Speaker 1: Remember what this day is all about. Thank you to
Speaker 1: everyone that has served, everyone that has paid the old price.
Speaker 1: Remember what this day is about. It that doesn't really
Speaker 1: just kick off summer, but it's a lot deeper than that.
Speaker 1: So thanks to everyone out there that is currently serving,
Speaker 1: has served, and all the all the friends and family
Speaker 1: of those people as well. How are we doing today, fellows.
Speaker 1: We're gonna do a short show because we have things
Speaker 1: to do, not really, but we're gonna act like, so,
Speaker 1: how are y'all doing? How you doing? Jesse? You good?
Speaker 1: I'm dood Matt. I want to start to show off
Speaker 1: by saying salute to all the men and women on
Speaker 1: the service a special shout out to my uncle Burley,
Speaker 1: who is a veteran and who has recovered and come
Speaker 1: back from the COVID nineteen so he is a He
Speaker 1: is a fighter through and through. Thank you for all

Speaker 1: I appreciate you. I love you. Salute to you. Keep fighting,
Speaker 1: keep getting better. I love you. Kurt Nice, Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: How are you guys to that great doing? All right?
Speaker 1: You know it's a rainy Monday morning, but other than that,
Speaker 1: it's good to see you guys right in my day
Speaker 1: a little bit. Oh that's so sweet, Hay And I
Speaker 1: just want to say thank you to mother Gross. And
Speaker 1: I'm trying to make my head as big as your
Speaker 1: son's and getting close to it because I know I'm
Speaker 1: know as a hell of a job trying to serve
Speaker 1: correct this kid as he was growing up. Thank you
Speaker 1: to all the Gross family. I don't know how, I
Speaker 1: don't know how good have a job she did? Does
Speaker 1: she tried? Bless her heart? Oh all right, let's get
Speaker 1: right into it since we're gonna do a shorter show today.
Speaker 1: Aldan Smith news came out last week after the show.
Speaker 1: He's reinstated. I want to know he hasn't played his
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. It looks great on paper, the man looks
Speaker 1: great on Instagram. He looks like a beast. But what
Speaker 1: should we expect from this guy? Being out of the league?
Speaker 1: Got laws? Should we expect any production at all? Is
Speaker 1: it gonna take him a year to get up to speed?
Speaker 1: Can we expect? How many players should we expect? Jesse Kurt,
Speaker 1: what do you guys think? And Nate, if you were
Speaker 1: to judge in there, I'll use an analogy that Tony
Speaker 1: Atlas think, the great Hall of Fame boxing trainer. Recently
Speaker 1: we saw Mike Tyson come out with these videos about
Speaker 1: how he's ready to get back in the ring and
Speaker 1: he's training, he's fighting, and him looks phenomenal, right, and
Speaker 1: we remember the iron Mike Tyson of old, and Tony
Speaker 1: Atlas said, but but no one's hitting him back. He's
Speaker 1: hitting these paths, and yes, he does look promosions and
Speaker 1: he has the moves and he goes, but no one's
Speaker 1: hitting him back. And then Tony Atlas beginning to go
Speaker 1: and don't like he goes, Don't I look good too?
Speaker 1: But until someone hits you and you can show all
Speaker 1: the workout videos you want, but this guy's been out
Speaker 1: of football for almost four and a half five years,
Speaker 1: and while he was playing, he was one of the best.
Speaker 1: But there is something about when you step away from
Speaker 1: this game for that longer, for the game evolves, it changes.
Speaker 1: Your body changes. You're not you know, you get older,
Speaker 1: you're not as quick anymore, you're not as strong as
Speaker 1: you used to be, You're not as you know. Your
Speaker 1: mind has to kind of get back into the swing
Speaker 1: of things. And one of the biggest things is your
Speaker 1: body takes on this trauma right when when you're playing football.
Speaker 1: And Nick can attest to this. It's this level of
Speaker 1: trauma that your body takes that you mentally and physically
Speaker 1: have to get used to doing again, and that takes
Speaker 1: some time for you to be able to take those
Speaker 1: bumps and bruges and still be able to kick and
Speaker 1: be able still you know, be kicking and still going
Speaker 1: at a high level. So I don't know, it's a
Speaker 1: huge gamble. I don't know what he's going to be
Speaker 1: physically and mentally once he gets back on the football field.
