This is the Players Lounge, 0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:22.280 broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the Star. 0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:27.920 Now your hosts Barry Church, Danny McCray, and new He scrugs, 0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:33.360 all right here we are Players Lounge here on a 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:36.879 Tuesday afternoon. Knew, he scrugs, longtime Cowboys? Would he joined 0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:40.080 by number forty two, buried Church, number forty Danny McCray 0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:44.879 with the with the day off here, So um, you 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:47.480 would be fine if you still play for Jacksonville. Oh yeah, 0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:51.159 you rot in here, chrisp went Berry rolling here at 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:57.320 thirty seconds. Yeah yeah, n yard dads. But you made it. 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:00.400 I made it. You made it. Tom Cofflin got me 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:03.240 for about twenty thousand, right there? Is that what he 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:05.520 me it was about. I think if you're late to meetings, 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:07.640 which is meetings started at nine, but you're not there 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.479 by eight fifty five, it's gonna run you about five grand. 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:14.160 And he's not gonna know if answer butts about it 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:16.120 like you're coming out of that money. It's correct. And 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:19.039 so so here's my question on explain to just our 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.160 the folks who check our show out. How does that work? 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:24.240 Do you have to write him a check? Do they 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:26.080 deduct that from your check? I mean, how does that? 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:28.080 But that's just coming straight about the check. Like when 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:31.120 you get your your weekly you know, whatever team you're with. 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.000 You know, some teams go every two weeks. Some teams 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:36.280 go every week. The Jacksonville was every week. So if 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:38.319 you're late for that meeting, however many times you gotta 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:41.520 fine that week, that following Tuesday, you'll get that check 0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:45.640 and you'll just see deductions minus minus minus minus that 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:47.360 you can go talk to him about it, like, hey, 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:49.640 what's up with this? But I promise you ten out 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:51.720 of ten times Coughlin was gonna hit you with the 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:53.760 hey man, it's just just how we do things here, 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.720 go about your way. So then what did they do 0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:59.080 with that? And that was the messed up part. So 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:03.560 all these fine accumulate over the over the season. I'm 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:06.440 talking about at least a couple hundred thousand and fines 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:10.440 accumulate over the and magically it all went to the 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.760 Tom Coughlin fund. Stop it. It went to his like 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:18.120 charity charity. Yeah, he has it every year, and it 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:21.880 would all just magically go towards that like, and people 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:23.600 started to ask. That's why it came up because I 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:25.679 was like, where's all this fine money going. They're like, well, 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.359 we don't know. You know, the next thing we know 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:32.160 at the Players, at the Players Championship Golf loutle outing, 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:36.160 they have all those funds. This hole brought to you 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:40.480 by Barry Church. I'm telling that sponsored at least two 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:43.680 or three of those holes. Sponsored at least two or 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:47.840 three of them. Okay, so how do rookies figure it out? 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.600 Because okay, you're fine, You're fine. Then you see it. 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:52.480 I mean, it's a whole different thing when you see 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:55.120 it minus from the check. Yeah, So how did rookies 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:57.840 deal with it? When they the rookies, they were just 0:02:58.000 --> 0:02:59.600 I mean it would call off guard because you know, 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:00.959 I was like, on the least, I make a little 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.040 bit of money, and you know those deductions, you know 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:05.400 they're big deductions. But you're like, man, all right, whatever 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:07.640 you kind of ethos. But as a rookie, you're coming 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:11.000 in that week, you might only make you know, fifteen 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:15.440 grand and if he's taking five and this is before taxes, 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:17.839 so it's like you ain't he's taking all that out 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:19.799 of there, and as a rookie, You're like, man, what 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:21.360 in the what am I supposed to do with this? 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.760 How am I supposed to go about it? But they 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.000 learned quick. They learned quick. They better be at fifty 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:30.520 five fifty Okay, So here Tom Coughlin wasn't even the 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:34.640 head coach. That was next thing I was about. That 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.720 was the next thing. I was just as well have 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:40.360 been the heck, this dude was done, he say. He 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:44.160 was on the practice field literally with his notepad. He 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.760 ain't doing too good. He would tap Dug go do that, 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.480 Go do that. This guy was basically the head coach. 