0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 1>taste in music, I love it all man. He loves

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>eighties movies. It's it's funny because with Nate, I think

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Nate missed his calling. I think he could have been

0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:20.520
<v Speaker 1>an overnight disc jockey, one of those, you know, for

0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:25.079
<v Speaker 1>stations in Detroit or Chicago. I mean, your taste of music,

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 1>is is unique in a way that I would not

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 1>have thought that your taste with you know, Eddie and

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 1>the Cruisers. Yeah, when I was, I was like, you're like,

<v Speaker 1>you it's a lot of as your upbringing, though you

0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>know it's in various parts you cut you think, well, okay,

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 1>well house music has music affect me and stuff. But yeah,

0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:13.760
<v Speaker 1>you have a good taste, good taste of music. And

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.320
<v Speaker 1>he's got a good eye for practice. We're gonna get

0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 1>into that. And Cowboys have had a couple of practices

0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I believe since our last show, and one guy in

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 1>particular has showed up and look pretty good first time

0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.960
<v Speaker 1>in camp number ninety four. Randy Gregory like in that,

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 1>let's start off with that. You know, my point on

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:35.600
<v Speaker 1>it was, I didn't care how well he practiced. What

0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.880
<v Speaker 1>he did in practice. The fact that he practiced after

0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:42.200
<v Speaker 1>missing all that time and he's back in pads, I

0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 1>think is sort of a triumph pumpler itself. Uh and

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 1>then anything after that is gravy. And he actually started

0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:52.960
<v Speaker 1>showing some of the signs we saw of ya. This

0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 1>guy can rush the quarterback. You know, nothing else he

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 1>can rush the quarterback. And uh so, yeah, I thought

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 1>it was a good start for him. And you know,

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 1>when I think the players see that, Nate, you tell

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:06.680
<v Speaker 1>me when you get an addition like that, I think

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 1>he kind of juices everybody else up. Yeah, I just

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 1>got it. You know you're rooting for He's just a

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 1>guy that everybody's rooting for us, So you feel good

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.280
<v Speaker 1>for him when you see him out of moving around

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.120
<v Speaker 1>with a team. Well, they had him in a Nickel's

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:23.120
<v Speaker 1>situation yesterday as playing that right defensive end, and you

0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:26.039
<v Speaker 1>know it was against the one so well against the

0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:29.120
<v Speaker 1>ones in the way of with Cam Fleming playing as

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:32.239
<v Speaker 1>the left tackle and Connor Williams playing as the left guard,

0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:36.839
<v Speaker 1>but he and Tyron Crawford come on a twist stunt

0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.640
<v Speaker 1>and Crawford got such penetration on the play that it

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:45.599
<v Speaker 1>tied up Fleming and Williams together, and all of a sudden,

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.719
<v Speaker 1>Randy Gregory's up the field and he reads what's happening

0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:52.919
<v Speaker 1>with Crawford getting the penetration, and you talk about knife

0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:56.839
<v Speaker 1>quickly just right behind the you know, instead of going

0:04:56.920 --> 0:05:00.120
<v Speaker 1>wide in there and getting all wadded up. Yep. He

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 1>he hits it, like Mickey says, with some with some

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.840
<v Speaker 1>angle and with some bend, and he's on. He's on

0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Prescott and Prescott throws the ball. But what happens. What

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:12.840
<v Speaker 1>happens in the secondary? They got a busted coverage on

0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:16.920
<v Speaker 1>the back end, so Tavon Austin is running free. Well,

0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be a sack. Gregory pulls up and Gregory

0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:23.120
<v Speaker 1>is on Prescott as he's I mean, the ball is

0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:26.839
<v Speaker 1>still in his hand, and Randy pulls back. So you know,

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:28.440
<v Speaker 1>here they have this is what we talk about. With

0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:31.880
<v Speaker 1>good pass rush, you bust in the secondary. But all

0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:33.800
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, now you get a rusher home on

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:38.599
<v Speaker 1>a good well executed twist. But that's Randy Gregory. That's

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.960
<v Speaker 1>how that's how you can use Randy Gregory. He's got

0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:45.279
<v Speaker 1>that slinky, slippery way of doing things to get to

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.320
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback. I bet you hated guys that could couldn't

0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:50.839
<v Speaker 1>tart their body like that. That the line of scrimmage.

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, it wasn't a good deal, man, But who cares?

0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Nah what? I what? I look at Gregory and when

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I think of him, I think time is on our side.

0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:09.040
<v Speaker 1>I really feel like he's gonna give it as all

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:12.960
<v Speaker 1>in all to be on that field, and as bad

0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 1>as I want him on the field, I want to

0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Thinking about the other day, I asked him, I said, hey, man,

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:20.320
<v Speaker 1>how you feel and just from being with the team

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:22.919
<v Speaker 1>and being around man, I guess it's that anxiety. And

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.640
<v Speaker 1>he said, I'm a little bit gass. He don't look

0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:27.440
<v Speaker 1>at right. He said, I'm a little bit gass. And

0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:29.960
<v Speaker 1>I said, Okay, maybe the coaches do know what they're

0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.239
<v Speaker 1>doing with the trainers and bring them along slowly because

0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.599
<v Speaker 1>he has lost his foundation outter eighteen months. That that

0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.599
<v Speaker 1>endurance that you endurance that you have as a player,

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.240
<v Speaker 1>you know. So I was just glad that he was

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.160
<v Speaker 1>out there to talk about that a little bit though.

0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 1>The endurance that you talk about to play the game.

0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.479
<v Speaker 1>As you know, and you guys been around long enough

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:54.159
<v Speaker 1>now every day is a build up. You're trying to

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 1>build up. And you got equity in what you do,

0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.200
<v Speaker 1>and you got money in the bank. And if you

0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:02.599
<v Speaker 1>can get that base foundation where you where your body,

0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 1>it's called muscle memory. As quick as your body can

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:08.919
<v Speaker 1>get back to that, it stopped building that endurance. So okay,

0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 1>this is what I do, This is how I recover,

0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:13.000
<v Speaker 1>and your body just builds off of that year out

0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 1>the year until you get a certain agent on the dcline. Well,

0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.240
<v Speaker 1>he hasn't had no equity, no money in the bank,

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:21.840
<v Speaker 1>no nothing, so he's been running free. You know what

0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. He's just like a guy going to workout

0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.160
<v Speaker 1>every day. When we work out every day, were in

0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:29.440
<v Speaker 1>great shape and to somebody hit us until a grown

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:34.120
<v Speaker 1>it's a difference when you get when you're getting hit.

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.720
<v Speaker 1>You know all of that, what the weightlifting you've been

0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:41.000
<v Speaker 1>doing and running, His friend, that you ain't built up nothing.

0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:42.800
<v Speaker 1>All you did was got in shape to get hit.

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Now you got to get in shape to now you

0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:47.480
<v Speaker 1>gotta get hit to get to build that equity. And

0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 1>that's what he's missing. So there's two layers to it,

0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 1>right yeah, because he's getting that second layer right now.

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Before that, Jason Garrett talked about how he needed a

0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:59.400
<v Speaker 1>baseline for conditioning and football movement more so than just okay,

0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:01.800
<v Speaker 1>he's out here under a round going north south. There's

0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:04.119
<v Speaker 1>certain football movements he needed to work with the strength

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.640
<v Speaker 1>coach and get used to with that. Now he's got

0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.360
<v Speaker 1>to put the pads on and get take a little

0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:11.840
<v Speaker 1>pound and come back with that. I mean, you know,

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:15.000
<v Speaker 1>it's like it's like a guy training for a boxing man. Yes,

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.200
<v Speaker 1>you can do all the shadow boxing and running you

0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:19.240
<v Speaker 1>on and hit the heavy bag, but guess what, the

0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:22.160
<v Speaker 1>heavy bag don't hit you back, thank you. And you

0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.240
<v Speaker 1>got to get used to getting hit. And and I

0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:26.240
<v Speaker 1>and I you know, I saw a flumming a couple

0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 1>of times. Time up a little bit and it's like, okay,

0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:33.080
<v Speaker 1>now I'm pushing three hundred and thirty pounds, right, that's difficult,

0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:36.880
<v Speaker 1>but moving. That's moving. See that, That's what I said.

0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:42.160
<v Speaker 1>That's moving dead. Wait is a funny thing. Man, you know,

0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.280
<v Speaker 1>you you you you can control it. I'm talking about

0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:46.760
<v Speaker 1>to wait. You know, it's just scoring a certain way

0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:49.720
<v Speaker 1>where it won't hurt you, But that way out there

0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:51.720
<v Speaker 1>is moving all over the place, right, and they can

0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:54.839
<v Speaker 1>hurt you, you know. But as Brian said, he was

0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:57.120
<v Speaker 1>in the backfield a lot at the end of practice

0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.400
<v Speaker 1>in that team period. He talked about the stunt, the

0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:03.199
<v Speaker 1>twist he beat Rico had the play of practice to

0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:04.959
<v Speaker 1>catch in practice, right, But I don't know if that

0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:07.480
<v Speaker 1>would have been a catch in a game because because

0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.319
<v Speaker 1>Gregory was busting through that line, I can't remember if

0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:14.920
<v Speaker 1>he beat compos or flaming off that rights compos compos.

0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.559
<v Speaker 1>He you can just see the natural gifts when he's

0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.120
<v Speaker 1>out there, even in team drills. And he's added we've

0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:23.680
<v Speaker 1>talked about it too. He's added Nate that that bulk

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.640
<v Speaker 1>up top two, he's carrying two hundred and forty two pounds,

0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 1>and that's that's gonna serve him well when the season starts.

0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:32.040
<v Speaker 1>I think, yeah, I think it will to it. And

0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:35.840
<v Speaker 1>on top of that, man, he's been going eighteen months,

0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:40.120
<v Speaker 1>so he got eighteen months of natural man strength. Yeah.

0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:44.160
<v Speaker 1>You know how old is he now, twenty two, twenty five,

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.240
<v Speaker 1>So he got that fool man strimth not. I tell

0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.880
<v Speaker 1>you when you get a certain age and y'all can

0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:52.640
<v Speaker 1>the test it is. You know, you think you're strow

0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:54.640
<v Speaker 1>at twenty one, twenty two, twenty two, until you come

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:56.920
<v Speaker 1>up against the grown men at twenty five, twenty six,

0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.559
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven, you start to hit your prime as a man.

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.480
<v Speaker 1>And that's what he's starting to hit. So he's building

0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.520
<v Speaker 1>his endurance, he's in shape, he's been in his his indorance,

0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:07.800
<v Speaker 1>he's getting his foundation of hitting. And now he got

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:09.840
<v Speaker 1>a living of that man strength about it because I'm

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:15.800
<v Speaker 1>still getting stronger. You are here stilling out. Yeah. I

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.360
<v Speaker 1>like what Jerry had to say when he was that

0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:23.040
<v Speaker 1>you think he can contribute against Carolina and he said yes, yes,

0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:25.800
<v Speaker 1>yes I do. So that kind of gives you when

0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Jerry says that that that's not him just making stuff up.

0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:32.000
<v Speaker 1>That's what he's hearing from his scouts, in his assistant coach.

0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Here's your stupid former personnel man sitting on the panel.

