I'm sure he gives them 43 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 6: a little a little much. But you always see people 44 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 6: go on those roasts and there's always one person that 45 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 6: bombs and I thought it was gonna be Bill, and 46 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 6: Bill went out there and killed it.

He 54 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 6: went out there this thing. But it was a three 55 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 6: hours a straight just laugh out. 56 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 7: It takes a brave man to get up on them 57 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 7: roasts because they will bring everything out. Any type of 58 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 7: rumor you had back in the day, cheating halted. They 59 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 7: brought it all out. And the man, they held no punches. 60 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 7: Everybody got a piece. He's a robber craft because Tom 61 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 7: is a good sport to allow them to do that. 62 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 7: Three hours of being roasted, I mean I was, you 63 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 7: get uncomfortable for personal like literally, you know, three hours 64 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 7: of watching him squirm, just it has to be uncomfortable. 65 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 7: The best roast that I've seen, though, if y'all get 66 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 7: a chance to go check out Michael Irvings roast. 67 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 6: Yeah snoop Dog on the No, no, no, no, it 68 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 6: was Jamie Fox. Jamie Fox did it's yeah, what's the 69 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 6: old one? When he was like, I gotta run it back, 70 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 6: I gotta run back. 71 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 3: I'll say this about Belichick and and when I when 72 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,839 Speaker 3: I was around him in Cleveland, covered the team. They 73 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 3: would all the players and even coaches would tell you 74 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 3: he's a funny guy. He wasn't giving us any of that. 75 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 3: That was reserved and for the people at his orbit 76 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 3: and that what you're saying there, I'm not surprised because 77 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 3: I consistently have heard that from from the people who 78 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 3: were with him and work with him. So all good, 79 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 3: So all right, I will check that. I will put 80 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 3: it on my list today. Your brave man wear that. 81 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 6: About the Stars winning in season championship. 82 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 5: That was in the back of the Bentley. 83 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 8: You just. 84 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 7: Come on, dog, you're playing Sha the morning. I was like, 85 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 7: you know, I got you know, you know. 86 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 5: Not for long. 87 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 6: You know, let's dive into the Cowboys here, and Barry 88 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 6: Church as you do, I'll be right back. 89 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 3: Here's a good question, Barry asked this team. Can the 90 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 3: defense be dominant without Dan Quinn. Dan Quinn is now 91 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 3: the head coach of the Washington Commanders in the NFC East, 92 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 3: So I'll let you start, Barry your thoughts. 93 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 7: I think it's going to be extremely difficult for this 94 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 7: team to match their intensity they've had since Quinn has 95 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 7: gotten in here. I mean We've all heard from all 96 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 7: the players throughout the locker room, especially on the defensive 97 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 7: side of the football, how much they love Quin and 98 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 7: how much they love playing for him, and they believe 99 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 7: in his system. And we saw what happened when players 100 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 7: don't believe in your system. The defensive coordinator before Quinn Nolan, 101 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 7: players were coming out saying this ain't working, this scheme, 102 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 7: ain't doing this, they ain't doing that, And we saw 103 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 7: how bad and terrible that defense is. So if your 104 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 7: players don't believe in you, it's hard for them to 105 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 7: go out there and run through a brick. 106 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 5: Wall for you. 107 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 7: So you know, hopefully, you know, with the new defensive 108 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 7: coordinator coming in here, he can install that defense and 109 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 7: have them believing in it. But I think it's gonna 110 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 7: be extremely hard because if you think about it, man, 111 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 7: then Quinn got the best out of each and every 112 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 7: one of those guys. I mean, look, de Marcus Lawrence 113 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 7: turned the clock back the wrong. Bland was out there, 114 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 7: you know, leading the league in interceptions. Diggs went from 115 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 7: you know, having a couple of picks and getting toasted 116 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 7: to man, this guy is a ball hawk out there. 117 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 7: The safety is the way he was playing those those 118 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 7: safeties are three safeties out there. To me, he got 119 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 7: the most out of each and every one of his players, 120 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 7: except for the interior of the defensive line, but we'll 121 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,239 Speaker 7: talk about that a little bit later. 122 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 5: But the rest of the squad, he got the most 123 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 5: out of them. 124 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 7: And when you believe in a coach like that, you're 125 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 7: gonna you're gonna go above and beyond. And that's what 126 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 7: that defense was able to do. And I think it's 127 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 7: gonna be hard to replicate that, especially on a one 128 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 7: year This is well, if it doesn't work out this year, 129 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 7: I think a lot of this is gonna change. 