00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 6: we get into the conversation of Mike Zimmer, I do

42
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 6: want to at least spend a little time talking about Trayvon.

43
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 3: What is the I guess it all kind of came

44
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 3: to a.

45
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 6: Head over the weekend where oh my god, he's not traveling.

46
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's gonna probably be out for the rest of

47
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 3: the year.

48
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 6: What do we know about that and how it developed

49
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 6: into to the point to where it is now and

50
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 6: when can we expect to see him back on the field.

51
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 2: Yes.

52
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 7: So it is the same knee that he dealt with

53
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 7: last year, but there was the issue that he had

54
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 7: been battling most of the year was fluid in his

55
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 7: knee and it it bothered him and it kept him

56
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 7: out a couple of games, and then he goes and

57
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 7: plays what was it seventy something snaps against the Bengals.

58
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 7: They come in and he has a little bit of discomfort.

59
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 7: Early in the week, they do some testing and some imaging.

60
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 7: He's still limited in practice early on, and then Friday

61
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 7: is when they kind of come to the determination that

62
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 7: he's dealing with that chondrial issue, which.

63
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: Is the.

64
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 7: It's like the cartilage at the end of your bone

65
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 7: and your knee. He's dealing with some issues there and

66
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 7: needs surgery to repair that injury. So I'm not a

67
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 7: doctor anything. I'm trying to communicate as best as I can.

68
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 7: But the recovery is looking like about eight months and

69
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 7: that would put him Stephen Jones has Yeah, Stephen Jones.

70
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: Says, I'm counting on my face, yeah, lsu. Yeah.

71
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 7: Stephen Jones would have has some confidence that he'll be

72
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 7: back by week one, but definitely looked at training camp

73
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 7: and was like, yeah, we might not have him at

74
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 7: camp this year. So yeah, that's definitely gonna be one

75
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 7: that we will be tracking all off season and hopes

76
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 7: that he can make it for Week one. So we're

77
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 7: looking at him and Marven overshown already as potential missing

78
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 7: time in twenty twenty five and we haven't even ended

79
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 7: twenty twenty four yet.

80
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 6: So yeah, how concerning is it that someone like Treyvon

81
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 6: is now going to miss the entire offseason because you

82
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 6: look at it, He's now.

83
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 3: Had last year, that's two years in a row.

84
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 6: Now he doesn't get the off season, won't have training

85
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 6: camp this year. And when you're trying to get to

86
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 6: a point where you kind of really the off season

87
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 6: is when you're preparing your body for the rigors of

88
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 6: NFL football, right, you're getting yourself ready.

89
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: How much does that concern you?

90
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: It's huge.

91
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 8: It's huge because you know, you went through this all

92
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 8: of last year and there's so much unknown now that

93
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 8: it's one thing to have one injury, but to have

94
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 8: too And this man makes his living with his feet,

95
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 8: his knees, his legs, I mean, that's what he makes

96
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 8: his living with and the fact that you've had now

97
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 8: two major surgeries on those legs. It doesn't doesn't bode well.

98
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 8: And especially when you're talking about cartilage injuries and bone

99
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 8: on bone situations, and you know, what's the next step.

100
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 8: Is it always going to be completely Is it going

101
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 8: to be better?

102
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: Uh?

103
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 8: You know, you kind of feel like when you fix

104
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 8: the knee one time that things are going to be okay.

105
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 8: But this is a this is a very significant injury.

106
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 8: And you know, initially you thought, okay, scope, clean it out,

107
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 8: that kind of thing.

108
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: No, No, this is a very very serious injury.

109
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 8: And you know then, I know, talking to trainers and

110
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 8: doctors around the league, they've microfracture.

111
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: You hear that.

112
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 8: That's a scary thing when you start to talk about

113
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 8: what's the what's the next step or the potentially next step,

114
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 8: And you know, that's.

115
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 2: Very few, very few if.

116
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 8: Have dealt with that and come back and played at

117
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 8: a very very high level. Not to say it hasn't happened,

118
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 8: it's just a it's a very very difficult thing to

119
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 8: deal with.

120
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 4: I mean, one key injury is already bad enough, and

121
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 4: then you start adding everybody else that's on that list,

122
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 4: including your quarterback like when because they're recovering from surgery

123
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 4: and you still there's that unknown of how are they

124
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 4: gonna look when they do come back from injury, because

125
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 4: most often than not, it takes multiple weeks for them

126
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 4: to get back and sometimes they don't even go back

127
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 4: to what they used to be. So it's gonna be

128
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 4: a very very challenging off season for the Cowboys as

129
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 4: they try to manage this roster and also try to

130
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 4: figure out that'll known of these guys, key players, what's

131
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 4: gonna happen with them, and how are you going to

132
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 4: address all these issues?

133
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 9: But man, for this secondary just a terrible, terrible hit.

134
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 4: Darn Bland. I think he's on track. He's been looking

135
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 4: good with his recovery, him coming back from injury, and

136
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 4: so far, so good. And we still don't know what's

137
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 4: gonna happen with Jordan.

138
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 9: Lewis as far as his future here with.

139
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 4: The Cowboys, and then now add this Trevon Digg's injury.

140
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 9: It really sucks for this team.

