Well come along to the North American sports show on 5 Live My name is Joel and can't walk and together with Mr James Wickham we are going to continue our tour of the N.F.L. The National Football League because it is returning very very soon football is back and over the last few weeks we have been on a quest to take you from Kansas City to Pittsburgh from Baltimore to New England we have tried to cover every single team before the season starts now we're still going to have a few to go so we're going to carry on next week but tonight I'm going to bring you news of the San Francisco $49.00 is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the New Orleans Saints the Los Angeles charges the Denver Broncos and the Houston Texans OK So there's going to be more next week as well but those teams you're going to hear about this week if you've missed any of our previous You can go back and listen to them via the B.B.C. Sounds up just search for up all night we are on Friday mornings at 2 am on B.B.C. Radio 5 Live and then once our N.F.L. Previews are out of the way we will catch you up with all things that have been going on in the North American sports well because the N.H.L. Season is just around the corner the M L B season is hotting up now we are getting into the meat of the season and of course we are not too far away from the N.B.A. Restarting either so LOS to catch up on once we finish our previews but let's turn our attention to the N.F.L. Before we get started on our previews this week I wanted to bring you one story that has been developing of late and that is with the Oakland Raiders I cannot wait for the Oakland Raiders we're going to be previewing on next week's show and I cannot wait to talk about just well one individual Antonio Brown and that is what I'm going to tell you a little bit about tonight Adam Schefter who is from the he's the N.F.L. Insider for E.S.P.N. He has been tweeting this evening that there are those around the league who now. I believe the Raiders the Oakland Raiders could suspend I'm Tony Brown with the idea of trying to avoid the 30125000 of guaranteed money in his contract which obviously would end his time in Oakland What is interesting about that if you've missed this whole story Antonio Brown was signed was brought in by the Oakland Raiders from the Pittsburgh Steelers and I have a very good authority from Pittsburgh Steelers fans who I know they are very pleased to have seen the back of him after a troubled time in Pittsburgh he's now carried that on and has supposedly fallen out with the general manager Mike Mayock he said the team is planning to suspend that is what league sources have told E.S.P.N. And Antonio Brown posted the fine that are on social media that the Raiders G.M. Sent him and it led to an exchange which is now leading to further disciplinary action this is not going away any time soon Adam Schefter continues from E.S.P.N. And he says G.M. Mike Mayock has a strong opinionated personality as anyone who has watched him knows on the wide receiver Antonio Brown is his own man to create a combustible combination to say the least this story is going to develop as the week goes on and as the season progresses but there is some talk that Antonio Brown will not feature for the Oakland Raiders and this is of course after already an eventful offseason for the new wide receiver he missed part of pre-season with frostbite Yes that's right in Oakland in sunny West Coast of the states he had frostbite from an incident with a an ice chamber and of course he got into trouble with the N.F.L. Over his refusal to wear a legal helmet and not the one he wore last season I don't vent for some other Antonio Brown which I'm sure will continue to be right up until the beginning and possibly even into the N.F.L. Season more on that next week as we bring you our preview of the Oakland Raiders which. I'm sure will feature heavily But 1st James let's go across the back way to San Francisco and Tracy some covers the 49 ers for the fun sports network She's also the founder and C.E.O. As well so a busy woman thanks for joining us Tracy how the 49 is looking ahead to the 2900 season Well I think it should be an interesting season for the 40 niners I think they are looking good depending on the health of their players which of course is true for any football team up at the 4 years about some pretty bad luck with injuries over the last several years anybody who follows them in the N.F.L. Of course knows that the quarterback Jimmy grew up below the franchise Q.B. Last seen with injured in the 3rd game of the season so he will need to stay healthy there's been a lot of chatter because a couple weeks ago he made his 1st appearance in an N.F.L. Game in 11 months he played 3 series and it was kind of a disaster but he hadn't played 11 months it was 3 series in a preseason game he came back against the cancer he played the 1st half he looked much much better think there are still a few mechanical things but I think you know honestly just shaking off the rust I'm not concerned on that there's going to be a problem with Jimmy grew up a little I know that not all 49 are fans believe that but I really do not think there's going to be a big issue there. And the thing about that is that we saw that last week in Kansas City so the 4 hours of course need him to stay healthy a big story line in San Francisco as well is running back to your can and he has been rehabbing a torn A.C.L. Injury before last season but he's had a couple of setbacks he was back at practice Tuesday it did not go well so it remains to be seen if he will go on season ending I.R. Or Phil start the season on the $53.00 man roster and that potentially go on I are and can come back in 8 weeks so again a lot of it is going to be on the health for doubters defensive line is