20
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 4: He did.

21
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 5: I had to rebound from sleep, from coming in off

22
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 5: two hours on Monday.

23
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 4: And then still recovering.

24
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, recovery yesterday, Like there was a there was.

25
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 6: A part of me though when that media schedule came out,

26
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 6: they're moving today's stuff today afternoon because they treat I

27
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 6: guess the Sunday night game. Uh, Mike McCarthy wants to

28
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 6: give them like extra time. I guess, I don't know,

29
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 6: to rest or whatever. But like Wednesday stuff is way later.

30
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 6: Normally we'll do the show, then we'll go McCarthy locker

31
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 6: room practice, all that stuff. But now it's Mike McCarthy

32
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 6: isn't going until like, I don't know, three thirty thirty. Yeah,

33
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 6: So because of that, I was kind of thrown off

34
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 6: and thinking, oh, I don't have to be out there

35
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 6: three thirdy oh yeah, SHOWR you got a podcast.

36
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Uh, we're happy here here, so that's good. But yeah,

37
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: a little bit of a break for the guys, and

38
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: I think, I mean, forty to nothing, you kind of

39
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: deserve a little bit of a breather. And it's good

40
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: to get back into the swing of things because these

41
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: first three weeks. I've always said, and honestly I learned

42
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: this from Caden Gates, one of our producers. H my

43
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 2: first season in this position, it takes about three weeks

44
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: for everyone to fill into a rhythm, to to kind

45
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 2: of find their own footing, and whether it's from a

46
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: content standpoint or a production standpoint, or of course a

47
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: player standpoint, it takes a little bit of time to

48
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: get back into a full season's worth of rhythm. And

49
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: so I can only imagine the gentleman that travel here

50
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: that that makes things tougher for sure, going back and forth.

51
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 2: But Isaiah is still waking up. He's getting his black

52
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: rifle coffee.

53
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 4: It was my sleeping, Yeah, it wasn't. I didn't have

54
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 4: to wake up till six.

55
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 2: Okay, that's right.

56
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 5: I can probably count on my hand how many times

57
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 5: I'm woken up at six this year. Wow, I'm not.

58
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 6: And when you do, are you happy about that?

59
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 5: Heck?

60
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 4: No, no close.

61
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: With us previewing the defensive side of the football, I

62
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: have a fan quest if you want to tweet.

63
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 4: It in the Fan Questions today. Okay, let me find.

64
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 2: The text line and then I'll give you the fan question.

65
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: But I'll send you guys a question first. Have the

66
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 2: expectations changed on defense? Haveszick completely changed with the forty

67
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 2: to nothing blanking that they did against the New York

68
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: Giants on Sunday Night? Have the expectations changed at all?

69
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 2: Are they are they increased or do they stay right

70
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,399
Speaker 2: around the same with what you anticipated.

71
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 7: That'll be a negative ghostwriter. I believe that the expectations

72
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 7: are still the same. I think that my question marks

73
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 7: we're revolving around this defense are still in place in

74
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 7: terms of where the question marks actually laid, and obviously

75
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 7: that's going to be in a running game, and obviously

76
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 7: that would be tested today extreme this week. I would

77
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 7: assume as long as the Jets are not too far behind, Yeah.

78
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 6: They haven't changed. For me, I thought that this had

79
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 6: the potential being the best defense in the NFL, and

80
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 6: they certainly played like that week one, So yeah, I

81
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 6: agree with Isaiah the run game. The way the game started,

82
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 6: I give them a little bit of a pass just

83
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 6: because you have a bunch of starters that didn't play

84
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 6: in the preseason and they were getting gashed early on

85
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 6: for about six yards of carry get warmed up. Yeah,

86
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 6: and so if that carried down throughout the game, I

87
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 6: think it would have been a little bit more of

88
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 6: a concern. But I was impressed without Jonathan Hankins played

89
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 6: and I know says well in the middle. So the

90
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 6: other interesting part is just to see how guys like

91
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 6: Bell and Wayie times. Some of the safety is coming

92
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 6: up playing lineback. How would they hold up against the run?

93
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 6: And they did a good job Sunday night. But yeah, no,

94
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 6: expectations have not changed for me.

95
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 5: I'm the same. Expectations are still the same for me

96
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 5: because when we came into the season, we expected them

97
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 5: to be great and that's what they gave us in

98
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 5: Week one. I don't think we're going to get the

99
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 5: level of that greatness week in and week out. But

100
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 5: it's something I've been kind of thinking about last couple

101
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 5: of days. You know, what would be a disappointing effort,

102
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 5: you know, game by game for this defense. And I

103
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 5: think back to the Houston game last year. I think

104
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 5: back to the Jacksonville game last year, or even Green

105
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 5: Bay in the second half, and what were the the

106
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 5: causes of all those effects? It was lack of death.

107
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 5: And they had that depth now, whether that be the secondary,

108
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 5: whether that be on the defensive line, second level, whatever,

109
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 5: they have those pieces now. So fully my expectation is

110
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 5: for them not to have a lapse like they had

111
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 5: like last year on multiple ocasions. Like sure, over a

112
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 5: seventeen game season, you're gonna have a bad day that

113
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 5: will happen, But when it happens three four games in

114
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 5: a row, then you know that that's when it gets

115
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 5: a little worrisome to me. That's my expectation is that

116
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 5: that does not happen on a week two week basis,

117
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 5: and we haven't. We didn't see that week one, so

118
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 5: we saw the I think we saw the greatest of

119
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 5: what this product could look in week one.

120
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, does that? I feel like that's kind of the

121
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: reasoning behind the question though. If that's the greatest, if

122
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 2: that's the peak of what this product could look like,

123
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: then is there that much of a gap to where

124
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: the expectations do change a little bit moving forward? Or

125
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 2: do you expect more? There's like an it's hard, it's

126
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: hard to really push for more, right.

127
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's like an echelon and like they were up

128
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 5: here and they still could be here if they wanted

129
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 5: to be. You know, like it's still like this gap

130
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 5: of expectation that I have for them personally at least.

131
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: Was there any weak spot on the defense? Was there

132
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 2: anybody that or any position group that you looked at

133
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 2: and you said, Okay, they did not play their best game.

134
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: They did not go at least to that upper echelon

135
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: that you're talking about.

