So they could have 64 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 5: signed them to a two year deal. 65 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:29,679 Speaker 4: That's what they're doing. 66 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, So which attracted because it's also Justin Rogers decision 67 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 3: whether he accepts an offer from the Dallas Cowboy the 68 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 3: other team. 69 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 4: That's right. 70 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 3: So now you get down to the last three games 71 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 3: and here you go, you make that move and you 72 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 3: fortifying yourself for the future too. 73 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 5: And they're yeah, and all you got to do is 74 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 5: sign them. 75 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 4: To because you got that seventh round draft pick back. 76 00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 4: That's right. 77 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 5: Thought of it that way. That's that's like when you 78 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 5: know when they signed Cavante Turpin not knowing what he 79 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 5: was he signed a three year deal, right, and it's 80 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 5: like I know his agent and so I told him, 81 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 5: what are you doing after he's Rookie of the Year, 82 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 5: and I'm figuring, Okay, he's up for a big payday, 83 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 5: and my buddy goes, well, when no one's knocking at 84 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 5: your door and you didn't like play again in college 85 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 5: and you get an opportunity, you basically sign whatever they offering. 86 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 3: Right, And he's still even though he came into the 87 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 3: league ladies, still falls into the category of the he 88 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 3: hadn't put in the time to earn for his agency yet. 89 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 4: Until this fourth year. 90 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 5: So now he'll be restricted this coming year. Which sometimes 91 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 5: they signed those guys early and gave them a little 92 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 5: signing bonus. 93 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 6: I think that should be part of the practice. I 94 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 6: don't like wait until the last minute. I don't like 95 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 6: how we did it this year. I know it was 96 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 6: all kinds of circumstances that go with that, but time, 97 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 6: I mean, just needs to be a little better. That way, 98 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 6: you don't put yourself in the bind. Try and stay 99 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 6: away from that if you can in some way. 100 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 5: Well, I think they've got a better idea of where 101 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 5: they are against a very tight salary cap that's getting 102 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 5: tighter next year. But they've already taken care of two 103 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,799 Speaker 5: of those big contracts and now Micah with its fifty 104 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 5: year options, is going to be twenty some million, right, 105 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 5: so they know that for sure, and they know that 106 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 5: what the quarterback is, and they know what the wide 107 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 5: receiver is. And I don't know that they've got another 108 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 5: big ticket item they got to worry about. But they 109 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 5: got to worry about would you like to bring Osa back? 110 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 5: Would you like to bring Rico back? So those are 111 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 5: things you got to take care of. And when you're 112 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 5: a restricted free agent, you have the right of first refusal. 113 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 4: Right, what year is Tyler Smith now in this league? 114 00:05:58,480 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 4: So he should the third year. 115 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 3: It's just this is just so it won't be long 116 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 3: and you'll have a Tyler Smith decision to make. 117 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 6: Yep. 118 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 5: Absolutely, I mean it's just ongoing exactly. 119 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 2: There's always gonna be that, right. 120 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 5: You just got to hope the salary cap keep going up. 121 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 6: You're right, because the salaries are going up and they 122 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 6: are making money. They are not going to pay anybody 123 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 6: they can't pay.

Those two things are never gonna happen again. 181 00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 4: That's right, what's gonna happen? 182 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 2: No, we can't have those. 183 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 6: You know, it's kind of hard to anticipate problems that 184 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 6: you just assumed that you wouldn't know, right, I would 185 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 6: anticipate that you're not going to line up deep and 186 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 6: stay deep. 187 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 2: That's just you on me once for me once. Damn, 188 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 2: I was stupid. 189 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 6: That's what that is. 190 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 4: That's what that is, all right, mickey. 191 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 3: Well, we got the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rolling in here, 192 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 3: and they are rolling in here. They've won four straight games. 193 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 3: Their offense is averaging thirty one points a game. Baker Mayfield, 194 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 3: according to the head coach, is playing as well as 195 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 3: he's seen him play in his career, and goes all 196 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 3: the way back to seeing him at Lake Travis High 197 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 3: School where his the coach's daughter was a few years 198 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 3: ahead of Baker. But he's familiar with Lake Travis High 199 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 3: School and there, of course, Garrett Gilbert was there. 