0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.560
<v Speaker 1>do that. We'll do a little bit of that and uh,

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>at some point that chair will be filled. Right now

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 1>it's empty. Oh and there he is. Yeah, Yeah, a

0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:23.880
<v Speaker 1>grand interest Kit Garrison next door producing as always, and uh,

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>it's a practice day for your Dallas Cowboys Yeah, on

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 1>a Wednesday. It's also Redskins Week. When did you write

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:35.600
<v Speaker 1>that book on the Redskins Mickey uh nineteen ninety seven,

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.800
<v Speaker 1>ninety seven, Yeah, matchups. She did something like that. We

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 1>did twenty best games in Cowboy Redskin history, ten for

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:49.160
<v Speaker 1>each ten wins for each team. Wow. Okay, but you

0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 1>did the research. Didn't you interview the guy one time?

0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:53.640
<v Speaker 1>When we were at Valley Ranch, we interviewed the guy

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>you wrote. You co wrote that with Ravil. Yeah, he's

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 1>a Washington Post guy. He was a Washington Times guy.

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Of course, the way newspapers have gone, he's been long

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 1>gone from there also, So the Redskins seem to be

0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 1>trying to revive the rivalry. From what I've seen this

0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>is they've already put a big banner when you walk

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 1>into their practice facility, and it's got big bold letters

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>and it says Cowboys Week. And that's what it used

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>to be called in the seventies and eighties, Georgia Allen.

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 1>And now they're they're doing a promotion because they haven't

0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 1>had a sellout at that stadium in like forever, and

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 1>so they're trying to sell it out. So they're doing

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 1>a promotion out there if you have some sort of

0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:41.080
<v Speaker 1>mean tweet or something you get for free tickets, and

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:44.440
<v Speaker 1>they're going to have a concert outside beforehand with some

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 1>country band called low Cash all capital letters, by the way,

0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 1>and then they're tweeting out hashtag beat Cowboys. It's Burgundy week,

0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 1>by the way, so the Cowboys better any week. This

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 1>is Redskins week here, By golly, you know, I have

0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:06.800
<v Speaker 1>a big deal around here. You know. It's Nikki's right.

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Though you watched their tape. There's a lot of yellow

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.520
<v Speaker 1>seats when you would see those home games. You know

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 1>what they did too, is they took out that upper depth.

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 1>They didn't block it off. They took the seats out, yea.

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.440
<v Speaker 1>And they were gonna sell standing room on the kind

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 1>of way the Cowboys had, right, But there's they are

0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:25.640
<v Speaker 1>at the top of the stadium. And I don't know

0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:27.400
<v Speaker 1>if they ever did it, because I would be scared

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.519
<v Speaker 1>to stand up there. You know. It's funny about that game, though,

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:32.400
<v Speaker 1>when you when I used to make the trips with

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.440
<v Speaker 1>you guys, that it always seemed like there were a

0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of Cowboy fans at TESK games. Oh yeah, I

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 1>mean I mean that I went back and watched the

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Romo passed to de Marco Murray and the crowd, you know,

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 1>the fourth down play. The crowd was incredibly loud, and

0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>then when Murray scored, it was like, oh yeah, it

0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 1>was like a home game. I mean, I remember standing

0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:56.960
<v Speaker 1>on the side. I forgot because we were all at

0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:58.880
<v Speaker 1>the one We were all at one end of the field.

0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Murray had scored at the far end, the far corner,

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 1>and that was one of those disastrous Oh you try

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 1>and run a play and you lose ten you know what,

0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 1>it's a second or fourth and gold on the you

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.200
<v Speaker 1>know whatever, it's not on the goal line. And so

0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:19.400
<v Speaker 1>but we were I just remember how the crowd reacted,

0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:21.320
<v Speaker 1>and then I went back and watched it again. O'm

0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:24.840
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, I forgot how I remembered, and I forgot,

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 1>then I remembered again. I'm like, man, there's a lot

0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:28.719
<v Speaker 1>of cowboy fans that show up there at that that

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 1>FedEx field. I've been doing this show in some capacity,

0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.840
<v Speaker 1>starting with the kids table since like oh four, hey,

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 1>I shot since the inception. Huh. I saw a show

0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:41.520
<v Speaker 1>last night and they had some guy helping out with

0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:45.160
<v Speaker 1>whatever the lead guy was, and the girl was at

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.760
<v Speaker 1>the kids table. Yeah, it was in a different spot.

0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 1>It's look ridiculous as I did back then. You look ridiculous,

0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:55.040
<v Speaker 1>she had. I went back and watched a little those

0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 1>shows you get you found those, Oh no, that you

0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 1>can get them YouTube is the great great time had

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 1>her own booth was raised up high, and who's ever

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 1>hosting the deal was standing up and then they would

0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:08.840
<v Speaker 1>have a guest and the guests would come walking up

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:12.760
<v Speaker 1>onto the stage. Yeah. I was in this like dark

0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.479
<v Speaker 1>corner anyway, but it made me think of the kids table. Yeah,

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:17.800
<v Speaker 1>it was a kids table, and like it's been this

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:21.160
<v Speaker 1>way since we started the show. Like, there's a lot

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.560
<v Speaker 1>of people that call in and email us from Maryland.

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, Virginia, NEBBI and Silver Spring, Upper Marlborough, Maryland. Right.

0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's rebellion against your parents, two

0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Redskins fans or what, but there's a lot of Cowboys fans.

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:38.200
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you two reasons. One, when the Cowboys and

0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:43.960
<v Speaker 1>tech Shram were developing their radio network, he bought us.

0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:46.960
<v Speaker 1>He got a station on their network in Virginia, beat

0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Virginia and so people got a chance to hear that

0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:53.400
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboy games all the time, right, and they developed fans.

0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:58.799
<v Speaker 1>The second thing that happened was when Lyndon Johnson took

0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.919
<v Speaker 1>office as the vice president and then became the president

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 1>after Kennedy was assassinated, all these people from Texas had

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.680
<v Speaker 1>to come and walk in Washington, DC. Right, So it

0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 1>was like a bunch of Cowboy fans were implanted in Washington, DC.

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:17.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, some of them might have stayed, some of

0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:21.920
<v Speaker 1>them developed friendships, and they became Cowboy fans. So that's

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of how it started back in as early as

0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 1>nineteen sixty when they first started. It's it's it's always

0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 1>been fascinating to me too that they've Even when they realignment,

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 1>when all that was going on there, the Cowboys were

0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 1>just adamant about not moving. They're like, no, we're gonna

0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 1>We're still gonna play Philadelphia, New York, Washington, your major cities.

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean they're playing in the nation's capital, right exactly.

0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:49.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean everybody's like, oh, we want to be closer

0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:55.279
<v Speaker 1>geographical locations, rivals. Yeah. Dallas is like no, no, we're

0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.679
<v Speaker 1>gonna keep playing the red Skins. We're gonna keep playing

0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.160
<v Speaker 1>the Giants from keep playing the Eagles, And actually, I mean,

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.880
<v Speaker 1>when you think about a comfort standpoint, logistically, those are

0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.960
<v Speaker 1>long road trips. Sure, it's actually harder on you than it. Yes,

0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 1>if you're going to Arizona. Back of the day they

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.280
<v Speaker 1>got rid of stay Saint Louis and then Saint Louis

0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.880
<v Speaker 1>goes to Arizona and they're like, yeah, they're gonna We're

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna put them in the West. Okay, fine, there was

0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:20.440
<v Speaker 1>no fight to move from Saint Louis. You know, that

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 1>was no fight, and but yeah they'll fight you on.

0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's important for the Cowboys to have that

0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.400
<v Speaker 1>that that presence in that part of the country. I

0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 1>think it's a shame though that I bet majority of

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:35.160
<v Speaker 1>these people on the team now have no idea. No,

0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:36.760
<v Speaker 1>they don't what it used to be like, what it

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 1>used to be like, or what it is like. Still

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 1>with the fans in Washington, Yeah, they still get fired

0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 1>up and they still hate the Cowboys and they're still

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:49.080
<v Speaker 1>that you know. It was I don't know, several years ago,

0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.680
<v Speaker 1>uh Keller and I were out in Georgetown and we

0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:55.559
<v Speaker 1>were watching a game on I think they were playing

0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:57.960
<v Speaker 1>a Monday night game, so where we were somewhere watching

0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 1>a game on Sunday night, and there was some guy

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.680
<v Speaker 1>there and he found out where what we did and everything,

0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:09.240
<v Speaker 1>and he still was bitter about the Clint Longley game

0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:14.720
<v Speaker 1>on Thanksgiving. Said he goes, I couldn't eat my Thanksgiving dinner.

0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:17.040
<v Speaker 1>I was sick to my and he was probably at

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:21.160
<v Speaker 1>that time a teenager. Right seventy four run my Thanksgiving

0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 1>and he was still bitter. Biggest mistake you've ever made

0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:25.840
<v Speaker 1>as a sports fan? Oh yeah, leave. I was eleven

0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:29.000
<v Speaker 1>years old. My my, my family had tickets. Like I said,

0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 1>my I went with the game with my grandmother and

0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:35.200
<v Speaker 1>left the game early. When when Staubach got knocked out,

0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:37.520
<v Speaker 1>we went to the Morton's food and we're in the

0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:40.760
<v Speaker 1>restaurant business. My family and went to Morton's Foods had

0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:42.960
<v Speaker 1>a bus that used to take us and drop us

0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:46.079
<v Speaker 1>off right next to the gate. So as part of

0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:48.600
<v Speaker 1>buying their product, we got to ride this bus every

0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:52.320
<v Speaker 1>home game. Great service, and so you know, we left early.

0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:54.000
<v Speaker 1>My grandmother and I were sitting in the bus and

0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:57.800
<v Speaker 1>nobody's in the bus and everybody comes storming on. Everybody's yelling,

0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:02.000
<v Speaker 1>cheering all I'm like, well what happened? And the bus

0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:05.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't leave the game was a bus. It was a

0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.120
<v Speaker 1>it was a it was a city a Dallas City bus,

0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:10.280
<v Speaker 1>one of those Dallas City bus, not the yellow ones.

0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.360
<v Speaker 1>But remember the old back way had to sit there

0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:14.880
<v Speaker 1>like green and oh yeah, okay. So they had this

0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:17.240
<v Speaker 1>bus and Morten's Food had a bar on it and

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.360
<v Speaker 1>food and all that. So all the people that they

0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, that bought product from them, got to ride

0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.760
<v Speaker 1>this bus and these people came back. I'll never forget that,

0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.760
<v Speaker 1>eleven years old, sitting there and those people we won.

0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 1>They put Clint Longley in and he threw and I

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:33.720
<v Speaker 1>looked at my grandmother and she says, I'm so sorry,

0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:37.000
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, from that point on, I never left

0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:40.040
<v Speaker 1>a sporting event early. I mean traffic, no matter what

0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not, I'm just not going to do it because

0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:45.240
<v Speaker 1>because of that that right there, eleven here. I'm fifty

0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 1>four years old now and I remember that like it

0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:50.439
<v Speaker 1>was yesterday. But you know, I was going to ask

0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:56.719
<v Speaker 1>you guys, you know, as far as NFC sports hate rivals,

0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:00.560
<v Speaker 1>what what what an NFC East team do you disliked

0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:04.959
<v Speaker 1>the most sports hate? Sports hate? Of the three options

0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:07.520
<v Speaker 1>the three Giants, Eagles or Redskins. Yeah, man, see Mickey

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:08.720
<v Speaker 1>brought up. And the reason why I want to ask,

0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:11.440
<v Speaker 1>because Mickey brought up that point of See, I grew

0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:15.600
<v Speaker 1>up not liking the Redskins at all because we we

0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:19.640
<v Speaker 1>being a fan, owned the Eagles, we owned the Giants.

