Oh yeah, like 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:38.600 all the game activation and stuff like.

Yeah, Yeah, that's the best way 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:46.440 that they do it. And it's nice because it helps 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.000 the legends out and it helps the fans out. Like 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:51.480 the fans, there's so much stuff to a lot, good food, 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:52.160 good drinks. 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.640 I mean, it's all age groups. Can't beat it, Yeah, 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:55.600 can't beat it. 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:56.080 That's great. 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:57.280 But yeah, Isaiah was there. 0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:59.840 I tried to boarding your your fellow co hosts like it. 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:01.920 Yeah, he came in and supported for a little bit. 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:03.640 I tried to throw him a T shirt, didn't get 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:06.160 it there in time and she fell a little short. 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:07.840 Had to lack of velocity. 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:11.600 Show him how it goes, Isaiah, him to spin it. 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:14.520 His wife did throw me some popcorn though, Yeah, she 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:16.160 threw some popcorn that she has a cannon too. 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:18.119 He must have run in the family. 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:21.280 Really, Yeah, she a little different, but popcorn was just good. 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:25.919 One dude in front of me, try snap and I said, 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.520 you pull your hand back, you ain't gonna eat. 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:34.480 My favorite, my favorite part about it was Isaiah was 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.680 across the floor from us, about about halfway up, and 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:40.839 so I could see his whole family taking up the row. 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.720 And it was a really good game. The Legends were 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.560 down by three. Opposing team was at the free throw 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:48.640 line to push it to four. He missed the free 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.520 throw with four seconds left. Legends rebound, push it ahead 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.639 to the half court, and then Delano banned one of 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:55.920 those players that used to be in the NBA but 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:57.800 now is in the G League put up a half 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.560 court shot while the other team was trying to faul 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.440 him before on the floor. So that was two free throws. 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:05.680 They gave them all three free throws. He hit them 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.640 all tight at winning and won overtime. And as I 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.080 was watching all of this unfold, I would like peek 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:12.959 up at Isaiah's family and they. 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:13.520 Were super in. 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:15.520 My son was all yeah, he was. 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.320 It's pumping and the hair up. 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:20.320 It was cool. 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:24.080 Love good Texas Legend the game, especially with Kyle. 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:27.000 On the cost. But you guys, would you guys, would 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.800 you want to be seven six. No, dude, would you 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:31.640 rather would you rather be four foot. 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:32.880 Five or put seven to six? 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.240 And here, everybody you have the choice, would you rather 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:36.800 be four foot five or seven foot six? 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:37.520 Seven foot six? 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.200 All day for six, but I'd rather I'd rather be 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.840 just a normal height. 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:47.680 Seven six. What are you driving? Oh? Something custom? You 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.280 find something you got a customize, if you got custom money, 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:51.000 what do you drive? 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.160 Fine? You don't have to drive the Flintstones car with 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:54.760 the top off. 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.400 This rose take, this train has taken. 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:07.000 You can never fly anywhere though ever. Ever, Again, that sucks. 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:11.640 It's hard for even a regular human being. Granted, you know, 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:14.800 being five nine five ten, I'm a little more wider 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.120 than than the typical person, but like getting on a 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:18.480 plane is the worst. 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.320 At seven, we. 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:21.880 Were looking at they have a player down their team 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:24.680 that's seven foot six, and I'm looking at I'm watching 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.920 this dude stand up and his teammates like shoulders are 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:28.320 at his. 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.200 Hips and these are guys that are like six foot 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:32.800 five and above. It was like, nobody is shorter than 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.000 six five and they're at his shoulders his legs. 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:37.000 It's nuts. Go go get your legs, bro. 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:40.000 But then imagine just being Wemby too, though. Imagine being 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:40.440 that bad to. 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:41.320 Be in that agile. 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.839 Yeah, yeah, Wemby's a free You're you're a Superimby. 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:45.240 Is that tall? 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:47.720 That's slender means a little bit shorter, but by a lot. 