I certainly have. 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:29.920 Is it one of the things there's never been a 0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:31.240 deep blue on the hill? Mary?

It kind 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:39.720 of it kind of fell apart. There was some some issues. 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:41.520 R okay, web, Sorry I didn't ring it up. 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:43.720 No, nothing bad, nothing bad. It was just like there 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:45.920 was just some probably ran into it. We thought we 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.960 had maybe the ball, the actual ball. It just didn't 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:49.360 turn out. 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:52.360 Oh, excuse me, it's the twenty eighth is it birthday? 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:54.240 There you go, that's how you remember? 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:55.200 That's I remember. Yeah. 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.120 Didn't that ball end up in the stands? 0:01:57.760 --> 0:01:58.280 Actually? 0:01:58.640 --> 0:01:59.640 Go ahead, go ahead? 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:03.880 You you I'm sorry, I mean you did. Did Drew 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:05.400 Pearson throw the ball in the stands? 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.640 So whenever he whenever he said he had a dream 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:10.560 the night before where he caught the winning touchdown and 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.040 threw the ball out of the stadium. So when he 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:14.280 caught it, he was like, well, I got to throw 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:15.760 it out of the stadium. So we threw it out 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:17.880 of the stadium and with the met it was it 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:21.080 was open ye that we have today, and so he 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.160 threw it and it landed in the parking lot and 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:26.120 never never recovered as far as we know. 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.960 But we thought we maybe had it this past summer, but. 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:30.680 We had a line to it, but it didn't work. 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:31.919 Was it a Minneapolis fan? 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:33.520 Long story? 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:35.200 I don't know what we can share, So I'm just 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:39.520 gonna you're done there. 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.120 Okay, there was a whole thing. The whole thing, but 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.560 we didn't realize there was such a to say. We 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:46.280 didn't find the ball. We thought we may have had 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.600 the ball, but it just we didn't feel comfortable that 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:49.239 that was the ball. 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:53.280 So yeah, hard to Okay, what did the ball say? 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:55.640 Did the ball at the time? Could you identify it 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:57.679 as saying exactly? 0:02:59.000 --> 0:02:59.200 Yeah? 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:02.040 So this was it was this say this wouldn't be 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:05.119 a this would be would be a Pete Roselle ball. 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:09.160 It would be a Pete Roselle ball, and say the duke. Yes. 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:11.680 In the seventies, it had a very specific brand on 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:15.640 It had very specific uh typing on it. The air 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:17.639 hole in the ball was had a very specific spot 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.800 and then in the eighties it switched over or excuse 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.680 me in nineteen seventy six, it switched over, so they 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:25.520 go by ten year increments, but they go from like 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:30.200 seventy or sixty six to seventy five and then seventy 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.560 six to eighty five, and so like there was a 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:35.280 like that was that like one of the probably one 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.040 of the final balls that was used of like that era. Wow, 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.560 And so yeah, there was even more confusion about Okay, 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.400 is this ball this because of that or this because 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:45.240 of that where they may be doing some eighties test 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:46.120 balls in this game. 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:47.680 There's there's all. 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.120 Man, it was the whole thing and actually that may 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:55.880 be worth a documentary and it really that process because 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:57.839 it is it's a lot to consider when you're trying 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:01.800 to identify and authenticate a ball from from a game 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:03.400 that happened back in the seventies. Right. 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.920 Yeah, I had a phenomenal time working for you guys 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:07.720 for sixteen months. I always said the best thing that 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.080 I ever worked on was the Marion Barber documentary. 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:11.920 I will forever remember working on that. 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.680 The second best thing that I ever worked on, nothing 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:16.520 ever came of it. It was the Drew Pearson ball. 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:18.720 So that was that's fascinating. 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:20.840 Yeah, it was a fun time me and so was 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:22.400 just Blake. He had a lot of late nights on 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:23.000 the phone with that. 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.240 Yeah, and a lot of headaches on that one. 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:26.160 Lot of headaches with that one. 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.520 Okay, all right, let's jump in. I have some questions 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:30.560 we didn't get to yesterday about the offense, and I 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.280 want to take the first segment. I don't know, we're 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:34.640 going to see and here you go. 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.240 Second segment's see make questions we could pick off of 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:38.080 Brian's before he. 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.440 Gets started, got a lot of them. In the second segment, 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:42.520 we'll dive inside the brain and Brian brought us And 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:45.000 in the third segment, because it is Christmas Eve, we're 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.320 gonna do some Christmas wishes here. I would go across 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:50.840 the offensive, defense, coaching special teams. What do you guys 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:52.919 have wishes for this team? We'll do that in the 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:56.960 final segment, I Amber, how are you? We're just rolling along? 0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.320 Yeah, I just came in here quietly drank my coffee. 