0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:24.040
<v Speaker 1>The Redskins were a whole different thing. So I wonder

0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:28.559
<v Speaker 1>if sports hate the older crowd still hates the Redskins,

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:33.040
<v Speaker 1>but then the younger crowd is like Eagles. I'm sure

0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.000
<v Speaker 1>that's what it is. Yeah, And you know, and the

0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:37.960
<v Speaker 1>reason it started was, you know, even though the Cowboys

0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:41.360
<v Speaker 1>were bad when they first began in the sixties, the

0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Redskins were as bad, right, And they didn't get good

0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:49.320
<v Speaker 1>until the early seventies, George George Allen, And so all

0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:52.280
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, the Redskins were taken away something that

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:55.240
<v Speaker 1>I think the Cowboys thought was there inalienable right to

0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:58.320
<v Speaker 1>win the NFC East every year, right, And they beat

0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:00.200
<v Speaker 1>him a couple of years, then they beat him the

0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 1>playoffs that one year, and then this thing really cranked up. Yeah,

0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, before it was just kind of a fan thing,

0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:10.880
<v Speaker 1>and then it became a player thing personal and think

0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.480
<v Speaker 1>about it. You had the same players playing each other

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:16.480
<v Speaker 1>twice a year forever there was no free agency. So

0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:20.040
<v Speaker 1>you played the same guys ten years. You go and

0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:23.080
<v Speaker 1>go ask Roger Staubuck. He'll still get fired up. Yeah,

0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 1>he'll still get mad about them knocking out of the

0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.440
<v Speaker 1>knocking him out of that seventy four Thanksgiving game because

0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.120
<v Speaker 1>they said they were going to do it, and they

0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.280
<v Speaker 1>did it and said, you know, that's all we got

0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:34.960
<v Speaker 1>to do because that's all they got and we'll beat them. Yeah,

0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.480
<v Speaker 1>the league encouraged you to talk poorly about the other

0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.199
<v Speaker 1>team and try and knock their players out wrestling, and

0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 1>then and then we get the Bounty Bowls and stuff

0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.240
<v Speaker 1>like that, where well we don't we shouldn't go out,

0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:47.000
<v Speaker 1>we should be hunting players, you know. But back then,

0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:50.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yeah, the newspaper guys, the stories back and

0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:53.160
<v Speaker 1>forth between Washington and Dawson. They didn't have ESPN and

0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.439
<v Speaker 1>all these people that interviews Mike's and to face me,

0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.640
<v Speaker 1>what you were hearing was what you were reading. You know,

0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 1>that's that's what you saw. Yeah, that's and and and

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.680
<v Speaker 1>actually you know that. And tonight, by the way, we'll

0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:07.959
<v Speaker 1>get into it because our guest on the Legend Shows

0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:11.400
<v Speaker 1>is Dennis Thurman, who was right in the middle of

0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:14.880
<v Speaker 1>the deal in the late seventies and through the eighties,

0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:18.800
<v Speaker 1>and you know, and in eighty five they became Thurman's

0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:21.280
<v Speaker 1>Thieves because they had so many interceptions. While the first

0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:24.400
<v Speaker 1>game of the year, the opener was against Washington on

0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 1>a Sunday night, on Monday night game, and it was

0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Joe Theisman's birthday, and they picked him I think it

0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.120
<v Speaker 1>was either four or five times, and by time the

0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:37.160
<v Speaker 1>fifth pick and they took him out, the whole place

0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 1>stood up and started singing Happy Birthday, and they would

0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:46.000
<v Speaker 1>call him Joey. It wasn't Joe, it was Happy Birthday, Joey.

0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:50.199
<v Speaker 1>And it was amazing. And I'm sure Dennis remembers that

0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:53.839
<v Speaker 1>I had to be back in the day. I love,

0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:55.640
<v Speaker 1>I love back in the day. You know. The fun

0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:58.640
<v Speaker 1>thing was back then covering those games at RFK is

0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:02.520
<v Speaker 1>you place moved you it takes you could take the metro, yeah,

0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:05.679
<v Speaker 1>and it would drop you off like two two and

0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.240
<v Speaker 1>a half three blocks from the stadium. So you're walking

0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:11.240
<v Speaker 1>through all the crowd and they're getting jacked up for

0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.440
<v Speaker 1>the game and they're selling their Cowboys suck t shirts.

0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:18.680
<v Speaker 1>And also there was some with not an s in

0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Fan of the uc K and and it was just unbelievable.

0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:25.640
<v Speaker 1>It was like you got as a writer, you got

0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:28.199
<v Speaker 1>ready for the game. It's like, oh, something really important

0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:30.000
<v Speaker 1>is getting ready to have absolutely and I think you

0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:33.520
<v Speaker 1>nailed it. Because roster turnover, the parody now, the salary cap,

0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:38.280
<v Speaker 1>the roster's changed so much that there's not that contempt

0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:40.400
<v Speaker 1>bread by a familiarity. Yeah, you don't have the John

0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Riggins and Joe Thismans and Art Monks. And then way

0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:46.760
<v Speaker 1>back in the day, you know, like the Jack Parties

0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:49.520
<v Speaker 1>and the pat Fishers, and I mean these are all

0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:52.720
<v Speaker 1>guys I grew up just despising. I really, I mean

0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.360
<v Speaker 1>I see those guys. I see Sonny Jurgensen, like you know,

0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:57.040
<v Speaker 1>he was I don't know, I think he's still doing

0:13:57.080 --> 0:14:00.240
<v Speaker 1>the games. I think I think he is. See Sonny

0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.520
<v Speaker 1>said some him to press box one time in Buffalo,

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:04.559
<v Speaker 1>and I went up to him. I said, mister Jergors,

0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:07.040
<v Speaker 1>introduced myself. He's, oh, yeah, he has cigar hanging out

0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:08.679
<v Speaker 1>of the core of his mouth. And and I just

0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:11.760
<v Speaker 1>sat there for like thirty minutes. We're talking about the rivalry.

0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:15.080
<v Speaker 1>And he was telling stories that were just you know,

0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:17.719
<v Speaker 1>and again. I know fans today are kind of going on,

0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:20.360
<v Speaker 1>shut up, brought us. But for a kid growing up

0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:22.920
<v Speaker 1>in that era, you know, it's like the guy who's

0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:25.040
<v Speaker 1>grows up in New York City, that's a Yankee fan

0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.240
<v Speaker 1>that gets to talk to Mickey Maniler, gets to talk

0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.760
<v Speaker 1>to Whitey Ford, or gets to talk to those great

0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:33.440
<v Speaker 1>you know players back then. I mean that that's that's

0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.720
<v Speaker 1>how I grew up. That's how I got, you know,

0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:39.640
<v Speaker 1>into involved with football because the rivalries with the red

0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Skins and like that. Here's how it's changed. I know,

0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.040
<v Speaker 1>because since I've started covering this team, the closest thing

0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:48.480
<v Speaker 1>I can think of to a really bitter rivalry within

0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:52.080
<v Speaker 1>the division. And tell me if I'm wrong, maybe ten

0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:55.640
<v Speaker 1>years ago with the Giants with Brandon Jacobs and you

0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:57.920
<v Speaker 1>know he would he would talk every week and try

0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.760
<v Speaker 1>to get Craton and those guys fired up. That's the

0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:02.680
<v Speaker 1>closest thing I can think of. And now it's kind

0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:05.120
<v Speaker 1>of maybe it's shift into Philly, and with Philly it's

0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:08.000
<v Speaker 1>it's about their fans as much as anything. Yeah, you know,

0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:10.640
<v Speaker 1>see I that I worked for a year. I kind

0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:14.280
<v Speaker 1>of appreciate the Philly fan because I lived there. For

0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:16.520
<v Speaker 1>a year and worked. They're great fans, but they're not

0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, yeah take oh no, yeah, no exactly. It's

0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:23.320
<v Speaker 1>it's tough, but my my sports hatred for Washington Redskins

0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:27.000
<v Speaker 1>is still intense. It still is intense, you know, even

0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:30.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean I again, I when when we I wish

0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:33.200
<v Speaker 1>we still played at that old RFK because that those

0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:36.240
<v Speaker 1>I missed, those places I missed seeing I would probably

0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.240
<v Speaker 1>go on road trips if we still played at places

0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:40.240
<v Speaker 1>like that, I really would. Now. Mickey will tell you

0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:42.560
<v Speaker 1>he had to hide around a corner to look through

0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:45.320
<v Speaker 1>a little uh to watch a game. He got thrown

0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:47.560
<v Speaker 1>outside and he had to look through a little narrow

0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:49.800
<v Speaker 1>crack to see the field. Am I right about that? Mickey? No?

0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:52.800
<v Speaker 1>That actually that was in Saint Louis, Okay, well I

0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:56.760
<v Speaker 1>thought it was at URFK. The press box was basically

0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:02.040
<v Speaker 1>open air. We was covered by the overhang of the stands,

0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:06.200
<v Speaker 1>but it was open air. So if it was twenty

0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:10.280
<v Speaker 1>degrees outside, you're sitting out there, it's really hard to

0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:13.280
<v Speaker 1>type with gloves on it. And then you would go

0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:16.200
<v Speaker 1>in this little room where they'd serve you food before

0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.280
<v Speaker 1>the game halftime, and the heat would be on to

0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:24.440
<v Speaker 1>like ninety five degrees, so to choose your poison, freeze

0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:27.920
<v Speaker 1>or sweat to death while you were writing, and there

0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:31.240
<v Speaker 1>was no room there. I remember vividly when they won

0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:34.200
<v Speaker 1>their one game in nineteen eighty nine. It was the

0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:37.760
<v Speaker 1>ninth game of the season. They were eight no or

0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.560
<v Speaker 1>were they and eight or oh and nine? And it

0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:43.840
<v Speaker 1>was a Sunday night game for some god forsaken reason.

0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:48.440
<v Speaker 1>And I was sitting it was so crowded in the

0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:51.400
<v Speaker 1>press box. I had to sit like sideways with my

0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:55.120
<v Speaker 1>left shoulder forward because Blackie Sharade was next to me

0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:58.040
<v Speaker 1>and he was basically in my lap and it was

0:16:58.080 --> 0:16:59.800
<v Speaker 1>like he was going to move, and it was like

0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:03.120
<v Speaker 1>one of those folding chairs, one of those wooden folding

0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:05.720
<v Speaker 1>chairs they used to have at the VFWA, you know.

0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:08.320
<v Speaker 1>And it was like, seriously, then your doome is kind

0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.360
<v Speaker 1>of like that, but that sounds worse, and you know what,

0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:13.120
<v Speaker 1>And I got to give Skip Bayless credit. He came

0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:17.440
<v Speaker 1>up with the greatest name for rfk rickety field for knuckleheads.

