You got to see a little bit of 17 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: a glimpse of football. You can get that little itch. 18 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: Its starting to kind of get to that point where 19 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: you feel like it's it's not right around the corner 20 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: but it feels like it's getting there. One hundred days. 21 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: Did you scratch the itch though a little bit? Yeah, 22 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 1: it's just a quick scratch, A little tease is all 23 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, But one hundred days to the season, 24 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: I believe exactly today? Is it one hundred today? Because 25 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: according to Adam Schefter that was his scoop for the morning, 26 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: Oh to the season, Cowboys got one hundred and three 27 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: games earth days till their game. Okay, how many days 28 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: do we have to count, Kyle? I don't want to 29 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: talk about it. Less less than one hundred a lot 30 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: less days days we're there. I had my math wrong 31 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: a couple of times because I was thinking seventy days, 32 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: but I turned that into seven weeks and not the 33 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: right man. That's okay, it's more than seven weeks. I'll 34 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: tell you that much. I guess last time. It was 35 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: nine and a half weeks last week, so that would 36 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: make it eight and a half weeks from you guys 37 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: in some Memorial days too. Oh, it's amazing high quality. 38 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 1: Why are you talking about the can of the day blue? 39 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: You can't get over the fact that it's in a can. Yeah, 40 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: I feel like stone cold, but like really not smash together. 41 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: You saw it. You saw the stone cold smash. I 42 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: mean this is high quality. I don't know if it's 43 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: better because it's in a can or Steve Wiser's good stuff. Man, Sorry, 44 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: he's just trying. Memorial Day deal.

Yeah, how was your Memorial Day? 47 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: It's good? Yeah, that's good. It's just chilling. You know. 48 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: I got a green thumb over the weekend. Who rubs? 49 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, down some some trees and such and got 50 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: completely eight up.

Yes, Nikki, I 53 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: did a good thing. And that's a show right home. 54 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: And of course honoring all of the men and women 55 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: that have fallen in our arm for throughout the years. 56 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: So it was it was a great weekend, but we 57 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: also got to keep in mind why it was there. 58 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at some of the news and 59 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: notes from our cowboys first week of OTAs anything pop 60 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: out of their rock. Yeah, I mean it was a 61 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: like you said, it's scratched a little bit of an itch, 62 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: you know, finally get him on the field, watch some 63 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: guys in nonpad situations. Um, you got to see a 64 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: little glimpse of what the offense looks like without Amari Cooper. 65 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: But it's gonna be a little bit till we see 66 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: the full core because you got guys dealing with some stuff. 67 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: So you had Dak Prescott out there without James Washington, 68 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: without Jalen Tolbert, without Michael Gallup, So it was, you know, 69 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: you got to project a little bit, but you know 70 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: it was it was nice to see guys just back 71 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: on the field doing some stuff. And they've got two 72 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: of them this week, only two coming off the long weekend, 73 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: and man, in two weeks from now they got the 74 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: mini camp, then they're out out for the summer. Now 75 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: what that was going on with Jalen Tolbert, Pee, You 76 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: gotta give me some information on this because I think 77 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: that's where Cowboy fans were just freaking out that he 78 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: started off with the it's rid jersey, yellow jersey, whatever jersey. Yeah, 79 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 1: he was doing some stuff with Britt Brown, Cowboys director 80 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: of Rehabilitation, which I think it's more fun to practice 81 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: than it is at work with britt most of the 82 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: time sounds like he's probably I think it's a little 83 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: bit of a hamstring, And Mike McCarthy said he might 84 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: be back on the field this week, so they don't 85 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: think it's anything serious. James Washington was in a boot. 86 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: They didn't really provide much detail on why. But he 87 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: may be back in the next couple weeks. If not, 88 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: I would say by training camp. But they may be 89 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: may be something that they're just going to be careful 90 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: with up Loxnar. We'll see. But but you're you're starting 91 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: three receivers during these drills, and they did a lot 92 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: of situational stuff. It was an installed day. They did 93 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: some two minute type stuff offensively and defensively. You had 94 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: Noah Brown and Simon Fojoko as you're starting outside receivers 95 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,799 Speaker 1: with the first team, and you had CD working inside, 96 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: which is what he's done for the duration of his 97 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: career mostly so far, so had to adjust. And no 98 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: Tyrant Smith either, at least in that practice that we 99 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: saw last week, is back tightened up on him. So 100 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: you had Matt Well let's go and Josh Ball getting 101 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: first team reps. Yeah, I think you look at what 102 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 1: Heckman is talking about freaking out about Jaylen Tilbert, and 103 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: it's easy to have that overreaction after the first OTAs 104 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: and guys are out. But I think the one where, 105 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: one place that that's founded is the fact that Tyron 106 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: Smith already is having some kind of back tightness and 107 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: there's just something there and it's lingering into this offseason 108 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: and it continues to be a storyline because I mean, 109 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: that's what the storyline has been, is how healthy is 110 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: Tyrn Smith going to be able to stay throughout an 111 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: entire off season and end of the regular season. And 112 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: the answer so far as he's still missing a little 113 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: bit of time. I got so much to put on 114 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: our plate already, and I mean, here we are in 115 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: May and we're talking about back tightness. I'm not worried 116 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: about it. Good guys, I really am not. Nobody really 117 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: should be. Let's I mean, here's the thing, because we 118 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: know he's gonna miss some games, let's just put that 119 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: in our heads. Last season, I believe he played eleven games, 120 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: eleven games and six mixed six. So let's say the 121 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: over under this year, if we get thirteen, we're good. 122 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: And I think the swing tackle positioning you just got 123 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: to insert X Files music right there, because we can't 124 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: we figure out who the swing tackle is. And it's 125 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: the biggest mystery going into camp who is going to 126 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: be the swing tackle? And not enough has been made 127 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: about it, seriously, not enough it's been made about it 128 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: because we've got to figure that part out, especially if 129 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: we've let well let go of some our right tackle 130 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: now we have still we don't even have them and 131 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: as an option anymore to be our swing tackle. So 132 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: those are just some of the bigger lingering questions about 133 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: up front. And I know that's something that worries you 134 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: as well. It definitely worries me. That's a position that 135 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: you wanted to share up this offseason. They haven't done 136 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: so yet. There's still a lot of time. We still 137 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: have a couple of months before camp. I'm as swimming 138 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: seven eight weeks and running that's something, So there's still time. 139 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: And I think that that's a position that they're going 140 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: to have to address along with some other positions, especially 141 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: as some of these injuries kind of linger around. It's 142 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: it's if you're going to sustain some of these soft 143 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: tissue injuries and things in a nature. First of all, 144 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: Cowboys Nation. Soft tissue injuries around this time of the 145 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: year is expected, especially for rickies seemingly seemingly just front 146 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: of a standpoint that they're coming off of training for 147 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: specific drills and now all of a sudden, they're coming 148 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: out of training for months on end for those specific 149 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: drills forty broad jump, all those things, and now they're 150 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: going to transition straight into playing football again. You're going 151 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: to sustain some soft tissue injuries because you're moving in 152 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: multiple facts, right, You're moving in different angles, you're planning, 153 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: you're cutting, you're celerating, you're taking on resistance from other guys. 154 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: Now you're going to sustain some of those injuries until 155 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: your body adapts back into that environment again. So it's okay, 156 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: Tobra will be fine watching all these guys will be 157 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: perfectly fine. However, you want to see what the moves 158 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: of Cowboys are going to make going into this summer 159 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: because you want to have that depth, that depth, that 160 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: that confidence that you had last season. Hey, if somebody 161 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: goes down, there's somebody else like a step up, or 162 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 1: hey we have a game plan. If if Tyrant goes down, 163 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: we can swing. That doesn't seem to really be in 164 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: play right now, So I think that's an area that 165 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to shore up between now and the 166 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: time training camp begins. I mean, we talked about this 167 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: last week and problem spots and what's your biggest one. 