Hacked my hairs when. 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:06.319 I lived in. 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:11.760 When I was in Cleveland, man, the two things that 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.880 you'd bump would be bone thugs and Jeral Lebert. 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:17.480 I mean, come on, that's the mail of Cleveland. 0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:20.600 Loved me Jail he was so one time I worked 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.640 the Channel five up there and a big, big Jail 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:24.440 Oft fan, Big. 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.720 Jeril probably was the OJS fan first, Yes, yes, but it. 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.920 Was a big, big Jerrel Lbert fan. And he had 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:33.039 a song that we me and my frat brothers used 0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:35.399 to sing that he and Keith Sweating did the duet, 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:40.280 just one of them things, and uh, great, great great. Anyway, 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.840 I go downstairs because my office is upstairs. But downstairs, 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:47.560 Jerald Lebert is in our building at the assignment desk. Yes, 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:50.320 he's there because it was a pretty little lady worked 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:57.360 on the desk. He finished the show. Man, I straight up, hey. 0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:02.160 Man, yes, yes, I said. 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:03.840 We see one of them things all the time. Man, 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.480 Me and the frid He was like, appreciate, appreciate, nice guy, 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:08.520 super nice guy. 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:09.600 Yes. 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:13.480 Anyway, his passing, his passing hurt me. But a lot 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:17.320 of great music. Uh down in the musical roots in Cleveland. 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.320 You ever get a chance to go there. Uh, you 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:20.840 want to go to a Browns game. You want to 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:22.040 go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.160 you want to take in the game over at the 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:28.120 old Jacobs Field now or whatever. They want to cool place, 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:30.400 cool place, all right. So the Browns are two point 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:36.320 favorites against this Dallas Cowboys team. The Cowboys are bringing 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:40.760 Mike Zimmeran to replace Dan Quinn as the defensive coordinator. 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.720 M HM. When Danny McCrae was a part of the 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:46.840 players line. She was all about d Q and d 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:51.160 Q we trust. How are we feeling about Mike Zimmer, Guys, 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:58.639 y'all barry cowboys about this? 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:03.000 I think using dan Quinn, I think it's gonna be huge. 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:04.880 Do I think it's gonna be detrimental to where they 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.519 won't have at least a you know, top fifteen defense, 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.200 though I don't think it'll be that bad. But we 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:12.600 all saw, you know, when these when this team switched 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:15.440 coordinators from Marionelli to Nolan back a couple of years ago, 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.760 how how bad that went. And then Quinn came in 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:21.160 here and he just shot this defense up with a 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:22.600 bunch of life and a bunch of juice. 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:23.920 And we saw how they played for that. 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:24.160 Man. 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.280 I mean, every single one of those players went out 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:29.280 there and they gave it their all for dan Quinn. 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:31.760 And whether it's turning over, turning over the football, getting 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.200 after the quarterback, whatever the case may be, each of 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:37.000 those guys had career seasons under dan Quinn. And that's 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:39.320 something that I don't think people can just sit there 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:40.800 kind of dismiss like, Okay, you know, we got the 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.360 same players, just a different coordinator. I think it'll be 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:46.280 a little bit harder for this defense to get back 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:48.240 to where they were at least last year, not at 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:49.040 the beginning of the season. 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:50.440 It's gonna be a bumpy road to start. 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:52.680 But I think eventually, you know, they'll get the hold 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:54.640 of Zimmer's defense and you know they'll start the role. 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.480 They have too many great pieces on that defensive side 0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:59.640 to be just a terrible defense. I mean, you got Parsons, 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:01.600 you got d Law, you got Digs, the guys on 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:05.600 the outside, so you got the pieces there. But what's 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.200 gonna be a little bit concerned to me is we 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:10.360 already talked about it, which is that that run defense. 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.880 And in Zimmer's defense, you know how he loves to 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.080 play those guys back and I'm talking about the safeties. 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:17.520 He loves to play those guys back. So it's gonna 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.600 leave you with a light box against the run. And 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.320 when Zimmer had those defenses in Minnesota, he had a 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.760 prime Lynn vald Joseph, he had at Kendricks who was 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:29.840 in his prime, those guys Anthony Barr. They were able 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:31.640 to play the light defense because they had those big 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:34.520 molly wops up front in linebackers. I can run sideline 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:38.000 the sideline. Now we're talking about Zim. You know, probably 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.599 eight years later Kendricks year eleven down, does he still 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:42.159 have the juice to be able to be that sideline 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.360 the sideline guy. And I don't know, lin Vald Joseph, 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:46.799 you're twenty nine. I don't even know what year this guy'said. 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:50.359 But he's been in the league, started six years old. Right, 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:52.120 But it's a lot, all right. 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.039 I'm just saying to me, if the road's gonna be 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:55.880 bumpy a little. 