2:13Welcome to NFL Daily, where we love a little messy fun. I'm Greg Rosenthal here in the TalkSport studios in London, talking back through a monitor to my friend Jordan Rodriguez, who's in the Chris Wessling podcast studio. We are going to have some messy fun today. We're going to talk about who we think is the most messy, fun team of the year. We're going to do some news. We're going to preview TNF and we're going to talk to one of our favorite players in the NFL. We're not going to. Jordan is going to. Calais Campbell is coming up on the show. How is everything on the home front, Jordan?
2:52Jourdan Rodrigue:You know, your chair was super high for whatever reason. I don't know. I'm sitting in it right now. I had to lower it a little bit. Otherwise, we're cooking over here, Greg. I am really excited and I like having a little extra pressure. It's why doing anything live is fun. You can't mess it up. Well, in this case, our listeners will know that Calais Campbell is arriving shortly. And so that means it's a challenge to the two of us, Jordan. We can't honk too much on this NFL Daily. We have to get to the Calais Campbell portion or else they'll just boot me out of the chair. They actually will revoke my work visa here in the UK.
3:32So why don't we do some news? But what we're going to do is we're going to put a timer on it, a mental timer. Eight minutes or less, we will do this news. And unfortunately, we got the news that Lamar Jackson is going to be out most likely this week, according to the Baltimore Sun. Now, we're taping this on Tuesday afternoon. As of this point, NFL Network and ESPN, I find it interesting, have not reported this. But it is a trustworthy local source. The Baltimore Sun believes that it's unlikely Lamar Jackson plays this week against the Texan, that his hamstring injury could be a two to three week injury.
4:13They have the Texans and the Rams before their bye week. We'll get quickly to all the other Ravens injuries. And there is a lot. But this Lamar Jackson one is different, Jordan. And it just makes you wonder where this Raven season is going. Yeah.
4:29Jourdan Rodrigue:And there were no updates earlier in the week either from John Harbaugh, which always to me is not only an ominous sign, but a sign that's the nature of the injury itself. Hamstrings are so fickle. And even when you do come back, you're still watching it, monitoring it, being the sensitive soft tissue injury that it is. I mean, I am concerned about this. And even when he comes back, I will remain concerned about this down the stretch for Lamar. I can see what you're doing. You feel that timer in your head. We should just do this every week. So look, I'm just joking. The rest of the Ravens situation is such a nightmare.
5:05So since we've, you know, last talked about all the injuries, you guys did a great job on the recap show, but we're focused on those, you know, somewhat disappointing Monday night games. We learned Nnamdi Matabuike is out for the rest of the season officially. When John Harbaugh was asked about his neck injury being career threatening, he said that Matabuike would have to address that. So that's really concerning for a great young player who signed a big long-term deal and is a huge part of that team. On top of that, we learned Roquan Smith and Marlon Humphrey, two of their best starting defensive players, are out at least multiple weeks.
5:40And Broderick Washington, who already was out of the lineup, is moving to short-term injured reserve. So I think the question is basically just, can they win a game before this bye week? You kind of look at this bye week. It's three weeks right now until after the bye. They're home for the Texans and the Rams. Can they win one of those games? because if they can't, with Cooper Rush potentially starting at quarterback and all these defensive players out, they would be one in five going into the bye and the whole structure of this season in the AFC North would just look different.
6:12Jourdan Rodrigue:Yeah, I think the statistical probability, even if you start one in four, it's something like 3.2 % of actually having a chance at making it to the postseason. Now, we've seen the Lamar Jackson Ravens pull off some miraculous things. That's why it all hinges to me on how fast can Lamar get back into the lineup. And do they look at the bye week? I know the reports are saying two to three weeks, and I am not going to question other people's reporting, professional journalists, journalists reporting, but something in my back of my mind is thinking, could it actually be longer simply because they're eyeing that bye week and thinking we're just going to try to roll with what we have and try to like fully load back up as best we can with as many of these guys as possible, including the quarterback after the bye week and hope that it's not a one and five start for them.
7:00We'll see what happens with this Steelers season but you look at the rest of the division, know Joe Burrow and you think, okay, maybe there is a path here to at least, you know, being better than the Bengals and the Browns certainly. Okay, you obviously talked about Tyreek Hill. We knew the injury was that serious with a dislocated knee at the time you guys were taping. So not much more to add there. There was a report this morning that it will be torn ligaments on top of the injury that he had a dislocated knee. So the future of his time in Miami obviously is up for grabs. His future in the NFL, unfortunately, because of an injury like that is up for grabs.
7:36Some injuries that we did get more specific updates on, on Tuesday, Joe Ault will be out multiple weeks for the Chargers with a high ankle sprain. That was the fear when he went down. And that's a situation, Jordan, where now Mekhi Becton might be returning, but they are without both their starting tackles. And the guys that were there last week didn't play that well, even the ones that were starters previously.
