Speaker 2: We got a fun hour ahead of football.

Speaker 1: Brian Ballier is going to join the show, help us

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 1: break down the quarterback battles in New England.

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: It was a really interesting one in Denver. Well. It's

7
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 2: got so many big.

8
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: Stars, your fantasy stars with new uniforms, guys like Saquon

9
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: Barkley and Calvin Ridley. Should those guys be on your

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: fantasy team or should you stay away? Michael le f

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: Florio has the best insight in the business. He will

12
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: join this show as well. You got sixty nine days

13
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: left to get your fantasy draft done, because seventy days

14
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: for right now, we shall have football, a matchup of MVPs,

15
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens,

16
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: a rematch of last year's AFC Championship game, and a

17
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: game that based upon the stage, it's the first one

18
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 1: of the out of the The gate is going to impact

19
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: a lot about how we're talking about the rest of

20
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four NFL season. For a lot more

21
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 1: on that game and other stuff, I'm sure too. Let's

22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: welcome in our Brian Baldinger, as well as Omar Ruiz

23
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: and Bridget Condon.

24
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 2: Bridget, I'm going to start off.

25
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: With you here because, of course we talk a lot

26
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: about the MVP Lamar Jackson, some of these shortfalls that

27
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: he and the Ravens have had during his time there

28
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: as the quarterback. This will be the first time that

29
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: he's got a certain guy lining up with him in

30
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: the backfield. What type of impact in your mind is

31
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: Derick Henry going to make, not just in Week one,

32
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: but throughout this twenty twenty four NFL.

33
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,559
Speaker 3: Season, Tom Dereck Henry is going to make a big

34
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 3: impact on this Ravens offense. Now, the Ravens have both

35
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 3: the rushing leader in terms of quarterback and running back

36
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 3: on their team, and Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, and

37
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,919
Speaker 3: those two don't just have success in the regular season,

38
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 3: it's the playoffs too. In NFL history, those two ranked

39
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 3: top six when it comes to amount of rushing yards

40
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 3: per game in the playoffs. So how can this help you?

41
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 3: Talk back about that AFC title game Chiefs Ravens, which

42
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 3: is also that Week one matchup to open the season.

43
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 3: The Ravens lost that game. Of course, we all know

44
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 3: that they had just eighty one yards on the ground.

45
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 3: Harbaugh was asked about the lack of the ground game

46
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: after he said, that's just what the Chiefs defense was

47
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 3: giving us. So how can Derrick Henry impact that well?

48
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 3: His best asset against the Dynamics Chief's defense is his

49
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 3: ability to play keep away and grind out possessions. In

50
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 3: Henry's six games against the Chiefs, He's averaged one hundred

51
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 3: and thirteen yards on the ground. That's more than thirty

52
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 3: yards than what we saw in the AFC title game

53
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 3: from the Ravens and Mahomes. Chiefs.

54
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 2: Get this.

55
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 3: This is a good one from our research team, which

56
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 3: is the best of the best. They average approximately one

57
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 3: touchdown less when facing Derrick Henry.

58
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 4: Rigie.

59
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 5: The thing that's interesting about this dynamic duo that you

60
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 5: speak of Lamar and Derek Henry is Dereck Henry. Yes,

61
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 5: he's played with Marcus Mariota and with Ryan Tannehill, but

62
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 5: nobody is Lamar. When Lamar puts the ball in your

63
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 5: bell and there's a mesh point there for every defense

64
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 5: to try to defend, who does it, Who's carrying the ball,

65
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 5: you don't.

66
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 4: Know till the final second your eyes have to be right.

67
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 5: And now both these guys that you speak of and

68
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 5: all the stats that are out there, I mean, Dereck

69
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 5: Henry is going to flourish. Lamar Jackson is going to flourish.

70
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 5: The run game is going to flourish because you're really

71
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 5: not going to know what's happening. Then when Todd Munkin

72
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 5: mixed it in, all the misdirections and all the counters

73
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 5: and all of the disguises, this is going to be

74
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 5: a very difficult offense to defend. And so I'm with you,

75
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 5: Bridget this just should be a lot of fun. I

76
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 5: think he's the perfect fit. I think Dereck Henry knows

77
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 5: he's the perfect fitness offense, and you know, maybe this

78
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 5: is the fit that gets them over the hump that

79
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 5: they couldn't do last year.

80
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: Faulty. Let me ask the one follow up here because

81
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: I'm curious.

82
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: From a schematic perspective, we've seen Derek Henry do a

83
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: lot of his damage through the years. Where it's the

84
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: quarterback under center, he's got a head of steam from Hawever,

85
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: many yards deep in the backfield with Lamar, there's a

86
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: significant amount of shotgun and pistol is Mark going to

87
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: be under center more? And if not, how do you

88
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: anticipate Derrick Henry is going to be able to run

89
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: out of the gun.

90
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 5: I think he'll be fine. He'll be a point of

91
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 5: entry back. But you and we might see Lamar more

92
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 5: under center, you know, and let Derek Henry line up

93
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 5: eight yards and get that locomotive head of steam up.

94
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 4: We might see a little bit more of that than

95
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 4: what we have seen. But I think Derek Henry is

96
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 4: just going.