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:48.320 I thought. 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:51.880 Jamerian has them by like those reference. 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:52.240 I thought. 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:54.000 I thought Wemby went from seven two to seven six 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.560 is offseason this Yeah, they said he grew like four 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.000 inches A no way, I promise you. That's right, I 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.160 promise you. I'm not making this up. 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:02.160 But he's a literal monster. 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:03.000 I'm not making this up. 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:04.680 That is slender Man. If you see him in the wood, 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:06.480 it's over. 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:10.080 Officially he is seven to four and Jamrian is officially 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:10.800 seven five. 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.520 Go ahead, an any Mavericks fans, by the way, I'll 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:15.560 be at the MAVs. Given to Mark. 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:20.200 Very nice at all. Right, let's get into news and notes, Patrick, 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:20.919 let's do it. 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.760 We had because we don't have the podcast every day. 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:25.080 We have about to catch up on him. 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.400 Yeah, just talking Cowboys starts at ten o five. 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:29.600 We just catching up. 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:33.039 So first and four mostly start with some transactions. Obviously, 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:36.120 everyone knows the headliners for free agency that are coming 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:39.840 up to George Pickens of the world, Williams. But before 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.919 you get to free agency officially, what you have to 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:46.080 do is decide on which players that are currently under contract, 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.839 your practice squad guys, some of your French players that 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.400 you would like to keep their rights to, and those 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:52.880 are called futures deals. 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:54.599 The future not signing future. 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:58.080 So futures deals were signed effect of last week early 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:01.240 last week, and here are the aims for those players 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:04.719 who whose rights are being controlled by the Cowboys through 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:07.599 training camp, assuming that they are still in the roster 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:10.880 at that point. We got safety Julius Wood, obviously undrafted 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:14.719 guy out of Syracuse, showed some things on the practice squad. 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:18.640 Zion Childress whom we are fans of that in this program, 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.479 Isaiah Land. We would like to see more from Isaiah Land. 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:23.440 He's here to be developed. Some more offensive line in 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:27.320 Marcellus Johnson joined along with Nick Everett at different points 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:30.120 in the season. Paris Campbell, he gets another shot at 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:31.120 developing for him. 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:31.400 Yep. 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.320 Tray Shawn Holding, who we are fans of on this program, 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:37.479 showed some great things in training camp. Didn't necessarily parlay those. 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:40.320 He had a couple of plays in the preseason, but 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.960 as far as. Yeah, he's here all year. 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:45.359 All of these names are like throwing me back to 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:49.520 summer and yeah camp and like watching from the sidelines 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:51.360 in the preseason games, like that's just what all. 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:56.680 This Isah, except for this one. I'm about to. 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:59.280 Say, where the heck is Zion Childress to see if 0:06:59.279 --> 0:06:59.960 I can nail them? 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:05.080 See if I ca nail this Israel, Abana, Kanda, A 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:10.360 band of Canada, the three what I always miss his 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:14.520 name up Yeah, Abandon Canadad. We had this this sodbar 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.560 upstairs where Kyle was telling this funny story each one 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:21.120 of these names, Like you have to commit to learning 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.160 these names, and he's not been hit long enough for 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:27.240 me to have committed to learning the name A Canada. 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:28.600 A bandon Canda, Canada. 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:30.440 I'll get it. Israel, I promise I'll get it. 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:32.360 This here he kind of flews off the tongue. If 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:33.920 you don't really look at it, you're just like a 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:34.240 bit of. 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.800 So proud that he had it nailed down ahead of 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.000 a broadcast that he made sure he said it like 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:41.320 ten times unnecessary. 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:43.880 The thing, I'm surprised that I got it along with 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:45.320 I mean, I know Kyle would get it. 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:45.920 Yeah, you got it. 