Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: Cowboys.
Speaker 3: This is the Players Lounge, broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 3: World Headquarters at the Star. Now your hosts Barry Church,
Speaker 3: Danny McCrae, Heckma Harrison and new He scrugs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got one of those right. I am in
Speaker 2: the building.
Speaker 4: This is the Players Lounge sponsored by Tostitos, the official
Speaker 4: chip and dip of the Dallas Cowboys, and the players
Speaker 4: in the building is the Great Nate Newton. Hey, my man,
Speaker 4: Jesse Holly. I shall appreciate y'all man around. You know,
Speaker 4: I was like, hey, you know, I do this thing
Speaker 4: by myself, opening open the phone, were visit the booth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I ain't scared.
Speaker 5: It at all.
Speaker 4: Okay, but man, this is man great man Holiday audition.
Speaker 4: This the this is the Christmas edition. Uh, the Miami
Speaker 4: Dolphins edition. I know y'all been talking about it all
Speaker 4: week long, y'all, and I I gotta ask y'allself because
Speaker 4: I know it's been one hell of a week after Buffalo.
Speaker 2: It's like, hey, it's like Joe Dash Jeans in the eighties. Alone. Man,
Speaker 2: you know you got that.
Speaker 4: Okay, it's for real be coming off a loss and
Speaker 4: I haven't been able to talk to y'allo.
Speaker 2: Now I got you in my face. I won't talk
Speaker 2: to you about it. Jesse. What has it been like after.
Speaker 4: Getting your rebuilding vot run to get ready for this
Speaker 4: Miami Dolphins day?
Speaker 6: You know, as from a player's perspective, you think about,
Speaker 6: all right, you come in and you face the music
Speaker 6: on Monday, and those are the films that you never
Speaker 6: want to watch because you know, at some point in
Speaker 6: time you're gonna be on the big screen like Summer Jam,
Speaker 6: and it's gonna.
Speaker 5: Be, it's gonna be.
Speaker 6: It's not gonna be good right like and and and
Speaker 6: it's in those moments you kind of hope that maybe
Speaker 6: you saying, would stand two other bad plays ahead of
Speaker 6: you or behind you so that they don't stay on
Speaker 6: you too long. But you know, and it's for guys
Speaker 6: in my position. Coaches always coach through the lesser of
Speaker 6: the players, right, so when the stars make a mistake,
Speaker 6: they don't really get too doll cussed. But let my
Speaker 6: mistake happen, they gonna coach through me.
Speaker 2: Jesse, what the hell are you doing? You and I'm like, no,
Speaker 2: he did the same thing.
Speaker 6: But you don't say that to the stars. You coach
Speaker 6: through the lesser players. So a lot of times in
Speaker 6: these meetings, the star they'll get kind of called out
Speaker 6: a little bit, But it's the others that really get
Speaker 6: doll cuss in these meetings because that's just the nature
Speaker 6: of the beast.
Speaker 4: And let let me add on to that, and I
Speaker 4: give a perfect nine route. When you take that nine route,
Speaker 4: you always want to leave a little space. Yeah, so
Speaker 4: if ceedee, lamb, run right here, cde, what we need
Speaker 4: for you to do is leave a little space to
Speaker 4: work with a quarterback. But if it's just man, what
Speaker 4: that's why we don't play you along because you can't.
Speaker 6: You know, That's what we got the red line on
Speaker 6: the practice field about.
Speaker 2: You got to stay and get a quarterback.
Speaker 6: You're like, come on, man, but coach, coach, do the
Speaker 6: lesson player.
Speaker 4: The cultural reference of being on the summer jam screen. Really,
Speaker 4: I can't think nothing else. I'm prodigy ballet outfit. But hey,
Speaker 4: you don't want to get caught like that. And that
Speaker 4: is what that film session look like. But I'm telling
Speaker 4: you had to get through that week because I think
Speaker 4: it caught everybody off guard. You no way you expected
Speaker 4: to go in the Buffalo, get beat up the way
Speaker 4: that you did, and obviously go through this week and
Speaker 4: have the analysis that you've had all week talking about
Speaker 4: that loss, and then Mike McDaniel's how great he is
Speaker 4: and what this running game can be like when you
Speaker 4: get to Miami. But Nate for you as you as
Speaker 4: you look at this defense. You've talked about this defense
Speaker 4: this whole time. What is this defense to what they
Speaker 4: have to do better? Obviously in which department to get
Speaker 4: this thing style?
Speaker 2: It's all about your gaps. You. I could accept what
Speaker 2: happened with the Carginals, Okay, we will hot.
Speaker 4: We we finn to be the number one defense in
Speaker 4: the league.
Speaker 2: We okay. Then we go up a few weeks later
Speaker 2: we see the forty nine.
Speaker 4: Oh the eye candy da da dah? What was that
Speaker 4: Week fourteen? All of that is behind us. No more tricks,
Speaker 4: no more this. Now it's about how bad do you
Speaker 4: want it? If you're supposed to be in the A gap,
Speaker 4: Play the A gap. I don't care what you thought
Speaker 4: you saw. Play the A gap, A B C. Play
Speaker 4: your gap, because if you don't stop the run. See
Speaker 4: this thing is set up with Tyreek Hill and then
Speaker 4: it comes inside. If you don't when they come inside,
Speaker 4: if you don't stop it, it's all over.
Speaker 2: Game over. Play your gaps.
Speaker 4: I'm worried about our defensive line play in their gaps
Speaker 4: and giving our small linebackers a.
Speaker 2: Chance to make plays.
Speaker 4: So you're saying you saw a lot of guys freelancing,
Speaker 4: doing their own.
Speaker 6: Thing, And that's the.
Speaker 5: Gift and the curse of talent. Yes, right, Because when you.
Speaker 6: When you have a certain level of talent, and I
Speaker 6: like to believe that this Cowboys defense is literate with
Speaker 6: a bunch of talented dudes, a lot of times you
Speaker 6: rely strictly on your talent, and when your talent has
Speaker 6: had some success, you kind of go to that well
Speaker 6: again and you don't have the precision that you need,
Speaker 6: the attention the detail that you need on assignment. And
Speaker 6: I think that's the biggest thing when you look at
Speaker 6: this defense. When this defense is really knocked over the head,
Speaker 6: it's the talented dudes not being attention to detail in
Speaker 6: the moments and areas that they need to.
