10
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: And what do you know, We've got a little of that.

11
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: Quarterback drama in New York, though it has nothing to

12
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 1: do with a contract for the second straight day. The

13
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: talk of the town, that guy who was not there,

14
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers the New York Post thrilled to have some

15
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: backcoage wordplay on a at a time when Ian's metz

16
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: are too irrelevant to kick around. Robert Sola second straight

17
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: day for him as well, have an answer a lot

18
00:00:59,480 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: of questions.

19
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: It's about the one guy who's not in uniform.

20
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 3: There was a lot of craziness that came off of Aaron's.

21
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 4: App sus yesterday as expected. Did you have any contact

22
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 4: with him.

23
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 5: I talked to him after between yesterday today.

24
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 4: No I happened, Robert.

25
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 6: You said that you spoke You were aware that Aaron

26
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 6: was not going to be here before yesterday?

27
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 7: Is that correct?

28
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 8: And Tyrod said he.

29
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 4: Had only found out that morning.

30
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 6: Is there any reason that wh wasn't communicated to him

31
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 6: before or No.

32
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 3: It's a one on one conversation. It's not something that

33
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 3: the team needed to know about.

34
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 6: Think you're getting some blowback from media people about the

35
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 6: use of the word unexcused, and because you were okay

36
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 6: with him not being here if they did use the

37
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 6: word unexcused, I'm wondering maybe if you could clarify why.

38
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 8: You use that word.

39
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 6: And also did you tell Rod Darren though he was

40
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 6: going to be termed unexcused and he reacted to that.

41
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 3: No, you're fine, talked about it yesterday, but Aaron, Aaron

42
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: and I are on the exact same page. There's no

43
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 3: issue between Aaron or his teammates for that matter. So,

44
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: like I said, we addressed it yesterday. It's more of

45
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 3: an issue for everyone outside the building than it is inside.

46
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 4: And that's about it.

47
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: We said it yesterday when this began with the surprise announcement.

48
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers not there in Florin Park for the start

49
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: of the only mandatory session of the off season. It's

50
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: two practices in June. It's probably going to have absolutely

51
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: no burying on how the Jets the offense Aaron Rodgers

52
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: look when we get into September.

53
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: But this is the story, the factor.

54
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: For the second straight day, You've got Jets players and

55
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: coaches having to go up and try to explain for

56
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers why he had a very important event that

57
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: apparently was more important than showing up for the last

58
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: session of the offseason. Ian, you weren't here yesterday. He

59
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to weigh in on this. Tell

60
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: me what you.

61
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: Make of what has taking place right now in New York.

62
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 9: Well, first of all, that Robert style interview basically seemed

63
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 9: to be like a postgame interview from like November.

64
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 8: It was firing squad.

65
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 9: It was solid, clearly perturbed, same questions over and over again.

66
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 8: Yes, we went over this yesterday.

67
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 9: It seemed like a postgame press conference, and nobody on

68
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 9: a losing one. By the way, nobody seems to want

69
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,839
Speaker 9: to be part of that. Let me go through first

70
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 9: of all, what this is not. It's not nothing. It's

71
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 9: nothing that's going to make the team actually distracted. Like

72
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 9: it's not like players were going to study their playbook

73
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 9: and now because they're worried about Aaron Rodgers, they're not.

74
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 8: It's nothing that really affects football.

75
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 9: But what it is is a perception issue. It is

76
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 9: a lightning Rodt. Look, we're all talking about it because

77
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 9: it's June and there's not a ton else to talk about.

78
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 8: Real football news doesn't really come in June.

79
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 9: So the fact that we were able to talk about this,

80
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 9: it's great for us, but it's not going to be

81
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 9: great for Aaron Rodgers. And especially if things don't get

82
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 9: off to the kind of swimming start that everyone hopes,

83
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 9: it's going to be just another thing for fans and

84
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 9: critics to latch onto and say, how dedicated is he

85
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 9: to football? How badly does he want to really get

86
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 9: distractions out? What about minicamp? It's just another thing. And

87
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 9: the fact that the post could very truthfully put on

88
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 9: the back page here's what Rogers said, and here's what

89
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 9: he did, and have all of it be accurate and fair,

90
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 9: that at the least is a perception problem for Aaron Rodgers.

91
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 4: I don't know.

92
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 10: I mean, does it become a distraction, does it become

93
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 10: a story because we ask about it, right, or does

94
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 10: it become a distraction and a story or an issue

95
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 10: inside the building because it's an issue inside the building,

96
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 10: which I don't sense that it is.

97
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 8: Well, you think the players are talking about.

98
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 5: It, players are being asked about it.

99
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 10: I don't know that players are talking about it like

100
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 10: as if like where's our quarterback?

101
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 5: This is a problem. I don't get. I don't get

102
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 5: that sense.

103
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 10: I don't And so we sit here and say like, oh,

104
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 10: it's an issue. It's like a distraction, it's inconsistency, it's

105
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 10: all these things.

106
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 5: The only thing that.

107
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 10: Really matters is if an issue there And as I

108
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 10: said yesterday, it's only an issue right now in my mind.

109
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 10: If it's an issue for Rogers that he was basically

110
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 10: put on blast and that Salah used the word unexcused.

111
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 5: What you heard that he was asked about, Yeah, I

112
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 5: don't know.

113
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 10: And I saw the notion that maybe, you know, the

114
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 10: Jets should have let us know that this was coming.