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.120 You know we should all be home right now, but 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:05.040 glad to be here with yo, you all sharing this 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:06.039 lovely morning. 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:06.760 It is. 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:10.000 If you guys are listening outside of the FW area, 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:11.600 is just raining. 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:12.200 A lot right now. 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:13.000 Understorms. 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:16.200 It's very cloudy, very dark. It looks like everyone should 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:16.760 be home right now. 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.080 But it's not cold. That's the crazy part. Christmas time, 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.200 and I ran in shorts this morning. It was sixty degrees. 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.040 I was thinking too, with it being raining as hard 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:25.400 as it is. I was like, if it was cold, 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:26.320 we'll be getting a white. 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.560 Christmas right now, yeah or not? Unfortunately not. 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.440 Instead we got summer weather. Anyway, we'll do that summer 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:37.440 walking packers. So let's talk about this offense. I want 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.479 to start with Ceedee Lamb. In this last game, he 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:41.520 had eight targets and seven receptions for one hundred and 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:44.279 five yards. After the game, he made it clear his shoulder, 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:47.920 yeah hurts like it hurts. It's messed up. What are 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.440 your thoughts just on his will to play right now 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.000 and whether it's a good thing. Jerry even mentioned it 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:54.720 this morning on his hit with one on five three 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:56.800 the fan. That's something they're going to keep an eye on, 0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:58.839 and they certainly will leave it up to the player 0:05:58.880 --> 0:05:59.480 to make the decision. 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:00.920 But what do you thought on that? Can I ask 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:03.680 you real quick question on this oneause I know you're 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.480 gonna answer this, But do you think that's affecting him 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:08.040 in second halves of games. 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:11.800 You know, because this was happening the second half production 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:12.560 was happening a way. 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:14.640 Before the shoulder. Ok, carry on, my friend, carry on. 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.280 I uh with with cd. 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:22.560 He's he's been told that he can't hurt it anymore, 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:24.280 so he's just. 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:24.920 Playing through it. 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:26.080 Can't injure it anymore. 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.320 Correct, Yeah, it can hurt some more. Right, you're right. 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:31.400 Let me let me rephrase there. 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:32.840 Injured he is. 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.160 Yeah, he cannot injure it further. He has the sprain 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:38.000 ed ac joint in the shoulder. Every time he lands 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:39.960 on it. You just know whenever he lands on it too, 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:41.760 that he's going to be slow getting up at that 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:44.000 big I think it was the fifty three yard reception 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:46.040 when he came to the ground. I mean we could 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:47.320 all look at each other and be like, oh, that 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.679 one hurt. You know, it did even if he didn't 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.560 have the shoulder injury. But I think I think there's 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:54.599 a couple of things that play here with with cd A. 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.000 He takes a lot of pride in the work that 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.520 he puts in, especially over the off season, and you know, 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.240 him being on his own during the offseason, he took 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:03.400 a lot of pride in the work that he put 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:05.760 in in that in that sense, he has, uh he 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.359 has goals and milestones that he wants to reach personally 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.560 and that requires him playing. And then secondly, you know 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.360 him saying in the locker room after the game, He's like, 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.240 I'm gonna continue to fight with these guys. These are 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:17.640 my brothers, and I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna help them 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.560 try to win games. So you know, that's that's that's 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:22.800 what he gets paid to do, and he's he's doing it, 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:26.880 and I, uh, my hat's off to him, honestly, because 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:29.960 I I I consider myself a competitor, but I don't 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:31.840 think I would be competing if I was in right now. 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:39.400 I understood it before the Cowboys were eliminated from the playoffs, 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:41.480 and even for him to go out and play in 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.160 that game, I'm like, Okay, sure you were preparing as 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:47.800 if you had to play that game. But hearing Jerry 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:51.000 Jones mentioned, hey, we'll live it up to the player 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:53.600 and let him decide however he feels however he wants 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:57.160 to handle these last two games. That's where I'm not 0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:02.040 okay with that, and I don't know if City's sentiment 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.680 continues to be the same as this week got started, 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:10.480 but I would hope it has changed, because again, you're hurt, 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:12.840 you showed what you did, You were there doing what 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:16.000 you needed to do while it matter. And at this point, 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:18.920 there's absolutely no reason for him to be out there 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:22.280 re injuring. We saw it in one of those plays, 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:24.400 in one of the catch that he made, how he 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.040 landed on it and had to come out in pain. 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:29.600 He came back into the game, but still there's no 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:33.360 necessity to have him out there these last two games, 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.720 even if he wanted to. That's where I you step 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.560 in and say, hey, there's nobody someone sit down. 