130 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 5: So it's gonna be tough to make sure. 131 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 7: You know your beliefs and your core beliefs on that 132 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 7: defense get installed in these players in just a couple 133 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 7: of months and then head into the season. So they're talented. 134 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 7: You got Michael Parsons, You got these guys out there, 135 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 7: so they're gonna have a talented defense. It's just are 136 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 7: the players gonna believe in it when something goes wrong, 137 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 7: or they gonna be like, you know what, it's okay, 138 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 7: he understands what he's doing up top, or they just 139 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 7: gonna do how like they would Nolan and say, man, 140 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 7: this ain't working. 141 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 5: He ain't getting the best out of us. This defense 142 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 5: ain't working. 143 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 7: We're gonna see because this team's gonna need this defense, 144 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 7: in my opinion, to be able to go to the. 145 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 5: Next level in which they want to do. 146 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 6: The thing for me when you raise the question is 147 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 6: I asked a question like what was the identity of 148 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 6: dan Quinn's defense, And the identity of his defense was pressure, 149 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 6: turnovers and sacks. And when they couldn't get pressure, they 150 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 6: couldn't get turnovers, they couldn't get sacks. They were pedestrian, 151 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 6: all right. And you found ways to expose this defense. 152 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 6: And look for the three years that that he was 153 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 6: at defensive coordinator, you saw, like you just said, him 154 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 6: bringing out those pieces that you were like, look, I 155 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 6: got the best version of Diggs. I'm getting the best 156 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 6: version of my safeties. I'm getting the best version of 157 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 6: the way that he's using Michael Parsons. But at the 158 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 6: end of the day, when what all of this fell 159 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 6: apart about was how you operate in the playoffs, and 160 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 6: when you get to the playoffs and you go back 161 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 6: to those just go back to last season and look 162 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 6: at our worst games Buffalo turn on the Buffalo tape. 163 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 5: When we couldn't get pressure, we couldn't get sacks. Teams 164 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 5: exposed us we could. 165 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 6: We are continuously getting exposed on the back half of 166 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 6: our defense, in the front up front, and also on 167 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 6: the back half when they get unbalanced. And so when 168 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 6: I look at when people ask the question about Mike Zimmer, 169 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 6: I say, and replacing dan Quinn, I say, it can't 170 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 6: get worse, and no, no, no, Respectfully, what I'm saying 171 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 6: is he is not going to change any of those 172 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 6: things that made the defense what it was last season, 173 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 6: because now I believe Digs is what it is, Bland 174 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 6: is what he is. Okay, but how does he get 175 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 6: these guys in position now to stop the run? Because 176 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 6: that's our achilles hell. We can't stop them when we 177 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 6: can't stop anybody dog, it really puts us in a 178 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 6: bad way. Yeah, I think the question of can you 179 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 6: be dominant under Zimmers? 180 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 5: Were we dominant last year? 181 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 6: Like I think at the beginning of the season we 182 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 6: felt like generational, generational. 183 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 5: I remember the story. 184 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 6: You said, I shout out, listen, I don't and you 185 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 6: know I love dan Quinn. I think dan Quinn brought 186 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 6: a different type of leadership here where the players following 187 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 6: them they brought he brought from swag Dude started playing 188 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 6: going out there, they talked a little a little crazy, 189 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 6: and they backed it up. You always know you're gonna 190 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 6: get the same stuff out of the laws. But like 191 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 6: you said, the biggest issue here is do we have 192 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 6: the pieces on the interior defensive line to be dominant 193 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 6: all right? 194 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 5: Actually to just be good? 195 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 6: And our starting defensive line right now is O DIGGI, 196 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 6: Zeua Yegg and Mazzie Smith, right, So like when you 197 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 6: look at what Mazzie Smith did last year and then 198 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 6: you say this guy is going to this is who 199 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 6: we're depending on right now, just based off what it 200 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 6: was last year. He can get better in the off season, 201 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 6: he can get better in training camp, just but just 202 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 6: based off what it was last year, we don't we 203 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 6: don't think. I don't think that that is going to 204 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 6: hold up for us to be able to be dominant 205 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 6: like we want to. Dron Bland can play as good 206 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 6: as you want to. Trayvon Diggs will be coming off 207 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 6: an injury, right We got Overshan coming off an injury, right. 