168 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: I said, swing tackle, just because, to Heck's point, that's 169 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: a starting position based on history for at least three 170 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: games over the last five years, and they have not, 171 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: to Isaiah's point, have not signed a veteran for that 172 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 1: role like they've normally done. And if you listen, if 173 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: you believe Jerry Jones at the draft, he said, they're 174 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: out of that market because they have three young tackles 175 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 1: that they like and they want to see now based 176 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: on performance slash injuries. You can change your opinion of 177 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: that and try to go out and find a guy. 178 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: But they've invested draft picks in Josh Ball, Matt Will 179 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: Let's go this year, and then Tyler Smith depending on 180 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: if he's a guard, Okay, take him out of that, 181 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,839 Speaker 1: he's left guard. But they're all in that mix, and 182 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: I guess they're just gonna see it through. And I'm 183 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: not worried about Tyrn Smith with the back last week, 184 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: Like if you've got anything and you're going to be 185 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: a key role player starter, they're gonna hold you out. 186 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: Olsa had a little thigh thing that happened in OTA's 187 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: last week. They held him out of the open one 188 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: that people don't know you're a back sympathizer. Yeah, big time. 189 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: I got two herniations back there, So I mean it sucks. 190 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: We are we are and like if it doesn't go away, 191 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 1: this is this has been a thing for Dak for 192 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: not Dak, for Tyrone for for years in training camp. 193 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: He'll take these maintenance days. So um. But yeah, they 194 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 1: they they they've got youth there that they've got to 195 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 1: find who's gonna step up there, and maybe it's Josh 196 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: Ball my fear and I understand that you want to 197 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: have trust and you want to have faith into your 198 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: scouting department, into your coaches to be able to develop 199 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: to talent, give your talent an opportunity to actually, uh 200 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: you know, to you know, get their legs underneath them 201 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: and say, hey, we're gonna we're gonna rest assure it 202 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: on the guys that we have. I get that thinking 203 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: and I understand it from the perspective of the front office. However, 204 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: the worst case scenario is you're going through camp, guys, 205 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: do okay, Now, all of a sudden, there's three preseason games. 206 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,079 Speaker 1: Three yep. Correct. You get to the first prison game, 207 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 1: you're like, crap, and it's not what I thought, or 208 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: it's not what I was hoping for, And all of 209 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,599 Speaker 1: a sudden, now you got two weeks to try to 210 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: feel the spot before a season for depth. Right. I 211 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: don't like that position because there are going to be 212 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: a lot of other teams probably in that same boat. 213 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: They're gonna be trying to fish out that same pool, 214 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: and their fish just may not be there. So I 215 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: am from the standpoint of I would prefer they secure 216 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: that now, right. I know what Double Jay said. I 217 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: would rather secure that now in a very friendly manner 218 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: in terms of your contracts and all that jazz. Protect 219 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: yourself just in case, right, And I guess what if 220 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 1: you're young, guys panned out? It's the league, Okay, we understand, 221 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: guys get cut all the time, fired however you want 222 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: to look at it. It It sucks. It's a part of 223 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: the business, guys understand, and you hope that they get 224 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 1: up other opportunities, but you at least protect yourself at 225 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: all times. Real quick, I wonder if it's salary to 226 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: in part because they've they've spent up to I don't know, 227 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: two three million on a swing tackle in the past, 228 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: whether it was Cam Irving, Cam Fleming, and you know, 229 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: dollars last year. Yeah, dollars are precious right now for them. 230 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: And if you've got to I mean, you don't want 231 00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: to play around with this position. But if you've got 232 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: a rookie that can win the job on much less 233 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 1: than that, or a young player like Ball, maybe you 234 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: do that. You know, I think when Jerry made the statement, 235 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: I took it as you know, another jerryism, and that 236 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: situation is fluid. They understand the investment that they have 237 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: in Dak Prescott, and you go back over the last season, 238 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: I think some of your your the lull or when 239 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: the production started to swing down, was when you had 240 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: that musical chair situation started to happen up front. Again, 241 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: nobody's gonna give a give Dak that excuse or the 242 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: Cowboys that excuse. But that's the problem that they've had, 243 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,439 Speaker 1: and maybe the dollars have something to do with it. 244 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: But I gotta, I really gotta agree with the front 245 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: office with this. When you put invest those picks you 246 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: have Ball, y'all. FORNI act, like you just mentioned, you 247 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: have to rely on the development of those players, and 248 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: I think they feel like they have those guys to 249 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: the point where, you know, look, I don't have to 250 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: go out here and get three million, four million dollars 251 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: swing tackle to come in here. And maybe I think 252 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: the rules that the rule changes with guys that are 253 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: going to the practice squad. Now, like we talked about 254 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: last year, teams are now able to hoard all of 255 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: their offensive line then left tackles. If you look like 256 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: a left tackle go to the street. It's not happening. 257 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I would be surprised if it's Matt will 258 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,559 Speaker 1: Let's go Kyle swing tack right away this year coming 259 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: out of North Dakota, and he had and I'm not 260 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: saying this is gonna be his life or his career, 261 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: but he had a welcome to the Fell moment in 262 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: OTA's last week where Micael put him on his rear end, 263 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: you know, and he's one on one passengers and that's 264 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: just part of it. But like there's some there's some 265 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: development that he's going to have to have um and 266 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: maybe it's again Josh Ball at least has been in 267 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: the program for a year and they like his ability 268 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: and maybe that's the guy they're looking to try to 269 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 1: seize it this year. Yeah. I think if Matt will 270 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: Let's Go is the selection for the swing tackle or 271 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: if he's the guy, then that says two things. One 272 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: they don't feel super confident on anybody that's out in 273 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: the open market. And two that's really it's not a 274 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: good sign for Josh Ball because, like you said, he's 275 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: been in it, he's been around, he's been in the system, 276 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: He's had time to win that job plent times in 277 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: the past. If Matt wi Letsko comes in as a 278 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 1: fifth round pick and it's like, oh my gosh, here 279 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: he is, Here's he's the guy, that's all a little 280 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: bit of an issue. I would be. That would be 281 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: where I'm looking at Isaiah across the table and saying, 282 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 1: they don't feel comfortable with what they've got it. What's 283 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: you guys his preference? Would you guys rather go into 284 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: camp currently with what who you have on a roster? 285 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: Would you like to solidify that by grabbing a veteran 286 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: specifically specific just in case, I'd love to get a 287 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: veteran Okay, just in case is mine I lived there? Okay, Yeah, 288 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: because like we haven't seen we haven't even seen Josh 289 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: Ball really like he didn't He did not participate in 290 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: a preseason game last year because he heard his ankle 291 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: the second week of camp. So they like him, but 292 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: we haven't We haven't seen it, so and they haven't 293 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: seen it. So you guys running just in case, you 294 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: guys are seeing nixt just in case. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 295 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: I think I think getting a veteran tackle would certainly 296 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: benefit the entire roster all the way through. So that's 297 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: that's definitely something that'll be on their mind while we're 298 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: talking about some of the negatives in terms of health 299 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: and question marks around that offense in OTAs, let's flip it. 300 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: Here's a positive, the fact that Dak Prescott is completely 301 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: healthy in this offseason for the first time in two years. Yeah, 302 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: crack open that ice cold day, Jean blue Water in 303 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: a camp, cheers everybody to Dak Prescott being held at everybody. Hey, 304 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: so what kind of impact does that give Isaiah on 305 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: an offense on a team when your leader is not 306 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: only back, he's in the room, he's in those meetings, 307 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: and he's fully capable of contributing. But also he is 308 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: fully healthy, and he's looking better than he has in 309 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: probably two years. It makes you feel good. I mean, 310 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: stress lovers are low. I just finished watching Obi Kenobi 311 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: in first two episodes. You know, and Obie's back. You 312 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: know he's back. You know did Obi Gonobia the Dallas 313 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: Cowboys is back. And he's the man. He's the leader 314 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: of this offense. He's a leader of this organization. And 315 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: you know, you think Jerry Jones and you think Dak Prescott. 