You made it clear, leader, he said, we're 25 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 3: talking football all day. Okay, where we're We're talking about 26 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 3: what's going on on the football field. And so that's 27 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 3: what we're doing tonight. The Cowboys season has come to 28 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 3: a close. Uh the They finished seven nine and one 29 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 3: on the season after the loss of the Giants to 30 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 3: finish things up. It's a overall the the the overall 31 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 3: arc of the Cowboys. This season went so many different directions. 32 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 3: Like a lot of times, I get to the end 33 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 3: of the season and I feel like, man, that season 34 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 3: went by in a flash. This felt like this season 35 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 3: had so many different storylines and different things happened that 36 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 3: this felt like a long time. But you know, you 37 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 3: you've got the storyline of you know, Shoty kind of 38 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 3: taking over his first year as a coach, and then 39 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 3: you know the struggles with the defense, but the offense 40 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 3: is high powered. What Pickens was doing then you obviously 41 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 3: had the the awful incident with Marshawn Neeland, the tragedy 42 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 3: that happened there, then kind of rallying outside of that, 43 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 3: and after the trade with Quinn Williams, then sort of 44 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 3: the back and forth close to the season. So a 45 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 3: lot of different angles here to you, Nate, when you 46 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 3: think back on this twenty twenty five season, what's kind 47 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 3: of like the big picture takeaway for you? Something that 48 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 3: maybe you taken it next year, or just if you 49 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 3: were trying to describe to somebody what this season was about, 50 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 3: how would you describe it? 51 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 4: It was about building for me from day one, you know, 52 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 4: in of y'all to talk to me doing training camp, 53 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 4: I had no problem with saying, hey, fellas, it's gonna 54 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 4: be a struggle. I see this player, I see that player, 55 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 4: I compare this player, I see this and I knew 56 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,839 Speaker 4: it was gonna be a struggle. So where we sit 57 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 4: is not it's disappointing as a fan, but this is 58 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 4: this is kind of what I saw us at. 59 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: We did the Quinny. 60 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 4: Williams deal, and that was big for me because now 61 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 4: we gave ourselves a building block on defense, somebody that 62 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 4: we can build around him, and Kenny Clark now OSAs 63 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,679 Speaker 4: is so much more effective as a player because you 64 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 4: don't have to play sixty snaps at two hundred and 65 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 4: twenty five pounds defensive tackle. So and I meant what 66 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 4: I said, two hundred twenty five pounds, it's I see growth. 67 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 4: I can see where this team if let the head 68 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 4: coach do his thing, I can see this team doing 69 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 4: something special next year and gaining ground and footing. But 70 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 4: by what I saw and understanding what I saw. 71 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 3: You know it's there. There was a clip that went 72 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 3: sort of viral off a Hard Knocks yesterday which covers 73 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 3: the NFC East and does the different areas, and Dak 74 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 3: was out of the dinner with the offensive line and 75 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 3: Tyler Booker was talking about, you know, the thing that 76 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 3: surprised me the most is I guess just how close 77 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 3: we all are close? And like Dak stopped him down. 78 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 3: I was like, do not take that for granted, because 79 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 3: not all teams are close. This is not normal. And 80 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 3: Dak said something that I think kind of clipped out 81 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 3: of context caught people's attention, where he said, you know, 82 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 3: this season, don't let anyone tell you it was a failure. 83 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 3: This season was a success, and I think he's just 84 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 3: obviously talking about in reference to we're building towards something bigger, 85 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 3: and we were able to build the foundation this year. 86 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 3: Do you feel like, Nate, that that's at least what 87 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 3: was accomplished. You're outside of record or anything else. Do 88 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 3: you feel like, hey, the foundation, the tone, the standards, 89 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 3: what's expected of you that was established this year? 90 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: I really do. 91 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 4: I didn't like how some things would handling, but for 92 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 4: the most part, coach Shotty did a good job. He 93 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 4: seemed to be in control of most of the situations 94 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 4: that are owned and off the field. 95 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: I like that right there, because I. 96 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 4: Think when you look at a team, you got to 97 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 4: look at the head coach and what he stands from 98 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 4: what he's trying to put in place. 99 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: The guys feel good about him. The guys that probably. 100 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 4: Don't even like him respect who he is because he's 101 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 4: talks to him straight up. 102 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: He don't change, you know. 103 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 4: I saw how he did a couple of press conferences 104 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 4: and I'd be like, man, this dude, he ain't saying 105 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 4: the right thing. Don't you know he dealing with the 106 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 4: Dallas cowboy fans. Well, no, he did this the same way, 107 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 4: every way the same way. So he was consistent. So 108 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 4: now what we need is far to have an off 109 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 4: season with him at the him, with a new defensive 110 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 4: coordinator at the him, with him being the coordinator, whoever 111 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 4: else has helped him, office after him, working with guys 112 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 4: that are here and working. We don't need this coming year. 113 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 4: And you didn't ask me this. We don't need this 114 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 4: coming year a bunch of guys not being here. You know, 115 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 4: the only way you're gonna build on what you had 116 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 4: is to be here and be a part of it 117 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 4: and go through the ups and downs and get to 118 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 4: know who you're playing next to and what he is 119 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 4: about and what that situation is. The purpose is to 120 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 4: win games, not to deal with people's feelies, not to 121 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 4: be somebody's best friend. And I think by him saying, hey, 122 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 4: I got your phone number, you got my phone numb 123 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 4: and called me man the man that's wrap, ain't your daddy, 124 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 4: ain't your mama, and ain't your best friend. I'm your 125 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 4: head coach trying to drive you to be better. 