So so so here it comes. 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.600 The Saints are in town. Okay, the buddh is right 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.600 next to us. A lot of Saints fans. Yeah, they're 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.600 gonna be paired, so they will they will acquire tickets, 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:46.239 so it will be a fun game here. The Saints 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:50.480 dismantled the Carolina Panthers forty seven to ten at home. Okay, 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.440 just looking at the numbers. For Derek Carr, he didn't 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:55.560 have to do much. A nineteen or twenty three for 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:58.280 two hundred yards. He had three touchdown passes in the 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:00.959 game and had a quarter back rating a one forty 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:04.800 two point five, so he just had to do his part. 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.960 This was a team when they're sure, but Derek Carr 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.520 is a guy that we have seen through the years. 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:15.480 There's some good and there's some some big ugly brother 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:17.679 what is this the right? 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.040 Yes? Yes, and heck mo. 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:23.720 When you look at Derek Carr, what are the things 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:27.000 that concern you that you say, all right, what do 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.360 we what are the cowboys and defensively need to be 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.000 looking at for against number four? 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:33.240 Look, I've been one of those people in Derek Carr's 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:36.000 career that has looked at him like an adequate quarterback. 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.080 He has had his feelings and it's been because he's 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.360 had a poor offensive line. Him and his brother got 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.040 a lot in coming in that way, hit a lot. 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:48.040 Oh yeah, it got smacked his brother, David Carr, NFL 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.720 Network analysts. But you know, Derek Carr has been one 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:53.920 of those guys that has never been considered amongst the elite. 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.160 But his numbers, if you look at his numbers, and 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:58.960 through his career he's had some pretty good numbers. But 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:02.160 in New Orleans, he still is a victim of the 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:04.680 same things that plagued him when he played for the Raiders. 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.000 If you touch him, he will fumble the ball. And 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.680 so one of the things that also is in his 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.000 favor is the fact that he's one of those guys 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:15.080 now and that has gotten into his career and he's like, 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.760 I need a running game to go with what my 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:21.320 strengths are. And him and Alvin Kamara present a challenge 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:23.600 and are going to present a challenge to a lot 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:27.520 of teams in the NFC South. The Saints, they have 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.760 a offensive coordinator and Koubiak that pressure you at. 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:31.480 The line of scrimmers. 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.480 They are going to play twenty one, They're gonna put 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:35.800 tight ends on, They're gonna overload you. And what he 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.680 also loves to do is do a lot of motion BC, 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.800 you know as well as anybody offensive coordinators that use 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:46.000 a lot of motion or trying to find out what 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.800 right and the whole thing is to try and out 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:53.400 leverage you. And so when I watched the Carolina Panthers tape, 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.640 the problem that I had one the Carolina Panthers are 0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:58.880 not gonna be very good this season, Okay, and not 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:02.360 to jump on that trund, but they out leveraged them 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:03.960 in a lot of ways. And it wasn't just what 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:05.800 he did those three touchdowns that he threw. And he 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.080 threw some dots, Okay, he threw some dots and some 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.599 great ones, great throws, but it was one hundred and 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:13.800 eighty yards on the ground that really has me more 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:17.360 concerned about what I see from the Saints. And this 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.520 is a game guys that I feel like your interior 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:22.479 defensive line is definitely gonna be challenged because Derek Carr 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:23.480 can't make all the throws. 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:25.080 Yeah, you said, it's something interesting right there. 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.719 You said, the motions, the shifts, they're gonna try to 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.520 play with the eyes of the defenders for the Dallas Cowboys. 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:31.800 And now they got some young pups in there. 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.119 When you talk about the interior defensive line with Mazi, 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:37.240 then you talk about the second level with Overshown and Yafu. 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:38.840 Those guys out there, they're gonna try to play with 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:40.920 their mind. They're gonna go ahead and get you trying 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.160 to figure out what you're in, like the motion, short. 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:44.760 Motion, law motion? Are they a man and man? Are 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:45.680 they in zong coverage? 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:47.400 They're gonna try to play with those guys' eyes. And 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.760 you know what Mariy Nelly always said, you see a lot, 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:51.560 you see a little, you see a little, you see 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:54.520 a lot. So to me, that front seven for the Cowboys, 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:56.400 they will be tested. They will be tested in this 0:05:56.480 --> 0:06:00.000 situation because they have two backs over there. In my opinion, 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.400 Union they may not be what they weren't once was 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:04.560 talking about Kamorrow and Williams. 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:05.279 But they still are a threat. 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.599 They still are a threat in the backfield, especially tomorrow 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.720 when you talk about being a receiver out of the backfield. 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:11.200 And then they got the tight end as well. I 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:14.799 believe his last name is Monroe Foster Moreau. Foster Moreau, 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:17.400 he believes got to can cuss your head. He may 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:21.000 not seek that'll be a matchup now. They were able 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:22.279 to handle it in Djoekup, but I think a lot 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:23.520 of that had to deal with the pressure and they 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:26.200 were just harassing Watson out there, so he couldn't take 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.560 advantage of that mismatch right there. But to me, it's 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:30.560 going to be another game where that front seven has 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:32.760 got to be huge. They're gonna get after Derek Carr. 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:34.920 And if you can get after Derek Carr, that man 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:35.880 can see ghosts back there. 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:42.039 When we've seen it a hundred he's getting feet around. Man, 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:44.560 they're right next to me all the way over there. Man, 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:45.200 you was good. 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.720 But you can get him seeing ghosts, and you can 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:49.440 get him trying to get that ball out before he 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:51.960 gets hit. That's when the turnovers start happening. And I 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:54.160 believe that's what the Cowboys are focused on doing. When 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:55.600 you go against the New Orleans Saints. 