200 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 4: He had him, of course, but. 201 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 5: A lot of quarterbacks came out all Austin. 202 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 4: That's right. 203 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 5: So it's a weird season for them. They start off well, 204 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 5: they lose four straight and now they've won four string. 205 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 5: But there's a caveat there. They've beaten the two and 206 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 5: twelve Giants, the three and eleven Panthers, the two and 207 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 5: eleven Vegases, and the Chargers who are eight and six, 208 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 5: So I give them that one. Now, that last win 209 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 5: that was that. 210 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 6: Was I don't know if that means that they figured 211 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 6: things out, because if you're going to be trending up 212 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 6: with this is the best time to do it, right 213 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 6: this time of year. You don't want to go in 214 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 6: with any question marks. But having said that, you're ramping 215 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 6: up with these average teams and now you beat a 216 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 6: team like the Chargers. I don't know if I want 217 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 6: to put the Chargers up there as an elite type 218 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 6: of team in the league right now. But that was 219 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 6: a big win now, and the way they did it 220 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 6: was very impressive. 221 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 3: So it's kind of like the Cowboys, like they got 222 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 3: wins in the same stretch. They got wins over the 223 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,719 Speaker 3: Giants and the Panthers, which is the same as the Buccaneers, right, 224 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 3: and the only difference. 225 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 5: And they beat Washington. 226 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 3: They beat Washington, which is the equivalent of beating the Chargers, right, 227 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,199 Speaker 3: So you're looking they lost to Cincinnati, which would have 228 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 3: been instead Tampa Bay gotta win over Vegas. 229 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 5: That loss is going to come back to them. 230 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 6: It is that freaking punt see punt man, you know. 231 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 5: And the other thing they've done well too winning those 232 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 5: games is they've only in those four consecutive wins that 233 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 5: they've only given up sixty points. So my math tells 234 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 5: me that's fifteen points a game. That's pretty good. 235 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 2: Who do we owe that to? Do you think, Michael Parsons. 236 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 5: No, I met Tampa Bay. 237 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 3: So their average margin of victory the last four games 238 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 3: is about thirty one to fifteen. 239 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 5: Sounds that way, especially when you put up a forty, right. 240 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 5: So yeah, I think Mike McCarthy said this is a 241 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 5: big challenge, and I agree with him because they are 242 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 5: playing well offensively and defensively. You know they're gonna find 243 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 5: they're gonna meet the NFC Defensive Player of the Week 244 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 5: with Levonte David is that is one hundred and three 245 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 5: tackles already. 246 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 3: You know who has the most solo tackles among active 247 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 3: players of the National Football League right now with. 248 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 4: Eleven hundred, is it David? That would be Levante David. 249 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 5: Really, he has one hundred tackles, I believe I saw 250 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 5: this in their notes. Eleven straight times, eleven seasons in 251 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 5: a row with one hundred. 252 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 3: Tackles, second round draft pick in twenty two twelve. 253 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 5: With at least one hundred how many season eleven? 254 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 4: Damn he came in the league in twenty twelve. 255 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 3: So this is he's been here forever, thirteenth years out 256 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 3: of Nebraska. He was with he played for Nebraska when 257 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 3: Nebraska was good. Yeah, it's a long time ago. 258 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 5: I get back there with Johnny Fuss State. Yet is 259 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 5: its giving again? 260 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 2: Right? You know? 261 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 6: This team, the Cowboys team, Yeah, what Tampa is. 262 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 2: They've been that before. 263 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 6: They have been that team that's gotten on the road. 264 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 6: Baker Mayfield has really been consistent with him. You know, 265 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 6: he's had some some inconsistencies, but overall, you know what 266 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 6: you're gonna get with Baker. He's gonna come out just 267 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 6: really trying his hardest and you're gonna get your best 268 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 6: from him. And there's sometimes when you might see greatness 269 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 6: from Baker Mayfield. But this Cowboys team, with the running 270 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 6: game that they have and the way this defense is playing, 271 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:14,719 Speaker 6: it can be probably the best team that we've had. Uniquely, 272 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 6: I'll put it like that. In quite some time. I'm 273 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 6: not talking about the quarterback position. 