9
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: to camp. We're beginning to end the speculation. Were starting

10
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: to make some hard assessments on some of the things

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: that we talked about the last couple of months. It's

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: just different when when you read things and you're you're

13
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: kind of hearing reports in second hand versus actually, you know,

14
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: putting on the TV and seeing guys in uniform taking snaps,

15
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: throwing balls, catching balls, moving around it. It's uh, it's

00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: going on there, you flip on the TV and see,

20
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: oh he's and I think I think Allen Robinson's We're

21
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: Number twelve, which caught me for caught me off guard

22
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: a little bit there, but fin it's like it's like

23
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: all new presents. You get to open them all up. Yeah. Absolutely, Um,

24
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,559
Speaker 1: it's kind of fun. It's kind of fun to see

25
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: some of the guys and even though a lot of times,

26
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: like we look at you talked about direct TV two twelve,

27
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: NFL Network, we're seeing some of the b roll and

28
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: to just get excited over the b roll, it's kind

29
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: of crazy. You know, we're seeing guys go through individual

30
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: badge rules, but yet it feels like football is upon us.

31
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: So I'm excited. I'm excited to see it's close. All right,

32
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: We've got a lot of ground to cover today. On

33
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: the episode, you're gonna talk a little bit about Julio

34
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: Jones in his situation with the Atlanta Falcons. I know

35
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: you've had some thoughts there, but we'll get into that.

36
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: We'll have our our Rookie Report presented by Castro Ledge

37
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: what's going on with these rookies? A couple of interesting

38
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: storylines there, and then one of my favorite parts of

39
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: today's episode, we're gonna go division by division and pick

40
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: out our favorite training camp battle. We're looking forward to

41
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: following inside those divisions and then and we'll finish it

42
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: up with what I think will be the five most

43
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: in packful rookie classes by teams. So five teams is

44
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: gonna end up playing a lot of rookies this year,

45
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: and I think they'll have an immediate impact. So we

46
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: got a lot of ground to cover here, Buck, But

47
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: let's start here with Julio Jones and the Atlanta Falcons

48
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: in that whole situation. I know you've you haven't been

49
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: shy about your thoughts there. Oh No. I just think

50
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: it's a very interesting situation with the Atlanta Falcon and

51
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: what they eventually have to do with Julio Jones. And

52
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 1: my estimation Julia Jones is their best player, is that

53
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: most is their most important offensive player. And even though

54
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: Mary Bryan is coming off the league MVP a season ago,

55
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: I think most of us would say that Julia Jones

56
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: is the guy that elevates Matt Ryan, makes Matt Ryan

57
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: a special player that I'm consider them to be. I

58
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: think we need at Ntfalcon. Uh, there are a lot

59
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: of things to consider, understand. Not wanting to make the

60
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: president of having to redo someone deal with three years remaining.

61
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: But you sit here with your best players sitting out

62
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: of camp, And if I'm the Atlanta Falcon and I

63
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: believe we have an opportunity to make a real push

64
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: to win the division and be one of the top teams,

65
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm mine restructing the contract of

66
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: my best player because I believe my best player has

67
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: earned the right to kind of be paid like that. Yeah,

68
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting. I'm kind of conflicted on this

69
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: because you mentioned it. There's a lot of time left

70
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: on the deal, so you don't want to set that precedent.

71
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: On the other side of it, I get Julio Jones saying, Hey,

72
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: if you don't want to give me a new deal,

73
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: that's that's okay. But I'm not coming to training camp.

74
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: And as a veteran player who's established himself a lot

75
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: of times, I'm cool with, Hey, you know, if you

76
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: don't want to come to training camp. But I think

77
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: we can overrate that a little bit. Getting on the

78
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: same page with Matt Ryan, I don't think it's going

79
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 1: to be that difficult to have so much history together.

80
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: I think they'll pick up right where they left off.

81
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: The one concern I would have it is just when

82
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: you've got some durability concerns with Julio, hopefully hopefully he's

83
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: got a nice, a nice workout schedule there to keep

84
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: him up to par, because we see it all the

85
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: time when guys come in after missing some training camp,

86
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: you get some soft tissue injuries. So I just hope

87
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: that you know he's he's doing what he needs to

88
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: do off the field so that when he comes in

89
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: he can get up to full speed. He knows he's

90
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: got to come out and put up a huge year.

91
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: They're not going to pay him right now. He needs

92
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: to produce like he has in the past, and then

93
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: that big pay they'll probably come a year from now.

94
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: So missing training camp from you know, being on the

95
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: same page in chemistry, and I'm okay with that. I

96
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: don't think that's that big a deal to me. It's

97
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: just making sure when he gets in there you have

98
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: a game plan in place to kind of get him

99
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: up to speed and get him caught up without suffering

100
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: one of those soft tissue injuries. Yeah, I mean, I

101
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: think that is important. I think the big thing for

102
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: Julio and for the Falcons look a ready made forty

103
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: seven million guaranteed the first three years of the deal

104
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: that comes out the right at allow sixteen million, which

105
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: is kind of like, uh, maybe close to market value

106
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: based on some of the recent deals or whatever. I

107
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: think his biggest contention is this year in base sality's

108
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: making ten point five. Next year is like twelve point five,

109
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: and maybe it goes up to fourteen the third year.

110
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: Their money is not guaranteed until the season. I think

111
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: they actually can probably incentivize the deal. Uh, they can

112
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: sweep the pot a little bit with some easy to

113
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: earn and sent hims. Uh. Last year, I want to say,

114
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: you only hit three touchdowns, So maybe you put some

115
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: escalators in there if he gets five, seven, ten touchdowns,

116
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: or if you tie some of those things to offensive performance.

117
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: Last year they didn't have one of the top offenses.

118
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: But say you put that, UM put the money ties

119
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: too at the improves to set u such points per

120
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: game when it comes to scoring offense or total offense

121
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: or some of those things. I think is a way

122
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: to satisfy what he wants, which is there a few

123
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: more coins in his pocket until you can get to

124
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: next year where you can really redo the deal, and

125
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: I don't think you've change precedent by doing that kind

126
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: of stuff. Now it's it's a good thought there. I

127
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: also think one of the point you need to we

128
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: need to bring up is hey, more reps for for

129
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley here, Let's get him up to speed, get

130
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: him on the same page with your quarterback and Matt

131
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: Ryan and uh, if you can get Calvin Ridley clicking.

132
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: And you've already got Mohammed Sanu, who's a steady eddie

133
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: number two. Um, you've got Justin Hardy, he was a

134
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: good route runner. And now you get Julio Jones in there.

135
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: You've got a young emerging Tighten and Austin Hooper. We

136
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: know about the two backs, DeVante Freeman, Tevin Coleman. This

137
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: offense is as good as any in the league. So

138
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: I think they can be a little bit. You know,

139
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: let's let's be patient with Julio. I don't want to

140
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: be here, he doesn't want to be there. But eventually, hey,

141
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: let's let's get in in time for this first week

142
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: of the season to get home. And I think this

143
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: very easily could be the top offense in the NFL.

