  Speaker 1: two five Pro Football.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: The insider I've covered while.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Jef Legwall his appearances are always must listen radio. We
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: learn a Lot, brought to you by the International Brotherhood
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: of Electrical Workers. Start with the job and with the career.

  Speaker 1: IVW Local sixty eight. It's Leggy, Yeah, Yeah, on Altitude
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety two five. Yes, it is Jeff Legwell.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Time here on a Monday after noon, joins us on
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the Ramos Law Hotline. Car accident. You need Ramos Law
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: medical doctor and attorney. Visit Ramoslaw dot com. Leggy, let's
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: start right here. The news that ESPN is uh right
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: now has on their bottom line in red. Justin Tucker
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: released by the Baltimore Ravens. Here's my question, Leggy, was
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Justin Tucker released because he was accused of misconduct by
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: sixteen massage therapists at eight different spas. Or was Justin
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Tucker released because he made seventy three percent of his
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: field goals last year?
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Probably all of the above in some fashion.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of people who've worked in the
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: league will tell you. You know, leniency is often paired with
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: performance on the field. So you know, I can't certainly
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: know what the case will bring or what the NFL
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: investigation will reveal. I do know the NFL is still investigating,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: and the Ravens had said publicly before that they were
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: not going to make a move on Justin Tucker as
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: far as the football team was concerned, until the NFL's
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: investigation was complete. So that either means the NFL has
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: given the Ravens the results of this investigation it's not
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: public yet, or the Ravens just decided to change their minds,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: or they have other information, uh, to make that decision.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: They you know again, they yeah, no.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: When the minute they drafted a kicker, I think eyebrows
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: went up, you know, or raised around the league wondering, Okay,
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: what's that?
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: What's that mean?
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: You know, I know, for you know, all involved, it's
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: probably a really difficult situation to deal with right now.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: But you know, again, I you know, until I think
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: the NFL announces, or they may not announce that, they
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: may just tell the team and Justin Tucker and in
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: the union what the results are. But I gotta believe
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: it will be announced at some point, But it is
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: that you know, he had, he had a Hall of
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Fame caliber career for a kicker. If he doesn't play
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: in another game, it's just, you know, all of these
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: off the field things that have come to light that were,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: you know, early in his football career, I think is
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: an intriguing, difficult story.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: For all involved, for a very prominent player.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: All right, Lakey, where are we at with the Broncos schedule?
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: It feels like we should have had a couple practices
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: or a camp. I know we've got the rookie camp
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: coming up this week? Is that right? What does the
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: schedule look.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Like right now?
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: The rookie mini camp scheduled to be Friday, Saturday, and
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Mother's Day, So we'll see what the schedule holds. Those
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: will be pretty if the past, if his history holds true,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: those will be pretty light on field orientation type workouts.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: They're not looking to get anybody too revved up in
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: all of this.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: And you know the.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Reason you haven't seen in comparison to some other teams
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: is Sean Payton. His one of his strength and conditioning
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: philosophies is that they stay in what they called Phase
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: one of this, which is strictly CONDI mostly predominantly conditioning
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: longer than a lot of other teams, probably two thirds
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: more than two thirds of the other teams, and they'll
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: just have two OTAs instead of three. So a lot
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: of years you would have seen a rookie mini camp
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: and then an OTA really quickly right after that. But
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: that's not how he doesn't. He stays in the conditioning
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: phase longer. So there being OTA the last week of
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: May and the first week of June, and then the
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: mandatory mini camp the second week of June.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Bills. As though the Broncos injury luck was better, certainly
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: last year they had fewer man games missed during the season.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: How much of that should be credited to Sean Payton
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and his strength and conditioning staff and a sports signed
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: staff and their approach.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Probably some.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's hard to ignore a very drastic improvement
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: in the numbers that you know, the Broncos were one
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: of the leaders in the league and missed games and
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: multiple seasons.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: You know before he got here, So some of that.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: But you know my experience and this has has shown
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: through the years, there there is a significant.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Element of luck involved.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure you can prevent an ACL from occurring
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: if a guy steps improperly or somebody falls on his knee.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: I mean they've they've not had those linemen caves in
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: on another player's leg injuries like as many times as
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: some previous Bronco teams have had. So I think it's
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: probably a little everything. You know, what they're doing is working.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of their philosophy of what they're
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: doing is based on getting as attendance as high as possible.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: I think he's tried to convey to them, we prefer
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: you'd work out here, and this is why. And I
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: think he uses the injury numbers as as an example
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: of why they should come and work out with the team,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: when when it is voluntary.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Deep down.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: A report linking well maybe not linking, but predicting that
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: the Broncos could be players for Nick Chubb, the former
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Cleveland running back whose last couple of years has just
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: been beset by injury. Would that makes sense to you
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: or do you just think that's you know, you always
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: warn this Leggy that Broncos are a popular team and
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: sometimes they're they're linked in articles because it helps get clicks.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: Do you think the Broncos would have any legit interest
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: in Nick Chubb.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Well, if I'm an agent, I'm always gonna mention the
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: team with the richest donors. So I think that's a
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: lot of what happens these days. Mike Shanahan used to
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: argue that the Broncos were always rumored to be interested
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: in everybody because they paid. So I think that some
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: of that. I mean, they will take a look at anybody.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: I mean I already have a difficult time dividing up
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: the carries, you know, as it stands right now, and
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: to add another player, uh, you know, of that caliber, experience.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm just not sure the fit. But yeah,
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: they'll look at everybody. I would caution that, you know,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: around the draft that the head coach said he didn't
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: think very much of the veteran running backs who were available.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Well, there you go, there it is.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: That's pretty that's pretty cut and draft.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're we're good to go on all of that.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Jeff Legwald everybody from ESPN, he's got a rookie mini
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: camp to go and cover this weekend. Hopefully no Jeff
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Hireman situations going down for the Broncos. Leggy would like
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: a nice boring rookie mini camp to go and cover.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: That's what he would appreciate. He just wants to watch
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: hoops leggy good stuff as always.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Man, Thanks, thanks be, We'll say it