274 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 5: Just despite all the injuries and what we've come. 275 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 6: Through and now with what our game plan is, our 276 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 6: game plan is not to come out dak CD. It 277 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 6: is not that our game plan has come out of 278 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 6: hitching the mouth right now on both sides. On both 279 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 6: sides and the way we're running that ball, No one's 280 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 6: really that comfortable with us the way we're running the ball, 281 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 6: and I know the teams aren't that great, but we 282 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 6: did what we were supposed to do, which at times 283 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 6: is a miracle for us doing what we're supposed to 284 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 6: do to win the game. And we've done that, i'd say, 285 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 6: especially the last three weeks. 286 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 3: The Cowboys went through a stretch of the season where 287 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 3: they had to be like five straight g games against 288 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 3: what were then division leaders, and then they've gone through 289 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 3: a stretch of about four games where they haven't faced 290 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 3: division leader. Well now they're back playing a division leader 291 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 3: this week in Tampa Bay and then a division leader 292 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 3: next week in Philadelphia. So we're going to find out 293 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 3: a lot more about where this Cowboys team is. 294 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 2: That's what I talked about yesterday. 295 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 6: You know, this Tampa team coming in here, that's usually 296 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 6: the teams, the type of teams that really put us 297 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 6: in our place. They've done that in the past. 298 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 5: Well, if you look at that five game stretch, so 299 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 5: Detroit first place. 300 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 4: Well in Pittsburgh before that, won that game. 301 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, Pittsburgh now now San Francisco fell off, Atlanta second place, 302 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 5: Philadelphia first place, and Houston still hanging in the first. 303 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 3: And Atlanta was a first place team when they played 304 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 3: when they played, and Houston's won their division. 305 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, so that was that was Atlanta's last good game. 306 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 5: That was the stretch. Ye guts because think about it 307 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 5: after Pittsburgh, we forget they were three and two. 308 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 6: So but like I said, it's it's our style of 309 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 6: play exactly. It's very different. Now we're not throwing the ball. 310 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 2: We are a basically a run first team. 311 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 6: I don't think I've ever I can't remember us being 312 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 6: a run first team in a long time. We'll find 313 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 6: winning while doing it, winning while doing. 314 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 5: Now, going up against this defense, will find out if 315 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 5: they can. 316 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 6: Interesting is even if I'm an offensive lineman, if I'm 317 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 6: an offensive coach, let's see what's. 318 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 2: Going to happen. 319 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 6: We're going to continue to do what we do. 320 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 3: The interesting thing about it is even after Dak got 321 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 3: hurt in the Atlanta game, it took like three games 322 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 3: before the Cowboys figured out that, okay, we need to 323 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 3: run the ball. 324 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 4: Rather first, rather than pass the ball first. 325 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 6: And it's helping him out. I mean, it's helping him 326 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 6: rush out. He's you know, basically doing what he can 327 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 6: and we're living and winning with his limitations. 328 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 3: Well, the beautiful thing about it too is CDs still 329 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 3: getting his numbers nine catches, hundred and sixteen yards and 330 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 3: a touchdown with this philosophy, you know, he's benefiting from. 331 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 6: By the way, So we have to say that the 332 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 6: running game is helping him a preparation, right, you don't 333 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 6: have the double team. We need that safety down here 334 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 6: to plug the run. Now I can work on you 335 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 6: one on one, and you know, most likely I'm going 336 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 6: to create the separation on a consistent basis. 337 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 3: And it doesn't mean you're running. An emphasis on the 338 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 3: run doesn't mean you're flipping the script and going seventy 339 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 3: percent run plays and thirty percent pass plays. 340 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 4: But we're running passing. 341 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 6: Leg still a passing league, but we are. We are 342 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 6: running and giving our passing game a chance, a chance. 343 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 5: And it helps when you're not down by twenty points, 344 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 5: no doubt immediately. 