- 0:00[SPEAKER_01]: doing.
- 0:00[SPEAKER_01]: All right, John, good stuff.
- 0:01[SPEAKER_01]: Baltimore, looming then.
- 0:03[SPEAKER_01]: Um, what do you think is the most game in the Baltimore game from a player standpoint?
- 0:11[SPEAKER_01]: Last year was Dearest Cooper, the unlikely name who had the most to gain at, I think, at least, if I remember correctly.
- 0:17[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, I don't think that was the case, maybe.
- 0:20[SPEAKER_01]: You think you want to make the team if you didn't have good appreciation games last year?
- 0:23[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I don't think it was, I think it was the Cincinnati game.
- 0:27[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but I don't remember which game was first, which game was last.
- 0:31[SPEAKER_00]: No, like the first one doesn't matter as much as the last one.
- 0:35[SPEAKER_00]: Like the Eli Rex game in bold more.
- 0:38[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I remember when he had to pick.
- 0:39[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the pick sex.
- 0:40[SPEAKER_00]: That was, I think it was the Cincinnati game for Cooper.
- 0:44[SPEAKER_00]: I could be wrong, but that's what I remember.
- 0:47[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I try to forget pre-season games is quickly as possible when they end.
- 0:54[SPEAKER_00]: So I could be wrong.
- 1:00[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, as far as I'm trying to think of the Darryst Cooper of this year, and nobody's coming to my forefront, they don't have a lot of potential undrafted free agents that are
- 1:29[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, to me, it's more of a second-year thing.
- 1:35[SPEAKER_00]: This time around, it's like the Magnic Williams of the world's the Ty Robinson, the spake for Ty Robinson, Drew Candle, Willie Lampkin, it's more of a second-year thing than an undirective thing, because it really hasn't,
- 1:57[SPEAKER_00]: you know some of some of the guys were expecting like goose hasn't done much when when capina goose again and they called him goose.
- 2:07[SPEAKER_00]: You know we called him goose the auntie loss and is not probably the best undrafted guy right now is max pulley.
- 2:18[SPEAKER_00]: Safety.
- 2:19[SPEAKER_01]: Maxim is pulley.
- 2:20[SPEAKER_01]: There you go.
- 2:20[SPEAKER_01]: Rash between you've been waiting for some
- 2:26[SPEAKER_00]: Shaden Roberts who's, you know, an Alabama guy, so everybody got hyped up about that and take one right.
- 2:35[SPEAKER_00]: It was the playmaker.
- 2:36[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody was hyped up about him.
- 2:39[SPEAKER_00]: They've already been cut.
- 2:43[SPEAKER_00]: So the guys around now, goose is still here.
- 2:51[SPEAKER_00]: The Auntie Lawson is still here, but, you know, he's 13 reps, Rocco's still here.
- 2:57[SPEAKER_00]: He's getting a little bit better.
- 3:00[SPEAKER_00]: His long snapper.
- 3:02[SPEAKER_00]: Josh, we're, obviously.
- 3:04[SPEAKER_00]: And then, and then guys, they brought in later, like Zion, Wilson, David, play.
- 3:09[SPEAKER_00]: They just brought in Brandon Hayes.
- 3:11[SPEAKER_00]: They brought in twice because of the wide receiver injuries.
- 3:17[SPEAKER_00]: So there are no dairies, coopers this year.
- 3:20[SPEAKER_00]: I think your best max pulley is going to be on the practice squad, as long as he gets through waivers.
- 3:30[SPEAKER_00]: Goose will probably be on the practice squad.
- 3:32[SPEAKER_00]: But, uh,
- 3:34[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's more of a second year group.
- 3:37[SPEAKER_00]: The second year group last year's day three picks.
- 3:43[SPEAKER_00]: It's big for them.
- 3:44[SPEAKER_00]: And guys like Miles Anton and Cam Williams look like, you know, they're on the outside looking in right now.
- 3:53[SPEAKER_01]: Good stuff.
- 3:53[SPEAKER_01]: Our John, we'll see what those guys do.
- 3:55[SPEAKER_01]: A couple names at the chat said, let's see what you got, what you think of them for the weekend.
- 4:00[SPEAKER_01]: Bell, Lampkin, Michael Carter.
- 4:04[SPEAKER_01]: Ty Robinson and Magnific Williams, I think those are two good ones.
- 4:08[SPEAKER_01]: I think Magnific Williams could solidify.
- 4:10[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it doesn't feel like they have a ton of deaths, John, a corner.
- 4:15[SPEAKER_00]: No, you know what, but remember, they're top three corners are not playing, you know, so I mean, how deep do you want to go if they're pretty good?
- 4:24[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, sure.
- 4:25[SPEAKER_00]: Well, top to sorry, one is playing and recalling, but for counting,
- 4:33[SPEAKER_00]: Cooper, if you just go outside corner, so they're down, a queen on right now, they're down, a tree caster of fields is playing pretty well.
- 4:44[SPEAKER_00]: Cooper is inside, and oh, Jonathan Jones, this is a search and four, so, you know, the top three outside corners are Mitchell, woolen, Jones, and they're both, they're all out, except for woolen, Cooper's out.
- 5:02[SPEAKER_00]: So, by the way, he hasn't been as good recently.
- 5:06[SPEAKER_00]: Some of those Seattle deficiencies are starting to pop up with the pads on.
- 5:11[SPEAKER_00]: As opposed to the spring when he looked all world.
- 5:19[SPEAKER_00]: He's struggling a little bit right now.
- 5:23[SPEAKER_01]: Once you're ready to have him with some of those guys.