115
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 10: Here's the only problem with that. Yeah, the day that

116
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 10: they do that, it's a story. And then the first

117
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 10: day of Mini Caamp, there's more cameras, there's more reports

118
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 10: because everybody knows he's not going to be there, so

119
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 10: they're there to do the story if him not be

120
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 10: So that's a two day story, well one day plus

121
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 10: the start of camp mini camp instead of the start

122
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 10: of minicamp, which I guess it's technically now a two

123
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 10: day story because we're still talking about it.

124
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: Well, the other piece of this is the fact that

125
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers set this up to become an issue. Back

126
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: in January, we're listening to guy played four snaps. As

127
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: we all know, the Jets stumbled, they made multiple quarterback changes.

128
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: They actually won some games early on, but then end

129
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: up finishing seven to ten.

130
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: Rogers comes out, he.

131
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: Lays down the law right after the regular season ends,

132
00:05:58,839 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: and he says.

133
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 11: This, if you want to be a winning organization, man

134
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 11: to put some position to win championships and be competitive,

135
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 11: everything that you do matters, and that has nothing to

136
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 11: do with winning needs to get out of the building.

137
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,239
Speaker 11: So that'll be the focus moving forward.

138
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: All right, let's welcome in our Bucky Brooks. Bucky, you

139
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: played in the league, you worked on the scouting sides,

140
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: you've been in front offices. You've seen this from different perspectives.

141
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: What I can't get over is this Aaron Rodgers stands

142
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: there says we've got to get the distractions out of

143
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: the building. Even if you set aside everything over the

144
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: last five months with Aaron Rodgers and political aspirations and

145
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: everything else, this is the very literal definition of a

146
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: distraction mini camp. And you mean this celebration, we're fired

147
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: up about the young guys, we're right a role we're

148
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 1: peeking before we get this break before training camp. And

149
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: instead the questions that they're facing and Robert saul Is,

150
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: as Mike put it, looks like he just lost. The

151
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: football game is all about the guy who's not on

152
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: the field. In your mind, from your perspective, how much

153
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: does or does this not matter right now?

154
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 12: Look, it matters now because we're in the middle of

155
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 12: like with June and there's nothing going on. It doesn't

156
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 12: matter in the bigger scheme of things. At the end

157
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 12: of the day, the Jets are going to be judged

158
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 12: on the way that Aaron Rodgers plays. And so even

159
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 12: though this is a minor distraction, it's a minor hiccup.

160
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 12: Aaron Rodgers has to know that if I play well,

161
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 12: all of this will be forgotten, and so he just

162
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 12: has to continue to understand that I got to play

163
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 12: like a four time MVP. If I play at an

164
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 12: MVP level, the Jets are going to win and all

165
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 12: of this will be forgiven. But if I don't play well,

166
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 12: this will be thrown back in my face and it

167
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 12: will be one of the many distractions that in New

168
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 12: York jests have faced since he arrives, and so it

169
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 12: just puts more pressure on him to play at a

170
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 12: high level.

171
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 8: But right now it's probably bigger than it.

172
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 12: Needs to be, just because we don't have any real

173
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 12: football to talk about.

174
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 2: We do have mini camps.

175
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: Though this week, Bucket, we we've got players on the

176
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: field practical only a couple more days this and that

177
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: we've got we had that little break in there.

178
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: Before we're seeing anybody out there again. But you know

179
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: who was on the field today, Lamar.

180
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: Jackson and Zay Flowers looking like they did during Lamar's

181
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: MVP season. Hook it up right here to South Florida,

182
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: guys who I'm sure are going to be doing this

183
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: during that break before training camp. Though we're to Lamar

184
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like everybody is necessarily on board with that plan.

185
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 10: Have you talked at all a look with the receivers

186
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 10: A tight ends about getting together for an offseason, either

187
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 10: for a summer break from a session, means that's something

188
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 10: that you would like to do.

189
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 4: I would love to do that.

190
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 13: You know, some guys don't want to leave a state.

191
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 13: They're gonna have to come to South Florida. They're gonna

192
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 13: have to do it. We got to We're trying to

193
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 13: get to that super Bowl, man, and for us to

194
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 13: do that, we gotta ground.

195
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 4: We gotta be a chemisy.

196
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: We can start going down the list of who lives where,

197
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: who might have grown up or gone to college a

198
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: certain place, who might not want to take a longer

199
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: flight to get down there to South Florida.

200
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 2: As we bring back in.

201
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: Our Mike garfula, I'm not I guys he here, Mike

202
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 1: in that LaVar is calling anybody out with.

203
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 2: That particular thing.

204
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 1: But maybe a little public pressure because you know Lamar

205
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: on the socials, he's gonna be posting everything of those workouts.

206
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 2: If you're like, hey, you know who's not there. He's

207
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: left the.

208
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 5: Bread crumbs now for us to figure this thing out.

209
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do.

210
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 10: Believe that this was half in jest, but I believe

211
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 10: that it was also half of Lamar being a leader

212
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 10: and saying we need to get some work in and

213
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 10: be on the same page. Now, he wasn't there for

214
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 10: all of the springs, so you could say, Lamar, practice

215
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 10: what you preach, right, you should have been there for

216
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 10: all of the OTAs there. But it is something that

217
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 10: he's done in the past, wants to do again, and

218
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 10: wants to have the chemistry with his whiteouts, which he

219
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 10: seemed like he did have last year in a new

220
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 10: offense in Todd Munkin's offense. Now you're in year two,

221
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 10: so I think you're gonna see a little bit even

222
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 10: more comfortability.

223
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 5: Plus, when you factor.

224
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 10: In the defense, they're gonna have to worry about Derrick

225
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 10: Henry and a power running game as well.