345 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 6: And that's what I'm talking about with Michael pass. 346 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 5: Because I was looking here back everything from a passing 347 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 5: that's something when he came back. 348 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 3: How about this, Since Mike has returned six games, Cowboys 349 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 3: lead the league with twenty four sacks and they are 350 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 3: third in the league with thirteen takeaways in those six 351 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 3: games since Mike has returned. And who has benefited a 352 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 3: lot also from that is Osa Digazuli. Take another away 353 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 3: from Osa's abilities, but having Micah. 354 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 4: Back the last seven people in the last. 355 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 3: Seven weeks, he leads the league with thirty two quarterback pressures. 356 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 4: Osa does. 357 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 2: Also since there's got two people blocking block. 358 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 5: And when you mentioned about running the ball, they had 359 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:54,640 Speaker 5: six games already that they attempted at least forty two 360 00:18:54,720 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 5: passes and twice in the fifties, no three times, okay, 361 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 5: fifty fifty passing attempts fifty one and fifty six. 362 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 3: And I think the coaches looked would if they look 363 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 3: back at it at the end of it went at 364 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 3: the end of the season, they look back at it 365 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 3: and they go, we abandoned the run to early youse 366 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 3: games there's a certain point in the fourth quarter where 367 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 3: you have to avand right right. But and there were 368 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,479 Speaker 3: third quarters of some of those games. 369 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 6: That's when the game changed. The third quarters, not the 370 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 6: fourth quarters. The third wars coming that have to halftime. 371 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 6: All right. 372 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 3: We got much more to get to on this edition 373 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 3: of mix Shots and just to bow it. 374 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 6: Star Sports Tours is the only official fan travel partner 375 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 6: of the Dallas Cowboys, offering exclusive game weekend travel packages 376 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 6: with the pregame, sideline access and photo ops with current players, 377 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 6: cheerleaders and Cowboy legends.

George Edwards linebackers. 427 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 3: Who's not only been with the Cowboys, but he was 428 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 3: with Mike Zimmer for a year and. 429 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 5: With the Cowboys twice, by the way, and then they 430 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 5: had a offensive assistant backed in Jason's days, Kevin Carberry. 431 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 5: He's an assistant over there. Oh and by the way, 432 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 5: we also produced two people on Tampa Bay's website, Casey Phillips, 433 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 5: Bill knows very well, and it wasn't with us, but 434 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 5: she was covering the Cowboys. Briana Dix is one of 435 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 5: their writers on Tampa or whatever they call it, Tampa 436 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 5: Bay dot com or whatever it is. I just called up. 437 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 5: The two of them were doing a three person kind 438 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 5: of talk like we're doing right now and kind of 439 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 5: previewing the game, and they were really good at it. 440 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 3: By the way, Casey Phillips has been good at it, 441 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 3: and you know, and she interned here with the Cowboys 442 00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 3: for a while, and. 443 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 4: Maybe when she was in high school. I know when 444 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 4: she was in University of Missouri. 445 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 5: But there's the common denominator right there. 446 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 3: I don't know if it's Missouri or is it South 447 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 3: Lake Carrol, because she impressed me so much when she 448 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 3: was a student. She's about the same age as my daughter, 449 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 3: and she actually started a broadcast club at South Lake 450 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,199 Speaker 3: Carroll when she was a high school kid, and she 451 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 3: played basketball. As a sophomore she made the varsity, So 452 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 3: it's you a good athlete also. But what was cool 453 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 3: kind of following her career is Okay, she was to 454 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 3: Missouri and then she worked for Disney and worked for 455 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 3: the Saint Louis Rams as well as I think the 456 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,679 Speaker 3: Washington Wizards, and got an opportunity with Tampa Bay. 457 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 4: But it's just cool when you know it. I was 458 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 4: about to say kid, but when she was. 459 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 3: Who you saw her when she was fifteen years old 460 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 3: and she had aspirations to do this, you know. And 461 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 3: then she interned at Channel eleven. She entered probably at 462 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 3: about every re broadcast entity in Dallas Fort Worth, but 463 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 3: that was how committed she was. And then to see 464 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 3: her go to Tampa Bay and then they signed Tom 465 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 3: Brady and then she's doing interviews with Tom Brady and 466 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 3: Rob Gronkowski. I mean, she's the one that's hosting these 467 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 3: and and what was really cool, which when Tampa Bay 468 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 3: won the Super Bowl and she did a little selfie 469 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 3: from the stands. 