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:53.920 I mean he ran pretty much everything practice wise. He 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:55.800 would come in. You know how we do morning meetings 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:57.480 and the coach is supposed to address the team and 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.800 all that. He would come in and address the team, 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:03.760 and I'm like, where's dug Ron at this? I signed 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:05.200 here to play man, but I don't, you know, It's 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.520 like I guess confidence I head coaches. But that didn't 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:10.440 last too long. As we saw. He was gone, yeah, 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.480 you can't operate like you can't. I mean, you can't 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.040 operate that. He lost the locker room. I mean from 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:16.520 the from the jump he lost the locker room. If 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:18.920 we weren't if we weren't good that first year, I mean, 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:20.560 there would have been a mutinity right there. But we 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.520 were winning games, so winning pretty much resolves everything. But 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.800 when we started losing, you saw all types of reports 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.039 coming out of me. Ramsey ain't happy, this guy wants 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:31.520 to leave. It was crazy. It was crazy. So let's 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.719 let's dive into the Cowboys. And last night you and 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.080 I were both here at the four Centers. They held 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.720 an open practice for the fans. Fans with their opportunity 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.200 to come in and check out the Cowboys because last 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:44.760 year couldn't do that because because of the pandemic. Show 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:48.360 fans are out there this year. Uh. These two little 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.520 girls were were sitting next to me. I gave them 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:55.080 my seats as I left after doing my six PMTV show, 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.080 and they wanted to see Dak Prescott. So we kind 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:00.400 of broke it down to him. He'll be out here, 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:04.480 but he's not going to practice fully, but you'll see 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:09.000 him make some throws, yea. And before the practice started, 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.080 Mike McCarthy comes out and says, all right, look, we're 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:14.920 gonna be cautious with Dak Prescott. He will not play 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.480 against Jacksonville in the final preseason game, because Mike McCarthy 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:21.240 feels that that's that's basically the scouts game, the kids game. 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:22.920 You know, the guy's trying to make the team, young 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:26.120 guys game. So no significant starter is gonna play in 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:28.919 that Jacksonville game. And he said, yeah, I won't be 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.760 bothered if he doesn't play against Houston. That to me 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:36.400 sounds the the hey, he's not playing. Yeah, but you've 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.320 been in the locker rooms before, you understand the coach 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.080 speak exactly. Is that what he's saying, he's playing? Okay, 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:42.800 that's I mean, I'm with you one out a hunter, 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:45.640 but I'll be shocked if he trots out there for 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:47.640 that Houston game. What I would love to see him 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:51.080 get maybe a series or two, Yes, but I think 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:54.720 that shoulder injury maybe a little bit, a little bit 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:58.000 uh worse than than than than they're putting on. But 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:00.719 I want to see him because you want you want 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:02.799 to see this guy go out there and his first 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:07.360 significant reps after eight months off or whatever, how lover 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:09.200 how long it was with that ankle injury. Do you 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.640 want to see him go out there against Shaq Barrett 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:16.520 JPP the Dominican sue. That defense that basically haunted Drew 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.640 Brees Mahomes. That defense can fly around and they can 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:21.800 get after the quarterback. Do we want to see his 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:26.159 first meaningful reps against that Tampa Bay defense? To me, 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:30.200 I don't but that injury, it's just not worth risking 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.320 it in the preseason. So I understand what they coming 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:34.719 from where I'm not playing them at all, but I'm 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:36.680 not so sure I want him being that rusty going 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.159 out there against that type of defense. All right, Barry 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:41.800 Church right here on the Players Last brought to you 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.400 by Hotels dot Com, I will play Devil's advocate. All right, 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.040 let's see what you got. You're Mike McCarthy, You roll 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.680 out DAC for a series and somehow this guy gets hurt. 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:52.640 How do you go explain this to Jerry Jones? Yeah, 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.400 it's over there. Yeah, he takes a sack, something happen, 0:06:55.360 --> 0:07:01.120 mean whatever, anything, Yeah, he comes up with a third like, oh, mcgrowing, 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.000 I mean so, so I look at it from the 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:07.479 standpoint of just self preservation. If you're Mike McCarthy, you 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.920 tried out for in a game that means nothing against 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.520 the Houston team and you don't know. You can't control 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:17.680 how they come after him. That's true. That's true. Um, 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:23.320 there you go. Tony Romo Seattle, how dad got hit? 