1
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: Quarterback landscape in New York has changed dramatically.

2
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 2: Out with the old in with these two new faces.

3
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: That is justin Fields right there for the New York Jets.

4
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: That is Jackson Dart for the New York Giants. We

5
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: will get into both of them as you try to

6
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: figure out what is going to happen in New York

7
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: that's gonna be better than whatever happened last year. Still

8
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: in New York. Yes, Buffalo is actually in New York.

9
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: The other teams are in New Jersey. That's a whole

10
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: different issue. You don't want to get into any of that.

11
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 1: Which young member of the Buffalo Bills can get this

12
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: team over the hump? Jeffrey Chidia joins us to tell

13
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: you exactly which one that is, and he is not

14
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: going to be wrong.

15
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 2: And I know, I know it is May. I think

16
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: it's still May.

17
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: Maybe June is coming sooner though the weather wouldn't agree,

18
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: But it is still time to talk about fantasy quarterbacks.

19
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: Who is your must draft fantasy quarterback? Adam Rank joins

20
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: us later in the show to tell us which one

21
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: of last year's rookies do you have to have? Absolutely,

22
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: we will get into all of it. Welcome inside with

23
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: the insiders. Ian Rappaport right here. Judy Batista there, Judy,

24
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 1: thank you very much for hanging out with me on

25
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: a Friday afternoon slash to night. Is there anything in

26
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: the world you'd rather be doing right now than doing

27
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: the show?

28
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 3: Since the weather here is so crummy? The answer is

29
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 3: actually no, there's nothing else I could be doing.

30
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 4: Perfect.

31
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: You know what the Vikings would like to do, keep

32
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 1: all of the really good people.

33
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: That is exactly what they did today.

34
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: Early in the offseason locked in coach Kevin O'Connell to

35
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: a multi year extension. Today Quacy Adolfo Mensa, the really

36
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: good general manager, he also was locked in to a

37
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: multi year extension. The two guys in charge of what

38
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: should be a really really good Viking team for several

39
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: years both now have their future secured. Very good news

40
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: for Minnesota, certainly richly deserved for Quasi Jackson Dart we

41
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: saw earlier one of the big time quarterbacks in New

42
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: York we are going to be discussing officially signed his

43
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: four year, sixteen point nine to seven million dollar contract,

44
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: almost nine million dollars in a signing bonus.

45
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 2: These are all slotted. We knew he's gonna get it anyway,

46
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: but Judy, it.

47
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: Is now official Jackson Dart under contract, which really brings

48
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: us to what we want to talk about anyway, which

49
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: is what happens now. Like if you're the Giants, you

50
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: have all this excaven and I got to know plenty

51
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: of Giants fans as a new you do, especially in

52
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: your own household. Everyone's excited about Jackson Dart. They also

53
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: have Russell Wilson, who's certainly been through it. Also have

54
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston who's also been through it. There's so many

55
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: different ways this can go for a team that really

56
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: sort of kind of does need to win. Now, what's

57
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: the best case scenario for the Giants and Jackson Dart

58
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: and their quarterback room.

59
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 3: The best case scenario is that they win games with

60
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,839
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson out of the gate and then they can

61
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 3: ease Jackson Dart in whenever.

62
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 5: They feel he is ready.

63
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 3: But as you said, there are so many variables that

64
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 3: are going to go into this decision, and this is

65
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 3: the question that's going to hang over really the entire

66
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 3: Giant season because we saw what Russell Wilson is last

67
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 3: year with the Pittsburgh News he was really good in spurts, right,

68
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: there were long stretches where he looked like the answer,

69
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 3: but then certainly at the end of the season, things

70
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 3: really sad, really declined, And so you wonder what you're

71
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 3: going to get from Russell Wilson.

72
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 5: Can he be the guy.

73
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 3: Who looked really really good for a long time or

74
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 3: will he be the guy we saw at the end

75
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: of the season. And then the other part of this

76
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: is how fast has Jackson darted up from the minute

77
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 3: they drafted him. The Giants said they wanted him to

78
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: be able to sit on the bench and learn with

79
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 3: no pressure, no need to rush him onto the field.

80
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 5: And I think that's the ideal scenario.

81
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 3: But there just are not ideal conditions for this Giants team.

82
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 5: Their schedule is very, very difficult.

83
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 3: They have the hardest strength of schedule in the entire NFL,

84
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 3: and the first half of the schedule is especially brutal.

85
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 3: They face a string of playoff teams, a string of

86
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 3: teams that have very good defenses, and so obviously, even

87
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 3: if they're playing better than they were last year, they

88
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 3: could still be losing games, and Russell Wilson and the

89
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 3: offense could still be struggling, and then at what point

90
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 3: will they want to expose Jackson Dart to that is

91
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: the offensive line protecting well enough that you would feel

92
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 3: like you could put Jackson Dart on the field.

93
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 5: It's going to be a very complex situation.

94
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 3: As you mentioned, Ian, this franchise needs to win some games.

95
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 3: Sprain Trust needs to win some games, probably to keep

96
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 3: their jobs. It's going to be fascinating to see how

97
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 3: they manage this decision.

98
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: What I keep thinking about, Look, obviously, there's a lot

99
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: of excitement for Jackson Dart, and it really seems like

100
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: we haven't seen him on the field of time.

101
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 2: But if everything we've seen and heard mentally.

102
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: Seems like he's with it and got it and is

103
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: exactly what you want and what Brian Dables wanted, and

104
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: I know they're is excitement about playing. What I keep

105
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: thinking of if you feel like you have to play them,

106
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: if you're like, let's say you're two and four and

107
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: it's so loud in New York talk radio is going

108
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: crazy and everyone's like, when can we see and when

109
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: can we see and when can we see him?

110
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: Is that the best situation to bring them in? And

111
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: who does that help?

112
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: It is going to take Judy some unbelievable patience and

113
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: poise for the entire organization. I'm not even talking about

114
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: Jackson Art literally everyone else to say, yes, I know

115
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: everyone's calling for him, but this is not the right

116
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: time to play them, or this is the right time.