208 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 6: So when you talk about being dominant right now, I 209 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 6: just want us to be serviceable, like we know that 210 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 6: we're going to be able to get pressure in certain 211 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 6: situations because Michael Parsons is there d laws there like 212 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 6: you know they're going to get their opportunities. But right now, 213 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 6: I don't think we can look at the roster and 214 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 6: be like, Okay, we are healthy enough one and we 215 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 6: have the pieces to be a dominant D defense. I 216 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 6: think this is gonna be some patchwork, like crazy, like 217 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 6: you're gonna have to ay, where does this guy fit in. 218 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,719 Speaker 6: You're gonna bring in some more free agents off the 219 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 6: street that probably played for Zimmer to see if they 220 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 6: can they can help because they know the system. But 221 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 6: right now, I think it's passwork. I think you're looking 222 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 6: at top fifteen defense, and if you get that, I 223 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 6: think you should you should be happy. I think you 224 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 6: get top fifteen with with what you got right now, 225 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,839 Speaker 6: knowing the injuries and people coming off of what they 226 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 6: what happened to him last season, and having Mazie Smith 227 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 6: play in the interior. Yeah, I think in top fifteen 228 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 6: is so no dominant, no dominant to answer that question, 229 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 6: no dominant top fifteen. 230 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 5: I think I think right that you are ecstatic. 231 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 2: I will just the church say amen to what you said. 232 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 3: You're gonna, I believe, face three of the top five 233 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 3: or top eight rushing teams this year. You not fix 234 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 3: this defense. The drafts showed you that you didn't fix 235 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 3: the defense up front. As Warren Sapp always says, back 236 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 3: don't work without the front. This front right now is 237 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 3: a problem. And if I'm having you line up and 238 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 3: face the Dallas Cowboys, I'm trying to figure where am 239 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 3: I gonna run? Okay, we're running up the middle. Hey, 240 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 3: Michael Parsons have fun chasing whatever's up the middle. So 241 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 3: that's what you're gonna do. I am concerned about Mazzie Smith. 242 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 3: What is the weight gain is he getting back there? 243 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 3: He's had shoulder surgery. These things were not addressed enough 244 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 3: in my opinion right now to simply say, looking at 245 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 3: what Mike Zimmer wants to do, people gonna blame the carpenter. 246 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 2: But then the carpenter gonna be able to say, what 247 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 2: my tools? 248 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 5: What do I have? 249 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 2: And so that for me is scary. 250 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 3: You're gonna have to face San Francisco, you have to 251 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 3: face Philadelphia twice. Well, if Kellen Wore decided to get 252 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 3: it we'll figure that out. You're gonna face Detroit. You've 253 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 3: got teams that are gonna want to come and do this. 254 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 3: So how do you respond? Have they given Mike Zimmer 255 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 3: enough to be dominant? 256 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 2: Forget that? 257 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 3: Have you given Mike Zimmer enough to just be competitive 258 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 3: when it comes to that? So we shall see. I'm 259 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 3: found the same letter play out right now? What I 260 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:19,319 Speaker 3: see I don't think so they can get and shootout, 261 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 3: so you can do all that stuff. But if this 262 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 3: team makes the playoffs, what have we seen the last 263 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 3: three years? 264 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 2: People? 265 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 3: You can run on the Cowboys and you can beat them. 266 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 3: They haven't fixed it, at least I haven't seen them 267 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 3: fix it. Maybe I'll be wrong. They gonna find a 268 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 3: way to plug holes. Mike Zimmer put some pixie dust 269 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 3: and make some magic happen. But that's a concern for 270 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 3: me right now for this football team. When I look 271 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 3: at the defense and forget dominant, can you can you 272 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 3: figure out a way to. 273 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 2: Just stop the run? 274 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 5: Man? 275 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 3: Because in the critical games we saw them play last year, 276 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 3: we saw how they lost against the good teams who 277 00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 3: could run the football. 278 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 7: And then you look at Zimmer's defenses. You know when 279 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 7: he was in Minnesota, and what is he known for? 280 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 7: And sin is what a you known for? Two safety 281 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 7: high to saftyhead Harrison Smithy saying they hold them guys 282 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,439 Speaker 7: are too safeties highs, which means you're leaving the box light. 283 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 5: That's what he's known for. 284 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 7: Having those big guys in the middle, the big defensive 285 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 7: line just out their gap stopping everything and linebacker's flowing. 286 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 7: That's what he's known for this defense. The past couple 287 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 7: years under Quinn, they've always had that extra guy in 288 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 7: the box and he still hasn't been able to stop 289 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 7: the run. Right right, Two safeties back light box with 290 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 7: defenders that haven't been able to stop the run. 291 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 5: To me, that's just not a good formula going forward. 