136
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 5: I guess we talked about DeMont Clark yesterday, and then

137
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 5: that kind of had to do with on the first

138
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 5: drive the running game kind of being able to pick

139
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 5: up those five six yards of carry, And you know,

140
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 5: I'd like to see that second level be a little

141
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 5: bit more improved from from that from last week. But

142
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 5: I would still give that grade pretty dang good.

143
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 8: You know.

144
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 5: I feel like the defense overall really executed. But Ffel

145
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 5: was nitpicking then maybe the second level.

146
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 6: I mean, I think it would be nitpicking to say

147
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 6: any of those groups this is the NFL. I understand

148
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 6: it's forded to nothing, and people just think that. You

149
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 6: can look back at the game and go ooh, I

150
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 6: don't know about that play that one right there. I

151
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 6: think Trayvon could have been like, what are we doing here?

152
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 6: It's forded to nothing? Like sure do that every week?

153
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 6: Start out, give up six yards a run on that

154
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 6: first series and play the rest of the game like that,

155
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 6: and you'll be remembered, like, you know, the eighty five Bears,

156
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 6: the two thousand Ravens, whatever legion of Boom Seahawks, whatever

157
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 6: you want to do there, they will be it won't

158
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 6: be best defense of this season in the NFL, it'll

159
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 6: be one of the like iconic great defenses. If you

160
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 6: continue to play like that, it's a lot to ask for.

161
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 4: We didn't talk about the nickname.

162
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 7: We had the whole conversation last year involving around the nickname,

163
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 7: and Micah just squashed everything.

164
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, just Doomsday, right.

165
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Legion of Doomsday. Yeah, yeah, that's what that's

166
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 2: what ended up. I think last year our our winner

167
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: was Legion of booms Day.

168
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 6: For the nickname.

169
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 4: I think Mike had just ended all that.

170
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the Legion of Doomsday. That's what its official.

171
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 2: It's different Legion of doombyna argue with him.

172
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll take it. I'll take it you.

173
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 4: Micah shirt, it's going to.

174
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. As soon as he said it was like okay

175
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 2: in to print, so okay. So then on the opposite

176
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 2: side of that question, if if we don't want to nitpick,

177
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: let's let's nitpick in a good way. Which which unit

178
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: impressed you the most in that matchup and how can

179
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: they continue that against the Jets in Week two? Was

180
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: it the pass rush, the secondary corner safety, the unit.

181
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 4: That impressed me? The most we're talking about just defense.

182
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like giving a player of the game. It's

183
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: hard to do. The smelly stickers were tough this week.

184
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 4: I honestly seven. This is gonna sound really bad.

185
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 9: I was.

186
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 4: I wasn't impressed. It was it was an expectation for me.

187
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 5: Seven sacks.

188
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 4: Yes, for any team that gets behind.

189
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: Yes, we talked about the possibility of hitting seventy sacks

190
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:20,239
Speaker 2: or whatever.

191
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 4: The I mean the number was. I know I probably

192
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 4: sound dirt, but I.

193
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 6: Said, but that's they're well on.

194
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 4: I mean, that's that's honestly for me.

195
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 7: That was the expectation for any for a team that

196
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 7: is offensively built, is built offensively like the Giants are. Okay,

197
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 7: that's predicated primarily on the run. If you get behind,

198
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 7: you're unable to run. That's what I expect. That's what

199
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 7: I expect. Honestly, that's truly what I expect. That's why

200
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 7: I was.

201
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 4: I was unamused. When I was watching the game, it

202
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 4: was another one. Hope somebody else cool, Right, you watch.

203
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 2: The Sounds of the Sideline this week?

204
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 4: I didn't.

205
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: Oh, you gotta watch it. It's really good.

206
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 4: It was fun.

207
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: It was fun, Oh, said Diggy's who was on the

208
00:08:55,520 --> 00:09:00,599
Speaker 2: sideline and he's he's pulling the oprah uh saying he's like,

209
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 2: you get a sack, you get a sack he stole,

210
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: he goes, he goes, look under your seat and everybody

211
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 2: would receive a sack like it's just like a whole thing.

212
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 2: Go check it out. And Alex slowly did a great

213
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 2: job as always seven sacks times seventeen and nineteen.

214
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 6: Did I just did that?

215
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 10: Did you?

216
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 4: I know? Yeah?

217
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 6: Right, yeah, yeah, I would say for me, it's that

218
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 6: hybrid linebacker safety group that included Bell, Juan Ye Thomas.

219
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:27,599
Speaker 10: I get it.

220
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 6: They look good in training camp, they look good in

221
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 6: the preseason. It's another for Week one to step in

222
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 6: the way they did. I mean, there were some plays

223
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 6: that Bell made that he looked like he'd been playing

224
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 6: like he is a full time starting NFL linebacker. That

225
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 6: that's I just impressed me. Like I expected him to

226
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 6: get in and have a role. I didn't think he

227
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 6: would make as many plays that he did, And now

228
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 6: makes me look at their linebacker group a lot different

229
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 6: than I did when they originally cut it down to

230
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 6: fifty three. You know, you see overshow and go down

231
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 6: you think and man, that's probably a weak spot right there,

232
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 6: but a man, I think get that production for those

233
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 6: guys going forward, they'll be fine at linebacker.

234
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

235
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I would give it to the pass rush group

236
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 5: just because of the dominance that they had from the

237
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 5: very gig go and being able to just overwhelm the

238
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 5: right side of that offensive line. I know we talked

239
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 5: about it last couple of days, but that was just unreal.

240
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 2: I liked your Nicked Night, by the way, the column

241
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 2: that you just put on Dallas Cowboys dot Com kind

242
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 2: of spoke to what John's talking about about that depth.

243
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter how the role players got here, but

244
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: they're here now and you got to take advantage of them.

245
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 2: Kind of go through your I guess inspiration to write

246
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 2: that piece in the way that you did, because it

247
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 2: did it outlined exactly how a game like that happens

248
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 2: because you need it from all three phases. You need

249
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,599
Speaker 2: it from every guy on the roster. You need it

250
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 2: from your depth, and I think the depth was just

251
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 2: as impressive as some of the starting players and some

252
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 2: of the superstars were in that game.

253
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was more so thinking back to the offseason,

254
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 5: whenever you know somebody made the fifty three cut, or

255
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 5: somebody was traded for in Igbinoghani's case, or you know,

256
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 5: an acquisition was made and it's you know, Twitter being

257
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 5: Twitter and it's like, who's this guy? Why does this matter?

