• 1:14
  Speaker 4: It's full of stuff. Perfect.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Perfect. This is the first day, though that we've had.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing the players love a day like this. I
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: mean it's overcast yet sweating your.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Face off, don't at all.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels pretty good out here.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: It feels great. Ready to go.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: You know, we had to kick it off.
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: In fact, let's run this audio back, Nelly, can you
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: give us again? Sean Payton talking about the unofficial depth
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: chart yesterday with the media, and hear his response to
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: that again.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: One of them, the depth chart has to be released
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: in a certain time. Would you like to see the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: NFL get rid of it?
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: No?
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, no, come on no.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: We just released the depth chart yesterday. All good. I
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: just didn't spend a lot of time on them. But
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: what's the purpose of doing you ask them.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think for every game, I think it's
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: important there's a depth chart.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: It's a starting point. I just didn't want to make
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: a big deal over the rookies all being at the
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: end of the line and you guys went into a tizzy.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: So all right, they're all at.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: The end of the line, and obviously that'll change.
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: I'm with them on that, though, Leggy. It's like you
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: can read between the lines. I don't think Troy Franklin's
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: the twelfth man on the depth chart. I don't think
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: Padrick Estimate's fifth on the running back chart.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, come on, no, come on, I think get
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: too excited about it. It's just something. It dates back
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: to the Roselle days when when Roselle was very intent
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: on making pro football accessible to fans, right, so they
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: he made teams say what your lineup's gonna be Because
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: coaches Peter knows he deals with all the time. I
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: mean the coaches. Will you give a coach a choice
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: between not saying something and saying something, They're always going
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: to choose not saying something. But just don't you like.
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: The fact that Sean's not afraid to take on the
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: three forty five park. He always takes on three forty
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: five park.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: I think the suspension, the suspension still rings true Avenue. No,
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: he did not, Jeff, No, that's that everybody knows that
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: sometimes they don't look beyond Park Avenue. But don't you
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: let as a reporter covering the team, that's refreshing, right, Yeah,
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: I mean you probably remember remember Mike Shanahan did it
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: alphabetically one year, he did the depth chart alphabetically right,
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: and the league was like, hey, uh.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Take it a little bit more seriously than you are.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: And then one one time they got on Mike for
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: the injury report. Oh yeah, So the next week he
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: listed like forty five guys on the injury report.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: Your best guess for this weekend, though, what do you
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: think it's actually gonna look like as far as snaps
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: divvied out to?
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: First of all, do you think starters play?
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he will play starters. If you're healthy, you will
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: play probably fifteen to eighteen snaps if you're a healthy starter.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Does that mean when he when he when you hear
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: him say phase one, Phase two, phase three, he's talking
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: healthy levels of players. Your Phase one if you're completely
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: healthy and you have no issues, Phase two if you're
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: coming back from something. Phase three if you've been hurt
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: in camp so far.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: Does that mean that Stidham's fifteen to eighteen snaps.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Or I don't think they do that differently with the quarterbacks.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: No, I mean he said yesterday probably closer to what
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: it looked like last year, and last year it was
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: like fifteen eighteen, gotcha? So then I'm guessing Steiadham he
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: will get the start this time, so then Bo goes
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: with the two I would think so. But I think
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Bo will have a I started the game series of
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: plays with the one line. Yeah, or with a one script.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I guess I should Okay, Oh, so one script.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: I think he will get a very comfortable script to
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: look good.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I completely agree with that. I don't put too much
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: into it because it's early on. We don't hear from
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the quarterbacks a ton like we did.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: And you're super bored.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: You're super bored. And I'm not going to say I'm
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: not going to sit here and break down guys demeanor.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: If it's a continued, continuing thing, then that's one thing.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: But Bo was bo Nix was a little bit I
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: want to say snippy yesterday. But he's a little bit
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: short at times, a little bit this.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: M welcome to the league. I'm tired of being asked
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: about what he's being asked about.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Do you what do you think?
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: I get tired of bad answers to but I don't
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: show it. I love well, that's what I was saying. Oh,
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: he's got to learn not to show it.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, you got to just be better at usually
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: and look, being the quarterback here as not being the
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: quarterback in like twenty other places in the league. Either,
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: you know, this is a different You know when Peyton
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Manning asked me, is it like this all the time?
