1
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday, everybody, and welcome to the Insiders. I am

2
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: Steve White's here at our Inglewood, California newsroom, and in

3
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: just a few minutes A're gonna be joined by NFL

4
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: Media's Bucky Brooks and Nick Shook. But later in the show,

5
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: Colorado head football coach Dion Sanders and his son, his quarterback,

6
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: Shador Sanders, they're gonna sit down for a little chat

7
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: as well Jaguars head coach Doug Peterson. Plus we're gonna

8
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: be talking AFC North storylines a little bit later. But first,

9
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who signed a four year,

10
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty million dollar contract this offseason, said

11
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: on The Rich Eisen Show that he understands why quarterback

12
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins left Minnesota for Atlanta, but thinks the Vikings

13
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: will remain competitive with Sam Darnold or JJ McCarthy at

14
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: the helm.

15
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: I feel like he just wanted a new start, the

16
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 2: new opt trinity to you know, start with Atlanta and

17
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 2: uh a clean slate. And I'm not mad at him

18
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 2: at all of that. I'm grateful for what he has

19
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: brought to me. And you know the things that we

20
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 2: have accomplished together. But you know, at the end of

21
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 2: the day, it's a business, and you know, you gotta

22
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: do what you gotta do for yourself and for your family.

23
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 2: And uh, I clearly understand that. Uh, but you know,

24
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 2: it's it's it's on to the next. It doesn't matter

25
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: if it wis Kirk or if it's Sam, or if

26
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 2: it's JJ. You know I'm going to make them, you know,

27
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: make him make it as easy as possible for right.

28
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: Now, joined my former NFL player, NFL scout and current

29
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: NFL media analyst Bucky Brooks and Buck, you heard JJ

30
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: right there, you know, talk about they're gonna make the

31
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: new whoever's the quarterback better? But how can JJ and

32
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: Jordan Addison, Addison and some of those other players help

33
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: whether it's JJ McCarthy or Sham Darnold succeed.

34
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 3: So, Steve, if you've listened to the Move the Six podcast,

35
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: you've heard his break quarterbacks down into trucks or trailers,

36
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 3: meaning a truck is one that carries the rest of

37
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 3: the team. A trailer is one that the rest of

38
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: the team carries the quarterback. Well, in Minnesota, they may

39
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 3: have the best supporting.

40
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 4: Cast in football.

41
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 3: When it comes to being able to elevate the.

42
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 4: Play of a quarterback.

43
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 3: So a trailer and Sam Donald or JJ McCarthy should

44
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 3: be fine because Justin Jefferson, George Addison, Aaron Jones, they're

45
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: all going to be able to make plays regardless of

46
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 3: who is distributing the ball. The thing that Kevin O'Connell does,

47
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 3: because he also plays a part in that, is he's

48
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: a great play designer. He's going to make sure that

49
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 3: the game is easy for the quarterback quarterback for Riendley's

50
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 3: system that puts the ball in the hands of the

51
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 3: playmakers and optimal situations. To me, it really doesn't matter

52
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 3: who is the quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. This offense

53
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 3: is going to score points. We saw it last year

54
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 3: with Nick Mullins and Josh Dobbs. They're going to be

55
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 3: an effective offense because the weapons on the perimeter and

56
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 3: the play caller that is making sure the life is

57
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 3: easy for the quarterback.

58
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, some people say that's going on with the forty

59
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: nine ers, with how that supporting cast helps along Rock Purty.

60
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: So really good stuff right there. But Bucky, let's take

61
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: a look at the Vikings schedule. When it comes to

62
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: maybe deciding on when to make a quarterback change. If

63
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: they do. To JJ McCarthy, that, my friend, is a

64
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: brutal first half of the schedule. When you're looking at

65
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers Texans Packers, just look at weeks

66
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: two through nine. That Week five game in London versus

67
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: the Jets. So bucky when it comes to deciding who

68
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: their quarterback is going to be. And everything we've heard

69
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: on in Minnesota, Sam Darnold, the veteran, is the leader

70
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: of the pack, but they drafted JJ McCarthy to one

71
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: day be their guy. How should Kevin O'Connell the Vikings

72
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: go about making that type of decision.

73
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: So what the Minnesota Vikings did was really smart. They

74
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 3: backstopped the quarterback position, meaning they had a veteran quarterback

75
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: in place who has enough experience to be the starter.

76
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 4: You have a young, inexperienced quarterback.

77
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: Remember J McCarthy only hit twenty eight career starts at Michigan.

78
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: In a perfect world, you will let Sam Donald do

79
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 3: a lot of the heavy lifting early in the season,

80
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 3: and then when JJ McCarthy shows you're on the practice

81
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 3: field that he's ready to take over, you give him

82
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 3: that opportunity. But really, I believe this is Sam Donald's

83
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 3: job to lose. I believe there are a lot of

84
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 3: people in Minnesota that believe he is a guy who

85
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 3: hasn't really been around a talented supporting cast. This would

86
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 3: give him an opportunity to really show the talents that

87
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 3: made him a top pick years ago.

88
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 4: Kevin O'Connor's going.

89
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 3: To do everything in his power to really elevate Sam Donald.

90
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 3: This is Sam Donald's final chance to really carve out

91
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 3: a nice career.

92
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 4: Look for him to take advantage of that.

93
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 5: And then maybe after a year, maybe like Baker Mayfield did,

94
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 5: maybe he has a great year, goals that Parlay's it

95
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 5: somewhere else, and then JJ McCarthy becomes a quarterback in

96
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 5: the middle of the season or maybe at the end

97
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 5: of the season, going into next year, he's a QB

98
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 5: one for the Minnesota Viking.