144
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: Oh I absolutely believe you could be the top offensive

145
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: UH team and and then if we saw it happen

146
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: just two seasons ago. I think as a matter of

147
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: Steve Starkeys and getting comfortable understanding what he has at

148
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: his disposal and then finding a way to consistently put

149
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: the hands UH to the ball in the hands of

150
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: the playmakers. When he does that, if he's able to

151
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: let Julio Jones and Uh some of those other guys

152
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: like Mohammedan Knew, like Kevin really if they can cook

153
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: on the perimeter, I think the Atlanta Falcons are a

154
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: scary offense because you have two running backs that can

155
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: really attack him in a variety of different ways at

156
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: the backfield. One other rookie I'm looking forward to watching

157
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: their Russell Gauge, probably gonna make the team as a

158
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: special team He was their sixth round pick out of

159
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: l s U, the best really the best cover special

160
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: teams player in last year's draft. But I also have

161
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: some big playability at the receiver position. We've seen these

162
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: LSU receivers year after year become better pros than they

163
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: were in college. That's kind of a down the line

164
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: name to keep an eye on here in training camp

165
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: and the fact that he's a rookie leads me into

166
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: our Rookie Reports presented by Castroll edge Buck. Looking at

167
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: a couple of rookie storylines right now and none bigger,

168
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: then what's going on in Baltimore's training camp? I tweeted

169
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: out a picture the other day. Uh, I just thought

170
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: it was funny because you had on the Baltimore Ravens

171
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: dot com website. You had in the right column there's

172
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: about ten different article posts. So you've got this the

173
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: one liners where you can click and link to those articles.

174
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: And I believe it said Joe Flacco, you know, fantastic

175
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: in first full practice. So that's that's one of ten

176
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: little blurbs on the right side. And then the whole

177
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: page is filled up with a picture of Lamar Jackson

178
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: with the with huge block letters underneath the Lamar Jackson

179
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: way ahead of the curve. So that old phrase of

180
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: picture is worth a thousand words, never more true than

181
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: right there. Yet, Joe Flacker looks excellent. You can you see,

182
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: oh I see a little little print or there on

183
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: the right side. Oh hey, there's a life size pitcher

184
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: of Lamar Jackson. So that's what's going on there in

185
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens camp. Yeah, I mean, I think with the

186
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: Ravens there's a lot of excitement. I think for the

187
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: first time the defense can look over the offense and

188
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: see a player in Lamar Jackson that adds some juice

189
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: to the offense. For the last three or four years,

190
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: and really, since they've lost Great right, they really haven't

191
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: had a sizzle player on offense. Joe Flacker was the

192
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: guy who I think is better suited to be a

193
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: game manager more so than the primary playmaker, and they

194
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: haven't had enough guys on offense that can make plays.

195
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: Um kind of off the script. I know Steve Smith

196
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: own NFL never were colleague with a guy that was

197
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: fantastic for them, but he was the older player. He

198
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily a dynamic playmaker at the end of his career.

199
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: I believe that Lamar jacking is probably the best playmaker

200
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: that they've had there in some time. Naturally, there is

201
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: some intrigue in terms of what will he eventually do

202
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: for this team, How would they get him on the field.

203
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: I know they're talking about some two quarterback things, but

204
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I think Joe Flacco

205
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 1: is on the clock. How long can this offense go

206
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: with Joe Flacco running it? Can Bay score enough points

207
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: for him to hold on Twitter's job. If not, I

208
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: think maybe by the middle of the season we can

209
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: see Lamar Jackson start with some packages and eventually become

210
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens quarterback one. I don't know if you've

211
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: encountered this, but there is actually there's a loyal Joe

212
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: Flacco faction out there and Twitter they are a loyal

213
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: bunch now. And I know you've seen this, so I'm

214
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: gonna give you some ammunition. I haven't used it, but

215
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of like you have it in case

216
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: of emergency break glass. This is kind of my my

217
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,599
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco argument here because look, he played well, he

218
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: got all that money, and then it hasn't been successful.

219
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: You've seen all the numbers been thrown out there. There

220
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: five team basically since the Super Bowl, I've been to

221
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I believe in what four the last five years,

222
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco's production is literally among the worst in the league.

223
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: So if you point those things out, what's brought up

224
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: as well? They haven't drafted well, they've missed picks, they

225
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: haven't put the right weapons around him, you know, those

226
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: are the arguments that come your way, which to me

227
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: is just a perfect it's evidence. It's perfect evidence for

228
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: what we talk about on this show all the time.

229
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: Trucks or trailers. Does your quarterback bring up the level

230
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: of play of everybody around him or is he dependent

231
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: on the level of play of everybody around him? And

232
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: I think with Joe Flacco, how do you argue it

233
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: any other way? Buck, When you put all the pieces

234
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: are perfect around him, he can execute at a high level.

235
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: They want a championship, no question, But when you missed

236
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: on some players and you need him to make other

237
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 1: people better, to make guys like you know, Chris Moore

238
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: uh elevate their play, the guys they've had in the

239
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: past that haven't worked out there, you know, Brashod perramounts

240
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: his own deal. I think that was that was definitely

241
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: a miss. But some of these other pieces, he hasn't

242
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: done anything to make those guys better than what they are,

243
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: which to me tells us he is a very very

244
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: highly paid trailer in this league. He is not a truck.

245
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: And I think that is the big decision. I think

246
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: that's the thing that we spend the off season talking

247
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: about when you overplay the quarterback based on the physician

248
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: and not necessarily what the player is, it can put

249
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: you in a position where you really can't support him

250
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: as he is uh kind of built to play the game.

251
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: And so with Baltimore, I think the big thing in

252
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: Baltimore Baltimore major decision to pay Joe Flacco. They made

253
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: it with Joe Flacco will help elevate the offense, will

254
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: commit the resources to the defense. The defense and Joe

255
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: Flacco will be enough to get us to where we

256
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: need to go. And I simply just don't think that,

257
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: you know, the Baltimore Raisins made a wise decision when

258
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: they did it, but look, he ultimately had the hammer,

259
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: he won the super Bowl. He played really well in

260
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 1: the postseason. So it's hard to move on from a

261
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: super Bowl winning quarterback. Particularly when did the Baltimore Ravens.

262
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: You moved off from Trent Dilford and it didn't go well.

263
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: I felt like there are a lot of mitigating factors

264
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: that led to Joe Flacko getting paid. Nonetheless, you expect

265
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: more from a quarterback of his nature of his paid rade.

266
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: The Baltimore Ravens are now trying to right that long

267
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: by having Lamar Jackson in the fall and eventually hoping

268
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: that Lamar Jackson can take it over. And we talked

269
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: about all the time that formula, it's not a secret.

270
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: The best formula for success in the NFL right now

271
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: is if you can get a competent doesn't have to

272
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: be a superstar, but if you can get a competent

273
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: quarterback on a rookie deal and you can get that

274
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: cost control for four or five seasons, uh, and then

275
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: you can afford to spend your money elsewhere and build

276
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: up the rest of that roster, you have got a

277
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: real chance. You've got a huge edge of everybody else

278
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: who's having to designate all that money the quarterback position.

279
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: So it doesn't take a genius to figure out you

280
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: got out from under Joe Flacco's contract. Next season, You've

281
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: got Lamar Jackson, hopefully has played enough this year, you

282
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 1: have enough confidence in him that he can start from

283
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: week one in two thousand nineteen, and now you've got

284
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: a pretty talented roster around him. With what they've done

285
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: the last couple of years have been a little bit

286
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: more aggressive in free agency. They've got some weapons now offensively, Uh,

287
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: they've developed both in the trenches on each side of

288
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. They've got depth a corner. Now

289
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: you've got some money to go out and even spend

290
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: more once you take that Joe Flacco contract off the book.

291
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: So to me, this year for the Ravens, obviously it's

292
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: important for hardball they get back to the postseason and

293
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: and uh put to bed any rumors about him potentially

294
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: losing his job. But this is about two thousand nineteen

295
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: for me. When you look at this Ravens team, can

296
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: you get Lamar Jackson up to speed to be your guy?

297
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: Day one, two thousand nineteen, and then you've got the

298
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: formula right in front of you, the same form that

299
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: we've seen the Rams, the Eagles. We saw first obviously

300
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: with the Seahawks, what they did with Russell Wilson on

301
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: his rookie deal. It's all there for the Baltimore Ravens

302
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: to follow that same path. Yeah, it is all right there.