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.760 I looked at the numbers here and he thank you 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:02.960 for it. Up thirty seven runs to twenty four passes. 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:06.680 This is just the sign of a team that overwhelmed 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.520 the other team. So if you if you're a Saint fans, 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:11.680 I don't don't get too drunk off this one. You 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.160 got to face Carolina. The Cowboys are gonna get Carolina 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:16.760 in December. So this looks like you know that you 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:20.160 know this, you know, like that pencil into that homecoming game. 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:28.920 Don't say Florida and yeah, right right, So this looks 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:31.400 like that kind of game, a home coming out. 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:35.800 So yes, Nate Newton, Yeah, proud Florida and rattling along 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:39.040 with Pam Oliver or Fox Sports. So don't you know, 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:42.560 saintan fan, don't get too excited. The challenge steps up 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:45.000 this week for you. They've got a left tackle that 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.040 is a rookie as well out there. Yeah, and so 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.000 this is another opportunity for Mike Zimmer to go ahead 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:50.600 and turn it up. 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:52.840 One of the things that I had. 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:56.920 Spoke to Trevon Diggs and Patrick Walker of Dallas Cowboys 0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:58.920 dot Com. We were there with some other people and 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:01.840 Trayvon Digs told me he said, we got a whole 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:03.840 lot we didn't show. 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:05.600 Then I asked mikeabiny whim. 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:08.240 I said, we probably showed maybe four or five looks 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.200 of what we can. So there's a lot in the 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:14.400 bag that Mike Zimmer did not uncover that on Monday. 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:16.400 He kind of made I got some other Micah packages 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:20.720 just didn't get to didn't need to. So another young 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.440 left tackle out here, he needs to see a whole 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:26.280 eleven needs to be giving that work. Welcome to the league, 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:30.040 sign welcomer, Welcome rook here. I am so I look 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:31.760 at that aspect of the Cowboys of what they can 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:35.320 do here, and I just I echo what you said 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:37.120 about Derek Carr. Derek Carr is that guy that if 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.400 you make him uncomfortable, Yeah, he will get very uncomfortable. 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:41.280 Carolina. 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:43.800 Do y'all think real quickly, do y'all think you know 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:46.360 they only showed whatever he said four or five different packages. 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:48.439 Do y'all think that could be a good thing because 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:51.120 it allowed those young guys, those young defenders out there 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.800 to just play fast like they weren't worried about thinking 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:55.560 and oh if this motion happens, I got a check 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:58.160 to this and the communication was crisp those guys, those 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.000 guys the communication was out. There was no big time 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.160 explosive plays. So do you think that could be a 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:04.280 good thing? Or if they're going to show more and 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:06.640 more as a season progressors that'll make these young guys 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:08.800 thinks a little bit more and play a little bit slower. 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:09.880 Like, what are your thoughts on that? 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:13.040 The whole thing that you said is communication, and I 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:16.439 think for coach Zimmer, one of his staples has always 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:20.319 been as the way that he disguises, coverages and confuses 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:24.520 offenses and quarterbacks specifically. But you know how much not 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:27.080 only the communication but repetition that you have to do 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:29.440 to make rookies are guys that are new to the 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:32.600 NFL comfortable in the new sets that they're in. You 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.560 have to be able to take those helmets out off, 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:36.800 go to the field, be able to walk through and 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:39.240 be able to hey, when they line up like this, 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:41.319 we're going to do this. And so with him being 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:43.040 able to say, look, we hadn't even shown half of 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:46.040 the looks that we have, I think that's a positive 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:49.720 because then what happens is, you know in the NFL, 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.080 is they prepare for you, They make adjustments, they know. 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:54.040 So the tape is going to be out now on 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.839 Zimmer on how he wants how he wants to use Michael. 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:58.880 So that's my only thing I think if there's more 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:02.719 in the bag. Oh, I can't wait. I can't wait 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:04.840 to see how they use Michael but in this in 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.199 this game, as you were talking about the left tackle, Newie, 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:09.640 I think that when you see this offensive line for 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:13.319 the Saints in All twenty two, they moved together. And 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.400 that's why I say Mozzi is going to be It's 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:17.200 gonna be very important for Mazi to be able to 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.840 stick and stay and not get moved where he gets 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:22.320 in troubles when he gets turned and gets pushed up 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:25.480 the field, and then your linebackers are rendered helpless because 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.640 you now have a guy six y five, three hundred 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:30.800 pounds to the second level, so you're not able to 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:33.240 see that speed from overshown. And that's what I saw 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:35.920 in the in the Carolina Panthers game that I thought 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.040 that the Saints did really well in their center. 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:39.440 Eric McCoy. 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:42.120 Man very mobile as a center and as a guy 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.079 that likes to chip block and get to the second level. 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:48.760 Man shows fast out there. He will roll the rolling 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:50.480 wow wow wow wow. 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:54.000 And for a guy having his first NFL regular season game, 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:55.959 and just think of what will happened for him as 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:57.040 he starts to get more and more. 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:57.800 Comfortable out there. 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:01.760 The heck going back to the front game, because we 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:03.120 thought Cleveland would try. 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:04.920 No offensive tackle was out there. 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:07.959 You know, after the first drive ten straight drives where 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.880 they did nothing with the football, six punts, two picks, 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:15.719 and four two drives that ended up and downs. We 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:19.320 saw Alvin Kamara fifteen carries eighty three yards and a touchdown, 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.320 Jamal Williams, who came home from Detroit, eleven carries thirty 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:23.200 eight yards and a touchdown. 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:26.520 Taysom Hill, Damn, I forgot about the Swiss Army knife. 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:28.680 I was watching the film and I was like, there's 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.559 no way that number seven is tasted. No way, no 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:33.480 way tastes a Hill still plays with the Saints. 