292 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 6: That's why you bring in the Kendricks, and he bringing 293 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 6: the Kendricks because you understand from a linebacker standpoint, and Danny, 294 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 6: you've been begging for this. It's a guy that could 295 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 6: be tough in the middle and can stop those inside runs. 296 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 5: You and I feel like you have that. 297 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 6: And I feel like also with guys getting healthy back there, 298 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 6: that that's going to be the importance put on this 299 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 6: defense this season. 300 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 5: You gotta stop it. 301 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 6: Last season under Quinn the defense was undisciplined at best. 302 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 6: You've seen those games where those guys are getting out 303 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 6: of their running lanes because they're pad that they're stat 304 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 6: padding right. Everybody's hot, boy, chain you want to get 305 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 6: out there, you want to get pressure on sax strip, fumble, 306 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 6: all of that. 307 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 5: But then you're seeing the Green Bay game. Okay, get 308 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 5: up the field. 309 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 6: All we gonna do is just run this thing right 310 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 6: behind you and pick up those extra yards. And so 311 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 6: that's where I think the change for Mike Zimmer coming 312 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 6: in and this guy is he's seeing the best of 313 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 6: the best, and so's it's not like he doesn't come 314 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 6: in with a reputation that you can hang your hat on, 315 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 6: because he's that guy that that can tell you back 316 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 6: in this year. This year, I've coached guys like Prime Time, 317 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 6: I've coached at Charles Hayley. Look, can we just go 318 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 6: down the list about like who who were sure about? 319 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 6: Let's go if you just go down the list on 320 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 6: the defense about hey man, I'm sure that this dude 321 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 6: right here is going to have a productive season. The 322 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 6: Marcus Lawrence de Marcus Lawrence. Well, I mean if you 323 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 6: just start on the corner, Okay, Trayvon Diggs not healthy though, 324 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 6: Like so I'm saying when you talk, so you're not 325 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 6: sure about Trayvon Diggs, who was probably you know, one 326 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 6: of your best players on defense, right, Malle Cooker, Billie Cooker, 327 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 6: he's probably gonna he's gonna play how he plays right, 328 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 6: so you can so you can count on him. Donovan 329 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 6: will You got Donovan Wilson, you can count on him 330 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 6: to play how he's gonna play. Then you got Jordan Lewis, right, and. 331 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 5: Then you got right. 332 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 6: So now then when you get to the to the 333 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 6: to the next level, you got Kendricks Overshan Clark. 334 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 5: Rick is also part. 335 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 6: Don't know, I'm saying Kendricks you can depend on, right, 336 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 6: So you're talking about this level, what we struggled at 337 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 6: was do you Overshan. 338 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 5: Right? 339 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 6: But that's who they're pegging right to be the guy 340 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 6: Mizzie Smith when you get to the to love before. 341 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 7: That, I wouldn't it was that last year, you know 342 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 7: what I'm saying. 343 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 6: When we play so right now you're just looking at 344 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 6: a lot of spaces where you're like a like, I 345 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 6: don't you know. You got d Long and you got 346 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 6: Michael Parsons. But on the inside. After that, I'm not sure. 347 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 6: Then you got Kendricks and then now you're like overshawan 348 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 6: Or or DeMont Clark based off what we saw last season, 349 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 6: and then the injury, You're not sure there. So right now, 350 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 6: the most sure we are as the secondary, which is 351 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 6: not the issue. 352 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 5: That we've had. The issue that we've had is the 353 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 5: front seven. 354 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 3: So before we go to break, I just want to 355 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 3: go over the opponents we're talking about, you know, trying 356 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 3: to stop the run. 357 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 2: Baltimore, Cincinnati at Atlanta. 358 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 6: But who they replaced Joe Mixon with? Was it Aaron 359 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 6: It was a good player. It was a good player. 360 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 5: You know who Aaron Jones was Minnesota. 361 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 2: It was a good play. It was a good player. Uh, 362 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 2: you're at Carolina, You're at Cleveland. 363 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 5: Coming coming back. 364 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 2: But overall their identity is running. They go find somebody 365 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 2: to run the ball. 366 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 3: We don't know what the Giants are gonna do We 367 00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 3: know Philadelphia, They're at Pittsburgh, Okay, not Harris, you know, 368 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 3: going on the ball there at San Francisco. They will 369 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 3: face Detroit here, you know what that is. You will 370 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 3: face Houston here, they got you mix. You will have 371 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 3: a home game against New Orleans, Skippy Pete and Tampas coming. 372 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 5: Here if he's still there, so. 373 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 3: And then of course you got you got Washington. But 374 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 3: just right here, you know we're naming there are there 375 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 3: are some there. There's some running teams on the schedule, 376 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 3: and it's gonna be pretty clear.