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.960 Did to play? This is true? This is didn't really 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:30.560 seem like much. And he said, I'm a good I 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.560 was there asking Tony the questions with the other men. 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:41.000 I'm fine, don't worry about it. That was determined to 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:44.800 be a lie. So what what happened for Jason Garrett? 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.480 There were people questioning him. I didn't question Jason Garrett 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.440 about that because you know what, Tony needed to play. Yeah, 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:54.119 he played. This is what happened. So when I look 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:57.080 at Mike McCarthy's in he's not gonna play, you know 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.200 that he most likely won't play against Houston. And Stephen 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:00.720 Jones bakes like, hey, I won't have any issues if 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:02.840 he doesn't play against Houston. Your boss is saying, okay, 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.440 we're cool. Then yeah. The first snaps will be on 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:09.360 Thursday night football against the world champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:12.560 which comes back into something that you and I spoke 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.560 about along with our other colleague Danny mccraige. There needs 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:17.720 to be a whole lot of twenty one oh yeah, 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:21.240 I'm talking about down the throats. He's looked great in him. 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:23.360 I will say this, he's looked great, he's slimmed down. 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:26.160 I can no longer say he's a fool back. I 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.480 could just go by the old twenty ones that he 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:32.560 looks good, he looks explosive and past this first game, 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:34.400 I think we need to feed this man the rock. 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:36.680 I think we need to just pile it up. I 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:38.600 mean when he gets tired, but toy pilot in there 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:40.559 for a little bit. But we need to feed this 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:44.120 man the rock. If we go back in time twenty sixteen, 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.240 when he had arguably one of his best seasons, and 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:48.199 as a whole, we had one of our best season, 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:52.120 that was the formula we were running the rock, preserving 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.800 our defense. Throw that out. You got to throw it out. 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:56.640 Here's why you throw it out because it's a different 0:08:56.679 --> 0:09:00.520 coaching staff. That's true. So you're asking, you're asking a 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:02.960 guy whose track record has been to throw, throw, throw, 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.600 to adopt what Jason Garrett was doing here. I don't 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:09.720 see that happening. Kellen wore as well. I don't see 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.800 them doing that necessarily to say, hey, we're gonna go 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.760 back to the twenty sixteen blueprint. But I do feel 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:20.120 that whether he's catching it on those screen passes if 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:23.439 we've seen them really put together some nice screen passes 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.640 here at these training camp practices, But figure out a 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:29.640 way to get him touches, you know, more so than carries. 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:32.640 My word I'm gonna use with Zeke Ellis touches. How 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.679 many touches can you get this guy? I don't care 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:37.679 if you just throw them a pass, swing pass right 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:39.720 out of the backfield, or you do it screens. What 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.640 just get this man touches? And add Tony Pollard in 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.160 there as well. So if you're not gonna play that Prescott, 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:47.719 my immediate thought process is you got to figure out 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:49.640 how to win the line of scrimmage with your offensive 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:53.959 line and run this football. And oh, by the way, 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:58.200 keep Tom Brady and that offense off the field, because 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:00.360 you know what they're gonna do. They're gonna have a long, 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:05.080 sustained drive and they're gonna wear that defense out. So 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.000 if we go back on that field as an offense 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:08.839 and we go immediately three and out, let's just say 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.680 we maybe run once we throw throw and we go 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:13.319 out there and go three and out, They're going to 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.960 wear our defense down and out, and this is not 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:17.520 going to be a game in the second half. So 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.160 I think, like you said, I like what we're get 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.600 into touches with Zeke. I would just love for them 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:24.280 to just go ahead and pound it. And I notice 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.760 is not there. Their formulatus is not you know, the 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:28.960 Mike McCarthy treat This is not what he comes from. 