99
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: Well, see, this is what training campus for Bucky, because

100
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: who knows, Maybe JJ McCarthy gets the guys around him

101
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: to play better. Maybe he's that truck instead of the

102
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: trailer that you were talking about earlier. Well, speaking of

103
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, Bucky, he was in la last night for

104
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 1: the premiere of the New series Receiver, which documents his

105
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three season along with Deebo Samuel, Devonte Adams,

106
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: George Kittle, and aman Ros Saint Brown. You see all

107
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: of them there, besides besides Deebo Samuel, you can now

108
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: stream that show on Netflix. It is out there for

109
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: the full season and new today. The Scottsdale Police Department

110
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: released a following statement regarding former Panthers VP of Player

111
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: Personnel and former Arizona Cardinals defensive back Adrian Wilson. On

112
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: June first, just after oh six hundred hours, Wilson was

113
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: arrested at his home for domestic violence related charges of assault,

114
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: criminal damage, and disorderly conduct. All charges were misdemeanors. So

115
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: that statement adds context to a previous statement released over

116
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: the weekend by the Panthers Ownership Group and Entertainment, which

117
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: says Adrian Wilson will not continue in its position as

118
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: Vice President of Player of Personnel for the Carolina Panthers.

119
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: Consistent with our organizational policy on employee matters, we will

120
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: have no further comment.

121
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 6: Now.

122
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: Today in Kansas City, you're looking at the Chiefs Equipment

123
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: staff loading up a truck with equipment bound for training

124
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: camp at Missouri Western State and Saint Joseph, Missouri. The

125
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs open their back to back title defense with rookies

126
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: reporting in just six days. Veterans report on July twentieth.

127
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: So Bucky, let's bring back, let's bring you back in here,

128
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: and let's talk a little bit about the Chiefs and

129
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: their title defense and give us three storylines you think

130
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: are going to be at least two or three storylines

131
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: I should say that you think are going to be

132
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: hugely important to them getting back to another championship.

133
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 3: Well, all the attention is going to be on the

134
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 3: offense and Pat Mahomes because everyone wants to know who

135
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 3: is going to be the number.

136
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 4: One receiver in this fasting game.

137
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 3: And when I mean receiver, I'm talking about who's gonna

138
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 3: be the number one pass catcher. Yes, Travis Kelce comes back,

139
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 3: but Travis Kelsey is in the twilight of his career.

140
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 3: And then there's a lot of uncertainty on the other

141
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 3: weapons on the perimeter. You don't know what's gonna happen

142
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 3: with Rashid Rice once the league determines the suspension or not.

143
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 4: Then you have Hollywood Brown coming over.

144
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 3: But he has always dealt with a lot of injuries,

145
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 3: So there's a lot of uncertainty when it comes to

146
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 3: that receiver corps. Who is going to emerge as a

147
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 3: guy that Pat Mahomes can depend on. The last two years,

148
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 3: they've been able to do it with the hodspots of

149
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 3: playmakers getting it done.

150
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 4: Can they do it again? That's to be another question

151
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 4: in Kenni City.

152
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: Well, Bucky, we also just have some highlights there of

153
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: Xavior Worthy, the rookie out of Texas, the four to

154
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: two speed burner watching him right here. But let's also

155
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: flip it to the other side of the ball. I mean,

156
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: they just they traded away to Lugerius Sneed on the

157
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: defensive side. We know he was the lockdown corner. Remember

158
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: all the images of him shoving Tyreek Hill down into

159
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: the ground. What about that being something that could be

160
00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: a potential concern.

161
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is going to be a potential concern. The

162
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 4: Jerry Snead.

163
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 3: You're talking about a Pro Bowl caliber, high end cornerback,

164
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 3: one of the lockdown specialists in this league, who did

165
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 3: it in a very physical fashion. The thing about the

166
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 3: Kansas City Chiefs is they've been forward thinking when it

167
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 3: comes to building up their defense. The last couple of

168
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 3: years they have drafted defensive backs and put them on

169
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 3: the field. So even though the Jerry Sneid is a

170
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 3: huge loss, they have young guys ready to replace him.

171
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 3: You're talking about our Joshua Williams who has come in,

172
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 3: who has played a key role. You had Trent McDuffie,

173
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 3: who was an All Pro caliber player who plays on

174
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 3: the inside, but maybe he bounced on the outside. I'm

175
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 3: not as worried about their defense because what we do know,

176
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 3: Chris Jones and the guys up front are going to

177
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 3: rush the passer. They're going to get after Hi because

178
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 3: Steve Spagnulo is going to bring the heat that is

179
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 3: going to make life easy for the cornerbacks. I'm more

180
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 3: worried about their offense than defense. But even in saying that,

181
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 3: as long as you have number fifteen, you have a chance,

182
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 3: the Cancaity Chiefs are well positioned to maybe make a

183
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 3: three feet in this National Football League in a postseason.

184
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: Run quickly, Bucky, just from your experience as a scout,

185
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: as a player, and just evaluating film. Now, Trent McDuffie

186
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: again one of the better slot corners in the NFL,

187
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 1: moving outside for him with his skill set, would it

188
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: be an easy transition?

189
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 4: Well, look, man, he's really talented.

190
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 3: He's a high IQ player, great technique, tremendous fundamentals when

191
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 3: it comes to playing the position, and even though he's

192
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 3: been a start on the inside, he certainly can go outside.