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: That's that tells you what kind of place this is.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, no doubt about it.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: But do you think that it would be different if
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: he was playing for the Jets this year? Yeah, or wherever.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, there's a million places you could play. It
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: wouldn't be do.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: You But do you think it's a it's a product
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: of him being tired of asking if you being tired
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: of being asked the same question? Or is there a
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: little frustration coming out because I haven't have you seen
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the offense winned day yet here in training camp?
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Not fully? Okay, in the last two days have been
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: really uh be exactly. They added pressure packages yesterday and
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: it was like offensively they had never seen anything before.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Soul that could that figure into perhaps to his demeter.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: And you know, I don't think meetings. Meetings in training
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: camp are not fun when they go over everything you
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: did in practice, play by play by play, and you yeah,
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: and I've got yeah, I've got to twenty somethings who
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: roll their eyes at me all the time when I
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: give awesome directions. Well that's because you're kidding your kids
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: and using the film. Yeah breaking this down. When when
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: you took out the trash, why did.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: They yeah.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Scrave it up.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Let's look at this lid opening technique.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: You know, when they see the telestrader come out, then
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: they're a little.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Bit of you know what like you.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: One thing that we were talking about earlier, I was
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: asking Peter about, you know, the guys who've been suspended
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: for gambling stuff, and you've got one back to wajo Rican. Obviously,
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: if you're suspended for a year and they kept you
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: on the roster, they seem to like you.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Like oh that white translation certainly.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: And the defensive front I will say, they have a
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: lot of depth, like they're solid.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: They do like him, and because of that depth, he
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: may end up a practice squad guy this year. And
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: you know, best thing, only, maybe the only good thing
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: that came out of COVID in the league is the
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: practice squad. Now is what sixteen is finally what it
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: should resemble. You know, well, I'll remember when it was three,
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: it was like the dumbest thing. Ever.
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: Well, also you have practice squad elevation too. That came
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: from COVID too, and that's fantastic. And you can be
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: a veteran. There's a veteran minimum on the prey and
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: you can make a pretty good living. You know, it's
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: only fourteen thousand dollars a week.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, some of us like yourself. Yeah, as my wardrobe
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: would attest, I really need to be a wash in
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: the cag How about the divid fillers here, That's what
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: I do that. I do that a lot a lot
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: of days because they keep they only want to use.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: Next week they'll they'll finally use both fields, but this
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: week they only they want to be by the fans,
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: so they've used to the one field.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Stidham was was a little bit chatty yesterday.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: Well he's he's far more comfortable in what's going on
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: than the other two guys. But Zach Wilson, dude played
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: for Belichick, man, and the rest of it is like whatever.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: You know, he was in the room with Belichick and Brady.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: This is like a walk in the morning park for.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Being third on the depth chart. I know he's got
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: some guaranteed money and all this kind of thing. But
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Zack Wilson seems to be a pretty happy, go lucky
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: son of a gun too with I mean, he could
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: be pouting about his situation and maybe he did. Maybe
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: he did did not get a real shot.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: You want to talk about not showing your I mean
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: he I you know, when you're removed from the rotation
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: that quickly.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not But I liked but I like his demeanor.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: I like, you know, they like him here. I think
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: I think they will try very hard to figure out
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: way to keep him around. But they think, I know,
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: I know they think there's a lot there and that
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: with some work that they could they could get.
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: And deep programming and yeah, yeah, you just that he's
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: like a battered child syndrome.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: You know, when you throw those guys in the deep
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: end of the pool and you don't have the infrastructure
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: around him, you're going to end up. You know, people
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: wonder why the burnout rates so high a quarterback, It's
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: because people don't take care of the developmental park. Yeah,
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: he has some natural talent. Oh he's he has the
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: best arm of the bunch. And it's not really close.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: You know, as far as everything we've talked to, you
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: a little bit about position positions that might be log
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: jammed at the end of training camp. And I'm really
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: curious when this all starts to kind of sort itself out,
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: which positions are the really cutting that guy the surprise cuts.
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: I guess where do you think that comes from? Is
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: that the wide receiver group?
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Running backs?