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:40.400 Do you think the front office needs to protect him? 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:41.120 Then I do. 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.240 If there's no way to re injure it, like from 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:47.080 what Nick saying, he's been told that he can't injure it. 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:51.720 Further, we're humans, we have bones, and I don't I'm 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.240 not a doctor, but even if somebody is like, there's 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.320 always a way for you to re hurt something and 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:00.559 re injure something or make it worse. I don't. I 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:03.320 don't know. I don't know if it's I don't know, 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:05.360 but I don't want him out there, sit down. 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.600 Right, Like what you said. I think that's you know 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:11.319 that sometimes people need to step in and protect these guys. 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:13.160 And so this guy takes a lot of pride in 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:16.280 that jersey. He wears that number. He wears. He carries 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:20.000 a big and not a burden, but it carries an 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:23.319 aura of toughness. We were just talking about the hail Mary. 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:29.000 You know, brutal conditions, Grassfield coal tough, got. 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.440 Hicked by a police officer, hopeless. 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:33.920 Yeah, oh no, There's a lot worse things happened in 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:36.600 the seventies. In those games. You goes to sidelines, you're 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:38.280 lucky to get back on the field, and some of 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.080 the sidelines of those games they had head hunting defensive 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.440 backs and stuff like that. But it's a certain amount 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:45.840 of pride that he has and a certain amount it's 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:50.240 a badge of like courage and honor and history with it, 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.480 and I think he I think he looks at that 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:57.240 as something that is important to the legacy of where 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:00.560 that jersey goes. But I do agree with you, I 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.319 do agree with you. I think there's a certain time 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:06.320 that you have to protect the player. And even though 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:11.760 it is a can't hurt it anymore, you know, give 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:15.079 them an opportunity to just sit back and take these 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.000 last two weeks and try and get healed up and 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.320 then make sure that you're off season, that you go 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:23.160 into the off season with like, Okay, now, what's the 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:26.080 next step that we need to do playing football games. Yeah, 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.440 it's important to win games. It's important for Mike McCarthy 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:30.800 to win games. You know, it's important for this coaching step. 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:33.319 Mike McCarthy said something yesterday to you guys, Hey, I 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.840 don't worry about me. I worry about my assistance. You know. 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:39.280 Mike McCarthy's kind of taking care. So it's about winning games, 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:41.240 and these players want to go win games. And we 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:43.719 always laugh that. You know, here we are, we're a 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:46.040 little bit this way. We're signed up for seventeen weeks. 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.600 We signed up, we're working on Christmas Eve. You know, 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:52.000 we're signed up football season. With football season, we football. 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:55.360 But I think you make a really good point that 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:57.959 to me, I think you have to protect the players 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:01.160 sometimes and this would be one of those times to me. 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:06.080 But also more so than you even possibly reinjuring. Let's 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:11.440 say you can get more injured. It's starting the healing process. Now, 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.000 it's allowing you, even if it's two week ahead, like, 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.560 go ahead and start that healing process, because when you 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:20.520 look at the roster and all the injured players, you're 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:22.720 gonna have a lot to deal with for next season. 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:26.680 So why not whatever extra time, even if it's a week, 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:28.600 a week and a half, go ahead and start that 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:29.679 healing process right now. 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:31.960 Well that was I literally just wrote that down because 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:33.719 that was the key for me. I'm not sure. I 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:35.160 don't know if this is going to require any kind 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.240 of surgery, but at the most, at the very least, 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:39.760 it's going to require some sort of rehab and rest 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.880 all those things. The sooner you can start that, the 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:46.360 sooner he's available for offseason workouts. And so from that standpoint, 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:49.000 that's the only area. Like if it wasn't for that, 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:51.400 then I just kind of I do have a belief 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:53.880 that when it comes to football, it is a sport 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:57.320 of attrition, it is a sport of pain tolerance, and 0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:02.040 I think sometimes you have to show yourself, sometimes you 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:04.960 have to show your teammates that my level of pain 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:08.240 tolerance is up there, like I am going to battle 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:11.720 through whatever it is, and that means this becomes a 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:15.559 real opportunity now because of the fact that if he's 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:17.920 hurt and the games don't mean anything, him going out 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:20.760 there and playing really hard, his teammates see that there's 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.800 a lot of credibility he earns in that room from 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.240 being out there right now, in these moments when it 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.800 doesn't matter other than him just being out there to 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:30.040 play football. As teammates. 