You know what I'm saying. 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:34.720 I think the true story is he saw the l 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.600 Collins got signed to the pressure that and how much I. 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:38.400 Have a chance. 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:42.039 Out of the bag. 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:42.400 Yeah. 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.440 I walk past the scouts every day and I'm just like, hey, hey, 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:46.359 ten day contract. 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:48.040 Huh, let's go give me that. 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:50.600 For the playoffs? 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:50.840 Right? 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:51.240 Ye? 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.720 All I need is one play on film and they 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:56.919 can put me an I R that's it, man, I 0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.000 mean just what what play would it be? 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:00.560 You could be yeah? 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:03.839 Oh no, I. 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:10.560 Was thinking, oh yeah, so mean I might have at 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:11.760 least a couple of players left in me. 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:12.760 I kickoff? 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:13.880 You want to kick off? 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:15.760 Most kickoffs are out the back of the end zone now, 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:17.080 so it's really just running down. 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.640 It was just jogging. I've got to kickoff if I 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.800 need it. I think I can make it happen. 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:27.440 My strategy, sir, I'm just trying to like affoid everyone 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:28.360 at this point. 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:29.920 They just need to just take kick off out the game. 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.400 I don't like the fair catch going up to the 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:33.960 twenty twelve. No matter where you are. 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.080 As a former kick returner in the NFL, I missed 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:40.920 seeing kickoffs. Yeah, like like genuine kickoff returns where the 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:43.240 kickers are struggling to get it to the goal line 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.120 and you actually have a chance to return the ball. Like, 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:47.080 that's the aspect of the game that's missed. 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:48.120 A single one. 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:49.880 Changing. 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:51.600 They need to change it. They need to change it back. 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:54.359 So during the I remember in the owners meeting, they 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:57.039 told that all the coaches that were the owners to 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.320 tell the coaches to come up with a concept that 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:03.719 you can that they can implement to change the beginning 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:04.279 of the games. 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:08.400 Yeah, it's all competition committee early stages. They like, they 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.480 just haven't had a proposal yet. That makes sense, So 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:12.120 I could tell. 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:13.400 I'll give you one right now. Okay. 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.880 The most dangerous aspect of the kickoff return portion of 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.320 the game, trust for somebody who was actually on kickoff 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:23.320 and kickoff return, was the crackbacks. If they take away 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.480 the crackbacks in terms of your blocking schemes on the 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:30.120 kickoff return side of things, then the injuries go away, 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:34.119 the concussions go away. Like the probability of you running 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:37.400 down and getting a concussion on kickoff is so much 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:39.680 lower if you just take out the crackback. 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:41.520 Because the crack back, I don't see it right. 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.159 We used to actually have plays that were like like 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:47.520 design crackbacks, like we're coming out, We're about to play you, Kyle, 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.120 and you were a madman on kickoff and you were 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.479 just back there just hitting everybody and making tackles. 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:54.320 You know underneath the twenties I was I know you 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:54.760 were a beast. 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.920 So we would design plays to like kind of put 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.440 some smoke over here, right, and get your attention over here, 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:02.520 and then we will bring somebody around to knock you out, 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.240 literally like take him out. 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:10.840 So we would yeah, were flashing, we will. 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:12.600 Flash over here and get your eyes over there, and 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.080 it will bring somebody from the other way to simply 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:19.200 just send you, send you to happy land, okay, and 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:20.560 then we will hope that you get up, but like 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:22.280 we'll send you a happy land, right. So, like, if 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.440 you take that aspect of twitty Birds, absolutely the tweety 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:28.720 birds right, find your happy place, happy Gilmore style. So 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.240 if you take that aspect out the game, thennis just 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:33.720 all head up, because as a front line guy on 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.520 kickoff return, you're literally sprinting back twenty five yards, you're 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:39.880 