Hello beautiful people and welcome to our humble abode the thunder No, on this overreaction Monday to life for you two thousand twenty five this program begins now football is happening all around us if you're like us obviously your timelines were filled with highlights and narratives and stories and football from One side of this country to the other all 32 teams are making magic at their respective training camps And we'll talk about it all what highlights are tough five tough five tough five tough five from going camping and also some narratives Some storylines and developing stories there up. What's going on? Chicago? Well, I go Well, I thought Ben Johnson's offense with Caleb Williams was gonna be an automatic kickstart the Caleb Williams perennial all-pro career the perennial all-star the perennial superstar the consummate megastar Caleb Williams with Ben Johnson at the Help was gonna really be ignited into the who he could possibly become as a professional quarterback He sucks right now.
They're saying he sucks right now Ben Johnson come out and say he's learning a brand-new offense It's third offense in two years Do we please relax for a couple seconds and then let him develop and not a bit of figure out what the structure is where he needs to go And then we'll get to the off-script place. Can we do that everybody's like sure? But we're watching he sucks now and your social media teams put a bunch of bagged stuff up and his dad we know arm arm Russell he's also hilarious dog from the thing tell your social team to stop bearing Caleb because all we're seeing is to back up get the offense and Caleb Yeah, then Johnson goes well three days in trinity. Can we all relax?
Well, I've seen the stats from the training camera It's saying then JJ Watts coming out. Hey, hey people starting to be a little bit too serious with this whole thing We thought we were joking with the staff what we're saying is everything that we're seeing on training camp right now Although it is either very spectacular on one side in absolute ass on the other or reverse those two things Everybody's trying to get better right now. Everybody's working on things. Everybody's learning things I don't think we need to press the panic button right now But if you see something good from your team You should definitely think you're gonna win the Super Bowl because that is what these weeks are all about on that note Well a team from Pittsburgh win the Super Bowl this year.
They're going all in monies all over the place We'll get a chance to have boots on the ground Wednesday. We'll be live from Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania come up and see us come up and hang with us We cannot wait to see the fine The injured people up there obviously Saint Vincent College has been the host of the Pittsburgh Steelers training camp for like three four decades at this point Is a Mecca pretty much of Steelers fans and make the pilgrimage up there is basically whatever Jinser kid has ever done from Western, Pennsylvania go watch the boys build for an incredibly tough season all the greats have been through Saint Vincent and this year obviously it has Aaron Rodgers DK Metcalfe J. Lynn Ramsey Darius Lake and Studs and your lost or littered with talent going all in we will be able to catch up with all of them and also special coordinator who is running us a layer of humans well time then on Thursday We back that up we'll be at the pro football Hall of Fame here we go. Yeah, that's remember on Thursday night We got NFL teams playing football at a high school stadium.

I hope so Got a guest coming from outside sports world, but Ohio legend. Oh really? It's not just me you're on this glorious over reaction Monday obviously talks with your app Austin Connor in that Tiesh me con man a lot of good stuff coming out of Patriots game will dive into it and Tiesh me the range goes head bottle Watson had the weekend of his life other than when everyone the masters obviously Yeah, I mean listen it is football season That's kind of where everyone's minds going I get it But you know when you see your favorite golf team go out there and just absolutely tear up the course in England Bubba Driver off the deck. I mean everyone wants to do this very few can actually do it especially when I mean look at the way Bubba's gonna open up here and oh baby So this on a third day told I think I said he's like 236 out or something like that He carries it.
No problem was speaking to it. She ain't cut cut cut slice slice It did he ends up making that putt for ego, but that wasn't the only time he won driver off deck on Sunday No, it wasn't you know when you can do it once why not just do it again You know when you're feeling it you're you're gonna do it and that's what Bubba did once again So he had he had that was either yeah, ten or thirteen. He did that was thirteen. That was ten now Here's ten So this is the first one Bubba's feeling a little frisky You know he had to he had to go for it because walking even was up big I mean look at the ongilation of that leading up to the green and boom he's gonna catch the slope and oh no that it's tracking It's tracking that is not gonna go in is Bubba going driver off the truck right into the cup No, it's gonna nest like they're about four feet away from the cup and he's gonna finish that off as well for a Eagle so yeah, but but you know big deal I believe he played six under through eight holes to kind of get him back in contention He finishes in second place.
I don't know his bubble back or the range goes back a lot of people are saying they Are like golf might be back with us paying attention live golf Yeah, you're certainly awesome for the sport of golf But watching Boba do his thing is cool especially with his entire story and everything he's been through and now is you know New found ownership of a golf team over there and live we're proud of him We're pumped for him. Yeah anytime you go driver off the deck was now It was on ten and thirteen and since they do that dumb ass shotgun star sure you don't know way no no idea No cool, he may have started on six. He may have started on nine He might start on eleven So then ten is actually seven eighteen year right and thirteen would be two nonetheless We love that they play like it's a fucking weekend scramble racing for a local fire hall We do appreciate that is hard to fall you know It is hard to keep up with but we are appreciative of a bubble what to be all the way back I'm happy you're showing him so love let's go to one half of the hammer God cowboys AP tone Hey lot of football this weekend a lot of football this weekend felt good to kind of see it back in our lives Yeah, it conner does the countdown to the actual first game of the season how many days are we really did this that is very very close Very close I do the countdown to training camp because I live off of these training camp videos and stuff like that because it's so much Different like what two weeks ago where we were watching there were the internet was dead Okay, we had some golf and stuff like that But football is back even if it's training camp videos like people can feast off of these and feed their passion And you know just their optimism for the season and that's what I know I love the optimism You know some people kind of getting a little too panic button the early They're really doing that I think people are looking for that in their day to day and just kind of off topic here Has your algorithm started showing up big time fights and that stuff again? Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm just getting knocked out since an adi.
Yeah, so that we need to watch ourselves We need to watch ourselves I'm not so Arkansas. Yep, that one too The wars are dying down a little bit on the algorithm. So it's more just you know fight Yeah, don't know if they actually are We're telling you what algorithms are trying to hate is what you need to see. I saw somebody I saw another Like that no, yeah, I don't know if I can talk to the algorithm.
So I just start speaking into my phone No, no, no, no death. No death. They can't have it also football is back to his feed football I need to stop seeing people get their asses knocked out and I'll wait and see this one Everybody's one more before you see this one everybody's talking about it's like but it seems like the algorithm Everyone's won't just have it where it's like, you know what? Hey, yeah, you need to see it What's happening?
It's the real world buying. I see a train. Yep. Somebody got hit by it Right?
It's uh, it's an interesting but football was everything scroll football. Yes Scroll football. Yes Scroll football. Oh, she more stories deal.
Yeah. Okay. Okay. Happy for smarts.
Mm-hmm scroll guy guys Oh, it's going on and then if my eyes accidentally look at it for four to five seconds algorithm goes god He loves it. He loves it. No, son. It's one football highlight dead body.
Yeah, then it was like uh football narrative McVay talking about Matthew Stafford Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah, I don't like coming in the training camp. You know, I don't like that I mean it's time to raise some hell in LA boys. What would you be?
It's that's in time. Okay, my god Jimmy Jimmy's just kind of a placeholder there for Stetson. You know, you don't want to have a quarterback controversy So you bring an old Jimmy G. Hey, Stetson.
You are the guy you are the prince who's promised But we can't have you sit behind staff staff's not gonna like that. He knows you're a Georgia boy who raises him You know, I'm gonna stand up and step and step and get along just fine handsome Jimmy G's back into place You suppose to be with a little bit of a But I was staring at that video long longer than I watched it sure just so the algorithm would see me Looking at that and I loan the whole one-time scroll But that it's just like oh my god. It's hard to battle right now with the algorithm But anytime football is showing up at the level which is showing up. It's a great thing now There's gonna be some tough days at these camps where there's gonna be absolute shite to talk about but right now A lot of guys trying to prove themselves in new places.
It's gonna nine-year NFL vector yesterday But there he is a lot of new guys in new places a lot of new faces and new spaces making plays all over the place But there is a chance that a lot of these guys don't work it. What the hell happened with Wilkins in Las Vegas? Alright, I saw a report. I'm sure we all have Nick.
I'm not sure of his name I don't know his background, but everybody saw this report very weird very very weird It makes you start you know your mind starts to wonder obviously with the player you look at the history look at other things And you come up to your conclusions I'm sure there'll be some other things that come out Well, this was a huge huge sign for them last year Obviously if you're a dolphin fan you wanted a walk is a stand-ability We lost them in there for something like this to come out and then they tried to avoid a bunch of his money I'll be interested to see how this plays out. He has a serious injury to I believe it Jones fracture in his foot So hopefully he can get that figured out and land on his feet somewhere at a good organization So many things happening including a man who's a college football national champion a Super Bowl champion a rider cup winner ladies and gentlemen AJ Hawkes Hey, our hair grow a little bit. I like that. So awkward weird face for a long time growing the sides out But yeah, what's up?
I Christian Wilkins. I do I think I put in the group text what's going on Yeah, so the only way was described by local ABC Las Vegas sports reporter Nick Walters He said everybody's being real tight with it was weird. It was very weird incident So I'll be blast Adam Shaftor here in about four minutes when he joins us about what this could possibly be about But these are things that start rolling out during campin. Hey, are you growing your hair out?
No, I don't know what I'm doing. It's not cutting it. There's a weird. I'm gonna cut it in some other stock I'm sick having it long up top like I do straight again.
Wow Yeah, AJ what I should just told Bruce before the show that what he does to his hair is criminal Okay, he has great hair. He wears a hat every day. He's like the best air and he always wears a hat and the hats are just like Just like hey if you're bald you do what you're doing right now. Your hair so good.
So we're talking about it. You also had great Oh, flowing long. No, I never had like yeah long hair long like ratty garbage here never had like long flowing thick locks It was never bad. Yeah, it was good.
It was your look game day. It was your thing. Are we going back to that? No, I don't think so, you know, but I it'll be weird to wear a hat here on this It's just a one-shot go where I would you be able to see my head?