looking very special. Ford is back at practice they're hopeful Nick both who is their number one draft pick will be back for week one and I think that that line with the forest Buckner is just a very special group and I think it has the potential to be like some of these 40 niners defense as we stopped several years ago and then tomorrow for him Bowman Patrick Willis days but I think that the 40 niners are going to have a decent season I think they'll be fighting for a playoff spot on they may very well make the playoffs it's a very important year it's important for Kyle Shanahan or John Lynch for Jimmy Glock Rob Lowe and before training camp started the players talked a lot about you know the time is now they they've got to start winning games so let's talk a bit about college and What's he bringing to his from Johns. He's bringing in Honestly a genius often said mind I think he just he really is a genius with it off and I think he's a very good coach he was really has the respect of his players and his players are all and I don't think that's an easy thing to say for a team that's had to not very good years you know their 1st season not great of course they finish strong when Jimmy Gropple came in and finish those last few games but obviously not a great season last he's not a great season but what's been amazing about this team is there is never really been a feeling of despair in that locker room there really hasn't been a feeling of discretion cement I may have just made up the work disgruntlement I know you are you're all good don't worry there are there have not been a lot of disgruntled players everyone has been all in on Shanahan and his philosophy and the way he's going to this team and I think that is a huge thing and beyond that I do think he's a very good coach and this season is important because now this team has got some depth and that's something this team hasn't had in a while you know injuries happen on every N.F.L. Team but what happens to teams that are rebuilding are artists strong you have a guy now starting that really is the 3rd stringer and or 2nd stringer who was really never meant to be a starter Now this team has depth so players. Yes it will go down but it shouldn't be quite as catastrophic as it's been in the past assuming it's not you know a major major but it won't be as catastrophic because there's a little bit more depth on this team so I think it'll be an option for Kyle Shanahan to really show you know that he can coach in the N.F.L. And load that sureness loads of 49 as fans over here in the U.K. Because there was so successful drawing the eighty's when really American football 1st T.V. Shows was televised do you think they've got a lot to look forward to this season. I do I really do I think that this team I've been saying now for the last couple months and I've been talking to people all this team will be relevant in December I believe and not because the last 2 years they've been relevant December because they've been so played so poorly leading up to the summer that all the sudden they would get really good if they're going to be relevant December because they will be fighting for a playoff spot and I think they have to be I think for the future of this franchise and this regime they have to be rolled December so I do think there are things look forward to I think it will be Kuwait simply to have Jimmy Gropple play a full 16 game season and then hopefully beyond in the playoffs but I think there's going to be a lot of fun things I think Nick post is going to be fun to watch to force the force on his guys I mentioned before a fully healthy Richard Sherman you know last year his 1st year in the 40 niners he still is fighting that Achilles injury he is back and I think we're going to see a lot closer to the Richard Sherman that people got used to on the Seahawks so I do believe there are plenty of things to look forward to for this team from the San Francisco 49 ers in the N.F.C. West let's go to the N.F.C. South I'm 1st here about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Alex Oliver S.-A who is a contributing writer for Bucks nation I think they're in you know kind of the state that they've been in really the last decade you know they've obviously went through a bunch of coaches here over the last you know 89 years. Somebody Morris' to. The Luckiest to the quarter and now to me and so I mean it's been a cool too. Revolving door. With that being said there's no doubt that Bruce Arians coming along I mean he's he's not one of these coaches that sort of prove that. This is a guy who was very very successful with the Cardinals. He said great success with the younger quarterbacks like when Ben Roethlisberger was younger Andrew Luck So it's going to be I think another year maybe 2 before they can truly compete but you know just based on on Bruce areas I think he has a couple wins to this team they went 5 and 11 the last 2 seasons. So I don't see them going 5 in 11 and again I think they're more like a 79 team if you ask me down. But that could obviously change if you know any trades or anything are made but right now I see them as a 7 team even if you know I find all tempted by you may well nigh Bruce Ariens because he was featured very heavily in that documentary that followed the hours I Cardinals when he was that and he was he's well it's fair to say he's a very. He says what he thinks doesn't he as a Caggiano afraid of saying what he believes and. He doesn't hold anything back you've kind of kind of seen that throughout training camp when he talks to the media. You know he's not want to kind of coddle the players if he needs more how do you say he needs more edu ready or if he thinks that you know you can return from an injury right now he's going to say you know I I need you to get back on the field