I ain't a big Tom Brady fan, 54 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: but I am a guy that knows what he's went 55 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: through to get there. There's scrutiny that he takes to 56 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: get there, and I'm just loving it. I'm loving the 57 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: two matchups out of there. Yeah, I talked a little 58 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 1: bit before we went on the air. I thought Jacksonville 59 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: had this game. It was twenty to ten. They recovered 60 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: that fumble and in New England territory, and you just 61 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: you can't count out the Patriots Well, the thing about 62 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 1: it is when we we we we was here and 63 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: we all walked there and said, man, it's Kansas City 64 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: that good, it's New England that bad. Well we found 65 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: out the Kansa City wasn't that good. In New England 66 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: is much better than they And they looked that night 67 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: because they it was two or three games before it 68 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: took coach Patricia, that's the Devens a coordinator. It took 69 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: him two or three games to get guys to understand, Hey, 70 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: you you know they got a great guy from Buffalo, 71 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: they got another guy from this play. Hey, this is 72 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: how we play Patriot ball. This is what we do. 73 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: And they was finding everybody rolls and as the season 74 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: rolled on, he would here once again. You know, once 75 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: guy's brought into the Patriot. Wow. Yeah, the way they 76 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: do things so unique. Players know their roles, cherish their roles. 77 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: Coaches don't try to ask them to be more than 78 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: what they are. Uh, you do what you do and 79 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: you do it well, we'll ask you to rally to 80 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: the rest. We'll ask you to you know, if you 81 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: if you're a great run stopper and you get caught 82 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 1: in the pass pass rush situation, we just ask you 83 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: to do your best. But when it's when it's obvious 84 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: run down, we need for you to do your job. 85 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: So that's where they're at. Man uh A Mondola hats 86 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: all to him, I mean, and man, the the it's you. 87 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: It's your When you look at teams and you see 88 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: the execution of who they are and how they handle things, 89 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: you know, it's when game is when the Patriots play. 90 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 1: I don't cheer. I watched the game. I try to 91 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: break down the game, because this is gonna be a point, 92 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: you know, like you said, when they when when that 93 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: dude ripped that fumble out, when they threw that ball 94 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: back across the fair and he ripped that fumble out. 95 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 1: I looked at my wife, I said, a better score? Yea, 96 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: my wife, I said. She just looked at me. You know, 97 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: she fighting the flu or whatever, and she looked at me. 98 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: I said, ay, better score. If they don't, this could 99 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: be the play that breaks their back. She looked at 100 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: you through her over the counter medication because the day 101 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: she went to the to the dock and they then 102 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: gave him some medicine costs eight hundred bucks. The two pills. 103 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: They what's up, Mike, come on on the show, Mike, 104 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: who's out there? Oh, Mike, I can't think of Mike. 105 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 1: Last name Marshall, Yeah, Mike Marsha, Yeah yeah. I mean, 106 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: if you look at the stats from that Jaguars Patriots game, 107 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: it was almost identical. If anything was in the Jaguars favor, 108 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: the same amount of first downs, better third down officiary 109 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: efficiency for Jaguars, had more net yards they rushed for 110 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: one hundred yards only forty six for Patriots dominated at 111 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: the time of possession thirty five minutes to twenty four. 112 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 1: The Jaguars dominated thirty five twenty four. And then you had, 113 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: you know, the quarterbacks were basically the same. Bordles through 114 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: for two hundred ninety three yards, one touchdown, zero interceptions, 115 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 1: Brady through for two hundred and ninety yards, two touchdowns 116 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: and no interceptions. So statistically you'd look at it and 117 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: think one score touchdown, yeah, or should have won that yeah, 118 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: one score touchdowns and made the big, big plays when 119 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: they really really needed to do it. So maybe that's too. 120 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: This is Jacksonville's first time there and Patriots of the 121 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: experience of being in that kind of situation, I don't 122 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 1: I don't know, you had opportunities to make plays, and 123 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: you made plays. They made plays. But when you when 124 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: it's coming down to the wire, when it's coming down 125 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: to two minutes left, three minutes left, you get inside 126 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: that four minute mark, It's all about the execution, execution. 127 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: It's all about you had the ball and you had 128 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: opportunity to take this game. What did you do with it? 129 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: You didn't do nothing. You gave it back. There was 130 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: something to cowboys struggled with this year. Yeah, right before 131 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: the half you had it. You gave it back. What 132 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: did they do? March right on nine now and got 133 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: them three points? Yeah? So I tell people what they 134 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: you know, see, when it comes to playoff time, I 135 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: don't need your excuses, you know, I really don't. You know, like, hey, 136 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: what they they only had one one penalty for ten yards. 137 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: You weren't screaming that when it was twenty ten. Yep, 138 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: that's for sure. Now, I ain't hear nobody tweeting hey man, 139 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: it ain't got the five. But no, you only holler 140 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: that when they win, right, So I respect winning and 141 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: all else. I don't want to hear it. You know, 142 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: during the season, you hear me mong man, the refs, 143 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: God and you believe the refs man. Please, now it's 144 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: time to ball out. It's time to make some plays. 145 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: And that you knock, you knock out. Uh the grunk, 146 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: you knock him out of the game. Okay, So now 147 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: they take rams and put him on your and it 148 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: took them a long time to figure that out. You 149 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: put them on your speed receivers too late, you know, 150 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: because my man was going in the first half. The 151 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: end of the second half, I mean end of the 152 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 1: second quarter, all the way through the I can have 153 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: big big grunt was gone. Many whoa what are you 154 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: doing putting this guy on your best receiving, which was 155 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: at that time was Cooks.

