I know y'all been talking about it all 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:12.280 week long, y'all, and I I gotta ask y'allself because 0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:16.240 I know it's been one hell of a week after Buffalo. 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:20.280 It's like, hey, it's like Joe Dash Jeans in the eighties. Alone. Man, 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:25.680 you know you got that. 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:30.440 Okay, it's for real be coming off a loss and 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:31.840 I haven't been able to talk to y'allo. 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:33.479 Now I got you in my face. I won't talk 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:35.840 to you about it. Jesse. What has it been like after. 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:39.440 Getting your rebuilding vot run to get ready for this 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:41.119 Miami Dolphins day? 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:43.839 You know, as from a player's perspective, you think about, 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.120 all right, you come in and you face the music 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:48.640 on Monday, and those are the films that you never 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:50.840 want to watch because you know, at some point in 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:54.800 time you're gonna be on the big screen like Summer Jam, 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:55.960 and it's gonna. 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:57.080 Be, it's gonna be. 0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:00.240 It's not gonna be good right like and and and 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.680 it's in those moments you kind of hope that maybe 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:06.480 you saying, would stand two other bad plays ahead of 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:08.800 you or behind you so that they don't stay on 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:12.760 you too long. But you know, and it's for guys 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:16.760 in my position. Coaches always coach through the lesser of 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:21.080 the players, right, so when the stars make a mistake, 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:24.880 they don't really get too doll cussed. But let my 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.120 mistake happen, they gonna coach through me. 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.959 Jesse, what the hell are you doing? You and I'm like, no, 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:32.080 he did the same thing. 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:34.160 But you don't say that to the stars. You coach 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:37.320 through the lesser players. So a lot of times in 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:40.079 these meetings, the star they'll get kind of called out 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.519 a little bit, But it's the others that really get 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.560 doll cuss in these meetings because that's just the nature 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:46.960 of the beast. 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.040 And let let me add on to that, and I 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.440 give a perfect nine route. When you take that nine route, 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:55.480 you always want to leave a little space. Yeah, so 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:59.240 if ceedee, lamb, run right here, cde, what we need 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.640 for you to do is leave a little space to 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:03.959 work with a quarterback. But if it's just man, what 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.440 that's why we don't play you along because you can't. 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.240 You know, That's what we got the red line on 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:12.200 the practice field about. 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:13.560 You got to stay and get a quarterback. 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:19.480 You're like, come on, man, but coach, coach, do the 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:20.040 lesson player. 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.960 The cultural reference of being on the summer jam screen. Really, 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:29.320 I can't think nothing else. I'm prodigy ballet outfit. But hey, 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:30.840 you don't want to get caught like that. And that 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:32.800 is what that film session look like. But I'm telling 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:34.880 you had to get through that week because I think 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.680 it caught everybody off guard. You no way you expected 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:40.760 to go in the Buffalo, get beat up the way 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.160 that you did, and obviously go through this week and 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:45.720 have the analysis that you've had all week talking about 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.920 that loss, and then Mike McDaniel's how great he is 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:52.240 and what this running game can be like when you 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:55.360 get to Miami. But Nate for you as you as 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:57.320 you look at this defense. You've talked about this defense 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:00.080 this whole time. What is this defense to what they 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:03.360 have to do better? Obviously in which department to get 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:04.000 this thing style? 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:10.440 It's all about your gaps. You. I could accept what 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.680 happened with the Carginals, Okay, we will hot. 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:16.240 We we finn to be the number one defense in 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:17.279 the league. 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:21.240 We okay. Then we go up a few weeks later 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:22.440 we see the forty nine. 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:25.840 Oh the eye candy da da dah? What was that 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:31.920 Week fourteen? All of that is behind us. No more tricks, 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:34.960 no more this. Now it's about how bad do you 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:37.800 want it? If you're supposed to be in the A gap, 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.760 Play the A gap. I don't care what you thought 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:44.840 you saw. Play the A gap, A B C. Play 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:47.520 your gap, because if you don't stop the run. See 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:50.200 this thing is set up with Tyreek Hill and then 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:54.039 it comes inside. If you don't when they come inside, 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.200 if you don't stop it, it's all over. 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:57.960 Game over. Play your gaps. 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.880 I'm worried about our defensive line play in their gaps 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.280 and giving our small linebackers a. 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:04.320 Chance to make plays. 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:06.640 So you're saying you saw a lot of guys freelancing, 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:07.400 doing their own. 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:11.600 Thing, And that's the. 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.839 Gift and the curse of talent. Yes, right, Because when you. 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.920 When you have a certain level of talent, and I 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:22.599 like to believe that this Cowboys defense is literate with 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.960 a bunch of talented dudes, a lot of times you 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:30.440 rely strictly on your talent, and when your talent has 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.839 had some success, you kind of go to that well 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:40.279 again and you don't have the precision that you need, 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:43.400 the attention the detail that you need on assignment. And 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.120 I think that's the biggest thing when you look at 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:49.479 this defense. When this defense is really knocked over the head, 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:54.960 it's the talented dudes not being attention to detail in 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:56.720 the moments and areas that they need to. 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:57.680 Be attention to detail. 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:01.080 They use their talent, and that sometimes can throw you 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:03.560 off because yeah you're faster, Yeah you may be stronger, 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:05.479 but if you jump out this gap this time and 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.680 they catch you, they hit, they handle the goal post 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:10.800 for a touchdown. And I think that's the biggest thing 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:14.200 is that I can't have. We said on our show, 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.640 I can't have eleven Batman's. I just can't. I just 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:22.000 can't have eleven Batman's one Batman. I need the rest 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.040 of y'all to be Robbins. I need the rest of 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:26.080 y'all to do what you're supposed to do and sometimes 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:27.080 say Batman and. 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.120 Let's that's okay. I don't want to say role play, 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:30.719 but just at least know your role. 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:36.160 Fine, it's fine, it's fine. I know I'm talking. 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:44.760 This is the deal, ain't this is the deal. Let's 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:50.599 let's be frank here. There's only one superstar on the defense, 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:54.839 and the rest of them are role players. Diggs is hurt. 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.159 That was your other closest things to a superstar. Mike 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:03.520 or Parsons is a past rushing superstar. The rest of 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:06.279 these guys are role players. 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:09.359 Play your role, do your job. 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:14.200 I promise you, Clark, if you did not learn to 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:15.520 be where you're supposed to be. 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:19.680 You would get deposited again. Play your role. 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:26.840 This is one thing I learned when I played. Yeah, boy, 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:28.680 remember that boy fell in the middle of the chess 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:30.000 and Jim Broden head around there. 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.360 Yeah, listen to this, y'all. 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:41.560 Mike Irving, Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman, slightly j Noble, check 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:43.880 the rest of us it. 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:49.200 Eric Williams got there was just guys who played well, 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:53.200 who played in their role in and relished their role. 