1
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 1: Welcome inside with the insiders alongside Judy Batista. I am

2
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: Tom Pellicero, and we've got breaking news. Within the past

3
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: few minutes. Quarterback purgatory for everybody covering it is now over,

4
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: at least in one phase, because Russell Wilson is headed

5
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: to the New York Giants, the sides agreeing to terms

6
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: within the past few minutes on a one year, ten

7
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: point five million dollar contract. Wilson can earn up to

8
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 1: twenty one million dollars with incentives for the Giants, who

9
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: already signed Jameis Winston. They've got Tommy Devido on an

10
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: exclusive rights tender. They still in the number three pick,

11
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: but I am told Russell Wilson heads to New York

12
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: as the starter. This obviously has a substantial ripple effect

13
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: across a lot of different places for the Giants. It's

14
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: very straightforward, as Darius Slayton posted just a short time

15
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: of go on social media, Giants Country, Let's ride. It's

16
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: been quite a journey here, Judy, for Russell Wilson, going

17
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: from Seattle to the two seasons in Denver with two

18
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: different coaches, to one season in Pittsburgh. He finished last

19
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: season as the starting quarterback.

20
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: For the Steelers.

21
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: They went into the playoffs, but they played poorly down

22
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: the stretch, as were welcome in Bucky Brooks and Brian

23
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: Baldinger to the conversation as well and Judy. The Steelers

24
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: pursued justin Fields. They pursued on some level, Matthew Stafford.

25
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: They looked at a lot of different options that were

26
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: not Russell Wilson. In the end, it appeared going back

27
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh just wasn't an option. He decided to take

28
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 1: his best shot to start, and that is in New York.

29
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 3: Right, it seemed like Russell Wilson had two options, the

30
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 3: New York Giants and the Cleveland Browns, and he chose

31
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 3: the New York Giants. Now, you talked about the ripple effect,

32
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 3: there's a lot of ripples here. This obviously takes the

33
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 3: New York Giants out of the Aaron Rodgers sweepstakes, which

34
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 3: means looks like Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh steel are

35
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 3: going to be a match here. We will see how

36
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 3: long that takes to get done. But that seems to

37
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 3: be Rogers most likely landing spot. Now, it doesn't necessarily

38
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 3: mean that the Giants won't draft a quarterback in the

39
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 3: draft next month.

40
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 4: It just means they.

41
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 3: Don't go into it thinking they absolutely have to draft

42
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 3: a quarterback. If there's one there that they love, obviously

43
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 3: they can take them, but they don't have to.

44
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 4: And that's a much better.

45
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 3: Position to be in than the position they were in

46
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 3: a few hours ago when they had Tommy DeVito and

47
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 3: Jamis Winston on the roster and you weren't really sure

48
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 3: who the starting quarterback was going to be. Now they

49
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 3: know who the starting quarterback is going to be, and

50
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 3: if the guy they think is the quarterback of their

51
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 3: future is available to them when the draft starts, great,

52
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 3: If not, they keep going and take the best player

53
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 3: available to them. It is a much better position for

54
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 3: the New York Giants right now, and they will have

55
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 3: a veteran quarterback in Russell Wilson.

56
00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: You go back to the end of last season.

57
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: If they don't beat the Colts in Week seventeen, they're

58
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: the ones sitting there with the number one pick. Maybe

59
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: cam Ward's telling them I'm solidifying this right now instead, Baldi,

60
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: the Giants had to figure out how we're going to

61
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: stabilize this position, keep optionality when it comes up to

62
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft, adding Jameis Winston I was clearly a

63
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: backup contract with Russell Wilson, though you're getting a guy

64
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: who slots in immediately as your starter. What are they

65
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: getting in Russell Wilson and how he's going to fit

66
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: into Brian Dable and Mike Kafkas scheme.

67
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 5: Well, I mean he's going to learn his fourth offense

68
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 5: now in basically four years, so he's got the capability

69
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 5: of just being able to get the information in, get

70
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 5: it out, get it disseminated in his fourteenth year here,

71
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 5: They've got confidence at that position that they didn't have

72
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 5: two weeks ago after signing Jamis In Russell, I think

73
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 5: they're probably pretty thrilled that they don't feel any pressure

74
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 5: right now to have to take Shador Sanders if he

75
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 5: was available at number three. I think they feel good

76
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 5: about that. I think they're still in play to take

77
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 5: a quarterback in this draft. They still have to develop one.

78
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 5: Both these quarterbacks are longer into their careers. They have

79
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 5: almost three hundred career starts between Russell and Jameis, But

80
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 5: I think it takes them out of that pressure position.

81
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 5: I feel like they got to move to get shador

82
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 5: Or if he was available at three to take them

83
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 5: if cam Ward is truly the number one pick to

84
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 5: Tennessee like we might think right now. So I think

85
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 5: it kind of calms things down at that position, and

86
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 5: it was a mess right before they signed Jamis, you.

87
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 6: Know, Baldy.

88
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 7: I think there are a few things that play when

89
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 7: it comes to the Giants making this move. One, you

90
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 7: have a front office and head coaching staff that are

91
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 7: under a win now premise the odds of getting the

92
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 7: rookie up to snuff to be able to play winning

93
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:45,799
Speaker 7: football right away.

94
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 6: Look, it's a long shot.

95
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 7: What we saw from Jade Daniels was a nominally that's

96
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 7: an outlier, not the norm when you have a rooky

97
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 7: starting quarterback. So for Joe Shane from Brian day Ball,

98
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 7: it's much easier to craft an offense and to craft

99
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 7: and win in formula with Russell Wilson or Jameis Winston

100
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 7: or a season vet in place. It also may let

101
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 7: you know that when they're trying to read the tea

102
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 7: leaves and excess who could be available at three, maybe

103
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 7: they feel like both of those quarterbacks could be off

104
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 7: the board.

105
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 6: A lot of times when you're making moves.

106
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 7: And you're trying to assess, Okay, can we sit and

107
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 7: pick and do those things.

108
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 6: You're listening, you're.

109
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 7: Talking, you're having conversations, and maybe the feedback they got

110
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 7: maybe should do it is gone at two a cam

111
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 7: what isn't going to be available. So we need to

112
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 7: make sure that we have a starting quarterback ready to play,

113
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 7: and we need to make sure we snap up Russell

114
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 7: Wilson before he make his way back to Pittsburgh or

115
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 7: even to Cleveland as a bridge quarterback for either one

116
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 7: of those teams.