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:37.400 Good five carries thirty five yards average seven yards of tote. 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:39.000 So when he got in there, he was able to 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:40.760 effect to get a little with something there. His long 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:43.600 was twelve yards, so he did something with his carry. 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:47.720 So thirty seven runs, you've got to get them in 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:50.679 some third long. It's just not gonna be as easy 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:53.640 for as it was against the Panthers, and for the Cowboys, 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:55.240 it's not gonna be as easy as it was against 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:57.199 the Cleveland Brown. So both teams are going to get 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.440 some tests here and this is going to be the 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:02.000 fun part of this. The Cowboys were so good at 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:03.840 home last year, except. 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:12.559 But really needed. But all you can do now is 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:13.880 start at home. 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:18.360 Barry, what was the mentality like for the first home 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:19.199 game when you were playing. 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.559 I mean, it's when you play that first home game, 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:23.240 I don't care you know what year you're in, you know, 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:26.160 year ten or you're in year two. The butterflies are rolling. 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:27.880 I mean, on the away game, it's kind of you're 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:29.839 kind of all in unison. It's us against the world, 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:31.480 so it's kind of that feeling where you're all together 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:33.360 as one. But those home games, I mean, you got 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.640 guys who got family over there, and it can be 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:37.360 a little bit distracting. But when you get into that 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:39.000 locker room, you all have to lock in and the 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:42.719 butterflies are flying because nothing is like Cowboys Stadium at 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:44.640 that kickoff, that first kickoff, all those guys. 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:47.040 Rolling in the white flags flying all over the place. 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:48.080 It gets your hype. 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.240 It gets your hype, and I think that's the key 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.040 to starting fast. It's like, if you can feed into 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:55.440 that fan pace, you can feed into that energy. I 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:57.000 mean We've seen it time and time again with the 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.040 Cowboys last season when they were in the home, they 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.080 were able to start fast, jump on teams quick, and 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:02.839 I think that's going to be the difference in this game. 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.080 They've got to step on New Orleans stroke. 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:06.800 They got to jump on them quick and not give 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.520 them an opportunity to have forty seven thirty seven run attempts. 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:11.520 Let me follow that up here. It's a noon game. 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.079 The Cowboys live in the afternoon games, so this is 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:16.000 one of the rare times they're playing a new game 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:16.680 a noon game. 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:18.600 Here. What's the difference there? Oh? 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.080 I hated noon games because when you get up, you know, 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:22.640 you got to get your little breakfast in and I 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:23.839 always felt just kind of. 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:25.360 Tired, like I don't know if I had the itis 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:25.640 or what. 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:27.959 Maybe it was because I was eating to have pancakes, eggs, 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:28.800 all that good stuff. 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:31.720 I just felt like sluggish in the morning. 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.640 I had the itis, man, But I hated noon games 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:36.360 with a passion. You love it when it's done because 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.640 you got the rest of your day. But getting hyped 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.840 and getting ready to run through somebody's skull at you know, twelve, 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.800 it's just but then you know you get rolling in it, 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:45.680 you figure it out. 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.240 But those afternoon and night games ain't nothing like those though. 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.120 Now I feel like when you talk about the home 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:53.480 game and what a difference a couple of years made 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:55.960 for the Dallas Cowboys because they had never been considered 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:59.400 a home stadium favorite. You know, it's always felt like 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:02.160 a visiting stadium even for them. And now over the 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:04.199 last couple of games, I believe this is going to 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.200 be seventeen in a row during the regular season if 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:08.800 they pull out a victory at home, and so that 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:12.280 is home field advantage for the Dallas Cowboys. So I think, 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:14.640 you know, twelve o'clock, the crowd is going to be rowdy, 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:17.000 ready to get back to it because the last time 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:24.040 Cowboy fans saw the Dallas Cowboys, it wasn't too good. 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:26.400 So this is this is Hey, this is a way 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:30.000 to reintroduce yourself to your fan base. But I mean, 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:32.560 going back to Alvin Kamara. Was really kind of startling 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:35.000 about him is the fact that he is a guy 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.440 that has a name for himself in the National Football League, 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:39.920 but he has never had a one thousand yard season 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:42.960 as a rusher. Never It's that total scrimmage yards that 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:48.800 heate cumulative. It's the cumulative that he does in his 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:51.160 ability to get the ball out in the flat as 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.440 a receiver. He reminds me a lot. He reminds me 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:55.120 a lot of a guy by the name of Ricky Waters. 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:56.080 You remember Ricky Waters. 0:14:56.360 --> 0:15:01.200 He was Marshall Fall, Roger Craig. 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:01.640 You know. 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:04.960 So guys like that that are able to victimize you 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:06.720 once you get out of the flat, and I think 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:08.200 they look for all of the things that we know 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.560 about Mike Zimmer and his history as a head coach 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:14.840 and a defensive coordinator. Sometimes he leaves those underneath those 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:17.640 flats to open, right, so you. 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:19.360 Know that's something that they are going to be looking at. 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:24.080 And obviously, the offensive coordinator for the Saints, he also 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:27.360 coached under Mike Zimmer. So that familiarity if you just 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:29.640 man anytime you look at these matchup looks at the 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:32.080 coaching matchups as well, a lot of these guys are 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:33.040 familiar with each other. 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:34.160 I think that's so key. 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:36.960 So you know what, you know, the tendency, you know, 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:40.120 the favorites right there, So that that ability to get 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.520 out there and coach and get that stuff done. 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:42.680 There. 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.960 Hey, let's get our first break in here, Chris.