0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:37.920
<v Speaker 1>And and I'm wanting him to make the team, you know,

0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm but no, I'm wanting him to do I'm wanting

0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:44.760
<v Speaker 1>him to go into the Carolina game with some of

0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:47.360
<v Speaker 1>those good twists, rush some of the good one on

0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:50.520
<v Speaker 1>one wins. Playing well in the preseason, you know, and

0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:52.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe we'll get that, maybe you get you know, get

0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:54.800
<v Speaker 1>him late in some of those games and all of

0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:56.760
<v Speaker 1>a sudden when you're trying to get off the field,

0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 1>when the two minute warning at the end of the

0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.520
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco game, you got a guy like Randy Gregory

0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:04.480
<v Speaker 1>who's capable of getting to the quarterback and not allowing

0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.120
<v Speaker 1>the ball to go tick tick tick tick down the field.

0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.679
<v Speaker 1>You know, maybe he's a guy in the uh in

0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:14.199
<v Speaker 1>the Arizona game when they go back to pass, you know,

0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.880
<v Speaker 1>with games online, he goes and makes that play. I

0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:21.839
<v Speaker 1>wanted him to make this team by him being by

0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:25.280
<v Speaker 1>coming back and doing all the things necessary. But they're

0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:27.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna put him on this team, and you know that's

0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.040
<v Speaker 1>that's good. I mean, that's good for them. How do

0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.120
<v Speaker 1>you think they're gonna, like you said, they've been kind

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.920
<v Speaker 1>of slow playing it be they've given him a bassline,

0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:38.240
<v Speaker 1>he's now he's into pads. How much preseason work do

0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.480
<v Speaker 1>you guys think he gets or he needs to get

0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:43.720
<v Speaker 1>ready for games? Oh? I would think he's gonna at

0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.839
<v Speaker 1>least play two preseason games and who knows. Now, you

0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:50.599
<v Speaker 1>guys tell me, because I didn't think he dressed for

0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:54.000
<v Speaker 1>the game. He did, he did, he went on the trip.

0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:57.319
<v Speaker 1>Did it was in a dressed which which means that

0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:00.959
<v Speaker 1>the uh play by play here didn't list ninety four

0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.320
<v Speaker 1>as one of the guys that you know, I remember

0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:05.760
<v Speaker 1>looking down. I remember looking down at the national anthem.

0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:07.880
<v Speaker 1>That's why I saw him first. Yeah, you know all

0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:11.520
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys were lined up. Okay, so that's a start. Yeah. Yeah,

0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Now it's now, maybe you get him in for a

0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 1>play or two. You're not nothing extensive. You don't want

0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 1>to get him hurt at this point. But I think

0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:22.679
<v Speaker 1>those last two preseason games. Let's see what happens this week. Yeah,

0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:26.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe let's see this week if he's getting more, if

0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.680
<v Speaker 1>he's getting if they're running eight plays in a team

0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.880
<v Speaker 1>period and he's playing in three of them, you know,

0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:36.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's just like these other it's just like

0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Charles Tapper and everyone else. You know. Maybe they're trying

0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 1>to get him ready to play. And if they can

0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:44.960
<v Speaker 1>get good Cincinnati, they can get him the team to Carolina,

0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.200
<v Speaker 1>the Carolina game, they can get him the third down

0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 1>he's in. Yeah, Nate, don't worry about the run. Remember

0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.760
<v Speaker 1>you last night you're talking about Charles Haley. You have

0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:57.240
<v Speaker 1>to have one or two guys on your team, and

0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:00.440
<v Speaker 1>y'all had him, a Green Bay had him. Well, this guy,

0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:03.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, yeah, okay, he ain't a great run stop,

0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:07.439
<v Speaker 1>but let him come a past the situation. And every

0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:10.040
<v Speaker 1>team has had a guy. Oh you know, I don't

0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:15.760
<v Speaker 1>understand stop the run, coach. We know the quick is

0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.880
<v Speaker 1>about the fields. To wreck the quarterback, that's the quickst

0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 1>way off the field. And if you got a guy

0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:23.559
<v Speaker 1>that can possibly wreck that quarterback and have him have

0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:25.959
<v Speaker 1>his feet tap in and getting rid of the balls.

0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:29.640
<v Speaker 1>Who so I thought they affected Garoppolo the other day

0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:34.559
<v Speaker 1>with the way they were side, even on the stuff

0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:35.960
<v Speaker 1>on the boots and the way I mean, if they

0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:41.000
<v Speaker 1>continue to have that and then develop somebody else besides Lawrence,

0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Doran's Armstrong, to me, is got a chance. Now. The

0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:48.840
<v Speaker 1>thing about Doran's Armstrong is it's been a little bit

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:53.719
<v Speaker 1>of a too deep get caught now, you're right, you know,

0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:57.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's they're trying, they're really really trying to

0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:01.160
<v Speaker 1>develop him as a pass rusher. But you know, Doran's

0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong Randy Gregory, somebody help DeMarcus Lawrence on that other side.

0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:09.040
<v Speaker 1>If they could get somebody Legitimi, if you can kick

0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Crawford inside and let him go to work and say

0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Woods or whoever else you want to put at that

0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:20.280
<v Speaker 1>tackle spot Cony, Ealy, whoever. Yeah, I mean, whoever you

0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:23.240
<v Speaker 1>want to try in there inside and they can and

0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:26.200
<v Speaker 1>you could get some penetration like they had the other day.

0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:29.080
<v Speaker 1>For that sets up stuff coming off the edge, because

0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:32.200
<v Speaker 1>now you've got guys occupied. You got centners and guards

0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:36.240
<v Speaker 1>occupied with inside players, and then you got tackles one

0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:39.920
<v Speaker 1>on one other. Yeah, single matchups. Yeah, if you got

0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:44.200
<v Speaker 1>one horse. If you got one horse, you got something

0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:48.080
<v Speaker 1>special on your defense. If you got two horses, Yeah,

0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:50.920
<v Speaker 1>it's no way you can have a double. Yeah, is

0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:52.200
<v Speaker 1>no way you can have a double. I look at

0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:55.880
<v Speaker 1>the rams. When you got Sue, Yeah, and you got Donald,

0:14:57.600 --> 0:14:59.560
<v Speaker 1>you can turn, you can do whatever you want. It

0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:03.200
<v Speaker 1>ain't gonna work. If Sue feels good and we know

0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Donald rockers you you you don't win it. All we

0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:10.880
<v Speaker 1>need is somebody on the other side. All right, the tackle. See,

0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:13.320
<v Speaker 1>when you got two horses, non't matter whether they playing

0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:15.880
<v Speaker 1>tackle or whether they deem as a means. But if

0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:18.600
<v Speaker 1>you got two horses, it ain't no turning. See, this

0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:23.600
<v Speaker 1>is where David Irving was just second horse, right all

0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:25.800
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden. If you, okay, say you do get

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:30.080
<v Speaker 1>a Randy Gregory developed and now you've got okay, Crawford's

0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:33.640
<v Speaker 1>playing the one, Irving's inside on the three. You got

0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Laurence on the left side, and Gregor, I mean, now

0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.840
<v Speaker 1>you're tacking him with four guys. You got power guy,

0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.160
<v Speaker 1>you got a tall guy, you got a fast guy,

0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:42.600
<v Speaker 1>and you got a guy that's got a lot in

0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 1>the tool belt rushing on off that other side. So okay,

0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.880
<v Speaker 1>how do you block that? How do you account how

0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:53.200
<v Speaker 1>do you account for all that discarded? Malik? Well, I'm

0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:57.680
<v Speaker 1>just saying, okay, Maliki, good I'm doing. But I'm just saying, though,

0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:00.480
<v Speaker 1>if for what we're seeing right right right know, but

0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.600
<v Speaker 1>this is where David Irving and what we know about

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.800
<v Speaker 1>David Irving is a pass rusher. This is where it's

0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.360
<v Speaker 1>a problem. Now, this is you know, and then and

0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:13.000
<v Speaker 1>this team might not be its absolute best rushing the

0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.320
<v Speaker 1>passer until week five. Yeah, and that and that's and

0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.600
<v Speaker 1>that's that's a that's a shame because you know, once

0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:22.600
<v Speaker 1>he gets we all know what David Irving could do. Yea,

0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.560
<v Speaker 1>how you talk about slinky and you know, not be

0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:29.520
<v Speaker 1>blocked and get inside and attack gaps and knock passes down.

0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Capture the quarterback. We saw him do that against Green Base. Captured,

0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:38.240
<v Speaker 1>doesn't throw a deep cross and with twelve seconds to

0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.680
<v Speaker 1>go to set up a game winning field goal. See

0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:47.440
<v Speaker 1>that's you know what you know, David Irvin? Yeah, I

0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:51.760
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I don't know what it's physical. I don't know.

0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:54.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if he's gonna be physically ready at

0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:58.560
<v Speaker 1>game five. No, this this is the scouts. This is

0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:01.800
<v Speaker 1>the scouts. In my office, putting my hand, I'm looking

0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:04.880
<v Speaker 1>at my personnelboard and I know his tag is over

0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:07.359
<v Speaker 1>here on the bottom quarner. And I'm thinking, okay, what

0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:09.320
<v Speaker 1>did I just Okay, who am I going to rush

0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:12.080
<v Speaker 1>this week? Oh? Gosh, I need you know, I need that.

0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:14.680
<v Speaker 1>You're playing the Lions. You're playing the Lions, You're playing

0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Russell Wilson, You're playing teams that have these quarterbacks that

0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:21.480
<v Speaker 1>you know that that could throw from the pocket, move around.

0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:24.959
<v Speaker 1>Nate brings up two many points one MALIEK. Collins if

0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:28.640
<v Speaker 1>he's healthy when he gets back, that helps inside number two.

0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:31.359
<v Speaker 1>We saw David Irving come in after four games that

0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:33.959
<v Speaker 1>spension last year and make plays. He had seven sacks

0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:36.760
<v Speaker 1>and seven eight games whatever it was. But he had

0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:38.920
<v Speaker 1>a training camp in a preseason last year. He doesn't

0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:42.119
<v Speaker 1>have that this season. So what you don't really know

0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:44.200
<v Speaker 1>it is a wildcard. R what kind of shape he's in?

0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:46.520
<v Speaker 1>What you know? How ready is he to contribute just

0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:49.359
<v Speaker 1>after four games? Just start making your plans without him,

0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:52.280
<v Speaker 1>and then if you get him, it's gravy. Yeah, because

0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:54.240
<v Speaker 1>I just don't think you can count on him right now.

0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:56.960
<v Speaker 1>See this is this is where I mean, we haven't

0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I should I shouldn't speak for you, gentlemen. I have

0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:04.520
<v Speaker 1>not heard one thing about David Urban and the scamp,

0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:09.040
<v Speaker 1>not one thing. Well, he's he's in California working out. Yeah,

0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:11.040
<v Speaker 1>that was all Jerry would go, and he said, I

0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:14.240
<v Speaker 1>can't talk about it, so he refused to answer the

0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:16.520
<v Speaker 1>question yesterday. You know, if you look at if we

0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:19.399
<v Speaker 1>look at our devons of line, we we you know,

0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:24.320
<v Speaker 1>open up our cars and look at our Devensive line. Guys,

0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:27.840
<v Speaker 1>you can depend on the Markus Lawrence. Guys. You can

0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:31.880
<v Speaker 1>depend on Tyrone Crawford. Guys, you can depend on talk

0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:34.480
<v Speaker 1>with child for what he can give you. Guys. You

0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:38.600
<v Speaker 1>can depend on guys. You can depend on guys, you

0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:40.920
<v Speaker 1>can depend on. You ain't got no more names. You've

0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:46.320
<v Speaker 1>got some. You got some young fellows inside shrugs, and yeah,

0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:50.479
<v Speaker 1>so Daytone Jones is actually stepping Dayton Jones has been

0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:53.520
<v Speaker 1>better than Ward. Yes, yes he's and and you know

0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:57.040
<v Speaker 1>and now that you have you know with his situation

0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:00.720
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I there's got I I felt all

0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:04.600
<v Speaker 1>along there was gonna be guys on this team, especially

0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:07.680
<v Speaker 1>this defensive line, that was gonna that we're gonna cut themselves.

