See Geek the 0:00:03.800 --> 0:00:07.480 official ticketing partner of the Washington Commanders that spoon. I'm 0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:08.440 jinks you doing, man? 0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:09.760 Good brother? How about yourself? 0:00:09.800 --> 0:00:10.319 And I'm doing it. 0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:13.760 We're working today. I work, work, work, work, work. Ain't 0:00:13.760 --> 0:00:16.000 nothing wrong with that, man. And we were talking about 0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:17.960 this All Star game man, because I'm torn. 0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:19.319 You wanna go ahead, just get into it? 0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:22.000 Why not? Man, gotta do it because it's some damn 0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:26.520 miss Okay, Let's be honest. I come from the generation 0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:34.000 of Mike L. Joy Okay versus Dominique in the slam 0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:39.000 dunk contests, dunk after dunk after dunk, coming at each other, 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:48.040 the brown Bits, Carder hell Dwight Howard, who's a fool 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:51.120 by the way, Yes, I come from but he could 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:55.320 dunked because I believe when did the one percent alpha 0:00:55.440 --> 0:01:00.680 athletic mail stop loving to compete? We get that happen 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:02.920 Jinx and I have to blame it on one man. 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:07.280 And I love Lebron like I wonder the people. I 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:09.320 think you're can have two goats in New York three 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.160 four five goats with is I think Lebron is just 0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:15.319 much the goat. It's Michael Jordan. I do think that. 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:19.520 But when Lebron James came into the league and they 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:21.640 begged him to be in the dunk Slam Dunk contest 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:26.440 and he refused to do it. Ever, right, all the 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.160 rest of the Stars followed him. That's right, and none 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:33.440 of them got into the slam dunk contests after that. Ever, 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:37.520 the three point contests, it still brings the stars out, Yes, 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:41.160 but why are they scared of the dunk contests? Do 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:43.840 you think a bad dunk with ruin your career, how 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:47.080 we feel about you? At what point does the AffA 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:49.640 athlete stop being after. 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:51.720 Well, you know, it's a good question, and I don't 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:53.840 know why I have a theory or too. Number one 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:57.000 is these dudes are all friends now, which is fine. 0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:00.880 They all hang out on a banana boat and which 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:01.360 is okay. 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:03.880 But back in the day and I'm you know, I'm 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:04.720 kind of an old head. 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:08.520 But Jordan hated everybody. Yeah, Bird and Magic didn't like 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:12.000 each other. Yeah, Magic and Isaiah Thomas had a riff 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.520 for a long time. Yeah, these dudes did not chill 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:17.160 out together in the offseason, never wanted. It was cut 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.640 throat and when Jordan and Nieck would go at it 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:21.040 in a slam dunk contest. 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:24.000 I mean it was like, what can you do? This 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:24.920 is what I'm gonna do it? 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:25.160 Better? 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:25.760 Do it better. 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:27.800 It was just back and forth and it was thrilling. 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.440 Of course the dunks were great, but it was these 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:33.440 are two of the best in the game trying to 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:35.800 come at one another. And that added a layer where 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:37.440 all right, Mac McClung, that's great. 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:40.400 Who's coming after Mac mcluck. He plays in the G League. 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:42.919 I'm about to say, Jenks. At the end of the day, 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:46.040 the best dunker in the world is a G League 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:49.880 basket club, right, if you're in the NBA. If I'm 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.640 a player right now, I gotta be sitting on their 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:56.000 roster saying I cannot do the G League player, right. 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:59.480 You can't because you're scared of the stage. He's not. 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.320 He's not scared of the stage, and you are. I 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:07.280 can't believe the best dunker in the world is not 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:08.400 even in the NBA. 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:09.959 And you know what, if you lose to him, there's 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:13.680 no shame in that. And it's alright, it's a dunk contest. 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:15.919 Hey, Jalen Brown just lost to him. 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.760 Yes, yes, do you think any less of him? 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:22.400 I don't because he just got paid two hundred plus million. 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.640 I don't think. I don't care. Matter of fact, applaud Jalen. 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:30.440 Thank you for standing up doing what NBA players should do. 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:34.200 I have seen guys play harder in a pickup game 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:35.000 at U C l A. 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:36.520 I believe it. 