1
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is back on the field, and so are

2
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,159
Speaker 1: the Ravens for this week's mandatory mini camp. Can the

3
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five version do more than just get back

4
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: to the playoffs? Hear what they're saying today about big

5
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 1: plans in Baltimore. The Countdown continues to training camp for

6
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: teams around the league, and particularly those that still need

7
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: to re sign some.

8
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 2: Of their superstars.

9
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: We will tell you whether to be patient or maybe

10
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: panic on the state of talks with Michael Parsons and more.

11
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: We also to Cincinnati, where they've got drama with their

12
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: pass rushers, but not their offense. Orlando Brown Junior, the

13
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: big man at left tackle, joins the show tonight to

14
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: talk about just how good this star studded Bengals offense

15
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: can be. Welcome inside with the inside there's alongside Ian

16
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: Rappaport and Judy Battista.

17
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 2: I am Tom Peliicero.

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: Twenty nine days away from kickoff to the twenty twenty

19
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: five season. How about this for a time staff. By

20
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: the way, one month from today, the Chargers practice the

21
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: first team on the field for training camp. For now,

22
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: we got four teams out there for MIDI camp. Let's

23
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: head to East Rutherford. The Giants one of those four

24
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: teams back on the field for the only mandatory off

25
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: season activities earlier today. Quarterbacks, of course, a big storyline

26
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: for that team. Russell Wilson atop the depth chart. Jamis

27
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: Winston is there, and Brian Dable continues to sound like

28
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: he's a pretty pretty big fan of one.

29
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: Jackson dark.

30
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not excellent, he's picking up the information. He's

31
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 3: you know, it's really good to have Russ and Jamis

32
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 3: and even Tommy because Tommy's been in this system for

33
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 3: a few years here and it's kind of the head

34
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 3: statesman in terms of that and all the adjustments that

35
00:01:59,120 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: take place or the car.

36
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 4: Uh.

37
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 3: He's fit right in with those guys. He's smart, he's

38
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 3: aggressive with the football, which I like. And then you know,

39
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: the true test will be once we start and there's

40
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 3: live hitting in the preseason games and things like that.

41
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 3: But he's progressed, you know, since he's been here to

42
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 3: where he's not, he's made he's made good improvement. You

43
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: can give him a lot, he can he can absorb

44
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 3: a lot, and then he knows kind of what to

45
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 3: weed out and then what to really focus on. The

46
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,399
Speaker 3: next day. So he's he's been good. Yeah, I'd say

47
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 3: he's worked with the second team, the first team, and

48
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 3: the third team.

49
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: Everybody knows the rules.

50
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: That was a Tommy Devido reference in the first three

51
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: minutes of The Insiders drink Ian, let's talk about the

52
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks there with the giants. We know this is

53
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 1: a really interesting room. Jackson darts the guy for the

54
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: first time, Joe Shane and Brian Dable identified they picked

55
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: their guy, but they also signed Russell Wilson. At every turn,

56
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: Dabel has deferred to him as QB one. Where do

57
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: we stand now in mini camp and how if it

58
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: all potentially? Do you see things changing as we roll

59
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: through training camp in the preseason.

60
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: You know, we've seen.

61
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 5: Brian Dabels poker face plenty. He goes to the podium

62
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 5: in real life, he's a pretty gregarious, fun guy. At

63
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 5: the podium, not so much. He's really close to the best.

64
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 5: Doesn't say very much, but when the topic is Jackson Dart,

65
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 5: Brian Daboll really changes, doesn't really hide, doesn't feel like

66
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 5: hiding how much he thinks of the rookie quarterback that

67
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 5: they drafted this year. I mean, I go back to

68
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 5: the clip right inside the draft room, right before the

69
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 5: Giants were taking Jackson Dart after they made that big

70
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 5: trade up to go get him. Joe Shane looks at

71
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 5: Brian Daball and says, you got your guy, like it

72
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 5: is clear that this is Brian Daball's guy. After years

73
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 5: and years of running out not his guy, he now

74
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 5: gets his guy. So, yes, Russell Wilson is going to

75
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 5: be the starter. Really, there's no surprise there. I expect

76
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 5: Russell Wilson to take the first snap with the first

77
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 5: team in the first game for the Giants. If you

78
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 5: listen to everything Brian Dable says, you get an understanding

79
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 5: of how far along Jackson Dart.

80
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: Is and where you think he's going to go.

81
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 5: It's clearly a matter of when, not if. And I'm

82
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 5: really curious to see how good this Giants team could

83
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 5: be whenever they deemed Jackson Art ready. And you see

84
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 5: Brian Dabos offense with the quarterback he wants, It's going

85
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 5: to really really be fascinating to see, especially if this

86
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 5: offensive line is better than it was last year, which it.

87
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: Really should be.

88
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,799
Speaker 6: But let me take you back to when the Giants

89
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 6: signed Russell Wilson. Somebody who knows the Giants well said

90
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 6: to me, desperate teams do desperate things. They were desperate

91
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 6: for a veteran quarterback. They knew at that point they

92
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 6: were almost certainly going to try to draft one that

93
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 6: became Jackson Dark, but they needed a veteran presence to

94
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 6: start the season. The question is how committed they are

95
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 6: going to remain to Russell Wilson as the starting quarterback.

96
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 6: They have said ever since the day they drafted Jackson

97
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 6: Dark that the plan was to have him sit on

98
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 6: the bench and learn. They believe he's got a lot

99
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 6: to learn. But we've been over this before. The Giants

100
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 6: have a very very difficult schedule, especially in the first

101
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 6: half of the season, and so even if Russell Wilson

102
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 6: is playing fine, it's very possible that the Giants are

103
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 6: not winning a lot of games in the first half

104
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 6: of the season. That's really going to test their plan,

105
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 6: because you know, we've seen it over and over again

106
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 6: around the league when teams are struggling, the call always

107
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 6: comes to go with the young guy, see if he

108
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 6: can give the team a spark. So are they going

109
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 6: to stick with their plan to let Jackson Dart sit

110
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 6: on the bench and learn or will they go to him?

111
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 6: At what point in the season will they go to him?