8:01Jourdan Rodrigue:And Mekhi Becton has been in the concussion protocol. And so rushing a guy back out of that, you're obviously not trying to do that. You don't want to do that. But the Chargers, I mean, this was scary right from the jump, which Rashaun Slater. And then it was like this optimism started to build with Joe Alt playing so well there at left tackle. You worry about this team. They can run the ball well. They looked like they could last week. Can they protect Justin Herbert adequately with him playing at an MVP clip so far this season? This is a big hinge point for the Chargers season so early in the year, in my opinion.
8:37Sometimes it's really important who you get when certain injuries hit. So they get the commanders who have been rushing the passer better this year until that Atlanta game. Then they have the Colts, which is a tough matchup. Then they have the Vikings. So that could be in the Joe Alt window. We'll see when he gets back. The Raiders lost their left tackle also to a high ankle sprain. And then Rapsheet reported that it's a fracture for Colton Miller on top of the high ankle sprain. So he is going to injured reserve. He was easily their best offensive lineman. So that's just more bad news for an offense that doesn't need it.
9:08And then we will wrap our news with our weekly check-in with Nick Sirianni, AJ Brown and the most unhappy 4-0 team in the NFL. Take it away, Nick. He wants to contribute into these wins. And he's had a couple games where he hasn't been able to, you know, and for different reasons of why we haven't in these games. So, but I question nothing about, you know, his desire to play great football, his desire of being a good teammate, his desire to be here. This has been bubbling since the end of last year, Jordan. AJ Brown sent out a tweet on Sunday night that said, if you're not welcomed, not listened to, quietly withdraw.
9:56Don't make a scene. Shrug your shoulders and be on your way, which I am reliably told is from the Bible. It's a scripture. Your thoughts on a team that's unhappy, even though they're four now.
10:09Jourdan Rodrigue:Don't make a scene posts on social media. You know, it's just so you knew this was going to happen. Like you see him not getting targeted. Then you see him getting sort of force fed targeted in the second half of that game and coming away with another low production day. I mean, this is one of the best players in football. And Zach Berman, my colleague at The Athletic, noticed this. He is so savvy. He's so media savvy. And he knows exactly what he is doing when he does all of these things. And yes, and Zach allowed this to you. yes, he should be getting the ball more. This is an Eagles offense that is somehow like putting up these crazy single half numbers, crazy in a bad way in some of these halves of football.
10:55Jourdan Rodrigue:And yet still the most dominant team that's playing right now. It's just, you know, it's starting early this year, Greg. That's all I'll say about that for now. And I wonder if he's speaking for Devante Smith a little bit too, just listening to Zach's coverage. I think both of them get frustrated with what's going on and everything worked last year. And to me, the thing that is really running this offense off the tracks is the running game and the offensive line. They're just not playing as well. And they can't run block right now. They're not 100 % playing. Johnson's not 100%. Landon Dickerson's not 100%.
11:29And because they can't run, it's affecting the passing game. It's a mess. We're not a mess. We did it in eight minutes. It's time for the segment. I can't believe it, Jordan. We are off to such a great start this season. And so are the Jaguars. So we were just texting like, what should we talk about on this show? And we were talking about, well, we could talk about like who are maybe the messiest teams, the teams that we really enjoy watching, like a fun, messy team. And we could have had candidates like the Cowboys are kind of fun. There are other teams we threw out. And we just like knew that the Jaguars were our pick.
12:06And we decided, you know, we're the hosts here. if we want to talk about why the Jaguars are the most messy, fun team of the year, and that we are really enjoying the ride and looking forward to the next few months of Jaguars, whatever happens, like we can do it. Tell me like the first reason why you are enjoying watching this team. Why are you finding them fascinating?
12:32Jourdan Rodrigue:I mean, it's the defense for me and it's interesting. I think they were slept on a little bit. I think we, you know, we mentioned them a couple of times as they could be sneaky good, especially down the stretch of the season. They are visibly and very statistically good. Immediately as the season started, they are first in takeaways in the NFL right now. They're also first in turnover differential and they're scoring off the turnovers for turn four takeaways last week and 17 points off of those takeaways. They've got dudes at every level. I love the way they rushed the passer, Josh Heinz Allen is playing unconscious football right now.
13:11Jourdan Rodrigue:Devin Lloyd is having an incredible season, two interceptions against the 49ers last week. And I love the way that their coverages work too. They're a zone team, but they're zoning in a really aggressive way where their eyes are super clean. They're very confident. They understand where they need to be and when to crash down and when to back off a little bit. I really love the way this team plays. They are aggressive. They are hitting. Go watch this tape. The 49ers came into that game beat to heck already and they were hitting. And this is, this is a well run operation on that side of the ball right now.