I'll wear a hat on here once in a while. You know I'm saying was just me though in the part in what I'm hearing this in the Add the issue is where your lights are because like if you wear a hat in the lights are from top It's not great. That's why backwards at normally television for the lighting thing Hey, I think if you just wear a half of the next eight months and grew back that right ratty white trash shit Oh my god, I never know maybe I might have it. I don't know.
Yeah, AJ. It is a little ratty white trashy But I think it is awesome. Great to have that back. Yeah, I don't know I did it.
I'm glad I didn't had a phase long hair like when you look back at your parents from like the 70s nail I'm like, okay, I did that. I had the face. Yeah, the beard is clean strong. It's actually a five o'clock shadow two months from now That's a pretty facial hair.
Whatever you do with your hair. You want you need to know that you support you It's a decision for you this midlife crisis thing and if you go through anything that you need our systems up We are supporting okay. We are supportive of what you're doing. Hey, you want to go camping or not?
Yeah, let's go camping. That does sound pretty good. Hey, let's go camping shall we top five plays from training camp that we saw this weekend Now there's a lot of place that happened. We might miss them.
This is just what our alga was sneaking into our lives in between Fighting and death video here. These are the videos that we see you getting the same thing AJ. Yep exact same algorithm Just like we're all going through it right? Yeah, it's like I get scared the people's their head is gonna hit the curver hit really hard on The concrete no debt.
Yeah, well don't worry because the Savannah bananas to care that and they are exactly good. That was a work I don't think so I know that wasn't work I'm not gonna sit on front flip on to his forehead that was a work brother on that note Rest in peace of the Hulkster. Yeah, we're one of his final interviews I think he traveled all the way in here to chit chat with us was very kind to us obviously he has lived the life that he has Lived incredibly important to a lot of different forms of entertainment certainly the wrestling business as a whole was your perfect human being Absolutely not okay I think that is something that I'll be said about everybody that passed away But he certainly in the spotlight did some things that were necessarily the best at the time But with that being said you can never chit chat about entertainment and sports in United States of America without mentioning the Hulkster brother That's just the way it is rest in peace Terry rest in peace Hulk and thank you for your years of service for our entertainment brother now On that note, I got hit a backflip in the middle of the game Just an hour or two after he did that video and caught the thing It's actually called the rack flip because his name is something Anthony something yeah Robert Anthony Cortez or something Okay, so this was on an interview to promote Savannah bananas. I think you've seen this We watch it now that's rude back out.
I don't know that could possibly be a word Yeah Backflip in the middle of a backflip I don't I don't know that's not for me to understand and this was just eight nine hours later The game that he was marketing. What's that fly ball out the left back flip the door from CNN who busted his face open They actually give a full speech about him coming back. We're spawned here. They give him a full-life Yeah, I was the game.
I think he was promoting for you know So that kind of happens now the timing that you have to have him maybe it is the myth that weighs him perfectly balanced Yeah, maybe it is the thought of just making a play for the bananas for the team that when he was listening and what's on the line here Nothing if I drop this wall and let down the rest of the fucking bananas here I need to make this catch lanes and things that sit throws it out there or that was a work That was a lot. I think it's really I think everything you mentioned you're out there You're drilling this flowing you got 70,000 screaming me me's in the fan. So yeah, you're gonna be out there sleeveless Babies, baby's me people yeah men women Yeah, yeah, never heard that before I'm sorry My old coaches you say in college. I just came back sorry 70,000 people I thought you know this man of bananas Baron all of us are he just drop the name in their casually that would be something you would do no no no no Oh, I'll just figure it out right now get it over who now you're thinking of the man in the yellow hat curious father Who runs the whole thing oh stills yeah, no Jesse the guy runs the deal the guy Yeah, got it.
Anyways good. You think it's a worker. No, I think the flip now I didn't at first now. I think the flip was was a plan situation No, no, no Please Why does hands go fine out in front of him and when he's in the Ballman on go doesn't see the ball in the air like that's what he's used to do it Was go why didn't one of the people in the studio throw him a ball?
He could have done it. I don't know because they decided not to here's a video. He posted afterwards Hey guys for the record you have my full permission to laugh I can't not laugh every time I watch it to the So that's commitment to the bit but that's No, no, no, let's do well. Let's go camp.
Let's go camp and show me with our top. Hey, right? We hope you're okay. We're boss back That's right.
All right, I'll talk about please that our algorithm showed us from the weekend of training camp. Let's go camping Let's go to music city. Let's go to national, Tennessee Let's never gonna overall pick cam Ward remember the general manager said hey, you don't pass on a generational town Cam Ward drafted to Tennessee Titans roll-off crossbody throwback perfect dot to Calvin Ridley This will Calvin Ridley got to say after practice about cam Ward joining the Tennessee Titans man when we pick the man I was Feels different out here, you know, it feels in the building feels like just really because of him that first pick when we got him And it was him man. It just feels crazy.
Honestly, it feels good That we got a good quarterback. He's confident and we got to keep him confident and protect him because he's He's special he talks a lot of shit on one of his streams He actually said out Calvin Ridley's one of the top five wide receivers in the league whenever he's asked about it I almost gave away that he was gonna go to the Tennessee Titans But now that we watch him and learn more about him He was the obvious number one pick here in Tennessee might be for real with this guy You find your quarterback you can find a team in the culture AJ Well, think of all the hope we have like Tennessee people have just from seeing cam Ward and camp for a week and like I understand Like a big throws that he makes that is impressive But honestly more impressed by how he carries himself and the stories he was talking about how confident he is how well It's recall is on the playcon as he's talking trash to the defenders and he's getting the playcon when he's able to get it out Perfectly like honestly that is almost more impressive me than his answer Hey coach, Colin hands there It's first time I've ever experienced it I'm actually listening to him talk shit to somebody while giving him the play call Yep, and then I asked him if I need to repeat it He says not good man. I'm good We keep it moving in a wake up and really snocking feels like the same way the University of Miami started talking Yeah, whenever he showed up there. He's a magnetic force.
It feels like deep. Yeah, you get a quarterback You get you got a chance and I remember all the videos with him and she door kind of training during their off-season Even going into their last college years and all this shit And he's talked the confidence as it has how the bravado he carries himself with and then he backs it up with the play And guy like calvary when you are a wide receiver We're all dependent on other guys around us, but wide receiver is the most dependent position I believe out there and in Cali Hennig you know, he has the online pedigree So you got an old line that can protect that guy you got a chance to build in a division that you uh, you know, you can compete with Well, I don't know about that brother. Uh, let's go to of Seattle Talk about a young quarterback that had no conversation about him coming into the NFL Jalen millro you remember digger against Auburn you remember the highlights what about a throw to jaxon smith and jig But down the sideline is it in or out you make the call? Well, we can't fucking see But I will say powered by bowing scares me a little bit but also makes me excited That bowing is sponsoring things as it moves forward.
Jalen no road though. Nobody was talking about him as an NFL quarterback Nice to see a highlight. Yeah, of course brother. Check was pretty high on him and obviously be no how Nick Saban felt the bottom At bama, but yeah, you get a guy and I love him jig He's an absolute weapon.
Uh, it'll be it's gonna have a chance. You know dar knows gonna be there He's gonna be the guy but yeah, Jalen Mero. He's a weapon I expect to see the field at some point. Yeah the package quarterback is he is one of the best athletes whenever he touches the field and look I'm in the air a lot.
I love bowing. He bring it Everywhere Yes, we need you we need you. Uh, let's go to oxen or oxen or to california Yeah, there's a lot happening over here and we'll talk about jerry talk damn like a talk in the business and shoddy first training camp Let's go to a great moment on the defensive side man who was brought in from the buffer the bills. How you're either Oh track pick celebrate with your team and maybe the fans.
There's a little bay boy here I'm gonna go and scoop him you got the ball hold him up like symbol the place goes bananas love the good vibes coming out of training camp Because all we've heard from dalis is negativity a j hawk. Yeah, you know what we normally whenever you see that yellow tubing Fence over there when you're talking about oxnard. What are we usually seeing? We usually seeing a huge full team brawl between the Cowboys offense and defense whether maybe and there's usually fans And I'm just getting some friendly fires.
This is a great little uh little turnaround I guess real positive influence a positive thing to happen He's talking about the fans getting friendly fire. I think that press got some friendly fire to the last year at the side of the field Everything's happening at that point. There's a beautiful scene. He's brand new to the Cowboys as well Yes, he is, you know, I had a rough out of rough ending I was in his tenure in Buffalo, but sometimes you're the first start, you know a fresh start is a lot of talent on that dial is uh defenses I'd about especially once they get parts in the building so you're hurting because I first round pick so he has the talent Hopefully this is the system that he can get out there and make plays But I love making plays like that in that moment for that kid for that family, you know, you better remember that forever Yeah, it's beautiful everybody rallying around it too.
It looks like the boys vibes are high even though there's drama everywhere else You know, Bubba was in old England. Don't drive it off the deck. Yeah, sure. Let's go to new england with Drake with a big deck He has a big deck.
Yeah, you bet big ball here at a pop Douglas Boston Connor got all excited watching this outcome Yeah, I mean look it's PMS over action money There's a reason that new england Patriots fans and fans of other teams that haven't been so good are so excited right now Patrick and Drake may is gonna win every piece So yeah, there's a reason stuff like this get you juiced up love to see it all good things to your points Those fake stats they're real for teams of bad teams or fans of bad teams and i drank Manes have been like, you know, 20 and 21 all camp so incredible to see and look at all those fans The support is very strong for mike very well in the boys who are in full pass I saw a lot of fans at a lot training camp feels like the buzz for the NFL this year is very very high We're thankful to get out the same fence and on Wednesday then to the hall of fame game on Thursday We'll get a chance of feeling but all the camps had a lot of people I did say killing more down there in New Orleans He spoke to about 30 people sure he mentioned three times in there how hot it was I couldn't even imagine Indiana was like a hundred degrees this weekend new Orleans with this heat wave that we're having that had to be insufferable Bonaire so shot to their fans showing up as well and kellins first training camp and now It's come right here to indianapolis indian. Oh, yeah, you know you talk about teams that aren't worried about stats during training camp We are team that is worried about that training camp. No doubt because there's quarterback competition and i'll tell you what everybody's been up there Says not really competition anymore. Everybody seemingly is a bunch of believe ours I Alex looks absolutely.