Speaker 1: But he looks good in the workouts. I don't think
Speaker 1: you can really plan on anything with him. This Cowboys
Speaker 1: shouldn't go into this season saying, oh, we're gonna get,
Speaker 1: you know, so many snaps from them and three sacks
Speaker 1: or whatever. I mean, like Jesse says, he's been gone
Speaker 1: so long. I think anything you get from him is gravy.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just a little extra on top. But
Speaker 1: you can't plan your season around what this guy's gonna
Speaker 1: do because it's, like Jesse said, there's just no knowing.
Speaker 1: I tell he's right here, Fellas. Everything you guys have
Speaker 1: said is shoot to the game, man. Uh, what this
Speaker 1: is what I believe is once again, were brought in
Speaker 1: coach Mike Nolan, We brought in coach Tom Sulu. We
Speaker 1: brought in our Harris. We brought in guys that have
Speaker 1: some type of good reputation when it comes to defense.
Speaker 1: Once again, we've bought into a belief that these guys
Speaker 1: can take average to above average guys, and I gotta
Speaker 1: put all that into that category until he showed more
Speaker 1: that they can take with their system and scheme and
Speaker 1: plethora of players that they're bringing in, that they can
Speaker 1: have above average defense that can make some plays to
Speaker 1: help the offense, and going even going into Randy Gregory.
Speaker 1: If you get these guys back and they and they
Speaker 1: give you any production, that's great, But you still you
Speaker 1: still have to lean on the guys that you call
Speaker 1: your stars. That's our two young linebackers they need to
Speaker 1: return to form. That's our defensive end, and the market's Lawrence,
Speaker 1: who need to find somebody on that back end that
Speaker 1: we can depend on. So I'm with you, guys man.
Speaker 1: For much as we love the potential of our offense,
Speaker 1: our defenses, right now, it's just it's just playing on
Speaker 1: an unleveled field until they can get in, get in
Speaker 1: and start working. Are you Are you that worried about
Speaker 1: the right defensive end? It seems like right defensive end
Speaker 1: right now, it's just build on hope. You hope Brandy
Speaker 1: Gregory back, your hope Alten Smith can play, You, hope
Speaker 1: Tyron Crawford is healthy. I mean, that's that's a lot
Speaker 1: of ifs there on that position. Are you worried at
Speaker 1: all about what's going to happen there? No, I'm not,
Speaker 1: because if you were worried, you would have drafted somebody
Speaker 1: to hired in the second round. The Cowboys have told
Speaker 1: us that they feel good about the situation and that
Speaker 1: they'll pick somebody up wants this thing, get going to
Speaker 1: free agent. They've told you see one thing that I
Speaker 1: think that all of us, especially with us, but the
Speaker 1: sound thinging of Jesse Holly, we all see what they've done.
Speaker 1: It's all offense. We'll piece together the defense. We gotta
Speaker 1: stud left defense. Events supposed to we got two supposed
Speaker 1: to be coming. Don't hit him with the supposed league.
Speaker 1: Don't hit him supposed don't don't, don't don't a compliment
Speaker 1: with this hand and then don't a backhanded Okay, but
Speaker 1: let me thank you, Jeff, thank you, Jesse. Let me
Speaker 1: be a little more specific. When we play teams with
Speaker 1: winning rucords, where we need our starts to stand up
Speaker 1: and shine, that's where I think my man has to
Speaker 1: go to the next level. I think that's where Tank
Speaker 1: Lawrence has to go to the next level. We play
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles, when we play uh, what's what's the team,
Speaker 1: the Ravens. When we play these type teams, that's where
Speaker 1: he has a short big So that's that's why I'm
Speaker 1: saying what I'm saying. I'm sorry because I another disrespect
Speaker 1: Tank Lauren. So you right, jessef slap me for you
Speaker 1: was saying it. But to answer your question, Shannon, I
Speaker 1: think that the Cowboys think when it comes to that
Speaker 1: right defensive end position, um there, they have options, uh,
Speaker 1: and they know what they have in tank. You have
Speaker 1: an elite I'll say it, you have an elite defensive
Speaker 1: left left end, so you're fine over there. But I
Speaker 1: think you know what they're looking for that right defensive end.