193
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 3: The thing that you have to weigh if you're Steve

194
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 3: Spegnudo in the staff, do we weaken the defense by

195
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 3: moving him outside and taking away a key piece to

196
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 3: the defensive.

197
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 4: Puzzle over the middle of the field.

198
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 3: McDuffie's been so good, I would rather try another young

199
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 3: player on the outside see if they can hold up,

200
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 3: so we don't kind of ruin the chemistry and continuity

201
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 3: of the defense by moving Trent McDuffie from inside to outside.

202
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: So Buck, you know, since we're talking about cornerbacks, who's

203
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: one of the best cornerbacks of all time? Pro Football

204
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 1: Hall of.

205
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:54,400

Speaker 9: and Brett I mean he's doing a phenomenal job. The

231
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 9: coaches have opened their arms and their hearts to me

232
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 9: to welcome me and they've been so they've been so wonderful, man.

Speaker 9: They text me and call me if you need anything,

00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 9: love that aspect of it. But I can't wait to play.

237
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 9: I can't wait to start getting it on. We've been

238
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 9: working out, but of all summer, man, I think we

239
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 9: have another week and a half of workouts in It's time.

240
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 9: They're gonna have a break, then they come back at

241
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 9: the end of the month to start gearing it up

242
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 9: for real.

243
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 3: You know, coaches, I'm gonna ask you something that you've

244
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 3: never had to do, but I'm gonna give you an

245
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 3: opportunity with your coaching had if your door centers was

246
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 3: on another team and you had to look at the tape,

247
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 3: what would scare you the most about facing your son

248
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:00,359
Speaker 3: at quarterback.

249
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 9: Giving him time. I can't give him, sad. If I

250
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 9: give him time, I know what the result is gonna be.

251
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 9: If I give him time in the pocket, he's gonna

252
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 9: he gonna rip me up a little bit. And I

253
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 9: can't show my hand because you know, like I tell

254
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 9: him my corner. Sometimes guys quit showing him parallel feet,

255
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 9: parallel feet. He knows cover too, like, don't do that,

256
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 9: He'll check off on her practice. He's he's gonna do that.

257
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 9: And he sees the field really well. But one of

258
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 9: the main things that he does really well, and I

259
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 9: can say they're sitting right behind. He's a relational man.

260
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 9: I mean he's a relational person where he forged relationships.

261
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 9: Not only would his lineman because they love him the life.

262
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 9: He don't go anywhere with that them, but the running backs,

263
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 9: the receivers, I mean, the specialists, everyone on there. They

264
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 9: want to play for him, they want to go fight

265
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 9: for him, they want to ride with him.

266
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: So hearing something like that from your father, and I'm

267
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: sure a lot of other coaches look at the film

268
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,359
Speaker 1: the same way. But also living up to the expectation

269
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: that a lot of people have placed on you entering

270
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: the season. How do you feel about that?

271
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 8: Well, he ain't lying about anything he said. He ain't lying.

272
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 10: No, I mean the expectation and that it always been

273
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 10: there since day one. Uh, even in high school, even

274
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 10: in the league, we're always everybody's super Bowl. So uh,

275
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 10: really just inheriting the mindset from him, and when when

276
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 10: when he was playing in his days and him building

277
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 10: us up all the way from six years or old

278
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 10: running snakes all the way at the Prosper House, which

279
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 10: some time he probably forgot.

280
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 8: But I'm just thinking now, if I running his snake does.

281
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 6: An across the field up five yard, that's what he means,

282
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 6: not not with real snakes running.

283
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 10: I see that that right there, That that that makes

284
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 10: a grown man at you at a young age.

285
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 8: So now I.

286
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 10: Feel like he I kind of let him be kind

287
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 10: of cruise control now and I got to let me.

288
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 8: Ah, he gotta you build me up to this point

289
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 8: to be able to take over. So that's what it

290
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 8: is true that.

291
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 4: Coach.

292
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 3: One of the things that you do is you certainly

293
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 3: breathe a lot of confidence in all your players. But

294
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 3: another player that you've really been talking about has been

295
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 3: Travis Hunter.

296
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 4: You're one of the.

297
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 3: Last two way players, maybe the last two way player

298
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 3: in the NFL, and so Travis is doing it at

299
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 3: the collegiate level.

300
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 4: When you watch him. What makes Travis Hunts so.

301
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 6: Special Travis loves the game of football. Number one.

302
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 9: Secondly, travis athleticism is off the charts, and he's a

303
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 9: ball getter. Like when the ball's in the air. Offensively, defensively,

304
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 9: he's going to make the play. There's no fifty fifty

305
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 9: ball with Travis. When the ball was up there seventy thirty,

306
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 9: eighty twenty, he's going to go get the ball. Knows

307
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 9: that if he's one on one, just throw it up there.

308
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 9: He's gonna make a player get the pi at one

309
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 9: or the other. And the kid loves the game. Now

310
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 9: we challenge him to study his butt off so he's

311
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 9: prepared not only physically but mentally for the challenges week

312
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 9: to week.

313
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 6: But the worst thing to do is to take him

314
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 6: off the field. You want to keep him on the field.

315
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 9: And I get a kick out of all these uh

316
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 9: you know, I'm your quarterbacks and players telling me how

317
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 9: I should play him, how he shouldn't play at, how

318
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 9: many reps he should get during the game. They don't

319
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 9: understand he's gonna be more of a problem to you

320
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 9: on the sideline than on the field.