0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.639
<v Speaker 1>That's it. Wow, And Edie was right, it was right.

0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:23.680
<v Speaker 1>Those people were crazy. So you're saying sportswriters were tougher

0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:25.760
<v Speaker 1>back in the day too, Yes, they were. It was

0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:29.720
<v Speaker 1>a tougher time. The carrier typewriter, Yeah, your typewriter stairs,

0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:33.320
<v Speaker 1>no email to file your story over the phone. Gary

<v Speaker 1>Myers almost gotten the fight over a telephone one time, right,

0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:38.920
<v Speaker 1>it was, it was. It was quite an experience. You know,

0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:40.800
<v Speaker 1>when you're going through it, you look at it as

0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:43.119
<v Speaker 1>a hardship. Yeah, when you think back, when you go,

0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.800
<v Speaker 1>that was pretty damn cool. I missed those days. I

0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:47.399
<v Speaker 1>mean I would if I was that. If I was,

0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:50.080
<v Speaker 1>I would have missed those days of like, you know,

0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:52.959
<v Speaker 1>kind of just getting in the middle of everybody. I

0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:55.280
<v Speaker 1>got My favorite movie is eight min Out, you know,

<v Speaker 1>great movie, and so like riding the train with the

0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:01.960
<v Speaker 1>players and drinking and smoking guard. Yeah, you know, I've

0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:04.760
<v Speaker 1>got a book of stories. But the two that stand

0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:07.640
<v Speaker 1>out the most had to do with Harvey Martin. Yeah,

0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:11.000
<v Speaker 1>they were playing they were playing up there one year

0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:15.240
<v Speaker 1>and he had to go through the dugout to go

0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:17.360
<v Speaker 1>into the locker room, so you had to you were

0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:21.200
<v Speaker 1>really close to the fans. And uh before the week

0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:23.720
<v Speaker 1>before the week of one of the games they were

0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:27.439
<v Speaker 1>playing at RFK, story came out that Harvey had to

0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:31.320
<v Speaker 1>file for bankruptcy, right, So he tells me the story

0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:33.520
<v Speaker 1>that he goes, Yeah, he goes, after the game, you know,

0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:36.119
<v Speaker 1>we we got beat and oh no, he goes, I

0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:39.080
<v Speaker 1>was going in after warmups and he goes, I'm going

0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.199
<v Speaker 1>into the dugout and all of a sudden, I hear this.

0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Something's hit me in the helmet. He's like pin pin pain.

0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:49.080
<v Speaker 1>And they were throwing like coins at him, and some

0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:51.760
<v Speaker 1>guy yells out, hey, Harve, do you need a loan?

0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:55.679
<v Speaker 1>And they were throwing them change. And one year they

0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:58.840
<v Speaker 1>were going in after the game they won and somebody

0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:02.800
<v Speaker 1>cracked a bottle over I don't I think it was

0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Charlie waters helmet and Randy White was walking with him,

0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Harvey and Cliff and and and and Randy or or

0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:14.719
<v Speaker 1>Harvey looked and says, all right, let's go, and they

0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:16.879
<v Speaker 1>went into the stands and beat the snot out of

0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:19.480
<v Speaker 1>the guy. Way. Yeah. That last, real quick Harvey Martin

0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:23.880
<v Speaker 1>story is there was someone put a wreath and he

0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:27.040
<v Speaker 1>and he opened the Redskins dressing room door and through

0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:30.680
<v Speaker 1>the reef. It's like a funeral. They sent it. They

0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:33.600
<v Speaker 1>sent it to him. It was seventy nine and it

0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:38.320
<v Speaker 1>was the game here at Texas Stadium and Thomas the

0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:41.199
<v Speaker 1>winner was going to win the NFC East, the loser

0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:44.879
<v Speaker 1>was not going to make the playoffs. And about midweek,

0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:48.480
<v Speaker 1>this wreath, it was a funeral which shows up at

0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:51.720
<v Speaker 1>their practice facility and it has a sign on there

0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:54.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, your cowboys, you're dead or whatever something like that.

0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:59.720
<v Speaker 1>So they kept it and and and on Saturday, somebody said, Harve,

0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:02.600
<v Speaker 1>what are you gonna do with that? He goes, I

0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:04.359
<v Speaker 1>don't know, And he goes, why don't you bring it

0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:06.560
<v Speaker 1>with you? Yeah, you know, bring it to the stadium.

0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:09.400
<v Speaker 1>So they had it in the locker room. And they won.

0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:15.400
<v Speaker 1>And there's a picture of Harvey in his uniform carrying

0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:17.760
<v Speaker 1>the wreath and he's going up the tunnel at Texas

0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Stadium where the visitors were and a lot of the

0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:22.640
<v Speaker 1>guys didn't even know where that tunnel was. I had

0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:26.159
<v Speaker 1>no idea. And he opens the door and throws it

0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:29.440
<v Speaker 1>in there, and it's like, take that, we're not dead.

0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:31.440
<v Speaker 1>And they were in the middle, they were all kneeling

0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:40.280
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of their postgame prayer those days. Yeah,

0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:43.760
<v Speaker 1>that's WW style, and you know, bring that back. One

0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:46.359
<v Speaker 1>of the reporters at the Washington Post I don't know.

0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it was. Weeks later, years later,

0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:52.960
<v Speaker 1>researched it and found out that it was really a

0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:56.199
<v Speaker 1>Cowboy fan that purchased the wreath and sent it to

0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:59.359
<v Speaker 1>him as incentive. And when I told Harvey about the

0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:01.399
<v Speaker 1>story I found he goes, I don't believe that. I

0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:05.280
<v Speaker 1>know it was a Redskins fan. Seth Now, sports hate,

<v Speaker 1>after this show. But as we start segment, to Brian,

0:25:20.080 --> 0:25:21.879
<v Speaker 1>you got a little game for us today. I always

0:25:21.920 --> 0:25:24.000
<v Speaker 1>like to ask a few questions and as Mickey always

0:25:24.000 --> 0:25:26.480
<v Speaker 1>asked Mandy to answer the question as well, and that's

0:25:26.520 --> 0:25:29.280
<v Speaker 1>important and I do agree with him on that. And

0:25:29.440 --> 0:25:31.879
<v Speaker 1>my first question for you guys are are you surprised

0:25:31.880 --> 0:25:39.040
<v Speaker 1>how smoothly the defense has played without Shawn Lee? Yes,

0:25:42.200 --> 0:25:46.719
<v Speaker 1>I thought they were better prepared to absorb his loss.

0:25:47.119 --> 0:25:52.720
<v Speaker 1>But I was worried, not so much from a talent standpoint,

0:25:52.760 --> 0:25:54.840
<v Speaker 1>because I think we kind of got a taste of

0:25:54.880 --> 0:25:58.359
<v Speaker 1>what Jalen Smith was going to be this year. Wasn't

0:25:58.520 --> 0:26:02.600
<v Speaker 1>totally sold in the beginning on Layton Vander esh figured

0:26:02.640 --> 0:26:05.800
<v Speaker 1>he'd need some time, sure, but I was worried more

0:26:05.960 --> 0:26:09.199
<v Speaker 1>about how organized they would be. Who would be the

0:26:09.240 --> 0:26:14.480
<v Speaker 1>guy that gets right now and you know, and diagnosed

0:26:14.480 --> 0:26:19.840
<v Speaker 1>the plays. And surprisingly Vanders seems to diagnose plays. He's

0:26:19.880 --> 0:26:23.520
<v Speaker 1>got some of that, and Sean Lee's sense out there

0:26:23.600 --> 0:26:27.679
<v Speaker 1>does so. Yeah, I think that I think they've absorbed

0:26:27.680 --> 0:26:32.000
<v Speaker 1>as loss better than I expected, seeing that they lost

0:26:32.040 --> 0:26:34.800
<v Speaker 1>ten of eleven over the previous three years when either

0:26:34.880 --> 0:26:38.520
<v Speaker 1>he didn't play or didn't finish a game because of injury.

0:26:39.119 --> 0:26:42.280
<v Speaker 1>I would I'm surprised at how they really haven't seemed

0:26:42.280 --> 0:26:44.320
<v Speaker 1>to miss a beat. It's gonna answer Mickey by the way,

0:26:44.680 --> 0:26:48.080
<v Speaker 1>thank you. Yeah, I'm not that surprised that they've still

0:26:48.160 --> 0:26:51.160
<v Speaker 1>been able to function well, but the level they've continued

0:26:51.160 --> 0:26:53.880
<v Speaker 1>to play at has been surprised. Yeah, because they I mean,

0:26:53.920 --> 0:26:56.800
<v Speaker 1>this was a dominant effort last week. And really, I

0:26:56.840 --> 0:26:58.720
<v Speaker 1>mean when you look at the numbers what they're doing,

0:26:58.760 --> 0:27:01.960
<v Speaker 1>it seems like they mean better. Yes, I mean not

0:27:01.960 --> 0:27:04.920
<v Speaker 1>not without but the things that we thought that were

0:27:04.920 --> 0:27:07.680
<v Speaker 1>like okay, this, like Mickey said, instinctually, how are things

0:27:07.720 --> 0:27:10.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna go? Are they gonna be able to communicate? Are

0:27:10.280 --> 0:27:11.639
<v Speaker 1>they going to be able to line up. Are they

0:27:11.640 --> 0:27:14.040
<v Speaker 1>going to be able to make plays? It seems like

0:27:14.359 --> 0:27:18.400
<v Speaker 1>every week that they've gotten better. And I don't think

0:27:18.400 --> 0:27:21.000
<v Speaker 1>it's lack of Sean Lee. I just think the I

0:27:21.040 --> 0:27:24.399
<v Speaker 1>think the linebackers have gotten better. Yeah. I didn't worry

0:27:24.400 --> 0:27:26.840
<v Speaker 1>as much as some people did about the communication part

0:27:26.840 --> 0:27:29.359
<v Speaker 1>of it, because Jalen Smith's been in this defense a

0:27:29.359 --> 0:27:31.400
<v Speaker 1>couple of years now, even when he wasn't playing, He's

0:27:31.400 --> 0:27:34.600
<v Speaker 1>been around it. Uh, You've got Chris Rashard, who's a

0:27:34.600 --> 0:27:37.199
<v Speaker 1>good coach as that passing game coordinator to kind of

0:27:37.240 --> 0:27:41.240
<v Speaker 1>marry the back end with the front seven. Um. But

0:27:41.600 --> 0:27:43.440
<v Speaker 1>vander Esh is the one who surprised me the most.

0:27:43.440 --> 0:27:45.440
<v Speaker 1>And I know we talked about this a little bit yesterday.

0:27:45.560 --> 0:27:47.760
<v Speaker 1>I didn't think he would be this good this early

0:27:47.840 --> 0:27:51.120
<v Speaker 1>game time that he missed in preseason. Yeah, and he's

0:27:51.119 --> 0:27:53.639
<v Speaker 1>been outstanding. We were talking about that last night at

0:27:53.680 --> 0:27:56.679
<v Speaker 1>happy Hour. Yeah that that Okay, that if with vander

0:27:56.800 --> 0:28:00.119
<v Speaker 1>Esh with time he missed in the OTA's and then

0:28:00.200 --> 0:28:02.840
<v Speaker 1>into training camp, you're thinking, oh, is this a setback?