and he has said that so it's nice you know I think the Bucs. Talent has never really been an issue for this team the last especially I think the last 3 or 4 years they've always had a talented team whether it's been often 35 mostly out off at something they do have a lot of weapons and obviously Jameis Winston hasn't lived up to expectations but from the outside looking in a lot of people. Think Winston is and isn't a franchise quarterback but I would just I would caution against that because mostly throughout Winston's career he's had to put up you know 3035 points every game just to have a chance to win I mean if you if you go back and you probably look at every one of his games there's probably been 17 plus halftime deficits. More than a handful of times probably over 10 times in his 4 years playing and that's just not fair and you can expect a quarterback to put up 30 plus points every week so I think the biggest addition to this team in the offseason was probably. I think top goal struggled as the head coach for the Giants the Jets Excuse me but some coaches in this league are better suited as a as an officer defensive coordinator and I think those falls into that category I think is going to be a great addition to the scheme on the night all of the cool to back to all the stuff as I say you know I huge temp of a fan and you come across Tom but by. Watching them this season who all the stars to watch out for all not taking this year. Well I mean you have Mike Evans. You know he's he's as good as they come he's one of 3 receivers in N.F.L. History. To start in his 1st 5 years to get over a 1000 yards in his 1st 5 years he's a steady as they come they have O.J. Howard who's kind of been underutilized a little bit. In the last 2 years under Dirk cutter but I expect that the change of Adams and then I think the real breakout star that you're going to see this is this year is Chris Godwin. Someone to definitely keep an eye for eye out for he's a guy who I think is going to come to the barbecue receiver you know he's kind of been behind the last couple of years because they had Adam Humphries they had the Sean Jackson so Chris Dodd was really going to come into. Excuse me has talked extremely highly of Godwin. So I think I think he would have been is are are primed for for both of them to have very big years and I think honestly the winds might not come but I think by the end of the season you might be talking about Evans as Evans and Godwin as one of if not the best wide receiver due out of the N.F.L. How with the Bucs set off the field so often in the N.F.L. All season and we know it's a last season but often not all season is plagued by stories that happen off the field off the football field how on the box set. You know that there hasn't been there hasn't been any any guys getting in major trouble the biggest thing from the off season was Jason Pierre Paul. Pass rusher unfortunately got into a car accident and fractured vertebrae. And that was back in I think that was back in May. It's been 4 months and actually today just about an hour ago he was cleared. To resume his is rehab activities so that's a step in the right direction but overall this team is very mature and they've had one player I think that's suspended for P.B.S. And that's quarterback Ryan Smith you're stuck with that player anyway he wasn't going to start but overall the team has been has been pretty good pretty good off the field. To report on Finally Alex it's the toughest question that we've asked everybody who's come on the show I'm previewed one of that seems and. The chances that we are going to see the Boks lifting the seat the ball this season. Yeah I mean like I said earlier I don't see them as a winning team. There's still too many holes on this roster. Offensive line is definitely a concern of not only buy. But several other media outlets in the Tampa Bay area the office of line just to put it bluntly is just it's not good. The Cleveland Browns Conn exposed them a little bit during the 3rd preseason game there's a reason the Bucs have have one of the longest odds to make the Super Bowl according to Vegas and all the pro the betters out there there's a reason that they're that they're long shots a lot of people don't believe in the Steve lot of people believe in James Winston. So you have the chance to make the Super Bowl is not good. I don't even think the chance this year to make the playoffs is all that well all that good and I say that not because again not because of the talent issue that I do believe they have a lot of talent but if you go down if you look at the Bucs schedule it's pretty brutal. I think they go on and on their. Home game actually so yeah they've. Just rattled off real quick. Week 4 they play. They play at was at the Rams that they play at the same follow week that they play in London against the Panthers so they have a bye week and they play at Seattle at Tennessee so I mean that's that's a 6 week stretch where you know on paper you're looking at it and you're saying well I don't know if there's many wins if any in that stretch so we'll see what happens what their final record will be I say anywhere from 77 to 98 but I just don't see the Super Bowl this year and I probably don't see it next year if you have the back on the show next year and I'll probably say the same thing last drastic changes happen to the roster but you know we see it it takes 2 or 3 years to build a solid roster. At the box or if you're one of that were to do coaching staff so it's going to be slow it's going to be a little bit of pain pain at times but I think with this new coaching staff they can eventually get back to where they want to thousands of we'll get you back on next year from the Super Bowl Parade Alex thank you very much for coming on and on that shying about some of I thank you Bob Now to a fellow team in the N.F.C. South and a team that came so close to the Super Bowl last year it's time to head to New Orleans and Amy just as the saying be right for the Times Picayune New Orleans Absecon Amy how are the saints looking ahead of the 2019 season. You know they're looking pretty good so one of the big things for this team is there there were no whole lot of starter changes from last season 2 was expected for 2019 so when the starters and been in during the preseason then they look like they're ready to go the backups in the Rockies that need a little more fine tuning and just into the game so this is a pretty big event for Sean Payton and on his team because they must if they haven't made many changes must be thinking this is the year in which they can really succeed. 