Yo, he's on a contract here. Obviously he was putting the work all off season his upside is also So amets just like ar's upside is so immense these two if they're able to connect this year can become an absolute weapon on the offensive side But all eyes are on number five right there Is he gonna be a guy whose career is gonna go one way or the other? This is the chance Carly or say uh kaylin or say and tasey or say all the ownership of the Indianapolis Colts have come out and said Hey, he's still got time to turn this entire thing around chris bowled general manager Hey, he's still got time to turn this entire thing around he knows that he still has time to turn this whole thing around different traits before Praxis he's doing walkthrough reps in his mind getting after it He looks like he's an incredible shape that hurt him when it comes to taking hits during the season We shall see but it feels like a lot of question marks that we've had about Anthony Richardson as a quarterback and as a professional Have seen only come back the other way this training camp early, but it does feel good to be a uh, maybe a believer I love who leave our competition looks it brings out the best in it. You have a true way What are you laughing at?
You have a secret You haven't seen that tell me the origin of this whole believer Someone's not a believer I'll tell you what I could be I just don't know where you're not believe our Well, no, I'm not believe our For believe our In our underneath For star It's not that Or to be a believer In our In our We need a Believe our So we need to That's right Clear it up Thank you guys I'm a believer Now you're Boom We got The ultimate What I'm saying He does He does He does He does He does He does He does He does He does He's got it He's got some big steps to take Availability is number one You got to be available for your quarterback We saw two were talking about and everybody knows that fan coach Whoever you are you want to start quarterback out there If he wins this job Coach fans you want to be the guy and it was some conversation I believe last week about it Is this a make or break year Maybe not for AR 4 is complete career boy As far as his career here in Indianapolis I think this is a make or break year for five Turn the weapons out there Alec Pierce Obviously been one of them You got Pittman You got Downs You got AD You got J-10 The backfield and Big Tyler Warren All the big tight and we got out of Penn State So you have the weapons You have Shane Steck and we know we can call it the offense You have all the pieces in place To be a really really good offense And we know the pieces that we made on the other side of ball as well So I'm excited I'm definitely a believer Pine tree Oak tree How about the Oak tree brother Can you see this guy? That's the only one that's done in the offense guys Hey Dance Hey Boom Give me that Quick Love that Love everything about what's going on in the coach training camp Happy we want camp and joining us now as a man who knows All by our campsite Yeah That guy is going up six together make fire Ladies and gentlemen Senior NFL Insider DSPN Adam Scheff Yeah Hey Chef me sorry we made you wait there We had to go camping I assumed we got a lot of work done there Let's talk about some questions First of all how are you? Everything good? Jack Great Great Can you keep me And you can place your back We're happy Okay We are very happy Football is back It feels amazing Let's talk about some outstanding issues around the NFL We'll start in Dallas Obviously Micah Jerry Kyle Elam makes a big play Grab's a baby They all have a good time So I think the team and football aspect Not being bothered In shot these first years The head coach But when it comes to Jerry and Micah And how all that shit is gone Do we think that has any effect on how long it takes For this deal to get done?
Or do we think that is all just little noise As we move through training camp Well it's been bogged down It hasn't gained a lot of traction And it feels like both sides Are digging into their respective stances And there hasn't been a lot of movement In recent weeks or months You know the Cowboys haven't talked to offers And deals Since probably late In March early April around The owners meetings when Jerry seemed to imply That he thought a deal was close to getting done And then it didn't get done And then obviously Micah said We're not doing a deal without my agent David Mulgetta And then the Cowboys have not had a lot of conversation Since then And I don't think Dallas has made since that time Any pressing effort to get a deal done So obviously There's a lot there that's just sitting there And there hasn't been a lot of positive momentum To get a deal done But everybody thinks that something went of course It'll get done And Micah will be the highest paid non-quarterback And then it'll be history But again slow going so far Everybody thought TJ Watts deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers We'll get done I wondered whenever he held out of the man tour in minicam That deal inevitably gets done Everybody thinks Micah and the Dallas Cowboys Is going to get done We assume that'll get done as well He's in his fifth year though Of his rookie contract He's an abnormal situation for a superstar player Whether it's with the Dallas Cowboys Or not I think Micah handling it the way he's been handling actually Raw Fed, but He's handling it very very well Could've been much louder And more negative about it all So he wants to be there for his team Hopefully he works out and shot his first year as a head coach Which travel north a little bit Same type of situation Go ahead, AJ Yeah, chef, any updates Like what's the latest Trey Henderson in Cincinnati? I think I've gained any ground Is there any chance that he's going to be in the building Any time sooner rather than later? Okay, here's where that essentially I mean The deal is in place But there is a disagreement Over the guaranteed money And the deal It's a big disagreement so far Now maybe the two sides can figure out a way to bridge their differences But the bingles typically have not guaranteed full deals They did it for Joe Barrow They did it essentially for Jamor Chase They're not willing to do it For Trey Hendrickson And so it's up to the two sides to figure out What is the proper guaranteed? They could have grown the years They could have grown the average None of those are issues right now The whole issue The whole hang up and the reason that Trey Hendrickson still is in Florida today Is over guaranteed money How far apart, chef?
You have any idea how far they might be on this? Yeah, I would say I mean it depends We're asking But I would say Anywhere in 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20 Depends, I don't know what what we're trading them on to do Let's put it this way Multiple millions Multiple millions apart I'm guaranteeing money How about that? Is it one year deal they're still offering? Because they're offering like a bump on this year Right and he wants a three four year deal or whatever it is All they've been willing to do is just for this year Where they give you more guaranteed money Is that what you're talking about in Eludan 2 here in a million off Because over a three or four year period If they're only four million dollars off That's actually only $6 million off.
That's only a little bit over a million each year that they're off. This is for a one year multiple millions of dollars off. I think that Bingles are off one years of guarantee. I think they're talking about some guarantees in the second year, but they're not talking about enough guarantee money.
So it's just a one year deal bump up and it's not they want to sign a two year deal be locked in. They want to same situation next off season with the same shit. Now if if if and when a deal gets done, I would expect it to be a three year contract. If and when it gets to what two years of guarantees that is assuming if you just look at the math there three year with the two year guarantee, probably TJ just did that.
I think that's a mile's both got three guaranteed basically. Yeah, but it was a half four year contract. Got it. So if you drop that down to three, you would assume it'd be a two year guarantee.
Is that what Trey wants, Chef? I think that if the Bengals don't guarantee close to two years worth of money, I think the deal is going to be very slow to get done. And I you know, and and Trey is a very prideful guy. You've spoken to him, you know, he's not coming in unless he feels like he's comfortable with a guarantee money.
He's already taking a stand this long, you know. So it's like if he was to not get something that is great. I think a lot of people look at him sideways, including himself in the mirror about why to take this big stand. If this is all we're going to get anyways.
I hope it gets done just strictly because we like Trey and also because Trey has felt forced to do this. This is very much out of Trey's character. Because it's not what he wants to do. It's like this is what I have to do, seemingly.
And it doesn't have to be this way, but maybe it does. Maybe this is just business and maybe as we move forward, once football starts, this is all behind us and who gets because we're in it. We talk about it more. But you know, you heard Terry McClure in last week, I believe it was two weeks ago, talk about how frustrated and disappointed he was the two holdouts right now are Terry McClure and Trey Henderson.
And for two guys who have meant so much to their organizations to not be there, that tells you how frustrated and disappointed both are now. Terry McClure has come back and he's changed his stance from a holdout to a hold in. But it's a similar concept here. He's there, but he's not there.
He's not practicing. He's not stepping foot on the field until he has a deal that I believe he's comfortable with right now. He says he's got an ankle injury. Now again, you know, we'll see.
But if there was an agreement on a deal, I'll bet his ankle would feel a lot better. Well, money is a good healer of things. I mean, we have certainly seen that in the past with that being said about the holdout to the hold in. That's just so we can't be fine with 100 grand a day or whatever it is because that's what I hold up.
How much is that? Hey, basically he's holding out 50,000 a day fine. He's on his own. He's in charge of his training.
When he comes in the $50,000 a day fine stock and he's around his teammates and he's around their trainers. And so there's a big difference. Guys don't want to be away from their guys during training camp. It's an isolating lonely solitary feeling like in a perfect world.
You want to be around the guys? Always want to be around the lads. Always want to be on that note. Do you want to be on that note?
Yeah, I know he showed up with the show was agent buddy Baker and he talked about ankle injury and I saw that the commanders put him on PUP. I guess what goes into that and then what just like do you have any more details just like with the trade contract? How far are they apart? I know if you look at a comparable is out there DK sign a big deal.
It's all season. They were drafting the same class even though Terry's a couple years older. Terry hasn't missed the game in five years. What's the separation there and that deal right now to command is a Terry.
It's been vast and vast and so it's up to the two sides to figure out a way to bridge their differences. But I would say that DK Metcalf was the same draft class as Terry McClellan. He got about $33 million a year. You know, I wouldn't think that Terry is willing to take less than that.
I think he wants considerably more than that. Now when it comes in at will wind up seeing Washington. You know, they're not there right now and they love and value Terry McClellan, but they love and value him at a different price. So they seem these two sides right now seem apart on a deal like they don't seem close today.
And I don't know how they're going to get that resolve figured out, but these things usually find a way of working themselves out over time. But as of today, I don't get the sense that anything's close. You love and value me, but don't value me as much as the Pittsburgh Steelers value a guy. That's never played for them.
Who's the same age who's had more numbers than I have the last couple. I mean, that is where Terry's sitting. Yeah, that is where Terry's sitting and you talk about not that. I'm not about the DK.
I'm coming to Pittsburgh Steelers and Yinsers learning about DK. I'm very clear every single practice. Have you seen this guy? This guy we haven't seen.
Is it the only human that has built the way that he is? I mean, Yinsers learning of DK. I'm a guy who was the guy was that DK where I was DK right where Pete Carroll when he came in for the draft. That was DK.
Yeah, in DK and AJ Brown, what teammates there for a little bit? I mean, with an absolutely nightmare scenario. Okay, well, good luck to Terry. Hopefully gets a job done.
