Mendoza Moments, Jeremiyah Love's Debut and Takeaways from All 6 Thursday Games

21:18He's three for three in the preseason, including a 58-yarder to end the first half on like a one-minute drill where they kind of miraculously got in position. Wow. kind of having some fun here talking Trey Smack. But honestly, that's a performance that just wins you a job. Like if they were really worried about him, even though they took him in the draft, it's like, okay, you go three for three in the actual game and you hit a 58 yarder, you've made the team.

21:44Nick Shook:Yeah. To the person who was in the chat, I think last week and was concerned about the Packers not bringing in more competition to push him. There you go. I think you can rest easily tonight. I think Trey Smack has earned it. Don't have a ton of other Packers. Takeaways, Baron Sorrell. played like a starter. He seems like the guy across from Lucas Van Ness in this game. And yeah, let's, I guess, get right to the Steelers. Drew Aller. The numbers are a little inflated because of that 74-yard slant where the defender fell. That's more a good run after the catch by, yeah, Caden Wetgen. But Drew Aller, who people are going to want to be excited about because he's a rookie.

22:29He finishes 10 for 13, 153 yards, a couple touchdowns, ran for a touchdown as well. Actually had a touchdown dropped. It would have been two passing touchdowns by the fullback. What's that dude's name? Nwakarowski or whatever. I don't know if he's making the team or not. He did get a touchdown in the end. They're kind of fullback tight end on the team. But Drew Aller looking pretty good. But so did Will Howard. The young kids looked okay.

23:01Nick Shook:Yeah, I wanted to make that point because Will Howard had a touchdown taken away from him by replay review and let a scoring drive that ends up, you know, finishing in a one-yard rushing score and looked all right. I want to also note, not noticing, but note that Will Howard took the field before Drew Aller and just keep an eye on this. Let's watch this rotation, the next two preseason games, see if Aller gets out there before Howard. That might tell you a little bit about how this backup situation is shaping up to look like this season. Also, I'm not going to apologize, but I am going to hand some due respect to Jeremy Bernard, who had a really nice handful of catches, and especially a catch in broken tackle and run down the sideline.

23:44Nick Shook:He looked a lot better than I thought he would. He actually really helped wake up this offense, which was just underwater for their first possession and a half. Mason Rudolph had like no time to throw. He was constantly buried by the Packers pass rush. And then a Jeremy Bernard catch and run kind of unlocks things and they're off to the race. Roman Wilson was out there. Not many starters were. I'm not sure his snap count, but he did play some. I saw him out there. Aaron Rodgers obviously didn't start. So the fact that Jeremy Bernard, who is reportedly behind Roman Wilson and struggle, not struggling, but not making as big an impact as you'd hope from a second round pick, gets, what, four catches in this game for 51 yards, a really nice run after the catch.

24:28It makes a big difference. And he made a great effort on a near miracle touchdown from Rudolph where Rudolph shook off a defender and would look like Steve McNair or something out there. It was actually Rudolph's only incompletion of the day, 10 for 11, 93 yards. He did take a couple sacks where he held on to the ball quite a bit. And I see the Rudolph homers in the Steelers media, like, let's calm down. about uh mason rudolph shout out to jonathan gannon the the packers defensive coordinator just throwing every blitz possible i don't know if you noticed that like they were getting very creative so you can tell me that oh they don't game plan that much for the preseason well they've got a blitz package and they they used it and the steelers struggled to deal with it including project jones uh their their former first round pick who gave up a sack on that they had a rushing

25:13Nick Shook:touchdown also wiped out by a hole on troy vitano lining up to the left side got his hands inside uh man he was blocking his sleep. You know, you kind of keep it inside the framework, and it was very obvious. The starters were out there other than Rodgers. Yeah, the starting offensive line was out there, and they were struggling early. And I think it's a good test for them because this is a solid offensive line. For the most part, the interior is solid. The tackle situation still has to kind of be sorted out. But I think it's good for them to get a test against a team that actually brings some blitzes.

25:39Nick Shook:That's the beauty of preseason. It's like, well, a lot of things are vanilla. It's also a great environment to just test things out. You're talking about Jonathan Gannon in his first year as D.C. of the Packers. He's got to get some reps with these guys and show them how he wants to coach this defense. He's got to work some things out, test some things. So you're getting tested on both sides in week one of the preseason, probably the stretch of time in which we'll see most, the CC, the starters most before they kind of go on ice in the next couple of weeks. And it's good to see at this point. And it's good film for you to correct.