112
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 6: When will they think he's ready? Because there are probably

113
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 6: some jobs in that building that are on the line

114
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 6: this season, and you know they are going to want

115
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 6: to see what they have in Jackson.

116
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: Dart, particularly when it's a first round pick. This is

117
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: not a second round or a mid round guy. This

118
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: is somebody you trade it up to get to go

119
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: and get him with a second first round pick, We'll

120
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: probably talk more about Jackson Dart than the other guy.

121
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: Remember that one they took a number three. People thought

122
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: that are they gonna take Shad or Sanders. No, They've

123
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: got Neil Carter, one of the best players in the draft.

124
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: Another difference on the edge for a team that already

125
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: had a couple others. Kevon Thibodeau already calling Abdul Carter

126
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: a beast. They made the big trade last year for

127
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: Brian Burns as well a lot of fun pieces for

128
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: Shane Bowen to play Chesswick through the course of this seasons.

129
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: Welcome in are Brian Baldinger. Baldy, I remember everything you

130
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: said about Abdul Carter. Going back to the pre draft

131
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: process here, what do you think of him with Big

132
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: Blue and how do you envision them using all those

133
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: different rushers in different ways.

134
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 7: Well, I'm excited to watch him because.

135
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 8: He's got elite movement tom and it's not just rushing

136
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 8: the passer. His ability to defeat blocks, to not stay blocked,

137
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 8: get off blocks in the run game, and to go

138
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 8: make plays was evident in three years of Penn State.

139
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 8: But for Shane Bowen, the defensive coort heat of the

140
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 8: second year, he's a big believer in rushing four, he's

141
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 8: out a big blitzkoy get to the quarterback with four

142
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 8: maybe four man twists, maybe some assimilated pressure. But he's

143
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 8: going to join that group of Kavon Thibodeau, Brian Burns.

144
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 7: And Extra Lawrence, which can be elite.

145
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 8: And I just think that you know when you watch

146
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 8: him and he'll be on the field every down. He

147
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 8: does have the ability to move around because he did

148
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 8: play two years at the off the ball inside linebacker.

149
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 8: You can line up there if you want to in

150
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 8: certain situations, match them up with certain players in certain situations.

151
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 8: I think they're gonna give him a lot because he's

152
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 8: a natural football player with great movement who loves to

153
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 8: play the game. So I think the more you can

154
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 8: give him, the more exciting he's going to be. But

155
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 8: he's gonna be around some really good players that I

156
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 8: just mentioned. He has a chance to make those players better,

157
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 8: and that's always the sign of a great player.

158
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: First task for Abnuel Carter chasing around Jaden Daniels in

159
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: their opener in September. The Ravens meanwhile, open up against

160
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: the Bills, one of several tasty weekend opening matchups. They're

161
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: out there as well for this week's Minnie Camp. Lamar

162
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: Jackson has skipped a lot of the voluntary work through

163
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: the spring. In the house this week. Do not exactly

164
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: sound eager to talk reporters about a potential contract etcent.

165
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 9: You know, I never discussed contract situations here, but yeah,

166
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 9: I don't want to talk about it that okay with you.

167
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,119
Speaker 9: I don't think I'll get over any loss, to be honest,

168
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 9: I got lost this from youth football. That still hunting me,

169
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 9: you know, so I never get over it.

170
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: I was.

171
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 9: I don't care how small it may be to someone else,

172
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 9: or how great it might be. It's always the same

173
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 9: for me. It's football everything not gonna go away, man.

174
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 9: You know before it was like, oh, you can't win

175
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 9: a playoff game. You know, we won a playoff game.

176
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 9: We got to the LC Championship two years ago and

177
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 9: we just fell short, like two games short this year.

178
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 9: But we're gonna bounce back and we come back. I

179
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 9: feel like were gonna have venguins on our mind.

180
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: Lamar is contextualizing things there, Judy, I think pretty well.

181
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: Because this is a Ravens team that's been at the

182
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: precipice for several years now. The question always is how

183
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: do they take that next step? And it seemed like

184
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: based on their offseason, they believe they've already got a

185
00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 1: lot of the right pieces in place.

186
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 2: They had.

187
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 6: You know, they've had like a quietly really strong offseason.

188
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 6: There's been so much drama with the other teams in

189
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 6: the ANFC North, and so I feel like the Ravens

190
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 6: have sort of flown a little bit under the radar.

191
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 6: But think about what they've done in this off season.

192
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 6: They retained Ronnie Stanley, extended Derrick Henry, drafted Malachi Starts,

193
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 6: signed d Hop. They've done an awful lot of things

194
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 6: to strengthen what was already a very very strong roster.

195
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 6: As you said, this team has been so so close.

196
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 6: They were in the conference championship game one season ago.

197
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 6: Last year they got booted in the divisional round. They

198
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 6: are just looking for a way to take the next step,

199
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 6: but they have been so close there consistently in the playoffs.

200
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 2: This is a.

201
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 6: Consistent super Bowl team as long as Lamar Jackson is healthy.

202
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 6: That's another thing they did this offseason, Cooper Rush. They

203
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 6: got a strong backup quarterback in case Lamar gets hurt.

204
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 6: But this is a team that as long as Lamar

205
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 6: Jackson is healthy and on the field, will be in

206
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 6: the mix. Certainly will be in the mix in the

207
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 6: AFC North, and should be in the mix in the AFC.

208
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 5: And you look at that screen of the players they've signed.

209
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 5: Bringing back Ronnie Stanley a couple of days or maybe

210
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 5: a day whenever it was before free agency has to

211
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 5: be one of the best moves of the entire offseason

212
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 5: because if you want Lamar Jackson to be himself, if

213
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 5: you wanted to be comfortable back there and make the

214
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 5: plays he always has, it.

215
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 2: Helps to have a really, really good left tackle.

216
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 5: That was key getting that contract done. The other thing

217
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 5: I would say keeping Mark Andrews there, We'll see what happens,

218
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 5: and there's still trade interest from some teams. Ravens have

219
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 5: not been keeping Mark Andrews there no doubt paramount. You

220
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 5: listen to Lamar Jackson earlier today, give a vote of

221
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 5: confidence for Mark Andrews. You understand how valuable he is.