Rarely do I 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:22.560 watch the newscast when I go into town, but I 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:24.920 used to work in Cleveland, so I turned it on. Man, 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:27.359 they were hyping this. I mean they had the weather 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:30.199 man into all kinds of folks. Was all braskt. This 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:33.159 was Saturday night, Saturday night, baby, all ready to go. 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:36.400 Last year, We're good at home. I was like, wow, okay, 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:38.480 I forgot, you know, it's been a minute since I've 0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:41.159 been working in Cleveland, and just kind of thinking, okay, 0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:44.080 they and poured all into it, man, drinking the kool aid. 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:46.200 And then the team went out there and did that 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:48.160 fants booting my halftimes. 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:52.160 Yeah yeah, yeah, I know, like got you back back. 0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:55.040 Again, same old things, same old thing in Cleveland. So 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:57.520 we them boys fans were happy. You should have seen 0:19:57.520 --> 0:20:00.320 all the folks on the plane. By the way, I'm like, say, 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:00.960 did you wash. 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:01.800 The shirt from yesterday? 0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:05.359 You just reward again because folks were out here. It 0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:07.399 was it was a lot more. There was a lot 0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:09.439 of them wearing the gear there, but it was like double 0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:13.120 extra double on the way back. And that's something did 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:14.240 they have it on going? 0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:17.680 They did, they did, but it was doubled on that. 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:21.680 There's a lot of people trumping, tiptoeing back on the train. 0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:24.119 It's a lot of tip toes. It's a lot of 0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:27.720 back on the train. It's okay, it's okay. 0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:27.960 It was. 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:30.639 The breakfast was full of breakfast was full of them 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:36.399 both days on Sunday. Monday a little different. Monday a 0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:39.159 little different. So and the fun part about this week 0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:41.120 is you Saints. 0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:43.600 Fans live here. A lot of folks live. 0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:45.600 Down here, so they're gonna want to go to the 0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:49.480 game and it will be fun and I'm looking forward 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:51.720 to it. When you talk about the Saints and they're 0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:54.760 receiving weapons, Crystal Lave, that that is, that. 0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:56.840 Is that's a blue chip player right there. He's a 0:20:56.880 --> 0:20:58.240 really good football player. 0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:01.879 And Trayvon Diggs in his first game back, got an interception. 0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:05.600 Carson the rookie had a good game, held his own 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:07.879 out there. Heck, what are you looking for when you 0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:10.040 see Chris Olave and Derek Carr and his ability try 0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:11.879 to getting the ball? Because last week only two catches 0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:13.560 for eleven yards or seventeen yards combined. 0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:17.440 Hey, Chris o'lave from Ohio State, has had a very sneaky, 0:21:17.680 --> 0:21:20.960 silent start to his career, two back to back one 0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:24.239 thousand yard seasons, and you know, I think for all 0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:28.240 intensive purposes defenses they respect him, but they don't give 0:21:28.320 --> 0:21:30.119 him the attention that they give some of the bigger 0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:33.560 dogs in the NFL. And again he's you know, six foot, 0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:35.800 one hundred and eighty seven pounds something like that, but 0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:37.640 he is a flyer and a guy on the outside 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:40.480 that really can victimize your defense. For me, when I 0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:43.399 watch him on tape, especially coming away from that first 0:21:43.400 --> 0:21:46.119 game versus Carolina, you see them with the motion, but 0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:49.600 also they're trying to set up those mismatches and they 0:21:49.640 --> 0:21:51.359 want to get you in one on one situation. The 0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:53.600 