303
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: Like the Baltimore Ravens just kind of follow that path

304
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what exactly he needs, what you

305
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: need to put around him in I believe that's the refugee.

306
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: We've seen it. You talked about the rams we saw

307
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 1: with the Eagles. We're seeing it right now with the

308
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. Figure out that first season, what can your

309
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: quarterback you? What does he need to support him? And

310
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 1: then has been the next offseason making sure he has

311
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: all those weapons and more times than that, you'll see

312
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: tremendous growth from their quarterback from year one of you two.

313
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: The Baltimore Ravens are in the uh kind of a

314
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: tricky predicament of trying to figure that out with Lamar Jackson.

315
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: But I do believe if things aren't going well for

316
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: the Ravens by the midway point, you will see number

317
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: eight troyal on to the field and number eight will

318
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: trying to the field heavily um as the quarterback extensively

319
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: as the number one, and they're trying to figure out

320
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: what they need to go forward. No question, your number

321
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: two has been the has been the aiming point for

322
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: those teams that we mentioned you through the Bears in

323
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: there as well. Need to mention them goold call by you.

324
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: But I think that's the that's the road map there,

325
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: and I do think we see Lamar Jackson this season

326
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: sooner than later. I'll get to that a little bit

327
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: later on in my five teams that will be impacted

328
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: by this rookie class. Buck. While we're talking here in

329
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: our our Rookie Report presented by Castro Allege, let's get

330
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: to a rookie not named Lamar Jackson you're excited to

331
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: see finally hit the field here in training camp. Well,

332
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's kind of easy. I want

333
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: to go to Kuon Barkley. And the reason take Kuon

334
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: Barkley is the guy I'm most excited about is I

335
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: really believe that the Giants offenens the Giants team is

336
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: not as bad as it was we were led to

337
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: the league based on last year. I think that made

338
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: some very very solid improvements to the offensive line. I

339
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: think getting Odell Beckham Jr. Back will certainly add about

340
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: ten points to the offense. But say Kwan Barkley is

341
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: the guy that can take it from good to great

342
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: this season. And part of the reason he can do

343
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: that is not his um what he adds as a runner,

344
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: but his ability to catch the ball out the backfield

345
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: will make things easier for Eli Manning. So rather than

346
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: just waiting on number thirteen to open up or kind

347
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: of hoping on having England and Stolen Shepherd to win

348
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: their one on one on the um over the middle

349
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: of the field, and when they have one on ones

350
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: on the perimeter, he can target his running and back

351
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: against linebackers and safeties and Spade. And I think for

352
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: Eli Manning at this stage of his career, he needs

353
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: all the health and he can get. I believe the

354
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: Giants have enough playmakers a guy that can make things

355
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: happen on catching run play that they can do a

356
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: lot of damage in the NFC East. I'm excited to

357
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: see se Kwon Barkley and what he can add to

358
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: this lineup. I think a lot of people have piggyback

359
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: you on this one, just in terms of the expectations

360
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: for this Giant's team coming off the year they had

361
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: last year. I can't remember a team that coming off

362
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: such a poor season where the expectations were as high

363
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: as they are for the Giants, And I think a

364
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: lot of that has to do with Sae Kwon Barkley

365
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: joining Odell Beckham, keeping Odell Beckham healthy, and everybody expects

366
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna see a different old school version of Eli

367
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: Manning and and I'm with you. I think what sake

368
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: one is gonna do in the passing game is going

369
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: to be the big difference with this team. I think

370
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: some people and I look, I gave him a huge grade.

371
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: I love I love him as a player. But I

372
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: hear I hear a lot of talk about his his power,

373
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: his physicality, and I'm like, that's not that's not really

374
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: who he is. I mean, he is a home run hitter.

375
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: He's gonna be somebody's gonna definitely have an impact in

376
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: the passing game. But I think some people are saying

377
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna bring this violent, physical edge to the to

378
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: the running game here for the Giants. I don't know

379
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: if that's in this Serley who by No, I don't

380
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: think he's that. I think what you have to do

381
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: is you have to categorize into the playmaker. And I think, um,

382
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: if it came down the pure running ability, I don't

383
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: know if you were rank as the number one running

384
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: back in last year's class, But when it came to

385
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: everything that he brought to the table, I believe that

386
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: is what made him a top player, a player that

387
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: some would say he was the best player in the draft.

388
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: I think he's kind of like the new school running back.

389
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: And when you think of the top running backs in

390
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: the National Football League now, you think about Levin Bill,

391
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: David Johnson, Tyd Burrell, and so these new school running

392
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: backs are two fifteen pounds plus, big running backs that

393
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: can do the everyday chores that you want your runner

394
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: to do, but they also add something in the passing game,

395
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: and they are special in the passing game. I believe

396
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: Barkley fits more of that mode than the old school

397
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: hammerhead uh type that's gonna plunge it up into twenty

398
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: five or thirty times on isles and off tow bo. Yeah,

399
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: that's that to me. That's what he is to You're

400
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: gonna see. You're gonna see chunk plays from him in

401
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: the run game in the past game, and I'm talking

402
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: forty fifty yard plays running the ball, catching the ball

403
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: out the backfield. I don't think he's gonna be somewhere

404
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: that's just gonna be kind of a Leonard four nett

405
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: a lean on you, you know, bang on your all

406
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: game long and hopefully that pays off later. I think

407
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna see that's what we saw at Penn State.

408
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna see some negative runs. You're gonna see some

409
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: one and two yard runs. But then he's gonna pop loose.

410
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: You're gonna see some of those big home runs. That's

411
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: what you get there with se Kwon Barkley. Can't wait

412
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: to watch him. I'm gonna go in the same same stadium,

413
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: just a different team. Sam Donald taking the field buck

414
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: because I don't know if there was a player that

415
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: that kind of grew more through the off season. You know,

416
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: from what you heard early on with the practice there

417
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: with the Jets to where he ended up at the

418
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: end of the off season, it looked like he made

419
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 1: just tremendous improvements. So now can he take it up

420
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: another level when you get to training camping and can

421
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: he show enough during these training camp practices and during

422
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: the preseason to win this job outright? You know when

423
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 1: they when they first got in there for that first

424
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: mini camp, that seemed like a you know, look, this

425
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: is not gonna happen for him. It's a red shirt

426
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: ear take your time, but we're confident in him. And

427
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 1: then the way it ended up was, hey, he's he's

428
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: got a legitimate shot to trot out their Week one

429
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: with the starters. So I can't wait to see Sam

430
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: Donald and if he can take over the range of

431
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 1: this offense. Yeah, I see. There is a lot of

432
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: excitement about Sam Donald in the building. When you talk

433
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: to players, have a chance of all the Jamal Adams

434
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: this offseason, you talked about little Man. The kid has

435
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: exactly what you look for, a great worker. Didn't say

436
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: much to kind of put his nose to the Grosston.

437
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: You see the talent. He can make all the throws.

438
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: More importantly, he's a guy's guy. He's a natural leader.

439
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: Um his teammates to gravitate towards him, and I think

440
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position, sometimes even more than the physical

441
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: that stuff matters. At the end of the day, that

442
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: quarterback has to get the rest of the guys on

443
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: the squad to play for him, to play with him

444
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 1: and to do the things that um, they need to

445
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: do to make enough place within the score points. I

446
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: think Sam Donald has that kind of building and when

447
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: it comes down to it, we both believe that he

448
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: had a little magic with game. It's not always want

449
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 1: to look pretty, but he finds a way to make

450
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: it happen, particularly in those clutch moments. I think Sam

451
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: Donald's ability to do those things might get him an

452
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: opportunity to be the starting quarterback when the Jet take

453
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: the field Week one. It's uh, it's gonna be fun

454
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: to watch. Teddy Bridgewater another name to keep in mind there.

