Speaker 1: Coming up on the Booth Review London. Terry McLaurin signed

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: an extension.

3
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 2: Yes, and we also got a little preseason recap and.

4
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 1: We got to get ready to cut down to fifty three.

5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: We'll do that with Logan Paulsen.

6
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 3: Next.

7
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: Welcome into the debut edition of the twenty twenty five

8
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: season Booth Review podcast. I'm Bram Whiteside with Big Fletch

Speaker 1: Command Center studio.

11
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 3: Preseason has done, London.

12
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: Preseason is done, man, and you know what, preseason is necessary,

13
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 2: but I'm glad to fuck The regular season is upon us.

14
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 2: A lot to talk about, a lot to kind of

15
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: reflect on as we'll get ready for this the start

16
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 2: of the twenty twenty five season.

17
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about the preseason a little bit

18
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: in camp and get ready for the season. But there's

19
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: really major news that occurred and I want to address

20
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: it with you. Yeah, just a little bit. Terry McLaurin

21
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: got a deal. It's been reported by Adam Schefter many

22
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: other insiders out there. It's not officially put out by

23
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: the team yet, and it's expected to be a three

24
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: year extend for him. So it puts to bed what

25
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: has been a long running storyline for the team, and

26
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: so he's back in the fold for now into the future.

27
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: Two weeks away from the start of the regular season.

28
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: What was just your general reaction to hearing it.

29
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: I was thrilled to know that this thing had finally

30
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: gotten done, that they'd had a grade to an extension.

31
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: So I have so much respect for Terry as a player,

32
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 2: to respect for Terry as a person, respect for the organization,

33
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: respect for the front office, and also the ownership and

34
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 2: respect for the process to kind of wait and see

35
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 2: how things was going to go, let the process play out,

36
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 2: and I know I felt great confidence. I had confidence

37
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: that they would be able to come to an agreement,

38
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: and I'm stoked about it and happy to see a

39
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: seventeen back out on the field.

40
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: I think what was really interesting about it for me

41
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: throughout the whole process was I think they both had

42
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: the same goal the whole time, Like he didn't really

43
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: want to go anywhere. He wants to be here, he

44
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: matters here, or he's part of us, and I think

45
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: the team and they don't say a lot publicly, but

46
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: they stated early in the spring, we want him to

47
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: be here for a long time. So this maybe lasted

48
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: a little bit longer than I ever thought it was

49
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: going to. And we can talk about maybe the impact

50
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: of what you think it did on training camp, but

51
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: like that's the only part of this that I think

52
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: was a surprise. I think they both wanted the same thing,

53
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: and I'm happy we got to it. Maybe a little

54
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: later than I thought they would, but but we got

55
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: to it.

56
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

57
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,119
Speaker 2: And then I've been in my career been a part

58
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 2: of some negotiations, contract negotiations.

59
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 5: And they're not easy.

60
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 2: But the main thing that you touched on is they

61
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: wanted to get to this point. He wanted to be here.

62
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: They wanted him here. Now how do we get to

63
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 2: this point? That that took a little bit of maneuver

64
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 2: and things like that. But you know, just as as

65
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: you look at just Terry as a football player. Last year,

66
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: we know he set the franchise record and touchdowns catches.

67
00:02:59,400 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 5: In a season.

68
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 2: But since he's been here, he's been everything you want

69
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: to want from a football player. And I think even

70
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: though I was under a new, old regime and old coaches,

71
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: they recognize, Hey, that this is a guy that we

72
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 2: want to continue to be a part of our coach

73
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: our build what we're building here, and I'm glad it's

74
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: finally done.

75
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think to kind of bring it back to

76
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: camp a little bit. Noah Brown's been injured, so he's

77
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: been missing some time. Hopefully he's trending up. That looked good.

78
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: He was working out a pregame before the Ravens preseason finale,

79
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: so that's a good sign. Get him back out on the field.

80
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 5: Larry M.

81
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: Tunzel's been in and out of the lineup, Randon Coleman

82
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: in out of the lineup. It was nice to see

83
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: him playing that Ravens preseason finale. We're waiting on Sam Cosby.

84
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: The gang hasn't been together, and part of this was Terry.

85
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: We know what a big part of the offense that

86
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: he is. His return I think exponentially changes. Not that

87
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: I thought he was going anywhere, but him being happy

88
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: in the building and showing up on the field and

89
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: getting something that he wanted, security, money, whatever else. You know,

90
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: I think respect more than anything. It's a really big

91
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: deal that this did not linger into the regular step.

92
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: Absolutely, because you know, you don't want you don't want

93
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 2: any player to be unhappy, especially a player that you're

94
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 2: going to you're counting on to be such a huge

95
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: part of not just your office, but just your team

96
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: in general. He's so well respected, so they understood that,

97
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 2: and you mentioned getting that done and the team not

98
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 2: really being together. So we're going to have to also

99
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: look at Week one against the New York Giants. We

100
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 2: got what thirteen days yeah, between now and you know,

101
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 2: the regular season opener. How getting them wrapped up and

102
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: ready for they open the season opener. We know he's

103
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: been doing things, just knowing he's a professional, I'm sure

104
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 2: he's been, you know, conditioning and doing the things as

105
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 2: much as possible to get himself ready. But there is

106
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: going to be a little time and adjustment, and there'll

107
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: be several practices between now and the season opening. But

108
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: you know, it's he makes such a big difference having

109
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 2: his presence on the football field.

110
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not worried about him being in shape. I'm

111
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: not worried about him being in the meetings and engaged

112
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. I do wonder, having not practiced,

113
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: can we expect volume from him of plays that we

114
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: have grown accustomed to. He's rarely off the field for

115
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: this team, you know, over the last durable.

116
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 3: He's reliable in shape.

117
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: Is the conditioning a question having not practiced for as

118
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: long as he has in practice.

119
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 2: I think just when you when you hear DQ talk

120
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 2: about all making sure they take the top of steps

121
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: in terms of returning to the field, and they have an

122
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 2: idea process that they go to to ramp up guys

123
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 2: to be ready to play in regular season games, to

124
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 2: be ready to even return to practice fully.

125
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 5: Colorful.

126
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 2: They'll have a bunch of different personnel groupings where Terry

127
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 2: will be on on the field, some he won't be

128
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 2: on the field, and that's just throughout the normal course

129
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: of a game. Will they have to make some adjustments, Well,

130
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 2: we three looked totally different from a volume standpoint the

131
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 2: week one. Probably we don't know that for certain, but

132
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: I'm sure they'll go about it the right way and

133
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: get it in terms of getting him ready to be

134
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 2: his best.

135
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: I want to talk about him being happy and feeling

136
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: respected too. You're one of the players here that's up

137
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: in the ring of fame, right, one of the most

138
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 1: widely respected players that has put on this uniform for

139
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: a long time. I think he's trending that way too,

140
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: that if he were to play the bulk of his career,

141
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: potentially break records here. He already did one of them

142
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: that you mentioned before. He's going to be top three

143
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: if he plays out this contract in just about every category.

144
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: And we have Hall of Fame wide receivers like Art Monk,

145
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: who's getting honored this year, Charlie Taylor, others, Saint Hena

146
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: Moss is getting honored. He's played in this uniform. I

147
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: wonder how you kind of think about legacy for him,

148
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: because that also, to me, has been something I've thought

149
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: a lot about during this offseason with him. He has

150
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: been such an important part of one of the major

151
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: transitional periods of this I really want to see him

152
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: see it through because I know what he means to

153
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: the community, I know what he means to the franchise,

154
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: and he's going to be honored. I think it's the

155
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: ways that you've been honored by the end of it.

156
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: Yes, he would. He should be. The thing that you

157
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: we talk about the production. Production is one thing. There

158
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 2: have been a lot of players who've come in here

159
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 2: produce produced at a high level, produced at a high

160
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: level for a number of years. But it's how you

161
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: go about handling your business, and the thing that you

162
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 2: really appreciate for Terry is he just does it with

163
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 2: such grace and humility and where he's a very likable player.

164
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 2: And so when you you you root for him and

165
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 2: you want him to be here at least a decade

166
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 2: and guardner all the recognition to accolades that he will,

167
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 2: you know, ultimately receive once his player days are over.

