The chances 49 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 2: of these things kind of happen are pretty slim, you know, 50 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 2: And I kind of think that was my mindset the 51 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 2: whole time. I was going to keep the conversations going 52 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 2: because of the uniqueness of the player. But you know, 53 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 2: I don't think it was really until the last few 54 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 2: days that I actually thought, hey, there's an opportunity here 55 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 2: that to really to close this thing out. 56 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 6: Obviously, I don't think there's much that he can't do. 57 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 6: It's just how do you get him acclimated to what 58 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 6: we're doing and then you can kind of let the 59 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 6: creativity come out. I think I got a lot of 60 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 6: confidence in half in our defensive staff that we'll be 61 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 6: able to put him in positions to maximize not only 62 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 6: his ability, but everybody around him. I just know from 63 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 6: having a game plan against him, that is something that 64 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 6: keeps you up at night when you're going against a 65 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 6: player of his caliber. And now we feel like we've 66 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,399 Speaker 6: got a lot of other pieces around him that it's 67 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 6: going to be that much more challenging for our opponents. 68 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 4: Packers gave up two first round picks and starting nose 69 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 4: tackle Kenny Clark to get Micah Parsons. They also gave 70 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 4: him the biggest non quarterback contract in NFL history. Four years, 71 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 4: one hundred and eighty six million dollars, a new money 72 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 4: average of forty six point five million dollars per year. 73 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 4: A little more info, forty four million dollars. The sign 74 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 4: he makes one hundred million through the first two new years, 75 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 4: deal one hundred and forty one over three and in 76 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 4: essence has everything fully guaranteed for the first three years 77 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 4: of this contract. Ian That shows how badly the Packers 78 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 4: wanted to get Michael Parsons, not just the draft capital 79 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 4: and giving up a core member of their team, but 80 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 4: doing the type of contract that Green Bay historically has 81 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 4: not done for anybody besides the quarterback. They clearly knew that, 82 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 4: even after working out the trade compensation, they also needed 83 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 4: to make this financially worth Michaeh Parsons while and boy 84 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 4: did that. 85 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 7: Yeah, they sure did him. 86 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 8: This was one of those contracts kind of like Aaron 87 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 8: Donald his last contract to Dak Prescott and Derek Stingley, 88 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 8: where you're like wow when you see the very real 89 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 8: and spectacular numbers for Micah Parsons. Brian good Against laid 90 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 8: it out, Judy, this was going to cost them, and 91 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 8: once it became clear that the Dallas Cowboys were not 92 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 8: only open to trading Michah Parsons, but really on Tuesday 93 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 8: into Wednesday that had agreed to a deal with the Packers. 94 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 8: The leverage shifted a little bit. Then it went to 95 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 8: Micah Parsons to say, and his agents and athletes first 96 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 8: to say. 97 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 5: You know what, you want to do this deal. 98 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 8: If you want to complete this deal for this unbelievable player, 99 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 8: you were going to have to pay. And you know, 100 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 8: from an accounting standpoint, mi Parsons gets forty seven million 101 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 8: dollars per year new money. The Packers, because they now 102 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 8: take on five years of the deal, can account for 103 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 8: it as far as forty two million dollars either way. 104 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 8: These kinds of players, Judy, are never ever available unless 105 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 8: you're picking like number one in the draft. 106 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 7: That's why the Packers had to do it. 107 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 4: So we've earned now from Jerry Jones late last night 108 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 4: at some length, we've heard now from the Packers. We 109 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 4: are about again within minutes here to hear from Micah Parsons. Judy, 110 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 4: I'll post the same question to you right now that 111 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 4: I posed to you last night about Jerry Jones. After 112 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 4: all this months of drama a shocking, blockbuster trade a 113 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 4: week before the season opener. What do you want to 114 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 4: hear from Micah as he gets before reporters for the 115 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 4: first time in Green Bay? 116 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 9: Well, I want to hear how he feels about having 117 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 9: been traded. This is a player who probably until very 118 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 9: very recently thought he would spend his entire career in 119 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 9: one place, given the kind of player he is, or 120 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 9: certainly spend a long time in Dallas than he ended 121 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 9: up spending. I'd like him to go back a little 122 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 9: bit and tell us when did he first realize that 123 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 9: he might be traded? At what point in this process? 