222
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 5: But this team is not exactly done doing business. Mar

223
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 5: Jackson didn't want to talk about his contract. That is fine,

224
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 5: I will talk about it. The team has had discussions

225
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 5: with Lamar and his representation, which is himself, about a

226
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 5: potential new deal. Will be interested to see if in

227
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 5: fact he ends up as the highest paid quarterback in

228
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 5: the NFL, if he eclipses Dak Prescott or not. He's

229
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 5: got a huge cap numbers for doing the new deal

230
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 5: can benefit the Ravens as well. Another playoff for a

231
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 5: new deal Isaiah Likely. I know the Ravens really see

232
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 5: him as the future of the tight end position, even

233
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 5: if they still see Mark Andrews with a big role

234
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 5: this year. How they handle the Isaiah Likely situation. Are

235
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 5: they able to lock him up at some point before

236
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 5: the season, we really really interesting to tell.

237
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 3: For Baltimore as well.

238
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that was Lamar the player. No commenting

239
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: at the podium because Lamar the agent might have wanted

240
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: to go up there and just remind everybody here remember

241
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: how good this Ravens offense is. With Lamar my client

242
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: of me, Lamar the agent. Look at the Raykings that

243
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: they had last year. This was one of the best

244
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: offenses in virtually every single category that you could possibly

245
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: think of here, and they did it in different ways,

246
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: creating big plays not just in the past game, but

247
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: in the running game as well. As you bring in

248
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: Brian Baldinger here, this is not bringing in DeAndre Hopkins

249
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 1: of five years ago. There have been some injury issues

250
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: that he's dealt with. He's getting to be an older player.

251
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: But this is part of what Eric de Costa has

252
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: done here, is trying to mix and match those young

253
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: playmakers with some veterans. They always seem to make some additions.

254
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: As you look at this Ravens offense, what's the upside?

255
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: Where can they get better in twenty twenty five?

256
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 7: Well, Lamar, I.

257
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 8: Mean maybe because Tom he didn't win his third MVP.

258
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 8: Maybe we don't think of Lamar as the elite player

259
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 8: that he is. Get one of the great seasons for

260
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 8: a quarterback of all time. Last year, I mean, he

261
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 8: threw forty one touchdowns in foreign receptions, he led the

262
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 8: league in yards per ten, he led the league in

263
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 8: touchdown percentage per throw. He had the highest quarterback rating

264
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 8: by a long shot at one hundred and nine, fourth

265
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 8: highest in NFL history, and he ran for nine hundred

266
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 8: and seventy five yards. You know, you talk about Nuke

267
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 8: and some of the guys they brought in. He makes

268
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 8: everybody around him better. In fact, when you watch some

269
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 8: week in week out, he is indefensible at this point, and.

270
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 7: So you say, okay, what else can you do well?

271
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 8: He just finished his second season with offensive coordinator Todd Munkin.

272
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 8: It's clear that Todd and Lamar have a great relationship.

273
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 8: They see the game, they see the plays very similar

274
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 8: to each other. And then just to playmak the ability

275
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 8: that Lamar has, no matter what you try to do

276
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 8: to him, he puts you in a kerfuffle play in

277
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 8: play out, third downs, red zone because of his ability

278
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 8: to see the whole field and to be able to

279
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 8: just stay there in the pocket now and not have

280
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 8: to take off, but just trust his protection, move what

281
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 8: he has to to make a play, and so I

282
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 8: expect him to continue to improve because I think the

283
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 8: players around him are good. They've added some pieces on

284
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 8: the offensive line that might make them better.

285
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 7: Derek Hennery is going to be lining up right next

286
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 7: to him or right behind him. That's not going to change.

287
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 8: This should still be an elite offense and Lamar will

288
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 8: be in contention for his third MVP.

289
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 2: And Baldi.

290
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: We could break down all the various reasons of getting

291
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: over the proverbial hump by the Ravens haven't gotten there.

292
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: Maybe the biggest one the continued existence of the Kansas

293
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: City Chiefs because three years in a row.

294
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 2: They've been there.

295
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: Throughout the Rotrick Mahomes era, they've been in the AFC

296
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: Championship Game every season against what if you thought Mahomes

297
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: might finally start to fall off, here's him completing a

298
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: crazy side arm pass to Juju Smith Schuster earlier today.

299
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: The way last season, though, still stings for the likes

300
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: of Chris Jones, I think.

301
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 4: You used a lot of things as a motivation, especially

302
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 4: this past season, But you know the biggest motivation, you know,

303
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 4: making it to the big.

304
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 7: Game, losing only losing losing the way we did.

305
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 4: I think it's a lot a lot of people in

306
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 4: the build and feel like we could have done better.

307
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 4: We feel like we're better and you know, Soice get

308
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 4: him back to the mountain top now, all right.

309
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 6: Well, obviously, in a big reason for that Super Bowl

310
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 6: loss that Chris Jones was talking about was the offensive line.

311
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 6: It was an issue for the Chiefs really all of

312
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 6: last season. They sought to remedy that with their first

313
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 6: round draft pick, Josh Simmons. He sort of fell to

314
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 6: them late in the first round, coming off a big

315
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 6: injury that he suffered at the end of his college career.

316
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 6: Where do things stand with him?

317
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 5: Well, to me, they stand in a really really good place.

318
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 5: What the Kannas City Chiefs did was not just draft

319
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 5: Simmons in the first round and you're right, fell to them,

320
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 5: And this is someone I think they really secretly had

321
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 5: their eyes on the entire time. They were really happy

322
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 5: with where he was medically coming back from that torn

323
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 5: pintel attendant. Not all teams were sure about this one.

324
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 5: Chiefs were really happy with where he was. I think

325
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 5: tried to keep it quiet because this is the player

326
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 5: they wanted, just because he's such an unbelievably talented tackle

327
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 5: despite the injury, but they also don't want to rush them,

328
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 5: so they're giving him some time off during the spring.

329
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 5: They're making sure he has days to rehab and rehabilitate.