168
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: But just him as a player. UH got played with

169
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: a lot of number one receivers matter, and UH play

170
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 2: with some Hall of famers, and they could be a

171
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 2: little temperamental, They can be a little bit of was

172
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: You don't see that he's played with it. I mean

173
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: I don't. We can't even name how many different quarterbacks

174
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: he's played with. You never hear him complaining frustrated things

175
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 2: like that. He just goes about shows up to work

176
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 2: day in and day out. And that's why he's he's

177
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 2: gonna be here for you know, the foreseeable future.

178
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: You admitted you had a couple of acrimonious you know,

179
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: contract negotiations through the years you lived the life there,

180
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: you saw a lot of ice. Have this does it

181
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,599
Speaker 1: ever really bother the locker room beause I think a

182
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: lot of people on the outside wonder like this hanging

183
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: over the team for as long as it did, How

184
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: does it not affect the locker room.

185
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 2: As it doesn't because everybody players understand there's there's the

186
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 2: football side of things and then there's the business side

187
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 2: of football, and you.

188
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 5: Guys, it's just a part of it. You know.

189
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 2: As a as a player, you focus on what you

190
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 2: can control and you focus on your business. Terry had

191
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 2: to have no his business and the team, you know,

192
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 2: had no business from a contract standpoint. But me as

193
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 2: as a player or you got to worry about making

194
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 2: sure you're doing everything you can do to be the

195
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: best player you can be. Being focused on the meeting

196
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 2: is being focused on the practice field, doing all the

197
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 2: things necessary to prepare each day in and day out

198
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 2: to get ready for September seventh.

199
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: And he's obviously a great player. He also feels like

200
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: a heartbeat to me for this team. I think you were,

201
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: you know, for your side of the ball at the

202
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: time when you were playing as well. I think we

203
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: all see that in him too. It's important for him

204
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: to be happy, engaged, proud to wear the uniform and

205
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: putting the type of energy that we've grown accustomed to

206
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: with him. He is an all time competitor for this

207
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: for this team.

208
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 5: It makes a difference. Man, I tell you, you know,

209
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 5: I can. I can.

210
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 2: I would look at my situation. I'll go back to

211
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: my situation in Saint Louis with the Rams, my first team.

212
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 5: I played for it, and.

213
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: We won a super Bowl my second year in the league,

214
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 2: second first year as a starter, ended up going to

215
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 2: another super Bowl my fourth year there. I played great football,

216
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 2: did a lot of great things, and and we were

217
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 2: trying to get a deal done, but we just couldn't.

218
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 2: We just couldn't come to an agreement. And when free

219
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: agency started and it was apparent that I wasn't going

220
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 2: to resign there, I was hurt. I was hurt by

221
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: because I had put so much into it, and I'm like,

222
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 2: dang man, what more could I could I do have

223
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 2: done to, you know, have gotten paid what I felt

224
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 2: like I was deserved it. And at that point point

225
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 2: in time was younger, not really understanding the whole dynamics

226
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 2: of football. You're working with a budget, there's other things

227
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: you got to take a consideration.

228
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 5: But it uh. It hurtful.

229
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 2: It hurt before initially, and then I had to get

230
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 2: over there and understand that's that's just football, and that's

231
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 2: the business of it. And sometimes it's not always about

232
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: you know, everything's not black and white, so to speak. Yeah,

233
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 2: there's some other issue, moving parts and dynamics that come

234
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 2: into play.

235
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 5: Yeah.

236
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: I think this is all going to ultimately be water

237
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: under the bridge and just a footnotes of the season

238
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: because it goes back to the beginning. The only surprising

239
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: this whole thing to me was how long it took

240
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: to get here. I think both sites wanted this outcome

241
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: the whole time, and so I'm glad we got to

242
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: that outcome.

243
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 3: They move forward.

244
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 2: They did, I mean Adam peters Ap he was on

245
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 2: I mean he did press conference saying, hey, we won't

246
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 2: tear here, we.

247
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 5: Want to tear here.

248
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 2: DQ mentioned as a you know, it was they weren't

249
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 2: traded them, they weren't fielding trade offer, so they wanted

250
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 2: to him. They understand his importance to this team to

251
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 2: the value. Now we can put that bit really really

252
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 2: focus in on September one, I mean September seventh and

253
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 2: the New York Giants and the twenty twenty five football season.

254
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into why we do this, which

255
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: is the review what we watched on the field and

256
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: get past the news part of it. And regardless of

257
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: whether this had gotten done with Terry earlier, he wouldn't

258
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: have played very much in the preseason because very few

259
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: of the starters played in the three preseason games. There

260
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: were what one series with Jade and Daniels end what

261
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: was a compilation of the starters, because remember a number

262
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: of them didn't play on that right either because of injuries,

263
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: and then it was all backups in the other two

264
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: games and the starting defense played a little bit. What

265
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: did you make of that decision to use the starters

266
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: really sparingly in the three games.

267
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 2: I think there's there's not one way to do it.

268
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 2: You know, you have some coaches that are going to

269
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 2: play starters in every preseason game, and then you got

270
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 2: some guys who take their approach to DQ to and say, hey,

271
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 2: we're gonna play our starts very fairly. I think at

272
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 2: the end of the day, you have to do what

273
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 2: you feel is best for your football team in any.

274
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: Given year, and any look like we played Cincinnati right, yes,

275
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: the last few years they didn't play their starters. Some

276
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: of it was Joe Burrow was injured, but they didn't

277
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: and they've come They had zero and two or worse

278
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: three straight years, and they came in this year and said,

279
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: that's not happening again. We're gonna play our starters. Did

280
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: against Philadelphia, did an extended period against Washington, and I

281
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: guess we're not at that point right now. Right like,

282
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: we're looking at things differently with our group.

283
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 2: It just is again, it's all about and also what

284
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 2: you have to take it take into consideration the play.

285
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 2: The coaches they know, hey, we're I'm not gonna play

286
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 2: my starters in this this first preseason game, maybe just

287
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: a little bit second preseason game, majority not gonna play

288
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 2: in this third preseason game. So I'm gonna tailor my

289
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 2: practices to take those days into consideration.

290
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 5: We're gonna have some hard practice.

291
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 2: We're gonna I'm gonna really challenge them Mitchally, I'm going

292
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: to stress them out physically. I'm going to do a

293
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 2: lot of different things that the public won't see in

294
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 2: order to get.

295
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 5: Them ready to play a football game.

296
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 2: If you if you say, let's say, for instance, they're

297
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: playing in the first preseason game against New England, you

298
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 2: may not have as that same type of attests, UH practice,

299
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 2: joint practice with the with the New England Patriots.

300
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 5: You may not have the scrimmage that you.

301
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 2: Had last week prior to the was it the Bengals

302
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 2: not the Bengals game, prior.

303
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 5: Prior to the Ravens game.

304
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 2: So you do different things to kind of take those

305
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 2: things in consideration. And that's not just that's not necessarily

306
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 2: to say that taking that approach, playing playing a series

307
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 2: or two in the in that preseason game, I would

308
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: have gotten as much work done.

309
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 5: That's that's there's no guarantee.

310
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like the best moment of the summer I thought

311
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: in watching the starters was the joint practice up in

312
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: New England. I was there for that, and I thought, like,

313
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: we saw Tunsel at his best. Suddenly you saw how

314
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: dominant he can be. Jane looked good, zach Ertz looked,

315
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: Quicker was separating better than did a year. We saw

316
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: the makings of what we're looking at for this year.

317
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: Then they turn around and play the game. None of

318
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: the starters are in there. And we were there after

319
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: the game with Dan Quinn in the locker room. He

320
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: was not pleased with a lot of things. Yeah, and

321
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: I got it, you know, like we didn't push him

322
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: too hard off the Ravens game because it was last

323
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: preseason game, and again none of the starters played. But

324
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: there were a lot of turnovers and there were a

325
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: lot of penalties, and he'd been talking about tackling. So

326
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say this was a slower

327
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: collective start I think to the summer than I think

328
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: maybe they had hoped or anticipated. But at the same time,

329
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: most of the primary players didn't participate in it, so

330
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: it's kind of hard to like figure out where we

331
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: stand right now.