117
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 1: Like it's it's going to be a constant discussion, a

118
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: constant battle. The biggest storyline in New York right now

119
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: is when is he going to play? And we're really

120
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: going to find out a lot about the Giants of

121
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: how much they believe long term Judy and how much

122
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: they want to win short term.

123
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 4: As far as their decision goes.

124
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 5: One more point to make.

125
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 3: Their bye week comes very very late in the season.

126
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 5: You usually look for.

127
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 3: The bye week as a natural opportunity if you're going

128
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 3: to make a quarterback switch. Their by week comes I

129
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 3: think in week fourteen, so that's not the opening. There

130
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 3: is a mini by week, I believe after week six,

131
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 3: so maybe if things are not going oven, but that

132
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 3: would be.

133
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 5: Very early to make the switch.

134
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: Well, we'll spend a little bit of time this season

135
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: talking about it. I have no doubt we will also

136
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: spend time talking about, of course, the Philadelphia Eagles the

137
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: champs who made a somewhat fascinating trade.

138
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: Today, it's not finalized.

139
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: He had going to be finalized after June first for

140
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: contractual reasons. But Bryce Huff, who signed a three or

141
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: fifty one million dollar deal with the Eagles, did not

142
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: produce at all like they thought. Got injured. It was

143
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: not a fitness look. A lot of free agency, a

144
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: lot of things the Eagles do work out, this did not.

145
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: They're in the process of trading him to the forty

146
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: nine Ers for draft pick compensation. Eagles is going to

147
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: eat about nine million dollars, which tells you as much

148
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: about how much they just wanted to get rid of him. Meanwhile,

149
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: he reunites with Robert Salve for the forty nine Ers.

150
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: He's their defensive coordinator. Sala loves Bryce Huff. Judy break

151
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 2: this down for me from both sides. Why this made sense.

152
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 3: Well, this was the very rare miss for Howie Roseman.

153
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 3: This was one of their big moves of last off season.

154
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 3: So much of last off season was a huge hit

155
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 3: for the Eagles, obviously, Saquon Barkley, Zach Bond, so many

156
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 3: things went well.

157
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 5: This just did not.

158
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 3: He was not a good fit as you said he

159
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 3: got injured. He really wasn't productive in that defense. It

160
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,239
Speaker 3: sort of slid under the radar because so much else

161
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 3: was so good about the Eagles last year, and obviously

162
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 3: it didn't matter that they missed on Bryce Huff because.

163
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 5: They won the Super Bowl.

164
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 3: Anyway, nobody was talking about the miss on Bryce Huff

165
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 3: at that point. But now it's time for them to

166
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 3: frankly cut their losses and move on.

167
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 5: He clearly wasn't.

168
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 3: Going to be a fit there, and so they get

169
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 3: something in return. As you pointed out, the good news

170
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 3: for Bryce Huff is he is going to be reunited

171
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 3: with Robert Sala. Huff had his best season in twenty

172
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 3: twenty three when he played for Robert Salo, who was

173
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 3: at the time the head coach of the New York Jets.

174
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 3: That is when Huff had ten sacks. That was the

175
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 3: season that made him the money that he got from

176
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: the Philadelphia Eagles.

177
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 5: So at least he.

178
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 3: Will be reunited with Robert Sala, who does love him,

179
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 3: knows how to use him, knows how to get the

180
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 3: best out of him. Let's bring in now our Omar Ruiz,

181
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 3: who certainly knows the San Francisco forty nine ers as

182
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,239
Speaker 3: well as any.

183
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 5: Of us hi Omar.

184
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 3: Obviously, Robert Sala is a familiar face in San Francisco,

185
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 3: returning to where he had such great success as defensive coordinator,

186
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 3: How do we expect.

187
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 5: Him to impact that defense now that he's returned.

188
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 6: Well, Getting guys like Bryce Huff will help, and especially

189
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 6: can get Huff like you mentioned in twenty two and

190
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 6: twenty three, according to Next Gen Stats, he led the

191
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 6: NFL in pressure percentage for all pass rushers. So if

192
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 6: Sala can get Bryce Huff opposite Nick Bosa, and you

193
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 6: think back to twenty seventeen, when Kyle Shanahan and John

194
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 6: Lynch first took over the forty nine ers, Robert Solo

195
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 6: was the defensive coordinator. They aspired to build a super

196
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 6: Bowl caliber defensive line, and they did it with all

197
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 6: those first round picks D FOURD, Nick Bosa, Eric Armstead,

198
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 6: DeForest Buckner. And you now look at what Sala is

199
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 6: doing for these forty nine ers. Now they get off

200
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 6: to add to Nick Bosa their first three of five

201
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 6: draft picks this season, including their first round pick, and

202
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 6: Mikel Williams Alfred Collins their second round pick, a defensive

203
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 6: Lineman out of Texas sixty six three hundred and forty

204
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 6: five pounds, really retooling that front.

205
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 2: For Robert Sala's defense. And you see Fred Warner there.

206
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 6: They talk about the violence, the relentlessness, chaos that they

207
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 6: want to play with. And it was Fred Warner who

208
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 6: said this week that Robert Sala brings a calmness to Hell.

209
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 6: They want to set this standard there, and of course

210
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 6: it was Sala who was leading that defense in twenty

211
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 6: nineteen when they first made that Super Bowl run in

212
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 6: this Kyle Shanahan era. Getting back to that style of play,

213
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 6: even though the defense is different, it's the standard they

214
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 6: want to get back to there. And when you look

215
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 6: at the forty nine Ers the last couple of years

216
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 6: they've turned through Steve Wilts Nick Sorenson as defensive coordinator,

217
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 6: they still finished in the top ten in the league

218
00:09:59,200 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 6: in defense.

219
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 2: They don't feel that they're that far off.

220
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 6: But Sala coming in with all the experience now as

221
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 6: a head coach with the New York Jets to implement

222
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 6: everything else that he brings to the table as defensive

223
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 6: coordinator will not only help that defense, but the entire

224
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 6: building there with the forty nine Ers.

