20
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: lot to do. Love hearing that from my boss. Yeah,

21
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: like nobody's told me anything. So that's great. I know

22
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: we're getting past We're getting past COVID for the most part. Yeah. Still, yeah,

23
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: it's still like obviously this is happening. It's like, yeah,

24
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: well obviously unless unless something changes with regard to COVID.

25
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: Looks like we might be back onto some normal things.

26
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: I know, I had a conversation about us having our

27
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: normal spot at training camp. We don't have to be

28
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: secluded in some trailer like we were last year, and

29
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: so that's a that's a step in the right direction.

30
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: I'm excited. It's just kind of funny to me, just

31
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: because yesterday I had this conversation with you in a

32
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: meeting about a training camp. You're like, well, I don't

33
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: know anything. We don't know yet, it's too early. And

34
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: then he come on the air and you're like, well,

35
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: it looks like it's going to be back to normal.

36
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: It's like like we're talking about training they're having thing

37
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: to do with the number of people that are going

38
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: just has everything to do with we're gonna be there,

39
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: we will be there. Cool. Well, either way, we've started

40
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: seeing that here already. You know, we got access back

41
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: to normal. You got open locker room, you go in there,

42
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: that hasn't happened in what three years? Years? Yes, it

43
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: feels like, yeah, that was cool. I mean I was

44
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: in locker room the other day this weekend, and I

45
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: was kind of surprised that, you know, the guy would

46
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: stand at his locker and there would be a lot

47
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: of people around it and there's nobody had on masks,

48
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: knowing that you know, well not not most people. Yeah,

49
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: most people do not never sound but for the most part. Now, yeah, Well,

50
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: speaking of which, let's talk a little bit about the

51
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: rookie minicamp. There were quite a few media people out

52
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: here covering the Cowboys this weekend. Let's start first with

53
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: just some general observations, because I know, sometimes when you

54
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: see guys on draft day or when you've watched the

55
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: film on them, you kind of have an opinion of them,

56
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: and then you see them in person and you get

57
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: a different opinion, whether that be just in their physical

58
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: appearance or whether that be you know, seeing them run

59
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: around a little bit. Let's start first, Let's go around

60
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: the table. Just give me one general observation of a

61
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: guy you noticed that something stood out to you about him.

62
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: Let's start with you, Nick, Well, I'm probably not a

63
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: good person to start with here, because I don't it's

64
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: so hard to evaluate this. We know this. So when

65
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: we were able to, we were writing something on the

66
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: side about picked two guys. I picked two guys and

67
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: had nothing to do with him on the field. One

68
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: of them doesn't even practice, Damon Clark. But I really

69
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: love what I saw from him as far as being

70
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: engaged and not like he's not practicing, but he isn't

71
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: doing as much as you possibly could do. He's standing

72
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: behind there, he's looking and he's looking what the linebackers do.

73
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: He's still taking the same steps he's trying to he's

74
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: like inching to get back at there. For when it

75
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: sounds like Britt Brown, there's obviously the director of rehabit

76
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: and on the medical side, he likes himself. I mean

77
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: he likes him. He's like this kid, you know, and

78
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: that's kind of hard to do for him, you know.

79
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: But he's coming, he's ready to go. And I think

80
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: whenever he does get get get back, I think he's

81
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: gonna be like he's taking these mental reps. It's good. Yeah.

82
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: One of the things that I noticed just in for

83
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: the most part in general, just their physique, physique, you know,

84
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: the the body type that some of these guys they

85
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: showed up here like with some good amount of muscles,

86
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: and we see the difference between rookies and like year

87
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,559
Speaker 1: to the kind of like the changes that their body

88
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: go through. But like you talk about Tyler Smith, like

89
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: he like he's a big guy and like his arm

90
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: is huge and long, and it's like it's impressive like

91
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: to me, because I feel like not every year with

92
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: every rookies that come in that they look that way,

93
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: that it just looks like they have more built to them.

94
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: A guy that I really liked a lot. I didn't

95
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: get to see him much on the field, but off

96
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: the field is the receiver, he told her. He he

97
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: I am a fan. He's such a cool dude. He's

98
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: very very nice. I loved him. I'm rooting for him

99
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: all already. As soon as you get someone with such

100
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: a good personality and just a good vibe, you instantly

101
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: become a fan. So I'm looking forward to what he

102
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: can do and then real quick another guy I did

103
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: not get to meet him in person, but Nick did

104
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: us a favors for for some almost cowboys. He got

105
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: an interview, UM got him to speak, but currently he

106
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: is the only kicker on the team, and that's Umbai

107
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: Jonathan gart I Bay okay, Jonathan gay No. But he's

108
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: a Mexican descent, so obviously we're gonna be putting a

109
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: lot of stuff out the summost part, but just just

110
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: really cool to see. I haven't seen him kicking and stuff,

111
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: and that surprises me that he's currently the only kicker

112
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: on the team. And the fact that they cut how

113
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: do you say his last name, nick, I'm scared to

114
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: say the last name, Nagar. Yes, they cut him, so

115
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: that was kind of I don't know, it just caught

116
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: me off guard. I didn't expect that to happen. I'm

117
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: sure why exactly that happened. Say his name for me again,

118
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: Gubb got by Gotti bay okay, but you can say

119
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: it in English too, garbay I preferred like it was No,

120
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: that's not it. It was a clerical move to fit

121
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: somebody else on the roster, like they in all likelihood

122
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: will bring Nagara back or somebody else, like they're they're

123
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: not just going to handle the kicker job to Jonathan

124
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: um so, but he has a shot to absolutely. I

125
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: mean I would call him a favorite right now, but

126
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: like there will be another kicker at camp, even if

127
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: he's not here right now. Um, I agree with what

128
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: you said at the top A G I was, I

129
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: feel dumb for how impressed I was by Tyler Smith

130
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: because like he played left tackle at a high level

131
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: in major college football, Like you have to be an

132
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: athlete to do that. But I was pretty impressed by

133
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: his athleticism, Like he hasn't played guards since he was

134
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: in high school. He didn't really play tackle at all,

135
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: Like he spent all of rookie camp at a new

136
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: position and yeah he and again like I hope people understand,

137
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: like this isn't even like a training camp practice, like

138
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: the rosters limited, You've only got like ten offensive linemen

139
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: like you in a lot of spots. You don't even

140
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: have enough players to have a real practice. Like good

141
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: luck evaluating the quarterbacks and receivers at those practices, because

142
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: it was it was tough to watch, like two quarterbacks

143
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: who weren't even signed, like they were tryout guys windy conditions.

144
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: Just I learned nothing about actual football, But watching Tyler Smith,

145
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, this guy's a lot more graceful

146
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: of an athlete than I gave him credit for. Because

147
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: you hear like six five three twenty five and you're like,

148
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: he's kind of a big, sloppy guy. Not really like

149
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: he carries his weight really well for a guy that size,

150
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: like he he looks about as fit as you could

151
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: expect the guy that size to look with maybe the

152
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: exception of Tyrn Smith, who's an alien. And I just

153
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: I thought he moved around really well. I thought he

154
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: looked natural. I thought, yeah, I was. I was impressed

155
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: by just the little that I saw from him, you know,

156
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: think to put it all in perspective. I heard this today.

157
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: This was a conversation that happened between scouts at the practice,

158
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: literally at practice a practice the other day. You know, yeah,

159
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: this this conversation happened, and so real quick, I'll just

160
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,679
Speaker 1: ask you, Dave, how do you think the quarterbacks looked? Bad? Okay, cool,

161
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: so so real bad? So I was gonna. I was sorry.

162
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: I was standing next to dry But anyways, they had,

163
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: you know those little things that they put up with

164
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: the holes where they throw the balls. Everything was amiss.

165
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: I not once did see the ball going through the hole.

166
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: But sorry to that does mess up the point actually,

167
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: but but the point was in this particular conversation. I

168
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: think it was Tolbert or I don't know, one of

169
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: the one of the receivers, but they're they're watching him

170
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: and he's on the outside. You know, he's split out wide.

171
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: He runs ten yards hard cut to the outside, boom,

172
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: goes to the sideline, and everyone's like, man, that was

173
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: that was nice? Well he looks looks smooth in his

174
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: cut on that ball comes thrown right behind, way behind him,

175
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: and you know, terrible throw. Probably day. Everybody's like this

176
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: guy sucks or whatever, and so these scouts are like, yeah,

177
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: that was that was That was a good cut there

178
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: by the receiver. Bad throw. And then other scout that

179
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 1: kind of knows the plays a little bit was like, yeah,

180
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: you ran in the wrong route. You read in the

181
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: wrong route. It's supposed to be a stop. It's supposed

182
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: to be a ten yards stopped turn around. The ball

183
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: probably would have been there, would have been nice, and

184
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: we might have been like, hey, that's nice throw. Whatever.