332
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 2: I think I think they would have they expected this

333
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 2: the let's call them majority of the second third, third

334
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 2: kind of group guys, back of the roster type guys,

335
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 2: back to the position group type guys to play much

336
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 2: better than they did, and there were some there were

337
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 2: some guys that did have some really good performances. But

338
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: I want to think I don't want people to think

339
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 2: that nobody played well in the preseason, because there were

340
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 2: some some really good performances by some guys in the preseason,

341
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 2: but collectively as a team, it wasn't It wasn't what

342
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 2: you would love to see from a from a product standpoint.

343
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 2: We know what the the New England game. They had

344
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: a totally different approach. And this my this is Mike

345
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: Vary was first year there. They they played their starters. Yeah,

346
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 2: they you can tell their game plan. They they they

347
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 2: spent time on Washington, on us and I mean they

348
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 2: came out it was Brady Statue Day and they played

349
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 2: with the intensity that we didn't match. The Ravens game,

350
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: especially when the when the two starters were in. That

351
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 2: was an exciting bag. First two series feel like a game.

352
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 3: It really did.

353
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: The first quarter and a half into the really late

354
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: part of the second quarter because Burrow played an extended

355
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: period of time that really felt like a game, and

356
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: it was reminiscent of the back and forth that we

357
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: had with them and we three the years and.

358
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 2: Then this this game against the Ravens. I was, man,

359
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 2: I thought it would be a lot more competitive games,

360
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 2: especially you know, you got the Battle of the Beltway,

361
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 2: so to speak, and the Ravens they've been doing it

362
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 2: almost twenty years with the same group of guys.

363
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 5: Obviously knew something.

364
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 2: Although he's not the general manager, he's built helped build

365
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 2: this program for so long. Their PERSONNELI is, they don't

366
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 2: change systems. They keep the same type of systems in

367
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 2: play they right now that we did. We we didn't

368
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 2: compete with them the way I felt like we would

369
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: compete with them, And I'm sure the coaches didn't fil

370
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 2: like that either.

371
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, but again, like I want to go back to, like,

372
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: I'm very curious what this all looks like against the

373
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: Giants Because most of the primary players participated so little

374
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: in all of these games, it's really kind of hard

375
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: to know. So how are they gonna utilize Deebo Samuel?

376
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 1: The Giants are about to find out? What does this

377
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,479
Speaker 1: offensive line really look like? Assuming Laramie Tunseel Brandon Coleman

378
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: are healthy. We'll see with Sam Cosmy, you know, when

379
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: he can come back sooner rather than later. What does

380
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: the running game look like after the changes that they've

381
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: been made? And like, are we going to see a

382
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: very different offense than we did a year ago?

383
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 3: I don't know. So there is a lot of good

384
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 3: thing secrecy here.

385
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, even if they did play, you still wouldn't know

386
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 2: because they're not going to show you everything you would

387
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 2: have saw basically some bas generic type of offense from

388
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 2: our guys. They are going to show you these types

389
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 2: of rus that they're gonna have for the New York Giants,

390
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 2: the type of passing concepts that they're gonna have for

391
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 2: the New York Giants. First and foremost, they haven't. The

392
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 2: coaches have already probably spend some time on the Giants,

393
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 2: but they're not going at it with the players and say, hey,

394
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 2: these are players we're gonna we're gonna run against the Giants.

395
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 2: These are concepts that we're gonna run. These are runs

396
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 2: that we're getting ready to uh have in the in

397
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 2: the game against the Giants. So you still wouldn't know.

398
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 2: But here's the thing I do know is not that

399
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 2: this regular season is on. The intensity ramps up, the

400
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 2: focus ramps up. You have a guy in Bobby Wagner's

401
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 2: Super Bowl champion, you got Von Miller, two time Super

402
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 2: Bowl champion. You have Zach Ertz, who's who's won a

403
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. You have some veteran guys that know how

404
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 2: to get ready for a regular season game, for the

405
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 2: opening of the season, and they will set the tone

406
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 2: in practice of how they need, how you need to

407
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 2: go about handling your business to get ready to blake

408
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 2: to play your best football.

409
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 5: On September seventh.

410
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: You know, I think this was also an interesting setup

411
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: this summer. Like they talk a lot hear about competition,

412
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: and sometimes if you take that in the literal sense,

413
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: it is like vying for positions. But if you think

414
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: about the roster that they brought in here, the veterans

415
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: that they signed, we walked into training camp short of injuries,

416
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: knowing pretty much. I mean that forty eight of the

417
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: fifty three were felt like they were pretty much set

418
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: walking in the building right, things could change. I think

419
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: the part of the backups not playing to the standard,

420
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: if you will, and the like how them being upset

421
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: about it was. I think dan Quinn and company wanted

422
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: to see them see something, Here is your opportunity. I

423
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: know it looks like that some of these jobs are

424
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: maybe not there, but show me, And I think that

425
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: felt like that's where it felt like to me a

426
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 1: little bit where it was just maybe a touch different

427
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: than what I expected. That said, the players who didn't

428
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: play were the players from the get go that I

429
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: expected to be playing on week one. Like, I didn't

430
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: feel like we walked into an extremely competitive for jobs

431
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: environment this summer.

432
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,479
Speaker 2: No, No, not at all, because as you mentioned, you know,

433
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 2: you had you had the guys who contributed at a high

434
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 2: great deal last year come back and then you have

435
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 2: your trade, your draft class, and you know, so to speak,

436
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 2: how that kind of goes. But there are there are

437
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 2: still some there were still some some battles. Who's gonna

438
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 2: be that that fifth wide receiver, that sixth wire receiver

439
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 2: if they carry six you're still you know, offensive lineman.

440
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 2: That's there's you're always battling for for you know, was

441
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 2: the eighth, ninth, tenth, tenth offensive lineman. The defensive end,

442
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 2: there's some competition at the defensive end position. Yes, so

443
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 2: there's a backup linebackers competition there. So there are some

444
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 2: some some places and spots that there are still some

445
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 2: decisions to be made.

446
00:21:59,240 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 6: Yep.

447
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 2: And that's not to say that guys in those groups

448
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 2: there probably are some guys that they felt like really

449
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 2: stood out that said, hey, this guy has done what

450
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 2: he needs to do to solidify and justify him being

451
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 2: on this football team.

452
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 5: Now, collectively as a.

453
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 2: Team, we might not have been a competitive but hey,

454
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 2: I was I wanted to really get a look at

455
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 2: this guy, and he showed me what I wanted to see. Yeah,

456
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 2: this guy showed me what I wanted to see, so

457
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 2: let's not lose.

458
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 5: Sight of that.

459
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: We were watching Ale Caho, who's really undrafted free agent,

460
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: made a name for himself in a spot where there

461
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,959
Speaker 1: was room for a young linebacker to kind of make

462
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: a name for himself. Robert McDaniel as an undrafted free

463
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 1: agent that kind of started to emerge late in camp

464
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 1: as someone that they got very interested in. I think

465
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: we're seeing development of Colson Yankov right now. Chris Paul

466
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: looks much more versatile than he did previously. He's always

467
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: had a lot of strength, but his versatility and his

468
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: positioning has changed. So there were a lot of positives.

469
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: Although I think the coaches, you know, all but sedative,

470
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: like collectively, I don't think they were overly pleased with

471
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: just they.

472
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 5: I mean, it was, it was. It was not very good,

473
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 5: especially that uh that game against the Ravens at home.

474
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 5: Man thirty three.

475
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 2: I'll say this though, we have to This is a

476
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 2: seventy man roster too, So you got your initial fifty

477
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 2: three and then the practice squad actually seventy one because

478
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 2: you got the h the Pathway uh yeah, Pathway player

479
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 2: as well. There's gonna be some and there might be

480
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 2: some releases around the league that we may add to

481
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 2: our our fifty three man roster. The third quarterback spot,

482
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 2: I think it's fair to say we we don't know

483
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 2: how they're gonna carry three, Are they gonna carry two?

484
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 2: If they if they only carry too an active roster,

485
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 2: they still don't have a quarterback or two on the

486
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 2: practice squad. Is it gonna be the guys who've already

487
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 2: been here? Did they show enough?

488
00:23:59,280 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 5: Yeah?