13:46Jourdan Rodrigue:And that's one of my favorite things about the Jaguars at this point. Okay. Yeah. We'll, we'll start on the defense. I, to me, it is the whole picture. Like the fact that Trevor Lawrence really isn't playing that much better. The fact that Liam Cohen has the press conference, we'll get to all that, but I agree. You did ask me for one thing, by the way, just, just to say, I know I'm, I'm just painting the picture and we'll go through all the things because there are so many things, but I, I think you're right to hit on that because that's what I think can continue. Now you talk about turnover differential like that.
14:17Obviously that's not going to continue. I get it. They already have four more turnovers forced this year than they had all of last year, which is just like a preposterous stat. But you mentioned a lot of the key players there. And what strikes me is that Devin Lloyd, Heinz Allen I'd throw Jordan Lewis in there their slot cornerback who's 30 but I still think qualifies here and Trayvon Walker are defensive players in their primes and they're playing their best and I do think there is something to watching defensive football that you know it when you see it and it's the number one thing that a new defensive coordinator can add sometimes you do see that they actually do the thing, Jordan, that they talk about in the press conference, that they are flying around to the football and hitting more.
15:06They are that team this year. And I can remember the first Lou Anarumo Bengals team. You could see it early in the year. And so I think you combine that with, like you said, players at every level playing their best. Those are really good players. I'd throw Tyson Campbell in the mix too. They're a bunch of players who are Pro Bowl caliber type players. So even if the turnovers fall off, Jordan, I do think that the level here of being like a top eight type of defense is here to stay.
15:36Jourdan Rodrigue:And I will use this to broaden out into the rest of how they're built for now with the short-term and long-term vision on what this is going to be. You know, Jordan Lewis was a player that they went after so hard in free agency after James Gladstone had spent a couple of tries in the front office with the Rams hearing Sean McVay talk about how bad he wanted Jordan Lewis to be a Ram. And they made a couple of, they made a couple of attempts over the years at Jordan Lewis. And the way that it's been described to me is that they felt like coming in and rebuilding this team with a combination of veteran free agents, some high dollar, but most who they eventually know they will be replacing with draft picks over time and patching those holes.
16:23Jourdan Rodrigue:And then a couple of guys who they can culture set. Jordan Lewis was comped to Andrew Whitworth when Sean McVay first came in to be the head coach of the Rams and needed a culture setter in his building and how they pursued Andrew Whitworth so heavily when he was trying to decide what his future looked like post Cincinnati. And they weren't sure they were going to get Jordan Lewis, but he came over and I assume he's happy. He did watching kind of what's going on in Dallas over the next couple of weeks and months after free agency. And he very much is that culture setting type of guy. You know, the last time the Jags defense was this impressive, they had another culture setting guy, Calais Campbell, ironically on the show today.
17:05Jourdan Rodrigue:And these are the types of players that were comped in terms of being able to set that culture for this new Jags regime. Comp to me about those guys are the same names that came up when talking about what Jordan Lewis is adding to this group behind the scenes. So also a great name with a great spelling. Yes. There aren't many Jordans with the O-R or O-U-R. I love, I love a little Jordan representation out there. So we said they're messy fun. And so the defense is just fun to watch. Yeah. Part of the things that are messy about them, and there are more than a few, they leave the league in penalty yardage in terms of, they have the most penalties in the league.
17:48They have the most penalty yardage. They have the worst penalty yardage differential. And then I was thinking about these players that are playing well, and I'd throw in some offensive ones like Anton Harrison, and even maybe a free agent pickup like Arik Armstead, who's helping out. And you know, who's enjoying this and it's a little messy to think about, you know, who's enjoying all these pickups, Trent Balky. It's Trent Balky's revenge. I mean, these are all of Trent Balky's like high picks are suddenly doing pretty well. Like he was enemy number one. So I think for Jaguars fans that put the clown nose on Balky, you at least have to remember, like, I mean, these were his picks out there doing pretty well.
18:27Jourdan Rodrigue:Yeah, I do think too that like you're seeing where they are really messy on offense is where I have less concern about them as this mess staying at the level that it is with the penalties. A lot of these penalties are coming off of the pre-snap motions and the shifts and those types of things. And that's a collective effort between the quarterback, A, and then B, the rest of the offensive linemen, just getting their timing right, understanding cadences, understanding, you know, how to tick back the mental clock once the quarterback says a certain word or once he stomps his foot, how fast that motion has to come across, how fast you have to get reset.
19:02Jourdan Rodrigue:This is all a part of what this offense is. And so I think that they do cut that down over time. What remains messy is them figuring out really how to get the best out of the receivers. I noticed Brian Thomas Jr. had more outbreaking routes this week. Still had plenty of inbreakers, but Trevor Lawrence did not target him on a single inbreaking route this week. All of his targets were on outbreaking routes, according to his next gen chart. And this is, you know, figuring out what to do with Travis Hunter. The fact that Hunter Long is their touchdown receiving leader, with respect to Hunter Long, you're not going to keep it that way, right?