97
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 5: To enjoy getting some real runways here behind an offensive

98
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 5: line that should come together pretty quickly with what they

99
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 5: have right now. And then just the ultimate decoy and

100
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 5: what Lamar brings to a defense where they really don't

101
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 5: know if he's going to get the ball or not.

102
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: Omar, I want to bring you into the conversation here

103
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: on the other side of this matchup with the Chiefs

104
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: facing the Ravens in week one. I'm struck by this

105
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: because we were talking as late as Christmas basically about

106
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: a Chiefs team that didn't look the same as they

107
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: have in years past. They lose that home game on

108
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: the holiday to the Raiders. They folded nine and six.

109
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: They turn it around, they win the last they go

110
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: on the run, they go on the road in the playoffs,

111
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: and they win the whole thing. But how are the

112
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: Chiefs using the way that last season played out, because

113
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 1: it was not pretty for a good chunk of it,

114
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: especially on the offensive side, as they now turn their

115
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: attention to going for that three peat.

116
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 6: It's interesting you bring that game up, Tom, because I

117
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 6: was speaking with Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Naggi earlier today

118
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 6: and he pointed to that game on Christmas against the Raiders,

119
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 6: and he says, if they don't lose that game, he's

120
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 6: not so sure that they win the Super Bowl. He

121
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 6: said that was a wake up call for that game

122
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 6: and the lesson that was learned there that they applied

123
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 6: to the playoffs that they feel they can apply to

124
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 6: the twenty four season as the intensity ratches it up

125
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 6: and the attention is brought to them on.

126
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: Their pursuit for a historic three peat.

127
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 6: Is that they're allowed to play complimentary football. They admitted

128
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 6: to themselves, Okay, maybe we're not the forty points per

129
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 6: game Kansas City Chiefs of the past, but they could

130
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 6: still play not conservatively. They can still play aggressively, but

131
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 6: they could settle for field goals and be okay with that,

132
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,679
Speaker 6: knowing special teams can bail them out, knowing that Steve

133
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 6: Spagnolo's defense can make a couple stops and stay in

134
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 6: the game for Patrick Mahomes to be the ultimate difference

135
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 6: maker at the end. That was the formula you saw

136
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 6: in the playoffs, and that was the formula that they'll

137
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 6: head into twenty four when times get tough, knowing they

138
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 6: can do that. Obviously, this is the third year in

139
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 6: a row that Patrick Mahomes is ingratiating new weapons. This year,

140
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 6: Xavier Worthy and Hollywood Brown and Neggy was tolding me

141
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 6: that Mahomes has become better and better at onboarding those players,

142
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 6: with the way he explains the nuances of their route running,

143
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 6: the intricacies of the timing. He said, it's been pressive

144
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 6: to watch Patrick Mahomes become a coach on the practice field,

145
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 6: in the meeting rooms, and of course in games. And

146
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,119
Speaker 6: he said, Patrick Mahomes has become so good at this point,

147
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 6: so confident and comfortable with his abilities that even if

148
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 6: a player comes in and runs a route maybe differently

149
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 6: than what the Kansas City Chiefs normally ask of that route,

150
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 6: Mahomes can say hey, and this is part of welcoming

151
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 6: these new players of the team. I got you, I

152
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 6: can adjust to your route. We'll make that a part

153
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 6: of the offense. And that's part of the story as

154
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 6: the Chiefs welcome these new weapons into the team and

155
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 6: learn from that adversity they faced last year.

156
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 5: Baldi, you know, Omar, the marquis for this game is

157
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 5: that we all saw is Lamar and Patrick Mahomes.

158
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 4: I mean three MVPs between the two of them, and

159
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 4: rightfully so.

160
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 5: But this also is the number one and number two

161
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 5: ranked defenses in the entire NFL. And when the street

162
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 5: the Chiefs horse struggling, like Matt Nagy explained, the defense

163
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 5: carried him. And I'm just it's amazing to me because

164
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 5: I always think it's more difficult to replace great coaches

165
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 5: than it is great players. And the fact that the

166
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 5: Chiefs haven't lost a coach and back to back winning

167
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 5: Super Bowl titles, the fact that Steve Spectola is still

168
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 5: there and not a head coach on place, taking his

169
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 5: mastermind of what he does defensively, the fact that he's

170
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 5: still in that roster calling defenses, Like I think this

171
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 5: Chiefs defense might actually even be better this coming season

172
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 5: than last year because of the depth that they have.

173
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 5: And I know losing l J. Steed and Willie gave

174
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 5: a big losses. But they've got great depth there and

175
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 5: they've got his mind. They've got one of the great

176
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 5: pressure minds in the NFL to really knock another or

177
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 5: the opposing offense soft stride.

178
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 4: It's a credit.

179
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 5: And somehow the whole staff is there, especially the whole

180
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 5: defensive staff. You know, the Ravens lose the AFC Championship game,

181
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 5: they lose Mike McDonald, they lose two other defensive coaches.

182
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 5: The chief didn't lose anybody there. Continuity, it's all there

183
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 5: right now. To go back in tryport.

184
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: Three p Mike McDonald's replacement, Zach Or, the former NFL

185
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: linebacker who just turned thirty two years old earlier this month,

186
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: first time play caller on the defensive side for a

187
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: Ravens team with Super Bowl aspirations. Keep an eye on

188
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: that one as this thing moves forward. Okay, guys, don't move.

