It makes you trying to shoot 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.880 yourself in the foot. And and it's the the final 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:58.400 goodbye for Ron Rivera. He's gonna be going, Yeah, he 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:00.720 will be going, and fans looking forward to that. And 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:03.800 it's interesting when you go back the fact that Rivera 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:06.360 and McCarthy got hired at same time, and there was 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:08.679 that kind of debate going on there who got the 0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:09.319 better coach? 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:21.880 I remember, we didn't even think about Carolina. That's a 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.440 good one. No, that's a good one. 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:27.560 So when these when these when these NBC affiliates called 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:29.200 me that, that's the kind of stuff they want to 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:32.440 get into. Who's got the better coach? One guy has 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:36.000 won Super Bowl? But okay, you know, your guys won 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:37.880 one two Coach of the Year awards, and so now 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.360 they can't wait to get Ron out the built. So 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:43.479 so they're all, you know, and apparently they're in love 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.440 with the play caller in Houston to be their head coach. 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:48.880 Is Ron Rivert getting another job after. 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:50.400 This as a consultant? 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:50.920 I think. 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:57.400 Coach Honestly, I think Ron Rivera will probably be best 0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:58.960 working in the league somewhere the. 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:00.120 League office type. 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:01.560 Yeah, I can say Ron Rivera. 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:02.000 You know. 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:06.160 Uh remember now Ron was a member of that eighty 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:07.000 five Bears team. 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:10.600 Yeah, don't let people forget. I mean that was That's 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:12.840 how I know about great. 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:19.240 Yeah, you know, so I was like, he's just there, 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:20.520 he was, he was active. 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:26.799 Okay, yeah, I know because eighty five we was negative three. 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:34.280 Remember that nothing beating it into Texas City. I don't 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:42.160 remember that on the Cowboys like Thanksgiving were you might. 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:42.400 Have been. 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.560 One thing that amongst winning the Coach of the Year 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.480 two times I will say this for Ron Rivera, which 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:54.359 is something that other coaches. Maybe he can go to 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:58.760 the NFL League office and help is they let Cam 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:02.520 Newton be Cam Newton. And I think about how Jeff 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:06.160 Fisher Norm Chow tried to box up Vince Young and 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.679 didn't really allow to be the kind of player he was. 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:11.600 And you look at Lamar Jackson today is about to 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:14.440 win another m v P award. It's a guy like 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:16.840 Ron Rivera coming in there and just saying, Okay, Mike 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:20.239 su let's let our quarterback do his things and we'll 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:23.800 change our system to fit him. But this is gonna 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.240 be the last game here. Heck, man, I tell them 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:27.360 who he ran? Tell them who he ran. 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.360 I can I can certify this. I can now co 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:34.880 sign this for Newie. He does the walk off with 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:45.320 tiring man. I saw it. Some start making fun. I 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:57.920 saw it's a real thing in the documentary a little bit. 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:02.480 We didn't need any good no, no, we had we 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.400 had to get over here to get the podcast. But 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.760 y'all want that man, you know, yes, yes, Pro Bowl 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.320 votes came out eating didn't play enough games. 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.800 But the Cowboys I thought he was being Seriously, we're 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:14.680 really doing this. 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.920 The game, the games he played, he was roough of them. 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.080 And there's some really good guys that made the Pro 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:28.960 Bowl on the offensive line. I know our guy Tank 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:31.720 Lawrence didn't make it here, but once again, there's a 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.560 lot of good guys there's This is a very well 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.000 represented team and the fact that seven Cowboys made it, 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.520 everybody should be extremely proud because this is a mean. 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:41.440 These dudes on. 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:44.240 This team are good. They didn't know I don't feel 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.400 like there's any you know, like, what's that guy doing this? 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:47.119 Is like a player. 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:48.440 Well, they asked City. 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.120 Earlier about what the reaction was from the locker room 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.359 when they announced it. He I mean get really good answer. 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.400 I mean, guys are excited about making the Pro Bowl. 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.640 And I know the Pro Bowl has changed over the years. 0:04:57.720 --> 0:04:59.720 Is not as big of a deal as it used 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.240 to be in the Pro Bowl game was basically what 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:02.679 I'm saying. 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.360 But it's still the pride of being one of the elite. 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.560 And he spoke to that, like all the guys that 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:11.000 made it really have had a great season. But for me, 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:13.520 when we got the list, I couldn't help when I 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.039 didn't see that DeMarcus Lawrence was on that list. 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.280 I was shocked. I was shocked. 