141
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 8: The positivity will be coming probably from the draft, but

142
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 8: I think they'll be going into training camp when we

143
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 8: all get back on that train in July will be

144
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 8: I think there'll be a lot like Ambar's talking about

145
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 8: a lot more questions instead of sure, there'll be some

146
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 8: positivity about some of the players they got, and if

147
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,239
Speaker 8: they don't play in free agency, then it'll be like, well, okay,

148
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 8: where's this team at. You know, the Commanders look like

149
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 8: they're a better team. The Eagles clearly are the class

150
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 8: of the division. You know, right now it's you and

151
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 8: the Giants that are kind of But I think the positivity,

152
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 8: just like she's talking about with all the injuries, not

153
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 8: just the Digs, but the the Dak injury. Uh, look

154
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 8: at you know, uh, look at the the situation.

155
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: With juan Ye, Thomas and Bell.

156
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 8: I mean, all these guys that you kind of counted on, uh,

157
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 8: and then what guys.

158
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 2: You're gonna lose.

159
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 8: I think that I think teams are a extually. I

160
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 8: think the media fan base is probably going to take

161
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 8: a big step back and say, maybe this team isn't

162
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 8: as good going into the season as it was coming

163
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 8: into twenty twenty four.

164
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 4: Well, good thing is that there's still three games left

165
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 4: on the on the schedule, and with that you get

166
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 4: a chance to look at depth and the guys that you.

167
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 2: Currently do have in seeing depth all year.

168
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 4: We have, we have, but you get a different look

169
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 4: and more time to see real game situation. Again, it's

170
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 4: very hard to replicate real games. You know, you can't

171
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 4: do that at practice. It just does not look the

172
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 4: same and it doesn't give you the same results that

173
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 4: you're looking for. So it's just another opportunity to look

174
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 4: at what you have in younger guys and in depth

175
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 4: to maybe give you a better idea of what you

176
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 4: can do or who you can keep during this offseason.

177
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 6: All right, when you look at the Cowboys defense right now,

178
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 6: we're going to we're gonna move a little bit, but

179
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 6: continue to talk a little bit about injuries as well.

180
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 6: When you look at the Cowboys defense, how well they've played.

181
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 6: I saw this morning Joyce Joseph Hoyd put it on Twitter.

182
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 6: I thought it was an interesting tweet. He said that

183
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 6: to this point, Cowboys for the season are the twenty

184
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 6: sixth ranked defense relative to EPA per play allowed. Right

185
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 6: over the last four games.

186
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 3: They're fifth in the NFL.

187
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 6: A big difference obviously in the first four games, I

188
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 6: mean in the last four games. Now, part of that

189
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 6: you have to consider is the competition that they were

190
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 6: up against. Now, I will also say they played an

191
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 6: equally poor team in Week two in the Saints, and

192
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 6: the Saints kicked their butt, right, So you can say that.

193
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 6: But they've lost some bad teams this year too. They've

194
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 6: been equal opportunity providers there when it comes to giving losses.

195
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 6: But that all being said, they've played a lot of

196
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 6: this season without some of the key guys on defense Parsons,

197
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 6: d Law, Diggs, Bland, Overshown, Williams, Kneeland. All that being said,

198
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 6: how much do you how much difference do you give

199
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 6: Mike Zimmer and this defense when it comes to the

200
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 6: injuries and all the guys that they had to play

201
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 6: without and having to kind of get his defense going

202
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 6: when you try to evaluate him as a as a

203
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 6: play caller for the season.

204
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, if I look at everything after, I would say,

205
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 7: I don't know week seven, give or take, then yeah,

206
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 7: I think you can give some difference to that, and

207
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 7: you understand the challenges that he's been battling throughout the

208
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:45,239
Speaker 7: year as a coordinator. Because man, it's defensive end, it's linebacker,

209
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 7: it's corner. I feel like the safety position might be

210
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 7: the only one that hasn't really had a lot of

211
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 7: a turnover this season because of injury. So I have

212
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 7: to give credit to Mike Zimmer because he's been dealing

213
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 7: with a lot of guys. And you look at Josh Butler,

214
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 7: how he was a the step up, Amantio Ro Warriers,

215
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 7: had a couple of strong outings. Carl Lawson was a

216
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 7: guy that we didn't even think might make the team

217
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 7: out of training camp, and he's become a legitimate pass

218
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 7: rusher for them. So with what the pieces he's dealing

219
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 7: with over the course of the last few weeks, you

220
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 7: got to give credit to how he's put it together.

221
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 7: From a defensive coordinator and a play color standpoint, Yeah, I.

222
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 4: Give him tons of credit and a lot of respect

223
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 4: because even though we talked about it yesterday, Brian mentioned

224
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 4: the whole you know, would have been good for him

225
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 4: to have everybody buy into his new system, a new

226
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 4: scheme earlier on to potentially win you some of this game.

227
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 4: You got to look at it the other way too,

228
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 4: looking at all the injuries, all the things that he's

229
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 4: had to battle through, but also with the season, how

230
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 4: he was going and how it's been going. How do

231
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 4: you keep players motivated and wanting to go out there

232
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 4: and compete and not give up and not throw in

233
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 4: the towel and say hey whatever. And I think you've

234
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 4: seen that with this defense over the last few weeks,

235
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 4: that they are actually going out there putting in the

236
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 4: effort and playing at a high level or at least

237
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 4: the highest that you can possibly give in the situation.

238
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 4: So to that, I think it can be very challenging

239
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 4: just keeping guys wanting to still put in the time

240
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 4: during the week in preparation and then go out there

241
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 4: on Sunday and fight and battle and do what they

242
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 4: need to do to take care of the game and

243
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 4: help their off. And so I think I've I mentioned

244
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 4: it yesterday. At first I was skeptical because of some

245
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 4: of the results, but as the week went on, I'm

246
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 4: very impressed and I would not mind him coming back

247
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 4: and being here again with the Cowboys.

