• 0:26
  Speaker 1: training camp today on the field for the first time.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Pretty fired up for it Man Golly year two under
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Kellen Moore, Lots of expectations, Tyler Schuck taking over a
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: year ago they were battling for the starting job. Now
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: we know he's entrenched as the starter, coming into this
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: camp healthy, Jordan Tyson ready to go, Kendre Miller ready
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to go and right out the shoot. Nick Underhill was
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the first to have it over at New Orleans Now
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Football Saints defensive tackle Brian Berziz suffered a knee injury
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: at camp today, will be undergoing further evaluation, per sources,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: noting that Brazil has fifth year option picked up for
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven injury is feared to be season ending,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: which is brutally bad luck for him. That's the tweet
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: from Underhill. And then a short time later, Ian Rappaport tweeted,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: citing sources he and Mike aerra Fullover at NFL Media
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: that Brian Berzi is feared to have suffered a torn
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: acl That of course would mean that the former first
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: round pick is done for the season one practice and
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Brazil done for the year. Okay, let's dive into a
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: little bit of this and what it means and everything
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: they're in. It's interesting that just a day ago, on
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the eve of camp, we were talking about veterans that
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: are going to have to fight for their positions and
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: some of the position battles worth watching, and one of
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the ones I mentioned was Devon Gotshaw because Gotchaw season
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: ago had his lowest PFF grade of his career and
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: played the fewest snaps of his career in a full season.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: The COVID year, he was limited to nine game I
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: forgive I'm not looking at it right now, but he
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: played the fewest snaps of his career in the COVID
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: year but didn't play a full season. So we talked
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: about Gotchaw being a guy that with all of the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: talent and youth behind him, might have the fight first job.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: And we mentioned of course Brian Brazi, former first round pick,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: if Vernon Broughton, who they drafted a year ago out
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: of Texas, Christian Miller who they drafted in the second
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: round this year out of Georgia, Nathan Sheppard. You look
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: at the depth there at defensive tackle and just like that,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: brazil season is over. If we look at Brazil, there's
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: an interesting conversation about Brazil because he's a former first
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: round pick and the metrics show that he improved last year,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: but the statistics do not. What I mean is last
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: year Brazi had just two and a half sacks. As
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: a rookie, he had four and a half. In his
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: second year he had seven and a half. So you
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: think there's a blow up the launchpad guy from the interior.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: So he goes four and a half, seven and a half,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and then last year, in year three, he dropped down
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: to two and a half sacks. He had just thirty
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: seven tackles on the season. But if you look at PFF,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: and again we talk about PFF all the time, it
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: is a metric. It's not the metric. It's just something
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to consider as a rookie. His overall grade was a
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: forty five in twenty twenty four. This is the weird
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: juxtaposition of Brazil. So in twenty four and he has
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: seven and a half sacks, but his PFF grade was
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: a thirty six, which is terrible. But he had seven
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: and a half sacks, which is productive. Then last year,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: his PFF grade skyrockets to a fifty two point nine,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: which is not great, but it's twenty points higher than
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the year prior. But he had just two and a
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: half sacks. No matter how you slice it, this is
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: a guy who's given you roughly seven hundred snaps defensively
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: and as a starter, and as a guy who the
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Saints picked up his fifth year option for twenty twenty seven,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: so they see a lot of value in him and
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: what they're building. But now you're going to be without
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: him for this season. So now you look and say, okay,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: no Brian Berzie. What does that mean at that spot, Well,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: it certainly means that Devon Gotshawd. It's no longer really
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: in jeopardy of losing his position of losing his job.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: He's a tenth year pro out of LSU. We're all
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: pulling for We wanted to be great, but last year
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: was a rough year for got y'all. Now you need
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: him to be really available and productive for you. Yeah,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: we can look at you know, a lot of the
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: guys there. If Vernon Broughton ended up playing in just
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: one game and then was lost for the season. But remember,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Vernon Broughton is the big defensive lineman out of the
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: University of Texas, where he played for Bo Davis. Bo Davis,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: who left Texas went to LSU for one year. Now
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: in is his second year with the Saints, but Broughton
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: was at Texas under bo Davis. He's six', five three
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: hundred and eleven. Pounds he was a third round pick
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: but played just one game a season, ago then was
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: lost for the year due to. Injury But broughton's back
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: on the. Interior that's a third round pick that you
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: think should be an impact. Guy then you bring In
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Christian miller this, year second round pick out Of. Georgia
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: you're going to use a second round pick on a
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: guy you expect a second round pick to make the
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: team and be an immediate impact. Guy maybe not necessarily a,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: starter but a guy that's going to be an impact
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: player at that position where you're gonna rotate. Bodies, yeah
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you Expect miller to be. There and we talked about
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: a guy Like Xavian. Harris now he's starting the season
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: on THE nfl, list but that's a non football. Injury
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: but he's six foot, eight three hundred and thirty pounds
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: coming out Of old miss and but for some of
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the off field, stuff likely would have been a top
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: fifty draft, pick you, know maybe A day two, guy
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: but he had the off field, stuff goes. Undrafted The
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: saints pick, him and the hope is you keep him
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: on the straight and. Narrow maybe he could be a
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: really big time impact player for. You we'll see what
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: remains to be, seen but an opportunity. There Nathan Sheppard
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: returns played in sixteen games for you a year ago
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: at forty seven, tackles four. TFLs so you got, bodies
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: but you're losing a guy that you were really hoping
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: was going to take a big leap in his fourth
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: season after The saints picked up his fifth year. Option
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: the former first round, pick a guy who's been. Durable
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: brazil played in all seventeen games each of his first two.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Seasons last year played in fifteen, games miss. Two but
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: he's a guy that's been, available been, durable and again
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: like the, organization felt like he was a productive player
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: even if the statistics didn't show, it and they were
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: expecting a big year this, year but it's been shot
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: down before it even. Starts Brian brazi lost for the
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: season due to it what is reportedly a torn acl