226
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 5: You think that that should help as well.

227
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 10: But listen, I'm all for Lamar Jackson, whether it's half

228
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 10: in jest or serious or whatever, putting some public pressure

229
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 10: in his guys and saying, hey, yeah, we've got to

230
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 10: get some work in if we want to get to

231
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 10: that super Bowl. We've done a great job of getting

232
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 10: to the playoffs, but if we want to get to

233
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 10: that Super Bowl, Bucky.

234
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 5: We got to grind and you got to grind it

235
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 5: at South Florida heat and humidity.

236
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 4: Look, Mike, you alluded to it.

237
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 12: I would probably appreciate those cinemas more if he had

238
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 12: been there the entire offseason because then they also could

239
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 12: have built some chemistry while they were working in the

240
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 12: building in Baltimore. But the pressure really is on Lamar

241
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 12: Jackson to take his game up another level. He won

242
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 12: an MVP a season ago. This team played well for

243
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 12: the majority of the season, laid an egg in the postseason,

244
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 12: and as they continue to fall short in the postseason,

245
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 12: more pressure goes to Lamar Jackson.

246
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 5: Can he get this team to the next level.

247
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 12: So I want to see the two time MVP hit

248
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 12: the ground running from the start. So whatever they need

249
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 12: to do in training camp to make sure they have

250
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 12: the necessary chemistry and continuity to play well from the start,

251
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 12: it needs to happen because all eyes on Lamar Jackson

252
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 12: and how he gets this offense going very very quickly.

253
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 4: In twenty twenty four, we'll.

254
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: See about that chemistry and continuity. One thing bucket we

255
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: know they have is Derrick Henry, a very unique type

256
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: of a player real quick. How do you imagine Derrick

257
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: Henry's presence is going to change the dynamic of that

258
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: Ravens offense.

259
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 12: Well, if this was the old version of the offense,

260
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 12: I absolutely would love it because we know they will

261
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 12: be a very physical down here running team Todd Munkett

262
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 12: utilizes a different strategy, but Derrick Henry still gives them

263
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 12: a viable threat, two time rushing champs, someone who can

264
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 12: close out games. Just the thought of Derrick Henry and

265
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 12: Lamar Jackson doing some power reads, some option stuff will.

266
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 5: Make defenses falls. This could be a huge addition for

267
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 5: the Baltimore Ravens.

268
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 8: They just need to make sure they.

269
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 12: Do a good job of managing the load so Dereck

270
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 12: Henry can be at his best during the last half

271
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 12: of the season, because if he's healthy and available, he

272
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 12: and Lamar Jackson could give upon his problems as a

273
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 12: two headed monster in the backfield.

274
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: AFC North Top to bottom one of the most fascinating

275
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: divisions in for not just because they got the raining

276
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: NFL MVP, because we've got a lot going on right

277
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: now in Pittsford. Mike Tomlin just signed his contract extension

278
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: and they brought in two new quarterbacks, including.

279
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 2: That guy Russell Wilson. Shocking.

280
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: We've got a great looking photo of russ out there

281
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: on the practice field. He's competing with another guy, Justin Fields,

282
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: who was acquired a course back in March in a

283
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 1: trade from Chicago. And it's take to say Justin Fields

284
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: has noticed a little bit of a difference.

285
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 14: Is there a new energy that you get being in

286
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 14: a different organization, going through mini camp in a different

287
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 14: way for the first time.

288
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 15: I think, so, you know, just being around a new team,

289
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 15: uh uh, an organization.

290
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 4: That's you know, just just with this culture.

291
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 15: You know, me being in two different places now, you

292
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 15: just I realize that, you know, you don't get this

293
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 15: cultures everywhere. I think Chicago, I think they are, you know,

294
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 15: kind of changing the narrative now. But I mean this

295
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 15: has just been the culture here for so many years

296
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 15: to where I mean, you can see it. It's just

297
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 15: the way that you know, attack each the other day,

298
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 15: and I'm coach, he stays honest about it. So I

299
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 15: think I'm just having that and then reiterating fact each

300
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 15: and every day that keeps guysing the toes.

301
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 1: On Guys Day day, we'll set aside these subtexts right

302
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: there of what Justin Fields had to say about Chicago

303
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 1: that they're starting to figure some things. I can see

304
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: the wheels turning his head like I don't want to

305
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: crush him really hard right now, because it seems like

306
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: everybody's pretty excited about the Bears at this point. But

307
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: ian in Chicago, we know Mike Tomlin has said over

308
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: and over Russell Wilson's in the pole position. Arthur Smith

309
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: reiterated it that Russell Wilson is still in the pole

310
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: position as this thing moves forward. What will you be

311
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: looking for to determine exactly how the Steelers are going

312
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: to use potentially both these quarterbacks come September.

313
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 9: Well, first of all, I'm going to go to kind

314
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 9: of what Russell Wilson said recently, talked about feeling rejuvenated,

315
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 9: feeling like he found the fountain of youth, which is

316
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 9: a very good thing.

317
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 8: The last couple of years.

318
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 9: We're no doubt all, and I think he's in a

319
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 9: much better situation this year on the field, with the

320
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 9: supporting cast around him, with Arthur Smith, who should be

321
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 9: a very very good offensive coordinator, just as he was

322
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 9: before he got the Falcons job.

323
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 8: So feeling rejuvenated is a good thing, but feeling like.

324
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 9: He's young again, that to me is one where I

325
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 9: really do wonder what he means.

326
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 8: Because, of course, Russell Wilson.