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.880 You don't have and in the day's. 0:07:56.360 --> 0:08:00.440 Sarah Cap Okay, let the money dig tell who the 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:01.120 players are. 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:03.680 He but one of them and he ain't got paid yet. 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:04.680 Hutton is injured. 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:08.080 This something you know, when I and I make a 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:10.720 basketball reference. When I'm watching basketball with my son, I'm 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:12.800 always telling them, I'm like, you have no idea, you've 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:14.640 never seen basketball before. 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:17.800 This brand of basketball that I'm looking at, This ain't it. 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:20.880 These guys are five seconds into the shot clock and 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:23.600 they've they're already taking shots already. 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:26.000 You know, and it's moving that fast. 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:28.160 And so when when you say role players, I think 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:30.440 back to those times when you watch the NBA and 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:33.280 there were guys that their sole job. Dennis Rodman's sole 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:38.560 job was to get rebounds, play defense. If Dennis Rodman 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:42.440 shot at three at any point at any time, it 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:43.880 was prout, the game was over. 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.000 In the half. He just so happened to have the 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:51.120 ball in his head. But when you talk about role 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:51.800 players from a. 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:57.280 NFL standpoint today, it seemed like those things are thrown 0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:01.400 off because you got everybody wanting to play Batman specifically 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.959 who on this defense, and you said, look, your role 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:09.319 has to be this and only this. 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:10.600 Don't get out of that role. 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:13.800 I mean we can go down and we can name 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:18.760 guys for guys and is that fair? Is that not fair? 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:19.920 Yes? 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:24.840 The one thing that you look at and we'll stick defensively, 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:30.000 is this is another gift in the curse of having 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:33.160 that star on your helmet. Everybody wants to be in 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:36.559 that number, right, Everybody wants to be this. Everybody's about 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:39.360 their brand. This is a brand. This is a brand, 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:42.560 and everybody wants to be a part of that brand. 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.800 So the brand is not being the role player. 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.600 There's no there's no money in the role play, there's 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:52.599 no attention in the role play, there's no So everybody 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:56.200 find themselves kind of wanting to do and overstep their 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:57.600 boundaries and. 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:03.439 So if he had guys that was just like. 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.440 Man, I'm just gonna hold up this gap. I'm just 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:08.480 gonna hold up this gap. Well, I'm just gonna play 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:09.679 this leverage. I'm gonna do it. 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:12.680 Then you allow your defense to be better. 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:13.600 And this is. 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.720 Football is a fluid game. Week by week, things change, 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:22.720 things happen. In the Buffalo situation, there were a lot 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:26.280 of guys who were not properly placed, that should have 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:29.080 been properly placed and had no business in areas that 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:32.240 they were in. But because you look around and a 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:36.360 guy says, well, the avalanche is coming, I want to 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:39.480 make a play to kind of stop the bleeding. You 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:42.320 jump out of your gap. You're not in the right situation. 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:46.000 Now the avalanche continues, the bleeding continues. 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.680 How else do you trust Let's say, if you're talking 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:51.080 about a safety or safety is in particular all right, 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:53.320 how else do you trust that if you have to 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:56.560 play a particular style of defense because of your batman, 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.480 you're gonna be singled up on the backside a lot 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.000 of times with your free safety and he's gonna be 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.240 one on one with the running back and he has 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:05.600 to make that tackle. 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:07.880 Is that specifically him Okay. 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.480 Yeah, like and you know that in film, say, hey, 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.000 when they come backside, it's you and him and not. 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:17.080 But that's when that's the mentality of Okay, if I 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:19.120 get run over, do I make the tackle? 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:19.920 Right? 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:22.560 I just have to be there. I have to be 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.160 right in what I'm supposed to do. If the outcome 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.760 is me getting him down for either a short gain 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:32.800 or no gain or small game, then cool, I've done 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:35.760 my part. But it's when you're supposed to be in 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:39.400 the situation, in the area and that's supposed to be you, 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:41.760 and that turns into now a big game because you 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:44.480 did not do the assitement that you were assigned to do. 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.000 How can we play football? How can we have a 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:53.040 successful football play if the guys who are supposed to 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:54.800 be there aren't there? 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:57.319 Nate, I just. 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:04.640 This thing is so big now it's December football, and Jesse, 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:07.480 you know, you know all of us that's played in 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:11.160 some type of college football. Understand you know you're getting 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:13.840 your some position for a bowl game, a playoff run 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:18.080 or something special. This lady, and if you don't care 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.559 enough about your teammates, and I said the other night, 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:24.400 I'm about tired of we need to learn. 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:25.480 We need to get it together. 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:27.000 It's just do your job. 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:30.800 Stop being selfish. 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:34.160 When you see that you give up two hundred and 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:37.600 sixty six yards of Russian, one hundred and ninety yards 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:41.079 of Russian, one hundred and seventy yards of Russian, two 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:42.560 hundred and twenty yards of Russian. 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:47.359 All of these are losses because you decided to be selfish. 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:52.320 You're not helping your team, you know, Jesse said. One 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:56.320 thing I agree with. Okay, we heard Oldsa say last week, 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:59.200 we have six and a half guys in the box. 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:03.840 Won't seventh guy come on down, Come on down, join 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:04.440 the party. 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:10.520 Man, get bloody, like Jesse said, get ran over, do something. 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:14.160 Grab this guy, scrawl for a libit of game so 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:15.719 we can have a third and. 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.680 Six instead of a third instead of third and one. 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:22.560 Do your job. These guys don't care. 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.680 Let me ask you this. I mean because you you are. 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:30.480 You have played on Super Bowl winning teams, so and 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.400 I would never dare compare any of those teams to 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:37.640 the current Dallas Cowboys. But what I do see is 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:42.680 the narrative from playing against tough San Francisco team. Yes, okay, 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:44.920 and Inet, I asked you about this in ninety four, 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.920 y'all got disqualified, y'all got put out of the playoff 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:51.400 by me up out of the players, by San Francisco 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.000 he Candlestick Park, and then in ninety five during the 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:55.679 regular season they beat you again. 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:58.160 Yes, kind of reminiscent to what they want nothing else 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:00.520 to do with them. But this is this is the 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:02.800 same thing that this year's Dallas Cowboys. 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.040 It's if you think about it, they're dealing with this 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:08.480 kind of the same thing that with the San Francisco 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:12.280 forty nine ers being there bumping the road. Basically, how 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:15.040 did y'all, especially in that ninety five that Super Bowl 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:16.760 thirty team, how did y'all get to the end of 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:18.920 that season to say, all right, we can make a 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:22.520 run now, especially after those losses y'all lost to the Commanders, 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:25.840 which were the Washington Okay, you lost of those teams twice, 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:29.840 lost in Philly. Uh yep, went twelve or four that season. 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:31.800 But what was the turn of the page that took 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:33.800 you'all to the championship?