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:57.719 Bit at the beginning of the season, but I believe 0:04:57.720 --> 0:04:59.680 they'll catch a foot and I think they'll finish in 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:01.840 the middle defensively, you know what. 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:06.320 I think, Especially it's right, what do we doing the players? 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:11.680 He put the spin on it. You know, I love that, 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:15.080 And you're right, Danny was all about d Q age. 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.200 He spoke highly of his his scheme and the way 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.080 that he used his players. But I look at these 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:21.880 defensive court now, I look at coaches period like parents. 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.880 You know, you got parenting styles. You got one strict 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:28.200 parenting and then you have the very liberal parents and 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:33.760 free reigns kids. You know, all of that stuff. Mike 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:37.360 Zimmerate the timeout parent, he the parent that go get 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.159 the belt. That's that's the kind of guy. He is 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.440 so got. What I'm saying is this is another just 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:44.600 funny way to say he's more disciplined. He's going to 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:47.320 take a more disciplined approach. You're gonna know exactly where 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.400 he wants you to be. And I think that was 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.760 completely different from Dan d Q. That allowed these guys 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.280 to freelance, freestyle, do some other things. If they were 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.560 going out here, it's kind of flexibility with what you 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:00.919 were doing. We know what the secret sauce is to 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:02.960 beating the Cowboys has been this way for years. Run 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:04.719 the ball on them. They can't get off the ball, 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:06.719 can't get off the field on third down. And oh, 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:08.839 by the way, if they don't get to the quarterback 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:12.920 and if they don't force turnovers, they look average at best. 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.800 But he has to do no matter what is get 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:18.359 those big guys up front, and he has to play 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.240 sturdy in that defensive line. And that's why you bring 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:23.560 in guys like Phillips. That's why you bring in lyn 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:25.960 Vald Joseph that's been playing since Hee them's nine years old. 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:29.400 Off the street, off the street, off the counts. You 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:31.800 want to play. Yeah, yeah, we got something for you 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:35.000 to do. But in the lake right now, are you available? 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:37.120 As much as people want to make jokes about that, 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.520 the thing about it is all you need is that 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:41.760 guy to be able to make a difference in your 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:44.080 linebacker room. And that's where I think you got better 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:46.840 in the off season. You could say Kendrick's been playing forever, 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:50.200 but hey, he's had consistent seasons with one hundred tackles 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.800 and we have needed that tackling machine. But not only that, 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.520 you've needed guys that can also play out in space 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.840 and also defend. And what you're gonna need also in 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.760 this situation is because if your your cornerback room, you're 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.120 gonna need really smart linebackers to be able to play 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:06.479 in and out of phase in areas so that you 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:09.280 can protect your cornerbacks in the flat and underneath. Look, 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:13.640 it's it's imperative right now going up against Cleveland, Stefanski's 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:16.400 not going to change his spots. He's not. Stefans is 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:19.480 not gonna change. He's gonna run that. And the thing is, now, 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.520 when you you talk about Deshaun Watson coming off of 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:25.640 a shoulder injury, there are some things that you haven't 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.000 seen in the off season from him. Hell, there are 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:29.800 things that you haven't seen from Deshaun Watson in a 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:32.880 couple of years that if he starts to reconnect with 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:35.320 some of that, it could be a bad experience for 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:36.720 the Dallas Cowboys in Week one. 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:38.280 So what's Zimmer? 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:40.520 I love him and I think he's going to make 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:43.080 the difference on for this defense. Top ten, top defense. 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.160 Don't fall forward, don't fall forward. He trying to get 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:48.600 you in that trap where he was at top defense. 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:50.960 No, no, no, what are you talking about. I mean, 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:53.040 I believe that we have we got Yeah, so they'll 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:56.280 be they'll be top absolutely all right, Okay, the Dallas 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.880 Cowboys have a top ten defense. Get back, get back 0:07:59.880 --> 0:08:15.480 to the book. Yeah, look at that. Yeah yeah, get healthy, Yeah, 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:21.440 get healthy, my man, darrun Land. Yeah, that's a big one. 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:23.400 That's a big one. And I think you have to 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:26.080 come up for some of those awards early uh with 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:30.000 with Kaylene car Carson. Yea, he changed his number. 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:31.480 He got that one on him now. 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:33.760 And to think about and to think about Carson that 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:35.800 you also know that he's gonna be aggressive. And I 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.680 feel like Al Harris, especially his secondary coach, is going 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:40.760 to have him prepared for this moment. We know, we 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:43.160 know exactly what the Browns are going to present. They 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:45.160 got a lot of problems and they got Amari Cooper, 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:47.640 So let's let's keep it a buck. And you know what, 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:51.120 Amari Cooper two strict thousand yard seasons since he's been 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:54.000 in Cleveland. He presents a problem, especially when you start 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:55.920 talking about tray Von Diggs coming back on an a 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:58.200 cl so Barry. 