330
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 5: They also signed Jalen Moore to come in and be

331
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 5: their left tackle until whenever, basically until Simmons is ready,

332
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 5: or maybe the entire year, or maybe Simmons starts out

333
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 5: as the swing tackle. Most important thing for the Chiefs

334
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 5: is they have talent there and they have depth there

335
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 5: to not be caught short at one of the most

336
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 5: important positions on the football field. And seeing the resources

337
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 5: that they use to address this really underscores how important

338
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 5: and essential they believe a good left tackle is.

339
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 6: They have done an awful lot of work on that

340
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 6: offensive line. As a matter of fact, they could have

341
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 6: three position battles going into the summer. Here are some

342
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 6: big losses, notable losses, big names. Maybe the big one

343
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 6: that stands out to me most is guard Joe Toney.

344
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 6: Joe Toooney at the end of last season was playing

345
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 6: left tackle. The Chiefs had to use four different players

346
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 6: at left tackle last year. That goes again to the

347
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 6: instability of the offensive line let's bring our buddy Baldy

348
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 6: back again.

349
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 2: Baldy.

350
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 6: They could have as many as three position battles going

351
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 6: into training camp, but really only two starters locked in

352
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 6: on the offensive line. How important is it for that

353
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 6: offensive line to gel? Not just for this take the

354
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,479
Speaker 6: offensive line, but obviously for Patrick Mahomes.

355
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 7: Well, it's critical, Judy. For Patrick, I mean thinking about it.

356
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 8: You know, he's throwing fifty touchdown passes in a season

357
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 8: in his career early in his career.

358
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 7: He threw twenty six last year.

359
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 8: His yards for a tenth last year were the lowest

360
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 8: in his career, at six point eight yards pertend. At

361
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 8: one point he was thrown at eight point eight yards

362
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 8: per tend. What that says, without getting crazy about stats,

363
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 8: he can't hold the ball long enough to get the

364
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 8: ball down the field. They missed the explosive plays. It

365
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 8: happened in the Super Bowl third down. They couldn't convert

366
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 8: on third down. They couldn't stop that pass rush of

367
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 8: the Eagles, and they never blitzed one time. And they

368
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 8: still couldn't hold the ball and protect well enough. So

369
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 8: the band aid of Joe Toney got him to the

370
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 8: Super Bowl last year, but they had to rip it off,

371
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 8: and for the third year in the row, they drafted

372
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 8: a left tackle high in the draft. Maybe Josh Simmons

373
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 8: can be that guy protecting the backside of Mahomes where

374
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 8: he feels comfortable to be able to hold the ball

375
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 8: long enough to be able to push it down the

376
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 8: field to some of his targets. I think that's the

377
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 8: biggest thing right now offense is can they get the

378
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 8: big play back on any kind of a regular basis

379
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 8: because of the guys up front that can hold off

380
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 8: the pass rush coming after Mahomes.

381
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 6: I think to put this in context, Patrick Mahomes was

382
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 6: sacked thirty six times last season. That was the most

383
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 6: in his career by quite a few Baldi, Thank you

384
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 6: very much.

385
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 2: Tom.

386
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: Physically, I'm here hosting this show, but in my mind

387
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm with the Rams in Maui right now.

388
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 2: Where else would you really want to be?

389
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: We will check it on the Hawaii Rams coming up

390
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: after this. The list on Kien Williams and the possibility

391
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: of a Glan Ramsey trade. Also circle back on the

392
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: Bengals mini camp.

393
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 2: Orlando Brown Junior is going to be here.

394
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 1: Nobody knows that team better than their left tackle. Always

395
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: a fun interview. Lots more to come on The Insiders.

396
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 5: Man to be Matthew Stafford hanging out in Hawaii doing

397
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 5: a little practice at a very very professional looking field

398
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 5: where the focus is one hundred percent on football, not

399
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 5: on getting Giovanni shrimp truck, which maybe is the best

400
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 5: lunch I've ever.

401
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 2: Had in my life.

402
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 5: Anyway, a lot of great things happening with the Rams.

403
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 5: Listen to Sean McVay talk about the Hawaiian vacation or

404
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 5: mini camp.

405
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 10: The thing is, because Jalen is the caliber player that

406
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 10: he is, he's earned the right to be where he's at.

407
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 10: Usually those are scenarios and situations that you have to

408
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 10: have plans in place prior to executing some of the

409
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 10: decisions that have occurred. So definitely don't want to rule

410
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 10: anything out because we're always open minded to onboarding and

411
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 10: acquiring you know, quality players and people like him if

412
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 10: we're able to do that, But there would be, you know,

413
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 10: some some obstacles that are real that are in the

414
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 10: place of maybe preventing that from a current.

415
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 2: Of Juda Batista.

416
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 5: As you listen to Sean mvay talk about trying to

417
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 5: acquire quality players while wearing sunglasses in Hawaii. Again, this

418
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 5: is a very serious football thing that's happening there. They're

419
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 5: not just there to surf, They're there to to do

420
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 5: football things in a very serious manner. One of the

421
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 5: players they acquired this past March, a very quality player,

422
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 5: was DeVante Adams, who has really embraced being a Ram

423
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 5: and this sort of rebirth. What kind of impact do

424
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 5: we expect him to have on this team.

425
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 6: Well, he has embraced it. And it takes me to

426
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 6: that picture of Sean McVay and Maui. Dvante Adams used

427
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 6: the word vibe and aura talking about his experience so

428
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 6: far with the Rams. He has fit in really well.

429
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 6: Of course, this is one of the signature acquisitions of

430
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 6: the offseason. He's brought in there to replace Cooper Kuppe,

431
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,479
Speaker 6: to pair with Phuka Nakua. And you may say, all right, well,

432
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,959
Speaker 6: Davante Adams is nearing the you know, the back end

433
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 6: of his career here, Okay, But under ridiculous circumstances last

434
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 6: season he was traded in the middle of the season

435
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 6: to a Jets team that was headed for a complete rebuild.

436
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 6: He still had one thousand yards receiving fifth season in a.

437
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 2: Row like that.

438
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 6: He still had eight receiving touchdowns. So Devonte Adams was

439
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 6: still performing at a very high level under really challenging circumstances.

440
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 6: I would say, so, Imagine what he can do. Imagine

441
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 6: how good he must feel with the Rams. With an

442
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 6: established veteran quarterback like Matthew Stafford and a coach in

443
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 6: Sean McVay who is focused on getting the very best

444
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 6: for Matthew Stafford, this is a great situation for Devontae

445
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 6: Adams and a pretty good situation for Matthew Stafford too.