Speaker 5: Be attention to detail.
Speaker 6: They use their talent, and that sometimes can throw you
Speaker 6: off because yeah you're faster, Yeah you may be stronger,
Speaker 6: but if you jump out this gap this time and
Speaker 6: they catch you, they hit, they handle the goal post
Speaker 6: for a touchdown. And I think that's the biggest thing
Speaker 6: is that I can't have. We said on our show,
Speaker 6: I can't have eleven Batman's. I just can't. I just
Speaker 6: can't have eleven Batman's one Batman. I need the rest
Speaker 6: of y'all to be Robbins. I need the rest of
Speaker 6: y'all to do what you're supposed to do and sometimes
Speaker 6: say Batman and.
Speaker 4: Let's that's okay. I don't want to say role play,
Speaker 4: but just at least know your role.
Speaker 2: Fine, it's fine, it's fine. I know I'm talking.
Speaker 4: This is the deal, ain't this is the deal. Let's
Speaker 4: let's be frank here. There's only one superstar on the defense,
Speaker 4: and the rest of them are role players. Diggs is hurt.
Speaker 4: That was your other closest things to a superstar. Mike
Speaker 4: or Parsons is a past rushing superstar. The rest of
Speaker 4: these guys are role players.
Speaker 2: Play your role, do your job.
Speaker 4: I promise you, Clark, if you did not learn to
Speaker 4: be where you're supposed to be.
Speaker 2: You would get deposited again. Play your role.
Speaker 4: This is one thing I learned when I played. Yeah, boy,
Speaker 4: remember that boy fell in the middle of the chess
Speaker 4: and Jim Broden head around there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen to this, y'all.
Speaker 4: Mike Irving, Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman, slightly j Noble, check
Speaker 4: the rest of us it.
Speaker 2: Eric Williams got there was just guys who played well,
Speaker 2: who played in their role in and relished their role.
Speaker 2: You don't have and in the day's.
Speaker 4: Sarah Cap Okay, let the money dig tell who the
Speaker 4: players are.
Speaker 2: He but one of them and he ain't got paid yet.
Speaker 2: Hutton is injured.
Speaker 4: This something you know, when I and I make a
Speaker 4: basketball reference. When I'm watching basketball with my son, I'm
Speaker 4: always telling them, I'm like, you have no idea, you've
Speaker 4: never seen basketball before.
Speaker 2: This brand of basketball that I'm looking at, This ain't it.
Speaker 4: These guys are five seconds into the shot clock and
Speaker 4: they've they're already taking shots already.
Speaker 2: You know, and it's moving that fast.
Speaker 4: And so when when you say role players, I think
Speaker 4: back to those times when you watch the NBA and
Speaker 4: there were guys that their sole job. Dennis Rodman's sole
Speaker 4: job was to get rebounds, play defense. If Dennis Rodman
Speaker 4: shot at three at any point at any time, it
Speaker 4: was prout, the game was over.
Speaker 2: In the half. He just so happened to have the
Speaker 2: ball in his head. But when you talk about role
Speaker 2: players from a.
Speaker 4: NFL standpoint today, it seemed like those things are thrown
Speaker 4: off because you got everybody wanting to play Batman specifically
Speaker 4: who on this defense, and you said, look, your role
Speaker 4: has to be this and only this.
Speaker 2: Don't get out of that role.
Speaker 5: I mean we can go down and we can name
Speaker 5: guys for guys and is that fair? Is that not fair?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 6: The one thing that you look at and we'll stick defensively,
Speaker 6: is this is another gift in the curse of having
Speaker 6: that star on your helmet. Everybody wants to be in
Speaker 6: that number, right, Everybody wants to be this. Everybody's about
Speaker 6: their brand. This is a brand. This is a brand,
Speaker 6: and everybody wants to be a part of that brand.
Speaker 5: So the brand is not being the role player.
Speaker 6: There's no there's no money in the role play, there's
Speaker 6: no attention in the role play, there's no So everybody
Speaker 6: find themselves kind of wanting to do and overstep their
Speaker 6: boundaries and.
Speaker 5: So if he had guys that was just like.
Speaker 6: Man, I'm just gonna hold up this gap. I'm just
Speaker 6: gonna hold up this gap. Well, I'm just gonna play
Speaker 6: this leverage. I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 5: Then you allow your defense to be better.
Speaker 2: And this is.
Speaker 6: Football is a fluid game. Week by week, things change,
Speaker 6: things happen. In the Buffalo situation, there were a lot
Speaker 6: of guys who were not properly placed, that should have
Speaker 6: been properly placed and had no business in areas that
Speaker 6: they were in. But because you look around and a
Speaker 6: guy says, well, the avalanche is coming, I want to
Speaker 6: make a play to kind of stop the bleeding. You
Speaker 6: jump out of your gap. You're not in the right situation.
Speaker 6: Now the avalanche continues, the bleeding continues.
Speaker 4: How else do you trust Let's say, if you're talking
Speaker 4: about a safety or safety is in particular all right,
Speaker 4: how else do you trust that if you have to
Speaker 4: play a particular style of defense because of your batman,
Speaker 4: you're gonna be singled up on the backside a lot
Speaker 4: of times with your free safety and he's gonna be
Speaker 4: one on one with the running back and he has
Speaker 4: to make that tackle.
Speaker 2: Is that specifically him Okay.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like and you know that in film, say, hey,
Speaker 6: when they come backside, it's you and him and not.
Speaker 6: But that's when that's the mentality of Okay, if I
Speaker 6: get run over, do I make the tackle?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 6: I just have to be there. I have to be
Speaker 6: right in what I'm supposed to do. If the outcome
Speaker 6: is me getting him down for either a short gain
Speaker 6: or no gain or small game, then cool, I've done
Speaker 6: my part. But it's when you're supposed to be in
Speaker 6: the situation, in the area and that's supposed to be you,
Speaker 6: and that turns into now a big game because you
Speaker 6: did not do the assitement that you were assigned to do.
Speaker 6: How can we play football? How can we have a
Speaker 6: successful football play if the guys who are supposed to
Speaker 6: be there aren't there?
Speaker 2: Nate, I just.