124 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 9: As you said, this has stretched on for months and 125 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 9: months and months, when did he finally realize I'm not 126 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 9: going to be a Dallas cowboy for much longer? Or 127 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 9: the Green Bay Packers his hand picked destination. Is this 128 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 9: the place where he told his agent get me there, 129 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 9: I want to go there. How did this come to be? 130 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 9: And then, of course, how does he feel going forward 131 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 9: about being part of the Green Bay Packers? How does 132 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 9: he view that franchise? Where does he think that team is, 133 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,239 Speaker 9: Where does he think he fits into where this team 134 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 9: is headed? Again, Michael Parsons is a player who almost 135 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 9: certainly until very very recently thought he was going to 136 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 9: be either a career Dallas Cowboy or spend almost all 137 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 9: of his career with the Dallas Cowboys, maybe that he 138 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 9: would leave towards the end of his career. He surely 139 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 9: did not come into this when this whole thing first started, 140 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 9: thinking that he would be traded with the best years 141 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 9: of his career ahead of him, As Goody said, and 142 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 9: I also, of course, I think we all want to 143 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 9: hear what he thinks about the contract that he earned. 144 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 5: You know what I want to know. I want to know. 145 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 8: What this was like for him, like as a person. 146 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 8: Like the football player is gonna be awesome.

Did you know you were like? 168 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 8: I have a lot of questions and I am very 169 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 8: much looking forward to hearing Mike answer all my questions. 170 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 5: But hopefully someone in Green Bay. 171 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 4: Lask and our guy Brian Baldinger coming to us from 172 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 4: Parts unknown before heading down for some boogie boarding this evening. 173 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 5: Baldy, I'll make it quick here for you. 174 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 4: You hear the news on Micah, you think about what 175 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 4: the potential fit is in Jeff Hafley's defense, what do 176 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 4: you make of this trade? 177 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 5: I think it's an awesome fit. 178 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 10: I mean, literally minutes after the trade happened yesterday, I 179 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 10: just posted a picture of Mike and myself at training 180 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 10: camp and he was smiling, happy, and I'm like, go 181 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 10: pack go the packer back and within minutes Micah just 182 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 10: texted me back like LFG, like you know, let's go, 183 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 10: Like he seems ready for it. Jeffffleet did an unbelievable 184 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,559 Speaker 10: job last year. It was exactly what Matt Lafleur wanted. 185 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 10: They went to a four man front. They wanted four 186 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 10: guys getting after the quarterback. They went to press coverage 187 00:08:58,679 --> 00:08:59,479 Speaker 10: on the outside. 188 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 3: They want to. 189 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 10: Force everything to the middle of field where Xavier McKinney 190 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 10: had eight interceptions. They wanted to take the ball away. 191 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 10: They took it away thirty one times last year. What 192 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 10: Micah brings is a guy opposite Rashaan Gary or he 193 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 10: can line up in other places. You really can move 194 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 10: them around and make offenses. Like Batt Lafleur discussing the 195 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 10: press conference minute to go, you could make offenses. Really 196 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 10: try to gain plan for him. But his speed, his 197 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 10: ability to change directions, and the fact that he's never 198 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 10: on the ground, he's wrestling background. He has incredible balance 199 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 10: and if you get the quarterback moving in any direction 200 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 10: off the spot, nobody chases down a quarterback faster or 201 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 10: with more violence than Micah Parsons like. He is just 202 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 10: a great, great fit for what Jeff Hafley wants to do, 203 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 10: and so Rashon Gary's coming off his first Pro Bowl appearance. 204 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 10: He's a guy that can bring really something that Micah 205 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,599 Speaker 10: has had very little of in his four years in 206 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 10: now somebody really opposite him that can really also flush 207 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 10: to quarterback. And then when you push the pocket and 208 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 10: you got guys like Edwin Cooper at linebacker right now, 209 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 10: they're going to be very, very difficult to deal with, 210 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 10: I think from a game plan standpoint, and how they 211 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 10: can affect the quarterback with Micah really leading the charge. 212 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 9: You know, they were a top ten defense in points 213 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 9: allowed and yards allowed last season, and strangely, they were 214 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 9: more towards the middle of the pack, and like quarterback hurries, 215 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 9: quarterback hits, quarterback pressure, they were more towards the middle 216 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 9: of the league. That of course, is what Michael Parsons 217 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 9: can bring to them, right This is what he does, 218 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 9: and so you have to think that that defense now 219 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 9: elevates even further that I think actually puts more of 220 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 9: a spotlight on Jordan Love, who of course had the 221 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 9: up and down season last year because he had the injuries, 222 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 9: but that team still went to the playoffs. They won 223 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 9: eleven games despite having a pretty banged up quarterback and 224 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 9: pretty uneven quarterback play for most of the season. Now 225 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 9: you've added you've got Jordan love back kealthy, you've added 226 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 9: a first round wide receiver, and you've added a generational 227 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 9: pass rushing talent in the prime of his career. The 228 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,199 Speaker 9: Packers are certainly prepared to make a deep push. I 229 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 9: would think in the NFC this year. 230 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 4: I'll slip over to the other side here, Baldy, because 231 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,359 Speaker 4: there were plenty of Cowboys fans getting the tweet alerts 232 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 4: from me and Ian and Jane last night with the 233 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 4: details of this training, just going what are we doing? 