117
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: You go back a year ago at this time, Russell

118
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: Wilson took two free agent visits. One of course was

119
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: to the Steelers, the other was to the Giants. He

120
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: wanted to go and visit them. He was intrigued by

121
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: the idea of playing in New York. Instead, he ends

122
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: up in Pittsburgh, where again he had an injury that

123
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,119
Speaker 1: occurred the day before training camp. Once he was healthy,

124
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: he took over for Justin fields As to start playing

125
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: pretty well that first however, many games out of the gate,

126
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: but the entire offense crumbled toward the end. That's why

127
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: the Steelers are now looking at another quarterback, maybe coming

128
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: from New York. Aaron Rodgers, as Judy mentioned, this would

129
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: seem to be his most logical landing spot. He remains

130
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: on our list of the notable remaining free agents out there.

131
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: I did check.

132
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: I'm told there's no deal in place right now with

133
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers. The sides have agreed to

134
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: contract parameters weeks ago. So if and when Judy Aaron

135
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: Rodgers is willing to commit to the Steelers, then the

136
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: financial piece of this should not be complicated. You have

137
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: to wonder at this point for Aaron Rodgers, knowing that

138
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: some of these other musical chairs have filled, does this

139
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: hasten whatever process he's going through here, even though the

140
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: Steelers are waiting for him to basically say, my options

141
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: are the Steelers or weight And there seems to be

142
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: some mounting pressure even within that Steelers locker room. Hey,

143
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: we'd love to have a decision to know who we're

144
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: rolling with in twenty twenty five.

145
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 3: As we've been saying now for several weeks. Aaron Rodgers

146
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 3: marches to his own drummer and on his own timeline.

147
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 3: So does this push him to make a decision tomorrow

148
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 3: or make an announcement tomorrow?

149
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 4: I don't think, not necessarily.

150
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 3: I do think this closed off one door with the Giants,

151
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 3: and maybe that was the door that he was less

152
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 3: likely to walk through anyway. But now his choices are

153
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 3: what they always seem to be most likely to be,

154
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 3: and that was the Pittsburgh Steelers. Or he continues to

155
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 3: wait to see if the Vikings change their mind. It

156
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 3: seems clear that the Vikings right now are going to

157
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 3: go forward with JJ McCarthy and that Aaron Rodgers is

158
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 3: out of the picture. But perhaps he says, you know what,

159
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 3: I'm just going to wait. I'm going to see if

160
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 3: maybe things change in the summer. Maybe they don't love

161
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 3: what they're seeing from JJ McCarthy and they want to

162
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 3: give Aaron Rodgers another look, or maybe another opportunity somewhere

163
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 3: comes up. Maybe there's an injury that opens a possibility

164
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 3: for him. He could still wait. I agree with you

165
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 3: some of KEM. Hayward's comments earlier this week suggests that

166
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 3: there's some in patients, at least among Pittsburgh Steelers players

167
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 3: for a decision, but the Steelers have not applied any

168
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 3: pressure so far to Rogers. I think he's still going

169
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 3: to take his time and he'll announce it when he

170
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 3: wants to announce it.

171
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 2: Baldy, tell me this.

172
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: You watched Aaron Rodgers last season obviously barely played. It

173
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: was four snaps only back in as you take a

174
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: look at the first round quarterbacks and Bucky burk Smock draft,

175
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: I want to follow up really quickly here. You saw

176
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers in the middle of that season. Let's say

177
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: it is a Jackson Dark Let's say it is a

178
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback coming into the building. If it's Aaron Rodgers

179
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: right now, what are the Steelers put it onto the

180
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: field relative to the options of rolling out there with

181
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: somebody who we haven't seen in an NFL game.

182
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 5: Well, I mean Ana Rodgers was in such a hurry

183
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 5: to get rid of the football last year. He just

184
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 5: didn't trust either the protection or his ability to move

185
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 5: and scramble bay throws. And I just thought there was

186
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 5: a number of games last year, going back to Minnesota,

187
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 5: over in London, going to see going to a number

188
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 5: of games at the end of the Denver game where

189
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 5: he couldn't score a touchdown even though they had first

190
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 5: to go up to one, where he could not make

191
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 5: the plays at the end of games to win games,

192
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 5: and that's something that we always took for granted for

193
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 5: a long time. That's on a resume and so is

194
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 5: that a product of age? Is that a product of

195
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 5: him getting banged up early in the season and trying

196
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 5: to get through it. But I thought we saw the

197
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 5: inability at times, because you can put the final stats

198
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 5: say look okay, Tom, but at times he could not

199
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 5: put the ball where he wanted to put it. And

200
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 5: that was Aaron's life blood for twenty years. He could

201
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 5: always put the ball where he wanted to throw it,

202
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 5: and I didn't see that with any regularity last year.

203
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 1: To Bucky, you released this new mock drafter, Jackson Darness

204
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: somebody it seems like has risen somewhat here in the

205
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: process in your mind, I know you have to put

206
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: him somewhere in the mock drafter. Is it rich in

207
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: your mind to be drafting in where the Steelers would

208
00:09:58,840 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: be taking him in the top twenty.

209
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 7: Well, when you don't have a quarterback, you have to

210
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 7: find a way to get one, even though you would

211
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 7: like it always to marry that the grades marry up

212
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 7: with where you're taking a quarterback. I think it really

213
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 7: depends on the need of the team, And I would

214
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 7: love to live in an ideal world where every scout

215
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 7: in every team takes players exactly where the approximate value is.

216
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 7: But that's not the case right now for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

217
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 7: If the Pittsburgh Steelers have to line it up and

218
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 7: play right away, they have Mason Rudolph and they don't

219
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 7: really have another option with Russell Wilson departing. Look, you're

220
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 7: waiting on the Aaron Rogers thing, but even that is

221
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 7: a short term fix. At some point you have to

222
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 7: take a swing and see if you can find a

223
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 7: young quarterback can be the face of your franchise at

224
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 7: least for just the next five years. With Jackson Dart,

225
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 7: I see someone who has talented, someone who's had a

226
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 7: lot of success running Lane Kivin's offense down at Old

227
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 7: Miss Hey. Is he a perfect prospect, No, But he

228
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 7: certainly to me appears to be a quarterback with enough

229
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 7: talent and tools to be a winning starting quarterback in

230
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 7: this league. And if you're surrounded with the right pieces,

231
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 7: some of the pieces the Pittsburgh Steels have, Yes, he

232
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 7: should be winning quarterback in this league in the right situation.