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Definitely running back? You know, I think the decision really
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: is keeping four or three. Last year they kept three.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: But he has said, you know, Shawn has said he's
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: not married to a certain number at certain positions. And
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: I've told people he's also the only coach I can
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: remember to have kept four quarterbacks on on the cut
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: to fifty three.
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: Well, I think it all depends on how much they're
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: gonna use pe Ryan and is he a bell cow
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: or is he gonna be third or you.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Know, do they think one of those other guys can
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: be as reliable as p Ryan on third down?
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Will he?
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: Will they pick up? The let's pick up is a
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: big concern right now, and p Ryan has the trump
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: card on the other guys in that role.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: You and I were talking about estimate the other day,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and I thought it was interesting because I don't know
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: if you asked the question somebody else did about him,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: this is this a handful of days ago, and he
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: went out of his way to bring up some GP
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Ryan and and what he is able to do. I
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: think you know it was in picking up Yeah, it
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: was in blocks.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: Has that over the other guys right now.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: But but Sean Payton went out of his way to
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: say this is what, this is why, this is why
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: it makes him so voud because he can do this.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, and plus he can catch the football. And
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: I know that they're trying other guys in that regard,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: but it seems to me that when a coach comes
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: out and he doesn't he's not asked about a certain player,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: but he but he lauds a certain player. That's pretty good, right.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, it makes you feel pretty good about about
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: where he's at in camp right now.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: But again, you know, fifty three is an unforgiving number.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: And you know, all of the assistants and all of
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: the guys, everybody's got the their wants and needs, and
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: it's you know that that's that fine line between luxury
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: and got a half. But I will say, you know, third,
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: third down or longer down passing situations, Uh, those are
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: the big hit potential on quarterbacks and if if you
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: are a running back who is reliable in that, they're
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: going to keep you around or someone's gonna have to
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: show they're as good as you doing that. And also
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: I think over the year, Sean Payton has shown if
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: given a choice between youth and the consistency and reliability
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: of a veteran, he's going to go with the consistency
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: and the reliability of a veteran, especially a guy like
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's been there before. And the blitz pickup
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: is not as easy as it looks. It's you got
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: to know who to.
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: Block and a fast choice, and you've got to be
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: willing to block. And it's that's a tough, tough position.
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: And you're not putting a rookie there first, especially with
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: the young quarterback. Ye put him in the hospital, don't smoked.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: And I think that's part of the decision, you know.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: I think he's framed a lot of things as if
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: bo Nix will be the starter, whether or not whenever
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: he will say that or if and when, But they've
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: a lot of the things he talks about are framed
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: in such a way that it's almost like the plan
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: is the young quarterbacks in the lineup.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: Where we get offensive line wise, I know they're carrying
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: over four guys from last year. They were remarkably healthy
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: last season, got a new center.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: Well, Bailey's injury has really put things. They're searching now
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: for a backup tackle swing tackle, and I would guess,
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: you know, folks like Peter are going to be busy
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: with them and tackles after the cut to fifty three.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: I think they will. But there's no tackles and there
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: aren't any. There aren't any learnt any now learn hardly.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: This is why we talk about even swing tackles, but
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: left tackles whatever.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: But his injury, we don't. We don't talk. It's Quinn
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: Bailey and people are like, oh whatever, but no, it
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: was that was a significant injury.
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: Because when you're a swing tackle, then you're basically a
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: sixth offense lineman.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: And he's a swing guard too well, and he plays
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: you know that, he's heavy, he plays off. He plays
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: in the heavy off in the formation, the other tight end,
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: the whole bit.
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: If they stay healthy, though, do you think this offensive
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: line is all right or what?
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but they got to stay healthy.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: I mean they you know, Garrett Bowles was not in
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: practice the other day, and it was pretty evident he
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: was not in practice.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: You too, Center. It concerned all.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: They they like what they see in both guys. You know,
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: I thought forsythe was in the league, but Wattenberg lately
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: has been the guy getting the real rep.
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: Center's easiest on the line to replace, I mean, talent wise.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Let me you, two guys are football geeks. Okay, which
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: is good. That's that's not pejorative. That's a that's a
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: that's an admirable thing.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: Is it a big word? Day?
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: It is?
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: But but did you get that? Do you have like
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: a word of the day?
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: It came up on my phone for the record.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: In my family, they would never use the word football.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: They would just geek.