225
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're talking about a free agent miss from Philadelphia

226
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: Eagles in Bryce Huff. I'll tell you what, forty nine

227
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: ers are not going to miss with Robert Stolof. There's

228
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: one sure thing it is he is the man to

229
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: run that defense. Did it so well obviously it seems

230
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: like a little bit forgotten now. He was one of

231
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: the best defensive coordinators, probably the best defensive coordinator in

232
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: the NFL before he got the judge job. That is

233
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: in addition right there, and they've actually done a really

234
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: nice job of adding some pieces securing their guys despite

235
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: having all these contractual priorities like George Kiddo and Purdy

236
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: and and all these thing bringing in Bryce Huff for

237
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: kind of a relatively low amount surely solidifies that. The

238
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: reason why, by the way, guys, this deal is not

239
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: going to be finalized till after June first, is that

240
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: is the point when you could split up the cappit

241
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: over two seasons. So for the Philadelphia Eagles, they take

242
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: on some money tied on cap space forty nine ers

243
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: obviously two so you can split this up over the

244
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: course of two season. That's why we'll see some cuts

245
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: that we've known about become official after.

246
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: June first, but we may see a trade.

247
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: We'll see about Jalen Ramsey after June first as well,

248
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: because that is the time contractually when it makes.

249
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: The most sense. Justin Fields in a Jets uniform.

250
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: I gotta say it still feels a little strange to

251
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: me looking good, though, at least from these social media

252
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: videos the Jets are put out. These are actually some

253
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 1: of my favorite things of otis. The slimmo ones are

254
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: actually better. But nobody looks bad in these social media videas,

255
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 1: just like nobody.

256
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 2: Looks bad throwing to an old teammate.

257
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: That is Justin Fields and Garrett Wilson, two friends from

258
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: Ohio State. They are back together again, and man, listen

259
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: to Fields talk about this one feels like home.

260
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 7: You been good, you know, jeez, She's been my guy

261
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 7: for a long time now, so you know, I really

262
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 7: feel like we haven't skipped a beat out out on

263
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 7: the practice field. So yeah, I mean it's been great

264
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 7: so far.

265
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 8: Just being here with him.

266
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 7: I think I can be great, you know, and that's

267
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 7: you know, been the goal for me my whole life,

268
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 7: my whole career. So like I said, you know, I

269
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 7: think this guy's a limit, you know, for this team,

270
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 7: for this offense. But we do have a long way

271
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 7: to go.

272
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: It is all about positivity and OTA's Ian Rapperford. Here

273
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: Juda Batista joined by Brian Baldinger hanging out with us

274
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: after hanging out with the Jets yesteryear.

275
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 2: Is that yesterday? Bald Is that right?

276
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 8: Okay?

277
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: You got an up close and personal look at Justin Fields. Okay,

278
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: we've all seen the social media eclipse. You saw it

279
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: in person.

280
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 2: What do you think?

281
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 8: What do we got? Uh? He looked exceptionally fast.

282
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, and there was a number of times he broke

283
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 9: uh you know, just on some scrambled things and took

284
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 9: it to the house. I mean, if it was flag football,

285
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 9: they went and ripped the flag off him. Looked, he

286
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 9: looked fast. He was on the move quite a bit,

287
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 9: being chased and do well on the move yesterday when

288
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 9: I saw him, I know, you just look at this

289
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 9: picture right here.

290
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 8: I mean when he got that little lipstick camera on

291
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 8: his helmet.

292
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 9: All the quarterbacks are wearing it with the Jets, so

293
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 9: don't think that's anything unusual.

294
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 8: They all kind of watch themselves. But you know, I

295
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 8: mean you.

296
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 9: See number seven and you saw him just basically piercing

297
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 9: the Jets defense routinely yesterday.

298
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 8: But I thought to do the ball well on the run.

299
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 9: He took all the number one repetitions with the starting offense.

300
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 8: He got a lot of reps yesterday.

301
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 9: They rotated other quarterbacks in, but he got all the

302
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 9: meaningful reps.

303
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 8: So look for that to continue.

304
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 9: But they used him in a variety of ways, but

305
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 9: running the ball he stood out yesterday for sure.

306
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 5: You know, Justin Fields is the face of this.

307
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 3: But this team has really undergone a massive youth movement.

308
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 3: Obviously they moved on from Aaron Rodgers and got to

309
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 3: Justin Fields, but it wasn't just that. Obviously, Defonte Adam, CJ. Moseley,

310
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 3: they really cleared out a lot of the older players

311
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 3: that they had tried to go all in with.

312
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 5: They built around Aaron Rodgers.

313
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 3: They went all in, tried to win, it didn't work,

314
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 3: and now they've gone very very young under Aaron Glenn.

315
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 5: I looked at the roster this afternoon.

316
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 3: They've only got, by my count on the roster right now,

317
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 3: three guys who are aged thirty or older, very very few.

318
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 3: Of course, that means that those young guys have to

319
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 3: come along very quickly. But the good part of it

320
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 3: is when you have a rookie head coach and a

321
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 3: rookie general manager, also is everybody can develop together and

322
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 3: not just develop physically, and not just develop chemistry on

323
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 3: the field, but develop a culture in a building that

324
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 3: quite frankly needed to change in a big way. That

325
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 3: is the direction they have decided to go at the Jets.

326
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 3: Very young, very fast, justin fields is the face of it.

327
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some of those young guys, Baaldi, you

328
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: got a good look at MArmand Membo, Mason Taylor, some

329
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: of the young rookies. I know they're expecting to come

330
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: in and play. What did you think and what should

331
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: we expect from some of those young dudes from the Jets?

332
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 9: I think immediate production, to be honest with you, Ian,

333
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 9: I mean I got there early yesterday and the first

334
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 9: guy that was on the field was armand Membu and

335
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 9: he was out there just working on a set of

336
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 9: introduced myself. I had never met him before, to a

337
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 9: lot of breakdowns on him to the draft process, but

338
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 9: introduced myself.

339
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 8: He was the first one on the field.

340
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 9: But you couldn't have watched yesterday's practice and not noticed

341
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 9: Mason Taylor. First of all, he is a very smooth runner.

342
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 9: He covers a lot of ground, and I think when

343
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 9: you see him up close, he's a lot bigger than

344
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 9: you might think at first. And then you saw him

345
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 9: not just catching passes and on the move, but I

346
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 9: saw him blocking the edge of the run game. I

347
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 9: saw him pass protecting in the pass game on various occasions.