So and and and you'll tell how many 157 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: penalties you know, because he got a Ramsey got a 158 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: big penalty on him to help him go down the score. 159 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: Uh that was the same time. Was that the same time? No? No, 160 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: that wasn't the same time that he knocked that grunt, 161 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: because grunt was going in the first half. Right at 162 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: the end of the second half, and when they had 163 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: two big yeah drive two big penalties.

Right. Yeah, So, if you're a Jacksonville Jaguar fan, 170 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: you go back and look at the plays. Don't look 171 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: at the plays the Patriots made. Look at the players 172 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: where Jacksonville Jaguars didn't make right where it could have 173 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: changed the game. Jack had that ball, brother took it 174 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: out of his hands. You in great scoring position. What 175 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: did you do with that one? Deal? Come on now, 176 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: come on now, And I'll say this time and time again. 177 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: The Patriots have been down in four playoffs games recently, 178 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: including the Super Bowl. The only way you get back 179 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: in that game you have to play one thing real well, right, 180 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 1: that's defense. And I keep if you want to survive 181 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: in the playoffs and you want to go that next 182 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 1: step further, your situation or defense or your transition defense, 183 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: which I call big play defense where a big players 184 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: have to get to put you on defense. Our big 185 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: playoffs happened to your defense. Now, how do you transition? 186 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: Do you stop them? Do you hold them? To three 187 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: or do you get a three and out or whatever 188 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: it takes to get off the field. That is. Those 189 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: are the teams that's left right what you had the 190 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 1: number one ranked defense, number two ranked defense, fourth, and 191 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: I think like eight or something. Yeah, all these I 192 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: will get. I will get into it next year. If 193 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: I'm here. You'll hear me say, Kurt, you heard me 194 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: said at the end of last year. You ain't got 195 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: no defense, right, you can't advance in the playoffs. You 196 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: can get to the playoffs, and yeah, if you got 197 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: if you got what Atlanta had last year, even though 198 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: the defense turned it on the last two or three 199 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: games when they went to the Super Bowl. If you 200 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: don't have a defense, you're not advancing it. You're not advancing. 201 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 1: We know the Cowboys are kind of middle of the 202 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: road in their defense, and that's what's hurting. Can they 203 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: make the next step simply through the draft or they're 204 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: gonna have to get bring in some free agent types. 205 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: I think that guys got to stay healthy. I think 206 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: that guys, uh gotta gotta play right and go get 207 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: your stud whether it's a linebacker, whether it's a safety, 208 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: whether it's a corner, whether it's a defense event, go 209 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: get your stud and free agency or the draft, free agency, 210 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: drafted on matter Bay. You know, Earl Thomas wants to come, 211 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 1: you know, go get your stud somebody that can can 212 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 1: make a play when they when see that, and I 213 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: keep going back to the Patriots double tricking and threw 214 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: and threw back across the field, you know what I'm saying. 215 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: And right then you're like, oh, but Jack's Jack came 216 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: up with that ball, right, he gave them the biggest 217 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: opportunity in the world to say, Okay, we can shut 218 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: this out, we can make it even tougher. And they didn't. 219 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: The offense didn't. Do you think that It seems like 220 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are trying to spend big money on Zach Martin. 221 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: They want to extend him. Would you rather see that 222 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: money go to a big name defensive fridge. Well, the 223 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,559 Speaker 1: thing about it is he can play his fifth year, right, 224 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 1: he got this fifth year coming up, and towards the 225 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 1: end of this fifth year, depending on what happened, you 226 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: just you just extend him, you know. Now, I'm not 227 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: a capologist. I can't tell you. I know we're still 228 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: holding on Summer Tony money. We got other dead money. 229 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 1: You know, all of these teams that like the Saints, 230 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: they they had just this fast year or a year before, 231 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: got rid of all of that dead money. You see, Cleveland, 232 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: I ain't got no dead money, so real bad. Yeah yeah, 233 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: but you can grow. Yeah, you ain't got no dead 234 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: money or no money that you spending towards guys. And 235 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: you got that big window of opportunity because you have 236 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: a bunch of young guys. The thing about it is, 237 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: I'm listening to the announcers. What's you kind of guy? 238 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: The core of the team coming back this year in Philadelphia? Yeah, 239 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: it's scary. That's what worries man jump into that game. 240 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: That scares me. Philadelphia is gonna be tough for a 241 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: few years now. You you you know who the players 242 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: are because they have played. Now, you don't let them 243 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: get away, right, you know, you bring in key guys. 244 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: It's all about health, but it's all about what who's 245 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: the core of your team? And I'm a firm believe 246 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: that I don't care about the quarterback like everybody else do. 247 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: I care about if we got a first, second and 248 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: third round pick, don't mess with that quarterback until you 249 