If you were seeing not of him talking to Warner, it was talking to Buddy Baker, his agent. That's from today. That is from an hour ago or whatever. So Buddy Baker with Terry on property.
Headscratching like Michael Trey, you know, great guy, great locker room guy Terry. Great locker room guy. And this is I think maybe his first year coming back with the same returning starting quarterback. You would think you would want that guy in the building and build with that offensive cliff and what they have.
You have to throw in a state of love and value. Oh, you're right. What am I saying? You know, but you Baker's an indie guy.
You should get him on there. Get him in the thunder. Yeah, definitely. I love agents.
I love Terry with Terry. With love to have Terry. Yeah, bring Terry. We love that.
Just you need to know over there Washington. There is not worth it. Get him out of there. You don't need any distractions.
Young career right now for Jaden. I saw Jay Lynn doing things down to feel making great catches. You got new ownership over there. You guys got to worry about stadium stuff.
That's a lot of like Terry and Buddy staying around the strategy guys and ship them both out of time. Send them right back to Indianapolis where they came from. Pick those guys out of your facility and send them right to Indianapolis. And if you might even get maybe a pick back like that.
Sir, sit around. I thought Terry McClure where to believe our shirt. He is. I believe he knows.
Okay, let's talk about some other stuff. I don't think the commanders over mind today that they have any interest in trading time or car. Now what's your fire? Good search of change and adventure.
Sure. But I think today on July 28, commanders have no interest in trading today. We'll see if anything changes over time. Okay.
What's going on Vegas? Huh? ABC report says only thing we've heard. It's very weird.
Now this is Nick Walters ABC Sports out there in Las Vegas. Say he's been trying to figure out what the hell happened here. What happened with it? We paid them a lot of money.
Great football player. They voided now 35.2 million dollars. That's going to be an entire thing in litigation with the NFLPA. And then him getting released was a very weird incident.
AJ, have you ever heard something described as such? What do you think? No, I would like to know what this weird even means. Like it's all relative to like it.
We need some context. What did this happen between one teammate chef? He's that would put it over the top to let him go or is this like a series of events? Did he go in the Mark Davis's office with a gun and say where's my 35.2 million?
That'd be very weird. Could have. That'd be very weird. I don't think anybody's ever done that before.
What is what have you heard about this? And is he how injured is he went he back? What what happens here with Christian? Again, from speaking to people inside the locker room, I think what everybody's dancing around and kept tiptoeing around is the fact that when you speak to people there inside the locker room, they say that Christian playfully went to kiss a teammate on top of his head.
And those same people said that player took offense to it. So that's what everybody's been dancing around and tapped dancing around an incident in the way where he allegedly playfully kissed a teammate on top of the side. That teammate felt offended by it. And that's what a lot of this talk and speculation that people have just been floating around out there is about.
Okay, so he kissed a teammate on a four head and a playful manner. Teammate said, Nope, not doing that. And what the agent are and reported the fire thing basically. What happened?
I think that's probably a fair and accurate way of saying things. So yeah, but that tells me a lot of things quickly. That tells me a lot of things. So if that happens in a locker room and then they go reported, that means the locker and probably didn't fuck with them, right?
That feels like that individual. I mean, you see some different things in a locker room, there are different people. This would classify as weird. Yeah, I was thinking they called the ball that's not what if they want to use your game with the guy they're playing.
Maybe they're playing Blu Ray and the guy here to double the party. Thank you. I'm kissing him on a four head. I never seen it either.
I'm just saying like, Hey, the pockets. This guy just lost all this guy lost 40 brands through me. Thank you. Let me give you a good luck against the top of the ball hit.
We've all seen the movie stuff like that. If this guy's a full head, if this guy's a full head, if this guy's a full head, if this guy's a full head, a full head, a full head, a full head, a full head, he's his boy out there. I didn't try this. Dude, yeah, yeah.
He didn't try this. Dude, so said that he wasn't doing that. If he's a hundred million dollar player, I'm assuming it was like Max Crosby. He's not kissing some practice squad player and then getting in that much trouble for it.
I'm assuming he's in some player. Maybe he put his finger on his lips and did the whole barber thing. Maybe there's a chance and I'm not saying this happened. I'm saying there's a chance that he grabbed the dog.
I don't think we completely rule that out based on what we see on the field. He's a guy that we've always said, great to have on your team. would hate to play against the past because everything and he's kind of own that I think that's kind of been here's his M.O. He has done things in the past that two players on kick in 8k in 4k that make you go Wait, how do we do that?
What is that and then now a kiss on a forehead in a lot? I guess the locker room was like hey, we still seem to clip to you on that's interesting That is very weird as very weird. Hopefully they get it all figured out. Hopefully Christian Wilkins finds a new team I think called would be okay Hey Well That's another real question here because again He was supposed to have surgery a couple of different times out in Vegas and for whatever reason that surgery was put off and I don't know whether or not he's going to have that surgery I haven't heard yet But my understanding is the timeline after a surgery that he might need could be anywhere from 12 to 16 So you're looking at something where if he had gotten it then earlier his chances of coming back sooner would have been greater Now, I think he would hope to join a team later in the season.
That would be the hope I don't know that he'll be able to play early in the season, but again different doctors have different takes I'm not privy to all of his medical information But my understanding is he doesn't need another surgery and that surgery is a 12 to 16 week surgery. Okay, so he would be able to play this Year then regardless um they avoided his contract as he kissed the guy on the head. No. No, that's not what they've waited his contract Because there was a disagreement over the way he was going about his rehab His foot injury basically the team had been asking him to have foot surgery over and over I think they were scheduled surgeries and they didn't get done and it's his body.
He gets to do whatever he wants Right, so I think they wanted him to get the issue corrected surgically. He kept walking at that It was not getting done I think the team grew increasingly frustrated over time because they wanted him to have the surgery done He didn't want to get it done Maybe he felt like he didn't need it. You'd have to ask him I don't know the full details there and so when there was a disagreement over that surgery whether or not to have it Whether or not to get it done putting it off putting it off again It got to the point where they're like hey, you know, this done We're not gonna have early in the year. We need this don't we need this don't we need this don't anything get done That face thirty five million dollar litigation and it looks like it sounds like Christian to probably win this one Don't know if we have enough money for the lawyers to fight it though because we're in the second floor of touches getting shoulder rubs Okay, so by the way, that's an issue right now with everything going on the league like there There are a whole host of things where players can use some help on certain issues like this one and psychos That is a great question.
We don't want to talk too deep in that because this is a positive show There's a lot of negative we could go that way again Might not be able to have the extra four hours or lawyer looking through every single clause because why well cinnamon wanted a little extra spin on the pole Down there at tootsies at 5 a.m. With the agenda The rock 30 at a LBA so we don't need to get into that we don't need to get into that good luck Christian feels like you might be a Professional golfer 35.2 million dollars If you don't want to get back into playing football in kissing somebody on a forehead without knowing if they would Get mad about it is an interesting thing to say about a teammate in a locker room personally If you're just a view out from that and kind of talk from a different level That's an interesting thing You know just to be like I kiss his gun for it and kiss him on for that kind of going the complete opposite way That kind of seems on-brand for him though It's just like you know what I'm gonna push this boundary if this guy doesn't like it He doesn't like it and I'll go find someone else so on that note as somebody that hasn't been able to read a situation Well, I don't chain the coach shaving one is not that Sometimes you misread some of them misread people, but yeah, I definitely misread that situation clearly he's good. What are we talking about? Let's go shave it dude.
Go up there. He was not Turn to NFL PA great question good luck out there I'm sure they'll make the right decision they have continuously for a long time Who's Cleveland gonna turn to a lot of question marks over there and also coach prime has a press conference coming out in like 11 minutes What's medical team we hope everything's okay? That sounds very very very serious for an absolute I'm gonna say it's thoughts and prayers with coach prime. We love coach prime and we'll let him update his medical condition as he Should hear in the next 10 or so minutes and everybody will be won't hurt Chef You can do it.
Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't you know coach prime.
We love you man We all love you appreciate you or what you've done for sports you're one of one a true anomaly in this world of you know Just copycats go ahead. Don't yes Chef to obviously coach prime Shador is in Cleveland. He's one of the four quarterbacks there and thanks to you Spien Cleveland. We know all the quarterbacks that's there coming out every single day Who is who is the front runner right now?
I'm seeing a lot of Joe flacco is leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else I know Kenny I think is dealing with a soft tissue injury. What's the update on the quarterback situation? Yeah, we reported yesterday that Kenny Pickett injured his hamstring and is basically gonna reevaluate it later this week He heard it at the end of Saturday's practice He had a couple of really good practices and look pretty strong And so it's not as it was told to me initially when we reported on this a run of the mill hamstring injury But he's got to see what's going on with that hamstring injury when he gets out on the field and tests it again now whether he tests it The day or the end of this week I think he's gonna miss a little bit of time here and obviously when you're competing for a starting job That's not great That would seem to indicate that Joe flacco if Kenny Pickett's gonna miss some time that would give him an advantage And you get the two rookie quarterbacks now again The only two mid-round quarterbacks that I've seen come in when they were drafted that late and start out of the gate were Russell Wilson back in 2012 and Dak Prescott and both guys lit it up in the preseason and when you watch them You knew that the team had to start him now We may see Dylan Gabriel or should door standards go out this summer and light it up in preseason and be like whoa That guy play and I want to see more of that in the next preseason game But short of one of those guys lighting it up We've always thought it would be one of these veterans and now pick it's down with a little bit of a hamstring issue And so Joe flacco is the lone veteran quarterback standing so advantage flacco right now But obviously a lot of training camp to go flacco also knows the fancy's offense very well I mean he led them literally to a playoff two years ago did not work out with the Indianapolis Colts So we assume that Joe flacco is gonna have the head start over everybody in the Cleveland Browns camp going in He was also talking like hey, I'm still a starter I don't know what we're even talking about here. Am I gonna be a mentor?
Sure, but I got to know what the hell I got to do for the game as well Joe flacco He's treating this as if it's his team I think and I know the the conversation around it is what about the future what about the future? How long do they have over there Andrew Barry in the fans key and everybody? You know because Baker Mayfield wins in the playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers see ya You know we're gonna redo this entire thing. We had success We need to rebuild it They obviously have a lot of stars on their team They spent a lot of money that Sean Watson contract was a massive swing in a massive miss We think it came from like over their heads, so they got a big leash in a leeway here is that's right?