258
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 5: You know, screw that through this and all those guys

259
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 5: that would be quote unquote forgotten are not cared about

260
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 5: when they're acquired. Those were the guys that set the

261
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 5: tone on Sunday. It was you know, it was one

262
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 5: year Thomas coming and blocking the field goal was no

263
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 5: eggnogny running it down the sideline. You know, when Deron

264
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,599
Speaker 5: Bland was drafted, you know, probably people didn't give a

265
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 5: give a damn about that, and then he's the one

266
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 5: that gets to pick six. So it was a lot

267
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 5: of those guys setting the tone. And you know it's

268
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 5: basically like, you know, don't it shouldn't matter how they

269
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 5: get here. They're here now and they're performing now.

270
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 6: So the other things like what it was about, I

271
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 6: think like about that is that I mean, just from

272
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 6: my perspective of covering the Dallas Cowboys, there's probably too

273
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 6: much focus on the stars like that is generally, you know,

274
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 6: you're playing the hits when you when you cover this team,

275
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 6: you're that and nationally that's what's being talked about all

276
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 6: the time and stuff. So when you see some of

277
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 6: these players that aren't talk about as much because even

278
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 6: like undrafted guys fits around pick stuff like that. I'm

279
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 6: even gonna include somebody like a Dante follower that you

280
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 6: kind of sometimes forget, like how many times were you

281
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 6: sitting there talking about like, oh, Dante followed this. Dante

282
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 6: followed that during like training camp, and he kind of

283
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 6: goes under the radar and then you just watch the

284
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 6: way he plays in that game, you forget like, oh, yeah,

285
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 6: you know, I mean that's a really high round pick

286
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 6: or high pick and it just comes from some areas

287
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 6: that you don't I mean, you're expecting Mike, you know,

288
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 6: you're expecting you know, CD and tray Von Diggs and

289
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 6: Dak and stuff like that. But to see some of

290
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 6: the guys that you mentioned right there throwing a Cavante Turpin.

291
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 6: Cavanti Turpin had three carries. He had three carries off

292
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 6: last season. He had three receptions. I think he only

293
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 6: had two last season. So the fact of like them

294
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 6: getting hit him that involved. I don't think there's anybody

295
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 6: that really expected that Week one from Cavante Turpin.

296
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 2: So it was quick the way that they were able

297
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 2: to get him involved. The fact that Turpin was utilized

298
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 2: the way that he was. I mean, that's that's been

299
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 2: an emphasis. That's been something that the coaching staff has

300
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 2: talked about. But like you said, John, I don't think

301
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 2: you expected it in week one like that.

302
00:12:59,240 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 9: I like it.

303
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 7: I like I mean, listen, coach McCarthy, I believe that

304
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 7: he not only possesses the knowledge and the wisdom right

305
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 7: from his past experiences, but I also believe that he

306
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 7: learns from dan Quinn and I think they learned from

307
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 7: each other, and I think that's a relationship that they

308
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,119
Speaker 7: have and to say that they don't would be ridiculous.

309
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 7: Just because you're in the head coach of position doesn't

310
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 7: mean that you can't pick up insight from others. And

311
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 7: I think that one thing by being around dan Quinn

312
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 7: that he's learned is put your players in a position

313
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 7: to be successful, regardless of how high caliber they are

314
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 7: or not. Right, So you talk about somebody like Turpin

315
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 7: who his sole purpose and sole job this training camp

316
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 7: was to earn the trust of the offense, earn the

317
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 7: trust of those of coach McCarthy, a Schotenheimer earned their

318
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 7: trust that they can trust you as an offensive threat.

319
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 7: And he did that in training camp, not in the preseason.

320
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 7: He did it in training camp. And because he did

321
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 7: it in training camp, and they saw it every day

322
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 7: through and through, saw his ability to take the plays,

323
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 7: apply the plays, do the assignments, all those things. Now,

324
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 7: you put yourself in a position to be utilized in

325
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 7: a game like that outside of your position, simply because

326
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 7: the fact that these coaches trust you, so it just

327
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 7: adds another threat. The guys are not this roster this

328
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 7: team on both all three phases, regardless of what your

329
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 7: position title is, they are going to put you in

330
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 7: position to be successful. And I think that's an awesome

331
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 7: thing about this team.

332
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 6: And the other thing about the turf and thing going

333
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 6: tying that in. There's a lot of things that he

334
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 6: did that you can sit there and go, well, they

335
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 6: can do some of the stuff with duce Vaughn too.

336
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 6: You know, they never really had to get to the

337
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 6: duce Vawn part of anything because they did de late

338
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 6: in the game, but obviously it was already over. But

339
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 6: I'm talking about with like the ones mixing him in

340
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 6: in certain situations teams as they're playing. And that stands

341
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 6: out to me because of there's just been many times

342
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 6: over the last couple of years where Mike McCarthy's talked

343
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 6: about them being like a dome team, even though you know,

344
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 6: they don't really play in a dome. It's technically indoor

345
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 6: outdoor type stadium, but they're built like that. They play

346
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 6: on turf, they're built to, you know, have a fast

347
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 6: team that you could really take advantage of some of

348
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 6: those those different things. And so to see that in

349
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 6: that game, that was that was pretty interesting because I

350
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 6: was not expecting that type of usage from from from Turpin,

351
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 6: not in some meaningful roles right away. I thought maybe

352
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 6: it would grow to that, but yeah, that was that

353
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 6: was I didn't expect.

354
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: That Interurpin wasn't the only one that shined during training

355
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 2: camp and the preseason and got their shot in Week one.

356
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 2: I mean, we've talked about it at nauseum about Janye Thomas.

357
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 2: I think it's the best example of that. Marquise Bell

358
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 2: is in there too, but you also look at some

359
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: of the other guys, I mean, Layton Vandersh and Michael Parsons.

360
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 2: We were talking about that that set where Parsons is

361
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 2: rushing as as the nose tackle he's as a zero technique.

362
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 2: Then you have Layton van Derresh coming off the edge.

363
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 2: What happened A pressure happened in that uh in that

364
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 2: play whenever they pulled it out, And that's probably not

365
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: the only time you're going to see a look like

366
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: that from dan Quinn. He's gonna mix it up a

367
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 2: little bit.