turning around, you're buzzing your feet, and then you're using 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.680 your hands and you're you're literally just fudding up with 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:44.480 somebody and you're trying to get good fits so that 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:46.120 you can block them in the direction that you want 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:48.160 them to go. They already took the wedge out. The 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.440 wedge was here when I was here as well. That's 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:52.120 aspects gone. So if you take the wedge out, if 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:54.000 you take the crackbacks out, at least you still have 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:58.720 good kickoff returns. Now it's just about blocking and fits, right, Yeah, 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:01.120 the contact aspect is gone, or I mean in kicking, 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:02.840 like there's not that many guys that get. 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:04.920 The run free all the way down the field. 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.080 Some of these alternate leagues have come up with some 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:11.080 fun stuff, like the XFL that's my favorite one, the 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:13.840 one where they basically start ten yards apart five I 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.360 don't like, is it five yards apart five yards close 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:18.800 and the kickoff the kicking team is at the thirty 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:19.600 five yard line. 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:21.400 Return team is at their own thirty Yep. 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:23.600 Yeah. I was a part of the yards apart. 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:25.720 I was a part of the relaunch of the xfls 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:27.920 working in the front office for the Renegades at the time, 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:29.840 so I was a part of like being one to 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.319 communicate all those rules to the fans, you know, in 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:35.080 terms of the fan engagement, I didn't like it. I 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:38.800 mean because, like again, coming from somebody who it is, 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:41.440 I much rather it be that way than what it 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:43.719 is right now here in the NFL. Sure, so I 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:46.160 would take that as an alternative to what we currently have, 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:48.680 but I still don't like it. I just rather in 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.640 terms of injuries, just take out the wedge that's gone, 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:54.559 take out the crackbacks. Now you just have genuine I'm 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:56.160 running down and I have to try to beat my 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:57.200 man who's trying to block me. 0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:57.560 Yeah. 0:08:59.160 --> 0:08:59.960 I like the XFL. 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:04.440 I do like because there's more opportunities run. 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:08.040 The balls kicked exactly well, then turns turf into a 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.040 lethal guy man because then you can actually have return 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:13.439 if he breaks one tackle. 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:15.800 I like it from I like it from the fans perspective, right, 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:17.640 So from the XFL side, Yes, I love it from 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:20.199 the fans perspective because there's a higher probability of getting 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:24.440 a solid kickoff return from the assignment side from the 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.880 actual players. I hate it for kickoff teams. 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.920 Yeah, I just think it brings you more variety and 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.800 like where the offense is starting. I think the XFL 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:36.319 rule does that because it's you're always just expecting Okay, 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:39.000 here's an eighty yard drive, here's in seventy five yard drive. 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:42.440 Here we go. I didn't necessarily have the It does 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:44.640 spice it up a little bit, but I didn't necessarily 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:49.920 have the kicking situation. The kickoffs debate on the docket today. 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:52.040 I like it, though, I would think it is a debate. 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:53.880 I would love to see what a Bill Belichick does 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:55.600 with a rule change like that. 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:57.480 You know what I'm saying, they have to change something 0:09:57.480 --> 0:09:59.960 because right now, right now, that's been around for a while. 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.240 Yeah, it reinvents, it reinvents the game. 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.760 When you have a mastermind right now, you you would 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:07.360 much rather watch an extra point right now than a kickoff. 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:08.040 That's true. 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.960 Yeah, yeah, because it's at least you get points. 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.880 Why over the national anthem and then let's kick off? 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.199 Well even the okay, all right now, it's time to 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:17.800 get in your seat and hang out for. 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:21.240 Even the XFL's extra point system is better. I feel 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:22.400 like in the what it. 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:22.800 Used to be. 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.640 Yeah, I agree, Yeah, I think some of those real 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:26.559 changes have worked out. 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:29.800 Yeah, just a little bit further one two and something. Yeah, 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:31.680 there's a one point conversion, two point and a three 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:32.360 point conversion. 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:32.800 John. 