189
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: I want to turn tier to the Arizona Cardinals next,

190
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: because they've got some new parts as well, some new faces,

191
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: namely that guy who Cardinals fans hope you'll be seeing

192
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: a lot of Marvin Harrison Junior, the number four overall

193
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: draft pick, one of the most deductive players in all

194
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: of college football over the past couple of years. Cardinals

195
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Drew Petsing, in a very rare late June

196
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: press session, talked with reporters about Marvin Harrison.

197
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 7: Today, how he's going to define that role. I think

198
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 7: that's going to continue through training camp. I certainly don't

199
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 7: and really for these guys, and we try to tell

200
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 7: that at every position, that's never done. You're always defining

201
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 7: and redefining your role in this league. You want a

202
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 7: bigger role, Earnie, you want lesser role. You're going to

203
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 7: show us, you know, and not that they want to

204
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 7: do that, but I think that's an important part of

205
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 7: being a good team is keeping that competition and keeping

206
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 7: that reality that no role.

207
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 4: Is setting stone.

208
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: Drew Betson is a fun guy to listen to because

209
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: he is going to shoot you straight. He's going to

210
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 1: be blunt, He's going to give you a lot of details.

211
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: Here a name to keep an eye on as a

212
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: head coaching candidate next year. Omar If this Cardinals offense

213
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: could do what a lot of people believe they can.

214
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: We had Trey mc bride on the other day and

215
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: he backed up with Judy Batista wrote that is yeah,

216
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: Kyler or the guy.

217
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 2: They see right now, this can be an MVP candidate.

218
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: Where does this offense go with that healthy Kyler in

219
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: year two and Drew Petsing system plus that Marvin Errison

220
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: junior guy.

221
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 6: Let's start with that relationship between Drew Petsing and Kyler

222
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 6: Murray obviously go a long way for the resurgent career

223
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 6: of Kyler Murray, and we'll see where Drew Petsing's career goes.

224
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 6: And if you remember a couple weeks ago, Tom Kyler

225
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 6: Murray said that Drew Petsing is a genius. So I

226
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 6: asked Petsing about that today and he said, it goes

227
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 6: both ways. The way Kyler understands the game, the way

228
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 6: Kyler can see the field certainly a tribute to Murray's work,

229
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 6: ethic and the way he has evolved as a quarterback.

230
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 6: And he said he wants that relationship to be to

231
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 6: the point where Murray is anticipating the play that Petsing

232
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 6: is going to call, or at least understand why he's

233
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 6: calling each and every play.

234
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 2: And he said that relationship has.

235
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 6: Been fun to form over the last year and a half,

236
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 6: and it's gotten to the point where even in games,

237
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 6: when Petsing sees that Murray maybe didn't get to a

238
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 6: proper checkdown, he'll say, what were you thinking? And then

239
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 6: vice versa, when Petsing makes a bad call, Murray will

240
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 6: call him out and Petsing will say, hey, that's just

241
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 6: the first thing that came out of my mouth as

242
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 6: a play clock was winding down. As far these highlights,

243
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 6: Marvin Harrison Junior and the way he's going to fit

244
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 6: into the offense, so many different weapons. Now for the Cardinals,

245
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 6: we talked about Trey McBride and everybody anticipating him having

246
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 6: a breakout year. James Connor is coming off a career year.

247
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 6: We heard Michael Wilson say he's taking calls from Kyler

248
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 6: Murray in the middle of the night, talking about practicing

249
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 6: on the weekends. All those mouths to feed, and Petsing said,

250
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 6: it's not going to be an issue. He says it

251
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 6: points to the culture that Jonathan Gannon has built there

252
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 6: the last year and a half, the type of players

253
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 6: that Monty austen Ford has come into and Tom of course,

254
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 6: if that becomes an issue, how many mouths they have

255
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 6: to feel? That's a good problem to have for the

256
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 6: Arizona Cardinals offense.

257
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: And they will get a test right out of the

258
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: gate Cardinals at Bills in Week one. Omar, don't move.

259
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: You're gonna be back with the shortly. So are Bridget

260
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: and Baldy as well. The Dolphins come out of the

261
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: gate against the Jaguars that opener in Miami. Should you

262
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: have that guy on your.

263
00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 2: Face, Jim?

264
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 1: Should you have that guy? A lot of backs, a

265
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: lot of mouse to feed, as Omar put it in

266
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: that Dolphins backfield, which one should be on your fantasy team?

267
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: Mike lef Florio joined us to break down that and

268
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: a lot more. Next on The Insiders.

269
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 3: Welcome back to the Insiders. I am Bridgick Condon, Tom

270
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 3: tel Sero having a little trouble with his camera, but

271
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 3: he'll be back shortly. Don't you worry. For now we

272
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 3: have Michael f Florio. Michael, I want to talk to

273
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 3: you about some of these fantasy players, especially coming into

274
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 3: this season. Who are some guys that have been drafted

275
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 3: maybe too low in the past.

276
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, and right now we're using best ball ADP, which

277
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 8: is where you draft, don't set your lineup. Your highest

278
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 8: scores get in, so that factors into things. But regardless,

279
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 8: Isaiah Picheco is being drafted too low right now.

280
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 9: He averaged over.