234 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 5: What is the plan? 235 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,599 Speaker 4: We also heard Jerry Jones saying a big part of me, 236 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 4: he said, within the first five minutes of a very 237 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 4: long press conference, stop the run. 238 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 5: We need to stop the run. We only were negotiating. 239 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 4: With teams that had a defensive tackle to give us. 240 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 4: You know Kenny Clark, but you also know where the 241 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 4: strengths and weaknesses are of that Cowboys team. In terms 242 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 4: of this swap, Michael Parsons out Kenny Clark and even 243 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 4: setting aside all this stuff about the first round picks 244 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 4: and all that How is this going to impact this 245 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 4: Dallas team in twenty twenty five. 246 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 10: I just could impact it in a negative way. All 247 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 10: due respect to Jerry In and his decision and what 248 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 10: they decided to do, because it sounded like last night 249 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 10: it's an organizational decision. 250 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 5: It wasn't just his. 251 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 10: I find that hard to believe, actually, but uh, you know, 252 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,199 Speaker 10: the star players win you football games, and this league 253 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 10: is built on stars, and Micah is a megastar. The 254 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 10: Giants never beat Michael Parsons when he was in the lineup. 255 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 10: All he did was destroy their offense. You know, I'm 256 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,719 Speaker 10: going to be in South Philly on Thursday night when 257 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 10: the Cowboys face the Eagles, and I can tell you 258 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 10: right now that Blane Johnson and Jordan Malata were prepared 259 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 10: for a beast off the edge and they're not going 260 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 10: to see him. We'll see him later on the year, 261 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 10: but they're not going to see them on Thursday night. 262 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 10: And not that they're gonna bring up breathe a big 263 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 10: sigh of relief. They'll have guys that come off the edge. 264 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 10: They mentioned Marshawn Neel, and they mentioned Donovan Ezeraklu, the rookie. 265 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 10: They mentioned other guys Sam Williams. None of these guys 266 00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 10: will ever be Michael Parsons ever, and so they're gonna 267 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 10: lose their star player. And you know, you look at 268 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 10: what Matt Eberfliss wants to do. He wants to rush 269 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 10: with four guys and get home. And I'm sure he 270 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 10: was gonna plan on moving Mike around and putting him 271 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 10: in different spots the way they're capable of doing. You 272 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 10: get him on a running back. There's no running back 273 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 10: in the league tack and match up with him. There's 274 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 10: ways to get him free and to chase the quarterback. 275 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 10: They don't have that guy right now, and so they 276 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 10: lose a lot. And you could talk about draft picks 277 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 10: all you want. Michaeh Parsons hasn't been in any of 278 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 10: the last four drafts. There's only been one Micaeh Parsons 279 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 10: in the last four drafts, and it's him. And so 280 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 10: maybe another guy comes on down the pike that looks 281 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 10: like him, plays like him. I don't think Abdul Carter 282 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 10: is Michaeh Parsons, but regardless he is, he is the MPP. 283 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 10: He is the Micah Parsons problem that all thirty one 284 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 10: other teams were trying to deal with over the last 285 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 10: four years. 286 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 8: Yeah, and Baldi, he did a great job of explaining 287 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 8: why the Green Bay Packers had to go for him, because, 288 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 8: as we talked about, these guys are not available from 289 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 8: a Dallas perspective. This is what I keep coming back to, like, 290 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 8: Dallas has drafted one so unbelievably well over the last 291 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 8: five or six or even more years that they've actually 292 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 8: run into a problem because they have to pay all 293 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 8: these guys top of the market, which kind of turned 294 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 8: their roster top heavy and basically created the necessity or 295 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 8: decision whoever you want to say, of making this decision 296 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 8: to trade Micah Parsons. But all they do, all they 297 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 8: do is draft offensive lineman and draft defensive lineman. That's 298 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 8: literally it. Now, Micah Parsons was a linebacker and they 299 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 8: took him. Now the factors listem as a defensive lineman, 300 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 8: so we can include him in that. 301 