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.840 When you have a new defensive coordinator bringing in his 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:05.320 type of style here, how long is the adjustment period 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:07.800 for guys on the field. It can be going from 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:09.760 DZ it can be extremely long. 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:13.120 But thankful for this team that at the at the 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:16.200 marquee positions, the positions where you know they do the 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.800 most communicating. They have veterans there that are brought in 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:20.920 from a zimmer As system that understands we're talking about 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.120 the Kendricks. At the linebacker position, who's gonna be And 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:24.800 that's why I say he's gonna be probably the most 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:26.880 important piece of his defense because he's going to be 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:28.560 the quarterback back there. Yeah, I mean, you're gonna have 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:31.880 safeties making calls, but they're gonna be relaying the message 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.280 that Kendricks said. At the second level, he's gonna look around, Okay, 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:36.640 there's two by two two receives on that side. We're 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:38.400 gonna be in this defense, and he's gonna have that 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.600 relayed throughout the entire defense. And then you talk about 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:43.440 a guy Linvald Joseph, even though I make fun of 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:45.400 him for his age, he's gonna have to be that 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.240 guy in there in the trenches that's gonna say, all right, 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:48.439 this is how we're gonna set things up, this is 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:50.319 how we're gonna play double teams. At least kind of 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:53.040 show those guys the way. So if there was no 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:55.720 one coming from the Zimmer Zimmer regime or Zimmer era 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:57.800 when he was coaching defense that was on this defense, 0:09:57.800 --> 0:09:59.040 and I would say it was gonna take a while, 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:01.079 it's gonna be a bumpy road. But you got guys 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.720 in that those marquee positions that can relate to defense 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:05.480 and get these guys at least lined up on the 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:07.240 same page. Because if you're lined up on the same page, 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:08.640 you got a chance. But if you got half of 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:12.360 the field playing cover two, another half playing cover four, that's. 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:14.080 When you get in those those ticky situations. 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.360 So you got to communicator out there and hopefully he 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:18.280 can take this defense and make it his own. 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:21.120 So this is a game where a lot of people 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:24.800 are talking about number four and the pressure run number four, 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:27.800 and I'll tell you they got the wrong number four. 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:32.560 Dak Prescott is a guy who led the league in 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:35.120 touchdown passes last year, the first year in this Mike 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:39.120 McCarthy offense, and they brought his top target back. I 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:42.000 don't worry about Dak Prescott because Dak Prescott has shown 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:46.559 you he's still a top quarterback in this league. Deshaun 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.720 Watson got a whole bunch of guaranteed money, has not 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:52.320 lived up to any of it. And I'm like, anybody 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:57.280 want to go ahead and put something on Watsons. I 0:10:57.360 --> 0:11:02.720 will tell you before he left Clemson, I said the 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:05.000 Cowboys had to have a losing season. Have a losing season, 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.120 Go get DeShawn wats I was sold on to Shawn 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.520 wats I was sold on to Shot Watson more than 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.360 Patrick Mahomes, more than Mitchell Trubisky. Like this is the guy, 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:16.600 Go get this guy. This guy's good. Took Alabama to 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:18.840 the wire and two national championship games, walked out with 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:21.000 one win and the second one and his fault. He 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:24.080 was he the guy can't perform. When Nick Saban says, 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.280 hey man, this dude has given us as much trouble. 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:28.160 Last guy to give us this skin of troubles Cam Newton. 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:32.040 So I'm like, this is the dude and Houston good 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:36.520 player got paid in Cleveland and stuff on Twitter came out. 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:41.480 It ain't been the same guy shoulder last year. This 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.720 for all the people that talk about the accuracy of 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:48.319 Dak Prescott, please go look at DeShawn Watson. If you've 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:50.559 had Deshaun Watson on the fantasy team anytime in the 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.320 last three years, you know the pain. I've known the 0:11:53.360 --> 0:12:01.600 pain at the end of he was that backup about 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:05.280 fantasy I mean, you want to find out about your 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:08.160 quarter plays fantasy. 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:19.000 Football, brother, I mean it's got to be behind how 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:20.040 good the receiver. 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:21.920 They're not magician topic. 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:26.600 I mean getting joker. If you need to any fantasy team, 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:29.400 he'll put some points up because that'll be his that'll 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:30.160 be his outlet guy. 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:32.920 But I mean, you know, hey, down, I want to 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.440 offer this up. I want to offer this up about 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:38.240 Cleveland because they went eleven and seven last season without 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:40.880 Deshaun Watson, only had him for six games. There are 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:44.160 very few teams in the NFL that really you just 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:46.880 got to drive the bus. And I know that's sacrilegious 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.760 in quarterback talk, but just drive the bus. That's how 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:52.719 good that defense is. You know, their defense is that good. 