321
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 11: So let me put Let.

322
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: Me put it through this way, because earlier your dad

323
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: said at media days today he's the best, that Travis

324
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: Hunter is the best wide receiver and the best quarterback

325
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: in college football. So let me ask you this shouter,

326
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: would you prefer throwing the ball to him or challenging

327
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: him in practice when he's guarding some of those other

328
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: standout wide receivers you guys have.

329
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 8: I mean, well, of course throwing it to him.

330
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 10: But you get the best of both worlds though you

331
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 10: get Monday, Tuesday, he get to be on your team.

332
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 10: Then Wednesday Thursday he's on the opposite side of the ball.

333
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 8: So it's definitely competitive.

334
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 10: You know you're gonna be on your game a little

335
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 10: bit more when he's out there. So it gives a

336
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 10: receiver as a chance to challenge him and him challenge

337
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 10: the receivers. But you're not gonna go against a better

338
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 10: corner than Travis.

339
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: Okay. So on that note, we saw today the the

340
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: EA Sports College Football game rankings came out. Travis Hunters

341

Speaker 1: college football in the game, and you're tied for at

343
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,560

Speaker 9: Like do you do? You hate so bad that you

351
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 9: gotta give him a tax. Ain't no TAZ in football, like,

00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 6: I call? I call you?

358
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 12: That's what I can't call.

359
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know ta, Yeah, give him off this team

360
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 9: to take a little bit TVC.

361
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 6: What the record is?

362
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 4: I love it a prime.

363
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 3: I got to ask you this because you made some

364
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 3: changes on your coaching staff, and your coaching staff is

365
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 3: real heavy with NFL expertise and experience. What made you

366
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 3: go the pro route as opposed to adding more college

367
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 3: coaches around your project.

368
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 9: That's a great question, man, brother, and I appreciate you

369
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 9: asking me that I'm a pro. Man Like through thinking

370
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 9: the thing, I'm a pro, and I think at another level,

371
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 9: we have some tremendous college coaches on our staff, but

372
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 9: when it comes to the coordinating and it comes to

373
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 9: the majority of the staff, I want to be around

374
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,959
Speaker 9: guys that have been there, guys that have done that,

375
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 9: because our lights are bright, man, and.

376
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 6: I can't have you.

377
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 9: You know, you guys getting big, You're getting a little sensitive,

378
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 9: you're getting a little salty, getting a little fraid when.

379
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 6: Things light up over there on that sideline.

380
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 9: So I like pros because we've been there, we've done that,

381
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 9: and we understand one another. But that's not taking nothing

382
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 9: against our collegiate coaches that we have on staff. But

383
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 9: I think right now, especially with the daily simmers, we

384
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 9: have over one hundred and forty some years of pro

385
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 9: experience on the sidelines, and that's relatable to where these

386
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 9: young men want to go.

387
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 6: It's hard to take somebody but you've never been well.

388
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 1: Again, you our guy Warren sappis on your staff too.

389
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 1: We know he's doing a good job of shoot out.

390
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: You know one thing that you know I want to

391
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: ask you because we know one of the great metrics

392
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: when we talk about the best quarterbacks in the country

393
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 1: at any level is touchdown the interception ratio last year

394
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: twenty seven tds just to three interceptions. In your three

395
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: year collegiate career, ninety seven touchdown passes.

396
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 10: And don't forget you missed a game and a half

397
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 10: last year too, well, you missed the game.

398
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: That part too, Okay, you're reminded us. But in your

399
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: college career, I mean, ninety seven touchdowns are seventeen nine

400
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: and tis why do you see the field so well?

401
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: And why do you think your decision making is so

402
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:51,719
Speaker 1: precise that you avoid the mistakes that hurt your team?

403
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 10: I would say, I would say from a young age,

404
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,959
Speaker 10: an understanding dad put me on offense and defense to understand,

405
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 10: you know, coverages and things like that. So I feel

406
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 10: like those are small stepping stones from each year. Each

407
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 10: year you get improvement in different areas and you're able

408
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 10: to get a lot of different pictures. I played a

409
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 10: lot of football, starting from freshman year of high school

410
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 10: all the way to now, So it's just a lot

411
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 10: of games, a lot of experience, a lot of different situations.

412
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 10: Knows the pros, knows the cons and learned from certain

413
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 10: situations that you have so you don't make the same mistakes.

414
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 6: And I like that. Let me add to that.

415
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 9: You got to really understand what he just said, He's

416
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 9: played a lot of football. How many quarterbacks you know

417
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 9: have started every game in their high school career, every

418
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 9: game in youth, every game in college except for game

419
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 9: and a half where he was injured. Last season. He

420
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 9: started every game. So that's a lot of playing. That's

421
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 9: a lot of leverages, that's a lot of understanding situational football.

422
00:19:58,440 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 6: That's a lot of understanding talent.

423
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 9: I got to put the ball on his back shoulder,

424
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 9: or I could lead him down in the field because

425
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 9: he could make that grab fifty fifty ball. Like, that's

426
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 9: a lot of understanding of football. And the first thing

427
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 9: I told him, like he said, I taught him defenses.

428
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 9: I taught him defense. You don't teach a quarterback routes.

429
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 9: You're teaching defenses, you know.

430
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 4: Prime.

431
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 3: I want to ask you this because I know it

432
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 3: your hard to far as you're an old school coach.

433
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 3: But everyone talks about today's generation of player having played

434
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 3: yesteryear for dealing with a new kind of player. What

435
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 3: are the challenges of coaching today's athlete compared to when

436
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 3: you were playing?

