I 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:07.760 gotta look at it. Jostin's by the way, I don't 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:09.800 know if you guys know, but Johnston makes all a 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:13.480 whole bunch of championship rings NCAA. They're right here in town. Wow, 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:16.320 They're located right here in the metroplex. So so I 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:18.280 need I need to find that. We go over there. Man. 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.200 It just just look because I never got myself a 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:22.799 wedding band for my wife, so I need to go 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:25.760 over there and just get a wedding band. Man, Yeah, no, 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.560 they make some. I'm gonna get man to you guys 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:32.280 ask my question. Well, okay, we'll dive into that. So 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.360 heck man I where it was? Hecks. I d say, hey, man, 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:37.359 let's see if Nate can come on. Mary Church, Danny McCray. 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:39.200 I'm like, yeah, yeah, Nate's got the show before, so 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.480 let's bring Nate in here. And I immediately said, I 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.000 want to dive into your expertise. So here we are 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:47.239 six games into the season. The Cowboys are forty two, 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.160 third place at the NFC East. Right now, you got 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:52.120 undefeated Philadelphia on top. Giants lost one game there in 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.360 second place, Cowboys the third even though they beat the Giants. 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:59.520 Give me grades right now. Six games in. For the 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:05.400 offensive lineman, let's start with left tackle Tyler Smith. I 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:12.160 think he's a B plus because and I'm greating him easy, 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:17.239 very easy, because what I saw from training camp. He's 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:21.240 much better what I've saw what he's learned, especially to 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:23.840 the inside move. I was so weary. I thought this 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.560 problem would be outside with the holding, but he was 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:30.320 acceptable to the inside move. He's cut that down a lot. 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:33.359 He's cut down his miss blocks of not knowing who 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.680 to get. He's he's gotten much better on that. So 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:39.560 I give him like a B plus, a B plus, 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.680 and that's high. That's high because I really want to 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:45.400 say a B. You know, I really want to say 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:47.720 a B, but a B plus because his effort is great. 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:51.320 Is effort is great. What he asked to the run game, man, 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:53.200 I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go, Nate, you get him 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:54.800 a B plus, I'm gonna have to go B plus. 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:56.600 I think with the pressure that was on this young 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:58.920 man starting the first game of the season, I think 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:01.560 the expectation was very low, especially from the way that 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:06.320 he looked at guard. I don't think nobody trusted him 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:10.000 at the guard position. But then booting him out to 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:11.920 the left tackle, I thought he did a really good job. 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.560 I mean, and I think I don't know the exact numbers. 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:18.000 Maybe two sacks that he's giving up, maybe it's definitely 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:21.400 more than that, but three sacks, but he's in those 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:24.720 sacks have come versed the best in the business. So 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:26.760 I think he's handled this business. I think he's looked 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:30.000 really solid and run and so I'm gonna go B 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:33.200 plus as well. I think about my fear. And we 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.520 you and I spoke about this training camp, is okay, 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:38.120 do you just leave him at one spot? You're gonna 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.000 try and cross training and you and I said, look, 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:41.600 just leaving the spot, just leaving with the guard. They 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.920 left him at guard. And he didn't get any reps 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:48.040 at all during training camp for preseason games at left tackle. 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:50.280 And we're not talking about him a whole lot here. 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.960 We're not talking about Tyler Smith a whole lot, which 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.159 to me, heck, that's isn't that the story? But we 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.560 don't hear about you when we're not talking about you. 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:01.320 You're doing good? Yeah, Oh he got he got beat up. 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.520 He got beat by Aaron Donald. Uh yeah, everybody. I mean, 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:08.040 you know, let's got one hundred second. Let's just long here. 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:12.200 That is why he That is why you have to 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:16.600 play the game. Because I said on our show before 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:19.320 the pre game, and I did, and I told everybody 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.719 what was gonna happen. I say, went when he moved, 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:23.880 he got to play him for the pot for the 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.159 bull rush. I would have made him run over me, 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.560 I said, Westcomb kill this kid at the left tackle. 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:33.080 When he see Aaron Donald all six foot one of him, 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.800 two hundred and eighty pounds, he not gonna respect his speed. 