248
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 8: Jump ahead ran, Yeah, no, I it's it is one

249
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 8: of my favorite new things. And kind of falling in

250
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 8: love with these numbers and looking at numbers and stuff.

251
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 2: Yeah it was.

252
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 8: I never was, but I was looking at overthecap dot

253
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 8: com and they talk about contract and stuff, and you

254
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 8: mentioned about Carl Lawson. Carl Lawson's playing like a player

255
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 8: that's like over thirteen million dollars in value, fourteen million dollars.

256
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 8: He's playing like a fourteen million dollar year position player

257
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 8: and he's making a million dollars, you know, And so

258
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 8: you know here he is, he's playing thirteen million dollars

259
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 8: over value of what the player of How you determine

260
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 8: his you know, how you determine what he's doing.

261
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 2: And that's super impressive to me that.

262
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 8: But you are getting guys that are playing now whatever

263
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 8: we were I'm used to seeing. And I've always talked

264
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 8: about the OSA falloff.

265
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 2: We haven't seen the OSA falloff.

266
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 8: You know, you're getting some guys that are You're getting

267
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 8: to Carl Lawson, who man, we were sitting there at

268
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 8: training camp and they just kept throwing names that, it

269
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 8: names that, it names that, and they finally hit it right,

270
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 8: and we're all worried about Carl Lawson.

271
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 2: I know I was.

272
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 8: You know, I'm like, well, Carl Lawson playing the run well, Well,

273
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 8: he's playing the pass and the run well for you

274
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 8: right now.

275
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 2: So Zim deserves a lot of career. I tell you where.

276
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 2: I really do.

277
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 8: Like Zim and and I've been with him, known him

278
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 8: a long time. I think that he's done a better

279
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 8: job than And one of my questions was about him

280
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 8: and dan Quinn, So this is how I'll answer this question.

281
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 2: Then. The thing that I like about Mike is I.

282
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 8: Think he knows how to match his guys up against

283
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 8: their weakest opponents. I think he's kind of figured out

284
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 8: how to How many times have we seen and this

285
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 8: is really no disrespect to dan Quinn, but how many

286
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 8: times have we seen Micah Parsons taking rushes against Trent

287
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 8: Williams of the forty nine ers or Lane Johnson to

288
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 8: the Philadelphia Eagles And you're just like going, man, you're

289
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 8: beating your head.

290
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 2: It's this is a wash, this is good verse good.

291
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 2: You know, Zim has kind.

292
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 8: Of figured out how to get his really good players

293
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 8: on their bad players. And I appreciate that, you know,

294
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 8: because that's what to me when you go out and

295
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 8: you advance scout and you look at it and you're thinking,

296
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 8: what's this all about? Teams trying to hide their bad players.

297
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 8: Mike finds your bad player and takes advantage of that.

298
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 8: And that's what I appreciate about him the most, and

299
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 8: that he's he's taken guys like Parsons osa Lawson, Wilson,

300
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 8: whatever he has to do, He's found ways to attack Lewis,

301
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 8: attack these offenses by just some of the matchups.

302
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 2: I think that's where I want to give him a

303
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: lot of credit.

304
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, I feel like dan Quinn at times last year

305
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 7: got better at that because we saw Michael Parsons lined

306
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 7: up over zero tech many times, lind up over center

307
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 7: at zero tech many times, we saw him moving around

308
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 7: quite a bit. I agree with you, but I think

309
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 7: dan Quinn did get a little bit better at that

310
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 7: last year specifically.

311
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just to me, it's I see it.

312
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 8: Maybe it's because of Parsons, but I see it with

313
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 8: all his players, you know, I see it. And maybe

314
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 8: some of the things that's helped Osa not be Week

315
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 8: fourteen go away Osa could be his contract that he's

316
00:14:55,840 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 8: trying to get, maybe better conditioning, maybe the fact that like,

317
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 8: oh wait a minute, he's he's going against their their

318
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 8: their fifth best offensive lineman. You know, I don't know

319
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 8: if we always saw that, but I respect what you're saying.

320
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 3: I will tell you this.

321
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 6: The one thing that I'm keeping an eye on that

322
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 6: I think I like more about Zimmer is it feels

323
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 6: like at this point he may have finally solved the

324
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 6: enigma that has been the running defense for the Dallas Cowboys.

325
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 6: Now we're gonna find out these next three weeks, because

326
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 6: you got some teams coming in here who can run

327
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 6: the ball, particularly when you play Philly. We're gonna find

328
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 6: out how good this run defense is.

329
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 2: Right.

330
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 6: But I will say this, I so far, I look

331
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 6: at what they did, and I know these were bad teams,

332
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 6: not the Giants so much from the standpoint of what

333
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 6: I'm talking about with rushing.

334
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 3: But Carolina has a really good rushing attack. That runner

335
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 3: really good.

336
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 2: That's how they been competitive year.

337
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 6: He is a really good runner, and he's run against

338
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 6: some good defense in this league and run well.

339
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 3: Cowboys held in the thirty something yards.

340
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think right now that's the part where if

341
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 6: I'm trying to compare the two I look at the

342
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 6: run defense and I say, man, finally, maybe somebody has

343
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 6: solved this run defense problem that has been kind of

344
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 6: popping its head up really for the last several years.

345
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 6: It's been this ongoing thing of you get to this

346
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 6: week and just you cannot figure out how to stop

347
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 6: the run. And I think that might actually Zimmer might

348
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 6: be onto.

349
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 7: Something Dallas is fifth in the NFL over the last

350
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 7: three weeks and rushing yards allowed per game eighty three

351
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 7: point three, So.

