Now your hosts, Barry Church, Danny McCray, and 0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:30.720 Neui Scrugs. Here we are on a Thursday. Everybody. Welcome 0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:34.239 to the Players on batty By Hotels dot Com. It's 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.040 about the players on this show. To former Dallas Cowboys 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:39.640 safety's Barry Church, who's in studio right now with me 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:43.000 and Danny McCray, the Ultimate Survivor. Danny was on Survivor 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:45.000 last night. He's got the day off. He's doing some 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:47.360 work on assignment here, so he's down there in Houston. 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:48.960 I don't know if he got to go watch the 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:52.200 Astros get gained two of it. They ended up getting 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:53.840 out once, so I know he was banging on some 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:57.280 trash can after that victory. Man. I know, yes, yes, 0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:59.640 the Astros are trying to get this thing done. I 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:02.480 am if Dusty Baker wins the manager. I'll be happy 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:05.920 for Dusty, even if he's winning with them. I said, 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:11.040 it's I don't care about the Astros. I like Dusty 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:14.320 Baker a respect who's gone through some things, and man, 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.640 what about your boy with Ron? And that was the 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:19.160 next thing was out of my mouth is if Dusty 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:21.640 doesn't win, then I'll be happy for Ron Washington, third 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:23.760 base coach of the Braves, who was a manager with 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:25.920 the Texas Rangers and hopefully can be the man next 0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:27.959 manager of the San Diego Padre. So either way, I'm 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:29.920 gonna be happy. You win it for two long time 0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:35.600 guys who who deserved rings. All right, So Shaun Lee, Yeah, 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:37.800 we got the man in him. Okay, Shaun Lee number 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:42.720 fifty with the Dallas Cowboys. When you just talk about professionals, 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:44.360 that's the word I think of Shaun Lee without a 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.400 doubt when he played for the Dallas Cows. It's just 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:51.000 a pure professional. And you say that word, but church 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:55.000 you look at a guy like Ben Simmons, Okay, professional 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.520 there last year, James Hard with what he was going 0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:59.760 through with the right profession there's a lot of guys. 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.680 That word doesn't apply to very talented people. Yeah, and 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.680 that word applies to Sean Lee one hundred percent fold. 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:09.960 I mean this, dude, when you talk about a constant 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.320 professional and just a student of the game, I don't 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:15.440 think I've ever been around anybody who's been quite like 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:17.240 him when it comes to study in this game. I mean, 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:20.200 this guy put so much pressure on himself to be 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:22.480 that guy, to be the leader of his defense, to 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.240 be the key playmaker of his defense. And when he 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.600 was healthy, I mean, I would say he was arguably 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:29.880 one of the top linebackers in the NFL. Win healthy. 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:31.679 The only thing that kind of drew him back a 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:33.720 little bit was those injuries that you know, seemed to 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.080 happen throughout the end of his career, towards the middle 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.000 of the end of part of his career. But while healthy, 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:39.600 this guy is one of the best linebackers I've ever 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:43.000 seen a student of the game. The way he dissected things, 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:46.800 it was very Peyton Manning Drew Brees like, like, I mean, 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:48.680 would he would know exactly all right, when all right, 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:50.560 that guard's pulling this way or doing the pitch. I 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.040 mean a lot of the tackles I made was just 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:53.880 from listening to this guy, it's coming your way, Church 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:55.600 is coming your way. I'm like, oh, all right, let's 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:57.799 do it. Then let's get it going. So that guy 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:01.000 helped my game out a ton, and he helped everybody 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.560 around him a ton, and there was defenses where we 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:05.880 had no business even being on the field. But that 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:09.519 guy just had everybody going in the right direction. And 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.239 I mean, you just can't say enough about this guy. 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.760 I think of linebackers who vocal leaders and guys who 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.200 who performed well on the field. I think Ray Lewis, 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:22.800 I think Luke Keithley, Bobby Wagner and Sean Lee was 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:25.240 up there in that same ilk in terms of just 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.760 being able to make a defense better, know what whatever 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.200 I need to do? All right, it sounds like we 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:33.480 could hear hear the birds chirping in uh in Santa Barbara, beautiful, 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.119 I can hear you, guys, can you hear me? Yeah? Yeah, 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.280 we got you, man, we got he made it to 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:44.280 what's up? What's up? I think let's go. Let's go. Man. 