00:00I say, I don't give predictions right now. I say, they don't have a real football team yet.
00:03They say, what do you mean? They're practicing? I say, yeah, and 27 of them are going to be gone.
00:08So, when they make a practice and they begin to do something, and I see the whole team together,
00:13which is probably about week one or two, I could probably give you an assessment of what I think.
00:17I can't tell you a damn thing right now.
00:19Our mutual friend Ryan Keel said, you learn what a team is by Halloween.
00:24Yeah.
00:26The Raiders beat the Patriots week one last year.
00:28Here we go.
00:30The teams in the past, and they probably still do it, they rotate four weeks of film.
00:37And listen, teams share film with each other.
00:41And then you have to be smart enough to adjust what you've been doing and putting on that film.
00:45If the teams wait four weeks before they get a true assessment of something, why the hell would not?
00:51And why do everybody out here think they can come out here and watch one practice, one series,
00:56and don't have to have misinformation, and then they're going to dictate what's going to happen?
01:00Teams wait four weeks.
01:02Well, dude, the other part of it is, I was talking with a staffer earlier.
01:08It is August 19th, and we are probably three weeks into camp, right?
01:14Didn't we start late July?
01:16They don't play a game until September 13th.
01:19Yeah, yeah.
01:20It's coming quickly.
01:22Some of this isn't, like, anybody's fault.
01:24It's just the calendar.
01:25Labor Day is super late.
01:27Like, before they play week one this year, last year they were already one and one by the same date.
01:34They beat the Giants and lost to the Packers.
01:36They played two games before they'll play their first game this year.
01:39This is such a slog of time.
01:42It is.
01:43Like, it's just.
01:45But the thing is, like, for me, Jay, it's this.
01:49You were talking about Al Breer.
01:50Al Breer goes around a different training camp.
01:53He may be able to say, well, that team was better than this team.
01:57When you ask me, I haven't been to nobody else training camp.
02:01I've been to this one, and I saw Miami.
02:03I'm going to be able to see Detroit this weekend.
02:05I'll be able to see Baltimore in practice.
02:07I got to email the Baltimore people.
02:09So I'll see all of that.
02:11But for me to try to sit here and tell you what I know about other teams in a final
02:16way,
02:17I will be lying to you, misinforming you, not giving you the truth.
02:22But once I start seeing the teams, I can give you a true assessment.
02:25But there are a lot of people who believe they can tell you everything, and it's cool.
02:29Go for it.
02:30But I'm not, and I've said that since I got on radio.
02:33Don't ask me right now.
02:34I can't tell you.
02:36So a few different things.
02:37I played golf again yesterday.
02:39I played much better.
02:40You did?
02:41I shot a 90 yesterday.
02:42Oh, that pressure got to you when you played with me.
02:45I had a bunch of pars.
02:47I lost money.
02:48You know my boy Cisco?
02:50Yeah.
02:50He shot an 83 yesterday.
02:52Wow.
02:53When we were in Ohio, he shot 100.
02:55He was locked.
02:56What's his handicap?
02:57We played straight up.
02:59He's about the same as me, 15, 16, whatever he is.
03:01See, he know how to focus.
03:01He might be a 14 or something.
03:03He knows how to focus.
03:03You need to learn how to hang out with Cisco more often.
03:05Brian, I had a putt, 18 gold, which I was dry yesterday but put it long and then went wet.
03:13Cisco did that.
03:14He went long.
03:16I hit a good shot.
03:17I had like a 20-foot putt for birdie.
03:22Three jack to lose all the money.
03:23You got to do like I did on the putt I had.
03:25Remember I had about 25, 30.
03:27I hit.
03:28And I left it like that.
03:29Yeah, I left it 12 feet.
03:31You had the same one from the, what was the flag, on the right?
03:34Back right, yeah.
03:36And you were putting uphill?
03:37Yeah.
03:38And you still hit it past it?
03:39Yeah.
03:39No, short.
03:41Wokefully short.
03:42Oh, man.
03:42It was awful.
03:43It was an awful way to finish.
03:45So I'm coming in.
03:46I'm annoyed.
03:48I'm annoyed by how my round ended.
03:50Because if I don't three jack, then I shot an 89.
03:53Yeah.
03:53If I just two putt, an 89 feels infinitely better than 90.
03:56It does.
03:57But I three jacked it.
03:58So I shot a 90.
03:59You could have shot a Santana Moss.
04:01Instead, you shot a men who.
04:03Yeah, exactly.
04:05So I'm annoyed.
04:07And then I'm annoyed again.
04:09Why?
04:10I want the injury list.
04:13I know they don't have to disclose it.
04:15I understand preseason NFL rules.