Speaker 1: You lost Robert Quinn the free agency, you draft a
Speaker 1: guy like Bradley and I, who I absolutely love too,
Speaker 1: and then now you say, okay, if I can get
Speaker 1: something a little bit from Bradley and I, if I
Speaker 1: can get a little bit from you know, Randy Gregor
Speaker 1: if he gets reached the if I can get a
Speaker 1: little bit from Tyron Crawford, I can get a little
Speaker 1: bit from Aldon Smith. We've now given ourselves a rotation.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that you're depending on all of these
Speaker 1: guys to step up, but if each one of these
Speaker 1: guys can give us something, we've now given ourselves a
Speaker 1: plethora of options. Maybe maybe one time we need a
Speaker 1: guy who's more sturdy in the run game on that
Speaker 1: in our right side, and somebody maybe to step in there.
Speaker 1: Maybe you know, maybe Bradley and I is coming off
Speaker 1: having a really good game or a really good couple
Speaker 1: of weeks, we can give him more rep there. You're
Speaker 1: you're not forging your future on an Alden Smith. You're saying,
Speaker 1: we have options. We got a guy we drafted, we're
Speaker 1: gonna give rep to. We got a guy now and
Speaker 1: can go back to his natural position, the tyrone Crawford
Speaker 1: to play defensive end where we originally wanted him to play.
Speaker 1: We have a young guy who's going to be learning
Speaker 1: behind him, and then we have a guy who has
Speaker 1: pedigree of being a prolific player in the past. We
Speaker 1: don't know what he's going to be in the future.
Speaker 1: But we're not We're We're not We're not mortgaging the
Speaker 1: house on saying if Alne Smith doesn't get back to form,
Speaker 1: we're screwed. No, we have a plethora of players there
Speaker 1: that we can come in and we can get a
Speaker 1: little bit of each one of those guys playing well.
Speaker 1: Now we're able to build a much stronger rotation with
Speaker 1: those guys. Yeah, it is a little bit better than
Speaker 1: the wide receiver committee. I grant you. Then, until they
Speaker 1: do something that commit its son willis with the Cowboys
Speaker 1: that I came swallowing clearly just yet that weren't committee bobbles. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you're good with Lawrence Poe McCoy along that, or
Speaker 1: I'm good with I'm guy just then, just a bunch
Speaker 1: of guys on the right side. Oh, way to go, Kurt,
Speaker 1: Way he just call him a bunch of guys worst
Speaker 1: of me. I'm sorry, shirt whatever, we're able to go
Speaker 1: to the locker room. I want you to go in
Speaker 1: the locker room and I'm going to introduce you this.
Speaker 1: This is Kurt. The four of you are just a
Speaker 1: bunch of guys. They're way beyond me. I shouldn't say that,
Speaker 1: but last time, great, the last time Kurt did that,
Speaker 1: he kickstarted a kid's career, Snake Bike got him a
Speaker 1: big old fact contract. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll tell you
Speaker 1: it's all me right, all right, I want to go,
Speaker 1: I want to go. I want to talk about Jamal Adams.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna wait until after the break because I
Speaker 1: have a feeling when Jesse gets started started forget Jesse.
Speaker 1: You're out of this next segment. Jesse, you don't have
Speaker 1: to worry about me. I will listen. I'll take my
Speaker 1: headset off and everything one players six. We're gonna wait.
Speaker 1: We're gonna wait before we get it differ, before we
Speaker 1: take our first and only break. Jason locking For of
Speaker 1: CBS came out with his tears for quarterbacks in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Kurt Sydney this, he's got Dak in the second tier
Speaker 1: ranked eleven, but he's got Carson Wentz ranked seven one.
Speaker 1: Do you guys think that's right? And what the hell
Speaker 1: is going on with all these rumors about his contract
Speaker 1: and now they're offering in five years and they're wanting
Speaker 1: to pay him thirty five million? Like, can we just
Speaker 1: get a deal done, Let's just sign the man. This
Speaker 1: is your quarterback. Let's just let's get this done. What
Speaker 1: do y'all think? It's tricky? Man, it's tricky. You say break?
Speaker 1: I thought you was teasing for the break. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: let's do this. Now we can do Jamal Adams after
Speaker 1: the break. What do you think about all this dack stuff? Well,
Speaker 1: I think we'll meet go ahead, goohead. Well, I just
Speaker 1: I think it's ham strung. The club can't do anything
Speaker 1: until they get this done. I think, you know, if
Speaker 1: they want to bring in, Jamal, it's gonna be big money.