316 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: Those are the two people when you think about, well, 317 00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: you got w j up top, and you got you 318 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: got Dack down here on the underground level. And when 319 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: he's healthy, you don't have to worry about the what ifs. 320 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about all His office is 321 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: gonna look okay? Are they gonna have some continuity? Are 322 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: these guys didn't get the information relayed? How is there? 323 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: You know, are these guys gonna be in sync as 324 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: new receivers the tight ends or how is it gonna flow? You? 325 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: All those worries that you had before kind of go away, 326 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: and you're able to look at the production that he 327 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: had last year and identify. Okay, this is what he 328 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: did well. This is he had some lolls when he 329 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: wasn't healthy. Okay, So if we eliminate those, what does 330 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: his offense look like? Because we understand that this offense 331 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: can only go as far as Dak's health goes. You 332 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: can work around a lot of other things in this offense. 333 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: If Dad's not healthy, you're on the struggle bus. I 334 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: don't care who the heck you got back there. So 335 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: it's awesome that he's healthy. It's awesome that he's able 336 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: to get this work full speed reps with his new guys, 337 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: his new acquisitions, because they're gonna need that going into camp. No. 338 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: I you know, I talk about Dac all day. You 339 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: hate me to talk about Dad. I mean it's look, 340 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: I feel as though last season the disadvantage was coming 341 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: into OTAs that he wasn't healthy. You didn't know what 342 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: version of Dak you were going to get. So coming 343 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: into the seventh season, I think you feel a lot 344 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: comfortable knowing that he has a full off season. Now, 345 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 1: he's getting healthier, The ankle should be a lot better. 346 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: All of the information that he's been getting talking about 347 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: from the doctors and saying that you'll be much better 348 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: from this injury in your second season. So I'm looking 349 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: for that. The Cowboys need that and so but I'm 350 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: with you. If his health ain't right, this whole thing 351 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,679 Speaker 1: ain't right. And I mean, all of your investment is 352 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,439 Speaker 1: put there in him, and the amount of money that 353 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: he demands as a salary as a Dallas Cowboys quarterback 354 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: is astronomical and you have to build around that. I 355 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: feel I want Dak to go scorched earth this year, 356 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: I really do. I want him to have the kind 357 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: of season where he is playing some of the top 358 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: tier quarterbacks in this league. He burned them down and 359 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 1: that's what he has to do to get to the 360 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: end of the season this time next year. So for 361 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: all those nay says, and I know none of the 362 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 1: guys they say they don't care about that, but he's 363 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: got to shut some people up and legit. His numbers 364 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: mean nothing. The way that people judge Dak, they judge 365 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: him in quarters of the season at the time over 366 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 1: the last eight games on that first two, you know, 367 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: whatever it is against teams with five hundred teams with 368 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: this his record, what's gonna stand for Dak is having 369 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: that productive season as a quarterback, you know, not throwing 370 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of interceptions. Maybe he's gotten close to 371 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 1: the five thousand at once back in the day, but 372 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: his health his paramount, and talking about the offensive line 373 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: health and who they're gonna have at that swing tackle 374 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: and all up front is going to be important as well, 375 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: because you have to keep him standing up in this 376 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,199 Speaker 1: offense that's demanding him to throw a lot of balls. 377 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,919 Speaker 1: So this is his season, that seven in his seventh season, 378 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: this is as hot as it gets underneath him. I 379 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 1: agree he's the kid of the season because he plays quarterback, 380 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 1: and you saw with Joe Burrow, who has some nice 381 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: pieces players around him. But you know, if your quarterback 382 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 1: is balling out and having like a generational special season, 383 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: that can change the whole dynamic of your offense, your team. 384 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: You can mask some things that are weaknesses on your team. 385 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: And they're in a situation now where they're in transition 386 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: with their receivers and the best quarterbacks in the league 387 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: Isai has played with some can elevate guys to become 388 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: better players just by playing with a great quarterback. And 389 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: that's that's you know, without Amari that's I think CD 390 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: has already got a Pro Bowl right, he can be 391 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 1: a great player, but there are some questions beyond CD, 392 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: and obviously CD stepping into a new role. So there's that. 393 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: I think him coming back healthy this offseason. It's really 394 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 1: two offseasons now where now he's back to a normal 395 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: one because the whole team didn't even have offseason workouts 396 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: two years ago. Last year, it's the stuff that we 397 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: don't always see. It's it's them working out on their 398 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: own together and building a rapport away from the team 399 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: that he didn't get to really do last year because 400 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 1: he's focusing on his leg. And last year, at least 401 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: you had kind of your exact receiving core intact. This year, 402 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 1: you don't. This year. You've got a rookie third round 403 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: pick who's got a lot of talent, but they may 404 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: ask him to be starter week one. James Washington is 405 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: new CDs in a new position. He's playing flanker now, 406 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 1: like you need Dak on the field, working through all 407 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: that stuff, and so it's huge that he's healthy. He 408 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,640 Speaker 1: brought up a great point because yeah, it's been two 409 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 1: off seasons since Dak has really been back in this role. 410 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: But even Mike McCarthy's talked about it. It's been three 411 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,199 Speaker 1: seasons now since you've really had a normal off season, 412 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: and Dak can step into that leadership role in person, 413 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: in front of these guys, have these conversations, the intent 414 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: that he has as the starting quarterback to be a 415 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 1: guy who elevates the games of others. And you look 416 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: up and down and Hecka mentioned at a moment ago 417 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: I was curious to see some of the quarterbacks that 418 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: the Cowboys play on their roster or on their schedule 419 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: rather throughout the season. Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford, 420 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, and a lot of those are at the 421 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: early part of the season. With those, especially with Brady, 422 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 1: Stafford and Burrow, all within the first five weeks of 423 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: the regular season, you're going to figure out just what 424 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: kind of moxie Dak Prescott has in year number seven, 425 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: just what kind of step he's going to take, And 426 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: you're gonna find out early on in the year. But 427 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 1: when you look at the rest of these quarterbacks, Matt 428 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: Ryan Kirk Cousins, Ryan Tannehill, Carson Wins, Trevor Lawrence, Jalen Hurts, 429 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: Jared Goff, justin Fields, Daniel Jones, and Davis Mills. There's 430 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 1: no reason, no reason Dak Prescott shouldn't be better than 431 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 1: every single one of those last names I just mentioned. 432 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: He should be the best quarterback on the field in 433 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: those games, which in that case provides you with a 434 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: great chance to win. Facts. And you know, and I 435 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 1: know he's spoken a lot on this show in particular, 436 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: you know about Heck's Dak. You know Hex Dack. I'm 437 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: gonna call him. I likes be careful with saying that's uh. 438 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,199 Speaker 1: But in terms of the respect that he has or 439 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 1: like thereof that Dak has around the league, and I 440 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: and I think that what you're seeing over these past 441 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 1: two seasons, they're putting him up against Tom Brady's the 442 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: last two years, first games, first game. So I don't 443 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: think that anybody is looking at dec as lesser than 444 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 1: I think. They're putting him up against the greatest that 445 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 1: there ever has been to see what he is. And 446 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: I think there's no quikadink that all of a sudden, 447 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys just have Tampa Bay Buccaneers is not 448 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 1: divisional WHOA, this is out of out of division, facing 449 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: these guys, the first game of the season to kick 450 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: the year off. No, no, no, quikadink there, Joe Burrow 451 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: right afterwards. Yeah yeah, So, I mean to your point, 452 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 1: Dak has respect around the league. He just has to 453 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: back it up. Man. Yeah, he's got that national respect. 454 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,479 Speaker 1: But now it's time to take that step forward. It's 455 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: not about respect anymore. It's about winning. Is ultimately the case, 456 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 1: and you got to do it in the postseason. You 457 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: can't just go twelve and five again, because we've already 458 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: seen that's going to frustrate it quite a bit of 459 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: people along the way.