0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:11.120
<v Speaker 1>We cut themself. They were gonna play and we still

0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:13.840
<v Speaker 1>got games to go. But when they when it gets

0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:17.320
<v Speaker 1>to the end, whoever their best nine guys are ten

0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:20.159
<v Speaker 1>guys that'll be their best guys the other guys, like

0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Nate says, he named off four guys and then he went,

0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:26.320
<v Speaker 1>depend on depend on it. But you can't know, you can't.

0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:29.000
<v Speaker 1>But we'll we'll know. We'll we'll know if we can

0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:32.680
<v Speaker 1>depend on Dorance Armstrong by the end of this, you know,

0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:35.439
<v Speaker 1>we'll know if we could depend on Randy Gregory by

0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:37.720
<v Speaker 1>the end of this I believe, which is which is

0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:44.119
<v Speaker 1>why these these preseason games are not just a nebulous exercise.

0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:47.560
<v Speaker 1>They're important that I think they're important to this team's growth.

0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:50.720
<v Speaker 1>It's not like, Okay, let's throw them out there eight

0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:53.159
<v Speaker 1>plays and everybody's out and let's put the scrubs in.

0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:58.040
<v Speaker 1>This is the important discount more than an account we've

0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:02.040
<v Speaker 1>seen in the last five years, and y'all may have

0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:04.840
<v Speaker 1>seen something different than me, but this is our first

0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:10.320
<v Speaker 1>truly competitive camp in five years. I'm talking about offensive

0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:13.920
<v Speaker 1>line and defensive line. I'm talking about the power and

0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:18.800
<v Speaker 1>swiftness and athletic ability of our offensive line versus fast,

0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:24.159
<v Speaker 1>athletic defensive line. Price. You know, we hear his name. Woods,

0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:27.679
<v Speaker 1>We hear his name. We didn't hear that last year, right,

0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:30.440
<v Speaker 1>you know we hear guys, you know, and as good

0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:32.480
<v Speaker 1>as David ever it is to all of us and

0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:36.000
<v Speaker 1>how we feel about him. You know, maybe one or

0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:39.480
<v Speaker 1>two of these guys can as a unit replace David

0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Irvy as a unit. I'm talking about maybe Price, maybe

0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:46.879
<v Speaker 1>Woods as a unit, because what he does, he's a

0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:49.240
<v Speaker 1>game changing David ivers a game change. So when you

0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:52.639
<v Speaker 1>lack that don't know how many teams have a game change.

0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:55.400
<v Speaker 1>It ain't many teams have game changes, like David Irvy.

0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:57.879
<v Speaker 1>So now we gotta look who can give us this

0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:00.800
<v Speaker 1>in a cluster? Do you feel any better about this

0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:07.200
<v Speaker 1>defensive line? Um? Then, compared to last years ago, three

0:21:07.240 --> 0:21:09.240
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago when you got on that airplane he came

0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:11.560
<v Speaker 1>and landed here. Did you feel better about that group

0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:13.760
<v Speaker 1>now than you did when you we got on that

0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:16.480
<v Speaker 1>airplane a little bit? In both spots, because, like you said,

0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Dayton Jones, I thought he played well the other night. Um.

0:21:19.560 --> 0:21:22.720
<v Speaker 1>And then it's specifically a defensive end. It's always nice

0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:24.560
<v Speaker 1>to have ninety four out there and looking like he's

0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:28.200
<v Speaker 1>making progress. But I'm with Nate, Dorence Armstrong looks like

0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:30.280
<v Speaker 1>he could be a player, and I'm not saying he's

0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:32.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a ten sack guy as a rookie. But

0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:34.600
<v Speaker 1>we had a mail back question this morning. This is

0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:36.119
<v Speaker 1>a good question. Why don't we get to that when

0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:38.320
<v Speaker 1>we come back from our break. Let's continue talking about

0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:41.399
<v Speaker 1>the defensive line for the Cowboys. Who's showing up and

0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:44.320
<v Speaker 1>some guys that may be surprising you, either good or

0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:46.320
<v Speaker 1>bad so far in camp. By the way, the phone

0:24:12.040 --> 0:24:15.959
<v Speaker 1>my hotel room. Different Brad. We could just bring him

0:24:16.000 --> 0:24:18.320
<v Speaker 1>on over, get a fifth mic, and hey, mister sham,

0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:20.880
<v Speaker 1>what's going on? We could do that. Yeah, he would

<v Speaker 1>definitely be held. He'd be good anytime, anytime. All right,

0:24:24.240 --> 0:24:25.919
<v Speaker 1>we had a mail bad question on the side. By

0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:29.679
<v Speaker 1>the way, check out Brian's notes scouting notebook from Sunday's practice.

0:24:29.720 --> 0:24:32.159
<v Speaker 1>A lot of good nuggets in there. Who stood out

0:24:32.200 --> 0:24:34.960
<v Speaker 1>at practice? Maybe what didn't go so well at practice?

0:24:35.560 --> 0:24:38.120
<v Speaker 1>It's on Dallas Cowboys mobile right now. Today's mail bad question?

0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:40.760
<v Speaker 1>What'd ye? What'd you think about that? How does Dorian's

0:24:40.880 --> 0:24:44.480
<v Speaker 1>armstrong look in camp this year compared to Taco Charlton's

0:24:44.520 --> 0:24:47.520
<v Speaker 1>camp as a rookie last year. That's funny you brought

0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:49.320
<v Speaker 1>that up because I was getting ready to ask the

0:24:49.400 --> 0:24:55.200
<v Speaker 1>same thing. Who great mine? Panel? Here? What do you think, Mick,

0:24:56.280 --> 0:24:58.640
<v Speaker 1>He keeps his feet a lot better than Taco kept

0:24:58.720 --> 0:25:01.760
<v Speaker 1>his feet last year. That's what I said. He's natural.

0:25:02.840 --> 0:25:05.800
<v Speaker 1>That's that's the that's this is a good this is

0:25:05.800 --> 0:25:09.720
<v Speaker 1>a good scouting report. This is a good scouting reports. Natural. See.

0:25:09.800 --> 0:25:12.560
<v Speaker 1>I think that I think that Dorance Armstrong has a

0:25:12.680 --> 0:25:16.040
<v Speaker 1>better feel for how to rush the passer than Taco did.

0:25:16.080 --> 0:25:20.600
<v Speaker 1>I think nothing against Taco, but to me, even though

0:25:20.640 --> 0:25:23.760
<v Speaker 1>he went to school at Michigan and played some big

0:25:23.840 --> 0:25:26.200
<v Speaker 1>time football, I don't think he was a natural pass

0:25:26.280 --> 0:25:28.800
<v Speaker 1>rusher coming out. I think there was some struggle there.

0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I think he was he was struggling with his his strength.

0:25:32.359 --> 0:25:34.720
<v Speaker 1>I think he was struggling with his moves. I think

0:25:34.760 --> 0:25:37.680
<v Speaker 1>he was struggling with his plan of attack. You know,

0:25:38.160 --> 0:25:41.399
<v Speaker 1>he's got a better plan of attack now. Armstrong, on

0:25:41.480 --> 0:25:44.520
<v Speaker 1>their hand, is not gonna give you the same move.

0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:47.640
<v Speaker 1>He's not gonna he's He's a little bit more bendy,

0:25:48.119 --> 0:25:50.960
<v Speaker 1>he's a little bit more flexible, and I think he's

0:25:51.000 --> 0:25:53.800
<v Speaker 1>got a little bit better reach, even though Taco's got

0:25:54.280 --> 0:25:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I think he's got a little bit better reach to

0:25:56.080 --> 0:26:01.000
<v Speaker 1>effect ways in the pocket. He's he is better at

0:26:01.080 --> 0:26:03.879
<v Speaker 1>this point, Armstrong is better than Tacco was at this

0:26:04.000 --> 0:26:05.359
<v Speaker 1>time last year. What do you what do you mean

0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:08.280
<v Speaker 1>by he's a natural name because he can line up

0:26:08.320 --> 0:26:10.399
<v Speaker 1>and he looking at that defensive he looking at that

0:26:10.920 --> 0:26:14.520
<v Speaker 1>offensive tackle and he may have one thing in mind.

0:26:14.600 --> 0:26:16.680
<v Speaker 1>But if you kind of can mess with him, he

0:26:16.800 --> 0:26:20.040
<v Speaker 1>can adjest. Yeah, he can aggest. But now his first

0:26:20.119 --> 0:26:22.760
<v Speaker 1>thoughts is when he lined up, you can see in

0:26:22.840 --> 0:26:25.480
<v Speaker 1>his eyes like I'm beating you. Whereas you line up

0:26:25.520 --> 0:26:27.520
<v Speaker 1>in tacle. He got up and he listening to the

0:26:27.600 --> 0:26:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Lion laden Marion Nelly. He listening to a number ninety,

0:26:32.640 --> 0:26:35.280
<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden he lines up and be like, Okay,

0:26:35.560 --> 0:26:38.199
<v Speaker 1>out of the eight moves, I just heard, which one

0:26:38.240 --> 0:26:41.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna do? Well, it might be I know. You're right.

0:26:41.920 --> 0:26:44.000
<v Speaker 1>It's like a pro golfer. That's how you know. It's

0:26:44.040 --> 0:26:46.959
<v Speaker 1>like a golf swing swing mechanics, SSS, swing mccannic. If

0:26:47.000 --> 0:26:49.359
<v Speaker 1>you're swinging it, well, nobody says a word to you.

0:26:49.920 --> 0:26:52.800
<v Speaker 1>You just hit the ball. If you're like pulling him

0:26:52.840 --> 0:26:55.239
<v Speaker 1>into the woods every day, it's like you got five guy,

0:26:55.280 --> 0:26:57.200
<v Speaker 1>will listen. You need to kind of turn your hand

0:26:57.600 --> 0:26:59.280
<v Speaker 1>and you need to take your right foot and put

0:26:59.359 --> 0:27:02.240
<v Speaker 1>it back. And then the other guy comes along. No, no, no,

0:27:02.520 --> 0:27:05.520
<v Speaker 1>turn your hand over, open your stance. This you know,

0:27:05.600 --> 0:27:09.320
<v Speaker 1>and now you now, now you're now you're really Yes,

0:27:09.800 --> 0:27:14.080
<v Speaker 1>nobody anybody ever give Charles Haley advice. Nah, tell Haley

0:27:14.240 --> 0:27:17.680
<v Speaker 1>crush you, yeah, cush. But that's I think that's what

0:27:17.880 --> 0:27:20.360
<v Speaker 1>I think. That's the problem. Even though the Taco there

0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:23.919
<v Speaker 1>has been improvement, he does have a lot of people

0:27:24.200 --> 0:27:27.320
<v Speaker 1>telling him what he needs to do. And you could

0:27:27.359 --> 0:27:30.560
<v Speaker 1>tell what it happens to him. He gets crossed up. Yeah,

0:27:30.640 --> 0:27:33.440
<v Speaker 1>and I mean get crossed up that you. Oh no,

0:27:33.560 --> 0:27:35.520
<v Speaker 1>here comes the rush right down the middle. You know.