problem with the one on one situation is we got 0:21:53.640 --> 0:21:55.560 some guys that can go one on one with you. 0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:58.520 But the other guy that his running mate with quick 0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:02.840 Chris o'lave, is a number twenty two shah Shaheed boy. 0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:04.560 Got gol jus Man shed. 0:22:04.760 --> 0:22:08.120 Yeah, And when I talk about the motion, they run 0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:10.560 him a lot in motion. They bring him back underneath 0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:12.800 the motion, but he'll go on a fade ball of 0:22:12.880 --> 0:22:15.120 you know, any of those goals or posts or anything 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:17.240 like that. So it's like you're gonna pay a lot 0:22:17.280 --> 0:22:19.760 of attention to a Lave. But I think for coach 0:22:19.800 --> 0:22:21.879 Mike Zimmer, he's looking at this in totality and when 0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:24.200 you talk about the tight end not being there, that's 0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:27.480 gonna be big for them because he was also, okay, 0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:31.119 a big mobile target for them. So look, Qush o'lave. 0:22:31.280 --> 0:22:33.240 Like I said, man having a sneaky good start to 0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:35.720 his career. But right now, man, he's one of those 0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:38.159 guys that I think the Dallas Cowboys defense can definitely 0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:38.960 handle him at home. 0:22:39.320 --> 0:22:40.199 I'm with you on that as well. 0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:42.480 I think they can handle both he and Shaheed on 0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:44.239 the ole side, and he can take the top off 0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:47.320 of any defense. But the question is will Derek Harr 0:22:47.560 --> 0:22:50.000 have time back there to develop that deep route And 0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:51.560 you know that's what he loves to do those you know, 0:22:51.640 --> 0:22:54.400 banana seven deep posts. He loves to shush the ball 0:22:54.400 --> 0:22:56.239 out there. But I just don't know if he'll had 0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:57.960 the time back there with the rush of the Dallas 0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:00.720 Cowboys present. That's why, in my opinion with Alave, I 0:23:00.760 --> 0:23:02.320 don't think a love will be that big of a 0:23:02.320 --> 0:23:04.760 threat when you talk about deep balls because he just 0:23:04.800 --> 0:23:06.320 won't have the time back there. That's why I think 0:23:06.320 --> 0:23:08.760 it's going to be that if Moreau it plays from 0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:11.280 the concussion protocol. If he's able to play, it'll be 0:23:11.359 --> 0:23:13.800 that that box right there, It'll be Moroda tight end, 0:23:13.840 --> 0:23:16.919 It'll be Alva Kamara out of the backfield, something to 0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:19.080 get the ball out of Derek Carr's hands fast. If 0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:21.119 they watched that that Cleveland Browns game, they understand that 0:23:21.320 --> 0:23:24.200 this defense hunts man. The magic of last week versus 0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:28.120 Cleveland is those five sacks where that gave the Cowboys 0:23:28.200 --> 0:23:31.520 twelve total games since two thousand and one with five 0:23:31.600 --> 0:23:35.720 sacks and that's league leading since since twenty twenty one. 0:23:35.880 --> 0:23:39.360 Also their ability to take the ball back interceptions as well. 0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:41.600 So when the Cowboys are taking the ball back and 0:23:41.600 --> 0:23:44.880 they're hunting the quarterback, they win the game. And so 0:23:45.160 --> 0:23:47.280 we already talked about Derek Carr and his you know, 0:23:47.320 --> 0:23:50.200 he will start seeing ghosts and you can disguise those coverages. 0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:51.840 Those are some of the things that I think when 0:23:51.880 --> 0:23:54.240 I think the keys to victory is going to be 0:23:54.240 --> 0:23:57.800 being able to create mayhem, start you know, calls pandemonium, 0:23:57.880 --> 0:24:00.520 get to the quarterback cause those interceptions. 0:24:01.480 --> 0:24:05.159 Were We'll pick the games later on this week, but 0:24:05.280 --> 0:24:08.240 I look at this as a game the Cowboys must get. 0:24:08.240 --> 0:24:09.960 It's your first home game. 0:24:10.280 --> 0:24:13.159 Last time we saw you, you embarrassed yourself, threw up 0:24:13.160 --> 0:24:15.080 all over yourself out there in front of the crowd 0:24:15.160 --> 0:24:17.480 to play. You need to correct it. But you get 0:24:17.520 --> 0:24:20.439 the Ravens after this game. You need to get. You 0:24:20.440 --> 0:24:22.240 need to put two and oh in the bank and 0:24:22.280 --> 0:24:24.359 then get ready for the Ravens who lost their first 0:24:24.400 --> 0:24:27.520 game in a very good contest against the Kansas City 0:24:27.560 --> 0:24:30.040 Chiefs on Thursday night to open up the season. So 0:24:30.200 --> 0:24:32.240 to me, just looking at this thing right now, got 0:24:32.280 --> 0:24:34.520 to get to two and oh. You and I had 0:24:34.560 --> 0:24:36.800 them going one in one because we had a losing 0:24:36.800 --> 0:24:38.639 against but the heck you had a two and oh. 0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:40.320 But this to me, when I just think about this 0:24:40.400 --> 0:24:42.520 game and what it means, get the bad taste out 0:24:42.520 --> 0:24:45.800 of your mouth from last year, get this first home game, 0:24:46.280 --> 0:24:49.399 and get to two and oh because this is a 0:24:49.520 --> 0:24:53.240 team on paper, and I know paper doesn't matter. Arizona 0:24:53.280 --> 0:24:56.760 showed us last year after the Cowboys started off hot. 0:24:57.040 --> 0:24:57.959 You need to get this. 0:24:58.359 --> 0:25:00.159 And when you look at the teams like this, you 0:25:00.240 --> 0:25:02.920 gotta win the games you're supposed to win, like that's 0:25:02.920 --> 0:25:05.399 the mark of a good team, not going in there sleepwalking, 0:25:05.480 --> 0:25:07.639 not going in there and letting the team that you 0:25:07.680 --> 0:25:09.439 are better than all across the border. 