0:28:03.240 --> 0:28:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Is this going to be a huge setback? But I

0:28:05.680 --> 0:28:07.720
<v Speaker 1>totally agree with what you guys are saying there. I

0:28:08.560 --> 0:28:12.359
<v Speaker 1>was just I was like Mickey, I was worried about, Okay,

0:28:12.440 --> 0:28:15.359
<v Speaker 1>who is going to hold things together? Remember I was

0:28:15.440 --> 0:28:18.639
<v Speaker 1>the one screaming for a trade for Earl Thomas because

0:28:18.680 --> 0:28:21.320
<v Speaker 1>I was worried with Shawn Lee going out, who was

0:28:21.359 --> 0:28:24.640
<v Speaker 1>going to hold the defense together? You know, I was thinking, Okay,

0:28:24.640 --> 0:28:27.280
<v Speaker 1>if you got Earl Thomas, then Earl Thomas can be

0:28:27.359 --> 0:28:31.040
<v Speaker 1>the glue of Shawn Lee somehow misses three games, Who's

0:28:31.040 --> 0:28:33.760
<v Speaker 1>going to be the glue? Little did I know? The

0:28:33.920 --> 0:28:36.960
<v Speaker 1>glue has been the play of them. It hasn't been

0:28:37.000 --> 0:28:40.160
<v Speaker 1>the leadership. It's been the It's been the play of

0:28:40.200 --> 0:28:43.480
<v Speaker 1>the front seven. It's been the play of the secondary.

0:28:43.760 --> 0:28:45.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, the way they've been able to hold up.

0:28:45.680 --> 0:28:48.360
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I I you know, I count me? Is

0:28:48.480 --> 0:28:51.320
<v Speaker 1>count me? A surprise? It's gone as smoothly as it

0:28:51.400 --> 0:28:54.160
<v Speaker 1>has and the overall talent on the defense is better

0:28:54.200 --> 0:28:56.440
<v Speaker 1>than it was last year. These guys from last year,

0:28:56.480 --> 0:28:59.040
<v Speaker 1>the rookies are a year older. Yeah, this is the

0:28:59.080 --> 0:29:02.080
<v Speaker 1>deepest defensive line now that I can remember, since Rod

0:29:02.120 --> 0:29:05.080
<v Speaker 1>has been the defensive coordinator. And it should only get

0:29:05.120 --> 0:29:07.040
<v Speaker 1>better as long as David Irving is on the field

0:29:07.040 --> 0:29:09.840
<v Speaker 1>and engaged and all that stuff. Probably gonna miss today, right,

0:29:09.880 --> 0:29:13.120
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna get a David. You know what he said.

0:29:13.440 --> 0:29:16.560
<v Speaker 1>He said after the game that he thought he would

0:29:16.560 --> 0:29:19.560
<v Speaker 1>get back here in time for practice. Okay, so this

0:29:19.640 --> 0:29:23.040
<v Speaker 1>is a local, yes, local, Yeah, we're doing that. And

0:29:23.400 --> 0:29:26.040
<v Speaker 1>he said something about thank you judge for working early,

0:29:26.160 --> 0:29:28.400
<v Speaker 1>first thing in the morning, like eight or nine o'clock,

0:29:28.880 --> 0:29:30.800
<v Speaker 1>and so he thought he'd be here. He said it

0:29:31.160 --> 0:29:33.760
<v Speaker 1>in the locker room after the game, that judge who knows,

0:29:33.800 --> 0:29:36.840
<v Speaker 1>because you know how courts go. Yeah, astins get delayed

0:29:37.160 --> 0:29:39.600
<v Speaker 1>their own spend, yes, you know. And one other thing

0:29:39.600 --> 0:29:41.520
<v Speaker 1>on this leadership thing for you to the next one.

0:29:42.200 --> 0:29:46.280
<v Speaker 1>I think a guy that has somewhat emerged has been

0:29:46.360 --> 0:29:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Heath. Yeah, that's that's a good point too. He

0:29:49.800 --> 0:29:53.520
<v Speaker 1>seems to kind of be calming back, calming, not not

0:29:53.600 --> 0:29:56.440
<v Speaker 1>a raw, raw guy, but just kind of knowing what's

0:29:56.480 --> 0:30:00.400
<v Speaker 1>going on and helping those other young guys out. Uh.

0:30:00.960 --> 0:30:02.880
<v Speaker 1>And even in the locker room, you know, he's been

0:30:02.920 --> 0:30:05.440
<v Speaker 1>a little bit well, people have asked him question but

0:30:05.520 --> 0:30:08.760
<v Speaker 1>he's more outspoken, like he'll he's a quiet guy. He'll

0:30:08.800 --> 0:30:12.640
<v Speaker 1>give you some information, but he's quiet. Yeah. That tackle

0:30:12.720 --> 0:30:17.320
<v Speaker 1>he made last Sunday, Holy Kyle, he will make some place. Okay.

0:30:17.360 --> 0:30:20.040
<v Speaker 1>My next question for you guys is the player that

0:30:20.160 --> 0:30:24.120
<v Speaker 1>has been quiet early but is due to break out

0:30:24.440 --> 0:30:28.040
<v Speaker 1>in the second half. Here you have somebody mind that

0:30:28.160 --> 0:30:31.240
<v Speaker 1>has been a little quiet and then all of a

0:30:31.280 --> 0:30:34.480
<v Speaker 1>sudden though you're feeling like, Okay, this guy's gonna have

0:30:34.560 --> 0:30:37.120
<v Speaker 1>that to you know, carry you through a few games.

0:30:37.160 --> 0:30:40.200
<v Speaker 1>You're chuckling, Mick. I know because it's the same answer

0:30:40.240 --> 0:30:42.640
<v Speaker 1>I come up with every week, is that this guy

0:30:42.720 --> 0:30:46.040
<v Speaker 1>is gonna bust out. And it's Michael Gackael Gallop. I

0:30:46.160 --> 0:30:48.080
<v Speaker 1>was kind of thinking you were going to go that direction,

0:30:48.760 --> 0:30:52.000
<v Speaker 1>but you know, Gallup, if he gets the chance, That's

0:30:52.000 --> 0:30:55.400
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. I keep asking, and Mickey, I see

0:30:55.440 --> 0:31:01.000
<v Speaker 1>you keep asking him, asking in you know the audience. Hey,

0:31:01.200 --> 0:31:03.600
<v Speaker 1>give him a chance, give him a chance, and I'm

0:31:03.600 --> 0:31:05.440
<v Speaker 1>waiting for him to be that guy. I think I

0:31:05.480 --> 0:31:07.920
<v Speaker 1>agree with Mickey again. I think he's the guy that

0:31:08.040 --> 0:31:11.080
<v Speaker 1>needs to be the I think he needs to be.

0:31:11.760 --> 0:31:13.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, take it to him a little more, just

0:31:13.560 --> 0:31:15.200
<v Speaker 1>just go ahead and trust him a little more trying.

0:31:15.440 --> 0:31:16.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, you get it. You get him going early

0:31:16.960 --> 0:31:19.160
<v Speaker 1>in that game, and I'm sure someone will say, well,

0:31:19.240 --> 0:31:21.440
<v Speaker 1>broad us. He ran the route, it clanged off his hands,

0:31:21.480 --> 0:31:23.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, da da da da da. I get that,

0:31:23.640 --> 0:31:27.240
<v Speaker 1>But I'm I just think there's too much talent there. Yeah,

0:31:27.280 --> 0:31:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I just think there's too much talent there. Yeah. Let

0:31:30.040 --> 0:31:32.840
<v Speaker 1>me ask you this what we've seen about. How about Taco?

0:31:34.240 --> 0:31:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's a tough matchup this week against Trent Williams,

0:31:36.920 --> 0:31:38.400
<v Speaker 1>let's not. I mean, and when we get into that,

0:31:38.480 --> 0:31:40.760
<v Speaker 1>when the Redskins offense, it's not could be easy for

0:31:40.840 --> 0:31:42.520
<v Speaker 1>him to have to do. But what about a guy

0:31:42.560 --> 0:31:45.520
<v Speaker 1>like Taco He's won The guy MALIEK. Collins. I was

0:31:45.520 --> 0:31:49.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna go with Malik's second got his first sack last week.

0:31:49.360 --> 0:31:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Now he plays if he's playing Darwin, he's playing the nose. Yeah.

0:31:52.360 --> 0:31:54.440
<v Speaker 1>If Malik's playing the nose, you know, the numbers are

0:31:54.440 --> 0:31:56.680
<v Speaker 1>harder to get to. I think then you're playing that undertackle.

0:31:56.920 --> 0:31:58.719
<v Speaker 1>The guy I was gonna say is Randy Gregory. If

0:31:58.760 --> 0:32:01.480
<v Speaker 1>you look what he's done the last two games. I

0:32:01.520 --> 0:32:03.840
<v Speaker 1>think he had forty snap about this yesterday he had

0:32:03.840 --> 0:32:07.640
<v Speaker 1>five quarterback pressures in there. Then he only plays seventeen

0:32:07.680 --> 0:32:10.840
<v Speaker 1>snaps last week with you know, kind of a knee issue. Yeah,

0:32:11.200 --> 0:32:13.360
<v Speaker 1>and gets his first sack and is around the ball

0:32:13.440 --> 0:32:16.400
<v Speaker 1>more and is kind of playing through stuff. Uh, he

0:32:16.480 --> 0:32:18.720
<v Speaker 1>showed them something the last couple of games. Now can

0:32:18.720 --> 0:32:21.440
<v Speaker 1>he continue to be consistent with it? But that is

0:32:21.520 --> 0:32:24.840
<v Speaker 1>encouraging these last couple of games that he's played. You're

0:32:24.880 --> 0:32:27.040
<v Speaker 1>still you're you're You're with your receiver, though, Mickey, I'm

0:32:27.040 --> 0:32:29.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna stay with him. I don't. I don't disagree with you, dude.

0:32:30.000 --> 0:32:33.040
<v Speaker 1>I think he's the dude, he's the most first time

0:32:33.040 --> 0:32:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I've ever knew he's Uh, he might be the most

0:32:37.800 --> 0:32:40.240
<v Speaker 1>explosive receiver on this team, just in terms of pure

0:32:41.400 --> 0:32:44.400
<v Speaker 1>ability to separate down the field. You know, the previous

0:32:44.440 --> 0:32:47.840
<v Speaker 1>game you mentioned Houston, he had four solo tackles, three

0:32:47.880 --> 0:32:51.280
<v Speaker 1>assisted tackles, so seven total, Brandy, you're talking about here,

0:32:51.360 --> 0:32:57.920
<v Speaker 1>five quarterback pressures five and this this last game, I

0:32:57.960 --> 0:33:01.080
<v Speaker 1>don't have it, but he played seventeen snaps and had

0:33:01.640 --> 0:33:04.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, oh no, he couples. I was confusing and

0:33:04.320 --> 0:33:07.440
<v Speaker 1>with Irving, he had three tackles, two for loss, he

0:33:07.520 --> 0:33:12.040
<v Speaker 1>had the sack, and he had three or four quarterback hits,

0:33:12.720 --> 0:33:15.920
<v Speaker 1>So not bad for seventeen snaps. I was just kind

0:33:15.960 --> 0:33:17.840
<v Speaker 1>of thinking like him. I think it was gonna be

0:33:17.920 --> 0:33:21.480
<v Speaker 1>one of those defensive ends him. Taco. Maybe, like you said,

0:33:21.600 --> 0:33:24.480
<v Speaker 1>David Irving, you know you could be a part of that.