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: So I'm taking that as a huge comp I'm a
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: limited geekied.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: But but I need a game, man. I get to
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: the point where I need a game because.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: Dude, yeah, I don't even want to tell you what
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: we just stood next to me the first day a
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: board Already, you could be here all day.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: You could be here all day and all night watching
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: film too. You should be honestly, you should be in
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: that room with those guys.
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: Meanwhile, if you want breakdowns on the the shifts at
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: morning skate, you know, in the middle of December with
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: the ass, he's got about eight thousand things that I know.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: I got man Captain boredom. But there's been nothing to
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: watch since the Masters.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Basically kind of yeah, kind of.
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: I just wasn't because especially the Nuggets in the ALP
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: lance when they went out early when we were.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Well, dude, do you get excited about watching your clients play?
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, okay, so you do. So, I mean I
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: get tape, you get antsy? Do you get antsy getting
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: ready for their preseason and ramping up for the regular season.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: I don't get antsy. I get excited, but okay, I
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: mean it's something doing.
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: Then you know, we watch the tape, and then we
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: get the tape the next day, and we watched that,
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: and you're trying to look in Okay, where's he playing,
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: who's he playing?
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: How's he playing against the situation? Right? Is he the
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: fifth corner of the fourth corner? Does he have a chance?
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: You know what? You look at it right?
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: Also, before we let you go leggy earlier this week,
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: I was surprised by this. I know we had injuries
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: the last couple of years, but Stearns was a talented player.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: The safety room got a lot thinner without Kareem Jackson
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: and Justin Simmons this year. I know that they like
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: Jail Skinner and what he's brought to the table this
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: this offseason.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: He's big.
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: But do you think that they're bring in anybody else?
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: Or is that just we're so comfortable with guys like
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: Skinner that.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: Okay, he Sean Payton will bring in anybody at any time.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: He is not. Uh. He He tells them in meetings
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: often that look, it isn't just here. Don't don't look
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: around your room and think those are the only guys
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: you have to beat, He tells them as an agent.
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: As an agent perspective, you don't want a guy stern
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: getting cut this early. Something happened and that's not a
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: good sign to the rest.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Of the Were you were you surprised?
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: No? I was not. I mean you look at the rotations.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: Uh uh. I'm assuming he was not happy with the rotations, and.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: That's probably watcha gotcha.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: I don't think he got claimed, did he? I don't,
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: not that I know of. I just got the wire.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: I checked I checked earlier, and I didn't see anything.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: So basically this is a maybe he made his feelings known.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: They said, you know, I can't say that you don't
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: want to sit here.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: He put it, I know, for he's got he's got ability,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: and he's.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: Coming off an injury, so that he was already sort
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: of limited double double whammy in his participation. But uh no,
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: I mean this again, this is a quote unquote new
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: staff that isn't married to the players. It didn't bring in.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: So if you know, if you were here when they
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: got here, you're gonna have to show him why they
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: should keep you around. And they had. You know, I
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: tell people all the time, they can release all the
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: depth charts they want. They show you the depth chart
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: every day out here. If you if you just pay
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: attention and use your little pen and write things down
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: and remember what was happening, it's right here, you know.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: And he had been pushed back in the rotation.
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: So three oh three five O four nine two five
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: the Jeff Legwel at ESPN dot com Do you want
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: to do the double dip again today?
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: That's up to you, guys. Wait, wait, you said earlier
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: you're gonna let him go or not, so you control it.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: He has You're the.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: He's gonna stay, he's gonna stand at.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: The grip on this. He's not letting you, he's not
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: letting you go.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Get more questions for Leggy.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: No no, no, no no no, he said, like eight
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: no's I love that.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: I said to the boys rode in this morning, Jeff
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I said. If I was standing in his spot and
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I was asked that question, I can see myself word
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: for word saying exactly what he said.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: No no, no, no, no no.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Get back to this, No no, get back to this.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: In just a second, I would say, only one of
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: us was in a tizzy and it wasn't ours back.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: After this, you've got Mosuer Lombardi and Kane Li from
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: training camp and Broncos Park pretty well. On Altitude Sports
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Radio five, he put the.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: Rooklines all off the back and the charge.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: But before it came out.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: There was top out of a social media all that
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: you listened in number three, you.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Kind of noticed that the motion.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: Anything like that.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: I didn't care less.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Okay, so is that generally have the depth chart and
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: now you know you don't care how how you're listed.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: At this point, I guess I couldn't go.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: Bonix after a practice yesterday. As we're out here Broncos
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: Park powered by Common Spirit and a reminder one more
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: time to you guys. Following that thrilling penalty shootout win
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: on Monday night against Club Leon, the Rapids advanced the
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: round of thirty two in the League's Cup, and this
• 19:25

  Speaker 5: Park at seven point thirty. Don't miss out on the
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: action tickets on sale.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: Now you never spelled warres.