126 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 3: Guys, I'm curious, Tommy says, I kind of pull you 127 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,559 Speaker 3: all in here as well. You look back at this season, 128 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 3: everything that happened here. What's the big takeaway for you? 129 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 3: I mean, obviously, I think the big underlining factor for 130 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 3: everybody because there's so many different storylines that happened. But 131 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 3: the big takeaway here is the defensive struggles that occurred 132 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 3: and how do you repair that and can you repair 133 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 3: it enough to be a contender next year to match 134 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 3: with this offense that's clearly one of the most explosive 135 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 3: in the NFL. What were some of y'alls takeaways this year? 136 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 5: No, I think the defense for sure takes the headline, 137 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 5: just to the sense of it seemed like so many 138 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 5: times more often than not, and even later in into 139 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 5: the season, when you think, Okay, as time goes on, 140 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 5: these guys get more playing time next to each other, 141 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 5: there's going to be less breakdown in communication, there's going 142 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 5: to be less mistakes made, and it just seemed like 143 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 5: it was consistent in that aspect all year, and that's 144 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 5: kind of baffling in it makes you think, Okay. 145 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: Why, how is that even possible? 146 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 5: A lot of guys have been healthy, they've come back, 147 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 5: and they're playing with each other to hear down the stretch, 148 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 5: and we string three wins together to start and then 149 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 5: after that they lose what four, that'll last five? 150 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: And so it's where's the disconnect. 151 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 5: I think you got your answer with the decision to 152 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 5: move on from Matt Eberfluss, and now I think the 153 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 5: most important portion of this offseason is going to be 154 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 5: who do they go with a defensive coordinator and what 155 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 5: do they want their personnel to look like because they 156 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 5: are so far away, I think, personnel wise on defense 157 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 5: from being a top caliber defense in the NFL. That 158 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 5: being said, I don't think they need a top ten 159 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 5: unit on defense to get into the playoffs and maybe 160 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 5: contend for a Super Bowl. I say maybe, because you 161 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 5: do need a good defense I think now in the 162 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 5: NFL to contend for a super Bowl, but to not 163 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 5: be seven, nine or one. 164 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: If you get any sort. 165 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 5: Of improvement on the defensive side of the ball, I 166 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 5: think you win more games in twenty twenty six. So 167 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 5: who they gat as defensive coordinator and who they bring 168 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 5: in from a personnel standpoint is going to be very, 169 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 5: very important. And I know I'm not breaking any news 170 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 5: here with that, but I think we you just learn 171 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 5: how important that is based on how this season went. 172 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 6: What I thought about the season, guys was the expectation 173 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 6: level was not high, and I looked at it as 174 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 6: a wasted opportunity, a damn shame, and only because I 175 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 6: personally thought, maybe they'd win eight games. 176 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: Eight games. Let's see what Shoy can do. Hopefully he 177 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: can build a culture. 178 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 6: I didn't expect them to, you know, run through the 179 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 6: playoffs his first year. There was there was no expectation 180 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 6: of Super Bowl. 181 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:41,959 Speaker 1: A bus. 182 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 6: This was in Philadelphia trying to get back to the 183 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 6: Super Bowl. So I call it a damn shame because 184 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 6: we didn't know we would have Dak Prescott for seventeen games. 185 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 6: Not only Dak Prescott for seventeen games, how about excellent 186 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 6: Dak Prescott for seventeen games. We didn't know who the 187 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 6: comedia of the running back was going big, just like 188 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 6: who is this committee? Committee's by a wide receiver doesn't work, 189 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 6: committis by running backs is not gonna work. Javonte Williams 190 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 6: is the real deal. My god, we found a running 191 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 6: back that was as good as Zeke and his prime. 192 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 6: That's like, we didn't see that coming and so and 193 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 6: you also found out that George Pickens was not a 194 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 6: head case. It's like, wait a minute, he's not Antonio 195 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 6: Brown to be He's not you know, this character from 196 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,719 Speaker 6: from Pittsburgh that everybody had a fear of what is 197 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 6: going to lose his mind? As far as we know 198 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 6: right now, he's just unusual. But he's not a bad case. 199 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 6: He's not a head case. With that being said, it 200 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 6: was a damn shame because all you needed was a 201 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 6: little bit more health and a little bit more. 202 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: I don't know more out of the defense. 203 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 4: You can, but I just that that's okay. But again, 204 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 4: I thought they were an as. I would not address 205 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 4: this during the season Bobby Me and him went weak, 206 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 4: and I would tell you, now, leave that man alone, 207 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 4: leave him alone, because we couldn't have brought nobody in 208 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 4: here at this point in time. What everybody keep missing 209 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 4: is the name of the game, and it's. 210 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: Called players win. Players win one more time. Players win. 211 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 4: Now, when you get players and start plugging them in, 212 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 4: then coaches can start seeing how to use them. 213 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: Because if players did not win, what is this game about? 214 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: We can just turn it. 215 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 4: To AI and everybody can get a come on, now, 216 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 4: I'm being honest. 217 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: Are you are you saying some robots out there? 218 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 3: Are you seeing? 219 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 6: Are you trying to say that he couldn't see what 220 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 6: kind of talent he had and match the scheme to 221 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 6: his town. 222 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: Let me say this right here, I'm just curious. 223 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 4: Let me sit right here.