281
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 8: Nineteen Fantasy points per game in games where he played

282
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 8: at least sixty percent of the snaps last year. His

283
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 8: target rate more than doubled what it was the year prior,

284
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 8: and he got more and more involved in the passing

285
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 8: game as the season went on. And as of right now,

286
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 8: McKinnon still isn't there. He was relied upon heavily down

287
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 8: the stretch. He is my running back eight right now.

288
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 8: My only concern is sometime the Chiefs don't like to

289
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 8: give their back backs the full workload early on. I

290
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 8: also think Deontay Johnson is going too low. He is

291
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 8: still one of the best separators in the NFL. Last

292
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 8: year he had the third highest rate of uncatchable targets.

293
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 9: That's on the quarterback, not on him.

294
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 8: But I expect Bryce Young to take a next step

295
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 8: under Dave Canalis, who kind of let the Gino and

296
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 8: Baker resurgent years.

297
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 9: And the Panthers are still gonna have to throw a bunch.

298
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 9: Remember Adam Fielin had a stretch as a wide receiver. One.

299
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 8: I think Deontay will put up good numbers all year,

300
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 8: and then Chris Godwins singing in that division.

301
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 9: He's coming off of a down year, but I think

302
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 9: he'll bounce back. Third highest rate of uncatchable targets on

303
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 9: downfield throws. Last year he was playing out wide. Now

304
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 9: we're gonna hear him. We're seeing going to see him

305
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 9: more in slot this year.

306
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 8: And he had just six fewer targets than Mike Evans

307
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 8: last season. And he's going forty picks later.

308
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 9: So sign me up for Chris Godwin.

309
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 3: All right, and Michael. Yesterday, we talked to Austin Eckler

310
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 3: on the show, and one of the things he wants

311
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 3: for this year is to be that fantasy player that

312
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 3: we all remember he was a couple of years past.

313
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 3: Is he one of those guys drafted too high? Who

314
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 3: are these players that you think are maybe going too high?

315
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 9: No, he's not.

316
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 8: I've been a supporter of Austin Eckler in fantasy since.

317
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 9: Before it was cool. I'm not jumping off for it now.

318
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 9: But DeVante Adams, I do think might be going just

319
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 9: a little too high. He started last.

320
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 8: Season, his metrics declined a bit, and at thirty two

321
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 8: years old coming into this season, I think that is

322
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 8: something to be concerned about. And the quarterback play is

323
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 8: still going to be an issue on a team that

324
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 8: will rely on the ground game and their defense. So

325
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 8: maybe he could repeat what he did last year and

326
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 8: be a low end Rode receiver one, but that's where

327
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 8: you're drafting him at right now, and you're not getting

328
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 8: any discount for the risk, so.

329
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 9: I will let other people take him. Devon is a

330
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 9: player who I love his talent.

331
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 8: He was off the charts efficient last year and we

332
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 8: know how much upside he brings. But he's the seventh

333
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 8: running back being drafted right now, so you were paying

334
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 8: for the entire ceiling without taking much of the risk

335
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 8: into account. Where heem Moster is still there, got a

336
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 8: new deal, I don't think he fully goes away only

337
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 8: two games last year with over fifteen carries per eight

338
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 8: chan I even ranked at RB thirteen, So seven is

339
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 8: just a little too rich for my blood. And then

340
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 8: Jordan Addison averaged just ten point five points per game

341
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 8: without Kirk Cousins last year, and regardless of who starts

342
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 8: I think it is a downgrade at quarterback from Kirk Cousins.

343
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 8: He had just a fifteen percent target share when Justin

344
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 8: Jefferson was out there, and thirteen of his seventeen games

345
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 8: he failed to reach seventy yards. He was elevated by

346
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 8: ten receiving touchdowns, but you cannot rely on that. So

347
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 8: I'll let someone else take him, and I'll go get

348
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 8: someone a little bit more upside.

349
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 3: How many days till we're drafted, Michael.

350
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 9: I've been drafting since March.

351
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 3: Okay, get ready training camp less than a month away.

352
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 3: Everybody really tuned into who the best fantasy players will

353
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 3: be this season. Thank you so much, as always for

354
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 3: the great inside. Coming up after the break, do we

355
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 3: have a quarterback competition? Which teams have the biggest quarterback competition?

356
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 3: We're going to talk about bo Nix. We're also going

357
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 3: to talk about Patriots. Drake may stay with us here

358
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 3: on the Insider.

359
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: Six quarterbacks picked in the first twelve selections of the

360
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: NFL draft back in eight for all those six first

361
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: round selections, tying for the most in the common draft era.

362
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: But which one of those quarterbacks is going to be

363
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: fighting for a starting job.

364
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 2: As we get into training camps.

365
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: Manchers on that we bring back our omaruiz Bridge at

366
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: Condon as well as Brian Baldinger. Guys, there's a situation

367
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: in right now New England where Drake May. The Patriots

368
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: made it binally clear they're not going to put him

369
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: on the field before he's ready. They brought in Jacoby

370
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: Brissette Bridget to be that veteran presence. What is it

371
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 1: going to take for Drake May to potentially get on

372
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: the field and does he have that opportunity.

373
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 3: There's definitely that opportunity. But Tom, when you look at this,

374
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 3: there's no reason for the Patriots to rush Drake May.