1st share so why sheer everybody was thinking super bowl or bus to super bowl or bust and they got really close and it didn't quite happen you know drew brees is 40 years old now so he as he likes to joke e is much closer to the and of his career that me as to the start of it so you've got of think that peace is a really coming together for this team and it feels like an on their one of those years where it super bowl or bus to get yeah and let's talk a bit about drew brees himself a she said he's 40 years old how easy over the help has he gone past you that's a tough question waste that tom grainy being you know 40 plus think is like 4243 and and then you've got some other quarterbacks who are getting up there are 2 big gaiman's a valving i don't think we're going to see a 15 year old corey back in you know the next 20 years but who knows it's going to happen because of all of the medical advances and all the technology and offense of ones are getting better and they're protecting their quarterbacks but i would say i don't know if i want to use over the hill kiss that it's that has a bit of a negative connotation i think he's you know with then you you know own sooth 34 years of retirement but i don't think he's over the hill because he said once he once he feels like you can't do it anymore in the nation be plying so she feels like hughes 100 percent not his doctor i am to some that well has house event got the weapons site he needs for this season it's a wide receiver people who can really take those passes from it Yeah absolutely Michael Thomas he was a late you know. Not addition but he got to camp Lakes he was negotiating a contract extension and starting next season he'll be the highest paid wide receiver in all of the N.F.L. So unless somebody gets a new contract between then and now which is bound to happen and he's on pace for what could be another record breaking season for having and from top down seems wide receivers or has really deep it leads there with Michael Thomas and then out of the backfield Albon Camero who is you know labeled as a running back but he's really involved in the passing game too and Camaro is the real deal so between Camero and Thomas and everybody else Brees Brees has a fully loaded Arsenal so they often sounds pretty good patellas about the defense the defenses the defense is going to be. Incredible to just based on what we've been able to see from those starters you return a guy like Cameron Jordan who is at the top of the league in sacks just about every year. They got a good sign back with Sheldon Rankins one of their defensive linemen he tore his Achilles early in the playoffs but he's starting the practice now so it's looking like he's going to be able to come back a little faster than what you normally would expect with a tendon recovery so that's good then you have MARSH ON lot of Moore who time and time again in the defensive backfield he's one of the you know best D.B.'s around so you got these these really key players all over the field next think I think things are going to be good for that you know barring an injury barring something crazy like we saw with the F A falcon last year right show you know they were you know all preseason it looks like things are going to be really good for them they were going to win the N.F.C. South and then they got hit with a myriad of injuries and you know things the chips fall where they did yeah absolutely OK So so you totally sounds pretty good on the offense and the defense on are there any weaknesses. So sure before the preseason started you know the same time it had a reliable kick return or in a couple years no I think that looks like it's about to change they brought in Minnesota as. Weapon returns Marcus Sheryl's but he's been sidelined with an undisclosed injury for most of training camp so that left some room for a rookie out of a very small school to get his reps and he's he's shown now he had a part in turn for a touchdown last week against the Jets and he's leading the league in average height return yardage and kick return yardage So that's a good sign I doubt they are going to play in today's game because he's pretty much done all he can do to solidify you know his chances that are Auster spot but yeah and everybody thinks that you know the passion is a little leaves a little to be desired but so time not jumping off the edge there yet so taking into account a couple of words Super Bowl room the. But actually you know things didn't come together but eventually I think I think they're a chance and it's much more than one word but yeah I think I think they can do it. Pretty hard to start off hard but if they can get through September you know without. Minor bumps and bruises I think I think things could be interesting so that completes the N.F.C. West we've done half of the N.F.C.