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 5: It's literally all they do. 302 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 8: And the Cowboys have been very, very successful identifying great 303 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 8: offensive lineman and good defensive lineman and understanding why that 304 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 8: is important. I am not saying at all that Kenny 305 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 8: Clark is going to be Michael Parsons is also, by the. 306 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 5: Way, thirty years old. 307 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 8: But at least this is consistent with how the Cowboys 308 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 8: have been successful, which is prioritizing internal offensive line defensive line, 309 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 8: doing so in a way that everyone's like, oh, I 310 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 8: guess the Cowboys are going to just take this lineman again, 311 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 8: and they all turn out to be really good and 312 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 8: it's why they've won. So at least this mission statement 313 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 8: has been consistent of what they've done over the course 314 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 8: of the last decade, and they've won doing it. 315 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 5: Well. 316 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 10: If you're trying to build a team Ian, I mean, 317 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 10: you could pay, you can draft Ced Lamb. He's a 318 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 10: great player, But would you rather have a generational pass 319 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 10: rusher or a wide receiver. I mean, just ask any 320 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 10: football person that question. I take the pass rusher over 321 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 10: the receiver every day, even if it's CD or Jamar 322 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 10: or whatever. Give me the guy that can go chase 323 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 10: the quarterback. And that's how you build a team. You 324 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 10: draft the quarterback, you draft your left tackle, you draft 325 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 10: the pass rusher, everything else you fill in. There's this 326 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 10: guy is just so different than everybody else, and his 327 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 10: speed and closing speed and changing plays and Jery could 328 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 10: talk about sapping on Micael was fine against the run. 329 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 10: You could run at Mike and that guy knew how 330 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 10: to stop the run. He was fine what he did. 331 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 10: But what he just did on that play right there, 332 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 10: like no offensive line could stay in front of him. 333 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 10: And if everyone to come on stunts in this like 334 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 10: what he's doing right here, it's like trying to stop water. 335 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 10: You can't stop water. It always finds the source. Mike 336 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 10: is just he's just like fresh water coming at you. 337 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 10: You squeeze him, It's like Jello. He's going to come 338 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 10: and find the opening physically if you just apply physics 339 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 10: to it. He like basically breaks every rule. 340 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 4: Here's the everything that bears mentioning too. And Ian is 341 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 4: generally right in terms of how the Cowboys have drafted, 342 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 4: But two years ago they used their first round pick 343 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 4: on Mazzie Smith. Mazzie Smith is now the player that 344 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 4: Kenny Clark is taking the place of in that defense. 345 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 4: That goes to show you the fickleness of those first 346 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 4: round picks. And I would also mention this twenty eighteen, 347 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 4: the last time we saw a superstar pass rusher in 348 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 4: his prime traded. That was that in essence, there are 349 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 4: a bunch of picks going back and forth, but. 350 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 5: It was two ones roughly right. 351 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,360 Speaker 4: The players that the Raiders got out of the Khalil 352 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 4: Mack trade were wide receiver named Brian Edwards who disappeared 353 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 4: from the league immediately. Bless you On Austin, who was 354 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 4: a defensive back, was not around very long. Damon Arnett 355 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 4: was one of their first round picks at corner that 356 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 4: went sideways for a variety of reasons. And Josh Jacobs, 357 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 4: who became a very very good player with the Raiders. 358 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 4: They didn't get a long term deal done, and now 359 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 4: he is teammates with Michaeh Parsons in Green Bay. They 360 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 4: do have a lot of capital to build this thing, 361 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 4: but you better be careful that you hit on those 362 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,199 Speaker 4: picks or this is not going to look anything like 363 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 4: the Herschel Walker trade that Jerry liked to invoke last night. Well, 364 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 4: also here from the guy who went the other direction 365 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 4: in that trade. Kenny Clark has joined the Cowboys at 366 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 4: the Star and he've joined r Jane Slater. 367 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 5: That interview and Mike coming up next on the insectives. 368 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 4: Michael Parsons's next Thursday Night off because he's no longer 369 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 4: a member of the Cowboys who were back on the 370 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 4: practice field for their first practice of the post Parsons era, 371 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:16,199 Speaker 4: coach Brian Schottenheimer seeing there, clapping enthusiastically. The advisor remains backwards, 372 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 4: but is there a season still heading straight ahead? 