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:41.560 His first four steps are lightning and that's what caught him, 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:46.479 not once, but twice. Danny figured it out. Yes, so 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:51.159 let's stay at the left tackle position. Gave Tyler Smith 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:55.400 the B plus both of you. Jerry spoke favorably about 0:05:55.560 --> 0:06:00.080 Tyrann Smith, huh, saying he's getting healthy, and Jerry, he 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:04.239 has spoken about Tyron Smith coming back in December. Here's 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.760 a team that's playing good football right now. Nate, how 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:10.120 do you handle that position? If it comes December and 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:13.000 Tyren Smith comes and says and the train saying it's 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:14.600 medically clear to go, he's ready to play. What do 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.640 you do. I'm gonna let coach Fieldman figure out what 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:21.520 you can't he play another position because Tyler Smith gonna 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:25.680 stay mine. It comes upoint in your life where this 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.120 guy is healthy, he is not banged up. I can 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:31.120 see if Tyler Smith was nursing something and he said, okay, yeah, 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:34.279 we got the perfect replacement. But if he ain't nursing nothing, 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.680 he'd feel one hundred percent I ain't playing those games. 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.719 I don't play offensive line games. If you've shown me 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:41.560 that you were my future and you were doing it 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.400 on a high level, b are better. I ain't changing you. 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:49.599 I can live with your faults. Heck, you know, Look, 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.479 it's hard for me to argue with Nate on anything. Man, 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.880 I just want to say that, Look, the future is now, 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.159 and I think for the last couple of seasons we've 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:03.160 been thinking that Tyren Smith, we knew that he was 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:05.320 gonna miss a few games, and we just would live 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.279 with that. So the swing tackle position became that much 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:10.800 more important. The conversation about who is the swing tackle 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.640 became that much more important. Now we're not talking about 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:16.960 that because I believe everybody is confident in Tyler Smith 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:19.200 and what he's doing. I'm with you, Nate on that. 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:21.840 Let's find out if Tyren Smith is willing to play 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.800 another position. Can't he go inside to guard? Can't he 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:28.120 go out to right tackle? That's That's what I'm thinking 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.960 right now, because we got the guy. So this makes 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:32.760 me to ask the next question I put it to you. Heck, 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:38.400 is this a Romo Dak type situation at the left 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.640 tackle spot? Where here it was with Tony Romo and 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:45.280 he was just getting hurt on routine plays. Here comes Dak. 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.880 You get on a role and you clearly see this 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.240 is the future, and they decided to actually stay with 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:52.880 Dak Prescott. Are we seeing the same thing at left tackle? No. 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:54.640 I think the writing's been on the wall at the 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.360 left tackle position for years, for a lot of years. 0:07:57.360 --> 0:07:59.280 So I think we've been having, like I said, the 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.480 swing tackle position. People were ticked off that in the 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:05.160 in the draft that we got Micah uh if we 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:07.320 didn't get a cornerback, that we didn't get one of 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:10.680 those other tackles that was in that draft, the slater 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:12.680 and the guy that we're gonna see, Yeah, and we 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.600 guy that we're gonna see from Detroit. I mean, there's there. 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:18.559 There had been opportunities for the Dallas Cowboys to get 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:21.040 a left tackle and we passed on him. We didn't 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:23.400 go out in free agency and get any left tackles. 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:26.120 We hadn't Inseci and guys like that for years and years, 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:30.160 knowing that the durability of our left tackle was always 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.199 in question. That I think we hit paid. We hit 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:35.200 gold with Tyler Smith, and you know, we should a 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:37.960 lot like ny said, let's not mess with the continuity, uh, 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:42.400 and mess with his head. He's our left tackle going forward, man, 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:44.760 he said, he said a mouthful, bro I'm rolling with 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:53.400 you there. The only reason we are four and two 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:57.520 set up perfect for Dak is because our defense number 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:02.160 one consistency in the offensive line, number two in the 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:06.199 run game. That is a manufacturer from Zeke Poler in 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:11.240 the offensive line. Three. Okay, so left tackle Tyrean Smith, 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:13.920 a B plus grade is given. Now let's move over 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:18.440 to the right tackle spot, Terrence Steel, go C plus 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:26.679 B plus. If it was just a running game, if 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.360 you didn't have to pass none, I would give him 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:32.120 an A. But I gotta give him a C plus. 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:35.160 He's a great run block and he would kill you. 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.120 Spend it on duce blocks with the right guard, Oh, 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:42.040 he would crush you. But when it comes to just 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:44.640 if we have to throw that ball back to back 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:49.280 to back, C plus back, and I'm gonna, you know what, 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.000 I just to change it up from what Nate said 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.840 right because I can't do this whole thing right behind Nate, 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:56.040 I'm gonna go be minus. And the reason I gonna 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:57.800 be minus on him, I think back to what you 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.800 were talking about before, We're really not talking about Terrence 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:04.120 Steele other than penalties. You know, that's your bugga boo 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:06.880 with him, is he gets penalized way too much. I 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:09.240 think he's been solid in the running game and he 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:12.520 really hasn't been our Achilles Hill in the passing game 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.439 as much. So I'm gonna go be minus with him. 