185
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: But like the point to all that is is you

186
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: don't know what they're doing out there. They might look

187
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: like they're going they're going the right way, but they're not.

188
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: So it's hard to evaluate anybody because of the rookies.

189
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: Not only are going up against other rookies, but they

190
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: don't know anything. None of them know anything. Yeah, the

191
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: quarterbacks did look bad, but yeah, but no, but like

192
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of everything. Yeah, like these guys

193
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: have never practiced together. I'm sure not all the receivers

194
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: knew what they were doing. Like literally, I was mainly

195
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: I spent most of the two days looking at Tyler

196
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: Smith and Matt will Let's go, because they were playing

197
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: left guard and left tackle, and I was like, okay, well,

198
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: at the very least I can s get an idea

199
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: for how these guys move and how they communicate with

200
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: each other, because everything else is just a free for

201
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: all of bad throws, bad routes. The wind was really

202
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: bad on Friday, to the point that it was like

203
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: carrying balls out of bounds that were Yeah, it just

204
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: everything about it was and everybody, you know, everybody gets

205
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: all excited, and I get it because it's the first

206
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: time we've been able to watch something resembling practice. But

207
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: it's not that you know, so you mentioned will LESCo.

208
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: Tell me what you guys saw from from him? I mean,

209
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: obviously both he and Tyler Smith were work in there

210
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: at guard and tackle, what do you see there saw

211
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: nothing on the other side of him. I mean he

212
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: blocks everything, like as far as like just he's six eight,

213
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: he's he's absolutely massive. So there's no like there will

214
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: all be any of this, Like who is that wilesco

215
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: Of course it's here because he's the one that like

216
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: urban like you just noticed him among the crowd of giants.

217
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: He's the giant and the giants. Yeah, but you know,

218
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: I think so he's got that and you knew that

219
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: just by looking at the paper and looking at the size.

220
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: But like I think, you know, from a feat standpoint,

221
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he seems like he moves pretty pretty well

222
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: for a guy that's carrying that much size. Yeah. Again,

223
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say that one didn't surprise me because

224
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: we saw all the stuff about his athletic testing and

225
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: how he's one of the most athletic tackles to test

226
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: in the last thirty years. But he looks like, yeah,

227
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: like he moves really well. Again, when I hear six

228
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: eight offensive tackle, I'm like, okay, Like if you remember

229
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: our good buddy Dan Skipper love Dan, but like this

230
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: big dude, or you're like Oh he's huge, and you're like,

231
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: you got the size, but it's it's tough for you

232
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: to kick out there and get get in the way

233
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: of some of these guys. But I thought, I thought, well,

234
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: let's go moved really gracefully for a guy who's six eight.

235
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: Not to again not to say like he was perfect.

236
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: I think Sam Williams beat him a few times. I thought.

237
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: Another big takeaway I had was like Mike McCarthy was

238
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: he said himself, He was like, yeah, Sam Williams like

239
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: he got cleaning in the backfield like two or three times.

240
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: It's just a weird thing to hear a coach say,

241
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: because that's the type of stuff we say, you know, like,

242
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: oh he he won that rep. He beat him on

243
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: that rep. Like coaches don't usually get into that publicly,

244
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: but McCarthy, especially at this day, Yeah you're talking about

245
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: McCarthy was like, yeah, he got cleaning in the backfield

246
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: like two or three times on Friday. Yeah. This this

247
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 1: this draft class is going to be defined by two things.

248
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: Ken Tyler Smith, you know, like be a great starter somewhere,

249
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: whether it be the guard or tackle. You know, if

250
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: he's going to be that. And Ken Sam Williams. Just

251
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: just stay on the field and don't don't get in trouble,

252
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: don't you know, just just mature a little bit. And

253
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: I think he knows that and everyone knows that because

254
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: I think athletically he's got it. You could just tell

255
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: by some of the drills, by some of those things.

256
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: He's got it. And he always had. He had it

257
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: at Old Miss. It was just some of the other

258
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: things that dropped him to the second round. But if

259
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: he can, they can figure that out for him. So

260
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: I guess we're calling him Sam. Now we're not calling him.

261
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: He's gone himself Sam, which is yeah, okay, so back

262
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: to Sam. I'm all over no no, no, no, no,

263
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: hi No, that is a him thing. Okay. He said

264
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: call me D And then I think he was like, Oh,

265
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: it's weird that a bunch of strangers I've never met,

266
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 1: or calling me by a name that my that's reserved

267
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: for like my people, which I totally get. Like, you know,

268
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 1: if somebody like if if you call me like by

269
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: a cute nickname and I don't know you like that,

270
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh yeah, right, tiny tiny gym or that

271
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: that became the people's name for you. I was gonna

272
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: tiny gym. I didn't really have a choice. But like,

273
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 1: you know, if you call me like Davy and you're

274
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: not my mom or my girlfriend, like, don't call me Davy. Yeah.

275
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: Uh so yeah, I feel right. Yeah, it's like me

276
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 1: calling Nick Nikki like that just doesn't work. Yeah, I

277
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: hate that, but uh so, yeah, I think I call

278
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: you that what I want to. I think Sam was

279
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: like someone else in our group named Nikki called this confusion. Okay,

280
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: that's is that the reason why we're gonna get away

281
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: from them? So yeah, he said, you can call me Sam.

282
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: We've we've we've talked about him, We've talked about Tobered

283
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: a little bit. One guy we haven't talked about that.

284
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to get some initial impressions on was tight

285
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: end Jake Ferguson. What'd you guys see there anything interesting

286
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: on the field off the field. I just think he

287
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: needs to start coming up on him today. Yeah, Rob

288
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: And basically you know him being number forty eight and

289
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: Daryl Johnston was a was a great blocker, you know,

290
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: a fullback, and that's what that's one of the things

291
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: that they want to see if this guy can do

292
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: that's why they drafted him, and I think, I gotta

293
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: go read the story. But apparently it's been it's been

294
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: pressed upon him that number forty eight means you better block,

295
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: and I think, well, somebody was like, okay, don't mess

296
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: it up. Don't mess up the number. I don't remember

297
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: what it was. If I was Jake Ferguson, I'd be like, okay, cool,

298
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: Like I'm not going to be forty eight when the

299
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: rosters cut down anyway, Like I'll wear it until September first.

300
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: But who in their right mind wants to be forty

301
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: eight if they're not a fullback, Like I'm moving into

302
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: eighty the minute it becomes available or whatever. Anyway. Two,

303
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. I just uh, he's coming

304
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: from Wisconsin. I think he's definitely he has the know

305
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: how in the willingness to do it. That's not what

306
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But honestly, my main impression, like a lot

307
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: of tight ends coming out of college, I'm like, you

308
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: need some protein shakes and some time in the weight room, buddy.

309
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: I just it is what it is. He's like two

310
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: forty five to forty eight something like that. It's just

311
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: like I said, I'm not questioning his ability, but like

312
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: that's something with rookies, especially at those types of positions,

313
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: where it's like you will look he will look like

314
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: a different player this time next year. I'm sure. I mean,

315
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: what tight end has ever come in his first year

316
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: and it's been like this guy's stud It's really it's

317
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: really tough to do, especially the Cowboys haven't drafted a

318
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: first round tight end since I don't know David la Fleur.

319
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: I mean, and he even you know he did, he

320
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: wasn't that that great. Obviously got hurt, but like Witten

321
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: took some time. Schultz, I mean we said it on

322
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: this show. We didn't think he would be on the team. Yeah,

323
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: we were all like Jarwin needed a lot of development.

324
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: If you're good enough to come in and ball as

325
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: a tight end immediately, you're usually a top twenty pick. Yeah,

326
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure there's an outlier somewhere, but we've

327
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: talked about it before. Even Travis Kelson needed a year

328
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: where he really didn't do anything for the Chiefs as

329
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: a rookie, which is even more remarkable how good Kyle

330
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: Pitts was this year, which is just how good he is. TJ.

331
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: Hockinson Kyle Pitts, Like those guys go high, and Kyle

332
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: Pitts wasn't drafted for his blocking ability. That's the thing.