Right, so that's right that and it came from over their heads and that Strapped that program down the last few years and Ken's the fans He's still one coach of the year twice and they still made a number of good moves and add a good players and have two first round Draftics in the 2026 NFL draft if that is the case and they were working with their hands basically tied behind it Why are we moving on from a great coach and a great GM? Like why are we doing that? And so I don't I don't view it as them being on a short leash In fact, they should have more time than they're given because of some of the moves that were made so if you're right about that and there have been many people I'm suggesting that you are then these guys deserve plenty more time in my mind. Okay, so we just found out that that's true I always questioned in my mind.
Just found out what it was. We always knew that has Andrew Barry I know he's very very well I think I've known since it's like 22 years old obviously XR for quarterback was with the Colts for a long time when he was like 34 I was hoping that he was gonna get the coach general manager job I have a lot of faith in his brain away. He operates the fancy what super genius right? Everybody says that super genius.
I believe guys well Yeah, so it's like it's funny to think about like well how they get the worst contract in history. Oh, it must not have been them Oh, it must have been that guy. Oh, yeah, because they were out of the running Remember is Atlanta in the words and then Cleveland comes back in it has some like hey, so I guess in things the feed stores We want you to come up here to the cold. All right last question before we let you go good luck to Stafansky good luck to Andrew Barry Good luck to the Browns faithful.
Jager. Jager's a faithful. Yeah, he doesn't need luck. Jager's these opportunities shine.
Who want big stage? He will do great. We know that especially with their brand new alpha dog Oh, yeah, and without Brownie operating as a whole. Go ahead Connor last question for you chef Yes, Chef Ben Johnson came out talks about Caleb Williams everything going on with him this training camp But that seems to be a massive negative in the NFL right now at least is Caleb Ben's guy for sure Should we view this as kind of just like a learning year or is there a chance that Ben Johnson does this year and then pull to Sean Payton?
Like a Russell Wilson get the hell out of the building Well, I think they brought in Ben Johnson because the goal was to essentially elevate Caleb Williams everything they've done is to elevate Caleb Lames so before we can even go there. I still think we're talking about a guy that was a number one pick That was regarded as an elite quarterback prospect and they brought him a guy with an offense who has specialized in elevating the performance The quarterbacks that's why they went out and spent all this money on the head coach and went out and got three different new offensive lineman and Basically came and produced all these players and you'll see to make sure that Caleb turns into the player He does if he doesn't I don't think it's gonna be because of him Johnson I think that they are committed to him right now. That's gonna be something we all follow now if the guy struggles bolters Hey, look, that's how the NFL works But I think they are giving Caleb every opportunity every resource that he deserves and it's up to him to make the most of it He doesn't we can continue this conversation. All right, Chef Hopefully we continue this conversation with you every single day until Super Bowl.
Yeah, they appreciate your brother football is back That means we got magic to talk about we appreciate the hell out of your brother Thank you guys for the great day. I'm a kiss off for him Hmm, okay, okay. I kiss the team That's how the chef plays All right, has him did do the deal. Yeah, yeah, I mean apologize.

I got bad property tax I've seen free in price stay on price are living in So if you're thinking about coming to play for the Colts or for the Pacers or for the fuel or the Fever the flavor of the freight freight possible other teams I'm thinking about AJ every other day. I'm thinking about bringing a professional sports team here at Indianapolis every other day What sport?
Well, I can't give that away multiple sports AJ. There's been multiple sports Just know these professional leagues that are kind of happening right now We've been snooping around all of them We've been we have been snooping around all of them just as we think it'd be hilarious to own a team Like we think that would be a very funny thing let alone at the sport is awesome and combative and physical and potentially sport of future coming I need the commissioner's number right now. That's what happens in this room So I we scoot we snoop around funny commissioner these leagues phone numbers face time cold Me Completely opposite all the people that are to mister's leagues It's not just one person this is multiple leagues that this has happened the people answer normally they're at their house or their office And it feels like I'm looking at the Jeff Bezos Amazon photo from whenever he was in that room with Like the Steve Jobs stuff whenever him and the other stever in the garage at the house or whatever That's what it feels like every time I face time these people you can see they're in the lab trying to make this league work You know, and I've enjoyed it all but just know we're snooping around always snooping around It's always hashtag up to something season. There's some big up to something's about to come to fruition for wishing though Here and I can't wait to drop these on the world go ahead I had a question for you I don't know if you are going to be coach owner owner coach player Let's say you know one of the top five players on your team top five five's pay players on your team Kisses another guy on the forehead.
What are you going to do? That feels like a locker issue. I'm staying out of it Remember I am gonna be a I'm gonna be a giving owner. Okay.
I don't think you can say out of that Know the style of player the Christian Wilkinson's aside from that Haha, you know, that's his style of doing things the style He's relentless every single way a little bit of a dog other teams hate him That is the style player that we are looking for in all the leagues over it Now can't be sucking four heads in the locker room. I remind you something especially not wanted four heads You know like if these guys want to suck face in there in my inner team and they're good at the sport and they both do what you got I'm not a group. This can't be unrequited. What's that?
You know the Christian Wilkinson's a dog quickly you guys forget sunshine kiss Gary Bertie Ryan ellipse they want a state title Yes, they did I Didn't it yes, it's all I'm thinking of it now They're tasty with that being said I don't think Mike Dean will have any second four-head Any of the sports Christian Wilkins used to play to try to connect the dots here You explain the AFC East with dolphins. I believe he was a rookie or in his early years when Tom Brady was quarterback of the New England Patriots I don't know if there was any beef But what if this kiss on the forehead was a you know Brady and his kids type of joke that Christian Wilkins was making already Kisses right on a little exactly right. You can't have you been watching him? Yeah, yeah, big zombie casual Yeah casual dunk very very cute and he's got Tom Brady's You know something we think about with Shador like we assume because she doors been around prime and prime has literally been preaching or teaching or coaching All of society especially the sports world via different shows his Twitter accounts and social media and then actually on the field All of us in the sports world for like the last 20 years I would assume that something has the osmosis through you know his head we would think So maybe Tom Brady's kid is the next coming of Tom Brady we shall see yeah, Jackie I believe there was a clip a few years ago of Tom Clay Thompson and Jack getting up jumpers working on his job A lot of clips clay Thompson feels like he's in love.
Yeah love talk. Congrats to him. Congrats. Bye guys pilot writer a boater Yeah Bolden state he had a place on the bay is house I think it went up for Sarah recently and just saw it very cool look at place and I think he would boat his ass through the games And shit like doe it's Captain Clay, yeah, like Jimmy Grove.
He's a flatter. He survived. He did it smashed up Five days, okay, then retired retired from football and from oh, that's a ball Jimmy Graham Stop going tight end should retire from rowing. We think just get started.
You never retired from rowing. I think you should you did it Also, he did the Arctic Ocean with a team of people they like one of them was sleeping the others were going through And they beat a world record. He just did this like two weeks ago or whatever the video is coming out with that We're disgusting not as disgusting as a tight end pot. Oh, jeez.
You guys what everybody was saying Let's go camping show shall we let's go to St Vincent College and Rogers in the brand-new Pittsburgh Steelers a little seven on seven here Okay, shut down. What do we do? Well, Pat Farmer is gonna run a little out DK Metcalf's gonna get checked out And Pat Farmer's gonna throw a chance you see that AJ. Oh, I did see that.
Yeah, what are they saying about him corner? I saw a lot of people down there at the trope saying oh, I'm not there again Of course, you know, hey the Rogers loves guys who pop on the field You're a homer we see the body wing Maybe I asked them Connor Fox you got that for me pal. I was definitely not pounding I was pissed at myself through my hands up. I ran the wrong route and I made the play with like shit So I was throwing my hands up and frustrating to myself definitely not sure of my quarterback Let's talk about the situation that just happened So we saw the highlight or I guess low light there yeah of Fire move over the weekend we come in this morning something very easy to say to tone to gas him up quickly Is that one of his players favorite players and humans for our move is in a terrible spot with Aaron Rogers?
Because he's pot pot. He's showing him up. I said all the answers that go up the way true the St. Vincent College are like Does move think he's better than a quarterback What is he doing?
I mean eight times this morning This is day three with this guy. No, there's a little fickle potentially and now you're gonna show him up in front of everybody The whole world to see literally that's what we just start soon as tone sits down It's just like so see this there was a bad spot everybody We literally face time for our face time cold face time I'm not Whatever it's like we record saying that and he did which is why we can't take anything from these training No serious Stewart in Cincinnati someone films in the caption just says Practice shape is much different than like workout shape Whatever I watch guy go through like two minutes of the drill and he looks fine like he looked He was good and explosive when he went up yeah in between wraps hands on his head But he wasn't like puking wasn't dying like why you trying to say this dude is dying people are trying to make things that are fair on that note It's like just like the stats conversation, which is why JJ watch tweet once so damn big and I would like to hammer home the fact that JJ is an internet guy Very good. He's doing TV. Obviously he'll be able to do whatever he wants He owns two soccer teams now.
He's gonna be a bazillionaires brothers wealthier than he is on the football field But off the field what JJ has done not only remarkable for the cities in which he comes from but also business wise very very good He's always been an internet guy. He very much is an internet guy loves to get in the conversation does not mind saying his opinion Isn't scared of shit and whenever he breaks down the stats conversation He does it in a very accurate way for how the internet has been at the beginning these stats are coming out I think I'll start with Richard Sherman getting cooked in San Francisco. Yeah, Richard was trying a new Something new jam To the team and say hey, I respect him doing this you guys are you guys don't know balls to do this because you know the media and the fans Are there watching camp practice? Yeah, so he got killed in his like hey, he's working on something new like hey This is this what practice is this what training camp?
