1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Good morning, Lawrence. How are you good? Great? Thank you?

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: Do you like playing in adverse conditions like that last night?

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: Of course? Football weather? You know, rain, snow. I can't

4
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: playing a lot of rain games, a lot of negative

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: degree weather games. It's always started to playing though, because

6
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: you prepare for something like that, but once you get

7
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: out there, they're really hitching, like I'm truly prepared, but

8
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: I'm won't figure out how to get you get through this, Lawrence.

9
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: You're the perfect guy to settle this debate. There there

10
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: is a line of thinking out there that NFL running

11
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: backs are all pretty similar and if it's blocked well

12
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: and if the plays called well, a running back can

13
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: get as many yards as the next running back. There's

14
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 1: also a school thought that some of them are are

15
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: very different, including a guy like Ezekiel Elliott. So for you,

16
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: is that somebody who has sort of a different skill

17
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: set than just your average average running back or is

18
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: the NFL once you're at that level, all those guys

19
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: can play. No, No, not at all, like exactly the

20
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: different skills sets that everything a young about um isn't.

21
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: It's like saying that ezek Elliott and Um Marshall Lynch

22
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: on the same running back. There's two different completely running backs,

23
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,919
Speaker 1: so different skills set and you got to practice prepare

24
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: for that skill set up running back. Some run backs

25
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: going down here powerful running, some are more and excludes

26
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: up in some like the Adrian Peterson might eat give

27
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 1: him a space and he could break you sixty yards.

28
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: So every running back is different, and you test to

29
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: be on your your your technique to the extreme to

30
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: understand what selim running BacT that that you're dealing with

31
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: and get to play every down hard because you know

32
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: they're able to break a big play good. That's on

33
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: my side. So at least that's a point for me. Now,

34
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: now you did you guys did a good job against

35
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: the Zekiel a decent job against him. What what makes

36
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: him difficult? You talk about skill set? What are the

37
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: things that makes him a difficult running back? You know

38
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: he's a very patient and explosest running back. And to

39
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: dealing with a running back that it's so patient, is

40
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: willing to wait behind his blockers and wait for the opening.

41
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: It makes me very difficult because as defense, a linement

42
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: speaking for ourselves is is you're like, okay, can you

43
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: get off the block? I need to make sure I

44
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: push this guy in this gap, get off the block,

45
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: and make a tackle. But you have to now slow

46
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: your game down, like I can't get off the blocker

47
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: side because I want to try to hold on a

48
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: little bit more. Let him declare. Because it was a

49
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: running back like that, he could be in one gap

50
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: in one second and you're declared into that gap, and

51
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: he could jump back into the other one. So that's

52
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: the most difficult thing you have to really play for

53
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: the understanding that he's able to switch gas on a

54
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: pen and understanding like I need to be in this gap,

55
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: I need to get pressure and get my hands off,

56
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 1: and when I see him declare, get off the line.

57
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: Can't get off the block too soon, and you can't

58
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: get off the block too late. So if it's just

59
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: one of those aspects of the game that you're just

60
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: truly trying to control, it seemed as though either the

61
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys offensive line did a good job on keeping Dak

62
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: Prescott fairly clean in the pocket, or perhaps game plan

63
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: was that you guys weren't rushing the passer as much,

64
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: which was it, Well, is the game plan for us

65
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: to pass? They're good off of the line, and um

66
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: that's getting the ball out pretty quick. So that aspect

67
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: of it was just do what we gotta do. You know,

68
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: you can't be too concerned about, oh, we need to

69
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: get more pressure. I want to get this all we

70
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: had to be concerned about will playing every single down

71
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: to bestI we can and we're putting a good coverage.

72
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: It was good to runh good run. Defense, was good

73
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: plays and and consistently this stack them together because if

74
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: you were about we need to get more pressure game pressure,

75
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: and you just don't out blit, you're neglecting everything else.

76
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: You can't they good at something else to try to

77
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: accomplidence something. You just have to play the game or

78
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: how it's going. And that's how the game unvoted. Have

79
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: you allowed yourself to think about the Pro Bowl at all?

80
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: Is that? Is that a goal of yours? Oh, it's

81
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: the goal for everybody, But I'm not. I'm not focused

82
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: on or anything like, hey, that's something that's pressure or anything.

83
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: The team that we're playing this week or the week

84
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: coming up and trying to prepare for the own fuck

85
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: out that got didn't have a really good game, and

86
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: you know, and that's the whole aspect of it is

87
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: can we go out there and played good football and

88
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: not worried about all this off the field stuff. And

89
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: it's definitely, you know, a team game and the defense

90
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: has played so well, so good as a team, But individually,

91
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: do you feel like you're playing better this year or

92
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: year's past? Or is it is it? Is it too

93
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: tough to compare? Well? You know, I feel like I'm

94
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: playing real good football this year. I feel like I

95
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: played real good last year. But I felt like as

96
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: a unit, we're playing really good together. And that's contributes

97
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: to the way I played and the way everybody else

98
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: played in the times who played good together individual success

99
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: that Tim get um right up now, Bill, Bill Belichick.

100
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: One of the things Mike Lombardi had wrote a book

101
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: with him and talked about one of his his his

102
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: top stats and which was first half point differential. Now,

103
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: as a team, I think you guys have done a

104
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: great job defensively going into the lead, going into halftime

105
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: with the lead. How important is it for you and

106
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: how difficult does it make the offense for the other team?

107
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: Know that, hey, when you when you have a lead,

108
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: you're able to do some things differently from the defensive

109
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: standard point and also how difficult it makes teams have

110
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: to play offensively. You know, going in with the lead

111
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: is a big port of the game. Halftime it's different.

112
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: So having the league going into third quarter, the aspect

113
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: of his score, how the big the lead is, um

114
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: going into the fourth quarter time down one, how big

115
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: your lead is and you release seven points, you just

116
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: trying to get the test at least three. The game

117
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: could easily be a balanced game, like you've blown out

118
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: the team. You have to play until passing ame. But

119
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: as we go into halftime, we don't look at it

120
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: as we had the league. We're going to half time

121
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: to score zero zero. We're gonna come out at the

122
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: beginning of the game, compete every single down, but we

123
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: can make sure that we have the mentality to finish,

124
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 1: you know, because when you go into half hunt we

125
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: have the league. We need to sern that house. You

126
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: have come back and then out performing after the half.

127
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: So you have to come in after halftime with the

128
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: mindset of zero zero. All right, You've got to settle

129
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: a small controversy for US. Julian Edelman was on the

130
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: station Friday, all In on the Mandalorian Tom Brady was

131
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: on this morning I don't think he's watched The Mandalorian

132
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: at all. Which side are you on? I haven't watched