368
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 5: I charted it at least three times, and yeah, I

369
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 5: still need to go back and give it a full,

370
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 5: full end depth chart. But during the game, I gave

371
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 5: it three times and I believe they were able to

372
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 5: generate pressure on the backfield on two of those.

373
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 2: So we talked about OSA. We talked about and even

374
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 2: from an offensive standpoint. I know this is the defensive preview,

375
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 2: but from an offensive standpoint, we also talked about the

376
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 2: iron sharpens iron a lot when we were in Oxnard,

377
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 2: about how facing this defense constantly is going to make

378
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 2: you better. Talk about the offensive line in the way

379
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: that they stood up against a really good defensive front

380
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: from New York. And you have Chiuwa Madoga coming in,

381
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: plugging in not necessarily lighting the world on fire, but

382
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 2: also doing his job the right way. It's probably because

383
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 2: he was facing Mike Hah Parsons and Osa Digizua and

384
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 2: Jonathan Hankins and these guys that just flashed on Sunday

385
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 2: Night football. He was able to do that in practice

386
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 2: and face him in practice every single day.

387
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 4: Yeah.

388
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 7: I know, that's why I stayed away from now because

389
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 7: I know we're on defense today, but that was my

390
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 7: vote for most impressive offensive line.

391
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 4: Didn't expect that level of performance against them, okay, And.

392
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 6: There are definitely times in practice in training camp where

393
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 6: those practices would have looked exactly like the Giants game

394
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 6: did for the Cowboys offense. Yeah, there's a thing where

395
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 6: you can't hit Dak Prescott, you have to run by him,

396
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 6: and so it allows him to do a scramble drill

397
00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 6: and things like that where the play just doesn't stopped.

398
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 6: There were many times out there where you were like,

399
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 6: if this was a game, I mean, they would three

400
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 6: and out, three and out, three and out.

401
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 2: That's gonna be one of my lasting impressions if this

402
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 2: defense turns into what you were talking about earlier, where

403
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 2: they're compared to the two thousand Ravens, they're compared to

404
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 2: the eighty five Bears and the Steelers of the seventies,

405
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 2: if they're compared as an all time great defense, one

406
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 2: of my early lasting impressions is going to be Micah

407
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 2: Parsons in the backfield, Osa Digizoo in the backfield, DeMarcus

408
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 2: Lawrence in the backfield. Almost every snap in Ox started,

409
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: and just to the point where it was like, all right, guys,

410
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 2: we got to just take two steps and slow down,

411
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 2: just because we got to practice something on offense. We

412
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 2: got to get a clean pass off. That's got to

413
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 2: get some kind of read. That's what it'll look like.

414
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 2: But that's what it looked like again in week one.

415
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 2: So hopefully that continues going up against the Jets. But

416
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 2: when we come back here on Talking Cowboys, how much

417
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 2: of a threat are the Wilsons, Garrett and Zach. How

418
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 2: much of a threat do they pose to this Dallas defense?

419
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 2: And how can the Cowboys continue to get after the

420
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 2: quarterback and try and slow down on the mobile Zach Wilson.

421
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 11: When we come back right after this on Talking Cowboys,

422
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 11: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

423
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 11: Cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought

424
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 11: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

425
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 11: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

426
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: But the good news is Todd has at and T

427
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 2: five G.

428
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 11: It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he learned the

429
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 11: best thing to do is stop running and toss her

430
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 11: the backpack with the beef stew at and T five G. Fast, reliable, secure,

469
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 10: a kind soda. Yes, any doctor Pepper flavor will do.

470
00:19:58,600 --> 00:19:58,719
Speaker 2: Now.

471
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 10: Just a reminder that I don't to be a real

472
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 10: doctor to know that doctor Pepper is the one you deserve.

473
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 2: To Talking Cowboys back here on Talking Cowboys presented by

474
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 2: Black Rifle Coffee Company. This segment is brought to you

475
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 2: by Invisilne, the official smile of the Dallas Cowboys. All Right,

476
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,719
Speaker 2: our fan question today, Give us a text eight one

477
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 2: seven two nine zero three two nine to eight. Which

478
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 2: unit has the biggest step up against the Jets in

479
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 2: week two versus what you saw in week one? Not

480
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 2: necessarily who had the best game in week one or

481
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 2: who's going to have the best game in week two,

482
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 2: but who sees the biggest improvement. Will debate that in

483
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 2: the third segment. But send us a text.

484
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:50,719
Speaker 5: One of defense.

485
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 2: Uh no, it's both sides of the ball. Yeah, both

486
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 2: sides of the ball. Eight one seven two nine zero

487
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 2: three two nine to eight. I put it on Twitter

488
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 2: as well. You can respond there if you don't want

489
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 2: to text in. All right, Jets offensive preview No, Aaron Rodgers.

490
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 2: Of course, we're not gonna really harp on that too much.

491
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 2: He played four snaps for the Jets, goes down with

492
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 2: an achilles' injuries, out for the season and a significant

493
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 2: amount of time. Hope the best for his recovery and

494
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,719
Speaker 2: the Jets are in a bind. I mean, it's kind

495
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 2: of where it is. You expected Zach Wilson as a

496
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 2: top two pick to come in and at least show

497
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 2: something now learning under Aaron Rodgers. One game down and

498
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 2: it looked like the old Zach Wilson and the reason

499
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 2: why they went and got Aaron Rodgers instead. But Nick,

500
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,239
Speaker 2: when you look at this Jets offense, where are they

501
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 2: still dangerous? Where can they still hurt?

502
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 5: The Cowboys run game Breese Hall and Dalvin Cook, that's

503
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 5: gonna be They probably get thirty carries total between the

504
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 5: two of them. I believe they had twenty eight of

505
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 5: rushes on Monday night, so and that was changing the

506
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 5: game plan up on off a whim. So I think

507
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 5: they're gonna get a lot of run on Sunday, especially

508
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 5: wanting to test this Cowboys rush defense. I see how

509
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 5: improved it is from a year ago. You could expect

510
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 5: a lot of Bristol on, a lot of Tought and Cook,

511
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 5: and probably a little bit of Michael Carter thrown in

512
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 5: there too.