19:40Jourdan Rodrigue:Like you've got to figure out your passing game. The most efficient hunter on the team is Hunter Long. And that's sort of what I mean when I get to Messi. And we joke about Hunter Long, former Ram. And I did check on PFF just like how they thought he was doing. And he's only played 50 snaps, but he is actually their highest rated offensive player. I'm like, how is that even possible? And it's because of games like Sunday. He was on the field for six routes. In those six routes, he made three outstanding catches, like a game-saving diving first down that set up a touchdown. the actual essentially game-winning touchdown and another key first down.
20:16So Hunter Long getting it done. While the two talented guys, Brian Thomas Jr. is going through it right now and Travis Hunter, they're figuring out. But he's part of it for me because I do feel like his defensive snaps, and there weren't many of them in week four, but the week before actually looked really good. He did make his best play on offense that he's had with a nice catch up the seam on Sunday. And so even if it's not working out perfectly right off the bat, he does add like a fun factor. We've never seen this before factor that I am just going to be ready to crow about when it does finally work.
20:56Because it will, Jordan. It absolutely will.
20:58Jourdan Rodrigue:I know you're so ready. You were down just a little bit a couple of weeks ago. You're a little sad, a little depressed. Maybe Travis Hunter was disappearing a little bit. Then you watch the isolated cut-ups, right, Greg, of all of his snaps in coverage, in that zoning coverage. Like I said, that zoning coverage that I think is really, really fundamentally sound. And he played awesome. I do not worry as much about Travis Hunter. I think they're messy, too, in the sense that, like, I think we went into the season, like, can Trevor Lawrence play better to lift up this group on offense? And now we're sort of like, can Trevor Lawrence play better and not make one potentially catastrophic decision per game to stay on the same positive track as the rest of this offense.
21:42Jourdan Rodrigue:That's kind of, it's interesting. I've felt a little bit of shift. I'm back to last year's wonderment of Trevor Lawrence when I was pushing, I said, I need to see more from him. And decisions like your fifth year guy, decisions like that late slide where he went out of bounds, the clock management. Again, some of these penalties are not all on the offensive line. and some of it is the quarterback orchestrating things as well. I just want to see him stay on this less messy track and get less messy with the rest of this group. He has always been a quarterback, and this is tricky to talk about, but he does not strike you as a quarterback that's winning from the neck up yet, like in terms of game management, in terms of seeing the whole field.
22:30He's a young quarterback, and you get better. I've seen Hall of Fame quarterbacks like Ben Roethlisberger, have it click like very late in his career and Lawrence he just makes boneheaded plays and the crazy thing is Liam Cohen is the quarterback whisperer he's the guru right I think if you just isolated Trevor's play and the numbers back it up the the advanced numbers for the most part and definitely just like the raw yards per attempt completion percentage all that sort of stuff he's actually playing a little worse this year, which, which seems crazy. And maybe everyone's just trying to figure out the offense.
23:07And that's, that's, that's why I think this team could go in any direction, but I think they have a higher ceiling Jordan because they're winning because of their running game. We should finish really with that. They're winning with their running game, but I actually think Trevor Lawrence to this point is having that part of the season where if they make a movie about how this all goes well, they're talking about how his head was swimming in the new Liam Cohen offense early. Like we're still in that swimming. He's drowning a little bit. He's not even playing well and they're winning these games.
23:41Jourdan Rodrigue:Yeah. And it starts up front. And I really like, you know, what we're seeing from ETN. We're seeing some pop from Basial Tootin, Tootin Hive stand up. And I feel like this is interesting because they're getting 3.21 yards before contact per carry last week against a banged up San Francisco 49ers defensive front, but a tough one still. And they've been blocking really well for Trevor Lawrence to no sacks last week. And they're first in sack rate in terms of protecting him on a per snap basis. So, and that's the entire season. So it's like schematically, it's all coming together, starting up front.
Read the full transcript
24:17Jourdan Rodrigue:And to your point, once the little pieces and the details and all the minutiae, the timing and all of these things catch up. They've already got this fundamentally sound run game that's really popping so far this season. And they're getting blocking for it, which I think is one of the most important things. The blueprint is there. It's literally about taking the next step forward within it. Yeah. They've had two of the most dominant pass blocking games of the year. Granted, it was against Carolina and against the Nick Bosa-less 49ers, but he was not touched, literally. Not a quarterback hit on Sunday, which is crazy.
24:52And they're playing well in the running game. I think this is where Liam Cohen's Jaguars really remind me the most of the Liam Cohen Bucs. The cohesive nature from day one is the secret sauce. Travis Etienne is becoming the guy. He's leading the NFL in yards per carry right now. He's hitting the big plays. He's more patient than he's been. and the blocking, they're greater than the sum of their parts. Right now in terms of DVOA, Jordan, they're 20th in terms of passing, but they are second right now in the NFL in terms of their running game. And I know you're just a football dork at heart and a cohesive running game like this.