I believe that was I'm making you 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:55.280 relive it said, that's. 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:57.200 Okay, we won a Super Bowl. I did, I did, 0:18:57.240 --> 0:18:58.720 But it's hearly familiar. 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:01.040 That season coming back back off of two twelve and 0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:03.679 four seasons, this team coming off of two twelve and 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:06.359 fives find themselves smack dab in the middle of the 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:08.639 playoff hunt. But what was the difference in that team 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:11.199 when you look back over there, what y'all had to 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:13.879 do to get over that hump, to get that momentum 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:16.720 to win that super Bowl. First of all, the coach 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:20.200 Buller's in and told us, hey, fellas, we just got 0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:24.399 beat by a good a good team. Second of all, 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:28.560 we had and like I said this on cross Talk, 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:31.760 I don't know what go on over there in their building. 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:34.720 I don't know who their leaders are, who their top 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:37.679 dogs are, how far there each player has been in 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:41.119 the playoffs, and what's their mindset. But our mindset was 0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:44.840 a little bit different. Okay, we know we were equal 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:48.280 to the forty nine ers. We had played them head ahead, 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:52.120 and somehow they had snatched the momentum from us from. 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:53.000 That year before. 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:56.119 People say, oh, well they cheated, we didn't go But 0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:57.520 back then we didn't cheat. 0:19:57.800 --> 0:19:59.000 That don't work for us. 0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:02.720 We were winning. We needed to win. They beat us again, 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:06.240 and now some doubt creeps in. But what not what 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:09.320 didn't happen was our ability to go out there and 0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:13.480 work on that field, our ability to study that film, that. 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:15.400 Ability to say, hey, everyone can say. 0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:18.040 Hey, Nate, man, I'm gonna watch some extra film doing lunch. 0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:21.320 Charles Hayter say, hey, Russ, what you doing for lunch? 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:22.520 Okay? I meet you in there to. 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:26.600 Watch some film. Hey man, Nah, you lined up wrong. 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:28.959 This is where you need to be. Hey, Nate, can 0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:31.959 you give me a better look on this field because 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:34.440 this is what this guy liked to do. Hey, Charles, 0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:36.320 he don't do it like that. Can I get some 0:20:36.359 --> 0:20:38.960 of you after the ability today out on the field. 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:41.399 I don't need you in the locker room sleep today. 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:43.679 I need to get you out on the field. Okay, 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:46.840 big noon. If you need me, I'm out there. Hey Nate, 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:49.679 you need to come get on the stepper today. We 0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:52.119 need to get some of this fatness. I'm serious. I'm 0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:55.360 being honest. How we talked to one another, how we 0:20:55.440 --> 0:20:58.840 held one another accountable. So it didn't come down to Jimmy. 0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:02.080 It didn't come down to one stat it didn't come 0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:06.359 down to North Turner. It came down to what these guys, 0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:09.600 these seven or eight guys, believe that we could do. 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:16.320 If I'm in today's society. Everybody looks at they said, 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:20.560 Jesse does several shows and he looks at himself to 0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:23.200 make sure that he's not saying the wrong thing or 0:21:23.240 --> 0:21:26.119 putting things in the wrong content. These guys over here 0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:30.960 got several look at yourself. Look look and see how 0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:33.879 you sound after a game, and then look at the 0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:38.200 film and see does it match your intensity, match what 0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:43.399 you're saying. It's a big gap. It's a big gap. 0:21:44.040 --> 0:21:48.639 It comes a point not only for quarterbacks when when 0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:50.360 you say, hey, quarterback is seeing everything. 0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:56.440 This is Parson going on fourth year.

De Troy been talking 0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:16.720 to me. Hey, Nate, look at here A right low left, 0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:21.840 I right tight end? Why option to the left? Hey man, 0:22:22.400 --> 0:22:24.560 we're gonna do this, Nate. And it's a hard too, 0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:29.120 Blue thirty nine, Blue thirty nine. Nate understand hard too, 0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:32.480 But it's going on three. I'm gonna say hut hut, 0:22:33.119 --> 0:22:34.400 and then we're gonna snap the ball. 0:22:34.840 --> 0:22:37.920 Now. For a while, they it was just like that. 0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:40.920 People are like, oh, Nate got leave you yeah, yeah, 0:22:40.960 --> 0:22:42.960 oh yeah, but I got three Super Bowl ras yeah. 0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:47.760 Oh yeah, Nate said, I'm saying, are these guys that 0:22:47.880 --> 0:22:51.320 I don't know what they're doing over there? And I'm 0:22:51.359 --> 0:22:54.600 not saying they don't do that, but seemed like to me, 0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:58.520 somebody gotta say, you know what, never again two hundred 0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:00.639 and sixty six yards. That's why I asked you to 0:23:00.640 --> 0:23:03.560 do that. No, no, no, and I and I appreciate that, man, 0:23:03.880 --> 0:23:06.440 because I feel like what we were talking about off 0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:11.080 air is players policing themselves. And that's where I think 0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:13.720 the biggest question where you guys are, because when you 0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:17.120 see certain things come out in the media, it reeks 0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:20.639 of who y'all talking to, even if y'all talking to 0:23:20.680 --> 0:23:23.840 each other, Am I you know down your street? 0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:24.119 On this? 0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:27.800 No, I'm I mean, I'll give you an example, and 0:23:27.880 --> 0:23:33.000 this is it happened earlier this year, right, and it 0:23:33.080 --> 0:23:35.000 happens on the it happened on the offensive side of 0:23:35.000 --> 0:23:38.680 the ball. We watched CD lamb out on the field. 0:23:39.280 --> 0:23:41.840 We watched him kind of upset on the field, yes, 0:23:42.080 --> 0:23:46.840 and then we watched him for weeks sublimately say things 0:23:46.880 --> 0:23:52.760 throughout the media. Right, you were in the same damn 0:23:52.760 --> 0:23:54.000 locker room with the guy that you gotta have an 0:23:54.000 --> 0:24:00.359 issue with you. You one floor from the coaches office. 0:24:01.400 --> 0:24:05.240 How is it that you are upset here?