352
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're doing quite well.

353
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 4: You've started to see a little bit more discipline just

354
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 4: from the defense as opposed to last year. I feel

355
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 4: like that kind of started taking a drop off with

356
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 4: discipline overall and penalties. Not to say that they've played

357
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 4: a completely clean game at all, but you see guys

358
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 4: just tackling better, running better, being more on their assignment

359
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 4: and do what they need to do. And again, I

360
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 4: love Dan Quinn and I think he was very very

361
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 4: well respected by everyone here and the players in the organization,

362
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 4: but there's something different about what Zimmer has been able

363
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 4: to implement in the whole defense.

364
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 9: And also not.

365
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 4: To make Mica Parsons like he's the I mean, I

366
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 4: know there's a lot of debate there, but I guess

367
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 4: what I'm trying to say, when you get a guy

368
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 4: like him to respect you and buy in. And again,

369
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to make Micah like the biggest diva

370
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 4: in the world or anything like that, but it helps.

371
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 4: It helps when you have a guy like him buy

372
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 4: into what you're selling and everyone kind of follows, and

373
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 4: it's just he just made it better than what it

374
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 4: was last year. And there were things that dan Quinn

375
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 4: was able to do also, and again he didn't have

376
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 4: to deal with as many injuries. And I think with

377
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 4: the turnovers, that's something that you're starting to see in

378
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 4: these last few weeks where it was lacking this year,

379
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 4: but now it's starting to pick over and you see

380
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 4: the kind of things that they're practicing out there and

381
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 4: just reflecting back to the field in the game.

382
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, we will.

383
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 6: Now we have to move on to a much more

384
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 6: complex question, which we'll have to say for another time

385
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 6: about Mike McCarthy whether he gets that same difference with

386
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 6: regardless of the injuries.

387
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 2: We'll have that.

388
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 6: Conversation at some point. We're gonna take our first pick

389
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 6: when we come back. We dive into the brain of

390
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,399

394

395
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,800

398
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,280

Speaker 6: All right, so Blockchain Blockchain take us into the brain

451
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 6: of Brian brought us.

452
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 2: Thank you very much.

453
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 8: Appreciate that Nick Harris currently the most important offensive player

454
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 8: CD lamb or Rico daddle.

455
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 7: Uh Rico Dawdell. I would say currently for sure. You

456
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 7: look at what he's done to help sustate drives for

457
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 7: Cooper Rush. I think he's been more of a benefit

458
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 7: to Cooper Rush than Ceedee Lamb has been. And that's

459
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 7: no discredit to Ceede Lamb. It's more of a credit

460
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 7: to Rico Dowdell winning the time and possesion battle against

461
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 7: teams that run the ball really well in Carolina, you know,

462
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 7: keeping that offense off the field from Cincinnati. You know,

463
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 7: you're one, you know, executed block pun away from winning

464
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 7: that game because of being able to win the time

465
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 7: position battle and stand front.

466
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 2: So I'd have to give Zrego Dawdell.

467
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 7: He's he's been great over these last few weeks and

468
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 7: it's helping us overall off.

469
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 8: And Bergarcia currently the most important offensive player CD Lamb

470
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 8: or Rico.

471
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 4: Daddle currently us like this weekend currently defined currently. I

472
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 4: don't like this question because well that's the that's the

473
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 4: point of it, right, Okay, hold on, let me process this.

474
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 2: I currently process this. Please.

475
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 4: I would like to say, uh, fine, I'll go with

476
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 4: the running game. I'll go with Rico because, and this

477
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 4: is taken into account that Cooper Rush through three touchdown

478
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 4: passes to three different targets. So because initially my thought

479
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 4: is like, okay, what do you have at receiver. Really,

480
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 4: what have you been producing there? Not a whole lot.

481
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 9: But then also now that.

482
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,959
Speaker 4: It's kind of opening things up, is due to reco

483
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 4: down and moving the chains through the running game. So

484
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 4: as of right now, in this moment, in this second,

485
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 4: I'll go with Rico, what.

486
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 9: Are you looking at me like that for? Is it CD? CD?

487
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 3: Like it's CD.

488
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 6: I'll I'll take you back to this game, right, Cowboys

489
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 6: offense kind of been floundering a.

490
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 3: Little bit after and then what happened?

491
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 6: What happened there was there was a there was one drive,

492
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 6: the first scoring drive.

493
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 2: What happened?

494
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 3: Third down? Three times on that drive? Three times CD

495
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 3: CD CD. That's the difference.

496
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 4: Saying this whole season yes, yes, no no no no

497
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 4: no no no no no no.

498
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 6: What you have to realize, what you have to realize,

499
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 6: what you have to realize is on this team. Okay,

500
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 6: to put it to you like this take away CD,

501
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 6: you think Rico's getting much on the ground?

502
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 2: Yes, How if.

503
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 6: Defenses say we don't have to worry about CD, lamb,

504
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 6: how are they going to run the ball. I don't

505
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 6: think this is not a dominant offensive line. This is

506
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 6: a good offensive line. When they play at their best,

507
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 6: They're not dominant. So if defenses say we're gonna put

508
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 6: eight guys in the box, we're not worried about any

509
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 6: anybody on the back, and we're gonna man up across

510
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 6: the board.

511
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 3: How do you think they're gonna run the ball?

512
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 7: There have been some first down opportunities where CD has

513
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 7: been off the field in recent weeks, Bear and Rico

514
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 7: has been able to produce. That's that's what comes to

515
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 7: mind when I think about that and talking about Okay,

516
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 7: Rico wouldn't have any opportunities off CD is on the field.