489
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: I think a lot of that largely comes down to

490
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota had a lower leg strain. He's been dealing

491
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: with achilles tendonitis. He did work out before the Ravens game,

492
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: which I thought was a really good sign that things

493
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: are trending the right way for him. I know they

494
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: want to be very careful with something like that. You

495
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: don't want to push somebody with something like that and

496
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: have a season ending injury. And they need him. That

497
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: became abundantly clear. He's the backup quarterback in the team.

498
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: So I think that third quarterback conversation probably comes down

499
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: to how confident are they that Mariota is going to

500
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: be fine if need be Week one, week two against

501
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: the Giants.

502
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 2: And even then, how much of a I mean when

503
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 2: you talking about third quarterback, So there's also a scenario

504
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 2: how quickly can you bring somebody in here and get

505
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 2: them up to speed to your offense because they're not

506
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 2: really going to get reps to run our offense and practice.

507
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 2: Those reps are going to Jay and Dall's and maybe

508
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 2: a sprinkle or two to Mariota. That guy's going to

509
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 2: have to really learn if you bring somebody in outside

510
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 2: who maybe doesn't have that background with Cliff, Yeah, Cliff

511
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 2: Kingsbury offense that that he was, how quickly can you

512
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 2: get that person up to speed without them being able

513
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 2: to get the reps needed that you build up the

514
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 2: OTA's offseason workos many cabs trying to camp the preseason guys,

515
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 2: those are those are all questions that remain.

516
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: The one other big thing that happened this summer that

517
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: I want to get your thoughts on was the decision

518
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: to trade Brian Robinson and where the running back room

519
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: is as we head into the season where I'm assuming

520
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: they're going to keep for Logan Pulse is going to

521
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: join us in a minute, we'll talk about the roster construction.

522
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: But like Bill, the seventh round pick really flashed in camp,

523
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: showed some stuff in the games. Austin Eckler comes back,

524
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: I think feels like a primary back in many different

525
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: ways for them. Chris Rodriguez had a very nice Summer's

526
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: kind of re designed his body. He's got a lot faster.

527
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 1: Jerey McNichols, I know, is very well liked in the

528
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: room the others. It's a very competitive room. But Brian

529
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: Robinson obviously was a performer here for a few years

530
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 1: and a consistent one. What did you say think when

531
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: that happened, Well, think it was kind.

532
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 2: Of a parent that be Robb was going to be

533
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 2: moved when he didn't dress for the game against Cincinnati Bengals.

534
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 2: And when you look at this office and what they

535
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 2: want their backs to be able to do, and not

536
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 2: even just their backs, you don't want to necessarily give

537
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 2: the defense an indication. Hey when when be robs in

538
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 2: a game, it's an eighty percent run, because that's what

539
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 2: we do as defense. We look for tendency. So we're

540
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 2: going to call our game pay based on Tennessees for

541
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 2: whether it's a personnel grouping tendency. Donard, this is Tendessee.

542
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 2: Whatever we want to call our game plan based on that.

543
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 2: They call a defense based on that on a particular play.

544
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 2: With these other guys, you have guys that maybe can

545
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 2: do a little bit more. They can you can add

546
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 2: a little bit more in the passing game. You got

547
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 2: to acting you missing mentioned him is if it might

548
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 2: be fifty to fifty run pass when he's in the game.

549
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 2: Same thing with Jeremy McNichols. You have to see what

550
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 2: Bill can do, you know, consistently in the passing gay.

551
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 2: We know he can catch and he can make things

552
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 2: happen when you when he gets the ball in his hands.

553
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 2: We know he has a tremendous speed and burst and

554
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 2: all those things. In vision they had they got four guys.

555
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,199
Speaker 2: Now assuming that you know these are the four guys

556
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 2: that they end up keeping, they can do a lot

557
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 2: of different things. And three of those guys, with the

558
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 2: exception of Eckler, they cover kicks too. They'll be out,

559
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 2: go out and play special teams. So you had that

560
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 2: dimension as well, and be Robb didn't. He didn't He

561
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 2: didn't cover kicks. So I think I think it ended

562
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 2: up being the right decision for the team. Be robbed

563
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 2: ended up in a great spot in San Francisco. They

564
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 2: love to run the football. I'm a huge Big b

565
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 2: Rob fan. I'll still support him and cheer for him,

566
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 2: but they made that decision that these are the guys

567
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 2: we don't go with, and these guys fit what we

568
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 2: want to do better.

569
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really, I really like getting to know Brian

570
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: is a very nice young man. Obviously, if we know

571
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 1: happened his rookie season was terrible incident that occurred. He

572
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: ended up playing through it, and then you watch him

573
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: every summer training camp. He was the guy that was

574
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: signing out of grass for the kids and throwing footballs

575
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: with them and engaging with them. He's a very tough player.

576
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: I'm also rooting for him in San Francisco. I look

577
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: at this more as it was a fit thing more

578
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: than anything. I think they're looking for some, you know,

579
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: players that can maybe stretch the field a little bit differently,

580
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: home run hitting ability, catch the ball out of the backfield,

581
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: And I think it's just a schematic fit more than anything,

582
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: and I think they see more out of some of

583
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: these other players that fit this offense a little differently.

584
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll do fine at San Francisco.

585
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 2: They run that ball, Yeah, and you mentioned Chris Rod Drewguez.

586
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 2: I think Chris Chris is He's performed every with all

587
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 2: the opportunities he's been given, especially last season, and then

588
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 2: limited opportunities he got, he produced. We seen how these

589
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 2: how he's producing these in these preseason games. Broke out

590
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 2: the four, broke off the forty yarder against the Bagles,

591
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 2: broke off another long, really nice row to start the

592
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 2: game against the But so he's a he's somebody that

593
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 2: I want to see what he looks like with more

594
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 2: carries and more opportunities.

595
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he changed his number last year, was off

596
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,959
Speaker 1: the team entirely at one point last year, came back

597
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: to an amazing story. If he becomes someone who gets,

598
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: you know, a little more opportunity than he did over

599
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: the first couple of years of his career.

600
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 3: All right, we do have a third member.

601
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: Of our team on Sunday's, Mondays, Thursdays, whatever it's gonna

602
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: be this year. So we've got the craziest schedule of

603
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: all time. It is the one and only Logan Paulsen.

604
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so every week the.

605
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 3: Dressed down Logan Paulson.

606
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 5: You love me, hanging man.

607
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 6: What's always been good to me, I should give you

608
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 6: a knuckler.

609
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 3: It's nice to have you here with us. It's so

610
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 3: good to be here.

611
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, it kind of feels like I'm on the sideline,

612
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 6: you know.

613
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,239
Speaker 4: You guys just talk and I listen, and then all

614
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 4: of a sudden it's like, hey, Logan, what's up?

615
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 6: Ye come in?

616
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 4: So it's good that you're here playing. It's a bructioning

617
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 4: plate for sure.

618
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, always complaining about his time.

619
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then the seed I get. It's just tough, man.

620
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 3: They could have given you one of these nice chairs.

621
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 3: That wasn't my choice.

622
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 6: I know you talked to me.

623
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 5: We want to make you feel comfortable.

624
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 6: You should comfortable to tell you that right now?

625
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 3: Would you think of camp? What's you just general impression.

626
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 4: When I think of camp, man, I mean, I always

627
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 4: like camp is fun, you know what I mean. I

628
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 4: think it's just hard to get a real evaluation from it,

629
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. Like it's just one of

630
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 4: those things where you're kind of like, yes, here's the

631
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 4: thing that's happening, right, fletch, Like we are going against

632
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 4: our own team, but like, how good is the offensive

633
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 4: line really? How good is the defensive line really? And

634
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 4: I've said this to you, maybe you before Fletch. It's

635
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 4: like one of those things where you don't really know

636
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 4: what your team is until probably like week three or

637
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 4: four of the season, right, And again that's one of

638
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 4: those things where you're kind of in the NFL. I

639
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 4: think that's a good point. It's like, it's not that's

640
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 4: not an indictment of this team. It's every team I

641
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 4: ever played for, because I remember being part of the Bears.

642
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 4: So I got cut here and then I went to

643
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 4: the Bears, and I remember that team was objectively bad

644
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 4: and I had just come.

645
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 6: In, right, it was like my first day.