348
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 9: And then you can't really talk about the Jet rookies.

349
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 9: He and without mentioning Arian Smith, their fourth round pick

350
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 9: from Georgia, who is just a burner.

351
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 8: Now. He had drops at Georgia.

352
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 9: People talked about, you know how dependable his hands are.

353
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 9: They tell me he's on the drug machine after every day.

354
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 9: But his speed is going to open up some windows

355
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 9: underneath for Garrett and Mason Taylor, I'm sure, because you

356
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 9: got to honor this guy that can cover a lot

357
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 9: of ground in a hurry.

358
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 3: Well, all of these young guys are also there to

359
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 3: try to help Justin Field's development. Aaron Glenn has said

360
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 3: he believes there is still a very very high ceiling

361
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 3: on Justin Fields that he hasn't reached. We saw glimpses

362
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 3: of it in Pittsburgh. We certainly didn't see the full development,

363
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 3: but Aaron Glenn is convinced that Justin Fields can reach

364
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 3: that high ceiling. And frankly, he is in a position

365
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 3: to know because he was the defensive coordinator for the

366
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 3: Detroit Lions and had to try to figure out how

367
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 3: to defend Justin Fields. He knows what Justin Fields can

368
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 3: do to a defense. That is what he plans to do.

369
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 3: He told me at the March Annual meeting that they

370
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 3: are going to use all of Justin Field's skills passing

371
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 3: and running, so I'm not surprised you saw him on

372
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 3: the move a lot in OTA's balding.

373
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: Of coordinators hate facing running quarterbacks who can run and

374
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 1: throw and create with their legs, and makes sense. The

375
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: first thing that Aaron Glenn did was go out and

376
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 1: find one of his own, maybe so he doesn't have

377
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 1: to face him. Baldy, great stuff as always, Judy obviously

378
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: coming back and hanging out with us.

379
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 4: This is a speedy manner.

380
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,719
Speaker 8: Savior worthy to fast this man to even life. His

381
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 8: first time Kansas City touchdowns.

382
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 5: You throw it like sideline? Why open touchdown?

383
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 8: Make savor You're worthy.

384
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 10: The second time in the end zone in the first

385
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 10: game of his Terrere.

386
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 5: Man.

387
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 3: I remember that game that was the season opener, Sheets

388
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 3: over Ravens, and I remember thinking, how many touchdowns is

389
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 3: Xavior Worthy going to score this season?

390
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 5: Well, here is your answer.

391
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 3: Of rookies who had at least six receiving touchdowns and

392
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 3: at least three rushing touchdowns, there are three of them, Savi,

393
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 3: You're Worthy, Tyreek Hill and Hall of Famer Gail Sayers.

394
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 3: That is some pretty pretty good company for Xavier Worthy.

395
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 3: And now let's bring in our Jeffrey Chidio, who has

396
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 3: a column up right now on NFL dot Com eight

397
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 3: young players whose development could help propel their teams in

398
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 3: the upcoming twenty twenty five seasons.

399
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 5: So let's start with the obvious one. Is Xavier Worthy?

400
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, you start with him when I know that left

401
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 10: tackle is a huge iss for the Kansasity Chiefs.

402
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 4: They're trying to get that figured out.

403
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 10: But receiver has been a problem for this team the

404
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 10: last couple of years as well. Obviously lastly they lost

405
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 10: for Shee Rice and Hollywood Brown the injuries, and Rice

406
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 10: is probably going to be suspended.

407
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 4: This year, is still coming back from that knee injury.

408
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 10: I think Xavier Willy is going to play a bigger

409
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 10: role in this offense, a bigger role than people realize,

410
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 10: especially with Travis Kelcey also getting older. You look at

411
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 10: what he did towards the end of last season in Judy,

412
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 10: where he was their leading receiver in the AFC Championship Game.

413
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 10: He obviously was one of the few highlights sperient with

414
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 10: the Square Bowl when he had one hundred and fifty

415
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 10: seven yard receiving and two touchdowns there.

416
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 4: And he's been up more than a speech to Andrey.

417
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 10: He loves his ability to run all types of different

418
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 10: routes in his offense, So don't be surprised if certain

419
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 10: stretches of the year you're seeing Zavier Worthy be the

420
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,959
Speaker 10: number one target for Patrick Mahomes.

421
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 3: All right, let's go to the second person on your list,

422
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 3: Bill's tight end, Dalton kin Kid.

423
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, AC Championship game was not that great for him.

424
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 10: The last time we saw him, he was dropping that

425
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 10: pass from Josh Allen on that hurried passed at.

426
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 4: The end of that game. But you look at what

427
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 4: this guy was supposed to.

428
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 10: Mean to this offense last year, and I think people

429
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 10: don't realize how banged up he was a lot of

430
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 10: reports about the collar bone injury he had in mid

431
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 10: season affecting him obviously, reports after the ANC Championship game

432
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 10: that the knee injury he suffered was a big problem

433
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 10: for him coming down to stretch THO a good chance

434
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 10: he gets back to the form he had as a

435
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 10: rookie when he had seventy three catches. He only had

436
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 10: forty four last year. But he is such a Nightmayer,

437
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 10: a matchup Nightmayre for this team, and Brandon, being their

438
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 10: general manager, drafted him with the idea of him being

439
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 10: a movement tight end who could create big plays with

440
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 10: his athletic ability. So I imagine you know, Khalil shakerg Kean Coleman,

441
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 10: Josh Palmer, all those guys look at their targets. But

442
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 10: but Dalton and Cave should be a big part of

443
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 10: this offense as well.

444
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 3: I am looking forward to see how he recovers after

445
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 3: the way the season ended for him, because he is

446
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 3: a key component of a team that is oh so

447
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 3: close to toppling.

448
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 5: To Kansas City Chiefs these last few years. All right.

449
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 3: The third one that we're going to talk about, and

450
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 3: this one is a huge one, is Vikings quarterback and

451
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy.

452
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 10: Yes, so much talk about Caleb Williams in the NFC North,

453
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 10: but a lot of expectations around JJ McCarthy given what

454
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 10: that team did last year when he had that knee

455
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 10: injury and preseason had opened the door for Sam Darnold

456
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 10: to take off and have that magical year with that team.