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.840 Then they take more pride in a pickup game than 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:46.000 they do the NBA All Star Game four hundred. I 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.040 ain't think there was many that much time on o'clock, 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:56.320 no defense, shot a shot shot. It's just let's just ended. 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:59.400 How about we bring the NBA the NFL players, let 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:00.960 them in the duck country? 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:02.480 Is that the solution? Honestly? 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:05.440 Where it's just some sort of because skills competition, because 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.760 sabrina versus stuff was it was the. 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.560 Best part of the weekend. And I have been saying 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:16.640 this my way to bring the w NBA to another 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:19.400 level is I want this to happen, Jens, tell me 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:23.000 what you think about this. I I feel when I 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:26.400 take my daughters and my sons to basketball games compared 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:30.080 to football games is very short. Yes, I remember in 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:33.360 high school we used to watch the girls play and 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.280 then we watched the boys play. How about if I 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:40.719 went to the Washington Wizards game and the Mystics played first, Oh, 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:44.080 and the Wizards played second, So I get to literally 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:47.880 be in here for six hours. Maybe? Yeah? And I 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:54.040 think that high school format will not only enrich the WNBA, 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:56.599 make them a lot popular, but get them on the 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.440 money train. Yeah. And I think you get more bang 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.320 for your bus up. The stadium makes more money, the 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.719 owners makes more money, everybody makes more money. Would you 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:09.400 go to a game and you got to watch the 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.120 w NBA play first then the NBA. 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.760 I think it would be great, But is it plausible right, 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.840 because then you have to you gotta switch courts. Why 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:21.120 I guess you don't just switch, but to have that 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.760 much basketball? Like what time do you start that game 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:25.039 so that people can go to both? 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:29.800 Now we're talking time restraints, Yes, we're talking that, But 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.200 I think a lot of people steal. If you're not 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.520 a Mystic fans, A lot of people get their time 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:37.960 right where they make it in just win the Wizards 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:41.960 of Rice. So I think you mesh both of these crowds. 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:45.040 But then there's also cost, right, you're getting double the game. 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:48.080 Now you have to pay more for an already expensive product. Right, 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.920 these ownership groups, especially if you own both teams, You're 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.240 not gonna charge the same for two teams on the 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:54.680 same court. 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:56.599 You're gonna be like, oh, then we're gonna double the prices. 0:05:56.640 --> 0:06:00.160 Then, well, because I'm giving you a double header. Hey, 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.080 all right, So if I'm giving you a doubleheader and 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:05.679 these teams need to share revenue, you was paying thirty 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:07.440 because I can't kick you out. It ain't like we 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:10.040 can flush the crowds out once you end your end. 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:12.480 And this the whole thing of it. So I think 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:14.320 I can go ticket in a half. I can charge 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.200 you a ticket in a half in two games or 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:17.120 people gonna pay for it. 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:19.599 Though going to a pro game is already pricey. 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:22.560 Yeah, it is in any sport, and I totally understand it. 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:26.000 But I just think you get more consumption, more bang 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.200 for your buck if it's two games. 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:31.160 I will say this, whatever the NBA does, they do 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:33.200 need to at the risk of sounding really oh, they 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:36.360 do need some sort of defense, some sort of balance, 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:39.480 because in the old days, it was these were games, they. 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:40.200 Were grinded out. 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:43.640 It was ninety two eighty four. Yeah, and I understand 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:45.560 why people want to see offense. I get that, but 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:48.440 now we've sort of tipped the scales in the other direction, 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:50.720 where routinely you'll see. 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:52.040 One forty two, one thirty. 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:53.920 At this All Star Game had a team score two 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:54.960 hundred points for the first time. 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:56.919 I think they need that healthy balance. 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:00.680 Ain't no healthy balance because it's, first of all, it's 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:02.719 an All Star game in the middle of the season. 