446
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say so.

447
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 5: Obviously, the big addition on offense, you really do wonder

448
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 5: wonder if the Rams are going to have a similarly

449
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 5: big addition on defense. The Jalen Ramsey trade, the prospect

450
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 5: of a reunion with the Miami Dolphins corner who. I

451
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 5: think it's safe to say both of the sides, Dolphins

452
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 5: and Ramsey would more than welcome a split, more than

453
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 5: welcome a new home for Ramsey.

454
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 2: The Rams make these.

455
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 5: They have not been able to figure out a deal

456
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 5: just yet. It's complicated. Twenty one million dollars for Jill

457
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 5: and Ramsey. Do the Dolphins eat some of that money

458
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 5: to trade them. If they do, how does that affect

459
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 5: the draft pick compensation. There's really a lot there, but

460
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 5: the fact that the Rams have not ruled it out,

461
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 5: the Dolphins have not ruled it out. Certainly, Ramsey has

462
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 5: not ruled out a reunion with a team that he

463
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 5: likes so much, with people that he liked to deal

464
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 5: with so much. It certainly is something that we will

465
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 5: be watching. We will keep watching until this trade maybe

466
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 5: sort of eventually happens before training campers some point. It

467
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 5: is absolutely going to be a topic of discussion. Good stuff,

468
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 5: Judy hanging there. We will get back to you, obviously,

469
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 5: very surely. Let's turn our attention to the San Francisco

470
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 5: forty nine ers and Brock Purty. No, we don't have

471
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 5: to talk about a new contract for Brock party. We

472
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 5: already did that with plenty of time to go in

473
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 5: the off season. John Lynch is down managers of forty

474
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 5: nine ers, handled most financial things, in fact, all financial things.

475
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 5: Listen to Lynch discuss their outlook for this offseason.

476
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 11: Which all signaled something that we knew a plan of ours,

477
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 11: which was we had to get younger, and we had

478
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 11: to get a little cheaper because we had some plans

479
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 11: on what we wanted to do with our core and

480
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 11: our obviously our quarterback, and so I think, you know,

481
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 11: some twists and turns, but we executed a plan that

482
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 11: we needed.

483
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: To Tom Pella, Sarah, Brian Baldinger back here on the Insiders, Baldi,

484
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: we talked so much about the offensive changes for the

485
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: forty nine ers in this offseason, moving on from Deebo

486
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: Samuel Christian McCaffrey being back and by all accounts looking healthy.

487
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: But this's become an annual right of passage. A different

488
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. They've had these changes every year. What do

489
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: you make of Robert Sla being back there and the

490
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: impact that can have across the entire day.

491
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 8: A couple of things, Tom Robin sALS now their fourth

492
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 8: defensive coordinator in the last four years, in four since

493
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 8: Robert Sala left to be the head coach of the Jets.

494
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 8: He is a front four dominant defensive coach. He wants

495
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 8: to get home and disrupt quarterbacks with the front four.

496
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 7: Well, John Lynch, they had to get younger.

497
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 8: They kept bringing in veteran retreads on the defensive front.

498
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 8: They just did not produce and so last year was

499
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,239
Speaker 8: not a good year for this defense. And so I

500
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 8: saw John Lynch at the Senior Bowl this year with

501
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 8: a very deep draft and defensive lineman. They went out

502
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 8: and spent the first pick on Mike kel Williams, second

503
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 8: pick Alfred Collins, fourth pick CJ. West, they went and

504
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 8: traded for Bryce Hup. They have rejuvenated that defensive front

505
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 8: and if the defense is going to take a turnaround

506
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 8: from a year ago where they didn't take the ball

507
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 8: away enough, they didn't get off the field, especially the

508
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 8: last three weeks of the season with Nick Bosa on

509
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 8: the shelf injured, that was not a good looking defense.

510
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 7: But maybe with.

511
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 8: This front four should be young, should be rejuvenated right now,

512
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 8: relying on youth and get Nick Bosa back fully healthy.

513
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 8: I think it could be the start of turning things

514
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 8: around and the start of putting youth back into this defense.

515
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 1: Forty nine ers want to get more out of that defense.

Speaker 1: ready to go, it's our next guest. Four time Pro

531
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: Bowl tackle Orlando Brown Junior is with us here on

532
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: the Insiders with me, Tom Pelicero and Brian Baldinger. Orlando,

533
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: I know you always stay ready. What are you up

534
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: to it right now?

535
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 2: How was life for you?

536
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 7: Man?

537
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 12: Life's been really good. I'm just here in Cincinnati. Honestly,

538
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 12: I don't really leave here, you know. For me, it's

539
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 12: more about the mental to aspect the things, being able

540
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 12: to stay in it, continue to I guess, stay in

541
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 12: that state of mind. You know, I think a lot

542
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 12: of times before you know, getting away, I might get

543
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 12: my mind away from it too much. And for me,

544
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 12: I think I found something good for me in my

545
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 12: career being here full time.

546
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 8: One of those things you did last year, Zeus that

547
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 8: you told me about was you got in the pool,

548
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 8: you were swimming, You're doing laps, you know, like, were

549
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 8: you swimming this year if you found something else to

550
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 8: like occupy your time to build your body, to shape

551
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 8: it the way you want to.

552
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:41,479
Speaker 7: Get ready for the season.

553
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, No, in the summers, I'll still be in

554
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 12: the pool. I'll still be swimming. For me, I do

555
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 12: a lot of boxing between February, March and April pretty

556
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 12: much before we.

557
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 7: Go into that OTA phase.

558
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 12: But yeah, I'll be swimming, man, I'll be refinding my

559
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 12: past set all of those different things, riding my bike,

560
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 12: a big bike rider during this time of year. So

561
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 12: I'll still be in that pool.

562
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: From the offensive perspective here Orlando, and you've gotten a

563
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: feel for now through OTAs and through Mini camp. It's

564
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: a lot of familiar faces. It's the key playmakers. Obviously

565
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: Joe back. He's healthy right now, which is huge. You

566
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: guys got the deal done with Jamar Chase, You got

567
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 1: t Higgins back. What do you think you have in

568
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: Cincinnati on that side of the ball, man, I.

