Welcome to NFL Daily, where we are not psychotic or psychic. I am Greg Rosenthal, and beyond lucky today to be joined right off the top of the showahead of Nekobi Dean at Linebacker. So Saints fans out there, you know what I'm going to say. The bonfire. It's raging again. It could still happen. A couple of final notes. 49ers rookie running back, Isaac Garendo, ham string injury, first day at camp. One of those fantasy sleepers we watch with some freaky athleticism. That's never a good sign. It's also tough to know, my next one, what to make of injury reports this time of year.But when you look at the Browns players who are sidelined, it's all their best players. A lot of them. Nick Chubb, Jedrick Wills, Jack Conklin. So there's your two safeties, and then Chubb. And then Dalvin Tomlinson is getting knee surgery. And Greg Newsom, their starting cornerback, is now getting ham string surgery and may not be ready for week one. If they're getting surgeries now, they were hoping to avoid it. And so that's bad news. Finally, last one, and we get out of here, Chris Ballard, the GM of the Colts, was asked to pump up some players, and he really didn't want to. And then finally, he said, Jonathan Taylor will have a big year. That's where I'll stop. His words. That's where I'll stop, too, at least before the break. If Ballard's saying that, Taylor might be one of those post-type all-stars we talked about with Patrick Dardy. Let's take a quick break, and we'll be back on the other side, wrap up the week with Brian Baldinger. I am So excited to be wrapping up Week 3 here on NFL Daily with one of the most respected, let's face it, best-looking, best lives in the entire game, Brian Baldinger, coming straight off a plane from Italy.Your Instagram, Baldi, was all pro elite. I apologize for the come down that is coming out to a computer with me just days after you get off that plane.Yeah, well, it You're living the very best life for anybody that goes to Italy. I would tell most people, Greg, Rome is not the place to go in July. It just isn't. But you have to pay your respects. You can't go to Italy and not pay your respects at the altar of St. Peter's or pick a location, the Colossium. So we did that and ended up in Sardinia, and that's just a hard place to live. It's just the quality of life is just that good.And now we're going to be just talking offensive lines. But yeah, check out Baldy on Instagram because I know you were in Rome a little bit, but you were also in the water. Wherever Baldy goes, the water is not far away. I actually want to bring up something that was on your Instagram earlier in this offseason, and I'm going to do it. I'm surprising you here, Baldy, by setting up a brand new segment here on NFL Daily. Will we ever get you back again to do it? I don't know, but we're going to do it one time. And the segment is called Crystal Baldy, and it's based on an astoundingly good prediction you made before the draft. So we're going to have our listeners listen to something you said before the draft.This is Baldy's analysis from the pool just got done my morning swim. I know they signed Kirk Cousins to a big deal. Kirk Cousins can be fine, but I feel Atlanta is in the market for a quarterback. Every mock draft I've looked at Atlanta's going defense. I feel like the Atlanta Falcons are in the market for a quarterback. This is the year to do it. They got Kirk Cousins there. Nobody they draft has to play right away. They've got a caretaker, maybe more than a caretaker. But I feel like the Atlanta Falcons are shopping, and they're going to be shopping for a quarterback. And that's what this morning's analysis is all about. Let's shake it up. I feel like the Falcons are going for it.58 pick in the 2024 NFL draft. The Atlanta Falcons select Michael Pinnock Jr.Well, there it is.Wow. Washington. That is the first surprise of the NFL draft, to say the least.There it was Baldy. I heard all the draft analysts after that. They said, No one saw this coming. You know who saw coming? Crystal Baldy from the pool. You're doing better work at the pool than people are doing in the lab.It's interesting. This thing, Greg. I met Michael Pennix Jr. And his agent at the Super Bowl this year, and I'd watch the Championship game, and I'd watch the game against Texas, and I'd watched them. I didn't really study them yet. And then the more I studied them, the more I liked them. Then I worked for the Falcons. I did their preseason games for when Mike Smith first got there, and Matt Ryan was drafted. I just remember, and I've known Arthur Blank for a long time. The only time, this is not any offense to anybody else, but the only times the Falcons have ever been relevant in recent history is when Michael Vick was there and Matt Ryan was there. Now, maybe Kirk Cousins changed that, but I just felt like, okay, I know they gave Kirk a bunch of money, but I knew once they saw and met Michael low four-sixes? Are you going to run in the high four fives? And he just scoffed at it and he goes, I'm in the four fives. We didn't see him run a lot.But he's got like, Anthony Richardson type speed. He might be the second or third. I don't know what Lamar is or where Kyler is. But he's going to be not very far from those guys when he has to take off and salvage a play. That's something that Kirk's never going to have to do. Fortunately, he built his career around just being able to make the right reads and getting the ball out