233
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: We got to update that notable free agenc board because

234
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: we got more breaking news within the past few minutes.

235
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs now also has a new home. He is

236
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: headed to the Patriots on a three year, sixty nine

237
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: million dollar deal, according to our guy Ian Rappaport. For Diggs,

238
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: he's about four months removed from an ACL reconstruction Surgery's

239
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: certainly one of the most productive wide receivers of his era.

240
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 2: Judy.

241
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: He took a visit to the Patriots last week. He

242
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: underwent a physical. Obviously, everybody was comfortable with where he

243
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: is at physically, and now finally for a Patriots team

244
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: that spent two years trying to add a wide receiver,

245
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: they land even at this stage of his career, a

246
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: premier weapon for Drake May.

247
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

248
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 3: I mean, the Patriots have had a very active free agency,

249
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 3: most of it on the defensive side of the ball.

250
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 3: This is a big one though for the offense. We

251
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 3: have been saying for at least the last two or

252
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 3: three seasons that the Patriots offense really lacked firepower. There

253
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 3: just were not explosive players on that side of the ball.

254
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 3: Even this far into his career, Stefon Diggs is still

255
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 3: a potentially explosive player. Last season with the Houston Texans,

256
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 3: before he suffered the injury, he had almost five hundred

257
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 3: receiving yards in eight games, so he was on track

258
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 3: to have a thousand yard receiving season.

259
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 4: He can still bring it.

260
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 3: He'll be really good for a young quarterback like Drake May.

261
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 3: They still need more. This does not solve all of

262
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 3: their problems, but this is certainly a pretty big move

263
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 3: for a Patriots team that really needed to put pieces

264
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 3: around Drake May. Still needs to put more around Drake May.

265
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 3: Very good start though with Stefan Diggs.

266
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, really good start.

267
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 7: And I think what's interesting about this move is Stefan

268
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 7: Diggs came to Buffalo to really help Josh Allen accelerate

269
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 7: the development in terms of him becoming a franchise to

270
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 7: elite quarterback. For Stefan Diggs joining out with you, Rag May,

271
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 7: it gives Drake May a trusted, seasoned veteran to lean on.

272
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 7: The younger the quarterback, the older the receivers need to

273
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 7: be because to develop the trust in the passing game,

274
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 7: you have to have guys that are dependable and reliable

275
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 7: when it comes to getting to their spot. Drake May

276
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 7: now knows that he has the comfort in being able

277
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 7: to target Stefan Diggs knowing that he's going to be

278
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 7: where he needs to be when he needs to be.

279
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 6: There, at the time he needs to be there.

280
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 7: To me, it makes a lot of sense to help

281
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 7: Drake May take another step in his development as a

282
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 7: franchise quarterback in New England.

283
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 5: Well, I think there's gonna be a lot of completions

284
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 5: between Drake May and Stefan Dings. I mean, he loves

285
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,599
Speaker 5: the limelight, he loves being the number one receiver. I

286
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 5: don't think he was that guy even when healthy in

287
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 5: Houston last year. That was the reserve for another player.

288
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 5: But I think Stefan Diggs becomes the number one. They've

289
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 5: been drafting receivers the last couple of years to Mario Douglas,

290
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 5: Jalen Polk, Kayshawn book Tag, but this is a guy

291
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 5: that they need.

292
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 8: They need a guy that knows how to win.

293
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 5: Beat Man coverage, can separate still a great router, It

294
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 5: doesn't matter who's in front of them. So quarterbacks feel

295
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 5: comfortable when they feel like their number one receiver is

296
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 5: going to win the coverage, and that's what Stefan Diggs

297
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 5: takes pride in and the more you feed them, the

298
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 5: better he gets.

299
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 8: The happier year he gets, the better the quarterback fields.

300
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 5: To your point, Bucky, I think Josh Allen probably missed

301
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 5: him some last year even though they had success. But

302
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 5: quarterbacks the go to guy red zone, third down, when

303
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 5: you need to play, they need a guy they can

304
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 5: go to, and Stefan Diggs has proved that in a

305
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 5: couple of different places.

306
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: Paul, You've seen Josh McDaniel's offense a lot of different

307
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: iterations of it with different teams. You also know how

308
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots were in some ways trying to protect Drake

309
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: may as a rookie quarterback last year. When you add

310
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: a veteran weapon like a Stefan Diggs, what would you

311
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: imagine is the schematic evolution now that you can do

312
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: with year two with may Well?

313
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 8: I think you're going to. I mean it starts with

314
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:55,479
Speaker 8: just completions.

315
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 5: You always want to get your quarterback warmed up, heat

316
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 5: it up with just you know whether it's the hit,

317
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 5: whether it's the stops, whether it's the comebacks where you

318
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 5: can throw routes just on timing and know that you

319
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 5: can get a completion, you can move the sticks, and

320
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 5: I think that's what Stefan can do if you need

321
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 5: to take that shot or play action max protection, speedo routes,

322
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 5: you know, screaming down the sidelines are over in the

323
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 5: middle of the field.

324
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 8: He's always been able to do that.

325
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 5: And he's tough, like he's fully prepared to take any

326
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 5: kind of a hit. But Josh will now have route

327
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 5: combinations in there that will feature a true number one receiver.

328
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 5: And look, you know, you go back to Wes Welker

329
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 5: and you know, and all the guys that they had

330
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 5: the slot. You know, Stefan can run a lot of

331
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 5: those routes in the slot for the for the Patriots

332
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 5: right now. So I think there's something there that you

333
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 5: can really move him around to really isolate.

334
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: Herbert thunder center, play action pass a lot at the

335
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: top of the pocket.

336
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 9: Now, pressure from clowning, Herbert escapes rolling white, chased by

337
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 9: tunnel crowns.

338
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 2: And accepted picked off cha C.

339
00:15:58,880 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 8: Horne at the forty yard.

340
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: Plays like that are why the Panthers rewarded their star

341
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: cornerback j C.

342
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 2: Horn with a.

343
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: Four year, one hundred million dollar contract extension. It's not

344
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: just those interceptions, it's what he does on a down in,

345
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: down out basis. Look at the lowest passer ratings allowed

346
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: in coverage going back to twenty twenty one, which was

347
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: Jac's rookie year, fourth of the league, behind only Derek

348
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: Stingley Junior also just got his payday Sauce Gardner, Doron,

349
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: Blan j C. Horn Page, Richley and now gets his

350
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: opportunity to come on the Insiders with me, Tom Pelisero

351
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: as well as Steve Whits. Jaycy has been a couple

352
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: of weeks now since you signed that extension. It's a

353
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: journey always, especially for you to get to this point

354
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: when you're actually putting pen to paper on a life

355
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: changing type of contract like that.