470 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 4: I mean it almost just like. 471 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 3: I started tearing up watching what you know from yeah, right, right, 472 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 3: and uh so anyway, it's it's pretty cool. 473 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 5: So we'll get to see them because she's like their 474 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 5: head TV person on the on their website or whatever 475 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 5: other shows they do. 476 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 6: By way, I wanted them. I think I mentioned it yesterday, 477 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 6: but Todd Bowles is a lover of HBCUs. He was 478 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 6: at Morehouse after he played his first I believe his 479 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 6: first coaching job was a defensive coordinator for Morehouse University 480 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:09,439 Speaker 6: HBCU in Atlanta. Not it's not in Florida on Jacksonville 481 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 6: State and you've got Grambling State. After that, that's when 482 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 6: Doug Williams was the head coach. He had come back 483 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 6: for a belief his second stint at Grambling and he 484 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 6: bought tied bowls with him. If I'm not mistaken, that 485 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 6: entire coaching staff was pretty famous, guys, you know, because 486 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 6: Doug was relying back on his boys back when he played. 487 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 6: So yeah, and then after that, that's when he went 488 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 6: to the Jets in two thousand, after he left Grambling State. 489 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 6: That for those two years in nineteen ninety eight to 490 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 6: nineteen ninety. 491 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 3: Nine, And you're familiar with his son, right, No, Troy 492 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 3: Bowles highly recruited linebacker and he was at Georgia and 493 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,880 Speaker 3: he's in the transfer portal right now. 494 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 4: So what position? Linebacker? Oh? Okay, of course stud stud linebacker. 495 00:26:58,240 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 5: So we got ties with ten. 496 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 3: When you look at their defense, we mentioned Lavonte David, 497 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 3: but their two defensive tackles, Vida Veya and Elijah Cantsey, 498 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 3: if they they have combined for twelve sacks, they each 499 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 3: have six sacks. Not so not only defending the run, 500 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 3: but getting to the quarterback. And with what the Cowboys 501 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 3: have going on with injuries in the interior of their 502 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 3: offensive line, can be a little bit of a test there. 503 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, this is a side note there. 504 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 5: So I think at the time it was asked, brock 505 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 5: Kauffman was considered the starting center because they didn't know 506 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 5: if BB was going to get back, So they asked him, 507 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 5: you know, has he studied vide Vea and you know, 508 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 5: does he know much about him? And he said, yeah, 509 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,679 Speaker 5: I was talking to beattish about it, and he was 510 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 5: clueing me in on some stuff. 511 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 6: So how about that. 512 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 5: He was using his sources to be able to scout 513 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 5: having to go up against that. 514 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 6: Against that exactly right? And It's not just how he looks, 515 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 6: it's how he plays. This young man is very he 516 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 6: got high motor. 517 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 5: You better double team him. 518 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 6: And see, that's the kind of thing that if I'm 519 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 6: the offensive line and I'm going up against him, you know, 520 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 6: you gotta feel some type of a challenge. I mean 521 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 6: not I don't mean just going in there like, oh lord, 522 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 6: I'm gonna be right. No, you gotta go in there thinking, man, 523 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 6: this is my chance. I gotta show these guys what 524 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 6: I could do. No, forget not necessarily him. I gotta 525 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 6: show my teammates they can depend on me to play 526 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 6: against a guy like that. I may not be the 527 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 6: best guy out here at that position, but I'm going 528 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 6: to show you can depend on me. I mean, at 529 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 6: one point you have. And that's what we've been seeing. 530 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 6: We've been seeing people that you can depend on. We've 531 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 6: been seeing dependability. I want that to continue. 532 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 3: Well, and not just your teammates now, but how about 533 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 3: showing this organization going forward, right because there's a you know, 534 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 3: we'll see what happens with Zach Martin. He's not obviously 535 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 3: he's not playing forever and he's likely going to retire, 536 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 3: and so he's not in the contract for next year, 537 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 3: and so they've got decisions to make on their offensive line. 538 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 3: There's there's openings at the end on that offensive line. 539 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 2: And the end has been fixed up. 540 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 6: They've been putting a little little paint on it because 541 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 6: we have been really successful at it. So they I'm 542 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 6: hoping they go into the game thinking, we're not afraid 543 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 6: of you guys. You know, we're going to challenge you 544 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 6: because they have people have been running on Tampa. It's 545 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 6: not like they've been invincible, and they've been scoring on 546 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 6: Like I said, they lost four straight. That had something 547 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 6: to do with the defense as well. So we got 548 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 6: to find those those those those cracks in the sidewalk. 