25:32There is nothing more fun to watch. So wrap us up with a little just love for what they are doing on the ground and why I'm really excited to watch this team the rest of the year.
25:44Jourdan Rodrigue:Well, I think it's giving everybody confidence. And I want to call back, you know, James Gladstone was on our show in the spring and his main thing was making sure they're building up front and continuing some positive pieces that were already there and continuing to build through the run game. And he said, get in the way, stay in the way in terms of blocking up your assignments and all of those things. and I just think that you can see it in some of the mannerisms and even the extracurriculars after the game. This team is feeling itself a little bit. I think rightfully so, but it's this confidence that comes with, you know your foundation is solid and that comes from the run game.
26:22Jourdan Rodrigue:I know this is a little takey, but I don't know that Liam Cohen is out there talking smack to Robert Sala after the game if they got pushed around on the line of scrimmage all game, even if they won. It's winning at the line of scrimmage. Liam Cohen's a former quarterback with a sort of a receiver's mind, clearly. Like you have to, you really have to see this, this entire, the way they're winning up front on the, you know, on offense, but also on defense, I think is just giving them a lot of all over confidence and a little bit of vibe over there. Making them a little chesty. You're right. I didn't really think about the connections here because yes, the 49ers became who they were by being the biggest, toughest team.
27:01and they were pushed around by the Jaguars who were somewhat built by Trent Balky who had the same idea back when he was with the 49ers. And yes, now the Jaguars aren't perfect. I know they're messy. They're messy. They'll have some stretch, but man, I love watching ETN and toot and run. I love watching this team. And yeah, back when we had the, around the NFL podcast, we would have a team of the podcast every, I'm not saying the Jaguars are this team, but we just wanted to give them a little shine. Felt like they deserved a little extra. They don't get enough national spotlight. You know who does get a lot of national spotlight?

Quick TNF preview before we get to your interview with Calais Campbell, which I'm really looking forward to listening to. The Rams are catching the 49ers. Jordan, potentially at the right time. Obviously, Nick Bosa out for the season.
32:04Rams are favored by five and a half in this game. Brock Purdy, you know, missed the fake practices early in the week, but he did finish out that game. So I feel better about him than Ricky Pearsall, who we just might not know about going into the game. Same thing with Juwan Jennings. Pearsall has a PCL injury. Kyle Shanahan doesn't believe it's going to be long-term. Juwan Jennings didn't quite finish last week's game with a shoulder injury. Do you think the 49ers, in a world where they have these guys, let's say at least the receivers for the most part, have enough, even if they are healthy, to win this game in Los Angeles, where for most of Sean McVay's tenure, they've had a lot of success.
32:51Jourdan Rodrigue:Yeah, Demarcus Robinson revenge game a little bit here, right? Because Demarcus Robinson is back for the 49ers and he will be a factor. He'll have to be, right? I am still skeptical after, especially after watching some of the contours and the spaces and the voids that the Colts were able to find offensively. I am concerned still about their ability to defend a pass catching tight end. Tongass has been, you know, Brock Purdy's like kind of go to guy, especially in that red area with George Kittle banged up. And I do I do expect I mean, it's not reported, but I do expect Brock Purdy to play just because he did finish.
33:26Jourdan Rodrigue:He looked like he was in pain, but he did finish that game. And this is absolutely a huge game for the 49ers coming in to SoFi Stadium in mass numbers. And so I do think that this secondary for the Rams is what still remains my biggest question. And I don't know if the 49ers have the, you know, I don't know that they're going to out match them in terms of like body for body here. But in terms of scheming guys open, I still have very much my flag up, my guard, my guard rails up thinking about what the secondary is sort of culpable to with, you know, Kyle Shanahan and some of the ways that he can like sort of circle certain defensive players.
34:05Jourdan Rodrigue:and then just spam play calls right at those players. That's a concern still for me. Yeah, last year, even with a really down 49ers team and the second time around, it was a total mash unit. They played those games to where it was a final possession game. The Rams won both of them, but they were both close. Obviously, you really need Pearsall and or Jennings out there to help with the offense. I'm a little concerned, though, about their running game. This 49ers team doesn't make sense to me if Christian McCaffrey is dead last in the NFL and complete in a rush yards over expected. Huge negative.
34:44The offensive line actually passed protected pretty well last week against Jacksonville, I thought. But the run blocking hasn't been great. And they're not that injured in terms of their offensive line. They're just not playing that well. And McCaffrey's not as explosive. He leads the NFL in touches. I think about some of those old 49ers teams, Jordan. And I think like, man, they could use a Raheem Mostert. You know what I mean? They could just use a little bit of more juice in terms of their running game.