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: get that first second and third round pick at other 250 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: positions in place in going. You know, if you're just 251 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: so bad like Cleveland has been every year, they they can't. 252 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: They can look back and it's six quarterbacks. It's like, wow, 253 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: we don't let six. There was no point after the 254 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: quarterback because they didn't have the But no, they but 255 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: if a quarterbacks there, you have to take them. And 256 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: then that made all to how you build. But if 257 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: a quarterback's not there, you you take what's there. You 258 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: you don't reach. You don't have to. It's enough good 259 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: college players come out every year that you don't have 260 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: to reach. Right now, I don't I don't know the 261 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: whole makeup of the Eagles roster, but it seems like 262 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: this past year especially, they did real well in free agency. 263 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: The guy who got locked out of the office when 264 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: the other coach was there, Oregon coach, And when Chip 265 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: Keller was there, they locked the other guy out. They 266 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: moved him to the other I'm sure, to the other 267 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: end of the company. Hey man, we're taking your office 268 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: because Chip got your office out of They moved him away, 269 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: and as soon as Chip left, they moved him back 270 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: in and he went to systematically fixing everything. Chip messed 271 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: up was too. Yeah, it was amazing how quickly they 272 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: turned the I guess they weren't that far off. They 273 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: had some of the pieces in place. Yes, but then 274 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: last past year, well, the past couple of drafts, and 275 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: this free agency class this year. We'll see what they 276 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: do if they win the Super Bowl or not, because 277 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: the free agency moves they made. We were saying the 278 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: same thing about the Giants last year that Okay, they've 279 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: secured their defense for the long run, and it looks 280 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: pretty good. And then the Giants come out and do 281 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: what they did this year. But the difference is they 282 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: got offensive line, and they got a defensive line, and 283 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: they got Outshawan Jeffers secure, They got agon Law secure. 284 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: The only guy that I don't know about the running 285 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: back a Jaii, but everybody else is secured into eighteen yeah, 286 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: and to eighteen. And they've got a young quarterback that 287 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: they don't have to worry about spending big. Yeah. So 288 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: they got to win the opportunity as way different than 289 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys at this time. Yeah, were you surprised? 290 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: I wasn't surprised Philly one, but I was surprised they 291 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: blew them out. Yeah, The blowout got me. You know, 292 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: as I told you, it's like Minnesota ran out of gas. Uh. 293 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: They It's like it took everything they had last week 294 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 1: to get to get past the Saints. And as this 295 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 1: game went on, you know, you know, just think a 296 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: week ago, hey Man past Sherman, gonna take case Keenum 297 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: with him to New York. Well now those same people 298 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: like hoping, I hope you do take it, you know, 299 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: because we don't want it, yea. So how quick the 300 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 1: things change. Turnovers played a big one in that game too, 301 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: the two interceptions, another fumble. I think they did. The 302 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 1: thing that people thought that they had the advantage was 303 00:17:55,480 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: at the cornerback position. They thought that Minnasota wide receivers 304 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: gonna have advantage on the corners. Excuse me, excuse me. 305 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: They made a slight adjustment. It's called don't bite on 306 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 1: double moves. And guess what they did what they had 307 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: to do. You know. So I saw last week, two 308 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: weeks ago, you know, and I was trying to tell 309 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: anybody that would listen. I said, Case Kenny even found 310 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: excuse me that Nick Foles has found his rhythm. Nick, 311 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: I wouldn't bet that. I ain't asking you to bet, 312 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: I'm just asking you to watch the game. And I 313 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: don't know if Troyden was calling the game or who 314 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: was calling the game two weeks ago, you know, but 315 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: they was like, hey, man, do you notice that Nick 316 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: Foless find his rhythm. They're doing the run pass option. 317 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: That is what he was good at with Chip Kelly 318 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 1: when he was very, very successful. That I like, I said, Peterson, 319 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: don't found him. I said, coach that I'm found him. 320 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden, he went from the 321 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: brun part run pass open, just sitting back, dropping back 322 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: boom Arts was was that's his blanket. So that's it. 323 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, now you find an ashean Jeffers. 324 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,640 Speaker 1: Everything's starting to open up. And I noticed that two 325 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: weeks ago. So this week here, I'm like, wow, you know, 326 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: we're doing the show with Moose Johnson and and Bill Jones, 327 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 1: and they're like, who you got? Who you got? And 328 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: I'm like, I gotta stick with the Zimmermans. That's who 329 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: the fighting Zimmermans. I've been going with them all year. 330 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: But I liked the Nick Foles as a quarterback better 331 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: than I like the case Keendom. Yeah, Nick Foles is 332 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: like you said, he's proving himself before it. Yeah, you 333 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: know I have I think what forty starts, you know, 334 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: and h third round pick and you know, I'm not 335 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: just kind of what Case Keenom did.