457
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 10: They were super excited about what JJ McCarthy could do

458
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 10: in the preseason last year. They left his charisma and

459
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 10: his leadership, his intelligence. He is a guy who's one

460
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 10: hundred percent positivity all the time, and he was on

461
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 10: track to be the player they hoped he was going

462
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 10: to be when he.

463
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 4: Became a tenth overall pick. But I think losing that

464
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 4: year sitting behind Donald gave him a chance to really grow.

465
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 10: We'll forget he was twenty one years old when he

466
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 10: came into this league, and he's gonna have the same

467
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 10: stuff that Sam Darnold had. He's gonna have Justin Jefferson

468
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 10: and Jordan Madison and TJ. Hockinson and a good offensive line,

469
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 10: a great defense, so that out there there, he's good

470
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 10: that he's going to have success, and he needs to.

471
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 4: Have it, Judy, because that's the toughest division of football.

472
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 4: Every team has a great offense.

473
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 11: J J.

474
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 4: McCarthy has got to deliver for this team.

475
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 3: Definitely under a microscope after the kind of season that

476
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 3: the Vikings had last year with Sam Darnold and letting

477
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 3: him go and casting their luck with JJ McCarthy, Jeffrey,

478
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 3: thank you very much, and to read the entire list

479
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 3: NFL dot com slash Shadia.

480
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: Let's look at a list of players that are not

481
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: on my fantasy team.

482
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: That's really what we should have called this.

483
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: It says most fantasy points about second year players of

484
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: last year's second year players, which really it's like guys

485
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: that I didn't draft in probably should have. Thankfully I

486
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: get another chance this year. Hopefully my team will not

487
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: be as terrible as it was last year. Adam Rank,

488
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 1: welcome inside with the insiders. Thank you very much for

489
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: hanging out with us on a Friday, as you often

490
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: seem to do.

491
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 2: So let's stay right there in the theme.

492
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: I want you to take me through some young players

493
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: second year otherwise whose developments are going to help my

494
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: fancy team be less crappy than it was last year.

495
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 8: I don't know, Ian, I don't know if there's any

496
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 8: help for that.

497
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 2: No, we got you covered.

498
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 12: I'm ready for this and it's going to be inside

499
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 12: for a change, because if you can tell by the

500
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 12: color of my face, I might have been spending too

501
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 12: much time.

502
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 4: Out in the sun.

503
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 12: Maybe I should wear a hat when I'm out of

504
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 12: the golf man. A lot of golf guys a little bit,

505
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 12: a little bit, they're not getting better.

506
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 4: I don't know how that works.

507
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 12: But one guy who was going to get better this

508
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 12: season is going to be Roman dunes E. And I

509
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 12: think that last year, when you look at the overall numbers,

510
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 12: they're not great. He averaged less than ten Fantasy points

511
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,479
Speaker 12: per game. He was like the wide receiver fifty. It

512
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 12: wasn't great. And I think a lot of the issues

513
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 12: had to do with Shane Waldren. With everything that was

514
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 12: going on, the chaos that was happening with the Chicago Bears,

515
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 12: it was going to be difficult for anybody to put

516
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 12: up consistent numbers. But one thing that was consistent was

517
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 12: that he was getting targeted a ton in the in

518
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 12: the red zone and in the end zone, but still

519
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 12: wasn't able to contribute. I think that if that's something

520
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 12: that Ben Johnson can really hard us into, he could

521
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 12: be very successful this year. Last season he was one

522
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 12: of the biggest guys in unrealized air yards like he

523
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 12: was there getting open not getting him the ball. Again,

524
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 12: this might be a little bit of a big ass,

525
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 12: but if they can clean that up, it's going to

526
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 12: be a big year for Roma dunes A. Now, obviously

527
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 12: I would want to talk about Caleb Williams, but I

528
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 12: want to go back to somebody that Jeff was just

529
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 12: talking about with JJ McCarthy, and I think that this

530
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 12: is a guy to definitely look at this coming season.

531
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 12: When you look at the quarterbacks who have succeeded in

532
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 12: the Mike Shanahan coaching tree, and you think about the

533
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 12: guys like Nick Mullins and CJ. Bethard always come in

534
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 12: for spots starts and perform well. But when you have

535
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 12: good quarterbacks come in there, I'm thinking about brock Pertyes,

536
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 12: Sam Darnold. They go out there and they play exceptionally well.

537
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 12: And I think that that's where Jay McCarthy falls. When

538
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 12: you look at his college numbers at Michigan, they're not

539
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 12: going to be as gaudy as somebody else. However, he

540
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 12: was put in a position where he wasn't asked to

541
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 12: throw the ball a lot, and I think that the

542
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 12: scouting for him coming into the league shows that.

543
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 8: He could be a good quarterback moving forward.

544
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,479
Speaker 12: JJ McCarthy is going to be a guy that I

545
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 12: have on my teams this summer. And another guy I

546
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 12: need to have on my teams is Brian Thomas Junior.

547
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 12: And I know that you're looking at this, You're like, Okay, yeah,

548
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 12: he was great last year.

549
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 4: Absolutely he was.

550
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 12: He was eleventh amongst Fantasy wide receivers in points per game,

551
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 12: put up a lot of great numbers, a lot.

552
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 4: A ton of numbers.

553
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 12: But the thing that I want you to focus in

554
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 12: on is last year, when Evan Ingram was on the field,

555
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 12: he was averaging about thirteen Fantasy points per game. Without

556
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 12: Evan Ingram, he was averaging over twenty Fantasy points per game.

557
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 12: And now Evan Ingram is going to be in Denver.

558
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 12: They brought in they brought in Travis Hunter. And I

559
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 12: know a lot of people have questions about that way,

560
00:24:58,400 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 12: what about Travis Hunt?

561
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 4: Heideah, Okay, I get it. But the thing of it is.

562
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 12: Having a explosive player like Travis Hunter will open it

563
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 12: up more for Brian Thomas Junior. So when you're looking

564
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 12: at Brian Thomas Junior. I look at it much the

565
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 12: same way is when Justin Jefferson was going into his

566
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 12: second season in Minnesota. Brian Thomas Junior, if he's not

567
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 12: drafted in the first round this year, and I'm talking

568
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 12: about the end of the first round, it's going to

569
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 12: be a mistake. He needs to be drafted in the

570
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 12: first round.