- 5:25[SPEAKER_01]: Good stuff there.
- 5:26[SPEAKER_01]: Appreciate everybody for being here tonight on a
- 5:30[SPEAKER_00]: Thursday edition games already Thursday and the job of a morning show tomorrow right so Friday regular they've a walk through and yeah yeah yeah I've been busy I got to get somebody to come on the show late stuff To be able to talk to current I believe Yeah, maybe we'll try to get you
- 5:50[SPEAKER_01]: Well, what's our, what's our schedule, is this two for it to look ahead to Monday, any idea.
- 5:56[SPEAKER_00]: No, let's put the put out the schedule after, you know, I get, let me look, I get a tentative schedule from back, but then that's a while ago, take me a while to get there.
- 6:10[SPEAKER_01]: Ted schedule could it could it could change like the wind is I don't want to stick a well this one's way back before before they actually put out the Before they actually put out the official schedule.
- 6:22[SPEAKER_00]: This was way back.
- 6:23[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, but I think they went past the rave in.
- 6:27[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so They are scheduled to practice on Monday, at least the original tentatively
- 6:37[SPEAKER_00]: And then they're going to Foxboro on Tuesday.
- 6:42[SPEAKER_00]: So there'll be in Foxboro Wednesday, Thursday, and then through the weekend because the game's on Saturday.
- 6:49[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll have mostly day shows next week, except potentially Monday.
- 7:05[SPEAKER_01]: So I think we'll see what that looks like with the training camp practice.
- 7:09[SPEAKER_01]: But I joined a couple other updates from tonight special team.
- 7:13[SPEAKER_01]: Something we've been keeping track of and now you kind of started the rock.
- 7:17[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder would everybody follow in a long on him.
- 7:20[SPEAKER_01]: What do you see in that special?
- 7:21[SPEAKER_00]: He's gotten a little bit better recently.
- 7:23[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe he's breathing some of the stuff.
- 7:26[SPEAKER_00]: They did a big punt period with Braden man practicing cough and corner.
- 7:34[SPEAKER_00]: Kicks and who did a great job, by the way, and I saw a couple snaps and they were, they were, they were much better, some maybe starting to calm down a little bit.
- 7:56[SPEAKER_00]: And we'll say, but you know, one mistake in a pre-season game and Rocco's probably gone.
- 8:03[SPEAKER_00]: So he's he's got to be He's got to be dot in the eyes and crossing the T's.
- 8:10[SPEAKER_00]: No mistakes whatsoever.
- 8:12[SPEAKER_00]: And how do you think we'll see a punter turn and kick return on Saturday.
- 8:15[SPEAKER_00]: Well, Britain's back.
- 8:16[SPEAKER_00]: He'll he'll he'll he'll be the top pump returner.
- 8:19[SPEAKER_00]: The the pump returners have been Britain
- 8:24[SPEAKER_00]: Elijah Moore and let Cooper take some reps, but he's not going to do it in a game.
- 8:32[SPEAKER_00]: And then deeper guys have been like Brandon Hayes and Quest Walkins Quest, before Brandon.
- 8:41[SPEAKER_00]: But Britain will do it to start and then they'll probably they'll probably take a long look at Elijah Moore to see because he admitted he's not that comfortable doing it.
- 8:54[SPEAKER_00]: um, you know, because they might want to find a roster spot for him.
- 8:58[SPEAKER_00]: So they might take a long look at Elijah Moore doing it.
- 9:03[SPEAKER_00]: And then kick up returns.
- 9:05[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're going to try it with will and tank or or Darrys Cooper.
- 9:12[SPEAKER_00]: They're trying to get Darrys Cooper for the same reason, probably try to find a roster spot for them.
- 9:18[SPEAKER_01]: Darrys Cooper's got to make the roster.
- 9:20[SPEAKER_01]: You think
- 9:24[SPEAKER_00]: Well, as Nick said today, it's, it's, he's got to finish, you know, it's a month away.
- 9:30[SPEAKER_00]: There's a long time.
- 9:32[SPEAKER_00]: That's basically what he said.
- 9:34[SPEAKER_00]: It's a long time.
- 9:35[SPEAKER_00]: Like you got to keep it going.
- 9:36[SPEAKER_01]: If he keeps it going, we have longer to go until the season than we've been in training camp.
- 9:40[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 9:41[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
- 9:42[SPEAKER_00]: If he keeps going the way he's going, yeah, he's making the team.
- 9:45[SPEAKER_00]: But a lot of things
- 9:48[SPEAKER_01]: Especially in now that you're going to see games and I actually like that from Nick don't worry the headlines keep your head down keep working Cooper Yeah, exactly But Cooper knows that yeah, I mean he knows Did you you talked to him today right?
- 10:03[SPEAKER_01]: What did what you make in?
- 10:04[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like he's got a pretty good pretty good demeanor pretty pretty good mindset Yeah, I mean he's he's he's a nice nice kid He's like a lot like a lot of
- 10:15[SPEAKER_00]: under-app to guys or lower-round picks.
- 10:19[SPEAKER_00]: They don't like to say a lot.
- 10:20[SPEAKER_00]: Like they're not gonna be controversial at all.
- 10:22[SPEAKER_00]: Like most of them are smart enough to realize.
- 10:25[SPEAKER_00]: So he doesn't give you much when he's like today was on the podium, he's really on the podium.
- 10:31[SPEAKER_00]: He'll give you a little bit more if you talk to him on the side.
- 10:36[SPEAKER_00]: That's just the nature being the undrafted pick.
- 10:40[SPEAKER_00]: You're not gonna, generally you're not gonna be crazy
- 10:48[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks.