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:18.840 And you know, I think he just him like Tyler Smith, 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.760 He's just as gonna get better as the more reps 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:23.880 he gets in, the longer he stays in the starting rotation. 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:31.000 So we spoke about Tyrn Smith and we've said Tyren 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:33.200 Smith stays at left tackle. That's where you guys both 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:35.679 I mean the Tyler Smith stays left tackle the rookie. 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:40.000 So if you're giving that type of grade to Terrence Steele, 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:44.439 do you entertain putting Tyron Smith at right tackle a 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.360 position then he started off as a rookie with the Cowboys. 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.360 I would entertain that. And the reason I would entertain 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:52.800 that is just draft. How we drafted the player that 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:54.559 we're talking We got one it's a first round pick 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:57.079 and the other one that said an undrafted free agent. 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:01.040 I would still entertain even the left guard position because 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:04.000 I still don't believe that. We feel as though we've 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:06.880 solidified the position, although karam a government is doing a 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.720 decent job. I would look to see if that he'd 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:12.839 have any interest in that or at right tackle. I 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:15.120 wouldn't make it a competition. He make the decision to 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:18.160 go with it, and that's where I stay. That's the 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.520 last thing you said I agree with. I don't play 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:24.920 this play a little bit, now get it. If you 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:28.120 can go line up, put him at right tackle. We've 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:33.200 seen him successful there. Let him play right tackle every snap. 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:35.600 Stop with this ramp up. I don't know where that 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.959 foolishness thing came. They get your quarterback hurt, they get 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.520 your running backs out of the way. Put him at 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:44.360 right tackle. That's the only place I will entertain him 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:49.839 at this time. At right tackle. Okay, left guard. See see, 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:53.480 he's a guy that gives you great effort. Yes, he 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:58.400 gives you great effort. He knows who to block, he 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:02.240 gives you maximum effort. He's gonna play hard all the time. 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:05.600 I give him a C C. Yeah, I'm not gonna 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:07.600 give him a felling grade. I'm gonna go see minus 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:11.079 for Connor mc governor. It's just man we just need 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:13.920 as much as we have. And it's not fair to 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:17.520 judge anybody with Zack Martin. It's just that you want 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:21.240 to have that kind of power at your left guard 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:24.240 position again. And he has held his own trust me 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:28.839 versus the commanders. He got bull rushed to death and 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:32.000 he stood in there. He did he did a good job. 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:34.360 But you know, I still gotta give him a C 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:40.600 minus all right, center position. See, same guy. He's gonna 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:43.400 give you all the guys. He's gonna be susceptulus to 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:47.319 the bull rush. And then once you get him leaning, 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:51.800 any quick moves, snatch grab, gonna get him. So Ce 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:57.199 Tyler bar C, I'm you know what, after seeing Kelsey 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:00.840 from the Eagles, I gotta give him my f man. Know, 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:08.160 I just man, I gotta what you're talking about? All world? 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:11.120 I know average, Yes, I know, man. It is him 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:14.040 where he's at, right, I'm just had to go. This 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:18.360 is Christ comes. We meet them where they're at, meeting 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:22.320 where they're at, all right, Ce minus D plus all right? 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:26.760 All right, he brought you brought the Christ in two. 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:32.040 It's all by the upgrading players. Heck, but you said 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.000 something yesterday. I want Nate to jump in on it, 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:37.960 and and heck was spoke about how Connor Williams left 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:41.680 goes to center with the Miami Dolphins and he is 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:45.520 excelling there and you are and you had a guy 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:48.640 that you were actually bringing in centers and talking about 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:52.680 it here. So okay, the looks given me my answer. 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.439 How does this happen? I guess that's my next question. Nick. 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:03.440 We made a big mistake somewhere in the communication, somewhere 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:08.199 in teaching our techniques. We didn't help this kid. The 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:12.120 season is still not over, and the first game of 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:16.040 the year for Miami. I was glued to the TV 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:18.680 to one person and I was the center. My wife, 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:20.880 why are you watching this game so hard? I see 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:25.520 it because it Connor goal to Miami and b I 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:30.080 above average center. That's gonna that's and I know we 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:33.400 don't care once they leave those people over there, once 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:36.560 they leave the building, not our problem. But you got 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:38.880 to look back and say where if you're going to 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:44.280 be a better coach, a better a better scout scouting director, 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.520 you gotta say, whether we go wrong, we picked the 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:51.760 right guy, but whether we go wrong, yeah, you got 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:55.040 to where does that fall? Is that? Joe Filling the 0:14:55.080 --> 0:15:00.040 offensive line coach? Is it head coach White McCarthy And 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:06.080 could this regime have because I asked about Dorin's armstrong ones, 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:10.800 why are we seeing this? And they and I was 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:13.520 told by someone who was with the new regime, Well, 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.440 we were told he was just a special teams guy. 