I know that we got this 0:24:30.040 --> 0:24:33.440 new Texas Coast thing going on here, but I'm the 0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:37.720 alpha dog out here. I need to see no offense 0:24:37.760 --> 0:24:41.080 to Michael.

Nate saying 0:25:19.840 --> 0:25:21.840 back in the day, I could come to you like, hey, dog, 0:25:23.080 --> 0:25:28.919 Michael Ivan, go hey, you know, listen, Larry Woody, this 0:25:29.000 --> 0:25:29.399 ain't right. 0:25:29.480 --> 0:25:32.920 Dog, get this right, and they get it right. 0:25:33.280 --> 0:25:36.639 Not this whole I'm gonna walk around the situation and 0:25:36.680 --> 0:25:40.600 I think the same thing defensively, right you you hear 0:25:40.760 --> 0:25:42.160 little things, and we. 0:25:42.080 --> 0:25:44.200 Need to do this, and certain guys need to do this, and. 0:25:44.440 --> 0:25:46.560 Who whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. 0:25:47.400 --> 0:25:49.640 Especially when it comes from the dudes who are supposed 0:25:49.640 --> 0:25:52.520 to be the leaders. That has to be. That has 0:25:52.520 --> 0:25:55.439 to be the combination where whoever that leader is, I 0:25:55.520 --> 0:25:57.760 snatch up this guy or I snatch up this guy 0:25:57.760 --> 0:26:00.680 and I we have a conversation and I say, hey, 0:26:00.920 --> 0:26:04.840 if we're going to actually do what we say we 0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:08.040 want to do, and here's what we have to get better. 0:26:08.960 --> 0:26:11.359 And I don't know if that's a consistent thing that 0:26:11.440 --> 0:26:13.719 is happening all the time. 0:26:14.480 --> 0:26:15.159 So let me ask you. 0:26:15.200 --> 0:26:17.240 I mean, obviously, the ultimate goal when you come into 0:26:17.280 --> 0:26:18.720 the season is to win a Super bowl. 0:26:18.720 --> 0:26:19.840 Everybody's on that page. 0:26:19.880 --> 0:26:22.960 And you even started off by saying, Hey, I don't 0:26:23.000 --> 0:26:25.639 know what those guys are talking about over there, and 0:26:25.720 --> 0:26:28.439 so it's kind of I don't want to assume that 0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:29.680 they're not communicating. 0:26:29.760 --> 0:26:31.280 Yeah, a lot of times that I'll say stuff and 0:26:31.320 --> 0:26:31.720 I'll go. 0:26:31.720 --> 0:26:35.239 Well, I don't what it is. 0:26:35.240 --> 0:26:38.080 What it is the thing that we have to do, 0:26:38.440 --> 0:26:41.240 exactly things that we have to do, I don't. 0:26:41.240 --> 0:26:42.760 I don't always just say a thing off the cuffs, 0:26:42.760 --> 0:26:46.040 and sometimes like yo, I don't want to say. 0:26:45.960 --> 0:26:49.359 Like well, but yeah, you know it. You know it 0:26:49.400 --> 0:26:49.960 to be true. 0:26:50.119 --> 0:26:53.800 You have to be you have to be mister Triplett. 0:26:53.560 --> 0:26:58.080 You have to be Parsons. 0:26:59.359 --> 0:27:05.119 Parsons is the guy that I need. 0:27:04.880 --> 0:27:09.240 For him to take over this game, the game, or 0:27:09.520 --> 0:27:10.960 or the leadership the game. 0:27:12.200 --> 0:27:19.560 See, Troy never said much. Michael was our heart. He 0:27:19.920 --> 0:27:23.399 did all the speaking. But he can look at Troy 0:27:23.440 --> 0:27:25.920 in his eyes and know that something need to be said. 0:27:26.920 --> 0:27:32.440 But some guys just need to play somehow, some way. 0:27:33.720 --> 0:27:36.800 Michael Parson has to take over this game. And it 0:27:36.960 --> 0:27:41.560 can't be after the offense get seven or eight or 0:27:41.560 --> 0:27:45.639 fourteen point lead. You have to do this somehow, some 0:27:45.800 --> 0:27:48.240 way at the beginning of the game. You have to 0:27:48.280 --> 0:27:52.520 affect this game, whether all the pressures they say you getting. 0:27:52.880 --> 0:27:55.040 I want to see it at the beginning of the game. 0:27:55.200 --> 0:27:58.879 Don't wait, take over the game. Then I'm talking to 0:27:58.960 --> 0:28:02.840 Deep Law next, take over the game. I need you 0:28:03.040 --> 0:28:10.680 to take over the game. Is saying something that can't happen. No, no, no, 0:28:11.520 --> 0:28:13.560 I think there's what you've been calling for. You've seen 0:28:13.640 --> 0:28:16.359 glimpses of that throughout the season. I think you need 0:28:16.400 --> 0:28:18.679 more of it here at the end of the season. 0:28:18.720 --> 0:28:21.639 But I remember, Hey, Chris Bean, would you please do 0:28:21.680 --> 0:28:25.800 me a favor after Kyle you leaves this uh podcast studio? 0:28:25.920 --> 0:28:27.200 Replace that microphone. 0:28:27.200 --> 0:28:27.480 Okay. 0:28:27.480 --> 0:28:30.359 I don't want to touch nothing that Kyle Yoemans is 0:28:30.400 --> 0:28:34.679 touching because this man is having triplets and I'm scared 0:28:34.720 --> 0:28:35.040 of him. 0:28:35.880 --> 0:28:37.600 Why are you scared of what. 0:28:40.480 --> 0:28:40.680 Like this? 0:28:40.800 --> 0:28:43.320 I don't think it's contagious triplets out the gate? 0:28:43.440 --> 0:28:47.000 Yeah, bro, how do you even prepare for that? 0:28:47.160 --> 0:28:50.320 How even you don't ask me again in like three 0:28:50.360 --> 0:28:52.520 months when I'm actually a father of three? 