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:56.240 I mean you could be in some ten U three 0:12:56.400 --> 0:13:00.880 zero games with Cleveland's defense. And I think, look, Deshaun Watson, 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:03.520 for the money that he got paid, the pressure is 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:04.120 gonna come with it. 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.440 He's a fully guaranteed country and. 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.800 Unheard of right. But you know, when I look at him, 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:12.920 I think, look, man, if your offensive line can give 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.080 you any push, your running game can be any semblance 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:16.960 of what it has been in the past, it makes 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.599 your job even easier, especially with the guys that you 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:23.439 have on the outside. Jerry Judy, Mark Cooper and company. Look, 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.719 just allow those guys to be them and don't try 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:27.800 and do anything special. We know we're gonna he's gonna 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:30.520 take those short dump off passes. He's not gonna be 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:33.199 trying to go up the field. Initially, I'm saying, you know, 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:35.559 and that's just how my feeling is on him. But 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:37.719 I think this is gonna be a defensive game. And 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:42.600 you saw I saw Flacco last season and he got 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.400 broke off. Somebody's gonna pay him money because of the 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:48.600 job that he did after Deshaun Watson was hurt because 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:50.600 all he did was just come in and not mess 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:53.079 it up, and sometimes that's all you gotta do. 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:55.920 I disagree he took the ball down the field where 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:57.880 Watson wasn't taking the ball down the field. 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:02.240 Yeah, Cooper Cooper was No, That's exactly what I was 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:05.120 gonna say. I mean, when you have a weapon, I mean, 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.600 when you when you have a weapon. 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:11.199 That wind with Watson out there, I mean, because that's 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:14.440 the part of playing in Cleveland, like that wind up 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:15.320 there is tripping man. 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:18.400 Watch. Yeah, when you don't have any weapons, but you 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:20.960 know Cleveland has weapons, and they've always had guys that 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:23.520 could be able to stretch the field, take the top off. 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:25.320 I Meanmark Cooper is one of the best in the 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:31.000 business at what he does. Exactly, my man, it's for you, uh, 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:33.680 my man, d Mac. But either way, you know, you 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:35.920 just when you have weapons the way that he does, 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.440 he understood how to use him. And you think about 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:41.960 Flacco when he played in Baltimore, He was tailor made 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.240 for the job because what all he had to do 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:46.840 was just not mess it up and take the shots 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:54.880 when you had an opportunity to. It's true. Okay, that's true. 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:55.960 My man says, it's true. 0:14:56.720 --> 0:15:00.720 VP. Now he did have a crazy playoff run. He 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:04.120 was good. I mean he wait a minute, you mean 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:08.640 to tell me with ray Lewis what you go? You 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:12.080 go put that Super Bowl on on flocko. You're gonna 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:14.200 tell me floo was the reason that Baltimore won the 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:14.720 Super Bowl? 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:15.640 Did I say it was the reason? 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:15.840 No? 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:18.760 No, I'm just saying you were you that. 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:21.080 This was just sitting here driving the bus like he 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:22.840 was Brad jam Johnson to Tampa Bay. 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:25.440 That was not it, right, We've seen it. That was 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:26.840 you've seen it. You've seen it. 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.520 The show had to go make plays that year, and 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:31.440 he did in that Super Bowl game when I was 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:34.080 at New Orleans two. The dude made some plays and 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:35.800 he was the m v P and that whole that 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:38.800 whole run. But his own team didn't want to pay him. 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:41.000 His own team, Hey man, you need to take this. 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:42.920 He was like, no, I'm not taking that. I'm betting 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:45.000 on myself. He bet on any one, and he won. 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:47.760 And when he played last year in Cleveland, the guy 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:50.480 was a better quarterback than Watson, and he was so 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.880 good they couldn't bring him back too much turmoil. They 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:54.680 couldn't bring him back. 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:56.480 They put the trophy, they didn't put a statue of 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:59.600 him outside the whole like that. 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:05.360 The man, I give him his flowers for the super run. 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:07.160 I give him his flowers for what he did last year. 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:09.240 You know, No, you're on the island right there. 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:10.040 You know that's fine. 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:12.120 That's on the island with that. Say what you want 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:13.600 to be one of the best defenses that come on? 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:15.240 Now you Cleveland? 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:16.240 Huh Cleveland? 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:18.080 Yeah, Cleveland definitely had one of the best defense. 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.800 I'm talking about Baltimore on won in Baltimore. 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:23.680 The guy was not a bus drivers, know what I'm saying. 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:26.080 The guy, the guy made plays. I ain't sitting there 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:28.600 here calling Patrick Mahomes. But the guy made play. The 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:30.960 guy was not The guy wasn't just sitting here driving 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:34.200 the bus. He made plays and and they won because 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:35.800 he was able to make plays. And he had Jim 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:39.440 Calwells's coordinator in Baltimore too, who didn't get enough credit. 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:41.360 But Jim dialed up some stuff and put Joe in 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:43.640 a good spot and he was able to make some 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:44.440 plays in their defense. 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:48.960 Pretty good safety question.