And the final team it is 14 runs off one ball Surely that's impossible I don't know I'm going to ask be asking the guest about that why don't they just stop but in the same way you can't school 14 runs of one ball with weights and possibly can have a school 6 and then ask that question that's the kind of question you can ask between 3 and 4 because we're going to be talking to Brian Wardle from Radio New Zealand he's commentated on more than $250.00 Test matches and $401.00 day internationals he's known as the voice of New Zealand cricket we're taking your calls and seeing a few of mine and hope for yours as well Texas now at 85058 and will be opening the lines very very soon as well let's go back to the 2nd half then of the U.S. Sports program Welcome back to the North American sports show on 5 Live My name's Jordan can walk out and you can hear from James Wickham as well we are continuing our tour of the N.F.L. We have brought you previews from all of the N.F.L. Teams ahead of the season where pretty much near the end now we've got 3 more for you tonight the final 6 or 7 next week as the season kicks off this upcoming weekend there's loads being going on in the North American sports world which will bring you up to date with ones we've done our N.F.L. Previews and H.L. Media day has been today that is one of those bizarre days in the N.H.L. Calendar where a load of the N.H.L. Stars turn up and basically perform in front of the cameras and they do lots of interviews. They do lots of skating and they do lots of nice poses in all a bag equipment and it's one of those days when you never know some news sometimes comes out and the big story still which we have touched on over the summer on the North American sports show is the restricted free agent class of 2019 is proving difficult to sign No it was always highlighted as a potential issue in the N.H.L. That there was this really talented group of young players who were just finishing Beth 1st contracts in the N.H.L. And they all needed to be signed this summer and there are so many of them which was the thing that made it unusual and nobody knew quite how it was going to go there's a shift in the N.H.L. Right now where your older players who used to get their big contracts at the end of their career the thank you for bringing us the cups are now those contracts are now being squeezed because more money is being demanded by the younger players who in previous years had to earn that money by clocking up the years in the N.H.L. That shifting but the problem for teams right now is in the transitional period that they find themselves in they haven't got the money freed up to pay some of these young superstars the likes of Mitch Munna at the Toronto Maple Leafs the likes of me Qur'an the Colorado Avalanche Charlie McAvoy of the Boston Bruins only a couple of the restricted free agents this season have actually signed a deal and it means that all of these players who are supposed to be reporting to training camp next week will currently not be turning up until a deal is struck Mitch manner has taken the unlikely step of going across to explore options of training in Switzerland and other players have also explored other options when it comes to where they can train if their agents and teams can. Sorts out the contracts before training camp starts one of the biggest problems that these players are having is the amount of years that teams are willing to sign for there seems to also now be a move away from the traditional 8 year contract which used to be the given to any young superstar but since the likes of Austin Matthews for the Tronto Maple Leafs and other big name players have chosen against signing the full 8 years so it basically gives them the option that in 5 years time or 4 years' time they can renegotiate another contract and of course by that they're banking on themselves to be greatly improved on when they signed their initial contract therefore they would be in a position to sign a much bigger contract much earlier in their career interesting times we're waiting for the penny to drop in this particular market that has been talk of ones one goes all of them will go but that now seems to not be the case but there is a lot of anxiety around the N.H.L. As to how these teams are going to sign these players and for the N.H.L. Itself it is not a good look when you've got so many young talented stars who potentially might be missing from the N.H.L. Rosters When the beginning of October rolls around will bring you more on that as we get over the next few weeks and as the N.H.L. Season approaches but now back to the N.F.L. And to our previews and we are going to hear about the Houston Texans and Cody Davis and John some sports guy are hosts of locks on Texans thanks for coming along chaps and thanks for doing this with I want to start with you what's the season going to look like for the Texans. To be honest right now it doesn't look too well as you saw in the preseason I believe one in 3 and to top it all a lot of every single game ended with some Conny injury last night against the Los Angeles Rams you saw Joe wear when apparently with a foot injury so there goes our backup quarterback do you also that take a look at the 3rd preseason game what it takes is last a big time player and Lamar Miller and as of right now there's a big void to feel at the running back position so the 21000 season it doesn't look too well right now especially with all of the injury problems that they are coming in with but at the end of the day you know hopefully the Texans will still be able to at least get a wildcard spot incident 21000 season yeah and Joe knows this because you know you haven't got a general manager at the moment which seems a bit odd really so has the been real problems with recruitment recruitment has been a problem getting contracts and trade trays done has been a problem that's actually funny because out of the 2 of us I've been the one who has had the most problem