• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Oh no, Ross, were you doing here?
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Well? You know, man, I'm just ready to talk about
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: joint practice from out here in California. Man, watch you.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Just jump on the one oh one yet here? Okay, Hey,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: did anybody get injured since you've been on the phone.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Not since I've been on Oh gosh, my ankle do
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I'm just kidding. No, no, let it since I've been.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: On the phone. So yesterday we were talking about Kamara.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Now I guess we didn't even talk about Quincy Riley,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: another one that's going to be out maybe to the
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: beginning of the season. So what does that mean?
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough one. Now. The Saints did end up
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: signing over the course of the offseason. Veteran corner Martin
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Emerson Junior, who himself is kind of flying under the
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: radar as a guy that's recovering from an achilles injury himself,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: which he injured during the training camp of twenty twenty five,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: but has been really impressive. Was really good over the
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: course of the preseason game as well. We'll see if
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: that Quincy Riley injury goes into the regular season, but
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: during the point right now, it's where they're just kind
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: of going through practices, preseason things like that, I would
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: certainly expect Martin Emerson Junior to be the guy that
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: jumps up into that role.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I'd like to congratulate you. You're the first person ever in
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the history of Louisiana sports Todd Net to write the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: phrase German suplexed in a piece. So that's really good.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: We're excited about that. And were the UH did the
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Saints and the UH and the Rams behave today?
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, no no issues at all, And that's not surprising,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: right Like this team, these two teams have practice against
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: one another pretty commonly over the course of the past
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: few years, and they're able to kind of keep things
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: UH civil got in some good work here and things
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: also had some good work against the Jaguars without much
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: issue as well. And so, uh, you know, with these
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: two teams, both the Saints and the Cowboys picking up
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: some fines here, I think it was a little bit
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: of a reality check probably on both sides.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Or maybe was it that everybody was terrified of Miles.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Garrett could be but Miles Garrett wasn't on the field,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: so why not. But that doesn't mean that he won't
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: run out. That doesn't mean that he won't run out. Uh,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: he's been he's been out of practice for a couple
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: of weeks or for probably a little bit over a
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: week now, dealing with an injury, and so it wasn't
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: super surprised to see him not involved today.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Is he really dealing with a ninja? Is just a
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: veteran that doesn't need training camp and they're like, just
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: go stand on the sideline and pretend like you're heard
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and be there week one.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I think it's a little bit of maybe somewhere in
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: the middle twhere it's like, oh, I have this very
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: minor injury and then the Rams go okay, great, that
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: sounds like a major injury to me. You should sit
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: out for the rest of Durant camp, and then they
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: just kind of left that alone.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Now, all right, let's run through a little bit of
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the notebook and it'll be posted over at Louisiana Sports
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: SunNet here in a bit as the Saints and Rams
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: are off the practice field. What were the highlights today?
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know, I spent most of my
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: time focused over on the offensive side. I will say
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: over on the defensive side. A lot of things went
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: the Rams way. I don't think that should be surprising anybody.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford and Davante Adams, although Dallas Beingham did end
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: up with an interception while he was defending DeVante Adams. Him,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Martin Emerson Junior as well as Isaac Adam all saw
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: some first team reps opposite kool Aid McKinstry at corner,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Dallas coming up with the interception there towards the end
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: of his practice. And then over on the offensive side
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: for New Orleans, pretty efficient day again for Tyler Shucks.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: He completed I counted fifteen of his twenty one passes.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: There was another incopletion that was nullified by passion affearance
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: defense defensive passion appearance and caught or connected rather with
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Bryce Lance for a pair of touchdowns as well, both
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: of which in the red zone. So he continue to
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: produce pretty well in the red zone here throughout training camp.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: But overall, some ups and downs for the Saints offense,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: no doubt, and I think that was to be expected
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: going up against this Rams defense. So good work for
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: those guys, but certainly some takee to learn from as
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: they come out.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Of this one. I noticed that you mentioned a Lave
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: and Kaden Ellis both had rest days, but Devine Gottschall
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: was back, which is I think impactful. I mean, anybody
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: can get back to this point. It's good for New Orleans.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: So what did Gotchaw do? How did he look? Maybe
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: fill us in there?