0:27:35.640 --> 0:27:38.159
<v Speaker 1>It's like he's like he gets caught into thinking do

0:27:38.320 --> 0:27:42.200
<v Speaker 1>I go rip swim combination? Do I extend left arm? Yeah.

0:27:43.280 --> 0:27:46.320
<v Speaker 1>It's so funny because he will go right and they say,

0:27:46.359 --> 0:27:48.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, they kind of halfways stopped that heat going

0:27:48.359 --> 0:27:50.159
<v Speaker 1>into a late span and all of a sudden on

0:27:50.320 --> 0:27:53.119
<v Speaker 1>the ground. Yeah, you'd be like, and where's the dance?

0:27:53.200 --> 0:27:55.720
<v Speaker 1>He just get there and he bends that corner and

0:27:55.800 --> 0:27:57.480
<v Speaker 1>if you get him, he'll try to grab you. Oh,

0:27:57.680 --> 0:28:00.119
<v Speaker 1>he'll try to push it up. I mean it's a

0:28:00.240 --> 0:28:03.199
<v Speaker 1>counter to a counter. And that's what Tap hasn't learned yet.

0:28:03.320 --> 0:28:06.760
<v Speaker 1>When he learns that, which the scouting part I read

0:28:06.840 --> 0:28:09.480
<v Speaker 1>on him was he wasn't to start his first few

0:28:09.560 --> 0:28:12.480
<v Speaker 1>years right, but as time went on he grew into

0:28:12.520 --> 0:28:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the position, Yes, what is you may not never make

0:28:16.040 --> 0:28:17.480
<v Speaker 1>it out here if you know, if you don't hurry

0:28:17.520 --> 0:28:20.480
<v Speaker 1>up fast. He has looked better in this camp. I

0:28:20.560 --> 0:28:23.640
<v Speaker 1>do and like you said, more and he number one,

0:28:23.720 --> 0:28:26.720
<v Speaker 1>he needs to stop. If it ain't Tyron Smith, if

0:28:26.760 --> 0:28:29.480
<v Speaker 1>it ain't number seventy one, he needs he need to

0:28:29.480 --> 0:28:31.960
<v Speaker 1>tell a coach, I ain't rushing against Chad. When I

0:28:32.000 --> 0:28:35.760
<v Speaker 1>ain't rushing against number sixty three, there's no growth in that.

0:28:36.240 --> 0:28:38.480
<v Speaker 1>There's no growth in that. I would not well. And

0:28:38.760 --> 0:28:42.280
<v Speaker 1>the thing about it, though, is he gets going and he,

0:28:42.600 --> 0:28:45.680
<v Speaker 1>like it said, he gets crossed up. He's thinking, Okay,

0:28:45.760 --> 0:28:48.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna throw this move along the way. I'm gonna

0:28:48.320 --> 0:28:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna set him up with a quick you know,

0:28:50.520 --> 0:28:53.160
<v Speaker 1>And I say a quick move, A quick move. He

0:28:53.200 --> 0:28:55.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't have a quick move. He's trying to develop a

0:28:55.760 --> 0:28:57.680
<v Speaker 1>quick move if he can win on the first step

0:28:58.120 --> 0:29:00.280
<v Speaker 1>and then get you know, see this, this is what

0:29:00.440 --> 0:29:02.840
<v Speaker 1>this is where I thought. Last against the forty nine ers,

0:29:02.920 --> 0:29:05.320
<v Speaker 1>I wrote about this on the on my notebook today

0:29:05.800 --> 0:29:08.680
<v Speaker 1>in practice. Yesterday dat got him on a third down

0:29:08.760 --> 0:29:10.720
<v Speaker 1>play on the on the read, on the read option

0:29:10.800 --> 0:29:14.080
<v Speaker 1>stuff sucked him down. And but last week in the game,

0:29:14.360 --> 0:29:17.200
<v Speaker 1>what do he do? He played his assignment, He stayed wide,

0:29:17.360 --> 0:29:21.280
<v Speaker 1>he chased Garoppolo's throwing it out a bounce, Bethard's throwing

0:29:21.360 --> 0:29:23.480
<v Speaker 1>it out a bounce. But he's you know, he didn't

0:29:23.480 --> 0:29:28.000
<v Speaker 1>get sucked downtil. You're thinking, ah, assignment, taco good, you know,

0:29:28.240 --> 0:29:31.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, playing my assignment. Yeah, but here and then

0:29:31.080 --> 0:29:33.160
<v Speaker 1>you see it You're like, oh no yet. But that's

0:29:33.240 --> 0:29:36.040
<v Speaker 1>just that's gonna happen with him and he and he

0:29:36.160 --> 0:29:39.320
<v Speaker 1>needs to develop more consistent. If I think if he won,

0:29:40.000 --> 0:29:41.760
<v Speaker 1>I think if he had a day where he won

0:29:42.400 --> 0:29:45.960
<v Speaker 1>two or three times, say in a row, then maybe

0:29:46.040 --> 0:29:48.680
<v Speaker 1>things would flip that switch for him that he would say, Okay,

0:29:48.760 --> 0:29:50.320
<v Speaker 1>this is how I have to do it. You you

0:29:50.480 --> 0:29:54.000
<v Speaker 1>blocked guys for years, years and years. How many moves

0:29:54.080 --> 0:29:57.840
<v Speaker 1>does an edge rusher need in his toolbox? Two? Two,

0:29:58.440 --> 0:30:03.000
<v Speaker 1>two great moves and one counter? And that counter can

0:30:03.080 --> 0:30:04.760
<v Speaker 1>be whatever it need to be. Off of those two

0:30:04.840 --> 0:30:10.440
<v Speaker 1>great moves, because uh what what what? What? What beaches

0:30:10.520 --> 0:30:13.640
<v Speaker 1>that freak ability that he called it end ability to flexibility,

0:30:13.880 --> 0:30:16.920
<v Speaker 1>that that you can have a guy blocked, but if

0:30:16.920 --> 0:30:19.480
<v Speaker 1>they got that ability to twist and turn in and

0:30:19.520 --> 0:30:22.480
<v Speaker 1>get that arm out there, yeah, man, And they get that,

0:30:22.960 --> 0:30:29.400
<v Speaker 1>and they always Richard Dent, Lawrence Taylor, Charles Hayley, no

0:30:29.520 --> 0:30:32.840
<v Speaker 1>matter how you blocked them, they always was rushing. And

0:30:32.960 --> 0:30:36.280
<v Speaker 1>if you check yourself, they always be this far away

0:30:36.320 --> 0:30:39.520
<v Speaker 1>from the quarterbackst in hand. They always be this far away.

0:30:39.800 --> 0:30:42.640
<v Speaker 1>And so they continue to work you the whole game

0:30:43.120 --> 0:30:45.360
<v Speaker 1>until that fourth quarter calm and all of a sudden

0:30:45.400 --> 0:30:48.960
<v Speaker 1>you see you in the yaw you looking around it.

0:30:52.520 --> 0:30:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, he finally got it. You know, you

0:30:54.760 --> 0:30:56.760
<v Speaker 1>thought you had him, but he had been working you.

0:30:57.040 --> 0:30:59.840
<v Speaker 1>And see it's a game plan. That's what number ninety has.

0:31:00.480 --> 0:31:03.200
<v Speaker 1>He has a game Yeah. Yeah, it's clear he did. Yeah,

0:31:03.320 --> 0:31:06.400
<v Speaker 1>you can see it doesn't he's not affected by whoever

0:31:06.520 --> 0:31:09.400
<v Speaker 1>he rushes again, Right, he's just as good at seventy

0:31:09.520 --> 0:31:13.200
<v Speaker 1>as he is against seventy seven. I mean it's like

0:31:13.480 --> 0:31:15.920
<v Speaker 1>it's like a pitcher, right, you don't need eight pitches.

0:31:16.560 --> 0:31:20.959
<v Speaker 1>You throw a fastball, curveball, change up, maybe a good slider.

0:31:22.320 --> 0:31:24.760
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna do that, right, You're gonna succeed. I don't

0:31:24.800 --> 0:31:28.200
<v Speaker 1>need a knuckleball. I don't need the slurve or any

0:31:28.240 --> 0:31:32.320
<v Speaker 1>of that sinker. If my fastball is good, then I'm good, right,

0:31:32.480 --> 0:31:35.160
<v Speaker 1>and then everything else works off of that. So if

0:31:35.200 --> 0:31:37.560
<v Speaker 1>you got the ability to come off that edge like that,

0:31:38.720 --> 0:31:40.880
<v Speaker 1>then they got to be conscious of that, and then

0:31:41.080 --> 0:31:45.400
<v Speaker 1>you come up with your other moves. Offensive lineman hate

0:31:45.840 --> 0:31:50.040
<v Speaker 1>not having hitting surface, yes, they because it's all about

0:31:50.080 --> 0:31:53.680
<v Speaker 1>their hands. If you make an offensive lineman feel uncomfortable

0:31:53.720 --> 0:31:58.600
<v Speaker 1>with his hands, yes, then yeah, with Connor Williams, if

0:31:58.640 --> 0:32:01.440
<v Speaker 1>you make him feel uncome comfortable. And that's where he

0:32:01.520 --> 0:32:05.040
<v Speaker 1>was talking about the guys like Taylor Dent. You know

0:32:05.120 --> 0:32:09.080
<v Speaker 1>those guys DeMarcus where you don't give them a place

0:32:09.160 --> 0:32:12.520
<v Speaker 1>to put their hands. That's tough because they're always like, oh,

0:32:12.840 --> 0:32:15.040
<v Speaker 1>they're still rushing. You know, I can't. You know, you

0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:18.360
<v Speaker 1>never slow the rush down. That's where that verbbin comes

0:32:18.400 --> 0:32:20.520
<v Speaker 1>in the bend. Yeah, you know, and if you, like

0:32:20.600 --> 0:32:23.480
<v Speaker 1>I said, the good ones can get really small and

0:32:23.600 --> 0:32:25.880
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden you're missing with that hand off

0:32:25.920 --> 0:32:28.320
<v Speaker 1>a shoulder pad. Now he's on you. Oh wait, I've

0:32:28.320 --> 0:32:29.920
<v Speaker 1>got to get my left hand now. Oh wait, now

0:32:30.000 --> 0:32:33.080
<v Speaker 1>he's buying me with that hand. You make offensive lineman

0:32:33.200 --> 0:32:36.320
<v Speaker 1>uncomfortable with their hand placement, you can affect the way

0:32:36.360 --> 0:32:37.920
<v Speaker 1>they block, and the good ones can do that. You

0:32:37.960 --> 0:32:39.680
<v Speaker 1>know what. I don't know if this was by design

0:32:39.840 --> 0:32:42.160
<v Speaker 1>or they were just running plays on offense, but when

0:32:42.240 --> 0:32:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Gregory was out there, after a couple of plays, the

0:32:44.840 --> 0:32:47.520
<v Speaker 1>tight ends started lining up on his side, right they did.