646
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 4: It was getting ready for week one and Jim Fox

647
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 4: got up, our coach Fox set up in front of

648
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 4: the team. He was like, we're gonna go to the

649
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 4: super Bowl, and I was like, I definitely know that's

650
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 4: not true because I just came from as other team, right. So, like,

651
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 4: I think that's part of the thing about this, Like

652
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 4: training camp is like good vibes. I love the way

653
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,959
Speaker 4: coach Quinn handles it, but ultimately, like you don't know

654
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 4: until you know.

655
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: As much as like monitor fan bases these days, by

656
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: the way, be careful with the Chicago people.

657
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 4: They are ranked so they're.

658
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 3: Ranked very high on easily triggered people.

659
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 6: So, just for the record, this is in twenty sixteen,

660
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 6: and that was a bad year.

661
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 5: I wanted I wanted to ask how many guys did

662
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 5: y'all end up win today?

663
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 6: Everyone? Four three three four games?

664
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 5: Not quite super Bowl.

665
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 4: Quite make the super Bowl, but we were very very close.

666
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 4: So yeah, I don't know, but yeah, we get. I

667
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 4: think the question was like, did anyone stand out in

668
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 4: the preseason?

669
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 3: Right, you can answer it anyway.

670
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, so did anyone who set out for you in

671
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 6: the preseason?

672
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 2: Fletch Man, I so, yeah, you got the obvious guys.

673
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 2: That's that's too think you. I think, yeah, let's let's

674
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 2: go in tears.

675
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 4: Let's feel like with that starting group, anybody stick out

676
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 4: to you there, and then we'll go down and maybe something.

677
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 2: So for some reason, I was going to start with

678
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 2: younger guys, but I don't. I had to go big

679
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 2: with Jaden stood out. Oh yeah, Mikey Savage Steele stood

680
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 2: out making plays.

681
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 6: To dude, how good was Mikey though?

682
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 5: Oh he's outstanding.

683
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 6: I mean every practice, right, Bran.

684
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, he is outstanding.

685
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 2: Mikey Stash Salmon Steel stood out totso I stood out

686
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 2: even more so when in enjoint practices.

687
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 5: Who else Trey.

688
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 6: Amos, Dude, I think that whole secondary, Yeah, he.

689
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 5: Really stood out.

690
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 3: The secondary.

691
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: I would argue from last year to this year, that

692
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: went from a weakness to a strength overnight, and it

693
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: might be the strongest part of the defense. Like I

694
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: might argue that the reason why that I think that

695
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: they feel confident that they're going to play the style

696
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: they want to play that they didn't play a year

697
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: ago is be because of the confidence in that group

698
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: that they have right now. Marshaun Lattimore has looked healthy

699
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: to me.

700
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 5: We'll see.

701
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that's gonna be the case. Amos looks like

702
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: a walk in the door first day starter, I hipped. Hopefully,

703
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: we know what Sanders still was last year, and they're

704
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: moving him to a position they think he's going to

705
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: excel at. They have real depth now behind them, and

706
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: I think the safeties, especially Kwan, have really come on

707
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: here in another year. The secondary looks like a massive

708
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: strength for this team.

709
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 4: Well, I wanted to guy, ask you like a flash

710
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 4: fled specifically, like when I see Santum still practice right

711
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 4: his ability to produce the ball every day, whether he's

712
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 4: punching it out, interception ball skills like, and he didn't

713
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 4: play a ton in the preseason, but like, I don't know, man,

714
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 4: I was worried about him going from outside inside because

715
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,719
Speaker 4: I feel like that's a really tough transition. But all

716
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 4: of a sudden he comes in there and you write

717
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 4: about going from outside side because it's a different position,

718
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, People, it's tougher to go.

719
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 5: Well, it's just thought it was to be tougher for

720
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 5: him to go to outside.

721
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 4: Right, But then but then you're coming back and it's

722
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 4: not the same as it was last year. So I

723
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 4: look at him, I'm like, man, he's tackling in the

724
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 4: run game. Yeah, he's producing the football like and it

725
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 4: just I just was blown away with how effective he

726
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 4: was this training.

727
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 2: Where we had Joe Witt on the conference call and

728
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 2: he called him a dirt dog. Dirt dogs, dirt dog,

729
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 2: And what he was basically said is this dude is

730
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 2: an animal.

731
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:17,439
Speaker 5: He is a pit bull.

732
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 2: Don't let don't let the the well spoken is you know,

733
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 2: we had a few of those.

734
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 3: I think Terry's that way. I think Jade is too.

735
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 3: Don't be the smile does a.

736
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 5: Kill on this side. Yeah.

737
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 2: But but with Mikey, he's just so tough. You look

738
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 2: at his size, like, man, he's not He's not extremely big.

739
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 2: He reminds me of a teammate that I had in

740
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 2: Buffalo at Twine Winfield. Joke, you played Twine Whinfield the father, Yes.

741
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 6: Because like I remember him just being an absolute savage.

742
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 2: That one was five maybe nine on this tippy toes

743
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 2: one hundred.

744
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,760
Speaker 6: I don't know.

745
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 2: Five ten easy, easy, yeah, five?

746
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 6: Look at you got feet.

747
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:11,280
Speaker 5: That's like Mike doesn't look really physically imposed.

748
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 2: Powerful pile, was the best tackling in the NFL, the

749
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 2: hardest hitter in the NFL. Could blitz, wasn't afraid to

750
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 2: mix it up, could go inside outside, And that's Mikey.

751
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, de bows look really good in the preseason.

752
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 6: Two look great. And because he only got a couple

753
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 6: of resps.

754
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 4: The other guy, I want to ask you about number

755
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 4: fifty two on the defensive line, Dude, how big and

756
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 4: how And that's the other thing is he's looked like

757
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 4: I followed his career from San Francisco kind of up

758
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 4: and down.

759
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 6: Obviously played better last.

760
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 3: Year with New York serious injuries early, but.

761
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 4: Like then you look at him this year and he's

762
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 4: like he's like a man out there, like an explosive,

763
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,240
Speaker 4: twitchy dude. You watch him in the Cincinnati game throwing

764
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 4: people on the ground, Like I feel like he's another

765
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 4: guy that deserves a shout out for him training cat.

766
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: He's when you see him stand next to someone like

767
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: doron paint and he makes pain look small.

768
00:35:59,320 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 6: How funny is that?

769
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: Right, all of a sudden you realize how large he is.

770
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: I think he's like for those who like, because I

771
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: have kids wreck at Ralph where it's every play I'm

772
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: a wreck it, and that's what it feels like. There

773
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 1: are times when he stands up to people like he

774
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: ruins plays like immediately he can have that kind of presence.

775
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: Whether that turns into sacks or like the types of

776
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: plays that like he makes personally in the stat line

777
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: or whether that opens it up for other people is

778
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: interesting to me. And whether he does this consistently I

779
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:40,879
Speaker 1: think will be the part that.

780
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 2: We're here's here's what I want fast to understand. And

781
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 2: so with a guy like Ken Law, with that power

782
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 2: that he has in his lower body in his hands,

783
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 2: so there was a couple of plays, and you mentioned

784
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 2: how he jumped off in Cincinnati. So let's imagine were

785
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 2: on the first down, first first or second down, we're

786
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 2: on situation, and he makes a tackle at the line

787
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 2: of scrimmage, or maybe he gets off of blocks and

788
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 2: it's a one or two yard game. So now it's

789
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 2: second and nine, is second and eight, and also continue

790
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 2: maybe it's third and seven, third and eight as opposed

791
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 2: to third and three. You don't get off that block,

792
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 2: you're the running back is able to pick up four

793
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 2: or five yards on first down. Now you're there operating

794
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 2: in second and mediums, third and mediums, he's going to

795
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 2: have an impact and that probably more than sack numbers.

796
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 2: He's gonna get us in a He's gonna get us

797
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 2: in a lot of situation where we earn the right

798
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 2: to rush the passer. You have to be really I

799
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 2: would say third and four more to truly even third

800
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 2: and four is kind of on the low end. Third

801
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 2: and five or more to really be able to truly

802
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 2: rush the passer.

803
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 4: Well, I think you saw that in the Cincinnati game, right,

804
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 4: like their ability to get him longer down in the distances.

805
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 4: You saw more exotic pressures and obviously just as a

806
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 4: point of junksupposition, like when you watch the Baltimore game

807
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 4: and they're in third and two, third and three, and

808
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 4: it's just it's hard to live in that world, right,

809
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 4: So I think you feel the effect of kin Law.