Speaker 4: This thing is so big now it's December football, and Jesse,
Speaker 4: you know, you know all of us that's played in
Speaker 4: some type of college football. Understand you know you're getting
Speaker 4: your some position for a bowl game, a playoff run
Speaker 4: or something special. This lady, and if you don't care
Speaker 4: enough about your teammates, and I said the other night,
Speaker 4: I'm about tired of we need to learn.
Speaker 2: We need to get it together.
Speaker 7: It's just do your job.
Speaker 2: Stop being selfish.
Speaker 8: When you see that you give up two hundred and
Speaker 8: sixty six yards of Russian, one hundred and ninety yards
Speaker 8: of Russian, one hundred and seventy yards of Russian, two
Speaker 8: hundred and twenty yards of Russian.
Speaker 2: All of these are losses because you decided to be selfish.
Speaker 4: You're not helping your team, you know, Jesse said. One
Speaker 4: thing I agree with. Okay, we heard Oldsa say last week,
Speaker 4: we have six and a half guys in the box.
Speaker 2: Won't seventh guy come on down, Come on down, join
Speaker 2: the party.
Speaker 4: Man, get bloody, like Jesse said, get ran over, do something.
Speaker 4: Grab this guy, scrawl for a libit of game so
Speaker 4: we can have a third and.
Speaker 2: Six instead of a third instead of third and one.
Speaker 2: Do your job. These guys don't care.
Speaker 4: Let me ask you this. I mean because you you are.
Speaker 4: You have played on Super Bowl winning teams, so and
Speaker 4: I would never dare compare any of those teams to
Speaker 4: the current Dallas Cowboys. But what I do see is
Speaker 4: the narrative from playing against tough San Francisco team. Yes, okay,
Speaker 4: and Inet, I asked you about this in ninety four,
Speaker 4: y'all got disqualified, y'all got put out of the playoff
Speaker 4: by me up out of the players, by San Francisco
Speaker 4: he Candlestick Park, and then in ninety five during the
Speaker 4: regular season they beat you again.
Speaker 2: Yes, kind of reminiscent to what they want nothing else
Speaker 2: to do with them. But this is this is the
Speaker 2: same thing that this year's Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 4: It's if you think about it, they're dealing with this
Speaker 4: kind of the same thing that with the San Francisco
Speaker 4: forty nine ers being there bumping the road. Basically, how
Speaker 4: did y'all, especially in that ninety five that Super Bowl
Speaker 4: thirty team, how did y'all get to the end of
Speaker 4: that season to say, all right, we can make a
Speaker 4: run now, especially after those losses y'all lost to the Commanders,
Speaker 4: which were the Washington Okay, you lost of those teams twice,
Speaker 4: lost in Philly. Uh yep, went twelve or four that season.
Speaker 4: But what was the turn of the page that took
Speaker 4: you'all to the championship? You know what, let's go to
Speaker 4: a break, because this conversation, Hire, i'ma have to tell
Speaker 4: you a story.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to tell you how it really is
Speaker 2: supposed to be.

Speaker 2: Jesse the best.
Speaker 4: It's the players loud hod S used to by Toastinos
Speaker 4: up Hecker, Harrison and Jesse is in the building.
Speaker 2: Nate Newton is in the building.
Speaker 4: And before we took our break, I was asking you
Speaker 4: specifically about the transition from ninety four to ninety five,
Speaker 4: and ninety four being the year that you guys will
Speaker 4: put out of the playoffs by the San Francisco forty
Speaker 4: nine ers, and they were a thorn on your side,
Speaker 4: kind of like this current Dubs Cowboys group.
Speaker 2: But then in ninety five, middle of.
Speaker 4: The season, you guys take on that same San Francisco
Speaker 4: forty nine ers group and they beat you again thirty
Speaker 4: eight to twenty. I believe that was I'm making you
Speaker 4: relive it said, that's.
Speaker 2: Okay, we won a Super Bowl. I did, I did,
Speaker 2: But it's hearly familiar.
Speaker 4: That season coming back back off of two twelve and
Speaker 4: four seasons, this team coming off of two twelve and
Speaker 4: fives find themselves smack dab in the middle of the
Speaker 4: playoff hunt. But what was the difference in that team
Speaker 4: when you look back over there, what y'all had to
Speaker 4: do to get over that hump, to get that momentum
Speaker 4: to win that super Bowl. First of all, the coach
Speaker 4: Buller's in and told us, hey, fellas, we just got
Speaker 4: beat by a good a good team. Second of all,
Speaker 4: we had and like I said this on cross Talk,
Speaker 4: I don't know what go on over there in their building.
Speaker 4: I don't know who their leaders are, who their top
Speaker 4: dogs are, how far there each player has been in
Speaker 4: the playoffs, and what's their mindset. But our mindset was
Speaker 4: a little bit different. Okay, we know we were equal
Speaker 4: to the forty nine ers. We had played them head ahead,
Speaker 4: and somehow they had snatched the momentum from us from.
Speaker 2: That year before.
Speaker 4: People say, oh, well they cheated, we didn't go But
Speaker 4: back then we didn't cheat.
Speaker 2: That don't work for us.
Speaker 4: We were winning. We needed to win. They beat us again,
Speaker 4: and now some doubt creeps in. But what not what
Speaker 4: didn't happen was our ability to go out there and
Speaker 4: work on that field, our ability to study that film, that.
Speaker 2: Ability to say, hey, everyone can say.
Speaker 4: Hey, Nate, man, I'm gonna watch some extra film doing lunch.
Speaker 4: Charles Hayter say, hey, Russ, what you doing for lunch?
Speaker 2: Okay? I meet you in there to.
Speaker 4: Watch some film. Hey man, Nah, you lined up wrong.
Speaker 4: This is where you need to be. Hey, Nate, can
Speaker 4: you give me a better look on this field because
Speaker 4: this is what this guy liked to do. Hey, Charles,
Speaker 4: he don't do it like that. Can I get some
Speaker 4: of you after the ability today out on the field.
Speaker 4: I don't need you in the locker room sleep today.
Speaker 4: I need to get you out on the field. Okay,
Speaker 4: big noon. If you need me, I'm out there. Hey Nate,
Speaker 4: you need to come get on the stepper today. We
Speaker 4: need to get some of this fatness. I'm serious. I'm
Speaker 4: being honest. How we talked to one another, how we
Speaker 4: held one another accountable. So it didn't come down to Jimmy.
