Lowell still in the building. Those two 196 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: names are massive, especially considering you lost Al Harris to 197 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears. 198 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 4: How do we anti clap?

And I spoke with Al and it 204 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 1: is obviously not just to move up in title, but 205 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: he'll have a little bit more responsibility than even with 206 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: the title dictates. But keep in mind he wasn't able 207 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: to technically coordinate cord anything here in Dallas, So now 208 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,599 Speaker 1: he gets to do that there, which gives him the 209 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,079 Speaker 1: step towards defensive, which then gives him the step to 210 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: becoming a head coach. So shouts out to l Harris 211 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: go up there and kick some buns. Assistant wide receivers 212 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: coach were still looking for the primary wide receivers coach 213 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: lost Robert Prince to the Miami Dolphins.

Hell, just 216 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: yesterday we had some more so, but we do have 217 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: a reported interview Taekwan Underwood, formerly of the New England Patriots, 218 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: as the assistant white receivers coach. We'll see if that lands, 219 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: but the expectation is that it will keep an eye. 220 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 5: On that best hair and coaching staff. Yeah, you would 221 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 5: easily win the best. 222 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:00,839 Speaker 4: Yeah, we be. 223 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 8: So how can you hire an assistant before having before. 224 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: Having lists unless you know who's going to who's going 225 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: to be and we just don't know yet we uh huh. 226 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 4: So there you go. 227 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: As we talked about on the show before when people 228 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: were arguing front runners, how do you know what. 229 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 4: Is the front runner? 230 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 7: Because the super coach would be the one who would 231 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 7: most likely most likely who's working alongside him. Right, Sometimes 232 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 7: I would imagine, yea, if I'm gonna be working. 233 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 5: Unless you're I don't know, offensive coordinator has a really 234 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 5: good grasp on what he wants to do. Fair No, 235 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 5: I'm not here to judge. 236 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 4: That would be kind of a weird. 237 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,319 Speaker 3: Like you're an assistant, but we know where you're not 238 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 3: ready to be an actual. 239 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 1: Wide receivers coach. 240 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 7: So here's the I would think that their main receiver 241 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 7: coach would have a say in who's going to be 242 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 7: his assistant. 243 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: It's possible that. 244 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 5: We got Willbi play man. 245 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 4: What are you worried about. 246 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 5: What are you worried about? 247 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: You got what you wanted possible.

One, two, three, 349 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: four of us got about six or seven maybe eight, 350 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: not counting the quality control guys. But I suspect what 351 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: are we talking Tuesday? I suspend talking quality control. Yeah, 352 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: I suspect by Monday, I'm going to put in your 353 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: resume real quick. 354 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 4: I'm going to put I. 355 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: Predict by the end of this week most of the 356 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: staff will be finalized. Okay, I'm pulling an Isaiah. 357 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 3: How do we feel at it right now? Let's just 358 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 3: start from a general standpoint. Yes, defensive side of the ball. Matti, 359 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 3: you've reflus is your head coach. Excuse me, your defensive coordinator. 360 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 3: Of course, he was the head coach in Chicago prior, 361 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 3: but was also the linebackers coach in Dallas from twenty 362 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 3: eleven to twenty seventeen. He's been around the building, returns 363 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 3: to the building at a higher clip than what he 364 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 3: had initially when he was here in Dallas. 365 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 4: I thought, at least out of the two guys that 366 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 4: I really. 367 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 3: Wanted Robert Sala or Matti eb Refluse, this is a 368 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 3: win for Dallas on the defensive side. 369 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 11: Of the ball. 370 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 3: It's going to be hard to keep them, at least 371 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 3: the expectations straight because of what you've had from Dan Quinn, 372 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 3: what you had last year as a turnaround from Mike 373 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 3: Zimmer from the beginning of the year to the end 374 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 3: of the year. I'm interested to see what the expectations are. 375 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 3: But Josh, what do you think about the h. 376 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 5: That's going to be tough on the players regardless because 377 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 5: you have the third year in a row of defensive 378 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 5: coordinator engines. Yeah, I think that's tough just to begin with, 379 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 5: it happened from. 380 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 4: Twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, and twenty twenty one. 381 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, actually, happens. It happens. But my thing 382 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 5: here is it was Tommy that kind of like quelled 383 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 5: my concerns at that point exactly. Well, he was talking about, 384 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 5: you know, he's not a great head coach candidate. He 385 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 5: really wasn't, And especially at the Bears, you saw that 386 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 5: time management was an issue and basically everything outside of 387 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 5: the defense was an issue for Matt Eberfluss. When I 388 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 5: saw that name flying around just before it was reported, 389 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 5: I was like, all right, that sounds like a good thing. 