571
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 1: Well, luckily, in my league, he's not going to be

572
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: drafted in any round because he is a keeper.

573
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 2: He's going to be one of my keepers. So let's go.

574
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: Hearing you talk about that really makes me happy. Which

575
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: I don't know why you're here except to make me happy.

576
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 2: So this is perfect.

577
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 4: That's right, right, Well, I'm here.

578
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 2: Thank you as always for hanging out with us. This

579
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 2: is great.

580
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 1: Go play some more golf. Maybe you can finally get

581
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: a little collar on that face and maybe they're you're

582
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: bald head of yours.

583
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 4: The like.

584
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: All we've heard about the Lions this offseason is how

585
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: hard their schedule is. Well to get there, to play well,

586
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: to be ready, they got to practice.

587
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 2: This is what they're doing this week.

588
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: The final day of OTAs has come and gone. All

589
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: of this Lions talk all of us getting ready for

590
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: how good they are going to be.

591
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 2: We are not alone.

592
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, among others, certainly believes in his Lions and

593
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: in some of his big time young players. We planed

594
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: who he expects to emerge even more this coming season.

595
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 13: We expect him to have a huge season. We really

596
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 13: do man so much versatility with him. There's so many

597
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 13: things that we can do just with his routes on

598
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 13: the outside. I mean we can do things inside, but

599
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 13: just with his speed and he's he's gotten so much stronger.

600
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 13: He's moving well, you don't see him favoring anything. I mean,

601
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 13: he's been and he's grabbing the grass. He's you know,

602
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 13: he looks confident. And there again that's without pads. So

603
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 13: there's nothing to tell me that man that the guy

604
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 13: has not recovered are going to be recovered.

605
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 2: Well, both those guys come out in that big time years.

606
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 1: Lions are going to be just as good as they

607
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 1: were last year, probably better. And welcome back with the

608
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: inside of Ian Rapaport, Judebatista Baldy joining us once again.

609
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: Our buddy Kevin Patrick has a big list on NFL

610
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: dot Com of every team's offseason priorities, so let's dig

611
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: in right now on these Detroit Lions. Baldy, I will

612
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: start with you, where do the Lions need to go

613
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: from here?

614
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 9: And I can't look at pass rush and what they

615
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 9: have right now and say they need help still. I mean,

616
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,199
Speaker 9: Aidon Hutchinson is certainly going to help. They drafted Tyler Williams,

617
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 9: who's an interior player that will help. But Market Davenport

618
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 9: is coming back. Marc's played eighty nine snaps last year

619
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 9: and he has a strong injury history.

620
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 8: They released Sadaria Smith.

621
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 9: I still feel like they could add somebody to their

622
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 9: pass rush right now to reinforce it, because they were

623
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 9: not good defensively down to stretch.

624
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 8: They gave up forty five.

625
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 9: At home and a playoff loss to Washington. They gave

626
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 9: up forty eight to Buffalo in a home loss in

627
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 9: December to the Buffalo Bills. They I think pass rush

628
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 9: is still a position of need for this defense, for

629
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 9: this team right now.

630
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 1: Well, let's say in this division. In fact, we're going

631
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: to go through the entire division. So Judy hit us

632
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 1: with the Minnesota Vikings what their priority is for this offseason.

633
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 3: Well, we've spent a bit of time in the last

634
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 3: few minutes talking about JJ McCarthy, and certainly that is

635
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 3: the overarching priority, is getting him ready. But I also

636
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 3: wonder about what they're going to do at safety because

637
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 3: they lost Cam Binam in free agency and they really

638
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 3: didn't replace him.

639
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 5: Brian Flores uses.

640
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 3: Three safeties quite a bit, so I guess I'm curious

641
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 3: what they're going to do. Are they going to still

642
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 3: go out and get a veteran safety.

643
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 5: Justin Simmons is still out there unsigned.

644
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 3: Is Brian Flores satisfied with what they've got on the roster.

645
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 3: Is he perhaps just going to use three safeties less

646
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 3: than he did last season? We will see, but that

647
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 3: is an area that I would keep an eye on

648
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 3: because it is still pretty unsettled from something that was

649
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 3: an area of strength for them last season.

650
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: The Lions who've done Vikings Baldy, Let's go back to

651
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: you talk to me about the Green Bay Packers.

652
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 2: Where do they go from here? What is their number

653
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 2: one offseason priority?

654
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 9: Well, I mean they addressed their biggest need wide receiver,

655
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 9: you know, in the draft with Matthew Golden Sadie On Williams.

656
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 9: They were not strong at all in their playoff loss

657
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 9: to the Philadelphia Eagles. I mean they were throwing to

658
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 9: Malie Heath and to Bo Melton and they were not

659
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 9: getting it done, and they weren't getting it open. It

660
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 9: was and Jordan Love was struggling. So building that chemistry

661
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 9: with those receivers. And then I think, you know, last

662
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 9: towards the end of the season, they turned over the

663
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 9: mike linebacker position Edgrin Cooper. He was their second round

664
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 9: pick out of Texas A and M, and he was

665
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 9: an immediate upgrade. And so I thought in the new

666
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 9: defense that Jeff Haffley put in, Edrick Cooper is a

667
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 9: guy that we all should be paying attention to. This

668
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 9: guy's got elite speed. I call him urgent care because

669
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 9: his ability to diagnose an offensive play instant. And so

670
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 9: I think he's going to upgrade the defense. He'll get

671
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 9: out there full time, probably Kway Walker, you know, a

672
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 9: couple other guys, but that's going to be an upgrade

673
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,959
Speaker 9: on the defense right now as they start this season.

674
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 2: Urging here is a great nickname.

675
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: What I'd really like to know is all of Baldy's

676
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: like tape watching nicknames for all of these guys, please

677
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: just kind of mix it in a little bit when

678
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: you're for your Twitter analysis, which you know we all, yes,

679
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: we all tune into Judy one more from you the

680
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears.

681
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 2: You know, I've been in the news a little bit

682
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 2: over the course of the week.