Speaker 4: It didn't come down to one stat it didn't come
Speaker 4: down to North Turner. It came down to what these guys,
Speaker 4: these seven or eight guys, believe that we could do.
Speaker 4: If I'm in today's society. Everybody looks at they said,
Speaker 4: Jesse does several shows and he looks at himself to
Speaker 4: make sure that he's not saying the wrong thing or
Speaker 4: putting things in the wrong content. These guys over here
Speaker 4: got several look at yourself. Look look and see how
Speaker 4: you sound after a game, and then look at the
Speaker 4: film and see does it match your intensity, match what
Speaker 4: you're saying. It's a big gap. It's a big gap.
Speaker 4: It comes a point not only for quarterbacks when when
Speaker 4: you say, hey, quarterback is seeing everything.
Speaker 2: This is Parson going on fourth year. Have you not
Speaker 2: seen everything? What can they give you? Curse? Have you
Speaker 2: not seen everything? Now? Sam?
Speaker 4: Okay, I understand, bro, you make bad decisions. But guess what, Hey, Nate,
Speaker 4: we're finisha do a hard count. De Troy been talking
Speaker 4: to me. Hey, Nate, look at here A right low left,
Speaker 4: I right tight end? Why option to the left? Hey man,
Speaker 4: we're gonna do this, Nate. And it's a hard too,
Speaker 4: Blue thirty nine, Blue thirty nine. Nate understand hard too,
Speaker 4: But it's going on three. I'm gonna say hut hut,
Speaker 4: and then we're gonna snap the ball.
Speaker 2: Now. For a while, they it was just like that.
Speaker 4: People are like, oh, Nate got leave you yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: oh yeah, but I got three Super Bowl ras yeah.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Nate said, I'm saying, are these guys that
Speaker 4: I don't know what they're doing over there? And I'm
Speaker 4: not saying they don't do that, but seemed like to me,
Speaker 4: somebody gotta say, you know what, never again two hundred
Speaker 4: and sixty six yards. That's why I asked you to
Speaker 4: do that. No, no, no, and I and I appreciate that, man,
Speaker 4: because I feel like what we were talking about off
Speaker 4: air is players policing themselves. And that's where I think
Speaker 4: the biggest question where you guys are, because when you
Speaker 4: see certain things come out in the media, it reeks
Speaker 4: of who y'all talking to, even if y'all talking to
Speaker 4: each other, Am I you know down your street?
Speaker 2: On this?
Speaker 6: No, I'm I mean, I'll give you an example, and
Speaker 6: this is it happened earlier this year, right, and it
Speaker 6: happens on the it happened on the offensive side of
Speaker 6: the ball. We watched CD lamb out on the field.
Speaker 6: We watched him kind of upset on the field, yes,
Speaker 6: and then we watched him for weeks sublimately say things
Speaker 6: throughout the media. Right, you were in the same damn
Speaker 6: locker room with the guy that you gotta have an
Speaker 6: issue with you. You one floor from the coaches office.
Speaker 6: How is it that you are upset here? Pout here,
Speaker 6: subliminals here, but you won't walk down six lockers and go, hey, dog.
Speaker 5: Let's have a conversation.
Speaker 11: Now.
Speaker 6: I was in Atlanta with you this offseason and I
Speaker 6: came to the backyard and there's some things that you
Speaker 6: and I the way this is supposed to go and
Speaker 6: it ain't going. Or hey, coach, let me how about
Speaker 6: you for a second. I know that we got this
Speaker 6: new Texas Coast thing going on here, but I'm the
Speaker 6: alpha dog out here. I need to see no offense
Speaker 6: to Michael. But those ten targets you through to him.
Speaker 6: I need to see those on my way.
Speaker 4: And did you not see a little bit of that
Speaker 4: after that episode with CD where things did start to change,
Speaker 4: they started you started to see the hot.
Speaker 2: Took weeks either way.
Speaker 6: It took weeks from a player two players not communicating
Speaker 6: with one another.
Speaker 2: Yes, it took weeks for.
Speaker 5: That to happen.
Speaker 6: So when you want to tell me about a brotherhood,
Speaker 6: and when you want to tell me that I'm holding
Speaker 6: each other accountable for what we're doing, there shouldn't be
Speaker 6: subliminals in the in the in the in the media.
Speaker 6: There shouldn't be pouting on the field. I should be
Speaker 6: able to come. This is what Nate saying. Nate saying
Speaker 6: back in the day, I could come to you like, hey, dog,
Speaker 6: Michael Ivan, go hey, you know, listen, Larry Woody, this
Speaker 6: ain't right.
Speaker 5: Dog, get this right, and they get it right.
Speaker 6: Not this whole I'm gonna walk around the situation and
Speaker 6: I think the same thing defensively, right you you hear
Speaker 6: little things, and we.
Speaker 5: Need to do this, and certain guys need to do this, and.
Speaker 2: Who whoa, whoa, whoa whoa.
Speaker 6: Especially when it comes from the dudes who are supposed
Speaker 6: to be the leaders. That has to be. That has
Speaker 6: to be the combination where whoever that leader is, I
Speaker 6: snatch up this guy or I snatch up this guy
Speaker 6: and I we have a conversation and I say, hey,
Speaker 6: if we're going to actually do what we say we
Speaker 6: want to do, and here's what we have to get better.
Speaker 6: And I don't know if that's a consistent thing that
Speaker 6: is happening all the time.
Speaker 2: So let me ask you.
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously, the ultimate goal when you come into
Speaker 4: the season is to win a Super bowl.
Speaker 2: Everybody's on that page.
Speaker 4: And you even started off by saying, Hey, I don't
Speaker 4: know what those guys are talking about over there, and
Speaker 4: so it's kind of I don't want to assume that
Speaker 4: they're not communicating.
Speaker 5: Yeah, a lot of times that I'll say stuff and
Speaker 5: I'll go.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't what it is.
Speaker 4: What it is the thing that we have to do,
Speaker 4: exactly things that we have to do, I don't.
Speaker 6: I don't always just say a thing off the cuffs,
Speaker 6: and sometimes like yo, I don't want to say.
Speaker 2: Like well, but yeah, you know it. You know it
Speaker 2: to be true.
Speaker 5: You have to be you have to be mister Triplett.