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.000 But that's the thing is like when you start studying 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.200 these names. And Abandon Canada was a guy in the 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.920 draft that I really out of Pittsburgh. So when I 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:58.000 was doing draft work, and usually right around Senior Bowl combine, 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:00.840 we get like a pronunciation guy or we go and 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:02.880 look it up from the colleges and as they go through, 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:04.960 we sift through it and kind of get the pronunciations 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.440 down for the tough names in the draft. So I 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:09.640 make a point to go in and study that so 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:11.800 that way when they are picked on draft day or 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.920 if they come up in conversation through the draft process, that. 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:15.920 I'm able to hit it. 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.680 But it's even more so imperative when I'm calling a game. 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:21.720 So like these random names that will pop up that 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:25.480 have fifteen syllables and they like have all nothing, no 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:27.720 valves in the entire name, and you got to find 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:29.680 a way to say it the right way, but say 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.080 it in the middle of a play. You have to 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.240 study those names. Isaiah can speak to this. That's been 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.520 one of the big things for you as you've gotten 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.440 higher and higher in this business, even crazier starting next week. 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:42.000 Well, I mean when you get all the syllables that 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.160 are the same in a row, like a horror aura, 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:44.600 you know what. 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:47.760 I mean, Like those names are a bend of candiacy. 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:52.480 I got it the Polynesia. 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:59.160 Phil MafA follow drops, you see, I didn't. 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:00.840 More. 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.360 I was too watching the Bone Temple yesterday. 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.760 That okay, So those guys are going to be your 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.800 futures and just turn it down really quickly again. Your 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:14.680 futures deals are a ban of Canada holding Campbell, Everett, 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:17.920 Marcellus Johnson, Isaiah lan Zion Childers, and Julius Wood. The 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.800 players that did not get four players did not get 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.120 futures deals. They are officially head of the free agency, 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:25.320 but they'll probably be in one way, shape or form. 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:26.880 Some of these will make their way back to training 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.840 camp because we've seen it happen. Princeton Fant, Will Greer, 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:33.760 Jalen Cropper, Ernest Brown not necessarily sure, but Jalen Cropper 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:36.000 tends to stick around, find his way back in training camp. 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:37.719 Princeton fan for a while now. 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:41.400 Yeah, Princeton Fant most certainly does and will Greer because 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:44.080 the Cowboys are still unsettled that backup quarterback. He could 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:45.559 have a shot at at coming back and trying to 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.920 do some things. So those are the transactions. Now on 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:54.640 a not positive note, cowboys had some issues with the law. Okay, 0:09:54.800 --> 0:10:01.360 So rookie defensive end Donovan is Roku, unfortunately was arrested 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:04.280 by Plano police. And what we know is what I'm 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:07.880 going to read you right from Texas Department of Public Safety, Okay, 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:10.000 because in legal matters we only speak of what we know. 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:13.600 We don't speculate at all. At eleven fifty four PM, 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:17.160 a DPS trooper observed vehicle being operated recklessly on the 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:21.920 southbound lanes of the Dallas North Tollway in Plano, Josh 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.800 Modessness because Josh lives in Plano. The trooper initiated a 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.840 traffic stop to investigate, which ultimately led to the arrest 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.240 of the driver, and it lists Donovan Nezroku. 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:31.120 So that's all we know. 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:35.120 We don't know the determination or the reason for the 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:37.480 determination of reckless driving. We don't know, you know, So 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:39.400 we're not going to speculate. Yeah, that's what we know. 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:42.040 Cowboys have not issued a statement on it just yet. 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:45.200 The actually said no comment, no comment via the public 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:46.000 relations department. 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.760 It is a Class B misdemeanor and we'll let that 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:52.920 flesh itself out. My additional concern is an obvious one is, 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.640 of course, that opens the possibility of an NFL probe, 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:58.240 and whenever an NFL probe is opened, that opens the 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:01.000 possibility of a suspension for the next season. So keep 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.280 an eye on that going forward. For Donovan israkl and 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:04.080 I hate to see that. 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.560 Yeah, and just stay safe out there, guys. I don't 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:07.720 know why. 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.200 I mean, it might be fun to drive fast. I 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.079 love driving fast, I love racing, I love all that 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:12.840 kind of stuff, But. 