356
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 10: What's the feeling, man, It's the real like you almost

357
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 10: don't know how to feel because you know you're dream

358
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 10: about that day or hope since you pick up a football,

359
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 10: you know, having making life changing money. You know, into

360
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 10: that second contract, you know that's the main goal when

361
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 10: you come in the league, and then you actually do it.

362
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,479
Speaker 11: It's like, man, it's a real feeling.

363
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:07,959
Speaker 10: But you know, now I'm just ready to get back

364
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 10: to working, you know, prove that I am worth that money.

365
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 2: Jacon On that note.

366
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 9: We know some of the problems that you guys had

367
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 9: on defense last year. What did it mean to you

368
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 9: for your organization to say this guy's part of the

369
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 9: solution to fixing that we want him here long term?

370
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 11: Man, It meant a lot.

371
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 10: It meant a lot to me, especially you know what

372
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 10: I've been through injury wise, ups and downs of that.

373
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 10: You know, they step beside me the whole time and

374
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 10: let me know that if I go handle my business

375
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 10: on the field and play good football, they were going

376
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 10: to take care of me. And I try to deliver

377
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 10: on my side, and you know they step beside me

378
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 10: and delivered on their side. And now I'm just ready

379
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 10: to change the defense around, man, and bring some winning

380
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 10: football back to Carolina.

381
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: You mentioned those injuries, JC, I mean you had two

382
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: years that were basically lost to that in your first

383
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: three seasons in the league. As confident as you are,

384
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 1: as self assured and knowing the history and that you

385
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: are a playmaker, ever have any doubts that you'd be

386
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: sitting here in this position as one of the NFL's

387
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: highest paid corners.

388
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, I'd be lying to you if I

389
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 10: said I didn't have any doubts. You know, I was

390
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 10: always confident in my ability and what I could do

391
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 10: on the field. But like you said, when you missing

392
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 10: full seasons and first game of this, I think I

393
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 10: got injured my third year. The first game of the

394
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 10: season in my rookie year was like the third game.

395
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 10: So you're getting injured that early and you out the

396
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 10: whole season. Of course you're gonna have the doubts. But

397
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 10: you know, I stayed company in who I was as

398
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 10: a player, and I knew if I just put a

399
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 10: season together where I showed what I could do, everything

400
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 10: could work itself out. So man, that's what happened, and

401
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 10: I'm ready to get.

402
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 11: Back to it.

403
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 9: Jac A big picture when you look at this right,

404
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 9: we're seeing all these wide receivers getting paid the way

405
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 9: they're getting paid. But at the same time, Pats are

406
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 9: Tan You, Derek Stingley, You're gonna paid on a scale

407
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 9: much like these wide receivers. Do you think that the

408
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 9: pay scale for cornerbacks now is to match what's going

409
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 9: on in the wide receiver game.

410
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 10: Yeah, we're not all the way here with them yet,

411
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 10: but you know, I feel like we should be making

412
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 10: where they're making them more just because you know our job, man.

413
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 10: I feel like outside a quarterback is the hardest job

414
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 10: on the field and it takes a lot to be

415
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 10: able to play corners. So but you know that is

416
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 10: what it is. It's all life changing money. So you

417
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,719
Speaker 10: can't complain too much about it.

418
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: Spoken like a man who knows me stays healthy, like

419
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: two three more years. Maybe you're right back at the table.

420
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 2: Maybe if you just go back in, they're getting this

421
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 2: rand to a new deal redone.

422
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: So Jase, when you're you're watching free agency right and

423
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: see if reference to the defense struggled last year? You

424
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: were overmatched, You had injuries up front from Derek Brown

425
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: getting hurt in the first game, all the other issues

426
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: you had. They go out, they signed Trayvon Merrik, they

427
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: signed Bobby Brown, they signed Tershawn Warden and Pat Jones.

428
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: Are you actively watching what's going on in free agency

429
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: and how does it change your expectations about what this

430
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: Panthers defense should be about in twenty twenty five?

431
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm for sure for Shuit taped in and was

432
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 10: going on meccas. I'm on that side of the ball.

433
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 10: You know, you know how I worked for a corner

434
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 10: you have d line playing pressure on a quarterback and

435
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 10: make your life way easier. And we got corners playing

436
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 10: defense and make it easier on the D line. So

437
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 10: I'm definitely glad we brought all those guys in, and

438
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 10: I just feel like we got all the pieces we need,

439
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 10: you know, getting Derek Brack, dj wantam our Age who

440
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 10: was out most of the year last year, who I

441
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 10: think is underrated as a player. Like getting those guys

442
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 10: back and then adding on the free agent acquisitions. Man,

443
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 10: I'm just excited to get back to OTAs, get to

444
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 10: work and just put it together so we could be

445
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 10: a dominating defense.

446
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 9: One thing that helps out a defense JCS if the

447
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 9: offense puts points on the board. And we saw Bryce

448
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 9: Young after he was benched last year, come back and

449
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 9: play much better down the stretch.

450
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 2: What are the expectations as a.

451
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 9: Teammate out of Bryce going into year three with the

452
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 9: confidence that he built in the back half of last season.

453
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 11: Yeah, man, I expect Bryce to go do it.

454
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 12: Man.

455
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 11: I mean, he was a high than four reason.

456
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 10: He was the number one pick for a reason, and

457
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,199
Speaker 10: like I always say, we always believed in them. You know,

458
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 10: we practiced with him day in and day out, and

459
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 10: see the crazy plays he make, how he manipulated the

460
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 10: pocket and make throws from every angle. But it was

461
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 10: just a sense of him getting comfortable, and like you said,

462
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 10: last year, we saw that.

463
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 11: So I feel like this guy's a limit man.

464
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 10: He got everything he needed and we need to just

465
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,719
Speaker 10: go put it together and win football games.

466
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 2: Bryce.

467
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: When you meet him, he's a very kind of humble

468
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: to himself type of guy. I'm sure he's a little

469
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 1: bit different when it's on the field, But how if

470
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: at all of you seen his leadership characteristics kind of

471
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: progress here over these past couple of years.