Speaker 2: You have to be Parsons.
Speaker 4: Parsons is the guy that I need.
Speaker 6: For him to take over this game, the game, or
Speaker 6: or the leadership the game.
Speaker 4: See, Troy never said much. Michael was our heart. He
Speaker 4: did all the speaking. But he can look at Troy
Speaker 4: in his eyes and know that something need to be said.
Speaker 4: But some guys just need to play somehow, some way.
Speaker 4: Michael Parson has to take over this game. And it
Speaker 4: can't be after the offense get seven or eight or
Speaker 4: fourteen point lead. You have to do this somehow, some
Speaker 4: way at the beginning of the game. You have to
Speaker 4: affect this game, whether all the pressures they say you getting.
Speaker 4: I want to see it at the beginning of the game.
Speaker 4: Don't wait, take over the game. Then I'm talking to
Speaker 4: Deep Law next, take over the game. I need you
Speaker 4: to take over the game. Is saying something that can't happen. No, no, no,
Speaker 4: I think there's what you've been calling for. You've seen
Speaker 4: glimpses of that throughout the season. I think you need
Speaker 4: more of it here at the end of the season.
Speaker 4: But I remember, Hey, Chris Bean, would you please do
Speaker 4: me a favor after Kyle you leaves this uh podcast studio?
Speaker 4: Replace that microphone.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: I don't want to touch nothing that Kyle Yoemans is
Speaker 4: touching because this man is having triplets and I'm scared
Speaker 4: of him.
Speaker 7: Why are you scared of what.
Speaker 4: Like this?
Speaker 7: I don't think it's contagious triplets out the gate?
Speaker 5: Yeah, bro, how do you even prepare for that?
Speaker 9: How even you don't ask me again in like three
Speaker 9: months when I'm actually a father of three?
Speaker 2: That's what it's going to be.
Speaker 4: Man, you look like a North Texas coach right now.
Speaker 4: So what you got going on?
Speaker 7: It's just North Texas Pride.
Speaker 2: It's Friday for you.
Speaker 4: We're in the middle of a deep conversation about leadership
Speaker 4: that Nate made me ask. He teased, I teased it
Speaker 4: in the first made may question made me ask the
Speaker 4: questions me a.
Speaker 2: Couple of times.
Speaker 9: We'll be on the break and he'll be like, let
Speaker 9: me tell you something, Yeah, and he lines up a
Speaker 9: whole nother conversation. I'm like, Nate's yeah, no, ask the question.
Speaker 2: But I got it.
Speaker 4: I mean, because obviously you cover the team. You see
Speaker 4: a lot of what's going on in the locker room,
Speaker 4: and the question is this team as far as leadership,
Speaker 4: how this continues to happen to them on the road
Speaker 4: in the running game. And so it's basically coming down
Speaker 4: to a want to A guy's playing a bigger, bigger
Speaker 4: part of what their role is. What are you seeing
Speaker 4: in that as far as the pulse of this team.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, it's hard not being inside those walls, right, Like,
Speaker 9: you're not in the team meeting. The only time that
Speaker 9: we're inside the walls is during open locker room, and
Speaker 9: you're always gonna get the media answer to a certain
Speaker 9: extent from those guys, and it starts with your quarterback.
Speaker 9: But defensively, you need somebody to step up to.
Speaker 7: And I agree with Nate, I really do. I think
Speaker 7: it starts with Michael Parsons. If you're the.
Speaker 9: Guy who's one willing to voice your opinion, because he's
Speaker 9: certainly willing to voice, whether it's in a positive way
Speaker 9: or a disgruntled way, he's going to make his voice
Speaker 9: be heard. If he's willing to do that, he's got
Speaker 9: to be the one to set the tone. And he's
Speaker 9: got to set a tone from a play standpoint and
Speaker 9: from a voice standpoint, and guys gravitate toward Michael Parsons.
Speaker 9: I think one guy that's a little underrated is Layton Vandersch.
Speaker 9: A lot of guys listening to Layton, and when he's
Speaker 9: not in the fold it it does have an effect.
Speaker 9: And I was talking with de mon Clark last week
Speaker 9: before going into that Buffalo game and I just kind
Speaker 9: of jokingly made the suggestion. I was like, you guys
Speaker 9: gonna wear sleeves in the cold linebackers. You guys are
Speaker 9: gonna wear sleeves. He said, no, Layton said, we're not
Speaker 9: wearing sleeves, and we're not wearing sleeves. It's like Layton
Speaker 9: had been on the field in a month. He hasn't
Speaker 9: been a part of this team, and yet he still
Speaker 9: has a leadership role, just even in something as small
Speaker 9: as that, and that that spoke volumes, and I think
Speaker 9: Damon's done a nice job of stepping into a tough
Speaker 9: situation and stepping up and having a voice. Even in
Speaker 9: that that same conversation he told Marquise Bell came over,
Speaker 9: asked a question and Damon had an answer for him
Speaker 9: right away, didn't even have to look at the phone,
Speaker 9: got him set. They both went off to meetings, and
Speaker 9: so there's there's leadership there, But from an overall standpoint,
Speaker 9: you need somebody to rally behind, and I think it
Speaker 9: starts with Micah.
Speaker 4: Guys, let's let's uh, let's switch gears here on it's
Speaker 4: still on the defensive side of the ball.
Speaker 2: But when you look at a guy like Tarik Hill, the.
Speaker 4: Year that he's having the skills that he has, it
Speaker 4: ain't seen anything like this before ever. I'm sure there's
Speaker 4: nothing to have. What's his name, tell me we'll give
Speaker 4: you a birth.
Speaker 2: Of tip get on.
Speaker 4: Well, the last time you've seen it, but they weren't
Speaker 4: smart enough to use him enough and that was right there, yeah, bull,
Speaker 4: but not in a magical way, Bob straight past me.
Speaker 2: But this guy does it in a magical.
Speaker 4: What I mean being a formal receiver, what do you
Speaker 4: think when you when you see a guy like to kill.
Speaker 6: Kill every times, when you break the huddle and line up.
Speaker 5: And that's and and and.
Speaker 6: You know that that dude is zero to sixty in
Speaker 6: a blink, it changes everything.
Speaker 5: And when you have that level of speed where.
Speaker 6: You you put fear into people's hearts and you put
Speaker 6: your question marks in their.