437
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 9: Nil collected. I want guys that want to play in

438
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 9: the NFL. I don't want guys who are all about

439
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,479
Speaker 9: the nil. I want you to get paid. I may

440
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 9: help you get paid. I'm gonna trust that I may

441
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 9: help you get that bag.

442
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: And he knows that.

443
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 9: But your focus gotta be being great because when you're great.

444
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 9: That bag is gonna chase you, and you don't have

445
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 9: to chase it. So he knows that I'm out shoot

446
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 9: the old team knows. If you want to make me mad,

447
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 9: start talking about some money as I talking about getting

448
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 9: paid to getting broken off, Start talking like that, Yeah,

449
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:02,800

Speaker 1: Thank you so much, man, Really do appreciate you.

Speaker 1: Division in football. All these new quarterbacks, we're gonna be

480
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: hitting the field again.

481
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 11: We're gonna see.

482
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about that next.

483
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 11: On the inside.

484
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: This is a gary competi division.

485
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 3: Yeah wa, this froke gid.

486
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 9: Jack Conning for the NA scramble off from end of

487
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 9: the field and slapsas hell about what cap from the.

488
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: Files Garrity single handedly take you over the game.

489
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 4: Throw that AFC North.

490
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: If there's some turmoil, it's delightful turmoil.

491
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 13: Am I gonna.

492
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: There is AFC North IM Steve Whites and on Engwood,

493
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: California newsroom, and that is Nick Schuchar around the NFL

494
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: writer and we're going to talk about some camp storylines

495
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: and for all of our training camp storylines. Go to

496
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: NFL dot com Slash Countdown and Nick we talked about

497
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: the AFC North right here. Let's start with the with

498
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: the division chap the Baltimore Ravens.

499
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, Steve, the story about the Ravens this year,

500
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 14: coming off of an AFC North title, coming in with

501
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 14: Todd Monk and up and up the offense last year.

502
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 14: Year two, it's all about elevating it, bringing it to

503
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 14: the next level, because look, Lamar Jackson won his second

504
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 14: MVP last season under Monkin's direction, but he also let

505
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 14: the team in rushing with over eight hundred yards.

506
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: He threw for thirty six hundred yards.

507
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 14: Everything's great there, but then when it came to the playoffs,

508
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 14: the NFC title game, suddenly the play calling became a

509
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 14: little questionable. The league's top rushing offense only ran the

510
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 14: ball eight times with running backs in that game.

511
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 11: Lamar had eight himself.

512
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 14: So now you go into twenty twenty four and you

513
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 14: got to take the next step with the off year two.

514
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 14: If last year was Monk in one oh one, this

515
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 14: year is Monk in two oh one. John Harbaugh has

516
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 14: talked about giving Lamar Jackson more agency at the line

517
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 14: in pre snap getting more creative, and Monkin can't wait

518
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 14: to see more out of Rashad Bateman. So I'm expecting

519
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 14: them to take the next step because that might be

520
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 14: what gets them over the hump.

521
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: Well, Derek Henry might be what gets them over the

522
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 1: hump as well, getting the big running back from Tennessee.

523
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 11: All right, Joe Burrow.

524
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: Comes back at quarterback off of injury for the Bengals.

525
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 1: What should we be looking for out of them?

526
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,479
Speaker 14: Well, hopefully Burrow is completely healthy. Everything points to him

527
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 14: being healthy, and we know what happened to them last

528
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 14: year when he wasn't healthy. He was statuesque in the

529
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 14: pocket for the first month, and when he was suddenly better,

530
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 14: they were taking off, and then it all fell apart

531
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 14: when he again was knocked out for the rest of

532
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 14: the season with at wrist injuries.

533
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 8: So now he should be good.

534
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 14: But they don't have Joe Mixon on that roster anymore,

535
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 14: and folks might look at that and think, well, they'll

536
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 14: be fine.

537
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: They got Joe Burrow.

538
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 14: Joe Mixon accounted for fourteen hundred scrimmag yards last year,

539
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 14: and yet before they were about to release them, all

540
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 14: they did was traded to Houston for a seventh round pick.

541
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 14: So I'm curious to see, can Chris Evans, can Zach

542
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 14: Moss the new acquisition, can Chain Brown and Travon Williams

543
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 14: effectively replaced that production that Joe Mixon provided. Or are

544
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 14: we looking at a hidden weakness for the Cincinnati Bengals

545
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 14: that maybe we're not paying attention to you right now

546
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 14: because we can't stop looking at Joe Burrow's immaculate hair

547
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 14: and fantastic fashion. That's what I'm really curious to see,

548
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 14: because otherwise that roster is still very strong.

549
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: You know, you have a spot code with an open

550
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: heart in the back like Joey b wore over in

551
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: con France. All right, Now, the Pittsburgh Steelers Mike Tomlin,

552
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: he gets the extension after having another winning season, but

553
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: they've got something going on at quarterback there. They don't

554
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: really have one because they've got two.

555
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 14: Yeah, And some people say, if you don't have one

556
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 14: and you have too, you have nobody. But I think

557
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 14: that's not necessarily the case with the Steelers, because, oh,

558
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 14: Mark Han did a fantastic job this offseason.

559
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 11: He remade that room. So almost overnight he signs Russell Wilson.