333
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: You're you're asking more of a guy when you're looking

334
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: for that person to be able to help block in

335
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: the game, Like you need those muscles and strength, Like

336
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: you can't be just trying to run escape catch a ball.

337
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: Like now you're looking for someone ask the power to

338
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: push guys around and hold them down. So that's gonna

339
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: be I don't. I mean, we'll see if that happens

340
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: this year, but it's gonna be a challenge. I still

341
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: think Sprinkle is gonna have, you know, a chance to

342
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: stick around because Buddy's really doing what he does just

343
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: I mean, and it's not great. I mean, he's they're

344
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: trying to get better than from that, but you still

345
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: need a true blocking tight end. Yeah, I'm sprinkling throw

346
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: Sean mcun in there too, because he's a similar player

347
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 1: to Ferguson, but he's this will be his third NFL season.

348
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: You just you have an advantage of a knowing what

349
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: you're doing and being he has spent that time in

350
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: the program. So yeah, I'll be curious because like the

351
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: ideal scenario is that Ferguson is good enough to grab

352
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: the backup job right away. But that's a lot easier

353
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: said than done. And if Tyler Smith is the guard,

354
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: which sounds like you will be. And I know this

355
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: isn't a great plan, but like winn in doubt, I mean,

356
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: Connor McGovern can still provide some jumbo packages for them.

357
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: They can still do that. I actually liked when they

358
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: did that last Yeah, I thought he's pretty good in

359
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 1: that kind of role. I like it too. I just

360
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,719
Speaker 1: think that it obviously, I mean, there's not a lot

361
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: of versatility out of it because it's not like you know,

362
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: like this tight end's gonna go out for a pass

363
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: or you know. So that's but you should be able

364
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: to just line up and run the ball and say

365
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 1: stop us. That's that's what you that's what you hope

366
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: you can get back to. You tell me, you tell me,

367
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: you give me a stronger guard, and I put McGovern

368
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: and let's say I line them up in the backfield

369
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: as they were doing a lot last year in those

370
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: in those goal line type packages, short yards type packages.

371
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,239
Speaker 1: I feel really good about that. I'll run behind that.

372
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 1: Give me, give me you should be able to pick

373
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: up third and one in that kind of scenario, I

374
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: would I would like to think so, man, Yeah, you

375
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: would think so, right. Teen million dollars running back running

376
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: behind a three hundred pound and fullback and three hundred

377
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: and thirty pound guard, you would think you right. And

378
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: if you can't, we got some bigger problems here. Real quick,

379
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: before we go to break, I do want to talk

380
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: about undrafted free agents. I read the other day someone

381
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: was saying that this might be one of the better

382
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: undrafted free agent classes the Cowboys have had in a while.

383
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: Give me just one guy, one guy that you guys

384
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: think may have stood out, or that at least you're

385
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: keeping your eye on as an undrafted free agent type player.

386
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: If you don't go first, you could be. But let

387
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 1: you go first. No, go first? No, I got a few,

388
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: got it. I'm a dork. That's curious. I'm curious who

389
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: said that. Honestly, I haven't really heard that. I don't

390
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: know who was. I can't remember where I read it.

391
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: I read it somewhere, it was an article somewhere. I mean, well,

392
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: you know, obviously it's a it goes into the will

393
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: see category. But every time I looked up, yes, the

394
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: other day watching stuff and stuff that I just caught

395
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 1: my eye. It was forty one that that was the

396
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: guy Marquis Bell, and that's the guy the Cowboys gave

397
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: the most money too, Safety Safety, Florida, A and M.

398
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: And you know, I am again. It was it was

399
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,719
Speaker 1: just you know, just T shirts and shorts out there.

400
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: But I thought he did all right. He's long and

401
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: they gave him. They gave him a two hundred thousand

402
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: dollars contract. And I don't I think his guarant has

403
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: an undrafted Wow, we got ten and I know it's

404
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: eighteen nineteen years ago, but right, I mean that's impressive.

405
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: I don't that's not all guaranteed like the guarant but

406
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: the guarantee was still still substantial. Like I'll bet you

407
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: twenty bucks right now he's on the practice squad if

408
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't make the fifty three, like cutting him. Yeah,

409
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: I cut into getting I don't know, he's not playing

410
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: that game again. Dave. Dave says it. Dave's right, says

411
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: it all time. Everybody's got one of those. We no,

412
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: we always say there's no way you get him in

413
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: the practice squad. And not only does he does he

414
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: get cut and not claim But then the Cowboys don't

415
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: even keep him. I don't think they've ever lost a

416
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: guy that we were stressed about them losing time that

417
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: I know, Danny Amon Doola, like I know, it's happened,

418
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: but in my time, years ago too, in my time,

419
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: I don't remember it happening. Dola made back to the

420
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 1: practice squad. He oh, he signed elsewhere later right all

421
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: year and then the Eagles thought that when they made

422
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs and the Cowboys didn't, that they could sign

423
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: him and put him on the playoffs. That didn't really

424
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: work that way, but either way, he never came back

425
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: to the cow Yeah. I think safety Bell was the one.

426
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: I remember. He actually played the first game against Houston

427
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: with us. Do you remember the opener? Remember talking another

428
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: safety name Bell, Jason Bell? Jason was he was a

429
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: special teams guy. Did he go? He ended up playing

430
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: for Houston, right, yeah, a first game and he had

431
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: like a big special teams and he actually played against

432
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: his first game just killed us. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember,

433
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 1: that's all. I think Bell is the right answer. Um,

434
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 1: I get gheta By shouldn't even count because he's a

435
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: kicker like he I mean, of course he's going to

436
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: have it, because I mean, I know it's my job.

437
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: But unfortunately, all my attention did go to the kicker,

438
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: and just because of his background, So the kickers. The

439
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: kickers probably the right answer, because he's the only guy

440
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: on this list that has a chance to start at

441
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: his position. But um, these centers, Yeah, the centers are

442
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: really interesting. Again, like the Cowboys just refused to believe

443
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: that that they need another one for whatever reason. I

444
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: don't know. Farniac's working at it, that's what we keep hearing.

445
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: But I mean, Alec Lendstrom was widely seen. I saw

446
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: grades varying on him from fourth to sixth round. I mean,

447
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: it's a guy that a lot of people expected to

448
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: get drafted coming out of what's Boston College. And then

449
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: I don't know as as much about James MP from BYU.

450
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: He's also a center. But like, probably the best two

451
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: centers that didn't get drafted are both here right now,

452
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: So if one of them has a good camp, that

453
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense. And then I was impressed,

454
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 1: isn't the right word, But like I just noticed a

455
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: couple of the corners, Isaac Taylor Stewart out of Southern

456
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: cow and Quandre Mosley out of Kentucky. They're just they're

457
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: dan Quinn DB's. Like they've got thirty three thirty four

458
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: inch arms something like that, and like you could just

459
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: see them. They were poking at balls that a shorter

460
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 1: guy wouldn't have been able to get to. And I

461
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, that you look like dbs that dan

462
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: Quinn would want to keep around and develop. And so

463
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: maybe that means practice squad. But those are two guys

464
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: that I noticed. Maybe I'm dyslexic. But also forty one

465
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: and number fourteen UM stood out a lot from Indiana

466
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: receiver Hi Fry Focal. He seemed to catch a lot

467
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: of passes UM in the Saturday practice. So again, yeah, receivers.

468
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 1: Receivers are good names to know because they're only James

469
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: not gonna have a ton of them at training camp

470
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: with this current makeup of the roster. Yeah, who else

471
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: stood out? He's not a rookie? Is that t J.

472
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: Vasher from Texas Tech last year? He was on the

473
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,479
Speaker 1: injured reserve all last year. He's like six six, and

474
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: I mean he's just he's that big. I didn't realize

475
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: he was that he's enormous. He's huge, and he probably

476
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: weighs less than me despite being a foot taller than me,

477
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: which he can working on, Like he could probably dunk

478
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 1: on a twelve foot goal. He could probably would. He

479
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: could probably dunk on a twelve foot goal. He could

480
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: probably go clean your shot clock for you if you

481
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: if you needed that. I mean he can jump that.

482
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: That's the skill set the place for some places dy

483
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: like that right well. And I mean if you haven't

484
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: seen the highlight catch that he made against Old miss

485
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: in I don't know what year, that was probably nineteen eighteen.