455
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: Looks like he had a pretty good offseason as well,

456
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: so more than more than two guys competing for that

457
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: job there with the Jets. I gotta say that I

458
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: do like Sam Donald's chances to try out their Week

459
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: one as the starter. All Right, that was our rookie

460
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: report presented by Castro Edgebuck. Let's get into Let's get

461
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: some training camp battles here at division by division, let's

462
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: go through. If we have the same one, it's no

463
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: big deal. If we've got different ones, we can discuss

464
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: them quickly. But just one training camp battle in each

465
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: division that we're looking forward to following here, why don't

466
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: we Why don't you kick us off here with your

467
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: NFC North position battle. Now, this is gonna be a

468
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: little but I'm gonna go to the Green Bay Packers

469
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna look at the why I received the

470
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,239
Speaker 1: corps and we know who their starters are. Gonna be

471
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: like it's been like this for a little while. They're

472
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: gonna have Dife, Adams and Ronacov as the number one

473
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: and number two. But the third guy is really the

474
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: most important guy in this mix because they do so

475
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 1: many different things from a loven personnel sys and when

476
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: you look at their depth, Chard ganglo Yancey, Geronimo Allison,

477
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: Jamal Moore, Trevor Davis, Marcus deld Scandling and then Ecconymius St. Brown,

478
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: all of those guys that in contention to maybe move

479
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: up to the number three spot, and the guy that

480
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: I really had my eyes on, it's St. Brown because

481
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: when I look at St. Brown, St. Brown has all

482
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: the stuff that you look for as a big body

483
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: playmaker traditionally that has success in that offense. And for

484
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: whatever reason, he slipped, But I think if we see

485
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: him played really really well in camp, I think he

486
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: can leave Brock everybody and end up being a very

487
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: key contributed to this offense. I'm excited to see what

488
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: he does at six four turns and fifteen pounds with

489
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: big time attributes. And we've seen Geronimo Allison, you know,

490
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: make some splash plays there for this team. He'll be

491
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: in that mix. As you mentioned, Marcus Veldez Scantling. He

492
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 1: might be. He's one of those guys. Every year when

493
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 1: you're a scout, you go to these games and you've

494
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: got to keep an eye on the back end roster guys,

495
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,479
Speaker 1: which are rounds five through seven current picks, as well

496
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: as guys that are on the roster bubble. He's gonna

497
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: be somebody's gonna jump out because you're gonna see him

498
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter going up against some crappy corners

499
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: Buck and he is going to run right by him. Yeah,

500
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: he'll be definitely somebody that's circled uh during the preseason.

501
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: I guarantee that he can fly UH. And Jimon Moore's

502
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: is a big, physical receiver. Their their fourth round pick

503
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: out of Missouri, So that's a great battle to keep

504
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: an eye on. I'm gonna go to another team inside

505
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 1: that division though. I'm gonna go to the Minnesota Vikings,

506
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: and this is a position battle that's really a luxury

507
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: to have. When you look at the corner depth that

508
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: they have. They're in great shape, as good as any

509
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: team in the in the league. But they're gonna have

510
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: a good battle here for the nickel position. McKenzie Alexander

511
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 1: been a little bit of a rocky road for him

512
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: early in his career, coming out of out of Clemson.

513
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: He's gonna be competing with Mike Hughes for that nickel spot.

514
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: Mike Hughes can play inside, can play outside. He was

515
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: their first round pick this year. We know they've got

516
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: Trey Wayne's and Xavier roads established, but that third corner

517
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: spot coming down to those two guys and then the

518
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 1: man who never ages in Terence Newman, still kicking around

519
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: there in case and then neither one of those guys

520
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: take control of that position, you've got to fall back

521
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: there in Terence Newman. Yeah. I mean it's a very interesting,

522
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: uh scenario. Mike Hughes with the first round teal and

523
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 1: make used to me, I thought, with a guy who

524
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: could have been a top fifteen pick based on how

525
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: he played the game, and you see up and McKenzie Alexander.

526
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: I think mckensie Alexander has tried to feel the role

527
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: as the nickel has been a little up and down.

528
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 1: And I think what we saw in the divisional round

529
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: of the playoffs to new And saying you got attacked

530
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: him a little bit um when it came down to

531
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: money time and so and Mike he was. I think

532
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: he's getting a more polished player, a more verst the player,

533
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: someone that is smooth in re fined. I absolutely expect

534
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: him to be the nickel corner and I do believe

535
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: in time he's going to replace Trey Wayne's on the

536
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: corner because I think he has that kind of talent

537
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: and I think he certainly could be upgraded the position. Yeah,

538
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: we're both big into his game. We love visiting with

539
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: him too during the draft process. Get a good swagger

540
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: about him. I dug it, no question our NFC South,

541
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: give me a position battle bucks. I'm gonna go to

542
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: the Carolina fancies and if it's all on Cam Newton

543
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: to find a way to get it done. I think

544
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: the battle between DJ More and Tory Smith will be

545
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,959
Speaker 1: critical as they remake this offense. With more of Turner,

546
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: you can see more vertical drows, more bank cakes, uh

547
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: steam routes, things where you know you can have a

548
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: physical pass catcher may played, and also some of these

549
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: things where you can see guys catch the ball on

550
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: the move and make it happen. I believe this is

551
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: perfect for DJ More. I think DJ Moore we're the

552
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: pass and aging Tory Smith will make some play. He'll

553
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: eventually be the starter. But I'm curious to see how

554
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 1: this plays out. As they are kind of climbing their

555
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: way in north Turner's offense. I'm excited to see that.

556
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 1: But also keep a name on the guy that I

557
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: know that north Turner has liked for a long time,

558
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: Jarius Right coming over from Minnesota, kind of signed him

559
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: under the radar if he was le to go by

560
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: the Viking look. North Turner has always loved this guy

561
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: at the number three receiver, Keithan Eylan Jerry's right and

562
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: making a move and trying to camp up the charts.

563
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what what north Turner's offense in

564
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 1: two thousand and eighteen looks like, because he is he

565
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: gonna adjust to kind of the times here and be creative.

566
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of versatile pieces there in that offense.

567
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: I'm anxious to see what it looks like. I'm gonna

568
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: go to Tampa though. In the running back position. You know,

569
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones is talented as anybody coming into this draft process.

570
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: When I first evaluated on tape Buck, before we got

571
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: to any of the offseason stuff. There's a top fifteen

572
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 1: type player. Uh now did not do well in the

573
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: in the postseason and the run up to the draft

574
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: not not good health wise, workout wise, interview wise wasn't great.

575
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: So he ended up sliding down into the second round.

576
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 1: But extremely extremely talented. So can he win this job? Outright?

577
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: You've got your quiz Rodgers, You've got Charles Simms, got

578
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber. He's to me easily the most talented to

579
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: that bunch. He should win this job. But he's got

580
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: to go out there and do it. Yeah, you have

581
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 1: to go and do it. He has to take the job. Um.

582
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: I think m big counting on him because when I

583
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 1: look at Charles Sims and I think they liked with

584
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: some of the stuff that Charles Sims can you in

585
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: the past game. I just believe that Rojo has an

586
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: opportunity to be a little more complete than all of

587
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 1: those guys. And if you think about Rojo being able

588
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: to come in and I know they don't have Jameis

589
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: West in the first three games of the season, but

590
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: they need someone that can be a safety voute out

591
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: the backfield that can make plays in the past game

592
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: where they take away Mike Evans and Sean Jackson. Rojoe

593
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: can be that player. I think Rojoe gives their offense

594
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: a little juice and they need it. Going into a

595
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: very very critical year for everyone involved, head coach, general manager, quarterback,

596
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: everyone has to play role. I think this is a

597
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: critical situation for him. Ron Jones has he has star potential,

598
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: no doubt, So hopefully he's uh, he's ready to go

599
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: to start a camping and can get this offense cranking

600
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: because he's gonna have a lot of responsibility year number one.