0:33:24.960 --> 0:33:28.000
<v Speaker 1>You know who's starting the flash in more plays is

0:33:28.200 --> 0:33:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Xavier Woods. And because there you go, because that was

0:33:32.880 --> 0:33:35.680
<v Speaker 1>an overthrow and he's basically thrown up for grabs, I

0:33:35.680 --> 0:33:38.720
<v Speaker 1>don't disagree he's start. You're starting to see twenty five

0:33:38.880 --> 0:33:42.280
<v Speaker 1>closer to the ball, especially when the ball's going downfield. Yeah,

0:33:42.320 --> 0:33:47.200
<v Speaker 1>he got he's he's he's funny. He's taking that Houston

0:33:47.280 --> 0:33:49.600
<v Speaker 1>game kind of clicks something for him. As far as

0:33:49.640 --> 0:33:52.320
<v Speaker 1>taking a run at some of those offensive players. You

0:33:52.360 --> 0:33:55.720
<v Speaker 1>know that with Watson's running the sidelines, he's running over there.

0:33:55.720 --> 0:34:00.200
<v Speaker 1>He banged, he's banging in the guys stuff. I was thinking, oh, okay,

0:34:00.240 --> 0:34:03.080
<v Speaker 1>something's happened here. You're Christopher Shard said something to him.

0:34:03.120 --> 0:34:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Got him kind of going. Now now he's trying to

0:34:05.800 --> 0:34:07.560
<v Speaker 1>he's trying to light some people up. He got that

0:34:07.640 --> 0:34:09.120
<v Speaker 1>big hit in the game and got a penalty. I

0:34:09.200 --> 0:34:11.800
<v Speaker 1>don't know how. I don't know how you avoid that

0:34:11.960 --> 0:34:14.920
<v Speaker 1>penalty because either let him catch it or you or

0:34:15.000 --> 0:34:18.279
<v Speaker 1>you or you get the penalty. Can't let him catch it,

0:34:18.360 --> 0:34:21.839
<v Speaker 1>for sure, so okay, you got a time for another one, right, Yeah,

0:34:21.840 --> 0:34:26.239
<v Speaker 1>I'll do it. Um described Connor williams rookie season in

0:34:26.400 --> 0:34:37.399
<v Speaker 1>one word else can I say mine ahead? I went

0:34:37.480 --> 0:34:40.239
<v Speaker 1>the word encouraging, okay, And I know and I went

0:34:40.360 --> 0:34:43.160
<v Speaker 1>encouraging because I feel like I've seen him getting better

0:34:43.560 --> 0:34:47.000
<v Speaker 1>each week. I feel like I'm seeing him. You know,

0:34:47.040 --> 0:34:49.320
<v Speaker 1>I was worried about him in this Jacksonville game of

0:34:49.440 --> 0:34:53.000
<v Speaker 1>him sliding that Claius Campbell down inside. I'm worried about

0:34:53.080 --> 0:34:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Malik Jackson. You know. I didn't hear a lot from

0:34:56.000 --> 0:34:57.920
<v Speaker 1>those guys, and a lot have to do with with

0:34:58.080 --> 0:35:01.439
<v Speaker 1>what the tackles were doing. But Connor Williams, I don't

0:35:01.480 --> 0:35:03.800
<v Speaker 1>think he's you know, maybe early we thought, okay, a

0:35:03.800 --> 0:35:05.440
<v Speaker 1>little bit of a liability with the power and the

0:35:05.480 --> 0:35:08.759
<v Speaker 1>strength and all that. But I'm encouraged by his the

0:35:08.880 --> 0:35:12.960
<v Speaker 1>way he's played so far, I really am. And this

0:35:13.080 --> 0:35:16.000
<v Speaker 1>week again we'll talk about it. It won't be easy

0:35:16.080 --> 0:35:19.360
<v Speaker 1>with the Ron Payne and Jonathan Allen and those guys.

0:35:19.440 --> 0:35:22.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, those are two big war Daddy type defensive tackles.

0:35:23.400 --> 0:35:26.160
<v Speaker 1>But I'm encouraged by Connor Williams what I've seen with him,

0:35:26.200 --> 0:35:29.759
<v Speaker 1>pulling the pass protection, the things like that, he had

0:35:29.800 --> 0:35:33.680
<v Speaker 1>a pull block to get Zeke free on the right side,

0:35:33.960 --> 0:35:35.520
<v Speaker 1>captured the edge. I can't remember. I think it was

0:35:35.560 --> 0:35:39.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe first half. Yeah, it was just the athleticism. Super impressive.

0:35:40.040 --> 0:35:42.719
<v Speaker 1>That's the word. Well, that's the that's the first thing

0:35:42.800 --> 0:35:45.719
<v Speaker 1>you notice about him. I might say. Battling. Yeah, you know,

0:35:45.880 --> 0:35:47.919
<v Speaker 1>because like we've talked about it, he's faced some guys

0:35:47.960 --> 0:35:50.320
<v Speaker 1>that are just stronger than him, but he he doesn't

0:35:50.320 --> 0:35:52.759
<v Speaker 1>back down from it. And again, it may take him

0:35:52.800 --> 0:35:55.120
<v Speaker 1>a year to build that strength up, but he hasn't

0:35:55.160 --> 0:35:57.200
<v Speaker 1>backed down from challenges. And it hasn't been perfect, but

0:35:57.239 --> 0:35:59.480
<v Speaker 1>he's been solid. I worried about him too with no

0:35:59.719 --> 0:36:02.879
<v Speaker 1>Tras Frederick. Yeah, that's where I said, because I thought, Okay,

0:36:02.880 --> 0:36:05.880
<v Speaker 1>at least Travis Frederick will help him, you know, because

0:36:06.040 --> 0:36:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Travis Frederick's capable of doing that count Travis Fredericks was

0:36:08.920 --> 0:36:12.560
<v Speaker 1>capable of knowing his assignments, knowing your assignments, and executing

0:36:12.640 --> 0:36:15.520
<v Speaker 1>both your assignments. You know, his assignments and your assignments.

0:36:15.560 --> 0:36:17.600
<v Speaker 1>So you know, with Joe, I was worried about Joe

0:36:17.840 --> 0:36:20.080
<v Speaker 1>just having to worry about his own assignments and trying

0:36:20.080 --> 0:36:22.360
<v Speaker 1>to execute those. But I think that I think that

0:36:22.480 --> 0:36:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Connor Williams and some one on one stuff has actually

0:36:24.920 --> 0:36:27.399
<v Speaker 1>been pretty good. He gets a break this week because

0:36:27.440 --> 0:36:31.399
<v Speaker 1>they cut Ziggy hood. They did do that yesterday. Huh. Yeah,

0:36:31.520 --> 0:36:34.880
<v Speaker 1>he has a backup. But yeah, because Ziggy Jonathan Allen

0:36:34.960 --> 0:36:37.279
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, those guys in pain are pretty darn yeah

0:36:37.280 --> 0:36:39.239
<v Speaker 1>they are. I've got it. I'm gonna have to use

0:36:39.320 --> 0:36:43.279
<v Speaker 1>a compound word that I'm gonna make up, okay, because

0:36:43.320 --> 0:36:45.239
<v Speaker 1>this is the first thing that came to my mind.

0:36:45.560 --> 0:36:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Arrow up, Arrow up, arrow up. Here we go with

0:36:48.760 --> 0:36:51.160
<v Speaker 1>a hyphen yes, one word, or we could make it

0:36:51.239 --> 0:36:53.279
<v Speaker 1>one word if we why, I would ride it that

0:36:53.360 --> 0:36:55.200
<v Speaker 1>way and that yellow line or that red line would

0:36:55.200 --> 0:36:59.200
<v Speaker 1>come underneath it would Yeah, right, get that line? How

0:36:59.239 --> 0:37:02.320
<v Speaker 1>do you? Okay? In the but when I make up boards,

0:37:02.360 --> 0:37:04.360
<v Speaker 1>I get tired when I see that. Yeah, but do

0:37:04.440 --> 0:37:07.040
<v Speaker 1>you see an arrow up? Because if you encouraged, I

0:37:07.080 --> 0:37:08.880
<v Speaker 1>think the more he plays, the better he gets. And

0:37:08.960 --> 0:37:12.480
<v Speaker 1>I think they're figuring out ways to use him where

0:37:12.520 --> 0:37:15.919
<v Speaker 1>he's more productive on the move. He's awfully darn good

0:37:16.080 --> 0:37:18.880
<v Speaker 1>on the move. And and when you got two guards

0:37:18.960 --> 0:37:22.240
<v Speaker 1>like that, let's let's get back to the packers student.

0:37:22.480 --> 0:37:26.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, yeah, let's do the Lombardi sweet Lombardi sweep student.

0:37:26.000 --> 0:37:29.640
<v Speaker 1>Body right, us body right, let's go. That's that's nothing

0:37:29.719 --> 0:37:31.759
<v Speaker 1>wrong with that. You want to hit one more before

0:37:31.800 --> 0:37:34.279
<v Speaker 1>one more for the break? Right? Could do you see

0:37:34.360 --> 0:37:37.800
<v Speaker 1>the the bubble bursting for Brett maher mahar how do

0:37:37.880 --> 0:37:41.160
<v Speaker 1>I say his name? Mahh yeah, Brett maher Well, I

0:37:41.200 --> 0:37:43.640
<v Speaker 1>hope it. Did you see the bubble bursting for Brett Maher?

0:37:43.719 --> 0:37:45.520
<v Speaker 1>I hope I didn't jinx him yesterday because I wrote

0:37:45.520 --> 0:37:47.120
<v Speaker 1>about how you know, if we're going to rip the

0:37:47.200 --> 0:37:51.839
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys front office for all right tight end receiver, maybe

0:37:51.920 --> 0:37:54.640
<v Speaker 1>they didn't project well enough there. You can argue that

0:37:54.760 --> 0:37:59.640
<v Speaker 1>if you want, um for now, they nailed this decision,

0:38:00.080 --> 0:38:03.239
<v Speaker 1>because this guy has been absolute money. Yeah. I went

0:38:03.280 --> 0:38:06.160
<v Speaker 1>back and looked at it. Uh. Dan Bailey I think

0:38:06.239 --> 0:38:09.200
<v Speaker 1>had a stretch of twenty two consecutive field goals back

0:38:09.239 --> 0:38:11.839
<v Speaker 1>in twenty thirteen, and he made eighteen a few years

0:38:11.880 --> 0:38:14.880
<v Speaker 1>ago in a row. These guy's at fifteen and counting,

0:38:15.239 --> 0:38:19.839
<v Speaker 1>you hope, um, and they've been pretty much down the middle. Yeah,

0:38:19.880 --> 0:38:22.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean where he's like like it's a miss, Oh,

0:38:22.920 --> 0:38:25.799
<v Speaker 1>it's good a couple of hooks, but yeah, he's been

0:38:26.120 --> 0:38:27.759
<v Speaker 1>as steady as you could ask for. This will be

0:38:28.200 --> 0:38:32.160
<v Speaker 1>a pretty good test for him. Chopped up field, grabutdoors.