569
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 7: Mean we're really special, you know. I'm really proud of

570
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 7: the way.

571
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 12: That we worked this offseason, just with the intent and

572
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 12: focused from us as individuals, as players, everything that the

573
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 12: coaches threw at us, we were able to respond really well.

574
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 7: And I mean, I'm excited, man.

575
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 12: I mean, I think at the end of the day,

576
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 12: you know, paying Tea and Jamar making them more comfortable

577
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 12: knowing that they're going to be able to go out

578
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 12: there and sell out even more than they have in

579
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 12: the pass.

580
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 7: I think it's only going to make us better.

581
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 8: To be honest, sous, last year, you won your last

582
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 8: five games in a row to get to nine wins,

583
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 8: including Week eighteen to beating this deals. Do you feel

584
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 8: like is there any carry over when you finish the

585
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 8: season like that, even though you come up.

586
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 7: Short of the playoffs?

587
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 8: Is there a carryover to how you finish the season

588
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 8: going into the offseason.

589
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, that's a good question, I would say

590
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 12: for us, I think the focus has been more on

591
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 12: this year as opposed to last year in previous years,

592
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 12: because there's there's so many areas that we want to

593
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 12: take a take the next step in now, you know,

594
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 12: I think at the end of the day.

595
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 7: We know who we are, we know what our DNA.

596
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 12: Is, especially as a team and as an offense. Uh,

597
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 12: you know, so we have a ton of confidence in that.

598
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 12: But man, I mean, I wouldn't say that to me.

599
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 12: I don't think it's necessarily going to be a ton

600
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 12: of carryover, although you know you think it would be.

601
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 2: Now.

602
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: You guys always it seems Orlando have some type of

603
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: off season drama, right contract wise. Last year it was

604
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: Jumar and he was on and off the field. This

605
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: time around, and you got Trey Hendrickson who wants new

606
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: contracts make clear he's not playing on his existing deal.

607
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: And your first pick, Samar Stewart, it's been in the building,

608
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: but he hasn't actually practiced. Just give me a sense

609
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: of how the locker room is looking at these issues

610
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: and what level of confidence of venue you have what

611
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: it's time to play the real games.

612
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 2: These guys are out there.

613
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 12: Yeah, no, man, I'm very confident that they'll be out there.

614
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 12: I imagine in trade situation they'll get that figured out.

615
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 8: Man.

616
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 12: He's one of the best in the league at what

617
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 12: he does, you know, And I think in Schamar's case,

618
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 12: I imagine they'll get that done to coming to terms on

619
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 12: whatever the language or specific amount.

620
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 7: Of money it is.

621
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 12: Man, these are two very important players for us one

622
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 12: being an All Pro defensive player to your candidate, man,

623
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 12: and I imagine the team is going to take care

624
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 12: of business.

625
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 2: Judu.

626
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 7: I know you feel blessed on a daily basis, but you.

627
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 8: Know, from the standpoint of you leave Oklahoma and you

628
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 8: were working with Baker Mayfield protecting him, you get drafted

629
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 8: by the Baltimore Ravens, or protecting the Super Bowl MVP

630
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 8: Joe Flacco, Lamar takes over.

631
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 7: You work with Lamar Like the hell with right tackle.

632
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 7: I'm a left tackle.

633
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 8: I go to Kansas City and protect Patrick Mahomes winning

634
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 8: Super Bowl, and then you know what, it's time to

635
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 8: get paid.

636
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 7: Let me go to Cincinnati protect Joe Burrow.

637
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 8: Like you get the sense that, like you're in left

638
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 8: tackle heaven right now working with some of the guys

639
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 8: you've worked with over the last seven eight years.

640
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 7: I am, man, I am.

641
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 12: I've been very, very fortunately, very blessed to suit up

642
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 12: with some.

643
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 7: Of these men.

644
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 12: I mean, these are some of the best quarterbacks of

645
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 12: my current generational football man that a lot of kids

646
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 12: look up to, that a lot of our peers look

647
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 12: up to. And you know, I think, man, it's just

648
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 12: so cool to be able to me having met each

649
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 12: one of them at different career points in life or

650
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 12: different points of life, you know, being with Lamar as

651
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 12: a rookie before he wins his first MVP, being there

652
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 12: for Pat's second MVP, being here Joe don't have it yet,

653
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 12: but it's coming Joe's first MVP, and the transition in

654
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 12: the points of where they are in their career is

655
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 12: what makes it so cool and special to me.

656
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 2: Orlando.

657
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: I remember being at your very first rookie mini camp practice.

658
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: I was there for Lamar Jackson because he was a

659
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: first drum peck, but really I was there to see you,

660
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: and I can remember very clearly. You're at the podium,

661
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: You're this huge dude, you got your headband tied on,

662
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: You're in like the skin tight team gear. Was your

663
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: first time being out there, but you projected this kind

664
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: of maturity that you don't often see from rookies. I'm

665
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: wondering now, seven years later, what advice if any twenty

666
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: nine year old Orlando Brown Junior would be giving to

667
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: that guy back in twenty eighteen.

668
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, I think, just like anybody else man

669
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 12: in this professor controlling what you can control.

670
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 7: You know, it's something I would have told myself even more.

671
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 12: You know, I don't necessarily have any regrets how things

672
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,479
Speaker 12: have gone, but I do think that there are areas

673
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 12: I could have been better in just in terms of

674
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 12: nutrition and taking care of my body, things that would

675
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 12: have even put me on a higher trajectory. And you know,

676
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 12: if I could go back at time, I would tell

677
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 12: myself the control what you can control.

678
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 7: Zeus.

679
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 8: There's very few people at I've ever met that are

680
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 8: bigger than you. Until you introduced me to last year's

681
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 8: number one pick a Marius MEM's and I'm like, Yeah,

682
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 8: there's a guy bigger than Jews.

683
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 7: What can we expect here year two for a marriage?

684
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 8: Because he does he can't block out the sun. He

685
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 8: is a human eclipse, and so I'm just curious, second year,

686
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 8: what can we expect here from the young guy?