549 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 5: He's three forty seven three, and I don't think it's 550 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 5: like big sloppy. 551 00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 4: Wait. 552 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 5: So to me, some owing weight, Yeah, probably stressed, Yeah, 553 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 5: I'm talking about yeah, and uh, to me, the offensive 554 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 5: coordinators got to figure out we need him going sideways 555 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 5: and get the ball out. 556 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 6: If nothing else, you just want to make sure that 557 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 6: he is handled one or two guys. You don't have 558 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 6: to blow them off the line necessarily them, just shield 559 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 6: them off. You know, let's hit them with some proper 560 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 6: plays that can give our offensive line of the chance. 561 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 6: You know, they don't have to be to where you 562 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 6: have to hold a block that long all the time. 563 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 6: There are schemes to where you can and I know 564 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 6: Nate Newton knows I'm talking about to where you can 565 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 6: just shield the guy off and the running back's gone, 566 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 6: don't I don't see him chasing too many people down 567 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 6: from behind. 568 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 5: He's got nine tackles for losses, but he has six 569 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 5: sacks and ten quarterbacks getting in the backfield. 570 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 3: Right then, the other guy who's only I think he's 571 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 3: only played nine games because he was injured earlier. He's 572 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 3: got six sacks in nine games and he was a 573 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 3: first round draft pick last year. 574 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 6: So this should be something that they should flish. Let's 575 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 6: see what we got, Let's see what we are. Yeah, 576 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 6: well that's what I talked about yesterday. Let's see what 577 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:12,719 Speaker 6: we are. 578 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 5: And the fact that those guys have sacks in the middle, 579 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 5: that's why you. 580 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 6: Gots extremely unusual, right. 581 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 5: You got to make sure. 582 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 2: Run getting off inside. 583 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, make them be run conscious first. 584 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 3: One other interesting thing that I'll be looking at on 585 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 3: Sunday night is so when you look at the center 586 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 3: for Tampa Bay Graham Barton. He was a first round 587 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 3: draft pick last year, went number twenty six overall, and 588 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 3: I know he was on the Cowboys radar and other 589 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 3: team's radar dur and at that point in the draft, 590 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 3: and the Cowboys had a decision to make on Okay, 591 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 3: do we pull a trigger on a player like that 592 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 3: and at a position like that, or do we trade down? 593 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 3: And as it turns out, the Cowboys traded down, and 594 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 3: then they got Tyler Goyton or left tack five picks later, 595 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 3: and they wound up with an extra third round pick 596 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 3: getting a center in Cooper b a center of slash guard. 597 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 3: We'll see where he winds up eventually in his career, 598 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 3: but they get Cooper BB there and so but Graham 599 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 3: Barton's doing a really good job for them as a 600 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 3: starting rookie center. And their offensive line is they have 601 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 3: they've shorted up here in the last couple of years. 602 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 3: They spent a second round pick on their right guard, 603 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 3: Cody Mock last year, and they got another first rounder starts. 604 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,479 Speaker 4: At left tackle, Test whorfs in behind them. 605 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, so they got they start two first rounders and 606 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 3: two second rounders on their offensive line. 607 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 2: So they don't mind going at them. 608 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 5: M hm. 609 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 3: So, and that's what the Cowboys have been trying to 610 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 3: do with their offensive line in the draft here in 611 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 3: the last few years, with a second rounder or rather 612 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,479 Speaker 3: a first rounder in twenty twenty two and Tyler Smith 613 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 3: first rounder this year who hasn't been ready yet but 614 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 3: we'll see where how he progresses. 615 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 5: And a third rounder. So yeah, yeah, they addressed it. Oh, 616 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 5: by the way, before we go to break, they also, 617 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 5: by the way, have seven starters listed as not practicing yesterday, 618 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 5: so they've got some issues too. But yes, this time 619 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 5: of the year, it's like for everybody in the league. 620 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 4: It's not just the Cowboys that. 621 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 5: It's it's loading practice, load manager. 622 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 4: We're deep into the season. 623 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 3: This is week sixteen, all right, And speaking of that, 624 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 3: I need to work on my load management.

