They just completed a stretch of three games 32 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: in twelve days. You know a little something about that 33 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: three game stretch in that twelve day period there, Joe. 34 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: For this team, Now, how do they turn their focus 35 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: toward Indie? And what's something that we're not talking about 36 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: right now for the Cowboys that we need to be 37 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: talking about going into this game on Sunday Night. Well, 38 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: I think one thing, you know, having having the you know, 39 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: the games in twelve days. As a player, you need 40 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: to be taking care of your body. Yeah, you know, 41 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: you gotta be in the cold tub, you gotta be 42 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: doing the things in the training room to take care 43 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: of your body. And I just think, you know, and 44 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: I know the coaches are doing it. You know, in 45 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: these meeting rooms. One thing you're gonna be hearing as 46 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 1: a player is you gotta win in November and December. Yeah, 47 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: you know it is. It is a must, you know, 48 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: because this is this is where you set yourself up 49 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 1: to not just survive in the playoffs, but thrive as 50 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: you go through it, because you want to be playing 51 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: your best football when you get there. So those coaches 52 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: are definitely harping on, hey, we gotta play our best 53 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: ball in November and December, Nate. Every game comes with 54 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: its pressure, and obviously each of these games means so 55 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: much because there's so few of them. But when the 56 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: calendar turns to December, is there a little extra that 57 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: begins to ratchet it up? No, Wing, especially when you're 58 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: a team prying for a playoff run, that the intensity 59 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: starts to grow. What does that mindset start to look 60 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: like when you turn the calendar to December? You know, 61 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: when we started winning, When you start winning d summer 62 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: means something different, especially if you were in a race 63 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: and and and you know, I used to not look 64 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: at the calendar, but I would see where we was 65 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: and within our division, and where we stacked up and 66 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: against other divisions. So when I went into any game 67 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: and I needed some motivation to play against the team 68 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: that is struggling like this team here, that was my 69 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: motivation because we wanted home field advantage right, and we 70 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: had to play uh mistake free football. We had to 71 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: get basic. And what I mean by that is I 72 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: ain't saying not add a wrinkle or two here, but 73 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: we knew who he was and we played to the 74 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: strength and then we give you a little wrinkles here 75 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: and there to keep it to keep you honest. But 76 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: you got to know who you are. Now it's roll. 77 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: And I mean looking at the Cowboys. I mean, you know, 78 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: we all see this, this Zeke Tony polar debate. But 79 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: I mean, what a great problem to have being able 80 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: to run the ball in the NFL. I mean controlling 81 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: the game. You're controlling the line of scrimmage. I mean 82 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: just setting the tone. And when you start doing that 83 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: in these you know, because everybody's hurting right now. Everybody's 84 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: bodies banged up. You know, you're you're playing through injuries. 85 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: And when you can control the line of scrimmage with 86 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 1: the offense and defensive lines the way they're doing it, 87 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 1: playing physical at this prime time to win football games, 88 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: that's right. And then you've been around many a team 89 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: since nineteen ninety nine. I think about the O seventeen, 90 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: the fourteen team, the sixteen team. What's the difference when 91 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: you see teams like that knowing that they're ready for 92 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: a playoff run, and what that mindset looks like and 93 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: how you have observed it throughout the course of your career. Well, 94 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: I mean obviously since I've been here. Like you said, 95 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: I mean, those teams had a lot of hope going 96 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: into the playoffs and it didn't it didn't work out. Um, 97 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: you know, one thing about kind of to go over 98 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: you know what you're talking about about this time of 99 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: year and kind of what what Nate said, it's it's 100 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: also the division you play in. Yeah, you know you 101 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: play that. You know, it doesn't matter what the records 102 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: look like. If you played the Giants and the Eagles 103 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: and Washington on the road in December it's gonna be cold. 104 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: You're gonna have to it's gonna be the toughest team 105 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: is gonna probably win those games. Not only physically tough, 106 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: mentally tough. You gotta be able. Okay, so you're in 107 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: the Middlelands and it's twenty five you know mile an 108 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: hour win, figure it out. Figure out. But but I'm 109 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: just saying, I mean, that's that's what is because I'll 110 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,239 Speaker 1: promise you this Tennessee on the twenty eighth or twenty 111 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: ninth of December, with that water, you know, if the 112 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: wind coming off that that's gonna be freezing cold. Yeah, 113 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: and they they're gonna have to f and Tennessee is 114 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: a tough, you know minded team that the coach they 115 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: played to their coach. So I'm not trying to jump ahead, 116 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: but ever the saying, you get into this type of 117 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: season and games that they're gonna have to play on 118 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: the road, it's gonna be it's gonna be physically and 119 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: mentally tough. Oh completely, now let me, I'm just gonna 120 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: have you got it. So, you know, there's there's this 121 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: unspoken rule as an offensive lineman. You know you're playing 122 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: in the cold weather, you can't wear sleeves. Let me 123 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: tell you. We used to laugh.