I think it's gonna be 551 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: a great night at the ballpark, all right. I'm teased 552 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 1: to going into the break as always. Who takes the 553 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: year to jump here for the Dallas Cowboys. There's a 554 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: lot of names on that list. Micah Parsons, of course, 555 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: he had a great rookie year. What kind of step 556 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: can he take in year two? Kelvin Joseph can he 557 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 1: be a starter? Chauncey Golstons, Diggi Zua, Nay, Shaun Wright, 558 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: all third rounders a year ago, all need to take 559 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: that next step. Golston, in his first healthy off season, 560 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 1: has put on twenty eight pounds. Is what he told me. 561 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,399 Speaker 1: They were gonna use him inside, They're gonna use him outside. 562 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: He's gonna be a three technique, five technique. He'll be 563 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: an edge rusher all over that defensive line. Chauncey Golston 564 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 1: looking at a new role and then also thinky ZOA. 565 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: A lot of people think he could be the guy 566 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 1: to take that next step and be an impact player. 567 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,880 Speaker 1: Heckmon when you look at the guy's entering year two, 568 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 1: who's the most likely to take that jump for you? 569 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: You know, I love what you said about about Gholston 570 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: and I love the way they're using him in his 571 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: flexibility right now upfront. I mean, as a as A 572 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: said in your Player, I think he can be one 573 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: of those diversified pieces on your defensive line. And I 574 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: don't think a lot of people are even looking for 575 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: him talking about because of his length. He's I think 576 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: he gonna be a really disruptive for us. So I 577 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: saw a little bit of him last year and OTAs 578 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: him and Armstrong doing the you know, twisting stunts with 579 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 1: each other. They don't keep him all the way inside. 580 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: They bring him back outside for stuff like that. But 581 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 1: that's the way that our defense has really been put together. 582 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: So him, Joseph, also dig Zuo, all of these guys, 583 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: they have to make the jumper. Come on, now, what 584 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: what's understood don't have to be stated. It's gotta be 585 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: Micah Puder. The thing is is that as an organization, 586 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: you I mean, like this or just drop it in 587 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: their turn? How you got to do it. But it's 588 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: it's got to be one of those situations with micah 589 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: Um where eighty four tackles last season, thirteen sacks. The 590 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: guy had a monster rookie season. Um the this this 591 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: franchise needs him to be bigger and better than what 592 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: he was last year. Now, I hope no one forgets 593 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: that he's a better edge rusher, that he is a linebacker. 594 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: We got twenty nine minutes. He's a better edge rusher, 595 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: and I hope they don't forget that with it's time 596 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: to start talking about the contract, because that's where he 597 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: is so disruptive. But I love the way that dan 598 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: Quinn uses him blitzing from the middle of the defense 599 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: even when he is in the linebacker position. Pee, you 600 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: brought me around to him in coverage and his coverage ability. 601 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: Going back over the season, you see a lot of 602 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: his ability to track in space, and that's just I mean, 603 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: the guy is so talented. Sometimes this is like, all right, 604 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: how do we exactly use him? And I think this 605 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: year you're able to hone in. But he's the one 606 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: guy out of all those guys that you absolutely need 607 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: to make the biggest jump. What do you think? Yeah, No, 608 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: I love it. I didn't know if we could we 609 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: could use Mike as an example, because he had one 610 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: of the best rookie seasons we have ever seen in 611 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: the National Football League already. But I think he's right, 612 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: like there's another level for him. And I'm reminded of 613 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 1: like the hard knock segments when he's working with DeMarcus 614 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: Ware during training camp last year and then he's thrown 615 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: into that part of his job and did it so well. 616 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: Like if he can refine that, like that part of 617 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: his game, the pass rushing stuff, like how good can 618 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: he be? Because I think a lot of it he's 619 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: not just doing it on He's not freelancing out there, 620 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: but that's not something he's he worked exclusively or necessarily 621 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: diligently at last year. He's, like he said, he's trying 622 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: to do a lot of different things. His first game 623 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: at Tampa Bay, he's covering four net and gronk out 624 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: of the backfield or you know, and covering tight ends 625 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: and backs. So that to me could be the next 626 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: step for him. For another guy, I would say, Osa, 627 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: I think they're very excited about him. Um. I ran 628 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: into him in the lunch room a couple of weeks ago. 629 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 1: I was like, man, I almost didn't recognize he's put 630 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: on weight strength. You can see the difference. And they 631 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: were really impressed with what he did in year one 632 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: and think he can be a long time starter for them. 633 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: I got two names. Why don't e side of the 634 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: ball that's good Neville Gallimore. Okay, technically year three, but 635 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: I'll give it him to be a dog. He missed 636 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: it to you. I I need him to be a dog. 637 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: I think he's in that same category as Oosa for sure. Yeah. Yeah, 638 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: And I don't mean my other name is not a 639 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: rookie either. I mean, I gotta go with this is 640 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: most important. This is that we just I mean, I'm 641 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: saying anybody, but you just kind of pass. I'm blowing 642 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: right through that. I mean, just to what you gotta Yeah, 643 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: I mean second year, jump third, seventeen years, listen here, 644 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: I don't listen. Just Gallimore needs to be a dog. Yeah, okay, 645 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,479 Speaker 1: and I'm jumping to CD. I don't care what year 646 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 1: it is for him. CD needs to be a dog 647 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 1: because this is really his first year as a number one. So, yeah, 648 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: he's been playing underneath it. Yeah, he's been productive in 649 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: all those jazz but he still has a lot of 650 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: things that he needs to clean up in order to 651 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 1: be respected and regarded as a number one in this league. 652 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: Not to say that he's not a very productive, really 653 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: good receiver, but everybody knows the laite that he needs 654 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 1: to take. But come on, give it to us, how 655 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: you know, Like when these cameras is off and these 656 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: mix is off, you give us something different. Now, come down. 657 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: I'm saying how I say it. CD needs to be 658 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: a dolt CD, And I said that last week. CD 659 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: is not card it around the league as a number 660 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: one receiver. It's not to say that he can't be 661 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,719 Speaker 1: a number one receiver. And I know the question they 662 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: follow up question is gonna be like, well, what doesn't 663 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,479 Speaker 1: what does he need to do in order to be that? 664 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: He needs to be feared by every team that faces him. 665 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 1: I don't feel as if teams feel the need to 666 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: double team him all the time. Yet I see what 667 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: heck him is trying to pull out. I know he's 668 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 1: trying to do and I'm gonna I'm gonna ask the 669 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: same question, do you think he can do that? Do 670 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: you specifically, Isaiah stand back on this table here May thirty, 671 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: first of twenty twenty two. Do you believe Ceedee Lamb 672 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: can do that. You want he be that number one? 673 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: He wants commercial break, Isaiah, I believe the children of 674 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 1: stop stalling. Answer question, Yes, I do. I do believe 675 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: though I believe he can. Will he is a question, 676 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: and I think that's a question that nobody has an 677 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: answered for a set for a CD. Is he fully capable? 678 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 1: That dude has the physical attributes, he has the side, 679 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 1: he has everything right, he has all the skill sets, 680 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: he has a quarterback, he has everything that the officer, 681 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,959 Speaker 1: a coordinator. Everything is in place for him to be 682 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: a complete dog in his league. I just want to 683 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: see him do it. When I spoke last time about 684 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 1: his willingness or whether or not he's really take that leap, 685 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,719 Speaker 1: it was in regards to how he handled himself and 686 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,399 Speaker 1: how his mannerisms as a leader, from what we've seen 687 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,720 Speaker 1: to date, doesn't portray what you consider to be a leader. 