327
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 9: Was a quarterback who ran around, who scrambled, who scrambled

328
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 9: to throw, who was really loose to who never got hit,

329
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 9: seam never got hit hard, was kind of able to

330
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 9: move as he wanted. He is certainly much older now,

331
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 9: he is at a different stage in his career, and

332
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 9: I hope he doesn't mean we are going to see

333
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 9: the run around Russ that we saw for the first

334
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 9: let's say decade.

335
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 8: That to me would be the only thing.

336
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 9: I would say, Let's just see how this unfolds and

337
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 9: what version we get of Russell Wilson. I would also say,

338
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 9: obviously he is in pole position, but Justin Fields is

339
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 9: very confident and very very serious, and you know, if

340
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 9: there's a small bit of opening, he is going to

341
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 9: do everything.

342
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 8: He possibly can to jump through that.

343
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 9: These preseason games, even if we sort of think Russ

344
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 9: is going to be starting Week one, these preseason games

345
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 9: are going to be really really interesting, especially as it

346
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 9: relates to Justin Fields.

347
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 10: Yeah, Mike Tomon likes to use these preseason games to

348
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 10: kind of get a feel for the regular season and

349
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 10: a feel for the atmosphere that these guys.

350
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 5: Are going to face.

351
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 10: So you know he'll be using those games to evaluate

352
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 10: how these guys, both of them respond to it, how

353
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 10: they perform. And justin Field is certainly capable of making

354
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 10: wold plays, So if he makes a few of those

355
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 10: in those preseason games, it'll give us some conversation topics

356
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 10: here on the insiders to have here.

357
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 5: But in Russell Wilson's case, feeling revived.

358
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 10: I just every time I look at this, and when

359
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 10: you have conversations with people in Pittsburgh and around Pittsburgh

360
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 10: and around the team, you get the sense that there's

361
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 10: a lot of positivity, and maybe he didn't have that

362
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 10: the last couple of years. So when you feel the revived,

363
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 10: this is the guy early in his career and Pete

364
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 10: Carroll and he vibed in a lot of ways, and

365
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 10: Carol loved to preach to positivity. I think he's feeling

366
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 10: that more than anything right now. So that's that feeling

367
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 10: of love and a feeling of a preciation and the

368
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 10: feeling of being lifted up. So I can't imagine a

369
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 10: better scenario for Russell Wilson, at least from that standpoint

370
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 10: than what he is experiencing right now in Pittsburgh.

371
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: I'm going through the schedule of twenty one live preseason

372
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: games on NFL Network. August ninth, Texans at Steelers, August seventeenth,

373
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: Bills at Steelers, and August twenty fourth, Steelers at Lines.

374
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 2: What do you know? You're going to see every.

375
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: Single snap the Russell Wilson Justin Field's take in the

376
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: preseason right here on this channel. You're also about to

377
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: see this. The Steelers hosted their inaugural steel Hers event,

378
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: presented by upmc McGee Women's Hospital as part of their

379
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: Women of Steel platform, which unites women who share passion

380
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: for the Black and Gold. The event includes on field

381
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: drills with players like Calvin Austin, a Q and A

382
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: with Troy and Theodora Paulamalou, locker room tours, and a

383
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: whole lot more. Looks like a ton of fun there

384
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: inside the Steelers stadium coming up after this, So much

385
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: more to go on this episode of The Insiders.

386
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the Packers.

387
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: Jordan Love, one of the hottest quarterbacks in all the

388
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: football down the stretch that last season. Can he build

389
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 1: on it in his second full year as the starter?

390
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: Are Staceydale's Bucky Brooks help us break it down? Right

391
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: after this on The Insiders, how about some dance moves

392
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: from the quad father himself. That's aj Dillon out there

393
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: at the mandatory medi camp today.

394
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 2: He's got a couple of new.

395
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: Running mates, Josh Jacobs and third round pick Marshawn Lloyd.

396
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: A very interesting young team in Green Bay that finished

397
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: last season very much on the rise. I still got

398
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: the same running mates that I do so often right

399
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: here on this show. Tom Pilisaro back with Bucky Brooks,

400
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: So welcome in our friend Stacy Dale's as well. Stacy,

401
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: you talk to a lot of people in Green Bay.

402
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 1: We know the arrow is definitely pointing up on Jordan

403
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: Love at the end of last season. It's going to

404
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: show in the contract that he has said he expects

405
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: to get.

406
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 2: Before training camp.

407
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: From what you're hearing, second full year as the starter

408
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: in this offseason, how's Love?

409
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 2: How's that offense coming along?

410
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 5: Yeah?

411
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 14: I would tell you, guys, I think the word that

412
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 14: I'm taking away from this offseason is maturity With Jordan Love.

413
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 14: You know, this is a very young team and both

414
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 14: sides of the football really and Jordan Love, we forget

415
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 14: he's really entering his fifth year, which is why he'll

416
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 14: get that extension. We think here before training camp, Tom

417
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 14: as you alluded to. But you know, he has been

418
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 14: extremely diligent, based upon what I've learned in Green Bay,

419
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 14: with his preparation heading into his second year as starter,

420
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 14: despite really being the veteran of this offense. I would

421
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 14: also say he's been very intentional in terms of what

422
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 14: he wants to improve upon, honing in on where he

423
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 14: wants to go with the football to this bevy of receivers,

424
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 14: this bevy of young receivers on the outside, and specifically

425
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 14: focusing on his pocket movement, really condensing that pocket movement

426
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 14: in terms of his footwork becoming more efficient. But when

427
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 14: he does make the decision to break pocket, and yes

428
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 14: there's really no pads obviously at this stage, to be

429
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 14: very intentional with how he breaks the pocket, specifically to

430
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 14: the right, and you know recently when we heard him

431
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 14: talk this week, getting his shoulders and his body downhill

432
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 14: and not drifting.

