But we have plenty 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.120 to talk about today. We're actually going to do all 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.800 three of our weekly segments today. We're gonna have QB 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.880 Vision here in this segment, we're gonna have John's national 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.600 storylines and segment two, and then we will have Nick 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:13.960 Harris's key matchups in segment. 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:15.520 Three, followed by our pick him for the. 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:19.160 Cowboys game specifically following that, and then of course we've 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.000 got our news and notes to start things off, so we. 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:22.639 Got to get to it. Yeah, we'll make these news 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:24.320 and notes super quick so we can get to Isaiah's 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.079 beautiful segment that does every week. We'll start with the 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.560 practice report from yesterday. It looks like there's a sickness 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.800 going around the D line room. Dante Fowler not just 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:34.840 a D line room, Yeah, definitely, not just a D 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.760 line room. I can tell you that Dante Fowler missed 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.240 his second straight day of practice yesterday with an illness, 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.079 and then Michael Parsons was added to the injury report yesterday, 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.639 did not practice with an illness. And the first joke, well, 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:48.680 not joke. It's not funny. I guess it is because 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:52.560 I'm sick too. But Michael Parsons, if I'm his agent, 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:55.240 I'm like, hey, look my guy. He's a defensive lineman. 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:58.000 He's getting sick around all the other defensive linemen. You know, 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:00.480 so in the off season that could be a point 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.680 you're talking about contract, Yeah, exactly exactly. You know him 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:04.880 and Dante Fowler are spending a. 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:06.480 Lot of time talking about this. For a second, I 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:08.400 can't let this go. 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:13.320 If you walked up, if you're a member of the 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:15.520 front office staff, and you walked up to his agent 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.160 and even tried to sell anything on linebacker, Oh yeah, 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:19.080 you don't even respond. 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.720 You fold up your stuff, You just put your stuff away. 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.200 You walk right out like there's no way that you 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:26.640 can get away with even if that's a non star, Well, nope, 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:27.160 we're good. 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:27.480 No. 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.840 That was kind of the rhetoric. And again, I don't 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:32.240 want to spend too much time on it, but we're 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.760 gonna have a ton of time on this throughout, especially 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.040 the off season as well. But there was a lot 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:39.480 of rhetoric throughout the off season from people that were 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.440 not Michael Parsons saying that he was a linebacker, and 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.520 he was saying that he was a defensive lineman. And 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:46.560 I guess there was a little bit of variance you 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:48.720 could have had going into the season. But we're looking 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.760 at eighty five percent of the snaps that he's played 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.920 on the line the most impactful. Yeah, double digit sacks. 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.080 I mean, we don't. I don't think we can go 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.280 much further with that dialogue. Looking at the rest of 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.839 the injury report, we'll go down it really fast. Rico 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:05.600 Dabdell still limited with an ankle injury the same as Monday. 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:10.119 Peyton hender Shot still listed as full. His window does 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.200 not have to be opened before tomorrow's game, so he 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:14.400 can go one more game still on the IR, but 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:16.960 then going into the Philadelphia game, he would have to 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:20.840 be activated. Tyrus Wheet was upgraded to a full participant 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.800 on Tuesday with his concussion. Mazi Smith still on the 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:27.840 injury report full with his shoulder injury, and then jay 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.320 Ron Curse was upgraded to full with his back injury. 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:32.800 And we didn't mention this yesterday, but he was asked 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.040 on Monday at what are the odds that he plays 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.880 on Thursday? He said two hundred percent. So good stuff. 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:39.360 That is good. 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.039 In the last news and note we'll get to really fast, 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:46.480 just kind of recapping the Shaquille leonard A visit from yesterday. 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.080 We were kind of talking about it pre show. I 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:51.479 think Isaiah asked the question was was he always going 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.800 to leave without a contract? And John answered, and it's 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.000 it's how I feel as well, and it's what it 0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:00.320 sounds like it was, as far as truth goes. He 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.120 was always going to see his options out. And I 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:06.080 kind of tweeted about it yesterday on Twitter or zed 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:10.640 it about it. Whatever you want to say. He uhs 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:13.960 an X like, apparently that's like what you're supposed to say. Yeah, 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.440 I'm not saying I'm not Yeah, I'm I'm never saying 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:21.360 that outside of like an official atmosphere. Absolutely not. Elon 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:22.680 can Elon can go to boy. 