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.880 I think that he you know, and I think you 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.720 said that very well. I also think that he has 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:37.880 proven that. I don't think I ever have to worry 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.200 about him lining up and play. There's players out there 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:43.360 that you start to hear the whispers, you know, not 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:47.480 knowing the difference between injury and pain, and you know, 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:50.559 and that's the one so concern you, that guy right there. 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:54.280 I would never ever ever think that if if they 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.320 were battling, if they were battling the commanders, if they 0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.360 were still in the hunt, there would not be a 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.040 question at eighty eight would line up and play. There's 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:04.440 no question about that. And I don't think anybody is 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:08.680 ever will ever going forward question the toughness and the 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:12.839 availability of ceed lamb that right there is. That thing 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:13.840 has been taken care of. 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:15.880 No I think that's true, and I agree with that. 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:18.719 I just think that sometimes in life, there you get 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:21.079 presented these oh no you do, you're right about show 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:24.640 your toughness. You'll show how much you're committed to something right, 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:27.559 and if you miss those opportunities, sometimes you can't get 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:27.880 them back. 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:29.360 He signed up for seventeen weeks. 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:31.520 Yeah, exactly, all right, we're going to take our first break. 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:33.680 When we come back, we'll dive inside the brain of 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:37.400 Brian brought us and then if if he leaves some 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.680 of the questions I had on my list for that 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:41.640 final segment, then maybe we'll get to those. We'll do 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:43.559 that when we come back.

Second segment of the Break life in thats 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.920 WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star. This segment's brought to 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.200 you by Blockchain, and it will take you inside the 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:51.120 brain of Brian broad As Brian, what. 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.680 You got all right? Derek Eagleton right off the jump 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:57.800 for the skilled guys, has Turpin replaced Ferguson as your 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:04.479 third most important offensive weapon? Because I say Lamb and 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:07.200 Dowdle are the two most important weapons? 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:14.720 Should he be yes? Should he be yes? Has he? 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:17.720 I don't know that they're using him enough for me 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:19.639 to make that claim. Now I will say this in 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:21.880 this last game, lining him up in the backfield. Actually 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:23.560 liked that and I thought it was even though it 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:26.160 didn't really turn out to be great plays, I thought 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:27.840 it was good and I think it worked with what 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:29.240 they were trying to do, just to give him a 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:31.800 different look. Like if you notice what they did was 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:34.119 because of the personnel package, they were able to get 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:37.120 them to really get all of their get the right 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:39.480 personnel on the field for dubtas and then take advantage 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:41.919 of on that touchdown pass because they had on the 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:47.560 touchdown pass, they then had who was it, I'm trying 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:52.359 to blank number one Tobert. They had Tolbert lined up 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:54.840 and he had a linebackground which allowed him to get 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:56.680 the touchdown right, So you got the matchup you want 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:58.919 it because of the personnel packages when you get a 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:01.320 receiver next receipt on the field, but you line him 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:03.360 up in the backfield. So I love how they're using 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:06.200 him in that way. I don't know, I haven't seen 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:08.520 enough to say they're going to do that regularly enough 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:11.240 for me to say he's replaced Ferguson as the third 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:12.520 offensive weapon. 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:16.840 Nick cars my points I think completely resemble Derek to 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:19.719 my left here, I think it's close, though, Turpin has 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:23.000 really started to gain an influence throughout the season, and 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:24.920 that goes back to training camp. I think quietly he 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:27.200 had one of the best training camps in Oxnard as 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:30.480 far as getting integrated into the offense, and then we're 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:33.800 starting to see that integration from then translate to now 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:37.720 and it's only helped him quite a bit. But the reason, 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:40.239 one more reason I think I would give too is 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:43.159 it would not surprise me if Jake Ferguson had a 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:45.560 one hundred yard two touchdown day at some point. It 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:47.800 would surprise me if Cavante Turpin had a one hundred 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:49.200 yard two touchdown day at some point. 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:53.760 Hamburgercia, I agree with everybody on here. 0:18:55.760 --> 0:19:01.719 I think h ont To Turpin, I feel like he 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:04.840 has taken advantage of the opportunities that he was given 0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:10.000 this season playing on the offense, but I feel like 0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:12.240 he hasn't been enough, and he has those qualities that 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:16.320 can really benefit you in your offense overall because of 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:21.480 his quickness. That's one of the things with Ferguson to 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:25.000 me and I get it. We've had this debate, Derek, 0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:29.840 where you he has had a decent season, but visually 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:33.159 and mentally from what I've seen. It hasn't been memorable, 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:36.159 not that the season has been memorable at all, really, 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:39.280 But as far as I just I there's more to 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:42.680 Jake Ferguson. I think he can do better, and we 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:45.600 didn't really get to see a lot of those great 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:49.320 plays that he has showcase in the past. But I 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:53.040 would say right now it's it's just it's not enough 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:55.640 to say that Turpin has taken over. 0:19:56.440 --> 0:20:01.399 Got you should but he hasn't had a touch in 0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:02.119 like six weeks. 