Look, 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:33.720 you're gonna have to bring one of those guys down 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:35.879 in the box if things start getting out of control 0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:39.639 or or you have to start scheming those guys up. 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:42.000 How do you feel against that? With that matchup with 0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:45.359 Donovan Wilson not only in the run and run fits, 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:49.320 but also being lined up over in Jukko and when 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:50.000 it comes to run. 0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:52.439 Fits, I got no issue with with Wilson. I understand 0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:54.520 he understands the run game like the back of his hand. 0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:56.400 The guy's gonna come downhill like a missile. He's gonna 0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:56.920 fill his gaps. 0:20:56.960 --> 0:20:57.560 He's gonna be that. 0:20:57.680 --> 0:20:59.520 Explosive player that you want to see in a run 0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:01.520 game that get your defense hype with the big hit. 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:03.359 So when it comes to the run game, I'm not 0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:06.800 really concerned about Donovan Wilson down there now when it 0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:08.960 comes to eventually because you know, we know Zim loves 0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:11.119 to play zone, but eventually you're gonna have to sprinkle 0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:12.440 in some man. You're gonna have to be in some 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:15.120 third down situations where you gotta go man. And that's 0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:17.919 the situation where they're gonna have them Joku out there 0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:22.200 one on one against Donovan Wilson now is Najoekub Travis 0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:24.959 Kelce No, but the guy is a mismatched nightmare. When 0:21:24.960 --> 0:21:27.720 we talk about vertical speed and being able to use 0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:30.159 his body like a big rebounder out there, so he 0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:32.840 can definitely present some problems to a Wilson in one 0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:35.320 on one coverage, and I don't really see unless it's 0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:39.520 a you know, gotta have it down Zim saying all right, Wilson, 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:40.800 we need you man to man on this guy. 0:21:40.880 --> 0:21:41.359 Lock him up. 0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:43.040 I mean that's just not his game. That wasn't my 0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:45.160 game when I played, and I don't believe that's Wilson's 0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:48.160 game is either. And when you talk about the run scheme, 0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:49.840 there's one thing that they can do. I don't know 0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:51.680 if they do do this or not, but they have 0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:53.560 an option to do so, which is a lot of 0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:56.920 people will play big nickel, which instead of having versus 0:21:56.960 --> 0:21:59.359 a twelve personnel so you got, you know, whatever, two 0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:02.800 running backs, one one tight end or vice versa, you 0:22:02.840 --> 0:22:05.480 would bring down Instead of having George Lewis at that nickel, 0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:07.600 which he's a good run defender as well, you would 0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:09.280 have that big nickel going there, which is kind of 0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:11.800 like a Marque's beak, which he would be that basically 0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:13.800 third linebacker in there, but he's a little bit better 0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:16.119 in coverage than a linebacker. That to me, would be 0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:18.159 the situation you would have there to go against the run. 0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:20.760 If the run is just outright destroying you, you're coming 0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:23.080 downhill versus your base personnel, you got to bring another 0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:25.320 speed guy in there, open field guy. You would bring 0:22:25.440 --> 0:22:27.400 belle down in there to be that big nickel package, 0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:29.520 and hopefully that will resolve some of the issues. But 0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:32.440 first and foremost, they got to get the inside, like 0:22:32.480 --> 0:22:34.199 were talking about, you know, safety is coming down, that's 0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:37.000 all outside work. If you can get that inside situated, 0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:38.479 if you can get Miley Smith to go in there, 0:22:38.520 --> 0:22:41.000 take those double teams and Kendrick can go sideline and sideline, 0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:43.280 then they won't have to bring these guys down. They'll 0:22:43.280 --> 0:22:45.200 be able to have those safeties back. But you know 0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:46.760 what they say, if it was a fifth right, yeah, 0:22:46.800 --> 0:22:50.760 we'd be drunking here. But zone zone typically is what 0:22:50.840 --> 0:22:53.159 you're talking about for coach Zimmer. And then you have 0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:56.440 a rookie who's gonna come into the situation already with 0:22:56.520 --> 0:23:01.480 the jitters. So for I mean Church, thinking about what 0:23:01.600 --> 0:23:03.160 your first game NFL. 0:23:02.920 --> 0:23:06.240 Game, you gotta help, gotta help you, gotta help you. 0:23:06.320 --> 0:23:08.200 Man, the waters are gonna be choppy enough as a 0:23:08.280 --> 0:23:11.360 rookie going in there your first NFL game. Like of course, 0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:13.280 these guys have been to you know that. Some guys 0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:15.960 sec there are used to big crowds, but the NFL, 0:23:16.000 --> 0:23:18.080 it's just it's just a different visa, just a different vibe. 0:23:18.080 --> 0:23:20.080 It's just a different feel and you're gonna be anxious 0:23:20.119 --> 0:23:21.800 out there. You need somebody to help calm you down, 0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:23.480 so you don't want to be tossed in the island 0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:25.760 your first National Football League game. 0:23:25.800 --> 0:23:27.639 So to me what Zimmer's going through, it's gonna sprinkle 0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:28.440 a lot of zone in there. 0:23:28.480 --> 0:23:30.280 To help the young man now and on man and 0:23:30.320 --> 0:23:32.960 man situations, lean of safety over the top, you know, 0:23:33.040 --> 0:23:35.600 just lean He ain't gotta be fully on top of 0:23:35.640 --> 0:23:35.920 the guy. 0:23:36.240 --> 0:23:37.920 Just lean him over a little bit to kind of 0:23:37.960 --> 0:23:39.040 discourage that quarterback. 