Why we call it practice, right? It's what's called practice, but now it's got a point where there's so much sports coverage I mean you can't count us in this entire thing we're considered obviously sports media and sports coverage We're not always there's a lot of bloggers a lot of people that just go to the practice that have their own platforms record videos Never been through training camp That's not not holding that against them But don't maybe know what the fuck's going on and then all that needs is just a little bit gas behind it or somebody That doesn't like the person to kind of promote it and boom all of a sudden That's why him saying like hey if we give these stats were fun to talk about but now feels like you guys are taking them a little bit too Serious training camp is not real reps here now There's certain periods where it's like hey good on good this shit matters Then there's other parts of practice where the trying things for our moose just wait They paid him a lot of money. He's gonna be one of the top ten's in a league this year We think we think for our moose is gonna be one of very smart obviously very intelligent player very good football player He's a veteran now. He's fucking up in seven on seven.
There's a chance other people also make mistakes So whatever you see a quarterback potentially throwing interception Maybe the wide receiver wasn't what you're supposed to be or maybe the quarterback through a shitball or maybe quarterback was trying a different Throw, you know like hey, can I get this over a linebacker in front of a safety if I try this? Nope can't it was a pick one back the other way. Okay, we move forward It's hard not to overreact everything. Yeah, but I appreciate JJ going like yo, yo, yo We gotta pump the brakes a little bit on how much he's that's actually matter because we have no idea the context of any of these Periods they don't matter But at the same time they do to us because we were so hungry for anything Anything all right now So you see it and you're investing you're bought into a team like you want to see like cleanly put out the quarterback stats every day I'm sure it's going on here in India to with a quarterback competition But yeah, you're right like there are so many things that go into what players and what coaches and what coaches are trying to do Or trying to get done the guy like Richard Sherman who knows he's gonna be on a roster Yeah, you're gonna be working on things a rookie That's just trying to make a team every rep is like liver die But I mean it's different everybody's kind of in a different situation even like the real game film like when you go back I'll go back on Sunday sometimes or Mondays You know putting everything DB together and I played knows in those games in those meet rooms But I don't know the conversations that was had on the sideline Hey, if they run this route gonna pass it off We're gonna stay with I don't know but I can take my best guess We really don't know the PFF grades we don't know we don't know and at the same time all this media the NFL is keen for a reason Because so many people care about so many people care about everything But the narratives are dangerous though because you can create this narrative now Let's say smooth here two weeks into the season.
He's not getting his targets or it's an interaction here on the sideline It's like hey, remember, you know training camp week two, so we just give it take But that's what we are right now July 28th, you know every rep every practice rep every practice that kind of matters him answering that face time In us all oh Oh look good it was electrifying cuz he sees now the internet say that he's pounding trying to show up air and he's like Oh, no, not only that I ran around. I mean this is wrong route messed everything up Oh now everybody thinks I'm embarrassing the quarterback and I'm not a potter It was like kid kind of straw fit to the fire move brand Oh, yeah, this one play and everybody's watching it because all Aaron's teammates don't like them already He's like I'm a runner Hey, I saw something differently than everybody else But we just move on and that's how king to your point the NFL is it's a beautiful thing But it's also a fishbowl and you are at all times and all we can do from outside Just try to read the lips of what's going on inside of it I mean everything that they're doing with Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams right now You know like put out how many picks he's throwing he's learning a new offense obviously But even people like cherry picking and putting Ben Johnson's face, you know for a screenshot from his opening press conference to like yesterday After Caleb's been struggling a little bit. It's like oh, no This guy realizes he's made a massive mistake like almost pushing for like a hey week for these guys are gonna Have a huge, you know, they're gonna get each other's faces on the sideline They already hate each other's guts like it's it's hilarious and it's almost like bears fans You know, I mean granted a lot of that is Packers fans seeing that and kind of just being like oh yeah Yeah, but then you also see bears fans like oh no like this this is true. This is what's going on Because bears fans deep down they know they have that feeling Everything's bad.
It's always there. It's always there's always there's always all they need just a little bit in them And then the backup starts throwing touchdowns like wait, wait, wait, wait, wait With Jeff fans on Friday or whatever Justin's gonna start off there like on his ACL. Yeah, he's not forever is just a total I saw some people saying it was maybe the Achilles you know cuz I'm not gonna talk about it turns out it was a total issue Maybe a fraction of this look at it. So I think he's already back out.
Yeah, he was but they didn't even have the chance to say new regime new era New time new chapter Jets fans are just I got I mean co-set me five texture Yeah, I found out about it through a five fuck mother fuck of course That's how I found out about this in real time. I think as he was getting carted off. I was receiving text Oh, they just turn the golf cart wheel left. Oh bang bang bang bang bang bang It was it was good talk about it.
Yeah, the JJ McCarley stuff too. Have you seen this as well? No, I've seen JJ get buried with a clip from last year's Oh training camp and like that is also now We're gonna Smith pick today's last year's ago. Yeah, and it's like Jesus.
I didn't know Pat's July 21st. Yeah, it's like always a quip of them full patch when no one's even very started I mean get up or first they posted something they had to say sorry It's hard times brother. I don't think you know the internet is a very creative in talented place I mean, I saw somebody pull clip from Marshall from 2023. Oh, geez.
I had to date on the video It's right on the pole. Yeah, this is her two years ago. You guys say about I've said a lot of yeah That's gone off. It's a wild time on the internet and joining us now as a man who knows all the answers you and every fool He's unfoolable.
Mm-hmm. This man is no fool. No, no. It's man's in any award winner.
Mm-hmm. This guy's been hosting get up. You've been seen Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, pressure. Where do we go?
Let's see if we can make a list of good ones. I mean we're talking everybody's in summer I mean we're pretty casual. It's on everybody in summer casual. Not this guy.
Yeah, so shut up. Yeah Yeah, I put this up real comfortable in the desk to see a couple of these Ladies and gentlemen insider analysts pundit from ESPN friends program. Yeah Let's go. Hey, good hosting out of you, but I know you're a host Nor did NFL Network.
Let's go Yes, let's go same world now I believe at this point. I'm here. I think it was a shell and they when he won he was like I want to be Michael Jordan. I want to be the bet.
I'm here like let's go I'm not taking anyone's job anytime soon, but I loved it I absolutely loved it and credit to the producers and the executives and to greeny and Stephen a and Molly for letting me do it But I had a blast of some get up and first take it was really fun. It's your point football is here Let's go. Let's around shot the fossil ice room. He was a masterpiece of that entire thing What a legend.
Yeah, so he's on a little bit of a world for right now. Oh, yeah, we see him on Wednesday He's gonna be Paul 50, baby. I think it's been going great. I think it's been going great.
Okay, Shranks Let's talk a little bit about football shall we Christian Wilkins deal? So Chef's are clarified some things. He said that it was a kiss on forehead player said ah we ain't doing that Yeah, let's just get him out here now. They want him to have surgery.
He didn't want to have surgery I think Michael Thomas in the Saints had this situation a couple years back where they thought he should have surgery He said I don't want to have surgery then season came he had to get surgery miss time There's a whole thing I think this has happened in the past about how you deal with an injury what a player wants what the team wants What are your thoughts on that whole situation? I mean obviously in two three weeks from now Christian Wilkins will sign with another team we assume he has a three to four What do you say four to six twelve to sixteen four six and weeks three to four a month Recovery if he does have the surgery we think you'll probably be on another team We've thoughts on that whole situation over there Shranks shifters on it in that this is a I guess I would say a quick sonic individual and some of his stuff that he did in Miami was embraced and they loved it But yeah, he talked to the Bills players. They absolutely hated and the stuff he would do after the whistle He would agitate he was like a bill bill and beer type if you're on the Pistons But if you were on another team you couldn't stand this guy well he gets the Raiders last year and the hope was you got him on the inside You got Crosby you got the seventh overall pick tight Tyree jacks from a couple years ago I want to like we're gonna be a front 17 gets hurt mrs Most of the year and then a whole new brass comes in and some of the stuff that he was doing maybe wasn't embraced as much from the teammates here in Vegas as it was in Miami and then of course when you've got a new GM and John Spytak who comes in from Tampa and a new head coach and Pete Carroll like we're telling you to get surgery you're not getting surgery we're gonna move on now to your point He's got a legitimate case with the PA hey like this is my body I don't have to get surgery because the team tells me he's gonna have a voice in this But with the PA being in the current state that they're in that might be on hold as well So he's no longer a raider. I'm not sure if he's gonna get that money I would imagine he's got a good strong chance to appeal that and we'll probably see some of that money They saw the way this went down But I think it's more of the latter stuff that Adam was referring to than the kisses on the forehead Okay, got it Pete Carroll talked his shit a little bit last week It's like hey, I went man.
I don't know what to tell you just look it up and uh Gino does do it to states I believe in the Raiders and Max Crosby I always gonna believe that Max gonna be able to get the job done Maybe this chapter this era of the Raiders takes him back to the Raiders We shall see go ahead AJ. Yeah, what about the dolphins you Christian welcome to a team maybe think about it I'm watching some clips online. Obviously if they're training camp They got a little bit of a scuffle. I saw so it's good to see some life out of the boys What are your expectations of the dolphins?
We see this here on the screen. Obviously them getting a little bit of yeah This is nothing serious But what do you think about this team? I feel like this could be a make a break year for multiple players and coaches on the staff Oh, I think I think that's how everyone sees this outside of that building and what's interesting is Tyree kill in week 18 had some crazy comments about how he doesn't want to be there anymore and he wants to be traded and everyone's like whoa Well, then you have a whole offseason He kind of talks it back talks it back into his first press conference He's like There's still wounds that are open here like we're still trying to figure that out and him saying that and to me you start off the training camp 99% of these courts were like, oh, we're good. We talked about it.