We're gonna have to annoying him. You 227 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 4: just can't say once again. Okay, now we got another 228 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 4: bad coordinator. So when when do you When do you 229 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 4: take a look at the players? 230 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 3: No, I think that's a good point. In fact, we'll 231 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 3: take our first break here, Nate, and I want to 232 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 3: set you up just to think about this for when 233 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 3: we come back. So we'll take this first break on 234 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 3: the SLBBC Cowboys Cross Talk. When we come back, let's 235 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 3: go ahead and dive into what do they need to 236 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 3: repair the defense, whether that's the coordinator, what do they 237 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 3: need out of a coordinator? But then what do they 238 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 3: need to address personnel? And do they have enough resources 239 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 3: to be able to address those things? Because clearly there 240 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 3: were a lot of holes this season for the Cowboys 241 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 3: on defense.

There the idea of how do you 261 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 3: repair a defense to make it good enough to be 262 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 3: competitive next year? Because they've already changed out the defensive coordinator. 263 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 3: Remains to be seen. How many assistants are out. They've 264 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 3: got two first round picks, they are gonna have some 265 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 3: cap space. They're missing their Day two picks right now, 266 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 3: they don't have a second or third rounder. How do 267 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 3: they cobble together potentially enough resources to address the things 268 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 3: they need while also coupling a new coordinator? 269 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: Here, you you do business different. 270 00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 4: You go into free agency and you fix things. 271 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: I mean not not a week or two later. 272 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 4: You go in there and you find some dogs and 273 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 4: you and you sign them. 274 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: You you you take care the draft. 275 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 4: Whoever is the best player, and if you and if 276 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 4: you need defensive players, okay, whoever the best player? 277 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: We act like that, we that we have players. 278 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 4: I looked at this list of players for the Dallas 279 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 4: Cowboys defensively, and I said to myself, who, I said, 280 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 4: who are the dominating defensive player?

So 317 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 3: we're talking about this a little bit during the break, 318 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 3: and I had gone and looked some of this up earlier. 319 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 3: The Cowboys, if you go back to twenty nineteen and so, 320 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 3: just like, take years where they had a returning defensive 321 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 3: coordinator versus they had a brand new coordinator in there, 322 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 3: and how did they change things differently. So in the 323 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 3: years where they've had a returning defensive coordinator, they retain 324 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 3: about fifty percent of their defensive free agents. In the 325 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 3: years where it's a new defensive coordinator, they retained about 326 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 3: twenty four percent, So big purge right there. Out of 327 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 3: their first four rounds, their draft picks, they devote that 328 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 3: to defense sixty eight percent of the time with a 329 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 3: new coordinator. It's about fifty percent of the time when 330 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 3: it's returning coordinator. The amount of money they've spent an 331 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 3: outside free agent guarantees total was four million dollars in 332 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 3: those years where it's been a returning defensive coordinator. When 333 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 3: it's a new defensive coordinator, it's been forty three million. 334 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 3: So it does seem like They've got a history of 335 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 3: when a new coordinator comes in here that first year, 336 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 3: they do give them the opportunity to, hey, purge pick 337 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 3: and then from there we're gonna retain, but we'll give 338 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 3: you it. We'll let you buy some groceries this first year. 339 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 1: You know it. 340 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 3: Tell us what you need, you got the here's the 341 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 3: gift card, go out. 342 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:30,239 Speaker 1: There and get it. 343 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 3: How much do they need though? 344 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,959 Speaker 5: Is the thing that's That's what I'm getting at, is 345 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 5: how much work? Because you're just thinking about the draft. Yes, 346 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 5: you have two first round picks, right, do you feel 347 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 5: like you move back with that second one and try 348 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 5: and get a Day two pick or two day two 349 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 5: picks just so hear me out, just so you can 350 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 5: have more talented players that you can throw at your defense. 351 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 5: And or is that a decision that you say, Okay, 352 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 5: what can we get in free agency and then we 353 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 5: go from there. Because if you get enough in free 354 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 5: agency and you feel good, would you feel good enough 355 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 5: to pick both of those first round picks. 356 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: I'm on the same page with Nate. 357 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 6: You gotta go grocery shopping and free agency for real, 358 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 6: you can't do the second week. You gotta get guys 359 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 6: that you know can hit the ground running. Draft developed 360 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 6: means one thing they draft, but how quickly will they develop? 361 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 6: So when you play chess with draft picks, you already 362 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 6: need to know what you're already have in place. What 363 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 6: mess them up this offseason is they didn't have Micah 364 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 6: Parsons locked in. In other words, they played the delayed 365 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 6: game with him and it burned them because they wind 366 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 6: up trading him on the day of the first day 367 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 6: of the season or the first week of the season. 368 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 6: With that being said, had they traded Micah, if that 369 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 6: was their intention in April, you could have done better 370 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 6: in the draft. Had you traded Michael Micah or kept 371 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,719 Speaker 6: him signed in, you would have been able to know 372 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 6: in March and in April what you were planning on doing, and. 373 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,439 Speaker 1: Therefore you might have had a better defense. 374 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 6: And I'm going to give you one example of how 375 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,719 Speaker 6: this works because based on your charge that you gave out, 376 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 6: who is the coordinator before Dan Quinn Mike Nolan right, horrible? 377 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: They didn't get nothing done. They were terrible. 