375
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 9: Right.

376
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 3: Alex van Pelt, now the offensive coordinator for the Patriots,

377
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 3: he was with Jacoby Brissett back in twenty twenty two

378
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,479
Speaker 3: when Brissett was the starting quarterback for the Browns and

379
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 3: that season he had his best completion percentage and best

380
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 3: passer rating of any season in his career. So, look,

381
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 3: you have a guy in Jacoby Brissett that can help

382
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 3: this team. There is no need to rush Drake May.

383
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 3: And talking with people around the Patriots organization, they kind

384
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 3: of feel the same that there's nothing that Drake May

385
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 3: has shown so far during camp that says we absolutely

386
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 3: have to have this guy out week one. Why put

387
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 3: the pressure on him, let him develop, let him sit

388
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 3: and learn behind Jacoby Brissett. That is a very capable quarterback.

389
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 3: And if you look at teams who maybe rush to quarterback,

390
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 3: you can think about Jared Goff in the Rams, who

391
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 3: maybe he started a little too early, he hit a

392
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 3: really tough season. Also, Mitch Trubisky with the Bears his

393
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 3: first season or another UNC quarterback was tough in Chicago.

394
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 3: Then look out a guy like Patrick Mahomes. Right, not

395
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 3: comparing the two, but just remember Patrick Mahomes in his

396
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 3: first season sat behind Alex Smith and then he had

397
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 3: the opportunity to learn and grow and absolutely flourish in

398
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 3: his second season. And now he's a quarterback that is

399
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 3: at the top of the top of the NFL. Why

400
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 3: not just let Drake May sit back, wait a little bit,

401
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 3: get comfortable before you know, enduring all that pressure as

402
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 3: a week one starter.

403
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 5: One of the reasons bridget that rookie quarterbacks do struggle

404
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 5: that get thrown in the right way is the team

405
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 5: around him is very good. Yeah, and the Patriots around

406
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 5: the quarterback position is very good. You mentioned Alex Van

407
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 5: Pelt and Jacoby Brissett. In twenty twenty two in Cleveland,

408
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 5: the Browns had one of the best offensive lines in

409
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 5: all football. You could always hand the ball off to

410
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 5: Nick Chubb in twenty twenty two. The Patriots aren't built that.

411
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 5: They're not there yet. I don't know who they're left

412
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 5: tackles yet. I don't know if the Patriots know who

413
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 5: their left tackle is protect the blindside the quarterback. And

414
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 5: I'm not saying put Jacobe Burssette out there just to

415
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,719
Speaker 5: get beat up and hit, but at least he understands

416
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 5: the need and how important is get the ball out

417
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 5: of his hands and not hold it and not take

418
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 5: those hits. And so I think Drake is in a

419
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 5: position right here where if he sits, and the more

420
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 5: he sits, I think the more he's going to benefit

421
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 5: long term.

422
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 4: Omar.

423
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: One of the worst kept secrets in the pre draft

424
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: process was that bone Knicks was in the mix the

425
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: potentially be the Broncos quarterback. Not a lot of people

426
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: necessarily believed it was going to happen at number twelve.

427
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: Once those other five quarterbacks went, Denver did not waste

428
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: any time tell me about the development of Bone Knicks

429
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: under a guy in Champayton who does have a good

430
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: track record of developing quarterbacks. In an interesting room right

431
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: now too, obviously with Zach Wilson the newest member of

432
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: that mix, Yeah.

433
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 6: Jared Sidham also in the mix, and Sean Payton not

434
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 6: tipping his hand as far as how they'll divvy up

435
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 6: reps when training camp begin or where the pecking order

436
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 6: is right now for that quarterback competition.

437
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 4: But as far Bo.

438
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 6: Nicks, you said, it no secret that seemingly he was

439
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 6: the perfect fit for Sean Payton's offense, and early returns

440
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 6: on Knick's development has been overwhelmingly positive. And everything we

441
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 6: talked about from his days at the University of Oregon

442
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 6: and the record sixty one college starts that he had

443
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 6: between the Oregon Ducks and the Auburn Tigers, as well

444
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 6: as the five or so different systems that he played

445
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 6: with in college, have certainly lessened his learning clerve. Obviously,

446
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 6: Sean Payton's offense has sophisticated as it gets in the NFL,

447
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 6: but his experience in those different systems Nicks had in college,

448
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 6: he's seen a little bit of everything that the Sean

449
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 6: Payton offense has to offer, but obviously called different things,

450
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 6: and he's still a rookie, still has to learn and

451
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 6: lessen with so many different things going on around him as.

452
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 2: A rookie quarterback.

453
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 6: But the way he's ingratiated himself into the locker room,

454
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 6: the way he's ingratiated himself into that quarterback room, the

455
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 6: way Joe Lombardi says that Nicks rarely makes the same

456
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 6: mistake twice, and you could feel that experience on the field.

457
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 6: Nothing seems to be too big for bo Nick's eve,

458
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 6: but nothing but please Baldy with so far his early

459
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 6: development there.

460
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 5: I've heard the same things, Omar, and that's good to hear.