26:09I also enjoyed watching Jordan Love in this game. He only played one drive. Marshawn Lloyd was with him at running back. No surprise there. You know, he's kind of a guy who like picks his spots and looks for the opening and takes his time. And that can be a tricky style. He's not dissimilar to Josh Jacobs, who is the starter there. So keep an eye on Marshawn Lloyd. Jordan Love ripped a nice ball for about 19 yards to Jayden Reed. But the drive ended when Jayden Reed's playing on the outside and you got to throw. And he threw like a like a one on one contested catch was a good ball. But Jayden Reed, you know, did doesn't make the play.

26:45and it does make you think like they don't have the biggest receivers outside. Those are kind of routes you want to see Christian Watson, maybe even Matthew Golden doing, but it was Jayden Reed. It didn't work. And my guy, Asante Samuel, with a couple of really nice plays, a pass defense on that play and locked up a different Packers defender to end another drive. So Asante Samuel playing well for the Steelers. You know the feeling.

27:11Nick Shook:You make a pick in your fantasy draft and the entire room groans. because they wanted that player. Or you grab a small school rookie off waivers and you start him right before he goes off in primetime. There's no better feeling than crushing your fantasy football league. I'm JJ Zacharisen, host of the Late Round Fantasy Football Podcast. Before your draft, our players to target and players to avoid episodes tell you exactly who to circle and who to cross off. We've got data-driven analysis, historical trends, and the strategies that separate winners from the rest. And your dominance doesn't stop with the draft.

27:46Nick Shook:All season long, we have our 15 transactions, 10 trends, sleepers, and the mailbag. Data-driven, quick-hitting episodes to help bring home that league trophy. Listen to the Late Round Fantasy Football Podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

28:06All right, it's time for the off-season ride-along presented by Toyota. Let's go to the Colts and the Patriots. I think the biggest story here was Anthony Richardson. Now six games going on at once. Chuck, you know, I'm assigning, I'm giving you a lot of responsibility on this Thursday night. I don't know if you were able to have eyes on each and every game. It's kind of impossible. So I don't know if you have any Anthony Richardson takes for me. I do. I do. Okay, good.

28:33Nick Shook:It's one of my lead notes. I actually, because of the way the games were staggered, we got two at the same time. Then Patriots Colts slides in a half hour later, and then another game two games sliding in a half hour later so at one point i got five on at once and that's when it gets a little much right but you the cool thing about preseason is you know some of the guys that you really want to watch are going to be done by certain points in games so you can kind of take your attention from those two games the next two games richardson and company show up right in between and i can't help but just continue to watch this game when they're on the field because for as much as you know adversity as he has endured and for as low as his stock is right now, I cannot help myself, but just watching him and thinking, God, somebody can make something out of this guy.

29:18Nick Shook:Cause when he's in the pocket and he lets it rip, you're like, Oh, that is not something that you get in an average quarterback. Now he was inaccurate at times. He under threw a ball that got tipped by a Patriots defender and still ended in the arms of intended tight end, uh, for completion. He threw a pass directly into the arms of a receiver and went through his hands and then was intercepted. So that's not his fault on that interception. there were highs there were lows but overall i watched him take off for a run and i'm just like the thought occurred to me and i said to myself i'm gonna make this point in the podcast if his value is so low that nobody's calling on him if i were the browns i would call and offer a seventh and see if it gets it done because i just can't help but look at the physical tools and think god if you just gave him time to cook just marinate just let him bake in the oven i I think Chris Ballard is so stubborn.

30:11He does not want to see him succeed with another team. Although I guess that's so awful. I guess sending him to the Browns would maybe change that. Look, Ian Rappaport reported he thought that Richardson could be cut or traded this month. And so maybe this was a bit of a showcase game. I don't know if a seventh would get it done, but there are plenty of teams where he would make sense. That's one of them. It's funny if the Rams hadn't drafted high Simpson, I'm like, man, I'd like to see him as like the second or third. and you could use him. He ran six times for 53 yards and a touchdown and a fumble.