390 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 5: My thing is like, are the players going to be 391 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 5: able to connect and relate and buy in to yet 392 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 5: another defensive scheme? To me, outside looking in, it seems 393 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 5: like the right choice to make because you know, you 394 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 5: probably don't bring Mike Zimmer back because he wants to 395 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 5: retire so reportedly supposedly, So either way, you're gonna have 396 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 5: a tough decision to make. I think at least with 397 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 5: this and at least with this one, you have a 398 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 5: defensive coordinator that is coaching well on defense intoday's football league. 399 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 5: That to me is most telling about this Higher? Is 400 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 5: it my favorite higher of the bunch? 401 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 4: I don't know what is your. 402 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 5: I know, I know, I know I don't want to. 403 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 4: It's a Jerry Maddalone special. Yes, ask the follow up. 404 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 4: You let it out there. 405 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 5: I know, I know. 406 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 1: Uh. 407 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 5: Defensive line coach Aaron White Cotton, what event for DC? 408 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 10: No? 409 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 5: No, no, no, I mean sorry, you mean candidate for 410 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 5: d C. I mean of the higher so far so 411 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 5: far running backs coach would. 412 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: Be up there. Actually, Derrick Foster. 413 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 4: You like Foster? I like Foster. Okay, we'll get it 414 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 4: more into that in a minute. What do you think 415 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 4: about the flues Higer Isaiah? 416 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 8: It makes sense. 417 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 4: You weren't super high on Zim last year when that happened. 418 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 10: I was not. 419 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 4: I'm getting a similar feel here. 420 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 7: I abra Flus has had successful defenses, so I don't. 421 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 7: I mean, obviously I had my comments in regards to 422 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 7: I think last time we went on about head coach, 423 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 7: I didn't feel that he had the presence of a 424 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 7: head coach, But in terms of a coordinator, that'sked something 425 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 7: completely different. I have concerns about I guess just my 426 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 7: own concerns, but my questions revolving around the staff are 427 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 7: just what is it going to be? The culture, It's 428 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 7: going to be the energy? Those things matter to me 429 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 7: when it comes to building a team, and I don't know. 430 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 7: I mean, there's so much. I don't have a lot 431 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 7: to say. I hate to say that because I just 432 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 7: don't know. I really don't. I don't know how many 433 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 7: people really feel like they do know right now what's 434 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 7: going to be. I think it's kind of a wait 435 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,439 Speaker 7: and see type of deal. I think to see how 436 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 7: Schottenheimer is going to what he's going to try to 437 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 7: instill what what is going to be the reflection of 438 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 7: the team, you know, when they take the practice field, 439 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 7: when they take the actual games, Like what what energy 440 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 7: are you expecting from this team? Is it a what 441 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 7: do you fear about this team? Is it a preparation? 442 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 9: Is it there? 443 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 8: Is it their relentlessness? 444 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 12: Is it there? 445 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 3: You know? 446 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,879 Speaker 8: Their big playability? Like what is the identity of these 447 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 8: this team? And we just don't know. 448 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 7: We do know that he's capable of calling plays offense. 449 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 7: We do know that Eberflus is capable of putting together 450 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 7: a solid defenses. So I mean, you know, I think 451 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 7: that the biggest higher I haven't learned on the names yet, 452 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 7: so I apologize. But the office a line coach, I 453 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 7: think that's major to. 454 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 5: Me though, A difference between Mike Zimmer last year and 455 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 5: the higher Last year, Mike Zimmer was taking over a 456 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 5: defense that was already solidifies. I think at this point 457 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 5: this year you have some room to grow and to 458 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 5: kind of change your personnel on defense. I mean, you're 459 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 5: going to have to anyways, because you're going to lose 460 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 5: some guys. There's agents, There's no doubt about that. So 461 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 5: at least Ibraflus has a better shot at it because 462 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 5: he can actually create the defense that he wants to 463 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 5: having to just basically use somebody else's defense, which is 464 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 5: what Mike Zimmer was testing. 465 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 3: And remember Zimmer said that at the end, he said, 466 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 3: one of my biggest regret regrets was not having my 467 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 3: stamp on it early and trying to mold myself to 468 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 3: what was happening. He said, if I would have started 469 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 3: doing what I wanted to do earlier, then it might 470 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 3: have been a different outcome. Who knows, it may not 471 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 3: have been, it may have been a similar outcome, and whatever. 472 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 5: Well, I mean, the proofs in the pudding that the 473 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 5: defense at the end of the year was better than 474 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 5: they were at the beginning. 