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:26.320 Yeah, I'm not saying nothing bad about before tomorrow. What if? 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.240 What if he names the cyber truck the X truck? 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:29.880 Are you gonna are you. 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:35.040 Gonna call it? I'm calling it whatever I purchase it, stand. 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.360 Back, the Standmobile. 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:38.039 I like that. 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:41.880 But I tweeted about it yesterday and I said, look, 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.159 this is not a normal free agency. It's or not 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:47.400 a normal mid season free agency. He was always going 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:49.800 to see his options out, and it's gonna happen a 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:51.839 lot and a lot shorter of a time frame than 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:54.480 a typical big time free agency would happen if it 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:57.200 were say over the off season, just because he still 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.120 wants to get on the field and contribute for a 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.039 team down the stretch and learn the playbook and thinks 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.680 of that nature. He's gonna see these options out. He's 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:06.560 going to go to the Eagles today and then I 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:08.880 wouldn't be surprised if he sees another team between now 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:11.720 and the weekend and he's gonna make his decision this weekend. 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:13.280 But it sounds like it's going to come down to 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:15.120 the Eagles and the Cowboys. He has a lot of 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.240 connections with his fraternity in Philadelphia. Uh, he has a 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.479 lot of connections on the coaching staff in Philadelphia, so 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:21.920 those are things that they're going to have to battle. 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:23.960 He apparently has a lot of friends and family in 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:27.440 Philadelphia as well, So these are things that the Cowboys 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:29.840 are definitely gonna have to contest and and and battle with. 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.279 But as far as everything we've heard, and maybe John 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:34.600 can can add from what he knows, the visit went 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:36.720 good yesterday, when as good as they could have they 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.600 could have thought that he checks out when it came 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:41.200 to the health stuff, which was I know we were 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.320 talking about that yesterday with the two back surgeries that 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:46.080 he had last year, and now it's just kind of 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:47.520 a wait and see, wait and see approach. 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:49.599 I thought you hit all of it. No, I have 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:50.400 nothing to add to that. 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.200 That's I mean, obviously Cowboys would like to add him. 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.320 They made that pretty clear anytime that there's similarities I 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:59.040 see with the way they've gone about this too. When 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.839 they went after Adell Beckham, you know, it made it 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.760 pretty open, and it hasn't always been that way, So 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:07.080 I wonder if it'll be like Odell Beckham too where 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:09.760 it comes down to Jerry made it pretty clear in 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.080 that one throughout that he didn't want to give more 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:14.120 than just the contract for the rest of the season. 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.960 And if you're Shack Leonard, you're probably looking for more 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.600 than that, I guess, So that might be the difference 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:23.080 between him signed with the Cowboys and maybe sign somewhere else. 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:24.960 If I'm Shack, I'm looking for a two year deal 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:27.800 and I'm again I might be off as far as 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.840 numbers go here, but maybe like a sixteen million type 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:36.480 deal just because you want to have two years, yeah right, exactly, Yeah, yeah, no, no, no, 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:38.600 not not per year, just because you want to have 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.680 enough stability obviously for those two seasons, but give yourself 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:45.640 two gears of opportunity to earn a extended contract where 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:47.280 you can get that money that you were earning in 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:50.880 Indianapolis with another team. It would just kind of make sense. 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.640 The threshold that Darius Leonard has already passed that Odell 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:55.800 couldn't really pass last year was the health thing too, 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.280 And to be able to pass that, I think that's 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.720 what has everybody in this building really excited about the 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:03.560 potential of atting Leonard. But you know, I kind of 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:05.120 wrote about this in Nick at Night last night and 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:07.960 it ended up kind of being about Darius Lendard in 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:09.600 the last couple of paragraphs, and it wasn't really what 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.040 it was intended to be. But that's what kind of 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:14.240 happens when you start riding with with no end. You 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.280 have Marquise Bell and DeMont Clark, these guys that have 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:19.320 really stepped up and have filled different roles in this 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:21.440 linebacking corps this year. You know, if you don't get 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:23.200 Darius Leonard, it's not the end of the world. You 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:25.600 have two really good pass defenders in that second level. 