378 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 6: In fact, those three years, not just knowing them, but 379 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 6: the coordinator before him, they could not create takeaways. They say, oh, 380 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 6: it's a stat that says the interceptions and so you know, 381 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,719 Speaker 6: random you can't do it. Dan Quinn came in and 382 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 6: had a defense that was sick and destroyed. They were 383 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 6: scoop and scored. They would pick six, they were all 384 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 6: punching out the ball. They were doing all those things, 385 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 6: and they were aggressive. They were primarily man, but they 386 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 6: were aggressive. And guess what they did. They helped the 387 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 6: offense and the team together go twelve and five, twelve 388 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 6: and five, twelve and five. Don't ever let anybody say 389 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 6: dan Quinn was a failed coordinator because they didn't go 390 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 6: to the Super Bowl because the last game against Green Bay, 391 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 6: the whole team sucked. With that being said, you can 392 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 6: do these things if you do just what Nate said, 393 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 6: which is have your plan going in effect the first 394 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 6: the first week of free agency. 395 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: Then go from there. 396 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 4: It's the position that I'm talking about. You don't want. 397 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,199 Speaker 4: It's a proven fact. Go back and look, it's approven fact. 398 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 4: A linebacker in this league, about the middle of his 399 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 4: second year, if he got if he can hang to 400 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 4: with his team and in the same scheme, really start flourishing. 401 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 4: You look at Denver's linebackers, You look at you, you 402 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 4: look I can't think of the team we play. You 403 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 4: look at the Barrels linebackers. You know, you you you, 404 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 4: you look and you see these linebackers that flourishing. 405 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: It's a team came in. I can't think of his name. 406 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: His name is Henley. 407 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:25,719 Speaker 3: Uh oh, Dan Henley. 408 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:30,239 Speaker 1: That was the Chargers, right, did you see that? They? 409 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 4: Agent zero is balling lights out, sacks, pressures, uh, tackles 410 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 4: for losses, coverage. You need somebody that knows the game 411 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,679 Speaker 4: because there's so many nuances to a young guy trying 412 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 4: to learn this game. 413 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,719 Speaker 1: So that is a position that you want to go. 414 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,439 Speaker 4: Get a veteran with some with with a little tread, 415 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 4: but enough that you can prosper. Now you go into 416 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 4: the draft and if the person is there, you go 417 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 4: after it. 418 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: If he's not, you get the best available player. 419 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 4: Because we have no dominant areas right now that we 420 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 4: can say we're just so dominant we sit. 421 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, So who is that? 422 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 6: You know that's a that's a good one defensive tackle. 423 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 3: Well, and let's so let's really quickly we're doing Cowboys 424 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 3: crosstalk here on the Dallas Cowboys, right do network. Nate 425 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 3: Newton is our primary guest this evening. Let let's do 426 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 3: a quick inventory with you, Nate, and I'll just ask 427 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 3: you real quick down line, defensive tackle. You feel good 428 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 3: about the guys you have there? 429 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: Misuses? 430 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 3: Okay, edge, I assume you like Azaraku, but I like 431 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 3: you Clowney you'd like to bring back I would have 432 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 3: guessed and the right, right, right, But a player you 433 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 3: could absolutely see under the certain certain circumstance, city, Yeah, 434 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 3: he can contribute. Okay, So you still need probably with 435 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 3: the way those rotations go, two to three defensive ends, Yes, 436 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 3: that's you gotta add linebacker. You like Overshown, but he's 437 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 3: still coming back from an injury yet to see that. 438 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 3: But really only one linebacker that you feel really good 439 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 3: about right now? They like Shamar James, but you feel 440 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 3: good about one secondary Deron Blance coming off of another injury. 441 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 3: Ready Stewart was was decent this here. I thought I 442 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 3: was impressed by him. But otherwise your safeties you might 443 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 3: need to So what we're looking at here, Nate, is 444 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 3: probably what one to two corners, one to two safeties, 445 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 3: a couple of linebackers, and two edge rushers. That's a 446 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 3: lot of capital. How do they Where do you look 447 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 3: at in terms of saying, if you're a winning now team, 448 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 3: which positions did you find? Typically, younger players had trouble 449 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 3: coming in right away, like edge rushers historically as rookies 450 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 3: don't impact necessarily as well as maybe a rookie linebacker 451 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 3: does or something like that. Where are the positions that 452 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 3: you staggered because you say, I know a veteran kick 453 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 3: you're here quicker than a rookie. 454 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: That is where you gotta trust. 455 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 4: And Will you know you heard coach say call mister Jones, coach, 456 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 4: you heard him say today? 457 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: You know? 458 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 4: Will them don't pick our players. We do it as 459 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 4: coaches and management. 460 00:24:58,680 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: They need to leave it up to Will. 461 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 4: My thing is, if these guys have done the work, 462 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 4: why not have giving them a bigger input if they 463 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,439 Speaker 4: have done the work, Because I don't see the board, 464 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 4: I don't see the. 465 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: Player until he get the training camp, and when I 466 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: watched the. 467 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 4: Player, we we we have four stars on offense, and 468 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 4: they're all that wide receiver and running back and quarterback. 469 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 1: But if we had. 470 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 4: More than one Pro Bowl offensive lineman, a dominant offensive line, 471 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 4: we can tell what the offensive line. 472 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: Our defensive line. 473 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 4: Is real quick because you work against how your class 474 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 4: level level come to you. 475 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: That's what I learned when Jimmy got here. 476 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 4: Our game picked up because Charles Haley showed up, Tony 477 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 4: Toby showed up, Lennon let showed up, Tony. 478 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:52,479 Speaker 1: Cassilia showed up. 479 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 4: So when you go to training camp and if you 480 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 4: know what you're looking at, you don't have you don't 481 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 4: you don't shoot them goosts out there, you know, I 482 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 4: tell people, and I hope we go against the Rams 483 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 4: again in training camp. That is a marker that every 484 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 4: media guy seems to ignore. But the Rams smashed us 485 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 4: again in training camp for and nobody, and. 486 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 1: Look where they are today.