quick.That is fascinating because, yeah, I haven't really thought about how that's different. And look, he doesn't have the wiggle of some of those top guys. Maybe he's closer to a Daniel Jones, where if he has a seam, he can go hit it. But I think that's fascinating because I always say Kirk Cousins is not quite the guy people think in the sense that he's not always the number 12 quarterback in the league or wherever you want to slot him. He is extremely streaky. He has five to six games in every season where he looks like an MVP candidate, but he also has bad streaks, too. He can be up and down, so he wants to avoid some of those bad streaks to start the year coming off a tour in Achilles. All right, enough on the Falcons. I do want to get to what's your Crystal Baldy prediction for NFL Daily that we're going to play back to you next time you come on if you ever do Grace us with your presence again, Bobby.Well, Greg, I will definitely come back. If invited, I will come back. I know this is not going to make any sense to anybody, but I just feel like the history of the Jets say there's no way, just the history of the Jets, they're going to screw it up. That's their history. Hassan red it. I mean, he's not camp. How do you not get that deal done the day of the draft? Anyways, I feel like this is a talented team. A really talented defense, really deep. The offensive line is all predicated upon how healthy they stay, and that's not going to be an easy thing to predict with their history of Tyron Smith and even Morgan Moses last year, and Aaron Rodgers with his four snaps last year. I feel like the Jets are going to deliver. That's why they're on the front. That's why they're going to be... That's why they are front loaded on primetime games just to see, and then maybe they can backload it if they do get streaky and get hot and play to their talent level. They won seven games last year somehow with the quarterback play that was just dreadful.Just dreadful. Then the defense collapsed at the end because you can't win games if you don't score points. They couldn't score any again. I feel like this could be a much improved and a very good offensive line.Offensive linemen are just built different. I'll get you out on this, Baldy. I'll give you one last group of teams. The offensive line here that concerns you the most that could get in the way of this team improving, being where they want to be. I'll throw out the Seahawks, the Saints, the Commanders, and the Jags. Is there one team there that worries you a little bit going into the season, Seahawks, Saints, Commanders, Jags?Well, the Saints have not been able to put... We don't know what's going on with Ryan Ramcheck. I don't know if you have any updates.He's not playing this year, and Dennis Allen hasn't ruled out that he could return in another year, but he's not playing this year.Look, it did not work. At at all when they drafted a left tackle in Trevor Penning. Trevor Penning is an elite athlete. He's not played well.They're trying him at right tackle is the new thing. They're trying him.He came to Oasis Masterminds. He was there, met Trevor. I had not met him before. They got a new offense line coach, new way of doing things down there. Jon Beton is down there running the offense, like a Shana Hans style offense now being run in New Orleans, which might be helpful to him. But I think Fuaga is going to be a really good player. We'll see. Sometimes it's growing pains there. But they're a group that have not been able to put together. Their offense has struggled. The running game has struggled. Derek Carr has taken a lot of hits. He played hurt a lot last year. They have not been able to put together a great line the way Sean Payton did for a lot of years there in New Orleans. And so it's a concern because they're counting on these two young guys to man the corners and the edges in Penny and Fuaga. And one guy has struggled, Maybe it'll be better in a new system, and the other guy is going to be a rookie. And sometimes it takes a little bit of time to figure out this league.Coaching matters a lot. We talked about Clint Kubiak coming in, and that's their best hope because you said it for all the ways they miss Sean Payton, and there are many with the quarterbacks and play callings. The offensive line play just went right down, and that's what it's all about. It's guys in the trenches. I mean, someone should hire you one of these days, but then you'd have to give up on this lifestyle. I think you have a better off this way, Baldy.Lifestyle is going to win out every time, Greg. It's win out for the last 30 years. It's going to continue to win out. I got to balance it up a little bit.I love it. Lifestyle winning out here. You make our lifestyle better here. And we're wrapping up the week with you, Baldy. So, Randy, let's hit the music. Appreciate everyone for listening this week. Yeah. I may be messed up my lifestyle committing to this daily show. Daily is different, but it's a lot of fun. And I'm really having fun with this show in training camp, so we're going to be back next week. We're going to visit a couple of training camps. Until then, we'll see you on Monday.

He's not playing this year, and Dennis Allen hasn't ruled out that he could return in another year, but he's not playing this year.

Look, it did not work. At at all when they drafted a left tackle in Trevor Penning. Trevor Penning is an elite athlete. He's not played well.