Now is he getting more 705 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 6: than fifty percent of it's maybe that many, yeah, Yeah, 706 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 6: And those two sacks in the against Atlanta. 707 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 5: He got two sacks against Atlanta, had one sack. He 708 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,799 Speaker 5: only had one tackle in this game Carolina, but he 709 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 5: had a sack, a tackle for a loss, and two 710 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,400 Speaker 5: quarterback hits he had He played forty four percent of 711 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 5: the snaps. Yeah, but you knew he was out there, yes. 712 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,319 Speaker 6: And then you know he's one of those guys he 713 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,360 Speaker 6: kind of held it down until Michael came back. Yes, 714 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,760 Speaker 6: you know, and we I mean those those two sacks 715 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 6: against the Falcons, that kind of let people know that, 716 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,320 Speaker 6: you know, practice s gud practice squad players. 717 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 2: They're not just practice squad players. 718 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:24,879 Speaker 7: All the time. 719 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,120 Speaker 5: And I think the other guy. 720 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 6: They're not thinking like practice squad right right right, that's 721 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 6: what you want. 722 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:34,960 Speaker 5: And he you know, no no off season, no training camp, 723 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,319 Speaker 5: you know, no ramp up. Basically his ramp up was 724 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,840 Speaker 5: you know, being on the on the team, getting a 725 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:42,920 Speaker 5: chance to practice. 726 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,400 Speaker 6: So that's what I was always saying about a practice player. 727 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 6: It is true you said many times when a guy 728 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 6: messes up, that's why he's a practice squad player. 729 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 2: I get that. That is that is that is that 730 00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:56,400 Speaker 2: is viable. 731 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 6: But when you start talking about players that really need 732 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 6: to make a difference on the team, and we everyone 733 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,719 Speaker 6: we bring in, they're not going to be stars, but 734 00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 6: everyone we bring in are not going to play like 735 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:08,760 Speaker 6: practice squad players. 736 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:10,880 Speaker 2: And he's one of those guys, you know. 737 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,840 Speaker 6: I tell they asked me one time to send my 738 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:18,399 Speaker 6: Grambling State boys a message, you know, and they were 739 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,960 Speaker 6: asking all the alumni to send in messages to them 740 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,399 Speaker 6: to motivate them during the season. And the one thing 741 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,360 Speaker 6: I told him is don't let somebody else tell your story. 742 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 6: Don't let somebody tell you how good you are. You know, 743 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 6: we all went through it. Somebody probably told you you 744 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 6: can't write. 745 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 2: They did. And so now here you are. 746 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 6: So yeah, and Grambling, I'm sorry, not just Grammy, but 747 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 6: the Dallas Cowboys has always been a team that has 748 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:48,480 Speaker 6: had over achievers. We are known for that, Okay, I mean, 749 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,800 Speaker 6: so that's the culture here. So that's what I'm looking 750 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 6: forward to here. Somebody like laws and show me that 751 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 6: I am better than my narrative. 752 00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 5: And show that I can play like I did it 753 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,160 Speaker 5: a couple of years ago before things went south when 754 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 5: he was with the Jets because the previous year to 755 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 5: that he was a big time player. They paid him. 756 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,839 Speaker 6: And then I'm not I really look forward to him 757 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,960 Speaker 6: doing I really look forward to him doing more with us, right, 758 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,279 Speaker 6: I'm talking about No. One tackle games. Now, that was 759 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:25,399 Speaker 6: a weird game Sunday where it was extremely balanced as 760 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 6: far as our defensive attack. You have a bunch of people, 761 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 6: a lot of tackles. 762 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 5: And I think what you what they made a priority 763 00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:34,800 Speaker 5: is to make sure this dude stays in the pocket. 