Yeah, 134 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 1: now you know that they wear those iverson sleeves look cool, 135 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: but they're really just covered up by a yeas risk 136 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 1: being all that.

Go back 172 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: and look, man, we because we were prepared. We we 173 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: were like, won one year. I have to make back 174 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: to back Super Bowls. The Giants the Cowboys watch shot 175 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, so we we It works. It works, man, 176 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: When you can dominate like that, it works. It makes 177 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: everybody good. I will say this, though, I don't believe 178 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 1: that it's it's gonna hold up that way because the 179 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: Giants have only played the Cowboys in the NFC's They 180 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: have not played Washington, they have not played Philly. If 181 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: it does hold up like this, what means they're kind 182 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 1: of beating each other. I think the Cowboys will win 183 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: the East if that happens, because I think the Eagles 184 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: it's for the Giants to stay in it. They're gonna 185 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: have to beat the Eagles. Yeah, maybe once or twice. 186 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: If that happened and the Cowboys can beat the Eagles, 187 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys can catch it Philadelphia, but it's 188 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: gonna take some help like that then, kind of beating 189 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: each other up. Have you seen anything like this, Nick 190 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: like that, all four teams competing this way. It's so 191 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: impressive that the Cowboys and the Eagles are up there 192 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: like that because they're playing good teams down there, especially 193 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: the Cowboys because they played them all just thought, how 194 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: just think now just four months ago we are all laughing. 195 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 1: Cowboys gonna win this straight out. Everybody else saw we 196 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: heard Thett Grumlin is about and I hate to say this, 197 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: but Vegas said the Eagles had it. Yeah, they ain't 198 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 1: let that Vegas down. I'm like, come on, man, And 199 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: so I'm excited because when you play good teams and 200 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: you can beat them, and that's what just to be 201 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: good team, we have to beat some of these teams, 202 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: not these three guys that we should be because things 203 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 1: can happen. Yeah, but when we played Philadelphia again, it's 204 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: got to be it's we got to come with it. Yeah, 205 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: we got to show people that we're ready for the playoffs. 206 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: And before we go, I want to ask Yo this 207 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: because you mentioned a little bit earlier about you have 208 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: to take every team seriously. But we've seen the struggles 209 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: of Indianapolis so far this year. How do you, as 210 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: a player guard against blocking out that outside noise? All 211 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: Indianapolis ain't nothing, ain't got nothing to worry about. How 212 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: do you as a player focus on the business at 213 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: hand and sure that none of that distractions coming in 214 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: right against an opponent like this. I definitely think it 215 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: goes along with your preparation. You know. Obviously you got 216 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: you got the little man on your shoulder talking to 217 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: you all. You know, they're going through this, they got 218 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: a new head coach. We're not gonna come in there 219 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: and play football, but they block out that noise, you know, 220 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: and that's that's your job as a professional athlete. And 221 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: you prepare. Hey, you know, I always told Hey, you 222 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: prepare like you're playing the super Bowl, and you'll be good. 223 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: You'll be all right, Nick. This game kind of reminds 224 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: me last year when the Denver Broncos came to town. No, no, 225 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 1: no, no no, no. My point is it felt like this 226 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: team didn't necessarily take them as seriously as they should have. 227 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: And Denver walked in out physical this team and really 228 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: beat them up. I'm not saying the Indianapolis is necessarily 229 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: the cable of doing that, But how do you guard 230 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,719 Speaker 1: how would you advise about guarding against having that kind 231 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: of a letdown. I guess it opponent that you should 232 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: be able to handle bit us against on Sunday night. Obviously, 233 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: you know and I these two guys have done it 234 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: for years, so you know they know more than me. 235 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: But I've I've always kind of been told games are 236 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: one on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I mean that's where 237 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: they're woperation, you know, because everybody ad them the Colts 238 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: team is going to bring it on Sunday night with 239 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,719 Speaker 1: the lights on them. They're gonna do the best they can. 240 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: Go to every rec center at ten am on Saturday morning. 241 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: Guys are playing hard just because they're guys. They want 242 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: to compete. But are they doing what they've got to 243 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: do on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, staying at watching film and 244 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: all that stuff. Because sometimes when people say they check out, 245 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: they don't check out on Sunday. You check out her 246 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: in the middle of the week. And I'm not saying 247 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: the Colts have done that. I don't. I doubt that 248 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: they're doing that, But I'm just saying it's the Cowboys. 