Speaker 1: Anything they want to do now of significance. I don't
Speaker 1: think they can do anything until they get this done.
Speaker 1: And it sounds like it's gonna go right down to
Speaker 1: the wire, right down to July. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know how they're gonna get out of this without
Speaker 1: They're just such a bad position with it. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be tough. Don't don't. Don't buy answer that they have
Speaker 1: signed everybody they wanted to sign. It everybody's significant, that
Speaker 1: the cowboys that wanted to sign they are signed. You know,
Speaker 1: it's all The only elephant in the ruin that Missus
Speaker 1: Jones say is dack that everybody of significance is signed.
Speaker 1: You know, they even got money for CD, Lamb and Trevor.
Speaker 1: Everybody's sitting care of. I ain't buying that, bro, I
Speaker 1: ain't buying that. You're not even it's done a job,
Speaker 1: Jamal Alams. I thought we'd go wait on that. But
Speaker 1: since you bring up that superstar stud in the jets
Speaker 1: land you bubing beast in the backfield or back on
Speaker 1: to the back on the jet, I mean back on
Speaker 1: the jets Benny and the jet I think, I think
Speaker 1: the biggest thing when it comes to that contract is
Speaker 1: and with DAK you have to remember, we have no
Speaker 1: OTAs you have no many, We have nothing to talk about.
Speaker 1: So all of these reports and these people, whether it's
Speaker 1: Jason Lockerford or Mike Fisher or Mike uh Folio or
Speaker 1: who Ian Rapaport, all these guys, they have to generate
Speaker 1: Sam's because oh my god, they have to generate. They
Speaker 1: have to generate right news population. And we all know
Speaker 1: we've been around long enough to know what we're talking about. Football,
Speaker 1: Who and what team generates the most buzz on any topic.
Speaker 1: So you can go out there, you can say, you
Speaker 1: know what I heard that Dad, remove this pinky finger,
Speaker 1: because you know, it just it just didn't feel right,
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden it'll be a story as
Speaker 1: crazy as it may sound or whatever it may be.
Speaker 1: When it deals with the Cowboys and it deals with
Speaker 1: the quarterback of the cowboys, you know, people are just
Speaker 1: trying to to have conversation. They're trying to push people
Speaker 1: to their websites, into their dot coms, and so a
Speaker 1: lot of these numbers are fabricated, a lot of these
Speaker 1: you know, these these rumors are fabricated. A lot of
Speaker 1: these things are untrue, and it's just simply because we
Speaker 1: have nothing else to talk about. So people start speculating
Speaker 1: that their their shower thoughts. They're sitting on the throne
Speaker 1: number two thoughts. All now become it becomes tweets, it
Speaker 1: becomes headlines, it becomes conversations, and because we have nothing
Speaker 1: else to talk about, there's literally nothing else to talk about.
Speaker 1: All these things that it's it's like, you know, a
Speaker 1: hot summer day in dry grass, it'll catch fire and
Speaker 1: it'll be a brush fire and then before you know it,
Speaker 1: acres and acres of stuff are just burnt up. Because
Speaker 1: that's how they wanted to do. They want this thing
Speaker 1: to catch fire and just go. And you know, when
Speaker 1: it comes to Cowboys conversation, you mentioned any any, anything
Speaker 1: or everything about the cowboys, and it will get attention.
Speaker 1: Speaking of catching fire. You do not want to get
Speaker 1: away from this show. We're going to talk about Jamal
Speaker 1: Adams and y'all talking about Jamal Adams, Jay Jemal Radio Adams.