with this huge issue that their farm people at the helm for jobs are supposed to be meant for one guy looking at our organization it has been a total mess since the off season has started simply because of the firing of Bryan Gainey and haven't said deal where are the players that he brought in and his miscues at G.M. So it's been a rough and rocky ride so far yeah OK So let's look on the pitch then come see him and tell me about the show and what's on his he go as he got the star quality that you need a call about. Of course most definitely he has the star quality that that he needs and quote of the community he's already a top tune quarterback in this league and the pendant on how the 21900 season goes in might be a little bit of a stretch but I believe at the end of the year he has a chance to be tough fall off not a problem is the Texans still do not have an obvious of lining Neath cause a lot of problems for the Shah was because he's in a situation where he does not have a lot of time to hold on to throw the football and he's in a situation where if is less than 2 seconds he has a craze among his own because the Texans office of LA is not strong enough to allow him to show his his true in full potential because he does he have the ability to hit those wide receivers I mean I other weapons that for him to get to if you see what I mean oh yeah most definitely yards or Hopkins armies talking about arguably the best receiver in the league and when you look on the other side of the feel you also have Will Fuller who in my opinion is one of the one of the most underrated receivers in this league but once again it all goes back to IF IF will follow can stay healthy and you also look at a guy. That's going to be in there or slot who is Kiki to U.T. You know like the Texans they arguably have one of the best receiving corps in this league so the show was and will have the weapons this year what about the defense then John I mean how is that stuck in hopeless here I think the defense will actually be OK We brought in caution Gibson out of the place exact Seville last season and I think he would be much better for this defense in his role as safety among side re then the Honey Badger was last year so I think that difference will be OK despite the issue with David economy I'm expecting a big here from willing merciless is this is his contract year so he has to play and ball out a number. A few of the guys like Charles Oh out of U.T. The rookie I think he will have that 45 sacks couple tackles for loss of course used to have just James Watt and Carlos walk ins does a reader Those are the 2 guys are expected to have really breakout year so I think our defense will be OK which is right now the only thing I have confidence in I want to look at is out of the ball and I'm going to ask it just because a lot of people won't know the honey badger Yes Tyra Matthew thank you I just need to clarify some things because for a moment I thought you've got something bizarre wondering around the failed and I was strange they tell us a bit but then John about belie Brian do you think he's got the chops needed for this guy. So I've always been a Bill O'Brien advocate this is well documented well documented I think Bill O'Brien is a good coach of course he has things he needs to work on like clock management a game time decisions in game decisions however right now. I don't know if it's between him or the role between the genomes I'm just not confident in the coaching staff on up going into the season not deaf we think Bill O'Brien is one of the coaches that can make anything happen out of a little bit a few years ago everybody knows in the sports were we had our gree one of the worst quarterbacks in the single season in the history of the in a fail or Broncos while still not one not a game still made it so they see playoffs or want to use the subdivision so he can do a lot a little but now says he has a lot we are expecting a lot more I'm very briefly shot someone one would only relate in any chance of a Superbowl run I guess no. This is a lowest menace a loss out once again with the Texans that health because there's so many times that Houston Texans season would change in a blink of an eye do 2 injuries and if everyone can stay healthy believe they can make a run at the Superbowl but as the way things are looking right now this is going to be tough let's fly from Houston now to Los Angeles and we are going to hear about the charges and Shannon foreign is a sideline reporter for the challenges and the host of the Gary and Shannon show on i Heart Radio in Los Angeles or at least the co-host anyway Shannon lovely to have you along thank you so much tell us what the challenges season is going to look like in 2019 well it was looking a hell of a lot better before the Chargers suffered some key injuries in training camp it was a blow to the heart of the defense when during James Ray injured a foot he injured his foot in I believe it was college and they did a minimal surgery while he had a screw put in that foot and it was really aggravated in training camp and so now he's out 3 to 4 months if you watch any Charger football last year you solder when James when ever there was any action he was all over the place. Lined up at several different positions he was a Pro Bowler for 2 of those positions so it's really like I said a gut punch that we lost when James there are other guys are able to step up and take on versatile roles on the field on that defense Another thing is they went out if you remember the Chargers went into the playoffs with little to no linebackers it was a core that was really affected by injury last season and when they played their 1st playoff game in Baltimore against a very talented Ravens oftens they lined up 7 defensive backs because they were out all