433
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 2: That's why Bucky I use.

434
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 14: The word intentional. And there's Obviously, there's a lot of

435
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 14: talk about who's going to be the number one receiver.

436
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 4: It's been a big point.

437
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 14: Of argumentation, if you will, perhaps amongst those that follow

438
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 14: these Packers, I would say, Bucky, any one of these

439
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 14: guys could be the number one and have an emergent

440
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 14: season with Jordan Love in this offense, I think they

441
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 14: can be extremely explosive in Green Bay.

442
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 4: I'm with you, Stacy.

443
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 5: This offense can be very explosive.

444
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 12: And I got to see it going back to my

445
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 12: time with the Packers in the mid nineties, this has

446
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 12: always been an organization that believe that you don't necessarily

447
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 12: need a number one receiver, that the offense is really

448
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 12: predicated on a level quarterback playing it in the system

449
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 12: that can evlate the playmakers around him. When when I

450
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 12: look at this version of the Packers, Jordan Love certainly

451
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 12: is an a level quarterback. He has weapons around him

452
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 12: that within this system they can't thrive and flourish as

453
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 12: co number ones or interchangeable number ones, however you want

454
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 12: to dub them. But this is all about Jordan Love

455
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 12: his steady improvement as a quarterback since entering the league.

456
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 2: The Packers are ready.

457
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 4: To go to the next level.

458
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 12: And a big reason is because Jordan Love is the

459
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 12: real deal.

460
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 2: And as he grows.

461
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 12: Comfortable and as he begins to kind of put his

462
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 12: own imprint on this offense, I think you go see

463
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 12: the other playmakers around him rise to that level and

464
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 12: he is going to be someone that we celebrate because

465
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 12: the playmakers certainly have the talent to get it done.

466
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 12: And it's one of the things that the Packers have

467
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 12: done for the last thirty years, which is why they

468
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 12: have always been a relevant team when it comes to

469
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 12: being a title contender.

470
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: On the other side of the ball, Stacy Matt Lafleur

471
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 1: had to make maybe the hardest decision he's had to

472
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: make as a head coach, moving on from one of

473
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: his good friends, Joe Barry, the defensive coordinator after the

474
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: end of last season. He brings in a guy in

475
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: Jeff Hafley, who I've gotten to know because he was

476
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: coaching at my alma mater, n Ttill he took this

477
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: decordinator job in Green Bay. He's got a very good mind.

478
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: He's a different type of a presence. What is this

479
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: actually going to look like on the defensive side of

480
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: the ball in Green Bay?

481
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's such a good question, Tom, and you know,

482
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 14: obviously came from Boston College, but he just spent so

483
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 14: many years right in the NFL as primarily a defensive

484
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 14: backs coach. And I think what I've learned about Jeff

485
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 14: Halfley and you guys know this, he has a very

486
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 14: aggressive mentality. Obviously there's a shift to a four to

487
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 14: three base defense, but generally speaking, I mean even Jordan

488
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 14: Love talked about it. You're going to see some semblance

489
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 14: of what the San Francisco forty nine ers, which is

490
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 14: somewhere Jeff Halfley stopped in his coaching career in the

491
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 14: NFL and Seattle Seahawks, And I actually thought it was

492
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 14: very interesting. The veteran Preston Smith and his sort of

493
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 14: media scrum recently talked about Richard. He contacted Richard Sherman,

494
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 14: who spent a season with Halfley in San Francisco I

495
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 14: believe it was twenty eighteen, and had nothing but a

496
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 14: fusive praise for what he brings to the table and

497
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 14: how he puts his players in position to be successful.

498
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 14: Rashan Gary recently saying this is a pin your ears

499
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 14: back type of approach with him. I think you're going

500
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 14: to see a lot more pressure up front, and I

501
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 14: think you're going to see a defensive backgroup and room

502
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 14: that is extremely competitive. It's all about ball and that

503
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 14: aggressive mindset is a shift that I think Brian Gudukunst

504
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 14: is very pleased with. I remember asking him this offseason

505
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 14: what he sensed with the change, not only in scheme

506
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 14: but with the defensive coordinator, and his response was, it's

507
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 14: going to be a big play style difference in terms

508
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 14: of what Halfley brings to the table.

509
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 10: I think that.

510
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 14: Should excite Packers fans in ash Wobanon.

511
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: Stacy Bucky, thank you very much. We will talk to

512
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: you again soon. Packers. Of course, we're that close to

513
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 1: knocking off the forty nine ers, potentially getting them and

514
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: moving on where they want to face. This team they

515
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 1: got all the way to the super Bowl, the Kansas

516
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: City Chiefs.

517
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 2: They had a lot to celebrate.

518
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: They've been doing it this week, but could one of

519
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: their key players soon walk away?

520
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 2: It's not Calas Swift.

521
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: Don't worry, We'll talk about it next on The Insiders.

522
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: The two time defending Super Bowl champs on the field

523
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: for mandatory mini camp this week. Can they make it

524
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: a three peat and if they do, could Travis Kelcey

525
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: potentially walk away one.

526
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 2: Of his best teammates. Chris Jones sure hopes not.

527
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 8: Thomas is up to your escup talking about that he

528
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 8: knew that at the end of his career was coming

529
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 8: sooner rather than later.

530
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 4: I know he's got a few years on. You don't

531
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 4: like that kind of talk to you, But he's retiring

532
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 4: this year.

