Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Road to World Football Show on Tuesday, August 5th, 2025.

Training Camp marches on. The preseason is nigh. All 32 teams are taking it real seriously this year.

Oh yeah.

They promise that they're actually going to try this now and more fewer than ever are going to even try on the preseason.

But actually in the second half of the show, Danny and I are going to talk about some of the running backs who have to try this preseason because the teams might not try a lot of second and third rounders. The preseason remains there everything. Jaden Blue, Basial Tootin, people of that nature, many more on the list. We're going to get to that in the second half of the show. But to begin, a lot of news. James Cook, we told you, wasn't holding out because he wasn't, has decided to hold out after all. And by hold out, we of course mean hold in and the nomenclature of the NFL where he shows up. You know, he says like his quad hurts or something and then he just kind of stands around, doesn't do anything. That is happening. People are getting actually hurt at Bill's camp. Khalil Shakir is a high ankle sprain. It could be a lot of fallout from that and the Bill's skill core. Jordan Mason, is that his name? Jordan Mason, more hype behind Aaron Jones, because he might not be behind him at all. We've already heard a lot of banter about this could be like a 50-50 backfield. Now we're saying it could be a genuine co-RB-1 deal for ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Then, I don't know, it's silly season. Nick Underhill is a very good reporter. So I'm not, I'm trying to say Nick Underhill's silly season. We're getting to the part of the summer where Spencer Rattler is, quote, clearly outplaying someone. Tyler Shuck, we're going to talk about that if it means anything. Caleb Johnson, people are panicking. Denny panicking on Cam Scadaboo. He said it's never been moreover. People panicking on the Dolphins backfield. Naji Harris is walking laps and some other stuff that we might not have time for that we hope to get to.

Danny, we would be remiss though if we didn't get to this.

Another NFL coach quote, one weirdly obsessed with death has hit the social media interwebs.

What does it, what does it mean?

Mike McDaniel, head coach the Dolphin, seems to be having a good time at training camp,

having to address a Tyreek Hill controversy every 48 hours or so.

Tyreek, of course, most recently said maybe A-Chance shouldn't be our goal line back.

That's fair.

Yeah.

I think he has a point.

I don't know if you say that to reporters uh so mike

mcdaniel started his press conference today for some reason dressed up like it's 35 degrees

okay i will let you finish yeah i mean we need to talk about that but uh yeah so mike mcdaniel

said uh on why it's a great morning and not just a good

morning on Tuesday, quote, because we're another day closer to death. So, you know,

Dolphins stuff going well, I think. He's entered his Shanahan phase, obviously, because Shanahan

said when asked about Jimmy

Garoppolo starting or not starting several years ago, he said, I don't know if any of us