That was last year We're starting to whoa was either very candid very vulnerable or maybe saying something that I would personally if I'm a coach or a GM Like let's not start off on that foot and say that we're still not 100% where we want to be so an interesting way to start it But toa has been very vocal and post-impressed in press conferences the last couple years and there's been some real transition I think turn on instead being a starting left tackle and announcing you know He's no longer there as you know as recently as less than a month ago is a major major deal You're asking a team that is built on speed and is built on you know getting a good cushion in September and October before we get to those cold weather games You're asking that team to pick it up right away with I got a lot of new people But on the defensive side of the ball job Phillips two huge names that have not been available at the same time on the field I think those are gonna be enormous players in this thing But I think you ask around the league the dolphins are the one team that people are like, you know what? I got my hands. I don't know it's too great I don't know is every kill gonna come back to what it used to be I don't know and is Mike McDaniel still gonna be able to motivate these guys or is that ship sailed? I don't know so one of the great variable teams as we enter this season AJ and two years ago They put up 70 points against the Broncos and we were like they're reinventing offense Yeah, and a stealer said we'll take both your pro bowlers, you know, so that is a interesting dynamic for the dolphins fans in the room one of the dolphins fans obviously played professionally So he was able to pick up a couple other teams to become a fan of and then Post his playing career just picked up another team to be a fan of as well Super Bowl, which is good play I'm gonna let your shitty franchise control my emotions Other teams that page you to be a fan of them in the past if you pick up a couple teams might as well pick up a few others Especially if they're gonna win let's talk to a guy who's die hard with dolphins since he was a child Shrager said around elite their hands up.
We have no idea what this team got coach first week brothers this thing over before we to even get started for you guys I like getting make it back. I can't express how much I love that Jack Jones Mike Hilton huge signings I wasn't in what I said on Friday. You give me two veteran cornerbacks. I'm back it before noon on Saturday Look at us here.
We go Finn's week one though problematic. I don't know that turf that corn husk they can run fast on that cornhouse now Yeah, he's gonna be down there a lot hostile So stay than taking on eating up his boats which we know nothing about either. We hope they're great believe ours We are believe on man. We are believe ours.
We saw a guy who looked incredibly handsome out at the s we use tie as a question for you Yeah, Shrakes one of the big things a lot of people talking about right now is Stafford and his health Obviously giving your relationship with McVey. I'm sure you heard the comments, but for everyone who hasn't heard those comments This is what McVey had to say about Stafford. Okay, a little update on Matthew. He's doing really well You know, we've got a good plan in place.
We are gonna still take some more time with him though Nothing that's changed in terms of the setback. I probably spoke a little bit too soon But the ultimate goal is Houston and being mindful of that so we'll take it a week at a time with him So I did want to be able to you know let you guys know about that based on sitting down with Reggie and with Matthew and Talking with Dr. Watkins feel like that's the smart thing to do You know we get a time with him so Shrakes. I know you aren't flying coach with McVey anymore per se but Great show.
Yeah, great show unbelievable would love to see that come back Present patient. What is the level of concern here with Stafford? Obviously everyone knows how tough he is But he is getting up there like if you're McVey or if you're a Rams fan What do you think the level of concern with staffers health is going forward? I have to be careful here because I'm not there every day, but I don't think there's a great level of concern as far as Matthew being ready for week one Ready to go, you know, they don't play preseason anyway These starters on the Rams that's always been McVey's mantra and I think they're just being ultra ultra cautious Anything you have a back tightness or a back soreness But the feeling I get speaking to people in that building and it's not just Sean It's others is that Matthew's gonna be ready for week one and all of their doctors and medical personnel are confident that he will be ready And I'll tell you this is a team that is built to we now is a team that is thinking they can win now They can take the whole thing and they're back a quarterbacks Jimmy Garoppolo So god forbid it, you know, I'm knocking on what if Jimmy Garoppolo can run an offense if they need to weak here We're there but there is no intention for community to be the starter to start Sorry Shrakes, so you're an Emmy award winner a great host everything you do We're gonna have a Jimmy talker.
Well people should not be laughing during your statements Would you like to know when he said Jimmy I just flashed back to Jimmy Devont and they're teammates in a different place now But I just you know yeah, there was a lot in that wide receiver show. Yeah about what's going over there now Jimmy's playing But I was with me straight straight just too close to McVey. He's holding the cards too tight. He knows that boy Stetson He's gonna raise some He's back.
It's not still there. I mean, you know, he's there and he's gone He lives that's better lives his own damn life And we respect shit out of him, but Matthew Stafford back by seasons what everybody saying and we saw him Yeah, I don't like it was a no zero panic I understand in you know, you look ahead line. You're like, oh wow, but like zero panic there and it doesn't move the needle as much You say he'll be fine, but he'll be fine. Okay, Puka.
I saw him at the sp as well He's a rock hard as a rock that is unbully. He has suit on it was tailored obviously and he looks like he's a batman with the cable Like the way he's he's a monster. Dap up. I give him the bill polion flat You know, but all you used to do this people first day back.
Hey, are you doing for a hug? Great to see you guys great to see and it's full pack down just to feel how you do it Okay, and I didn't realize that until I came back really fat one time and he was hitting all of them In the back any other I'm like, oh, this guy's pat me down right now Just to see if I'm in favor. It's actually not a bad play not a bad play So Puka we do the hand slap then I go in for the hug as I do the hug I realize hold This guy used gigantic and then I hit him in his back and it was literally like So I'm like Jesus Christ Puka is absolutely stacked that team almost actually Yeah, almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost Aaron Donner retires who knows what this team's gonna be I have to start over basically with Matthew Stafford now They move on from Cooper cup and everything like that and that's gonna be a storyline and hurt anything But in back it's yeah, no, but maybe we will continue to hear as campros on But it's like I don't think anybody was expecting the Rams to be what they were last year No watching them do what they did though fun team to watch and make plays offense Especially snappin spinning it always gonna be efficient. Yeah, one of the games of the year was bills Rams.
You remember that game? Or is this a no it was all points? I don't know I don't think there were any punts and then a guy that we all really loved coming out was Blake quorum They didn't even use Blake quorum last year to come back. Yeah, they're kind of they're sneaky One-night game they won that game on that Sunday in the very following week I believe it was Sunday night and the Eagles just absolutely trashed them at home and it was like all right How we rebound from this and they had a lion's game and you look at what happens in the playoffs And that is what is lingering with them and they tasted he thought you have one more possession like one more play Like this this could happen They were so close and they think they got significantly better this offseason They love the tight end at Oregon.
They love what they got out of the font they had him so far He's been unbelievable Like I hate to do this because it's so soon and training cable like a sea training can't play out But two big storylines for me are the Rams and whether they can get even better and then the 49ers if they can resurrect after what was a Completely completely forgettable season last year Which they would like to put way back and they instead of saying let's tear it down and try it again They brought back kiddle they brought youth check back They went and they signed perdee like these were the tight These were the two teams of the NFC West for the last decade and both of them think they're back and better than they've been I'm fascinated to see how it plays out with those two teams who one of them surprised and folks the other ones really disappointed No chatter about the Niners at all. No none. I don't think there's been any chatter at all I don't think I've seen one Brock birdie pass on the Internet. He's had a baby congratulations.
Yeah, girl dad Um, I haven't seen any I'm gonna Nine or something. Yeah, I haven't seen a single thing. It's probably good though given what we're seeing last time years Is as long as we don't hear christian McCaffrey's name and Achilles. Yeah, we were too early.
I mean that that was First. Yeah, that's really yeah, that was right. I'm excited to watch these things be back as well and uh Congrats to west coast doing this thing. There's a team going all in though in uh the old city will be there on Wednesday live Saying venture college come see us go ahead.
Yeah, she will be boots on the ground in latero cannot wait Actually saw some comments from your old co-host Kyle Brandt when he sat down with Aaron Rogers had a great great answer on the Terry brash I think I also spend the time with his teammates. What are you hearing early on with our Aaron and his new squad and how things are going That it's going awesome and that this is what they envisioned and they were okay waiting months and months and months while the rest of us Were getting impatient. They were not and Mike Tomlin never pressured him Mike Tomlin never told him we need an answer by here Now or when and when Rogers was ready he showed up and he has been what they hoped a veteran presence who is lifting everyone and galvanizing everyone I've taken a lot of heat already this summer. I've been at ESPN for about three months And I've been leading this bandwagon of just watch out for the Steelers They didn't do all these moves to finish 10 and 7 and miss you know the division around again They believe they're super ball contender and Omar Khan said it on the record earlier last week And you look at the moves they're making and when you've got Rogers from the for what they're looking at at 42 years old coming off You know two years off in Achilles and then DK painting what they're paying him and then the Ramsey move Which I know you like make a Fitzpatrick But if you're gonna pay a corner, you know that money you're paying a corner that money not paying a safety that money It was almost like they saw this vision of Jalen Ramsey bringing it the same way they see Rogers bring it saying hey My career is not done.
This door is not closed. I'm high on Pittsburgh I'm curious to see what you guys think when you get there in the trope But everyone I spoke to in the organization is like this is not a half measure And as much as you on tv want to talk about the Ravens the Chiefs and the Bills We want to be in that conversation too. We belong in that conversation. Yeah, it's tough Hey, you've seen yours obviously that's gonna be a tough kitchen to get out of it is always hot Aaron Rogers is spending it every video I see I assume Arthur Smith is jacked up They released Cordaro Patterson earlier today.
I know Arthur Smith probably had to hate that Obviously the game hates that as a whole such a unique talent cordaro Patterson I remember when he was just a kickoff returner absolute base. Thank you guys running back He goes tight end and I think it played him on defense a little bit special teams I mean he was an absolute monster I'm excited to watch the Pittsburgh Steelers live in person Well, I've Omar Khan with us on Wednesday and the one o'clock hour and here is what training camp looks like outside of Latrobe This is like a pilgrimage that every person in western Pennsylvania feels obligated to take at least once in their life As a child or at least once as a family this is for training camp And you know a lot of people talk shit about training camp practices and the intensity of and everything like that A lot of these people will never be able to get the opportunity to get Pittsburgh Steelers tickets because season ticket waitlist I think for the Pittsburgh Steelers like 30 40 years or something like that The ticket prices are insane especially this year without all the games are gonna be So you got a lot of people in western Pennsylvania are like let's go see these Steelers build the team that they're gonna build Plus you get some interactions plus you get a chance to see it all it's uh, it's a cool thing up there and saying I Growing up I used to head up with you know family We'd see I killed it in the Giants like that was a real thing like when you like in August when you get a chance to get out there and you're going with family and friends and whether it was the Jets in courtland or at Hofstra or the Giants up in Albany like it was a real cool experience as a kid And I think some of these teams the Steelers for sure the bill still do it The Chiefs still do it when you get out of the facility and you go to these college campuses There is something special. I'm happy that hard knocks is covering the bills this year Because I truly think it's a really sensational thing that they do when they get into these campus in these small college environments It's almost like real camp and you come out of this thing galvanized ready to go of course But for the fans who don't get the chance to go to a game on Sundays and who usually are relegated to dealing with it on their couch It's awesome to see these players up close and up front and I think letrubas a fantastic job with it Getting away eliminating all distractions. I think it's great.