533
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 16: What do you mean once you begin to think about

534
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 16: the it's like that you're getting a feed demand those

535
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 16: type of doughts. I don't even want my mone to

536
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 16: even go there far to the R word. But Trail,

537
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 16: he's pretty old. I'm just playing Trav I love you,

538
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 16: but no man, Trail, he got like four or five

539
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 16: more years. And what is he ben talking about retirement for.

540
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 16: I mean, you know, we can't let a tkse hold go.

541
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 16: It's like, if we retire, we got to retire together.

542
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 16: Give me like at least six years, then we'll talk

543
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 16: about it.

544
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: I can listen to Chris Jones just talk about anything

545
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: for an hour. Everything that comes out of his mouth

546
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: is pure gold, even if some of it not necessarily

547
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 1: NFL Network appropriate. Welcome back to the Inside of Town.

548
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: Pella Sero joined now by our friend Jeffrey Chadia, who

549
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: is there in Kansas City. Travis Kelcey certainly made some

550
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: news with his comments talking about, hey, he's still leaving

551
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: it all on the field, but he knows the end

552
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: is coming in the not too distant future. Here when

553
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,239
Speaker 1: Kelsey looks at this team, when others look at this

554
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: Chiefs team, they see some new pass catchers.

555
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 2: What's the word on those guys so far?

556
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 4: They do?

557
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 17: They see Marquise Brown, and they see Xavier Worthy of

558
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 17: the first round pick, and Travis Kelcey sees their potential.

559
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 17: He talked about this yesterday when he was talking about

560
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,239
Speaker 17: retirement and how his career is winding down, and he

561
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 17: says that he really loves they have talent, but he

562
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 17: loves the kind of people that they are. They've come

563
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 17: in here, they've listened, they've been coachable. They fit into

564
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 17: the culture immediately. And think Kelsey knows that speed is

565
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 17: going to bode well for him this year. You know,

566
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 17: Andy Reid has talked about possibly managing his usage rate

567
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 17: because he's getting up there, going to be thirty five

568
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 17: years old this coming October.

569
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 4: But Kelsey said he wants that pressure.

570
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 17: But he also wants his offense to take off again,

571
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 17: and he knows having these two guys this speed.

572
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 4: Is going to open up things for him underneath. Once again, they.

573
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: Got weapons and other positions to Isaiah. Piceco sets the

574
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: tone as well as anybody his size that I've ever

575
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: seen in the NFL, and it sounds like he feels

576
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: pretty good about the work.

577
00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 2: He's been able to get in this offseason too.

578
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 17: He is because he's actually had a full offseason actually work.

579
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 17: You know, the last pass last offseason, he was actually

580
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 17: dealing with a shoulder injury, shoulder surgery, so he couldn't

581
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 17: be out there, and he actually talked about how this

582
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 17: year it's a nice thing not to have that gold

583
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 17: jersey on and where people can't touch you and you

584
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 17: feel like you're a quarterback. And Litill not as running

585
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 17: back like as he would like to be. But as

586
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 17: you mentioned, he's down about two hundred and six pounds.

587
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 17: He likes to play around two eight two oh nine.

588
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 17: Wants to be faster since is going to be his

589
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 17: third year in this offense, so he's going to get

590
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 17: a lot more run because he knows pack protection better.

591
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 4: Keep in mind he averaged twenty.

592
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 17: Carries during the postseason, and so as much as this

593
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 17: office is about Mahomes and Kelsey and these speedy receivers,

594
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 17: he's going to once again be a big part of

595
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 17: what they do and the success that they have.

596
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,719
Speaker 1: Jeffrey, thank you very much. Look forward to talking to

597
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: you again soon. Four super Bowl trips for the Chiefs

598
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: and the Patrick Mahomes era, He's won three of them.

599
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: The only guy to get the better of Patrick Mahomes

600
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: happens to be a guest right here on The Insiders

601
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: tomorrow night. That's right, It is a show fit for

602
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 1: a goat. Tom Brady is going to join us on

603
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 1: The Insiders. At this very moment, he's addressing the crowd

604
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: in Foxborough getting inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame.

605
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: I imagine the appearance on The Insiders is going to have

606
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: pretty much the same emotional impact on him, don't you think, Mike.

607
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 5: I mean, the questions we've got for him. I can't wait.

608
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 10: There's Matthew Stafford throwing a past or in the Rams

609
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 10: mandatory mini camp. Sean McVay expecting that Stafford is going

610
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 10: to do that when training camp begins next month. Why

611
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 10: would we even have that discussion, Why would we even

612
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 10: be talking about that possibility?

613
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 5: Ian rappap for it. It's because of money. I mean,

614
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 5: that's often what we talk about when it comes to

615
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 5: the show. How you doing.

616
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 10: Matthew Stafford under contract for three more years at thirty one,

617
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 10: thirty two and thirty one million dollars, so ninety four

618
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 10: million dollars over the next three years.

619
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 5: If my math is correct, it's pretty simple. It better be.

620
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 10: It should be actually scored higher on matth than verbal

621
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 10: and the SAT if you could believe that. But with Stafford,

622
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 10: despite the fact that he's been under contract for three

623
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 10: years and this year guaranteed, he's looking at some.

624
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 5: Of these other numbers.

625
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 10: Are these quarterbacks going around that are almost double this

626
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 10: and pretty soon will be double that?

627
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, And I don't even know that that's the real

628
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 9: important part for Matthew Stafford. I'm sure he wants to

629
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 9: be paid more. Everybody in the world wants to be

630
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 9: paid more. The issue here, from my understanding, is guaranteed money.