687
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 12: Yeah, high expectations, man, That's why we took him in

688
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 12: the first round last year. You know, I think at

689
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 12: the end of the day, Mims has been working his

690
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 12: tail off to get better, and to me, I think

691
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 12: that's everything.

692
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 7: You know, he's got the right mindset. He's had the

693
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 7: right mindset.

694
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 12: From day one since he came into building, and he's

695
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 12: done done all the little things and done everything right. So, man,

696
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 12: he's got huge expectations for herself. No better than anybody else.

697
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 12: But I mean, I would tell you he's been putting

698
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 12: the work in man, and you know, I'm really looking

699
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 12: forward to seeing what he puts on tape.

700
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: So come July twenty third, obviously you're gonna be laser

701
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: locked on getting this thing rolling in training camp. And

702
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: I know you do a lot of stuff off the field,

703
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: especially during times like this. Tell me about out the

704
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: Juneteenth Jubilee that's coming up here on Thursday.

705
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, so it's actually my second year doing this.

706
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 8: Man.

707
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 12: I hosted with the Freedom Center in downtown Cincinnati at

708
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 12: the Banks. Man, they do such a great job giving

709
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 12: us all the space and support that we need.

710
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 7: It will be a ton of people there as well.

711
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 12: But just celebrating Juneteenth, sharing the love with the city

712
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 12: was something that me and my family celebrated a ton.

713
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 7: You know, my dad's parents being from mccormerck County.

714
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 12: South Carolina, Plumber and South Carolina, really small town, small county,

715
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 12: and you know, it's just something we always grew up celebrating.

716
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 12: So just want to give back and educate people and

717
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 12: get together.

718
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: That's awesome, man, real quick too. Before we let you go,

719
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: you mentioned the swimming that you do in the off season.

720
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: Baldy is the guy who loves to post every scuba

721
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: diving video. He's swimming with sharks. You two in the pool,

722
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: two laps. Who's winning Orlandoh.

723
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 7: Man, I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm getting out

724
00:33:55,720 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 7: of there, Baldy, I'm getting out of there. Yeah, tell

725
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 7: you Zuos.

726
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 8: You might get me like off the start, but I

727
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 8: got a great flip turn when we hit that wall.

728
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 7: I'm coming.

729
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 8: I'm already coming back, bro. So I'm gonna keep showing

730
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 8: a flip turn for sure.

731
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 2: We're getting that video for tomorrow's show.

732
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: Orlando, thank you very much for being here, man, Best luck.

733
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 2: We'll see in Cincinnati in a few.

734
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 7: Weeks here of course, thank you, guys.

735
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: AFC North one of the most fascinating divisions in football,

736
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: not just because of the Bengals, but because that guy

737
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: is now in it. Aaron Rodgers just showed up a

738
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: week or so, go Honkin search. Would Pittsburgh fans be

739
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: about the late arrival? Judy Batista's thoughts on that and

740
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: the impact of other big off season storylines coming up

741
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: after this on the Incentives.

742
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 5: Pittsburgh Steelers do not have practiced this week, but that's okay.

743
00:34:55,239 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 5: They start practicing again July twenty fourth, Latrophy and that

744
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 5: guy right there, Aaron Rodgers, will be on the field.

745
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 5: The mystery is over. Rogers is on the Steelers. We

746
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 5: spent an entire offseason talking about it. Now it is

747
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 5: here and it is real, and let's bring back in

748
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,959
Speaker 5: Judy Batista to talk about your article on NFL dot

749
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 5: com once again.

750
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 2: Tell me what to think. So this is.

751
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 5: Where we will start off, Judi, what storylines may be

752
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 5: involving the Steelers. I don't know, just a little foreshadowing.

753
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 5: Should I not overreact to from the spring?

754
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 6: Should not overreact to Aaron Rodgers' late arrival with the

755
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 6: Pittsburgh Steelers, because it really wasn't all that late, even

756
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 6: though we spent weeks, weeks and weeks wondering when he

757
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 6: was finally going to show up. Don't forget for the

758
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 6: Jets last year, he wasn't at Mini caamp either, and

759
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,240
Speaker 6: he's still managed to throw for almost four thousand yards

760
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 6: and twenty eight touchdowns on a team that was headed

761
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 6: for a complete overhaul. So missing Mini caamp did not

762
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 6: appear to be a big problem last season.

763
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 2: For Aaron Rodgers.

764
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 6: The good news for the Pittsburgh Steelers is he is

765
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 6: another year removed from the achilles injury. In the second

766
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 6: half of the season last year for the Jets, he

767
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 6: certainly looked a lot better than he did in the

768
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 6: first half. He was healthier at that point. The other

769
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 6: good news is that even though he hadn't signed on

770
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 6: the dotted line, Aaron Rodgers had been in contact with

771
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 6: Mike Tomlin all along, had been throwing with DK Metcalf

772
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 6: all along. Now he gets to dig into the playbook

773
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 6: and he can get to official practices at training camp.

774
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 6: But everybody should relax about his late arrival. The other

775
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,240
Speaker 6: thing you don't have to worry about is in Houston,

776
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 6: c J. Stroud did not throw for much of the

777
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 6: off season. They said general soreness. He did throw a

778
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 6: little bit though in Mini caamp, and that was really

779
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 6: good news. He did not have a documented shoulder injury

780
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 6: last season, but Demiko Ryans, when he was asked about it,

781
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 6: would not answer the question of well, is it possible

782
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 6: that he needs surgery? And that's sent up all of

783
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 6: these red flags wasn't necessary.

784
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 2: He was fine.

785
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 6: He did throw in mini camp as I said a

786
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,720
Speaker 6: little bit. He said he's fine. He sort of laughed

787
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 6: and said, you guys don't have enough things to report on.

788
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 6: That's why this blew up as a story. He might

789
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 6: be right, good media analysis by C. J. Strout, He

790
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 6: does not. He says, we don't need to worry about it.

791
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 7: I believe him.

792
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 6: Don't worry about it.

793
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 5: As our friend Andrew Marshawn says, everyone wants to cover

794
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 5: sports media, including Demiko Ryans. Okay, so now I know

795
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 5: what not to overreact to. Why don't you coach mail

796
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 5: a little bit and tell me what needs more attention.