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:03.680 Like I do it, they gave it. 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:04.800 He's like a stunt man. 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:08.680 That project is over. But he gets a lot of reps. 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:12.200 Get a lot of reps. Nick did brock Hoffman struggles 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:14.560 with Vida vea change your thoughts about him being a 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:15.879 full time starter at GUARD. 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:20.960 I don't think I ever fully considered him the full 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:23.840 time starter at GUARD. I think there's gonna have to 0:20:23.880 --> 0:20:27.920 be an influx of competition there over the over the offseason, 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:30.240 whether that is adding a free agent or drafting a 0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:32.359 guy in the first couple of days that can that 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:35.000 can compete for that spot. But yeah, he easily had 0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:37.640 his worst day of the season against Vidave and Colijah Canci, 0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:40.720 both of them Kancy had some wins against him as well, 0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:43.879 but that's one of the better interior defensive lines in 0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:46.639 the NFL. And if you know it's it's better to 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:48.919 struggle now, then if he is the starter next year, 0:20:48.960 --> 0:20:50.680 then the struggle in Week sixteen next year. 0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:55.320 So Ambar, did brock hoffman struggles with Vida Vea and 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:58.280 others change your thoughts about him being a full time 0:20:58.320 --> 0:20:59.080 starter at guard? 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:03.520 No, I don't think so. I think we are all 0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:07.840 humans and we all have bad days. No, But I 0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:12.120 think in the overall everything we've seen for him, I'm 0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:14.359 still more on the positive side of things. I'm still 0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:17.000 intrigued and I want to see more of him. I 0:21:17.119 --> 0:21:21.120 like what I've seen so far overall, and I think 0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:23.399 that the more he gets to be out there, the 0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:26.720 better he's going to get. And that you can say 0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:29.879 about most players around the league, but with him, I 0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:33.160 just he has this aggressiveness that I like about him. 0:21:33.480 --> 0:21:38.320 He has the size and the power and honestly, nothing 0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:42.560 like even with that game, it doesn't change my mind 0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:44.400 and I want to see more Derek. 0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:48.400 Yes, I don't know that it's changed for me just yet, 0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:52.919 because even with a rough day, he's still only allowed 0:21:52.920 --> 0:21:55.800 three pressures in half a sec. So that being said, 0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:57.200 I'm like, I don't I don't know if I would 0:21:57.240 --> 0:21:58.760 all of a sudden be like, oh, well, what he's 0:21:58.760 --> 0:22:01.480 done the last few weeks don't matter. Now here's gonna 0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:03.920 be The big test is this week when he plays Philadelphia. Yeah, 0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:07.080 because he's following that game up with two of the 0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:10.320 best defensive tackles again in the NFL. Sure, and I 0:22:10.320 --> 0:22:12.160 want to see how he reforms there. If it's another 0:22:12.240 --> 0:22:14.920 day where he struggles. Now, it does make me start 0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:18.399 to rethink, mainly because Philadelphia is in your division. You 0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:20.240 have to play them twice a year. Those guys aren't 0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:22.920 going anywhere and if you if you're having bad days 0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:25.920 against them, that's gonna be a problem. And so I 0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:29.560 think the commanders too, Yeah, exactly. Yeah, So I think 0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:31.320 you're gonna have some tests here where you can really 0:22:31.359 --> 0:22:34.320 evaluate him and figure it out. And if he struggles 0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:35.760 and those and I think, yeah, you have to really 0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:37.959 rethink it. If he does really well this weekend and 0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:40.880 or next weekend, then I do think there's some real 0:22:40.920 --> 0:22:43.919 consideration for maybe that's your right guard of the future, 0:22:44.240 --> 0:22:46.119 and and you stick with that, and you kind of 0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:48.520 just start going into this AF season thinking if if 0:22:48.920 --> 0:22:51.359 Zach's gonna move on, he's the guy you're gonna replace him. 0:22:51.520 --> 0:22:54.080 Tell you what, that would give you so much flexibility. 0:22:53.440 --> 0:22:55.680 In the draft, no doubt, Agency, no doubt. 0:22:55.680 --> 0:22:58.800 I'm rooting for Brock. I think he has the makeup 0:22:58.840 --> 0:23:00.359 to be that right guard of the future. 0:23:01.000 --> 0:23:03.399 Would you rather play at center and play BB on 0:23:03.400 --> 0:23:05.800 the other side? From what you know from the college days. 0:23:06.000 --> 0:23:07.480 I do love BB at guard. 0:23:07.880 --> 0:23:09.600 I was I've been I don't know if I've said 0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:11.560 this on on this show, but I've been kind of 0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:13.560 getting back in my draft group chats over the last 0:23:13.600 --> 0:23:15.760 couple of weeks, and we were just kind of riffing 0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:18.480 a few weeks ago and somebody had asked, so, why 0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:22.120 is Cooper BB not playing guard again? It was like, Yeah, 0:23:22.160 --> 0:23:24.119 I kind of forgot that was even a possibility. He's like, 0:23:24.160 --> 0:23:26.000 he was just so good at guard at Kansas State. 0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:28.159 So I think that's something you play with and you 0:23:28.200 --> 0:23:29.919 could figure out at camp if you really wanted to. 0:23:30.280 --> 0:23:32.560 Brian, are you saying that you think and asking that question, 0:23:32.600 --> 0:23:34.880 are you saying you think Brock is a better center than. 0:23:34.840 --> 0:23:36.800 That's what I'm trying to say. I think that maybe 0:23:36.840 --> 0:23:38.480 you would playhim at center, and. 0:23:38.520 --> 0:23:40.359 So it's not so much about BB, it's about Hoffman. 0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:43.960 Maybe that Hoffman would be a better center than guard. 0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:45.919 Because I think BB can play center or guard and 0:23:45.920 --> 0:23:47.399 be great. I think, I really do. 0:23:47.440 --> 0:23:50.960 I think your better combination would probably be Hoffman at center. 0:23:50.800 --> 0:23:55.000 And I think so too. Yeah, it just makes me 0:23:55.040 --> 0:23:59.040 think about it, all right, Ambar, Jordan Lewis is your 0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:00.639 defensive MVP this season? 0:24:03.440 --> 0:24:06.240 That's a question that's like a statement. 0:24:08.400 --> 0:24:11.080 I'm asking a question, Jordan Lewis is your defensive MVP 0:24:11.240 --> 0:24:11.720 this season? 