0:25:09.440 --> 0:25:11.880 You look at it offensively, defensively, special teams. 0:25:11.880 --> 0:25:14.480 The weapons that we have on the special teams for 0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:16.679 this team are better than what the Saints have. And 0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:18.480 it can't be one of these games like you mentioned 0:25:18.560 --> 0:25:20.719 last year with the Arizona Josh jobs coming out here, 0:25:20.760 --> 0:25:22.520 surprising cats throwing all over the place. 0:25:22.720 --> 0:25:24.240 It can't be one of those games. 0:25:24.400 --> 0:25:26.560 And to me, Mike McCarthy has done a great job, 0:25:26.560 --> 0:25:28.280 and his senior so far here has done a great 0:25:28.359 --> 0:25:31.000 job of starting fast on teams that they're supposed to be. 0:25:31.040 --> 0:25:33.399 Outside of that Arizona game, they usually start fast and 0:25:33.400 --> 0:25:35.720 they're usually rolling. So I'll give Hi kudos to that. 0:25:35.760 --> 0:25:37.080 He does a great job of getting this team ready. 0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:41.600 What scares me is twelve o'clock game, like you talked 0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:46.160 about in the word sleepwalk, and we don't that's what 0:25:46.440 --> 0:25:48.439 that has been the one thing that has bit us 0:25:48.520 --> 0:25:50.280 a lot. And I don't care if it's a Denver 0:25:50.400 --> 0:25:52.760 game or just those games where you're like you come in, 0:25:52.840 --> 0:25:54.800 you're supposed to knock this team out. Next thing you know, 0:25:54.800 --> 0:25:58.560 it's halftime and you're in a dog fight and being 0:25:58.600 --> 0:26:03.160 able to whatever he's made and understanding that. I really 0:26:03.160 --> 0:26:06.199 think Mike McCarthy really has a handle on that with 0:26:06.280 --> 0:26:08.479 this team that has so much talent on it. But 0:26:08.560 --> 0:26:11.320 you can't allow these guys to start slow, especially like 0:26:11.359 --> 0:26:13.880 you said, in a game that you're suppose you're supposed 0:26:13.920 --> 0:26:16.359 to come in and dominate. You can't be sloppy. You 0:26:16.400 --> 0:26:19.359 can't have any blown coverage. Although you have a ton 0:26:19.440 --> 0:26:21.840 of rookies out there and a bunch of first year players. 0:26:21.960 --> 0:26:23.840 So so heckman, let me bounce off what you just 0:26:23.880 --> 0:26:25.439 said there. Put it over to you, Barry. 0:26:26.040 --> 0:26:29.200 Here are the rookies your first home game on the road. 0:26:29.280 --> 0:26:31.320 You're not trying to deal with a bunch of tickets 0:26:31.320 --> 0:26:34.760 and everything else, but it's your rookie game here at home. 0:26:34.960 --> 0:26:37.200 Family wants to fly in, they want to come see. 0:26:37.760 --> 0:26:40.159 What advice would you give as a veteran to the 0:26:40.240 --> 0:26:42.280 rookie players, is they get ready for a game number 0:26:42.320 --> 0:26:44.480 one at home and you know everybody wants to come 0:26:44.560 --> 0:26:45.920 celebrate you. 0:26:46.240 --> 0:26:48.600 If the one thing I would say is you got 0:26:48.760 --> 0:26:49.239 to lock in. 0:26:49.320 --> 0:26:51.440 As far as when you get to the hotel room, 0:26:51.960 --> 0:26:53.560 don't go because you get you know, after meetings, you 0:26:53.600 --> 0:26:55.600 get a couple of hours before curvey. Don't go back 0:26:55.640 --> 0:26:57.280 to the house, you know, don't go sitting there, you know, 0:26:57.320 --> 0:26:58.399 hanging out with the family and all that. 0:26:58.480 --> 0:26:59.000 It's great, you. 0:26:58.920 --> 0:27:01.399 Could catch them after the game, but make sure you 0:27:01.440 --> 0:27:03.159 lock in, stay at the hotel when you get up 0:27:03.160 --> 0:27:04.959 in the morning, go straight from the hotel to the stadium. 0:27:04.960 --> 0:27:07.119 There's no because you know, that's what what we did 0:27:07.160 --> 0:27:09.080 when we was with the wake up in the morning, 0:27:09.080 --> 0:27:10.680 you did your meetings, and you went back to the house, 0:27:10.760 --> 0:27:11.560 hung out for a little. 0:27:11.359 --> 0:27:14.399 Bit the stium. None of that. Don't do none of 0:27:14.440 --> 0:27:17.280 that twelve o'clock game, even on a twelve game. 0:27:17.320 --> 0:27:19.480 Yeah, because it would because wouldn't even have morning meetings 0:27:19.920 --> 0:27:21.480 doing a twelve o'clock game. You just the first thing, 0:27:21.520 --> 0:27:23.240 you get up, get some breakfast. Then you would have 0:27:23.320 --> 0:27:25.080 some time to go kick it or whatever, hang out 0:27:25.080 --> 0:27:26.480 at the house with the family, and then go to 0:27:26.480 --> 0:27:28.560 the game. Least that's what the veterans did. But they're 0:27:28.640 --> 0:27:30.239 way out here now. I think they stay over at 0:27:30.240 --> 0:27:31.959 the Omni, so it ain't like you can just go 0:27:32.200 --> 0:27:33.760 bang from the omniy all ways to your stadium. 0:27:33.800 --> 0:27:35.840 So just lock in and that's all you got to do. 0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:37.840 And when it comes to Zimmer and his coaching staff, 0:27:37.880 --> 0:27:41.119 he strikes me as a guy that's no nonsense, Like, look, man. 0:27:41.240 --> 0:27:43.600 We're not here to play games.