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: Oh, they got to figure that out themselves. And you
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: got a few more minutes. You want to pay the
• 19:39

  Speaker 1: Some smart Alex also texted in the first word starting
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: with a w yep and and don't do that if
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: you want the tickets. To get the tickets, hey, real
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: quick on the on that Bonick stuff here, Jeff, I
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: don't mind it at all, because again the two other
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: guys were seemingly.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: Happy tuning here.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I am. The other two guys were seemingly happy
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: go lucky. I mean Zach Wilson. You know, you could
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: run over his foot with a car and I think
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: he'd have a smile on his face. Right, But so
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: so Nix is there and.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: He's done this for three years before he got here.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: It's not but it was not a great day for
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: the offense again, blah blah blah. But I don't mind
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: that as one offs or whatever. I don't I want.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: I want rookies to earn the right to be snippy.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't I do I want them to, right,
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: I'm not bothered by I guess that.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not really bothered by it. If that was if
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: that was habitual, I guess I'd be bothered. I mean,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I I don't think it is.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: I will say I talked to him at the Senior
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: Bowl and he didn't like the question very much and
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: that was how he responded. Really, so, you know, some
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: guys are more intense than others. I think this is
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: like you would expect in any job. This is all
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: very new to him.
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: And you know, I don't played he played eight years
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: of college football.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: He did play about four hundred and five years. But
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: I just you know, you know, we all live here.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: People don't know what this is until they're in it,
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: and I see it over and over season after season. Coaches, players,
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: they don't understand what it's like here because in their
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: heads they often think, Okay, it's not New York, it's
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: not Dallas. I'll be good. And they get here and
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: they're like, holy crap, what is all this intensity about
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: the team? That's constant? And I think he's in that.
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: Right, But that's part of what our job is as
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: agents is to prepare players for different situations. Practice, go
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: through and and and not let them see a sweat.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Let's be honest, it's okay.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: I think it's okay that we see him sweat once
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: in a while, but you know that it's in the discourse.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: I think that it's okay. But I you know, he
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: probably got uh dinged a couple of times in practice
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: because they're riding him pretty good, and you know, maybe
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: it's wasn't a great day. None of us like to
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: be yelled at by our boss.
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: You know something else too, It's not like this is
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: New York or this isn't Toronto, and you're a Maple
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: Leaf reporter, you know what I mean?
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: Most like it's not, but.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: You're undervaluing it. The late Mike Heimerdinger, God love him, uh,
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: Dinger always said, and he had called plays for the Jets,
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: so it was like he didn't know, and he had
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: been on all Shanny staffs here. But Dinger said this
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: was worse than New York because here there's no place
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: to take a break from it.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess that's like, if you're.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: The New York Giants quarterback, you can go eat dinner
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: and soho, and there's ten thousand people don't give a
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: crap that you're the quarterback of the Giants.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty that's pretty interesting. How do you manage
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: how do you manage locations for your clients? I mean
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: where they go, you know, being in Carolina right now,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: it's probably pretty damn easy to hide when you're a
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: two and fifteen football team. Here. You can't hide as
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: a two and fifteen football team, well right, But that's.
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: All about preparing them, understanding their strengths and weaknesses, having
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: a relationship with the reporter, saying this guy, you could
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: trust this guy if he asked you a question.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: You got to be careful this guy or girl.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm trying to me watch out for this
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: guy over here, like Jeff.
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: But no, there's certain people that are that build a
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: relationship that they you know, they're not going to try that.