Speaker 5: Mind, cannot cannot.
Speaker 6: It's it's I mean, I've seen, like, I've seen the
Speaker 6: fear of what it is to deal with Megatron. I've
Speaker 6: seen the fear of what it is to deal with
Speaker 6: Randy Moss, right, I've seen the fear of having to
Speaker 6: meet Adrian Peterson in the in the end of the
Speaker 6: A gap, Right, I've seen I've seen the law right.
Speaker 6: But this, that type of speed is is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let me now this, and I hate to do this,
Speaker 4: but I got to. You can get one of the
Speaker 4: fastest Porsches in the world, Porsche and Porsche, Yeah, you
Speaker 4: can get it. You can line it up out there
Speaker 4: on six thirty five, and you can put a Tesla
Speaker 4: next to it. That port you take off. All it want,
Speaker 4: all that do with that pors do is just brash
Speaker 4: the gas. He was zip past you. And that's what
Speaker 4: this kid is. He's a Tesla Brola.
Speaker 7: I'm a car guy, and so like these comparisons.
Speaker 4: You could say, go get your fastest production Porsche that
Speaker 4: runs on this on the highway in the street. You
Speaker 4: put it up next to our boy. Isaiah said, maybe
Speaker 4: it's just the way.
Speaker 7: I think that's what it is.
Speaker 4: No Teslas go from like zero to sixth and like
Speaker 4: one point some seconds.
Speaker 2: The fastest Porsche is.
Speaker 4: Three seconds, four seconds by the time you get the
Speaker 4: second gear.
Speaker 2: I'm throwing down, bro, this dhoe. This kid is. You
Speaker 2: got to know, you know, I don't talk a lot, bro.
Speaker 4: But I do my research, you know, and I'm telling you,
Speaker 4: like it's right here. Bob Hayes was straight ahead and
Speaker 4: he would just run away from people. This kid drags
Speaker 4: across the field. This kid goes in motion. And what
Speaker 4: you say, Jesse, he does a double motion.
Speaker 6: With their offense is a double motion, right, They'll they'll
Speaker 6: send the first motion to kind of see like, hey,
Speaker 6: what y'all doing? And then the second motion is a
Speaker 6: full speed motion and it's timed up with the snap.
Speaker 7: Now you got to be on top of it.
Speaker 6: And if you're imagine him going across the field and
Speaker 6: you thinking about you trailing him, I don't care, Gilly blayd.
Speaker 5: Uhhh, joy Lee, be a step behind him if you
Speaker 5: want to, Yeah, no, night night.
Speaker 4: Can you imagine just lining up like this right here
Speaker 4: in front of this dude, not flat footed.
Speaker 2: I'm turned the other way, getting ready to run out of.
Speaker 7: You're already behind.
Speaker 4: And I know the tesla thing was probably a bad
Speaker 4: people that don't know how fast these cars is because
Speaker 4: I know, but this kid is a Tesla. This dude
Speaker 4: is what you call now speed. You ain't never seen
Speaker 4: this before. And most people will line up on a
Speaker 4: tesla with they look Amars and they little Mustangs and
Speaker 4: they little Corvette and getting blowed out the water and
Speaker 4: then they'd be like, wow, I said, you just saw
Speaker 4: the cheeta baby like this.
Speaker 7: The new Seed metaphor made it better that mad.
Speaker 6: Because its bout the pistol folks off everybody like the
Speaker 6: car enthusing.
Speaker 2: You know, if.
Speaker 6: If Patrick was here, he come down you know he's
Speaker 6: a car he's gearhead.
Speaker 5: Gear heads. Yep, he's a gear head.
Speaker 2: So he will come down and be like he can
Speaker 2: come down all he won't.
Speaker 4: Just snatched him, snatched him plats right out of his head.
Speaker 4: That's what that test. A little dude, come on down.
Speaker 4: I got Jesse bro Jesse school him one time? Is
Speaker 4: school him again?
Speaker 7: Trying to start start.
Speaker 2: So this is what we're gonna do. We're gonna take
Speaker 2: a break on.
Speaker 4: The snatching plats. We're gonna take a final break here
Speaker 4: on the players lounge and be right back.

Speaker 7: What they get you on.
Speaker 2: I got myself. I was reading the thousands in the middle
Speaker 2: of trying to be.
Speaker 5: The last, trying to Santa Claus Christian.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, somewhere somewhere in there in the twenty four just
Speaker 4: didn't didn't go down right.
Speaker 5: Sat Nick was on his back.
Speaker 6: It was like that girl I dumped on my back
Speaker 6: of saying, friend, it just wore your dad difficult.
Speaker 2: Other different gorilla.
Speaker 9: Gorilla Apex president was see but did you get monument
Speaker 9: reality right?
Speaker 2: I got that right off the top.
Speaker 5: Sponsor I got that, well, no, you got the sponsor right.
Speaker 7: It was just as long as you get what's paying
Speaker 7: the pill.
Speaker 2: Man I got. I got offensive guys in the building. Man.
Speaker 4: So I got to ask the question about Dak Prescott.
Speaker 4: We had we talked all about the defense because we
Speaker 4: know we got a cheatah that we gotta deal in
Speaker 4: continue with, and also a running game. But this offense,
Speaker 4: obviously last week it kind of felt like they took
Speaker 4: a step back. You have some guys that are hurt
Speaker 4: on the offensive line. What do you guys, how do
Speaker 4: you guys view this game offensively and what's the scheme
Speaker 4: that you need to see in order for us to
Speaker 4: get a victory.
Speaker 2: I'll start with you, Nate, not all at once. I
Speaker 2: defer to Jesse, all right.
Speaker 6: You know for me, when you when you look at
Speaker 6: how this game plays out, I think there has to
Speaker 6: be a strategic move and about how you approached this.
Speaker 6: I think the Cowboys' best defense will be their offense,
Speaker 6: meaning that I need to have long, sustained drives that
Speaker 6: ending touchdowns.
Speaker 5: I have to win the time of.
Speaker 2: Possession, contextualize that by how you do it, you.
Speaker 6: Get And this is gonna be difficult now because you're
Speaker 6: talking about Zach Martin potentially not according to Jerry.
Speaker 7: I think he's gonna be fine.