472
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, I think from him being a rookie

473
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 10: to now he just kind of let down his guard

474
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 10: a little bit. Man, He's talking a little bit more.

475
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 10: And it's tough to come in as a quarterback as

476
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 10: a rookie and lead a team for the grown men,

477
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 10: so it takes a little bit of an adjustment. But

478
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 10: now I just think he's way more comfortable, more personable

479
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 10: guys in the locker room, and a guy just ready

480
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 10: to run through a wall for him and win football

481
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 10: games for him because he got to just work extra hard.

482
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 10: You know, he don't he don't do a lot of

483
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 10: extra bs. Man, he just work hard and do the

484
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 10: right thing, So we want to go win football games for.

485
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 6: Him, you know.

486
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 9: On that note, you know when you look at your

487
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 9: whole division there in the NFC South, and you look

488
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 9: at the quarterbacks and price and you see how that

489
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 9: division is up for grabs every year, what do you

490
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 9: think you guys need to do to get through Atlanta,

491
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 9: New Orleans and Tampa Bay.

492
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 10: Man, I really think you just come down to the

493
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 10: details and just understanding how important those games are early on,

494
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 10: you know, because since I've been in the league, like

495
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 10: some seasons will start slow and then we get to

496
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 10: the end of season and look up and you one

497
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 10: or two games back from the playoffs, just due to

498
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 10: the division. Like you said, so, I feel like it's

499
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 10: just having that mindset early in the season to know

500
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 10: that these games are important because they can come back

501
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 10: to bite you later, and just taking that approach and

502
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 10: you know, winning the football games.

503
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 11: This is what it come down to.

504
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 10: You either win or lose, and I think we just

505
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 10: need to execute and win the games.

506
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: Jase, not only are you a Pro Bowl corner, but

507
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: you're also the inventor I think of one of the

508
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 1: most common now celebrations for DBS, which is the seatbelt celebration.

509
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: I'm curious every time you see a guy do this,

510
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: you see it more and more. We saw a few

511
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: flags and finds last year, cause people are like a

512
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: whole street a weapon.

513
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 2: Should this be allowed?

514
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: Have you had any conversations like make it clear to

515
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: the NFL, to the officials, everybody like this is cool? Man,

516
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 1: We're actually delivering a very important message about public safety.

517
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 6: Yeah.

518
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 10: Man, I see some guys get flagged, but I think

519
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 10: they'd be adding a little extra on it. Man, shooting

520
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 10: the guns and stuff like that. For us, it's just

521
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 10: been finny sea bet on. I'm saying, we strapped up

522
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 10: and we did our job. There reb not more than

523
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 10: none less man.

524
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: Well, real quick, you know you're coming to us from

525
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: a car. I know it's right, I know it's March.

526
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: Can you give us one right now? Can you put

527
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: it out?

528
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 2: Set right now?

529
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 8: Right?

530
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 11: I ain't driving right now, but I need to put

531
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 11: it on. Man, you always being secured, so real quick.

532
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 6: I cannot let you off the hook with this one.

533
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 6: I'm old enough.

534
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 9: You can tell me the gray hair I covered your father.

535
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 9: Joe Horn, one of the best wide receivers in the

536
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 9: late nineties. In the early two thousands, he might have

537
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 9: had the all time to touchdown celebration when he pulled

538
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 9: the phone out from under the padding of the goalpost

539
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 9: when he's with the Saints.

540
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 6: Are you just a chip of.

541
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 9: The old block when it comes to something like that,

542
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 9: or did he give me some other vital lessons on

543
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 9: how to celebrate you making a good play?

544
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 6: Yeah?

545
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 11: Man, I mean he was a flashy dude.

546
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 10: I'm kind of the opposite of him, you know how

547
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,959
Speaker 10: the receivers is many Davis, But yeah, it is crazy

548
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 10: that a lot of people tell me is like one

549
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 10: of the best celebrations of all the time, him pulling

550
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 10: out the phone and then just a connection with the

551
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 10: seat belt that's taken over and you see it in

552
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 10: different sports and stuff like that. I think it's pretty

553
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 10: cool that, you know, I kind of got my own

554
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 10: little celebration too that that people can talk about.

555
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 11: But yeah, man, it's exciting for sure.

556
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: Jac congrats again, man, drive safe, I know you will.

557
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 2: We appreciate you being here, dude. Let's do it again.

558
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 11: Yes, I appreciate you all for having me.

559
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: Coming up a lot. More on tonight's breaking news both

560
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: of it. Russell Wilson's New York Giant, Stefan Diggs is

561
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: in New England.

562
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 2: Patriot all the fallout.

563
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 1: We got Bucky Brooks, Brian Baldinger and a cast of

564
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:13,479
Speaker 1: thousands back with us. Next on The Insiders, Breaking news tonight,

565
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is a New York Giant. Besides agreeing to

566
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 1: terms on a one year, ten point five million dollar

567
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: contract that could be worth up to twenty one million

568
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 1: dollars with incentives, Russell Wilson, the former Seahawk former Bronco

569
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: who spent last season with the Steelers, was not among

570
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: the top choices for Pittsburgh to remain QB one there. Instead,

571
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 1: he had offers from the Browns as well as the Giants,

572
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: and a short time ago, Russell Wilson making the decision

573
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: one year after he initiated a visit to the Giants

574
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 1: before signing with the Steelers. He is now officially headed

575
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: to New York. Welcome back to the Insiders. Tom Pellicero,

576
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: Judy Mattista, Bucky Brooks, and Brian Baldinger. We got all

577
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: hands on deck, Judy, and they got a lot of

578
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: hands in that quarterback room as well. With Jameis Winston there,

579
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: they got Tommy DeVito there, they potentially have the number

580
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: three pick, but very clear at this point Russell Wilson

581
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: walks in that door.

582
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 2: As QB one.

583
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 11: Yeah.

584
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, they needed a starting quarterback. It was

585
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 3: that simple. The Jameis Winston deal was clearly backup money,

586
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 3: so they were still in the market for a starting quarterback.

587
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 3: This obviously takes them out of the Aaron Rodgers sweepstakes.

588
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 3: That was the first person they had focused on. Actually

589
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford was the first one. Then they went to

590
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers and now Russell Wilson. What they get in

591
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson is a veteran presence who can still throw

592
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 3: the deep ball. You did that an awful lot in Pittsburgh.