0:28:52.640 --> 0:28:53.360 That's what it's going to be. 0:28:53.400 --> 0:28:55.160 Man, you look like a North Texas coach right now. 0:28:55.160 --> 0:28:57.160 So what you got going on? 0:28:57.200 --> 0:28:58.520 It's just North Texas Pride. 0:29:00.160 --> 0:29:00.920 It's Friday for you. 0:29:01.920 --> 0:29:05.080 We're in the middle of a deep conversation about leadership 0:29:05.120 --> 0:29:08.760 that Nate made me ask. He teased, I teased it 0:29:08.960 --> 0:29:11.440 in the first made may question made me ask the 0:29:11.520 --> 0:29:12.480 questions me a. 0:29:12.480 --> 0:29:13.400 Couple of times. 0:29:15.560 --> 0:29:17.080 We'll be on the break and he'll be like, let 0:29:17.080 --> 0:29:20.600 me tell you something, Yeah, and he lines up a 0:29:20.640 --> 0:29:25.160 whole nother conversation. I'm like, Nate's yeah, no, ask the question. 0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:25.920 But I got it. 0:29:26.440 --> 0:29:28.760 I mean, because obviously you cover the team. You see 0:29:28.760 --> 0:29:30.840 a lot of what's going on in the locker room, 0:29:31.080 --> 0:29:34.400 and the question is this team as far as leadership, 0:29:34.720 --> 0:29:37.520 how this continues to happen to them on the road 0:29:37.720 --> 0:29:41.560 in the running game. And so it's basically coming down 0:29:41.600 --> 0:29:44.720 to a want to A guy's playing a bigger, bigger 0:29:44.760 --> 0:29:47.200 part of what their role is. What are you seeing 0:29:47.440 --> 0:29:49.600 in that as far as the pulse of this team. 0:29:49.800 --> 0:29:54.280 Yeah, you know, it's hard not being inside those walls, right, Like, 0:29:54.480 --> 0:29:56.720 you're not in the team meeting. The only time that 0:29:56.760 --> 0:29:59.360 we're inside the walls is during open locker room, and 0:29:59.520 --> 0:30:02.680 you're always gonna get the media answer to a certain 0:30:02.720 --> 0:30:06.480 extent from those guys, and it starts with your quarterback. 0:30:06.880 --> 0:30:09.320 But defensively, you need somebody to step up to. 0:30:09.440 --> 0:30:11.000 And I agree with Nate, I really do. I think 0:30:11.040 --> 0:30:13.280 it starts with Michael Parsons. If you're the. 0:30:13.280 --> 0:30:16.480 Guy who's one willing to voice your opinion, because he's 0:30:16.520 --> 0:30:20.320 certainly willing to voice, whether it's in a positive way 0:30:20.880 --> 0:30:23.440 or a disgruntled way, he's going to make his voice 0:30:23.440 --> 0:30:26.240 be heard. If he's willing to do that, he's got 0:30:26.280 --> 0:30:27.720 to be the one to set the tone. And he's 0:30:27.720 --> 0:30:29.959 got to set a tone from a play standpoint and 0:30:30.040 --> 0:30:34.920 from a voice standpoint, and guys gravitate toward Michael Parsons. 0:30:35.080 --> 0:30:39.200 I think one guy that's a little underrated is Layton Vandersch. 0:30:39.400 --> 0:30:41.800 A lot of guys listening to Layton, and when he's 0:30:41.800 --> 0:30:43.960 not in the fold it it does have an effect. 0:30:44.000 --> 0:30:46.160 And I was talking with de mon Clark last week 0:30:46.200 --> 0:30:48.560 before going into that Buffalo game and I just kind 0:30:48.560 --> 0:30:51.600 of jokingly made the suggestion. I was like, you guys 0:30:51.640 --> 0:30:54.000 gonna wear sleeves in the cold linebackers. You guys are 0:30:54.000 --> 0:30:57.040 gonna wear sleeves. He said, no, Layton said, we're not 0:30:57.080 --> 0:30:59.720 wearing sleeves, and we're not wearing sleeves. It's like Layton 0:30:59.760 --> 0:31:02.280 had been on the field in a month. He hasn't 0:31:02.320 --> 0:31:04.760 been a part of this team, and yet he still 0:31:04.840 --> 0:31:08.880 has a leadership role, just even in something as small 0:31:08.920 --> 0:31:11.600 as that, and that that spoke volumes, and I think 0:31:11.640 --> 0:31:13.920 Damon's done a nice job of stepping into a tough 0:31:13.960 --> 0:31:16.920 situation and stepping up and having a voice. Even in 0:31:16.960 --> 0:31:20.960 that that same conversation he told Marquise Bell came over, 0:31:21.040 --> 0:31:23.120 asked a question and Damon had an answer for him 0:31:23.200 --> 0:31:24.760 right away, didn't even have to look at the phone, 0:31:25.320 --> 0:31:27.280 got him set. They both went off to meetings, and 0:31:27.360 --> 0:31:31.360 so there's there's leadership there, But from an overall standpoint, 0:31:31.400 --> 0:31:33.640 you need somebody to rally behind, and I think it 0:31:33.680 --> 0:31:34.440 starts with Micah. 0:31:34.480 --> 0:31:37.800 Guys, let's let's uh, let's switch gears here on it's 0:31:37.800 --> 0:31:39.240 still on the defensive side of the ball. 0:31:39.280 --> 0:31:43.000 But when you look at a guy like Tarik Hill, the. 0:31:43.000 --> 0:31:46.560 Year that he's having the skills that he has, it 0:31:47.160 --> 0:31:50.880 ain't seen anything like this before ever. I'm sure there's 0:31:50.960 --> 0:31:54.000 nothing to have.