249 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: They gotta they gotta make sure they're doing everything they can. 250 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: And Digs is looking at Pittman every time they're looking 251 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: at Jonathan Taylor. They're looking at these guys and don't 252 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: take them lightly. Yeah, Nick, amen, And you know, you've 253 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 1: seen a lot of football in your day, and I've 254 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: been on teams that have you know, struggled, we could say, 255 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: but you're still playing for something. You know, You're still 256 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: playing for that name on the back of your jersey. 257 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 1: And hey, at the end of the day, we are 258 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: in a business. So guys want to put good film 259 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: out there. That is that is their calling card, you know, 260 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 1: that is that is there, That's what the that's what 261 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: you lay your hat on. So you're always gonna go 262 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: out there and try to play good football. Now, the 263 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: Colts playing for a logo, I mean, last I saw that, 264 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,719 Speaker 1: it was like any logo, what's going on there? He 265 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: take the logos off? Old school? Yeah, old school. They 266 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 1: got Clinton, they got Kelly, they got Fries or Freeze 267 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: or whatever. I'm gonna tell y'all something. Man. Looking at 268 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 1: that film, I tried to find something bad. These guys 269 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 1: are missing a quarterback. Man, you gotta think three years 270 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: ago when they were rolling. It's basically these same guys. 271 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: The farest b Butler is no joke. He'll get in 272 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: your middle, bro, and he'll hurt you. I'm telling they 273 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: got young linebackers, and the only problem they have now 274 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: is they run well, but they'll missus tackler to an 275 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,439 Speaker 1: open field. But if they know where they're going, they 276 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 1: stick like glue. So and then they got a veteran 277 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: they got from the Pats Gilmore's these got. I just 278 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: don't want to give them a chance like we gave 279 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: New York. I just don't want to give them a 280 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: chance because they're running back with that offensive line no 281 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: three beasts in the middle of the garden and the 282 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: two guards, and they hurt you, man, they can hurt you. 283 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fun game to watch. I think 284 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: the Cowboys have a golden opportunity. We talked about cleaning 285 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: up some of the penalties that we saw against New York. 286 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 1: You have a chance against a team where you should 287 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 1: be able to handle business to clean up those mistakes 288 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: and put, as you talked about, good film out there 289 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: to continue to build that confidence for that stretch run. 290 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: Because this team has got a lot of aspirations, and 291 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: I think a lot of the ways that we have 292 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: to start talking about the team is viewing them through 293 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: the lens of how are they going to look against 294 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: Super Bowl possible teams in terms of the Eagles, the 295 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, the Cancer Chiefs. Are we looking at this 296 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: team in that category? In games like this, Joe, I 297 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: think have an opportunity for them to prove in some 298 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: of that going into Sunday night. Oh yeah, no question. 299 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: It's definitely one of those games where you look at 300 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: and Sunday night football, whole league is watching. Yeah, you know, hey, 301 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: you want to put good film out there and let 302 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: the league know, Hey, we are here, We are playing 303 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: tough football.

Yeah, 355 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's it's unfathomable. You know, it's 356 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 1: it's it's almost talking about you know, how far were 357 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: you know, the first galaxy is. You know, it's thirteen point. 358 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: You know, it's absolutely insane to watch what he's doing 359 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: because you know, the NFL, I mean, it's the highest level. 360 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,719 Speaker 1: It's so hard to do that in the league. But 361 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,439 Speaker 1: it's a testament too to the guys around him, you know, 362 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 1: because each time you know, and I know the mindset 363 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 1: of these defensive linemen. Hey, when you get an opportunity 364 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 1: to rush, man, you gotta rush like your life depends 365 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 1: on it. So you know, you get out there, man, 366 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: you know, you start wearing a guy down. I mean, 367 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: then you know it's like it's like Jaws and start 368 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 1: blood in the water, man, you know. And but I mean, 369 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 1: you people can't block the guy. Yeah, and I can't 370 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: block him, man. You know what, as a coach, you're like, man, yeah, 371 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: I'm glad that guy's on my team. That's right. Thank 372 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 1: god we got him, That's right. They any more superlatives 373 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 1: that you could have signed to Michael Parsons of what 374 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: he has done with this team so far through his career. 375 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: You know, I just laugh because a young picture. You know, 376 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: you finally get a book on him at about three 377 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 1: or four, you know, if you go through it one 378 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 1: or two times. But as long as I love it, 379 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: this dude's the coach. They ain't seen him yet. They 380 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: may think on film that, but when they see him, 381 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: they were like, wow, after they picked their quarterback. I'm like, yeah, 382 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 1: he is that fat? Yeah, sorry, dude, he's good. That's 383 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: a new kind of speed, bro, when when you used 384 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: to seeing that? Yeah, that hurts Nick. I'm sure dan 385 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: Quinn could have used the Michael Parsons in the Super 386 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: Bowl a few years ago as he was helping Matt 387 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 1: Ryan try to beat Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. 