461
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 5: I mean, I do think sixty one starts matters, and

462
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 5: experience matters, and playing in different systems and on different

463
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 5: teams and in different leagues, all that stuff kind of

464
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 5: builds that MAXI that you need inside you to run

465
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 5: a Sean Payton offense. I don't think Sean's giving him

466
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 5: the job. I think there's a competition. I think Sean

467
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 5: understands that he's got to show his team because you

468
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 5: now the leader of the team, whoever the quarterback is

469
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 5: that he has earned that right to be the starter.

470
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 5: It hasn't been given to him, and so I think

471
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 5: that's good. I think the offense line has some questions.

472
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 5: The center position I think is more up for grabs,

473
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 5: and I think the quarterback position is I'm anxious to

474
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 5: see who wins that. I think the running back competition

475
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 5: is going to be a really good battle, and so

476
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 5: while we're going to focus on the quarterback, and probably

477
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 5: rightfully so, I think there's some other really interesting battles

478
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 5: in Denver that might help whatever quarterback wins that battle

479
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 5: have some success early on.

480
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: One of the big frustrations for Sean Payton, and you

481
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: saw a bubble over on the sidelines at times last year,

482
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: was Russell Wilson simply not executing the plays the way

483
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: Sean Payton had drawn them up, or the way he

484
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: wanted him executed. I've had to coaches and scouts in

485
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: the pre draft process about why Bonix was a good

486
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: fit for Denver. A big part of it was he

487
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: is a coaches kid. He will do exactly what Sean

488
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,479
Speaker 1: Payton is asking him to do. Bridget Omar, thank you

489
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 1: very much. Look forward to talking to you again soon.

490
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: Baldy don't move. You and I have a lot of

491
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: business coming up. This is Cam Jordan at last year's

492
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: Sex Summit. Who are some of the potential rising stars

493
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: at this year's event? Baldy breaks it down with me

494
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: next on the inside. Did you use some of that

495
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: autumn wind right about now in Vegas? Where at this

496
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: moment it's summer and it's hot as hell for the

497
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 1: sacks of it that will be kicking off in Vegas

498
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: later on this week, some of the top pass rushers

499
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: from around the NFL getting together as they have in

500
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: recent years. You know who else will be there, Our

501
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: guy Brian Baldinger, who right now is with me, Tom

502
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: Pelisero right here on the insiders, Balding, this is a

503
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 1: phenomenal event that has kind of inspired some of the

504
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: other events too that we've seen taking place for other

505
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: position groups. You get an up close look at all

506
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: these guys. Tell me some of the guys that you're

507
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: excited to see out there in Vegas.

508
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 5: Well, I'm going to see Warren Stapp and John Randall

509
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 5: and Von Miller and Max Crosby and Cam Jordan. That's good,

510
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 5: not that, but there's some young guys that are going

511
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 5: to be there. I mean, you look at James Houston,

512
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 5: who was drafted by Detroit two years ago. He's from

513
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 5: Fort Lauderdale, ended up graduating from Jackson State. I was

514
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 5: there with Dion, But I call this the flying will lend,

515
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 5: hesitation and dip like he's got a creativity to them

516
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 5: and how he gets to the quarterback. Remember back in

517
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 5: twenty twenty two, he had eight sacks in seven games.

518
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 5: I mean he was ripping the league apart and beaten

519
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 5: siled left tackles like Cam Robinson here with a variety

520
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 5: of moves. Now he got hurt in the second week

521
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 5: last year, but he's going.

522
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 4: To be there.

523
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 5: He's going to be learning from Vonn and Max and

524
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 5: and Cam Jordan's some of these guys about techniques and

525
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 5: how to set your guy up. And then there's Klijah

526
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 5: Cansy and so you know, Calijah Kancy is a guy

527
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 5: that was the first round pick last year obviously of Tampa.

528
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 5: But I thought after tearing his caf in preseason, he

529
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 5: came on and really came on where he has an

530
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 5: array of moves, he's got a plan, he's got a

531
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 5: way to get there. He has absurd quickness and abilities

532
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 5: to defeat blocks, and I think this thing is only

533
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 5: especially with Sap and with Randall. There guys that play

534
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 5: his position. I think he's going to benefit a lot

535
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 5: from being around those guys. Hit sacks in both postseason

536
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 5: games a year ago. And then finally, I think the

537
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 5: guy that I think I'm interested in seeing is the

538
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 5: Buffalo Bills fifth round pick Javon Solomon from Troy. I mean,

539
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 5: he did have the sixteen sacks last year. He had

540
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 5: over thirty in his career Troy. But you know, he's

541
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 5: an undersized guy. He's about six to one, about two fifty,

542
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 5: but man, he comes off the edge. He comes off

543
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 5: the edge where I mean, he brings a little something

544
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 5: to the party, if you know what I mean. And

545
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 5: I just think this is a guy that nobody's paying

546
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 5: attention to, nobody's talking about, but he's gonna be up

547
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 5: there and Buffalo Vaughn's got almost the entire defensive line there,

548
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 5: aj Panessa at Oliver, They're all coming, all these rookies

549
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 5: are coming up there.

550
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 4: I got to watch, though.

551
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 5: I'm interested in just seeing his practice, habits, his quickness

552
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:45,479
Speaker 5: and all those things.

553
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 4: Is this Javon Solomon from Troy.