517
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 7: I do see where you're coming from in that sense,

518
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 7: but I disagree. I'm not saying I'm not saying more

519
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 7: of an upfront situation with this offensive line. Truthfully, it's

520
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 7: because of the offensive line. I'm saying Rico dwell in

521
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 7: this instance. I think they would still be able to

522
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 7: pay lanes with the way that they are.

523
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 3: Blocking against an eight man front regularly. Yeah, I don't

524
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 3: think I don't get yards.

525
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 2: I don't think that.

526
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 6: I don't think they would consistently do that over a game.

527
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 6: And I get what you're saying, A player or two whenever,

528
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 6: when when one may be on the field and.

529
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 3: The others off that's fine.

530
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 6: I think if a defense goes into a game knowing

531
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 6: we don't have to deal with ceedee lamb, it changes

532
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 6: how they look at the Dallas Cowboys offense.

533
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 3: At that point they're like, guess what, we're gonna man

534
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 3: up and Cooper rush.

535
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 6: If you're good enough with these receivers to be able

536
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 6: to beat us in man coverage, great, go for it.

537
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, we're not going

538
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 3: to let you run.

539
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 6: And I think if they said we're not going to

540
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 6: let you run, they would stop that.

541
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 7: I think it's.

542
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 4: Okay looking at both you're taking CD all day like

543
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 4: if you gotta yes absolutely currently currently yes absolutely.

544
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 9: But the point is it just goes back to.

545
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 2: You being able to.

546
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 4: Okay, Brian, you know what you're doing, and you started,

547
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 4: but the point does know But the point goes back

548
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 4: to right now, what's happening with the game. The the

549
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 4: reason why you've been able to start doing a few

550
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 4: little things offensively is because you started running the ball.

551
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 4: And it doesn't go back to rica I'm saying, just

552
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 4: the ability to run the ball.

553
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 6: Obviously see commitment to comment, commitment to it right, and

554
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 6: I agree with that, but my point still remains. In

555
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 6: the NFL, as is the case in the NBA, as

556
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 6: is the case in Major League Baseball.

557
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 3: Players matter. When you have great.

558
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 6: Players, it affects how the other team has to deal

559
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 6: with you. And and right now, you look at this

560
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 6: offense right now, just currently constituted, how many great players

561
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 6: are on this offense?

562
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 3: Not good players, great players are on this offense. What

563
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 3: who is he?

564
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 2: CD Lamb?

565
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 3: You're right, I'll take the left guard.

566
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll take the left I'm not to discredit cd

567
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 7: Lamb because he he would easily be number two and.

568
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 3: A second thinking how can I then you get my

569
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 3: guy touches.

570
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 7: But he is a great player, absolutely, And we're looking

571
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 7: at the totality of it, like you said, we're taking

572
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 7: cdee Lamb. But if we're talking about right now, specifically

573
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 7: looking at these last three weeks, looking at the impact

574
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,959
Speaker 7: that Rico Dawdell has made for this offense as compared

575
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 7: to the impact that Cede Lamb has made to this

576
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 7: offense throughout the year. Even what we can even look

577
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 7: at these last three weeks too, I would take doubtell.

578
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 7: I mean it's it's like Dowdell Lamb everyone else.

579
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 3: I mean fair, but I would flip those two and

580
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 3: I think Dawdle's up there.

581
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 6: And don't get me wrong, I think Dabdall has played

582
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 6: a role really well this year, or at least when

583
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 6: they wanted to use him like that. And I'm as

584
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 6: big of me and Brian said back during training camp,

585
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 6: we both were agreed, if they give him the ball,

586
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,239
Speaker 6: if they're willing to commit to him, he's more than

587
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 6: enough at the.

588
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 2: Running back twelve hundred yards, yeah right now. And you

589
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 2: kind of gave us sat where he right now?

590
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 3: Like where's he's eight eighty?

591
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 2: Well yeah, but yeah, twenty yards.

592
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 4: He's had couple of weeks ago when they were not

593
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 4: running the ball doing nothing, you say CD.

594
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 3: Look, CD is still the centerpiece of this offense.

595
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 6: They needed to commit to running the ball because when

596
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 6: they run the ball, when they're committed to running the ball,

597
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 6: it creates opportunities for CD to do what he does

598
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 6: because now defenses have to at least be respectful of

599
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 6: the fact that Dallas will run the ball. When they

600
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 6: weren't running the ball then there was it was just

601
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 6: basically like we can take CD away and they're not

602
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 6: going to do anything.

603
00:27:53,760 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 4: Else, You're not wrong, and I agree, but currently out

604
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 4: one answer is slightly better than the other, and that's

605
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 4: mine and Nick's answer.

606
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what.

607
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 7: We're gonna find out a lot about what the respect

608
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 7: that Rico Dawdle's starting to gain around the league going

609
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 7: into this week. I don't want to get ahead of

610
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 7: Wednesday and Thursday. But this this Tampa Bay defense. They

611
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 7: stop the run.

612
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 2: Really well, but they can't stop bringing.

613
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 7: But they cannot stop the pass. So where do they

614
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 7: dedicate their time to Do they load the box and say, hey,

615
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 7: you have to make CD Lamb beat us. Or do

616
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 7: they put a couple of guys on CD and say,

617
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 7: hey you have to make Rego Dawdle beat us. And

618
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 7: I'd be curious to know what that looks like in

619
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 7: the first quarter.