631
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 9: And Matthew Stafford has his salary for this year guaranteed

632
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 9: after that, You're right, thirty two million, thirty one million,

633
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 9: but none guaranteed. And look, this is a guy who

634
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 9: did have an elble issue a year ago. I think

635
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 9: a lot of people were wondering, is this the end

636
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 9: for Matthew Stafford?

637
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 8: Are the Rams going to draft a quarterback? There's a

638
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 8: lot of that going on.

639
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 9: Then he went down and had a year where he

640
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 9: really looked like the old Matthew Stafford. Four thousand yards,

641
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 9: twenty four touchdown, really put a really young team on

642
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 9: his back, and it sounds to me like just once

643
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 9: to know that he is going to be back, wants

644
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 9: you to know that his spot on the roster is secure

645
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 9: and that he is appreciated. Good thing for him, that

646
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 9: it's good for the team. I should say that he's

647
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 9: not going to sit out of training camp, He's not

648
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 9: going to hold up.

649
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 8: All of those things.

650
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 9: But there is still a contractual issue that does need

651
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 9: to be solved for a guy who has beens want

652
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 9: to shoot bowl with the Rams and who's been unbelievably

653
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 9: important to the resurgence.

654
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, this seems like it's fixable.

655
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 10: He's thirty six years old, which used to be old

656
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 10: for a quarterback, but not so much. You heard Tom

657
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 10: talk about Tom Brady playing.

658
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 5: Well into his forties. Not to say that Matthew Stafford

659
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 5: is going to.

660
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 10: Do that, but it's reasonable to believe he's got three,

661
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 10: four or five potentially good years left in his body.

662
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 10: Had that elbow issue, but was able to work his

663
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 10: way through that. I thought that that was going to

664
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 10: be the point at which he started the tail off,

665
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 10: but he and the team and the trainers and the

666
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 10: medical staff and.

667
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 5: Everybody that he works with was able to work.

668
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 10: Through that issue and show again that he's got some

669
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 10: good football left in his arm. So again this feels fixable.

670
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 10: Nice little bump. Some guaranteed money, you know, the Ian

671
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 10: Rappaport tree, they give you that yet, I don't know.

672
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 10: We'll see working on that as well. We expect you

673
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 10: for the start of training camp, buddy. We also expect

674
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 10: Marvin Harrison Junior for the Cardinals start. I'm gonna start,

675
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 10: excuse me, of the Cardinals training camp, and he's been

676
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 10: putting on a show. It sounds like in the spring already.

677
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 10: We're going to talk to the general manager who drafted it.

678
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 10: Monty Austin Fort joins the insiders.

679
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: After that, Cardinals Mini camp rolling on on a day that,

680
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: according to the various weather apps high temperature around one

681
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: hundred and eleven degrees out there. They practice in the morning,

682
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: so it's not that bad, but certainly sweating it out

683
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,719
Speaker 1: before they head on to their summer break. Welcome back

684
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: to the Insiders, Tom pilisero Ian Roudport, joined right now

685
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: by the general manager of that football team. It is

686
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: Monty Ostinport.

687
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 2: Monty.

688
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: First of all, thank you very much for being here today.

689
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: We saw a little bit of Marvin Harrison Junior in

690
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: that clip. We just you did all the homework, you

691
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: watched all the tape, you did all the interviews. When

692
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: you actually see him out on the field in the

693
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: Cardinals uniform right now, what's your reaction.

694
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 7: Thanks guys, thanks for having me on. You know, it's exciting.

695
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 7: It's exciting to get Marvin out there, as it is

696
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 7: for all of our rookies to get out there. You know,

697
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 7: it's been a good month here, month and a half

698
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 7: since we last had the draft, and it's been good

699
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 7: to get these guys in our building, get them accustomed

700
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 7: to what we do here, get them to meet their

701
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 7: new teammates, and we got a lot of good work

702
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 7: in here the last six weeks. So you know, we

703
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 7: got to talk a positive step this spring, and you know,

704
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 7: we're looking forward to taking a little bit of a

705
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 7: break and then getting back here rolling for training camp.

706
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 7: But it's been an exciting time for our rookies here

707
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 7: getting on the field with us for the first time.

708
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 9: You know, Monty, one of the coolest things is you

709
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 9: guys spend all this time on research. You have all

710
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 9: the interviews, do all the visits, all the tape and

711
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 9: all that, and then guys actually get into your facility

712
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 9: and sometimes you find out things that maybe you didn't know.

713
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 8: And you talked about Marvin very nicely.

714
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 9: There's a big draft class obviously, another first runner, and

715
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 9: Darius Robinson as well. What have you seen of some

716
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 9: of the other guys not named Marvin Harrison Junior? And

717
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 9: then had there been any surprises, maybe pleasant surprises with

718
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 9: some of these rookies you brought in.

719
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I think I think with anything we put,

720
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 7: we put a lot of time. Like you said, we

721
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 7: put a lot of time in the interviews and our

722
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 7: scouts on watching tape, and so you know, you really

723
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 7: we try to get as much information as we possibly can.

724
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 7: But until we actually get people in our building and

725
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 7: work with them on a day to day basis that

726
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,719
Speaker 7: you know, we really don't don't know the person. You know,

727
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 7: we we think we do, but until we get them

728
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 7: here and and work with them, like, we don't truly know.

729
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 7: So it's been great to get them here in the building.

730
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 7: You know, it's it's it's fun. You you spend a

731
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 7: lot of time with these guys and the and they're

732
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 7: in interview mode, but you actually get to know guys

733
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 7: can be themselves, let their guard down a little bit.