554
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: There's been a few pass rushers over the years from

555
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: those smaller schools have ended up having a big impact

556
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL. John Solomon definitely a name to watch.

557
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: Baldy stick around. We're gonna be talking with you a

558
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: more a little bit later coming up after this though,

559
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit of fantasy football. Our guy

560
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: Michael F. Florio is back Stefan Diggs one of many

561
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 1: top names, big names that are on new teams in

562
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. But should they be on your fantasy team?

563
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: Florio's got answers after this on The Insiders, CG. Stroud

564
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs still building that chemistry even when they're in

565
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: Paris for fashion week. This is Strouded Diggs getting some

566
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: work in on whatever patch of grass they can find

567
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: right there, and that is some patchy grass on the

568
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: patcho grass.

569
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 2: But hey, you take the reps where you can get them.

570
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 1: Less than a month from now they will be out

571
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 1: there on the field together in training camp. Welcome back

572
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: to the Insiders. I am Tom Pellicero, join now this

573
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: time for real by Michael F. Florio, our fantasy expert

574
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: on the show. Florio, I'm really interested in this one

575
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: with Stefan Diggs because for whatever issues may have been

576
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: surrounding the Bills offense, multiple different play callers. You could

577
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: go into a season knowing for certain he's gonna have

578
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty one hundred and sixty targets going

579
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 1: to Houston, but they've got different mix of weapons. How

580
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: do you feel about Stefan diggs stock for twenty twenty

581
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:20,719
Speaker 1: four in fans?

582
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 8: I think it certainly has to be viewed as being

583
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 8: lower than it has been with the Buffalo Bills.

584
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 9: You talk about his targets.

585
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 8: He averaged one hundred and sixty targets per year in Buffalo.

586
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 9: I just don't see any way he gets to that number.

587
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 8: With Nico Collins and Tank Dell and then Dalton Schultz,

588
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 8: Joe Mixon and those other secondary options there. This could

589
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 8: be potentially viewed as a quarterback downgrade. And last year,

590
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 8: in the second half of the season, Diggs was a

591
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 8: wide receiver for for fantasy purposes. I'm worrying if that

592
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 8: was the start of early signs of decline and the

593
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 8: deep playball was what was really missing from his game.

594
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 8: If he loses that, then he just becomes kind of

595
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 8: a safe moor play in fantasy. I think it costs

596
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 8: right now. I'll take Nico Collins over him.

597
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 1: Let's talk some other big names in new places here.

598
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley goes to Philadelphia. We all know what Saquon

599
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: can do when he's healthy. He also now has new

600
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, who has a reputation for wanting

601
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: to throw the football a lot. Does Saquon stock rise

602
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: or fall with the move to Philly?

603
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 8: I think his value goes up in Philly because this

604
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 8: is the best offense he's ever played in, with the

605
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 8: best quarterback play, best pass catchers, best downfield attack. All

606
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 8: of those things should help open up space near the

607
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 8: line of scrimmage and help create running lanes for Saquon Barkley,

608
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 8: who I think will remain a three down back and

609
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 8: hurts his legs himself. His running ability could help open

610
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 8: up some paths for Saquon. Imagine those two running the

611
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 8: option or something like that, and I know.

612
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 9: Everyone's going to be like, but the tush push. He

613
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 9: could steal some touchdowns away, sure, but the Eagles are

614
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 9: going to score way more.

615
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 8: Polling send way more touchdowns the Giants did a year ago,

616
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 8: so I think because of all that this is a

617
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 8: good thing for Sakuon and his fantasy value.

618
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: And then how about Calvin Ridley, one of the big

619
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: surprises in free agency. A lot of people believe he's

620
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: going back to Jacksonville. All of a sudden he signs

621
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: with the Tennessee Titans. Does his stock rise or fall

622
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: after his comeback season in Jacksonville?

623
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 9: I think it kind of stays the same.

624
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 8: Like last year, he was a boom er bust wide

625
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 8: receiver two for fantasy purposes, And while I have him

626
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 8: ranked a little bit lower than now than I did

627
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 8: a year ago, I think he's his value remains pretty similar.

628
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 8: Last year, Will Levis led the NFL in deep pass

629
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 8: his hero throws and first read throws.

630
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 9: Ridley should account for.

631
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 8: Most of those this year, and we're already hearing that

632
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 8: he could play the Jamar Chase role in Brian Callahan's offense.

633
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 8: So I think there'll be a lot of volume and

634
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 8: a lot of deep shots going his way, just with.

635
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 9: The quarterback play.

636
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 8: It's probably going to be up and down week to week,

637
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 8: but there will be some huge games mixed in and

638
00:29:58,520 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 8: then some dead games as well.

639
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: So to recap from Florio Draft, Saquon, Maybe draft Ridley

640
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: and draft Nico Collins. Three nuggets to keep in your

641
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: back pocket with sixty nine days left to get those

642
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: fantasy drafts in Florio, You're the man. Thank you as

643
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: always for being here. We are less than a month

644
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: away from training camp, which means well players and ex

645
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,719
Speaker 1: players have a little time on their hands. What are

646
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: the Eagles up to those jello shots? If so, can

647
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: I have one? At about nine minutes? We'll talk about

648
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: that a lot more next on the Insiders. Happy thirty

649
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: fourth birthday to a future Hall of Famer Bobby Wagner,

650
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: now in his first season re united with Dan Quinn

651
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: in Washington with the Commanders. Big birthday day around the NFL.