Enjoyed putting the pizza pieces of the 429 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 1: puzzle together? It is, it's actually enjoyable. Uh. Obviously are 430 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: doing a little self scouting and uh, you know, really 431 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: looking hard at where we are as a team, as 432 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: an organization and where we need to you know, the 433 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: changes you need to make to get to where you 434 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: want to be and obviously where we want to be 435 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: as playing football right now, and uh uh you know, 436 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 1: we have to take a long, hard look. We're obviously 437 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: right in the middle of our evaluating our staff and 438 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: we're making some changes there that we feel like we'll 439 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 1: make us better. And then at the same time, we're 440 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: getting ready to start really delving into uh you know, 441 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: giving ourselves a report card with our personnel, our players, 442 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 1: uh that type of thing. We've certainly uh you know, 443 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 1: really self scouted, how we how we coached them up 444 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: last year and uh the and the next step we'll 445 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: be looking at our personnel and seeing uh uh you know, 446 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: who we want to resign, who we want to keep, 447 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: and then of course, uh you know what acquisitions we 448 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: need to make in what areas. And also the most 449 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: important thing is getting prepared for the draft. Yeah. Yeah, 450 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: Now my question is I got two of them. They're 451 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: gonna be hard questions. That's good. It'll be hard. Now. 452 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 1: Every year will come up, Will McClay, every year he 453 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: comes up. I mean, what's for the one year contracts? Man? 454 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 1: Y'all have more they're not one year. Wow. Problem is 455 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: they're interviewing in for Jerry's job general man, so he 456 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: always has the right to take a look at that, 457 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 1: and uh, he knows what the situation is here, and 458 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: you know, Will's obviously somebody we have so much respect 459 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: for Jerry, myself, Jason and his staff obviously Will staff, 460 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: Uh you know, certainly, UH respects his leadership so much, 461 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, it's a it's a tribute to 462 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: him that he gets the looks to be a general 463 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: manager at other clubs. Uh. Certainly we've had that happen 464 00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: here with a guy like Jeff Ireland. At the same time, Uh, 465 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 1: he also knows, uh you know that it is a 466 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: good situation here, and you know, he gets to do 467 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: a lot of things that a lot of general managers 468 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: do get to do, but he does have to measure 469 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 1: the full thing. And hopefully we've come up with a 470 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 1: solution this time that at least Will Uh. I don't 471 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,679 Speaker 1: know that it'll keep his name from coming up, but 472 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 1: we won't be discussing it for quite some time internally, 473 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: so uh, but we feel great about Will. He's obviously 474 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: had a huge hand and our drafts uh, you know, 475 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,719 Speaker 1: the last uh multiple years, and certainly we feel like 476 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: we've drafted well. And uh, he and I are always 477 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: looking for ways Jerry Jason to improve to even find 478 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 1: better players. But we think we're headed in the right 479 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: direction when it comes to the draft, and uh, we 480 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,199 Speaker 1: just have to continue to work to be better because 481 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: obviously wasn't good enough this year. Now this is a 482 00:27:55,680 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: tough one. Now, his his production one what we thought 483 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 1: it would be. I mean, just fans and media alike. 484 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,919 Speaker 1: And the question I get everywhere I go, what's the 485 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: situation with Diz And give us as much as you 486 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 1: can give us about Diz and how you feel about 487 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: that situation. Sure, I think the uh, the Dez h 488 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 1: you know, Dez situation has a lot of moving parts 489 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 1: to it when you look at it. Uh. First of all, 490 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 1: the relationship between uh, the chemistry, not necessarily the friendship 491 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: or that type of relationship, but the football relationship between 492 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: Dak and and Dez is different, uh than Tony and Dees. 493 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: Tony uh certainly his game, they kind of tailored it 494 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: to one another. And then when Dak came in, he's 495 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: certainly not going to play the game exactly like Tony 496 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: played this game. And uh, you know, I think, uh 497 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: it hadn't ever just quite hit on all cylinders yet 498 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: in terms of how Dak and does the connection works. 499 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: I think it's a work in progress. I think it 500 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: could improve, uh if given the opportunity. And then, you know, 501 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: the other thing that we all see. It's certainly visible 502 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: to anyone who watches our games, watches our sideline as 503 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: does is certainly a fiery guy, plays with a lot 504 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: of emotion both on and off the field, and sometimes 505 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: that can be a distraction. It can be a distraction 506 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: for Daz, it can be a distraction for other teammates. 507 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: And we just have to, you know, really get our 508 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: hands around where when you put all the full body 509 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: of work together, where that's headed. And of course we 510 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: paid days a lot of money. And yes, he knows that, 511 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: he's aware of it as anybody when he talks to 512 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: Jerry and myself, and you know, he knows when you 513 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: get paid that kind of money, there's high expectations in 514 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: terms of the productivity, as you mentioned, and so those 515 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 1: are all things that we have to look at as 516 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: a team, as an organization when we start to put 517 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: our team together for next year. Jack Martin's another guy 518 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,719 Speaker 1: that we're talking about ending. He's obviously all pro Pro 519 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: Bowl player. Knowing he's sitting there does that change or 520 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: hamper what you want to do? Uh, you know, money 521 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: you have to spend, preventing