513
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, Garrett Wilson's obviously scary, but I don't

514
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 6: see how they would be building the game plan around

515
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 6: throwing to Garrett Wilson over utilizing that run game, averaging

516
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 6: six yards of carry, the most of any team in

517
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 6: that first week. You have a quarterback that is not great,

518
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 6: and he's going to be making, you know, his first

519
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 6: road start of the season against a defensive line that

520
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 6: I'm sure he's probably a little nervous about after watching

521
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 6: or whenever he does watch the film of the Giants game.

522
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 6: I mean, if you don't watch football and you just

523
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 6: look at stats, you'd look at and be like, well,

524
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 6: his numbers aren't bad, they're pretty simp Zach Wilson's numbers

525
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 6: are pretty smilar what Daks were week one. But if

526
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 6: you watch the game, you're not thinking that he's going

527
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 6: to be the one that they're gonna be building anything around.

528
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 6: It's going to be a we're going to try and

529
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 6: establish the run. We're gonna hope that that has the

530
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 6: type of success that it had Monday night, and then

531
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 6: off of that, maybe we can get some guys open

532
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 6: and things like that. Just the fact of that defensive

533
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 6: front and the defensive backs that they can throw at

534
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 6: Garrett Wilson, I would be very surprised if he had

535
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 6: a big game the.

536
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 2: So Garrett Wilson in that game against the against the

537
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills on which, don't.

538
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 6: Get me wrong, nothing against him. I mean, no, he's

539
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 6: fantastic potential.

540
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 2: But then you're you're facing guys that aren't Trayvon Diggs

541
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 2: and Steffan Gilmour defensively, I mean, you look at his

542
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 2: numbers receiving wise, five catches, thirty four yards. Alan Lazard

543
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 2: was the most effective player as a wide receiver. I

544
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 2: think he's I still think he's an underrated player. But

545
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 2: also he had the connection with Aaron Rodgers, right, yeah,

546
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 2: he still had forty six yards with Zach Wilson, but

547
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 2: they still.

548
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 6: At the team and you look at those receivers, there's

549
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 6: just a party. We're like, yeah, this could be real

550
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 6: good with Aaron Rodgers. Sure, but that's with Aaron Rodgers.

551
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 6: This is a significant step down. And so because of that,

552
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 6: you know, it doesn't make it look nearly as daunting

553
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 6: like with Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, Garrett Wilson might get fifteen

554
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 6: to twentydown catches, you know, if Aaron Rodgers was to

555
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 6: stay healthy for a full season.

556
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 4: But why he apologized to him the interview. He said, sorry, Cude, Yeah,

557
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 4: that was he knew that's tough.

558
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, but Garret Wilson was already there. He's a dude,

559
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 6: so he was already there. No, no, no, no, I'm

560
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 6: but I was just gonna say, but so, yeah, you

561
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 6: can say sorry to him, But like, what about all

562
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 6: the guys that joined. That's just because Rodgers is here,

563
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 6: that's the only one that That's the one I thought,

564
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 6: because I saw that thing too about him saying he

565
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 6: was sorry to be there. He was probably pumped when

566
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 6: he saw that Rogers.

567
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 2: But that was a chance for him to to really

568
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 2: take a step up. Where where can Zach Wilson still

569
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 2: beat you?

570
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 4: Though? I mean, that's the thing.

571
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 2: It's an NFL game. I mean we got to give

572
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 2: him some flowers.

573
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 6: You watch you watch the draft stuff. What did you

574
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 6: think about him coming out of b YU, Like did

575
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 6: you wasn't super high? Okay. The reason I'm asking you

576
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 6: this is because there were a lot of people pre

577
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 6: draft that were like this clear early, clearly one of

578
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 6: the you know, a top two three pick in the draft,

579
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 6: and I was.

580
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 4: Never you weren't on that bandwagon.

581
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 6: Well, I gotta admit, I got admit my biases. So

582
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 6: if I'm an NFL GM, I'm probably never going to

583
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 6: end up with Josh Allen, for example, Carson Wentz because

584
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 6: I am a I lean towards the big schools, like

585
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 6: the Power five type quarterbacks that I can see what

586
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 6: they've done against the other top echelon of talent.

587
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 4: You wouldn't have picked the quarterback out of Jackson State.

588
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 6: Uh, probably not.

589
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 2: Probably not.

590
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 6: But now when that quarterback shows you, when a different

591
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 6: Jackson State quarterback shows you what they can do at Colorado, then.

592
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, come on, the same dude, It is the same dude.

593
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 6: I'm just saying that's just the way I'm not saying

594
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 6: i'd be a good GM with you.

595
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 5: Context is very important, and I'm with you there.

596
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 2: So here's what I had in the twenty twenty one draft.

597
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 2: I had all my nuggas' bags are on Nike. Yeah, okay,

598
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 2: don't get me wrong.

599
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 8: Here.

600
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 2: I had Zach Wilson as the twelfth overall player. He

601
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 2: was the third quarterback behind Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields.

602
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 4: I had Lawrence number one.

603
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 2: I had Justin Fields as the number three overall player

604
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 2: in the draft, and then it was Wilson twelve Trey

605
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 2: Lance fourteen. So that was where I had them all ranked.

606
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 2: I had four first round grades on quarterbacks. Wilson was

607
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 2: a first round grade, but he was like a low

608
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 2: end first round grade, and I kind of I gave

609
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 2: him a little bit of a little bit of a

610
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 2: bump in terms of overall grade. Here's my scouting report.

611
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 2: Special arm talent with the ability to improvise when in

612
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 2: trouble by his times with his legs, and is able

613
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 2: to make NFL caliber throws to anywhere on the field.

614
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 2: The con though only allowed a year of high level

615
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 2: production due to injury history in the past head and shoulder,

616
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 2: was able to get away with some things against group

617
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 2: of five competition that he would have no chance to

618
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 2: get away with against NFL talent. The one year wonder

619
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 2: of the twenty twenty one draft class, Wilson's twenty one

620
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 2: season was one for the books. Thirty two touchdowns, three interceptions,

621
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 2: all career numbers, and in fantastic fashion in a group

622
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 2: of five only schedule. However, his first year in the

623
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 2: league will be a tough adjustment, but he has the

624
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 2: intangibles at an NFL quarterback needs and I compared him

625
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 2: to Baker Mayfield. So and I wasn't super high on

626
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield either. If I'm being real, I didn't have

627
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 2: the detailed charts and the scouting reports at that point

628
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 2: in time that I.