0:32:47.680 --> 0:32:54.760
<v Speaker 1>They started chipping him. Yes, that Yeah, great observation because

0:32:54.800 --> 0:32:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Garrett told us that, hey, we're gonna go bone on

0:32:57.320 --> 0:32:59.840
<v Speaker 1>bone and just run football plays out there. And that's

0:32:59.840 --> 0:33:02.760
<v Speaker 1>what I think. For three periods it was just straight team.

0:33:03.440 --> 0:33:05.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, you throw your defense out there, will throw

0:33:05.320 --> 0:33:07.840
<v Speaker 1>offense out there. We'll compete a little bit. He does

0:33:07.920 --> 0:33:11.040
<v Speaker 1>in Randy has that gift that bend to be able to, yeah,

0:33:11.160 --> 0:33:13.400
<v Speaker 1>become a small target. I did not see him in

0:33:13.480 --> 0:33:16.240
<v Speaker 1>one on one's yesterday name looking forward, and I thought

0:33:16.240 --> 0:33:19.520
<v Speaker 1>he did one or two. I thought he took one turn.

0:33:19.600 --> 0:33:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Did he not do one? I don't know. I don't remember.

0:33:21.800 --> 0:33:24.280
<v Speaker 1>He took him out. Yeah, he patted up with his

0:33:24.440 --> 0:33:27.000
<v Speaker 1>helmet like he was gonna get one, And I thought

0:33:27.040 --> 0:33:33.320
<v Speaker 1>I saw the okay, Michael Gallut and I'm just using

0:33:33.360 --> 0:33:39.520
<v Speaker 1>this out third round, Pete. He is positioning himself where

0:33:39.600 --> 0:33:41.920
<v Speaker 1>is no where in the world you cannot give him

0:33:41.960 --> 0:33:45.480
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of opportunities when the reel, when the season stars, No,

0:33:45.560 --> 0:33:48.000
<v Speaker 1>when the where you cannot give him opportunities. He's positioning

0:33:48.120 --> 0:33:53.680
<v Speaker 1>himself like that. Right now, this kid Armstrong is positioning

0:33:53.800 --> 0:33:58.000
<v Speaker 1>him himself where you cannot pass him up against him

0:33:58.360 --> 0:34:00.480
<v Speaker 1>if he keep going the whey he's going like Michael

0:34:00.520 --> 0:34:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Gallup is going away. So he's defensive version. Yea. See,

0:34:06.040 --> 0:34:08.800
<v Speaker 1>that's why, that's why earning reps. That's why I'm so

0:34:09.040 --> 0:34:12.960
<v Speaker 1>excited because you said it when we got off the plane,

0:34:13.080 --> 0:34:14.759
<v Speaker 1>when y'all got off the plane and I drove up

0:34:16.239 --> 0:34:20.080
<v Speaker 1>when you got out the car. Yeah, we was like, wow,

0:34:20.120 --> 0:34:22.879
<v Speaker 1>I defens line gonna get killed. And from the very

0:34:23.040 --> 0:34:27.279
<v Speaker 1>first day everything changed. From the very first day when

0:34:27.320 --> 0:34:29.160
<v Speaker 1>they first got together and did their version of what

0:34:29.239 --> 0:34:31.400
<v Speaker 1>they call an inside run, and I said, man, who

0:34:31.480 --> 0:34:34.120
<v Speaker 1>is number sixty four, Wow, number ninety two is doing

0:34:34.120 --> 0:34:38.560
<v Speaker 1>a good job. And it hasn't changed. So when I

0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:41.880
<v Speaker 1>look at this kid, I'm sure I'm saying now, and Broden,

0:34:42.000 --> 0:34:43.600
<v Speaker 1>you gave him a good grade. And I listened to

0:34:43.680 --> 0:34:45.800
<v Speaker 1>you that day like broden slightness, dudy, like his d

0:34:45.840 --> 0:34:47.800
<v Speaker 1>place man. I said, I'm gonna watch this kid. That

0:34:47.920 --> 0:34:52.399
<v Speaker 1>was my guy coming into camp. This guy is not disappointed. Yeah,

0:34:52.840 --> 0:34:55.799
<v Speaker 1>he's not disappointed. Now let's see how the games play out.

0:34:56.000 --> 0:34:57.640
<v Speaker 1>And I know he may not play a much in

0:34:57.719 --> 0:35:01.320
<v Speaker 1>the third game, but you cannot I have him. I

0:35:01.400 --> 0:35:05.560
<v Speaker 1>will be high to disappointment. He's inactive? What riv? Yeah? No,

0:35:05.800 --> 0:35:08.080
<v Speaker 1>And because no one else has really stepped up and

0:35:08.200 --> 0:35:11.960
<v Speaker 1>yeah and said, you know echo that is they started

0:35:12.040 --> 0:35:15.040
<v Speaker 1>moving Ealy inside because he really hasn't shown the speed

0:35:15.120 --> 0:35:18.480
<v Speaker 1>on the outside to play the defensive end spot. So,

0:35:19.000 --> 0:35:21.919
<v Speaker 1>not to change the subject, but somebody else, I thought

0:35:22.320 --> 0:35:25.560
<v Speaker 1>is starting to step up in a very needy position.

0:35:25.719 --> 0:35:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Is Kadeem Edwards. Have you guys took some reps with

0:35:29.360 --> 0:35:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Martin out last couple of days some additional reps?

0:35:32.560 --> 0:35:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Didn't did he not? Is it three straight reps in

0:35:35.040 --> 0:35:39.080
<v Speaker 1>the compete? Sill yesterday? Who's it against? It was? It was?

0:35:40.360 --> 0:35:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Was it? Any won all three? It was the first compete.

0:35:49.480 --> 0:35:53.320
<v Speaker 1>I remember practice. I remember that a guard. Yeah, I

0:35:53.880 --> 0:35:56.480
<v Speaker 1>great eye by Mickey there because I noticed in the

0:35:56.560 --> 0:36:00.040
<v Speaker 1>one on one Mark Colombo hiss like that's it, you

0:36:00.080 --> 0:36:01.680
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean, Like he has a good set,

0:36:01.760 --> 0:36:05.200
<v Speaker 1>he's not off balance. Everything works, and in Colombo like

0:36:05.360 --> 0:36:07.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, he has a good rep. And Mark Columbia

0:36:07.360 --> 0:36:10.200
<v Speaker 1>is the assistant line coach goes over hits him on

0:36:10.239 --> 0:36:12.320
<v Speaker 1>the back. Yes, that's it. That's what you gotta do

0:36:12.480 --> 0:36:15.319
<v Speaker 1>right there. That's perfect, you know. And he's encouraging him

0:36:15.360 --> 0:36:17.719
<v Speaker 1>and so you know, build the guy up as long as,

0:36:17.800 --> 0:36:20.439
<v Speaker 1>like you say, he's having good reps. He is playing

0:36:20.480 --> 0:36:23.160
<v Speaker 1>an important position. But because Nate, I'll tell you what,

0:36:23.880 --> 0:36:28.040
<v Speaker 1>after him, you're the next best guard out there. No, no,

0:36:28.160 --> 0:36:32.680
<v Speaker 1>I just do not. He's not went through this with

0:36:32.920 --> 0:36:36.759
<v Speaker 1>other guys. And that is another guy I have to

0:36:37.200 --> 0:36:41.400
<v Speaker 1>I have to see play because what I've become accustomed

0:36:41.400 --> 0:36:45.840
<v Speaker 1>to now in the modern day era is I'm serious

0:36:45.960 --> 0:36:47.920
<v Speaker 1>and the mode of day are is a lot of

0:36:47.960 --> 0:36:51.000
<v Speaker 1>guys don't practice well, I don't they play better than

0:36:51.080 --> 0:36:54.919
<v Speaker 1>the game. Yeah, And so I gotta see in the game. Yeah,

0:36:54.960 --> 0:36:56.680
<v Speaker 1>I think he's I think the thing that you and

0:36:56.719 --> 0:36:59.799
<v Speaker 1>I've seen is the strength. Yeah, that's that's the thing.

0:37:00.000 --> 0:37:03.040
<v Speaker 1>And it's easy for those guards to do. You could

0:37:03.040 --> 0:37:06.480
<v Speaker 1>tell if a guard doesn't have strength, quickly, quickly. But

0:37:06.840 --> 0:37:10.000
<v Speaker 1>but compared to what else they got behind him, I'm

0:37:10.040 --> 0:37:19.960
<v Speaker 1>not right. Here's the eighth lineman this team. You September

0:37:20.040 --> 0:37:21.920
<v Speaker 1>first and say, okay, let me see what else is

0:37:21.960 --> 0:37:25.080
<v Speaker 1>out there. Because Martin's not playing regardless if he has

0:37:25.160 --> 0:37:27.720
<v Speaker 1>surgery or not, he's out for a while. I mean Collins,

0:37:27.800 --> 0:37:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Collins was in the same boat Lyle and any last

0:37:30.640 --> 0:37:33.799
<v Speaker 1>year surgery, it was a two years ago, two years ago. Guy,

0:37:33.880 --> 0:37:35.840
<v Speaker 1>the years just run together. He had the torn ligament

0:37:35.920 --> 0:37:38.320
<v Speaker 1>in his toe Chicago Bearer game. They debated whether to

0:37:38.360 --> 0:37:40.759
<v Speaker 1>have surgery. He ultimately had surgery. He didn't play again

0:37:40.760 --> 0:37:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the year. And seeing the only reason

0:37:42.040 --> 0:37:44.320
<v Speaker 1>he's not having surgery right away, he went for a

0:37:44.400 --> 0:37:47.640
<v Speaker 1>second opinion. But even if the second opinion says you

0:37:47.680 --> 0:37:52.920
<v Speaker 1>don't need surgery, it's like you can't opinion you need

0:37:53.000 --> 0:37:56.800
<v Speaker 1>to have surgery. Yeah, yeah, it's not like the doctor

0:37:56.840 --> 0:37:59.480
<v Speaker 1>made a mistake, right, all right, I've been making this

0:38:00.480 --> 0:38:02.640
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and go ahead, go ahead now negative, we

0:38:02.680 --> 0:38:05.080
<v Speaker 1>don't need to do that. We gotta go. We gotta

0:38:05.120 --> 0:38:07.280
<v Speaker 1>go to analyzing us. I don't want to be too negative.

0:38:07.320 --> 0:38:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Carry carry Analyzer. Just be honest. Don't worry about being negative.