30:45And you just can't fumble. That was a play where he could have slid. He could have avoided the fumble. Stephen Holder, who covers them for ESPN, said that's been a trademark in the training camp of him trying to do too much. And yet, he had a scramble and a design run, which he looked awesome on. Like they're just, there just aren't many guys. He, I mean, it, it's obvious, but he's, he's a top five rusher of any quarterback in the league. And, you know, it might be top, top three, top two, you know, like he could be incredible in that way. Had some nice throws, finishes 11 for 14 for 145 yards, but also, you know, made some iffy decisions.

31:35They would have had more points with him at quarterback if his running back, was it Seth McGowan, I believe, fumbled on the goal line, which was regrettable. If you're looking for good news as an Anthony Richardson fan and wanting him to be the backup, Riley Leonard came in with the third stringers and it's supposed to flip next week and immediately underthrew a bad pass that he probably shouldn't have thrown under pressure and threw a pick and didn't move the ball that well for the rest of his time. I think his completion percentage was around 50 % and they weren't moving the ball. So I don't know.

32:10Score this one for A-Rich. We're not done yet. Shook.

32:13Nick Shook:Also, we can't move off this game without talking about Tommy Cutlets because he looked pretty awesome. And I also understand why his team won the scrimmage. Like he, I don't know if it's just because he's operating Josh McDaniel's offense and it's against backups or whatever, but I was very impressed. He had a couple of long throws where I was like, wow, I can't believe he got that ball off accurately and completed it. He looked very comfortable and poised in the pocket like he knew what he was doing. There was no speeding up of the clock or anything like that. Andre Borgalis missed a couple of field goals, so it kind of cost them some points on some of these drives.

32:48Nick Shook:But overall, I was just like, you know what? I like the idea of Tommy DeVito, career backup, who is in the league for 10 years, cash and checks. You know what the Josh McDaniel system and Josh McDaniel specifically in New England is great at is taking. Like a late round ish talent, mid to late round talent and making them pretty good. You know what I mean? Like Matt Castle, Matt Castle. I mean, Jacoby back in the day, although Jacoby ended up being pretty good. But I mean, he did a great job with Mac Jones, which I would put at a higher level. I'm not saying Tommy DeVito could be at that, but they were pretty decisive being like, we like Tommy DeVito better than Josh Dobbs last year.

33:28There's a reason why they, you know, they re-signed Tommy DeVito to, you know, so they think he can be a good backup and good on him. Let's actually show his touchdown pass. It was to Kyle Williams, who is one of my favorite young receivers in the league coming into the draft and has been really quiet. But Kyle Williams had an incredible release, and there was some talk that the third round pick could get cut. But the Patriots reporters who have been there say, look, he's going to be a very specialized role player, but there aren't many guys on this team. It's basically him and A.J. Brown, and he's very different, that can easily win one-on-one coverage right away off the line of scrimmage and then just go, and he can go more than anyone.

34:11So I think there's going to be a role for him. nice footwork there and a nice throw by Tommy DeVito.

34:17Nick Shook:Preseason, the perfect time for Kyle Williams to dust a corner that may or may not make the team and boost his own stock. By the way, the receiver battle royale that's going to happen in New England, I took a little note here early on, the top three that were out there I know this changed over the course of the game as it does in preseason games. Efton Chisholm, Kayshawn Booty, Matt Collins. Matt Collins had a drop early in this game too. So just keep an eye as we try to sort all this out who's going to make this team. Yeah, I think they all will unless they could find a trade partner for Keishon Booty.

34:48And I think Kyle Williams will be wide receiver six. Although, does that leave room? Yeah, they might have to make a trade. Let's go to the Chargers and Texans. I got to admit, I don't have a lot from this game. It was a lot of Trey Lance. It was a lot of backups on both sides. Davis Mills actually played with the starting offensive line for the Texans and had a nice touchdown throw to Jared Wayne, The guy who has been on that team for a few years was involved in that tank Dell injury a couple years ago. They did draft that big blocking tight end Marlon Klein. He had a big play down the field.

35:24So I like that. There wasn't too much. I don't know if you have anything interesting from this game from either side of things. I believe that the Chargers walked away with this. The Chargers backups killing them.

35:36Nick Shook:Yeah, nothing really new necessarily. but Davis Mills just looks like the guy that we know he is. He's a plus backup. He looks like a guy who's gotten some time on the field and knows what he's doing. On the Chargers side, not a lot to talk about really. I think his running back was, I think his name's Amar Johnson. He had a couple of rushing touchdowns. DJ Uyunglele threw a touchdown pass, which is fun because that's a name that I thought we'd never hear again after his college career. I watched him in practice throw two interceptions on the exact same throw in the practice that I went to. And it was disappointing because supposedly he's had a pretty good camp.