593
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 3: During the middle part of the season last season, Russell

594
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 3: Wilson and the Pittsburgh Steelers offense looked really good. Remember

595
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 3: there were people in the Steelers building who questioned why

596
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin was making the switch at quarterback to go

597
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 3: to Russell Wilson. And for a long time it looked

598
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 3: like it paid off. And then in the last month

599
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 3: of the season the offense really regress. I think the

600
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 3: question going into the Giants is can he fit into

601
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 3: how Brian Daball is going to want them to play

602
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 3: offense Again. We saw him throw that moon ball. He

603
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 3: can still do it. He can still connect with the

604
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 3: deep ball. Thelik Neighbors is probably going to get a

605
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 3: lot of passes come in his way. I think that

606
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 3: question is can he operate the offense efficiently cut down

607
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 3: on the turnovers that was a problem again in the

608
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 3: final month of the season for the Pittsburgh Steelers. We

609
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 3: will see, but this certainly settles things down for the

610
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 3: Giants quarterback room, and it means that they don't have

611
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 3: to go into the draft next month desperate to draft

612
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 3: our quarterback if the one they really want is not there.

613
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 5: And I'm sure Judy, that the Giants informed James that

614
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 5: Russell is quarterback number one. I think you know they

615
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 5: gave him that veteran courtesy. That's their quarterback right here

616
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 5: for the offseason into the season. That's number one, number two. Look,

617
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 5: Russell has always been challenged by throwing the ball in

618
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 5: the middle of the field. He needed movement creativity to

619
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 5: five in the middle of the field to open receivers.

620
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 5: I don't think that's going to change. I would expect

621
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 5: the running backs to get a lot of checkdowns. He

622
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 5: takes a lot of sacks. He's been sacked the Boat's

623
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 5: quarterback twice in his career and he's sacked last year.

624
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 5: A bunch just holding the ball waiting for things to

625
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 5: open up. And it's a concern because the Giants have

626
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 5: yet to show that they can put an offense line

627
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 5: out there.

628
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 8: That's not going to be credit misie. So I kind

629
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 8: of am a little concerned about that.

630
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 5: But I think the way the Giants want to play

631
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 5: football is they want to explosive players. They want to

632
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 5: push the ball down the field. So Russell's going to

633
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 5: get that chance, especially the elite neighbors and who knows

634
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 5: what they do with the number three pick, what they

635
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 5: might bring in, But certainly keeping Darius Slayton on the roster,

636
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 5: which a lot of people question. He's still got Auburn

637
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 5: speed and he can still fly. They're want to open

638
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 5: this thing up way more than they have the last

639
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 5: couple of seasons.

640
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 7: You know, body, I think is interesting when the Giants

641
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 7: went to the playoffs with Daniel Jones and talking to

642
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 7: Brian dave Ball that season, he talked about It was

643
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 7: really important for them to play winning football, take care

644
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 7: of the ball, wait for the other team to implode,

645
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 7: and then they will find a way to win. I

646
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 7: think they go back to that strategy with Russell Wilson

647
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 7: at quarterback. We can say a lot of things about

648
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 7: Russell Wilson, how the offense struggle, but when I look

649
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 7: at his numbers, you finished sixteen to five touchdown the interception,

650
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 7: and even down the stretch, it wasn't like he was

651
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 7: turning the ball over at an alarming rate. The big

652
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 7: thing for the New York guys is they have to

653
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 7: fully establish who they are.

654
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 6: They need to be able to run the football.

655
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 7: If they can run the football, find a way to

656
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 7: create those explosive plays off play action the way that

657
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 7: Russell Wilson has always generated those.

658
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 6: Those splosive plays.

659
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 7: They can be fine, and then it's on the defense

660
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 7: to make sure that they hold up their end of

661
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 7: the deal. But remember, head coach, front office, everyone is

662
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 7: under a win now premise. To me, it makes sense

663
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 7: to go with the season quarterback, someone who hasn't winning pedigree.

664
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 7: Russell Wilson gives them a chance. I'm not saying he's

665
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 7: the greatest thing to the slighted bread, but he gives

666
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 7: them a chance to win as the deal trying to

667
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 7: rebuild this situation. To me, it makes a lot of

668
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 7: sense because look, it's twenty five or never for the

669
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 7: New York.

670
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 6: James with this regime. They got to find a way

671
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 6: to do it.

672
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 7: And so trust Russell Wilson to be able to try

673
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 7: and get it done makes sense to me.

674
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: Take Uan Barkley obviously drew a lot of headlines last year,

675
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: but not forget Tyrone Trasa ran for over one thousand

676
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: yards and they do have draft ammunition to add to

677
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: that running back room. And while the Patriots finally have

678
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: added to the wide receiver room, Stefon Diggs headed to

679
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots on a three year, sixty nine million dollar deal.

680
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: He visited the Patriots last week underwent a physically he's

681
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: only about four months out from acl reconstruction surgery, but

682
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: obviously the Patriots felt good enough physically about Stefan Diggs

683
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: to make this type of a financial commitment. Right now,

684
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: he is reunited with, among others, Todd Downing, who's now

685
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: the Patriots wide receivers coach, was an assistant in Minnesota

686
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: when Stefan Diggs was a player there.

687
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 3: It's draft season and that means Path to the Draft

688
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 3: is back. Our experts have you covered from evaluations to

689
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 3: draft needs for all thirty two teams. Paths to the

690
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 3: Draft presented by Harbor Freight weeknights starting Monday, March thirty first,

691
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 3: That is next Monday, everybody six pm Eastern on NFL

692
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 3: Network and streaming on NFL Plus. And you know who,

693
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 3: I think they're probably going to spend some time talking

694
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 3: about this guy, Mason Graham. The University of Michigan had

695
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 3: its pro day just a few days ago, and Mason

696
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 3: Graham the defensive tackle fourth ranked prospect on DJ's Top fifty.

697
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 3: He's also Bucky Brooks's number one ranked defensive tackle. Let's

698
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 3: take a look at the Michigan players who are in

699
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 3: Bucky brooks projected first round. Mason Graham, you see, going

700
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 3: to the Jaguars. He's got them projected with the fifth

701
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 3: overall pick, Colston Loveland, Will Johnson, Kenneth Grant. That would

702
00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 3: be four Wolverines in the first round. And we are

703
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 3: bringing in our favorite Wolverine, Jeffrey Chidia, joining Chucky Brooks

704
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 3: and Brian Baldinger.

705
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 4: To talk more about Michigan Pro Day.