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.240 It looks amazing, right are you? Are you in Santa 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.440 Barbara right now? It looks amazing in the background. Man, 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:53.640 I am in Santa Barbara right now. And I've become 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:57.360 spoiled being out here. Believe me, I can believe that. 0:03:57.600 --> 0:03:59.160 I'm not gonna lie. I have gotten spoiled. I've got 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:03.280 spoiled with the weather and Um, listen, lost all my 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.320 street cred coming out here. He lost a little bit 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.200 of the street cred, brother, and I'm stuck. I lost 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:09.720 a lot of my street cred, you know that. And 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:11.240 you've lost some of yours too. Don't like like you 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:12.880 have any of this is true. This is true. I 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.040 lost the tad been out there, man. So so what's 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.000 what you've been up to? Man? Since since your playing 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:22.600 days have been done? What you've been up to? Um? 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.720 You know what. I've been playing some basketball at the 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.679 y n C. A UM. My game is slowly getting 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.240 to get back to that high school form. But that's 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:38.800 been my competitive outlet. Um, working out a lot, a 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:40.760 little bit of work for the scouting department, having a 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:44.240 lot of fun learning from those guys at different perspective 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.680 on football and seeing all the work they put in, 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:49.520 the level of detail that they work with, you know, 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:51.039 not only in the pro side of it, but the 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:55.200 college side of it. Finding guys going get different colleges, 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.560 searching things out and learning the tricks of the trade 0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:59.160 from those guys. Has been a lot of fun. So 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.479 still a football a little bit and it's been great. 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:03.560 That's awesome, man. So so you're doing a little bit 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.600 of scouting for the Cowboys here, you're grading the linebackers. 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.560 What to me has what to you has stood out 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:11.520 about this this linebacker corps. I mean, I know we 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.440 got Parsons in there, Keyan O'Neil in there, and they 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:16.560 seem to be able to turn this defense around. You know, 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:18.840 what have you seen from this linebacking corps so far 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:23.760 this season? I mean when you start with Mica, first 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.200 thing as a rookie, to make as many plays and 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:30.920 handle I know, Church we can talk about as a rookie. 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:32.680 I mean we got in the field, you were just 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.440 trying to get lined up, do your job exactly, and 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.800 just not making mistake. I mean, making plays was another thing. 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.039 You were just trying to not make mistakes. And for 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.479 a young guy to come in and play on the 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.360 line of scrimmage, to play middle linebacker, to play outside linebacker, 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.240 and do all the things he's done, it's incredible. I mean, 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:53.279 he's he's obviously an outrageous athlete and having that type 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.720 of speed at that size is almost unheard of, you know, 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:58.640 And and they've asked him, like I've said, they've asked 0:05:58.640 --> 0:05:59.720 them to do a lot to be able to go 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.840 to the become a defensive end, and really, I don't 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:06.360 think he's rushed consistently as a defensive end since high school. 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:08.479 And to come in and be able to make plays 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.239 and dominate that position, I mean, it really is absurved 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.240 what he's been able to do. And I love watching 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:16.200 him on film with the intensity, the hustle, the speed 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.920 he plays with. And then they you know, Keano is 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:24.240 obviously another great athlete who's played safety but moves extremely well, 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:29.040 plays with such physicality, toughness, instincts. You know, he's been 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:30.760 fun to watch. And then you know my guy Layton, 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:34.080 who is an unbelievable football player in all Pro. A big, 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:37.040 long guy who can cover so much ground, plays with instincts, 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:39.400 plays tough. So you put all those guys in there, 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:43.400 the type of athleticism, some of the experience along with 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.320 the whole defense man, they're playing the right way. If 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.760 I don't know what you think, Church, but that it's 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:50.800 one thing to make plays. It's another thing weekend and 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:52.760 week out to play with a certain type of effort. 