So here's what I 571 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 3: wanted to ask you about last year. I think when 572 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 3: they when they were looking at bringing in an offensive coordinator, 573 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 3: bringing in offensive coaches, I think something that was important 574 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 3: to this front office was, Hey, Terrence Steele's here. He's 575 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 3: under contract. We're gonna have Terrence Steele here because of 576 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 3: just financially what it means. So when you're coming in 577 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 3: here and you're pitching us on why you should get 578 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 3: the job, you better have a plan for that guy. 579 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 3: You better have your plan for Terrence Steele. And then 580 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 3: the best plan we hear for Terrence Steele maybe the 581 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 3: one that that you win the job, because that's so 582 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 3: important to us. Similarly, I think when they're gonna be 583 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 3: talking to defensive coordinators this year, they're probably gonna have 584 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 3: some conversations like, hey, Savone Revel, we just put a 585 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 3: lot of capital in him, you know, just a year. 586 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,479 Speaker 3: What's your plan for him? To Marvin Overshell, we like him. 587 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 1: Do you like him? 588 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 3: Because because he's got to be a part of this. 589 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 3: How do you see him fitting in? How do you 590 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 3: see scheming pressure as as what became the famous line, 591 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 3: how do you see so I think they're gonna have 592 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 3: someth What would you be asking about those meanings? What 593 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 3: would you be saying? Would you say, Hey, I need 594 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 3: to know how you're gonna handle this.

But it's on the other end of 601 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 4: the spectrum. Ben Johnson went to the Chicago Baths and say, 602 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 4: this is how I do it. He told this quarterback 603 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 4: Lenan Manafis said, man, what all you thought you knew? 604 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,359 Speaker 4: Throw that out the wonder. We're gonna do something new. 605 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,840 Speaker 4: Sean Payton went to the Denver Broncos and say, what 606 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:51,759 Speaker 4: your thought you knew? 607 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,360 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what wing gonna by. That's what 608 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 1: they told another player. The player the coach down and 609 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 1: the Texans Pingkrans. 610 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 4: They wanted his head man early in the season, but 611 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 4: they said, let's see what he gonna do. He controlled 612 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 4: his team so it can be both things, a lack 613 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 4: of good coaching, but you gotta understand it could be 614 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,879 Speaker 4: a lack of good good players too, and I agree. 615 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. So what I'm saying is. 616 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 4: This right here, when you're acting a coach, especially a 617 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 4: coach that knows what he's looking at and maybe not 618 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 4: need your job, and saying. 619 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: That the kids you name, they may be like now, coach, 620 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 1: I don't see what you see.

What makes your superstar 624 00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 4: is going out on the field playing and make him plays. 625 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 1: Same with coaches. You do have some coaches that are 626 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 1: exception to the rule. 627 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 4: And to read Sean Payton, those exceptions to the rule, 628 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,799 Speaker 4: you know, because we saw quickly what happened to Belichick 629 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 4: with no Brady, Oh that's a player. 630 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 1: Remember that now. 631 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 4: So when you are talking to a guy we love 632 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:28,279 Speaker 4: over shown, we love Ready Store, we love this guy, 633 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:29,800 Speaker 4: and coach saying. 634 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: But coach, that dude ain't what you think he is. 635 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,960 Speaker 4: So now he loses the job and you lose as 636 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 4: a good coordinator because he may see it a different way. 637 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:44,359 Speaker 1: Well, ain't that ain't how it should work. 638 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 4: The bottom line is, if you go out and you 639 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 4: interview people, everybody's gonna have I got some If I 640 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 4: look at enough film on Chris, on Tommy and on you, 641 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 4: I said, Okay, he can do this and he can 642 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 4: do that.