0:23:39.119 --> 0:23:41.320 So the young man understands that he has deep help, 0:23:41.320 --> 0:23:43.080 because that's a big that's a big thing when you 0:23:43.160 --> 0:23:45.920 talk about a defensive back learning where his help is. 0:23:46.040 --> 0:23:48.120 If he understands where his help is and he has 0:23:48.119 --> 0:23:50.000 all right, I cannot get beat to the outside, or 0:23:50.000 --> 0:23:51.919 I cannot get beat to the inside. I got somebody 0:23:52.000 --> 0:23:54.840 over the top that'll help alleviate the will help calm 0:23:54.920 --> 0:23:56.679 him down a lot when he goes out there. Now, 0:23:56.760 --> 0:23:58.639 you can either lean a safety over the top, or 0:23:59.040 --> 0:24:00.440 you can help him play off off and have a 0:24:00.520 --> 0:24:03.239 linebacker buzz underneath. But they gotta help the young man out. 0:24:03.280 --> 0:24:05.879 I don't want to see, and you're always talking about this, 0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:07.840 I don't want to see a Chaz Green situation where 0:24:07.840 --> 0:24:09.680 they're like you know what, You're on an island against 0:24:09.720 --> 0:24:11.880 this guy one on one. He's beating you like a drum. 0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:13.800 But we're still gonna leave you out there. No, I 0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:15.920 believe Zimmer is one of the smarter defensive minds in 0:24:15.960 --> 0:24:17.960 the National Football League. So he's gonna help the young man. 0:24:18.040 --> 0:24:20.200 So you're saying, protect him. You got you gotta protect 0:24:20.480 --> 0:24:22.760 the top. You see the Mark Cooper running around, Yes, 0:24:23.080 --> 0:24:25.280 like that. He gives some of the best corners in 0:24:25.320 --> 0:24:27.359 the National Football League fits. You don't want to just 0:24:27.760 --> 0:24:29.639 kill the man's confidence. Go out there and watch the 0:24:29.680 --> 0:24:31.880 Martin Cooper one on one. He's dogging out the first 0:24:32.119 --> 0:24:34.800 to the first two whatever, the first two drives and 0:24:34.840 --> 0:24:36.879 you're like, man, I'm not ready for this game. Then 0:24:36.920 --> 0:24:39.040 the confidence gets shot. So you gotta help the young 0:24:39.080 --> 0:24:40.439 eye man. Now, let him go out there and make 0:24:40.480 --> 0:24:40.879 some place. 0:24:41.359 --> 0:24:44.920 What about Diggs? Do you put Trevon Diggs on a 0:24:45.000 --> 0:24:45.760 pitch count? Here? 0:24:46.280 --> 0:24:50.560 M If you have bland, I would say, yeah, you 0:24:50.600 --> 0:24:52.880 can throw a little throw, throw him a little pitch count. 0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:56.080 But without bland, you can't have him on and off 0:24:56.119 --> 0:24:58.199 the field. I mean, I want him to go out there. 0:24:58.240 --> 0:24:59.960 I want him to you know, if the training staffs. 0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:01.000 He's fully ready to go. 0:25:01.720 --> 0:25:03.480 Then days you gotta get out there and you got 0:25:03.600 --> 0:25:05.159 to perform. This defense is gonna need you. 0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:08.080 And I want the digs that still has that gambler 0:25:08.160 --> 0:25:10.760 mentality understand, you know, coming back from that knee, you 0:25:10.840 --> 0:25:13.080 don't want to you know you kind of figure out, man, 0:25:13.480 --> 0:25:14.440 Do I still got the jews? 0:25:15.480 --> 0:25:16.600 Can I still plan all that thing? 0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:18.600 But the worst thing I want him to do is 0:25:18.640 --> 0:25:20.800 go out there and play cautious, not play his game, 0:25:20.960 --> 0:25:23.240 give up a lot of catches underneath, just to just 0:25:23.320 --> 0:25:26.080 to watch that knee. Like, still have that gambler mentality, 0:25:26.119 --> 0:25:27.840 Still jump on round, Still be the guy that we 0:25:27.960 --> 0:25:30.280 know you are out there when fully healthy, But when 0:25:30.320 --> 0:25:33.040 it comes to a pitch count, you don't have the depth, 0:25:33.320 --> 0:25:34.880 You don't have the death right now to go out 0:25:34.880 --> 0:25:37.040 there and say, you know, hey, you only play thirty 0:25:37.080 --> 0:25:39.439 five forty plays here and there, we'll sprinkle some other 0:25:39.440 --> 0:25:41.080 guys in there, because who you gonna sprinkle in there? 0:25:41.160 --> 0:25:44.440 So let me add on this. If you're Cleveland, we 0:25:44.480 --> 0:25:46.640 got a rookie, got a guy coming up an injury, 0:25:48.400 --> 0:25:49.640 you're going to try to test them. 0:25:49.840 --> 0:25:50.440 Off the top. 0:25:51.359 --> 0:25:54.000 Yeah, it might be the first play yeah, test that chance. 0:25:53.840 --> 0:25:56.560 To play action for sure. And you know, I always 0:25:56.640 --> 0:25:58.680 go back to situations like this when you talk about 0:25:58.760 --> 0:26:01.960 I've heard so many any players talk about Brett Brown 0:26:02.359 --> 0:26:05.040 and his preparedness and the way that he brings guys back. 0:26:05.080 --> 0:26:07.760 And I think about Trayvon Diggs and when he got hurt, 0:26:07.840 --> 0:26:09.920 it wasn't like end of the season playoffs, and this is, 0:26:10.280 --> 0:26:12.040 you know, beginning of the season, so I had plenty 0:26:12.080 --> 0:26:14.120 of time to heal from it. And then you look 0:26:14.160 --> 0:26:16.440 at you know, the acl achilles injury used to be 0:26:16.680 --> 0:26:18.879 like the death nail to a guy's career. Now you're 0:26:18.920 --> 0:26:20.840 seeing guys be able to come back and play with 0:26:21.000 --> 0:26:23.520 a c L M c LS. And I mean Joe 0:26:23.640 --> 0:26:26.280 Thomas came back grunk your man, you gotta find you know, 0:26:28.280 --> 0:26:30.200 he blew both of his you know, and was able 0:26:30.240 --> 0:26:32.080 to come back. Tom Brady blew in a cl and 0:26:32.200 --> 0:26:34.879 so guys are able to come back and play. I 0:26:35.080 --> 0:26:37.600 just feel like for Trayvon Diggs, it's the same with 0:26:37.880 --> 0:26:40.320 almost like Carson. It's that mentality, what do you do 0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:42.240 with your eyes? You know, where are your eyes? And 0:26:42.320 --> 0:26:43.719 see a lot? I see a little, see a lot, 0:26:43.840 --> 0:26:46.679 you know, you know what I mean little see a lot, right. 0:26:47.240 --> 0:26:49.720 And the thing about him is that even in that 0:26:49.840 --> 0:26:52.840 gambler mentality, I want him to play like you're talking about. 0:26:53.160 --> 0:26:55.240 But I think it's he's gonna have to get that 0:26:55.359 --> 0:26:58.479 confidence as the game goes on. And like you were 0:26:58.480 --> 0:27:00.800 talking about Kayln Carson, you was saying, look, man, play 0:27:00.880 --> 0:27:03.280 within the scheme and don't try and guess. You know, 0:27:03.560 --> 0:27:05.520 know where you're protecting, know where your help is. And 0:27:05.560 --> 0:27:07.680 that's the biggest thing when you play defense is knowing 0:27:07.720 --> 0:27:09.919 where your help is. And I think if if Diggs 0:27:10.000 --> 0:27:12.080 can do that, I think at some point, especially in 0:27:12.160 --> 0:27:13.879 the season, he'll let zim know. 0:27:14.280 --> 0:27:18.320 Look, yeah, I'm I'm ready to go, you know, go 0:27:18.440 --> 0:27:19.040 to double moves. 0:27:19.680 --> 0:27:23.040 Yeah, you know that Mark Coopers for the doubles and 0:27:23.160 --> 0:27:26.040 you know who know that he's susceptible to the double. 0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:31.520 Road tied on road tide. 0:27:31.800 --> 0:27:33.800 Yeah, that should be a good matchup for sure. Do 0:27:33.840 --> 0:27:35.840 you see them you know, they didn't do it a 0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:37.520 lot last year. I don't even know if they did 0:27:37.560 --> 0:27:39.200 it at all last year. But do you see them 0:27:39.359 --> 0:27:43.280 traveling digs with with Cooper at all throughout this game? 0:27:44.320 --> 0:27:47.240 Wow? You know what, It's a lot to ask coming 0:27:47.280 --> 0:27:51.639 on because because I think I think one, because of 0:27:51.680 --> 0:27:53.960 the matchup and because of what you have going on 0:27:54.240 --> 0:27:58.560 with your with your cornerback room, I think everybody's going 0:27:58.640 --> 0:28:00.639 to get a full servant of them are Cooper. I 0:28:00.720 --> 0:28:02.920 think he's gonna line up all over the field. And 0:28:03.040 --> 0:28:05.119 I think that's the one element of this game that 0:28:05.200 --> 0:28:07.399 they have right now that I think Dallas has to 0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:07.960 prepare for. 0:28:08.400 --> 0:28:12.040 How much juice is Mari half of this game? Oh, 0:28:12.040 --> 0:28:14.240 I think he's a player, he's out of team like. 0:28:14.320 --> 0:28:15.920 He's the type of guy that he won't put it 0:28:16.000 --> 0:28:18.359 on his sleeve. He won't show all that emotion under it, 0:28:18.600 --> 0:28:18.840 but you. 0:28:18.880 --> 0:28:22.400 Know underneath he's like, man, I can't wait wait, Yeah, 0:28:22.560 --> 0:28:24.760 so you know it because you know it's gonna send 0:28:24.760 --> 0:28:25.920 everybody to a panic. 