688 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown is an absolute dog, one of the most 689 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 1: feared people in his league when he's playing right. But 690 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,399 Speaker 1: he's nobody's gonna say he's a leader. Okay, So when 691 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 1: you start seeing some of these things where he's throwing 692 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: his hands up and he's frustrated, and he's walking off 693 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 1: the field, and he's sitting on the end of the 694 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,399 Speaker 1: bench and all these things. He can't do that when 695 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: you're number one. Those are the things that I'm talking 696 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 1: about in terms of that leap. I don't know the 697 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: man personally. I can't speak to him. I can just 698 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,839 Speaker 1: only speak to what I've seen. He has to make 699 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 1: those adjustments going forward. He's now gonna have to take 700 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,359 Speaker 1: the responsibility of not only I have to perform, but 701 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 1: also now I have to hold everybody else to a 702 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: higher standard of performance as well, because it's not going 703 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 1: to be allowed for us just to be simply mediocre. Ye, 704 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 1: there's a lot that comes with being a leader now. 705 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 1: And the thing is that just being around you, I 706 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 1: know that you don't judge wide receivers on the curve 707 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 1: either you are aren't, And that's just kind of black 708 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,439 Speaker 1: and white in that regard. And I think for Ceedee Lamb, 709 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: I agree with you, he has the potential, he has 710 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: the capacity to be that. When you look around the league, 711 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 1: when you started talking about the top guys, it's justin Jefferson, 712 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 1: it's Jamar Chase's Cup, it's Digs, it's guys like that, 713 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 1: But Ceedee Lamb fits right at You don't get far 714 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 1: after Adams and guys like that before you have to 715 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 1: insert Ceedee Lamb. His first year in the league. I 716 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: think if him and Dak were able to play that 717 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 1: full year together, I think we wouldn't even be having 718 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: this conversation. He finished with nine thirty five I believe 719 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 1: in his first season, which is close right eleven hundred 720 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 1: last year in a full season with that well miss 721 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 1: one game, but still still the second most yards by 722 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 1: a receiver in the first two years of a season, 723 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 1: only buying Bob Hayes'. And that's that's different games. That's 724 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: the guy they called bullet Bob. Yes, you know, I'll 725 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: let you so. I mean the numbers, the production, even 726 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: with I believe his catches, I mean he has catches 727 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 1: than any of the receiver up into this point. So 728 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,719 Speaker 1: he's doing a lot of things for the organization that's 729 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:09,319 Speaker 1: been here for a long time. But you're right, when 730 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,399 Speaker 1: you start looking at the cream of the crop, that's 731 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,319 Speaker 1: the same thing that we're talking about with Dak. All Right, 732 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: everybody kind of revers him. That's kind of neat underneath, 733 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,840 Speaker 1: he has the same thing going on here. He cd 734 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,919 Speaker 1: is gonna go up against some guys that that luck 735 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 1: man from a defensive backstandpoint, even his contemporaries across from him, 736 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 1: he has an opportunity to set himself apart from them, 737 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,319 Speaker 1: and I just want to see him do it. Yeah, 738 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: if you get you forget how young he is, because 739 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: he's twenty three. And the first when I walked up 740 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 1: for his interview, the first thing he was talking about 741 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 1: was last Wednesday, was he put on ten pounds of 742 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,759 Speaker 1: masks lean muscle, and he said he grew half an inch. 743 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 1: Which it's like that's he's still growing, you know, like 744 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 1: that's that's high school stuff, you know, that's that's He's 745 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 1: a young guy who's got room to grow. And there 746 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,359 Speaker 1: are technical parts of his game. He's gonna be playing 747 00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,400 Speaker 1: a new position. Drops were a thing, have been a 748 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 1: thing for two years. And I asked him specifically, A said, 749 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 1: I asked him about leadership, and he talked about that. 750 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,839 Speaker 1: The importance of that, and I think some of it too, 751 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 1: is he's with a new position with new responsibility. He's 752 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,719 Speaker 1: not gonna be sneaking up on anybody. There's gonna be 753 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,919 Speaker 1: more coverage rolled to him, probably Um, he's because he's 754 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 1: the focal point. And so how do you handle that? 755 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:25,400 Speaker 1: How do you how do you adjust to that, prevent frustration? 756 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,799 Speaker 1: How do you lift other guys up? Be the guy 757 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 1: in the room, because I think what happens in the 758 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 1: room is something fans don't see either who who's and 759 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 1: that's something guys talked about Amari was. Amari wasn't an 760 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,359 Speaker 1: outspoken guy, but Amari was a guy who would pull 761 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,439 Speaker 1: you aside and talk to guys and give guys, give 762 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: guys help. And so at twenty three years old, he's there. 763 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:46,919 Speaker 1: He and MG are gonna be asked to do that. Yeah, 764 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: it's a lot to bear and and that's when we 765 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,879 Speaker 1: start talking about his development, particularly in regards to CD. 766 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 1: I think the majority of his development has to come 767 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 1: into format between his ears. That's where his development has 768 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,840 Speaker 1: to come. And that's in term of his understanding of 769 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,920 Speaker 1: a game. That's his understanding and his role in this 770 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,320 Speaker 1: particular offense, his role as a leader, right, the battles 771 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 1: that he has within emotionally, his emotional maturity, all those 772 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: things that I've spoken about other players in the past. 773 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,839 Speaker 1: That's where his development has to come. It's not the 774 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 1: physical the drops, that's reps. Go, get on the juggs machine, 775 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,880 Speaker 1: whatever it is, get rid of that. Okay, getting in 776 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:23,120 Speaker 1: continuity with your quarterback, all that jazz, that stuff, easy boom. 777 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,400 Speaker 1: We know his physical attributes will be there. It's the 778 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 1: mental aspect that he has to make the biggest leap. 779 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,360 Speaker 1: And it's a lot to bear. I'm not saying it's easy. 780 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 1: It's a lot to freaking bear when somebody that you've 781 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 1: been you've been underneath a Maria Cooper for your first 782 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: few years, and all of a sudden, he's gone, and 783 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: you're like, oh crap, it's on me. But let me 784 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: ask you this. I think for most of these young guys, 785 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,480 Speaker 1: it's you were talking about the soft tissue issues the 786 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 1: guys are having on the field because they've been preparing 787 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,319 Speaker 1: a certain way. I think it's the approach to the 788 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 1: pro game for these young guys when they come in 789 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,120 Speaker 1: from rookies, that change that you have. Now your time 790 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 1: is your own, so are you spending its studying or 791 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 1: you know, so approach to the game I think is 792 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,440 Speaker 1: what basically that you're talking about. But I don't think 793 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 1: that CD views himself as a guy that was living 794 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,719 Speaker 1: underneath the Mark Cooper. I think he came through the 795 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,720 Speaker 1: door with the expectation were in two aids that Hey, 796 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 1: I'm a man around here. I just gotta show y'all 797 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 1: that what I am. And so he has the look. 798 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,839 Speaker 1: He has a ton of ability. I believe that Kellen 799 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 1: Moore right now, his offense, the passing game, part of 800 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,280 Speaker 1: his offense, he can expand so much more on because 801 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,359 Speaker 1: you don't ideally have that one guy that offenses well, 802 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,080 Speaker 1: defense can say we're gonna definitely take him away. Well, 803 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,319 Speaker 1: you don't have that piece anymore. You don't have the 804 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 1: guys that you know. So you can move Cede Lamb 805 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:37,799 Speaker 1: around a lot more. He doesn't have to be the 806 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,759 Speaker 1: guy on the outside. He can move all the way through. 