810
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 4: Dietrich Wise very similar player in that regard, just kind

811
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 4: of these big formidable yes, dude, formidable, great word.

812
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 5: Yeah.

813
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 6: I actually think Dietrich Wise looks more like a round.

814
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,720
Speaker 5: Big Barris on this booth room view. Formidable formid.

815
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, they are, like they have clearly prioritized size.

816
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it matters for both sides of the ball.

817
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: Like the Laramie Tunzel trade had a trickle down effect

818
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 1: on the entire offensive line that I think we're going

819
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: to see in real time.

820
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 3: What I'm hoping is for better.

821
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 1: Protection, less less realizations that Jade has to vacate the

822
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: pocket sooner. He can become more of a past first

823
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: quarterback than maybe he was a year ago, because his

824
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,439
Speaker 1: accuracy and his ability to throw the ball I think

825
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 1: wasn't as on display as it can be if he

826
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: gets the right type of protection packages. And on the

827
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: other side, we have what looks to be a much

828
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: more formidable line that hopefully can control the run on

829
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: first and second down, and all sudden we get into

830
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: all of these types of things where they have all

831
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: these different packages, which I can't wait to see how

832
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 1: they utilize a lot of different players as specialists this

833
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: year to generate a pass rush.

834
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 4: Okay, so that's the top of the roster there kind

835
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 4: of all the guys we've talked about. Anybody at the

836
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 4: bottom of the roster that surprised you, And I got

837
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 4: a follow up question once you kind of give me

838
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 4: a couple of.

839
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: Names, you know, Like we were talking about this earlier,

840
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 1: Like I felt like we came into a season where

841
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: there wasn't a lot of room for a lot of

842
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: younger guys to potentially nudge their way onto the roster.

843
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: I felt like that this was not a locked roster,

844
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 1: but it was going to take some conditions to kind

845
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: of change all of that. But there are a couple

846
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: of people that did really stand out to me. I

847
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: like Caho, the undrafted rookie lying backer. I thought did

848
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: a really good job.

849
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 6: You probably liked him, I did.

850
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 5: I did. I liked him.

851
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 6: He kind of plays like old school.

852
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:55,760
Speaker 5: I'm just saying I really liked him.

853
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 2: I thought Hamilton Antonio Habita, and I know we we

854
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 2: kind of it's gonna be hard to break in that

855
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 2: that cornerback room. But I thought he did some really

856
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 2: good job, really good things on the football field. And

857
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 2: we have to understand, I know you understand this, both

858
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 2: of you guys understanding it's not just about the fifty

859
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 2: three is also that seventy man rocks because you're you're

860
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 2: developing these guys for hey injuries down the road, with

861
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 2: the flexibility, be able to call guys up on game day,

862
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 2: guys that can cover kicks, produce if need be. Ja

863
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 2: Cory Brooks, Yeah, I thought he did some really think

864
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 2: good things. To Meler, He's he's really you know, put

865
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 2: himself into position to hey, maybe I'm just I'm.

866
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 5: The other receiver.

867
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: The other guy would bring up is Jalen Lane. I

868
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: think that he kind of walked in.

869
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 6: He's like a roster lock though, right.

870
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,919
Speaker 1: But like I think he walked in with he's gonna

871
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: be our punt returner.

872
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 3: At least that's the hope.

873
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 1: He's gonna be the punt returner and then because of

874
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: his speed, we'll find some things for him to do.

875
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 3: But we know who the.

876
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: Primary receivers are Terry Deebo, Noah Brown. There's just not

877
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of room on the field. Well,

878
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: because of some things that happened, Noah Brown's injury, Terry's injury,

879
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,919
Speaker 1: and then you know, whatever else was going on, right,

880
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: it gave him opportunities to do other things in camp.

881
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: And I thought it was quite noticeable to me that

882
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:28,439
Speaker 1: in the Ravens game, Luke McCaffrey benson it played Jane

883
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 1: Lane did not, So I like I took that as

884
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 1: a message of we saw some of the things that

885
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:37,879
Speaker 1: he's capable of, and maybe maybe I don't think it's

886
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: necessary because everybody's back in the fold and hopefully healthy,

887
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 1: that there might be more of an eye opening about

888
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: him about things he could do as opposed to maybe

889
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: what they thought he was just going to be entering

890
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 1: camp this year.

891
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's one hundred percent legitimate, because again,

892
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 4: like I was surprised with some of his rot running nuance,

893
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 4: you didn't really see at Virginia Tech. That offense is

894
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 4: kind of like rough to watch. They had poor quarterback play.

895
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 4: But something I want to ask both you guys that

896
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 4: I think is really interesting is like when you're so

897
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 4: like we did a fifty three man roster when we

898
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 4: were waiting to come on the show, right, kind of

899
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 4: just going through positions, and so you mentioned Al Caho, right,

900
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 4: and it's like Ali Caho versus Trent Scott versus Jerryman

901
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:18,399
Speaker 4: McNichols versus you know, Jacob Martin, and so you've got

902
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 4: all these different people that are kind of competing for

903
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 4: the bottom, you know, last four roster spots. Let's say,

904
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 4: and I'm not saying that I just threw out some names.

905
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 4: I'm not saying anything specifically about those guys, But how

906
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 4: do you compare it?

907
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 6: Is it?

908
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 4: And I'm sure you've been on a bunch of teams,

909
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 4: You've covered a bunch of teams, like how do they

910
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 4: make those decisions?

911
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 5: Here?

912
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 2: First and foremost positions that you need a little bit

913
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 2: more depth depth at because of history of the position,

914
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,840
Speaker 2: and you're going to suffer. It's probably a little bit

915
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 2: more catastrophic to deal with an offensive line injury as

916
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,720
Speaker 2: opposed to a I mean call a tight end injury.

917
00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 6: Oh, I feel like that's a little bit of a shot.

918
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 5: It's not, it's not. I was just saying, like.

919
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 4: You can survive it. But you can, you can find

920
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 4: a way different personnel groupings.

921
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we we we we we need an office

922
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 2: in lineman. That's they're too valuable. I think it's so

923
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 2: say you're gonna carry this team is gonna carry less

924
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:20,399
Speaker 2: linebackers than some other teams because we only play two

925
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 2: dollars two linebackers majority of the time, so there's not

926
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 2: a ton of us playing three.

927
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 3: Say they plan to play more three lineback.

928
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 2: Again earlier, right, yeah, he did, But are we going

929
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 2: to see that on a consistent basis? The region you

930
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 2: probably won't is because a lot of teams, there are

931
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 2: so many office there's so many three ride receiver sets

932
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 2: that you just unless you got some linebackers that can

933
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 2: truly fly and then you got versatil we got safeties

934
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 2: that can come in the box and kind of be

935
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 2: that like a big, big safety kind of.

936
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 6: A small wheel.

937
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 2: So that's that's those are those are things that that

938
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 2: coming into that.

939
00:43:58,239 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: I used a couple of other things here too, like

940
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: after just taking into taking into account like are they

941
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: going to carry three quarterbacks or not?

942
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 3: Are they just command I don't know, I don't know.

943
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: But that's when we talk about these position groups you

944
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 1: have to take that into account.

945
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 3: Are they going to do that?

946
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: Then it starts putting on the margins, maybe somebody you

947
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 1: wanted to keep, and you have to make a choice

948
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: between which position group is going to be short.

949
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 4: So my numbers are off on this. You know why

950
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 4: why I didn't put quarterbacks on here?

951
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 5: I mean, so you have quarter back when.

952
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 6: You have thirteen off No, I just had another one

953
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 6: extra one.

954
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 5: You can I hear your numbers.

955
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 4: You got the numbers on a position twenty three offensive

956
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 4: players and twenty five defensive players and four specialists before.

957
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: I account he counts beloor, he will be counted account.

958
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 2: So you got twenty twenty three offensive place twenty quarterbacks.

959
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,800
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, so now then that would get us to fifty. Right,

960
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 4: so I probably plus one. I'm a heavy one, is

961
00:44:58,120 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 4: what I would say.

962
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 5: So you got to find one. One gonna drop once more?

963
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 3: You have two quarterbacks making it what you have?

964
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 6: That's defensive players twenty five.