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:55.760 And they've done that. Yeah, they're they're flying around the 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.599 football right now. And another guy wanted to talk about 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.760 a little bit as a guy at know we played 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:03.000 with in his earlier years and he had a little 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:04.880 he had a rocky start in his earlier years. And 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:08.520 I'm talking about Randy Gregory. What type of transformation have 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:10.240 you seen from this guy? Because he you know, we 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.040 were there in an early stages when it was a 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.000 little bumpy, But now he seems to have gotten his 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:16.840 stuff together and he's proven on his football field that 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:19.280 he can be dynamic at the defensive end position. What 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:23.360 are your thoughts on Randy Gregory going forward. I'm so 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:25.600 happy for him because you know, we've all you know Randy, 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.960 he's such a great guy who's always loved football, and 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:32.600 he dealt with some stuff early in his career, but 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:34.880 he always was trying to be proactive handling it. And 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:38.000 you got to give him credit for reaching out, working 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:42.080 on himself consistently, trying to come back and improve. But 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.440 I've known since the day one put him on the 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:47.840 line of scrimmage. Is there a guy with a get 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:51.320 off like him who can bend with the flexibility and 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:53.720 plays with that type of motor. I mean, he is 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:56.240 a rare guy and he's showing it right now. I 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:59.200 mean he's dominating. Last game last week, I mean the 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:02.480 type of game he had against New England. He has 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:05.280 the two sacks, he has a holding call that that 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:07.760 brings back a touchdown, and then the next play is 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:10.400 that is a strip sack that changes the game. I mean, 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.520 he is a complete game changer. He's one of the 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:15.080 best defensive players in the league right now, and he's 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.560 a catalyst for this defense. And listen, if you had 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:19.120 told us that a couple of years ago, you would 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.240 hope for that because of the type of player in 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:24.200 person he is. But I mean, you know, he took 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:26.240 there was a lot of time off, and it's not 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:28.360 easy to take time off and come back and to 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:30.840 see him do what he's doing, Man, it's incredible. He's 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.360 a great guy and he deserves all the credit in 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:36.520 the world. This is the player's line body by Hotels 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:39.840 dot Com. Barry Church Sean lead to former Dallas Cow 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:43.319 which to Western Pennsylvania YUS. Oh yeah, whip your baby. 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:45.560 Both deciding they don't want to live in a winner 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:47.680 in their retirement years. They want to live in Western Princi. 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:53.439 Baba want to be nice weather here and so you know, 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.080 Sean the background over there Santa Barbara looks great and 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.240 it just made me think, since we saw Survivor last 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:01.240 night with Danny mccraig, maybe that next challenge for you man, 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:08.160 get you. Oh Danny, Danny's made for Survivor. He's you know, 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.719 he's slicked. Danny knows how to dan, he knows how 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.200 to maneuver. He knows work room, you know what I mean, 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:15.760 he goes out a working room. I can't do that 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:17.839 like him. Man, I think i'd be, I'd be. I 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:20.560 wouldn't make the cut after week one. They filled me 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:25.960 off the island quick, you know. Oh Man, So you know, 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:28.320 but I'm rooting for Danny. I love Danny and he's, 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.160 you know, great football player. I think back when we 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:34.000 were rookies and we were playing special teams together and 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:38.520 watching you and Danny as rookies just completely dominate and 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:43.480 me just really struggle on teams, especially in preseason. And 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.880 does YouTube just making it easy and and and talk 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:49.520 about two guys that I loved playing with and you 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.800 know him and then you as an inspiration. I mean, 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:55.360 you don't give yourself enough credit for getting people lined up, 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:58.200 the instinct you played with the leadership you displayed you know, 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.560 I hoped you make some place where you you helped 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:02.800 me make a ton of plays. And the confidence that 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:05.280 I had knowing you were behind me Church and knowing 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:08.160 Danny was was playing shafety and running on special teams 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:10.200 was fun. Fun to play with both you guys. Man. Man, 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:11.880 I loved every bit of it. Man. But you know, 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:13.240 a lot of a lot of you know, a lot 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:15.800 of people don't realize about this about Sean, but he 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.440 was a hell of a basketball player in high school 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:20.120 and whip you in the in the Western PA he 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:21.760 was well, he was a twenty one in ten guy 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:26.120 coming out of high school. Right, Yeah. I mean there's 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.760 an argument to say that Western PA basketball is not 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:32.080 that good, and it's a hard argument to win for me. 