Speaker 9: Okay, he was out there today and then Tyroncarthy gave
Speaker 9: us an update. Tyrone was not out there today, so
Speaker 9: in the Mike McCarthy update.
Speaker 6: So now we got to figure out, Okay, if we're
Speaker 6: missing one of the dogs up front, right, how can
Speaker 6: we put a run game together? It starts there, It
Speaker 6: starts running the ball up front. This defense and the
Speaker 6: Vic Fangio defense, they're not bringing multiple pressures. They want
Speaker 6: to get They want to use their down for a linement.
Speaker 6: They want to use those guys, those stunt they'll do
Speaker 6: all the kind of stuff. But they want to drop
Speaker 6: a bunch of guys in coverage. Yeah, they want they
Speaker 6: want to make Dak Prescott have to sift through that, right,
Speaker 6: So anytime you play that type of two high man
Speaker 6: match type thing that they do when they're in their situation,
Speaker 6: light box, right, light box, we have to attack that.
Speaker 5: We have to do what others do to us. Light box.
Speaker 5: Let's run the football.
Speaker 6: Let's be committed to doing it, not just to not
Speaker 6: run the football to beat our heads into the the wall,
Speaker 6: but run the full all what they plan. And then
Speaker 6: once we get to a situation where now we can
Speaker 6: kind of feel good about the rhythm that we're in now,
Speaker 6: just start methodically picking these guys apart. Right, They're not
Speaker 6: gonna give you over the top stuff.
Speaker 2: They're not.
Speaker 5: Hey, Jake Ferk, might be a big day for you, buddy.
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: Linebackers to me a little bit sussy, a little suss, Right,
Speaker 6: they're not. They're not the best guys in coverage. You
Speaker 6: know what I mean, not the best guys in coverage.
Speaker 6: So say that a little sussy, little sussy the US
Speaker 6: along Duke Riley, Come on, fellas, Yeah.
Speaker 7: This you didn't even mention Christian Wilkins.
Speaker 2: No, No, that's that's Steven's lime.
Speaker 7: I'm talking.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about linebackers.
Speaker 4: Yes, sir Jesse repeated that I heard other shows repeated
Speaker 4: if the weak spot is that, if they're gonna give
Speaker 4: us that.
Speaker 2: That that that two box, if they're gonna let us run.
Speaker 4: This is a game with Tony Polar swing that ball
Speaker 4: to him out of the backfield, line him up on
Speaker 4: the end of the line. Make these line backers tackle.
Speaker 4: Their safety is listen to Isaiah this one. They don't
Speaker 4: have to have physical safeties, but not real good tackling safeties.
Speaker 2: No, ferg Man, Ferd Schoolmaker. This is where he has
Speaker 2: an offensive coordinator. No, no, stay with me here. This
Speaker 2: is where you got to drop him. You got to
Speaker 2: hang them.
Speaker 4: Bruh.
Speaker 5: So you compare that to like a tank a mack truck, and.
Speaker 2: You have to you say, how do you get down
Speaker 2: the field?
Speaker 4: Yes, sir Tony Potot outside running Tony Pottot outside swing
Speaker 4: pass Tony Pollard on a wheel route. This is the
Speaker 4: things you do, Jake Ferguson down the scene, Jake Ferguson
Speaker 4: dragging across that favorite route you like where you run
Speaker 4: the ride, rest, drag him in behind. This is how
Speaker 4: you go down the field ten yards, five yards, three yards,
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden you're in the red zone.
Speaker 4: Now when you're in the red zone five and in
Speaker 4: run the ball. Twice lip Key showed that he can
Speaker 4: dig a line back, load left or load right.
Speaker 2: Dig this line back out.
Speaker 4: And let Tony find the space in there. This is
Speaker 4: how you can beat this team. And in the process,
Speaker 4: now you're looking at thirty five minutes in.
Speaker 2: His game game over. But if you do it any
Speaker 2: other way, if you.
Speaker 9: Consist, Bob was gonna say, I think y'all are saying
Speaker 9: similar things in the same time time of possession. You
Speaker 9: control time of possession if you're able to run the ball.
Speaker 9: The problem with this front seven from Miami is Christian
Speaker 9: Wilkins and Davis on the inside.
Speaker 7: Those are two big bodies that seal down low. Yeah,
Speaker 7: sealer as well. They they only have those.
Speaker 9: Four down linemen for a reason, because they can get
Speaker 9: home and they can hold their block or hold their gap.
Speaker 9: That's the one thing I'm worried about. If there's gonna
Speaker 9: be any sort of run game, it's probably not gonna
Speaker 9: come within the tackles. You're gonna have to get the
Speaker 9: screen game going outside. You might try those long handoffs
Speaker 9: where you've got Brandon Cooks or Ceedee Lamb situated behind
Speaker 9: some blockers outside on the numbers. That's the type of
Speaker 9: opening I see of available because it's front seven.
Speaker 7: When you mentioned the linebackers, I really like Van Ginkel,
Speaker 7: Andrew Van Ginkle, long hair, he looks like he's an guy. Yeah,
Speaker 7: he's an guy. He's downhill, he's an guy all over
Speaker 7: the place.
Speaker 2: Good ta lies.
Speaker 5: He's a football player, dude, That's what I.
Speaker 2: Said, football players, jual lies. Listen to what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: Him off. You can't knock off, you can't.
Speaker 2: Visual line outside.
Speaker 4: This is what I'm talking about. They run a three
Speaker 4: four basic defense. Yeah, variations off of that. Tony Pollard out.
Speaker 4: Tony Pollard out, Tony Pollard out brings the linebackers up.
Speaker 2: Jake in behind the BikeE, Jake in behind you. He's
Speaker 2: who's been beating Dack throwing up the scene. This hit
Speaker 2: him a couple of times. Now you got your say
Speaker 2: this that.
Speaker 4: Okay, we better come up and make this play because
Speaker 4: Jake ain't going down easy.
Speaker 2: And all of a sudden we just leaked that number
Speaker 2: three right in behind him and we get him.
Speaker 4: Visual line, if you don't try to get out, you
Speaker 4: don't try to get outside. Come on now, don't beat
Speaker 4: yourself up. Don't don't overthink this man.
Speaker 7: But that's exactly it. You're not gonna get it in
Speaker 7: between the tackles.
Speaker 5: That but but you don't want to be there. Your
Speaker 5: running game.