I got offensive guys in the building. Man. 0:39:58.719 --> 0:40:01.560 So I got to ask the question about Dak Prescott. 0:40:01.600 --> 0:40:03.480 We had we talked all about the defense because we 0:40:03.560 --> 0:40:05.400 know we got a cheatah that we gotta deal in 0:40:05.400 --> 0:40:08.719 continue with, and also a running game. But this offense, 0:40:08.880 --> 0:40:11.600 obviously last week it kind of felt like they took 0:40:11.640 --> 0:40:13.680 a step back. You have some guys that are hurt 0:40:13.719 --> 0:40:16.560 on the offensive line. What do you guys, how do 0:40:16.600 --> 0:40:19.400 you guys view this game offensively and what's the scheme 0:40:19.680 --> 0:40:21.560 that you need to see in order for us to 0:40:21.600 --> 0:40:22.320 get a victory. 0:40:22.360 --> 0:40:28.560 I'll start with you, Nate, not all at once. I 0:40:28.680 --> 0:40:31.439 defer to Jesse, all right. 0:40:31.680 --> 0:40:34.760 You know for me, when you when you look at 0:40:35.000 --> 0:40:38.120 how this game plays out, I think there has to 0:40:38.239 --> 0:40:41.560 be a strategic move and about how you approached this. 0:40:42.000 --> 0:40:46.400 I think the Cowboys' best defense will be their offense, 0:40:47.239 --> 0:40:51.520 meaning that I need to have long, sustained drives that 0:40:51.719 --> 0:40:53.200 ending touchdowns. 0:40:53.600 --> 0:40:55.200 I have to win the time of. 0:40:55.120 --> 0:40:59.200 Possession, contextualize that by how you do it, you. 0:40:59.080 --> 0:41:01.200 Get And this is gonna be difficult now because you're 0:41:01.200 --> 0:41:04.799 talking about Zach Martin potentially not according to Jerry. 0:41:04.640 --> 0:41:05.680 I think he's gonna be fine. 0:41:05.719 --> 0:41:08.520 Okay, he was out there today and then Tyroncarthy gave 0:41:08.600 --> 0:41:11.120 us an update. Tyrone was not out there today, so 0:41:11.320 --> 0:41:12.520 in the Mike McCarthy update. 0:41:12.640 --> 0:41:15.120 So now we got to figure out, Okay, if we're 0:41:15.120 --> 0:41:18.040 missing one of the dogs up front, right, how can 0:41:18.080 --> 0:41:20.920 we put a run game together? It starts there, It 0:41:20.960 --> 0:41:25.360 starts running the ball up front. This defense and the 0:41:25.440 --> 0:41:29.520 Vic Fangio defense, they're not bringing multiple pressures. They want 0:41:29.560 --> 0:41:31.280 to get They want to use their down for a linement. 0:41:31.880 --> 0:41:33.680 They want to use those guys, those stunt they'll do 0:41:33.680 --> 0:41:34.960 all the kind of stuff. But they want to drop 0:41:35.000 --> 0:41:36.839 a bunch of guys in coverage. Yeah, they want they 0:41:36.840 --> 0:41:39.640 want to make Dak Prescott have to sift through that, right, 0:41:39.680 --> 0:41:42.880 So anytime you play that type of two high man 0:41:42.960 --> 0:41:45.360 match type thing that they do when they're in their situation, 0:41:45.719 --> 0:41:48.920 light box, right, light box, we have to attack that. 0:41:49.000 --> 0:41:51.720 We have to do what others do to us. Light box. 0:41:52.080 --> 0:41:53.080 Let's run the football. 0:41:53.160 --> 0:41:56.239 Let's be committed to doing it, not just to not 0:41:56.320 --> 0:41:58.839 run the football to beat our heads into the the wall, 0:41:59.120 --> 0:42:02.120 but run the full all what they plan. And then 0:42:02.160 --> 0:42:04.839 once we get to a situation where now we can 0:42:04.920 --> 0:42:07.879 kind of feel good about the rhythm that we're in now, 0:42:08.080 --> 0:42:11.040 just start methodically picking these guys apart. Right, They're not 0:42:11.080 --> 0:42:12.360 gonna give you over the top stuff. 0:42:12.520 --> 0:42:12.799 They're not. 0:42:13.160 --> 0:42:15.240 Hey, Jake Ferk, might be a big day for you, buddy. 0:42:15.360 --> 0:42:15.960 You know what I'm saying. 0:42:16.160 --> 0:42:19.279 Linebackers to me a little bit sussy, a little suss, Right, 0:42:19.320 --> 0:42:22.320 they're not. They're not the best guys in coverage. You 0:42:22.400 --> 0:42:24.560 know what I mean, not the best guys in coverage. 0:42:24.560 --> 0:42:28.840 So say that a little sussy, little sussy the US 0:42:29.600 --> 0:42:33.719 along Duke Riley, Come on, fellas, Yeah. 0:42:33.719 --> 0:42:35.880 This you didn't even mention Christian Wilkins. 0:42:36.120 --> 0:42:37.439 No, No, that's that's Steven's lime. 0:42:37.640 --> 0:42:37.960 I'm talking. 0:42:38.200 --> 0:42:39.880 I'm talking about linebackers. 0:42:40.239 --> 0:42:43.640 Yes, sir Jesse repeated that I heard other shows repeated 0:42:43.760 --> 0:42:46.359 if the weak spot is that, if they're gonna give 0:42:46.440 --> 0:42:48.600 us that. 0:42:47.600 --> 0:42:50.480 That that that two box, if they're gonna let us run. 0:42:51.040 --> 0:42:54.680 This is a game with Tony Polar swing that ball 0:42:54.800 --> 0:42:57.160 to him out of the backfield, line him up on 0:42:57.200 --> 0:43:00.960 the end of the line. Make these line backers tackle. 0:43:01.080 --> 0:43:03.759 Their safety is listen to Isaiah this one. They don't 0:43:03.760 --> 0:43:07.920 have to have physical safeties, but not real good tackling safeties. 0:43:07.960 --> 0:43:12.160 No, ferg Man, Ferd Schoolmaker. This is where he has 0:43:12.200 --> 0:43:15.200 an offensive coordinator. No, no, stay with me here. This 0:43:15.239 --> 0:43:17.000 is where you got to drop him. You got to 0:43:17.040 --> 0:43:17.440 hang them. 0:43:17.440 --> 0:43:17.640 Bruh. 0:43:18.320 --> 0:43:21.200 So you compare that to like a tank a mack truck, and. 0:43:21.880 --> 0:43:25.200 You have to you say, how do you get down 0:43:25.239 --> 0:43:25.680 the field? 