486
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: I mean, ridiculous catch was the number he actually he

487
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: said the other day he lost in the SP for

488
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: that best play of the year to the Miami Patriots

489
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: game where they were throwing the ball back and the

490
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: hail Mary lateral play. Yeah, and they beat Gonk at

491
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: the end zone. That one the SP for best play

492
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 1: like runner up. He was nominated t J Basher one

493
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: handed catch. All I'm saying is is that he does

494
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: bring a skill set they don't haven't received, or somebody

495
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: that can just go up and elevatet size. They don't

496
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: size that kind of size he's but he's got to

497
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: learn how to how to play. He's be around. He

498
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: hasn't practiced too. I mean when you're on ir all,

499
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: you're you don't practice. So he has been been here,

500
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: he just hasn't. He's another guy that's like he's always

501
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: in the building. He's always here. Um Like I said that,

502
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: I mean I would be scared for him if he

503
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: got hit over the middle by an NFL safety like

504
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: he I mean he is rail thin. So but yeah,

505
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 1: he's He's very intriguing to watch just because it's a

506
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: rare skill set. Yeah, and he jumped over a tackle.

507
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 1: Dum me remember that? Yes, he did jump. Yeah. Oh

508
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: just wait till training. Can we have something We don't

509
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 1: have something? Oh, we have something that works for that.

510
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: So anytime you're watching Mickey Spagnola on the on the mic,

511
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: just be ready because he might just come and jump

512
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: over him. Oh yeah, is that what we're doing we're

513
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: talking about? It was funny, is that, Like Shannon, We

514
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: were talking about it, and Shannon was like, yeah, we

515
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: got to get Mickey to do that. You know, like

516
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna do that to Mickey. It's like he could

517
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: do that to you, we could do that to me.

518
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: They run this by legal and HR and everybody else.

519
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: I haven't run it by anybody yet, but let's have

520
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: that discussion on all think he's gonna touch anybody, Just

521
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 1: think he's just gonna he's just gonna hurdle people. All right,

524
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: things in this schedule. I'm interested to hear these guys

525
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,720

00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: the NFL was released that job on the video, Oh man,

578
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: the team. I gotta start with the social team because

579
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: they came up with a phenomenal idea and then people

580
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 1: like Ben Fallon and UH and Drew Ferguson and Connor

581
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: like all these guys that work in are that you

582
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,719
Speaker 1: guys that are listening right now probably have never heard of,

583
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: but they are the guys that are doing that are

584
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: creating a lot of the content you see across our channels.

585
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: They all did just a phenomenal job with this project.

586
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: And UH and I couldn't have been happier with the video.

587
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: It was really well done and I love the fact

588
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: that it kept true to stephen A and also kept

589
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: true to us right, So it was It was a

590
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: fun video. If you haven't seen it, you can go

591
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: check it out on any of our channels. But it

592
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: was fun video. It really one of the most creative

593
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: things that we've done. And I thought it was I

594
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: thought it was out standing. And whether you know, he's

595
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: nails on the chalkboard for a lot of people, you know,

596
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: just listening to him and whatever, But you know, I

597
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: have a little bit more respect for him for what

598
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: you know, able to do it, and you know, and

599
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: kind of poke fun at the whole situation, because you know,

600
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: if you don't know, it's definitely a bit. It reminds

601
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: me of something out of WrestleMania, for sure, but I

602
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: mean he's stuck to it. It was good. One of

603
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: the things I like about in sports in general is

604
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: when people can take a step back and have a

605
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: little fun with it, because I think we all have

606
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: a tendency sometimes to get a little too serious about sports,

607
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: but it is still sports. It still is entertainment. So

608
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: I kind of like when people can take a step

609
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: back have a little fun, even if they poke a

610
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: little fun at themselves. And I think that's a fun

611
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: thing that flip in the middle of the thing to

612
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,719
Speaker 1: go from like pretty good Dallas to New York. I

613
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: mean that was pretty good, pretty good, all right, Um,

614
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: So let's talk about the schedule least. I want to

615
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: go around the table and I want you guys used

616
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: to give me two things. One best thing about the schedule,

617
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: two worst thing about the schedule. Let's start with you, Dave.

618
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: The best thing about the best thing about the schedule.

619
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: Worst thing about schedule? Ah geez. I'm well, I'll start.

620
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: I'll start with, sorry, I didn't do that on purpose.

621
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: What is the best thing about the schedule? I'll start like,

622
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to make it sound like the NFL

623
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: screwed the Cowboys, because I think this is a manageable schedule.

624
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: But it's so much easier to look for the things

625
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: that look hard than the things that look manageable. Yeah, Nick,

626
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: I mean go ahead, if you got something. Yeah, I

627
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: mean the best thing about the schedule. Now, we'll see,

628
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: we'll see what it's like to get there. Um. But

629
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: you know, if you're not dying by Thanksgiving, then I

630
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: think it's time to roll. I mean, like, I mean,

631
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: Giants at home, Colts at home, Houston at home, at Jacksonville,

632
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: Philly at home. I mean, you gotta win those five games.

633
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: Yeah you could. I mean you probably won't go five

634
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: and no, that's not the way the NFL's works, but

635
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: you should. You should be able to go four and one,

636
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: five and oh regardless if what what things look like there,

637
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: that's a that's a really they should be favored in

638
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: every game from Thanksgiving on. I mean, as you can't

639
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: predict the future at Tennessee. But yeah, Indian Tennessee, you're

640
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: probably the two with it. You might not be favored,

641
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: but you know, Tennessee. We sorry, I'm I cut you

642
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: off twice. I'm sorry, but um, I mean for all

643
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: the talking we do about the Cowboys taking a step back,

644
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: Like the Titans are a lesser team than they were

645
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: last year. They have lost, they've lost a decent amount

646
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: of production, and Ryan Tannehill probably his worst season since

647
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: he got there last year. So I'm just saying, like,

648
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: I'm not convinced that that's a better team. You can't

649
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: count on Iman's saying with Cowboys anybody. But you can't

650
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: just say, oh, well they have Derrick Henry, well will

651
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: they on December twenty ninth, because I mean that's what

652
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: he does, is he runs the ball and runs the

653
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: ball hard, and you just can't count on. You just

654
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: don't know for sure that you'll have it. And I

655
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: guess that's that's probably why it's a wonderful point. Like

656
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: on paper here in May, they should be favored in

657
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: their last seven games, but like it's hard to even

658
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: formulate an opinion about Nomber in December NFL games. I mean,

659
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: how many times have we joked like, man in the spring,

660
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: this looked like a sexy matchup, and instead we're watching

661
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: Matt Castle go against whoever. The other teams trotting out

662
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: because their guy's hurt. So it's hard. But yeah, that's

663
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: I mean, the back end of the schedule looks very forgiving,

664
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: Like once you get done with that back to back

665
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: road trip to Green Bay in Minnesota, everything else after

666
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: that looks super manageable. It is interesting that they are

667
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: giving them two different short weeks. Instead of doing the

668
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: back to back thursdays they're playing, they're going Thursday or

669
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: Sunday to Thursday and then Saturday to Thursday. So two

670
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: different short weeks in the same month. Like that sounds

671
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: nerve wracking to me. Mike McCarthy, he sort of seemed

672
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: like he liked it. I don't maybe because they get

673
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: the Saturday games so they have a little extra time.

674
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. For me, the big thing is, like

675
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, people love to people love to talk about

676
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: like das record against playoff teams, and they're actually is

677
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: good when they play the good team as well. We

678
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: don't have to wait very long to find out because

679
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: I mean it's a good bet, especially that early in

680
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: the season. Good bet Tampa, Cincinnati in La are all

681
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: gonna have you know, they will be at full strength.

682
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: And that's three of the last four Super Bowl teams

683
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: that you have to play in the first six weeks

684
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: of the season. So pretty good, pretty good measuring stick

685
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: opportunity there right at the very beginning. Ye Amber, best thing.

686
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: Worst thing about schedule, I mean, I don't know if

687
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: best thing. I would say the most exciting thing for

688
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: me is exactly seeing how it starts out the season.

689
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: Those two teams to start back to bad. You're starting

690
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: with the bang, and like it's gonna say a lot

691
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: I say this, but we know how different it looks

692
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: like teams look from the beginning of the season to

693
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: the second half of the season. So it's tough, but

694
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be a big challenge. And I think

695
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: that if they just run right through them, Tampa Bay

696
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: and Inincinnati, it's gonna be what well they run through them.