629
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 6: Didn't mean, Oh, I don't think that you're alone on

630
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 6: that one. I think that's one of the best things

631
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 6: that Baker has going for him is that he uses

632
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 6: that chip on his shoulder because there's so many people

633
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 6: that are like, this is the guy that went one,

634
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 6: like they went one and here then again.

635
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 2: I don't know, mind, you look good in Tampa.

636
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 6: When I talk about liking quarterbacks, like what they do

637
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 6: at the power five level, Like one of my favorites

638
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 6: is Tua. Now he has the injury, so you have

639
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 6: to factor that, but just what he did at Alabama,

640
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 6: like big moments like that, to me is that that

641
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 6: translating what he did there to the NFL is just

642
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 6: a lot easier for me to do so. And again,

643
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 6: I'm not a helot evaluator, and I wouldn't. I'm not

644
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 6: saying i'd be a good one. But with Trevor Lawrence, Tua.

645
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, both of those. The thing with with these teams.

646
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 6: Ideah, I'm talking about if I have a top fight,

647
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 6: I'm not talking about finding diamonds in the rough here. Okay,

648
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 6: I'm talking about I got to talk over here because

649
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 6: here's here's the thing real quick, and it kind of

650
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 6: goes back to the Trey Lance thing. Okay, I get

651
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 6: with the forty nine ers, you know you can. And

652
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 6: my actually guess it goes with the Eagles too. There's

653
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 6: just so much on you when you're on the GM

654
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 6: and they're like, Okay, we need a quarterback. We're gonna

655
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 6: use a high pick. Better get this thing right. And

656
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 6: so that's why I'm saying I would lean in that

657
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 6: direction because I'm feeling if this doesn't hit, it could

658
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 6: be my job. But I guess the opposite side is

659
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 6: is it it isn't the job because it's not like

660
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 6: it effectored in. It didn't hurt John Lynch, it didn't

661
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 6: hurt Howie Roseman. They're looked at as like two of

662
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 6: the best. So but for me personally, that's always part

663
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 6: of it where I'm like, if I swing and miss

664
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 6: on this, am I am? I done? It's my only

665
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 6: chance I ever got a chance to run a team.

666
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 4: So yeah, so question, Yeah, they don't have another quarterback

667
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 4: on the roster, do they.

668
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 5: I mean, they do think it's a Brett Rippion.

669
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not anybody significant though. Why why do you ask?

670
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 7: Because I have a feeling that he's gonna be running

671
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 7: for his life in this game, and they might want

672
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 7: to have somebody on standby.

673
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 2: Is it that offensive line that worries you?

674
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 7: No, it's just I don't force I'm I know for

675
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 7: a fact, there's gonna be a huge point of emphasis

676
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 7: place on stopping the run.

677
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 4: We all know that load the box, do Una loaded up?

678
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 7: Because you're not threatened by Wilson beating you over the top,

679
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 7: especially when you have Trayvon Diggsi Stepan Killo. I'm not thritting.

680
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 7: I can come up and press you because I still

681
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 7: got some dogs even behind them. So I'm gonna make

682
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 7: it hard on you to throw the ball over the top,

683
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 7: and I'm allowing my boys to get home and I'm

684
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 7: gonna stop the run. So being that, there's gonna be

685
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 7: a point emphasis place on stopping the run, I for see. Okay, yeah,

686
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 7: I foresee the Jets be in a situation where they

687
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 7: have to throw themselves back into the game. Okay, whether

688
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 7: that be down my ten, whether that be down my said,

689
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 7: whatever that might be here forty.

690
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 4: I don't care.

691
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 6: Can we pretend that you're Robert Sala right now, and

692
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 6: what would you be trying to do right now if

693
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 6: you if if they literally were like, hey, Roberts, this week,

694
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 6: we need.

695
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 4: You to wishbone.

696
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 5: Here's Robert.

697
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 7: I want ie formation wishbone thirteen personnel like Brian.

698
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 2: Dabele brought out the wishbones.

699
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 4: He sure did, We sure did, thirteen person year.

700
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 7: I am coming downhill, downhill, and I am trying to

701
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 7: run all the clock off all of it. Yeah, okay,

702
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 7: I want I want nine minute drives. Okay, even if

703
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 7: we in the field goals, I.

704
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 6: Wanta drives sustainable against his defense though they're going.

705
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 4: To find out.

706
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't find out.

707
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 7: I mean seriously, I mean if you can find yourself

708
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 7: in in short down and distance, third and threes, I

709
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 7: mean anybody can convert those. Yeah, I don't care how

710
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 7: much of a threat you feel, you know, your defense

711
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 7: might be. Most teams in the NFL can convert third

712
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 7: and three. They have enough weapons to do that. I

713
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 7: don't care if that's Wilson being in a shotgun and

714
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 7: being able to get out the pocket, step in and out,

715
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 7: or whatever, catching us in the stunts that Dallas likes

716
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 7: to run. You can convert some some short down in

717
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 7: distance which will allow you to move the change, which

718
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 7: allows for you to get back into your run, all

719
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 7: those things. But Dallas is going to have to take

720
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 7: them out of that often in early That's easier said

721
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 7: than done. Even with their office line question marks. They

722
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 7: got two dogs at running back, and we know that

723
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 7: those are two starters on any team.

724
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 2: The backup quarterback, by the way, for Zach Wilson is

725
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 2: Tim Boyle, the Eastern Kentucky product, and he was on

726
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 2: the practice squad last week, so they'll elevate him.

727
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 4: He'll be elevated.

728
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 6: He'll make a movie tomorrow. They'll probably get picky whether

729
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 6: they say most likely, they'll probably sign a free agent.

730
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 2: Who do you think they'd go and try and look at?

731
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 5: Matt Ryan?

732
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 4: Would be fun.

733
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 6: I know people keep saying that Carson Wentz is out

734
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 6: there Kobe on a roster, Yes.

735
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, yeah, I.

736
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 6: Think I think Wentz probably is. Maybe, I guess, I

737
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 6: don't know. I don't want to say that. I don't

738
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 6: like the options there. I'm trying to make a trade

739
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 6: for James Winston.

