You know, 47 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 3: it's it's part being a top back and being and 48 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,679 Speaker 3: running this world and to do what he's doing. He's 49 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 3: the prosence of his second NFL and rushing. So he's 50 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 3: what the doctor waterer for Cowboy's offense. And keep in 51 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 3: mind he's also wanted to get a lot of white 52 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 3: boxes because of Ceedee Lamb and George pick him in 53 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 3: this amazing passing game. And you know he doesn't have 54 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 3: a lot of heavy boxing, but you know he's been great. 55 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 3: You know this this this team all the scored six 56 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 3: touchdowns all last season.

And and you know, Shotty said 61 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 3: best we bet on him. We bet right, you know, 62 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 3: we bet on him. 63 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 4: And and Sir may Seawan said that they were going in. 64 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 3: A different direction, and they did, and it's kind of 65 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 3: worked out for both parts of the think Jim Jimmers 66 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 3: running game is doing pretty good and certain of the 67 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 3: Cowboys love where they're getting from Javanta Williams. 68 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, it certainly looks really dynamic. I want to ask 69 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: you about some of the injuries here. We already know 70 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: about Trayvon Diggs, Donovan Wilson. That's going to really impact 71 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: that the secondary there. But a couple of questions. I 72 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: know guys are kind of working back off. I r 73 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: opened up some windows. What do we knowing Tyler Smith's questionable? 74 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: Cooper Bebe I know he's one of the guys that's 75 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: working his way back. What are some of the injuries 76 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: for this game for the Cowboys? 77 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 4: You know. 78 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 3: Thomas Smith should be fine. Why you Thomas? You know 79 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 3: he has not practiced. You know certainly you talked about 80 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 3: Donald wils but Donald Wilson mayb we had one year 81 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 3: Thomas at safety, possible going to be out. Trevon Diggs, 82 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 3: he didn't play last weekend and the Cowboys may be 83 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 3: moving away from this form of Pro Bowl forma all 84 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 3: Pro guy. Michael Parsons, but he just has not had 85 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 3: a good scene in the scheme mentally physically. 86 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 4: Uh, they're talking about him. 87 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 3: Going on I are you know, there's the guy who 88 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 3: we could go miss the game because of concussion. Everything, 89 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 3: acting their home. What are you doing at the house 90 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 3: in the concussion that calls you to miss two games? 91 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 3: That's course with activity, right, that's of course the book. Uh. 92 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 3: But you know Stephen Joe the coup was admitted to 93 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 3: Day that the hours of options for him, so that 94 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 3: they feel good about the cornerback position and the guys 95 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 3: that are playing without him and ready to move forward. 96 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 3: But outside of that, I don't think they're an even 97 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 3: major injured consumers further impact on how this team's gonna play. 98 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 5: So it's pretty rare clarience that you have the number 99 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 5: one offense in the league and the very last place 100 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 5: defense in the league. Can you talk a little bit 101 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 5: about that imbalance? Why that exists there? And if that's the. 102 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 3: Two thousand Rams, two thousand Rams. 103 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 6: Had that okay, and the. 104 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 3: Fact the greatest show on so don't they actudent? I 105 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 3: think if there's ten six seas, I don't think it 106 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 3: may after the Bowl. But they had to number one 107 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 3: offense and the defense that was given up twenty nine 108 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 3: points a game. 109 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 5: Well so so so why why why that imbalance in Dallas? 110 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 5: And is that effect in the locker room at all? 111 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 3: It's not affecting the locker room because there's you know, 112 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I courage shot Namer and uh 113 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 3: they keep these guys together and they the big they're 114 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 3: a great group and they're all full of each other. 115 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 3: But where are the difference making players on defense? I mean, 116 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 3: Jared pays his offensive guys. You know he had one 117 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 3: defense guy that needs to pay any trading right, if 118 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 3: you're paying Deck at the top of market, you pay 119 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 3: see at the top of market, you paid a tight end. 120 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 3: You just paid him. You paid h Thomas Smith, you 121 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 3: know the high state guard the league. You know, you 122 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 3: don't have any extensive guys on defense, different making guys 123 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 3: on defense, and you wonder why you know your defense 124 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 3: isn't up, you know, I mean Parsons was was the 125 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 3: best passwords the league, one of the best defens ends 126 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 3: the Leagueserly guy that did would have helped his defense, 127 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 3: and you didn't want to pay him. 128 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 6: He got rid of him for nose tackle in the 129 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 6: passing league. Uh So the defense has been bad. H 130 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 6: this is after first has been bad. Uh, it's worse 131 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 6: now without Michael Parsons. 