373 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: This is a unanimous decision. Like when we talked about it, 374 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 1: this was unanimous from top to bottom. And again when 375 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 1: you look at it, there's gonna be adversity. I don't 376 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 1: see this as adversity. I think that again, guys will 377 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: step up, guys will really do a great job of 378 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: again bringing these new pieces into the locker room and 379 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 1: the culture and get them up to speed. It was 380 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: cool for some of me just looking over during practice 381 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 1: today and seeing Kenny talking to Dante Fowler and Donovan Azraku, 382 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: and you know it kind of that's what you want. 383 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 1: You know, these guys aren't all standing off by themselves, going, oh, 384 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: you know what's going on? Like, no, it's not what 385 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: you do in this business. I was confident he would 386 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: be back, you know. I think at the end of 387 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: the day, you know, we're you know, happy for Micah 388 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: his family. You look at the deal that he got, 389 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: you know, that's that's awesome. I wish him nothing but 390 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: the best. I mean, he's done an incredible job here 391 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys for the last you know, four years. 392 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 4: Right now, let's stay in Dallas where Jane Slater was 393 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 4: over there with the Cowboys earlier today on a unique 394 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 4: day in team history. Jane, you heard everything Brian Schottenneimer 395 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 4: had to say right there. 396 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 5: What were your takeaways? 397 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 11: Well, I thought what stood out to me was he 398 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 11: made a point of saying that Micah is still family. 399 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,360 Speaker 11: He might no longer be with the Cowboys, but that's 400 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 11: how they view him. He also said that he made 401 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 11: a point to reach out to about fourteen or fifteen 402 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 11: players last night. One of them was Trayvon Diggs, who 403 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 11: was very close to Micah Parsons on this team, and 404 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 11: he said he wouldn't divulge the results of some of 405 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 11: those conversations, but he thought it was important that they 406 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 11: at least had a space to vent and talk about 407 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 11: how they felt about the things. I mean, when I 408 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 11: talked to Brian Schottenheimer at his introductory press conference, I 409 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 11: said to him, what do you want to be remembered 410 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 11: for when it's all said and done in Dallas? And 411 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:16,199 Speaker 11: he said, for building the best culture in sports, and 412 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 11: that's what he's trying to do around here. I mean, 413 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 11: Jerry highlighted it yesterday at the presser. A third of 414 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 11: this team is new. It's a new coaching staff. And 415 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,479 Speaker 11: when I saw number ninety six, which is now Kenny Clark, 416 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 11: he was coming out onto the football field with Demarvia overshown. 417 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 11: And so we're already beginning to see Arry see some 418 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 11: of the video right there. We're already seeing the imprint 419 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 11: of what Brian Schottenheimer hopes takes shape on this team. 420 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 11: As one person described it to me earlier this afternoon, 421 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 11: most of this locker room has bought in to Schottenheimer 422 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 11: in this culture. There's been a few that haven't, but 423 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 11: this was a very clear And when I say haven't, 424 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 11: it's I don't want to make that because I know 425 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 11: with Cowboys it can be a whole big headline. What 426 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 11: I'll say about that is this just sent a very 427 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 11: clear message that we want to be a family around here. 428 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 11: It's about energy, it's about buying into the process. It's 429 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 11: about being men. It's about showing up to the treatment room. 430 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 11: It's about lifting, it's about watching tape on the side. 431 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 11: And so those were some of the things that stood 432 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 11: out to me from his press conference today when he 433 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 11: said it was unanimous, we're not taking a role call here, 434 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 11: which one of you was against Micah Parson's, which one 435 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,199 Speaker 11: of you said, get them out of here. You're not 436 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 11: going to get that from this locker room moving forward, 437 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 11: especially when they've got the Eagles in six days and 438 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 11: that's really where their focus is right now. 439 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 4: You were in that locker room too today, Jane, and 440 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 4: every NFL player, every high level laughing. I think every 441 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 4: human being wants people around them who make them better. 442 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 4: They want to have coaches who can improve their play. 443 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 4: They want to have teammates that can make them stand 444 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 4: out more. Michael Parson certainly does that by so virtue 445 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 4: of it takes two or three guys to block them. 446 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 4: That frees some things up for the other players. In 447 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 4: that locker room today was a shock. What was the 448 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 4: emotion and how much of a distraction is this less 449 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 4: than a week before they opened the season against the 450 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 4: defending Super Bowl champs. 451 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 11: Well, conveniently, a lot of players didn't make themselves available. 452 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 5: They were lifting or getting treatment. 