697
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: I mean we'll be talking about a parade. I mean,

698
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: that's what happens. Literal, that's down. Get ready about the

699
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: opposing team, Oh, run through the cap. Hold on, I

700
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: got my I got a lot of we'll be starting off, Yeah,

701
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: that's that's my that's my concern because I don't know

702
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: how prepared they're gonna be for the beginning of the

703
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: season to start off against teams with that kind of

704
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: level and with so many questions that we currently have

705
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: so many young talents that the Cowboys are just completely

706
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: betting on. I mean, do you talk about all the

707
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: rookies and second year guys. That's gonna be hard to

708
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: start the season that way and not really allow them

709
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: to get more than just those preseason games, to be

710
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: playing an NFL level game with all the veteran guys together.

711
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 1: So it's just gonna be big challenge and the good

712
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: thing or like, I don't underestimate anybody. The only thing

713
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 1: that I'm like, oh, okay, that's kind of a break

714
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: are the Giants. That's the only team that every year

715
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna, like, you know, be nice to have

716
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,720
Speaker 1: if Blake Jarwin was here again, you know, he always

717
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 1: balls out in those kind of games again against the Giants.

718
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 1: But other than that, I am not saying anything else

719
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: about nobody manageable teams or not or whatever. I've seen

720
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: it happen. I buy into it. The Cowboys might win

721
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: a game and then they face off somebody else towards

722
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,919
Speaker 1: the end of the season, that they're at a high

723
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: level and that we see the reality of where the

724
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: Cowboys really are at that time. So I'm not falling

725
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,760
Speaker 1: for it this year. I'm just gonna let it happen,

726
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,720
Speaker 1: see how it starts out, and see what each team

727
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: can bring, because we've seen it, I think enough times

728
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,439
Speaker 1: now where the Cowboys can be the worst enemies, like

729
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: they themselves, make the mistakes and just go out and

730
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 1: perform at a level that they should against the team

731
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: that they should be. So we'll see. I hear a

732
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: lot of people saying the opponents can be manageable this season,

733
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: and Dave just kind of went through all of them.

734
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: But there's no telling. It's a it's a wonderful point.

735
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: I mean, all you can do. I mean I can

736
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: look at this schedule and I can talk myself into

737
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: The only teams that I can't really talk myself into

738
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: having a decent year are Chicago and Houston. I just

739
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: I don't I don't see a path to either of

740
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 1: those teams being very good. Everybody else you never know, man,

741
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 1: I've I've brought this up on Detroit's got the makings

742
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: of a pretty decent roster. Jacksonville they've done a ton

743
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 1: to help Trevor Lawrence. New York. I wouldn't bet on

744
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: New York being good, but maybe Daniel Jones finally puts

745
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: it together again. I wouldn't bet on that, but crazier

746
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: things have happened. That's I mean, I've made this point

747
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: a million times since the schedule came out of Like

748
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: if nobody, not even me, mister Lsu would have been

749
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: like Bengals, that's a tough one. That's the super Bowl

750
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: runner up. Yeah, Like this time last year you're like, Okay,

751
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 1: the Bengals are sort of getting right, but like that's

752
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: a game you should win. And now a year later

753
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: you're like, man, basically, what we how we look at

754
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,479
Speaker 1: Jacksonville at this point like they got some talent, but

755
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 1: maybe they haven't really been a problem for anybody. They

756
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: picked fifth in the draft last year. So yeah, I mean, Amber,

757
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: you're totally right. Totally, You're totally right, But that both

758
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 1: there's two sides to that, you know, and and and

759
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: you could make an argument that Tampa and Cincinnati, and

760
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: you know, at Green Bay. I think if Aaron Rodgers

761
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: is there and everything that goes into that, that's obviously

762
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: going to be a challenge. But you know, I love

763
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: it when people say, like, well, they'll probably start out

764
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,439
Speaker 1: oh and two. I'm like, I mean, I don't see

765
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: that at all. They could, but I think there'll be

766
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: a better chance that they start out two and oh

767
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: than they start out oh too. Really, why better chance?

768
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: Just listen to the statement there's a better chance that

769
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,280
Speaker 1: they start doing oh than oh and two? Why well,

770
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: I mean Vegas will tell you that because they'll be

771
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 1: favored in probably both games. They won't be Yeah, yeah,

772
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: I don't think they'll be favored in those games. You

773
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: don't think they'll be favored at home. They'll be favorite

774
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: at home against Cincinnati. Maybe I don't think they'll be

775
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: favorite at home against Tampa Bay. I don't know. I

776
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: don't know why they know. And here's nothing Tampa Bay.

777
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: I mean, the wheels were falling off at the end

778
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: of the year last year, and then he and then

779
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: he retires and then he comes back, and I'm sure

780
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,760
Speaker 1: that they'll be fine, But like they have their problem,

781
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,439
Speaker 1: they have their issues too. I mean they got shut

782
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: out and I nothing at home to the Saints, Like

783
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: at the end of the year. The end of the year,

784
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: they were struggling a little bit. They were beat to

785
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: hell too. I mean they lost a lot of players,

786
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,919
Speaker 1: like heading down that stretch just saying yeah, I mean,

787
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: and that's that's fine. I just I think be favored

788
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 1: in both those games. And Cincinnati did lose seven games

789
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 1: last year. So I mean they got, they got hot,

790
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,479
Speaker 1: they got they won these their defenses better than people

791
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: think their kicker. I mean, they made they won these

792
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: close games. You got to give them credit for that.

793
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't think that it's automatic that

794
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: they're world beaters. Now. Well, you know how I look

795
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: at it, or like how I feel with it is

796
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: last year, and I remember you're making the point like

797
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,760
Speaker 1: you feel that they would have won the game against

798
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 1: Tampa had they had Sack Martin in the game, they

799
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 1: would have had a better chance to finish off. And

800
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: they were very, very competitive, and that's how they started

801
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: out the season. Now it's more than a matter than

802
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: just missing missing a veteran guy like sak Martin. It's

803
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: like you got so many different pieces in the in

804
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: the roster in the offense, even on defense, Like it

805
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: just looks different now and you just don't have any

806
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: clue of how it's all gonna come together as one.

807
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: Is the passing game gonna be working out with the

808
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,479
Speaker 1: receivers that you've got, is the running game even gonna

809
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: get going with the old line that you're creating now.

810
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 1: So it went for me, it went from last year

811
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 1: maybe having a Mason piece to get you there to

812
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: beat a team like Tampa, to now having so many

813
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: unknowns to where yes, they could possibly go out there

814
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: impress all of us, But I don't. I just I

815
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 1: can't see them being favorites. I think they will be.

816
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they'll be the favorite in that game,

817
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: maybe if by one or two. But I mean because

818
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: just probably also have something to do with what happens

819
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: in week one, right for both those teams. Whatever happens

820
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 1: a week one, I'll probably effect what that line is

821
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: in week two. I just don't see him being I

822
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: don't I mean, I don't see him losing two home

823
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 1: games in a row like that, especially both of them,

824
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 1: well one of them at night. Yeah, I just I

825
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: don't know. It's it would be it's it's the Cowboys.

826
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 1: They'll start one and one. Yeah, figure out a way

827
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 1: to get one. Yeah. DraftKings actually has the odds out

828
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: if you guys want them. What are the odds for

829
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: those two games? Right? So, right now Tampa is favorite

830
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 1: by two and a half, and then the Cincinnati game

831
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 1: is actually a pick them. Okay, sounds about right. That

832
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: sounds about right. Yeah, that sounds about right. And then

833
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: whatever happened week happens week one will affect that line

834
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:11,879
Speaker 1: for week two. I would think so, I certainly think,

835
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: oh and two, it's possible. I would be Yeah, they'll

836
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: just they'll be one and one like they always are.

837
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: I mean that's why, you know, when you look at this,

838
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: there's there's about two or three games that are like

839
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 1: really really big swing games. You know at the Giants

840
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: is a big one because if they are probably going

841
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: to be one and one, you gotta go up there

842
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 1: and you gotta take care of business there. I see

843
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 1: that Minnesota game on November twentieth, you know, after Green

844
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: Bay you're about to go three straight home games and

845
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving and all that, Like that's a really big game,

846
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,760
Speaker 1: you know, just to kind of see where you stand

847
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: there so Minnesota Giants. I mean, there's others, but those

848
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 1: are the ones that I could see where this whole

849
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,399
Speaker 1: thing could kind of swing based off of them. Maybe

850
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 1: at Philly. That's the other thing. I mean, their track

851
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 1: record against the division with Dak speaks for itself. I mean,

852
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: I'll take that. I think you I still think, well,

853
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 1: that kind of goes with what I'm gonna say. I

854
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: still think they're probably the favorites to win the division,

855
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: but man, that gap looks a lot closer than it did. Like,

856
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: I mean, no, I don't think the world of Jalen Hurts,

857
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: but the Eagles have put a heck of a good

858
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: roster around him. Giants, I still don't. I don't believe

859
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: in Daniel Jones, so I don't think they're very good,

860
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: but they clearly have upgraded the talent on their team.