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:07.760 It's only so much you can do. I think it's 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:11.080 getting to the point now where the game is just obsolete. Yeah, 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.480 I think it's it's all about the three point contests, 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:18.240 the skills Challenge, the slam dunk contest. I can't say 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:21.400 it's bad. I can't say it's good because I'm not 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.520 seeing the best athletes in it. Right, I'm not seeing 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:29.880 uh Like, I want to see Luca, Luca the done 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:31.760 And I hate to tell everybody I told you so. 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:34.160 I told everybody Luca won't be good before he got here. 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.080 Then nobody want to listen to no frenchmut but Luk Atlantister. 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.160 I want to see Luca in the three point contest. 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.440 I want to see all the best, right. I want 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:46.400 to see the highest flying dunkers in the game. I 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:49.920 want to see all of that and come up with 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:53.480 some kind of defensive challenge. If you don't, if you 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:56.480 don't put defense on the Froe front, you can't sell 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:59.400 it to people. I Dramond, when you say defense in 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.120 the NBA, it's one person coming to mind. Yeah, Draymond, 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:09.280 name somebody else that just defense is my thing. Drew Holliday. 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:10.520 Is very sure. 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:14.280 This is shy. Yeah. Yeah, like the list PG player 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:17.280 a little defense, yeah, but other than that, like they're 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.520 leaving it behind. It's like, if you want to get 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:21.320 paid in the NBA, now, you need to score thirty a. 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.200 Game simply as that we're gonna pay some bills. 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:28.000 We gotta talk some football man, some offseason football are 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:28.560 We're just. 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:31.000 So upset with this All Star game. The Pro Bowls 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.559 no better? Oh my god, the Pro Bowls no better. Like, 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:34.440 let's just be honest. 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.000 I couldn't watch a tug of war. I mean, I 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:40.240 get it, it gets fine, yeah, but but I understand 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:41.600 why they got rid of the Pro Bowl. 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:44.720 You know what I mean.

We're gonna take a trash bag, 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:28.120 trash bags, and then wherever we see litter, we see cans, 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:30.040 we're gonna pick those cans up and put them in 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:32.600 a bag and make money. Once we turn those cans in, 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.560 they'd be like, what the hell you're talking about? 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:38.640 These new kids, they won't do none of that. They not. 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:40.760 Somebody might see me and put me on I g 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:45.640 I'm picking up cans like we found glory in. 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:47.480 That there was it was, it was. 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:50.080 I can't believe that was just riding around my buddies 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:52.160 having some cans and I'm gonna get money for this. 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:54.719 Five since a can. That's not a lot of good 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.480 money right there. And now riding my bike with like 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:00.520 this big old gobments man with this can, like like 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:02.839 I got illuminum poison in on my back because I'm 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:06.439 carrying so many cans. The good old days, oh my god, 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.400 the good old days when people one scared to recycle 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:11.880 and recycle it was a part of life. 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:12.920 It was you just did it. 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:15.080 No, you just did it for money, like we did 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:16.040 what we had to do. 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:16.400 Yeah. 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:19.640 Yeah, We're a different generation, don't understand. Were the generation 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:23.240 that actually played defense, were the generation that loved the 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.760 Pro Bowl. We the generation that showed up at the 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.679 dunk contest flushed to come. Hold on people. We are 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.920 the generation that didn't have cell phones. We the generation 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:35.079 that our parents had to trust us to get home. 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.480 It's very true, to get home before that that light 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:41.200 come on. Like, we are the generation that had payphones, 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:46.520 house phones. You remember twilling the court? Oh yeah, do 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:49.160 you remember Carl Waiting when it first. 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.160 Hit and you thought it was the craziest thing ever? 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:56.719 Somebody think got too cold? Oh my god, sin. We 0:11:57.320 --> 0:12:01.720 are the generation that bridged the gap of none, tick 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:03.080 and tick. 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:04.079 That's very true. 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:07.800 We are the test subjects. By the time we made 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:11.120 the college cell phones, we would side kicking it to death. 