601
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 1: Let's get to the NFC East. UM. You know the

602
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: NFC East is really interesting. UM. I think that Washington

603
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: Redskins have an interesting scenario. They have to play out

604
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: in the secondary. Orlando Scandrick Favor Moreau, Quintin Dunbar. These

605
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: guys have to battle it out and figure out who's

606
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 1: going to be the second, third, and fourth corners. Orlando

607
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: Scandid comes over from the Dallas Cowboys having knee injury

608
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. Hasn't necessarily been the same,

609
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: but he's kind of like that old veteran that you

610
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: like to add you can depend on him. Favorite Moreau

611
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 1: is tremendously talented, had an early injury, uh kind of

612
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 1: kept him from kind of making an impact early in

613
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: the year. But you saw some of the stuff that

614
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: he likes. And then here Quintin Dunbar, a converted wide

615
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: receiver who everyone in the building will tell you he's very,

616
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: very talented. How does this shake out? Because end of

617
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 1: the vision, where the quarterback play is going to be

618
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: better and the wide receiver play has also improved, you

619
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: have to have three corners that are starting level cornerbacks.

620
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: How does this shake out for the Washington Briskins. It's

621
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: gonna be big for them. Also, I think the running

622
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 1: back position for them will be fun to watch the

623
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: theorious guys, which I think we both expect can take

624
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: over that job as a rookie. Another one there for

625
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 1: the Redskins, I'm gonna go Dallas Cowboys. And to me,

626
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,239
Speaker 1: you look at the receiver position, it's it's a lot

627
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: like the NBA lottery, Like they just have they have

628
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: about fifteen ping pong balls, and I'm anxious to see

629
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: which ones end up emerging and popping up and end

630
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: up being their big three. I think we've you know,

631
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: you look at the way it's shaken out. I think

632
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley probably has a defined role for what he

633
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: can do in the slot. But outside of that, and

634
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: it is a wide open competition. You've got Deante Thompson

635
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 1: coming in there, you draft Michael Gallup, You've got Alan

636
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: Hearns who you brought over. You still got Terrence Williams there,

637
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: Noah Brown, They're very talented guy at comeing out of

638
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: Ohio State. And last year's draft a late round pick

639
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: who's shown some promise. U Tavon Austin. How is he

640
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: gonna be used? I mean, there is a lot of

641
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: questions with this group and how that all is going

642
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: to shake out. So just a position for me in

643
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: this division. I'll be keeping an eye on this wide

644
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: receiver position for the Dallas Cowboys. I know you've talked

645
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: about it in the past. Uh, you know, hey, this

646
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: this this won't be a terrible thing with them losing

647
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: Dez Bryant and uh, we'll see if Dak Prescott, if

648
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: he could be a truck, if he can make these

649
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: guys better and make some of these names that maybe

650
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: we weren't as familiar with on a national level. I'm

651
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: talking about just a general fan base, make those guys

652
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: a name, and if you're a big time quarterback, you'll

653
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: find a way to do that. Yeah, I think so.

654
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: I think this would be really the ultimate test for

655
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, and I think it comes at a critical

656
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,719
Speaker 1: time because they can redo his deal at the end

657
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: of this season if he goes out and the shows

658
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: that they can move the ball and just kind of

659
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: spread the ball around. And what's funny, I did some

660
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: research on Dak Prescott and I found that when he

661
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: throws the ball to eight, the more different receivers he's

662
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: fourteen into as a starter, he has a one to

663
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: four touchdown the interception ratio, and the Dallas Cowboys offense

664
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: operates at a much higher and efficient level. I think

665
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: this is a situation where I've talked about it on

666
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: the podcast before. He can do some of that old

667
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: Tom Brady like stuff in terms of I'm just gonna

668
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: throw to the open receiver. The guy that really dictates

669
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: the coverage is as zk Elliott behind me. As long

670
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: as we get one on one on the outside, I'm

671
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: going to throw the ball to the first guy to

672
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: get open. So now it's on you guys to figure

673
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: out who wants the ball on one of your rolls,

674
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: very very early in the focus. Yeah, that's the benefit

675
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: of two of having that run game you mentioned with

676
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: the zek Elliott. You're gonna simplify everything that you see

677
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: back there because that is a job number one for

678
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: every team he plays to slow down that running game.

679
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: So we'll see, Now maybe one of these guys emerges

680
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: above the others, or maybe it is just kind of

681
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: like a stew a little receiver stew there where the

682
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: ball just gets spread all over the place. You don't

683
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: see any big numbers for any individual player, but the

684
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: number one receiver on their team is the guy that's open.

685
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: Not a bad way to go there. Uh, let's get

686
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: to NFC West here. The position battle you're keeping an

687
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: eye on. You know this is this is tough because

688
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,479
Speaker 1: there's so many different ways to go. Um, but I'm

689
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: gonna go see yeah, because I think they're running game

690
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: has to be figured out. Root Patty versus Chris Carson,

691
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: whoever is the number one back has a lot of

692
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: weight on the shoulder. This offense hasn't been right since

693
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch with a big part of the offense and

694
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: part of the reason is because Marshawn was a big,

695
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: physical runner who also had the ability to impact the

696
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: passing in and Rashad Penny coming out of In Diego State,

697
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: I thought he had not trades like Marshaun, but I

698
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: thought he had the ability to be a big back

699
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: that could also make contributions out of the backfield as

700
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: a receiver. And so who want to call them stay

701
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley light, I think Rashaan Penny can do that.

702
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: In this version of the Ceyhawks offense, it is critical

703
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: that they have another weapon outside of Doug Ball Can

704
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: Penny unseen Chris Carson as that guy Carson, his flash

705
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: Carson and the big athletic specimen did a good job

706
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: and small moment last season, But right now one of

707
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: those guys has to show that he can be the

708
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: bell cout not only as a runner, but as an

709
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: impact player as the receiver at the back. Fool. I

710
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: don't know if you're if you're familiar with his work buck,

711
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: but I've just kind of been and turned on here

712
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: uh and plugged in with with Warren sharp On on Twitter,

713
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: who does a lot of does a lot of analytics

714
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: work um and he has a book that's out. I

715
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: called it a magazine and that was not correct. It's

716
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: actually a book. He's done a ton of research, um,

717
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: and he puts this this book out right before the season,

718
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: so it's available now. You can find it. Just go

719
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: find him on Twitter. Um. Again, he's not asked me

720
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: to do anything for him here, just I I got

721
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: a lot out of reading what he did. And one

722
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: of the things he's talked about was what a huge,

723
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: huge mistake it was for the Seattle Seahawks to not

724
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: identify the talent on their own roster and to cut

725
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: Alex Collins, who we've seen go to the Baltimore Ravens

726
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: Emerges their feature back and it really looked great last year.

727
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: So not only do you lose a talented player, now

728
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: you have to spend draft capital your highest pick and

729
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: you go take a Rashad Penny. You don't have to

730
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: make that selection if you would have just correctly identified

731
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: what you already had on your roster, a guy you'd

732
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: already already had, and Alex Collins. So uh, again, that's

733
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: that's a fascinating read. I was on vacation read through

734
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff there on the analytics side, but

735
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: that that stood out to me is that man if

736
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: you you know, we talked about being him with value

737
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: a way players for the draft, we talk about being

738
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: able to evaluate free agents that are on the market.