36:15I don't get the sense that either backup quarterback is playing very well. And it's definitely Trey Lance is the backup right now. But as I mentioned a few shows ago, that's a logical J.J. McCarthy place. Heck, that's a logical Anthony Richardson place. I could see Jim Harbaugh wanting either one of those because I'm not sure.

36:35Nick Shook:Yeah, but when you pair, I'm thinking about best situation to actually get the most out of them. I don't know if I like that. For Richardson or for JJ? For Richardson. They're both backups at this point. They're both backups at this point. You got to just develop them. Richardson's 23 years old. Someday. Someday. I also heard a lot about Avery Smith was one of the two undrafted free agents on the Chargers in the backfield that are supposedly going to make the team. He made a couple really nice plays in this game. And he is aggressive. He did two seatbelt, I'm locking you up celebrations in the same drive.

37:12You don't see that often. Shout out to Avery Smith. Another DD. Yeah, I wanted to note that Aranda Gadsden and Kamani Bidow were out there. And that just kind of confirmed what I was saying. Those guys are third on the depth chart because the starters weren't really out there. Like Keandre Lambert Smith is out there. Like the backups are out there. So to me, like Gadsden and Vidal are definitely lower on the depth chart. You noticed a different DB too for the charges, right?

37:38Nick Shook:Well, God, I saw Lambert Smith almost make an incredible catch. Fell out of his hands the last second. Yeah, Genesis Smith is one of the stars of this camp, right? He made an incredible interception that didn't count because only got one foot in the end zone. I mean, I'm talking video game, one hand up in the air, grab it, snag it like it was nothing. His teammates nearby did one of like these, like grab the helmet, put the arms up in the air thinking, oh my God, you just picked him off, but the second foot didn't get down. I even just in that play, I was like, oh, I see why he's turning heads in camp.

38:06That's incredible athleticism. I want to go watch him. His reputation coming out of college was he just didn't tackle. Like it drove our buddy, Allie Connelly, crazy. Like the guy just didn't tackle. He was like, you can't draft him. He doesn't tackle. And you don't really see that as much at training camp. So maybe you don't see that weakness showing up. But. Yet. Matt Money Smith was saying like, this kid is a freak. Like he has been wowing people day after day. So an interesting guy to watch. That was the offseason ride along presented by Toyota. Because when people are the destination, your ride is important.

38:43Learn more at Toyota.com and find the vehicle that fits your people. Titans 49ers last preseason game that we'll mention. The 49ers started Curtis Rourke and then went to Adrian Martinez at quarterback. So not a lot of big takeaways there. but they did play Dijon Stribling a ton, and he delivered with seven catches and 63 yards in the first half. So Kyle Shanahan wanted to test drive his young wide receiver and kind of like Jeremiah Love with Arizona. It's like, do we need that much workload for Dijon Stribling, who might be your wide receiver too? But yeah, good to see him out there. And they did go up against the Titans starters.

39:26So he was out there mostly with backups, but the Titans played their starters early in this game.

39:31Nick Shook:you saw a little a decent amount of snaps for the stars tyj spears and tony pollard each got four carries cam warded 12 pass attempts completed five of them wandale robinson got four targets i mean these are guys that you're gonna these are names you're gonna hear in the regular season for the titans so um and it's again it's a new staff so you're gonna see this more from new staffs trying to get their team acclimated to what they want to do and you know get a little test run but i i do want a trivia question for you greg and i hate to put you on the spot but you know what i like to come out of nowhere sometimes if you i don't have anything to offer but can you name the two schools that both curtis rourke and adrian martinez went to in college pal was one of them no i don't know no oh miami miami no no what did adrian martinez play why do i not know that he finished his career at nebraska he began his career at kansas state but the one the reason i really asked this is curtis rourke because he was a mac guy he started his career where greg i don't know ohio university i should know and you know where he ended up he was the predecessor to last year's heisman trophy winner because he played football at indiana to close his college career took his took his on it shook his playing ea college took his grinding Mac tape.

40:49And he's loving his Ohio. Your team was like the worst team in college football just about last year. Two years ago. Two years ago. Kent State Golden Flashes, 0-12. Lost to an XCS school. On the comeback trail.