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.160 He's gotten opportunities and he's been able to do more. 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.920 So boom along the way. He had to play. We 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:26.160 played him and he took off. How does that miss? 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.360 I mean? And organizations do this? You know, not the 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:32.040 first I mean the Steelers cut Johnny and Nitis. You 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:35.000 can miss, you can miss. So so how does that happen? 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:37.760 And what do you do to fix it? To replicate that, 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:41.760 you have to always have an open mind and more importantly, 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:47.520 don't be a coach that say you have a plan 0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:51.280 for a player. Dan Quinn what impressed me about him 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.560 when I first met him? I said, coach, you went 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:56.320 out and got Bohanna, and you went out and you 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:59.160 got this guy. You already got Gallimore. How do you 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:03.840 see these guys? He said, My plan for them is this, this, this, 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:07.360 and this, And then he told me about other guys 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:11.560 my plan for the and he used them in training 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:15.280 camp how he said, he used them when we used 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:18.960 to do preseason games the way he said, so when 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:24.440 games came, whether they excelled at how he wanted them to, 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:28.920 they were used in that way. We I remember Dance 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:33.200 Armstrong coming from Kansas, Am I correct, Yes, he was 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:35.520 a penetrator. He was a guy that went up field. 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:39.160 They changed coaching staffs and made him a two gapper. 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.720 They said, the old Regiam said, we're gonna give him 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:49.600 the chance to get back up field. We never saw it, man. Look, yeah, 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.720 now it's a big difference. And I guess specifically, I 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:56.160 would say it comes down to coaching. You know, Filing 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:59.080 has had a tough, tough goal since he's been here, 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:03.120 and I think to disconnect maybe with Connor was one 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:06.240 that you could point to. Uh, But I just I 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:08.479 gotta give him. I gotta give him credit, you know, 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:11.240 because he's right at the ship, and I think he's 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:14.000 had success with guys like Terren Steele, and he's had 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:17.240 success with Tyler Smith, and so you know, the media 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:19.640 does such a good job of tarrying these coaches down 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:22.000 when they make a mistake. But you gotta give him, 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:23.679 you gotta give him his flowers when he writes the 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:25.520 ship and I think he did that with this this group. 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.840 Oh and today's professional football. If you need to hit 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:31.840 one spot correctly, it's the tackles. Yeah, can you can? 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:34.040 You can? You can maneuver and make some things happen. 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:38.600 With a center tackles, you gotta be good. I don't 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:43.200 agree with that, okay, because I promise you if we 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.000 go get that. Moster that sits in Philadelphia is stick 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:52.080 him in the middle of our office line. No more words, none, whatsoever. 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:56.280 He sets a tone a second to none. When you 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:59.200 have a center and a left guard, I mean left 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:01.919 tackle you. I was a center in a dominant right tackle. 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:06.119 You can set the tone. Explain the fans how you 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:10.840 set the tonead My job as a guard are a center, 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:14.240 is to protect my tackles. And what I mean by 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:18.320 that right there is allowed them to set where everything 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:21.680 loops around outside. And the way I do that right 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:25.000 there is not have a soft metal if I can. 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:27.320 If you hit me, even with a bullrush, and I 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:30.679 can stop you within three yards, Now my quarterback can 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:33.760 step up because he's already sitting seven yards, he can 0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:36.399 step up three yards. Moved to us right, moved to 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:39.240 his left. But if you're pushing me back on top 0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:42.800 of my quarterback, now he cannot step up. Now, these 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:46.280 defensive ends got a direct bee line to you. Either 0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:50.600 quick move out and inside like Michael Parson does a lot, 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:55.400 you can't escape. But if me, I used to tell 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:58.720 my coach Tony Wise, y'all paying to it and Eric 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:00.960 all his money and how to set the table for 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:05.480 these cats. I gotta keep this pocket deep. That's my 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:08.359 job is to keep the pocket deep. That's why I 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:13.160 give seeds to our left, card and center because they can't. 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:16.680 They don't always give our tackles to run around. We 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:21.919 need to run around. It's good stuff back there, man, bars, 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:25.200 that's good stuff. You know what. Let's go hit a 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:28.800 break on now. I need I need to let people 0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:32.000 need to marinate on.

Come 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:41.120 on here a that come on now? Yeah, I saw 0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:42.600 a couple of times. I know he was going against 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:45.720 flesher car.