739
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: You better evaluate the players on your own roster, because

740
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: that ended up costing them in a big way. It

741
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: didn't cost him in a huge way like not being

742
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: able to find a player on your own roster that

743
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: could make contributions. And sometimes the scheme fed matters, and

744
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: maybe it was a different scheme in Baltimore that allowed

745
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: in the flours. But you had this guy for a

746
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: little over a season and a half to really be

747
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: able to look at him and for him to not

748
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: be a guy that you could say could make a

749
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: contribution says a lot. Just a miss. It's a miss

750
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: by the Seattle Seahak. They had to come back and

751
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: try and make it right and the draft and we'll

752
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: see if they can get it right. This is a

753
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: team in transition. The rest of the Busiones is trending up.

754
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: They appear to be trending down. We'll see how it

755
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: shakes out at the end of the year. Let me

756
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: ask you one question before I get to my position.

757
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: Battle here Seattle Seahawks. And this is gonna break Selley's

758
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: heart here that I'm posing the question this way. But

759
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: if I said Seattle Seahawks more likely twelve and four

760
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: or four and twelve, you only get one option there,

761
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: Which one would you pick? Twelve? Oh, Sully off the

762
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: top rope on your own team? Yeah, four and twelve, Yeah,

763
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: I think I think they're more likely to be four

764
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: and twelve and twelve four. I don't think they have

765
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: enough ammunition on both sides of the ball to be

766
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: able to be a team that wins double digit Maybe

767
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: maybe Russell Wilson is just that good that they can overcome.

768
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: But I think they've lost a lot of who they

769
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: were in terms of the identity and how they went

770
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 1: about their business. I can't see them win in twelve games. Yeah,

771
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: I agree, I think you lose too many pieces. That

772
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's the top five quarterback, But is he that

773
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: good to overcome those losses? I don't think so. I

774
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: think this is a sneaky bad team. Yeah, sneak. I

775
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,919
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not I am not optimistic there. Maybe

776
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: they'll prove me wrong, but I just don't see. And

777
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: with the way that division is trending, with all the

778
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: the young quarterbacks they have there and some of the

779
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: other roster pieces that you know, the Rams are absolutely

780
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: loaded forty niners. Um, they're starting to load up a

781
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: little bit. The Arizona Cardinals get David Johnson back. I

782
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: just think everybody's kind of trending in one direction. Seattle

783
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: seems to be treading in the other. But hey, maybe

784
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: they'll surprise us and have a great year. But I

785
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 1: just I don't see it when I look at that team,

786
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: buck Um. The position battle for me I'm looking at

787
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 1: is Arizona Cardinals. I'm gonna take the little hanging fruit here,

788
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: give me the quarterback battle. Give me, give me Josh Rosen,

789
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: the rookie trying to unseat Sam Bradford. Or is Sam

790
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: Bradford gonna voluntarily give up the position by injury, which

791
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: seems to be probably the most likely scenario. That's probably

792
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,399
Speaker 1: a very very likely scenario. When you think about Sam

793
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: Bradford's history, He's had a tough time. He has been

794
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: a pretty good quarterback when he's been healthy. The problem

795
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:41,280
Speaker 1: is those healthy moments have been far few and far between,

796
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: and so I need to figure out if he can

797
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: stay healthy. But really, at the end of the day,

798
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 1: I think Josh Rosen is going to be a better player,

799
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: and I would be more in climb to start the

800
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:54,439
Speaker 1: process of developing the young quarterback. Start them day one,

801
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: get him going, you know, running back behind him and

802
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:58,919
Speaker 1: David Johnson, who can make a lot of things happen.

803
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: You still have Alarica's yield on the outside. You have

804
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk who I think it's going to be a

805
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: star in this league. There have a lot of stuff

806
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: around him. I don't know where the offensive line is

807
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: going to be like, but I'll be more inclined to

808
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: play the young guy early and less. Just see, as

809
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: we talked about in YouTube, what do we need to

810
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: get around the me You two to helpen Floyers and

811
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: you know, we see with running backs you have a

812
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: limited shelf life there when you have a running back

813
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: in terms of how long they can be premier player.

814
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: David Johnson coming off injury now, but that window is

815
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: where it is. You know you've got it. You've got

816
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 1: to get this team up and running within the next

817
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: two years so that you can hit your stride. While

818
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: David Johnson is still in his Prime is arguably the best,

819
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: if not the best, one of the two or three

820
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: best running backs in the league. So why not accelerate

821
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: the process. Get Josh Rosen in as early as you

822
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: can this year, get him up and running, and we

823
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: come back again to that rookie formula. Get that rookie quarterback.

824
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 1: Year two. You've got David Johnson and his prime, go

825
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: out and be aggressive and surround him with some more

826
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: pieces on offense, and you're off and running. So to me,

827
00:36:58,040 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: it just makes more sense. I know they paid Sam

828
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: Bradford a ton of money, but the sooner you can

829
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: get Josh Rosen on the field, I think will be

830
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 1: better for this team. Let's get to the to the

831
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: a f C North here, Buck, and we can pick

832
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 1: up the pace a little bit here. Which battle you're

833
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: looking for? What I can say if the North the

834
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: Damous shift said to me is the conversation that you

835
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: had earlier, and I'll just briefly touch on it. I

836
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: do believe this is a serious competition between Joe Flacklan

837
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: and mar Jackson. Um. I'm just curious to see how

838
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: it plays out when it's all said and done. I

839
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: want to see how he looks during the police season.

840
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 1: What do they do schematically to help him find his

841
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 1: rhythm and if this offense flows a little differently with

842
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 1: a little more excitement, I just think it's a matter

843
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: of time we get to not Yeah, well that's a

844
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: good one. I'm gonna go Cleveland left tackle Shan Coleman,

845
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 1: Austin Corbett, and maybe even Joe Bettonio getting in the mix,

846
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: who has a versatility, played guard, played tackle. So how

847
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: that all sorts itself out there for that Cleveland offensive

848
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: line replacing I guess I don't know. Is he a

849
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: new colleague. I've seen Joe Thomas on on NFL network. Man,

850
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: it looks great. It lost like fifty pounds. Yeah, it

851
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: lost like fifty pounds. Look, he's always been very, very

852
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: entertaining and exciting. He is stepped up here the podcast

853
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: with Andrew Hawkins, so he's kind of been kind of

854
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: dancing around from this toe into water a little bit.

855
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: It's finally good to see him on I know what

856
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: was he that plays out? All? Right? Give me give

857
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: me one of the FC South. When I go to

858
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: the FC South, um is the running backs Derrick Henry

859
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:23,959
Speaker 1: and Dean Lewis, And I know they said they're gonna

860
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: have a running back by a committee approach, but at

861
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: some point someone has to be the lead horse. Is

862
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: that Derrick Henry, the big, physical banker that can run

863
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: in between the tackles, or is it Dean Lewis who

864
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 1: was a little sneaky and spectacular during his time in

865
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,439
Speaker 1: New England. How do they figure out which of these

866
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: guys can be the guy that they can lean on

867
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 1: and the clutch. I'm exciting to see how this um

868
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: battle kind of plays itself out during the free season. Yeah,

869
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: that's a good one. Um. I think I'll go with

870
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 1: the big guy. I'll go with the with Derrick Henry.

871
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 1: Co went out with the more touches and more carries obviously, Uh,

872
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: somebody that they're excited to out there, and Dean Lewis

873
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: can kind of be a nice compliment to him. I'm

874
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: gonna go to the Colts. I'm gonna go to the the

875
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 1: linebacker position. Darius Leonard, one of our favorite players in

876
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 1: the draft last year. Always does make every single tackle.

877
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: From South Carolina State Senior Bowl ten ten tackles I

878
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: think he had in the Senior Bowl. He's a playmaker,

879
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: he can fly big time, athlete competing there to play inside.

880
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: You know, some people say is he a will linebacker?