764 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,800 Speaker 5: Yes he got out the one time. 765 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,800 Speaker 6: But they even stopped the Tuba. Yeah, they stopped Cuba 766 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 6: from getting his hundred yards if I'm not mistaken. And 767 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,200 Speaker 6: this is a guy that was doing running very well 768 00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 6: before that game, and we controlled him. 769 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,640 Speaker 5: And I think people need to also understand that Tampa Bay, 770 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:58,799 Speaker 5: while they're in first place in the NFC South, they 771 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,440 Speaker 5: only got a one game in Atlanta on Atlanta and 772 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 5: they realize that they got beat by Atlanta twice. So 773 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,759 Speaker 5: if there's any any ties they're out. 774 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,720 Speaker 6: They're a totally different team now, Isn't that crazy? Yeah, 775 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:15,520 Speaker 6: both teams are totally different teams now. 776 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 5: So they've got to they've got to maintain a one 777 00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:23,400 Speaker 5: game lead on the Falcons, otherwise they're in trouble. So 778 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:27,280 Speaker 5: they're somewhat of a desperate team that you know, depending 779 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 5: on what Atlanta keeps doing, they got to keep winning two. 780 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:32,279 Speaker 5: They almost need to win out. 781 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:33,640 Speaker 2: We have seen. 782 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 6: Games where that narrative is facing another team coming into 783 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:45,040 Speaker 6: the stadium, right at and T Stadium, and we've played 784 00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,200 Speaker 6: like that, meaning we put the pressure on them from 785 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 6: play one. We haven't really done that this year, you 786 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 6: know at home right, we really haven't done that this year. 787 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,240 Speaker 6: There are games we've come out in the past, many 788 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,320 Speaker 6: games where we are bringing it to them right away. 789 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,359 Speaker 6: We score on the first drive, not field goals. We're 790 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,680 Speaker 6: talking touchdowns. You know, we got the sacks, we're doing 791 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 6: all of that. We can play like that in this game. 792 00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:12,319 Speaker 2: We can't. 793 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 6: We can get back to that because we used to 794 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 6: do that all the time. And if we do that, 795 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:21,080 Speaker 6: I think we could intimidate these guys because they're coming here. 796 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,799 Speaker 6: Put the put the pressure, put the pressure that coming here, 797 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 6: we're not going there. 798 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,440 Speaker 2: They're coming here, and we need to make them feel that. 799 00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:29,680 Speaker 6: You know, I know, I don't know what the crowd 800 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 6: is going to look like, but I don't need a big, big. 801 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 5: Crowded a bunch of rent watch it right. The other thing? 802 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 5: Uh so, okay, you win the toss when you're doing 803 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 5: I'm taking the ball, taking the ball. 804 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 6: I'm taking the ball because and I'm running it. I'm 805 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,000 Speaker 6: gonna run it down their throats. And every time we 806 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,480 Speaker 6: gain my my crowd is going to be going crazy, right, 807 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,319 Speaker 6: And that's the whole thing. Also, this, this crowd needs 808 00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,000 Speaker 6: to understand this is a different culture we have here now. 809 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:00,760 Speaker 2: You know, we don't have the dacks. 810 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,000 Speaker 6: You know, we don't have you know, the fancy wide 811 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,320 Speaker 6: receivers running all over the place. We got just CD 812 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:10,160 Speaker 6: doing this thing, working hard. That's what we've turned into 813 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,279 Speaker 6: right now. We are not the team that we were 814 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,360 Speaker 6: last year. I don't mean that we don't have the talent, 815 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,239 Speaker 6: but we certainly don't have the same game plan. 816 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,839 Speaker 5: Yeah, because a lot of a lot of times I hear, well, 817 00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,080 Speaker 5: this team was twelve and five last year. Well this 818 00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:22,919 Speaker 5: ain't that team. 819 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:23,839 Speaker 2: This ain't that team. 820 00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:25,919 Speaker 6: We are totally different, right, And they were fussing about 821 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 6: us being twelve and five last two three years anyway, 822 00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:30,959 Speaker 6: So don't worry about what the record is right now. 823 00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:32,680 Speaker 2: We just need to make the damn playoffs. 824 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,520 Speaker 5: Would you take twelve and will take twelve and five 825 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 5: right now? 826 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,719 Speaker 6: And that's I'm sure a lot of those people that 827 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,120 Speaker 6: were complaining it looks good to them too. 828 00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:43,840 Speaker 2: It looks a lot better than it was used to do. 829 00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,000 Speaker 5: So everybody was like, oh, this is a Sunday night game. 830 00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,520 Speaker 5: They're gonna change, you know, they'll change. This is a 831 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 5: big game for both teams, right. 832 00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,919 Speaker 6: Just think about that Sunday night. Put the pressure on them, 833 00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,839 Speaker 6: Put the pressure on them, show them a nationwide television So. 834 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:03,319 Speaker 5: I think it was NFL network. They figured out, you know, 835 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:08,040 Speaker 5: how they do with the percentage chances and going to 836 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:15,200 Speaker 5: the playoffs, right, and obviously like Detroit, Minnesota, Green Bay, 837 00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,680 Speaker 5: they're all either one hundred percent they're going to go 838 00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:22,239 Speaker 5: to the playoffs, Philadelphia or somewhere in the nineties. Then 839 00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:27,440 Speaker 5: you get down to the bottom.