linebackers and then they went to New England and they played the same scheme and Bill Bell it check it just can't do that with Bill Bell effect and he was able to exploit that defense and it just did not work out the same I believe it was 35 to nothing by the time halftime rolled around so just a real heartbreaking end of the season when you got so close with such a talented but aging quarterback in Philip Rivers who knows how rare it is to get that close to the ultimate prize of the Super Bowl so who does the blame lie with that is it with the with the coach Anthony Lind always talking more about the the back hall face and the general manager I don't think you can blame anyone when injuries hit one group of players like that you know it's just impossible that it's not that they only had 2 or 3 linebackers they were stacked It's just that that seems to be the group where injuries hit the hardest they went out in the offseason the general manager did a great job of recruiting linebackers of bringing in Thomas Davis who's as 1516 year veteran in the league bringing in Drew tranquil from Notre Dame bringing in a couple other linebackers that provide size and the depth that we need going forward I think that this is going to be a very competitive group I think it's going to be a deep group and I think it's going to serve them much. Well down the line Well let's talk about Philip Rivers himself as he said he is aging slightly but is he still got it to take the charges a long way in this season I got to tell you he hasn't played at all this pre-season coach land had taken a look at what the Rams did the Rams obviously going to the Super Bowl they'd sat all of their starters pretty much for every preseason game so coach Len decided to do that with the Chargers this year because he felt like in the playoffs we were a little bit tired as I mentioned there were injuries so maybe you take those 4 games off the table for your key guys and they'll have more gas in the tank by the time we hit January so we haven't seen Philip Rivers in this preseason that means pretty much nothing because all he would come in for a couple series here and there maybe and the 1st or 2nd or 3rd preseason game but what they did is they brought the saints in they brought the New Orleans Saints to town and they shared practices 2 days the Saints obviously won the end of should have won the N.F.C. If it wasn't for the ray of that controversial non P.-I call the Saints are a great team very talented roster and they took it he had that maybe 80 snaps against the Saints and it was a real game like atmosphere he said it was so much more valuable to him than the very little but 7 or 8 plays he would have played in preseason so he feels more prepared in his opinion going into the regular season when we face the Colts next week then he has in previous years when he did play a minimal preseason BALL How does it feel now given that he's only bought 2 or 3 years since you returned as a franchise from San Diego do the challenges now feel that they are settled back in L.A. And do they feel they've now got a base where they can really push on this season and maybe even make a run late into the playoffs to a Super Bowl it hasn't been an easy go for the Chargers when they moved to Los Angeles from San Diego they didn't have a stadium so they were. Playing and are playing in a $35000.00 seat soccer stadium essentially now it's really special for fans to get to this stadium because it's such an intimate stadium you can hear and feel all the sights and the sounds you know you can hear Philip Rivers yelling at the officials on the field from your seat at the highest seat in the stands it's that in cement and that cozy and it's really something special that you'll never see happen in the N.F.L. Again they have had a lot of fans from opposing teams infiltrate their stadium because I think a lot of people like to pick at least one road game to go to in in the N.F.L. With friends or family or whatever it is and why not go to Los Angeles where it's $72.00 degrees if you're in Detroit or Baltimore or whatever so that's one reason for it another reason is it's a novelty stadium so people do want to go check it out but they've had a lot of opposing fans in their stadium I think they'll feel finally at home next year when they move into their massive most beautiful of its kind a stadium that they'll be sharing with the Rams out in the an NGO another part of Los Angeles off on a preview tonight takes us to Denver to the Broncos James Wickham can bring you more than it can do is the Denver Broncos I'm a list for the model honey Hodell MC How's it looking in Denver in 2090. Thank you for having me on things are lookin a little bit better you know the Broncos seem to be trending in the right direction but as far as championship contender even a pop can tender this season it might be a bit off yet tell us where the problems often do they saw in the off and. Well that often has been an issue for a number of years now and that's probably going to continue to be the case the Broncos did improve in a number of areas on the off chance mainly a quarterback you know the last 3 years going from Trevor Simeon to the likes of a guy like Joe hurricane I'm not a Joe Flacco I mean that's that's definitely an improvement but I mean how much of an improvement is Joe Flacco you know he's a guy where if you have a great team around him he can be great but can he carry a team that he hasn't done that since that's your own run in 2012 so that's that's probably where it is in the off chance of line I mean they brought in Mike on check who's considered one of the best offensive line coaches in the game but still it's gets might take some time so often it is probably in a transition year but things like the team in general do appear to