740
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 2: Hmm, Yeah, that would be interesting. That would now, that

741
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 2: would be fun. Now would he start against Dallas in

742
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 2: week two? No? Definitely not no. But if you're gonna

00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 11: Savannah Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought online

779
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 11: was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be faster

780
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 11: than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

781
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 11: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

782
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 11: five G. It is fast, reliable and secure, and he

783
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 11: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

784
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 11: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

785
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 11: T five G. Fast, reliable, secure, It's not complicated.

786
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 8: Five G requires compatible planning device. Five G may not

Speaker 2: the back. I'm Kyle Yeoman's am shuring your text messages

794
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,919
Speaker 2: eight one to seven two nine zero three two nine eight.

795
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 2: Time to debate which unit has the best step up

796
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 2: against the Jets this week. Not necessarily the best, not

797
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 2: who's going to be the best, but who is the

798
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 2: best improvement from Week one to Week two Isaiah looks

799
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 2: like he wants the.

800
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 4: Tight end group. Boo boom, He's don Michael Michaels, that's

801
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:26,439
Speaker 4: what That's what really.

802
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 2: The majority of the text messages have said so far.

803
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 2: Mario in South Texas said it a second ago. Biggest

804
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 2: improvement will be the tight ends. They had limited opportunities

805
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 2: because of the flow of the game, but I believe

806
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 2: they will be a bigger part in the play Action again,

807
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 2: play action game this Sunday. Collectively that we're going to

808
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 2: combine for over one hundred yards and at least one touchdown.

809
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 2: Get after Mario, I like it.

810
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 4: That's right.

811
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 6: He had the hender shot. I mean that ball that

812
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 6: was a touchdown.

813
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 2: If he makes that grab, Dak Prescott's stat line looks

814
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 2: exponentially better.

815
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, tight ends is probably number one. I would say

816
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 6: production from wide receivers. But at the same time, like

817
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 6: going against this Jets defense, I don't know how much

818
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 6: you're gonna see there. I just I'm gonna I'm gonna

819
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 6: go with Brandon Aubrey doesn't miss a kick, so that'll

820
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 6: be a step up from the first game. I just

821
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 6: think I think that was good for him to get

822
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 6: that out of the way. Yeah, I don't think that.

823
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,760
Speaker 6: He just hasn't had a ton of, you know, opportunities

824
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 6: because of preseason there weren't as many field goal opportunities

825
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 6: as I was thinking he was gonna get and things

826
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 6: like that. So I think he I think he has

827
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 6: a flawless game in this one, and he wasn't that

828
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 6: far off. I mean outside of that miss extra point.

829
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 6: I mean I thought he played well. No, he did

830
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,399
Speaker 6: play well, especially when you, I mean literally are watching

831
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 6: a game where you're like this, they paid money, like

832
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 6: decent money for this kicker, and this team really didn't

833
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 6: invest anything in there, and this kicker definitely outplayed that kicker.

834
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 4: So double J approved. He said, we got ourselves a kicker.

835
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 6: I will.

836
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 2: When he missed the pat, we all collectively in the

837
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 2: studio we're like, oh yeah, uh oh, here we go.

838
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 6: I'm sure Jerry was doing the same thing.

839
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

840
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 5: It's one of their last eight pats that they had

841
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 5: converted going back to the Washington game last year at

842
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:11,760
Speaker 5: that point, and then he ruttled off four straight.

843
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,800
Speaker 7: So I have helped I have a visual that like

844
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 7: will play as soon as that happened, soon as that

845
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 7: shank happened, will McLay grabbed his phone and Jerry say,

846
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 7: hold on now, will give him a chance.

847
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 2: Let him cook.

848
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 7: If you would have missed one more, pushed the button,

849
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 7: pushed the dog on button, called him up.

850
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 2: That's funny, you say that's old. That is funny.

851
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,760
Speaker 6: You say that because I actually think it's a complete

852
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 6: one eighty.

853
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 4: You think it's opposite.

854
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's Jerry, go get somebody else ready

855
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 6: and we'll be like that, just hold on, let's just

856
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 6: give him, let's just play this thing out. I just

857
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,839
Speaker 6: don't I've never gotten the sense that Jerry has much

858
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 6: patience for.

859
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 2: For kickers, especially with p a ts. Yeah, especially with p.

860
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 6: It's just one of those spots that I think it

861
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 6: bothers him.

862
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 5: You know who Jerry's really attributed it to. It's it's Stephen.

863
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 5: He's like, oh, this kicker, I think said after the

864
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 5: Tuesday He's like, you know, Steven found him a guy.

865
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 6: You know.

866
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 5: So that's kind of fun that he was able to

867
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 5: put that together.

868
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 4: Trying to put the blame.

869
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, right down the road. Yeah, that's interesting. What do

870
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 2: you think which which units is the biggest improvement?

871
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I was gonna say tight end group for sure,

872
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 5: but I'll just say pass catching as a whole statistically

873
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 5: wasn't the you know, most impressive group from from Sunday night,

874
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 5: but they didn't have to be. They still were able

875
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 5: to get open and make plays when they needed it.

876
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 5: You know, Ceedee Lamb on the very first offensive drive

877
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 5: being able to haul in that forty nine yard reception

878
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 5: and you know, go down the sideline in big parts.

879
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 5: Jake Ferguson as well on that play. But I'm just

880
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 5: gonna say the passing group as a whole, I think

881
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 5: they get a you know, one hundred yard receiver. I

882
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 5: think Brandon Cooks gets a lot more involved. You know,

883
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 5: you saw him getting involved on third down on some

884
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 5: quick slants and stuff, and I really loved to see

885
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 5: that because they didn't really have that safety net last year.

886
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 5: I think that's going to help their third downplay a

887
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 5: whole lot, just because he's able to create separations so

888
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 5: quick off the line. So those third and three, third

889
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 5: and fours are going to be a lot more you know,

890
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 5: manageable with Zeke not in the backfield, or if you

891
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 5: don't want to run Tony Pollard in those situations, you've

892
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 5: got Brandon Cooks that can come out and do those things.

893
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 5: So I'm just gonna say past pass catching is I

894
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,959
Speaker 5: think you know everybody steps up and sees an extra

895
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 5: extra step.

896
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 6: One thing on the Cooks on the deep ball where

897
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 6: he drew the pass interference. Watching that over on the

898
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 6: L twenty two, another one of those one I tell

899
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 6: you about, Like you know how it just sucks that

900
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 6: on the TV copy you can't see out all of that.