560
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 14: He trades away Kenny Pickett, he acquires Justin Fields, and

561
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 14: suddenly the Steelers are no longer relying on a youngster

562
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 14: who hasn't quite proven it yet, even if he was

563
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 14: a local product. But we're not going to talk about

564
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 14: quarterback that much. That'll sort itself out. I would look

565
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 14: at the rest of the roster. Omar Khan drafted phenomenally.

566
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 14: Troy Fatanu gives you a tackle, Zach Fraser gives you

567
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 14: a starting center, and Roman Wilson is my sneaky favorite

568
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 14: pick from this class. I think he's going to fit

569
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 14: perfectly in that receiving court. Defensively, Peyton Wilson, watch out

570
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 14: for him as a blitzing missile, especially on third down.

571
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 14: That three year extension came at the perfect time because

572
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 14: Mike Tomlin has the best roster he's had to win

573
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 14: since they finished twelve and four in twenty twenty. So

574
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 14: while we might pay attention to the Ravens and the

575
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 14: Bengals with Burrow back and Deshaun Watson and the Browns,

576
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 14: watch out for the Pittsburgh Steelers in twenty twenty four.

577
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 12: Folks.

578
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, very interesting when you mentioned DeShawn Watson

579
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: and the Cleveland Browns. This is a playoff team and

580
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson is back from that shoulder injury or is.

581
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 14: He Yeah, we're not so certain about that because it

582
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 14: was a bit of a strange injury. But the Browns

583
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 14: have kind of prepared accordingly by making a change at

584
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 14: offensive coordinator. Kevin Stefanski has called the place since twenty twenty.

585
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 14: I don't expect that to change. But incomes Ken Dorsey,

586
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 14: who's going to bring with him new ideas to potentially

587
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 14: elevate this offense. He did so with Josh Allen. The

588
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 14: Bill succeeded, but I felt like they relied on Josh

589
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 14: Allen a little bit too much of the run game,

590
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 14: and that concerns me about Nick Chubb's place in this offense.

591
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 14: We also need to know if Nick Chubb's gonna win,

592
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 14: he's gonna come back, because he's still returning from that

593
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 14: significant knee injury. So overall, the first goal is to

594
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 14: figure out what you have in Deshaun Watson, and Dorsey

595
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 14: seems to be the guy to bring ideas in and

596
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 14: open up the mind of Kevin Stefanski Moore to maybe

597
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 14: take advantage of what Deshaun Watson brings, but I think

598
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 14: his impact is going to stretch beyond that.

599
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: That'd be very interesting because all of those teams, any

600
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: one of them, can win the super tough AFC North.

601
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: Once again, Nick schul can read nfl dot com slash

602
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 1: Camp Countdown for all type of camp stories. Thanks so much, Nick. Well,

603
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars, they got off to the hot start

604
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: last season, but then they faded down the stretch. We're

605
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: gonna be joined by their head coach Doug Peterson after

606
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: the break. He's gonna tell us what they're doing to

607
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: make sure s that's a tail spin doesn't happen again.

608
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 11: That's on the inside, I'm telling you. I'm telling you

609
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 11: that's the straight You strengthen numbers.

610
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: Man strengthen numbers. Right when someone is not.

611
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 11: Feeling their best, somebody else rallies and the team rallies

612
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 11: around them. That's what you did today, and that's what

613
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:19,239
Speaker 11: you did all right.

614
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 4: My hat is off to you guys.

615
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:21,119

00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 15: I tell you what, Thanks for having me on. And

626
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 15: you're absolutely right. This is a tough golf course, tough greens.

627
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 15: The scene bey here is beautiful. It's a great place

628
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 15: to bring the family. Right before training camp.

629
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: Hey, coach, I want to get you started by asking

630
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: you this. I mean, just you guys locked up your

631
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: quarterback Trevor Lawrence long term. I mean, what was the

632
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: decision behind that? And what do you see him doing

633
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: this year to continue in ascension to being that franchise

634
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: changing quarterback.

635
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 12: Yeah, well, the decision was easy.

636
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 15: You know, we all feel in the building that he's

637
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 15: our guy, and he's obviously the face of the franchise,

638
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 15: and he was drafted a few years ago, you know,

639
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 15: the first round pick to be that guy, and we

640
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 15: have all the confidence in the world and we're just

641
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,479
Speaker 15: excited and thrilled for he and his family to get

642
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 15: this contract behind him. As we head into this season

643
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 15: into twenty four and just continue to build on the

644
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 15: last two years. It wasn't a perfect finish, but you

645
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,959
Speaker 15: know to the last season there were we had some injuries.

646
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 15: Trevor's one of those guys that we got to continue

647
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 15: to keep healthy. But he's on the right path and

648
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 15: we continue to work. We build the pieces around him,

649
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 15: get our run game going a little bit, play good defense,

650
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 15: and see what happens.

651
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 3: You know, Coach, look, you talked about back to back

652
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 3: winning seasons, but didn't have the finish that you wanted

653
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 3: to last season. How do you take those lessons and

654
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 3: help the team become a much better version of itself

655
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four.

656
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 15: I think, Bucky, you and I have had conversations after

657
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 15: games last year about it, and I think for myself,

658
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 15: it's gonna burn.

659
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 12: It's gonna burn for.

660
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 15: A long time until you know, we get to meaningful

661
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 15: games again and start playing in September. But I think

662
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 15: that's the same fuel, you know, the motivating factor for

663
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 15: our for our players that the way we ended.

664
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 6: Is not us.