be heading in the right direction do you think Joe Flacco has the weapons he needs you know wide receiver and so I wanted to get him through the year. I think that the Broncos this season do have adequate weapons in the past game and typically the Ravens the past few years have done much better job of protecting Flacco was a good oftens of why and a solid defense but not really giving him much as far as pass weapons they did a lot with tight end but nobody really game changing of the tight end for him since maybe even Dustin Pitta So the Broncos I mean they went out they traded down in the 1st round they got to know what fans who was probably one of the best already one of the best athletes a tight end in the game me a really good player from the University of Iowa Emanuel Sanders is back from Achilles which he suffered in November which is insane and the fact that he's back and looking as good as he is and you have a sudden and Deshaun Hamilton entering their 2nd year in the league so the weapons pass weapons do look OK there's a lot of unproven talent there but it's a lot of high draft talent as well so projected headed in the right direction but really for Flacco I mean not being the most mobile quarterback it's a lot of it's going to come down to how well they can protect him up front about the all phones let's talk defunds and. Yeah the defense is going to be. Really good I mean we just saw recently there was an interview with I believe it was a hand Sean McVeigh and metaphor 3 of the best young oftens of minds in the game and each of them praised new Broncos a coach in a long time defensive coordinator Vic Fangio and he said some of the best defenses in the league for gosh the last 1015 years now he's finally get a chance to be a head coach it'll be good job disguising coverages he's not just a lot of teams in the N.F.L. Today are going to more of that cover one single high safety and he looks to be more multiple on the back end with a cover too and shifting coverages last 2nd to confuse the quarterback and that's just from the coverage standpoint the scheme standpoint Broncos will be shifting from a more man up kind of backyard ball kind of style where they try to out athlete guys now is going to be a bit more deception involved which should help the Broncos a bit and I mean it's got to start up with the pass rushers right Yvonne Miller number 2 overall pick in 2011 yet to win the defensive player of the year but it's He's been close a few times obviously Super Bowl M.V.P. One of the best defensive players in football and opposite him Bradley I mean if it wasn't for various learned last year the Colts choke probably would have one defensive Rookie Of The Year 12 sacks 5th overall pick in 2018 and he has been really exceptional in preseason and the coaches can not stop talking them up you know pick Fangio he's had some pretty good players in his past and they're saying that Chuck is going to be playing that Cleo macro in his defense so watch out for champ this year as far as the back 7 Broncos went out and spent a good amount of money on the secondary specifically this offseason bringing in Karim Jackson who is a cornerback and safety for the Texans for a long time he's only playing exclusively safety I think he's going to have a amalgam Jenkins kind of role before the but the bills you not them Jenkinson kind of a he's still a safety but he can come down and match up and also bring in by scowling and so the secondary is looking better I was a little bit worried about it coming. End of the season but Chris here is Junior's looking really good one of the best quarterbacks in the game probably the best inside outside cornerback in the game as far as a guy who can play both boundary and slot and then you also have some depth showing up as well and Isaac get him and be so it looks like a pretty good secondary linebackers are a little bit of a concern because I've been hit with injuries at linebacker already and that was already probably the deal because position on the defense so linebacker might be an issue this year but they have a really good pass rush the offensive line looks solid and the secondary looks solid so they should be able to negate a little bit of that lack of talent at linebacker just because the other areas look very strong very briefly you have to go John Elway as general manager as well massively storied name in in N.F.L. Do you think what he's doing this season the players that he's moved to bring in can lead you towards the Super Bowl. Not this season I don't think Super Bowl is in line to season the A.F.C. West is way too stacked the Chiefs might be the best team in the league the Chargers are really good despite all the injuries they have suffered which happens every year so the divisions are very tough but I do think that the Broncos are headed in the right direction but as much as it depended on one player you know they've got to find that quarterback and Joe Flacco isn't a long term option so a lot's going to come down to this Broncos 2nd 2nd round pick this season while people thought he'd be a 1st round pick a lot of talent some inconsistency and he's looked better every game in preseason this year until he suffered in and injuries so we'll see there but really this draft class and the direction the franchise you know as much as a case of any team in the N.F.L. If you don't have a quarterback you're not going anywhere so a lot of come down to what Drew develops into if he can be the guy for them sorry that is it for the North American sports show this week you have heard about the Houston Texans you've heard about the Denver Broncos the Los Angeles geology is the New Orleans Saints the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the Somme Francisco 49 ers next week we will conclude our preview of the N.F.L.