807 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,319 Speaker 1: But you're gonna have to have some healthy pieces. That's 808 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,880 Speaker 1: where the wide receiver room. You gotta get more guys 809 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 1: in and around him, you know. So look, I just 810 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 1: believe he can do it. I think his approach to 811 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 1: the game is gonna be there. But God, why didn't 812 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 1: you let me grow half it? Some guys get all 813 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,280 Speaker 1: the break. Do you guys feel that he's a mandatory 814 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:06,239 Speaker 1: double team status? Shit? Uh No, But I don't think 815 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 1: he's far off. Like, I don't think teams like you said, 816 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 1: are gonna say, oh man, we got a double team him. 817 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,400 Speaker 1: Let's let's go single coverage everybody else he's double teamed 818 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,839 Speaker 1: on this backside. I don't think he's there yet. But 819 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 1: if he comes out and he plays really well the 820 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 1: first two or three weeks of the season, it's not 821 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 1: gonna be a quick quick trigger. It will be a 822 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,040 Speaker 1: quick trigger for teams to put him in that category. 823 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,239 Speaker 1: He showed flashes that he can be that. Like the 824 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:32,160 Speaker 1: New England game, you're like, yeah, okay, this this is special. 825 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,839 Speaker 1: Like so, it's the consistency, and it's also being, like 826 00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:37,799 Speaker 1: you said, being the guy. He I know it's just 827 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,240 Speaker 1: an interview, but he sure sounded like a guy who's 828 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,839 Speaker 1: super excited, like I've been ready, I'm motivated to do this. 829 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:48,399 Speaker 1: Dak's gonna stay on him, I think, because that's maybe day. Yeah, 830 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,440 Speaker 1: that's where Dax's leadership comes in. He's like, your locker's 831 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,400 Speaker 1: next to mine. We're I mean, this is this is 832 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:57,000 Speaker 1: gonna be the one two punch ship going forward. Yeah, exactly, 833 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:02,239 Speaker 1: So we'll see, uh, we'll see where it goes. But 834 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,600 Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean this is that's a huge key 835 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,800 Speaker 1: and CDs a year. I'm excited for him, man, I'm excited. 836 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:10,040 Speaker 1: It's a great opportunity. You know that everybody else around 837 00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 1: him put a lot of pressure on him. I don't 838 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,279 Speaker 1: know him again to know what his mental state was 839 00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 1: when he first, you know, was brought on to his organization. 840 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,520 Speaker 1: But obviously everybody else through that pressure on him by 841 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,759 Speaker 1: giving him an eighty eight automatic, yep, automatic, everybody else 842 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:24,239 Speaker 1: through the weight of the world out him. Cool. The 843 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:25,799 Speaker 1: boy had his jam sport on him, right, So, and 844 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,279 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you know, he puts out 845 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,319 Speaker 1: a good first season. Boom, that's even more backage. Okay, 846 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,239 Speaker 1: coming into year or two. All right, now he's bought 847 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 1: out again. Boom. Now all of a sudden, maor he's gone. 848 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,319 Speaker 1: That boy's backpack's heavy, right, his backpack's heavy. That's why 849 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,239 Speaker 1: he put the sponsors. Come on, man, that's why he 850 00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,400 Speaker 1: put the extra ten pounds of got He got to 851 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,640 Speaker 1: stand up. He got to carry that weight. And now 852 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 1: it's time to show up and say can you carry 853 00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:46,439 Speaker 1: that weight? And are you willing to carry the weight. 854 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,040 Speaker 1: But because I know you watch a lot of the 855 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 1: NFL anyway, like when you go to like the Rams, Yeah, 856 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,960 Speaker 1: you have a Cooper cup that everybody mean, MoMA know 857 00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 1: he's gonna get the ball. But you gotta have a 858 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,880 Speaker 1: two that can be qualified as well to carry that. 859 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 1: And I think that's been the difference in the one 860 00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,239 Speaker 1: A one aspect of the wide receiver group here at 861 00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. So if CD can be that, then 862 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,799 Speaker 1: everybody else can eat. Tober can eat, Gallup can eat. 863 00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: All the other guys can eat behind that. That's that's 864 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:20,239 Speaker 1: a very valid point that you brought up. The number two, Gallup, Washington, 865 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:24,319 Speaker 1: whoever it is starting out Katober has to be dang 866 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,560 Speaker 1: neared as as productive as as a number one in 867 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:31,960 Speaker 1: this offense. Reason being when the defense has decide to 868 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,640 Speaker 1: roll coverage, when they decide to start changing up what 869 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:36,400 Speaker 1: they want to do, your number two has to be 870 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,680 Speaker 1: able to act as a as a one. Now he 871 00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,879 Speaker 1: has to be a He has to be capable, right, 872 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 1: not just willing. He has to be capable of exploiting 873 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 1: the defense as a one B would. And I think 874 00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:48,920 Speaker 1: that's what the Dallas Cowboys had with an Amari Cooper 875 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:50,800 Speaker 1: and CD Lamb. Or you want to roll the coop. 876 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,719 Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. We got CD over here. Now 877 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,640 Speaker 1: you're in a position now or you want to roll 878 00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,480 Speaker 1: to CD. What do we have? We got to wait 879 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,080 Speaker 1: and see. Yeah, because that's this is a great point 880 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,800 Speaker 1: because the number two receiver led the team in receiving 881 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,360 Speaker 1: last year, and that's that is. It goes back to 882 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,640 Speaker 1: Jason Garrett's time here. It's we're gonna take what the 883 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,359 Speaker 1: defense gives us. We're not going to force feed things. 884 00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,640 Speaker 1: And like to Cooper Cup that the last two minutes 885 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,160 Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl was the example of what people 886 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 1: want to see here at times where it's like who 887 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,839 Speaker 1: cares like we're going to him the seasons on the line, yep, 888 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,920 Speaker 1: you know, and they have not operated like that really 889 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,359 Speaker 1: with this offense. They haven't needed to. At some point 890 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,919 Speaker 1: they might need to, especially with CD at the top 891 00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:31,800 Speaker 1: of that depth chart. Whenever we get to the wide 892 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:35,520 Speaker 1: receivers and we don't know who's available going into the 893 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,440 Speaker 1: first couple weeks of the season, it may be heavily 894 00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:42,319 Speaker 1: on CD moving into moving into that early part of 895 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,719 Speaker 1: the regular season, all right, when we come back. There's 896 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,160 Speaker 1: been some buzz around the NFL lately Roger Goodell talked 897 00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 1: about maybe getting rid of the Pro Bowl, or at 898 00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:54,080 Speaker 1: least changing the format. We're going to brainstorm some ideas 899 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,160 Speaker 1: on how we could change the Pro Bowl and make 900 00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,920 Speaker 1: it more fun and viewership heavy when we come back 901 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:05,319 Speaker 1: with more talking cowboys new Doctor Peppers zero sugar.

I had them 942 00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,040 Speaker 1: in my cupholder and I cleaned my truck out and 943 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,280 Speaker 1: then I came back later and they weren't in my cupholder, 944 00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:37,360 Speaker 1: and I, legit heart dropped. I found them later. I 945 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,719 Speaker 1: had somehow put them in, uh, in my gym bag, 946 00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,319 Speaker 1: like without thinking about it, and I found them in 947 00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:46,640 Speaker 1: my gym bag later, which I never do. Your merse, Yeah, 948 00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,719 Speaker 1: the merse, That's what it was. But UH got them 949 00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:51,799 Speaker 1: back as you can see wearing them. We love our 950 00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:56,200 Speaker 1: friends over at Sachel. It is a satchel, Thank you, Rob. 951 00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:01,000 Speaker 1: It's not a merse. It might be uh NFL looking 952 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,640 Speaker 1: to change the Pro Bowl potentially. Roger Goodell spoke on 953 00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:05,759 Speaker 1: it this past week and it's got a lot of 954 00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:08,160 Speaker 1: people brainstorming some ideas. I thought we could have a 955 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,920 Speaker 1: part of this to end out our show in the 956 00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,160 Speaker 1: final month or final show for the month of May, 957 00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,759 Speaker 1: and I wanted to get creative with it. So let's 958 00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,600 Speaker 1: say the game is next. Let's say they go away 959 00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,000 Speaker 1: from this game, which, by the way, Isaiah, do you 960 00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,480 Speaker 1: do you want the game to go away? Do you 961 00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,560 Speaker 1: want to see it continue on? Like? What's your opinion 962 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:28,480 Speaker 1: on that? Before we get into the creativity. I think 963 00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:30,920 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl selection needs to continue because it's such 964 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,879 Speaker 1: a highly acclaimed thing in the league. Like that's something 965 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:37,280 Speaker 1: you are going after, right, you're bawling out for your team, 966 00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:39,759 Speaker 1: but you also that's the self accolade portion of it. 967 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,120 Speaker 1: And guys get paid off of Pro Bowl based upon 968 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,600 Speaker 1: your Pro Bowl selection, Hall of Fame credentials one day too. Absolutely, 969 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:47,839 Speaker 1: so I think that aspect needs to continue. I do 970 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,759 Speaker 1: think we are in a different age of athlete in 971 00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:56,160 Speaker 1: terms of back in the day, guys played for pride, 972 00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,839 Speaker 1: guys played for bragging rides like and it was no 973 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,200 