you from maybe spending money 522 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: down I'm bringing somebody else in or resigning a guy 523 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: like Anthony Hitchins. Absolutely, I think you have to look 524 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 1: at the whole thing and you have to be honest 525 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: with yourself in terms of what it's really going to cost. Uh. 526 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: You know, to put Zake under contract for a long 527 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: period of time, which is certainly you know, probably is uh, 528 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 1: you know, right there at the very top, if not 529 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: the top priority for our team. Now you throw that in, 530 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: you throw the dazz numbers in, you throw what we've 531 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: got to look at for DeMarcus Lawrence, yes, who obviously 532 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: had an amazing year, stayed healthy, had great production, and 533 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: then you start to look at the pieces like a Hitchens. Uh. 534 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: You know. Then it's a puzzle that you have to 535 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 1: put together and you have to You only have so much, 536 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 1: you only have so many resources. And you know, the 537 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: good news is we're not the only team dealing with 538 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: the salary cap. Everybody else has to fit their players 539 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: under the exact same salary cap, under the exact same rules, 540 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 1: and we just have to really make us some tough decisions, 541 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 1: as we've had to do in the past. I mean, 542 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: you look up there yesterday and Barry Church is making 543 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: a lot of great plays. I mean, obviously, as good 544 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 1: as Barry is on the field, he's a better guy 545 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: off off the field. And you know, you hate to 546 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: lose guys like that. Everybody thinks, well, you made a 547 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: decision to do it. Unfortunately, with a salary cap you 548 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: can't keep everybody that you want to keep in an 549 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: open market. And Jacksonville had been, you know, toward the 550 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 1: bottom of the league, and they had a lot of 551 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: salary cap room. They're not playing, they're not coming off 552 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: a big Tony Romo contract, They're not coming off these things. 553 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 1: And you know, they were able to put together some 554 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: nice pieces this year and did a hell of a 555 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: job putting together a good football team. So you know, 556 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: those are all things that we have to measure up. 557 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: Just because we lose them doesn't mean we didn't want them. 558 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 1: Barry Church, we would love to have kept her. We 559 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: love Mo and Brandon Carr and but at some point 560 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: there you just got to make those tough decisions. Now 561 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: every year. I mean, it's one of my highlights man 562 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: seeing you and your pops come out to Mobile. Can 563 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: we expect to see you out to Mobile with the 564 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: coaching staff this year? Absolutely, we're headed that way this year. 565 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: I don't know how much of our coaching staff is 566 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: going to be there. Obviously, with Jason putting together some 567 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: new faces, he's trying to get the chemistry together. And then, 568 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 1: of course, because we have been so focused on our staff, 569 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,719 Speaker 1: we still have our personnel evaluations to come, and he 570 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: kind of we decided as an organization to wait until 571 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: we got the new guys in here. We you know, 572 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: pretty much have a good feel for what everybody feels 573 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 1: about our players that have been around all year, and 574 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: we wanted the new coaches, the new staff that are 575 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: going to be a part of Jason's staff going forward, 576 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 1: to be a part of our personnel meetings and evaluations. 577 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: So I think there's a question mark as to how 578 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: many are of our coaching staff is actually going to 579 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 1: travel to Mobile. Obviously, our tire scouting staff will be there, 580 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 1: will will be there, Jerry and myself will be there. 581 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: But we're looking forward to it, ready to turn the 582 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 1: next page. Paul Alexander, Bengals coach for years and years. 583 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: Is anybody else that we've brought in? Uh, well, we 584 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: brought in sign Jay Lyle. Okay, so we do have 585 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 1: receivers coach. He's all signed up and real close to 586 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: getting Kellen Moore Pennsylvania quarterback coach. Okay, and uh, certainly 587 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 1: you know it's in the news that that's a you know, 588 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 1: pretty likely that we'll lose Flues, right right, Wow, that 589 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 1: excume How important is he? Well, he's important. Yeah. At 590 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: the same time, you know, you have to respect guys 591 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 1: in their careers and where they are. I mean, they 592 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: said we got a great defensive coordinator and Rod Marrin, 593 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: yes we do. If he gets the opportunity to, you know, 594 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 1: have an unfettered coordinator job where he really you know, 595 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: gets to put in his own system, then that's intriguing 596 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 1: to men ye want to further their careers. Not that 597 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 1: he doesn't have the utmost respect for for Ride and 598 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 1: what he's about, but when you go to work for 599 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,359 Speaker 1: an offensive minded head coach who's going to be out 600 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,439 Speaker 1: of your business, then uh, you know he's gonna kind 601 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 1: of be unfettered in terms of being able to really 602 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,919 Speaker 1: not that he doesn't agree with all the things Ride does. 603 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,399 Speaker 1: But ever individual, if given the right to make every 604 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,839 Speaker 1: decision the way he wants to do it, is going 605 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: to maybe do it a little different, and he may 606 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: think that it may even work a little better. Who knows, 607 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 1: but that remains to be seen. Certainly, respect that we 608 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 1: wanted U Matt back, would have had him back in 609 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 1: a heartbeat, But we also understand what his opportunities are, 610 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 1: and so we're interviewing some people, uh you know that 611 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 1: for that passing coordinator position. Whether that passing coordinator will 612 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 1: be a defensive back coach of course, or a linebacker coach. 