620
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 6: On the point is you keep them off balanced by

621
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 6: doing different things. You move CD around, you see if

622
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 6: maybe you can get down out of space, like there

623
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 6: are things you can do to No matter which is

624
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 6: that decision they go with, you make it hard on

625
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 6: them to make that decision because you're still moving guys

626
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 6: around doing different things.

627
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 3: So there's a way to defeat it. You know, if

628
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 3: Dallas can do it.

629
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. If Dallas can do it's question. Boy,

630
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 2: that was a good than.

631
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 3: That brain and Brian Brock got.

632
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 2: That one over. I got that one.

633
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 3: Give me another one, all right.

634
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 2: Derek.

635
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 8: Bigger impact on the future of this defense, Marshawn Kneeling

636
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 8: or Mars Leafoul.

637
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 3: Mars that's pretty easy for me.

638
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 6: I think what we saw this last week was my

639
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 6: best hope for him. What I saw of him in

640
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 6: college from the things I saw, was that he was

641
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 6: a playmaker. He was a guy who's always around the ball,

642
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 6: and this defense, in my opinion, that's one of the

643
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 6: things I think this defense has really lacked for even

644
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 6: when they were pretty good under Quinn, they didn't really

645
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 6: have those playmaking linebackers. And you look across the NFL,

646
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,719
Speaker 6: and when you get great defenses, they don't just have

647
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 6: great pass rushers. They don't just have a great corner

648
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 6: or two. They also have somebody in the middle of

649
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 6: the defense that can make a difference, that can get

650
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,959
Speaker 6: to the ball and knock the ball out, that can

651
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 6: create turnovers. And so what I'm most excited about right

652
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 6: now on this defense is the linebacker position. If overshown

653
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 6: comes back, and I think he will be and just

654
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 6: be just as good as he was before. And Maryus

655
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 6: leafile there with him. I think Dallas is onto something

656
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 6: with those two linebackers. And we've seen when you've got

657
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 6: two of those guys, how great your defense. San Francisco.

658
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 6: I was thinking that Carolina here back when they had

659
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 6: keik Ley and and what was the other guy's name?

660
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 8: The short uh, I'm gosh, Keiley.

661
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 3: He one Man of the Year, he won Man of

662
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 3: the Year, NFL Man of the Year.

663
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 2: I know, Greg really small guy, the small line short linebacker.

664
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,719
Speaker 3: I have to look at it, but pay for them.

665
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 8: No, I'm like, I'm going way too far because I

666
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 8: I was going back to Sam Mills and guys like no, No,

667
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 8: it was it's like way too far back for there.

668
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 6: I see his face, Thomas Davis. That's what it was,

669
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 6: Thomas Davis. Thomas Davis. But I thought that was a

670
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 6: good linebacker with Keiley and him. I thought they had

671
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 6: a really good tandem there. I think if you get

672
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 6: two really good linebackers, and if one of them is

673
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 6: special and one's really good, you can do some damage

674
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 6: in this league. And I think right now, I look

675
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 6: at those two and over showing and I think you

676
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 6: can get too maybe two great ones.

677
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 2: And bar how about that Marshawn Kneelan or Marshleafel.

678
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 9: This one's easy.

679
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 4: I'm disappointed in you, Brian great first question that you

680
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 4: made it easy and I'm just kidding.

681
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 9: Uh, well not, I'm not.

682
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 4: I love Maris like I absolutely love the guy. He

683
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 4: has been so great and it quickly took a shift

684
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 4: because going into training camp after the draft, Nielan was

685
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 4: the one that you're excited.

686
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 9: For looking for.

687
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 4: Then he gets the injury and that kind of I mean,

688
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 4: it's sucked. But the moment that Marius got the opportunity,

689
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 4: especially with overshown coming out, he did not miss a beat.

690
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 4: And that's why you love. You love to have a

691
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 4: guy ready for the moment. And he was ready for

692
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 4: the moment, took advantage of it. And you see the

693
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 4: in the way that he plays. You see the amount

694
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 4: of preparation that he he has done. You see him

695
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 4: that he puts the work in his studies and he's

696
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 4: fast and not afraid to tackle. And like Derek said,

697
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 4: and going back to what happened this weekend, him punching

698
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 4: that ball out, those are the kind of players that

699
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 4: you want, that you that don't only go and tackling

700
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 4: out the plays over like you go for the ball,

701
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 4: be a what is it called ballhowker ballhawk?

702
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 7: Ball?

703
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, an eagle ball hawk that ball just.

704
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 2: Like that.

705
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 7: One time specially, you gotta be ready for it.

706
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 2: What do you got there?

707
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 7: Is this more so talking about the future or is

708
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 7: it talking about what we see impact.

709
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 2: In the future of this defense?

710
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 3: Is there a difference?

711
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,719
Speaker 7: Yeah? I was if we're talking about the season the future,

712
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 7: future of the future. Yeah, I'm thinking back and forth

713
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 7: here because we haven't seen what Marshawn Niland has can

714
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 7: do completely because he's he's been he hasn't been healthy

715
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 7: all year.

716
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 2: And I know what marsh sh Nieland.

717
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 7: Didn't as as a college player and what he can

718
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 7: bring to the NFL. I feel like he hasn't gotten

719
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 7: a fair shot at seeing that yet, whereas Mary's Leafel

720
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 7: is now starting to get that complete opportunity.

721
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 3: Okay, so so real quick, not to interrupt, but I

722
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 3: want you to answer this.

723
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 2: Are you interrupted part of it?

724
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 3: You said you saw what he did in college.

725
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 6: Explain for the folks out there what you mean by that,

726
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 6: because that that's what you could expect as very best

727
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 6: of him in the NFL.