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:34.520 I remember John saying this multiple times. 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:36.440 He's like, yeah, whenever the extra point comes up, I'm 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.800 not even really watching, Like I disagree, I'm watching. 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:41.760 Now unless you're watching to her, you know what I'm saying. 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:42.319 Yeah, that's fair. 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.280 Let's not talk about that going to the playoffs. Let's 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.640 not bring that back up, all right. He does play 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:52.920 for the Rams, so any good point? Good point? 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:53.400 Uh. 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:57.360 The Cowboys made some following transactions on Thursday. As a 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:00.960 part of our News and Notes segment. They signed Lyle Collins, 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.560 Damian Wilson, Racy McMath, and Sir Roderick Thompson to the 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:07.640 practice squad. We talked about McMath and Thompson yesterday. We 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.839 talked about Wilson and Collins the day before on this show. 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.360 In order to make room on the practice squad, they 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:17.160 had to release a quad of guys Martavis Bryant, Tyrone, 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:21.080 Billy Johnson, Adam Pankey, and Willington Prevalon. Panky was a 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:24.600 guard and Willington Prevalon was a defensive tackle. Both Bryant 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:26.599 and Billy Johnson world wide receivers. 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:27.840 How do we feel? 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:29.400 What? 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:30.400 What are you looking at me for it. 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.280 Just know that you and Nick were talking about the 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.760 potential of Martavis Bryant getting in the game, when the 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:39.679 probability of that happening before Collins. That was a conversation 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:43.040 at the beginning of a week, and we said Collins. 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:45.240 Was more likely. Yeah for sure, I know. We were 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:46.680 all agreems. Okay. 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.560 I was like, yeah, like, yeah, well that it was 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:51.800 because it was a big name, Martavis Bryan I mean, 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.160 they brought him in, apparently he looked good early on, 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:56.360 and it's just a crowded room. 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:57.960 It's one of those things where. 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:01.920 Tolbert stepped up, Cooks is there, Gallup is still Gallup 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.480 to a certain extent, and you've got tight ends that 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.520 you trust at the same time. So I think for 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:10.000 Brian it was just bad timing and they've got young 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:13.200 guys that they would rather invest in on the roster, 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:16.199 on the practice squad than maybe. 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:18.839 But just him for making the practice squad, I think 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.600 that's that's an amazing accomplishment and come back after so 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:23.280 long and do what he did. 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:27.840 What But obviously the Baltimore Ravens listened to our podcast, 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:31.080 Yes I heard you. Wow, So what are your thoughts 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:31.680 now yep. 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:36.000 So Dalvin Cook signs with the Baltimore Ravens. Apparently, according 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:39.240 to Schefter, the Cowboys were interested. I haven't heard anything 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:43.079 specifically from from my end, but whenever it comes to 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.679 Dalvin Cook, it was a possibility, and I think it 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.679 was more so just a fit than anything because Dallas 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:52.800 is depth wise a little short on running backs, hasn't 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:57.679 necessarily had a jolt of confidence going into the playoffs 0:12:57.800 --> 0:12:59.880 with the guys that are toting the rock. The jolt 0:12:59.880 --> 0:13:02.200 of confidence though, as Rico Daddle was back this week, 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:05.920 and I just don't think they wanted to. I think 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:07.880 if they were going to bring in Dalvin Cook, they 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:09.840 would have brought him in for a workout and and 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.840 worked him out first, just to kick the tires see 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:13.360 how he is. 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:14.200 Uh. 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:16.719 Instead, the Ravens I think just signed him straight up 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:18.960 and they waited added to a loaded backfield too, They. 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:23.600 Waited approximately seven minutes after he made claim or he 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:25.800 didn't get claimed, and uh and signed him right away. 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:27.320 And you know, good for them and good for him. 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.000 Hopefully he uh sure makes a deep playoff run or 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:33.320 hopefully not. Dare the battlefield. Have you seen some of 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:34.719 the guys that they've got back there. 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:35.680 Let me see if I can pull it. 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:37.000 Up real quick. Men, there are another team that just 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:40.600 loads up on talent for no reason. That pretty much interesting. 