0:28:29.760 --> 0:28:29.840 And. 0:28:31.640 --> 0:28:32.359 He ain't gonna show it. 0:28:32.440 --> 0:28:34.280 He won't say it before the game anything like that. 0:28:34.480 --> 0:28:37.240 But they'll be slight, they'll be slight notices and go 0:28:37.320 --> 0:28:39.200 out there and get the first down. He's gonna get up, 0:28:39.240 --> 0:28:41.560 shrug his shoulders a little bit. He might you a celebration. 0:28:41.640 --> 0:28:43.440 You know, he's not known for the celebration. He might 0:28:43.520 --> 0:28:45.800 get up and celebrate a little bit better. I think 0:28:45.840 --> 0:28:47.560 he's uh he's boiling for this one. 0:28:47.720 --> 0:28:50.240 Yeah, I'm one of those people, man, thinking about this 0:28:50.360 --> 0:28:53.800 game and what I've seen on the film with the Browns. 0:28:54.080 --> 0:28:56.400 I feel like Mike is gonna come after. I think 0:28:56.440 --> 0:28:58.720 he has to. I think he has to. You know, 0:28:58.880 --> 0:29:01.880 we've had these conversations by defensive schemes. Make eleven guys 0:29:01.920 --> 0:29:05.120 look like fifteen guys and you know, create mayhem, and 0:29:05.280 --> 0:29:06.960 he's gonna he's gonna have to do that at the 0:29:07.040 --> 0:29:10.440 line of scrimmage if he allows for Deshaun Watson to 0:29:10.520 --> 0:29:12.360 be comfortable in the pocket and maneuver and do it 0:29:12.480 --> 0:29:14.920 like you can't do that.

I had the whole 0:33:48.520 --> 0:33:52.960 gumpy bro shoot. 0:33:52.960 --> 0:33:58.080 I was working in Cleveland that year. I say this. 0:34:00.040 --> 0:34:01.880 About to show you on my phone. I am not 0:34:02.080 --> 0:34:14.919 seeing because you are not crack Part two about bro what? Yes, 0:34:15.640 --> 0:34:23.480 because I had the gumpy so I love it bigger 0:34:23.480 --> 0:34:29.000 than definitely, manap. 0:34:28.600 --> 0:34:29.359 Not so much. 0:34:30.800 --> 0:34:32.920 We asked earlier in the show, should there be a 0:34:32.960 --> 0:34:35.560 pitch count on corner Travon Diggs coming back from injury? 0:34:35.680 --> 0:34:38.520 And we said no. I asked this question now about 0:34:38.560 --> 0:34:41.080 Ceedee Lamb, the wide receiver just signed this big deal, 0:34:41.160 --> 0:34:44.560 missed all the training camp. Here is he on a 0:34:44.640 --> 0:34:49.040 pitch count because you get a hamstring pull, you know, 0:34:49.400 --> 0:34:52.040 some type of lower leg injury? Man, and you know, 0:34:52.920 --> 0:34:58.680 so how much do you play your key offensive your 0:34:58.760 --> 0:34:59.960 best offensive weapon. 0:35:01.440 --> 0:35:04.319 Let me answer this for you. Hell ain't no pitch 0:35:06.000 --> 0:35:11.280 count you out there? We outside, all right? We outside 0:35:11.320 --> 0:35:15.960 tonight we outside, No, sir, There's no way you could 0:35:15.960 --> 0:35:18.360 go into Cleveland with the pressure that they presented as 0:35:18.400 --> 0:35:21.799 a defense and limit anything that Ceedee Lamb has, because 0:35:21.800 --> 0:35:23.960 I'm telling you it's gonna be all hands on deck 0:35:24.320 --> 0:35:27.719 you have to have, especially if you establish any kind 0:35:27.760 --> 0:35:30.000 of balance with that running game. If that running game 0:35:30.120 --> 0:35:32.640 is popping, Ceedee Lamb is going to eat because he 0:35:32.800 --> 0:35:34.919 is going to be matched up man man, and they're 0:35:34.960 --> 0:35:37.520 not gonna they're not gonna change their spots because they're 0:35:37.560 --> 0:35:40.680 coming up against Ceedee Lambing. When you examine this roster 0:35:41.239 --> 0:35:44.640 of the Cleveland Browns, they got some dogs. I know 0:35:44.680 --> 0:35:46.959 we're gonna dig deep into it tomorrow, so I won't 0:35:47.000 --> 0:35:48.920 go too far. But I'm just telling you you cannot 0:35:49.360 --> 0:35:52.120 go ahead. Well look look it's the thing is, you're 0:35:52.160 --> 0:35:54.359 gonna be disneyl Awards. Probably gonna travel. 0:35:55.440 --> 0:35:56.000 Some cold too. 0:35:56.760 --> 0:35:59.640 You can tell you cold. One Thorn Hill is cold. 0:36:00.320 --> 0:36:01.680 It's lighting up justin Jefferson. 0:36:02.520 --> 0:36:05.400 They have some guys in that secondary that don't play around, 0:36:05.520 --> 0:36:09.000 and look, you know why they don't. They have goons 0:36:09.239 --> 0:36:12.719 in the front. And look, we're gonna talk about guys 0:36:12.800 --> 0:36:17.120 like Miles Garrett. He is awesome, but Jeremiah or Wusu, 0:36:17.480 --> 0:36:21.880 Coreyl Moore, he is so one and here is the 0:36:21.920 --> 0:36:24.239 guy that brings all the energy to what they do. 0:36:24.640 --> 0:36:27.239 But honestly, it's like when you have that kind of 0:36:27.320 --> 0:36:29.880 pass rush, it makes life, as we've talked about, so 0:36:30.040 --> 0:36:32.319 much easier for those guys because they feel like, look, 0:36:32.560 --> 0:36:35.880 we can lock you up long enough for Miles to 0:36:35.960 --> 0:36:39.880 get home. But hey, we've seen in games versus Houston 0:36:40.400 --> 0:36:46.440 when that don't work, and that don't work, we got 0:36:46.520 --> 0:36:49.120 somebody that can work it. Now I'm with you on that. Heck. 0:36:49.200 --> 0:36:51.239 I mean, you know, it'd be hard to kind of 0:36:51.400 --> 0:36:52.959 kind of hide them out there a little bit, because 0:36:52.960 --> 0:36:54.480 you know, I was thinking, maybe you can take him 0:36:54.480 --> 0:36:56.640 out of a run, you know, rundowns and then bring 0:36:56.719 --> 0:36:58.760 them back. But then you know, coordinators are too smartness 0:36:58.800 --> 0:37:00.560 League and I'll black CD's out to stack them, but 0:37:01.080 --> 0:37:03.160 they'll figure it out. So it'd be tough to kind 0:37:03.200 --> 0:37:04.520 of get him on and off on a on a 0:37:04.560 --> 0:37:07.320 pitch count. Plus, like you said, if he's out and 0:37:07.440 --> 0:37:10.280 you're trying to be productive offensively, especially in a passing attack. 0:37:10.719 --> 0:37:13.359 Who who out there has proven was a time proofing 0:37:13.440 --> 0:37:15.480 consistency that they can go out there and win the 0:37:15.560 --> 0:37:18.000 one on one matchups. I mean Cooks back in the 0:37:18.080 --> 0:37:20.160 day could have I haven't seen it last year, ferg 0:37:20.360 --> 0:37:23.480 he hasn't not got that's my man for you, But 0:37:23.560 --> 0:37:25.560 he's I don't know if he can get you those 0:37:25.600 --> 0:37:27.160 big chunks like a CD can. 0:37:27.200 --> 0:37:27.759 I don't know if he can. 0:37:27.800 --> 0:37:29.279 He gonna get you those five to ten yards, but 0:37:29.320 --> 0:37:31.040 can he get you those chunks like CD camp, I'm 0:37:31.080 --> 0:37:33.000 not so sure. And then Tolbert, this will be his 0:37:33.160 --> 0:37:35.520 first you know season where he's gonna be, you know, 0:37:35.600 --> 0:37:37.279 a big time factor as far as offense, you know. 0:37:37.360 --> 0:37:40.239 Catching passes and stuff. So to me, you gotta play 0:37:40.280 --> 0:37:41.160 pay CD out there. 0:37:41.280 --> 0:37:43.239 You gotta make sure he's not on a pitch count because, 0:37:43.239 --> 0:37:44.880 like I said, coordinators will figure out when he's in 0:37:44.960 --> 0:37:46.600 and when he's not what this offense wants to do. 0:37:46.880 --> 0:37:48.640 And if he's not on the football field, it's gonna 0:37:48.640 --> 0:37:50.440 be hard for this passing attack to be productive. 0:37:52.480 --> 0:37:55.520 Let's in this with a yes no questions we get 0:37:55.520 --> 0:37:59.120 toward the end of this show, yes no, yes, no, yes, no, 0:37:59.560 --> 0:38:04.440 I like, and I'll started. Does Michael Parsons win the 0:38:04.600 --> 0:38:09.680 NFL Defensive Player of the Year award? Put me down 0:38:09.719 --> 0:38:17.000 his note B that's it big. He ain't gonna get it. 0:38:20.160 --> 0:38:24.960 No straight off. You know what, he's so dramatic, this guy. 0:38:26.800 --> 0:38:28.320 It's being down like god. 0:38:32.360 --> 0:38:33.560 New defensive coordinator. 0:38:34.160 --> 0:38:34.520 I got. 0:38:34.600 --> 0:38:37.800 You're still worried about what I see up front? You know, 0:38:37.960 --> 0:38:39.040 first place schedule right now. 0:38:39.120 --> 0:38:39.359 I don't. 0:38:39.360 --> 0:38:41.320 I don't feel. I'm not feeling. I'm not feeling, So 0:38:41.520 --> 0:38:45.200 I go, I went right there. Look, I think my 0:38:45.280 --> 0:38:47.520 man is gonna rebrand this year. I think we're going 0:38:47.560 --> 0:38:50.120 from rebranding, we're going from the bazooka to the missile. 0:38:50.680 --> 0:38:53.840 When I he would be forever referred to as the missile, 0:38:53.920 --> 0:38:59.560 the missile for now and answers yes, absolutely, yes, yes, 0:38:59.640 --> 0:39:03.040 for sure. There's only one other man not named Reggie 0:39:03.080 --> 0:39:05.520 White that can say that they had the most success 0:39:05.560 --> 0:39:08.240 that he's had in his seasons as an NFL player. 