35:09Jourdan Rodrigue:Yeah, and they went out and they got Brian Robinson, right? To try to see if maybe they could spell Christian McCaffrey a little bit. You're not seeing a lot of that happening so far. And this is especially like we mentioned earlier in the show about how the Jaguars defense was hitting. I mean, John Jennings, part of it. Yeah, it's a shoulder or whatever it is. But also he was crunched between two defenders, took a kidney shot that set him on his back, flat on his back for a little while during that game on the sideline as trainers were working on him a little bit. Like these, this is a banged up team that is really, really loading up the workload early on for Christian McCaffrey, a player who we know his injury history and coming into this game on a short week.
35:52Jourdan Rodrigue:And yes, the Rams have been banged up to their interior offensive line. is still a little shaky. Justin Diedich played well at left guard. But if you're looking at the Rams defense, which is pretty healthy overall in their run game, I can't imagine you're not trying to use at least a little bit of a changeup if you're Kyle Shanahan to try to get some power going a little bit and get Christian McCaffrey working in the passing game. Yeah, I totally agree with that. And I know Robinson's not like a big play guy either, but if nothing else, you know, use him on the goal line, use him to just take some load off of Christian McCaffrey.
36:28I really love the way Matthew Stafford played last week. In general, the way he's adjusted to this offensive line, giving up a lot of quick pressure. He has the lowest time to throw when he's under pressure of any quarterback in the league. So he is making quick decisions. He has the lowest pressure to sack ratio of his entire career. But I don't think he's bailing. As you watch on YouTube, you see some of the dimes he had last week. Like, I don't think he's bailing out of plays early. He's just playing at a high level and playing smart. And Puka Nakua right now, Jordan, is literally on pace for like 170 catches or so.
37:06Like, remember, we were like 1-1-A. Well, not so much. Devontae has 17 catches. And I think Devontae's presence is actually opening things up a little bit for Puka versus the other way around. Puka is just absolutely in his prime right now.
37:19Jourdan Rodrigue:It's so funny to me. I mean, he's like pretty unguardable right now, right? And he's doing everything and he's sort of getting him into that 11 and a half personnel because he's playing tight end sometimes within the blocking structure on run plays and he's doing all these things. And you're right. It is interesting. It's like, at what point are... And I think he's got plenty of respect around the league, but it's like they're still almost leveraging things toward Devontae Adams. And it's like Puka is destroying these defenses. Nobody has had a solid coverage plan for him yet and he's making every throw or making every catch.
37:54Jourdan Rodrigue:I'm watching those Matthew Stafford throws and our friend Nate Tice always does a Monday Matthew Stafford cut-ups every week. And like, I will never quit him. I won't. I won't do it. Rams, our listeners can get as mad at me as they want for talking too much about Matthew Stafford, but I will never quit him because he makes the sickest throws you will ever see. And I am never out with that guy. Never out. Well, I tell you what, He is, I'm going to, while I'm over here, I'm buying him a one-way ticket to quarterback island, barring an injury, you know, cross your fingers. He is playing like a top five quarterback right now.
38:31And it's the biggest reason why I like the Rams in this game. I don't necessarily like five and a half, but I don't have to worry about that, at least for this purpose. Look, they don't have a pass rush right now. The 49ers without Nick Bosa have Bryce Huff, and that's about it. Michael Williams is a good player. He's not like a pure pass rusher. So Stafford ultimately against a quarterback, Brock Purdy, who looked like he was injured last week, did not play particularly well, was pretty inaccurate. It's just too much of a mismatch in a game that I think the Rams are going to score. I don't know if the 49ers can keep up.
39:05I will take the Rams.
39:07Jourdan Rodrigue:If anything is going to swing this game, in my opinion, toward the 49ers, it's going to be plays that are made by these linebackers, Fred Warner and Dee Winters, who are all over the field. and because they cannot rush the passer, I do expect Dee Winters, the way Robert Sala we've seen earlier in the season, using him in the blitz, creating pressure, simulating like he's going to pressure and then dropping and really covering well as well, flying all over the field. I think that if this is going to swing, that's going to be where it does. But I just think the Rams, A, are healthier and B, body for body, pound for pound at almost every position on the roster are just as nearly a complete team as it gets in the NFL right now.
39:45Jourdan Rodrigue:I'm picking the Rams. This is what Kyle Shanahan likes. Everyone doubting him going into a big game against the Rams. Ominous respect to Kyle. Ominous respect. Don't make eye contact. If you thought he was in a bad mood after losing to Liam Cohen, who knows who Robert Sal is going to tell that he's going to kill after this game. Okay, let's get to someone who would never say something like that on the football field. It's a Walter Payton Man of the Year Award winner. And yes, I'm throwing it to you, Jordan. Have a great time talking to Calais Campbell. I will see you guys on our preview show on Wednesday.