Speaker 6: But your running game isn't it in between the tackle
Speaker 6: type of running game anyway?
Speaker 7: Yeah, it shouldn't be.
Speaker 5: It's more trying to make it that way. It's more
Speaker 5: on the edge.
Speaker 6: I like when you get Terren Steele and and he's pulling.
Speaker 6: I don't like when he's I know. I like when
Speaker 6: I when I get the young boy Tyler Smith pulling.
Speaker 6: Let's get these dudes, let's get the parade.
Speaker 7: I think we just solved the problem.
Speaker 5: I think we just solved the cowboys.
Speaker 2: When when the plane take off? When the plane take off?
Speaker 4: Saturday I'm gonna store you guys, all of us gonna
Speaker 4: store ourselves down there with the luggage, and then we're
Speaker 4: gonna get off.
Speaker 2: The plane with them.
Speaker 4: And then when when the play college stought Wenna, we're
Speaker 4: gonna store in the booth.
Speaker 7: Do we need to bring our own headsets? Or we're
Speaker 7: just gonna take it?
Speaker 2: Will take this, Okay, I'm taking Quinn Quinn. Look at him,
Speaker 2: eighth man in the box.
Speaker 7: I'd be like, all right, it's Quinn. Y'all are on defense.
Speaker 7: Get out of the way.
Speaker 2: Give me your headset, Kyle. I gotta ask you a question.
Speaker 2: I think that the podcast pick.
Speaker 4: This week is which which receiver on either team is
Speaker 4: going to have the most receptions.
Speaker 9: I can tell you what's going to be the most
Speaker 9: popular answer, and it's Tyreek Hill. That's not my answer,
Speaker 9: and it's one of the ones that Jesse just brought up.
Speaker 7: It's Jake Ferguson.
Speaker 5: Okay, what am I gonna say? Was gonna say the
Speaker 5: other guy?
Speaker 6: And I brought up that's what I pick. Everybody's been
Speaker 6: actual picked. A lot of guys picked.
Speaker 5: Jake Ferguson, he picked you picked Waddle.
Speaker 9: Yeah, he he did shine as the number one last
Speaker 9: week when when Hill was out, he had a career
Speaker 9: high one hundred and forty two yards.
Speaker 7: He's been great.
Speaker 9: He's the eighth leading receiver since the start of last
Speaker 9: year in the NFL.
Speaker 7: People forget about.
Speaker 5: If dan Quinn.
Speaker 6: If dan Quinn has not put together a plan to
Speaker 6: double Tyreek Hill, I don't know.
Speaker 5: What he's doing.
Speaker 6: Like there's no way, there's no way that you you
Speaker 6: don't have the dogs to run with him. There has
Speaker 6: to be in a sort of effort to eliminate him.
Speaker 9: And you don't want to run like single high man
Speaker 9: and just see what Jordan Lewis has good luck.
Speaker 2: He listens to the question.
Speaker 9: Like don't bite, no, no, you gotta have some sort
Speaker 9: of double team. But it's been shown in the past
Speaker 9: even a double team is not gonna slow him down,
Speaker 9: like completely. You can you can limit him. If you
Speaker 9: can limit Tyreek Hill, I think you've got a really
Speaker 9: good shot to win.
Speaker 6: And that's why I said, That's why I said waddle
Speaker 6: on the other side, right, because he's gonna get the
Speaker 6: one on one match. If he's gonna get lined up
Speaker 6: with Gilly, he's gonna get lined up with Bland and
Speaker 6: with that speed, I just know that. I mean, hell,
Speaker 6: we played off on guys who can't blow by you, right,
Speaker 6: We're playing ten yards off guys who can't run by you.
Speaker 6: So all of a sudden, now you think this is
Speaker 6: the game that you want to come up in and
Speaker 6: test your press skills. I get a coach of Al Harris,
Speaker 6: who was one of the Al Harris, if y'all don't know,
Speaker 6: was one of the best, one of the best press corners.
Speaker 6: I was a young boy in Cincinnati with Chad o
Speaker 6: Chosinka was my og and to watch he would he
Speaker 6: would get up in Chad stuff and be like and
Speaker 6: grab Chad, you let chat.
Speaker 5: Chad will tell you one of.
Speaker 6: The best press corners he's ever had your face was
Speaker 6: Al Harris. I don't know if this is the game
Speaker 6: I want to start testing my press skill coverage.
Speaker 4: I don't know how you change I don't do not
Speaker 4: know how you change your spots quickly. And if you do,
Speaker 4: I mean it's gonna be a hell of a plan
Speaker 4: that they put together specifically for Tarik Hill because he
Speaker 4: is their offense. But my pick for that, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with the guy you was just talking about. Pouting,
Speaker 4: go with CD. If you're gonna do all that now.
Speaker 5: I have to don't bring up that old stuff.
Speaker 2: You said it.
Speaker 5: I was ten weeks ago. I was I was making
Speaker 5: a point.
Speaker 7: I say, I was like, wait, when was he powdering?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no now, but I was making a point.
Speaker 7: That the body language was a conversation.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you said, I goess my man bringing up I'm
Speaker 4: going I'm going CD, because man, you gotta prove it.
Speaker 4: This is Michael Irvin Dale Green. Come on, you gotta
Speaker 4: prove it. Nia's you gotta prove it. You're gonna have
Speaker 4: these matchups. You can't run away from it.
Speaker 2: You can't. So CD and Jaalen Ramsey you gotta do them.
Speaker 4: You gotta cook him, okay, because the thing is, the
Speaker 4: thing is is you know they're gonna move him around.
Speaker 4: And Jalen Ramsey is a guy that's gonna travel. He
Speaker 4: likes to play in the slot because he's physical enough
Speaker 4: and believes he's fast enough.
Speaker 2: He's gonna try. I believe he's gonna travel city.
Speaker 5: It's gonna be a sassine man, It's.
Speaker 4: Gonna be a great game. I want to see that
Speaker 4: the eighty eight prevail who'd you pick to win?
Speaker 2: Waddle? No, No, who'd you pick to win the game?
Speaker 5: Miami?
Speaker 2: What was your score?
Speaker 5: Thirty to twenty?
Speaker 2: Wow? Big name who you picked about one and a
Speaker 2: half half a point? Ay, this thing it's gonna be
Speaker 2: let from point.