613 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,439 Speaker 1: Then we'll just have to see what his strengths are 614 00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: in terms of where he coaches, and then where we 615 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 1: fill in out after that. It's great, Well, I appreciate 616 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 1: you knocking out some of these football questions before you go. 617 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: I'd love to get some thoughts. Our last show, we 618 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 1: did kind of recap with some of the ninety two season, 619 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl run. Couldn't let it go? Could I 620 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: couldn't let it go? Some here memories of that super 621 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 1: Bowl twenty seven, that first one, you were what only 622 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,799 Speaker 1: twenty eight or so? I was young twenty eight. They 623 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 1: got made a bit closer to twenty five. But uh, 624 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 1: it was obviously uh special. I mean, you know, looking 625 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: back on it, Uh, you probably did take it for 626 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: granted a little bit because we hadn't been in the 627 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,360 Speaker 1: league that long and we had so much good fortune 628 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,919 Speaker 1: come out of so early. Uh you know, between having 629 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: great players like Troy Aikman, Yes Smith and Michael Irvin 630 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:49,719 Speaker 1: and Charles Haley and a Kenny Norton, and we had 631 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,759 Speaker 1: some stuff, went out and got some foods. Man, you 632 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 1: know that offensive line was stout. Yeah. They used to 633 00:35:55,800 --> 00:36:00,040 Speaker 1: tell us back then, they said, y'all weren't necessarily the 634 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 1: the demons a scheme. I think everybody knew y'all were coming, 635 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: they just couldn't do anything about it. Yes, so I 636 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,800 Speaker 1: think were they could point to where Emmett was coming 637 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 1: and they still couldn't stop y'all. Y'all block them up 638 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 1: and he'd get the yards. But uh, you know it 639 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,719 Speaker 1: was special and uh to take that uh you know, 640 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 1: we went to the top in terms of getting a 641 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 1: Super Bowl of Lombardi Trophy and having that really be 642 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 1: the springboard for what at that time was you know, 643 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 1: the team of the nineties in terms of what we 644 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: accomplished and could have easily. Uh there that one year 645 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,360 Speaker 1: where we had a tough one in San Francisco, Michael 646 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,319 Speaker 1: and Dion battling it out of it. Yeah, and it 647 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: gets to each other. Yes, it was a you know, 648 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:47,399 Speaker 1: obviously a great run. And now it's been way too long. 649 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,319 Speaker 1: We look up here and we're way to pass due 650 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: in terms of the way we look at it. And uh, 651 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 1: certainly Jerry enjoyed getting in that Hall of Fame, but 652 00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,320 Speaker 1: I think I saw several times where he was quoted 653 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,920 Speaker 1: he had given up that Hall of Fame for another 654 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: Lombardi Trophy. He had taken that the other order. Let's 655 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,319 Speaker 1: get the Lombardi Trophy and then if the Super Bowl, 656 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,399 Speaker 1: I mean, if the Hall of Fame happens, then it does. 657 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:14,280 Speaker 1: But you know, just so special when you win those championships, 658 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,919 Speaker 1: and you can't ever take for granted the great men 659 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 1: that were involved. Obviously, Jimmy Johnson was a great coach. 660 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,239 Speaker 1: I had a great staff. Jimmy did there with the 661 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,120 Speaker 1: one Stats of the World and the North Turners, and 662 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 1: and then of course just the great talent that we 663 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 1: had on that football team, as we mentioned earlier, and 664 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,879 Speaker 1: guys who were all pros and ultimately several of them 665 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,239 Speaker 1: Hall of Famers. So you know, it's just a great 666 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,280 Speaker 1: experience to look back on and still makes you smile 667 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,360 Speaker 1: when you when you think about that, but it also 668 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,399 Speaker 1: motivates you, makes you want to go to work, and 669 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:48,879 Speaker 1: that more driven. Even though we didn't get it done 670 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,400 Speaker 1: this year, we're more driven than ever to get the 671 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,360 Speaker 1: Cowboys back to a Super Bowl. Great, well, we didn't 672 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 1: just a small coach. How long will it be for 673 00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,360 Speaker 1: we just get our staff completed. It should be close, 674 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,080 Speaker 1: it should be close. I see it getting completed here. 675 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,239 Speaker 1: You know, inside of the next week to ten days, 676 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 1: I could see it all put to bed and they're 677 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,719 Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and start. We've got a big part 678 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 1: of it done. I think we'll have a few more 679 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: announcements here this week, the first part of this week, 680 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 1: and that'll be some of the heavy lifting. We might 681 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,959 Speaker 1: have a coach or two we still got to figure out, 682 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,319 Speaker 1: but for the most part, they can get to work. 683 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,319 Speaker 1: They can go to work on their evaluations. I know 684 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 1: Will and the scouts have already done theirs, and we 685 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 1: can really get in and grind out what our what 686 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 1: our plan is, what our master plan is for the 687 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,479 Speaker 1: off season and how we're going to get that done, 688 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:44,359 Speaker 1: whether it's free agency, the draft, trades, you know, player acquisitions, 689 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty five days a year and a 690 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 1: lot of ways to do it. We still believe that 691 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,320 Speaker 1: the draft is key, especially when you've got great players 692 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 1: on your team. We feel like we do. You can't 693 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 1: just go out there and spend frivolously when you want 694 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 1: to sign your own guys. So that's always a challenge, 695 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:02,839 Speaker 1: but we're looking forward to it. We're up for it. 696 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:04,879 Speaker 1: I bet through all of this it was more nerve 697 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:08,359 Speaker 1: wracking watching John Stevens in the state championship than it was. Well, 698 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 1: it was special to say the least. And Uh, I 699 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 1: read somewhere and said, well, maybe we just need to 700 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,239 Speaker 1: hold our breath and get John Stephen up here because 701 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:22,080 Speaker 1: he knows how to win it.