40:24Jourdan Rodrigue:Okay, NFL Daily listeners. It is an unbelievable honor to welcome our next guest here today, Calais Campbell. Once again, an Arizona Cardinal. Thank you very much for coming back. 18th NFL season. Calais, I just have one major question for you that I've wondered for the last probably about 10 years, how the heck are you still doing this at such a high level, showing up all over the stat sheet, week over week over week, as still one of the best defensive players in the NFL in your 18th NFL? It breaks my brain. How are you doing this? Well, I will say I'm surprised myself. You know, I'm just grateful that I get to still go out there and perform at a high level.
41:09I love this game so much with all my heart. I'm really a fan that's lucky enough to play it. and so for me I just dedicate myself to it I put a lot of work in hard work does pay off but this is just God you know I'm very grateful that God's blessing with the ability to go out there and produce it produce at a high level and hopefully keep it going
41:29Jourdan Rodrigue:I know I never want to see you stop playing I know that's very selfish of me but I grew up in Phoenix and you know I actually interned for the radio station out there I know you're very familiar with Arizona sports out there Ron Wolfley and all the guys and I was an intern for them in 2015 and I was gathering sound in the locker room and I was squeezed right at the edge of the Calais Campbell post game scrum that always would surround you to hear you talk about everything that happened during the game and you will not remember this but I will never forget it and I was I was squeezed out of it by some of the cameras and you turned to me at the very end and you asked me if I got everything I needed and I was just a baby intern at the time.
42:10Jourdan Rodrigue:And for you to notice that and to take an extra second. I mean, you've always been such a presence, Calais, not just on the field, but in the locker room. And I see all of these shots. This Cardinals defense plays their butts off. They play so hard and you're a huge part of that. And I see these shots of you on the sideline, always giving these galvanizing speeches and keeping people's heads in the game. And I guess over the years, you've always done that, But how have you developed that? Where do you look to to find these motivational conversation starters to find the things that inspire you to then talk to others?
42:48Jourdan Rodrigue:And I see you post a lot on your Instagram as well. And I'm kind of wondering where your curiosity in that space comes from of motivating people and then letting it all out on game day. Yeah, I think a lot of my motivation, you know, I love the game of football. And I want to be really, really good at it. And the best thing about football is you need a team. You can't do it by yourself. And so you have to be able to inspire other people to go and be at the best version of themselves, be at elite level for you guys to win. And because that is a big part of it, you know, you have to learn about motivation, how to get people to, you know, sacrifice self and become part of a team.
43:26and that's just, it's a challenge. But over the years, you know, even when I was in high school, I've always had this mentality. In college, same thing. So over the years, I just kind of try different things, figure out what works. But one thing for sure is you have to over-communicate. You have to talk to guys. You have to tell them, remind them all the time, like, hey, this is the most important play of the game. This is the most important drive of the game. Where we are right now, there's nothing, nowhere else we'd rather be. Like, lock in, breathe, get your breath. you know, whatever you have to do to get ready for this next drive to be the most important one.
43:58Jourdan Rodrigue:Where do you go to, to find that for yourself? I know you're such a competitor and you have that drive intrinsically, but you know, keeping yourself like locked in the way that you have at such a high level for, you know, almost two decades now, like, do you, what are your books that you like to read? What do you listen to? Do you do breath work? How are things, what are things that keep you centered and ready to kind of let the monster out of the box a little bit when you have to? Yeah, you know, I have a great support team, you know, between like, you know, just some of my brothers and sisters and just like, you know, some of my best friends, you know, I'll bounce ideas of things I'm thinking, you know, off of my best friends, we talk all the time about like, just motivational tactics and the way of going about doing things.
44:42My wife does a good job of keeping me grounded and keeping my head, you know, look forward. But I also will like watch a lot of you know old Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant videos and um you know Ray Lewis speeches and stuff like that too so you know kind of just like always looking like okay who are the best leaders and what can I learn from them you know what can I use that's gonna allow for me to be a better leader and um but uh but a lot of it too though is just a natural instinct you know like sometimes it's just like staying present there on my feet are figuring out what my real goals are, right?
45:17What are my goals? And, you know, usually the goals are to win and perform at a high level on the football field as a team. Well, then what can I do? What's in my power to make that happen? You know, I feel like I can only maximize so much of my physical stuff. I just physically, I have to, you know, move slow and tread a little bit lightly during the week. But where I can get better at is studying, you know, trying to help other guys understand what their role is and how they can be more effective with it. So a lot of how I can be effective and impact the game comes to the mind and how I can help other guys.
45:55Jourdan Rodrigue:You know, it's interesting. I know it's a point of pride for you that you are known around the league and pursued every time you're a free agent because of what you bring to a culture in part. But the real people who know ball and watch you every year know that you still bring it and you still are playing at such a high level. I guess I know the culture thing is a point of pride for you, but what's the point of pride being like, okay, I'm not just a culture guy. Like I'm coming in, I'm going to earn my snaps and I'm going to make splash plays. I'm going to get my giant hand up there and bat your passes down every year.