453 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 11: Tom But the ones that I did speak with, I 454 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 11: talked to George Pickens, and I said, you've got a 455 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 11: unique point of view, what are your thoughts on this? 456 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 11: And he just talked about sometimes a different environment is 457 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 11: good for you, and this, from what he could see, 458 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 11: sounded like something that both sides ultimately needed to do. 459 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 11: Here at the end, when I talked to Osa Digiezua, 460 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 11: this was a guy that lines up at defensive tackle. 461 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 11: He'll be lining up alongside Kinney Clark. He said he 462 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 11: was shocked by it. Didn't necessarily expect where this was 463 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 11: going to go. I think shock is probably the good 464 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 11: word around there, because we've seen so many of these 465 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 11: negotiations play out until the eleventh hour, so I think 466 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 11: there was a mild bit of shock that Micah Parsons 467 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 11: wasn't in the locker room. But for the most part, 468 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 11: they're playing their cards close to the vest, and like 469 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 11: I said, they're really focused on moving forward. I did 470 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 11: get a chance to talk with Kenny Clark today and 471 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 11: I think fans go listen to the interview I posted 472 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 11: on Twitter. I think they're really going to be impressed 473 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 11: with him. You know, I've seen one knock on the 474 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 11: interwebs about you know, he's twenty nine years old. He 475 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 11: had one of his worst seasons last year. He is 476 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 11: a three time pro bowler. When I asked him about that, 477 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 11: I reminded him, Hey, I was at that Packers game 478 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 11: against the Eagles in Brazil. Get injured your foot? How 479 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,199 Speaker 11: is it? He says, it's fine that this team is 480 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 11: going to get all that he's got. I also said, 481 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 11: how long is it going to take for you to 482 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 11: get acclimated? In other words, at that position? How long 483 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 11: does it take to necessarily know the playbook? And it 484 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 11: was Matt Eberflus who told me, you know, the Packers 485 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 11: defense is very similar to what they're running here in Dallas. 486 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 11: He says, this one's going to be really easy for 487 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 11: to pick up on. They're going to spend some extra 488 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 11: time with him. But it sounds like, according to Clark, 489 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 11: he'll be ready to play against the Eagles next Thursday night. 490 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 4: Last thing for you real quick here, ja, because one 491 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 4: thing that Brian Schottenheimer said stood out to me, and 492 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 4: not that any coach in the entire league is going 493 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,679 Speaker 4: to go to the podium and go, hey, we're shooting 494 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 4: to be eight and nine this year. 495 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 5: He said, the goal is still to win a Super Bowl. 496 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,679 Speaker 4: The actions of the Dallas Cowboys trading away one of 497 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 4: their best players at age twenty six for two first 498 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 4: round picks and granted a defensive tackle that Jerry Jones 499 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,120 Speaker 4: made abundantly cleary things can help him right now. Those 500 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 4: are not the actions of a team that believes this 501 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 4: is the Super Bowl window right now. 502 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 5: Internally. 503 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 4: I know Brian Schottenheimer's an optimist, but do they believe that? 504 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 4: How do they actually look at the expectations and what 505 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 4: they should be right now? Before all, you can use 506 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 4: all those picks right now in twenty twenty five. 507 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 11: They're not going to say it, but I think this 508 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 11: is obviously a little deflating when you consider you don't 509 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 11: have a guy like Micah Parsons on either side of 510 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 11: the ball. As somebody pointed out to me, it's just 511 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,959 Speaker 11: going to make it harder for Dak Prescott in the offense. 512 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 11: In other words, this is going to just put more 513 00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 11: pressure on them. 514 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 5: Can they handle it? 515 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 11: I think George Pickens and what they did in the 516 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,239 Speaker 11: off season getting him certainly helps them. If you can 517 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 11: get Jayden Blue out there and really pop for you, yeah, 518 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 11: I think they've got some things here. And then keep 519 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 11: in mind here in the next couple of weeks. You're 520 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 11: going to get to Marvin Over shown back, Trayvon Diggs, 521 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 11: You've got Jeron Bland, Kayln Carson was off to the 522 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 11: side working off on you know, with Britt Brown on 523 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 11: some of the cords, and so you do have players 524 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 11: coming back. You know, before this Micah Parsons thing happened, 525 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 11: I was telling people I actually thought the Cowboys were 526 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 11: going to be better than what was projected. I don't know. Now, 527 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 11: we'll just see what Matt Eberflus is able to do 528 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 11: with some of his creativity along this defensive line. But 529 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 11: I think it's smart too, at least especially with the 530 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 11: Dallas Cowboys temper. The expectations the all in from Jerry 531 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 11: certainly didn't help them put a big target on their back. 532 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,120 Speaker 4: A lot of great revenge games on the twenty twenty 533 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 4: five NFL calendar. Add another one week four Packers Cowboys, 534 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 4: the return of Micah Parsons, who for the first time 535 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 4: in his still young career, it's to chase around Dak Prescott. 