0:43:25.800 --> 0:43:29.840 Yes, sir Tony Potot outside running Tony Pottot outside swing 0:43:29.880 --> 0:43:33.040 pass Tony Pollard on a wheel route. This is the 0:43:33.120 --> 0:43:36.360 things you do, Jake Ferguson down the scene, Jake Ferguson 0:43:36.480 --> 0:43:38.960 dragging across that favorite route you like where you run 0:43:38.960 --> 0:43:41.920 the ride, rest, drag him in behind. This is how 0:43:42.000 --> 0:43:46.440 you go down the field ten yards, five yards, three yards, 0:43:46.480 --> 0:43:48.120 and all of a sudden you're in the red zone. 0:43:49.000 --> 0:43:51.840 Now when you're in the red zone five and in 0:43:52.760 --> 0:43:56.399 run the ball. Twice lip Key showed that he can 0:43:56.440 --> 0:43:59.600 dig a line back, load left or load right. 0:44:00.040 --> 0:44:01.320 Dig this line back out. 0:44:01.200 --> 0:44:04.279 And let Tony find the space in there. This is 0:44:04.320 --> 0:44:06.920 how you can beat this team. And in the process, 0:44:07.320 --> 0:44:09.239 now you're looking at thirty five minutes in. 0:44:09.200 --> 0:44:12.400 His game game over. But if you do it any 0:44:12.560 --> 0:44:15.239 other way, if you. 0:44:15.400 --> 0:44:18.920 Consist, Bob was gonna say, I think y'all are saying 0:44:19.160 --> 0:44:22.560 similar things in the same time time of possession. You 0:44:22.600 --> 0:44:24.680 control time of possession if you're able to run the ball. 0:44:25.120 --> 0:44:28.920 The problem with this front seven from Miami is Christian 0:44:28.920 --> 0:44:30.760 Wilkins and Davis on the inside. 0:44:30.800 --> 0:44:33.919 Those are two big bodies that seal down low. Yeah, 0:44:34.040 --> 0:44:37.640 sealer as well. They they only have those. 0:44:37.440 --> 0:44:39.799 Four down linemen for a reason, because they can get 0:44:39.800 --> 0:44:41.840 home and they can hold their block or hold their gap. 0:44:42.480 --> 0:44:44.879 That's the one thing I'm worried about. If there's gonna 0:44:44.880 --> 0:44:47.560 be any sort of run game, it's probably not gonna 0:44:47.560 --> 0:44:49.120 come within the tackles. You're gonna have to get the 0:44:49.120 --> 0:44:52.320 screen game going outside. You might try those long handoffs 0:44:52.320 --> 0:44:55.160 where you've got Brandon Cooks or Ceedee Lamb situated behind 0:44:55.160 --> 0:44:57.759 some blockers outside on the numbers. That's the type of 0:44:57.800 --> 0:45:01.360 opening I see of available because it's front seven. 0:45:01.800 --> 0:45:05.200 When you mentioned the linebackers, I really like Van Ginkel, 0:45:05.280 --> 0:45:08.920 Andrew Van Ginkle, long hair, he looks like he's an guy. Yeah, 0:45:08.960 --> 0:45:12.320 he's an guy. He's downhill, he's an guy all over 0:45:12.400 --> 0:45:12.760 the place. 0:45:13.680 --> 0:45:15.120 Good ta lies. 0:45:15.360 --> 0:45:16.920 He's a football player, dude, That's what I. 0:45:16.920 --> 0:45:21.120 Said, football players, jual lies. Listen to what I'm saying. 0:45:22.239 --> 0:45:25.000 Him off. You can't knock off, you can't. 0:45:25.080 --> 0:45:26.719 Visual line outside. 0:45:26.920 --> 0:45:29.160 This is what I'm talking about. They run a three 0:45:29.280 --> 0:45:34.680 four basic defense. Yeah, variations off of that. Tony Pollard out. 0:45:34.960 --> 0:45:39.160 Tony Pollard out, Tony Pollard out brings the linebackers up. 0:45:39.600 --> 0:45:44.000 Jake in behind the BikeE, Jake in behind you. He's 0:45:44.239 --> 0:45:46.879 who's been beating Dack throwing up the scene. This hit 0:45:46.960 --> 0:45:49.799 him a couple of times. Now you got your say 0:45:49.840 --> 0:45:50.080 this that. 0:45:50.120 --> 0:45:51.879 Okay, we better come up and make this play because 0:45:51.960 --> 0:45:53.200 Jake ain't going down easy. 0:45:53.520 --> 0:45:56.440 And all of a sudden we just leaked that number 0:45:56.440 --> 0:45:58.560 three right in behind him and we get him. 0:45:59.160 --> 0:46:04.520 Visual line, if you don't try to get out, you 0:46:04.560 --> 0:46:10.680 don't try to get outside. Come on now, don't beat 0:46:10.719 --> 0:46:12.719 yourself up. Don't don't overthink this man. 0:46:12.760 --> 0:46:14.799 But that's exactly it. You're not gonna get it in 0:46:14.840 --> 0:46:15.879 between the tackles. 0:46:15.719 --> 0:46:20.160 That but but you don't want to be there. Your 0:46:20.280 --> 0:46:20.879 running game. 0:46:20.960 --> 0:46:24.080 But your running game isn't it in between the tackle 0:46:24.120 --> 0:46:25.200 type of running game anyway? 0:46:25.320 --> 0:46:26.279 Yeah, it shouldn't be. 0:46:26.400 --> 0:46:28.960 It's more trying to make it that way. It's more 0:46:29.040 --> 0:46:29.560 on the edge. 0:46:29.880 --> 0:46:32.279 I like when you get Terren Steele and and he's pulling. 0:46:32.360 --> 0:46:34.520 I don't like when he's I know. I like when 0:46:34.560 --> 0:46:36.520 I when I get the young boy Tyler Smith pulling. 0:46:36.800 --> 0:46:41.120 Let's get these dudes, let's get the parade. 0:46:42.480 --> 0:46:43.760 I think we just solved the problem. 0:46:43.760 --> 0:46:46.239 I think we just solved the cowboys. 0:46:47.800 --> 0:46:50.640 When when the plane take off? When the plane take off? 0:46:51.800 --> 0:46:55.239 Saturday I'm gonna store you guys, all of us gonna 0:46:55.239 --> 0:46:57.680 store ourselves down there with the luggage, and then we're 0:46:57.680 --> 0:46:58.520 gonna get off. 0:46:58.400 --> 0:46:59.759 The plane with them. 0:47:00.080 --> 0:47:02.200 And then when when the play college stought Wenna, we're 0:47:02.200 --> 0:47:03.040 gonna store in the booth. 0:47:03.200 --> 0:47:05.319 Do we need to bring our own headsets? Or we're 0:47:05.320 --> 0:47:06.400 just gonna take it? 0:47:06.440 --> 0:47:09.640 Will take this, Okay, I'm taking Quinn Quinn. Look at him, 0:47:09.960 --> 0:47:11.040 eighth man in the box. 0:47:13.920 --> 0:47:16.160 I'd be like, all right, it's Quinn. Y'all are on defense. 0:47:16.200 --> 0:47:16.759 Get out of the way. 0:47:16.800 --> 0:47:19.480 Give me your headset, Kyle. I gotta ask you a question. 