking about Pete. Let's hear from
Speaker 3: Pete talking about Geno.
Speaker 8: Well, he's going to bring us great stability in belief
Speaker 8: in the kinds of things that we stand for. His
Speaker 8: habits are so stellar. The way he works, the way
Speaker 8: he looks at the game, the way he looks at
Speaker 8: the challenges of it all is exactly in line with
Speaker 8: the way we think, and so he'll represent us in
Speaker 8: magnificent fashion. I think it gives us instant stability at
Speaker 8: a crucial spot. The history that we have and my
Speaker 8: understanding of g and how to help him be the
Speaker 8: best he can be. And he knows how to bring
Speaker 8: out the best in our system because he'll stand for
Speaker 8: the competitiveness and the things that we believe in.
Speaker 5: It's just a.
Speaker 8: Great fit and I'm so thrilled to this has been coming,
Speaker 8: but today feels like the real deal.
Speaker 3: Well, Pete and Gina are going to get right to work.
Speaker 3: Mark Ross back with us on the Insiders because their
Speaker 3: off season program begins in Las Vegas tomorrow. What do
Speaker 3: you expect the emphasis to be there, Mark.
Speaker 12: Well, of course, with Gino and Pete being together, they
Speaker 12: know what they will expect from one another. It's not
Speaker 12: a situation where you have a new head coach going
Speaker 12: or drafting a pick, a first round pick, or bringing
Speaker 12: in a freeze if they don't know. Gino knows what
Speaker 12: to expect from Pete coaching him, and Pete knows what
Speaker 12: they expect from Gino as far as working, and don't
Speaker 12: forget the owner there, Tom Brady might be able to
Speaker 12: dip into some meetings or some practices and give his
Speaker 12: advice to Gino.
Speaker 2: And Geno's the ultimate professional.
Speaker 12: And Judy, if you remember, it's just so ironic and
Speaker 12: unbelievable that Geno Smith when we were with the Giants,
Speaker 12: we started him against the Raiders when they were in Oakland,
Speaker 12: which caused the windfall of a lot of people getting fired.
Speaker 12: So it's just so unreal that now he is starting
Speaker 12: for the Raiders and got a couple of Pro bowls
Speaker 12: under his belt, and it's got that whole new contract.
Speaker 2: To say that he is the man.
Speaker 12: So I'm supposed to root for people at my job,
Speaker 12: and I root for Gino Smith is because I know
Speaker 12: all that he went through, and Judy, I think you
Speaker 12: might covered that a little bit there back in the day.
Speaker 3: I did, and also his years that the jets Ie
Speaker 3: two rooted for Gino Smith. All right, they are still
Speaker 3: doing a bit of rebuilding though in Las Vegas. They've
Speaker 3: got the number six pick in the first round of
Speaker 3: the draft, where you think they're going to head with
Speaker 3: that pick.
Speaker 12: Well, you know, we had it on earlier that they
Speaker 12: brought in Aston Gent And it all doesn't always mean
Speaker 12: that that's your guy. If you bring some win a
Speaker 12: lot of smoke screens, but it does for me make
Speaker 12: too much sense, and that Assden Genty by far, in
Speaker 12: my view, is the best running back in the draft.
Speaker 2: Can be an ultimate playmaker.
Speaker 12: And what we learned from last year with running backs,
Speaker 12: it's don't draft a running back or sign a running
Speaker 12: back to save your franchise. If you bring a great
Speaker 12: running back onto a team with an established quarterback, as
Speaker 12: we saw with Saguan going to the Eagles, Dereck Henry
Speaker 12: going with Lamar Jackson, then it takes it to another level.
Speaker 12: So the Raiders and Pete Carroll have to be looking
Speaker 12: at it as Esson Genty is my Marshawn Lynch. I've
Speaker 12: got my Russell Wilson and Gino Smith and now I
Speaker 12: can go build my offense around that. And when Pete
Speaker 12: Carroll won the Super Bowl with Super Bowl with the Seahawks,
Speaker 12: it was Doug Ball wins and the Golden Tates of
Speaker 12: the world. So okay, now the rest of the draft
Speaker 12: go find me some receivers later on the draft to
Speaker 12: pair with Brock Bauers genty and Gino Smith.
Speaker 3: That would be a fun pick. Mark Ross, thank you
Speaker 3: so much for joining us. And when we return, if
Speaker 3: you are Detroit Lions fan, stick around because we have
Speaker 3: a site for sore eyes for you. There's a teaser.
Speaker 3: Aiden Hutchinson is involved. Join us when we come back.
Speaker 1: Chris McCaffrey. Everyone looking forward to seeing him back on
Speaker 1: the field soon. But for now, Ell, he's got a
Speaker 1: pregnant Olivia Coppo and he's got his jersey being retired
Speaker 1: at his high school alma mater, Valor Christian in Colorado.
Speaker 1: Congratulations to Christian. The Rams announcing plans today for a
Speaker 1: fifty two acre development in Warner Center in Woodland Hills, California.
Speaker 1: It's going to be called Rams Village at Warner Center.
Speaker 1: Entering their tenth year now in Los Angeles. Sean mcveigu
Speaker 1: joked at one point that they promised him when he
Speaker 1: was hired back in twenty seventeen. They were in temporary facilities.
Speaker 1: Temporary became a nearly decade long stay. But Woodland Hills
Speaker 1: here they come pretty futuristic looking right there and how
Speaker 1: about this a site for sore eyes. Aiden Hutchinson running
Speaker 1: full speed on a field again, changing directions right here.
Speaker 1: Probably not surprising because Aid Hutchinson thought if the lines
Speaker 1: had made the Super Bowl, he had a chance to
Speaker 1: play in that game. But Ian, it's almost like if
Speaker 1: we zoomed the camera, you can see a sign at
Speaker 1: the other end saying forty million a year. Run this way,
Speaker 1: forty million dollars a year, A contract that's probably coming
Speaker 1: soon and later. For Aden Hutchinson short term, it looks
Speaker 1: like he's just already to get back on the field.
Speaker 4: I mean, I have two thoughts watching this one. He
Speaker 4: was adamant that if they made the Super he would
Speaker 4: have played. Would he I have no idea, but I
Speaker 4: would have liked to see if that actually took place.
Speaker 4: The other thing, Judy is Aiden Hutchinson's gonna be very rich.
Speaker 4: We've seen several pass rushers get rich this offseason. He
Speaker 4: doesn't have to do anything else except show he is healthy.
Speaker 4: And I don't know, looks like he's pretty healthy to me,
Speaker 4: just saying.
Speaker 3: I would just say, didn't we see the last video
Speaker 3: was like two months ago, and I thought that looked
Speaker 3: pretty good. I am certainly no running expert, no physiologists,
Speaker 3: but this looks so much better. He is running so
Speaker 3: smoothly and changing direction. It's great to see. Pay him
Speaker 3: all the money awesome. Can't wait to see Aiden Hutchinson
Speaker 3: back on the field.
Speaker 1: There was all this speculation from fans and media this offseason.
Speaker 1: I get a trade for a big time pass rusher.
Speaker 1: This is your acquired big time pause rusher. A guy
Speaker 1: got injured in Week six last year. Aiden Hutchinson is
Speaker 1: your guy. Whoever's on the other side is probably gonna eat,
Speaker 1: just via osmosis, the process of elimination. We're back tomorrow,
Speaker 1: seven of you at Measter time. See you