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: They're not trying to get you right. There's some reporters
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: that want to get the gotcha moment right, and you know,
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: so you prepare them for that, but you do say,
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: don't let them see you a sweat. I mean, most
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: of the times we have issues is because a guy
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: loses cool and you can't and if you're gonna lose
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: his cool and a reporter, what are they gonna do
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: on the field?
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: What is in your mind, Leggy, what's the goal that
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: Sean Payton has for Sunday. What's the one thing that
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: you think like he wants to earmark and say I
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: need to see this.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: I think he's from the you know, the old school perspective.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: He wants to see see it clean. Yeah, whatever it is,
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: if it's a basic running play, he wants to see
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: it look how it's supposed to look.
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: He also wants to see ninety go on and ninety
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: come off. Yeah up exactly. Nobody get an extra time
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: with the trainer on.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: The flight home, But see I also like that attitude
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: from Peyton that yeah, if you're if you're healthy enough,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: you were going to play football.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: He tears them again. But if you are healthy, you're
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: I've had that conversation with him. He has said, I
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: don't believe in just telling guys they're getting the preseason
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: opener off. Now that that third preseason game you may
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: not see a whole lot.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: That's that's totally fine.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: Like he would never he would never in a million
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: years do what the Bears did with Caleb Williams in
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: the Hall of Fame game. He would never tell the
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: guy immediately he's the starter, and he would ever tell
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: him you're getting the wave off out of the preseason opener.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: He just wouldn't do it. Whether you know right or
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: wrong or whatever you think of it.
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: But Jeff, the wave practices are now these games mean
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: more because that's really the only time you're seeing guys
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: playing tackle.
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: Football, especially at quarterback. I mean we I think that
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: is one thing I've noticed with bow Nicks is anytime
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: the the pressure level in the pass rush gets dialed up,
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: there's some discomfort there and he's not It's still not
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: dialed up to what Peter's saying what it would be
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: in a game you're not getting hit, Yeah, but it
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: mean when he his struggles really amped up when they
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: went with the pads. The first two days the pads
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: were on, and the and the rushers could at least
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: buzz the tower as it were, they could at least
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: go by him close. So von Miller used to tell guys,
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: I got you as he went by.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: But so you're saying, in his head, he has to
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: think that I would I would have gotten a hit.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I would hit right you gotta start. I would have
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: got smoked right.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: There, you know, and people cheer and clap and everything.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: But he was sacked two times before the completion.
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: I'd like to analogize playing quarterback to Lama's class. You
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: know they your wife's pregnant. You go to this class, Well,
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: this one is gonna feel like when you're pregnant. Well yeah, sure,
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: if you take a baseball bat hit, that's the only
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: way to truly replicate pregnancy. Yeah, the same thing with quarterback.
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: Guy could go back. He's playing seven to seven. He
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: got a red jersey on. It's not the same as been.
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: A guy named Deacon or Bubba comes and knocking in
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: the dirt.
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: I've always been curious about this too, especially like you
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: bring up the Hall of Fame game. So the NFL
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: used to have four preseason games where it'd be like, okay,
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: the stars.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: When I first start covering the league.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: Starters play a little bit in game one, then they
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: play a little bit more in game two, and then
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: it's like a dress rehearsal in week in game three,
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: and then they don't play in game four. But now
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: it's been cut down to three games, and it feels
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: like they're playing them less and less still, and I'm
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: just waiting, like when they moved to eighteen games and
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: they cut the preseason down to two, some.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: Coach the hell they're gonna handle that.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: Some coaches will.
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: Just defer well, but there are composition battles that are
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: gonna be one and lost on Sunday and then next Sunday.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: Oh for sure. I'm like, what's.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: Gonna vary by coaching stat There's many coaches who feel
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: the way Sean does, which is you have to play
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: football to be good at football.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: And he reads one of them. He's playing the homes.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: Really plays him, and I mean they don't play them
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: a lot, but they just want them to have the
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: mindset you don't get the night off.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: And it's funny because the day that estimate smoked that
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: safety right and the crowd goes woo, all that kind
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: of thing. And I came in the next day I
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: said to Brad, I said, can you imagine that people
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: jacked up because a football player hit another football player
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: practicing the game of football. And we're all like, oh
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: my god, I can't believe it. It was a couple
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: of years ago when Campbell first got there, and we're
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: watching Hard Knocks, right, and this is hackett, this is
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: hackets here, hackets ye start a hackets here, And the
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: first four minutes of Hard Knocks Episode one, these guys
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: are putting their dudes in the dirt, and I'm like,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: oh my god, I know it isn't because some of
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: you're shockingly different. Yeah, because out here nobody even breathed
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: on anybody. But I saw more tackling in the or
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: more hitting in the first four minutes of that first episode.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Then I saw all training camp for the Denver Broncos,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: And I don't know which philosophy is the best philosophy, Peter,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know what your players like. But I would
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: imagine some guys they want to get the feel of
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: bashing another guy's face.