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.480 I feel like you have one and a half good 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.080 run defenders in that second level as well, and you 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:33.000 have capable guys that are starting to step up, and 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.640 then aterior defensive line and that safety group all the 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:37.199 way down the middle of the field. Is the run 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.120 defense probably still the biggest liability on this defense, Yes, 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:42.880 I believe so, but I believe it's more capable than 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:44.800 it was last season. I don't feel like it's going 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:46.280 to be as big of a hindrance as it was 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:48.600 towards like the middle and end of last regular season. 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:52.640 Would Darius Lyndard be a welcomed edition on this team. Absolutely, 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:54.440 that would be that would be a huge addition to 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:57.559 this run defense, but I'm not one hundred percent certain 0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:59.840 that it would be, you know, the thing that would 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:01.640 put this defense over the top. I think it would 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:03.959 still put this defense in the same echelon, in the 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:05.240 same tier that it is right now. 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:06.920 And the other thing effectors in is that you know, 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:10.360 Layton's out over Shown's out. And then I just go 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:14.000 back to the game last week where Markue's bell was 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:16.560 in that tent. For a while, I kept looking back, 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:17.720 and he's still in there. He's still in there now. 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:19.160 He ends up being fine. But it just is one 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:20.520 of those things that go through your mind. You're like, 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:22.280 all right, well, then who's the next one up there? 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:26.719 So they need Shack Leonard, you know, they need him 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:29.520 probably more than whoever else is going to be out there. 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:31.440 So it'll be interesting to see when it comes down. 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:33.120 What does your gut to you that. 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:34.160 He ends up being a cowboy? 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:38.319 Yeah, my gut tells me Eagle, me too, Okay, me too. 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:40.280 I think I'll split it right down the middle of 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:42.680 my gut, says cowboy. I don't think they'd let him 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:46.199 because I agree with John and the fact that they 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.160 need him specifically. 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:49.240 If they don't get him, it's not the end of 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:49.600 the world. 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:52.240 I thought it was outlined yesterday pretty well that you 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:55.559 temper your expectations based on wherever he signs. No matter what, 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:58.199 he's not going to win you the super Bowl immediately. 0:09:58.240 --> 0:09:59.800 If he signs here, he's not going to win the 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:01.079 the super Bowl immediately. 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:03.800 So that's that's my I guess that's one of the 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:05.800 reasons why I think he'll end up an Eagle, because 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:07.040 Dallas takes that Oh. 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:08.480 You know, if it works out, it works out. 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:10.680 If it doesn't, it doesn't type approach versus Philly's like, no, 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:12.240 we need you in the building like we need you 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:13.160 like we need you. 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.200 We want you from the outside looking in. Now we're 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:17.960 in the buildings, so we get a pretty good indication. Understand, 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:21.280 Howie Roseman does have a track record of saying, yep, 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:22.640 I want you. 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:23.280 You're now here. 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:26.320 Absolutely, I get it. But that's not always the case. 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:28.240 They pass on prospects all the time. 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:30.120 Absolutely, But I'm just going off of the most most 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.960 recent history in terms of being aggressive and adding pieces 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:34.760 to his roster to ensure that he has the best 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.160 shot at winning a super Bowl. Philadelphia has a better 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.600 track record of that than Dallas, than the Dallas Cowboys, 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.280 and you add into other added the added elements that 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.280 you were just talking about, Nick, in terms of the 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:47.000 family and all the other, you know, underlying factors. I 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:50.840 don't see how Philadelphia doesn't secure the bag there. I'm 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.160 just that's just my That's just my gut. That's just 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:53.480 my gut. 