04:17I understand it.
04:18But I'm annoyed by it.
04:19Because there's a lot of people not practicing.
04:21Yeah.
04:22So, shout out to the great Nikki Javala.
04:25I asked her, do you have a list?
04:27Like, are you tracking all of this somewhere?
04:29And she, there's a reason she's the president of Pro Football Writers of America.
04:32She does.
04:33So I have this list.
04:35I'm still annoyed, but I have the list.
04:38Let's run through just the injured list, okay?
04:41Yeah.
04:43Marcus Mariota.
04:44Yeah.
04:45We're not going to see him for a while.
04:47Nope.
04:48Jeremy McNichols.
04:49Yeah.
04:49Haven't seen him for a while.
04:50We heard, what, two to six weeks?
04:52I mean, six weeks or so?
04:53Jerome Ford is on IR.
04:55Yeah.
04:56Why?
04:57I don't know.
04:57I hear nothing about why he is.
04:59Hamstring.
05:00Hamstring, okay.
05:01Normally, hamstring don't get you on IR.
05:02But when I see two young running backs that are nice, hey, let's utilize that.
05:06There's roster machinations at work.
05:08Yeah.
05:09River Cratecraft is on IR, and we have no idea what the situation is.
05:13Yeah.
05:13Yeah.
05:14River Cratecraft is just on IR.
05:16Now, my gut tells me it's a vet.
05:18They'd like to keep around, and we're going to figure, we'll see what happens.
05:20Yeah, because I watched him in the game.
05:21I didn't think he took no hits.
05:23River Cratecraft is on IR.
05:25John Bates has come back.
05:27Bates was dealing with a hamstring.
05:28I saw him today.
05:29He is now back.
05:30Laramie Tunsil, we know, was a tricep injury.
05:33That could be.
05:34Probably out for the year, but we don't know.
05:36They haven't moved him to IR yet.
05:39They will at some point.
05:40Yeah.
05:42Allegretti, back on the field.
05:43Missed two weeks with a calf injury.
05:45Allegretti was out there today, and then I did not see.
05:48They took that hydration break.
05:50Shout out to FIFA.
05:50I did not see him come back, but that doesn't mean he couldn't be back out there now.
05:56We're halfway home on this list.
05:58Tim Settle.
05:59Yeah.
05:59I haven't seen in pads in a week.
06:02He was working out on out of field.
06:04I haven't seen him in pads.
06:06Today's a big padded day.
06:07They've signed two new noses in the last week.
06:11Johnny Newton.
06:12We actually got sound on this.
06:14We'll get to Dan Quinn talking about Johnny Newton.
06:16Peck.
06:17Peck.
06:18Injured his peck.
06:19Dietrich Wise is on the pup list.
06:21He's trying to come back from an incredibly difficult injury.
06:24He's working out as well.
06:25And he looked.
06:26I didn't see much limping in him.
06:27A torn quad, though.
06:29Yeah.
06:30That's a tough injury.
06:31Watching him last year and watching him right there when I was somewhere working out, he
06:36looks basically like he did last year.
06:38You know, Deacon had that walk.
06:39Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:40He kind of had that Frankenstein kind of walk.
06:42And that's how he was doing his thing today.
06:45Odafa Owe dealing with a calf.
06:48Kalevod Chason dealing with a knee.
06:50Jordan McGee dealing with a shoulder.
06:52And then you have Trey Amos, ankle, calf, bone, whatever.
06:59It's significant.
07:00And you and I were standing there, and Craig Reynolds, who they just signed Monday, right?
07:06Yeah.
07:07I don't know.
07:07What day is today?
07:08Wednesday?
07:08Wednesday.
07:09Craig Reynolds was getting work with the ones because it appeared to me, and I'm not declaring
07:15anything, that Rashad White wasn't going.
07:19So, there's a lot of stuff happening, and that is what happens in NFL season.
07:25But, it's a lot.
07:26So, this is Dan Quinn.
07:28Jeff, I'm going to go to the cuts here.
07:30Dan Quinn provides a general injury update.
07:33Number one, Dan Quinn injury update.
07:38Let's start with Caleb On.
07:40So, he injured his knee in the joint practice.
07:43Not significant, but we are being smart in that spot.
07:47Johnny Newton injured his peck during the game.
07:50He's currently in New York, seeing his specialist there.
07:53So, I'll give you an update tomorrow after, you know, their meeting.
07:57OA has a strained calf.
07:59Kind of the early phase of that.
08:01We're, again, just being smart there.
08:03Jordan McGee, I think, was the other one you asked about.
08:06Injured his shoulder in the game.
08:07We'll hold him out this week.