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: You got to do it, because then you can't go
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: from zero to hunter on the first Sunday. I remember
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: last year when Joe Burrows pulled his calf muscle and
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: the Bengals like, oh, I'm my good now that he
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: got hurt.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: He can't get injured, right, yeah, oh good boy. That's
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, And that's the issue we would love to
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: you know, or there's a certain segment of folks that
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: just want him to crash into each other all the time.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: You'd make it season with like ten guys.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want that, but there's got to be
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: there's gotta be a ramp up.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: When I covered the Chuck Knowles last year Pittsburgh, they
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: did the Oklahoma drill on the first day of training camp,
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: which I can't even imagine.
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: And they used to do the goal line drill at
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: the end of each practice in Pittsburgh, I mean, and
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: they were live hitting. Mark Shotneimer his September record is
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: probably better than anybody in the league because they hit
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: and practice and the December was probably not good and
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: them to right, and they loose the Broncos every year. Whatever.
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you just couldn't live that way now. I mean,
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: I think he tries very hard to have as much
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: of a mix as like, he takes it right to
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: the edge and then he brings them back. And Mike
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: Mike was the same way when he was here. They
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: they would always have a live goal line period the
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: second week in camp and sometimes it would be twelve
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: plays long. Sometimes he'd see three plays and say that's enough,
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: but it's.
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: Well, the great coaches have that that that you gotta yeah,
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: the thermometer or whatever, the pulse and you know how
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: hard to play Hockey's the same way. I mean in
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: the exhibition games, how often you play the guys to
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: get him.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Just a couple usually the last exhibition game most everybody plays, right,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: you know. Again, you don't want to get the Week
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: one with having a couple of guys out of the lineup.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: And I dig that, But I mean football is a
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: violent games.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: Peters hard though. It's hard to go from shells regular
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: season week one, you know, especially a quarterback if you
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: were a you know, I think that's why in some
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: way bo Nicks may end up with more preseason snaps
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: than he would in another preseason because he's I think
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: I think they've seen what you know. I know, i'm
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: a little teamy the sports writer, but I can see
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: the discomfort when anytime they install anything new. Yesterday was
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: an install day for the pass rush, and the discomfort
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: was plainly evident. The discomfort was evident the first day
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: of pads. But so I think they got to get
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: that out of them in some way.
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: That was I remember maybe eight nine years ago, the
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: Broncos first game was in Miami, Sunday, one o'clock game,
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: and they went from no humidity eighty degree, melted and
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: those guys melted. I mean they were getting ivs at
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: halftime and they were done because they were not used
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: to playing seventy plays one o'clock Miami in September.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, ninety five, ninety five day.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: Well, here's the.
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: Other thing, Peter, you were talking about this yesterday. You said,
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: every year people talk about quarterback battles. How many true
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: battles are there and there's only a couple. You know,
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: Pittsburgh's got one right now with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: How much do you think.
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: These preseason games matter for bow Knicks and Jared Stiam
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: on who's going to be the starter week one? Do
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: you think there's a pretty good idea of who's starting,
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: but can it change?
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: He would like Bnicks to be the starter because the
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: developmental curve fits better. But yeah, I mean I think
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: you know, interceptions are gonna matter. You know, yeah, they're
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: going to Did you.
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: Make the argument the developmental curve would be better if
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: he doesn't have to start the first four games?
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: I would say that that. My personal opinion is very
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: few of them are ever ready right away.
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: But see what would happen though, is if he doesn't
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: start the first four games and they go one to three,
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: then Sean is screwed. Yeah, he's got to make sure
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: Stidham can get him.