132 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 3: Uh again, Chevron Diggs, the guy, the former football guy 133 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 3: you arecount going to come back that the level has 134 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 3: not come back to the level. Uh so they're not 135 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 3: any difference making players and you don't have enough for 136 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 3: you know, you have one or two guys, but you know, 137 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 3: you just don't have a gang of guys on defense 138 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 3: and are playing and at the top of the game. 139 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 3: And the linebacker goys is one of the worst than 140 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 3: League one guy you talked about coming back my n 141 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 3: to mark An Overstan, you know he won't back into 142 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 3: it out to the buy. He's a guy who has 143 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 3: potential to be that type of player. But you know 144 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 3: they're not. They're not other dudes on defense. You gotta 145 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 3: have dudes, Okay, in this the leeue, you gotta have dudes. 146 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 3: They've got dudes on offense, not many dudes on defense. 147 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: Trying here with Clarien Sill the last couple here for 148 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: you man really appreciate the time as always, So yeah, 149 00:06:58,880 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: I think that that perfect. 150 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 2: He sums up at least what we're seeing there for 151 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 2: the defense. 152 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: For the offense, though obviously a lot of happiness about 153 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: not only what you're doing the running game, but in 154 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: the passing game. I think Jake Ferguson stepped forward has 155 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: been one of the more impressive things. I've been been 156 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: a big fan of his now for a couple of years, 157 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: but to see what he's been for this offense, especially 158 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: when ceed went down, just tell me a little bit 159 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: about sort of his impact and really all around, because 160 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,679 Speaker 1: he also does a hell of a job blocking. 161 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know the Titan quarterbacks best friend 162 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 3: in the tight end, right, A lot of the blanket, 163 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 3: you know, and and and you talk about Cebe. You 164 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 3: have pickings, you know, the big play guys outside. Teams 165 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 3: are teams. 166 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 4: Are giving attention to the guys. 167 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 3: An outside, which opens up the run the game. But 168 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 3: well he was also opens up the undeathros for Ferguson 169 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 3: and he's eating. He's catching the balls eating. You know, 170 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 3: you don't he has a lot of touch down, a 171 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 3: lot of catches. You don't see a lot of yards 172 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 3: for catch. You know, he doesn't have a lot of yards. 173 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 3: But he helps move the change. You know, he keeps 174 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 3: them in manage more down the distance by just two yards. 175 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 4: Five yards, three yards where he does he take him out. 176 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 3: He's reliable and you know once people really start taking 177 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 3: him looking at those guys outside, you know he's a 178 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 3: seamball you know, and Jack Wilt the seam battle about 179 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 3: seam basking tight in. 180 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 4: But yeah, Jack Ferguson, he also got paid. 181 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 3: His off season. Uh, and he's lived up to it all. 182 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 2: Right, Claria. 183 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 5: So if you were a defensive coordinator about to face 184 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 5: this Dallas Cowboys offense, how would you stop him? 185 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 3: Well, I would have the two best cornerbacks or one 186 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 3: of the best cornerback tens the league lived by Patrick Sartain, 187 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 3: and then and the best patters get the league, you know, 188 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,599 Speaker 3: get the deck. You get the deck, you know, and 189 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 3: and play mad the man, and you know, get them 190 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 3: off their rhythm, get them off their timing. I mean, 191 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 3: I think that's in tricky thing about this game. You 192 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 3: got the number one offense. He talked about the Cowboys 193 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 3: haveing the worst defense, But the Packers have a number 194 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 3: one defense, evely number one past the defense. And that's 195 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 3: why this game is so in tricky. Why if the 196 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 3: Cowboys legitim or they're for real, they think the office 197 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 3: can take them in and carry them to the playoffs. 198 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 3: Do it against Denver, do. 199 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 4: It against certain, do it against this password. 200 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 3: Let's do it the cap beating Denver since ninety two? 201 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 4: Right or No, ninety five. 202 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 3: They have won in. 203 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 4: Devers ninety five. 204 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 3: They're beating Denver since ninety I mean that one in 205 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 3: Denvers too. They haven't beaten Denvers is ninety five because 206 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 3: then those two teams won the Super Bowl. I don't 207 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 3: think the team is the only way to win the 208 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 3: Super Bowls. They'd beat Denver. But yeah, if you want 209 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 3: to make some of your season, do it against this 210 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 3: Denver defense. This Bunco's defense is as good as in 211 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 3: the league. Right, that's still against the past. 212 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,599 Speaker 1: Claires Hill Junior Clarence Hill Junior on Twitter from a 213 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: d LS All City Network. 214 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 2: Clarence, always great to catch up with you man.