881
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 1: Is he a MIC linebacker? I think he can kind

882
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: of be one of those undersized MIC linebackers. They can

883
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: run and make a bunch of players, So that puts

884
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 1: him in competition there with Antonio Morrison. Um. You know

885
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: everyone decided about Andrew luck coming back, but I think

886
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 1: the big thing, how good would that defense be? I

887
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: like whatever Fluff is talking about doing, They're gonna play

888
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: a little more of that Rod and the Rod and

889
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: Mary Nelly Tampa two style. They're gonna play bad. They're

890
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: gonna simplify for the year and guy and get him

891
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 1: to run and chase. The thing about that defense, that

892
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: defense is best when it's complimented by high scoring offense

893
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: where they're playing downhill on defense, they're rushing the pastor

894
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: playing coverage and not necessarily having to play hold a

895
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: toll against physical run games. Let's see if they can

896
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: get the offense going so that defense can play the

897
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: way they want to play. Yeah, no doubt. Um, that

898
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: offense with Andrew Lucking look a little bit different. Hopefully

899
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: we see him throwing NFL footballs. Buck No high school

900
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: football to get him in NFL football, Let's see what

901
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: he looks like in training camp. That's obviously one of

902
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,240
Speaker 1: the big storylines across the league. A f C East

903
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: position battle. Uh, for me, when I go to the

904
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 1: a f C East Man, We've already talked about these things,

905
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: Sam Donald versus Bridgewater and account Sam Donald. Just because

906
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 1: of all the things that you're hearing about Sam Donald,

907
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: they kind of gets you excited. They gets you excited

908
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: about what the young guy is going to be able

909
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: to do. The leadership quality, the talent, the way he's

910
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 1: picking up the offense, and even though he wasn't a

911
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: finished product at the point that he was drafted, I

912
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:52,760
Speaker 1: do believe he's gunstlting and mentality and his improvisational skills

913
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: could make him a special player in the globe. Yeah,

914
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: and when we talked about it, you're right. So I

915
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: think if I was, and I guess if I was

916
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: gonna put a percentage on it, I'll go Sam Donald.

917
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: Chances of starting Week one, I'll put it at six.

918
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: That's where I'm gonna That's where I'm at right now today. See,

919
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,439
Speaker 1: maybe that goes up, maybe that goes down. But coming

920
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 1: into camp, I'll put him at six. I do think

921
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: he ends up winning that job. Now one that's wide

922
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: open again in that division, same position. Let's go to

923
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: Buffalo with their quarterback situation there. We thought it was

924
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: gonna be a two man battle there, Josh Allen a J.

925
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: M mccaren. Then all we heard about in the off

926
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: season with Nathan Peterman and how well he did. Although, man,

927
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 1: I've got this job with the with the Chargers doing

928
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: their their radio this year, so I've been watching a

929
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: ton of their stuff from last year, just kind of

930
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: get refreshed and went back and watch that game again.

931
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Buck, that was a tough one. That

932
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: was a tough one. I think Joey Bosa hit him

933
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: every other play and every other past he threw the

934
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: wrong guy. So, uh, Nathan Peterman, Hey, maybe he has

935
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:53,720
Speaker 1: got some severe uh, I mean, some intense mental toughness

936
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: to be able to come back from that disappointing effort

937
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: there when he got on the field. But it sounds

938
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: like he did because he's been great the off season

939
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: and this is very much a three man battle for

940
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: the quarterback job. Yeah, I mean, obviously it's a three

941
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 1: man battle. They're trying to figure out who is a

942
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: guy that can kind of steady the ship. But yet

943
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 1: to remember this was a playoff team a year ago,

944
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: and so I think expectations should be hard, Like you

945
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: think that they would like to take the next step.

946
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: But when I look at the roster, I think it's

947
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,359
Speaker 1: come down a notch, um, And I think the thing

948
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: that kind of hangs overhead is what is going to

949
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: happen with Shady McCoy. Is Shade McCoy gonna be available

950
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: for all six games? Um? And so if he's available,

951
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 1: then it's easier to put the un quarterback in. But

952
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: if he's not available, man, you're talking about throwing the

953
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks of the Wolves, not having a talented player

954
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: in the backfield, not necessarily having a blue chair player

955
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: on the perimeter. Um. I think a lot of the

956
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: decision to play Josh Allen or whoever will be based

957
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: on what is the availability of the Shawan McCoy as

958
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: they hit in the regular seat. Now, that's a that's

959
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 1: a huge storyline to follow here as we get into camp.

960
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 1: It looks like he'll be treated just as any other

961
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: unless something changes through the legal process right now, Um,

962
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: But man, Lashawn McCoy that that changes the look at

963
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: that offense in a big way if he's not available.

964
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 1: Let's get to the final one here a f C

965
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: West position battle. Uh. The S West position battle for

966
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: me is Royce Freeman and DeVante Booker. Who is going

967
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 1: to be the Denver Bronco's number one running back? In

968
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 1: Royce Freeman, I think you have a big back that

969
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:27,240
Speaker 1: is very much like Lead Bell and those other guys. Big, physical,

970
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 1: can running between the tackles, but also it can be

971
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: a playmaker in the passing game. DeVante book is the

972
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 1: guy that had high helps off when he was coming

973
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 1: out of Utuah. I thought he was someone that was

974
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: going to be a dynamite player. I love the physicality, toughness,

975
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: his ability to carry look hasn't been able to do

976
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 1: it in Denver. Um. This looks like to me a

977
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: race where Royce Freeman should be the one that crosses

978
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 1: to take first. Let's see if he can win it

979
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: in the preseason. Yeah, I'm still look, I love Devonte

980
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,439
Speaker 1: book coming out of college, so I'm still hopeful we'll

981
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 1: see that same player show up here. Um. I think

982
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: it's is a great battle. I think this is a

983
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,359
Speaker 1: true fifty battle. It's a toss up to see which

984
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 1: one of these guys can come away. They've got kind

985
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: of a similar running style there between the two of them,

986
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: very physical runners. Obviously came out of the same conference

987
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: there in the pack twelve. That'll be one to to

988
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: keep an eye on. I'm gonna go to the Chargers

989
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: and mentioned I've been watching a bunch of them. They've

990
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: got kind of an embarrassment of riches here at the

991
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,720
Speaker 1: corner position because you've got Jason Burrett coming back healthy,

992
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: Casey Hayward will have one spot locked down. But then

993
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: you've got Desmond King, who can play some nickel. Um.

994
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: He's done a nice shot for them last year. He

995
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,879
Speaker 1: can play some safety, can play some nickel. Uh, he's

996
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 1: in the mix. Trevor Williams kind of came out of nowhere.

997
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 1: He played great last year on the outside. He was

998
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,760
Speaker 1: a college free agent back and I think it was seen,

999
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: uh he emerged as a real, real talented player in

1000
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: Vrett's absence. So you've got really King, Williams and Vrette.

1001
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: That's a you know, add them to Hayward. That's four

1002
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 1: very very talented corners. But most of the time, you're

1003
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: gonna have three of those guys on the field. So

1004
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: how does that all shake out? Who's the who's the one?

1005
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,359
Speaker 1: Uh having to wait to get on the field when

1006
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 1: you get into those real deep subsituations. So that's gonna

1007
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,439
Speaker 1: be a fun position about to watch. Selfishly, I hope

1008
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: Jason Barrett comes back healthy and we see the guy

1009
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: we saw early on in his career with the Chargers

1010
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: because he was pretty dynamic. Yeah, he was pretty adamic

1011
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 1: when he's played. He played at the Pro Bowl level.

1012
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 1: He's a guy that had supreme talent. He had the

1013
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 1: ability to travel the match and run with receivers all

1014
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,760
Speaker 1: over the field. He can use a variety of different techniques.