I don't even know 0:32:30.160 --> 0:32:32.000 what their whole thing is but garkasas the. 0:32:34.040 --> 0:32:37.640 iSIG so pig nickiet men to catch up on all 0:32:37.680 --> 0:32:40.560 that stuff. Good used to be used to be good 0:32:40.600 --> 0:32:44.240 back in the day. Man, it's been been while moving 0:32:44.280 --> 0:32:47.680 to the SEC. Did it helped them financially? But winning 0:32:48.040 --> 0:32:49.960 One of the problems is, and I actually talk to 0:32:49.960 --> 0:32:52.880 Steven Jones about it. Once Stephen played out there, the 0:32:52.920 --> 0:32:54.400 Texas talent went down. 0:32:55.240 --> 0:32:56.080 So there's two. 0:32:55.880 --> 0:32:57.920 Schools that I think about when they moved out of that, 0:32:58.040 --> 0:33:02.240 the the old Southwest Confers Slash Big twelve that lost 0:33:02.560 --> 0:33:04.920 you know who pipe right the pipeline. 0:33:05.160 --> 0:33:07.040 Arkansas lost the pipeline. 0:33:06.520 --> 0:33:10.240 And then Nebraska they used to be cold, and Colorado 0:33:10.400 --> 0:33:14.000 had a huge pipeline in Houston. So you know, that's 0:33:14.000 --> 0:33:16.160 gonna be interesting to see what happens here with some 0:33:16.200 --> 0:33:18.680 of these other moves here. But but now you know, 0:33:18.840 --> 0:33:21.400 since Texas has joined the SEC. Now A and M's 0:33:21.400 --> 0:33:24.480 in the SEC in Oklahoma, I think they'll I think 0:33:24.560 --> 0:33:26.320 Arkansas will be okay to be able to get some 0:33:26.320 --> 0:33:26.800 folks back. 0:33:27.600 --> 0:33:31.240 I think Dennis Allen played it at yes he did, 0:33:31.880 --> 0:33:33.680 was in the old Southwestern Conference. 0:33:33.840 --> 0:33:37.600 Dan Dan the wrecking crew. So what they have two. 0:33:37.400 --> 0:33:41.080 Coach two A and m coaches in the league, Dennis 0:33:41.120 --> 0:33:42.760 ount A and m and then Dan Campbell. 0:33:42.760 --> 0:33:46.200 How about that represent us? Yes, nobody from Texas. 0:33:46.600 --> 0:33:51.520 From Texas, they'll do that. The Chill Man and Chill 0:33:51.600 --> 0:33:53.480 his own one. Did you see him on the sideline 0:33:53.480 --> 0:34:00.360 of the Michigan game? First off free ticket, off the 0:34:00.440 --> 0:34:01.520 top ticket. 0:34:02.320 --> 0:34:04.360 Then he talked about yourself in the media match, Then 0:34:04.400 --> 0:34:06.560 got got blessed with a sideline pass and he just 0:34:06.560 --> 0:34:09.040 didn't have a side. He had a sideline pass that 0:34:09.040 --> 0:34:11.640 allowed him to be on the sideline the entire game. 0:34:11.920 --> 0:34:13.360 So he can go up and it wasn't like he's 0:34:13.560 --> 0:34:15.080 very restricted. He can go anywhere. 0:34:15.520 --> 0:34:19.960 I mean, those are those kinds of passes are fun. 0:34:20.440 --> 0:34:22.400 Okay.

You're gonna hear 0:34:33.040 --> 0:34:33.880 on the sidelines. 0:34:34.239 --> 0:34:38.440 Yeah, Like I said, man, it was fun, just you 0:34:38.600 --> 0:34:41.160 just kind of just chilling, just bouncing around doing that thing. 0:34:41.400 --> 0:34:43.799 Somebody else were gonna go TCU game this weekend.

It was. 0:37:57.560 --> 0:37:59.600 It was definitely a welcome to the NFL moment when 0:37:59.719 --> 0:38:00.879 when I to go against that dude. 0:38:01.640 --> 0:38:03.840 His speed, that's the way that guy was built was 0:38:03.840 --> 0:38:04.760 was completely different. 0:38:04.800 --> 0:38:05.680 I can only imagine. 0:38:05.719 --> 0:38:07.759 And then on top of that, Adrian Peterson was sixty 0:38:07.800 --> 0:38:11.400 three yeah, yeah, six, Yeah, he's a bigger guy than 0:38:11.440 --> 0:38:14.120 you expecting the way that he runs. Also, I mean 0:38:14.280 --> 0:38:16.080 you go back to a guy like Adrian Peterson to 0:38:16.280 --> 0:38:18.920 Eric Dickerson and guys that came from that era. But 0:38:19.200 --> 0:38:22.600 I mean, I'm sure like you talk about it when 0:38:22.600 --> 0:38:25.759 you talk about Ricky Williams, and that was at the 0:38:25.840 --> 0:38:29.120 end of his career, Ricky with the one two steps 0:38:30.000 --> 0:38:33.080 I cut. These These are players that obviously, you know, 0:38:33.160 --> 0:38:35.120 you you see these guys on TV, you win them, 0:38:35.200 --> 0:38:37.239 see them win heismans. But then when you see them 0:38:37.239 --> 0:38:40.360 in actual action, like guys like Reggie Bush, you know, 0:38:40.480 --> 0:38:42.560 being there being phild level and seeing a Reggie but 0:38:42.640 --> 0:38:44.000 was like, that's different quickness. 0:38:44.360 --> 0:38:46.560 That guy's, like I said, not boring. He was created. 0:38:47.360 --> 0:38:49.160 You're right, because because when you see it like he 0:38:49.520 --> 0:38:50.280 he's different. 0:38:50.320 --> 0:38:52.839 Remember the first time I saw Peter Warick in Los Angeles, Oh, 0:38:54.120 --> 0:38:55.719 it was just like I mean, and he didn't have 0:38:55.760 --> 0:38:57.600 the kind of career was having to go to Bengals. 0:38:57.640 --> 0:38:59.400 He didn't have the current of career you thought. But 0:38:59.480 --> 0:39:02.280 when you saw him on the oh, he was different. 0:39:02.360 --> 0:39:03.640 And then I saw Walter. 