734
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 7: You get to know a sense of humor, and so,

735
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 7: you know, all of our guys just finding their role,

736
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 7: finding their niche on the team and getting getting a

737
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 7: custom and learning their new teammates. That's that's been a

738
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 7: cool process and that's that really has begun here these

739
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 7: last six weeks and then are really going full force

740
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 7: once we get into training Camp Monty.

741
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 9: Last year, at this time, there were some questions, I

742
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 9: think publicly not as much in your building, but certainly

743
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 9: publicly about Kyler Murray, the future of Kyler, How much

744
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 9: would he play, would he even play at all? That

745
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 9: was actually something that was certainly publicly, not saying in

746
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 9: your building, but publicly being discussed. Then he goes out

747
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 9: and certainly shows flashes of being the Kyler that we

748
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 9: have all seen for the past several years. Now that

749
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 9: he is back with the whole offseason, he's going to

750
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 9: have the whole training camp. What else is there out

751
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 9: there for Kyler and how much will that benefit him

752
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 9: just having being able to be available.

753
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 7: For the entire process. Yeah, I and I think that's huge.

754
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 7: I think it's absolutely huge. I mean, I think you

755
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 7: know one thing that's that's overlooked is, yeah, Kyler had

756
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 7: a lot on his plate last year in terms of

757
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 7: rehabing and and getting his knee ready, and then you know,

758
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 7: also learning a new offense, learning new coaches, learning new teammates,

759
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 7: and so you know what's lost is that last year

760
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 7: when a lot of that team building was taking place,

761
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 7: and the reps were being put in in the spring

762
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 7: and the rest were being put in in training camp, well,

763
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 7: the time when the team has the time to not

764
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 7: focus on an opponent and just focus on our own

765
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 7: selves internally, Kyler had a lot of other things to

766
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 7: concentrate on, namely with his rehab and his health, and

767
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 7: so for him to be able to be with the

768
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 7: team this entire offseason, to be able to grow in

769
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 7: the offense, to be able to grow in his leadership role,

770
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,479
Speaker 7: to be able to get to know his teammates, both

771
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 7: old and new. That's been huge. It's been huge for

772
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 7: the team. It's been huge for Kyler. It's been a

773
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 7: role that he's embraced and taken it and ran with

774
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 7: and so we're excited about him continuing to do that

775
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 7: here as we move forward, and that'll really keep going

776
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 7: once we get into training camp. But you know, I

777
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 7: think that's an important part for any teammate, especially at

778
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 7: the quarterback position, and it's one that we think Kyler

779
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 7: can has really race and one that he's going to

780
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 7: continue to grow with.

781
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: And I know you've had your hands kind of full

782
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: with football stuff, you know, through the majority of the

783
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: past several months here, but I do also want to

784
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: ask you about the Civics Matter Arizona program, the Cardinals

785
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: partnering up with the governor, among others, sending a bunch

786
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: of students to Washington, DC.

787
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 5: It sounds like a cool program. Tell me about it.

788
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 7: Yeah, Tom, it's it's a really cool program. You know,

789
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 7: this is the third year that our owner, Michael Bidwell

790
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 7: has done this, and you know, this year they have.

791
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 7: I think it's upwards of two hundred and seventy five

792
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 7: kids that are that are leaving, that left Arizona here

793
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 7: the other day, and and get on the team plane,

794
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:36,800
Speaker 7: the same plane that we used to go to play

795
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 7: all of our road games. And for some of these kids,

796
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 7: it's the first time they've ever been on an airplane.

797
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 7: And then to go to you know, one of the

798
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 7: greatest cities in our country, Washington, d C. And to

799
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,919
Speaker 7: see all kinds of sites that have experiences to uh,

800
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 7: to sit down at the Senate and meet some of

801
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 7: the leaders at Arizona. I mean, it is a It

802
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 7: is a cool program that Michael has put together. It

803
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 7: is a great experience for these kids. And you know,

804
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 7: I'm anxious for my daughters to get old enough to

805
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 7: take part in this. But it is a really really

806
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 7: cool program that Michael has done and really an experience

807
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 7: that that these students will will not soon forget. So

808
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 7: it's awesome that the Cardinals have been able to sponsor

809
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 7: this and to continue to continue this and just a

810
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 7: really great experience for those students.

811
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 8: Hang on, was Michael flying the plane or did they

812
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 8: get the experience.

813
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 7: That Michael actually was not flying this this specific plane.

814
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 7: I'm sure he could, and he'd be a great He's

815
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 7: a great guy to have on board in case anything

816
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 7: went went down, because I know he'd be able to

817
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 7: handle it. But this specific route, he was not behind

818
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 7: the controls of this this.

819
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: Flight, Bonnie, thanks a lot, Man. Make sure you get

833
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: you think. We'll break it down right after this on

843
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: his career down there with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was

844
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: succeeded by Baker Mayfield, who I'm sure was on the

845
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 1: throwing end of that catch by Mike Evans right there.

846

848
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 1: Day weekend ahead for Baker.

849
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 4: Speaking, good time off. You get to celebrate your first

850
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 4: Father's Day. It's the weekend any planned, I don't think so.

851
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 4: Maybe you're around a golf probably just watching golf on TV.

852
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that sounds basically like the in Rappaport plan I

853
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: believe as well. So that is that a pretty close match.

854
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 1: You already got the shirt on.

855
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 9: I mean US Open is this week and it just

856
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 9: happens to be on Father's Day weekend. Like there'll be

857