0:38:32.280 --> 0:38:34.320
<v Speaker 1>You don't know what the wind's gonna be doing, and

0:38:34.400 --> 0:38:36.759
<v Speaker 1>then you start thinking because you know, really when he

0:38:37.120 --> 0:38:38.960
<v Speaker 1>the first one he missed, had a little bit to

0:38:39.040 --> 0:38:40.759
<v Speaker 1>do with the wind, right, you know, it was out

0:38:41.239 --> 0:38:44.439
<v Speaker 1>to drifted it outside on grass. So it's a little

0:38:44.480 --> 0:38:50.200
<v Speaker 1>bit of a different story. But uh, it is bubble bursting,

0:38:50.360 --> 0:38:53.040
<v Speaker 1>meaning he misses one. I'm just saying. I'm just saying,

0:38:53.160 --> 0:38:55.640
<v Speaker 1>is he just the bubble bursting because he continue only

0:38:55.800 --> 0:38:58.520
<v Speaker 1>heard me when in Houston I said he, I mean

0:38:58.600 --> 0:39:01.160
<v Speaker 1>he's due to miss one, right, it's gonna miss one. Yeah,

0:39:01.200 --> 0:39:04.320
<v Speaker 1>and he hasn't he's reset the bar. The bar was

0:39:05.640 --> 0:39:09.120
<v Speaker 1>way down here. There wasn't a bar in preseason. We

0:39:09.160 --> 0:39:11.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't even know he was a candidate, honestly. Yeah, So

0:39:11.640 --> 0:39:17.400
<v Speaker 1>what's now, So that percentage is going to be in

0:39:17.440 --> 0:39:20.480
<v Speaker 1>the ninety percent range. Yeah, I think he's leading the

0:39:20.560 --> 0:39:23.400
<v Speaker 1>NFC and or he's one of the top and scoring.

0:39:23.480 --> 0:39:25.719
<v Speaker 1>If I'm not mistaken, If you keep this up, you're

0:39:25.800 --> 0:39:28.520
<v Speaker 1>in the Pro Bowl. Yeah, Honestly, I mean you know

0:39:28.640 --> 0:39:31.160
<v Speaker 1>in the AFC, justice is gonna make it. I just

0:39:31.520 --> 0:39:34.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't see the guy failing. I really don't. Maybe

0:39:34.360 --> 0:39:36.640
<v Speaker 1>that maybe I've totally jinxen him here, but I just

0:39:36.760 --> 0:39:40.280
<v Speaker 1>don't see it. But Mickey's right again looking at tape,

0:39:40.360 --> 0:39:42.600
<v Speaker 1>the field is chopped up. When you guys walk the

0:39:42.680 --> 0:39:45.280
<v Speaker 1>field on Sunday, you're gonna see a chopped up field.

0:39:45.880 --> 0:39:48.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, you're gonna no telling what the wind, the

0:39:48.200 --> 0:39:50.040
<v Speaker 1>weather conditions are going to be. Anybody look at that,

0:39:50.080 --> 0:39:56.239
<v Speaker 1>And I know Mickey lost how many times. I mean,

0:39:56.440 --> 0:39:59.799
<v Speaker 1>last year, you guys played a driving rainstorm in that game.

0:40:00.200 --> 0:40:03.040
<v Speaker 1>So who knows the weather? That's all here is heading

0:40:03.120 --> 0:40:06.320
<v Speaker 1>that way or towards that way. So yeah, I just

0:40:06.640 --> 0:40:09.200
<v Speaker 1>I feel kind of feel like that. You know, I

0:40:09.239 --> 0:40:11.960
<v Speaker 1>don't think it will for this guy. He's fifteen of sixteen.

0:40:12.800 --> 0:40:17.760
<v Speaker 1>It's nine thirty eight, So yeah, ninety three almost ninety

0:40:17.800 --> 0:40:23.960
<v Speaker 1>four percent. Uh, there's a couple guys that are, oh,

0:40:25.680 --> 0:40:28.440
<v Speaker 1>eight of eight. Oh, they they've messed this thing up.

0:40:28.680 --> 0:40:31.839
<v Speaker 1>One guy's sixteen of seventeen and they've got him at

0:40:32.160 --> 0:40:36.120
<v Speaker 1>one thousand percent. Yeah, it's not really welcome to percent,

0:40:36.440 --> 0:40:38.920
<v Speaker 1>is it? Welcome to the league? Is in the immortal

0:40:38.960 --> 0:40:43.120
<v Speaker 1>words of Bill Parcels. One wrong, all wrong. Yeah, that's

0:40:43.160 --> 0:40:44.719
<v Speaker 1>what Bill, you said. Tell me, I'd hand him somebod.

0:40:44.760 --> 0:40:47.239
<v Speaker 1>He goes, that's not right. I'm like what he goes,

0:40:47.400 --> 0:40:50.360
<v Speaker 1>one wrong, all wrong, and I'm like, okay, Actually that

0:40:50.520 --> 0:40:53.000
<v Speaker 1>was my thinking when I you know, back in the

0:40:53.120 --> 0:40:56.080
<v Speaker 1>day editing copy. If you make a fact mistake here,

0:40:56.200 --> 0:41:00.279
<v Speaker 1>how do I believe that? Yeah, you can't, but the fact. Sorry,

0:41:00.280 --> 0:41:02.359
<v Speaker 1>this kid's kicking, but he's gonna miss one. I don't

0:41:02.400 --> 0:41:05.200
<v Speaker 1>think the bubble burst and I think he seems too

0:41:05.360 --> 0:41:10.759
<v Speaker 1>strong mentally to go downhill. Well yeah, I mean we

0:41:10.880 --> 0:41:15.640
<v Speaker 1>thought that about this redible risk that they took. It's

0:41:15.719 --> 0:41:19.399
<v Speaker 1>halfway through. It's it's paying off for him. Now. Yeah,

0:41:19.440 --> 0:41:22.239
<v Speaker 1>Bailey was a little different circumstance. He got hurt, got her.

0:41:22.440 --> 0:41:24.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying he's mentally and he may say I'm

0:41:24.480 --> 0:41:27.920
<v Speaker 1>back too soon. That's that's that's a fair for him.

0:41:27.960 --> 0:41:29.520
<v Speaker 1>It was like a golf swing. It just kind of

0:41:29.560 --> 0:41:33.279
<v Speaker 1>went south for Tiger. Wood's not winning for five years,

0:41:33.560 --> 0:41:35.800
<v Speaker 1>yeah kind of. I mean, I think it was a

0:41:35.920 --> 0:41:40.000
<v Speaker 1>carry over into the off season. Yeah. And one of

0:41:40.040 --> 0:41:43.840
<v Speaker 1>the reasons why they brought this guy in, um he

0:41:43.960 --> 0:41:47.359
<v Speaker 1>could punt and he can kick everybody a break. They're

0:41:47.400 --> 0:41:50.440
<v Speaker 1>in training camp, and then I just don't think they

0:41:51.080 --> 0:41:55.800
<v Speaker 1>they they got scared of sort of the mental nature

0:41:56.080 --> 0:41:59.839
<v Speaker 1>of Bailey in training camps because he didn't kick that right,

0:42:00.040 --> 0:42:02.960
<v Speaker 1>And they also saw this kid not miss Yeah, so

0:42:03.080 --> 0:42:05.120
<v Speaker 1>it's another thing. And then I mean he malories and

0:42:05.200 --> 0:42:08.200
<v Speaker 1>said he didn't make everyone. I I remember a couple

0:42:08.200 --> 0:42:12.560
<v Speaker 1>of ugly kicks, right, Sure he missed too, yeah, But

0:42:12.840 --> 0:42:16.040
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco he settled down and then it was like, yeah,

0:42:16.200 --> 0:42:19.279
<v Speaker 1>he's making everything, and you know, and and and part

0:42:19.320 --> 0:42:22.800
<v Speaker 1>of me thought in the game Sunday that at the

0:42:22.960 --> 0:42:25.000
<v Speaker 1>end when they kicked a fifty five yard or they

0:42:25.080 --> 0:42:27.560
<v Speaker 1>made it't need to do that, right, But I think

0:42:27.600 --> 0:42:29.960
<v Speaker 1>they thought, you know what, let's give me some confidence. Yeah,

0:42:30.040 --> 0:42:32.000
<v Speaker 1>let's send him out there. You know, let's see what

0:42:32.080 --> 0:42:35.120
<v Speaker 1>he can do from fifty five in a game, all right,

0:42:35.280 --> 0:42:37.640
<v Speaker 1>And he nailed it. Yeah, he has nailed it. Ten

0:42:37.680 --> 0:42:39.239
<v Speaker 1>games to go, a long way to go, but he

0:42:39.400 --> 0:42:41.840
<v Speaker 1>is playing extremely well. Right now, Let's take our final break.

0:42:42.560 --> 0:42:45.840
<v Speaker 1>When we come back, I've got a specific question for

<v Speaker 1>like three shows after some times, no, nonrena We're gonna

0:46:34.600 --> 0:46:35.959
<v Speaker 1>do that all right. We only got a few minutes

0:46:36.040 --> 0:46:38.840
<v Speaker 1>left in the show. If that happened. A lot of

0:46:38.920 --> 0:46:43.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of redskin talk today. And yeah it's Harvey

0:46:43.680 --> 0:46:46.160
<v Speaker 1>Martin week. Yeah, there we go, Memorial Week. We might

0:46:46.239 --> 0:46:47.840
<v Speaker 1>have time to squeeze in a phone call at the end,

0:46:47.880 --> 0:46:49.759
<v Speaker 1>if you guys want to call in eight eight, five,

0:46:50.040 --> 0:46:51.839
<v Speaker 1>two two nine sevens the number I wanted to touch

0:46:51.920 --> 0:46:55.080
<v Speaker 1>quickly on the Redskins defense because we saw this renaissance

0:46:55.120 --> 0:46:59.640
<v Speaker 1>from the Cowboys offense on Sunday against Jacksonville forty points.