Yeah, he didn't show away from it, and 765 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 1: he went straight ahead and into it like a Jones would. 766 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:45,799 Speaker 1: Do you know everywhere you go man, when you go 767 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 1: to stopping to Davas Cowboys. The first thing you hear 768 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 1: is the dead situation, you know, because a lot of 769 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 1: a lot of include my seven, we expected bigger things. 770 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,880 Speaker 1: We really expected coming out of training camp that the 771 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,719 Speaker 1: numbers would be a little bit bigger, you know, not much, 772 00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 1: I mean twelve hundred yards maybe, you know, nine ten touchdowns. 773 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:08,240 Speaker 1: You know, that's just what we've accustomed to a healthy dads. 774 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:09,920 Speaker 1: And then when we didn't see that with like, oh 775 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 1: my god, is he we don't know if he's falling 776 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: off because a lot of people thought Alshan Jeffers was 777 00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,759 Speaker 1: the same age as dads like Ashan Jeffers ain't what 778 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 1: it used to be. But Ashan Jeffers, he's been lightened 779 00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,400 Speaker 1: up playoffs, you know what I'm saying. So with with 780 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:31,120 Speaker 1: with Wentz and with uh Nick Vols. So we'll see 781 00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,640 Speaker 1: I mean factors, and he made it sound like there's 782 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,319 Speaker 1: a lot of factors considering. Yeah, the biggest one being 783 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:42,239 Speaker 1: I think can he find that action with that that through? 784 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,840 Speaker 1: And I'm glad we got to receive his coach because 785 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:50,400 Speaker 1: you know, this is a big year. You know, you 786 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,640 Speaker 1: don't want we've been down a year up, a year down, 787 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,160 Speaker 1: a year upper, year down, and you don't want that. 788 00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,960 Speaker 1: And I don't care what the record says. You can 789 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,800 Speaker 1: be ten and six and if you don't make the playoffs, 790 00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,799 Speaker 1: that's that's not a year that you're looking forward to. 791 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 1: That's not an obviousason you're looking forward to now, you know. 792 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 1: Being on the realistic side, he said, Okay, we can 793 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,360 Speaker 1: grow from this. That me ten and six. You know, 794 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,319 Speaker 1: I guess nine and seven you can say the same thing. 795 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:19,400 Speaker 1: But we need to impact the league. Like he like 796 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:23,120 Speaker 1: Missus Jones has been far too long. We have impacted 797 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,000 Speaker 1: the league. And I'm talking about a year out the year. 798 00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 1: Get your window two or three years where you impact 799 00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,680 Speaker 1: the league, right. I have to admit the coaching situation 800 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,760 Speaker 1: worries me. I mean, there's at least seven guys they're 801 00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:38,279 Speaker 1: having to replace, and they still don't have a quarterbacks guy. 802 00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,840 Speaker 1: Although first time I heard he said there's close to 803 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,480 Speaker 1: signing Kellen Moore. I know he'd been talked about, but 804 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,640 Speaker 1: that seems to be the direction they're going. They still 805 00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,920 Speaker 1: don't have a tight ends coach said, don't believe they 806 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,880 Speaker 1: don't have a linebackers coach for the passing game coordinator. 807 00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,200 Speaker 1: They don't have another secondary guy. Yeah, but he's say 808 00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 1: about it. You know, entered this week. I hope have 809 00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,640 Speaker 1: a lot of let now they're going there. You know 810 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:04,799 Speaker 1: most of the scouting staffs are at the senior They're 811 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:06,520 Speaker 1: not here to evaluate and getting in the flow of 812 00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:14,680 Speaker 1: what they need. Right. But no, the thing is if 813 00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,120 Speaker 1: they if they trust the scouts know what you want. 814 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:20,680 Speaker 1: It's been three years now. A receiver's coaching made like 815 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,560 Speaker 1: something a little bit different, but he stucked. This receiver's 816 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 1: coach is stuck at least for this year, of who 817 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,000 Speaker 1: he has as long as the coordinators are there, it 818 00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:34,719 Speaker 1: doesn't Yeah. Yeah, and so the running back coach he 819 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,920 Speaker 1: is who he is. I mean so, but but my 820 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,880 Speaker 1: big question men you're on the same page is we 821 00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:49,080 Speaker 1: have to get linebacker slash dB coach slash passing coordinator 822 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:50,920 Speaker 1: in here as quick as possile. That's why I say, 823 00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:52,840 Speaker 1: hold on a minute, how long will it be before 824 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:57,600 Speaker 1: we get because uh ebral Fluce was was was it 825 00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,719 Speaker 1: for us? He did a lot of things and we 826 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:05,600 Speaker 1: don't want to be spelling with young guys from Anthony 827 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:10,600 Speaker 1: Brown all the way to Lewis to uh cheetah bay 828 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:14,920 Speaker 1: or cheetah boo Orudobe. I mean, I mean, these are 829 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,520 Speaker 1: young guys that need to be playing, need to have 830 00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,239 Speaker 1: be putting in place what they need to get done. 831 00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,960 Speaker 1: And we got coach Jackson, but he coached the safeties. 