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:20.720 I mean in the names that they have on there, 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:24.000 and there's some really great players in this league. But man, look, 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:30.040 DeMarcus Lawrence is playing like he's still in signals. He 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.520 is playing like either that or he's staying up all 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:34.760 night studying the playbook, and I know it's the latter, 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.280 but just the way that he's playing, the way that 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.240 he's moving, I don't know if I've seen a guy 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:42.040 at this point in his career be able to still 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.400 be as effective as DeMarcus Lawrence is. So that's the 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.599 only name that I'm I'm really kind of shocked. Other 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:48.839 than that, man, I'm hey, everybody's deserved. 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:51.039 I'm with you on that, you know, coach everything he 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.080 said when it comes to d Law being, you know, 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.920 not being a part of the Pro Bowl situation, when 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:58.240 when you look at it, but when I think about 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:00.640 it also, I'm like, who would you take off, you know, 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.160 to put d Law on there? Like Louis said, I mean, 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.360 it's just talent across the board out there. But when 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:08.160 you talk about who's made the biggest impact on this team, 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:10.720 especially these last couple of weeks, it's been to Marcus Lawns, 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.039 whether it's his you know, run stopping ability, you know, 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.640 whatever the case may be, making plays, batting the ball down, 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.120 whatever case may be. He's been the heart and soul 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.480 for this defense the past couple of weeks. And if 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:23.000 it's play you know, continues to you know, rise like that, 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:24.920 then this defense has no choice. 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:25.560 But to follow as well. 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.920 So he's having a heck of a year so far. 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.760 Yeah, listen, I think it's the sacks. I think it's 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:32.240 the sack thing. 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:35.600 Right, So we see how impactful you especially when because 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:38.039 we're here and we understand like the run defense and 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:39.520 how important it is for us to be able to 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:41.680 get that fix. And then we see his impact on 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:43.880 the run defense. And you look at Michael Parsons as 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.200 the guy who's getting the sacks and causing the one 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:48.280 on ones because he's getting double teams and all that stuff. 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:49.839 And I think when you look around the league at 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:51.680 the guys who are on the list, you say, okay. 0:06:53.320 --> 0:07:00.799 Hello to getting sacks. 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.360 But I think I think for us, we all understand 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.360 the impact that the Marcus Lawrence has on here. So 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:07.479 you know, assume he'll probably be alternate at some point. 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:09.440 But the main goal is to not even have to 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.800 be able to play in the Pro Bowl because you're 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:13.840 trying to get to the Super Bowl. But we want 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.200 to give the Marcus Lawrence's flowers because he's having a 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:18.640 heck of a year with the Walter main Planet Man 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:23.080 of the Year nominee. And then also also, like you said, 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:26.520 as far as being impactful, especially for the last few 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:29.240 weeks on this on this roster, what you see out 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.200 of him is different than what you see out of 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:34.400 everybody else, and that's including everybody on the defense. It's 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.680 just it's a different level of play when you look 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.800 at it and you say, he's saying follow me, play 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:43.080 like me, and will be better. So shout out the 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:47.320 d law But yeah, Bosa monteset Aiden Hutchinson, I mean, you. 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:49.800 Can't be mad. I'm not mad at the list. 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:52.120 I'm just saying that just the impact that he's been 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:54.760 having on our defense. We're going to talk about Mike 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:56.800 cut but everybody else and you expect from people in 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.120 the league to watch the tape and to see, actually, 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.160 who's the guy that doing the dirty work and getting 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.280 it done, and that's Tank Hutcherson made the list off 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.640 of that last game had to be. He had a 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:11.760 good that last game. Now they still got Michael as 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:17.720 a linebacker, somebody else. 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:20.280 On the edge. 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:23.120 So I mean you would essentially, and you know, in 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:26.400 the ideal world, because we do, we consider Michael linebacker 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.800 or he's part of the So then you would have 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.800 to put him, uh, you know, either Bolster, Sweat or 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:36.160 Hutchinson and then put another linebacker on there. So it's 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:37.760 a tricky list, but they find a way to fit, 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:40.040 you know, fit fit guys on there. And that's yeah, 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:41.920 I mean, that's that's a good list. This is a 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.400 this is a really good list. So yeah, shout out 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.240 to congratulations all the people to make the Pro Bowl. 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:49.720 Josh all he makes pro Bo. 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:57.480 M v P. The Holy They not Bro, you can't 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:00.680 come on now, everybody. 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:02.920 I bring that up just because when we're talking about 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.760 just just names generally, you know, for the season, you know, 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:08.960 you'd have thought that Josh Allen and Justin Herbert would 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:10.520 have been on the pro Bo and it didn't happen. 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:11.480 It didn't happen. 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:16.319 The guys that played most of the season, shutt Danny 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:18.880 Downs was probably should have been most of prove comeback 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:26.360 Flooding righted. 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:31.800 My pro bo pix was yeah. 