0:39:08.800 --> 0:39:09.480 Okay, let's go. 0:39:09.640 --> 0:39:14.239 Okay, for myself, I'm with I'm actually with Heck on 0:39:14.320 --> 0:39:14.640 this one. 0:39:14.800 --> 0:39:15.880 I'm with the Heck on this one. 0:39:15.960 --> 0:39:17.799 This man, I think was the past three years he's 0:39:17.840 --> 0:39:20.440 been top three you know, as far as you know voting. 0:39:20.480 --> 0:39:22.040 When it comes to the defensive Player of the Year, 0:39:22.120 --> 0:39:24.960 and this year, I think he'll make not only you know, 0:39:25.000 --> 0:39:25.600 he'll get his sad. 0:39:25.600 --> 0:39:26.600 I feel like he'll get his ass. 0:39:26.600 --> 0:39:28.600 He'll be double digit sacked, but I'll make more impact 0:39:28.680 --> 0:39:32.320 plays when it comes to I think forced fumble, scooping funnels, 0:39:32.360 --> 0:39:34.279 maybe an interception here too. I think they're going to 0:39:34.360 --> 0:39:36.759 use them all over the charts. So yeah, I think 0:39:36.800 --> 0:39:39.239 this will be the first time. This will be his 0:39:39.360 --> 0:39:42.440 first opportunity the missile to get the missile my Badzuka, 0:39:42.800 --> 0:39:45.560 the mismissile miss won't get it done. 0:39:45.920 --> 0:39:49.759 But that you got, I mean yes and no, I'm 0:39:49.800 --> 0:39:54.759 on that. I will tell you what I'm selling you, dog, 0:39:54.800 --> 0:40:00.399 I'm not selling I ain't say. I ain't selling you good. 0:40:00.480 --> 0:40:02.839 You're good, You're good. I ain't no. Hope, that's real 0:40:03.040 --> 0:40:05.960 that you already know what Michael's bringing. So it's not 0:40:06.160 --> 0:40:09.279 am I selling you on nothing that Michae's got. The 0:40:09.400 --> 0:40:11.680 numbers are there. The numbers are there. You know it 0:40:11.719 --> 0:40:12.239 supports it. 0:40:12.400 --> 0:40:14.360 Let me let me ask you this. And y'all worried 0:40:14.360 --> 0:40:19.440 about the podcast? Are y'all worried about any of these 0:40:19.560 --> 0:40:21.960 four rookies that are going to be thrown into the 0:40:22.000 --> 0:40:22.600 starting lineup. 0:40:22.920 --> 0:40:32.600 Yeah, of course, yes, sir, Dyton guy, the BB left 0:40:32.680 --> 0:40:35.600 tackle man against mine left tackles. 0:40:35.800 --> 0:40:39.160 Yes, it should worry you. He was a right tackle 0:40:39.239 --> 0:40:43.280 in college. Left tackle out here. Cooper Bebe's never played center. 0:40:43.440 --> 0:40:47.279 He was an outstanding All American player at Kansas at 0:40:47.360 --> 0:40:51.880 guard h this is a change. Yeah, you should be worried. 0:40:53.160 --> 0:40:57.280 Corner out here, Jason Mark Cooper, you should be worried. 0:40:57.400 --> 0:41:00.480 You should have a concern. I'm not saying that this 0:41:00.719 --> 0:41:04.000 can't be a good rookie class. This is a tough 0:41:04.080 --> 0:41:06.160 team to go play and go on the road for 0:41:06.239 --> 0:41:10.160 your first game. So yes, you should have concern. I 0:41:10.600 --> 0:41:14.719 am I am a naturally just be concerned guy, because dude, 0:41:15.960 --> 0:41:19.480 you Jim Schwartz man, you are already rookies soon. 0:41:21.800 --> 0:41:22.160 Tackle. 0:41:22.360 --> 0:41:24.840 Let's figure out how. Jim schwartz is a really good. 0:41:24.760 --> 0:41:27.239 Coordinate and that's a super Bowl time and won a 0:41:27.239 --> 0:41:27.640 Super Bowl. 0:41:27.719 --> 0:41:30.799 This is a really good cordner. So he's gonna Everybody's 0:41:30.840 --> 0:41:34.799 going to test these guys, and you have to. Everybody's 0:41:34.800 --> 0:41:38.440 gonna test him. So and this is where Mike McCarthy 0:41:39.440 --> 0:41:44.120 as a head coach, and I think Mike McCarthy when 0:41:44.120 --> 0:41:45.399 you look at the last three years and you're talking 0:41:45.400 --> 0:41:47.239 to look about rookies and where guys have performed, I 0:41:47.239 --> 0:41:49.040 think Mike's done a really good I don't think he 0:41:49.080 --> 0:41:50.960 gets enough credit, which is why I think is wild. 0:41:51.040 --> 0:41:53.400 And this man is on a one year contract and 0:41:53.560 --> 0:41:55.799 not not have an extension. Already he's done. He's shown 0:41:55.800 --> 0:41:58.880 you he can develop guys. And I'm not saying that 0:41:58.880 --> 0:42:00.480 I don't think they can be devel looked that they 0:42:00.480 --> 0:42:02.080 can't be good players. But this first game I just 0:42:02.120 --> 0:42:02.880 think is a challenge. 0:42:03.800 --> 0:42:06.680 Look for me, I've seen enough of Cooper BB and 0:42:06.760 --> 0:42:08.960 I know exactly what kind of player is. And you know, 0:42:09.040 --> 0:42:10.440 like you say, man, when you get to the arena, 0:42:10.480 --> 0:42:12.440 either some guys have it and they don't, and some 0:42:12.600 --> 0:42:14.719 guys just have that propensity to be that player that 0:42:14.800 --> 0:42:16.600 they won't it, you know. And he's that guy that 0:42:16.680 --> 0:42:19.000 I believe wants it, and I think he's in between 0:42:19.080 --> 0:42:22.000 two players that can elevate his game the same way 0:42:22.040 --> 0:42:24.680 that you see that offensive line out in San Francisco 0:42:24.760 --> 0:42:26.960 because of Trent Williams. When you have a guy on 0:42:27.040 --> 0:42:29.360 the left and right of you like Zach Martin and 0:42:29.600 --> 0:42:32.040 Smith Dog. I think that elevates and that makes things 0:42:32.160 --> 0:42:34.719 even more comfortable when you're going into war with the 0:42:34.760 --> 0:42:36.319 team that you know is going to pressure. You got 0:42:36.320 --> 0:42:38.000 two of the best and in the middle of the field. 0:42:38.200 --> 0:42:40.719 If you can open those holes and protect in the 0:42:40.800 --> 0:42:43.000 middle of the field. And I'm not saying that Tyler 0:42:43.040 --> 0:42:44.960 guy ain't got his work cut out for him, because 0:42:44.960 --> 0:42:46.879 he does. But you guys have pointed out the fact 0:42:46.920 --> 0:42:48.560 that you can get tight end help. You can ship 0:42:48.680 --> 0:42:51.040 him over to that side. But if I'm strong in 0:42:51.080 --> 0:42:53.120 the middle of my offensive line, and that makes up 0:42:53.160 --> 0:42:55.560 for everything that I need as far as gutting. 0:42:55.320 --> 0:42:56.360 This team defensively. 0:42:56.520 --> 0:42:58.560 Yeah, anybody any of those two that are starting to 0:42:58.560 --> 0:43:01.640 get the yaufu or I'm pronouncing all type of wrong 0:43:01.719 --> 0:43:04.919 Maris Maurris, You know, Carson on the outside, you're worried 0:43:04.920 --> 0:43:07.000 about any and no, I think I think the talent 0:43:07.080 --> 0:43:10.759 that I've seen from the linebacker room just in you know, 0:43:11.160 --> 0:43:15.080 out in Oxnard, I saw that as an upgrade. I mean, obviously, 0:43:15.239 --> 0:43:17.800 when you see Overshawn not be able to crack the 0:43:18.200 --> 0:43:21.239 lineup it with live out in front of him. Maybe 0:43:21.320 --> 0:43:25.800 what we've been thinking about Overshawan isn't accurate either, you know, 0:43:25.920 --> 0:43:28.440 and maybe we have something in this rookie who we 0:43:28.560 --> 0:43:29.000 already know. 0:43:29.080 --> 0:43:32.520 He's gonna fly around, he's gonna hit you. He's responsible 0:43:32.560 --> 0:43:35.000 in past pro you know, past coverage. He's and so 0:43:35.239 --> 0:43:38.000 that's what I'm I'm leaning on with Kaitlyn Carson. Like 0:43:38.120 --> 0:43:40.279 you just said, I'm playing zone. I got to save 0:43:40.400 --> 0:43:45.440 thee help over that. Yeah, don't go crazy. 0:43:46.640 --> 0:43:47.760 I got that got. 0:43:49.520 --> 0:43:49.680 You know. 0:43:50.520 --> 0:43:53.520 So that's all if I mean, if we're to take 0:43:53.640 --> 0:43:58.520 in the group of like, oh no, I don't know 0:43:58.680 --> 0:44:01.480 exactly what once you see that up there, you know, 0:44:05.760 --> 0:44:07.759 I'm worried about it, man, But I think there's a 0:44:07.840 --> 0:44:09.720 way you could cover that up. You already you already 0:44:09.760 --> 0:44:17.080 said what it is, all right? Booi, Oh no, tomorrow 0:44:17.160 --> 0:44:19.400 we get started. Tomorrow, we get started. 0:44:19.680 --> 0:44:24.560 There is football. Tomorrow's the Baltimore Ravens against the Kansas 0:44:24.560 --> 0:44:28.719 City Chiefs. Yeah, we got one of those two teams 0:44:28.760 --> 0:44:30.080 will win the Super Bowl this year. 0:44:31.640 --> 0:44:39.160 That's what You're not going to Jacksonville doing that. He 0:44:39.320 --> 0:44:42.680 was so cocky about it, cocking like rocket. I got 0:44:42.760 --> 0:44:48.520 something for y'all. He's got the Tarzann. 0:44:49.120 --> 0:44:49.759 I didn't call him. 0:44:53.280 --> 0:44:57.440 I was in on tremor. That was a stretch of 0:44:57.480 --> 0:45:00.560 the games. We've all had our our comings. 0:45:00.600 --> 0:45:01.320 That haven't. 0:45:04.480 --> 0:45:04.919 All right. 0:45:07.440 --> 0:45:13.760 Heck, bringing a gummy picture for throw back strikes Playing 0:45:13.840 --> 0:45:16.080 so Lounge, brought to you by Aristocrat Game.