Speaker 1: rumors the root. I know I'm gonna get that done eventually,
Speaker 1: maybe next year, well before I get it done, but
Speaker 1: we'll get that done. Rumors came out, Jamal Adams. The
Speaker 1: Jets want to first and a third of course, the
Speaker 1: Cowboys or you know, like Jesse said, everyone's looking for
Speaker 1: a story. And what's sexier in a story than the
Speaker 1: cowboys and Jerry Jones being interested in something they are
Speaker 1: rumored to be interested in. This that sounds a little
Speaker 1: bit too rich for for what I'd be willing to
Speaker 1: give up. What do you guys think should the Cowboys
Speaker 1: be interested in? Jamal Adams And as a first and
Speaker 1: a third too much to ask Nate, Yes, yes, I
Speaker 1: think that should be it. Yeah, yeah, And I love
Speaker 1: him the Demnat and and uh, we should be interested,
Speaker 1: but that's by the flud the goals, because we're not
Speaker 1: giving up. First and the third, I think he's a
Speaker 1: great player. Uh he'll he'll be a big piece to
Speaker 1: what we're missing, and that its playmakers. I look at
Speaker 1: is a guy playmaker. He's a playmaker. But first and
Speaker 1: the third, we're gonna need to give it up. Let's
Speaker 1: ride with what we got and let's see how to
Speaker 1: see how this pans out. I mean, they're still on
Speaker 1: the contract for two years, so they just post him,
Speaker 1: you know, And I'm with jests on that. You when
Speaker 1: you postuming like that, the jests of posturing U the
Speaker 1: kid is posturing the agent. They're just postuming you're on
Speaker 1: the contract for the next two years. That already told
Speaker 1: him a year earlier. We're taking your fifth your fifth years.
Speaker 1: It's about having fun and keeping the room the mill going.
Speaker 1: I mean, be interested. But unless they give you to him,
Speaker 1: which they ain't, don't even worry about it. So you
Speaker 1: wouldn't You wouldn't entertain the thought for for any picks.
Speaker 1: You're just saying we'll take the down tract. Nah, okay,
Speaker 1: now just right now, I mean, we don't know what's
Speaker 1: happening in this in this new world we're living in
Speaker 1: h And he's on the contract. He's going into his
Speaker 1: fourth year and they have already accepted his fifth year
Speaker 1: so that he can talk moan grown all he want.
Speaker 1: He ain't going no, well, at least for another year. Kurt, Well,
Speaker 1: I don't think they will either. It's like y'all are saying,
Speaker 1: it's just talk, you know, getting the roomor mill started.
Speaker 1: But even if they wanted them, I mean, he's already
Speaker 1: said he wants to be the highest paid safety, So
Speaker 1: you're talking about a minimum of fifteen million dollars and
Speaker 1: the Cowboys aren't going to do that. Can't do that. Again.
Speaker 1: That's kind of why I brought up their hamstrung a
Speaker 1: little bit with that. They can't make a move like
Speaker 1: that until they get decked. So um, yeah, I think
Speaker 1: it's just talk. He's not coming here, Jessy, even when
Speaker 1: they can comments the voice of reason. You guys know
Speaker 1: where I stood on this whole thing and the Jamal
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that Jamal Adams is not a
Speaker 1: good player, but the thing that's a great player, the
Speaker 1: thing that whatever, the thing, the thing the thing that,
Speaker 1: the thing that The thing that that boils in my
Speaker 1: blood a little bit when it comes to the Jamal
Speaker 1: Adam whole conversation is partly what Nate was talking about,
Speaker 1: how we're still under contract, but two people always say, Oh,
Speaker 1: he's a great leader and we need his leadership, and
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. And this is the thing
Speaker 1: that kind of gets me a little bit annoyed with
Speaker 1: Cowboy fans is there aren't ten percent of Cowboy fans
Speaker 1: that I've seen five Jets games or more in the
Speaker 1: last three yearstance he's been in the league. They just
Speaker 1: aren't that people aren't watching Jets games. So when people say, oh,
Speaker 1: he's a great leader and he would be a great
Speaker 1: leader for this locker room, you have no clue what
Speaker 1: type of leader he is. You're only going off the
Speaker 1: here say that you hear other people say, and you
Speaker 1: don't know if his leadership skills will fit in this
Speaker 1: locker room. I get so irritated when people just think
Speaker 1: you can just plug and play players all over the place.
Speaker 1: There is a level of things that have to happen, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, does he fit here schematically? Will he be
Speaker 1: a good fit in the locker room? Jamal Adams is
Speaker 1: a very equacious, a very outspoken kind of player. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that will go well in the locker room.
Speaker 1: You know, once he gets in front of the media here,
Speaker 1: like in New York, and I think even more here
Speaker 1: because of the team that he will be playing for,
Speaker 1: everything he's say will be magnified to the hundredth degree.