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:38.880 But and once again, the ability for the Cowboys to 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:42.000 draft and develop, I think that has to be spoken 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:46.880 about again because but how many homegrown guys you've got 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:51.959 Dak Prescott, Ceedee Lamb, Zach Martin, Michael Parsons, Deron Blaine 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:55.360 and these are your guys who were here. And while 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:58.800 they didn't draft Brandon Army the kicker, they went out 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:02.560 and found him after a disastrous end of the Brent 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:06.280 Maher era, to go out and get that correct. And 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:08.680 they made the cuts early in camp and decided we're 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.720 gonna go with them. And I'm out there in Knox, Darling, 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:14.120 this is what you're gonna do. And they've been right. 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:17.080 And for the second year in a row there they've 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:20.439 got Pro bowlers out here at special teams in the 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.680 area that you have to be good at and try 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.439 to win that. So congratulates Brandon Arbery and Brian Ainger. 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:29.680 I just I look at that that theory of how 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.559 we built our roster, and we know how it's changed 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:34.760 over the years in the NFL by people going out 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.800 and getting free agency and so many teams like that. 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:40.480 I remember for a couple of years of Rams. Everybody's like, man, 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:42.400 the Rams are selling out to win the Super Bowl. 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:45.440 That's the way you get it done, Howie Roseman And 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:48.120 for Philadelphia, everybody was been patting them on the back, 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:51.160 applaud them for the job. So, I mean, whatever rhyme 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.960 or reason you have, I think Dallas Cowboys have been 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:57.720 with the we're gonna bring we're gonna draft well, and 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:01.040 we're gonna groom these and develop well. That's voted, that's 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:04.480 bolted well for them also, so that's a credit to 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.200 Will McLay. That's that is a credit mostly. I mean 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:08.960 those two teams you name, they sold out, they win. 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:12.480 Got no, no, no, I'm saying the reason to get it. 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:14.440 I mean, how do you do Do you go out 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:16.680 and you pay these guys or do you draft well 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:18.760 and you think you have these guys alone for the 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:21.199 years to come. And that's where the Cowboys are. If 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:24.679 you look at man, the contracts that they have coming up, 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:26.880 these are with guys that have been on your squad. 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.440 It's not free agent guys that you're talking about. So 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.720 that's what I mean about the RAMA reason. But also 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.240 having the numbers that they do. Yeah, I'm looking at 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:36.200 the Rams and I'm saying we all thought like, yeah, 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:38.120 they're gonna be out of it for the next few years. 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:39.760 And then you look at this team, know we don't 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:41.520 even want to play the guy. And I'm not making funny. 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:43.600 I'm just saying it's a good football team. It's better. 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.079 They're better than who they were when we played them. 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:48.559 They have a running game. Now, they're protecting the ball. 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.720 They do have Pookah and Matthew Stafford healthy and Cooper 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:53.960 Cup so they're a different squad. But when you looked 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.720 at them giving all those first round picks away and 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.000 spending all the money to get Jalen Ramsey and Mom 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.840 Mill all these was like, man, next ten years, they 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:04.360 probably not going to be competitive at all, and. 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:08.160 They about to retire right here on the way out. 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:09.880 And you look at it now, you say, man, this 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:11.680 is one of those scary teams that you might not 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:13.160 want to play when you get to the playoffs. 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:17.040 They've got an organization and that's that's to me. You 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:20.280 can pat Riley's book Showtime Inside the Lakers Breakthrough season. 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:21.920 He talked one year about how in eighty five said 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.640 we won a championship but weren't a championship organization. And 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:26.360 when I look at what they're doing with the Rams, 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.000 you start to say, Okay, this is a championship organization. 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:32.720 When you can go win, go win the title, have 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:34.400 to break it down and let some good guys go, 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:38.719 but still be able to draft, develop and coach these guys. 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:40.880 And I had there's no way in the world I 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:42.719 thought this was a playoff. There's two teams that have 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.640 made going to make the playoffs. Well one if they win, 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:47.959 they'll make it all Sunday Houston and the Rams. You 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:49.640 couldn't have told me before the season these guys are 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:52.079 gonna get make this thake. Absolutely did not think they 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:55.640 had the talent to do it. And uh two great 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:58.640 coaching jobs. I would give tomko Ryans Coach of the Year, 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.840 but vote for what he's done is Sean McVay. What 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:04.400 Sean McVay has done this year. 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:07.440 That's a tough it's a tough worker Cleveland too, because 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:11.560 Stefan at the beginning of the year, we all sitting 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.400 here like, wait, that's your offense to your. 