536 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 4: Time now to go inside with NFL Fantasy Live. It's 537 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 4: Tom Pilaicero Ian Rapport and our guy Adam Rank. It 538 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 4: is College Colors day, So we're gonna let it slide. 539 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 4: Whatever in the world you're wearing college color days that 540 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 4: Comcast repping cal State, Fuller. 541 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 12: Ten, Boston College. Do you even have a baseball team? Like, 542 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 12: what's going on? 543 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:29,959 Speaker 5: Yeah, they gotta do. They gotta do a stadium. 544 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,360 Speaker 4: They don't play in the parking lot where the football 545 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,880 Speaker 4: team had tailgates anymore, which is how it was when 546 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 4: I was in college. All Right, we got fantasy impact 547 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 4: to everything, including a trade of a defensive player. 548 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 5: Let's start with this. 549 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 4: We'll start with some of the Cowboys potentially who could 550 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 4: be in different types of games. What, in your mind, 551 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 4: rank is the impact on Dak Prescott of not having 552 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 4: Michah Parsons on the other side of the ball. 553 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 12: Yeah, we're anticipating the game sp script to switch for 554 00:26:58,040 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 12: the Dallas Cowboys. They could be in a lot of 555 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,919 Speaker 12: high scoring contest, similar to what happens with the Cincinnati 556 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 12: Bengals last year, where Joe Burrow and all those guys 557 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 12: were putting up prolific fantasy point totals. 558 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 7: And Dak Prescott has shown in the past. 559 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 12: The last time he played a full NFL season in 560 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 12: twenty twenty three, he had the most touchdown passes of 561 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 12: anybody that season, I expect because. 562 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 7: They will be in a lot of these high scoring games. 563 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 12: Dak Prescott is going to be one of the most 564 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 12: coveted quarterbacks in fantasy football. I see him approaching the 565 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 12: four hundred point total that Joe Burrow hit last season. 566 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 7: And it will also impact Ceede Lamb. 567 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 12: Now we know that Ceedee Lamb has also been a 568 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 12: very prolific fantasy player over the years. Two seasons ago, 569 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 12: he was the wide receiver one. Last season a little 570 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 12: bit of a disipployment. He was still the wide receiver eight, 571 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 12: but the numbers weren't as good, but part of that 572 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 12: was because of the injury concerns or the injury situation. 573 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 7: With Dak Prescott. 574 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 12: Now that Dak Prescott is healthy, he's going to be 575 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 12: out there putting up monster numbers once again. Where he 576 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,919 Speaker 12: go into this draft season saying Jamar Chase is the 577 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,719 Speaker 12: number one receiver in fantasy football, you can make a 578 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 12: really solid case that that guy is actually Cede Lamb 579 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 12: and I will be targeting him this weekend. And George 580 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,880 Speaker 12: Pickens and again not to be real lazy with these comparisons, 581 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 12: not trying to say, look, this is going to be 582 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 12: the t Higgins of this offense. But George Pickens comes 583 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 12: into a situation where he's going to be a true 584 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 12: one be wide receiver for Cede Lamb. 585 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 7: The first time this has happened for the Dallas Cowboys. 586 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 12: Since say inexplicably traded away of Mariti Cooper, and now 587 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 12: George Pickens will go out there with some high end 588 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 12: wide receiver two potential. Again, we're expecting targets. They're moving 589 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 12: him around too. They're not just having them run nines 590 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 12: from the X spot. They're actually putting him in the 591 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 12: slot a little bit as well. There's gonna be tremendous 592 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 12: opportunity for George Pickens. 593 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 8: Okay, so that's the Cowboys impact. Obviously they lose Micah Parsons, 594 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 8: the Packers gain him. Take me through the fantasy impact 595 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 8: for parsons new team. 596 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 12: Well, obviously, if you're gonna be drafting a fantasy defense, 597 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 12: you can go with the Packers DST. But I'm looking 598 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 12: at the way their offense is going to be running 599 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 12: the ball this season. In particular, who is going to 600 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 12: be running the football, and that of course is Josh Jacobs, 601 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 12: who last season was a pretty effective runner. He battled 602 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 12: through some injuries, but still in his game by game 603 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 12: production was very good. And again looking at game script, 604 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 12: if the Green Bay Packers are going to be in 605 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 12: a lot of contests where they are up running the 606 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 12: ball at the end of those games, Josh Jacobs could 607 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 12: be in line for some bonus points, some bonus yarded, 608 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 12: some bonus carries. So Josh Jacob is going far too 609 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 12: low in your fantasy drafts. 