So some of this stuff is here, 379 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 3: and that's when we talk about just being dominant. I 380 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 3: go back to, hey, look man, you're trying to beat 381 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 3: this team and run the ball.

I go 457 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 3: to the defense, and for me right now, that defensive 458 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 3: player Sam Williams, it's gonna be year number three, four 459 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 3: and a half sacks last year there's times with Sam 460 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,360 Speaker 3: look good. Then there's sometimes you go, oh my gosh, 461 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 3: what you're doing out here. But to me, as Mike 462 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,439 Speaker 3: Zimmer takes over this defense and you need someone to 463 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 3: step up and Sam Williams last year he complained about 464 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 3: playing time. Dreant's Armstrong is gone, Tank Lawrence is obviously 465 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 3: getting a little bit older. They did draft another guy 466 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 3: it play defensive end section. So to me, I'm looking 467 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 3: third year, you need to take this next step. This 468 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 3: is your opportunity. I need saying Williams to go ahead 469 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 3: and run through that. 470 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 5: Listen. 471 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 6: The thing about Sam Williams, he has the athletic ability 472 00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,199 Speaker 6: and the talent to be a real dominant well a 473 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 6: huge force in the league. We've seen him on special teams. 474 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 6: We've seen our athletics. He's running down there playing gunner, 475 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 6: which is usually for DB's and wide receivers, making plays 476 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 6: black and punts. Now, he does have some of those 477 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 6: brain farts sometimes where you like come on man, like 478 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 6: in the penalties, like probably being in the right place 479 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 6: at the right time. But yes, going in the year three, 480 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,239 Speaker 6: this is where you want to see him put all 481 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 6: that together because you've seen it at each level special team. 482 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 6: You see it on defense. You've seen the past rushing, 483 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 6: so you know he has it. This is the time 484 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 6: for him to get out there and put it all 485 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 6: together and you know, make big time plays. Do I 486 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,959 Speaker 6: have high expectations for him, not to save the defense, 487 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 6: but I do expect him to be better than he 488 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 6: was last year. So when you when you talk about 489 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 6: him being a gunner and DB's and receivers being a gunner, 490 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 6: what are those guys' sizes? 491 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 5: Like you're five eleven six eighty five pounds? 492 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 6: J goodwell almost I had to run right through that too. 493 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 6: For Sam is six and sixty one pound doing that, 494 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 6: and they's just showing pure athleticism for him. For me, 495 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 6: I look at I look at Sam Williams like I 496 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 6: would look at a stock and what can be the 497 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 6: return on investment with a guy like this? Like you 498 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 6: look at the guys before, they were not performing. All right, 499 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 6: four and a half sacks for him in limited time, 500 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 6: that's showing that this guy can produce and he has 501 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 6: the numbers there and by god, he has the size 502 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 6: also to be a guy that you can move around 503 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 6: as be a piece for coach Mike Zimmer. So look 504 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 6: I think that the return on Sam Williams could be 505 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 6: enormous because he's one of those guys that if you 506 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 6: put him in a position and he can stop the 507 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 6: brain farts. Basically in play bet don't line up outsides, 508 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 6: don't jump off sides, don't cost guys at costly times. Man, 509 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 6: this is a this is a player in year three 510 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 6: that absolutely could help this defense out. 511 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, without a doubt. 512 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 7: You know, I'm saying Williams can't be that guy, Like 513 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 7: you said, the main thing with him is just upstairs, 514 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 7: you know, is he gonna be able to stop the 515 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 7: brain farts or when he has contained on the outside 516 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 7: not to get reached by the offensive lineman and let 517 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 7: the running backs get outside or the quarter get outside. 