965
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 1: Twenty five, twenty five and three if you count below

966
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,800
Speaker 1: as a linebacker, and three specialists.

967
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,879
Speaker 4: All right, So just doing math math, bas not every

968
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 4: team does that.

969
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 5: The offense gets one more player.

970
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 1: Really, why how most of the time that is how

971
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: it goes at which position group a defense?

972
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:25,959
Speaker 6: That coach?

973
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 4: My guy, So is that is that the thing? It's

974
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 4: on the sheet it says, don't be surprised if they

975
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 4: carry one more offensive player. Is that your thing?

976
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 5: Yeah?

977
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty so twenty six and twenty six offense, twenty

978
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 2: four defense and three special.

979
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 4: But it's a defensive head coach. I feel like you're

980
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 4: going to get a little no.

981
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 5: This twenty six Do you tell us what you know?

982
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 5: Twenty six off?

983
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 1: Twenty four beating around the bush like you obviously know something.

984
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,479
Speaker 1: Why did you just say it?

985
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 5: So?

986
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 6: Twenty six twenty four is what you think?

987
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 5: I think it's twenty six offense.

988
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 4: I have a hard The defense was hard for me, man,

989
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 4: because you look at the defensive back I feel like you.

990
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 6: Got ten locks, right, yes, five.

991
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,720
Speaker 4: I carried five linebackers, which maybe is one heavy because

992
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 4: I thought, I think Kho makes the team. I think

993
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,359
Speaker 4: he played well enough for it. And then I got

994
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 4: ten defensive linemen. I got five safeties, five corners, so

995
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 4: ten DB's yeah, five linebackers and ten defensive linemen. Yeah,

996
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 4: Fletch doesn't like it.

997
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 6: Let's just shift an over the seat.

998
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 5: Because I don't. I think it's gonna be a little bit.

999
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 5: It's gonna be one one more offense.

1000
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 6: I mean you heard here first.

1001
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 3: Numbers. Well, so like how many offensive linemen.

1002
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 5: Do you have? Ten?

1003
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 4: Yeah? I remember we had had ten and then it

1004
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 4: had caused me going to pup though that's what I had, so.

1005
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 1: Nine, yes, nine, not to make a decision at a

1006
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 1: later date if that were to happen is nine and

1007
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: what six wide receivers?

1008
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 6: Yeah? That was That was also very tough for me.

1009
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 1: Because there's clearly four tight ends. It looks like there's

1010
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: four running backs. If it's two quarterbacks, that's where your

1011
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: that's where your margin is. Yeah, five or six receivers correct?

1012
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1013
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I don't know if you I don't know,

1014
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 4: we'll you guys talked about the receivers earlier. He said

1015
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 4: that was kind of a tough off can't battle to

1016
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,240
Speaker 4: watch because no one really asserted themselves.

1017
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:03,359
Speaker 6: And I would totally agree with you.

1018
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:07,840
Speaker 5: Yeah. I thought what I liked about Brooks was.

1019
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:13,839
Speaker 2: He may plays the contested catches way like he went

1020
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 2: out and there was a plate the other day he

1021
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 2: runs a five yard hitch uh corners over him, right

1022
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 2: all over him. Makes the Cats though, like you're not

1023
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:27,280
Speaker 2: gonna you're not always gonna get separation. He's a bigger

1024
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 2: body receiver something we don't have a ton of big

1025
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 2: body receivers. And from a developmental standpoint, you look at, hey,

1026
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 2: what can what can he turn out to be?

1027
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 4: To me, like I would look at him and say, like,

1028
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 4: I think he's talented, I think he's got some ability,

1029
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 4: but he's an undrafted free agent.

1030
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 6: I think you get him a practice squad. I don't

1031
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 6: think he's That's that's so said. I'm saying. So that's

1032
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:52,800
Speaker 6: kind of my thought there is like even though.

1033
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 5: Maybe you only carry five receivers, well.

1034
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 6: I have I have I have k I have Osborne

1035
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 6: making it. But that's I have that in red.

1036
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:00,760
Speaker 4: So I actually think my surprise thing will be surprised

1037
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:02,879
Speaker 4: if that six receivers from a different team.

1038
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 3: That's what I think too.

1039
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 1: That's if there if there is an addition from another team,

1040
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 1: it feels like it's that position group to me that

1041
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,879
Speaker 1: I think once we get through cutdown day around the league,

1042
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: all right, let's do quick season prediction.

1043
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 5: It will let you stay.

1044
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 1: All right, let's do some season prediction stuff here. What

1045
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 1: do you think of the NFC East. Let me let

1046
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,879
Speaker 1: me get that just general out of the way. Where

1047
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:29,839
Speaker 1: do you what does that look like to you this year?

1048
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be probably the There are

1049
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 2: three three really competitive teams in the NFC East. I

1050
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 2: take that back, two really competitive days in the NFCI.

1051
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 3: Think there might be three, but you might be.

1052
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 2: You've been on the Giant. I think Philly, You've got

1053
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 2: to give them their respect. There, the there, the you know,

1054
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,799
Speaker 2: the the target in the in the East, we're going

1055
00:48:55,880 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 2: to be extremely competitive. I think the Giants, the Cowboys

1056
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 2: guy so much going on with the Giants, Dave, they

1057
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,360
Speaker 2: can be competitive. They always competitive, so I wouldn't be

1058
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 2: surprised about time.

1059
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: I mean, they're going to be interesting for week one,

1060
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 1: not unlike with our defense, with some of the additions

1061
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: that we have, and I think stylistically we might be

1062
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 1: a little different. We have to see what they look like.

1063
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 1: You go look at them on paper, especially their front

1064
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,840
Speaker 1: Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns, Kevon Thibadeau will see what Abdol

1065
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 1: Carter is. I think they made great additions on their

1066
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: back end. Paulson Adebo Javon Holland on paper they're way

1067
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 1: better defensively than they were a year ago, and specifically upfront.

1068
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: It's going to be a really, really, really good test,

1069
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,879
Speaker 1: and then we'll see how their quarterback situation plays out

1070
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 1: through the year the most important part. But I'd be

1071
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 1: like for them, they use the first round pick on

1072
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: a quarterback who's not going to start in a week

1073
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 1: run unless something changes. And he was the best looking

1074
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: quarterback of the group. So at some point in time

1075
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 1: if things aren't going well, there's gonna be a drum

1076
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: beat that he's playing like it comes.

1077
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 6: From that old miss offense. I think that's gonna be

1078
00:49:58,640 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 6: a tough turn.

1079
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 4: You got you know, Russell Wilson, who I think is

1080
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 4: a borderland Hall of Fame candidate, but like doesn't look

1081
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 4: like that guy anymore. I again, like, I think the

1082
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 4: defense is going to be a problem. It's going to

1083
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 4: be a tough out defense because they can rush the passer.

1084
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 4: I think they can cover better on the back end.

1085
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 4: But the thing is, like, you got it. As much

1086
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 4: as it pains me to say this, sit next to

1087
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 4: you know, future Hall of Famer London Fletcher. This is

1088
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 4: an offensive driven league, right, so if you can't score

1089
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 4: points and if you don't have a quarterback, you're going

1090
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 4: to be an I don't care. You can hold them

1091
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 4: to three points like.

1092
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: This felt like to me the Patriots a little bit yeargo.

1093
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 1: I think their defense was very good, but they had

1094
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 1: no way of scoring points.

1095
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 5: And I think after a while.

1096
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, So they could be Dallas. I'm not sure, Well.

1097
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 6: What a lot of if they're good or like what.

1098
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 1: A lot of things like just do they have a

1099
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 1: run game? Yeah, you know, what is their run defense?

1100
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:48,879
Speaker 1: If THEA is going to continue to be the way

1101
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:53,839
Speaker 1: it's been, like a new coach, right, unusual circumstances by

1102
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:54,759
Speaker 1: which they got to it.

1103
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 3: I think there's just a lot going on there.

1104
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 5: You know.

1105
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: I think they have a lot of very good players, obviously,

1106
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: but I think it's just a lot one on there.