797
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,879
Speaker 6: I don't really know how much more attention we can

798
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 6: give this topic, but all of the past rushers who

799
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 6: are waiting for contracts deserve the attention that we are

800
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 6: giving it and that we are going to continue to

801
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 6: give it for the rest of the summer until they

802
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 6: get done. Certainly, the Micah Parsons contract is the headliner here.

803
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 2: We're all waiting.

804
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 6: We know that historically the Dallas Cowboys are quite comfortable

805
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 6: letting these contract situations go all the way to the

806
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 6: last minute. Just think about Pak Prescott last year as

807
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 6: we were getting ready for kickoff in Week one. So

808
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 6: we will see what happens with Michael Parsons, but of

809
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 6: course there are others TJ.

810
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 2: Watt.

811
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 6: They sound pretty confident in Pittsburgh that that one is

812
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 6: going to get done. And then we were just talking

813
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 6: to Orlando Brown about the situation in Cincinnati with both

814
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 6: Trey Hendrickson and the rookie Schmore Stewart. Very unusual situation, especially.

815
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 2: With the rookie.

816
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 6: He was there and then he left mandatory mini camp

817
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 6: without a contract. Trey Hendrickson has said he will not

818
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 6: play on his current contract. They've got a lot to

819
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 6: clean up in Cincinnati in the next few weeks.

820
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 5: Great stuff as always, Judy NFL dot Com slash Batista

821
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 5: for more mental coaching by our good friend Beauty.

822
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: The new look Jets held their mandatory mini camp last week,

823
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: a lot of new faces. Nick Schuk with the NFL

824
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: dot Com has the Jets among his most improved teams

825
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 1: heading into twenty twenty five. To welcome you back to

826
00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: the insiders, Tom Pilisero and Brian Baldier. Baldy will set

827
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: aside Nick Shook's rankings for a second hear you tell me,

828
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: who do you think are some of the most improved

829
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 1: teams heading into the season.

830
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:10,800
Speaker 8: Well, I read the charticle. I mean, I do agree

831
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 8: that Chicago Bears are going to be better. It's one

832
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 8: of Nick's teams that you know. I mean, Caleb Williams

833
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 8: was sacked sixty eight times last year. Just cut that

834
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 8: in half right now to improved offense line and Ben

835
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 8: Johnson coaching. But I was in Tampa a couple weeks ago,

836
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 8: Tom maybe two weeks ago for OTAs. I was around

837
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 8: that team. I mean, they won ten games last year,

838
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 8: won the division for the fourth year in a row.

839
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 8: They're gonna be projected to win it again. But I

840
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 8: think they're gonna be even better this year. I mean,

841
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:40,760
Speaker 8: I think they've improved the secondary with the incoming Benjamin Morrison,

842
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 8: Jacob Parris and the secondary. I think Emica Buka is

843
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 8: really going to help in the passing game to go

844
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 8: with the Jaalen Villin, Mike Evans, while Chris Godwin men's

845
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 8: I think, and they returned the whole five offensive line.

846
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 7: I mean, I think Camp is gonna be improved, but

847
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 7: I also.

848
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 8: Think Arizona is gonna be greatly Remember now, Arizona won

849
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 8: eight games last year, all right, they were eight and

850
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 8: nine to finish the season. But defensively, I don't know

851
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:12,800
Speaker 8: that anybody has addressed the defensive line outside linebacker position

852
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 8: like they have, including you know, bring in Kalayas Campbell,

853
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:21,240
Speaker 8: drafting Walter Nolan junior. You know, they just got Dalvin

854
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 8: Thomlinson a defensive tackle right now, Baron Browning from Denver,

855
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 8: Darius Robinson comes back healthy in his second year, last

856
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 8: year's number one draft pick. I think so much better

857
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 8: upfront than you add Will Johnson to the secondary right

858
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 8: now to go with what they have, you know, I

859
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 8: just think that this is going to be a vastly

860
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 8: improved team and a very competitive envision. I don't know

861
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 8: how many wins Arizona's gonna have, but I know defensively

862
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 8: they're going to be a lot better and will effect

863
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 8: the quarterbacks a lot better than they did a year ago.

864
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: Also notable that was such a young coaching staff when

865
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,760
Speaker 1: they got hired a couple of years ago Baldi Cardinals

866
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 1: and this season, I believe the only team with their

867
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: offensive and defensive coordinators intact for three consecutive years. Balie

868
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 1: will see you again soon. You know what you don't

869

00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: all those great NFL mascots and also a big day

879
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: for big news in the big furry soup world. Dan Mears,

880
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: the franchise's original kse Wolf, has announced his retirement after

881
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 1: thirty five years as the team's director of Shenanigan's. The search,

882
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: according to the chiefs, for the next case Wolf, is underway,

883
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: with top candidates having already completed interviews with the club.

884
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: Shut it aside because we don't have time on figuring

885
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 1: out how one becomes a top candidate to put on

886
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: a wolf costume and thrust their hips on Sundays. Judy,

887
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: I'm curious if you were doing the hiring here what

888
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,760
Speaker 1: to you matters most in a good mascot.

889
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 6: I gotta be honest. With all due respect to the

890
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 6: NFL mascots, I prefer the college teams that bring live

891
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,399
Speaker 6: animals onto the sideline as their mascots. Remember the year

892
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 6: that the Longhorn went after the bulldog at the National

893
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 6: Championship Game.

894
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 7: Yes, I love those mascots.

895
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

896
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 5: So when I covered Alabama for the Vernian News, there

897
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 5: was always a rumor that there would be a live

898
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 5: elephant in Bryan Denny Stadium. It would go around the

899
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 5: message board, it would pick up steam and someone have

900
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 5: to say this is fake.

901
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 2: One day it'll be.

902
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 5: Real and there'll be an elephant on the field at Alabama.

903
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 5: God willing Tom.

904
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: He just has always looked like a dranged Chuck e Cheese.

905
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: Dan Meuhir is doing great work there here. I just

906
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: like the mascots can celebrate in ways that if players did,

907
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 1: it would yield a flag pulsin tomorrow souven Eastern later