Speaker 1: matter what. Pickup basketball was the thing. I can't tell 974 00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:03,759 Speaker 1: you the last time I've seen anybody even playing pick 975 00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:05,680 Speaker 1: up basketball. I haven't seen the kids on the street 976 00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,040 Speaker 1: no more so. The game is different, right, the generation 977 00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:11,279 Speaker 1: is different. Now it's based upon my salaries and how 978 00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:12,840 Speaker 1: much money can I make. That's not to say that 979 00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,800 Speaker 1: guys aren't competing. It's just to say that their motives 980 00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:17,680 Speaker 1: are a little bit different than what they used to be. 981 00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,920 Speaker 1: When you know, you you calling me a punk or 982 00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,439 Speaker 1: something like that back in the day would get me up. Hey, 983 00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:25,759 Speaker 1: forget that. We are just go head up one on one. 984 00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,799 Speaker 1: Now it's like oh you point, like okay, whatever, or 985 00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,520 Speaker 1: now it's like if I'll pay you, okay, now, let's 986 00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,520 Speaker 1: talk about it. Now, let's talk about So money is 987 00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,359 Speaker 1: a motivator now and the league has has transitioned to that. 988 00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,279 Speaker 1: I just think that these guys that are playing now 989 00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:44,560 Speaker 1: aren't motivated by just pure competition anymore. So from that standpoint, 990 00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,960 Speaker 1: I think the game needs to start doing them away. 991 00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,520 Speaker 1: I would be more up to see guys compete in 992 00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,680 Speaker 1: regards to just skills challenges, and they have some of that, 993 00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,920 Speaker 1: But if it puts guys at risk, it at getting injured, 994 00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,120 Speaker 1: They're not gonna do it. Because the motivator is money. 995 00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,399 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna put myself in a position to lose money. 996 00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:04,279 Speaker 1: But I know when it changed. It changed back in 997 00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,200 Speaker 1: the day. I don't remember the year. I was watching 998 00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,520 Speaker 1: the Skills Challenge back when Larry Allen those guys should 999 00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,279 Speaker 1: do bench prance and all that jazz. Tony Gonzalez was 1000 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,920 Speaker 1: doing like a little um, a little catching, catching, a 1001 00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:15,440 Speaker 1: little circuit. They're trying to see how many balls they 1002 00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:17,359 Speaker 1: can catch right in a certain amount of time. And 1003 00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,080 Speaker 1: he quit in the middle of it. And I remember 1004 00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:21,920 Speaker 1: watching this. He quit in the middle of it because 1005 00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:24,160 Speaker 1: his fingers started getting jammed up, and he's like, oh no, 1006 00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:25,680 Speaker 1: I'm not doing this no more. He just walked off, 1007 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:27,480 Speaker 1: and I remember looking at Tony and I lost so 1008 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,279 Speaker 1: much respect for him. For Tony g I don't give 1009 00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:32,960 Speaker 1: him Hall of Famer. I lost so much respect. I'm 1010 00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,160 Speaker 1: here in that moment because I'm a competitor. I'm like, 1011 00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:40,359 Speaker 1: you don't stop, you don't stop. But at that moment, 1012 00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,359 Speaker 1: I was like, it's gonna change forever, because now guys 1013 00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,360 Speaker 1: are gonna be thinking about, oh, I can get injured 1014 00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,520 Speaker 1: all the sudden. And I remember that, I distinctively. I 1015 00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,160 Speaker 1: remember that, and now that's what guys are concerned about. 1016 00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:52,279 Speaker 1: When we watched the forty yard Dash, you year, where 1017 00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:55,800 Speaker 1: guys running full speed Tyreek no no, Michael was Michael 1018 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,880 Speaker 1: was haul until he's a competitor, right, he cares about 1019 00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:02,080 Speaker 1: that projec. But other guys were like, I'm not trying 1020 00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:05,160 Speaker 1: to hurt my hammy. Right. So if you took the 1021 00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:07,680 Speaker 1: defensive guys and had them hit hit up moving those 1022 00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:10,080 Speaker 1: moving bags that they have remote controls now and measure 1023 00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,520 Speaker 1: how much power, I think guys would do that. Yeah, 1024 00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,400 Speaker 1: I think guys would do that. How HARKing guys here? 1025 00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,719 Speaker 1: Who has the sweetest back pedal? You know, things like that. 1026 00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:18,200 Speaker 1: I think there's a way to get creative with the 1027 00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:20,640 Speaker 1: skills side. But in terms of the game, the game 1028 00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:24,839 Speaker 1: is gone, y'all. You're talking about that. The science of football, yeah, 1029 00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:28,560 Speaker 1: get the GPS on. I like that. Yeah, the physical 1030 00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:32,080 Speaker 1: weight of force or whatever's happening. Yeah, yeah, all of 1031 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,120 Speaker 1: that to me sucks. And I hate to sound like that. 1032 00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:37,520 Speaker 1: It does. I'm sorry, I just I hate to sound 1033 00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,399 Speaker 1: like that. Back in the day, I tell you, I'm 1034 00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:40,920 Speaker 1: on the back in the day train, you know, and 1035 00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,920 Speaker 1: I'm I'm used to seeing guys go to Hawaii and 1036 00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,400 Speaker 1: play their guts out, and like you said, for pride, 1037 00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,359 Speaker 1: and and you know, man, I get in this generational 1038 00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:53,560 Speaker 1: argument with my fifteen year old time, and it just 1039 00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:55,520 Speaker 1: you know what it does, It drains the life out 1040 00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:58,759 Speaker 1: of you because they have they have nearsightedness. They can 1041 00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,360 Speaker 1: only see so far. So I'm like, okay, you know, 1042 00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:04,520 Speaker 1: guys used to absolutely love to play in this game, 1043 00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:07,080 Speaker 1: and now it's not what it used to be. And 1044 00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,120 Speaker 1: I think from maybe it's just the athletes, all the 1045 00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,400 Speaker 1: information that they're getting on the financial aspect of it, 1046 00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:14,920 Speaker 1: they just feel like, hey, man, I want to make 1047 00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:18,040 Speaker 1: sure that I play for the next however long. And 1048 00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:21,200 Speaker 1: those are certain things that as competitors you don't respect. 1049 00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:23,280 Speaker 1: As you just pointed out. I mean, I just feel 1050 00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,960 Speaker 1: as though the hall of that game, the Pro Bowl 1051 00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:30,800 Speaker 1: is so important to football, to the psyche of players 1052 00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,200 Speaker 1: that play the game. You talk about the voting to 1053 00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,799 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame and all of that to be respected 1054 00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,080 Speaker 1: amongst your peers. Now, I think the voting had the 1055 00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:42,719 Speaker 1: voting change, it changed from the writers to the fans elect. Yeah, 1056 00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:45,520 Speaker 1: it's well, it's it's like a thirty each like it's 1057 00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:49,279 Speaker 1: I think it's players, coaches and fans. Players coaches and fans, right, 1058 00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,160 Speaker 1: and so they brought that aspect into it, and I 1059 00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:54,400 Speaker 1: think that changed a lot of it also for the 1060 00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:56,440 Speaker 1: players because they're like, wait a minute, you're voting for 1061 00:51:56,800 --> 00:52:00,120 Speaker 1: it turned into a popularity contest and not got that 1062 00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,920 Speaker 1: are actually out there ball. So you know. But I 1063 00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:07,239 Speaker 1: love the game. So anytime you could get some more football, yes, 1064 00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,359 Speaker 1: give it to me. I have no problem with no game. 1065 00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:12,960 Speaker 1: I have to I write this a story off the 1066 00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,359 Speaker 1: game every year and I'm just like, oh man, they're 1067 00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:17,759 Speaker 1: not even tackling each other, which which by the way, 1068 00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:20,319 Speaker 1: I have no problem with. I tweeted about this during 1069 00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:23,719 Speaker 1: the game this year. I said, Twitter seems big mad 1070 00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,319 Speaker 1: about no tackling in the Pro Bowl. Player's day job 1071 00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:28,239 Speaker 1: has a one hundred percent injury rate. I always say 1072 00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:31,239 Speaker 1: dead Lea's catch guys and let guys enjoy this without 1073 00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,319 Speaker 1: any real risk of getting hurt. There's a seventeenth game 1074 00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:37,920 Speaker 1: now too that these guys say, long season, and I 1075 00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,960 Speaker 1: have no problem because I can't do their job. I 1076 00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,759 Speaker 1: got no problem with guys not wanted to get hurt. Ye, 1077 00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:46,839 Speaker 1: and you know I got There were some big responses. Then, 1078 00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,319 Speaker 1: don't charge money to view this game of duck duck goose, 1079 00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:52,239 Speaker 1: That was the first reply I got. But I got 1080 00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:56,960 Speaker 1: no problem. I think a skills challenge where maybe you 1081 00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,719 Speaker 1: put some incentive on the line, you know, like that, 1082 00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:03,440 Speaker 1: or why do I keep saying dak Micah Parsons running 1083 00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:05,919 Speaker 1: the forty against Tyreek Hill, it's fun like that. That's 1084 00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:09,080 Speaker 1: something where nobody's probably gonna get hurt, but you can 1085 00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:13,000 Speaker 1: showcase the stars and guys still get a vacation and 1086 00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:16,120 Speaker 1: they still get the recognition. Like, to me, that's easy 1087 00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:17,719 Speaker 1: if you if you made it, if you took just 1088 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,279 Speaker 1: some of the combined drills, yeah, and put them out there, 1089 