08:10But, nothing that's going to, like, linger into, you know, the season or any of that.
08:15To his credit, to Dan Quinn's credit, that was a real, that was a relatively real update.
08:21Yeah.
08:22We talked so much.
08:24And, honestly, against Miami, you saw it.
08:26This rebuilt defensive line.
08:28Yeah.
08:29That's now significant dude's missing time.
08:31Yeah.
08:32Chason, OA.
08:33Newton, we don't know what his role was going to be.
08:36Jeff, give me number 10 on Tim Settle.
08:38This is Dan Quinn providing an update on Tim Settle.
08:42Yes.
08:43So, sorry, I could have hit Tim on that.
08:46So, he's making good progress.
08:47Got big marker in that return to play today of, like, if he can hit all those.
08:51And we're hopeful, as he gets into next week, that we can start ramping him back up into practice.
08:56So, if he hits all the good spaces, you know, that would be a good thing for us.
09:01Sure.
09:02It would be a great thing for you, Coach.
09:03I don't know that that's happening.
09:05The injury stuff is starting to become significant.
09:08And one thing we saw last year that really hurt this team was the injury bug at certain positions that
09:17just wrecked the depth.
09:18Now, I like the depth.
09:20We've talked about Josh Josephs a lot.
09:22I think Javante Gene Baptiste is having a good camp.
09:24True.
09:25He was pissed off at somebody yesterday, but that's part of life, right?
09:28It's August.
09:28Guys get mad.
09:30But I like Josephs a lot as, like, a piece.
09:34Today, he's out there with the ones.
09:35And I'm not saying any of these injuries will impact week one or beyond, right?
09:41But, like, it's starting to stack up a little bit, I think.
09:46It's starting to – you have little injuries and stuff like that.
09:49Nothing is major at this point.
09:50And I think that's the ultimate thing.
09:52Just like we were talking about the content, guys.
09:55We want every little bit of information because that's how you do your job.
09:59But, ultimately, if nobody is completely missing or have to go on IR or go miss six weeks in that
10:08pup list,
10:09there's nothing in series at this point.
10:11Because the thing I have picked up about this group here that runs this team,
10:17they do a lot of letting people get work.
10:22They want people to have some level of experience.
10:25They're extra cautious about everything.
10:27So, I don't really get too worried about certain guys right now.
10:32Whenever I hear a calf strain, I'm suggesting take some time off.
10:38Calf strains have become indicative of Achilles as of late, looking at the basketball arena at one point.
10:45And now it's starting to move on to the football field.
10:48So, it's best at this time, if you're not going to play in the games anyway, don't let them get
10:54hurt in practice.
10:55You know what I'm saying?
10:56Yeah.
10:56800-636-1067.
10:59800-636-1067.
11:01Shout out to the great Nikki Javala.
11:03She provided me a list because I'm grumpy and I want a list.
11:08And if you look at all of the people on what is not a technical injured list, they don't have
11:14to provide that until week one.
11:15The first technical injury list we will get from the commanders, they play on the 13th.
11:20What is the Wednesday of that week then?
11:22The 7th?
11:248th?
11:24The Wednesday of that.
11:25They play on the 13th?
11:26Yeah.
11:26So, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9.
11:30September 9th is the first list we will get.
11:35But as we look ahead to Detroit, I still got to book a hotel.
11:40Detroit, noon.
11:41You got to book a hotel yet?
11:41No.
11:43Detroit, noon.
11:44I'm going to stay with you, B.
11:46Detroit, noon kickoff.
11:48You got to see them on the floor.
11:50Yeah.
11:50Noon kickoff in Detroit.
11:54It is Wednesday at 10, 19 a.m.
11:58You got this significant of a list.
12:01Just, more and more, I don't think anybody's going to play in Detroit.
12:03Not to say anybody, that's unfair.
12:05I think a lot of the starters will not play.
12:08And I'm good.
12:08Like, I can completely understand.
12:11And here's my question for the callers.
12:14Everybody wants to see Jaden.
12:16How much of that is just your own desire to see Jaden?
12:20Because I personally, Max, you think he would play two drives?
12:26Yeah.
12:27Let's say, I will try to max everything out.
12:31Let's say that's 15 snaps.
12:34A seven-play drive, an eight-play drive.
12:37Here's my question for the calls.
12:38Do you think there's significant enough value in 15 snaps at noon in Detroit on August 22nd
12:45to impact 4.30 kickoff Lincoln Financial Field on September 13th against the Philadelphia Eagles?
12:54800-636-1067.
12:56800-636-1067.
12:59Taking your calls when we return.
13:01It's P. Mitchell Finley.
13:02God bless you.