Travis Frederick said, like, I 687 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,239 Speaker 3: was not a big film guy. Actually, he's like, I 688 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 3: found that film at times would cause me to Yeah, 689 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 3: He's like, I would overthink and I would analyzed. I 690 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,239 Speaker 3: would start saying, oh, okay, they're gonna throw this at me, 691 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:04,880 Speaker 3: and then guys would throw counter moves out and that 692 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 3: it's like because I overthought, He's like, I found that 693 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,440 Speaker 3: it was best sometimes to just worry about me and 694 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 3: how I play, and then my technique and what I do, 695 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 3: and so obviously there are just different ways to do 696 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,359 Speaker 3: That was that probably when we talk about it, Hey, 697 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,239 Speaker 3: the player's gotta play, would you say that may have 698 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 3: been the biggest failure then of this defensive country staff. 699 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,000 Speaker 3: What was being able to figure out how do I 700 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 3: how do I connect with them to get them to understand. 701 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 4: And in the bottom line is understand this right here, fellas. 702 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 4: You gotta connect to the players. But when you come 703 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,879 Speaker 4: into building, you gotta have authority. That authority comes from 704 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 4: the top. You gotta have authority. He a son a 705 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:52,520 Speaker 4: son outside the hash tit on this situation twelve yards 706 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 4: off the ball, that's what we start. If you want 707 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 4: to go a little bit further back, it's okay with me, 708 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 4: not when we when that ball st you nine yards up. No, no, no, 709 00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,320 Speaker 4: it's no options when you're trying to get the basic 710 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:10,360 Speaker 4: foundation of an offense or defense. Coach Johnson used to 711 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,399 Speaker 4: always tell me, and even coach and Andrew would tell 712 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 4: his players, these veteran guys, once you understand where to 713 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,880 Speaker 4: be at what to do, then we will start catering 714 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,360 Speaker 4: to your talents. But we have to get a base 715 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,880 Speaker 4: defense first. You got to start somewhere. 716 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:27,359 Speaker 1: Now. 717 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 4: They said today in the press conference that you know, 718 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,160 Speaker 4: we want a guy that Okay, we don't came out 719 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:33,640 Speaker 4: the four three. 720 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,239 Speaker 1: We don't care about the three four. We no, no dada. Well, 721 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,320 Speaker 1: Philadelphia's a three four, but they never line up in it. 722 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,440 Speaker 4: But maybe ten percent of the time. Yeah, you know, 723 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 4: Denver's a three four. They may line up in it 724 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 4: maybe thirty five percent of the time. So yeah, you 725 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,320 Speaker 4: think they're four man front the way they get after you. 726 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:54,400 Speaker 4: So I tell pos right here, once you learn the 727 00:40:54,520 --> 00:41:01,400 Speaker 4: basic defense, and you you don't, you don't have so 728 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,279 Speaker 4: many times to practice, We're gonna have a bunch of 729 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:10,239 Speaker 4: new guys. We if they don't practice OTAs, if they 730 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 4: don't practice minicamps and they don't practice the preseason. When 731 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 4: do they get the reps to even play the basic 732 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:21,520 Speaker 4: defense offense? 733 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:21,879 Speaker 3: Yeah? 734 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,759 Speaker 1: Right, So nobody asked that question there, and I. 735 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:27,919 Speaker 3: Think that that was also when we asked Shoddy about 736 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 3: this a little bit at the end of year two. 737 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 3: I think that's why he kept playing guys after they 738 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,799 Speaker 3: were eliminated to part of his competition. I think part 739 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,640 Speaker 3: of it is with the CBA and other things shot, 740 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 3: He's like, hey, let's steal some time on task, Like, 741 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:39,759 Speaker 3: let's spend some time for guys who are gonna be 742 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 3: here as the core next year. Let's try some stuff. 743 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,160 Speaker 3: They went for it six times on fourth down against Washington. 744 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,399 Speaker 3: Let's try some fourth down stuff that you know we're 745 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,279 Speaker 3: gonna be carrying into next year anyway. Let's get some 746 00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:48,800 Speaker 3: time on that. 747 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 8: It. 748 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,480 Speaker 6: What's the damn shame about what Nate's talking about, as 749 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,560 Speaker 6: far as these guys getting reps or knowing what you got. 750 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,799 Speaker 6: When you draft all these guys, people forget and you're 751 00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:00,400 Speaker 6: talking about the talent. The talent didn't just all be 752 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:04,080 Speaker 6: bad like that. Then let people walk without replacing him properly. 753 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:08,120 Speaker 6: Take Lawrence is in Seattle going to the playoffs. Jordan 754 00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:12,400 Speaker 6: Lewis is in Jacksonville going to the playoffs. Uh ric 755 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 6: o'donno is going to the playoffs of Carolina. We did 756 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:16,800 Speaker 6: replace him with Javonte Williams. What I'm saying this is 757 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,320 Speaker 6: you should be going after guys that you already know 758 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,839 Speaker 6: are going to be as talented that or close to it. Now, 759 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:25,640 Speaker 6: I'm just talking about the free agents you're talking about. 760 00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:29,680 Speaker 6: You can't know for a fact in the draft, drafting developments. 761 00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:31,959 Speaker 6: Guess what they could hit the ground running, but guess 762 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:33,160 Speaker 6: what it might take two. 763 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 1: Or three years. 764 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 4: Tyler guid the deal that the deal that we have 765 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 4: to understand is whenever you put a young guy out there, 766 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:43,239 Speaker 4: it takes time. 767 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 8: You you you. 768 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,680 Speaker 4: Guide in first year sitting right here with you, I 769 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:54,839 Speaker 4: defended him. I defended him, this kid, savone rebel. I'm 770 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,200 Speaker 4: defending him even though I felt he shouldn't have not 771 00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:02,560 Speaker 4: touched the field. Still he should have not touched the field. 772 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,319 Speaker 4: But I'm gonna defend this kid. You know, Thomas said 773 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 4: he's gonna be great. Nate, yes, and Tommy, yes, he 774 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,919 Speaker 4: gonna be great.