683
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, K Williams father, books that are coming out,

684
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: all of those things. Take me through what the Bears

685
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: offseason priority is.

686
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 3: Well, the big priority is all about Caleb Williams. He

687
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 3: is at the center of their universe and it is

688
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,479
Speaker 3: all about giving him the best chance for success. A

689
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 3: big part of that is going to be the running attack.

690
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 3: Think about Ben Johnson's offense in Detroit and how multi

691
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 3: dimensional it was. Yes, it was Jared goffin those receivers,

692
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 3: but it was also.

693
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 5: A really dynamic running attack.

694
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 3: They don't quite have the caliber of running back that

695
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 3: the Detroit Lions had on their roster last season. They

696
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 3: have DeAndre Swift, they have ro Shawn Johnson. It's good,

697
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 3: it's just not that sort of elite explosiveness like he

698
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 3: had at the Lions.

699
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 5: Is that okay?

700
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 3: They also upgraded the offensive line, so do they believe

701
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 3: that with better blocking maybe they will.

702
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 5: Get more production out of those running backs?

703
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 3: Perhaps could they perhaps still sign a veteran running back.

704
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 5: Maybe they do that too.

705
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 3: Certainly, everything that the Bears have done this offseason in

706
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,959
Speaker 3: free agency in the draft has been all about enhancing

707
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams and putting as many pieces around him to

708
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 3: allow him.

709
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 5: To sort of restart his career.

710
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 3: I would say the running back position is a key

711
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 3: part of that offensive success.

712
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 8: Yeah.

713
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: I mean, look, there's no doubt what the Chicago Bears

714
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 1: have done on their offensive line. They've spent capital, They've

715
00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: done trades, they've spent money, contracts, all of the things

716
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: to make sure that Caleb Williams is comfortable and we

717
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: will see how it turns out. But'sternly that has been

718
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: their big time area of focus, just like Baldy's area

719
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: of focus this past weekend was not on football.

720
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 2: But I'm yeah, I don't see Baldy him. Is that true? Baldi,

721
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 2: take us through what's happening here.

722
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 9: They just I mean, look, this guy is like he's

723
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 9: just being a nuisance, so you just got to push

724
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 9: him away. I mean, like he's not in attack mode,

725
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 9: you know, he's just like feeling me out right here.

726
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 9: And I'm just like, look, I'm here to protect a quarterback.

727
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 9: Get off me, go do another, go someplace else. So

728
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 9: I was just getting them away from me right here,

729
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 9: like just doing what I was instructed to do, just

730
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 9: good coaching.

731
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 8: I took it to the field, push him away if

732
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 8: they get a little too a little too bother something.

733
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 8: That's what we're doing.

734
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 5: Are you sure?

735
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 8: Yeah?

736
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 9: Oh, no cageous judy, No cages, just open open water,

737
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 9: just a couple of miles off the coast of Jupiter.

738
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 4: Uh.

739
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 8: Yeah.

740
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 9: We were trying to bring him around us, but they

741
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 9: got a little too close at times. But they were

742
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 9: not aggressive. You could see. They were just like bumping

743
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 9: into things.

744
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: Are you sure that the sharks nickname for you is

745
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: an urgent care like we I would.

746
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 8: Like to know that. Yeah.

747
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 9: I mean I didn't know that video was coming up,

748
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,959
Speaker 9: but I got a bunch of video today that that

749
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 9: was taken. You know last week. I was like, I

750
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 9: was kind of like, oh, I forgot about when he

751
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 9: bumped into me right there. My little GoPro was filming

752
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 9: on my shit. That was pretty nice. That's a good

753
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 9: close up.

754
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, totally forgot about what.

755
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 9: We had plenty of chump for him. They were well fed,

756
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 9: Blieve me, they didn't need us. They weren't interested.

757
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: I wasn't nervous. Just so we're clear, I was not

758
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: scared that the sharks didn't have enough to eat.

759
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 2: Okay, good?

760
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 7: Uh.

761
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 2: Coming up next, the Insiders.

762
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: We know about Justin Herbert with the Los Angeles Chargers.

763
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: He is not the only key member of this franchise

764
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: named Herbert.

765
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 2: And this is true. Let's get into it. Omar Ruiz

766
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 2: coming up. He's not gonna talk about sharks, but he's

767
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 2: going to talk about her.

768
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 8: Right.

769
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 11: My name is Hamza mad I'm the director of football

770
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 11: Operations here with the Jacksonville Jaguars, finishing up my twelfth

771
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 11: season here. I'm originally from Pakistan. I was born in

772
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 11: Saudi Arabia and was the only Pakistani kid on a

773
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 11: military base, so I grew up with a bunch of

774
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 11: military families and kids. My dad was an engineer and

775
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 11: helped build military bases out in Saudi Arabia. Food is

776
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 11: definitely a huge part of our culture and my dad

777
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 11: used to make chicken tikas and he made it on

778
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 11: the grill the right way. And somosa's were something that

779
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 11: my mom used to make and she used to send

780
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 11: it over to me and my roommate. The meat is

781
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 11: wrapped and it's typically from the unique part about working

782
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 11: for the Jaguars is that we have an owner that's

783
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 11: from where I'm from. That's definitely super cool for me

784
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 11: to come into the organization and have a role model

785
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 11: like that that has been successful and done well. There

786
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 11: aren't a whole lot of Pakistani Indian folks around the NFL.

787
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 11: It's always really really important for me to be able

788
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 11: to make that connection with them.

789
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 3: The Chargers also marked aa NHPI month. That celebration wraps

790
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 3: up this weekend. Also at the Chargers, you definitely know

791
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 3: the name Herbert, Justin Herbert. Have you heard of a

792
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,800
Speaker 3: guy named Ben Herbert. They want you to get familiar

793
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 3: with his work. Chargers executive director of player Performance. He

794
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 3: spent six seasons under Jim Harbott the University of Mission,

795
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 3: former Wisconsin defensive aligneman.

796
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 5: Let's bring in our Omar Ruiz, who knows the Chargers

797
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:49,720
Speaker 5: pretty well.

798
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 3: I got to admit, Omar I did not know Ben

799
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 3: Herbert's game.