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.800 If I felt, even though he was. 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.120 Always planning on going to see multiple teams, I always 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.040 felt in my in my heart, if he's allowed to 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.480 leave this building, chances are he's probably not going to 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:03.280 come back in this building. 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.120 That's the key as well. Nick Eapman wrote about it 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:08.120 yesterday on the website. He said Leonard has apparently made 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.800 promises to other teams that he would at least listen 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:14.080 to all offers before making a decision. So not just 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.080 the Eagles, not just the Cowboys. There are other teams 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:21.200 here that we don't know about yet. I keep it's 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:24.520 so easily comparable to the Odell Beckham junior scenario, because 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:26.719 at that point it was two teams and then oh 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:29.560 there's a ghost team. There's a fourth team. Oh my gosh, 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:32.240 they're going to try and court and pern around but 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.640 it didn't end up working out because of the health issue. 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.040 They could have utilized you Odell Beckham if he was healthy. 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:42.840 Yeah, the difference was Odell hadn't shown that he was 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:43.920 capable of playing yet. 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:45.960 Correct, that's not the case here. 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:48.040 Yeah, Shack's been it's not the case here. 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:48.800 So it's totally different. 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:51.200 There was a huge question mark regard over over O'Dell 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:53.080 Beckham and whether or not he was play ready and 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:53.720 all that jazz. 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:56.800 Beckham's play ready. There's no team that's letting him. 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:58.480 Go exactly exactly right. 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:00.400 So if O'Dell Beckham had been on the field and 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:04.120 then started taking his visits, yeah, totally different, totally different situation. 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:07.080 So I'm just my gut. I hope that Dallas finds 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.520 a way. I don't I don't see it happening well. 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:14.040 From this side right here, it's trying to be a 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:14.640 glass half. 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:16.640 I mean. 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.359 Also, if you're him, though, honestly, what are you thinking. 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:23.559 Go to Dallas because it's the best scenario out there. 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:25.720 Let me just let me just state this is somebody 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:27.520 that I'm not a Cowboys fan. I didn't grow up 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:30.480 a Cowboys fan, but there is something about the Cowboys 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:33.040 that's different than I'm a huge sports fan like, and 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.360 I'm not sit at home watch TV sports fan like. 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:38.560 I'm a single guy. My life is sports. I've been 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:39.480 to a lot of places. 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.559 It's tough. The Cowboys, man, it's tough to beat. It's 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:43.960 tough to beat everything that comes with it. 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:45.560 I don't agree. I've been around the world. 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.880 In right, I get it. 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:51.160 But there's there's there's some there's something when you look 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:52.800 at what both teams don't like. 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:54.840 I don't want to play outside, so I got something 0:12:55.320 --> 0:13:01.199 A bad example out one Seattle sounds very Enticingladelphia playing 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:04.240 outside like. I don't oh no, don't love the idea 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:07.440 that you just have a couple of bad plays and 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:10.440 your fan base is ripping you harder than anybody else. 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:11.560 I don't love. 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.480 I mean, Dallas does that to me. I don't know, man, 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:17.760 This whole ordeal is reminding me of my last job 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.000 in recruiting, because he's like taking visits and he's going 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:24.120 to make his decision this weekend and what's predictions exactly. 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:26.880 I was thinking about that yesterday. I was thinking about it, 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:29.760 if honestly, truthfully, if I were to enter a crystal ball, 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:31.440 I wouldn't have one right now, so. 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:34.200 We'll see the biggest thing with me too, and I 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:36.360 say that about the Cowboys is because it's been twenty 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:38.840 seven years and I always feel like if you could 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.200 be one of those pieces that got them back to 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:45.240 glory like that, just I challenge you to compare it 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:48.600 to something else. I'm Lakers, Yankees, they've all won since then. 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:50.680 I'm talking if you were one of those key pieces 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:53.120 that helped put them over the top, like, it's tough 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:53.600 to beat that. 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:53.880 Now. 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:56.480 Number one, though, is money. 