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:14.160 Like, you gotta be safe, man. 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:16.840 Your life's in your hands at that point, and the 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.199 lives of other people are in your hands at that. 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.800 Point too, So we'll see how that that holds. But 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:24.679 you know, the off season is here, and guys just 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:25.480 need to be smart. 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:27.679 And I believe his agent released a statement you can 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.120 go see that online as well, where he basically talked 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.640 about how he's gonna learn from this experience. There's no 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.200 alcohol involved, so all of that is good, but you 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:36.320 still gotta, yeah. 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:39.040 If you're gonna learn, learn from this experience and move forward. 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:42.600 Yeah, young man, We've all been young, We've all made mistakes, 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:44.520 So there's a lot of things. Yeah, we're not gonna Yeah, 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:46.920 we're not gonna get on the holier than dial. The 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.440 good thing is is that no one was hurt. Yeah, 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.920 he can learn his lesson without him or someone else have, 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:55.280 you know, being hurt. Perfect, no alcohol was involved. So 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:58.560 he takes this lesson, he goes forward. We'll see what happens, 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:00.480 and we'll see how the NFL you just to handle. 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:03.240 I was going to say that underneath reckless driving, and 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:04.720 that's what he got arrested for. 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:05.120 Correct. 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:09.520 Yeah, there's excessive speedingcess thirty to forty miles over the 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:11.600 speed limit. So if you're in a seventy you maybe 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:13.920 going one hundred, you're going excessive driving. 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:17.840 I just had driving under the influence. 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:20.679 We just say that he was not under the influence, tailgating, 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:23.120 disregarding traffic senters or stops, and he's on a freeway, 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:27.520 so none of that racing other vehicles, potentially swerving erratically 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:29.600 or making dangerous U turners. Well we're not doing any 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:31.360 U turns on the toll way, so and. 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.360 Swerving and I'm not his So basically he was just 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:36.520 driving fast fast, yeah, yeah, and swerving radically. Could I 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.360 mean that's that's the changing ternament that could be determined 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:39.880 by the trooper. 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:40.600 That's subjective. 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:45.000 Correct trooper determined that if he was fine or cited 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.960 for reckless driving because of that lane change. You know, 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:52.400 we aggressive lane changes happen depending on what city you're from. 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:53.640 Absolutely they happened. 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.880 I desire and if if you're doing aggressive lane change, I. 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:58.640 Saw I saw Patrick do it one this morning. 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:01.360 Whenever he see what I mean when I say, oh, sorry, 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:05.319 I just talk that was quick. 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:11.320 Just talk about stitches, frist co plice. It be your guys, 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:14.720 all right, but now we will see all jokes aside. Thankfully, thankfully, thankfully, 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:17.520 can't stress this, stress this enough. No one was hurt, 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.520 no alcohol was involved. Lesson to be learned here by 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:24.000 the young man. He's, you know, twenty twenty one. He'll 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:26.320 learn from it. And let's see how the NFL handles 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:26.880 handles it. 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:30.760 Yeah, all right, we've got some grades to hand out 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.600 to Oh it's the end of the year. We've now 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:35.320 had a kind of a week to kind of settle 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:38.400 in on what the twenty twenty five season was for Dallas. 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:42.320 Today we're gonna give out our report card grades across 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:44.559 the board. We're gonna just fill out the report card, 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.880 each subject, each position group. But I want to start 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:50.400 in this segment. We got about five minutes here. I'm 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:53.800 gonna start with Brian Schottenheimer. You're one as head coach 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:55.120 in the NFL. 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:57.839 This is a numbered scale or is this is a 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:01.040 through F letter grades. 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:07.040 That's a terrible nickname. 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:12.480 I don't know. It was pretty badass, so it might be. 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:15.520 Eight years later, baby, all right, let me give Shaddy 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.959 a B minus. I feel like, uh, not only did 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:20.600 he have a lot of I mean that the whole 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:21.480 team had a lot of. 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:24.400 Struggles throughout the season. 