832 00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,719 Speaker 1: We know we need our new cornerbacks coaching here and 833 00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:33,239 Speaker 1: getting his getting his situation because everybody knows coach the same, 834 00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:38,480 Speaker 1: you know so and and and even though coach Marinelli 835 00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:42,799 Speaker 1: already got his passing defense in place, it's still some 836 00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:46,640 Speaker 1: little things within that, some nuances within that that this 837 00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:51,280 Speaker 1: new coach may change. The linebacker coach are our defensive 838 00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,280 Speaker 1: back coach. The team has never changed as many coaches 839 00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,480 Speaker 1: in one year. This is the most, and the second 840 00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:01,279 Speaker 1: most was in two thousand and two. Yeah, Campo and 841 00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:03,000 Speaker 1: they went five and eleven. Of course the team was 842 00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:04,680 Speaker 1: a lot nearer to it was good, but that was 843 00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,200 Speaker 1: turned out to be Campos last year. So I know this. 844 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,759 Speaker 1: This worries me. Is there any you talk about the 845 00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:15,920 Speaker 1: coaches and getting used to their players and communicating how 846 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,480 Speaker 1: they teaching that? Is there any with coaches among themselves 847 00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,879 Speaker 1: and you have new coaches, you have seven new guys 848 00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,960 Speaker 1: at least coming in. Everybody ain'tta like each other? Yeah, 849 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,160 Speaker 1: is that going to everybody get along. He's just that 850 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,080 Speaker 1: gonna take a while to get on this. Nah nah, 851 00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:34,240 Speaker 1: because like you said, we the Deven's coordinated didn't change. 852 00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,560 Speaker 1: So and we still had a depensive line coach since 853 00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,920 Speaker 1: Devens line coach leon Let So we see it got 854 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:47,320 Speaker 1: coach Jackson over the Safeties. So the turnover, the learning 855 00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,640 Speaker 1: curve would be swift, you know, the learning curve would 856 00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:52,600 Speaker 1: be swift for what they want. And a lot of 857 00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:56,239 Speaker 1: things are not different. It's just a terminologist, you know. 858 00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:58,799 Speaker 1: One coach may say cover to other coach. You may 859 00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,279 Speaker 1: say this or that. You know, so it's just a 860 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:07,160 Speaker 1: little things changed like that. But we don't need our 861 00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:12,959 Speaker 1: young guys taking a step back, yes kind of, yeah, yeah, 862 00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:16,200 Speaker 1: we got the we got we got to forage forward. 863 00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:20,239 Speaker 1: We got to go if if the Cowboys are to 864 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:26,799 Speaker 1: make an impact versus the NFL, you can't take a 865 00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:32,360 Speaker 1: step back that ship. We took a step back, right right. Well, 866 00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,120 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's it's it all kind of. I 867 00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:40,640 Speaker 1: guess I'm being skeptical about what's ahead and what they 868 00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:43,800 Speaker 1: have to do. Um and it starts with the coaches 869 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:47,200 Speaker 1: because to me, maybe I'm wrong I'm just worried that 870 00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:51,000 Speaker 1: there's so much change happening here. It's gonna delay what 871 00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:55,360 Speaker 1: happens down as long as you got a core foundation 872 00:48:55,440 --> 00:49:00,719 Speaker 1: in place, I'm with you. The new coaches that we have, 873 00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:02,440 Speaker 1: are we bringing them in here and they're gonna be 874 00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:04,640 Speaker 1: like the old coaches? You should have kept them if 875 00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:06,719 Speaker 1: it's gonna have some fresh ideas that can be a 876 00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:10,960 Speaker 1: positive impact to your team. Okay, right, moves to make 877 00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,600 Speaker 1: if you're willing to listen, Like, hey man, I saw 878 00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:15,360 Speaker 1: I saw a film where we did this. Are you 879 00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,600 Speaker 1: willing to try this, you know, to see how it 880 00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:23,839 Speaker 1: works out. You know, some fresh ideas, you know, but 881 00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:29,800 Speaker 1: our wide receivers gotta be better? Yeah, okay, it's changing. 882 00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:31,960 Speaker 1: The coach is gonna bring that. Is it gonna be 883 00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,520 Speaker 1: that a player learns to be smarter and play harder? 884 00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,600 Speaker 1: We never know until the season start the impact that 885 00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,240 Speaker 1: what these guys are gonna have, barring injury. It's always 886 00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:46,920 Speaker 1: barring injury. But uh as the linebacker's gonna be as 887 00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,880 Speaker 1: good as they was last year? Are they gonna stay healthy? 888 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,279 Speaker 1: You know, we never know. You think you've got Zeke 889 00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:58,600 Speaker 1: for sixteen games, so should help well, Tyron Smith for 890 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:02,000 Speaker 1: sixteen games at I mean, this has gone from you know, 891 00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:06,520 Speaker 1: when Romo was here playing, he was the player that 892 00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,719 Speaker 1: made everybody around him better. Now Zeke is that guy. 893 00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,920 Speaker 1: So having him for sixteen games, barring injury, it seems 894 00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:16,880 Speaker 1: like that's going to be crucial, you know what. And 895 00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:20,600 Speaker 1: we need five defense to just go up a level. 896 00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:24,239 Speaker 1: And I'm serious if you if you want to go, 897 00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:26,480 Speaker 1: if you want to make some noise in the playoffs, 898 00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:29,759 Speaker 1: you gotta be able to be that guy that can 899 00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:34,040 Speaker 1: make that one play like Jack did yesterday. He made 900 00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:37,239 Speaker 1: that one play, but New England came back and he 901 00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:41,240 Speaker 1: made four better. You know what I'm saying, four plays 902 00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,400 Speaker 1: and you out, yeah, you know what I'm saying. Well, 903 00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:47,560 Speaker 1: I guess Stephen said that some other coaching stuff would 904 00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,040 Speaker 1: be going to the Senior boyd as soon. Marini, Marinelli 905 00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:52,080 Speaker 1: and Lenahan have to be going, right, they gotta be. 906 00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:54,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. You could be Leon 907 00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,400 Speaker 1: Lett because he's been here a while. Could be Jackson 908 00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,920 Speaker 1: because he's been here a while. And let your core 909 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,239 Speaker 1: natives worked with the new guys, you know, the new 910 00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,600 Speaker 1: guys that bring me in.