388 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: He now gets to see his former quarterback on Sunday 389 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: Night Football. How does dan Quinn help his young Lion 390 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: get after his former former quarterback puts on the tape 391 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 1: of last year's game against the Falcons when they beat 392 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: him forty three to three. Yeah, yeah, he got after 393 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: him then. And that was the game after Denver when 394 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: it was went so bad, so they definitely got after him. 395 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 1: You know, you said about Michael Parsons, you said baseball reference. 396 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: I look at it kind of also in a basketball 397 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: reference of like when Michael Jordan and I'm okay, I'm 398 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: okay putting Parsons right now in that category. Michael Jordan 399 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: was a great young player, and then he faced the 400 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: Pistons who took shots at him all the time. They 401 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: going and that's what's happened with Michael. They're going low. 402 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: You know, he talks about it all the time. He's 403 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 1: a target. So now he has to kind of figure 404 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 1: that out. Everybody's trying to chop block him and and 405 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: you know, with hands to the face and all that. 406 00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: He has to deal with that all the time double 407 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: for teams. So it's the mental part of that he's 408 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: got to get over that. I think he does it. 409 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 1: I think I say he plays he's okay when he plays. 410 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: When he's frustrated. He's really good when he's mad, when 411 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: he's a lion. He's an angry lion. Not good, not 412 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: good at all. He's the lion kid. And when he 413 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: gets when he gets pissed off. Yeah, say it again. 414 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: We were talking before we came back on. You know, 415 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,360 Speaker 1: if you're Mike, you can call yourself whatever you want. Yeah. 416 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: If I'm the head coach and call yourself whatever you want, 417 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: you just keep getting's keep getting sacked.

Your thoughts quickly on the idea of 454 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. Now with his tour scheduled official, what 455 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: that could look like and mean for the caboy. You know, 456 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: I think I should defer to Nick because he had 457 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: a better thought process than me. So what do you think? 458 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: That was real smooth? Name? That was real smooth. Everybody 459 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 1: get up a name for that train that was That 460 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: was beautiful? That was good, you know, just the way 461 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: you said that about the tour. I mean, I feel 462 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: like there's gonna be a T shirt with like the 463 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: dates on the back coming to a city. That's right, 464 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: That's right. I mean, I think this is this is 465 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 1: a Jerry type move and and you know he I 466 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: think he could really help him if the knee is 467 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: ready to go and the money works and all that. 468 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: But I'll say this. I've said it a hundred times. 469 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: It's gonna start the decision making process for other players. 470 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: UM see these agents like, Okay, whatever you're paying him, 471 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: this is the floor for us because we're younger, more 472 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: accomplished receiver right now. Uh, and you know he's gonna 473 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: make more than that Tony Pollard And you know you 474 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: have to decide all this stuff. Digs are like, hello, 475 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: I need to be the best corner in the league, 476 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: highest paid, and then that beast that's sitting out there 477 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: and Mike Parsons. You don't have to do it right now, 478 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: but you know, and so it's just tough to handle 479 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: under the cap. But it doesn't work if the knee. 480 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: You know, it's all about the knee. Can Odell be Odell? 481 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: If Odell is the OBJ that we've seen, that guy 482 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: can help this team because he lines up there on 483 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: third and four in the game on the line, and 484 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: they have to respect him because he is a bad 485 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 1: ball catcher. He can make plays, but he's got to 486 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: be the OBJ and only and not going to know 487 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: that until he gets to the building and the doctors 488 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: see the knee and all that kind of stuff, right right, 489 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: And I definitely agree with. You know, it's got to 490 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: be the right situation. It's got to be the right situation. 491 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: And it's it's I think it's it's it's great to watch, 492 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 1: you know, it's like it's drama.

They run the football and they put the 586 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: pressure on the Colts. The Colts don't not or a 587 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 1: lot of points that it's tougher for the teams. So 588 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 1: they got to just do what they do, do what 589 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 1: they do, throw the ball around. Dak needs to do 590 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 1: a thing. Cut down on the Palmies, scoring the red 591 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: zone and keep putting that twenty five thirty thirty five points. 592 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: Colts cannot keep up with that thirty sex how they 593 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 1: get it done on Sunday?