706
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 3: Okay, Jeffrey, you were at Michigan Pro Day. Were your

707
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 3: impressions when you saw Mason Graham up close?

708
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 12: Well, he's a very impressive player, Judy, And he didn't

709
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 12: he only did the position drills, but even in that

710
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 12: he looked super impressive.

711
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 6: And you see his body type.

712
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 12: He's a former high school wrestler and he's just so thick.

713
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 12: He's been't have the longest arms in the world, but

714
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 12: he's got great quickness, great lateral movement, and he's really strong.

715
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 12: And when he got to Michigan, Jim Harbaugh talked about

716
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 12: him and Kenneth Grant and said, the football gods have

717
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 12: given me something that I can't believe I have here.

718
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 12: And you saw that playoff for Mason Graham over the

719
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 12: course of his career. And when I talked to Sherill

720
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 12: Moore as head coach about him, he just raved about

721
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 12: the work ethic and the leadership, but also the ability.

722
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 6: You see that there. He's a top five pick for

723
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 6: a reason, Bucky, And he is a top five pick

724
00:32:58,400 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 6: for a reason.

725
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 7: And I feel like we're this point of the draft

726
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 7: where everyone is overthinking it when it comes to Mason

727
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 7: Graham when you turn on to Tay. He's a dominant player.

728
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 7: He go in with power, he going with force or

729
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 7: for nests. He has great hand quickness. He wins the

730
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 7: hand to hand combat battles consistently. And then I'm gonna

731
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 7: say this, look, man, he is a culture change in

732
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 7: terms of the way that he plays, the energy, the relentlessness,

733
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 7: the dog that he displays on the field. To me,

734
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 7: there are prospects that you love when you're evaluating. I

735
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 7: love what he brings to the table because he checks

736
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 7: off all the boxes as an alpha competitor down in

737
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 7: the trenches.

738
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 6: Buck.

739
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 5: You can't watch any of these Michigan games and not

740
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 5: see his counterpart in Kenneth's Grant playing right next to

741
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 5: him in much of the last couple of seasons here

742
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 5: and see his size. If you look at some games

743
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 5: like maybe the USC game, you might think Kenneth Grant

744
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 5: is more dominant player, but he has all the abilities

745
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 5: to defeat run blocks right here, to stack shad, get

746
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 5: off the block and make plays. Here is against USC

747
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 5: constantly just making guys miss with his moves at the point.

748
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 5: And then this play right here, you know, this taking

749
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 5: down the running back thirty four yards down the field.

750
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 5: I mean that's one of the highlights where you just

751
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 5: see the pursuit, but you see the power right here,

752
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 5: just claps in the pocket from the inside. I mean,

753
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 5: he's a bigger prospect to Macy Grant with thirty one

754
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 5: pounds and he ran a five oh seven at that

755
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 5: pro day and.

756
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 8: Jump thirty one inches.

757
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 5: He's got an explosive element to his game, and I

758
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 5: think size matters sometimes and Teneth Grant, for me, is

759
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 5: a guy to your point, Bucky, I don't think he

760
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 5: gets out of his first round at all. I'm just

761
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 5: curious who might fight to go get him, because I

762
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 5: think he's a guy that you know, has got real

763
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 5: pass rush ability that has yet to be explored at

764
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:42,479
Speaker 5: the NFL level.

765
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 3: All right, got another Wolverine that Bucky has going in

766
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 3: the first round, Will Johnson, Jeffrey.

767
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 4: You got to see him as well.

768
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 3: Bucky's got him going twenty third overall to the Green

769
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 3: Bay Packers.

770
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 4: What were your impressions, Well, I saw.

771
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 6: Him, but he didn't really do anything.

772
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,320
Speaker 12: He was in sweats the whole time, nursing at Hampshire injury,

773
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 12: so he hasn't really done much in terms of working

774
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 12: out throughout the offseason.

775
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 8: Didn't do anything at the Combine.

776
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 6: As well, But you know, people still love.

777
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 8: What he can do on the field.

778
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 12: You see the tape here, I think he led I

779
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 12: set a record at Michigan for pick sixes. He's got

780
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 12: great instincts, great hands. The question about him though, is

781
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 12: the speed, and that's what some scout re frustrated that

782
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:20,720
Speaker 12: he was not working out because.

783
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 6: They haven't seen him running forty and is.

784
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 12: One coach told me that it's like that could drop

785
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,439
Speaker 12: him a little bit because you can be a little

786
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 12: bit slower at receiver, but at corner they want to

787
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 12: know what you're running. So it's going to be interesting

788
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 12: to see what he does. But the tape, you know,

789
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 12: Buckie stands out like no other.

790
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 7: It absolutely stands out Jevin. And when I hear skals

791
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 7: and coaches expressed their frustration in the time, I get it.

792
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 7: But when you watch the tape, the instincts jump off

793
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 7: to me. This is a guy that can use any technique,

794
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 7: any tune necessary to be able to log people up

795
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 7: on the perimeter. More importantly, when you put him in

796
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 7: his own defense and a line and play with odds

797
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 7: and vision.

798
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 6: He's going to make a ton of ball plays on

799
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 6: the ball.

800
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 7: I understand we may not see him run, and so

801
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 7: now you go have to kind of take him blindly

802
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 7: in terms of what his athleticism is. But in the

803
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 7: right situation, you're talking about a guy that is a

804
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 7: pro Bowl corner, someone that can line up day one

805
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 7: and play well in a scheme that is varied. I

806
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 7: just love the things that he shows on tape, and

807
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 7: I'm disappointed that the working out doesn't kind of validate everything.

808
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 7: But to me, he's a really good football player, and

809
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 7: those who study and no good football players with check off.

810
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 7: Will Johnson has one of the top football players in

811
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 7: his draft class.

812
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: Latest mock draft from Bucky Brooks is up right now

813
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:35,399
Speaker 1: at NFL dot Com. He's got quarterbacks up there at

814
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 1: the top, cam Ward and Shador Sanders, which probably makes

815
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: it a good thing. The Giants just signed Russell Wilson.

816
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: More on that in a little bit. For right now,

817
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: it's time for count on It by Toro as we

818
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: bring back our Bucky Brooks, Brian Baldinger, and Judy Matasta.

819
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: I'm going to start out with you, Bucky, what's something

820
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: you can count on in this NFL draft.

821
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 7: Oh well, I mean, I think you can count on

822
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 7: both of those running backs being legit and being great.

823
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:01,760
Speaker 6: At his top ten picks.