652
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: Happy twenty fourth birthday Chris Olave, a Saints wide receiver

653
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: also celebrating today, as is Titans quarterback Will Levis, who

654
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: turned twenty five. But lest you think the Levis is

655
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: off just partying and enjoying himself.

656
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no.

657
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: He is in Cabo, so who knows what's going on tonight.

658
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: But during the daytime he's out there getting some work in.

659
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, Calvin Ridley among the Titans players working out

660
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: with Levis in Mexico, young quarterback, getting those veterans to

661
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: show up for an event like this, Hey, there are

662
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: worse places to be at the end of June, but

663
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: still significant. He's putting the work in. Meanwhile, Russell Wilson

664
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: is working out with DK Metcalf. They've done this in

665
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: years past, and of course they were teammates for quite

666
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: a while there in Seattle. Two teams later, Russell Wilson

667
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: still got his guy DK on his side. Welcome back

668
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: to the insiders, Tom Pilicero and Brian or Baldy. It's

669
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: always interesting because every coach gives a variation of the

670
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: same speech to the team on the last day of

671
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: OTA's er minicamp, which is, hey, stay out of trouble,

672
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: come back in the best shape of your life. Everybody

673
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: does this a little bit differently. Some of them do

674
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: it more publicly on social media than others. But when

675
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: you see videos like this, how much does any work

676
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: you're getting in, especially those quarterbacks and wide receivers during

677
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: this time of year actually matters when it comes time

678
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: to play the games.

679
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 5: Well, I think it matters because your focus is never

680
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 5: completely off the game, even though you're having a good

681
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 5: time in Cabo or Los Angeles wherever. Honestly, Tom, when

682
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 5: I played, my best friends were my teammates. We did

683
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 5: everything together. I mean, I know it's still like that

684
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 5: to a degree. It's changed a little bit. But you know,

685
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 5: when you see Will Levis down in Cabo, I mean, yes,

686
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 5: when the sun goes down, there could be some fun

687
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 5: down in Cabo if you had by everybody thot they's

688
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 5: throwing the football out there. They found a field somewhere

689
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 5: down here in Cabo, probably close to some golf course,

690
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 5: where they were all taking each other's money for a

691
00:32:58,640 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 5: little while this afternoon.

692
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 4: I think it's a good thing. There's got to be

693
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 4: a little bit of a balance.

694
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 5: You got to have some fun, you got to get away,

695
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 5: but you still want to come to camp in shape.

696
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 4: You don't want to miss time.

697
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 5: You want to get there running, being ready to go

698
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 5: hit the field, going running as fast as you can

699
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 5: right now and being up to speed. And so I

700
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 5: think all these things, whether it's a sack summit, the

701
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 5: offensive line masterminds. I'm going to in Frisco in a

702
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 5: couple of weeks. The tight ends just had their camp

703
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 5: in Nashville. It's the chance to kind of bond. The

704
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 5: camaraderie is real, have some fun, learn some things, and

705
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 5: still keep your eye on the prize, which is training camp,

706
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 5: you know, starting in a couple of weeks.

707
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: Right now, you know who else is out there having fun?

708
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: The other people who are normally helping me host the show.

709
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: We've got Ian Rappaport and his wife Leah, who are

710
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: parts and on Baldi, correct me if I'm wrong. Here

711
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: is that where they are?

712
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 4: That is the part on right there, right there in Athens.

713
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 4: It's probably one hundred degrees there today as well.

714
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, real feeling bad about Ian taking a two

715
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: and a half week European vacation. Mike Garafalo is tending

716
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: at Jackson Kelsey's event for the Eagles Autism Foundation. Good

717
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: on Mike for volunteering there in the community. When Baldy's

718
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: not here giving us pass rusher breakdowns.

719
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,760
Speaker 2: He's doing stuff like this. Is this the Caribbean, Baldi?

720
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 2: Tell me where you are here?

721
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 5: That is the Dominican Republic. That's Caraby and water. It

722
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 5: just looks different, it feels different than every other place

723
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 5: out there. So I was there last weekend, got some

724
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 5: other trip planned here before we get the training camps

725
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 5: to maybe you'll see another photo like that pretty soon.

726
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,439
Speaker 1: All right, then let's take a look at what I've

727
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: been doing here during the off seat.

728
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 2: Oh wait, this is it right here, I've been in

729
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 2: this seat. This is it this show.

730
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: I hope me that my camera stays all long time,

731
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: so I get through another one bit.

732
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 4: Hey God, somebody's doing the show. Good job.

733
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:53,439
Speaker 1: Tom seventy days till football, Baldi, seventy days still kick off,

734
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 1: less than a month until every team is on the field.

735
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: That's why we're here for all of you watching. Kvon

736
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: Timm going to be on the show tomorrow. Giants pass

737
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: Rusher Eli Manning is going to join from down at

738
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: the Manning Passing Academy. A whole lot more through the

739
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 1: course of a fun Friday show.

740
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 2: Baldy, you're the best.

741
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: Thank you for taking a little bit of a burden

742
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 1: off my shoulders to keep carrying this thing all week.

743
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: Now get back to the beach. Everybody else see you