800
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 5: I want to hear more about his impact on the Chargers.

801
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, because you know, Justin Herbert is obviously going to

802
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 6: impact the Chargers, but expecting a big impact from Ben

803
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 6: Herbert and being out there at OTAs. This week, we

804
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 6: heard his name brought up a couple times by DB's

805
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 6: and you know, Judy, DB's not the position group most

806
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,919
Speaker 6: famous for wanting to work out in the weight room,

807
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 6: but there is an eagerness and an appreciation for Ben

808
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 6: Herbert and what he's done this offseason really since he's

809
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 6: been there coming in with Jim Harbaugh last year. In fact,

810
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 6: speaking to somebody in the building a couple weeks ago,

811
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 6: one of their hoping secret successes to this season is

812
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 6: that second.

813
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 4: Year with Ben Herbert.

814
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 6: And I heard Tony Jefferson, who's in his eleventh twelfth season,

815
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 6: longtime veteran safety in the NFL, said this is the

816
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 6: best strength and performance coach he's ever worked with. In fact,

817
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 6: he said, as long as he works with Ben Herbert,

818
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 6: he pens to continue to play in the NFL. He

819
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 6: feels here, he is refreshed, he's ready to go. And

820
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 6: even a guy like tarheb Still, who flashed as a

821
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 6: rookie there at cornerback position for the Chargers last season,

822
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 6: coming into his second year, he's been working out Monday

823
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 6: through Friday with that strength and performance coach in Ben Herbert,

824
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 6: and he said he was walking out on a Thursday

825
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 6: and he said see you later to Coach Herbert and

826
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 6: Khalil Mack was their said why don't you come here

827
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 6: on a Friday? So still they're working Monday through Friday.

828
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 6: And it's really because of the explanation that Herbert goes

829
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 6: through to the extent of the small microscopic muscles, some

830
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 6: muscles that Tony Jefferson said he's never even heard of,

831
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 6: but they're football specific with neck and shoulders, something that

832
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 6: maybe we take for granted, we just automatically assume they do.

833
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 4: But they said it's not the case.

834
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 6: This is different and unique for what they're doing there

835
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 6: with the Chargers. And we talked about it yesterday, Judy,

836
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 6: when Steve Whitch and I were out at practice. How big, strong,

837
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 6: physically impressive these Chargers are a lot of that has

838
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 6: to do with what Ben Herbert does here in the offseason.

839
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 3: You know, usually in the NFL, don't the teams don't

840
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 3: want you to be talking about the behind the scenes guy, Right,

841
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 3: those are people we're not supposed to be paying any

842
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 3: attention to. But clearly we know availability and durability and

843
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 3: strength so important in a long NFL season, so he

844
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 3: will have surely a big impact on the Charger's home

845
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 3: aren't Ruiz?

846
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:12,919

855
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: We got a little bit of news today from one

856
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 1: of our friends, Scott Hanson, who not only told us

857
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,240
Speaker 1: it's one hundred days until the next NFL Red Zone,

858
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 1: he also told us that he will be there with

859
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: us a lot of touchdowns to watch together.

860
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 2: As Hanson notes.

861
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say there was some questions

862
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:01,720
Speaker 1: about contractually Scott Hanson and confirms the news for anyone

863
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: else could tweet it.

864
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 2: He is back.

865
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: Speaking of back, Look how much is on the back

866
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,280
Speaker 1: of Rams puncher Ethan Evans.

867
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 2: Have you heard of Ethan Evans?

868
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: You probably have now that is one two for seven

869
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: hundred and five pounds. I counted all the plates. It

870
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: is totally normal that he is squatting.

871
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 2: That that is what I do. We call that Tuesday,

872
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 2: no big deal.

873
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: But anyway, he's a punch, so certainly something we should

874
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: be impressed by. Speaking of things we don't always see.

875
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: Matthew Golden, the Green.

876
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 2: Bay Packers first rounder, is wearing number twenty two, which

877
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 2: is a little odd. Let's hear him explain.

878
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 8: Why twenty two so unique? Number four receiver Matthew gold wide.

879
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 14: Receiver number twenty two become my great grandmother da favorite

880
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 14: number was two. That's the number award throughout college, makes

881
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 14: the church. The last time Packers took a receiver was

882
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 14: two thousand and two, and also twenty two teams passed.

883
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 4: On me in the draft.

884
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 14: For me, you just number keep me motivated to keep going,

885
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 14: and so I'll do a lot of great.

886
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 8: Things in twenty two.

887
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 2: I like it. That is some confidence in a very

888
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 2: very strange number.

889
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,240
Speaker 1: It makes sense when he says it like that, but still,

890
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 1: I mean, look, we've gotten.

891
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 2: Used to players wearing strange numbers.

892
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 1: Because all the shackles are off, you could sort of

893
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: wear whatever you want, But twenty two is odd. I'm

894
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:26,839
Speaker 1: sure he's going to do well, but it's just odd

895
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: to me, which leads to this question. And I'll start

896
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 1: with you, Judy, and then you can jump right in

897
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: after this.

898
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 2: What's the worst number in the NFL?

899
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 3: Well, I think this is the old newspaper reporter in

900
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 3: me thinking, don't give the headline writers any cheap material.

901
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 3: Do not wear number zero. The jokes just write themselves.

902
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 3: Don't do that to yourself. I mean, just a disaster.

903
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 3: If you drop a pass zero, it's don't do this.

904
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 3: Stay away from the number zero everyone.

905
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 6: I'm an aesthetics person, and aesthetically I think.

906
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 2: Nineteen looks funny. I know you at Johnny Unitis.

907
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 6: When I was a kid watching Bernie Cosar, I thought

908
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 6: it was funny looking. But I think the headliner there

909
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 6: was Joe Montana in a Kansas City Chiefs uniform, and

910
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 6: so I don't know if it was so weird because

911
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 6: it was Joe Montana, not in his signature sixteen forty

912
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 6: nine er uniform, it was the nineteen itself. But nineteen

913
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 6: I think just looks funny on an NFL uniform.

914
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you're both wrong. The correct answer is forty.

915
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: Every number with a forty is awful and ugly for you.

916
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to Gail Sayers, but that's the answer.

917
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 4: Hi,