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: Into it to I think part of the decision even
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: Shawn's not talking about is they've spent an awful lot
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: of this offseason trying to figure out how not to
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: start like last year. And he's even changed the structure
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: of some practices to that end. They changed some of
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: their ota stuff, but they've made changes because it was
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: on their mind. Two things Peyton reviewed the most in
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: the off season where there was their red zone, particularly
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: inside the ten where they were like thirtieth in the
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: league and their first month and a half of this.
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: Look at the schedule, it's a tour, and we have
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: to remember they're staying on the road between Tampa and
• 32:47
  Speaker 7: New York.
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: They're staying on the road.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: They knew they would. I told you, I knew they would.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: Because he did not want to go back and forth
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: for too early. In fact, they asked the league. They
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: asked the league give us back to back Eastern time
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: zone games whenever we play New York. What's what?
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: But what's what's? What's the percentage of teams going west
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: to East playing that early game, even if you're a
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: good team, what's the percentage that team loses? Is it
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: like seventy four percent?
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: Your quarterback, did you just make that number?
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: No, I swore, I swear to god, you.
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: Just made it. My wife Peters right, seventy three and
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: you were so definitive. That's the thing. You've done that
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: to me before.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: He sold it hard speaks confidently, you.
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: Say it loud with a clipboard. Well, you're the man.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: As he looks it up. Just to remind people, this
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: is the.
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: First seventy four I'm done.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: This is the.
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: This is the first four weeks of their schedule. It's
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: at Seattle, which on the opener is going to be
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: tough as hell.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: That and please tell me the last time they played
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: good there. I'll wait here, Brian Bosworth.
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: The second game is Pittsburgh at home, which is going
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: to be the Russell Wilson home coming in and.
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: Mike Tomlin falls out of bed and wins ten. That's
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: how it works. It doesn't matter what the roster is.
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: He hasn't thought about it. He's a great coach. It's
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: awesome coach. And I don't mean to cheap in it,
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: but he's never had a losing record.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Just come on, here's the spread. This is this is
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: the best I got.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: Pacific to those teams or they're not a Pacific coach.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: I know, I know a Mountain team.
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: How you lived here? You just made up the Mountain park.
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: It's Pacific.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Let me let me see this, then you take it
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: with what you will. Traveling to the Mountain time zone,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: they have a forty two point nine against the spread
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: win rates, traveling to the Central time zone a thirty
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: eight point one, and traveling to the Eastern time zone
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: a twenty nine point six percent against the spread win rate.
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: Let me ask you what was it when Manning was
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: the quarterback?
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: One hundred percent? Actually was probably about eighty four percent.
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, when Manning was thrown to DT what was the percent?
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Is pretty damn good, Pretty damn good the last two here.
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: But that's against the spread, not winning and losing. Right,
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: that's correct, because your money, I'll find it. Your money, guys,
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: roll knuckleheads to spring some stats.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: I will, I'll get it.
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: Week three is at Tampa, which is going to be
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: hot as hell in Tampa, by the way, divisional playoff
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: team last year made it.
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: And again what Peter's talking about September and Florida and
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: the last time they went there it was like the
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: end of the world. Thunderstorm came, the lightning delay. It
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: was pitch black in the middle of the day.
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: And then Week four is at the Jets when they're
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: still healthy Aaron Rodgers.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: They're staying out for that, like those those kinds of
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: trips either go great or they they don't.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: That four week stretch is total.
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: Can they be two and two then if I think,
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: if if they're fortunate, they're two and two, right, But
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: that's the question. Is so if you start Stittam and
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: you go one and three, it's different if boicks. You
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: know you're talking about it, and you know coaches always
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: talk about the big problem is Okay, if you start
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: Nicks right away and it doesn't go well, you can't
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: pull them out and put them back in. Now you've
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: set back the developmental clock even more. But Mike, just
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: the vibe and my gut here being around here is
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: that they really like him to start week one so
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: we earn they got au, they got us.
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: That's why these games. What we should do is take
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: a break so he can figure out if the.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: Leggy Thanks for the time, buddy.
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: Thanks fellows, You guys are great.
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: Jeff Legwell at ESPN dot com superagent Peter Schaffer with
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: this all day today.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: Back after that