824
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 7: When you think about asking genty and Marian Hampton what

825
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 7: they bring to the table. They are every down running

826
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 7: backs that have the splash that you need.

827
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 6: To be a top ten pick.

828
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 7: And Jensy you talk about someone who has a very

829
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 7: complete game, great vision, great balance, great body control, can

830
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 7: run through contact and take in the distance.

831
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 6: And then a Marion Hampton offers similar traits.

832
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,760
Speaker 7: Physical rugged runner specializing in doing his damage in between

833
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 7: the tackles, but had the speed to get to the perimeter.

834
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 7: When we think about workhorse running backs and the renaissance

835
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 7: of the running back position in the National Football League,

836
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 7: you talk about the Derrick Henry's, talk about Saquon Barkleys,

837
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 7: you think about Josh Jacobs, what they were able to do.

838
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 7: These guys offer similar traits. There are guys that can

839
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 7: do on all early downs but also stay on the

840
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 7: field on those late downs when it's obvious passing the situations.

841
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: All right, Baldy top that what's something you can count

842
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: on in this NFL draft?

843
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 6: Well, Tom, go.

844
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 5: Back to my visit at the Senior Bowl this year,

845
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 5: I knew this is going to be a deep in

846
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 5: talented defensive line draft. I think you can count on

847
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 5: eight to ten defensive lineman taking in the first round,

848
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 5: starting with that man right there, Abdua Carter, whether you're

849
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 5: the edge defensive ends, defensive tackles right now. We talked

850
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 5: about Macy Graham and Kenneth Grant being first round picks,

851
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 5: but you know, Walter.

852
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 8: Nolan, you go down with the list right here.

853
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 5: You know, obviously we can watch a lot of Abdul

854
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 5: Carter over the last three years, but you know, you

855
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 5: get down to Marshall's Mike Green right now. He was

856
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 5: impressive at the Senior Bowl and everything that he did

857
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 5: here he is to just chase down a quarterboun at

858
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 5: a big day against Ohio State, but his ability to

859
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 5: turn the corner to get to the quarterback just a

860
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 5: relentless pursuit and an extremely fast first step. And so

861
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 5: I think you could go all the way down here,

862
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 5: Darius Alexander. You know a whole bunch of different players here,

863
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 5: but I think eight to ten could go in the

864
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 5: first round.

865
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 3: The thing I am going to count on in this

866
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 3: draft is that there will be an awkward scene in

867
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 3: the green room every year.

868
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 4: I worry about this.

869
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 3: I always worry about whoever the last kid is in

870
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 3: the green room, if he's holding up. Okay, I know

871
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 3: what's going to happen. I'll be ready for it.

872
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say.

873
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 1: The thing you can count on, just like you can

874
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 1: count on Toro, is that fans are going to have

875
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: a great time in Green Bay. I know it's not

876
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: New York City. I know that people have an idea

877
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: about it. Somebody who lived in Green Bay and somebody

878
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,439
Speaker 1: who enjoys every time my schedule takes me to Green Bay.

879
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 1: The city has grown. All the areas around it and

880
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: have grown. There's really good restaurants, everything's walkable. Lambefield in

881
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: the area around at one of the coolest venues in

882
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: the NFL, and that is where a bunch of dreams

883
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: are going to come true. Mock Draft Live tonight a

884
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: pm EA steret. You can see Bucky Brooks' entire mock

885
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 1: Draft three point zero.

886
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 2: Do not miss that. Ll right, Bucky Baldy, thank you

887
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 2: very much.

888
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 1: Coming up after this Judy stick around, because we got

889
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: a little bit more to say about Russell Wilson, who

890
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 1: is now officially headed to the New New York Giants.

891
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: Stick around and see, in siders, there is no slow

892
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,280
Speaker 1: news day in the NFL case. In point two pieces

893
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:17,240
Speaker 1: of breaking news tonight on March twenty fifth, Savon Diggs

894
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 1: is headed to the New England Patriots. It's a three year,

895
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 1: sixty nine million dollar deal for Diggs, who was about

896
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 1: four months removed from ACL reconstruction surgery but had a

897
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 1: physical recently. With the Patriots. Obviously all went well. They

898
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,760
Speaker 1: now had a big time weapon for Drake May. Meanwhile,

899
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is heading to the New York Giants a

900
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: one year, ten point five million dollar deal. He can

901
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: earn up to twenty one million dollars with incentives, all

902
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 1: of which means Judy Batista that Aaron Rodgers would certainly

903
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: seem to have one immediate option, which is the Pittsburgh

904
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: Stillers pro I want to put you on the spot

905
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: for secondyar Judy, Giants fans Patriots fans right a lot

906
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 1: to ponder tonight.

907
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 2: Well we get to the end of next season.

908
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: Which fan base is happy with tonight's news, the Patriots

909
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: getting Bigs or the Giants.

910
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:04,439
Speaker 2: Getting Russ.

911
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 3: I am going to say that Giants getting Russ because

912
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 3: I think the Giants will win some games because of

913
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson. You know, Stefan Diggs is a very good player,

914
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 3: but wide receivers obviously impact the game less than quarterbacks do. Listen,

915
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 3: the mandate at the Giants is they've got to win games.

916
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 3: They don't have to win the Super Bowl, but they've

917
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 3: got to win more games than they've been winning the

918
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 3: last few years. They've got to get better play a quarterback.

919
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 3: And yes he is late in his career, and yes,

920
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 3: the last month of the season with the Steelers was

921
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 3: quite a slide, not a good one. But this certainly

922
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 3: gives at least the Giants the chance to win some

923
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 3: games with a veteran quarterback. He will get the ball

924
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 3: to Elak Neighbors, there will be explosive plays in the offense,

925
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 3: which there haven't been for a few years. All of

926
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 3: those things will be positives for the Giants.

927
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, I'm told, is no question walking in the

928
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: door as the starter. They us of Jamis Winston on

929
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,359
Speaker 1: a backup deal. Tommy DeVito is still in that room

930
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: as our colleige. Kyle Brandt posted earlier. You can easily

931
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: do next season a quarterback just with those three guys,

932
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: and the Giants so could draft a quarterback at number

933
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: three overall.

934
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 2: That's what I mean.

935
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 1: Thirty days from the draft, the drama never ends. Right

936
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: here on the Insiders, we're back again tomorrow. We have

937
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers deal. Who knows stick around?

938
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 2: Send BM Eastern time.

939
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: See that