475 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 1: I love the return of ebra Flus. He was he 476 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,199 Speaker 1: was second on my list. I wanted Robert Seller as 477 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. That was a long shot, but it was 478 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: a shot. And credit to them, they took their shot. 479 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: They brought him in, they had to sit down with them. 480 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: I'm giving an interview, was our first interview, right, and 481 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: yes that was for a head coach position, but I 482 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: was I'm told that they also discussed DC as well. 483 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: So they shot their shot. Forty nine Ers came in 484 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: with the you know, familiarity. I was like in the bag. 485 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 4: I was like, hey, not only do you non head 486 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 4: coach in the NFL. 487 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: So he did what he needed to do. I'm not 488 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: mad at that. So circling back and getting eber Flus 489 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: for me, it gives you a fantastic balance of two things. One, 490 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: you have just enough familiarity, right, so just enough because 491 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: quite as it's kept. Like Malie Cooker, for example, Melik 492 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 1: Hooker played on the eber Flus and with the Indianapolis 493 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: coach and he played well on the eba Flu, So 494 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: he's going to be able to help some of these 495 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: guys who haven't played on the ebra Flus kind of 496 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: acclimate to that. If the Cowboys can keep Jordan Lewis. 497 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: For example, I reached out to Jeordian because Jordan played 498 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 1: under Eva Flus as the past game coordinator. I learned 499 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: some things linebackers coach, but mostly past game coordinator. So 500 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: this is what Jordan Lewis told me, and check out 501 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: the article on the dot com as well. I asked 502 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: him to describe Ebra Flus's vision culture as a defensive 503 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: potential defensive coordinator. He said, and I quote vision defense. 504 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: That's going to be that's going to uh run to 505 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: the ball and tackle hard. 506 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 3: Uh. 507 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: And I asked him, I said so, he said, in 508 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: the front four are going to attack. Then I asked him, 509 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: you know, straight up, how how would you feel about 510 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 1: playing under Evil Flus again? And he said, I love it. 511 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 1: So as far as free agency goes, this might be one. 512 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis, Yeah, hey, this is done. But this is 513 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: why it's it's key to get the right guy in here. 514 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: Four attack, front four attack in a vision defense, se ball, 515 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: get ball. 516 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 4: The number is kind of interesting. 517 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 3: Four get ball, not front three. Are going to know 518 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 3: front four, front four that's for to be dominant. Yeah, 519 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 3: what you need is a dominant three attack is. 520 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 8: What you need. You need another dominant end. 521 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 4: And there's a lot of things we got commercials and 522 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 4: stuff that you got to get to. 523 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 3: In seven years as a defensive play caller, eba Flus's 524 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,640 Speaker 3: defense ranked in the top half of the league five 525 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 3: times and we're in the top ten and take away 526 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 3: six of those seven seasons. 527 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 4: Remember what was the predication of dan Quinn's defense? Takeaway 528 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 4: for sure. 529 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,360 Speaker 1: You know it's also beautiful about eber Flu's coming back 530 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 1: is he's not simply coming back as someone who only 531 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 1: coordinated a defense or pass defense, or only coordinated an 532 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: entire defense. His specialty is what linebackers specialty is linebackers. 533 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 1: So you're getting this guy. 534 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 4: We've got a bunch of those on Foster right, No, 535 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 4: but you're. 536 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: Getting this guy to get his hands on Mars Leafoul 537 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,959 Speaker 1: who showed that his trajectory is due North Solid, who 538 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: when overshown comes back, showed he has all pro potential 539 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: when he can be on the field. If you can 540 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: get Eric Kendricks to return to kind of stabilize that 541 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: attack it again in the just some consistency too, but 542 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: just knowing that Jordy Lewis is saying, Okay, this is 543 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: a front four going to attack, and then you have 544 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 1: a guy who specializes in linebackers, so that front seven 545 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 1: should be quite nasty. And being that he also coordinated 546 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: the pass defense, he has the ability to get the 547 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 1: secondary in the right positions. And now his secondary is 548 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: led by a former first round pick who played for him, 549 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 1: and it's still playing mostly at a high level in 550 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: Molie Cooker. But I love it. I absolutely love it. 551 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 3: I don't want to take away from any of the callers.

And second, I just want to make it 656 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 10: abundantly clear that I am ecstatic that Will McClay signed 657 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 10: a five year contract extension and uh last, but not least, 658 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 10: do you think Brian Schottenheimer might be taking on too 659 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 10: much considering that he's gonna I'll call plays, uh, considering 660 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 10: that this is his first chance to become an This 661 00:30:54,560 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 10: is his first chance at being a head coach in 662 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 10: the National Football League. Take care, thanks for being thanks 663 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 10: for being patient with me, and have a great week. 664 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 3: By great stuff, Nevy. As always, I want to talk 665 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 3: about that last point too much. From Brian Schottenheimer's standpoint, 666 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 3: it is his first shot to be a head coach, 667 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 3: and everybody knows that by now. It's a pretty common 668 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 3: theme around the criticism of hiring Schottenheimer, and even I 669 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 3: thought the Jones family addressed that pretty well during the 670 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 3: press conference. If you are given a one shot, at 671 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 3: one opportunity to come in and snag a coaching job 672 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 3: in monsteraghetti man I was I was trying not to 673 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 3: quote it, but I almost did all the way through 674 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 3: eight mile. So but when you bring it, when you 675 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 3: bring in Schottenheimer and he's your head coach, wouldn't you 676 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 3: want to do it on your terms? And if you 677 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 3: feel confident enough to call plays, give it a shot. 678 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 3: That's an easy fix in my opinion, Absolutely you go 679 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 3: in and let's say things don't go well. 680 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 4: God forbid. 