518 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 7: Can he be that you know, unselfish player where it's 519 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 7: not all about me getting these numbers? Can he do that? 520 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 7: I believe so, And he can hopefully take that next step. 521 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 7: It's just going to take the right coach and hopefully 522 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 7: Zimmer is that guy. But for me, I got to 523 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 7: look at a guy Damon Clark to me on that 524 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 7: second level, he's got to take that jump and he's 525 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 7: got to be the future on that second level for 526 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 7: that linebacking corps. You know, we got Kendricks in here, 527 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 7: and hopefully he can kind of be that mentor to 528 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 7: help him show see help him see things pre snap 529 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 7: and posts. Not to let him play a lot faster, 530 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 7: because when you looked at it last year, he has 531 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 7: all the capabilities athletically, but when you looked at it 532 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,880 Speaker 7: last year, those guys were getting to the second level 533 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 7: and he just couldn't get off the blocks. I mean 534 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 7: there was a time and time again where he was 535 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 7: getting pushed out the screen. He has that athletic ability 536 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 7: and this team needs, especially in a Zimmer defense, with 537 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 7: those two high safeties out there, you're gonna have to 538 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 7: have somebody on that second level that can control everything 539 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 7: wrong sideline the sideline, make sure that when people do 540 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 7: mess up, he can be there to correct it. And 541 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 7: I believe he has that ability to do so, and 542 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 7: hopefully he can with the help and the leadership of 543 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 7: Kendricks taking these But as a veteran a white team 544 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 7: look as a veteran though, as a veteran, when you 545 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 7: when you bring in and Eric Hendricks, you know his reputation, 546 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,640 Speaker 7: do you think that he at least can be serviceable 547 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 7: in this defense to be able to do exactly what 548 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 7: you just asked, you know, to help a guy, uh 549 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 7: to reach his potential as a linebacker. 550 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,719 Speaker 5: I think he I think he can be serviceable. 551 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 7: The only linebacker that I've really seen year eleven now 552 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 7: and still be really productive is Bobby Wagner, and that 553 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 7: guy is a Hall of famer, so to me. 554 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 5: You know, Kendricks, he was. 555 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 7: Great early on in his Vikings career, but it's also 556 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 7: the same guy I was. 557 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 6: Shout South Carolina briefly out he can't do it. But 558 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 6: I've rarely seen college. 559 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 7: I've rarely seen, you know, a guy you know, double digits, 560 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 7: you know, come into that linebacker spot and kind of 561 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 7: reverse to Clark. I've rarely seen it regarding another system, 562 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 7: but I've barely seen that's like a running back going 563 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 7: into year ten, you know, now, account on him to. 564 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 5: Be that year five guy. You see what he just did. 565 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 2: So you know, I'm just saying, I don't know. 566 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 5: What I'm saying. I'm willing to go out on number 567 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:16,199 Speaker 5: right now. 568 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 6: I say, we will have a thousand yard number fifteen Russia. 569 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 5: Let's go. 570 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 6: Number fifteen will be a thousand yard. 571 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 2: And I didn't and I didn't have too number fifteen? 572 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 5: That what you mean?

What Tony Paul did that 721 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:11,879 Speaker 2: was number eight? 722 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,760 Speaker 6: I just add context to this. You're you're saying Tony 723 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 6: Paul is a better running back than Zeke last season? 724 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 3: Right now, I will tell you I think Tony Poller 725 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:27,360 Speaker 3: old last season when they was together, that the previous 726 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,760 Speaker 3: season when Tony made the probo better running back. Okay, 727 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 3: So Tennessee Titans this year, he's over there. I'm telling you. 728 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 3: That's what I believe. 729 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 5: Okay. 730 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 2: So that's my opinion. Now here's another issue that you have. 731 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 2: We don't know who the start the center is going 732 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,919 Speaker 2: to be. No, we don't know who to start left 733 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 2: tackle is going to be. 734 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 3: We don't we don't we have an idea of what 735 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 3: they want to do. Right now, you're talking about putting 736 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 3: two rookies out there if the cookies are healthy and 737 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,399 Speaker 3: ready to go and can can go. But and then 738 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,879 Speaker 3: Cooper b B, who I like as a draft pick 739 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 3: from Kansas State, he's not been a full time center. 740 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,359 Speaker 3: It was all American, unanimous, all American in Kansas. But 741 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 3: that was in the interior position. It wasn't it center. 742 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 12: So we're talking about asking, you're talking about just just saying, Pam, 743 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 12: and there's there's I know who the starting left tap 744 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 12: is gonna be, and y'all know who's gonna be, and 745 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:30,880 Speaker 12: y'all know the star left guard is gonna be. 746 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 6: I know what the left side is gonna look like. 747 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 6: But can we actlate that we ain't got a guy 748 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 6: in the first round? Yes, and we and we and 749 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,720 Speaker 6: we know that.