00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,719 Speaker 1: guys would do it. Bench press they still do. They 1090 00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:24,800 Speaker 1: still do all that stuff. Guys would do a bench prayers, 1091 00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,480 Speaker 1: vertical John Brod all that. Guys would do that be fun, 1092 00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:31,439 Speaker 1: that's competitive, that's competitive. Watch safe in a safe environment. Yeah, 1093 00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:33,160 Speaker 1: guys would do it. I would, and I would watch it, 1094 00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,239 Speaker 1: and I think the whole world will watch it because 1095 00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:37,160 Speaker 1: everybody and their mom would stay tuned and watches the 1096 00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:40,719 Speaker 1: combine without blinking. Right. They just said, I think you're 1097 00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:45,879 Speaker 1: gonna watch people compete if it's on TV. Competition, real 1098 00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:48,560 Speaker 1: competition though. But that's that's the reason why I can't 1099 00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,800 Speaker 1: watch basketball nowadays. It's hard for me to watch basketball 1100 00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:54,440 Speaker 1: because these tiki tech fouls. And if you ask if 1101 00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,560 Speaker 1: the NBA players nowadays and go back to the rules 1102 00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:58,200 Speaker 1: and from the eighties and nineties, they say, heck to 1103 00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:02,799 Speaker 1: the naw, yep, we gotta review that. We got Yeah, yeah, 1104 00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,880 Speaker 1: there's an elbow that. Oh God, take five minutes? Is 1105 00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,640 Speaker 1: it flagrant? Yeah? Okay. So I've got two ideas then 1106 00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pitch to you guys about fixing the Pro Bowl. 1107 00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:13,960 Speaker 1: The first one kind of merges what Heckman's talking about 1108 00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:17,040 Speaker 1: and what Rob's talking about. Keep the game, keep the 1109 00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:20,279 Speaker 1: football side of it, but make it more entertaining and 1110 00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:23,960 Speaker 1: less dangerous. It's been a joke previously, but I mean, 1111 00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:26,239 Speaker 1: I think this should be the case. I want it 1112 00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:29,440 Speaker 1: to be seven on seven flag football. Get the skills 1113 00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:32,439 Speaker 1: guys out there, quarterbacks, running backs, seven on seven. Run 1114 00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:34,600 Speaker 1: it just like you would a seven on seven tournament. 1115 00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:36,960 Speaker 1: Like all these guys at this point have played at 1116 00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:39,560 Speaker 1: some point throughout their career. Go seven on seven. Oh 1117 00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:41,960 Speaker 1: what do you do about the offensive linemen. They're the 1118 00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,719 Speaker 1: coaching staff. They're the ones that put everything together. They 1119 00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:49,000 Speaker 1: have you have responsibilities, divide it up, and your your 1120 00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:51,960 Speaker 1: offensive linemen are coaching the skills guys and then keep 1121 00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,359 Speaker 1: it as an incentive all the way through. I love it. 1122 00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:56,600 Speaker 1: I think that would be so fun to watch you 1123 00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:58,919 Speaker 1: mic up all the offensive lineman, so you have them 1124 00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:03,000 Speaker 1: jarring at skills guys, getting into their face and things 1125 00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:04,359 Speaker 1: like that all the way through. I think it would 1126 00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,120 Speaker 1: be really fun to watch. You like it. I love it. 1127 00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:09,960 Speaker 1: I mean the tackling out of it. This year's game 1128 00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,880 Speaker 1: was there were elements of two hand touch this year. 1129 00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:14,920 Speaker 1: That just was and they I mean, they call it 1130 00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:16,480 Speaker 1: a tackle game, but that's what it was. And again 1131 00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,480 Speaker 1: I got no problem with that, but that's that's kind 1132 00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,600 Speaker 1: of what it morphed into anyway. Yeah, so gives them FaceTime, 1133 00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:23,799 Speaker 1: gives the offensive lineman a chance to get some TV. 1134 00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:26,959 Speaker 1: Michael was trying to hit so much shine. What about 1135 00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:29,520 Speaker 1: there gonna do about your defensive lineman? You're there too? 1136 00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:33,080 Speaker 1: Oh no, they're they're there. They're there too. You'll well, 1137 00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,000 Speaker 1: edge rushers will be a part of that. It's seven 1138 00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,320 Speaker 1: on seven. You can put them out there play around 1139 00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:40,080 Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, what do you think? I like it? Yeah? 1140 00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:42,680 Speaker 1: I like it. Yeah, NOA for sure. I think it's 1141 00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:44,640 Speaker 1: a great idea. And then I've got a skills competition 1142 00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:47,040 Speaker 1: one too that I've been thinking about too. While I 1143 00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:49,080 Speaker 1: was trying to brainstorm how to fix the game, I 1144 00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:50,880 Speaker 1: was like, Oh, this would be fun. I want to 1145 00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:55,600 Speaker 1: what's one of the more exciting parts of just sports 1146 00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:59,359 Speaker 1: in general. How about penalty kicks in soccer where you've 1147 00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:02,440 Speaker 1: got easily made kick right at the beginning, and you've 1148 00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:04,399 Speaker 1: got a goalie trying to stop it. The goalie rarely 1149 00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:06,600 Speaker 1: gets it, but when he does, it's a highlight reel. 1150 00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,680 Speaker 1: It's a World Cup here too, exactly World Cup here. Yeah. 1151 00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:13,040 Speaker 1: I think you put a forty five yard kick, You 1152 00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:15,160 Speaker 1: put a kicker out there forty five yards, you gotta 1153 00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:16,920 Speaker 1: get it in. It's not an easy kick, but it's 1154 00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:19,920 Speaker 1: one that NFL kickers should nail nine times out of 1155 00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:23,279 Speaker 1: ten forty five yarders. And then I want standing at 1156 00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:25,880 Speaker 1: the goal line the quarterback of the opposing team, and 1157 00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:27,520 Speaker 1: I want him to try and skeet, shoot it out 1158 00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:29,560 Speaker 1: of the air, snipe it with the football. Have the 1159 00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:31,960 Speaker 1: quarterbacks try and target practice to try and keep it 1160 00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:35,319 Speaker 1: from going in the goalpost. Is the worst idea? Why 1161 00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:40,600 Speaker 1: is that bad? I swear to God it's penaltie kicks. 1162 00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:42,319 Speaker 1: It's back and forth. You have the three light if 1163 00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:46,160 Speaker 1: it goes in the X, and then the winner of it, 1164 00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:51,799 Speaker 1: like a goalie backyard, he goes keep shooting the ball whatever. Dynasty. Yes, 1165 00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:57,600 Speaker 1: it's more. It's more of a a way to do 1166 00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:01,879 Speaker 1: penalty kicks for a football. Bubble wrap the whole game 1167 00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,560 Speaker 1: and just take us. This is only a part of 1168 00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,440 Speaker 1: the skills competition. This isn't before the actual get mom 1169 00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,239 Speaker 1: and throw it over day year. Man. If I could 1170 00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:12,640 Speaker 1: just go back, if I could just go you know what, 1171 00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:14,600 Speaker 1: you're not a soccer guy, though, No I'm not. I'm not, 1172 00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:17,760 Speaker 1: and you know that. You know I'm not. And the 1173 00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,440 Speaker 1: deal is too. It's just I just feel I just 1174 00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:23,000 Speaker 1: feel the game getting softer and softer, and I just 1175 00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:25,360 Speaker 1: as you the more you talk, I just started wrapping 1176 00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:27,960 Speaker 1: myself in bubble wrap. I mean, like, how safe can 1177 00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:31,520 Speaker 1: this thing get? But it's what no, I get it. 1178 00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:34,120 Speaker 1: When Roger Goodell comes out and says we gotta do something, 1179 00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:38,360 Speaker 1: then you know, like Sean Taylor changed the Proboble, it 1180 00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:40,840 Speaker 1: won't happen. It won't happen. I understand. And like I said, 1181 00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:42,720 Speaker 1: I'm on the back end of the day train. I'm 1182 00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:45,600 Speaker 1: gonna get off now and we're gonna go skeet shoot football. 1183 00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:49,080 Speaker 1: Let's do it too. I want you, I want you 1184 00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:53,960 Speaker 1: snip football. I like it, Kyle. I don't know about 1185 00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:55,840 Speaker 1: the steet part. That's kind you don't like trying to 1186 00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:58,959 Speaker 1: like block it. I'm gonna stick with the performance side 1187 00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:04,000 Speaker 1: of love. Russell down down on the goal line trying 1188 00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:07,840 Speaker 1: to throw it out with Jonathan Garabay after he gets 1189 00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:10,040 Speaker 1: his throw ball. Oh wow, I want I want it. 1190 00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:12,000 Speaker 1: I want Russell Wilson trying to snipe it out of 1191 00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,720 Speaker 1: the air. I would watch the skills. Take the punters 1192 00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:18,200 Speaker 1: who can kick it the furthest who can kick it 1193 00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:20,200 Speaker 1: the highest. If you take field goal kickers who can 1194 00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,840 Speaker 1: have the longest field goals, agree the movable field goal 1195 00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:27,280 Speaker 1: like an arena shortened the posts most start you started 1196 00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:29,400 Speaker 1: talking about the defensive ends. Right, defensive end is going 1197 00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:31,200 Speaker 1: to go run to hoops. Who has the fastest time 1198 00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:34,080 Speaker 1: defensive linement and officeive linement. Who has the most most 1199 00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:38,400 Speaker 1: forced output in terms of punching? Bring back, bring back dodgeball? 1200 00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:42,160 Speaker 1: I had dodgeball. That was That was heck, that was fun. 1201 00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:49,480 Speaker 1: That was fun to watch. Line versus deal. Yes, Yes, 1202 00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:52,680 Speaker 1: what the hell are we doing it? But what are 1203 00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,040 Speaker 1: we doing? I like, it's a skills competition.