665
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 15: And no matter what you go through as a football team,

666
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 15: you know, everybody goes through adversity. There's always going to

667
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 15: be injuries, but you can't make excuses and you got

668
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 15: to go play football, and so so for us, we

669
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 15: got to learn from that, roll up our sleeves in

670
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,479
Speaker 15: a training camp, work hard, and just play it one

671
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 15: game at a time.

672
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: Doug, when you talked about doing some things to make

673
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: things better, to grow from that, you've really adjusted your

674
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: wide receiver room, adding guys that gave Davis, Devin Duvarney,

675
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: drafting Brian Thomas out of LSU in the first round.

676
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: How do you think those new faces, those different skill

677
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: sets can help increase or improve that passing game.

678
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 15: Well, I think that's what you know, what we saw

679
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 15: in Gabe Davis, you know in Buffalo, what he did,

680
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 15: how he could kind of stretch the field.

681
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 12: He was a big, big, tall receiver that could go

682
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 12: over the middle.

683
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 15: He's physical, can block and and I would say that

684
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 15: that's a piece that we missed a little bit last year.

685
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 15: You know, Zay was beat up a little bit. We

686
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 15: missed Christian. At the end of the season, we get

687
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 15: we get Christian back healthy.

688
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 12: We lost Calvin.

689
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 15: Ridley, but but now we get we get Gabe and Brian,

690
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 15: and Brian's got the speed element that that you know

691
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 15: we probably lost with Calvin and and so we've.

692
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 12: Got to integrate all that.

693
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 15: We got to get on the same page early as

694
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 15: we head into training camp. But but I'm excited for

695
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 15: these guys and how they how they fit.

696
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 12: And then Devin.

697
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 15: Devin brings another element to and in our return game

698
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 15: with with agnew not back.

699
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 12: So we feel in it like we're in a good spot.

700
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 15: And you know, the big thing is just a matter

701
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 15: of of I think just working and working together and

702
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 15: and building the camaraderie and then the and the team

703
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 15: around our quarterback that can that can help us all

704
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 15: be successful.

705
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 2: You know.

706
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 3: Coach, one of the things that has come up, you

707
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 3: made some defensive changes. Josh Allen recently talked about just

708
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 3: make sure that the team builds the trust player the player,

709
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 3: player of the coach. How important is trust and that

710
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 3: camaraderie to build a successful team, a championship caliber team.

711
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 15: Now, I think trust is everything with a football team.

712
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 15: You know, I think you got to lean on your brother,

713
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 15: you got to lean on your coaches. Coaches got to

714
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 15: lean on each other, you know, not only in the

715
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 15: good times but the bad and and obviously there were

716
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 15: some changes made, you know, on staff last year and

717
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 15: and you know, bringing Ryan Nielsen and and and his

718
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 15: his staff on defense and and and the sort of

719
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 15: the new approach that he has with our defense, and

720
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 15: you know, guys like Josh and you know with with

721
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 15: Trey Von and you know, the addition of of Eric

722
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 15: Armstead and guys like that that can really really help

723
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,479
Speaker 15: us in the past row and even be better than

724
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 15: we were before. And and so you'll see some differences

725
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 15: with the defense, but I think I think it's all positive.

726
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 15: But at the same time, we got to get it

727
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 15: all all jailed on the you know, on the same

728
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 15: page as we move forward.

729
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: Doug Bucket just referred to him as Josh Allen, but

730
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: we know this week officially added a name and a

731
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: hyphen to his last name, Josh hind Alanines. How are

732
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: you and the coaching staff going to refer to him with?

733
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: I mean, how are you going to make this happen?

734
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 12: Yeah, I don't know. I got to process this one

735
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 12: a little bit.

736
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 15: It's relatively new, But I'm just excited for him, and

737
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 15: I know that some of the history there and for

738
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 15: him and to make the name change.

739
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 12: So I'm excited. And if it helps him get to

740
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 12: that quarterback man, I'm all.

741
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 3: For it, Uh, you know, coach last thing, like, we've

742
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 3: seen a lot of these teams that have kind of

743
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 3: changed where they're kind of balancing out the wide receiver corps.

744
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 3: You talked about what btj as and what gave Davis as.

745
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 3: How difficult is it to defend an offense they may

746
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 3: not have a true or extap there's number one receiver.

747
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 4: Why does that work for some reason? Why could it

748
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 4: work in Jacksonville?

749
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 15: Well, I think the passing game in general is different,

750
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 15: has changed a little bit around the league, and the

751
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 15: ball does get spread out to multiple players. I think

752
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 15: we kind of have the best of all of them.

753
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 15: You know, we've got a really talented slot receiver that

754
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 15: can get open. You throw Evan Ingram in there. You know,

755
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 15: even as a tight end, he can create some matchups.

756
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 15: And then we create, you know, some picks and obviously

757
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 15: you get into bunches and stacks and then use some

758
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 15: of these things to get these guys open. And then

759
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 15: your quarterback can just spread the ball around and you

760
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 15: take shots when you have the opportunity, and you know,

761
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 15: it's it's.

762
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 12: About getting everybody involved.

763
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 15: And then you get your running game with Travis etn

764
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 15: you get him going a little bit. So I think

765
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 15: it's it's exciting for us, you know, excited for our

766
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 15: quarterback as we head into training camp here in a

767
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 15: couple of weeks and see just how successful we can be. Doug,

768
00:34:58,239 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 15: it's a couple weeks.