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.640 But we need something because if we go back to 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:33.520 what we did last year, playing mad and throwing the 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:35.640 ball all over the yard, you know, forty or fifty times, 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:38.080 I don't think we'll be successful. Now, you know that's 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:41.880 just me thinking that, but you know, I don't think 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.400 we'll be successful going about that way, at least until 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:47.000 Dak is fully acclimated back into the season. Then maybe 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.040 we start throwing them a little bit more. But I 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.160 just think we gotta get established on this run game. Zeke. 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:54.360 I think Zeke he's prime, he's prime, and I think 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:57.720 he's ready to go. Tyren Smith met with the media afterwards. 0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:02.679 It looks good, okay, Tyrn Smith looks good. So how 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:06.720 you feeling health wise? Good to go? So he's because 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:09.840 because yesterday they was kind of they was kind of 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.240 getting after tiring a little bit, Dorn Armstrong and beat 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.000 him a couple of times. One of them young cats 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:15.520 I saw beat him off the edge a little bit. 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:21.000 So do you think that's lack of reps during training 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:23.440 camp or you just think that he you know, every 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.240 now and then, you know, the greats have a bad day. 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:28.400 Let's just be honest. Defense be beating the offense every 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:31.280 day pretty much they have. You've seen it. They got 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.839 more juice on that side for sure. Did you just 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:37.040 pile up this whole training camp here, who's been better? 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.040 It's defense and it it's not even a question and 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:43.200 you can say, well, you know Dak's not there. Even 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.319 when Dak was in through three picks the last time 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.880 he practiced, they got after him. So the defenses look 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:53.920 better as far as Tyre Smith goes. First off, let's 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:57.880 let's give Doran's armstrongs credit. Here what we saw against 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:02.040 Arizona coming into a contract. Here, he's got silent right now, 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.720 He's like he's letting his work do the talking. You know, 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:07.840 this is the kind of pressure that you wanted to see. Yes, 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.960 all right, you know what seeing for yourself from my man, 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:12.880 go out here and go get it. Done and he's 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.040 been bawling. I mean you saw him two sacks, pass, 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:18.120 break up the man silently doing his work out there. 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:23.280 In a contract year, Randy Gregory has improved mastly. I 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.959 mean not even on the even on the physical side, 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:29.040 mental side. I mean he's putting it together. He's putting it. 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:31.679 Then you match that with hopefully a healthy d Law 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:34.560 coming back into the season. Sure, are you gonna double? 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.280 Are you gonna let go? So I come back and 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:41.360 ask it this way, Could they both be good in 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:45.480 a semblance of what we saw from DeMarcus Ware and 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:47.920 Tyren Smith when they would go at it? Can we 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:51.880 have guys that are playing at a high level and 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:53.880 getting the best out of each other, that are Dooran's 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:57.480 Armstrong is sitting here at I'm going after seventy seven? 0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:58.800 Can we get it? After all decade here? Let me 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:00.439 see what I can go get done here, and that 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:02.480 he's playing at a high level. So, but I don't 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.559 if Tyrn tells me he's healthy, I'm not worried about 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:10.280 Tyranya until I have to, you know what I mean, 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:14.600 the track eventually, at some point, yeah, the track record 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:16.360 shows you know, Okay, he's gonna miss some games, but 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:19.720 right now, well, when he's playing and he's been healthy, 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.480 ready to go, he's been cool. Yeah, he's good health. 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:24.360 He's one of the best. So so I'm gonna I'm 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:27.720 going to just take his word for it. He's not 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:32.520 been a guy in the past who has told you 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:34.520 something just to get you to go away. He's Joe. 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.520 He's been very truthful of this is true. He also 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:41.240 just said from a physical standpoint, he looks good. Had 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:43.600 an opportunity to talk to also, a diggy woos him 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:47.800 who is running with the ones and big man. That's 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:51.440 a big man, not as big as Neville Galimar, not 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:53.480 as big as Neville Galimar. And that when I saw 0:13:53.520 --> 0:14:00.040 that in the preseason game Friday against Arizona. And you 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.760 you've played, so you know what it's like when guys 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:04.760 are out there on the field. You've seen it just 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.880 watching from a television standpoint, the way he was laying 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:10.360 there and thriving and pain like, this is bad, I 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:12.520 thought as soon as I saw it, and you could 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:14.720 he could. He could see the screams he's holding on. 