0:38:11.200 --> 0:38:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Carry'll tell you if you're not doing. Absolutely I believe

0:38:16.080 --> 0:38:21.840
<v Speaker 1>this in today's you don't. When I played, you have

0:38:22.040 --> 0:38:25.360
<v Speaker 1>five six weeks to get in shape. You don't have

0:38:25.560 --> 0:38:27.160
<v Speaker 1>five or six weeks to get in shape because you

0:38:27.239 --> 0:38:29.600
<v Speaker 1>spend your first five weeks before you come to camp

0:38:29.719 --> 0:38:32.759
<v Speaker 1>getting out of shape, so by time you get back

0:38:32.960 --> 0:38:35.279
<v Speaker 1>in shape, camp is over and you have not helped

0:38:35.320 --> 0:38:37.960
<v Speaker 1>help your team. Whereas when I played, you have five

0:38:38.040 --> 0:38:44.759
<v Speaker 1>or six weeks to get in shape. So Martin, no, Nah,

0:38:45.560 --> 0:38:47.480
<v Speaker 1>it's you know you know who else was falling into

0:38:47.520 --> 0:38:51.799
<v Speaker 1>that category. Noah Brown Brown, He's gonna get left behind. Yeah,

0:38:52.760 --> 0:38:56.080
<v Speaker 1>he's gotten back in showing some stuff last year. He

0:38:56.320 --> 0:38:58.759
<v Speaker 1>showed some toughness last year, but he didn't show what

0:38:58.920 --> 0:39:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Lanceleneur show and fourteen showing up. Let's grab Brad and Virginia.

0:39:03.280 --> 0:39:04.919
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for holding before we go to the next break.

0:39:04.960 --> 0:39:11.440
<v Speaker 1>What's up Brad? So big fan, y'all? Thank you? Is

0:39:11.680 --> 0:39:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Joe Looney? I like to I like seeing what I'm

0:39:14.880 --> 0:39:17.360
<v Speaker 1>seeing out of him. Is he ever getting the chance

0:39:17.560 --> 0:39:22.920
<v Speaker 1>maybe competing with the guard spot there with Collins or

0:39:23.080 --> 0:39:25.640
<v Speaker 1>is he just mainly going to be the backup center?

0:39:26.280 --> 0:39:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Thank you y'all take care of God bless, Thank you.

0:39:28.440 --> 0:39:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Thanks Brad. Probably talking about Connor Williams, maybe maybe I

0:39:31.360 --> 0:39:35.080
<v Speaker 1>think he's the backup center guard. It's a valuable position.

0:39:35.280 --> 0:39:36.960
<v Speaker 1>It is a really valuable I mean, it's just like

0:39:37.120 --> 0:39:39.520
<v Speaker 1>last year when we talked about how valuable the backup

0:39:39.840 --> 0:39:43.160
<v Speaker 1>tackle was going to be, right, and it was invaluable

0:39:43.239 --> 0:39:46.240
<v Speaker 1>because they didn't have anybody. Joe Looney was your starting

0:39:46.320 --> 0:39:48.680
<v Speaker 1>he was with the Ones yesterday. It was a veteran

0:39:48.800 --> 0:39:52.480
<v Speaker 1>day for Travis Frederick. So Travis Frederick did not participate.

0:39:52.560 --> 0:39:55.560
<v Speaker 1>So Joe Looney in and they went to their offense

0:39:55.680 --> 0:39:58.400
<v Speaker 1>like they do. Let's pull the center, Let's pull Martin,

0:39:58.520 --> 0:40:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Let's Tay Williams, let's pull you know that's where that's he.

0:40:02.719 --> 0:40:05.880
<v Speaker 1>You can't follow him Looney Tunes anymore. Joe Looney, is

0:40:06.680 --> 0:40:10.080
<v Speaker 1>he without a doubt, he's that sixth best guy. Yeah, yeah,

0:40:10.120 --> 0:40:12.399
<v Speaker 1>he's that sixth best guy without a doubt. I mean,

0:40:13.000 --> 0:40:16.320
<v Speaker 1>uh he he this dude two three years ago I

0:40:16.960 --> 0:40:20.760
<v Speaker 1>got through training camp off him. He was so funny

0:40:20.800 --> 0:40:23.040
<v Speaker 1>to watch and I'm like, how is he gonna make

0:40:23.080 --> 0:40:26.600
<v Speaker 1>the team. But he's taking things a little bit more serious. Man.

0:40:27.800 --> 0:40:31.279
<v Speaker 1>He's conditioned and one of the one of the best

0:40:31.360 --> 0:40:35.040
<v Speaker 1>reconditioned bodies I think I've ever seen was when Ron Leary.

0:40:35.239 --> 0:40:37.920
<v Speaker 1>If we all remember Ron Larry lost his job and

0:40:38.040 --> 0:40:40.680
<v Speaker 1>then you know with Collins, and then what happened, Collins

0:40:40.760 --> 0:40:44.040
<v Speaker 1>gets hurt, Ron Larry comes in and they never missed back.

0:40:44.120 --> 0:40:47.240
<v Speaker 1>They never go back to to Collins a death spot.

0:40:47.440 --> 0:40:50.080
<v Speaker 1>And that's I think what Joe Looney has done is

0:40:50.520 --> 0:40:53.880
<v Speaker 1>he has slimmed down. His mobility is better. He's got

0:40:53.960 --> 0:40:56.200
<v Speaker 1>to work on the high snaps. We've seen some of those.

0:40:56.360 --> 0:40:58.880
<v Speaker 1>You don't want that to happen. And him, I was

0:40:58.880 --> 0:41:01.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna crest Joe. Go ahead, go ahead, But I think

0:41:01.600 --> 0:41:04.239
<v Speaker 1>I think that Nate's right. He used to. But okay,

0:41:04.280 --> 0:41:06.800
<v Speaker 1>so your seventh best is your is flaming your seventh

0:41:06.880 --> 0:41:09.920
<v Speaker 1>best line? Yeah, okay, your eighth best lineman is we say,

0:41:10.000 --> 0:41:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Kadeem Edwards at this point, who are the other options here? Yeah?

0:41:14.600 --> 0:41:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Go ahead, and you guys talk to a lot of people.

0:41:19.280 --> 0:41:21.160
<v Speaker 1>You guys talked to a lot of people in this

0:41:21.520 --> 0:41:23.520
<v Speaker 1>at work, in this front office and coaching staff and

0:41:23.560 --> 0:41:26.759
<v Speaker 1>all that, What are you hearing about Chad's green other

0:41:26.840 --> 0:41:30.680
<v Speaker 1>than what Garrett said to us yesterday? Is Chad's green?

0:41:30.920 --> 0:41:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Now they hey, we're pulling for Chad's green, but we

0:41:34.520 --> 0:41:37.399
<v Speaker 1>know what Chad's green is and it's not good enough.

0:41:37.560 --> 0:41:41.760
<v Speaker 1>I asked the question yesterday, Uh, if there's any thoughts

0:41:41.840 --> 0:41:44.479
<v Speaker 1>of moving them back to guards since your guard depth

0:41:45.160 --> 0:41:49.400
<v Speaker 1>has diminished, and I got the headshake and it was like, no,

0:41:49.640 --> 0:41:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I think he's a better tackle. I'm not sure he's

0:41:51.960 --> 0:41:57.200
<v Speaker 1>a guard so so as a tackle, so he can't

0:41:57.320 --> 0:42:00.160
<v Speaker 1>make them. He he is not playing well in for

0:42:00.239 --> 0:42:03.799
<v Speaker 1>them to have to keep him instead of a kildema. Well,

0:42:03.840 --> 0:42:07.040
<v Speaker 1>we talked about this last year, right, there's point. They

0:42:07.120 --> 0:42:09.560
<v Speaker 1>tried him a guard last year. Oh yeah, and decided

0:42:10.080 --> 0:42:11.640
<v Speaker 1>it was not gonna keep him at tackle. And I

0:42:11.719 --> 0:42:15.160
<v Speaker 1>think you know you remember he started starting, He started,

0:42:15.680 --> 0:42:21.040
<v Speaker 1>then he got hurt and they put Barron Bell or no, no,

0:42:21.520 --> 0:42:24.080
<v Speaker 1>the other guard in there that played wasn't very good,

0:42:24.200 --> 0:42:27.560
<v Speaker 1>the Cooper, Jonathan Jonathan Cooper. And then when he came back,

0:42:27.680 --> 0:42:30.239
<v Speaker 1>they decided, well, we could live with Cooper because we

0:42:30.440 --> 0:42:34.400
<v Speaker 1>need a backup swing tackle that's more important. And then

0:42:34.440 --> 0:42:37.680
<v Speaker 1>he got his opportunity and his confidence were like down

0:42:37.760 --> 0:42:40.880
<v Speaker 1>his leg. Yeah, he was shattered. So now you've invested

0:42:40.920 --> 0:42:43.200
<v Speaker 1>trying to build him back up at tackle. I don't

0:42:43.239 --> 0:42:46.400
<v Speaker 1>think you want, but look at it this way. You

0:42:46.760 --> 0:42:49.600
<v Speaker 1>would like that other tackle to be a developmental spot

0:42:49.680 --> 0:42:52.040
<v Speaker 1>on your fifty three man ross compos But have you

0:42:52.120 --> 0:42:57.560
<v Speaker 1>seen anybody that's worth developing? Maybe a practice squad type guy? Yeah? Right, potentially,

0:42:58.040 --> 0:43:01.600
<v Speaker 1>you know. I I sit there, I'm hopeful that somebody

0:43:01.760 --> 0:43:05.640
<v Speaker 1>tries to sneak somebody through and if this pro department

0:43:05.719 --> 0:43:08.160
<v Speaker 1>has been on it that the Jets tried to move

0:43:08.280 --> 0:43:09.960
<v Speaker 1>this guy in or the way they're trying to the

0:43:10.320 --> 0:43:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Buccaneers are trying to sneak this guy, and you're willing

0:43:12.920 --> 0:43:15.359
<v Speaker 1>to claim that that night. I mean, look at who's

0:43:15.360 --> 0:43:18.439
<v Speaker 1>the next guy up or a guard is Stanton? Yeah

0:43:18.880 --> 0:43:23.359
<v Speaker 1>he's not been either. Sixty three one thing. We can

0:43:23.440 --> 0:43:28.080
<v Speaker 1>rest the shares every day we get that same thing, Mama, Mama,

0:43:29.920 --> 0:43:33.320
<v Speaker 1>he's in there too. Yeah, sixty I'm gonna tell you

0:43:33.480 --> 0:43:39.960
<v Speaker 1>something for for a group of guys that I know

0:43:40.120 --> 0:43:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I was. I was how Martin Fleming, Uh, Joe Loony,

0:43:47.840 --> 0:43:50.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, okay, we got we have a dress they

0:43:50.719 --> 0:43:53.960
<v Speaker 1>fixed along with Connor, and I knew it was gonna

0:43:53.960 --> 0:43:56.560
<v Speaker 1>struggle living with Connor, but I'm like, Okay, we've fixed

0:43:56.600 --> 0:44:00.919
<v Speaker 1>this and saying, wow, man, we don't have the linebackers. Yeah,

0:44:00.920 --> 0:44:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I'll be saying, well, I don't bugs looking pretty? Oh yeah, yeah,

0:46:23.840 --> 0:46:27.520
<v Speaker 1>minutes left on a Monday edition of Talking Cowboys. You

0:46:27.560 --> 0:46:29.120
<v Speaker 1>want to squeeze in a phone call before we get

0:46:29.160 --> 0:46:31.399
<v Speaker 1>out of here. Nine seven two four nine seven forty

0:46:31.400 --> 0:46:34.880
<v Speaker 1>four hundred. But Brian, he's got a question for us

0:46:35.080 --> 0:46:37.360
<v Speaker 1>based off of dinner last night. Yeah, we got we

0:46:37.480 --> 0:46:39.600
<v Speaker 1>were all sitting around. It's funny how dinner for us