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:37.720 So but I loved playing I loved I loved playing basketball. 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.680 You know. When I was fifteen years old, I you know, 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:42.800 I was trying to be on the AU circuit, trying 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:44.960 to play I mean, I wanted to play play basketball 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:46.800 in the worst way. But um, you know, my game 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.160 didn't really match up to my height. You know, six two. 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.160 I thought it was going to be at least six 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:54.120 to five, and it just did. Gotten came around, So 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:56.800 I didn't come around, So I started. I started getting 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:58.800 the weight room. I started getting in the weight room, 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:02.440 you know, kind of focus on Yeah. You know, it's 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.959 funny how you get older and then all of a sudden, 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:07.920 everybody keeps growing and you don't. And they can shoot 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:10.240 as well as you can and dribble in their six seven. 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:14.040 You know, you got problems. Okay, I got a question 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:16.280 for both them. Yeah, but I loved it during your 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:18.480 time with the Cowboys. Question for both of you, who 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:21.200 was the best basketball player on the team. Oh hey, 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:23.800 so you take that one first, man, take that one first? 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.440 I would I mean, I think bees was pretty good. 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.760 Yeah he was. I mean Beasley was crazy quick and 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:34.160 could shoot, could handle, and he could sky for you know, 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:35.760 he's not a tall guy, but I mean he could. 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:37.720 He could get up and play about the rim. So 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:40.160 just I mean, pound for pound, I would have to 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:43.920 argue him now, being that I, you know, was tearing 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:47.280 AHL's and pulling handstrings left and right. I didn't. I 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:49.480 didn't play a lot of I didn't play a lot 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:54.280 of basketball in the offseason until now, so so I 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:55.959 didn't get to actually play. I didn't get to play 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:58.960 against guys A lot um. But I just know from 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.240 from hearing things Beasley, I know, I know Dez was great. 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:03.160 You know, we would play a little bit. You know, 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:05.760 back in Oxnard, they had the hoop, and so we 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:09.120 would play a little bit out there in the parking lot. 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:11.920 And you know, Dez had that lefty shot and could 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:14.640 shoot um and there are a couple of guys who 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.000 could really play and and they ended up moving that hoop. 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.120 I think things got could two gets too competitive out 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:24.720 the yeah yeah, dead dead legs on after after a 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:27.200 off day shouldn't happen. And half the reason why we 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.120 were playing basketball in that court out of doubt. What 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.720 about Romo? Because I keep hearing things about Romo Romo, 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.200 I should He's gonna He's not gonna be happy. He's 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:37.200 not gonna be happy. That ever bring Roma could play, 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:40.439 I mean, super super slick, great shot. I mean when 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.920 it comes to hand eye coordination, I don't know, he's 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.160 one of the best I've ever seen. I mean, can 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:48.160 play pinball, can play golf, can shoot the basketball, can 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:51.800 shoot the basketball, playing pull basketball. I mean unbelievable set 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.720 of hands on him, and and crafty like a crafty athlete, 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:58.120 like sneaky uses his body well, was quick and um 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:01.720 great body control. So no, he can play too. Definitely, 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:03.440 he definitely got some game to him as well as 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:05.560 Marty B. Marty B had a he had a little 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.160 game to him as well playing at Tess and he 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:09.920 had a little game to him as well. But I 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:12.000 gotta ask this question before we let you get up 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:14.840 out of there. Man. So the guy at corner right now, 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.080 Trey Von Diggs. I mean, he's playing some of the 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.280 best ball that I've seen in a long time out 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:22.680 of a corner. To you, what makes him so special 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:24.920 at that corner on the outside, because not a lot 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:28.720 of guys can do what he's doing so far. I 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:31.040 think Number one, if he gets a great break on 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:33.480 the ball, it's not just a PBu it's a pick. 