Speaker 1: And if he starts calling guys out and saying different things,
Speaker 1: how will that fair in the locker room. You don't
Speaker 1: know that his leadership style will fit in this locker
Speaker 1: room these players. And you know, my biggest thing is
Speaker 1: is that what does he bring in the sense of, yeah,
Speaker 1: he could play in the box. I don't need another
Speaker 1: box safety. I don't need a box safety. I need
Speaker 1: a center fielder. I need a guy who's going to
Speaker 1: be able to create some turnovers. And in the last
Speaker 1: three years since Jamal Adams has been in the National
Speaker 1: Football League, he has two let me count them for you,
Speaker 1: two interceptions. So I don't know where all of the
Speaker 1: you know, he could be a game changer. Listen when
Speaker 1: teams I know that he has about twelve or fourteen
Speaker 1: sacks already. Here's what I know a little bit about football.
Speaker 1: I don't know much. I know a little bit about
Speaker 1: a little bit. When your safety has to come down
Speaker 1: in the box and play in the box, and when
Speaker 1: your safety has to be used on a consistent basis
Speaker 1: to bring pressure or get pressure to the quarterback, that
Speaker 1: tells me one thing. Your defensive line and your linebackers
Speaker 1: are trash. Your defensive front is trash. When you have
Speaker 1: to consistently bring pressure from the outside, from the third level,
Speaker 1: from safeties, from corners. It's one thing when you bring
Speaker 1: it every now and again, but when that's a consistent
Speaker 1: part of what you do defensively, that tells me that
Speaker 1: you can't create pressure with the guys that you already
Speaker 1: have a front. So you have to bring a Jamal
Speaker 1: Adams into the box and you have to blitz more
Speaker 1: because the guys up front are trash. So you know,
Speaker 1: when we get into the whole Jamal Adams conversation, I
Speaker 1: think he's a really good player. I think he's a
Speaker 1: great player, whatever you want to call it. But I
Speaker 1: just don't know. People just want to just think. And
Speaker 1: this is another thing that the Cowboys fan base. They
Speaker 1: want Pro Bowls at every level, They want Pro Bowls
Speaker 1: at corner. They want Pro Bowls at safety. They want
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls at line. They want Pro Bowls at defensive tackle.
Speaker 1: They want Pro Bowls the defensive end. They want all
Speaker 1: polls at left tackle, they want all polls at right tackle.
Speaker 1: They want the pro all posts, and they want to
Speaker 1: all pro quarterbacks, and they want all pull running back
Speaker 1: and they went all pro receivers, and they want to
Speaker 1: haul of Fame, Tina like, they want everything to be
Speaker 1: all pro and above at every position. And you just
Speaker 1: can't have it that way, man, Just okay, So we
Speaker 1: trash the Jets. Man his hometown, his hometown team up there, Jersey.
Speaker 1: Just when I started, when I started, when I started
Speaker 1: shooting me slugs, man, anybody can get hit now, anybody
Speaker 1: can get hit. Man. You're using a shotgun with nails
Speaker 1: and tax and everything. Just duck, Kurt. Kurt gave me
Speaker 1: an interesting stat. The Cowboys only blitz twenty three percent
Speaker 1: of the time last year, which ranked him twenty six
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Last time that Mike Nolan was a
Speaker 1: decordinator in Atlanta, he blitzed thirty seven point nine percent,
Speaker 1: one of the highest in the league. Do you think
Speaker 1: we'll see that here? We've seen success in the past
Speaker 1: with Jalen blitz and we've seen success with Anthony Brown Blitzen,
Speaker 1: you know, George Lewis a little bit back when Orlando
Speaker 1: was here. You know, they've seen success with the Blitz.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of fans don't think they blitz enough.
Speaker 1: What do you think we'll see the might know blitzing
Speaker 1: more or not. Well, we'll we'll see what Jesse said,
Speaker 1: Let's see what upfront brings, you know, in the first
Speaker 1: three or four games, Let's see what they can do upfront.
Speaker 1: You what most teams are gonna do is bring five.
Speaker 1: They want to always be in a position to bring five.
Speaker 1: Now it's rare when you like San Francisco are ravels
Speaker 1: where you can get four and get constant pressure. But
Speaker 1: the deal is to bring five. Who that fifth guy
Speaker 1: is key? You don't want that to be safety. I'm
Speaker 1: with you on that, jam you and what that always
Speaker 1: be safety? But if Jay Lien can bring some consistency,
Speaker 1: uh from from that outside position, and maybe they may
Speaker 1: let him be outside line by com maybe they have
Speaker 1: in the three four concept that maybe where they'll use
Speaker 1: them a little bit more and along with the other
Speaker 1: kid that they brought in Bradley, and so here we go.