46:27Jourdan Rodrigue:I'm going to rush the passer. I'm going to stop the run. What, what kind, like, is that sort of like a little edge that you still have? Like, Hey, I'm not just in here to motivate people. I'm here to play ball too. Oh yeah. You know, that's a big part of it too. Like even, even when, you know, I've been a free agent a bunch pretty much every year the last few years. And I've heard a lot of pitches and teams trying to get me to come there. And when they lead with me just being like a vocal leader, it kind of like rests me the wrong way a little bit because that's coming automatically. You know you don't get that.
46:56But you also got to see me as a baller still too because I can play football still at an elite level. And part of me, part of my motivation is proving it, right? Proving it because, I mean, everybody thinks you're going to fall off. Not everybody. But a lot of people think you're going to fall off. They think that when you get to be 39 years old, you can't do it at an elite level anymore. And most of the time, they're right. But part of my motivation is going out there and proving them all. And it's a daily process. Dalvin Thomason, he's a great teammate of mine, but he always challenged me pretty much every day.
47:26Like, I don't care what you did in the past. None of that matters no more. What you going to do right now? And I'm like, you're right. Because if I try to play football again, all my history and all my legacy, there'll be a time for that when I retire. but right now none of that matters all that matters right now is what I can do for this team today and so uh I have great teammates around me to keep me grounded keep me focused on the main thing but uh my I would like to be able to make impact you know I told myself I didn't want to just join any team I wanted to join the team I thought I could make an impact on and off the
47:56Jourdan Rodrigue:field yeah and off the field too Calais I want to talk about that because we see it all over the tape year after year. But you also, you're a Walter Payton man of the year. I mean, people don't forget like the impact. I know as a Phoenix native, like I will never forget the impact that you've made in the communities everywhere you've been. You always do such amazing work in the community. And right now you're working on the Calais Comes Home, Homecoming with a Heart campaign. Can you tell us a little bit more about the work that you're doing? Yeah. So it's kind of a two-part thing. First things first is the House of Refuge, who I've worked with for a long time.
48:39It seems like it's been over a decade. And they really help people going through homelessness, which I personally experienced when I was a kid. And usually it's single mothers with a few kids who were trying to get back on their feet. So we're donating weekly based off my stats. But really, the big thing is trying to bring awareness and just try to use a platform to create exposure for them. And then as well as I'm picking nine other charities, they get one home game and one away game where I'm trying to encourage fans to donate alongside me. But I'm donating based off of my stats. And so that's part of another reason why I want to perform well, because I want to be able to utilize some of the resources and bring it to some of these cool charities who are all Phoenix-based or doing some really good stuff.
49:28And I really want to just really shine some light on them and show the Phoenix community who they are and what they're all about.
49:35Jourdan Rodrigue:Calais, when you're helping to provide resources for people who are experiencing homelessness, I know that's a, like you said, it's a very personal thing for you and a part of your story. I guess, what can you share with the audience, with the listeners about common misconceptions emotions about, you know, what they see versus what you're actually experiencing when you are out there, you know, in, in the buildings, helping people in, you know, in the communities, helping people, um, and, and really what you want people to know about this work that you're doing. Yeah. So, um, a lot of times it's very similar to my family's story where you just follow hard times, right?
50:13You know, uh, I know sometimes you can get the narrative, yeah, like people were homeless, you know, for whatever reason, right? Most of the time it's just you feel hard times, right? Misfortune comes at the wrong time. You're not prepared for it and you have to just make do it. You're just trying to tread water and figure it out so you can get back into a good spot. And so for my family growing up, both of our parents lost a job at the same time. You know, we ended up getting evicted and everywhere to go. And, you know, we found a family homeless shelter similar to what House of Refuge does, where they keep families together.
50:46and we were there for like six months until my parents can get back on their feet. And then coming out of that, we moved to a one-bedroom home for another like six months or so and then we ended up moving to a five-bedroom house after that. And it was just like, we just needed somebody to help us for a short period of time before we can get back on our feet. And that's the same thing with a lot of these families that you're dealing with. A lot of them just need a little bit of help for a short period of time until they get back on their feet and then you get them to a place where they can be self-sufficient and then go out there and, you know, live a normal life again.
51:18And so, you know, it's just like, man, like, you know, I think a lot of times you try to encourage people to realize, like, you know, just a helping hand. You know, some people just need a helping hand. It's not a forever, you know, helping for the rest of your life. You just got to help them for a short period of time. And then, you know, most people can get back on their feet and do great things in this world.
51:34Jourdan Rodrigue:Well said. And it's been so impressive. You are like the living embodiment of a helping hand, not just in the community, but on the field as well. he's still going guys somehow some way at a high level Calais it was like a personal and also a really great honor to talk to you today thank you so much for taking the time everybody go check out Calais comes home homecoming with a heart campaign we'll make sure to share these links on social and within the episode description as well Calais good luck this week man we really appreciate it Thank you for your time.