0:24:14.720 --> 0:24:17.879 I would yes, I would say so. There are a 0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:20.920 lot of guys that had done that have done a 0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:24.720 really good things defensively, but he has been the most 0:24:24.760 --> 0:24:28.160 consistent one, the healthier one, the one that has been 0:24:28.200 --> 0:24:34.840 out there and consistently throughout the season. And what's more impressive, 0:24:35.000 --> 0:24:38.240 and we've talked about this in the past, is looking 0:24:38.280 --> 0:24:40.400 at where he's at in his career and seeing how 0:24:40.440 --> 0:24:44.880 well he's playing. I'm saying, looking at he stayed here 0:24:44.920 --> 0:24:47.720 with the Cowboys, the years that he's gone through with 0:24:47.880 --> 0:24:53.280 injuries and not enough playing time, survived year after year 0:24:53.520 --> 0:24:56.399 and still here and this has been so far his 0:24:56.560 --> 0:25:02.320 best career in the NFL. Oh, yes, give him the trophy. 0:25:02.880 --> 0:25:04.840 I love Jordan Lewis. 0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:08.080 Derek, He's my honorable mention. I got to give it 0:25:08.119 --> 0:25:11.160 to Overshown. I know Overshown's missed the games. He's only 0:25:11.160 --> 0:25:12.639 missed the last two games. 0:25:12.720 --> 0:25:13.120 Is that right? 0:25:13.920 --> 0:25:17.160 Two games? So it is. But but I will say 0:25:17.160 --> 0:25:20.399 that throughout the course of this season, Overshown to me, 0:25:20.440 --> 0:25:22.720 has made the plays that that matter. He's made plays 0:25:22.720 --> 0:25:24.880 that matter. And no, don't get me wrong. I actually tweeted, 0:25:25.200 --> 0:25:26.960 I think of all the guys that are going to 0:25:27.000 --> 0:25:28.920 be free agents this year, I think George Jordan Lewis 0:25:29.000 --> 0:25:30.280 is the best of all of them if you look 0:25:30.280 --> 0:25:32.399 at how he played this year. But I think I 0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:34.679 think it's it's kind of overshooting a little bit to 0:25:34.760 --> 0:25:38.320 not acknowledge how great Overshown was for this defense this year. 0:25:38.320 --> 0:25:39.239 I thought he played really well. 0:25:39.240 --> 0:25:41.879 I'd make him the m v P nick, I would 0:25:41.880 --> 0:25:44.560 go with Michael Parsons. Still, I know he missed what 0:25:44.640 --> 0:25:45.440 was it for games? 0:25:45.720 --> 0:25:50.120 Yeah, by week we comeback was revolutionary to this defense. 0:25:50.280 --> 0:25:53.919 That's how important he is. It is if everybody that 0:25:53.960 --> 0:25:56.040 was having those conversations about should they trade him or not, 0:25:56.480 --> 0:25:58.959 I think it became very clear how important he is 0:25:59.000 --> 0:26:00.080 to this defense, right. 0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:00.600 Yeah, I think so. 0:26:00.720 --> 0:26:02.639 And I think if you look game by game, the 0:26:02.720 --> 0:26:04.639 consistency that he's had all season, I think this has 0:26:04.680 --> 0:26:06.520 been his most consistent season since he's been in the 0:26:06.600 --> 0:26:09.720 league as far as generating pressure getting to the quarterback. Now, 0:26:09.720 --> 0:26:11.800 how much of that is benefited by having those five 0:26:11.800 --> 0:26:15.320 weeks off, Who knows, But I think whenever you talk 0:26:15.359 --> 0:26:17.120 about the impact that he has had when he's been 0:26:17.160 --> 0:26:18.720 on and off the field, I'd have to give it 0:26:18.760 --> 0:26:21.120 to Micah, But Jordan Lewis is my close number two, 0:26:21.160 --> 0:26:22.879 and gosh, i'd give Overshown like a two B. 0:26:23.280 --> 0:26:24.320 It's all right there for me. 0:26:25.040 --> 0:26:30.560 Like that, Derek Carl Lawson or Chauncey Golston. If you 0:26:30.560 --> 0:26:31.560 can only afford one. 0:26:31.800 --> 0:26:37.560 Chauncey Golston, why he's younger. I think he gives me 0:26:37.600 --> 0:26:39.800 a little bit more and run defense as well as 0:26:39.840 --> 0:26:42.200 past So I think I'd go with Chauncey. 0:26:43.560 --> 0:26:47.160 I go Chohncey Golston. I like the physical nature he brings. 0:26:47.200 --> 0:26:48.800 He's a little bit more versatile, he can still get 0:26:48.800 --> 0:26:49.400 to the quarterback. 0:26:49.560 --> 0:26:50.359 I would go Chauncey. 0:26:51.480 --> 0:26:55.720 I agree, and my reason is different. It's I see 0:26:55.840 --> 0:27:01.640 him integrate him better with the other guys around here. 0:27:01.720 --> 0:27:05.120 And I'm talking about chemistry and I'm talking like relationships 0:27:05.160 --> 0:27:09.000 in the locker room. Now that there's any conflict or whatsoever, 0:27:09.200 --> 0:27:13.480 I just see the dynamics of that being better with him. 0:27:14.040 --> 0:27:18.000 Is Is he their best free agent offseason signing Chauncey 0:27:19.119 --> 0:27:19.560 last year? 0:27:20.880 --> 0:27:23.560 I would give it to Eric Hendricks, get it. 0:27:24.600 --> 0:27:27.040 Yeah, I'm trying to think of all the free agents 0:27:27.080 --> 0:27:32.000 they brought in Eric Kendricks. It's not a lot of them. 0:27:32.160 --> 0:27:33.600 I'm trying to think of any others. 0:27:33.680 --> 0:27:35.080 Yeah, it's not a lot Kendricks. 0:27:35.119 --> 0:27:38.479 All right, all right, uh ambar, I'll give you this 0:27:38.520 --> 0:27:41.920 one here, this is the final one. Are you worried 0:27:41.960 --> 0:27:45.200 that opponents these next two games, which is now play 0:27:45.240 --> 0:27:48.280 with a loaded box to take away the running game 0:27:48.320 --> 0:27:52.760 for the Cowboys had a lot of problems playing against that. 0:27:52.840 --> 0:27:57.120 Against the Bucks, they just put that extra dude down 0:27:57.160 --> 0:27:59.280 there in there and make you do something else. 0:28:01.000 --> 0:28:05.600 I wouldn't say worried is the right word, because at 0:28:05.640 --> 0:28:10.080 this point I ain't worry about nothing other than other 0:28:10.200 --> 0:28:13.880 than just making sure people stay healthy and we don't 0:28:13.920 --> 0:28:18.480 lose any other key player. Or anybody really due to injury. 0:28:18.880 --> 0:28:22.199 But I would say even with that, even if you 0:28:22.240 --> 0:28:26.160 take the running game away, I'm a little bit okay 0:28:26.640 --> 0:28:31.399 with it because with this last two games, keep trying 0:28:31.680 --> 0:28:34.320 through the air, keep throwing. I want to see what 0:28:34.480 --> 0:28:36.640 you have in the passing game. And I know that 0:28:36.760 --> 0:28:39.960 a lot of the passing game comes from the balance 0:28:40.000 --> 0:28:42.800 that you've been able to find through the running game. 0:28:42.840 --> 0:28:45.720 But we saw it this past weekend against Tampa Bay. 0:28:46.080 --> 0:28:47.760 They took out the running game for you, you were 0:28:47.800 --> 0:28:50.680 still able to manage through the passing game. I would 0:28:50.760 --> 0:28:53.840 rather see what that looks like with the rest of 0:28:53.880 --> 0:28:57.400 the receivers than be so much concerned about you running 0:28:57.440 --> 0:28:59.800 the football in these last two games. 0:29:00.280 --> 0:29:02.960 How about you, Nick, You're worried about them playing loaded 0:29:02.960 --> 0:29:05.040 box against you the next two weeks. 0:29:04.800 --> 0:29:09.600 Well, Tampa Bay told that Cowboys offense, Hey, we're gonna 0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:12.000 have to let Cooper rush beat us, and Cooper rush 0:29:12.040 --> 0:29:13.880 beat them. So I don't think I necessarily have any 0:29:13.880 --> 0:29:19.080 concerns about about that. Granted, better secondary that you'll face 0:29:19.120 --> 0:29:21.880 against the Eagles this upcoming weekend Washington, and it's probably 0:29:22.160 --> 0:29:24.520 around the area of the Buccaneers. It depends on Lattimore's 0:29:24.560 --> 0:29:28.080 health as well, but I think I think Dubdle can 0:29:28.160 --> 0:29:30.240 still get his. But if they ask Cooper rush to 0:29:30.240 --> 0:29:31.959 to have to beat them, he's shown that he can 0:29:32.040 --> 0:29:34.640 do that against against the talented front at least. 0:29:35.320 --> 0:29:37.880 Yeah, I kind of agree with the sentiments there. My 0:29:38.000 --> 0:29:40.560 first question though, is do I have CD. Yeah, because 0:29:40.560 --> 0:29:42.040 if they go to roud of what Amber's saying and 0:29:42.080 --> 0:29:44.920 they sit him down, now, I'm really worried because I 0:29:44.920 --> 0:29:46.920 don't think you have the receivers to really be able 0:29:46.960 --> 0:29:47.320 to take. 0:29:47.160 --> 0:29:48.720 Advantageway in that way, right. Yeah. 0:29:48.760 --> 0:29:51.680 So but if CD's playing, yeah, absolutely, I feel like 0:29:52.360 --> 0:29:54.240 they'll be fine if they take the running game because 0:29:54.440 --> 0:29:55.960 with with what you have to do to take the 0:29:56.040 --> 0:29:59.120 running game away, which is, you know, use extra resources 0:29:59.160 --> 0:30:01.560 down there, that's gonna grace some opportunities.