861
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: I don't trust Carson Wentz either, but like he had

862
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: it other than the meltdown in Jacksonville, he had a

863
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 1: pretty nice season for the Colts. Like he's capable. He's

864
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 1: capable of. I think he threre like twenty six touchdowns

865
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: and seven picks, Like he was fine. And if there's

866
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: a good team around him, like Washington should be good

867
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: enough to try to make some noise. Like again, I

868
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: still like Dallas's chances, but like they're not be shocked

869
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: if they swept the division like they did last year

870
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 1: they went six and oh right, yeah, yeah, yeah, I

871
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:09,919
Speaker 1: think I just I don't. I don't expect that this year.

872
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 1: I think it's more like three or four of this year.

873
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: Yeah in the division. Yeah, I agree. All right, let's

874
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: go and take our final break. We come back. We

875

938
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: seventh of June. Was the seventh, ninth, ninth, I'm sorry,

939
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 1: ninth of June. All right, let's jump back. No, you're right,

940
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 1: June seventh, June seventh, that's what I thought. It was.

941
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 1: The ninth June seven, June seventh is when you got

942
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: to check that out, all right, Amber, Let's get get

943
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: a little c No, all right, let's see how many

944
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: questions we can get through. Sam Williams is a starter

945
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:01,879
Speaker 1: at defensive end Week one against Tampa Bay No, no, no,

946
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: all right, that's easy, Okay. Nothing about him. I don't

947
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 1: think it's necessarily about him. It's just he's a rookie. Like, yeah,

948
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: it is about him. He's he's a rookie and not

949
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: ready to be a starter. About him, well, what I

950
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 1: mean by that is doesn't mean he's not going to

951
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 1: be a good player. Sure, it just means right now,

952
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: he's a rookie and they got for a week one,

953
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: they got guys they trust more to put out there,

954
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: all right, based on the new editions like Williams Clark Ridgeway,

955
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 1: will our defense do better against the run? M I think?

956
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: I think so. I mean, like you would hope to

957
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: have some improvement there. I mean, who did they lose

958
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 1: Randy greg Green, Kean O'Neill, Urban, Urban, Who who they

959
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: lost halfway through the sea? A whole lot. Anyways, I

960
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: don't think you were looking at guys that were stopping

961
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: the run match anywhere, So I don't I see, just

962
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: improved and they should be improved that Neville Galimore didn't

963
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 1: play most of the season. He's a big body in

964
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 1: there that I think, you know, I think if he's

965
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: back and oh, Digiza, I mean he will be back.

966
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 1: I'm saying if he plays a lot with I think

967
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 1: they have a chance to be better. I would imagine

968
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: to be better more than the worse were they Like,

969
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 1: were they atrocious? I'm sorry for not remembering this off

970
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:17,399
Speaker 1: the top might have some games where they were like man,

971
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: what they're just Yeah, No, they definitely had I mean

972
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 1: the San Francisco overall, but I think there were games

973
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: where you just kind of like, man, this digger they were.

974
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: They were middle of the pack on the season, and

975
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 1: they got picked on a few times. I'll say, see

976
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 1: just better. Just yeah. I think that was mainly the

977
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 1: area of improvement. I would say that we were kind

978
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 1: of discussing when you look at the defense, When you

979
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: looked at the defense overall last year and everything, that

980
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 1: they got better at the run games like stopping the

981
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: run was the main area where they kind of did

982
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 1: show their weakness. Yeah, but I mean they were atrocious

983
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 1: in twenty though. I mean they were thirty first. So yeah,

984
00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 1: I guess the reason I'm being like reluctant is I

985
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 1: don't see like a huge jump, But I don't think

986
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: they'll be worse. I mean, if you have Neville healthy,

987
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 1: Osa taking another step, adding some veteran guys having to

988
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,799
Speaker 1: Marcus Lawrence healthy for more of the year. People can

989
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 1: roll their eyes at his ability and run defense all

990
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: they want, but it's real. Um, yeah, I think they'll

991
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 1: be better, all right, Micah Parsons. Will he have a

992
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: sophomore slump year? No? I will hate will be a slump?

993
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 1: I hate the phrasing yeah, because the bar is so high, Like,

994
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: will it be a slump? If he has eighty tackles

995
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: and eight sacks with an interception like that sounds pretty

996
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: great year to me. I mean, I'd be shocked if

997
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 1: he beats his rookie sack total just because that's a

998
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: freaking that's a high barb Um. No, he's not gonna

999
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: slump in the sense that we're I'll be shocked if

1000
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 1: we're sitting here in December, like, man, where's that? Where's

1001
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: the Mica from twenty one? Like where what happened to

1002
00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:59,360
Speaker 1: this guy? Like he will be a good player. He

1003
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 1: might not statistically match what he did last year, but

1004
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 1: oh well, he's going to go into every game this

1005
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 1: year unlike every game last year with teams saying number

1006
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 1: one person we got to deal with is Michael Parsons.

1007
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: So he's got to adjust to that, which means his

1008
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 1: numbers probably won't be the same as as well last

1009
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 1: year because he's going to be the target, which is why,

1010
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: and that alone is why wouldn't you say, you know,

1011
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,399
Speaker 1: people think he should rush all the time or where

1012
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:26,319
Speaker 1: he should be coming from. You know, I think it

1013
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 1: gives more value to be able to play linebacker and

1014
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,359
Speaker 1: rush from different spots because you can say that all

1015
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 1: you want to, but that's exactly what you want your

1016
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: quarterback to do it every single snap is to find him,

1017
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: look for him and try to figure out man. Maybe

1018
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: we adjust things, and now that means that instead of

1019
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 1: doing you know, we do what we do. No, you're not,

1020
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 1: you're doing what number eleven is wanting you to do.

1021
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,399
Speaker 1: Or you can push him into bad situations by making

1022
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 1: them adjust to you and where you are. And so

1023
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 1: they have to choose. They have to say, either we're

1024
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 1: going to do this that puts us out of disadvantage

1025
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: to be able to stop Mica, or we're gonna just

1026
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 1: let MIKEA do his thing. And that's where you know,

1027
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 1: you can really put teams in bad situations. You know,

1028
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 1: I think I think there's a there's a chance that.

1029
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,359
Speaker 1: I mean, he could have even a better year, you know,

1030
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 1: but it's going to be hard with the numbers, but

1031
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 1: he can he can have. Yeah. I wonder if I

1032
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: bet the Cowboys would gladly take fewer sacks from Micah

1033
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:21,399
Speaker 1: if it means that Dante Fowler is getting a one

1034
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: on one with a lesser player as often as possible,

1035
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 1: you know, Like that's how you up the numbers for

1036
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: everybody else. And yeah, like that's what makes him so

1037
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 1: valuable and that's why when they drafted him, I was like,

1038
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 1: if he's more than just an off ball linebacker, I

1039
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 1: like to pick a lot more than I do right now.

1040
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: And that's if if if you're playing a Rashaan Slater

1041
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 1: or like some tackle that can take anybody away, then

1042
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,239
Speaker 1: you just move them, like you don't have to beat

1043
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: your head against the wall. With a player like Micah Parsons.

1044
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,919
Speaker 1: You move him to maximize his impact. So I would

1045
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: be very impressed if he statistically tops what he did

1046
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:58,439
Speaker 1: last year. But he's going to be the focal point

1047
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 1: and the reason why the defense is successful. Yeah, and

1048
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 1: without being said, definitely not a slump year. No, Like

1049
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:06,839
Speaker 1: he's not he's gonna have a great year. I would

1050
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: be surprised if he doesn't. Um, Well, the Cowboys be

1051
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 1: using Paulder more this season. Show me, yeah, No, I'm

1052
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 1: gonna say no, show me, did I see it? I'm

1053
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 1: not gonna buy it. Done. I'm done. Maybe if they

1054
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 1: do this or that and the other, like maybe you

1055
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 1: can get twn touches in the game. No, just do it.

1056
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:29,320
Speaker 1: I don't care. Can he can he be the punt returner?