0:47:00.800 --> 0:47:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Just nobody saw that coming. Now they face a Redskins defense,

0:47:04.360 --> 0:47:08.719
<v Speaker 1>guys that against the run just shut down the best

0:47:10.040 --> 0:47:14.399
<v Speaker 1>running attack in the NFL through five weeks, Carolina eighty

0:47:14.440 --> 0:47:17.360
<v Speaker 1>one yards. And what's interesting to me about it, guys,

0:47:17.680 --> 0:47:21.600
<v Speaker 1>is the read option that we've seen already head to head,

0:47:21.680 --> 0:47:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Cam Newton, Christian McCaffrey. Number one, you see the Cowboys

0:47:25.640 --> 0:47:28.960
<v Speaker 1>trying that more and actually continuing what we saw with

0:47:29.120 --> 0:47:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Dak running more. And two, is this a bad matchup

0:47:31.880 --> 0:47:34.960
<v Speaker 1>given with the way the Redskins handled that this past Sunday. Yeah,

0:47:35.040 --> 0:47:36.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, I went back and I did get to

0:47:36.880 --> 0:47:41.280
<v Speaker 1>see the Carolina game. I didn't know if anybody else did. Yes, Okay,

0:47:41.400 --> 0:47:44.960
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, they it was I don't think that the

0:47:45.960 --> 0:47:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Carolina was totally committed to doing it. Well who was, Yeah,

0:47:50.040 --> 0:47:52.840
<v Speaker 1>I was running the ball for him. Yeahcaffrey. McCaffrey was

0:47:52.880 --> 0:47:54.759
<v Speaker 1>trying to run it. But they I don't think they.

0:47:55.680 --> 0:47:57.759
<v Speaker 1>It looked like to me they came into the game

0:47:58.440 --> 0:48:01.600
<v Speaker 1>trying to throw the ball all initially and they and

0:48:01.680 --> 0:48:03.640
<v Speaker 1>they got but they got behind in this game. They

0:48:04.480 --> 0:48:07.160
<v Speaker 1>got they got, Yeah, they got they got behind, and

0:48:07.239 --> 0:48:09.400
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, we talk about, oh, if you

0:48:09.480 --> 0:48:12.759
<v Speaker 1>can make somebody one dimensional, you know in Carolina, when

0:48:12.840 --> 0:48:17.879
<v Speaker 1>Carolina can't play either tied or with the lead, Cam

0:48:18.000 --> 0:48:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Newton's really not interested in running all that much, you know.

0:48:21.560 --> 0:48:23.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I mean they've got to have that. They've

0:48:23.360 --> 0:48:25.880
<v Speaker 1>got to have that as part of their their package.

0:48:25.960 --> 0:48:27.600
<v Speaker 1>When they get behind, then all of a sudden, it

0:48:27.680 --> 0:48:30.480
<v Speaker 1>turns into, Okay, we got to throw the ball. I

0:48:30.560 --> 0:48:34.360
<v Speaker 1>think Dallas will be more committed to trying to do

0:48:34.600 --> 0:48:37.640
<v Speaker 1>some of the stuff, the read options stuff, the RPO stuff.

0:48:39.360 --> 0:48:42.800
<v Speaker 1>It's what makes it difficult is when we talk about

0:48:42.840 --> 0:48:45.960
<v Speaker 1>this what I mentioned, you know, with Jonathan Allen, they

0:48:46.000 --> 0:48:48.719
<v Speaker 1>made a big time commitment seventeenth overall pick. I had

0:48:48.800 --> 0:48:51.000
<v Speaker 1>him as a top five guy, you know, in the

0:48:51.120 --> 0:48:53.600
<v Speaker 1>in the draft coming out when he did in twenty seventeen.

0:48:53.680 --> 0:48:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Had some shoulder issues that maybe dropped him down the

0:48:56.400 --> 0:48:59.160
<v Speaker 1>board a little bit to you know, but he played

0:48:59.239 --> 0:49:03.240
<v Speaker 1>five games last Yeah, this Dron Payne, I mean, Preston Smith,

0:49:04.120 --> 0:49:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Kerrigan. They've got guys, they've they've got power. But

0:49:08.080 --> 0:49:11.279
<v Speaker 1>you got Preston Smith and you got Kerrigan, and what

0:49:11.400 --> 0:49:14.000
<v Speaker 1>those guys can do is they run and they you know,

0:49:14.120 --> 0:49:16.080
<v Speaker 1>but you could take advantage of them a little bit

0:49:16.200 --> 0:49:18.560
<v Speaker 1>with the Billy because they're gonna chase. I mean, they're

0:49:18.560 --> 0:49:21.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna chase. So if you do get them chasing the

0:49:21.200 --> 0:49:24.080
<v Speaker 1>ball inside, well maybe you can bounce it. Because the

0:49:24.160 --> 0:49:26.680
<v Speaker 1>way the Redskins like to play it is when they

0:49:26.760 --> 0:49:29.960
<v Speaker 1>when they chase inside, they'll have those linebackers scrape over

0:49:30.080 --> 0:49:32.880
<v Speaker 1>the top. So that's where if you can, you know

0:49:33.000 --> 0:49:34.640
<v Speaker 1>you can. And that's where we saw the Cowboys have

0:49:34.880 --> 0:49:39.920
<v Speaker 1>some success last week. Is as fast as Jacksonville's linebackers were,

0:49:40.960 --> 0:49:43.680
<v Speaker 1>they were able to get bodies up onto those guys

0:49:44.040 --> 0:49:46.200
<v Speaker 1>and then make it difficult for them to have to

0:49:46.320 --> 0:49:49.400
<v Speaker 1>make a play. So I don't really know how committed

0:49:49.840 --> 0:49:52.279
<v Speaker 1>Carolina was to run in the football because I felt

0:49:52.320 --> 0:49:54.600
<v Speaker 1>like they got behind in that game and then all

0:49:54.600 --> 0:49:57.399
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden it became uh, you know, Green Bay

0:49:57.480 --> 0:49:59.160
<v Speaker 1>and I watched that game. That didn't even they didn't

0:49:59.160 --> 0:50:02.000
<v Speaker 1>even try and run. The Saints just the Saints just

0:50:02.120 --> 0:50:04.440
<v Speaker 1>demoralized him the way you know that Drew Brees was

0:50:04.480 --> 0:50:06.760
<v Speaker 1>throwing the football. So they haven't a lot one hundred

0:50:06.840 --> 0:50:09.280
<v Speaker 1>yard rushing, right, But maybe it's a little misleading. McCaffrey

0:50:09.280 --> 0:50:12.640
<v Speaker 1>had twenty yards on eight carries he had and he

0:50:12.960 --> 0:50:15.319
<v Speaker 1>ripped off two like eight yard runs on the first

0:50:15.640 --> 0:50:17.640
<v Speaker 1>drive of the game, and after that had nothing. I

0:50:17.760 --> 0:50:20.880
<v Speaker 1>just noticed when they did run the RPO, they were

0:50:20.920 --> 0:50:23.160
<v Speaker 1>crashing in on him. Yeah, and it makes me think,

0:50:23.200 --> 0:50:24.799
<v Speaker 1>And now I don't know how much the Cowboys will

0:50:24.920 --> 0:50:27.680
<v Speaker 1>use that, but they're going to commit bodies to Zeke

0:50:27.680 --> 0:50:29.600
<v Speaker 1>and try to stop him. Yeah, they know, they know

0:50:29.800 --> 0:50:34.759
<v Speaker 1>that's their survival defensively depends on that. Now, this is

0:50:34.840 --> 0:50:38.560
<v Speaker 1>a secondary that has Josh Norman and they have you know,

0:50:38.600 --> 0:50:41.480
<v Speaker 1>they have a young guy named Quinton Dunbar who you

0:50:41.680 --> 0:50:43.680
<v Speaker 1>could read about today. He's one of my under the

0:50:43.800 --> 0:50:46.400
<v Speaker 1>radar guys. He gets a lot of play because people

0:50:46.520 --> 0:50:49.399
<v Speaker 1>don't want to attack Josh Norman. But I don't think

0:50:49.840 --> 0:50:52.200
<v Speaker 1>I would go away. Like last week we talked about

0:50:52.280 --> 0:50:54.719
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Ramsey and what he was able to do. I

0:50:54.800 --> 0:50:58.080
<v Speaker 1>don't think you go away from Josh Norman. I really don't.

0:50:58.200 --> 0:51:01.960
<v Speaker 1>I think Josh Norman, especially now, they're playing just a

0:51:02.080 --> 0:51:05.279
<v Speaker 1>ton of zone coverage here, So okay, how do you

0:51:05.400 --> 0:51:08.120
<v Speaker 1>find ways? And he's gonna sit on one side of

0:51:08.120 --> 0:51:10.759
<v Speaker 1>the field, He's not going to move around and you know,

0:51:11.000 --> 0:51:12.960
<v Speaker 1>and travel with guys. I mean, I haven't seen that

0:51:13.120 --> 0:51:15.920
<v Speaker 1>so far. I don't expect him to travel with Cole Beasley.

0:51:16.280 --> 0:51:18.800
<v Speaker 1>And then that means that Fabian Moreau, who they drafted

0:51:18.840 --> 0:51:21.239
<v Speaker 1>in the in the third round in the seventeen draft

0:51:21.280 --> 0:51:25.399
<v Speaker 1>from UCLA, is your nickel player. So I just feel

0:51:25.480 --> 0:51:28.600
<v Speaker 1>like though that I would not be afraid to go

0:51:28.880 --> 0:51:31.560
<v Speaker 1>after Josh Norman. I think Josh Norman not say his

0:51:31.680 --> 0:51:35.360
<v Speaker 1>better days are gone, but I don't think Josh Norman

0:51:35.520 --> 0:51:37.759
<v Speaker 1>is this oh my god, we got to stay away

0:51:37.840 --> 0:51:39.960
<v Speaker 1>from you guy. I think that, you know, I think

0:51:40.000 --> 0:51:42.480
<v Speaker 1>there's some things you can do to Josh Norman that

0:51:42.640 --> 0:51:44.759
<v Speaker 1>will that can you could take advantage of him. And

0:51:44.960 --> 0:51:47.160
<v Speaker 1>I think you could take advantage of this Quinton Dunbar

0:51:47.440 --> 0:51:50.320
<v Speaker 1>with some double move stuff. He's really anxious about, you know,

0:51:50.480 --> 0:51:53.160
<v Speaker 1>getting in there. But to the Cowboys game plan, yeah,

0:51:53.680 --> 0:51:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Zeke read option, RPO, waggles, boots, throw the ball down

0:51:58.719 --> 0:52:00.960
<v Speaker 1>the field to Michael Gallup if you can, because I

0:52:01.360 --> 0:52:06.480
<v Speaker 1>see those are opportunities down there. Two points. They got

0:52:06.680 --> 0:52:10.080
<v Speaker 1>off to a the Redskins got off to a seventeen

0:52:10.120 --> 0:52:14.719
<v Speaker 1>to nothing. That was huge. Carolina only ran the ball

0:52:14.960 --> 0:52:20.400
<v Speaker 1>eighteen times. Yeah, and their best run was an end

0:52:20.480 --> 0:52:24.520
<v Speaker 1>around by more is that Dj moore jo had an

0:52:24.520 --> 0:52:29.160
<v Speaker 1>eighteen yard run. Cam ran the ball nine times for

0:52:29.480 --> 0:52:32.600
<v Speaker 1>forty three yards. That's almost five yards a carry a

0:52:32.680 --> 0:52:34.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of us. He just had to keep it because

0:52:34.160 --> 0:52:36.799
<v Speaker 1>they weren't gonna let mccaffre kay, So I'll take that. Yeah,

0:52:36.920 --> 0:52:39.720
<v Speaker 1>they only ran it eighteen times ahead eighty one yards.

0:52:41.080 --> 0:52:44.719
<v Speaker 1>So and then the Saints didn't try to run it.

0:52:44.760 --> 0:52:47.400
<v Speaker 1>They didn't need to run against him, right, they just passed.