769
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: Like you said, before you start train any camp, you

770
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: are at that beautiful golf course up there in North

771
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: Lake Tahoe. So Sauce Gardner, the Jets cornerback, he tweeted out,

772
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 1: and we've seen his golf exploits this summer. I never

773
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: thought I would say this, but golf is harder than football. Okay,

774
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 1: you played in the NFL, you've coached in the NFL,

775
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,760
Speaker 1: and now you're on the links. Any thoughts on Sauce's tweet.

776
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 12: I kind of have to agree with him just a

777
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,439
Speaker 12: little bit. This is not a sport that we play.

778
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 15: We feel comfortable coaching and playing football, so I understand

779
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 15: exactly what he's talking about. I know the ball is

780
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 15: not moving, it's sitting right there on that beautiful green grass,

781
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 15: but oh my goodness, it's hard to advance that ball

782
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 15: down the fairway.

783
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: All right, coach, we'll hit him straight when the tournament

784
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,400

00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 4: Just do you.

Speaker 13: You boss taught me to always be myself.

815
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:28,600

816
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:29,640

821
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

822
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: Another important NFL initiative driving voter registrations across the country.

823
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: Back in June, the NFL partnered with Beet to help

824
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: people register to vote. Several NFL employees worked the NFL

825
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: Votes activation booth at the Beet experience here in Los Angeles.

826
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: There were games for fans, plus an interactive experience with

827
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:14,919
Speaker 1: NFL officiating staff members during the two day event. Coming

828
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: up next, Oh yeah, We're talking more hard knocks the

829
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: off season with the Giants, and there's Brian Daveall if

830
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: you run that seven flat forty.

831
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 11: Yard dash, who cares?

832
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about more Giants on the Insiders after

833
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: the break, all right? Bringing back in Bucky Brooks and Bucky.

834
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: When you see that scene and you've been on conversations

835
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: like this, you mean you're a former scout, you're a

836
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: former player. You know how this works. Did the Giants

837
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: misread Saquon Barkley's value and free agency?

838
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it appears so it appears like when you want

839
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 3: someone to test and kind of see where their market is,

840
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 3: you're probably more of the belief that they're going to

841
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 3: go and find that is less than what they think,

842
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 3: and so then you can come back and then you

843
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,439
Speaker 3: begin to negotiate a deal that is probably more team

844
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 3: friendly than player friendly. But what happened, Saquon Barkley got

845
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 3: in those streets, he had a lot of interest to

846
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 3: Philadelphia Eagles, jumped on them, and they paid him what

847
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:16,800
Speaker 3: he was looking for.

848
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 4: For the Giants, it's a huge loss.

849
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 3: And the reason why it's a loss is because Saquon

850
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 3: Barkley was so valuable to that team. And I know

851
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 3: you had a quarterback making forty million dollars in Daniel Jones.

852
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 3: But I think if you look at it from a

853
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 3: defensive standpoint, who was the most valuable weapon or who

854
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 3: was the guy that you had to take away, Saquon

855
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 3: Barkley was the guy that.

856
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 4: You worried about more than Daniel Jones.

857
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 3: And so now they have to make sure that Devin

858
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 3: Singletary and the rest of the running backs can give

859
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 3: them what Saquon Barkley gave them the last few years. Look,

860
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 3: it's a difficult replacement, but the fact that he's down

861
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 3: the road in Philadelphia, playing with a top offensive line

862
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 3: and motivated to kind of shove it to the Giants, Oh,

863
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 3: those two games a year are gonna be epic. When

864
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 3: it comes to Saquon Barkley having to deal with his

865
00:39:59,040 --> 00:39:59,720
Speaker 3: former team.

866
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 1: He's in their division with the division favor coming in,

867
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: that has to be a stinging blow. So let me

868
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: ask you this, because of your experience doing what you've

869
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,760
Speaker 1: done again as a player, as somebody in the front office,

870
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 1: do you actually try to play games or win games

871
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: and say, hey, we have to make it look at

872
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 1: least ideologically, make it look like we made the right

873
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:19,439
Speaker 1: decision in letting him walk.

874
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 3: I mean, look, you always want to be right when

875
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 3: you're a decision maker. And look, time will tell if

876
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 3: the Giants were right in terms of moving on from

877
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 3: Saquon Barkley.

878
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 4: But certainly you don't want him to come back in

879
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 4: kind of be a thorn in your side.

880
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 3: The fact that he's within the division, Yeah, it puts

881
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 3: it together a different challenge.

882
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 4: I felt like they negotiated in good faith. They wanted

883
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 4: to get this done.

884
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 3: Running Back markets are tricky, but this year was different

885
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 3: than any other year. We saw running backs get paid.

886
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 16: This year.

887
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 4: We saw Josh Jacobs go.

888
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 3: We saw like a run on running backs right away

889
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 3: when free agencies started, and so all the conversation that

890
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 3: we had about the devaluation of running backs that didn't

891
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 3: appear so when it came to the veterans.

892
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 4: And so maybe there was just a sea change when

893
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 4: it came to the way the.

894
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 3: League viewed running backs in Saint Qward, Barkley was a beneficiary.

895
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially the veteran running backs this year, and you

896
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:11,919
Speaker 1: saw the guys get paid. Maybe that said something about

897
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: the running backs in this year's draft class. But to

898
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: get back to the Giants. It's just interesting, how I say,

899
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. We have to find out what he is.

900
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: He was better with Saquan when he was in there. Hey, Bucky,

901
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,280
Speaker 1: great job today. Tomorrow on the inside is Bears cornerback

902
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: Jalen Johnson, the pro bowler, the bad man. On the outside,

903
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: he'll be joining us. Thanks again, have a great night everybody.