1107
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I got all the all those young guys

1108
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 4: on the offensive line. I do think though, like you

1109
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 4: look at like the explosive weapons that they've added, ceedee

1110
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 4: lamb pickens, like that feels like it could be have

1111
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 4: a little bit more teeth to it than it's had

1112
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:13,959
Speaker 4: in the past couple of years. They had that blue

1113
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 4: kid from LSU that kind of our Texas to kind

1114
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 4: of pass catching four two back, Like, I don't know, man,

1115
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 4: if that if Dak Prescott plays like you did two

1116
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 4: years ago, that could be a tough They could be

1117
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 4: a tough out offensively because again, like I think their

1118
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 4: defense is okay, but like it's a quarterback driven system, right, So,

1119
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 4: like he was a borderline MVP candidate a couple years ago.

1120
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 1: What do you think of the schedule the way, especially

1121
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: after we get through about the first month, that we're

1122
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,919
Speaker 1: just never playing at one o'clock anymore. Every games at night,

1123
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: We're going to Madrid Christmas Day, standalone games Monday night,

1124
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 1: Sunday night.

1125
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 6: No big smile, Fletcher, I think it's tough.

1126
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 2: Oh no, it's it's extremely tough. But the schedule is

1127
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 2: what it is. It's just you got to deal with it.

1128
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 2: Whatever time the game is, you just you get ready

1129
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,399
Speaker 2: to play that game. Ideally, yeah, we would all love

1130
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 2: one o'clock Sunday games, but weren't hide high demand. Man,

1131
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 2: the Jayden Daniels effect a bunch of prime It's exciting exactly.

1132
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:13,319
Speaker 2: So there's that's that's that's one of the things that

1133
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 2: you have to accept that, hey, we're considered one of

1134
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,799
Speaker 2: the better football teams in the league, and they want

1135
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:20,959
Speaker 2: to see us in prime time.

1136
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 4: I think the other thing, too, man, is like I

1137
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 4: trust this staff, like the way they handled the Arizona

1138
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 4: game last year, kind of staying out there, Like, I

1139
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 4: think they'll find edges in the schedule to make it

1140
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 4: easier on the players. And again, I think we do

1141
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 4: have a forward kind of problem solving staff. I think

1142
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 4: that's going to be extremely advantageous. So, like, yes, am

1143
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 4: I concerned about the schedule, as you guys know, I'm

1144
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 4: concerned everything. But that's how it was as a player,

1145
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 4: That's how I am as an analyst, right, But I

1146
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 4: do think that that's I think they'll find the best

1147
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 4: way to make me feel the best about.

1148
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 2: It profession Here's what I Here's one thing we haven't

1149
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:58,360
Speaker 2: talked enough enough about is No, we didn't win the

1150
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 2: Super Bowl last year, but a lot of teams are

1151
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 2: going to be gonna to knock us off to a

1152
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 2: great point. We're a twelve or five football team that

1153
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 2: made it to the NFC Championship Game that has gotten

1154
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:13,439
Speaker 2: a lot of let's call it off season hype or

1155
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 2: whatever attention you look at all the prime time guys,

1156
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 2: we're going to get everything's best shot, and.

1157
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,319
Speaker 1: We're going to be part of every media outlets, so

1158
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 1: like social media circles, they're gonna be a topic every week,

1159
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 1: win or lose. That's different about this team than it's

1160
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 1: been in previous year. So they're constantly going to be

1161
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:34,840
Speaker 1: in the national media cycle because of the expectations, because

1162
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:37,279
Speaker 1: of the quarterback, because of the season that came off

1163
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 1: of that. There's gonna be a tremendous amount of attention

1164
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 1: that's put on the teams here.

1165
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 6: And I don't know, like I've always felt like that

1166
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 6: was really hard.

1167
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 4: And maybe it's because I got burned or we got

1168
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 4: burned because you're on that team too, from twenty twelve

1169
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 4: to twenty thirteen. Yes, that's but like it's I think

1170
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 4: you got to learn how to handle success, like I

1171
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 4: remember my high schol football coach. You got to learn

1172
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 4: how to handle success like and I think jayde Daniels,

1173
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 4: Bobby Wagner, Zach Er, it'z all this Like there's one

1174
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:02,240
Speaker 4: of the questions on here is this is the oldest

1175
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 4: roster in the NFL. I think that's people looked at

1176
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:05,879
Speaker 4: as a negative. I think it's a good thing going

1177
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 4: to this year. I think it's a good thing.

1178
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 5: I agree, but do not bring twenty thirteen. Okay, so Logan,

1179
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 5: you and I were on that team. Yeah you know

1180
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 5: that was some stuff.

1181
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 6: No, yeah, other stuff. But what I'm saying is like.

1182
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 5: That impacted everything that happened out.

1183
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 4: But I think that's a good example, like of like

1184
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 4: Dargy three as an example, and we know he's a

1185
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:26,600
Speaker 4: different kind of cat obviously, but he came into the

1186
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 4: limelight and had a really hard time managing that in

1187
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 4: the context of the team. And I just hope that

1188
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 4: there's enough veteran leadership here again because I like to

1189
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:34,240
Speaker 4: worry about stuff.

1190
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:36,319
Speaker 6: Man, I'm a warrior. Can we handle it?

1191
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 5: Can we handle it?

1192
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,320
Speaker 6: I can? I mean I'm not doing it second handle it.

1193
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 5: Here's what I'll say. Jaden is so will so grounded.

1194
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 6: Man, I love it. Preach flesh.

1195
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 5: He is so.

1196
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:51,760
Speaker 6: I'm feeling better already my blood pressure.

1197
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 5: He is so grounded.

1198
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 6: It's like a nursery.

1199
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:58,799
Speaker 2: Focused on all the things he needs to do to improve. Yeah,

1200
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 2: he Rookie of the Year doing all the different things

1201
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 2: he did, But how can I get better?

1202
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:04,839
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1203
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 5: What are the things that I need to work on?

1204
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 2: What were the tendencies I had, the weaknesses, all the

1205
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 2: different things that I did, and I mean just he

1206
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 2: continues to have that same type of humility that they

1207
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 2: had from the first moment he step to this building.

1208
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 2: So when you have him, you got other leaders like

1209
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:26,720
Speaker 2: that part you got DQ. Really they said the standard

1210
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:31,239
Speaker 2: of about Hi, we haven't arrived. Yeah, we did some

1211
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 2: good things, but we have not arrived. We have more

1212
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 2: that we more levels that we can get to.

1213
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:38,880
Speaker 1: And somebody who's just been in the media world forever,

1214
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 1: like things were a little noisy this summer, noisier than

1215
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 1: I kind of thought they would be based on the

1216
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:45,839
Speaker 1: loster they were bringing in. And it's why, just kind

1217
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 1: of circling back to the beginning, I'm glad this Terry

1218
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:50,719
Speaker 1: stuff is over because it puts that to bed. That

1219
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 1: is not over. There's no more talking about it anymore.

1220
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 1: He's on board for here now into the future, and

1221
00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:59,320
Speaker 1: we can put that behind us and get back in

1222
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:01,879
Speaker 1: the place where we were, which was everybody was rowing

1223
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 1: the boat the same way. It was just a little

1224
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 1: noisy this summer, and I'm glad some of that noise

1225
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 1: is clearing up before we get to the Giants.

1226
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 5: Week one, I think.

1227
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,439
Speaker 6: We're all glad, right, I mean, I mean I wasn't

1228
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 6: here for that segment. I got to listen to it

1229
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:12,879
Speaker 6: in the in the back over there.

1230
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 3: How do we do?

1231
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:13,799
Speaker 4: It?

1232
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:14,319
Speaker 6: Was pretty good.

1233
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 5: Shocked about it.

1234
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:23,359
Speaker 6: I'm stoked, you know what I mean.

1235
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 4: I think when you look at a guy that can

1236
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:26,880
Speaker 4: stretch the field vertically, has some route running nuance, and

1237
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:29,280
Speaker 4: again like has a good relationship with Jayden.

1238
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 5: Like.

1239
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 4: One of the things we talked about this offseason was

1240
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 4: that receiver battle, and part of it was guys were

1241
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 4: having to step into rolls because Terry and Noah weren't here.

1242
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 4: So now it's like, hey, don't have to worry about that.

1243
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 4: We've got guys that are going to make plays and

1244
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 4: do good things. And think about that three deep now

1245
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:45,400
Speaker 4: with Noah and Debo and how they can be so