1057
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 1: I talked about that. I think we answered in the

1058
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 1: mail bag the other day, Like is he like I

1059
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: know there are different skills between a kick returner and

1060
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:38,320
Speaker 1: punt returner. Does he have that that thing that punt

1061
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 1: returners have. I don't know, He's never done it. Yeah,

1062
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 1: that's what I'm trying to say. Do you think he

1063
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,479
Speaker 1: has that kind of he's got juice when the ball

1064
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 1: is in his hands. I know that. I just I

1065
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 1: would tell him to like spend the summer with the

1066
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 1: jugs machine because like we know they don't we CD's

1067
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: not going to do it as much. I'm sure he

1068
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,319
Speaker 1: will still return some punts, but like he's not gonna

1069
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 1: be their primary guy because that was a way to

1070
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 1: get him touches when he was the third receivers, like, well,

1071
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: this is six extra touches a game for a guy

1072
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 1: that might struggle. Otherwise, that's not gonna be an issue anymore.

1073
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 1: He's number one, so he doesn't need to be doing

1074
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 1: all that and quick, who's the next guy in line

1075
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:19,239
Speaker 1: behind him? They like. McCarthy even said that during rookie camp.

1076
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: He was like, all options are on the table, and

1077
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't love the sound of that,

1078
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:26,320
Speaker 1: Like I don't love the thought that you don't really

1079
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:28,839
Speaker 1: have a guy you feel good about. That's I don't

1080
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 1: like that. I mean, the thing about punt returns to

1081
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:32,879
Speaker 1: me is like you just don't know until you get

1082
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: them back there if they can do it, because it

1083
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:37,399
Speaker 1: is I mean, you gotta be fearless and a bit

1084
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:40,400
Speaker 1: crazy to be a punt returner because the guys are

1085
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:42,279
Speaker 1: coming at you a lot faster, they're on top of

1086
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 1: you a lot quicker. You gotta make a split second

1087
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: decision sometimes on whether you're gonna fair catch it or

1088
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:49,319
Speaker 1: whether you're gonna take off with it. There's a lot

1089
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 1: that goes in there, and when you're kicking, you got

1090
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 1: a little more time to kind of feel what's going on,

1091
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 1: and worst case scenario, you let it go through the

1092
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 1: end zone, right, And so it's just I think it's

1093
00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: a little it's it's a lot different mentally for the

1094
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 1: guy that's going to be returning a punt. Worst case

1095
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:05,439
Speaker 1: scenario because you not as you not getting over there

1096
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 1: in time at the eighteen yard line to get it,

1097
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 1: so you just let it go and then it rolls

1098
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:12,760
Speaker 1: to the two. That's the worst I mean, that's right. Yeah,

1099
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:16,719
Speaker 1: Tony has displayed some questionable judgment at times as the

1100
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,839
Speaker 1: kick return. If he's got that, I don't know. I'm

1101
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,399
Speaker 1: not I'm not saying he would be like an all pro,

1102
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:25,279
Speaker 1: but he's got juice and he's got the ability to

1103
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 1: make people miss. And if he can do it, that's

1104
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,720
Speaker 1: a way to get him four or six more touches

1105
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:32,799
Speaker 1: a game that they refuse to give him as a

1106
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 1: running back. I'm just trying a problem solve here. If

1107
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 1: they don't want to listen to me, that's fine. Hey,

1108
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 1: do you think there's any shot whatsoever that Cede Lamb

1109
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 1: is returning puns this ship? I wouldn't do it. I

1110
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:44,319
Speaker 1: got asked this the other day. I wouldn't do it.

1111
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 1: Not because of him being the starter. I don't think

1112
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 1: he's that great at it, Like I mean, when has

1113
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 1: he just been like so dynamic It's like, oh my god,

1114
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 1: CD back there, like, don't kick it to him. I

1115
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 1: mean like if I'm Miami Dolphins, I mean Tyreek Hill

1116
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:00,319
Speaker 1: is doing it. I mean, yeah, he's your number one receiver,

1117
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:03,360
Speaker 1: but he's doing it. Or you know, Deshaun Jackson did it.

1118
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 1: Those guys they're awesome and they can play their position.

1119
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,759
Speaker 1: But I just don't think CD is worth the risk

1120
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 1: because I don't I haven't seen him just be that dynamic.

1121
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 1: He's okay, but he's not like watch out, you know,

1122
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 1: don't go to the bathroom because they're about to punt

1123
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 1: the CD. Do you think about like Chekelon Diggs, No, no,

1124
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: you don't want to see it, or no, you don't

1125
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 1: think he'd be good at it. I think he'd be

1126
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 1: great at it. I don't want to see it. I

1127
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 1: don't want the like that. I mean, and I've I'm

1128
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 1: in favor of receivers doing it. If they're good at it,

1129
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 1: you typically have other receivers that can fill in if

1130
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 1: you're if you get hurt, like a a lockdown franchise

1131
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 1: cornerback and it's hard to come by. I just don't

1132
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:47,799
Speaker 1: love the idea of like risking that um don't say it, well, no,

1133
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 1: I want to you. I know Deon did it. I know,

1134
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,360
Speaker 1: I know it's been thirty years since Dion was in

1135
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 1: his crime. Like, it's a different, different other cornerback. I'm

1136
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,359
Speaker 1: trying to think of another cornerback in the league that's

1137
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 1: done it. There's there's a lot of guys that that

1138
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 1: do it like that, Like from a cornerbacks then point

1139
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,399
Speaker 1: cd average ten yards per tempt. He also he only

1140
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 1: had three more returns than Cedric last year. My answer

1141
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 1: is that I bet he'll do it, but it won't

1142
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 1: be a day of weekly occurrence. That's just my guess.

1143
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: But I don't know who it's gonna be. I mean,

1144
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:21,399
Speaker 1: who's your sure handed guy that's like, okay, put him

1145
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 1: back there. This is not the balls at midfield. It's

1146
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 1: not gonna be reporting if he can Tilbur do it.

1147
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:31,760
Speaker 1: Has cop Tilber Dunner in college what McCarthy McCarthy asked,

1148
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: this might not have been his fault, just I mean,

1149
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 1: they don't have a punt returner. McCarthy made every skill

1150
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:41,319
Speaker 1: player field a field kicks and punts during rookie camp.

1151
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 1: He's basically like, let's just see how all these guys

1152
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:48,359
Speaker 1: look trapped and catching the balls. Tilbert's rep got caught

1153
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:51,239
Speaker 1: up in the wind and it just landed like eight

1154
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,239
Speaker 1: yards to the to the right of him, like he

1155
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:56,279
Speaker 1: just he mistracted or lost where it was in the sun.

1156
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened, but yeah, they had hit

1157
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 1: the ground like it wasn't even close to him. And

1158
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 1: I was like, did you did you lose it? Like

1159
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 1: you didn't even really look like you knew where it was. Yeah,

1160
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:08,719
Speaker 1: maybe maybe he's better at it. But it was just

1161
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 1: funny that because everybody's gonna watch when the third round

1162
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 1: pick receiver, Like nobody cares about the tight end that's

1163
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 1: doing everything on the team when Tilber. When Tilbert came

1164
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 1: up for his rep, it was like, all right, let's

1165
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 1: see what you go. Okay, all right, who's up next? Yeah? Um,

1166
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:27,480
Speaker 1: maybe though maybe he could all Right, all right, all right,

1167
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 1: I think we have time for one more. I'll let

1168
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: you guys choose and send my easy question or a

1169
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 1: spicy one. Spicy Okay, this is the last season we

1170
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 1: have with Mike McCarthy, den Quinn and kill him more.

1171
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 1: That's oh all three. Oh. All I have to say

1172
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 1: is no, no, I mean, see, there's an easy way

1173
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 1: out of it. You know, you could say, you know,

1174
00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: there's no there's no no way, no way all three

1175
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 1: of them are coaching here in twenty twenty three. There's

1176
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 1: no way because if it if it goes well to

1177
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 1: the point where Mike McCarthy stays, and that means those

1178
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 1: other two have done their job and they're going to

1179
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 1: probably go get head coaching jobs because they were on

1180
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 1: the doorstep of doing it last year. If it doesn't

1181
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 1: go real well at all, then it could be o

1182
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 1: for three. But I mean there's a better chance of

1183
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 1: over three than a three three for three, Yeah, there's

1184
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 1: I yes, there's way better chance that none of them

1185
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 1: are here next year than all of them, I think,

1186
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 1: because yeah, if I mean maybe and maybe not so

1187
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 1: much Kellen Moore, I don't know, but like it's the

1188
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 1: it's the upset of the decade that dan Quinn stayed right,

1189
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 1: like Jerry had to dig into the pocketbook and some

1190
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 1: other awkward things happened along the way, and I just

1191
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 1: if the defense is good again this year, especially with

1192
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 1: another you know, you got another high profile draft pick

1193
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:54,400
Speaker 1: and Sam Williams to work with, like, there's no way

1194
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:55,959
Speaker 1: they can keep him out. I think if this team

1195
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 1: does exactly what they did last year, that I think

1196
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 1: Jerry willman mix it up. I think Jerry will make

1197
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 1: some changes if I do exactly what they did last year,

1198
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 1: which means if they get to the playoffs and they

1199
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 1: lose a round one, I think, so you get beyond that.