0:52:48.040 --> 0:52:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Uh second point. I saw headlines about Josh Norman's back

0:52:53.480 --> 0:52:56.480
<v Speaker 1>had an interception forced to fumble, Right, I could have

0:52:56.560 --> 0:53:00.880
<v Speaker 1>intercepted that ball. Yeah, Cam new And was hit when

0:53:00.960 --> 0:53:02.920
<v Speaker 1>he threw the ball and it fluttered up like a

0:53:03.160 --> 0:53:06.239
<v Speaker 1>duck and it went right to him. And and the

0:53:06.400 --> 0:53:09.280
<v Speaker 1>darn thing about it was if Cam Newton's arm didn't

0:53:09.320 --> 0:53:12.840
<v Speaker 1>get hit, his guy was behind him, they were behind touchdown.

0:53:12.920 --> 0:53:16.520
<v Speaker 1>YEA buying this. You know he's starting to talk a

0:53:16.640 --> 0:53:19.680
<v Speaker 1>better game. He played so bad against New Orleans they

0:53:19.719 --> 0:53:22.759
<v Speaker 1>benched him. Well, he apparently he had a locker room

0:53:22.880 --> 0:53:25.800
<v Speaker 1>thing at halftime with Gruden. Yeah, Well that that was

0:53:26.120 --> 0:53:29.040
<v Speaker 1>that led to the Benching go sit down. He did

0:53:29.160 --> 0:53:31.719
<v Speaker 1>give up two touchdown passes and they so yeah, you know,

0:53:32.520 --> 0:53:34.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they've got some guys up front, but I

0:53:34.760 --> 0:53:39.040
<v Speaker 1>think you know, it's another three four defense. Yeah, those

0:53:39.200 --> 0:53:42.239
<v Speaker 1>defensive ends played. Yeah, gotta block him. You gotta make

0:53:42.320 --> 0:53:44.719
<v Speaker 1>sure these guys are you know. I mean, the thing

0:53:44.800 --> 0:53:48.240
<v Speaker 1>that I always am concerned about is the inside power.

0:53:48.520 --> 0:53:50.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, when you got Looney and you got Connor.

0:53:51.040 --> 0:53:53.360
<v Speaker 1>But you know, so far, so good, you guys have

0:53:53.680 --> 0:53:58.000
<v Speaker 1>have held up well. I think you're gonna have to continue.

0:53:58.280 --> 0:54:00.160
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Carrigan is one of those guys. I think he's

0:54:00.160 --> 0:54:04.400
<v Speaker 1>one of the most underappreciated players in the league because

0:54:04.480 --> 0:54:08.600
<v Speaker 1>he's a he's a He is always going after the ball.

0:54:08.680 --> 0:54:12.160
<v Speaker 1>He's always trying to make plays. He hustles. His effort

0:54:12.280 --> 0:54:14.839
<v Speaker 1>is tremendous. He plays on a football team that's been

0:54:14.960 --> 0:54:17.759
<v Speaker 1>up and down, so he hasn't got the credit. But

0:54:17.920 --> 0:54:20.200
<v Speaker 1>you have to. You have to make sure that you

0:54:20.360 --> 0:54:23.160
<v Speaker 1>finish him off as a blocker. You can't let him

0:54:23.239 --> 0:54:25.799
<v Speaker 1>kind of hang around, hang around if they're moving around

0:54:25.840 --> 0:54:27.799
<v Speaker 1>in the pocket. He's one of those guys that get

0:54:27.880 --> 0:54:31.040
<v Speaker 1>sacks if there's four seconds in the pocket because he's

0:54:31.040 --> 0:54:33.160
<v Speaker 1>just gonna keep going and going and going, and then

0:54:33.200 --> 0:54:36.480
<v Speaker 1>the tackle is gonna lose leverage. And then the next thing,

0:54:36.480 --> 0:54:38.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's got a sack. So you got to

0:54:38.520 --> 0:54:42.399
<v Speaker 1>make And Preston Smith, you know, is a from Mississippi State.

0:54:42.560 --> 0:54:45.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's another a good player's second round pick

0:54:45.520 --> 0:54:48.440
<v Speaker 1>in the twenty fifteen draft. I'll tell you what, I

0:54:48.680 --> 0:54:50.919
<v Speaker 1>really like him a lot too. They've got a couple

0:54:50.920 --> 0:54:54.440
<v Speaker 1>of goes good. Uh, those good outside linebackers with Smith

0:54:54.520 --> 0:54:57.359
<v Speaker 1>and then and then with Kerrigan and and then those

0:54:57.400 --> 0:55:00.480
<v Speaker 1>big inside guys. So it's a good defense up front

0:55:00.520 --> 0:55:03.680
<v Speaker 1>that way. Person. Smith given him trouble before. Yeah, yeah,

0:55:04.200 --> 0:55:08.400
<v Speaker 1>he's range yeah, long rangey guy. All right, let's go

0:55:08.480 --> 0:55:10.839
<v Speaker 1>to redskin country before we get out of here. Oh,

0:55:11.000 --> 0:55:15.239
<v Speaker 1>John in Maryland, they finished finish us up for us

0:55:16.000 --> 0:55:20.640
<v Speaker 1>great when with the against the Jaguars. Loved what back

0:55:20.840 --> 0:55:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Tommy did with that offense. But I'm like super excited

0:55:24.880 --> 0:55:31.880
<v Speaker 1>about this defense. Um, why what? What what makes you

0:55:32.000 --> 0:55:36.919
<v Speaker 1>say about the defense? Sir? Yea, the secondary, the linebackers,

0:55:37.000 --> 0:55:41.279
<v Speaker 1>but especially this line. Okay, um, And that's where my

0:55:41.400 --> 0:55:43.719
<v Speaker 1>question is. We know what dew and David Irvan is

0:55:43.760 --> 0:55:46.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna bring if they stay healthy at the end of

0:55:46.200 --> 0:55:50.200
<v Speaker 1>the year. But if Doors Armstrong and Randy Gregory, if

0:55:50.239 --> 0:55:53.759
<v Speaker 1>they progressed that they have been gained by game and

0:55:53.960 --> 0:55:56.880
<v Speaker 1>along with Moe Collins, do you think this is a

0:55:57.000 --> 0:56:03.080
<v Speaker 1>defense by chemical run like the Giants did and h

0:56:03.640 --> 0:56:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and the Broncos did in years ago? All right, super

0:56:07.040 --> 0:56:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Bowl run? Yeah, all right, yeah yeah, I feel like

0:56:10.880 --> 0:56:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I feel I just I hadn't seen the defensive line

0:56:13.600 --> 0:56:18.359
<v Speaker 1>like the um ever with the Cowboys, and I'm I'm

0:56:18.480 --> 0:56:20.880
<v Speaker 1>going back to like Charles Hilly days and when we

0:56:20.960 --> 0:56:24.640
<v Speaker 1>had Charles Hilly and I don't know if we had

0:56:24.760 --> 0:56:27.279
<v Speaker 1>had me, I'm leash went after the quarterback. But I

0:56:27.400 --> 0:56:30.520
<v Speaker 1>see this Jean line. I see a line that everyone

0:56:30.719 --> 0:56:33.440
<v Speaker 1>can go after the quarterback, and uh, you know, I

0:56:33.520 --> 0:56:35.120
<v Speaker 1>hope that's the chase by the end of the year.

0:56:35.600 --> 0:56:38.560
<v Speaker 1>You know what he said, And thank you When you

0:56:38.640 --> 0:56:40.800
<v Speaker 1>guys were it was earlier, I don't know how we

0:56:40.920 --> 0:56:43.680
<v Speaker 1>were talking about the defensive line and the different guys

0:56:44.360 --> 0:56:47.920
<v Speaker 1>and I was thinking, you remember when Jerry Jones said

0:56:48.200 --> 0:56:51.960
<v Speaker 1>this might be the most talented defensive front we've had,

0:56:52.120 --> 0:56:54.240
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know if he meant in his time

0:56:54.520 --> 0:56:57.960
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. And everybody was like ah ha ha ha,

0:56:58.400 --> 0:57:03.200
<v Speaker 1>that's Jerry over talking again and exaggerating and you know,

0:57:03.480 --> 0:57:07.880
<v Speaker 1>like he had amnesia or something. Well, you know what,

0:57:08.400 --> 0:57:11.120
<v Speaker 1>get what we saw last week. If it's just a

0:57:11.239 --> 0:57:15.000
<v Speaker 1>glimpse of having malite Collins out there, David Irving out there,

0:57:15.120 --> 0:57:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Gregory Lawrence, uh and the caller even mentioned Armstrong and

0:57:19.320 --> 0:57:23.680
<v Speaker 1>Taco's playing better. Yeah, you know that. Now they've got

0:57:23.800 --> 0:57:25.760
<v Speaker 1>to make sure they're good against the run, that they

0:57:25.800 --> 0:57:27.960
<v Speaker 1>don't get this thing in their eye in their head

0:57:28.080 --> 0:57:30.040
<v Speaker 1>that oh we the hot boys and all we gotta

0:57:30.080 --> 0:57:32.520
<v Speaker 1>do is go get sacks. Yeah, you better stop the

0:57:32.640 --> 0:57:36.520
<v Speaker 1>run first, which Marinelli reminds them of every day. But

0:57:36.680 --> 0:57:38.880
<v Speaker 1>if they do that, they got the ability to put

0:57:38.920 --> 0:57:41.800
<v Speaker 1>pressure on the quarterback from across the board. If you

0:57:41.880 --> 0:57:45.160
<v Speaker 1>had an offense that could score consistently, like they'd be

0:57:45.200 --> 0:57:47.000
<v Speaker 1>even better. Yeah. Like if you had to do like

0:57:47.080 --> 0:57:48.480
<v Speaker 1>what the Redskins did the other day and you get

0:57:48.560 --> 0:57:51.040
<v Speaker 1>up seventeen nothing, you know, well you saw it off

0:57:51.120 --> 0:57:54.200
<v Speaker 1>aren't like the last week the Jacksonville. Yeah, all of

0:57:54.240 --> 0:57:56.400
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, that defense becomes a lot better when when

0:57:56.400 --> 0:57:58.320
<v Speaker 1>you all of a sudden you're playing behind the lead.

0:57:58.480 --> 0:58:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Those sacks started piling up and half absolutely deposition the sacks. Sean,

0:58:02.240 --> 0:58:04.120
<v Speaker 1>thanks for the call. We gotta get out of here, guys.

0:58:04.240 --> 0:58:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Good show, good discussion. Bill. We'll be back tomorrow and

0:58:08.400 --> 0:58:11.520
<v Speaker 1>we'll continue breaking down Cowboys. Retch Hall him to finish

0:58:11.640 --> 0:58:14.479
<v Speaker 1>that showed in time to join us. He's a busy,

0:58:14.560 --> 0:58:17.200
<v Speaker 1>busy man, and so is Kid Garrison. Thanks for producing.

0:58:17.280 --> 0:58:19.600
<v Speaker 1>We'll see you guys on Thursday. This has been a

0:58:19.680 --> 0:58:23.240
<v Speaker 1>production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys

0:58:23.320 --> 0:58:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Football Club.