I'm gonna we'll 0:33:48.760 --> 0:33:50.480 start with the offense. I want you guys to tell 0:33:50.520 --> 0:33:53.360 me if you had one Christmas wish for this team 0:33:53.480 --> 0:33:55.920 going into the future, going beyond where they are right 0:33:55.960 --> 0:33:58.960 now and into the next season, what would that Christmas 0:33:59.000 --> 0:34:03.640 wish be? What makes the biggest difference for them? 0:34:03.320 --> 0:34:03.480 Oh? 0:34:03.720 --> 0:34:08.040 Man, there's there's options here. I would go with a 0:34:08.160 --> 0:34:11.439 legit wide receiver to like I'm talking like a guy 0:34:11.480 --> 0:34:13.759 who could go for a thousand yards in a season. 0:34:13.520 --> 0:34:15.880 A wide receiver one to be out there with your 0:34:15.920 --> 0:34:16.840 wide receiver exactly. 0:34:16.920 --> 0:34:19.480 Yeah, give me a wide receiver one be basically. 0:34:21.960 --> 0:34:24.040 We're gone, We're got to give you a coach. We're 0:34:24.040 --> 0:34:28.200 gonna get the coaching. We're not a coaching offense. His offense. 0:34:28.719 --> 0:34:38.160 I'm talking off it's a personnel. Personnel off personnel that 0:34:38.239 --> 0:34:38.600 was going to. 0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:42.759 Be you could it's this is a really easy one 0:34:42.800 --> 0:34:45.719 for me. It's it's health for your quarterback. That's the 0:34:45.760 --> 0:34:47.919 easiest way. Just get let him you know, when he's 0:34:48.000 --> 0:34:50.200 when he's he played at an m v P level, 0:34:50.200 --> 0:34:52.360 when he was able to play all the games, you know, 0:34:52.400 --> 0:34:55.160 and now now you have some questions about you know, 0:34:55.239 --> 0:34:57.359 his health. Hopefully he'll come back as good as new, 0:34:57.400 --> 0:34:59.480 but you're gonna need you know, you're gonna need him 0:34:59.520 --> 0:35:01.680 to be healthy for you to have legitimate shots. 0:35:04.719 --> 0:35:09.640 M I mean health. Yeah, that applies. And I'm thinking 0:35:09.680 --> 0:35:13.680 of like a healthy city LAMB as well next year. 0:35:16.520 --> 0:35:18.719 Can I just talk about one aspect or don't have 0:35:18.760 --> 0:35:21.360 to point out a single person. You can tell an 0:35:21.400 --> 0:35:27.200 aspect the running game and because that we've seen this 0:35:27.360 --> 0:35:30.160 season was a true showcase of what that looks like 0:35:30.440 --> 0:35:32.480 when you do not have a running game, and when 0:35:32.520 --> 0:35:35.200 your offense and when you're calling bad place, how that 0:35:36.719 --> 0:35:39.399 you struggle in that way. So I think being able 0:35:39.440 --> 0:35:43.640 to have a good balanced offense and starting next year 0:35:43.719 --> 0:35:46.319 with a good running game that you can trust and 0:35:46.360 --> 0:35:48.640 be able to rely on, it's gonna be huge. 0:35:48.840 --> 0:35:51.120 Well can I okay? Instead of saying the play caller, 0:35:51.440 --> 0:35:56.400 could you focus it this way? Modern offense? Like a 0:35:56.520 --> 0:35:59.880 modern like what we what we see in some of 0:35:59.920 --> 0:36:03.080 the these other clubs. Because Mike talks about thirty years 0:36:03.120 --> 0:36:06.080 ago that this was, you know, he brings those things up. 0:36:06.120 --> 0:36:10.040 But I was thinking, like, okay, well, I appreciate that 0:36:10.120 --> 0:36:12.839 thirty years ago. You're right, I was part of Green Bay. 0:36:12.920 --> 0:36:16.200 We ran the similar offense that you ran. But these 0:36:16.200 --> 0:36:19.360 things evolve, you know. I just maybe a more instead 0:36:19.400 --> 0:36:23.120 of just a play caller, maybe a more dynamic offense. 0:36:23.840 --> 0:36:26.080 You know, that's kind of where I would maybe focus 0:36:26.120 --> 0:36:28.040 instead of taking a shot at Mike like I did. 0:36:29.280 --> 0:36:30.960 Well, let's talk about the defense. What will be your 0:36:31.000 --> 0:36:31.840 wish for the defense? 0:36:32.640 --> 0:36:35.239 Bring Mike Zimmer back, that would be my wish for 0:36:35.280 --> 0:36:35.880 this defense. 0:36:37.040 --> 0:36:39.080 He had a quote yesterday that I thought was very interesting, 0:36:40.960 --> 0:36:42.560 and I'll go ahead and throw ou my Christmas wish. 0:36:42.560 --> 0:36:43.560 Why I'm trying to pull this up. 0:36:44.280 --> 0:36:51.080 I will go with a a game changing safety, just 0:36:51.120 --> 0:36:53.680 a three or strong or does it matter either either 0:36:53.800 --> 0:36:55.000 just a game changing safety. 0:36:55.040 --> 0:36:56.080 I start from Georgia. 0:36:56.800 --> 0:37:00.480 Yeah, John A Baron from I think I think he 0:37:00.480 --> 0:37:01.360 could play at safety. 0:37:01.400 --> 0:37:03.640 And then it says he's like our guy Brian Branch 0:37:03.680 --> 0:37:04.280 from Detroit. 0:37:04.360 --> 0:37:06.160 Yeah, and you could. You could put him in the slot, 0:37:06.200 --> 0:37:08.520 you can let him cover there. He can play safety. 0:37:08.560 --> 0:37:09.399 He could do a lot of things. 0:37:09.760 --> 0:37:11.359 Asked me, he goes, if you watched Brian Branch yet, 0:37:11.400 --> 0:37:13.560 I said, yeah, a couple of years ago. No, at Texas. 0:37:13.600 --> 0:37:15.960 The kid that plays at Texas. I was like, oh, okay. 0:37:16.160 --> 0:37:18.080 He brought me up to speed on the kid. Ye 0:37:18.400 --> 0:37:19.000 a good player. 0:37:19.120 --> 0:37:22.960 Yeah, there's there's some uh, there's there's some real comparison 0:37:23.000 --> 0:37:23.640 to be made there. 0:37:24.000 --> 0:37:24.600 So uh. 0:37:24.800 --> 0:37:28.200 Edward Er asked Mike Zimmer yesterday if he's enjoying his 0:37:28.320 --> 0:37:30.719 NFL return, and he kind of laughed and he was like, 0:37:30.760 --> 0:37:33.120 it's been a blast, and he's like, it's been hard. 0:37:33.120 --> 0:37:35.719 I'm not going to lie to you. And followed up 0:37:35.719 --> 0:37:38.960 and asked if he's enjoyed it enough to coach again, 0:37:39.400 --> 0:37:40.880 and he said, we'll see. Let's get to the end 0:37:40.880 --> 0:37:42.360 of the end of the year and see what happens. 0:37:42.480 --> 0:37:44.759 So I think it's also. 0:37:46.120 --> 0:37:48.359 Horses he's got he's got a horse that legitimly can 0:37:48.440 --> 0:37:49.680 run in the Kentucky Derby. 0:37:49.920 --> 0:37:50.240 Wow. 0:37:50.360 --> 0:37:52.279 So he Yeah, we might see Zimmer up there in 0:37:52.440 --> 0:37:57.080 Millionaire's row like like, you know, just antagonizing everybody up there. 0:37:57.160 --> 0:37:59.919 That's incredible. So it's a Zimmer with his horses and skin, 0:38:00.120 --> 0:38:01.200 you know, with the show dogs. 0:38:01.880 --> 0:38:04.160 You know, that's the interesting thing for both for both 0:38:04.239 --> 0:38:08.000 McCarthy and for Zimmer. Both of them have the ability 0:38:08.040 --> 0:38:10.000 to say I don't choose to coach. I don't choose 0:38:10.000 --> 0:38:12.200 to coach here. It's not just the simple thing of 0:38:12.239 --> 0:38:14.400 will the Cowboys have them back? Like they both have 0:38:14.600 --> 0:38:17.120 options as well. So that's that's what's going to make this, 0:38:17.160 --> 0:38:19.960 I think really interesting. Is not so much to cowboys, 0:38:19.960 --> 0:38:22.480 but do they want to be back here for another year? 0:38:23.680 --> 0:38:24.000 Yeah? 0:38:27.480 --> 0:38:33.879 Can I wish for health, for health for everybody? Well, 0:38:33.920 --> 0:38:38.480 I'm trying to think because when we start talking about 0:38:38.520 --> 0:38:41.400 the guys are about to become free agents free agent, 0:38:42.040 --> 0:38:45.720 it becomes a very interesting question because then it leaves 0:38:45.719 --> 0:38:49.400 you with a lot of different holes throughout in all 0:38:49.480 --> 0:38:57.200 three phases. So I would say, can I just mentioned 0:38:57.239 --> 0:39:00.919 free agency, like free agency as a key to how 0:39:00.960 --> 0:39:05.720 the Cowboys handle, uh, this defense, how they reinforced because 0:39:05.800 --> 0:39:09.520 I don't think you can go into relying just on 0:39:10.360 --> 0:39:13.680 young talent and going into the draft and relying on 0:39:13.719 --> 0:39:17.080 the draft. I think that the veteran presence is key 0:39:17.120 --> 0:39:20.320 and necessary, and we've seen that with like Eric Kendricks. 0:39:20.400 --> 0:39:23.400 He's a guy that's about to be free agent, DeMarcus Lawrence, 0:39:23.600 --> 0:39:28.680 Jordan Lewis, Olsaudzua, and there's a list of other guys 0:39:28.719 --> 0:39:30.840 that are about to be free agents as well, and 0:39:30.880 --> 0:39:34.799 that's going to change completely how your defense looks as 0:39:34.800 --> 0:39:39.399 a whole. So I would say managing free agents the proper. 0:39:39.200 --> 0:39:44.600 Way, more cap spaces, a Pro Bowl, one tech m 0:39:45.600 --> 0:39:48.560 Just what do wonders for this defense? That would be incredible? 0:39:49.000 --> 0:39:50.560 That's yeah, that's that's my new answer. 