681 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 3: Something just doesn't click in the play calling aspect, The 682 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 3: offense just doesn't look right. Things aren't really working out 683 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 3: in your favor. That's an easy fix to say, you 684 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 3: know what, I understand. 685 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 4: I tried it. I did what I could. 686 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 3: It's my first time as a head coach. Let's pass 687 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 3: this on and let's give it to Clayton Adams or 688 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 3: whoever the offensive coordinator is at that time, and let's 689 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 3: move it on down the line and let's see who 690 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 3: else can call plays. 691 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 4: I think that's an easy selection. 692 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 3: Why not try it early, because if you're given one 693 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 3: shot to be a head coach in the National Football League, 694 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 3: as Nebe just outlined a moment ago, I think I 695 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 3: would want to do it on my own terms, especially 696 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 3: if I was already expecting to call plays somewhere else 697 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 3: in the NFL. 698 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: No, I agree with you, first and foremost, let's try 699 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 1: it my way, and then if it doesn't work my way, 700 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: you just got to trust that that coach has the 701 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 1: willingness to be accountable and saying, you know what, try 702 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 1: it my way didn't work, Let's try it your way 703 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: and That's why it's it's key. That's why I love 704 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: that you said Clayton Adams is your favorite of the 705 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: highers is because if they have to throw those keys 706 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: to the offensive coordinator the call plays. I love that 707 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,239 Speaker 1: it's Clayton Adams that they'd be throwing the keys too. 708 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 5: He's like, yeah, this time, I'm going to stand up 709 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 5: a shout. This time it's my way, my way or 710 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 5: the highway. 711 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 4: Honestly, we're just quote musical. 712 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 10: No. 713 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 5: I mean, come on, man, I think at this point 714 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 5: it's a modern NFL. He has to have a say 715 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 5: in the play calling at this point. We've been dealing 716 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 5: with it for a while now, and we saw how 717 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 5: that turned out. Granted it wasn't a great experiment on 718 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 5: our part, but a lot of other teams do it. 719 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 5: Give him a shot, dude, I want a shoty. 720 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: What the lip biting was about, That's what I want 721 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 1: to see. So keep in mind. During the press conference, 722 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones said something that stuck out. He said that 723 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: there were times where Brian Schottenheimer was biting his lip 724 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 1: because under the under McCarthy's play calling, because he didn't 725 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 1: necessarily agree with whatever was happening at the time. So 726 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: I want to see what that manifests. 727 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 8: I want to know when mister Jones knew about that mm. 728 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, was it interview or in the time period. 729 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,839 Speaker 1: But I want to see what the lip bite is about. 730 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: So that means, and I mean that to say, show 731 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:16,239 Speaker 1: me what it was that McCarthy was doing that Schottenheimer 732 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 1: didn't agree with by the way of showing me what 733 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 1: you would prefer to do in certain situations. So yeah, 734 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:21,800 Speaker 1: let's go. 735 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:26,919 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think him listening to Usher definitely was sure 736 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 8: in this house is my way. 737 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 4: I think that's the way. That's the way to do it. 738 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 7: I I do have one thing I wanted to get 739 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 7: you guys take on this before we get to the 740 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 7: next caller. What's y'all thoughts on the comments. I know 741 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,279 Speaker 7: you can look into comments way too much of course 742 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 7: these things, but at that press conference, you know, he 743 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 7: emphasized the amount of time that him and Dak were 744 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 7: going to be spending together now that he's the head 745 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 7: coach and no longer the offensive coordinator. 746 00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 4: It felt like there were limitations placed. Yeah, So it 747 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 4: was funny. 748 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 3: Patrick and I were texting yesterday, not about football, not 749 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 3: about wrestling, not about anything talking about NASCAR. Right, talking 750 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 3: about NASCAR, it's almost a Daytona five hundred. We're in 751 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,400 Speaker 3: the middle of February. You know what they do with 752 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,279 Speaker 3: Daytona Because things are going a little too fast around there, 753 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,879 Speaker 3: They put a thing on the car called a restrictor plate, 754 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 3: and you restrict how fast in the airflow of the 755 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,320 Speaker 3: car and goes to keep everybody safe around you. For 756 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 3: some reason whenever that was in the thought process. And 757 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 3: I know not every one of our listeners knows exactly 758 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 3: what a restrictor plate is or what NASCAR even is 759 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,800 Speaker 3: at times. However, when I thought about it, I was like, 760 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 3: that felt like there was a restriction placed on who 761 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 3: could talk to who and where it could talk to anybody. 