You know, not not you come from stop 776 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,440 Speaker 4: shitting a dude down to Appleachia State. Now you got 777 00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 4: to see this dude from Philadelphia, not one, but two 778 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:21,760 Speaker 4: of them beasts. 779 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:23,040 Speaker 1: That ain't nothing. 780 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,480 Speaker 6: Justin Herbert too, That right there will ruin your career 781 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:27,760 Speaker 6: man psychologically. 782 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,920 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I mean there's there, there's a I think 783 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,680 Speaker 3: that's a balance too, And I think that's something that 784 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,960 Speaker 3: they they probably wait is the idea of how much 785 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:38,799 Speaker 3: do we want to get him some reps, knock off 786 00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,080 Speaker 3: some russ so he can have a full off season 787 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,080 Speaker 3: and be ready to go, Versus how much do those 788 00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 3: struggles he's inevitably gonna go through, How does he do 789 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 3: we know he can properly put it in the right 790 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,720 Speaker 3: context of not letting it destroy his competence. Jalen Tolbert 791 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,960 Speaker 3: had a calf strain his rookie year, missed a lot 792 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:57,720 Speaker 3: of the mini camp stuff, a lot of the rookie stuff, 793 00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,799 Speaker 3: and then he ended up getting into training camp being 794 00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,239 Speaker 3: behind everybody else. And when he got out there, he 795 00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,200 Speaker 3: talked about his confidence was shot when he saw how 796 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:07,920 Speaker 3: far behind he was and he wasn't able to put 797 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,160 Speaker 3: it in the right context. He was chasing that confidence, 798 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:11,960 Speaker 3: he talked about it. He was chasing that confidence who 799 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:15,359 Speaker 3: was there. Jalen Tolbert was chasing three years into his career, 800 00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,640 Speaker 3: trying to still catch up on that that he had lost. 801 00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,320 Speaker 3: So I think you're right too. It's like that you 802 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:20,879 Speaker 3: got to measure all of those things. 803 00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:29,960 Speaker 4: This is a league where if you're not healthy and 804 00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:32,560 Speaker 4: you and you go through what a lot of these 805 00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:37,880 Speaker 4: guys go through. Uh, then you come back trying to 806 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,080 Speaker 4: fight through what this kid fin to fight through? 807 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:40,759 Speaker 8: Uh. 808 00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:41,480 Speaker 1: Savone. 809 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,800 Speaker 4: Now that Jayleen Tober the same guy. I listen to you, 810 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:50,799 Speaker 4: what what's what's the issue now? 811 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:53,719 Speaker 3: Oh right, No, Like I think it's that that's the 812 00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,799 Speaker 3: the whole discussion is that Did that set him off 813 00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:58,680 Speaker 3: track to where he's always playing catch up with his 814 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,640 Speaker 3: confidence again?

I don't 840 00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:20,479 Speaker 3: want to just completely leave solutions for potentially even making 841 00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,600 Speaker 3: the offense better on the table before we get a 842 00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:23,680 Speaker 3: chance to get out of here, so I just I 843 00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:25,919 Speaker 3: want to ask you a couple of questions. They talked 844 00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,680 Speaker 3: about Tyler Smith today. He had been looking for clarity, 845 00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:30,680 Speaker 3: said did not sound like he wanted to play tackle. 846 00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:34,200 Speaker 3: Necessarily said he would, but clearly sounded like he preferred guard. 847 00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:36,920 Speaker 3: Shot he said, today, yeah, talk to him. I think 848 00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,359 Speaker 3: he said he talked to him today. Yeah, yeah, he said, 849 00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,400 Speaker 3: told him, Hey, you're a guard until we need you 850 00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:43,560 Speaker 3: to be a tackle, and if we need you to 851 00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:45,760 Speaker 3: be a tackle, you're gonna be a tackle. And it's 852 00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:47,719 Speaker 3: one of the more blunt times I think we've heard. Shot. 853 00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,000 Speaker 3: He like describes his interactions to the places they respected 854 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:51,520 Speaker 3: each other, didn't It didn't sound like it was an issue. 855 00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,880 Speaker 3: But your thought on what's the best way to proceed 856 00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,239 Speaker 3: with the way the offensive line is set right now? 857 00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:03,600 Speaker 4: Strength with your left tackle, that that the left guard 858 00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:06,319 Speaker 4: that played left tackle for three games. Your strength would 859 00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,520 Speaker 4: be your middle of your your offense. You you you 860 00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:13,480 Speaker 4: can't leave the middle of your offense week. You know 861 00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:16,800 Speaker 4: you can deal with outside forces, but you cannot deal 862 00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:20,759 Speaker 4: with you gotta look at your division. What in our 863 00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,279 Speaker 4: division tells you we better not, We better not put 864 00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:24,360 Speaker 4: put this boy inside. 865 00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:27,960 Speaker 1: We gotta do that. Yeah, and we gotta. 866 00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,120 Speaker 3: You have two of that. You arguably the two best 867 00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:32,279 Speaker 3: defensive tackles in football in your division at Jalen Carter 868 00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:32,640 Speaker 3: and Texter. 869 00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,080 Speaker 4: Yes, so you you you gotta take care of that. 870 00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,560 Speaker 4: The whole NFC is built like that, getting after you. 871 00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:41,600 Speaker 4: You've seen Seattle. That's why Tank he's doing what he's doing. 872 00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:43,839 Speaker 4: It ain't that Tank got better when he left here. 873 00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:44,880 Speaker 1: He just surround. 