Speaker 1: That's just way because we don't know what the scheme
Speaker 1: is gonna be and how they're gonna play until we
Speaker 1: see them practice and play. So when you're blitzing, now,
Speaker 1: I'm asking a dumb football question here. When you're blitzing,
Speaker 1: are you relying more heavily on your secondary to make
Speaker 1: sure they've got it people cover? And if you're doing so,
Speaker 1: do the Cowboys have the personnel two blitz more? I
Speaker 1: don't know. You're relying on the guys to get home.
Speaker 1: That's what you want, You're that's what you're relying when
Speaker 1: you bring pressure, You're relying on the guys to get home,
Speaker 1: because if they don't get home, you're screwed. Like you're
Speaker 1: screwed like because when you bring pressure, nine times out
Speaker 1: of ten, if the ball is completed, it's probably gonna
Speaker 1: be complete for a first down or a big play,
Speaker 1: because you know that's just how it's designed. You're you're
Speaker 1: you're banking on when I bring pressure getting home. You're
Speaker 1: not banking on you know, a past being covered. You
Speaker 1: know completely. I want to I want when I bring pressure,
Speaker 1: it's till that I can either get home or or
Speaker 1: speed up the process to an uncomfortable rate for the quarterback.
Speaker 1: If he's going to take a five step drop, I
Speaker 1: don't I don't want him to be able to get
Speaker 1: to a five step drop, set a foot, set a
Speaker 1: footing the ground, and then release the ball. I'm expecting
Speaker 1: that pressure to disrupt the timing of whatever it is
Speaker 1: they had going on. The first option is get home.
Speaker 1: We're sending pressure because we want you to get home
Speaker 1: and get to the quarterback, whether that be a sack,
Speaker 1: whether that be you know, an arrant throw, whatever it
Speaker 1: may be. On the back end, you're just saying, I
Speaker 1: just need to hold up long enough. I need to
Speaker 1: hold up long enough that they get home. That's what
Speaker 1: you're You're you're reliant upon that blitz getting home and
Speaker 1: getting that operation, that time of operation that they normally
Speaker 1: go through to be interrupted, to be disrupted, and that
Speaker 1: something goes wrong, whether it's a sack, an errand throw,
Speaker 1: and then if it's an errand throw, be there on
Speaker 1: the back end to to you know, to intercept it
Speaker 1: or what have you. Your your first thoughts as a
Speaker 1: cornerback safety whever that cover guy may be a diamond linebacker,
Speaker 1: is I can't miss on my first whatever reaction my jams, yeah,
Speaker 1: because if you miss, it's over. Yeah, So you can't
Speaker 1: miss on that. If he's like, I'm jamming this guy,
Speaker 1: do not miss. Do not miss. If you're gonna play
Speaker 1: off on this guy and come up and jump the rock,
Speaker 1: do not miss because if you miss, normally you got
Speaker 1: with Minnesota guy. There's a guy looking around and who
Speaker 1: had a great year only to be dogbut it the
Speaker 1: rest of the year, all right. Last question to close
Speaker 1: out the show, non football related. This is our quarantine
Speaker 1: question for the week. What is the longest you have
Speaker 1: gone without taking a bath or a shower since you've
Speaker 1: been in quarantine. I will go first. I have reached
Speaker 1: three days. It's been my math, Kurt, no wonder your
Speaker 1: wife wants you to go to the exactly you smell
Speaker 1: like the ball, you know. I can't go a full day.
Speaker 1: I've gone most of the day, you know, and maybe
Speaker 1: before bed popping the shower, but I can't go more
Speaker 1: than really, Yeah, I just I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1: But if if it most it might be it, and
Speaker 1: most it might be a day and a half. But
Speaker 1: I can't. I gotta get in there. And get cleaned up. Sorry, Jesse,
Speaker 1: you probably take two or three showers a day with
Speaker 1: you're cleaning in this well, and then I've really been
Speaker 1: hitting my workouts really hard, so running and get my
Speaker 1: garage workouts in. So I mean, if it happens, maybe
Speaker 1: a day, maybe like that Saturday to Sunday type deal,
Speaker 1: because I kind of my rest days in between there.
Speaker 1: But nothing more than that. I'm in the shower. I'm
Speaker 1: in the shower constantly, all right, too fat, too fat,