728
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, whenever we were going talking on the Draft show

729
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 7: about Marshaw Neeland compared him to a poor man so

730
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 7: Marcus Lawrence, in the sense that he can seal the

731
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 7: edge really well. He plays the run really well. He's big,

732
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 7: he's physical, he can overpower undersized offensive tackles or even

733
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 7: average sized offensive tackles and get to the quarterback. The

734
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 7: sack numbers haven't really been there for him throughout his

735
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 7: entire career, but he does have ability at just making

736
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 7: life difficult for opposing quarterbacks. And but it's it's his

737
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 7: strength in the run game that I think is really,

738
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 7: uh really fun and and if you're looking at Mary's leafel,

739
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 7: you also kind of see a well rounded player, but

740
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 7: maybe with more so an emphasis on on the run

741
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 7: game that we've seen in the NFL so far, him

742
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 7: being able to fill running lanes and be a very

743
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 7: decisive of doing that. I'm gonna I'm gonna say, Leo foul,

744
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 7: but I am not discounting the fact that Neiland has health.

745
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 7: Bro I'm not riding the fences.

746
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 6: Such a good argument, and I wanted to go he

747
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 6: wanted you to go.

748
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 7: I am saying Leo fl but it made such a

749
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 7: good argument for that is I'm giving neland a little

750
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 7: bit more credit here.

751
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 6: Okay, So Brian, let me ask you this question. Both

752
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 6: of you, guys, Amber jump into here. Here's the question ceiling.

753
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 6: Let's but let's see. Let's see you just said you

754
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 6: compared him to a poor man's Tank Lawrence. Yeah, let's

755
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 6: assume he becomes Tank Lawrence. Give me a comp for

756
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 6: what you think based on what you've seen, on what

757
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 6: you think marys Leaphile.

758
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:45,280
Speaker 3: Can become mmmm man because.

759
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 6: You're giving him best case scenario. What's best case scenario

760
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:48,240
Speaker 6: for Marris Leophile?

761
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 2: What did I come?

762
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 7: I gotta look at what my convoys for him last

763
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 7: year coming out?

764
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 2: Can he be like if you're doing Cowboys?

765
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 3: Anybody you give me?

766
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:01,280
Speaker 2: Could he be like Brady James? Maybe a or maybe more.

767
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:07,479
Speaker 7: Notice a little bit higher than Brads. Let me cook

768
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 7: on this all right.

769
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 6: Reason. The reason why is because I hear what you're

770
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 6: saying about Tank, and I have a feeling if it's

771
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 6: James comparison, if his career plays out exactly like like Tanks,

772
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 6: I think Tank is very underrated because he doesn't have

773
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 6: the sacks, and at defensive end you don't have the

774
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 6: huge number of sacks, then you don't get the same

775
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 6: level of respect. But if you're a linebacker that's a

776
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 6: playmaking linebacker, you're going to have those splash plays.

777
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 3: You're going to have those plays everybody.

778
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 6: So in a lot of people's minds, if that's the case,

779
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 6: Marris would be a higher ranked player than Eland would be.

780
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 2: Yeah.

781
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 8: See to me, I don't know, are we kind of

782
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 8: is this the ceiling for Merris the way he's playing.

783
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 9: I don't think this is a ceiling for him. What

784
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,520

00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 2: No? I mean sometimes players are they play at their

787
00:35:59,440 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 2: best level.

788
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:01,440

00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 4: the scheme and like when you talk about having a guy.

793
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 2: Like I think this guy is going to become a

794

Speaker 2: good pass rusher.

795
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 3: But I don't anything. Oh yeah, I just wonder. I

796
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 3: just wonder if Maris.

797
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,200

800

Speaker 10: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per

854
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 10: But the good news is Todd has a T and

Speaker 10: T five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and

856
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 10: he learned the best thing to do is stop running

857

Speaker 6: of Brian brought us.

864
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,319

865
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 2: Got a G rank these offensive linemen and level of play?

866
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 9: Hold on, let me pull up go ahead.

867
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,439
Speaker 2: And level of play? Guidon Smith.

868
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 9: Bb are.

869
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 2: Who am I gonna put it? Right? Card Hoffman Hoffman.

870
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 2: I was kind of thinking maybe I'll put him. That

871
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 2: was put.

872
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 8: Hoffman and Steel, Guidon Smith, bbe, hoff and Steel them

873
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 8: ranked them as a level of play.

874
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 9: Okay, I'm talking about this season.

875
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,919
Speaker 7: Yeah, last year, I didn't know if we're talking about

876
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 7: like career wise, the last.

877
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 4: Couple of weeks almost said a bad word on there.

878
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:27,839
Speaker 9: All right, let me process this.

879
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 4: I would go with Smith first, and then what I'm

880
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 4: battling with is excitement versus looking at the whole year

881
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 4: like what it's been. With that being said, I'm talking

882
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 4: about Hoffmann specifically, just because he brings a different level

883
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 4: of excitement that you're like, Okay, you've seen this type

884
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 4: of aggressiveness that you kind of have lacked for a

885
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 4: little bit. It's just something different to have in there.

886
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 4: But also sometimes I think about.

887
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 9: He's a little too aggressive.

888
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:05,800
Speaker 4: It's like, Okay, calm down a little bit too But Smith,

889
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with potentially bbe next, and then Hoffman Steel.

890
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 2: How about you, Derek.

891
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 6: You know, ironically I did the exact same thing, and

892
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 6: I was the only part I was a little bit

893
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 6: torn on is I was torn between Guiding and Steel

894
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 6: whether I thought Guiding was a bit better than Steel.