1200
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 1: Now it's the scenario you guys were talking about. Then

1201
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 1: it's a situation where those other two guys become more

1202
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 1: of a commodity on the open market to be able

1203
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:17,440
Speaker 1: to go and be head coach. How bad does he

1204
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 1: need to get for you too? For something I had

1205
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 1: to happen mid season type of change. Let me let

1206
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:27,680
Speaker 1: me show you something right here. November thirteenth, Nick knows

1207
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 1: this well. Middle of the season, you go to Green Bay.

1208
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, you gotta you gotta rough first

1209
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 1: part of the first part of the season. I tell you,

1210
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 1: I tell you the one to look at there is

1211
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 1: October twenty third. It's it's home against Detroit. Because if

1212
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 1: the first six games have not gone well, those six

1213
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:48,520
Speaker 1: games are going to be tough. I mean two, the

1214
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 1: two easy ones are both division games in the middle.

1215
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 1: So um, let's say it's two and four. Let's say

1216
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:58,480
Speaker 1: it's worse than that. Yeah, and then you lose to Detroit. Okay,

1217
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 1: well then now you got problem. So so so then what

1218
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 1: would happen is de being on what? Really? I would

1219
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 1: say maybe it's Chicago because you're about to go into

1220
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 1: a bye two. Like Jerry makes the statement on the

1221
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,919
Speaker 1: fan twice that does us, Well, what's going on after

1222
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 1: the Detroit and then we head into the Bears game

1223
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:15,600
Speaker 1: and there's all this speculation and then that goes bad. Ye,

1224
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 1: then that's where you get. Then everybody's bye week and

1225
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 1: then the website like that's that's exactly what happened. That's

1226
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,920
Speaker 1: exactly what happened. Don't say that. Don't mess up my

1227
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:32,919
Speaker 1: bye week exactly what? Wait? How is Wade the only

1228
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,120
Speaker 1: mid season firing of the Jerry era? Could he wait

1229
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 1: to the Yes, that's to answer all the head coach.

1230
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 1: That's what I mean. No, no, no, I'm talking about

1231
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 1: head coach, not Paul. Yeah, that was it. The bottom,

1232
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 1: the bottom would have to truly drop out, like you

1233
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 1: would have to legit legitimately be out of the playoff

1234
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 1: race by Halloween. I think for that to happen. But

1235
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 1: you know, that's one of the things that I don't

1236
01:00:57,240 --> 01:01:00,120
Speaker 1: like about the schedule. And I was, uh, you know,

1237
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 1: when I asked that first question about what you like

1238
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:03,680
Speaker 1: and what you don't like about the schedule, one of

1239
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 1: the things that I immediately noticed was not only how

1240
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 1: tough it is the beginning of the season, but that

1241
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 1: actually lines up when Dallas will be We know they

1242
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 1: will be shorthanded, we know they won't have their probably

1243
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:18,920
Speaker 1: second receiver for at least those first couple of games,

1244
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 1: and so when you start talking about Nick, when you

1245
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 1: were talking about they'll probably be favorite in those two games,

1246
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, I don't know. Like I was hoping

1247
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 1: that they would actually backload the schedule. Give me some

1248
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 1: easy games at the beginning of the season when I'm

1249
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 1: a little shorthanded, and then let me work into getting

1250
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 1: those guys ready, and by the end of the season,

1251
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:38,920
Speaker 1: maybe I'm ready to face Tampa Bay Cincinnati in the rams.

1252
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 1: That's where I'm a little bit concerned about. This was

1253
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 1: a year that you were hoping for a Giant's opener. Yes,

1254
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:49,680
Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely. Yeah. I mean it's funny because that's what

1255
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 1: I go back to, is like I don't think the

1256
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 1: team is better on paper. I've said it a million times,

1257
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 1: Like I don't think they're better than they were last year,

1258
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 1: and I think the expectation is somehow even higher, Like

1259
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 1: I don't think yeah, like one and done ain't gonna

1260
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 1: make anybody happy, including the owner. But they're not better

1261
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 1: than they were last year or so buckle up like that.

1262
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 1: Just it's gonna be an interesting season with When you

1263
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:19,000
Speaker 1: consider that, it's like, well, we kind of gave you

1264
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:20,440
Speaker 1: less to work with, but we want you to do

1265
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 1: more with it. Have fun. It's a weird spot to be. Yeah,

1266
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 1: it comes down to that question about Micah Parsons and

1267
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 1: the sophomore slump. If he if he had a sophomore

1268
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:33,680
Speaker 1: someth that's that's terrible. If he's about what he was,

1269
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:36,080
Speaker 1: then you know, then we'll see what happens. But if

1270
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:38,600
Speaker 1: he takes a next step, if he if he's if

1271
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:42,280
Speaker 1: he's better, which he could be, because this guy, he

1272
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 1: says he loves football, he studies it all the time.

1273
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he wants to get better. He's really hungry

1274
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:50,080
Speaker 1: at it. I think he's becoming more of a leader.

1275
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:54,080
Speaker 1: If he takes a next step in that direction and

1276
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 1: he's way better than what he was, then I mean

1277
01:02:57,480 --> 01:02:58,880
Speaker 1: you have a chance. I mean you're gonna be in

1278
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 1: every game. And speaking of being better, that's actually where

1279
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:03,760
Speaker 1: I expect him to grow this year. I expect him

1280
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 1: to come in the here what I want. I should

1281
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:07,280
Speaker 1: say what I wanted him to come in here and

1282
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:10,640
Speaker 1: make this entire defense better because of his attitude. We've

1283
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 1: seen how throughout the history of the NFL there are

1284
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 1: certain players that have an ability because of not only

1285
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:19,600
Speaker 1: their play, but also how they hold other people accountable,

1286
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 1: to make the entire defense better around them. I think

1287
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:24,200
Speaker 1: he's one of those kind of players that if he

1288
01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:26,640
Speaker 1: can be that that type of voice, where he can

1289
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 1: be that alpha that's like holding people accountable and making

1290
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 1: sure everybody's playing up to a certain standard, playing up

1291
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 1: to his standard. I think that's where you can see

1292
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:37,480
Speaker 1: this defense now make a big jump. Because we all

1293
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 1: know it's hard. Dave. Think you just tweeted this earlier

1294
01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:43,480
Speaker 1: today about how hard it is to replicate a good

1295
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 1: defensive season. That's not an easy thing to do to

1296
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 1: sustain that, but I do think if they have any

1297
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:50,120
Speaker 1: hope of doing that, it's going to come from Michael

1298
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:53,720
Speaker 1: Parsons making everybody better. Well. Jerry also thinks that they're

1299
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 1: gonna get Micah like production from this draft class too,

1300
01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 1: So okay, maybe we'll be sitting here talking about the news.

1301
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:05,360
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody was expecting what came from from

1302
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:07,200
Speaker 1: Mica to come from Mica. Not to say he wouldn't

1303
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 1: be a good player, but I don't think anybody expected

1304
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 1: what they got. So let's let's see, you know, let's

1305
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:16,360
Speaker 1: see where that goes. Like they've said, buckle up, buckle

1306
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:18,920
Speaker 1: up for this ride, because it's gonna be bumpy. It's

1307
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:21,240
Speaker 1: gonna be fun as usual, like when you're in the

1308
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 1: roller coaster and the guy comes by and pushes the

1309
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:26,480
Speaker 1: bar down and you're like, it's been a little loose.

1310
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 1: Can you can you come tightest thing for me? I

1311
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 1: don't know if how I feel about that. This thing

1312
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:32,439
Speaker 1: does a loop the loop, right, Like, can you come

1313
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:34,960
Speaker 1: secure this a little tighter for me and still move

1314
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:37,360
Speaker 1: it a little? That's how I feel right now. All right,

1315
01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:39,360
Speaker 1: appreciate you guys, join us. We'll be back next week.