762 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,240 Speaker 4: I think all of that is gone. 763 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 3: I think you've taken the restricted play off because in 764 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:49,840 Speaker 3: terms of the same kind of breath that happened in 765 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 3: that press conference when they were talking about how much 766 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 3: time they're going to spend together, there was a lot 767 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 3: of emphasis on communication and relationships and people building and 768 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,720 Speaker 3: leadership build thing. And I don't know if that's always 769 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 3: been the case in the past. There's a lot of 770 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 3: x's and o's, there's a lot of business. I feel 771 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 3: like now there's more of an emphasis on let's try 772 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,719 Speaker 3: and build something together as opposed to try and make 773 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 3: these puzzle pieces fit together. 774 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 5: Well, the inevitable question. You called it the restrict plate, right, Yeah, 775 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 5: should that have been on in the first place for 776 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 5: a quarterback that you've had for you know, seven season 777 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 5: as an offensive coordinator, as an offensive coordinator as well. 778 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,759 Speaker 4: I mean, that's why that stick out. That's what was 779 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 4: weird about. 780 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 5: That's kind of the root of the problem, I think, 781 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 5: and at least. 782 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 4: Rooted. 783 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 5: I who knows, maybe that wasn't the right decision maybe 784 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 5: or maybe it was the right decision at the time. 785 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 3: But disclaimer, we do not dislike Mike McCarthy on this show. 786 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,239 Speaker 3: I just want to let it were all very we 787 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 3: were all. 788 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 8: That was the one statement in the press conference that 789 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 8: made me go. 790 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:54,799 Speaker 5: It just didn't for me pull Tim Allen. 791 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,760 Speaker 8: But yeah, yeah, I didn't. 792 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:01,240 Speaker 7: Sit right with me because I'm like, as an officeer coordinator, 793 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,880 Speaker 7: even though you weren't recalling plays, I would assume that 794 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 7: your number one responsibility will see as your number one 795 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 7: player responsibility is your quarterback always, So if you weren't 796 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,760 Speaker 7: spending that time period in that role. 797 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,800 Speaker 8: With your quarterback. Why now would you have time to 798 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:20,399 Speaker 8: spend that much. 799 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: Time or I don't think it was left in your time. 800 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:23,840 Speaker 1: I think when you have so many other people to 801 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,920 Speaker 1: be responsible for. Really, I really think it was it 802 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,400 Speaker 1: ties back. And then I keep my gut keep circling 803 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,320 Speaker 1: back to that comment about lip Biden. I think it 804 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 1: was a situation where there was a difference in philosophy 805 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 1: between McCarthy and Schottenheimer. And McCarthy and he was well 806 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,239 Speaker 1: within his rights to do so as head coach and 807 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 1: play caller said, I don't want any potential miscommunication between 808 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 1: what DAK is expected, what I'm expecting to see from 809 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 1: DAK philosophy wise, versus what you know Schottenheimer might be 810 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,120 Speaker 1: telling DAK, and not that Schottenheimer would have been trying 811 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 1: to undermine, but it's just if it was just basic 812 00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 1: conversations and meetings or whatnot, Shottenheimer might say A whereas 813 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,920 Speaker 1: McCarthy is teaching B and that's kind of in the 814 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 1: middle of Okay, which do I go with here? And 815 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 1: McCarthy being an old school ball coach in the head coach, 816 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 1: he probably was like, I want one message, Yeah, one 817 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,240 Speaker 1: message and one message only, and if you're not preaching 818 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:18,879 Speaker 1: that message, then don't talk to my quarterback. But Chldheimer 819 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 1: is much more of a right Yeah, yeah it is. 820 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 1: But Schattenheimer does feel much more of that new age 821 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:31,719 Speaker 1: head coach collective. This everybody get on the same page. 822 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 1: Let's get everybody's ideas on the table, let's come to 823 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: an agree on agreements on what that should look like, 824 00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: and then let's communicate that message versus this is my message. 825 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: Get on board, which I feel like that was one 826 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,759 Speaker 1: of the reasons. And I did love Zimmer on the 827 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 1: back end because he turned the defense around, but I 828 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 1: think that was one of the disconnects with Zimmer and 829 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,560 Speaker 1: the pre existing coaching staff that he came in to 830 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 1: coach his assistance. 831 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 3: That's one of the reasons why you hired McCarthy in 832 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 3: the first place, because he had a culture, He had 833 00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,319 Speaker 3: a mentality and a system and what he wants. 834 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,880 Speaker 1: And see, shot Heimer doesn't have a hit. He can culture, 835 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,400 Speaker 1: so he's wide open as far as Okay, my culture 836 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,080 Speaker 1: is a collective. Yeah, this, get everybody's ideas and let's 837 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,440 Speaker 1: establish it. Whereas Mike Zimmer, Mike McCarthy was like, hey, 838 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 1: I know what I'm doing.