895
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 6: But I think will push me on exactly. And I

896
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 6: also think the last couple of weeks have kind of

897
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 6: shape given me a little more towards Steele, Like.

898
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been pretty good.

899
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 6: They made the change the right guard exactly, so it

900
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 6: makes me wonder how much that was affecting his place.

901
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:51,959
Speaker 6: So I'm giving him a little bit more difference there.

902
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,280
Speaker 6: So that's kind of how it would go. Smith Bebe,

903
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 6: Hoffman Steele.

904
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 7: I also want to give credit to Steel in the

905
00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 7: run game. I feel like he's been he's been really

906
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 7: strong in the You want to do that, yeah, I

907
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 7: am sure this time I had the same order as well.

908
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:13,479
Speaker 7: I'd be going Smith, bb Hoffman Steel, Guiden is is guiding.

909
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 8: The issue, like I say, is the with goe if

910
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 8: he has not had not had the penalties, the holdings,

911
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 8: the lining ups, the things like that.

912
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 2: Would you give it more? Are you agree?

913
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 7: He's also boom or bust at times though, where it's

914
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 7: it's like he's great against Cleveland and then he has

915
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,879
Speaker 7: some severe breakdowns against uh trying to think of one

916
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 7: off the top of my head where it was just

917
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 7: a bad game for him, Yes, Saints is Yeah, I mean,

918
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 7: may as well just go to the next week where

919
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 7: it's just like, man, how did he allow that to happen?

920
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 18: Yeah?

921
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.

922
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,919
Speaker 6: I thought Geydon was might sound weird, but I thought

923
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 6: he was actually better than I expected him to be

924
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 6: this year. I thought as bad as the penalties were,

925
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 6: I thought they were gonna be even worse because in camp,

926
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 6: literally it seemed like every rep.

927
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 3: His hands are outside.

928
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 6: I was like, he's gonna get flagged every play, Like

929
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 6: literally every play he's gonna have a holding call.

930
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 3: And it wasn't that bad.

931
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 6: Like he had some penalties, it wasn't as bad as

932
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 6: I thought it was going to be.

933
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:06,839
Speaker 3: And so I still have.

934
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,760
Speaker 6: Hope that he's going to be a really good NFL player.

935
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 6: I wonder if it may be on the right side

936
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 6: versus the left, but I still have hope he's going

937
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 6: to be really good player. And then when you say

938
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 6: talk about BB, I think BB, in my opinion, was

939
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 6: every bit what I thought he was going to be,

940
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,280
Speaker 6: which is a really good player. So far as a rookie,

941
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 6: the expectation for him is that now he's going to

942
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 6: be competing as one of the better centers in the NFL.

943
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 6: If they keep messing and they might move in the

944
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 6: guard my expectations. If he moved guard, he probably just

945
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 6: as good there. So either way, I think he's gonna

946
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 6: be a really good player real quick.

947
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 8: Just maybe yes or no answer. Were they wrong not

948
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 8: starting Hoffman the whole.

949
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 3: Year at center and putting BB at guard.

950
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 8: Or BB being a swing guy or being the guard yeah,

951
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:47,439
Speaker 8: the backup guy?

952
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, you know, like he could have been. He

953
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 2: could have been now the role that Hoffman hads.

954
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 6: I don't know if I think that. I think BB's

955
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 6: been fine, like I don't think BB was. I think

956
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 6: BB has played well, So I think getting him reps

957
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,439
Speaker 6: as a rookie and he played well is a great thing.

958
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 3: That's better.

959
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 6: That's better for me than Hoffman being in there and

960
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 6: maybe not seeing an appreciable difference between the two.

961
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 8: It so, I wonder if hapman playing sixteen or seventeen

962
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 8: weeks is a good thing?

963
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 2: Yeah? Is hap been playing five weeks a good thing?

964
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 9: Yeah?

965
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

966
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 3: And wait, what are you getting?

967
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 8: Well?

968
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 2: He gets broken down? Got like he plays really really well.

969
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 8: He's fresh for five six weeks, and then week seven,

970
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 8: week eight he starts to get beat up and get war.

971
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 2: Down and is not as effective.

972
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

973
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 7: Well, I had to ask him last week. I was like,

974
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 7: this is the first time in your prayer you've been

975
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 7: able to stack.

976
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 3: Nick's doing his job and that's what he does.

977
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 7: I pushed my glasses. I asked him last week, you've

978
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 7: been able to stack games for the first time of

979
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 7: your career. Do you feel like you've gotten better over

980
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 7: the course of these games? And he does feel like

981
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 7: he's playing his best football right now and his body's good. No, No,

982
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 7: you're right, seventeen games.

983
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 2: I wonder if you wonder if what he would have

984
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 2: been at center for seventeen games? Yeah, what do you have?

985
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 2: Been broken down? You know that kind of thing.

986
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 3: But I love what they got from BB.

987
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 6: I think he's been a really good for them, and

988
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 6: I think that that experience is in value.

989
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:06,359
Speaker 17: Was a rookie.

990
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 2: All right, Thank you guys.

991
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:08,240

Speaker 2: Brian, I try, I try.

993
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 8: It took me to week sixteen, but here we are.

994
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 2: All right.

Speaker 3: We appreciate you guys. Tomorrow, tomorrow we dive in.

996
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 6: This is gonna be the gauntless of these three games.

997
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 6: It starts with Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tomorrow we'll start breaking

998
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,800
Speaker 6: down that team, that Tampa Bay offense versus the Cowboys defense.

999
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 3: Until then, for Nick Harris, Brian brought us an Ambergarci.