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.720 We were like, we are the generation that they gonna 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.160 look back on and say, this is the generation that 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:21.120 bridged the gap. I guess we gen X, right, I think, yeah, 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:24.680 we are the generation that brought us from Captain Kirk 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:26.280 to Game of Thrones. 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:32.800 I remember, honestly when computers were like home computers, and 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:34.520 I would do a little bit of program out of 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:35.760 a nerd because I was like, what is this so 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.559 interesting to me? But I remember when you know, I 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:44.560 mean everybody remembers AOL America online there was a numbing shh. 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:49.839 There was also an online service called compu served, you remember, 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:53.680 so I remember getting the mail and listen. The internet 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:55.880 wasn't the thing going online wasn't think this is super 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:56.440 early stages. 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:58.800 So I remember looking at this. I was like, sports scores, 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:03.640 weather articles, what is this? 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:07.400 It looks but I couldn't fathom what it was because 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:09.680 nobody was online. The only people online with these people 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:13.760 are one percent of the population. So I was like, yes, 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:15.920 So I was like, this sounds amazing to me, but 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:18.040 I don't know what it is to do with I 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:19.840 don't know what it is. I don't know how to 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.400 get it. And of course now you wouldn't think about it. 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:24.960 But I remember bridging that gap between learning about it 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:25.760 and watch it happen. 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:29.320 What if I told you, with my higher learning education 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:36.040 at Missippi State that I created Twitter? Would you believe me? 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:38.720 I would not? All right, you shouldn't, but I'm gonna 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.920 tell you. He go the truth to me. I had 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:47.760 this way upsite in college, smooth smack dot com, where 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:51.400 I would get on here and talk trash to receivers, 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:57.040 teams and coaches, a platform created by me in one 0:13:57.040 --> 0:14:02.920 of my classmates. It blew up. My treads were set 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:07.000 up the same as Twitter. Well, we could go back 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.280 in forth, back in fourth back, and you had it. 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:14.280 I had it in the pup in my hands. Instead 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:16.760 of naming it smooth smack, I should have named it X. 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:22.000 I should have named it e LUNs must app listen. 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:25.280 I had it in the pump of my hands. Five 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:26.640 billion dollars. 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:29.640 Oh my god, you wouldn't know my biggest regret online. 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:33.080 Oh also my other biggest regret. I had a chance 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:40.520 to invest in vitamin water. Oh no, that he did 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:43.720 get rich to tried to die. That's all I know. 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:47.400 I know I had a chance to get in ground level. 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.040 Oh no, I was just so young, and they sent 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:53.680 me like boxes of vitamin water. I was like, this 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:57.800 is good and it's free. By the way, I ain't 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:03.400 gonna invest with you, no problem. Two minutes later we're billionaires. 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:09.240 What are you doing? I'm still playing ball? Oh my god? 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.000 So are you gonna be the second person to tell me? 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.720 Because Colin Cara was saying on his radio show Colin 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:19.760 that the Commanders, yeah, will win the NFC East in 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:23.400 the upcoming twenty twenty four season, based on what he 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:26.320 saw out of the Texans. Right, Yeah, they avenue head coach, 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:29.160 They get a studded quarterback in the draft, they get 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:31.360 better on defense, they have cap. 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:32.440 Space to bring guys in. 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:32.840 Yeah. 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:34.720 Can you see this realistically happening? 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:39.640 Yes? I can. Philadelphia as bad as we were last year. 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:42.560 We played them toe to toe. Yep. New York is 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:48.320 a mess. Travis sher Marckhery Dallas is the only hurdle. 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:53.160 We already beat them by subtraction. We stole they defensive 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:56.000 coordinator made him out head coach, our head coach. Now 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:59.000 in turns knows every weakness and strength of the Cowboys. 