Let me just play 912 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:44,400 Speaker 9: hold on, hold on twenty three, Hold on the twenty 913 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,560 Speaker 9: three the first and second round were bus and twenty 914 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 9: two the second and third round. 915 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:50,640 Speaker 8: Not so good. 916 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:52,680 Speaker 9: In twenty one we might as well have said we 917 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:58,440 Speaker 9: didn't have a draft besides Parsons, and in nineteen our 918 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,839 Speaker 9: highest pick was a bus. I'm not seeing it. I'm 919 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 9: not seeing the value there. Guys, help me out. 920 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,200 Speaker 5: Well, you just said besides Parsons. 921 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:12,120 Speaker 9: I think the goal you're the draft one guy. 922 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:14,800 Speaker 4: I don't know, man. I think there's a lot of 923 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:16,880 Speaker 4: ro bowlers on the roster because. 924 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:20,480 Speaker 5: Of m Tyler Smith. You gotta take into account. I 925 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:21,759 Speaker 5: think there are a lot of players that you're kind 926 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 5: of moving the tras. But doron Bland, but I agree 927 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,279 Speaker 5: with you that there are guys that he's missed on 928 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,360 Speaker 5: for or that the organization is missed on. 929 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 4: It's the NFL draft in general exactly. 930 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:32,440 Speaker 8: Everyone's not gonna be a hit. 931 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 4: Yeah. 932 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,600 Speaker 3: Well, and I think the way you started that too 933 00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 3: when you said twenty three and twenty four, I've been 934 00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,439 Speaker 3: as critical as anybody whenever it comes to the twenty 935 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,920 Speaker 3: three and twenty four class, and I'm still on that bandwagon. 936 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,640 Speaker 3: Outside of your third round picks that just both happen 937 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,600 Speaker 3: to be linebackers, I'm not impressed so far. Mayris leaf 938 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,480 Speaker 3: ou Dubarian overshown from twenty four to twenty three, respectively. 939 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 4: Those are draft classes that have not hit yet. But 940 00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:57,640 Speaker 4: the key word is yet. They're still on your roster 941 00:43:58,239 --> 00:43:58,879 Speaker 4: for the most part. 942 00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,319 Speaker 3: So we've seen some good things out of Schoonmaker, We've 943 00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,880 Speaker 3: seen some good things out of Monzie Smith. It depends 944 00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,239 Speaker 3: on how they're able to get out of that right now. 945 00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 4: No, they haven't lived up to the expectation. Are they 946 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:10,360 Speaker 4: going to? 947 00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,719 Speaker 3: Time will tell, But right now I think it's it's 948 00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,760 Speaker 3: tough to call both of them a draft bus across 949 00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,399 Speaker 3: the way where I think twenty nineteen you could say 950 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,560 Speaker 3: that's a busted draft. Twenty twenty was one of the 951 00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,600 Speaker 3: best drafts you've had in a long time. When you 952 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:27,560 Speaker 3: had Ceedee Lamb Trayvon Diggs. Yeah, Tyler Biattish, you had, 953 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,160 Speaker 3: you had a number of guys there. 954 00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:31,879 Speaker 12: With that that made a huge impact five years ago. 955 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,040 Speaker 3: It was five years ago, but you you've hit in 956 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,640 Speaker 3: twenty two, got Tyler Smith up fromt You've got twenty three. 957 00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:39,480 Speaker 4: It happens along the way. 958 00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:44,759 Speaker 7: But there's a there's a partnership here though. Understand this 959 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,080 Speaker 7: from upper management right in the scouting department. Their role 960 00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,280 Speaker 7: is to identify talent and bring talent into building. Correct, 961 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 7: what what what exchange happens from that point, Who's who's 962 00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:56,480 Speaker 7: been now responsible? 963 00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:57,800 Speaker 8: There's a thing called coaching. 964 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 7: There's a thing called coaching, right, So you can't just 965 00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,840 Speaker 7: put all the responsibility on the scouting department. 966 00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:07,439 Speaker 8: They are able to identify needs. 967 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,000 Speaker 7: Of your team, positional needs, and they are able to 968 00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:13,880 Speaker 7: fill those needs with talented players. Now, once that exchange happens, 969 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,880 Speaker 7: they're now drafted. Their job is now done with those guys, right, 970 00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,200 Speaker 7: they turn to guys that are now on other rosters, 971 00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,359 Speaker 7: They turn to guys that are in other leagues. It's 972 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,759 Speaker 7: to coaches now their job to develop. Which is a 973 00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,640 Speaker 7: conversation that we have had on this show many times 974 00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,719 Speaker 7: in terms of the responsibility of position coaches and why 975 00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:32,680 Speaker 7: there needs to be more of an emphasis place on 976 00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:37,080 Speaker 7: position coaches, which is why we're excited about position coaches 977 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,520 Speaker 7: that are coming upon this roster, because we understand how 978 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,560 Speaker 7: influential they are to the development of players. 