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:45.760 Yeah, running back room after adding Dalvin Cook, Gus Edwards, 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:49.600 Justice heel Hill, Melvin Gordon, the third Dalvin Cook, and 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:52.480 then on injured reserve they have JK. Dobbins and Keaton 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.959 Mitchell and then also not to mention their quarterback, Lamar 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:57.640 Jackson is pretty darn good. 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:00.839 At running bollved not bad, not bad. 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:04.320 He's probably gonna be MVP running back. Other than that, 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:08.439 a couple guys did not practice yesterday, eight in total 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.080 for the Cowboys. A couple of them don't. Don't worry 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:15.560 too much about Zach Martin rest, Tyrone Smith rest, Janya 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:17.040 Thomas was with an illness. 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:19.920 Tyler Smith was still on the bands yesterday. 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:24.520 Dealing with a foot, did not practice, ankle and illness. 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.880 Did not practice from Alik Hooker, that's probably a concern. 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:30.000 And then a couple guys popped up that were. 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:34.680 Fine on Wednesday and then ended up going into Thursday 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:38.840 as a d NP. Chauncey Golston, Chuma Adoga and Dornce 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:42.280 Armstrong for Golston it was an illness, Adoga it was 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:45.720 an illness, and then Dornce Armstrong was an ankle injury. 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:49.440 Those were the up updates that something's going around. 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.600 Yeah, I saw you going around. Get it out of 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:56.120 the way now, right. Rico Dowdell was a full participant, 0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:00.600 so was Villiami Fajoko, and then Jonathan Hankins was limited 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:02.080 again yesterday. 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.160 What do you think, Billy Amojoko? What are they trying 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:05.200 to do with him? Are you think they're trying to 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:06.240 get a look at him for next year? 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:07.800 Possibly? 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:11.360 I think they're gonna just want depth on the defensive front, 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:12.720 if I'm being honest. 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.080 But he's a d N. He's a d N. 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:18.560 But I think they want him to move inside. I 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.160 don't know that for sure, you think right now? Huh? 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.280 He was a tweener coming out. I mean he was 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:26.160 like too eighty two ninety. He could he could add 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:28.080 on some more coming out. Let me see if I 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:31.160 can find those exactly smaller than Mazi right now? Yeah, 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:34.480 he's smaller than Mazzi. He was. He was a defensive 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:39.880 end at San Jose State or San Jose. But with 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:42.720 with where they're going, I think they may want him 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:43.280 to move inside. 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:46.560 Guy says, say a lot. Yeah, what do you think 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:46.960 you're telling me? 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:48.840 He goes, he always. 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:52.160 Asks these poking questions really back to me where he's like, 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:55.160 so you think you think they're just getting a look 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:58.040 at him and then they'll just let him go, Like Isaiah, 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:00.000 I don't want to say that here. Guys, come on, now, 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.360 what do you think he really wants me to ask 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:03.760 the question? 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:05.480 It is Friday. I mean, you're supposed to stay with 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:05.840 your chest. 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:09.040 I don't know what they're doing with him, honestly, Yeah, 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:11.479 that has no knock on his abilities. 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:14.440 It's a very deep position. 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:18.680 He was seventy five coming out of school at the Combin. 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:20.200 I'm curious as to what he might be right now. 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:22.280 But yeah, I think he may be a little bigger 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:23.280 out of San Jose State. 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:26.560 I don't know, I missed a very stacked position. 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.080 I mean, you forgot that you even had Dante Fowler 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:30.760 on this team, no disrespect to him, and he shows 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:31.800 up last week You're like, oh. 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:32.320 Crap, I forgot. 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:34.560 He's been showing out, yeah, a couple of times, a 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:36.960 few times this season, more than a few. I mean, 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.840 he's he's been solid. I'd say yeah, but you. 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:42.560 Almost forget that he's there. At least me, I forgot 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:44.000 that he was there, and I was like, oh, crag, Colin, 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:45.320 I are watching the game. I'm like, oh, shoot, look 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:45.760 at that dude. 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:46.600 Hey, look there. 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:50.040 You got Armstrong, you got him, you got Micah, I mean, 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:51.280 you got you got the Law. 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:52.680 I mean, you got a lot of dudes in that position. 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:53.080 So it was hard. 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:55.480 He got Sam Williams. It's hard to break that lineup. 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:58.320