You know it's talking about birdie just birdie just having a baby or whatever I know a lot of guys that had a couple kids that didn't mind having to go to train a camera Long here for 17 days. All right off days to get 19 in total. Oh, thank you. Okay, we're gonna use those Good one more note though on the point you guys are making beforehand about the popularity of like stats and what JJ was saying Again, I was playing with NFL Network But we used to get like research from Brian roll-off who was the head guys now at the PGA Congrats to him and roll-up and I would and I would say you know gosh like we're doing good morning football three hours on August 2nd Like I do I mean we're doing full shows we're traveling everywhere Like we want to save some of our efforts to the regular season or maybe spend some of that money and do it You know around the playoffs the NFL Network's highest rated month year after year after year was August Not February not January not December and August because of the optimism because of the excitement because of the inside training camp For what did you get?
It because of fantasy football so all those things it all adds up to why we're so excited to what Darius was saying like we're getting a stat And you don't you know we should resist it But when you see like a sick catch or you see a sick player and Odell Beckham style It's hard not to get excited because we're so starved for it August at the time where all 32 teams in their fan bases Think that this might be the year there's a chance it might be the year hey literally Everything thinks that at this point because there's been showcases in the past of teams Maybe brand new coach brand new players same players new vibes new year you go from the absolute outhouse to a penthouse Maybe the Panthers never know Panthers are the team that aren't fully shite this year t-max making an insane catch I don't know if you saw that saying uh one on one's down the right side Remember this dude was like one of the top high school volleyball players coming out of high school I think that helps with his ball tracking what he did in Arizona was absurd and yes This was glue this was glue coverage in t-max catch radius is absurd and his ability to make contested catches is what everybody had been talking about Yeah, it's about the red line all the time in practice and You throw it back up you want quarterbacks want their receiver to stay on that red line so they can throw him outside and make it Mope because I age I say great coverage but once you throw outside and you got a big frame Got like that DB really has no chance outside of taking him to the ground and try to you know punch it out that way What if the Panthers aren't shy? It could be cool be good for the entire uh city down there But definitely tapper who is certainly put himself into a lot of jackpots on that no tone as a question for you Yes, right I do you talked about you know the the Rams and the niners being the biggest story lines that you're looking forward to Have you heard anything or talked to anybody yet that's kind of surprised you or interested you about a player or team or a Really on in training camp. Yeah, I mean There's two players and one of them is close to me one of them is close to someone in that room right there that we could talk about One of Malik neighbors is absolutely tearing up Giants camp and Russell Wilson's been the one who's been throwing him the rock for a lot of these apparently Neighbors looks like he's way better than even last year dialed in and every single day has just been un guardable The other quarterback and the other player that I think someone in that room is gonna be happy here I hear Drake may is absolutely wonderful so far also again It's early these might not be surprises, but when you get here two leaps It means they spent the off season working and they spent this the pop Douglas here The Jews out of Patriots camp right now about Drake may is very real and they'll bring it down because it's back to that old school style It's very bullets McDaniel It's a lot of those guys and they're not gonna pump up their quarterback But Drake may came ready to play Drake may came ready to work And I would just say don't be shocked if we see a year two giant leap from Drake may Favorite in one 11 games. I mean the sports books think that they're gonna be good too and variable just wins Yeah, so I whenever he was released or fired from the Titans were all surprised him going back to New England storybook shit up there Really is actually actually genuinely as he goes into the ring honor And he's one of the most beloved Patriots of all time when you talk about you know the history of the Patriots and where they were and what has happened these last five years When you think about what they were Mike for able it's one of the first five guys that pops into your head Look at those calves a guy still working the sneaking in this morning.
What was that? Yeah? Defer the player with the most touchdowns Recieving touchdowns. Yeah, because the fridge I think had a few there Oh, yeah, yes, most receiving touchdowns.
Uh, Ma's got it right. Mm-hmm That'll probably get broken this year though because allegedly Bubby's Pulain's not coming off the field Well Travis Hunter. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, so it's gonna be Travis Hunter and Bob's playing kind of Yeah, yeah, maybe Bo Melton.
Let's talk about Travis Hunter. How many practice reps that he have there 70 something? Yeah, there are 83 snaps 36 on offense 47 on defense and there's the highlight of him just smoothly breaking just so naturally explosive and spatial awareness insane I was able to get around the potential Screen there to break it up and then obviously celebrates looks very easy effortless with everything he does Liam Cohen Obviously he's been brought in there to make this offense go and Trevor Lawrence do his thing Stoner after drafting Travis Hunter and training up at two to get him type of promo That was like this is what football is football is testing the boundaries football is not getting boxed in football Is about changing the game forever football is about Travis Hunter like he gave this entire speech basically about hey We are here. We are real and the reason is because of this guy now You got people on defense side of the ball that are NFL legends that are like hey this guy's corner No questions yet any other people that can we put a package in for him on offense full time?
I think there's people that certainly believe that Travis Hunter obviously is a name that's gonna be synonymous with electricity forever How does Jacksonville view him at this moment? And I think we all love that he's getting work on both sides here They're seemingly giving him a real chance at this. Yeah, they're giving a real chance and it hasn't been done We saw champ Bailey do it a little bit We saw Charles Woodson do it a little bit of course Deanna a little bit Roy Green 1981 Saint Louis Cardinals I believe was the last wide receiver defensive back to play really that many significant snaps on both sides They look at this guy as a number two overall pick that they traded next year's number one to move up to get because they think he's a franchise changer And for Gladstone who's 34 years old and for Liam who's 39 years old and for Grant Youdinsky the offensive coordinator who's 28 years old. This is a young group who just got the keys to the castle and they're like hell Why not?
Why not? Let's try it. Um Travis Hunter's been awesome They they love what they've gotten out of them question is the 18 week season How are they gonna be able to manage his snaps and not burn them out too soon? But in August everything is sky is the limit and they're talking as if this guy was worth everything they give up together I think we gotta be very thankful that his college coach believed in him to play both positions as well Most places would have said buddy.
You're too good of a lockdown. You're too good of a wide receiver You can only do one coach prime had a plan for him literally since high school and it feels like it's gonna work out on that note There was some breaking news from a press conference this hour Deon Sanders and a medical team from the University of Colorado came out and revealed information that he had a cancerous tumor on his bladder They've had surgery and uh, he said he has now cancer free, but obviously he released a video yesterday Kind of talking a little bit about his situation where he said he had to put a wheel together He also came out and said that he did not tell his boys about this diagnosis Just said it was something with his foot when she has already had surgery on and had blood clots So we would like to let coach prime know that we appreciate the hell out of him leaving his stuff out of his boys life That is a very admirable and heroic thing to do especially in such an important time of their life While battling his inner demons and also our inner cancer and inner problems and we would like to let him know hey hell yeah, prawn What are we? Yeah, hell yeah, we need him that was very serious. Yeah, that's very serious and obviously the bladder Anytime any of your internal organs catch it cancer or something that can grow Yeah, he said if you didn't get it checked it would have never been in this situation had early find obviously had surgery He's gonna be back where uh congrats, folks.
We love you man I get those checkups, but he's that's what he also said at the end of that message everybody go get checked So he has the platform and not only does he share his story, but he encourages everyone to go get checked Which is gosh what a message I was watching down there in Texas all off the season And it didn't feel it felt different right then if you like it was a little bit of different But we didn't really know what was going on like obviously his kids are gone from Colorado So is he done with Colorado or what's going on here? Everything was kind of quiet didn't hear a lot of chatter about it all They go through their spring. He's kind of away still away Uh, so to hear this diagnosis and hear that he beat it hell. Yeah, coach brian what a perspective order You know what a perspective order for all of us just thinking about coach brian who seems invincible AJ and then his foot happens blood clot happens you're talking about greatest athlete mount rush more of all time having his take place It's a nice learning lesson for all of us AJ.

He hires his ex-wife's brother to be his manager moving forward has about 10 number one hits He's touring the world. He's married to christie brinkley life. Can I go better?
He looks at his bank account. He has zero dollars Why because frank weber his ex-wife's brother who was his manager stole it all from underneath him And then he has to come back so he goes on a 10 year tour of traveling to to Indonesia and to Russia Just to make the money back and then he comes out with with we didn't start the fire It's number one hit in the world and he takes it all back and he makes all the money back Someone say kind of a weird thing to hire your ex-wife's brother in law to do something so important and have access to all of your money He may have been boosted up at the time.

It was like a walkier. It was a contract year He was definitely not gonna stay with the Brewers But he played with them for half a season started 17 games. He threw seven complete games in those 17 games These are his last three starts He basically put the Brewers on his back to get him into the playoffs Look at the amount of pitches he's throwing there and the amount of innings like that kind of stuff doesn't happen anymore All on three days rest too like cc was just he was a goat He was a goat and uh the other big story right now cal rally has kind of the big The big dumb press continued to dump on people if you will Uh you look at all of like the historically what he's doing as a catcher the uh the record for most homers in a year for a catcher It's 48 he could he could just be terrible for the rest of the season And he should eclipse that as of right now he is on pace to pass erin judges 62 homers, which would be the al record Um, I don't know what you're saying. It's johnny bench catcher Yeah, johnny bench who would One aj's goats Lutely Don't touch johnny bench He was very good He's really Defensive metric Throw guys out at second basin Jason kendell is going to be Yeah He's going to throw a piece of Binitos Santiago also a big snap back behind you know throwing at the first base from oh yeah exactly picking guys off Cal rally though has had his July has been terrible He's about 176 he's still hitting the homers, but like even with that He's still on pace to break the al home run record And yes he did pass judge in the american league mvp odds judge has a flexor string in his elbow They thought he might have had like a full uc l terror, which would have been tommy john he would have been screwed So he's gonna be on the 10 day.