0:39:03.440 --> 0:39:05.840 Jones, Walter Jones office line. 0:39:06.160 --> 0:39:09.360 Walter Jones office floor state like a Black stormtrooper. And 0:39:09.520 --> 0:39:14.480 Pad was like, oh, good luck done, No you go here, 0:39:14.640 --> 0:39:16.239 just direct, No, not. 0:39:16.280 --> 0:39:18.840 Today, black stuck. 0:39:19.000 --> 0:39:22.759 You're not getting to the death Star. I mean, you 0:39:22.880 --> 0:39:24.719 just saw I saw, I saw it was that floor 0:39:24.800 --> 0:39:26.920 was a Florida State team. I in'd up winning national championship, 0:39:27.040 --> 0:39:29.359 but it was it was Peter Warck, it was Walter. 0:39:29.680 --> 0:39:31.240 You just like, Okay, they're different. 0:39:31.360 --> 0:39:34.279 Now that that was one of those days where it 0:39:34.400 --> 0:39:36.280 was a ton of dudes who got drafted. 0:39:36.400 --> 0:39:40.000 Okay, bunch of dudes who got drafted. Wink. 0:39:39.960 --> 0:39:43.160 He ended up winning a Heisman Trophy. Chris Claibornes the 0:39:43.200 --> 0:39:46.279 linebacker for US when Bucket swept. Brian Kelly ended up 0:39:46.320 --> 0:39:48.239 winning a championship with Tampa. That saw a lot of 0:39:48.320 --> 0:39:50.360 dudes out there. But you was like, yeah, those two, 0:39:50.680 --> 0:39:54.560 yeah different, they're different. And of course Walter Jones ended 0:39:54.640 --> 0:39:56.520 up going to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But 0:39:56.600 --> 0:39:59.000 just what you said, you see, you got a he 0:39:59.000 --> 0:40:02.000 he's not like, he's not like USNA. 0:40:02.160 --> 0:40:02.800 He different. 0:40:03.120 --> 0:40:06.080 And when you see special guys like that, that's the 0:40:06.080 --> 0:40:07.880 cool part of the job. And that's why I do 0:40:08.000 --> 0:40:10.080 love being on the field, because you when you see 0:40:10.080 --> 0:40:13.640 it like that, everybody's good. And when you see somebody who's. 0:40:13.440 --> 0:40:17.400 Like NA, Like I got the line up against Randy 0:40:17.520 --> 0:40:19.680 my rookie year, and I was like, first of all, 0:40:19.719 --> 0:40:22.000 we had this dumb package where let's put the young 0:40:22.040 --> 0:40:23.920 safety at corner so he can get a jam on 0:40:23.960 --> 0:40:24.279 this guy. 0:40:24.840 --> 0:40:27.520 Man, this dude came trotting out to my side.

But luckily he 0:41:15.320 --> 0:41:17.279 was just messing with me. You looked back like he 0:41:17.480 --> 0:41:19.480 just laughed. It was like, I ain't gonna be like, hey, 0:41:19.480 --> 0:41:20.319 young free bird. 0:41:21.040 --> 0:41:26.080 He got off the line. Bird, he put that arm 0:41:26.160 --> 0:41:29.359 up I'm like, oh no, it's it was a rough place. 0:41:29.360 --> 0:41:30.719 He started laughing like you. 0:41:31.280 --> 0:41:32.920 I was like, man, get me off of this field 0:41:33.000 --> 0:41:35.800 right now, get me out of here, Thank God, thank. 0:41:36.160 --> 0:41:43.680 Hell, give me back leg. My plan B for chake first. 0:41:44.480 --> 0:41:49.719 Right now is pray. You know, I'm you know what, 0:41:49.880 --> 0:41:52.400 Hunter Lifkey Hunter Lifty. We talked about him, and we 0:41:52.440 --> 0:41:55.040 talked about him as I'm talking about blocking. Okay, as 0:41:55.080 --> 0:41:58.319 far as the blocking packages, but also schoolmaker. We've we've 0:41:58.320 --> 0:42:00.480 been you know, he's a high draft pick, a guy 0:42:00.480 --> 0:42:02.719 that you've been waiting to see that production from, and 0:42:02.760 --> 0:42:05.120 you're trying to replace one hundred and two catches last season. 0:42:05.440 --> 0:42:09.960 So look, I am personally happy that this man did 0:42:10.000 --> 0:42:12.160 in the sprink like it's not an ACL because when 0:42:12.160 --> 0:42:14.680 he went down, I thought, I thought, I was like. 0:42:14.640 --> 0:42:15.319 That's the end. 0:42:15.520 --> 0:42:18.839 Look like when that knee jam up, like and I 0:42:18.880 --> 0:42:21.319 was preparing for I was preparing for the worst man. 0:42:21.360 --> 0:42:23.120 But when he came back and said, God is good, 0:42:23.440 --> 0:42:25.600 and you realize that it's just an MCL. Even though 0:42:25.600 --> 0:42:27.640 that's not like work. He still has to come back 0:42:27.800 --> 0:42:29.600 and try and regain his strength in that leg and 0:42:29.640 --> 0:42:32.160 also his speed. But I think where you go here 0:42:32.400 --> 0:42:35.600 is you rely on Schoolmaker and also Stevenson. We've been 0:42:35.640 --> 0:42:38.240 waiting to see this guy, the tight end that everybody's 0:42:38.280 --> 0:42:40.200 been talking about. He just hadn't got his time yet. 0:42:40.239 --> 0:42:42.640 Man, give me spam forward, me give me spay Ford 0:42:42.640 --> 0:42:44.400 It okay, I mean, but what he was able to 0:42:44.440 --> 0:42:46.759 do blocking wise, at least against the Browns to me, 0:42:46.800 --> 0:42:49.360 you show promise big dudes six seven two point fifty 0:42:49.360 --> 0:42:51.480 out there. He's not gonna route nobody up. He might 0:42:51.520 --> 0:42:53.000 not be able to get you a catcher too, but 0:42:53.320 --> 0:42:55.320 he's going to make sure that that line of scrimmage 0:42:55.320 --> 0:42:56.200 is where it needs to be at. 0:42:56.239 --> 0:42:57.719 So give me spam forward in there, and then you're 0:42:57.719 --> 0:42:59.360 gonna have to rely on the three wide receivers to 0:42:59.360 --> 0:43:03.239 be in your passing targets.