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:37.320 So go ahead and throw the ball near him. If 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.360 he gets anything close to a great break, it's gonna 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:42.480 be it's gonna be an interception. He's got unbelievable speed 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:44.480 to make up. To make up if he's behind. You've 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:46.679 seen him a bunch of times, whether it's on an 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:49.199 over route, whether it's on a deep post. He's been 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:51.160 behind a couple of times. But he's got that makeup 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.640 speed to be able to go and get the ball, 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:55.719 and then just his footwork and technique. I mean he 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:58.800 gets better and better. His toughness, how he plays with 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:01.920 you know, the tenacity of Hey, maybe he gives up 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:04.560 one play, but the next thing he is covering as 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:06.200 hard as he can. I mean we talked about this 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.560 last year. Church Washington him in training camp. I'm like, 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:11.839 this guy is something special. Yeah. I mean he had 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.320 this one practice in training camp last year or he 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:16.800 had four or five picks and I'd never seen a 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:18.839 rookie play like that. And I'm like, wait, he was 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.040 the second round pick. How he's as good as I've 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:23.040 ever seen as a rookie, and he got a little 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:24.880 banged up. I think he got a little banged up 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:26.360 early in the year, and I think he was playing 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:29.120 with a brace and still playing great, still still covering 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.040 receivers really well. I mean that you know, had a 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:34.480 couple of interceptions or came close, and then when he 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:36.160 got healthy. I mean, I think it was a game 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.360 in Philadelphia, we had two picks. One way, he ran 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:40.640 all the way across the field, dove out of bounds 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:42.360 in the end zone and made this incredible play. I mean, 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:45.840 you just saw last year these incredible plays and as 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:49.320 the consistency grew, I mean, the guy has just been incredible. 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:50.760 And we talked about it last year Church, We said, 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:52.120 we think he's going to be one of the best, 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:54.360 not only corners, one of the best players in the league. 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:56.680 And he show he's shown it this year. He's unbelievable, 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:58.520 it would out of doubt. My last question for you, 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:02.200 Sean is looking at the Vikings game on Sunday night, 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:05.680 There's a good stat I heard on Hanging with the 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.600 Boys podcast right before us fifty three percent of Minnesota's 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.120 runs have been up the middle. So what are the 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:13.520 linebackers have to do? Is they face Dalvin Cook and 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:17.120 Alexander Madison in this football game. And Kirk Cousins, by 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:22.480 the way, only has two interceptions right now, thirteen touchdowns play. 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.520 They're they're they're doing it very well when it comes 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:25.920 to running and passing the ball. But what are the 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:27.760 linebackers needs to focus on and how did they get 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:31.840 this stop this run stopped? Well, they're talented on They're 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.040 talented on both sides of the ball. I mean, offensively, 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:36.720 they have you know, two a couple receivers that they 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:39.400 can go to. Kirk cousins Man is a really good 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:42.560 quarterback who when he is hot, he can get really hot. 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:44.520 And he's tough to play against. And the running game 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:47.200 is tough. You know, the zone Dalvin is unbelievable. He's 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:50.720 got great footwork. He's really hard to bring down. He's 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:53.880 when you could have him in a tight area and 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:55.920 his feet are so good and his hips are so strong. 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:58.360 You got to do everything you can to bring him down. 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:02.560 He runs that zone you cut back running scheme as 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:04.840 well as anybody. And the whole offense is hard hard 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.400 to play against. When they're rolling, um, you know, you 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:09.800 get the boots, you get the play action, you get 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:11.440 the run. They can do it at all levels and 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:13.640 they're really good at it. And then defensively they have 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:17.280 two really good linebackers, a great safety, two defensive ends 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:20.080 with a ton of speed and so um, you know, 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:22.440 they didn't get off to a great start, but I 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.000 still think this is a really good football team. Is 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:25.960 gonna be huge test. I mean this is you know, 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.320 don't sometimes you say you play a team and you know, 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:30.480 you look at the tape and you're like, sometimes their 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:33.160 record doesn't match up and it's and I believe that 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:34.560 with this team, this is gonna be a tough test. 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:39.440 Sean Lee, the Great, the General Number fifty Penn states 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:41.360 fin As.