0:39:50.600 --> 0:39:53.000 About a corner opposite Bland that would have. 0:39:52.960 --> 0:39:54.520 Been I think they can figure that out. Yeah, I 0:39:54.520 --> 0:39:55.520 think they can figure that out. 0:39:56.040 --> 0:39:59.040 I think honestly, I think that's that was that to 0:39:59.080 --> 0:40:00.800 me has been a bigger p than anything else this 0:40:00.880 --> 0:40:03.359 season because everyone everyone that wants to talk about, well, 0:40:03.360 --> 0:40:05.200 this team was healthy when they were losing early in 0:40:05.200 --> 0:40:08.279 the season, they forget Deron Plan was not here. And 0:40:08.320 --> 0:40:10.880 I think I think if you look at all those games, 0:40:11.200 --> 0:40:14.080 a lot of the problems started with whoever was opposite Digs. 0:40:14.560 --> 0:40:16.279 That's where a lot of the problems started. Now, they 0:40:16.280 --> 0:40:17.920 had a lot of other problems as well, but I 0:40:17.920 --> 0:40:20.319 think it started with that. And I think and I 0:40:20.360 --> 0:40:23.319 think that's why the injuries matter all seasons, because you 0:40:23.440 --> 0:40:27.080 lost a critical piece in Deny. In my opinion, Ron 0:40:27.120 --> 0:40:29.719 Blands your best cornerback, and I think losing him heading 0:40:29.719 --> 0:40:31.720 into the season, I think that mattered. I think it mattered. 0:40:31.920 --> 0:40:35.040 Well, you have the question marks about Trevon Diggs and 0:40:35.160 --> 0:40:37.640 de Marvin rovers shown how they're gonna come back for 0:40:37.840 --> 0:40:39.160 next season injury wise. 0:40:39.200 --> 0:40:41.279 It thinks it's been two years now, I mean it's 0:40:41.320 --> 0:40:44.640 been it seems like it's been forever since Diggs has played, 0:40:44.760 --> 0:40:47.319 you know, played for you now, two years. I mean 0:40:47.360 --> 0:40:50.320 you really didn't have him this year honestly. 0:40:50.400 --> 0:40:53.480 Yeah, I'm looking at this offseason, I'm saying they might 0:40:53.520 --> 0:40:56.719 need to draft a corner Yeah, relatively early, or at 0:40:56.800 --> 0:40:58.400 least I. 0:40:58.400 --> 0:41:00.640 Thought Carson maybe he can come back, can help, like 0:41:00.680 --> 0:41:01.320 you know, like we. 0:41:01.400 --> 0:41:04.920 Still like him. It was it was a hard walk 0:41:05.360 --> 0:41:06.600 welcome into the NFL. 0:41:06.840 --> 0:41:10.279 No, it absolutely like it was like with Mozzi and Schoonmaker, 0:41:10.360 --> 0:41:12.360 and you know, I mean you threw the word busts 0:41:12.400 --> 0:41:14.799 on those guys. And I know that that Mozzi and 0:41:14.840 --> 0:41:18.160 Schoonmaker are higher drafted guys. But man Carson playing at 0:41:18.160 --> 0:41:21.120 wake Forest was a very good player and he just 0:41:21.160 --> 0:41:23.160 did not show that he you mentioned, it was very 0:41:23.280 --> 0:41:24.960 It was very rude awakening for it. 0:41:25.040 --> 0:41:26.960 They threw him out there real quick. And maybe that's it, 0:41:27.000 --> 0:41:29.000 maybe he just needs more development time, but I know 0:41:29.680 --> 0:41:32.160 it was. It was tough. It was really really tough, 0:41:32.200 --> 0:41:34.120 and I hate to see that happen to him because 0:41:34.120 --> 0:41:36.520 it may have ruined him. It may have mentally because 0:41:36.520 --> 0:41:39.400 the cornerback is one of the positions. I think that mentally, 0:41:39.680 --> 0:41:44.560 your your your level of confidence matters. And I hope 0:41:44.560 --> 0:41:46.280 it doesn't affect him going into the future. 0:41:46.360 --> 0:41:48.520 Let me ask you first round, John A Baron or 0:41:48.560 --> 0:41:50.279 Malachi Starks a guy that could play anywhere in the 0:41:50.280 --> 0:41:52.600 secondary and can just kind of fill a hole wherever 0:41:52.640 --> 0:41:53.400 you need it to happen. 0:41:53.440 --> 0:41:56.759 You don't, Oh yeah, that's an easy one for me. 0:41:56.880 --> 0:41:57.279 It's easy. 0:41:57.480 --> 0:41:59.920 If they got a shot at Baron, I think they 0:42:00.200 --> 0:42:01.799 be foolish not to because I think you can use 0:42:01.840 --> 0:42:03.560 them in so many ways on this defense, and it 0:42:03.600 --> 0:42:05.720 can help you in so many different ways on this defense. 0:42:06.080 --> 0:42:07.359 I think that that will be the big one. 0:42:07.360 --> 0:42:10.200 You're potentially parachuting. Get them, might have some fun there. 0:42:10.280 --> 0:42:13.080 We'll see draft show in two weeks. 0:42:13.440 --> 0:42:16.640 All right, real quick, just overall, this can be anything. 0:42:16.680 --> 0:42:19.319 This can be, this can be free agency, this can 0:42:19.360 --> 0:42:22.000 be you know, whatever you want it to be. Just overall, 0:42:22.040 --> 0:42:24.080 what would be your wish for this team? 0:42:24.680 --> 0:42:30.759 Huh? Overall wish man? Go ahead, go ahead? 0:42:30.840 --> 0:42:34.680 No, I was sitting there thinking, listen, this is and 0:42:34.719 --> 0:42:37.160 I don't know if this is gonna happen. If they 0:42:37.239 --> 0:42:40.640 make a coaching change, please let it be extensive. 0:42:41.400 --> 0:42:44.520 Please just just go just are you you say you 0:42:44.520 --> 0:42:45.440 mean clear the whole slate? 0:42:45.560 --> 0:42:48.080 No, no, no, going there with the attitude is we're 0:42:48.160 --> 0:42:49.319 not interviewing one guy. 0:42:49.400 --> 0:42:51.279 Oh, I see what you're saying. I give you go 0:42:51.320 --> 0:42:52.160 and interview everybody. 0:42:52.200 --> 0:42:53.880 Yeah, go in there and go in there and figure 0:42:53.880 --> 0:42:56.080 it out. And even if you're don't interested in some guys, 0:42:56.120 --> 0:42:58.399 talk to and get some ideas and stuff like that, 0:42:58.440 --> 0:43:01.239 don't don't let it happen. And over dinner, you know, 0:43:01.320 --> 0:43:02.920 and the next thing you know, you got a coach 0:43:03.200 --> 0:43:05.239 I mean, now, maybe that's they maybe they got a 0:43:05.280 --> 0:43:08.040 guy in mind already. But my wish is, if you're 0:43:08.120 --> 0:43:12.319 going to make a coaching change, please let it be 0:43:12.440 --> 0:43:15.480 extensive and and and and talk to all the candidates. 0:43:17.000 --> 0:43:21.719 I would say for me would be to please address 0:43:21.920 --> 0:43:24.120 all the issues that you need to address. And I 0:43:24.160 --> 0:43:28.200 know that's very widely and there's a lot to that, 0:43:28.280 --> 0:43:32.799 and it's hard to address every single thing, but that 0:43:32.880 --> 0:43:36.960 we're we go into training camp knowing exactly what we 0:43:37.120 --> 0:43:39.960 have in the sense that you address certain situation As 0:43:40.000 --> 0:43:42.279 an example, are we gonna be sitting there and I 0:43:42.320 --> 0:43:44.320 know Michael Parsons came out saying he's not gonna be 0:43:44.360 --> 0:43:47.719 holding out or anything, and he's gonna be showing up 0:43:47.719 --> 0:43:51.520 at training camp, But are we sitting there wondering and asking, Hey, 0:43:52.040 --> 0:43:54.279 is Michaeh Parson's gonna show up here? Is it gonna be? 0:43:54.320 --> 0:43:54.400 Like? 0:43:54.480 --> 0:43:56.080 Take care of what you need to take care so 0:43:56.120 --> 0:44:00.400 that even if the season goes to crap again, you 0:44:00.960 --> 0:44:04.759 feel good that you really tried ahead of time to 0:44:04.880 --> 0:44:08.320 prepare yourself the best that you could. So that would 0:44:08.320 --> 0:44:11.600 be my wish. It's hard to accomplish all and fill 0:44:11.640 --> 0:44:14.800 all the areas but I would say handle free agency 0:44:14.840 --> 0:44:16.920 how you need to address everything that you need through 0:44:17.360 --> 0:44:20.000 through the draft, and then take care of the contract 0:44:20.080 --> 0:44:21.640 that you need to take care of. You already did 0:44:21.840 --> 0:44:25.560 dak CD. And the question mark now is Mika Parsonson's 0:44:25.800 --> 0:44:26.960 what's gonna happen with him. 0:44:27.560 --> 0:44:30.279 I'm not gonna ask for much here from the wish. 0:44:30.280 --> 0:44:32.400 I'm like the forty five year old man that just 0:44:32.400 --> 0:44:35.080 needs socks, and I really just need the socks, Like, babe, 0:44:35.120 --> 0:44:36.000 just get me the socks. 0:44:36.000 --> 0:44:36.680 That's all I need. 0:44:38.160 --> 0:44:41.000 Overshown comes back and he's one hundred percent. Honestly, the 0:44:41.000 --> 0:44:42.880 health of this team comes back and it's one hundred 0:44:42.880 --> 0:44:46.200 percent and it stays. That would be mine because when healthy, 0:44:46.680 --> 0:44:47.680 this team is a competitor. 0:44:47.719 --> 0:44:49.319 It really is. We saw that last year, so. 0:44:49.520 --> 0:44:50.200 I'm with you on that. 0:44:50.440 --> 0:44:50.719 All right. 0:44:50.760 --> 0:44:52.480 We appreciate you, guys, Jon and Goaues. We want you 0:44:52.480 --> 0:44:54.880 guys have a merry Christmas or whatever you sell it. 0:44:55.680 --> 0:44:58.239 A happy Yeah, I have a happy holiday season. We 0:44:58.280 --> 0:45:01.320 will be back on Thursday and we'll start looking forward 0:45:01.560 --> 0:45:03.879 Cowboys versus Eagles till they in for Nick Harris. Brian 0:45:03.920 --> 0:45:05.600 brought us an Amber Garcia. I'm Derek Ealts and this 0:45:05.640 --> 0:45:12.080 has been the Break live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. 0:45:12.120 --> 0:45:15.040 This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and 0:45:15.200 --> 0:45:18.160 the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