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:59.640 So that's the money family convenience. 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.400 Speaking of money and this, of course you can finagle 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.199 quite a number of ways. 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.960 But Dallas right now has six point six million. 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:12.839 In cap space and the Eagles have two point three. 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:14.880 So it's about. 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:21.040 Four million dollar difference this year, specifically between the cap 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:24.920 for Philadelphia and the cap for Dallas. Now, Philadelphia's cap 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.640 next year looks significantly better than it does for Dallas 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:31.400 at the moment, but that'll be rearranged and figured out 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:32.320 along the way as well. 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:34.760 So there's only two point three million left in cap 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.800 space for Philly, oh for Philly, for Philly, six point 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:41.360 six for Dallas. Current that's considerably different it is for 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:43.360 the rest of season. 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.960 You're talking about a pro rated contract for the back 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:48.240 half of the camp Camp Philly. 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.520 Does Philly have an open roster spot? Didn't they just 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:51.120 let you go over? 0:14:51.320 --> 0:15:00.560 Dear Barnette, don't drink your walk are like that? 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:03.640 I love that. I heard the little air bubble and that. 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:05.720 All right, you practice that. 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:07.680 Things don't happen by chance. That's all I'm saying. 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.840 The ab we spent a lot of time on this. Isaiah, 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:12.160 you've got like four minutes. 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:24.840 Why Eddie, it's time for QB vision with Isaiah's standsback, 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:27.240 go for it, all. 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.640 Right, y'all were gonna blow through this real quick. Seattle Seahawks, 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:33.800 these dudes are fast. They're really fast. That's probably the 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:35.920 best way to describe them. I think that's been their 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:39.320 model for some years now. Defensively, that's what they rest 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:43.040 that's what they rest on. They always have. This year 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:46.080 is no different. We can start up front and with 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:49.800 their defensive front there, they don't really have a bunch 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:53.280 of dogs up front. I would say, you know, Mafe 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:55.920 is pretty pretty good. Uh, he's definitely pretty good. You 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:58.000 got Leonard Williams that they just picked up. Obviously, those 0:15:58.000 --> 0:15:59.760 are kind of the guys that they really rely on 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:02.440 hell in terms of trying to be run stopping and 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:05.880 then Mafe being a guy who's a pass rusher. They 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:08.320 don't have a lot of stunts, so unlike Dallas, they're 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:09.920 not doing a bunch of stunts to trying to confuse 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:11.880 you and create all these different leverage matchups. Like these 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:14.040 guys are pretty much line up and try to beat 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:16.400 you with speed. They put the big boy Leonnar Williams 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:18.160 in the middle to try to clog things up to 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:20.080 kind of deter you from running the rock. 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:22.920 The guys that are absolute dogs for them. 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:24.960 You got to go up to the second level and 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:27.000 that's when you run into Bobby Wagner and you run 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:31.120 into Jordan Brooks. Those two guys are complete monsters. I 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:34.040 think Bobby Wagner has one hundred and thirteen tackles already. 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.560 I think Jordan Brooks has like ninety five or something. 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:39.600 It's crazy, like they're right there with each other. Those 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:43.360 guys play downhill. They're sure, they're smart, they don't pick 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:47.680 the wrong holes. They communicate really well together nonverbally. I mean, 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:49.840 these guys they work in tandem and this reason why 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.600 they're able to get a lot of tackles. The defensive 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:54.720 line is doing a good job of being gap disciplined 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:56.720 and allowing those guys to free flow. And that's the 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:59.520 reason why their numbers are so high in terms of 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:03.200 tackles at that linebacker position. That's not where most people 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:05.080 are putting their attention at though most people are. Obviously, 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.120 you're going to look out to the outside and where 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:10.119 are their defensive backs? Are their defensive backs And Devin Witherspoon, 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:14.440 who's an absolute beast, Riek Wollen, absolute beast, and then 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:16.280 the Trey Brown does a really good job as well, 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:19.000 Number twenty two. All three other defensive backs do a 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:21.399 great job. And then you look at their safeties, and 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:26.439 I honestly believe that their safeties are underappreciated as their 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:30.119 cornerbacks have been so successful and been so dominant. Their 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:33.200