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.400 He knows who's good my offense. He's knows who good 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:03.680 on defense. He know how to attack Michael Parsons. He 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:06.880 knows everything. Then not only did we steer the defensive coordinator, 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:09.440 made him out head coach the other candidate, Joe, we 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:12.200 stole him too. Yep, they're going to take a step 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:16.120 back on defense with the already, I don't know we 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:19.680 can win the big game offense. It's a clear path 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:22.720 for us to get a quarterback, get the free agentc 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.000 we need, get to play here, get a player here, 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:28.360 plug and play and beat these guys. I think it's 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:31.560 no team in the NFC East that's unbeatable. It's no 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:35.440 perfect team in this team. I think Philadelphia brain trust 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.120 is gone because when they lost though to coordinators, they 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:41.600 went backwards. They got players, But coordinators mean a lot 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:44.240 to this game. So I think we can win this 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:44.840 by attrition. 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:45.640 We can win. 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:48.480 We can win this by subtracting from what the Cowboys 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:50.640 had last year. They will take a step back, and 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:53.480 us upgrading ourself at quarterback gives us a chance to 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:54.320 take a step forward. 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:57.320 How much does that help that you almost never see 0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:59.480 a repeat champion in this division. 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:04.520 It is always it refreshes the palette. Yes, you know, 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.560 we got a chance, like you just know, and you 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:09.560 know if you didn't win it last year, you got 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:12.480 a chance. Like that's the good thing about it right here. 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:15.760 And let me ask you this. That played well this year. 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:20.040 He did Ceedee Lamb played well. But they can't run 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:23.159 the ball and they can't stop him the run. And 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:25.000 we know this. And if you can't run the ball, 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:26.959 you can't stop the run. You can't win a playoff game. 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.600 And now they're in their heads. They have a real 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:30.800 mental hurdle together. 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:32.960 Thank you, And they got they got they got to 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:34.280 figure out what they're gonna have to do in the 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:37.359 cap too, like they're not as cap friendly as the 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:40.320 rest of us. So I do see a way for 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:43.720 us to not only win this division, but to be competitive. 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:45.640 I can see that happening. 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.840 When you look at Dan Quinn as a head coach. 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:51.800 Yeah, and the fact that he brings in Joe wett 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:54.919 So and those guys having worked together, does that also 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:57.000 give a team a leg up because you're not just 0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:59.480 bringing in guys that you know based on their reputations. 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:01.200 And of course these guys know each other, but having 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:03.640 worked so closely together, I would think that means. 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:06.280 You just pick up and run like it's no and 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:09.760 Coach Queen don't have to sick and gets him right, 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.199 I trust you, Like, let me go over here with 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:15.399 the offit, because I trust him that much that he 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.080 knows what I like. You know when I like it, 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:21.399 know he know what style of defense I want to play, 0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:23.359 He know how I want these guys coached up. He 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:26.080 knows everything. And that's why I say we won that 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:28.960 with the Cowboys on attrition, because we not only stole 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:31.440 your brain trusts on defense, we stole your second brain 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:34.800 trust also. Right. So now that makes it easy for 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:37.080 Coach Wit to get any thing and get to work 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:39.879 on what he wants them to do. And he knows 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:42.480 the vision of the head coach. And any time he 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:44.040 needs to pick his brain, he right there in the 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:46.760 office down right right next to him. Yeah, I can 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:48.400 go right there and coach, you, remember what we did 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.800 in five against the Raiders. I think we need to 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:53.879 try that this week. Like so, it's so it's a 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:56.440 memory base there too with these guys, and that's why 0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:58.160 I think that relationship gonna be very scrub. 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:00.159 I mean, it is exciting to see this coach. She's 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:02.359 staff in place and now and we'll get to the 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:04.720 draft in the second. But now you have more cap 0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:06.880 space than anyone else in the NFL. 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:11.800 A lot of cap space. That mean a lot of opportunity. 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:15.560 And you got a couple of positions that mirror each other, 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:17.440 like meaning, you need a left tackle, you need a 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:20.000 right town. Well, I can get one in the draft. 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:22.520 I can get one in free agency, all right, I 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:25.440 need a guard. I can get one in free agency. 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:28.120