874 00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,640 Speaker 4: He's got about four or five dogs up front. That's 875 00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,759 Speaker 4: that's hunting with it. So I tell people like, right here, 876 00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:56,359 Speaker 4: you have to be strong somewhere, and why not let 877 00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,120 Speaker 4: it be the middle of your offense Because any quarterback 878 00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,759 Speaker 4: worthing salt On tell you I'd rather step up and 879 00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:05,280 Speaker 4: find a open pocket than to be sprinting out, always 880 00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:07,319 Speaker 4: trying to throw from one side of the field. 881 00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:11,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know, I learned that after Mark two 882 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,040 Speaker 1: and they got all the money. 883 00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:15,280 Speaker 4: I'm like, well, why y'all pay him all the money 884 00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:16,920 Speaker 4: if I got to be the guy to make sure 885 00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:18,359 Speaker 4: he can run the dude round the loop. 886 00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,719 Speaker 1: But that's neither here nor there. But I tell people 887 00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:22,399 Speaker 1: that he's right here. 888 00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:27,200 Speaker 4: You have to play this kid at left guard, not 889 00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,640 Speaker 4: because he's the greatest left guard, one of the greaves 890 00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,400 Speaker 4: of guard. But because it makes your middle of your 891 00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,680 Speaker 4: you don't have to worry as much. You take him out. 892 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:37,959 Speaker 1: You need Cooper BB. 893 00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,320 Speaker 4: That ain't gonna be nothing nice. Yeah, you know, And 894 00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,719 Speaker 4: so you got Booker in him. Booker's coming. Now you 895 00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,640 Speaker 4: got BB. He's trying to be a bulldog. Now you 896 00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:48,840 Speaker 4: can sustain something. 897 00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:50,600 Speaker 6: So you say and keep still where he is on 898 00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:52,600 Speaker 6: the right and keep Tyler got win. 899 00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:53,920 Speaker 1: He kind's hell. No, no, no, no, no, no no. 900 00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:56,600 Speaker 4: I did not say that. I did not say that. 901 00:51:56,760 --> 00:52:00,800 Speaker 4: That's Chris said that. Go once in this it's another position. 902 00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:03,759 Speaker 4: I think we should attack with free agency. There you go, 903 00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:07,120 Speaker 4: which one one of those tackles? Which would you Which 904 00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:08,120 Speaker 4: do you think you got? 905 00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,279 Speaker 1: You're not gonna nobody giving up no left tackle. You 906 00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:13,439 Speaker 1: forget that. No, go I didn't find your right time. 907 00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:16,200 Speaker 1: Go out and find your right tack. 908 00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:18,520 Speaker 6: In other words, that's still because you could save money 909 00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:19,520 Speaker 6: by cutting steel. 910 00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,080 Speaker 1: To something, you know, So go go out and find 911 00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:25,320 Speaker 1: your right tackle. You know. Still is one of the 912 00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:29,160 Speaker 1: few players that and I'm serious that I hate talk. 913 00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:29,960 Speaker 1: The kid is. 914 00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,200 Speaker 3: He's nice, he is he is a man and he 915 00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:36,399 Speaker 3: is one of he has been routinely over the past 916 00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:39,200 Speaker 3: five years talked about is one of the hardest offseason working. 917 00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,359 Speaker 1: Yeah. Man, he's a man. So I'm saying to myself, Man, 918 00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:45,320 Speaker 1: if his abilities was in it was his heart was 919 00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:46,200 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. 920 00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,400 Speaker 4: Uh So that's one of the few guys that you know, 921 00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:54,480 Speaker 4: you hear me say, wow, you know. But anyway, that's 922 00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,360 Speaker 4: what I would do. The two positions I would address 923 00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:01,920 Speaker 4: in free agency is attack in a line back. 924 00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:06,759 Speaker 3: How do they get to the point where, especially in 925 00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:08,200 Speaker 3: the second half of the season, I think you saw 926 00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:12,120 Speaker 3: occasionally they'd cross into the twenties and you'd tighten up 927 00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,240 Speaker 3: in the red zone. They weren't always able to execute 928 00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,600 Speaker 3: down there. Sometimes they would get down there and it 929 00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:19,279 Speaker 3: felt like, all right, we're settling for a field goal here. 930 00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:22,560 Speaker 3: Too often trading touchdow or trading you know, touchdowns for 931 00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:25,880 Speaker 3: field goals. How do they go about maximizing things? I 932 00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,480 Speaker 3: know Clayton Adams talked last week, I think about the 933 00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:30,160 Speaker 3: thing he was most excited about drilling down I was 934 00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:32,839 Speaker 3: how do I maximize Pickens and Lamb to be too 935 00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:38,719 Speaker 3: like maximum capability and ability type of receivers. How do 936 00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,160 Speaker 3: they get better at at converting those two touchdowns more 937 00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:42,680 Speaker 3: often this offseason? What is his name? 938 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,439 Speaker 1: Yeah? How about using yeah? 939 00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:50,160 Speaker 3: He played, he continued to progress. 940 00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:55,239 Speaker 4: How about using the dude what is sixteen feet tall 941 00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:58,600 Speaker 4: and got good hands, big hands? 942 00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:02,239 Speaker 1: Using Yeah, he's a beast. You you see him, he 943 00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:03,120 Speaker 1: caught a touchdown. 944 00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,759 Speaker 4: Coach, if the thing that makes me, the thing that 945 00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:09,239 Speaker 4: makes me laugh is we have some players I think 946 00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:12,160 Speaker 4: on the squad, but uh. 947 00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:14,200 Speaker 1: They're not being used. 948 00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:19,279 Speaker 4: And and uh, I tell you what, Coach shattys sitting 949 00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:20,920 Speaker 4: right in this place where we're at today. 950 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,120 Speaker 1: You know what, coach, when you get down there and. 951 00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:27,520 Speaker 4: There's five six, I mean it's it's five or six inches, 952 00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:32,719 Speaker 4: run the ball, Run the ball man.