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:16.839 He's ratling back and forth like, oh, this ain't good 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:20.240 because usually you get hurt as a football player. I mean, 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:23.360 you're gonna just bite your live kind of just like 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:25.200 kind of just give you one of those. But he 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:28.040 was riding riding in pain over there, and I was like, man, 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.880 this ain't good. This ain't good. So it's got the elbow, 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:34.840 you know, you know he's gonna miss. He's gonna miss 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.680 some time. Yeah, he's gonna miss at least what the 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:41.480 first first three games maybe. And that's and that's tough 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:44.200 because as our defense, if you look at our defense, 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:48.040 the edges, they're coming alive. Randy Gregory tank, you got 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:51.760 armstrong second level. We see what Parsons can do. We've 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:55.160 seen Kean O'Neil lv's in there. And then in the 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.120 back end, I think they're getting even better with this 0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:00.880 competition between Hooker, k Z, you got Wilson, you got Digs. 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:03.200 Everything seems to be coming together. But what hurt us 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:05.680 last year and what is gonna hurt us if we 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:09.240 don't do something about it, is that interior part of 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.880 the defense, back the heart of the defense. That's what 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:14.280 the teams literally gutted us last year. Going straight. They 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:15.720 didn't want to deal with the edges, they didn't want 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:17.520 to deal with our speed on the edges. So they 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.920 literally gutted us up the middle and right now without 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:22.760 Nevil Gallimore being in there, who I thought was gonna 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:24.400 take the leap, and he, I mean he was on 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:27.720 his way. We need some of the cats to step up. 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:29.080 You know, I'm not sure what a Tristan Hill is 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:30.760 gonna do. I'm not gonna sure what OCI's gonna do, 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:32.640 but we need some guys to step up. Well, don't 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:34.520 look for Tristan Hill a week one. Yeah, he don't 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:36.840 wanna meet right so to him. Look for him against 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:39.040 Tampa and probably won't look for him against the Charges 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.520 the first two games. So we're away away from even 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:43.880 trying to put him in a conversation because he had practice. Yeah, 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:46.640 you know, he hasn't pased the physical yet. So it's 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:50.360 right now and you're looking at the rookie uh Oscia Digazoa, um, 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.400 Carlos Watkins. You need Bohan and your other rookie to 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:56.360 step up. I mean you're needing guys here, which is 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:59.040 and Brent Urban. So this is where I gotta give 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:03.520 dan Quinnson read it. Throughout training camp, he kept rotating guys. 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:05.600 You just saw a lot of different guys getting out 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.360 there now, Gallimo was the dude running with the ones, 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:12.520 but he was consistently putting different people out there. So uh, 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:16.080 And then talking to a diggie, was he yesterday? He 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:17.720 said there were some things he could have done better. 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:20.440 He's his brother played in the NFL, so he's got 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:25.080 a lot of real useful tips from from a guy 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.440 who knows what it is like to go through the 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:29.920 league and how to get yourself prepared and what you 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.080 need to do to improve. So he's got his head 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:34.280 on straight in terms of just trying to figure out 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:35.840 what he's got to do. And he's not getting too 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.080 high too low. And I said, what did dan Quinn say? 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.240 You know, how does he feel about how you're progressing? 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:41.920 It's like, yeah, kind of what we've talked about him before. 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:47.800 So smart guy too, ucla cat, smart guy. He's just 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.640 still a rookie man. Yeah, And they got and they 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:54.640 got it. These interior guys being young. That's where I 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:56.640 like to see a urban maybe getting more playing time 0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.120 is they got to realize that everything is let me 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:01.000 go in here, getting my happen. You rushed the passer 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:04.439 sometimes you gotta hold up these offensive linemen. So they 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:06.119 don't get to the second level. So you can let 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:09.159 parsons Kean O'Neil lvi, Jalen Smith. Those guys do what 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:11.760 they do, run side line of sideline, and those are 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:14.480 the things you learn over experience and over time. And 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:16.440 hopefully those tips from his older brother let them know that, 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:19.280 because we're gonna need those linebackers flying. All right.