610 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 7: I know. 611 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 12: I say this as somebody who supports the Chicago Bears. 612 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 12: Josh Jacobs is being slept on way too much. 613 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 4: Josh Jacobs aka my third round keeper that Rank recommended 614 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 4: I do even before we had this news fully confirmed. 615 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 4: That's why Rank is the best. Thanks a lot, Buddy 616 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 4: for being here. As always a lot more to come 617 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 4: on the Insiders and Glenn to look ahead to the 618 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 4: second game of the NFL season. It'll be the Chargers 619 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 4: and the Chiefs in Brazil. Our Obar Ruiz will be there, 620 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 4: but first he will be here to break down what 621 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 4: could be a really important game for the fate of 622 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 4: the AFC West. 623 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 9: On Friday, September fifth, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City 624 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 9: Chiefs take on Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers 625 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 9: in South Powo, Brazil.

I 631 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 13: think if you if you said you're being honored to 632 00:30:55,200 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 13: actually do this because you're doing well, and that the 633 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,719 Speaker 13: way you approach it. It's an honor to have an 634 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 13: overseas game and to be able to go to Brazil 635 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 13: and then as opposed, Oh my gosh, what are we? 636 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 13: What are they giving us? You know, that attitude didn't 637 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 13: get you anywhere. So we'll try to keep the times consistent. 638 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 13: There's only a two hour difference, so we should be 639 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 13: able to keep things, you know, relatively consistent going forward. 640 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 9: Now, here's our Omar Ruiz, who's also making the trip 641 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 9: to South Paolo, who'll be there next week for us. 642 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 9: All right, Omar, tell us, how are the Chiefs preparing 643 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 9: for this game? 644 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 14: Well, you know, Andy Reid and the Chiefs have been 645 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 14: in the spotlight more than any other team in the 646 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 14: NFL the last several years, and they've played on every 647 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 14: day of the week, seemingly every major holiday, all times 648 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 14: during the day. 649 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 5: But Andy Reid trying. 650 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 14: To keep that schedule as close to a normal week 651 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 14: as possible. He was saying that today is like a Monday, 652 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 14: Tomorrow will be like a Tuesday, and then Sunday, Monday, 653 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 14: Tuesday would be like a normal Wednesday, Thursday Friday work week, 654 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 14: and then Wednesdays their travel day. He said, they're going 655 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 14: to hand that one over to the airlines, and then Thursday, 656 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 14: the day before the game, will be their walk through 657 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 14: down in Brazil, and then of course play the game 658 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 14: on Friday. Ass coach Reid earlier today, what's it like 659 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 14: managing the player's emotions for all these huge games that 660 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 14: they've played in over the years, and playing in all 661 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 14: these huge international stages, And he said, yeah, he knows 662 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 14: the jitters will be going, they'll be excited to play, 663 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 14: but he said one of the things that they have 664 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 14: to manage even more is what to expect from the 665 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 14: crowd in that they don't know what to expect. He said, 666 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 14: they'll have silent counts ready, to have normal cadences ready. 667 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 14: They could see loud crowd throughout on both sides of 668 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 14: the ball, so they'll be prepared for every different type 669 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 14: of crowd they can see and what sort of noise they'll. 670 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 5: Have to adjust to. 671 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 14: And that's something the details that they're focusing on throughout 672 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 14: the week this week, Judy. 673 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 9: For the Chargers, this would certainly seem like an opportunity 674 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 9: to make a statement against their division rival, against the 675 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 9: perennial AFC champion, But to the Chargers. 676 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 14: View it that way, well, they've lost seven straight in 677 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 14: this rivalry and I asked linebacker Dan Henley if they 678 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 14: see this as a measuring stick type of game, and 679 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 14: he said no. 680 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 5: He said, they want to go out. 681 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 14: They want to establish their identity, all that physicality. They 682 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 14: want to run the football, they want to stop the run, 683 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 14: they want to limit explosive plays on defense. But they 684 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 14: want to play their brand of football and they want 685 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 14: to establish that from week one. They don't want to 686 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 14: use another team to manage how they're going to feel 687 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 14: about their team this season, especially coming after just one week. 688 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 14: In terms of their preparation, Joe Alt told me that 689 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 14: he played when he was at Notre Dame over in Ireland, 690 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 14: so has that international game experience.