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:26.920 I mean, of course on the defensive side, but like 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:29.320 the personal side and uh personnel, I mean, if you 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:31.680 I mean look at it, Marshall Neelan. Of course, like 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.240 that happening in the middle of the season was a 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.680 big hurdle to to get through, and you know it 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:39.120 motivated your team obviously through a three game win streak, 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:42.000 which I think is the encapsulation of what you expect. 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:43.880 From Broughton, Brian schein Humber moving forward. 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:46.880 I think that three game stretch told you what you 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:49.880 needed to know, and I think right after that, when 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.080 you know you go up to Detroit and you lose 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:55.120 that game. That kind of it brought you back to 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.040 earth a little bit, you know, because that they're riding 0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:59.600 high on that three game win streak. The second you 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.840 lose that game, it kind of it's indicative of where 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:06.880 the team was really at. You know, you look really 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:08.920 strong in those three games, and then to lose a 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:12.600 must win game in Detroit that kind of showed all 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:16.960 of the bruising and the the true identity of the 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:20.160 personnel that you guys that you had. To me, that 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.280 was that was sort of the nail in the coffin 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:27.080 for the season. However, that three game win streak, Please 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:30.080 reference that going forward in terms of Broughton shut Brant. 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:32.720 That's where you got a build because that felt like 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:36.240 the culture, the personnel, everyone coming together, and that's how 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:38.560 I think the identity of the team will be moving 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:42.200 forward once we have better personnel, better coaching, all those things. 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:45.120 But I think that was the the antithesis of that. 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:48.800 I too, am going to go be minus reasons being 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:51.040 a big portion of that obviously is because the playoffs 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:53.200 were not getting hit right, so you're definitely not getting 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:59.240 a I think that he handled and he handled a 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:03.600 number of storms year obviously, Marsha n Neeland. Obviously, the trade 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:08.240 of your best defensive player, the disgruntleness of another one 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:11.960 of your your other supposed best defensive player, and then 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:13.800 dismissal of him at the end of the season. 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:16.680 And he had a good game against the. 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:23.840 Losing yeah, yeah, one player. Losing two guys. Losing two 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:26.080 guys who are supposed to be huge contributors for your 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:30.480 defense is a lot to bear culturally for your team, 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:32.640 especially for a new coach coming in trying to. 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:35.240 Especially with the brash personalities that they both had. 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:38.360 Absolutely right, So there's a lot of resistance there, right. 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:40.920 So Shotty came out and did his thing on offense, 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:42.760 But when you're the head coach, you're responsible for more 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:46.440 than one third of the game. He I don't believe 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:49.400 that he fully had his imprint on the defense. 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:52.440 As a whole. No, not talking to calling plays. 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:54.720 I'm talking about to the character and identity that he 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:56.760 is trying to embody within this team. I don't think 0:16:56.800 --> 0:17:00.280 that was represented defensively consistently, and I definitely don't think 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:03.520 that what he is, what he stands for, was his 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:06.120 imprint was definitely not there on the special teams unit. 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:08.399 So we started talking about one third of the game. 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:14.080 Was what he envisions this team to be, from the character, 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:17.200 from the competitiveness, from the will and determination. 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:20.760 I is it to be minus minus? 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:23.080 Maybe you know what I'm saying from that regard, because 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:25.639 I believe that as his responsibility to ensure that these 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:27.960 coaches are getting the most out of their players, regardless 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:30.400 of who you have on your roster, that identity should 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:33.600 still be there, that ethos should still show up in 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:36.280 all aspects of the game. You might not be as successful, 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:39.920 but you should know that. Okay, that's still a shoddy team, 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:42.679 right or that's still a whatever type of team. So 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:47.119 I'm probably gonna be minus minus in that regard. He 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:49.239 handled the Storms, did not make the playoffs, and did 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.160 not show the character of the team through two thirds 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:53.200 of the phase of the game. 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:56.639 So I'm be minus minus. I was close to be minus. 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.520