0:46:39.719 --> 0:46:43.399
<v Speaker 1>is at nine o'clock at night now, eleven Central back

0:46:43.440 --> 0:46:49.000
<v Speaker 1>eleven Central dinner. The question at the table was the if,

0:46:49.160 --> 0:46:51.520
<v Speaker 1>the if? The if? Everybody feels like I'm again not

0:46:51.560 --> 0:46:53.440
<v Speaker 1>putting words over his mouth, but if you feel like

0:46:53.520 --> 0:46:56.279
<v Speaker 1>the offensive line is their best position, what is the

0:46:56.520 --> 0:47:00.200
<v Speaker 1>second best position? You Know, people were saying, Okay, maybe

0:47:00.239 --> 0:47:04.200
<v Speaker 1>it's the corners, maybe it's the maybe it's the defense

0:47:04.360 --> 0:47:08.400
<v Speaker 1>on whatever you think. I think it's the linebackers. If

0:47:08.480 --> 0:47:10.920
<v Speaker 1>you watch the play of the linebackers, I think it's

0:47:10.960 --> 0:47:16.800
<v Speaker 1>the second best position player to player of the of

0:47:16.920 --> 0:47:18.840
<v Speaker 1>the groups that we have out here. And I was warning,

0:47:18.920 --> 0:47:21.560
<v Speaker 1>what you, gentleman Mickey out to start with. My answer

0:47:21.680 --> 0:47:24.680
<v Speaker 1>last night was linebacker, Yeah, because I think the depth

0:47:24.840 --> 0:47:27.040
<v Speaker 1>is so much better than it was last year, just

0:47:27.320 --> 0:47:30.640
<v Speaker 1>better because of Joe Thomas. I mean, Joe Thomas looks

0:47:30.680 --> 0:47:33.880
<v Speaker 1>like he is a player. And then you got your

0:47:33.920 --> 0:47:37.160
<v Speaker 1>first round draft choice to add to that, because last year,

0:47:37.280 --> 0:47:40.720
<v Speaker 1>after you got past Hitchens and if Hitchens was starting,

0:47:40.840 --> 0:47:44.960
<v Speaker 1>then you really didn't have anything behind it. So and

0:47:45.120 --> 0:47:47.719
<v Speaker 1>I think with Sean Lee on the field, and we

0:47:48.000 --> 0:47:50.239
<v Speaker 1>haven't seen a lot of Sean Lee, right, that's right.

0:47:50.280 --> 0:47:53.080
<v Speaker 1>I got back into teamwork this past last couple of days,

0:47:53.120 --> 0:47:55.319
<v Speaker 1>last couple of days, right before that, you're looking at

0:47:55.360 --> 0:47:58.520
<v Speaker 1>the linebackers, going Okay, Jalen Smith looks like a different

0:47:58.640 --> 0:48:02.320
<v Speaker 1>guy Amy and Wilson once Sean Lee gets on the

0:48:02.400 --> 0:48:05.680
<v Speaker 1>field is a different guy. Uh. And they've they've got

0:48:05.800 --> 0:48:08.200
<v Speaker 1>some some depth there. I think guys that can do

0:48:08.320 --> 0:48:10.520
<v Speaker 1>more than play special team. I wouldn't have said this

0:48:10.840 --> 0:48:13.240
<v Speaker 1>or I wouldn't have agreed with you going into camp, Brian,

0:48:13.400 --> 0:48:16.239
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not sure see what you think. But Joe

0:48:16.320 --> 0:48:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Thomas is the key for me because the question going

0:48:19.120 --> 0:48:21.279
<v Speaker 1>into is, Okay, you drafted Laton vander esh, You're gonna

0:48:21.280 --> 0:48:23.440
<v Speaker 1>bring him along. He's gonna be a middle linebacker for you.

0:48:23.760 --> 0:48:25.839
<v Speaker 1>Do you have a guy like Hitchens who can play

0:48:25.960 --> 0:48:29.239
<v Speaker 1>multiple spots and fill in if needed. Joe Thomas is

0:48:29.280 --> 0:48:31.680
<v Speaker 1>the one eating up these reps when Sean Lee's getting rested.

0:48:31.960 --> 0:48:36.760
<v Speaker 1>He's a He's a better Anthony Hitchens at will linebackers.

0:48:37.080 --> 0:48:39.719
<v Speaker 1>Does that make sense? Yes? You know Anthy Hitchens as

0:48:39.719 --> 0:48:43.120
<v Speaker 1>a MIC. I love Anthony Hitchens as a WILL. I'm

0:48:43.160 --> 0:48:46.960
<v Speaker 1>thinking maybe not as much, but he's still yeah, he's

0:48:46.960 --> 0:48:50.239
<v Speaker 1>still yeah. Serviceful is a very good word. I think

0:48:50.320 --> 0:48:53.759
<v Speaker 1>you plug in Joe Thomas at that will and you

0:48:53.960 --> 0:48:56.120
<v Speaker 1>don't miss a beat. And I mean that in respect

0:48:56.239 --> 0:48:58.880
<v Speaker 1>to you know, it's not a huge gap. It's not

0:48:59.040 --> 0:49:01.240
<v Speaker 1>And I know it's terrible radio to hold your hands

0:49:01.320 --> 0:49:03.640
<v Speaker 1>up if you're watching. Yeah, we got cameras here. Yeah,

0:49:03.640 --> 0:49:05.160
<v Speaker 1>I got cameras, but you might be not. You might

0:49:05.200 --> 0:49:07.600
<v Speaker 1>be driving home like Nate and you know you're listening

0:49:07.640 --> 0:49:09.920
<v Speaker 1>to me. I'm holding my hands up a foot apart.

0:49:10.480 --> 0:49:12.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's not that huge gap. I think that.

0:49:13.239 --> 0:49:17.279
<v Speaker 1>I think that Joe Thomas edition in the stack position, Yeah,

0:49:17.320 --> 0:49:21.799
<v Speaker 1>it's that, but I think the thanks for clarifying that. Yes,

0:49:22.080 --> 0:49:24.400
<v Speaker 1>but this might be one of those editions that we

0:49:24.560 --> 0:49:27.560
<v Speaker 1>look back on at the end of the year and say, oh,

0:49:27.920 --> 0:49:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Tavon Austin, Joe Thomas, you know where was you know,

0:49:32.520 --> 0:49:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Chris Rochard, who was the who was the difference maker

0:49:36.480 --> 0:49:39.239
<v Speaker 1>for this football team? Yeah, I think that's I I

0:49:39.400 --> 0:49:42.640
<v Speaker 1>and I like march Lillard. I like Justin march Lillard

0:49:42.680 --> 0:49:44.960
<v Speaker 1>as well. I think they've got some good guys at

0:49:45.000 --> 0:49:48.040
<v Speaker 1>that spot. And it's a shame that he got sick,

0:49:48.200 --> 0:49:51.000
<v Speaker 1>but Covington was He's back out there today. Yeah, yeah,

0:49:51.000 --> 0:49:55.759
<v Speaker 1>it's back out there now, you there. No, I got

0:49:55.840 --> 0:49:58.480
<v Speaker 1>our first six offensive liman and and I think I

0:49:58.560 --> 0:50:03.920
<v Speaker 1>got our first six. But I'm telling you you said

0:50:03.960 --> 0:50:07.440
<v Speaker 1>it that Joe Thomas as a will. But I promise

0:50:07.480 --> 0:50:11.560
<v Speaker 1>you if we need a Mike, he's sitting there, he'll

0:50:11.600 --> 0:50:14.080
<v Speaker 1>see he'll play Mike. Yeah, because when me and brought

0:50:14.160 --> 0:50:17.279
<v Speaker 1>us is watching film on him, Mick and Rob. He

0:50:17.520 --> 0:50:20.880
<v Speaker 1>makes the plays he's supposed to make. If you make

0:50:20.920 --> 0:50:24.120
<v Speaker 1>a mistake, that play turns into what he's supposed to

0:50:24.200 --> 0:50:27.399
<v Speaker 1>make into a big play. He's always around the ball

0:50:27.560 --> 0:50:30.560
<v Speaker 1>to tip ball by came on Phrasier. He makes the

0:50:30.640 --> 0:50:33.240
<v Speaker 1>plays he's supposed to make, and if you make a mistake,

0:50:33.480 --> 0:50:35.279
<v Speaker 1>he'll make a bigger play. See this is where and

0:50:35.400 --> 0:50:38.279
<v Speaker 1>yesterday too. I'm like on the notebook this morning, I

0:50:38.360 --> 0:50:40.400
<v Speaker 1>wrote about if you saw it late. They had a

0:50:40.520 --> 0:50:43.480
<v Speaker 1>compete period with the young guys, but he happened to

0:50:43.520 --> 0:50:46.080
<v Speaker 1>be on the field for the for the defense. Well,

0:50:46.120 --> 0:50:49.360
<v Speaker 1>they try and throw a slant inside the JUNI, you know,

0:50:49.600 --> 0:50:52.279
<v Speaker 1>and it's it's Mike White. He tried to throw the

0:50:52.320 --> 0:50:57.279
<v Speaker 1>slant and what happens. Thomas reads, the slant drops and

0:50:57.520 --> 0:51:00.759
<v Speaker 1>now you got length going in the air. I can't

0:51:00.800 --> 0:51:05.640
<v Speaker 1>remember the last time I've seen a outside linebacker read

0:51:05.760 --> 0:51:09.000
<v Speaker 1>to defend the slant, you know, and White's gonna I mean,

0:51:09.200 --> 0:51:12.080
<v Speaker 1>there's gonna be a catch because they've Duke Thomas's beat

0:51:12.120 --> 0:51:14.920
<v Speaker 1>to the inside. Right, they're gonna they're gonna get this slant. Now,

0:51:15.080 --> 0:51:17.520
<v Speaker 1>say Mike White might have held the ball. We've you know,

0:51:17.600 --> 0:51:20.200
<v Speaker 1>we've that's kind of a documented thing right now. But

0:51:20.320 --> 0:51:23.560
<v Speaker 1>when you see an outside linebacker defend the slant and

0:51:23.680 --> 0:51:26.640
<v Speaker 1>knock a ball away, that's a guy that's locked in

0:51:26.719 --> 0:51:28.879
<v Speaker 1>and playing well. You seeing that. That was the part

0:51:29.400 --> 0:51:32.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot last year when we would try to say

0:51:33.120 --> 0:51:35.839
<v Speaker 1>how they were doubling Dez Well, one of the things

0:51:35.920 --> 0:51:40.000
<v Speaker 1>they were doing right linebacker and buzz him out, and

0:51:40.400 --> 0:51:44.239
<v Speaker 1>then Dez is he's chopped meat there. He can't run

0:51:44.320 --> 0:51:48.120
<v Speaker 1>that route. So that's how you can double a linebacker,

0:51:48.360 --> 0:51:57.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean a wide receiver pass that stunt. Well issue,

0:51:57.200 --> 0:52:02.800
<v Speaker 1>my issue is this here, he's gonna say, when when, somehow,

0:52:02.880 --> 0:52:05.560
<v Speaker 1>if something happened to Sean Lee, the first guy ain't

0:52:06.000 --> 0:52:10.960
<v Speaker 1>our first round pick at this point, right, Yeah, you're

0:52:11.040 --> 0:52:15.400
<v Speaker 1>right about that. Yeah, it's been playing, they've been moving

0:52:15.440 --> 0:52:20.640
<v Speaker 1>and give him some snaps. Yeah yeah, And see my

0:52:20.880 --> 0:52:25.040
<v Speaker 1>my issue is, and my issue is, is this team

0:52:26.480 --> 0:52:32.239
<v Speaker 1>tough enough to say at this time, Layton, we love you.