979 00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,040 Speaker 8: Just because become a professional. 980 00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 7: Athlete does not stop your development in terms of growing 981 00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,480 Speaker 7: and getting better. You come in as a collegiate player, 982 00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,719 Speaker 7: you develop into a professional athlete, so you have to 983 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,120 Speaker 7: get handed off to a coach who's capable of developing you, 984 00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,120 Speaker 7: which is why Linda Wells is huge. 985 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,319 Speaker 9: Let me let me, let me make this point by 986 00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 9: my observation, go for it and then coming in hot 987 00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:09,040 Speaker 9: Kneelan and BB from this year, if you look at 988 00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:12,880 Speaker 9: him when they lose, they're losing with great efforts. They 989 00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 9: play like they want to be there, where Maisie Smith 990 00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:19,279 Speaker 9: and Schoonmaker there are times they play like they don't 991 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,360 Speaker 9: want any part of it. And I think there's a 992 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,640 Speaker 9: big difference between that. Sure, it gives me hope for 993 00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,080 Speaker 9: it gives me hope for the top three and twenty four, 994 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,480 Speaker 9: and it doesn't give me hope for Smith and Scootmakers. 995 00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:34,680 Speaker 1: Okay, so let me say this, Jim Number one. What 996 00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:39,719 Speaker 1: Isaiah said stands out fantastically because it's it's a two 997 00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:43,960 Speaker 1: part equation. The scouts are tasked with finding the best 998 00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,000 Speaker 1: talent with the highest ceiling. Once they do so, they 999 00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:48,719 Speaker 1: get handed off to the coach. Now, this is why 1000 00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:53,320 Speaker 1: you see situations annually around the league where a player 1001 00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,960 Speaker 1: leaves a respective team and they go and they thrive, 1002 00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:00,239 Speaker 1: right as you know how that feels, right, you know 1003 00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:04,000 Speaker 1: how that feels. So that goes to say that sometimes 1004 00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,520 Speaker 1: it's fit, it's scheme, it's coaching, whatever the case may be. 1005 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:09,440 Speaker 1: But once the scout identifies the high level talent, that 1006 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,360 Speaker 1: their job is done. So and I agree, and I 1007 00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,719 Speaker 1: said this on Twitter. Is Will McLay perfect, absolutely not, 1008 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:20,320 Speaker 1: but batting average, His batting average is sensational. So for 1009 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:27,120 Speaker 1: every Taco Charleton, right, you'll get Ezekiel here for taco. Yeah, 1010 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,239 Speaker 1: I mean, taco, Taco is the thing. Right, We're not 1011 00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:30,920 Speaker 1: gonna pretend Taco's not a thing. We're not going to 1012 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:31,680 Speaker 1: pretend that Christmas. 1013 00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,439 Speaker 9: No, No, I didn't know McLay was here during Taco years. 1014 00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:38,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, so let me remind you. McLay came in 1015 00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,600 Speaker 1: twenty twenty eleven, so that means Tyron Smith Is McLay Era, 1016 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:45,359 Speaker 1: Zach Martin, Travis, Frederick DeMarco, Murray, DeMarcus, Lawrence Zeke, Dak 1017 00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,800 Speaker 1: Prescott and Lewis, Tony Potter, Chauncey Ghost and Osa Micah 1018 00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:50,439 Speaker 1: cd Trayvon Deron Blam. 1019 00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:54,440 Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm not a Golson fan, but Okay, Chauncey saved. 1020 00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:58,680 Speaker 3: That was a byproduct of a lot of bad coaching decisions. 1021 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,600 Speaker 3: For you, you would be looking on he did as 1022 00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:02,800 Speaker 3: an edge Dross Lord Iowa. 1023 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,680 Speaker 1: You would be a Chauncy Ghoston fan if the coaching, 1024 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,839 Speaker 1: to Isaiah's point, had put him on edge and kept 1025 00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,839 Speaker 1: him on the edge prior to breaking glass in case 1026 00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,799 Speaker 1: of emergency. Last season, so you saw Chauncey Ghost come 1027 00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:16,200 Speaker 1: out and have. 1028 00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:17,000 Speaker 8: A courier season. 1029 00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:20,360 Speaker 9: I disagree with you on Patrick. I think Chauncey is 1030 00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:25,040 Speaker 9: a defensive ends body that should be playing the defensive tackle, 1031 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:26,799 Speaker 9: but he didn't have the body for it. I don't 1032 00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:28,959 Speaker 9: think he can redirect like the defensive endings. 1033 00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:30,320 Speaker 1: Well, let me let me ask you this, and I 1034 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:34,800 Speaker 1: love do you think Miles Gart Michael d I was 1035 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,600 Speaker 1: gonna say, do you think that Miles Garrett and Michael 1036 00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:39,600 Speaker 1: Parsons possessed the same abilities as d n. 1037 00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,520 Speaker 9: The same abilities. I think Miles Garrett has a little 1038 00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:45,360 Speaker 9: more power. 1039 00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:49,480 Speaker 7: They're completely different events, completely different characters like Miles and 1040 00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:49,800 Speaker 7: t J. 1041 00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:53,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, two different. Here's what I asked, do you think 1042 00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:57,480 Speaker 1: Tyron Crawford was a five or three? Do you think 1043 00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:57,640 Speaker 1: he was? 1044 00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:00,799 Speaker 9: I think I think he was a with a high 1045 00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:02,640 Speaker 9: motor and a competitive attitude. 