41:03Nick Shook:Yeah, we had a good year last year. We're on our way back up. We're getting better. So that was the preseason games. We're going to hit all the rest of the preseason games live on YouTube at 7 Eastern, 4 Pacific on Sunday and putting the podcast up quickly after that. That'll be me and Jordan Rodrigue on Sunday. Before we go, just going to hit some quick items of news. The Panthers signed Darren Waller. I was expecting this to happen earlier. Chuba Hubbard, by the way, is week to week. So Jonathan Brooks, he's got a chance to be your week one starter at running back if he can stay healthy for the Panthers.

41:41But I really like this signing. I don't want to get too crazy about Darren Waller in the year 2026, but they need something at tight end. Jordan was talking about needing more, and I thought Darren Waller had some real juice late last season. I think he would be a member of the Los Angeles Chargers right now with McDaniel because McDaniel liked using him, but they're so deep. It just did not make sense as a destination. So Darren Waller adding a little juice potentially to a group that could really use it.

42:09Nick Shook:yeah um last year there was a period about midway through the season especially after tyreek hill went down where darren waller was the focus of the dolphins passing attack he was the only guy scoring touchdowns for them for a little bit so he can obviously still do it uh even though he's walked away from football once already um i don't understand what's going on with like you said they needed something at tight end but like this goes back to the hall of fame game i'm seeing jatavian sanders out there getting like pretty significant reps early in this in that game and tommy tremble didn't play and I'm just thinking like what is Dave Canals's view of his entire tight end room Mitchell Evans had dealt with an injury earlier I think he's back down fine I actually this is a deep group in my opinion but I'm wondering like is Sanders on the bubble because if I'm a team that needs a tight end I'm taking a flyer on him for sure that's fair I I think what this says is yeah they're not happy with their kind of catch first tight ends which would be Sanders and certainly would be Tommy Tremble.

43:09So one or the other, that they feel like they needed another guy. Because that's a signing that you don't make in the offseason because you want it to work out a different way. It didn't work out that way. The Seahawks made a signing that was kind of foreshadowed on Hard Knocks. Got to wonder if the Hard Knocks producers had an idea that the Seahawks were signing Terry and Arnold. Because if you watch the show, not only did they feature the possible signing of Arnold in some behind-the-scenes conversations pretty prominently, but they literally ended the show with him walking off. It was the last thing that they showed.

43:41And now Terrion Arnold, who is facing some pretty serious accusations, felony, including a robbery, is a member of the Seattle Seahawks. He fits the mold physically, Shook, of the type of players that Mike McDonald and John Schneider want to go after in the secondary. I saw this positioned as a bit of a heat check for this team. Yeah, it is an interesting signing by Seattle.

44:10Nick Shook:That's a great description because this feels like one of those signings that what kind of team would make this signing in the past? The Chiefs. The Chiefs would make this signing. The Chiefs in the middle of their dynasty run. Yeah, they would just be like, screw it. Bring him on board. Football wise, dealt with injuries in Detroit. lack of consistency kind of stemming from that never lived up to the expectation that came with his draft status but I just have to think like is he even gonna play like is this one of those things like you said heat check words like well hey if it all works out then we got a former first round pick on our team and it's like do you need that right now but you are coming off of a Super Bowl so they've turned Josh Jobe into like a real deal player a guy yeah that Philadelphia didn't want.

44:54They do well with these kind of physical handsy corners. They tend to coach him up well. I don't know if Terry on Arnold will be available early in the season or at all in the season. His off field arrest, you know, consideration is significant. I did ask around. I think there is a belief that a suspension is a strong possibility or putting him on the commissioner's exempt list is a strong possibility. We'll see. But the Seattle Seahawks taking a chance on Terry on Arnold. Pukunakua is a player we mentioned could possibly be suspended by the league. Sean McVay says that he is expected back next week.