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was involved and he got in there. He
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: kind of went right back to his nose tackle position
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: and everything. Didn't see too many big runs from the Rams.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: We saw a lot of stuff that was kind of
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: blown dead within you know, five yards or so. So overall,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I'd say a pretty positive impact getting him back, and
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I Think's run defense has continued to look pretty stout
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: the thing, or I don't want to say stout, but
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: it has looked improved from what we saw last year
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: during training camp. And then you know they're still waiting
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: to get Kristin Miller back too, who was injured during
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the preseason game, and he looked really, really impressive during
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: the preseason game, created out as one of the highest
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: rookies across the first week of the preseason of ret
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Pro Football focus. So once they get him back and
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: have Devon gotscha where those two guys have been kind
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: of playing musical chairs here recently, I'll be very interested
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: to see what that defense ends up looking like from
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: our run foundering perspective on the defensive line.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: A couple more for Ross Jackson Louisiana Sports dot Net.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Of course, locked on Saints. You did mention Bryce Lance
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: had a couple of touchdowns. Maybe a thought here on
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: the receiving group and who's making the most of the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: opportunity now with some of the injuries there.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the natural progression still makes sense to
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: where it's Devon Veley step back into the role that
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: he was in last year as a compliment that Christo
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Lave while Jordan Tyson is out. But I do think
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: that the other rookies Bryce Lance as well as barry
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: On Brown have major opportunities here. And Bryce Lance is
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: the guy that as of late has been kind of
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: the talking point coming out of that. I mean, a
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: couple of nice catches here, touchdown catch, both of which
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: you know, running sort of out of different pieces, different
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: places in the alignment. You know, he's been somebody that
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I think we started. Yeah, he started four times today
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: in total, all from Tyler Shuck caught all four of
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: those passes, and my kind of yarded estimation put him
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: at over fifty yards receiving today too. So I mean
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: he's somebody that's been able to produce, and he's somebody
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: that has been able to both go from making kind
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: of the tough catches and doing the dirty work in
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: the short area to now kind of opening up as
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: a three level threat. And I think that's what you
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: want to see from him. And you know, he comes
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: from a very good program over there at North Dakota
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: State University, and so far that's been showing here throughout
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: training camp, especially over the course of the past week
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: or so.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: You also noted Caesar Ruiz, John Ridgeway, Dallas Beingham all
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: left practice. Are they all devastating injuries because that's just
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: what's happening to everybody right now.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think much devastation when it comes to Caesar Ruiz.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I think he's going to be okay. That's definitely it was.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: It was great to see Jeremiah Wright, the rookie out
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: of Auburn, stepped right into that right guard role and
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: perform pretty well. So I do want to highlight that.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: In terms of his performance. John Ridgeway, I think might
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: be a lengthy process, seem kind of walking off booted
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: up on his way out of the practice and so
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: but still walking under his own power. So maybe just precautionary.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: We never really know what those things and so we'll see,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: you know, we'll learn more here in a little bit.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: You know. The good news is that he wasn't going
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: to participate probably much during the joint practice, or won't
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: have to participate much during the preseason game. Rather, they
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: have a walk through tomorrow, they have a day off
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: on Sunday, and so he's got some days to rest
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: and then see when he might be able to get
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: back out on the football field. And alas Beenham's kind
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: of a question mark. I don't know if that one
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: was more heat related and minor or if it was,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: you know, something something that happened when he came down.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: He had the interception that I mentioned earlier against Devantie
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Adams and that was the last play. He ended up
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: leaving after that, So we'll see where things are. I mean,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: we watched Ronnie Bell, the roll Saints wide receiver, get
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: cartered off during the Cowboys practice and he was back
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: the very next day. That was more heat exhaustion than
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: anything else. So you know, we'll see what happens with
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Dallas here.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Before you go, what are they doing tomorrow?
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow's a walkthrough, nice and easy and no media access,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: so there won't be any updates coming from practice or
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: anything like that. But that's more of ale walkthrough for
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: their guys to kind of get into the rhythm of
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: things before their preseason game on Saturday at so Far
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: against the Rams.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: All right, make sure you follow him att Ross Jackson NOLA.