1015
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 1: So yeah, like you want to see him come back

1016
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,839
Speaker 1: and play at the level hopefully, just hopefully he can

1017
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: be healthy. Because of detailthy he's the top one, no question.

1018
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:33,439
Speaker 1: So those are our position battles by division that we're

1019
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: looking forward to. Last thing we've got here before we

1020
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 1: run buck five teams. I wrote about this impacted that

1021
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: will be most impacted by the rookie class. I kind

1022
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 1: of ranked these five to one. I'll go through him

1023
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: quickly here and then I'll let you just kind of

1024
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: give me your thoughts on on any of these teams,

1025
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 1: or if there's another team you think I've missed that,

1026
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: you think we'll have a big time rookie year with

1027
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: their with the rookie class. I started Number five, the

1028
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. We've mentioned Lamar Jackson. We both believe he

1029
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,320
Speaker 1: takes over this position before the year is up. Hayden

1030
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 1: Hurst tight end is gonna be in the mix. I

1031
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: think Orlando Brown is gonna end up winning that right

1032
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: tackle position sooner rather than later. You're gonna get a

1033
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: contributor in Mark Andrews the other tight end. And I

1034
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: think Kenny Young the linebacker is one to keep an

1035
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: eye on out of U. C. L A. He's somebody

1036
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: that can really run and cover UH and definitely can

1037
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: find his way onto the sub packages for the Baltimore Ravens.

1038
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: Number four the Chargers Derwin James the highlight there at

1039
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 1: the seven pick just fell into their lap. Big time playmaker,

1040
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: Whichinna new Wosu can be kind of a walk around

1041
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 1: Blitzer for them. The linebacker from USC, Justin Jones, rotational

1042
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,439
Speaker 1: player along that defensive line at NC State. Because you're

1043
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 1: white safety, that converted to linebacker. Who's gonna be somewhere

1044
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: that can really cover backs and tight ends, which was

1045
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: an issue for this Chargers team. And then keep an

1046
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 1: eye on Justin Jackson, the running back from Northwestern, to

1047
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 1: be kind of the backup, the number two runner there

1048
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: behind Gordon Chicago Bears at number three. Everything I heard

1049
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: about real Kwan Smith was off the charts in the

1050
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: off season. I know he hasn't signed yet. I anticipate

1051
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: that will happen pretty soon. You've got James Daniels was

1052
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: one of the top interior lineman. I think he finds

1053
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: his way onto the field early. And then Anthony Miller

1054
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,839
Speaker 1: big time, big time reports coming back on him from

1055
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 1: training camp. The wide receiver from Memphis. He'll get in

1056
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 1: the mix. Colts at number two. Glenton Nelson the best

1057
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 1: offensive lineman in the draft. You've got Brandon Smith, another

1058
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: lineman from Auburn wh will compete for a job. Darius Leonard,

1059
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:21,760
Speaker 1: who we talked about at linebacker. I think he emerged

1060
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: as a starter right away. Coamoco Terrey from Rutgers. He

1061
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: gets on the field as a pass rusher, and the

1062
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: Niheim Hines kind of a jack of all trades, running back, slot, receiver, playmaker.

1063
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 1: I think he's in the mix. And then the number

1064
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 1: one team that's gonna get the most impact from the

1065
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: rookie class. You talked about him at the top of

1066
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 1: the show. That's New York Giants with se Kwon Barkley,

1067
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: who's got a chance to be a a pro bowler

1068
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: right out the gate, Lorenzo Carter and b J Hill,

1069
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: two defensive players, very very athletic, very explosive. I think

1070
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 1: they find their way into the mix as well. So

1071
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: those are the five teams I think that will have

1072
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 1: the most impact from the rookie class. Buck, I'll give

1073
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 1: you the floor now, I I agree with this list. Um,

1074
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: I think number one. You're right. I think the New

1075
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 1: Organs have to be on the list, just with everybody

1076
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,479
Speaker 1: that is coming in with Hernandez helping out at at guard,

1077
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,359
Speaker 1: say Kwan bark they obviously being to do it all

1078
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,879
Speaker 1: playmaker in the backfield. So I'm agreeing that number one. Um.

1079
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 1: The Bears are an interesting team to me because bro

1080
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 1: consmer James Daniel, Anthony Miller, Wilkon Smith is going to

1081
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: be a stud. We loved him coming out. James Daniel

1082
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 1: to me, I thought was a little underrated, undervalued when

1083
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 1: it came to draft day. He's a starter. That offensive

1084
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 1: line looks good, and I think this team is going

1085
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,280
Speaker 1: to be so much better with Matt Naggie Mark Healthrick

1086
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 1: taking over, putting Mr Bistie in a better position to

1087
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 1: really play to his talent. So a guy like Anthony

1088
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 1: Miller could be a nice surprise on the outside because

1089
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: he's just a big time playmaker. He did a lot

1090
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 1: of memforts. I think he's certaly else, those are the

1091
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 1: two teams to stand up to me, and obviously the

1092
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,399
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens all the stuff that they've added with Lamar

1093
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 1: Jackson as a bonus. I think all five of these

1094
00:48:56,760 --> 00:49:00,400
Speaker 1: teams certainly have been boosted by their rocky class. But

1095
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,280
Speaker 1: one team I did not that I wrestled with putting

1096
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 1: in there was the Patriots, just because historically that young

1097
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: guys have a tough time they're getting on the field

1098
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 1: with the Patriots. But I think Isaiah wins got a

1099
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 1: chance to to win one of those offensive line jobs.

1100
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 1: Probably starts out inside, but I think they even feel

1101
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: like he could play tackle if needed um. But I

1102
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: think he's got a chance to get on the field

1103
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:23,320
Speaker 1: early Sony Michelle, how they used him in this backfield?

1104
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: They've got a billion running backs. He's their most talented though,

1105
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: in my opinion, So how does he get in the mix?

1106
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 1: Is there another first round pick for them? And then

1107
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 1: Duke Dawson, who I thought was one of the best

1108
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: nickels in the draft. Somebody that should be able to

1109
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: you know, for most team should get on to play

1110
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,359
Speaker 1: on the field right now. I just don't know, if

1111
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 1: you know, their history of playing young guys is not great.

1112
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: So he If it was any other team with those

1113
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: players and this roster situation, I would have put the

1114
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 1: Patriots on the mix in the mix there, because I

1115
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:51,359
Speaker 1: think those guys are really good players and they are

1116
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 1: better than what's ahead of them on the depth chart.

1117
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 1: But it's just in New England, you know, I don't

1118
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 1: know how many how many those young guys are gonna

1119
00:49:56,600 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 1: be able to get on the field. Yeah, I mean

1120
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 1: New England is just such a tough because you just

1121
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 1: don't know what they're thinking. You just never know when

1122
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 1: it comes to game that who's going to play, how

1123
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 1: they want to do it, what will they have specified

1124
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,399
Speaker 1: for their player? Uh, it's just tough. I will say

1125
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 1: this about some of Michelle. I think some of Michelle

1126
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 1: is terrific. I think he gives them an opportunity to

1127
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 1: have one back. You can do all the roles and

1128
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 1: responsibilities that they've been able to get collectively from a

1129
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: handful of God. I think that matters. We'll see how

1130
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 1: it plays out, but I would expect him at some

1131
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: point to be a major contributor for his office. All right, Buck,

1132
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 1: you know what I've done for us today, I've I've

1133
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 1: got us through a bro chunky show here. And you know,

1134
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 1: people won't know this because when this releases, it will

1135
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: be past the time. But there's still twenty two minutes

1136
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,399
Speaker 1: before Chick fil A stops serving breakfast. So I'm just saying,

1137
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: I think we, uh, we accomplished something today. Uh Yeah,

1138
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 1: I think we did. We got through a big one,

1139
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 1: a beefy podcast that Sully always like to talk about

00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:14,759