45:30They're calling his injury soreness, like lower body soreness. Miles Garrett also missed his seventh practice of training camp with some knee swelling. So that those are injuries to watch there. But Puka will be back. They are going to start Stetson Bennett at quarterback, by the way, for Jordan Rodriguez first appearance as the color analyst of the Los Angeles Rams. How about that? Let's go. Let's go. I mean, I knew that. They knew that when we were there last week and you couldn't have just announced it a little earlier. So we could have enjoyed it with her on the show, but she's already, you know, on her way to the game, but we'll, we'll be watching and I'll be looking forward to that that's pretty awesome news with our friend jb long that's one heck of a torch passing by the

46:16Nick Shook:way from mina kimes to jordan rodrigue oh man a couple of all-stars right there to to the greats and uh yeah that's a great tradition and i've been going through like different players and their usage telling me just a little something i forgot to make the point that cam ward after delivering like a first drive touchdown where he made a couple nice throws they keep him out there for a handful of other drives that don't go as well they want him to get the work that to me that's like a little telling of what like Robert Sala wants to to see stuff and and I bring that all up you know right now to point out that the Rams traditionally never play their backup quarterbacks and I heard you know speculation that they weren't going to play Stetson Bennett in this preseason But I've also read and seen with my own eyes that after a quick start to camp, he has been struggling.

47:13And him playing in this game indicates to me it's like, you got to go earn that job, bro. And we know Jimmy Garoppolo's number. I don't know if he's left L.A. yet. Like, the answer to, like, who's their backup, Ty Simpson or Stetson Bennett, might be neither still. Well, OK.

47:32Nick Shook:But at that point, then you're thinking about a roster constraint. They cut Stetson Bennett. That's what I'm saying. But they've had this weird fascination with him or some sort of affinity for him. He goes to some other team or he goes to your practice squad. Yeah, I can't imagine a lot of teams would be picking up the phone to get him. Yeah, yeah, okay. Just throwing that out there. Jordan Tyson, the Saints rookie receiver who's been lighting up camp, left practice with a hamstring injury. He had a ton of hamstring problems throughout his college career and into the draft process. Might not be serious, but the fact that it's a hamstring injury is worth noting.

48:06Jadarian Price, I should have noted with the Seahawks, did return to practice, so that was great to see. The rookie running back who's missed a lot of training camp is back in practicing. I saw from Ian Rappaport, Rasheed Rice is not expected to be suspended by the NFL. He was suspended previously for his latest infraction, and that's kind of the thinking there. And then I forgot to mention in my joint practice rundown on our Power Ranking Show, one of the joint practices, and it was the most lopsided one. And they did two days. So I'm glad I waited to hear the second day of confirmation. The commanders wiped the floor with the Dolphins up and down the field.

48:42Jaden Daniels looking amazing. Stefan Diggs, every commander's reporter is like, Stefan Diggs has immediately made every other receiver on the roster except for Terry McLaurin look like amateurs. Like he's obviously the second best receiver on this roster by a good amount right away. And the Miami Dolphins did not look overly competitive in either of the practices, apparently.

49:03Nick Shook:File that under the least surprising things I've heard this week. Maybe this month. It's only August 13th. Not surprising. Unfortunately, I am a little surprised of the struggles Geno had back-to-back days against the Bucs, reportedly, the Jets' offense, the starting offense, not doing so well. So just dimming some of that buzz. Well, I mean, we talked about the fact that they were lighting up the Jets' defense, that it was a concerning sign for the Jets. It's true. It's true. That's the beauty of joint practices. You get a little bit of a measuring stick and realize, oh God, we're not as good as I thought we were.

49:37Pretty revenge, big revenge joint practice. The rare revenge joint practice by Todd Bowles against his former employer. Man, I gotta say, I love preseason football being back. You gotta embrace it for what it is. I'm sure when we do our week three preseason recap, we will be more than done with it. But this first week, now it's transitioned, is often the most interesting one. It's certainly like one and two, and then it really, really dies off this. So this was fun, Shook, and we'll be covering the rest of the preseason all month long on NFL Day.

50:12Nick Shook:Yeah, this might be a little bit of recency bias, but I felt like this first night of games had more meaning to it for a preseason than years past. Mendoza, Jeremiah Love in uniforms. Like, yeah, this is what we want. So as I mentioned, we will be back on Sunday. Thank you, Shook. You are getting a well-deserved and rare weekend off. Not from work, because NFL.com has you working, but from NFL Daily, at least. So let's hit that music. We will be back on Sunday evening, 7 p.m. Eastern, 4 p.m. Pacific on YouTube. There's a big slate of games Friday, Saturday. We will recap it all and all the news that's happening around the training camps.

50:52I got so many nuggets that don't even have to do with the preseason. We'll see you then.

51:02Nick Shook:The entire draft room groans because you just took the guy they wanted. There's no better feeling than crushing your fantasy football league.