1046 00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,400 Speaker 1: Fair enough, so we'll agree on that. I think Chauncey Ghosting, 1047 00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,399 Speaker 1: I'm not saying Ghosting is a world beater. I'm saying 1048 00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:09,640 Speaker 1: that he could have been an impact player well before 1049 00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:11,799 Speaker 1: he was, which goes to the coaching aspect. But then 1050 00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,000 Speaker 1: if you fast forward, yeah, you have like the Tristan 1051 00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:15,520 Speaker 1: Hills of the world. You want to forget that. You 1052 00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,000 Speaker 1: want to forget to right right, You want to forget that, 1053 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,360 Speaker 1: you want to forget that everybody has right. But you 1054 00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,279 Speaker 1: coming forward because I know people say, oh, Tyrone was 1055 00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,120 Speaker 1: more than a decade ago. Fine, like you said, though, 1056 00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,759 Speaker 1: Cooper b B. Mary Sleep to Marveon over shown as 1057 00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:30,400 Speaker 1: a Will McLay. 1058 00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:32,880 Speaker 7: Let me ask this question, who's our interior d Lineman 1059 00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:34,720 Speaker 7: we got rid of that was playing in the playoffs, 1060 00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:40,239 Speaker 7: just recently Ridgeway or Ridgeway, No, Phillips, you're talking about 1061 00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:41,240 Speaker 7: Rogers interior. 1062 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,279 Speaker 4: No, No, Rogers is with us, you're talking about we're 1063 00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,080 Speaker 4: talking about Uh, he got. 1064 00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:52,040 Speaker 8: A couple of years ago Gallimore Gallimore Galley. Yeah, ally 1065 00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:52,680 Speaker 8: was coaching. 1066 00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:58,279 Speaker 1: Huge, Yeah, huge, huge contribution impacted. So so you're not 1067 00:49:58,360 --> 00:49:59,360 Speaker 1: going to hit on everything. 1068 00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:01,920 Speaker 4: So we agree with that, Jim, I want to ask 1069 00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:05,160 Speaker 4: you one more question out of the NFC. Let's just 1070 00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:06,040 Speaker 4: keep it to the NFC. 1071 00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:11,200 Speaker 3: Who were the best draft classing or best drafting teams. 1072 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,880 Speaker 4: In the NFC right now? Who would you put up 1073 00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:14,440 Speaker 4: there at the top. 1074 00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,040 Speaker 9: I think Philly had a phenomenon. 1075 00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,400 Speaker 3: Philly is a great point and I think they'll continue 1076 00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,040 Speaker 3: to grow into it. Let me add this, since twenty twenty, 1077 00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,239 Speaker 3: that was that was the draft. That was the draft 1078 00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,799 Speaker 3: you just mentioned twenty twenty and it was five years ago, right. 1079 00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,600 Speaker 3: Since twenty twenty, the Cowboys have had different players named 1080 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:36,640 Speaker 3: to fifteen total Pro Bowls. Since twenty twenty, the Philadelphia Eagles, 1081 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,200 Speaker 3: out of their draft class, has only had nine. 1082 00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:43,800 Speaker 9: So let's continue to look at vote by the fans. 1083 00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:47,279 Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, and then the All pros I think would 1084 00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:49,239 Speaker 3: line up to it as well, I didn't count all pros. 1085 00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:52,040 Speaker 1: But also here's some edit context for you, Jim. Look 1086 00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,680 Speaker 1: at what Kyle is saying, and now I'll can see 1087 00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:56,959 Speaker 1: too Pro Bowl having a third fan of one hundred 1088 00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,400 Speaker 1: percent Tury, but all pros are also an underwoman. 1089 00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:01,799 Speaker 4: I don't think this is right. This is no all 1090 00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,640 Speaker 4: pros for Philly at all since twenty I don't think. 1091 00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,760 Speaker 1: But let me let me add this. How many staff 1092 00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:12,840 Speaker 1: changes under Will McClay. Have you seen head coach, offensive coordinator, 1093 00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:18,279 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, position coaches consistent and still the talent is 1094 00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:18,680 Speaker 1: coming in? 1095 00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:19,600 Speaker 4: Do you see what I'm saying? 1096 00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:23,120 Speaker 1: So again, we're not We're not forgiving the Taco Charletons 1097 00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:23,920 Speaker 1: and the Tristan your pick. 1098 00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,120 Speaker 8: We're not players based upon what those coaching staffs want. 1099 00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:31,320 Speaker 1: But what we're saying is from a consistency standpoint, and 1100 00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,280 Speaker 1: as far as batting average goes and on base percentage 1101 00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:37,560 Speaker 1: goals for my for my baseball fans, and slugging percentage goals, 1102 00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,040 Speaker 1: Will McClay is arguably the best. 1103 00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:41,640 Speaker 8: Put it like this. 1104 00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,000 Speaker 7: Will Will McClay would have been the hottest free agent 1105 00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,400 Speaker 7: in football had he been out on the streets. 1106 00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:50,000 Speaker 5: He not line he let me leave you with this, 1107 00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:56,239 Speaker 5: I respect, I respect your opinion.