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:18.960 Fourth quarterback, John Harball, you had your your quarterback said 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:23.120 us trade me. I'm done with you guys, And you 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:26.640 had to as a head coach, manage your knowing this 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.520 offense don't work without this guy. I mean, we tailored 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:31.760 it all around him so that they went out and 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.640 they got a new coordinator and Monkin and here they 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:36.360 are the best record in the league. He's about to 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.400 win another MVP. How do we judge that as a coach? 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:40.080 Who do you? 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:43.160 I mean, who was better suited for that situation? Who 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.000 is better suited for that situation in Baltimore than Harball 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:48.080 the way that he is as a coach to be 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:50.720 able to handle Lamar Jackson from the aspect of him 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:54.120 being just grown up about his contract and then bringing 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:57.400 in the offensive coordinator that finally understands how to use 0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:58.280 Lamar Jackson. 0:13:58.600 --> 0:13:59.600 And they're the. 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.080 One team that I look at I'm stare a scary team. 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.000 We don't talk about them, but I'm telling you that's 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:06.840 Boogeyman to me because they have a thousand yard rush, one. 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:08.000 Thousand yard received. 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.440 We don't really know anybody on their defense, but we 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:11.880 just know that they're real good. 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:13.520 That's what we do know. 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:17.120 And so all of those teams going down to the Clevelands, 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.840 but especially Houston, when you talk about them as a 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:23.200 team like that is the biggest surprise to me. But 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:26.920 the Rams have it's all coaching. It has to be 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:30.600 the system that they run, and also the quarterback that 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:34.400 they have. We can't Stafford goes in two buckets. Either 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:36.240 you love him or you hate him. But the things 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:39.400 that he does well, the way that he operates mcveigh's offense, 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:42.200 that's what makes them so good and explosive within a 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:44.800 cool a cup. Man, this is just a great offense. 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:48.320 And don't forget Houston has lost They have lost Nico 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:50.560 for a minute. Tank Dell's out for the season, they 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.400 lost their quarterback for a while with concussion, and they 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:54.920 still are battling for a playoffs. 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:56.640 By think about the names you just named. 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.080 Who's really talking about those before this season? 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.480 Nobody you wouldn't have going into the season. 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:05.480 Man, they got a receiving quarter that could be, you know, 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:08.320 top two, top three in the International Football League. Man, 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:10.400 you add that guy Stroud in there, and what what 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:11.720 do Mico is doing to that defense? 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:15.480 Was out? He's done a. 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:18.600 Remarkable jobational job said, I didn't see it, and I 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:20.800 give him all the credit the world for I mean, 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.800 while we joke about it, but it's the truth. This 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:27.240 third straight coach they've gone through, guess the third Negros 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:30.800 the magic time higher. But dog got it done and 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.320 Tomko is incredible role time. 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:36.720 He had to figure out where to get it in 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:40.520 after he did it. 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:43.240 A good thing happened yesterday for Alabama. The center hit 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:47.000 the transfer let it next saying, no hit the portal. 0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:52.480 All the terrible snaps. Quarterback put the link on him 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:54.720 and see you. 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:56.000 You know, they had to meet with him saying, man, 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:59.680 I'm telling you you might want to hit that. You 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:02.280 might want to put your paperwork in, so we're not 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:03.320 dealing with this again. 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:04.720 Called on. 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:08.840 He ain't hard to find. 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:13.760 Called snappings. 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.840 It's funny because when you read it online, Oh he's 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:20.840 entered the transfer pot guy. 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:23.880 He was told before. 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:31.880 Making it back to campus he probably couldn't get back 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:34.320 on campus. That's why he left to get his stuff. 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:37.320 Went crazy to get his stuff. But that's when I mean, 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:38.320 I laugh all the time. 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:41.040 And I see some of this stuff and it's one 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:43.480 one school locally. This kid put out. I just want 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:45.840 to let her know I'm entering the transfer portal. Thank 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:47.960 you for my time here, but I'm moving. I'm like 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:50.800 I made a phone call like, oh yeah, yeah that 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:52.400 new position coach said he ain't it. 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:53.880 That's what happened. 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:55.800 So he jumped on and you know they let him 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:57.720 do it. But you know on social media like like 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:01.840 it was his decision and he's moving on. They changed coaches, 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:04.919 They looked at you and just transfer no, thank you. 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:07.400 That was around one hour. I'm telling you thirty years 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:09.480 too late. How many years you would have stayed that. 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:11.520 I would have been going after my friend. 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:14.320 Yeah, I had been about the man. That's why you 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:18.679 don't want to play his due. Nothing. 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:21.199 I'm just saying about why you. 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:26.200 Know, you know you're gonna answer you honestly, I would. 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:29.640 I would have slid onto you.