0:52:33.200 --> 0:52:35.640
<v Speaker 1>What Joe doing is a little bit better. I mean

0:52:36.840 --> 0:52:40.520
<v Speaker 1>it's always been uh that first round, second round, third round,

0:52:40.680 --> 0:52:43.439
<v Speaker 1>and then you know me. Now, if I figure Gut better,

0:52:43.719 --> 0:52:45.759
<v Speaker 1>then I go with a better guy. But if if

0:52:45.920 --> 0:52:49.759
<v Speaker 1>Laton this much behind him, I'm going with Laton. But

0:52:49.960 --> 0:52:54.279
<v Speaker 1>this guy has separated himself. Are you showing your heads? Yeah? No,

0:52:54.640 --> 0:52:58.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm one in front. Each other's stacked. But you agree

0:52:58.840 --> 0:53:01.920
<v Speaker 1>or disagree. The second the best lineback on that field

0:53:02.000 --> 0:53:03.600
<v Speaker 1>for the Cowboys other than that, I felt was the

0:53:03.719 --> 0:53:06.480
<v Speaker 1>number forty. If I had to play the Carolina Panthers

0:53:06.520 --> 0:53:13.480
<v Speaker 1>and something happened to Shanlee or Jalen Smith, I'm putting

0:53:13.520 --> 0:53:16.879
<v Speaker 1>Joe Thomas. That's what I'm saying. Okay, he's that he's

0:53:17.840 --> 0:53:21.040
<v Speaker 1>he's trust. No, bro, he's not on the trust. He's

0:53:21.080 --> 0:53:23.040
<v Speaker 1>played better and by the way, so why do you

0:53:23.160 --> 0:53:29.200
<v Speaker 1>think he was available? This is seriously watched. The documentary

0:53:29.360 --> 0:53:31.960
<v Speaker 1>had three five and eleven seasons in a row. We

0:53:32.080 --> 0:53:35.279
<v Speaker 1>messed that thing badly. Other factors besides that, this was

0:53:35.320 --> 0:53:37.320
<v Speaker 1>a Joe Thomas, by the way, who was on this

0:53:37.440 --> 0:53:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys practice squad? What a couple of years ago signed

0:53:39.840 --> 0:53:42.320
<v Speaker 1>off it? Yeah, to Green Bay he played in a

0:53:42.440 --> 0:53:45.879
<v Speaker 1>three four scheme with the Packers. Get him into four. Yeah,

0:53:46.000 --> 0:53:48.399
<v Speaker 1>you know where he playing in a three four? They

0:53:48.440 --> 0:53:51.319
<v Speaker 1>play him inside. They played him inside, Yeah, inside back.

0:53:51.920 --> 0:53:53.600
<v Speaker 1>A matter of fact, he played against Carolina. One of

0:53:53.600 --> 0:53:56.399
<v Speaker 1>the tapes I watched was him playing Carolina and how

0:53:56.480 --> 0:53:58.480
<v Speaker 1>to heck? I mean he was blowing people up in

0:53:58.560 --> 0:54:06.480
<v Speaker 1>that game. He's a musical guy. You know, say meals though, No, man,

0:54:06.600 --> 0:54:09.080
<v Speaker 1>guy's hard to block. Yeah, he wasn't find he was.

0:54:09.160 --> 0:54:10.680
<v Speaker 1>He was a center block. I mean he's like a

0:54:10.760 --> 0:54:13.280
<v Speaker 1>center block, like a center block in that best position.

0:54:13.440 --> 0:54:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Argument besides the old line is it is it a

0:54:16.680 --> 0:54:19.600
<v Speaker 1>cop out to say running back with Zeke because not

0:54:19.760 --> 0:54:23.279
<v Speaker 1>just Zeke lot Smith is looking is having a terrific camp.

0:54:23.360 --> 0:54:26.440
<v Speaker 1>He looked good in that first series and I think

0:54:26.719 --> 0:54:28.680
<v Speaker 1>you know he provides some depth for Zeke and he's

0:54:28.680 --> 0:54:31.560
<v Speaker 1>throwing table if you want to use okay this go

0:54:31.719 --> 0:54:34.680
<v Speaker 1>four for four, then go four, go four running backs,

0:54:35.440 --> 0:54:39.880
<v Speaker 1>four linebackers, four, four cornerbacks. Okay, what's what the flies today?

0:54:40.000 --> 0:54:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what y'all give guys stars? Right, y'all

0:54:45.040 --> 0:54:48.759
<v Speaker 1>give guys stars Man of the match of the match.

0:54:48.840 --> 0:54:51.480
<v Speaker 1>And I am so shocked. Nobody has given Zeke a

0:54:51.560 --> 0:54:55.320
<v Speaker 1>star yet? Have we not? Just take not because I

0:54:56.760 --> 0:54:58.880
<v Speaker 1>take for granted. Well, if the thing with Zeke is

0:54:59.520 --> 0:55:01.799
<v Speaker 1>they did you see that double Oh the double move

0:55:01.920 --> 0:55:06.000
<v Speaker 1>is the hop hop and about it hop out? You

0:55:06.040 --> 0:55:09.799
<v Speaker 1>give him a start. I did not gave Gregory, did

0:55:09.840 --> 0:55:11.799
<v Speaker 1>any did any of the running eight of y'all gave

0:55:11.880 --> 0:55:15.359
<v Speaker 1>Gregory star? Not for me? I stopped reading because every game,

0:55:15.440 --> 0:55:16.960
<v Speaker 1>all right, you know what, no matter what happens to there,

0:55:16.960 --> 0:55:18.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm giving Zeke a star. All right, you go with

0:55:18.560 --> 0:55:22.000
<v Speaker 1>that has a running back? Got a star yet? I

0:55:22.080 --> 0:55:25.600
<v Speaker 1>think I got Rod smith Smitz Yeah, you know both

0:55:25.640 --> 0:55:28.279
<v Speaker 1>scart Bowl has been nice. Yeah, I gave him a

0:55:28.320 --> 0:55:31.239
<v Speaker 1>star yesterday. He was my man in the match. Yeah.

0:55:31.280 --> 0:55:33.480
<v Speaker 1>He gave him after he got blue bow on a

0:55:33.520 --> 0:55:35.759
<v Speaker 1>pass No no, no, no no, I I but did

0:55:35.800 --> 0:55:39.320
<v Speaker 1>his pass rush the one on one pass rush was

0:55:39.440 --> 0:55:41.680
<v Speaker 1>bad and then he did something click and then he

0:55:41.760 --> 0:55:46.719
<v Speaker 1>did compete. Yeah, and he got the real Yeah. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>Scott in North Carolina, you're up next. I'm talking Cowboys

0:56:03.040 --> 0:56:07.440
<v Speaker 1>morning guys. Hey, Scotty. First off, as a longtime Cowboy fan,

0:56:07.480 --> 0:56:11.120
<v Speaker 1>I want to thank Nate especially for all the joy

0:56:11.239 --> 0:56:13.920
<v Speaker 1>that hit him and his teammates brought me while watching

0:56:14.000 --> 0:56:16.440
<v Speaker 1>his coming backs on armed Ports TV being away from

0:56:16.480 --> 0:56:18.480
<v Speaker 1>home and that was just such a joy to me.

0:56:18.600 --> 0:56:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for that. My question is about coaching. How

0:56:23.160 --> 0:56:26.800
<v Speaker 1>does coaching UH affect the player? To say, you know,

0:56:26.880 --> 0:56:30.520
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of excitement about chrismas Shard. My question is, say,

0:56:30.600 --> 0:56:33.120
<v Speaker 1>for example, Nate, if you had been in Washington, would

0:56:33.120 --> 0:56:35.000
<v Speaker 1>you have been the same player where the coaches made

0:56:35.040 --> 0:56:38.080
<v Speaker 1>you the same player? I'd have been with Joe Gibbs. Yeah. Yeah,

0:56:38.120 --> 0:56:40.720
<v Speaker 1>I've been with Joe Gibbs. They had a great Joe buble.

0:56:40.840 --> 0:56:43.319
<v Speaker 1>They had a Joe bugle, I had a hey, great

0:56:43.400 --> 0:56:45.200
<v Speaker 1>coaching staff. Yeah, I'd have been with it. But they

0:56:45.239 --> 0:56:47.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't keep you. They didn't keep me because they had

0:56:47.680 --> 0:56:51.320
<v Speaker 1>the hogs. Baby. Yeah, I was hog ish, but not involved.

0:56:52.880 --> 0:56:58.640
<v Speaker 1>You're a piglet, yeah, but I want one of their homes.

0:56:58.960 --> 0:57:01.400
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't wild in the mud. That was that was

0:57:01.480 --> 0:57:04.640
<v Speaker 1>a big at that time. That's a big athletic group

0:57:04.719 --> 0:57:08.280
<v Speaker 1>with all the countertrait stuff, right, oh man Joja Kobe

0:57:08.360 --> 0:57:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Man out of Louisville. I think it was a free agent,

0:57:11.640 --> 0:57:14.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, Russ Graham's second round pick who was always

0:57:14.040 --> 0:57:15.800
<v Speaker 1>mad at Mark maybe because he had one of the

0:57:16.400 --> 0:57:22.760
<v Speaker 1>big Wow, that was a good group, Joe Boster. They

0:57:22.800 --> 0:57:25.000
<v Speaker 1>had they had athletes, I mean that for big men.

0:57:25.160 --> 0:57:28.840
<v Speaker 1>They were athletes. So yeah. But but but coaching, though,

0:57:29.360 --> 0:57:31.840
<v Speaker 1>it does make a difference here, Oh it does. Man.

0:57:33.240 --> 0:57:36.080
<v Speaker 1>As a coach, you want to do everything to help

0:57:36.160 --> 0:57:38.280
<v Speaker 1>your player be the best he can be. You want

0:57:38.320 --> 0:57:40.880
<v Speaker 1>to be able to The difference is if you can

0:57:40.960 --> 0:57:44.120
<v Speaker 1>see who your players are. If a scout he sayd

0:57:44.120 --> 0:57:46.160
<v Speaker 1>hey brother, it is this type player. I want I

0:57:46.320 --> 0:57:48.200
<v Speaker 1>go get this player. I find out what he can

0:57:48.280 --> 0:57:51.120
<v Speaker 1>and cannot do that. That's that is what a good

0:57:51.200 --> 0:57:55.040
<v Speaker 1>coach does and helps you through those weak times, you know,

0:57:55.160 --> 0:57:58.760
<v Speaker 1>exempt blows up your your your good part, but but

0:57:58.920 --> 0:58:01.360
<v Speaker 1>helps you through the bad ours. That's what Chris doing

0:58:01.400 --> 0:58:04.760
<v Speaker 1>that there. Yeah, and we'll see what Chris be consistent, Yeah,

0:58:04.800 --> 0:58:07.400
<v Speaker 1>consistent throughout. We'll see more of that this afternoon. Now,

0:58:07.480 --> 0:58:10.720