0:47:19.680 --> 0:47:21.680 I think that the podcast pick. 0:47:21.840 --> 0:47:26.719 This week is which which receiver on either team is 0:47:26.800 --> 0:47:28.680 going to have the most receptions. 0:47:28.840 --> 0:47:30.359 I can tell you what's going to be the most 0:47:30.360 --> 0:47:33.280 popular answer, and it's Tyreek Hill. That's not my answer, 0:47:33.400 --> 0:47:35.799 and it's one of the ones that Jesse just brought up. 0:47:35.800 --> 0:47:36.719 It's Jake Ferguson. 0:47:36.760 --> 0:47:39.400 Okay, what am I gonna say? Was gonna say the 0:47:39.400 --> 0:47:39.640 other guy? 0:47:39.680 --> 0:47:41.319 And I brought up that's what I pick. Everybody's been 0:47:41.360 --> 0:47:42.520 actual picked. A lot of guys picked. 0:47:42.560 --> 0:47:47.400 Jake Ferguson, he picked you picked Waddle. 0:47:47.520 --> 0:47:50.839 Yeah, he he did shine as the number one last 0:47:50.880 --> 0:47:52.919 week when when Hill was out, he had a career 0:47:53.000 --> 0:47:54.600 high one hundred and forty two yards. 0:47:54.640 --> 0:47:55.440 He's been great. 0:47:55.480 --> 0:47:58.439 He's the eighth leading receiver since the start of last 0:47:58.480 --> 0:47:59.200 year in the NFL. 0:47:59.239 --> 0:48:00.480 People forget about. 0:48:00.160 --> 0:48:01.040 If dan Quinn. 0:48:01.280 --> 0:48:05.400 If dan Quinn has not put together a plan to 0:48:05.719 --> 0:48:09.239 double Tyreek Hill, I don't know. 0:48:09.200 --> 0:48:09.759 What he's doing. 0:48:10.000 --> 0:48:12.440 Like there's no way, there's no way that you you 0:48:12.480 --> 0:48:14.960 don't have the dogs to run with him. There has 0:48:15.000 --> 0:48:17.800 to be in a sort of effort to eliminate him. 0:48:17.640 --> 0:48:19.879 And you don't want to run like single high man 0:48:19.920 --> 0:48:22.600 and just see what Jordan Lewis has good luck. 0:48:25.440 --> 0:48:26.799 He listens to the question. 0:48:26.719 --> 0:48:37.239 Like don't bite, no, no, you gotta have some sort 0:48:37.239 --> 0:48:39.120 of double team. But it's been shown in the past 0:48:39.560 --> 0:48:41.600 even a double team is not gonna slow him down, 0:48:41.760 --> 0:48:44.520 like completely. You can you can limit him. If you 0:48:44.520 --> 0:48:46.399 can limit Tyreek Hill, I think you've got a really 0:48:46.400 --> 0:48:46.960 good shot to win. 0:48:47.000 --> 0:48:48.640 And that's why I said, That's why I said waddle 0:48:48.680 --> 0:48:50.600 on the other side, right, because he's gonna get the 0:48:50.640 --> 0:48:52.239 one on one match. If he's gonna get lined up 0:48:52.239 --> 0:48:54.120 with Gilly, he's gonna get lined up with Bland and 0:48:54.719 --> 0:48:58.200 with that speed, I just know that. I mean, hell, 0:48:58.239 --> 0:49:01.200 we played off on guys who can't blow by you, right, 0:49:01.239 --> 0:49:03.799 We're playing ten yards off guys who can't run by you. 0:49:04.120 --> 0:49:06.160 So all of a sudden, now you think this is 0:49:06.200 --> 0:49:07.480 the game that you want to come up in and 0:49:07.520 --> 0:49:10.000 test your press skills. I get a coach of Al Harris, 0:49:10.040 --> 0:49:12.120 who was one of the Al Harris, if y'all don't know, 0:49:12.280 --> 0:49:15.880 was one of the best, one of the best press corners. 0:49:16.280 --> 0:49:19.160 I was a young boy in Cincinnati with Chad o 0:49:19.280 --> 0:49:22.400 Chosinka was my og and to watch he would he 0:49:22.440 --> 0:49:25.799 would get up in Chad stuff and be like and 0:49:25.880 --> 0:49:28.359 grab Chad, you let chat. 0:49:29.000 --> 0:49:30.120 Chad will tell you one of. 0:49:30.040 --> 0:49:32.799 The best press corners he's ever had your face was 0:49:33.280 --> 0:49:36.239 Al Harris. I don't know if this is the game 0:49:36.320 --> 0:49:40.280 I want to start testing my press skill coverage. 0:49:40.360 --> 0:49:41.920 I don't know how you change I don't do not 0:49:42.080 --> 0:49:45.040 know how you change your spots quickly. And if you do, 0:49:45.120 --> 0:49:46.600 I mean it's gonna be a hell of a plan 0:49:46.840 --> 0:49:49.480 that they put together specifically for Tarik Hill because he 0:49:49.719 --> 0:49:52.799 is their offense. But my pick for that, I'm gonna go. 0:49:52.880 --> 0:49:54.920 I'm gonna go with the guy you was just talking about. Pouting, 0:49:55.239 --> 0:49:57.719 go with CD. If you're gonna do all that now. 0:49:57.680 --> 0:49:59.919 I have to don't bring up that old stuff. 0:50:00.200 --> 0:50:00.880 You said it. 0:50:01.080 --> 0:50:03.919 I was ten weeks ago. I was I was making 0:50:03.960 --> 0:50:04.400 a point. 0:50:04.520 --> 0:50:06.480 I say, I was like, wait, when was he powdering? 0:50:07.120 --> 0:50:07.319 No? 0:50:07.120 --> 0:50:09.440 No, no, no, no now, but I was making a point. 0:50:09.280 --> 0:50:11.000 That the body language was a conversation. 0:50:11.360 --> 0:50:15.000 Yeah, you said, I goess my man bringing up I'm 0:50:15.040 --> 0:50:17.960 going I'm going CD, because man, you gotta prove it. 0:50:18.080 --> 0:50:20.600 This is Michael Irvin Dale Green. Come on, you gotta 0:50:20.719 --> 0:50:23.920 prove it. Nia's you gotta prove it. You're gonna have 0:50:24.040 --> 0:50:25.799 these matchups. You can't run away from it. 0:50:26.200 --> 0:50:28.520 You can't. So CD and Jaalen Ramsey you gotta do them. 0:50:28.520 --> 0:50:31.000 You gotta cook him, okay, because the thing is, the 0:50:31.040 --> 0:50:32.919 thing is is you know they're gonna move him around. 0:50:33.000 --> 0:50:35.080 And Jalen Ramsey is a guy that's gonna travel. He 0:50:35.200 --> 0:50:37.359 likes to play in the slot because he's physical enough 0:50:37.520 --> 0:50:38.759 and believes he's fast enough. 0:50:38.800 --> 0:50:41.479 He's gonna try. I believe he's gonna travel city. 0:50:41.520 --> 0:50:42.960 It's gonna be a sassine man, It's. 0:50:42.800 --> 0:50:44.279 Gonna be a great game. I want to see that 0:50:44.320 --> 0:50:47.920 the eighty eight prevail who'd you pick to win? 0:50:48.080 --> 0:50:50.399 Waddle?