901
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,919
Speaker 6: But where we are with the press box, I didn't

902
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 6: notice it either when it happened, But on the L

903
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,919
Speaker 6: twenty two, it's just amazing how much attention Ceedee Lamb draws. Yeah,

904
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 6: I mean the fact that you would have he would

905
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 6: come across and he would have the corner that's on him.

906
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 6: Both safeties got their eyes on him. I think it

907
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 6: was a third and twelve and you're putting a six

908
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 6: round rookie corner. I'm Brandon Cook singled up on the

909
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 6: outside like that. Man, that's just there's just rough. It's

910
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 6: hard to believe that that's what they wanted in that situation.

911
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 6: That is the Giants one.

912
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,359
Speaker 5: Since you brought up that play, there was a pass

913
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 5: protection kind of wrinkle on that play that is going

914
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 5: to set up that exact play being able to work

915
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 5: out for Jake Ferguson down the line. I'm talking like

916
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 5: a fifteen twenty yard game for Jake Ferguson. He just

917
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 5: needs a little bit more time in the pocket. But

918
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 5: if you go back and you watch that play, Tyler

919
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 5: Battish from the snap, he covers his guy boom and

920
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 5: then he peels off immediately and he goes and picks

921
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 5: up Jake Ferguson's guy off the edge, and Jake kind

922
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 5: of chips his guy off the edge and comes out

923
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 5: and he's wide open in the flat. But Dak's already like, yeah,

924
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 5: getting it cooked up to Brandon, but he has a

925
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 5: little bit Yeah you like that. But if he has

926
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 5: a little bit more time in the pocket there he's

927
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 5: checking down to Ferguson, that's a fifteen twenty yard game.

928
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 2: Yeah.

929
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 5: I thought that was fun that entire play. There's a

930
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 5: lot of fun things going on there.

931
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 2: The a couple of the text messages along the line

932
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 2: five seven five says, I hope to see improvement in

933
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 2: the run defense over what we saw in the first drive.

934
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 2: I think it continuously got better as the game went along,

935
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 2: but also they went away from the rocket.

936
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,399
Speaker 6: I got one, I got one take on this. Yeah,

937
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 6: So it's not you know, nineteen seventy five where you're

938
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 6: working on this stuff in practice. So just think of

939
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 6: that run defense not playing the preseason. What's the last

940
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 6: time a lot of those guys made tackles? Like mad tackles.

941
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 6: I'm not talking about little drills on the side tackling dummies.

942
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 6: I'm talking actually football tackles. When's last time before that game?

943
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 2: Uh San Francisco? Yeah, yeah, January sixteenth or whatever that

944
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 2: was twenty second.

945
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 6: There's just little things that happen in games where I'm

946
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 6: always just like, when's the last time that they even

947
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 6: worked on that? There were just there were certain plays

948
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 6: where I remember when Cooper Rush stepped in as the

949
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 6: starting quarterback and just just getting rocked and like hanging

950
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 6: on the ball, and like I remember asking them after

951
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 6: the game, like, how would you even practice that? Because

952
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 6: you're not even getting no one snaps, no one's hitting you.

953
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 6: You know, like it just it has to happen, you know.

954
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 6: I think of the Aaron Rodgers play when Jeff Heath

955
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 6: just smokes him from behind in that playoff game in

956
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 6: twenty sixteen. Should have knocked the ball loose and somehow

957
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 6: he hangs on to it. It's like there's no practicing that.

958
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 6: And so with the defense, where are they working on that?

959
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 6: The thudding up that they're doing in training camp. I

960
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 6: mean that helps, but for it to just all of

961
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 6: a sudden boom week one, going against a team and

962
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 6: you're just gonna be flawless right from the first snap

963
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 6: when you haven't really been tackling anybody to the ground

964
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 6: and playing together as a run defense. In the San

965
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 6: Francisco game, I mean, I think that they deserve a

966
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 6: little bit of a pass for the way that game started.

967
00:41:55,440 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you do you think about this one's this

968
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 2: is from the eight one to three. It says Dak Prescott.

969
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 2: Do you think Dak needs to see an uptick? I

970
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 2: mean the stat line wasn't pretty, but there were multiple opportunities,

971
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 2: and we've talked about it already. There were four drops

972
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 2: in the game, and if those four drops are converted

973
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 2: into actual catches, it's what is that seventeen of twenty

974
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 2: four passing for two hundred plus yards and at least

975
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 2: one touchdown the Peyton Henders shot, I mean, it's a

976
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 2: different stat line. How did you as a quarterback. When

977
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 2: you looked at Dak's play in Week one, how did

978
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 2: you feel like it looked?

979
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 7: He looked fine for the most part. I mean, there

980
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,280
Speaker 7: wasn't too much to dissect. There was a couple throws

981
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 7: in there that I know he would have liked to

982
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 7: had better location of. But for the most part, he

983
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 7: threw some dog on good bass I did. He threw

984
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 7: some really good balls. The guys just gotta catch it.

985
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 7: I mean, conditions were conditions. You know, guys had wrong

986
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 7: equipment on all that jazz end of the day. You know,

987
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 7: you gotta find a way to make those plays. But

988
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 7: they're running back this week.

989
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 5: I believe it was the first touchdown drive, and I

990
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 5: thought of you when it happened because we talked about

991
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 5: ball location so much.

992
00:42:58,480 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 4: Daring Truss, wasn't it.

993
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 5: It was the It was a gallop slant and he

994
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 5: would have had a twenty yard game, but he put

995
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 5: it on his back shoulder. He kind of had to

996
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 5: fall into it. It was still a first down like

997
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 5: it was. It was a completion four first down, but

998
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 5: that we've talked about that a lot. Being able to

999
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 5: put it where he can take it and go that

1000
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,399
Speaker 5: it was not executed then, but then he came back

1001
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 5: for three or four plays later on that CD just

1002
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 5: threaded the needle and got it right to CD where

1003
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 5: he needed it. That was the best stow we had

1004
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 5: all night.

1005
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was interesting. Some of the better throws that

1006
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,320
Speaker 2: Dak had ended up being in completions. Some of the

1007
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 2: best throws are the worst throws that he had all

1008
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 2: night ended up being completion It was it was kind

1009
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 2: of backwards that Peyton Hendershot throw was about as good

1010
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 2: as he could kid. I mean, he put it on

1011
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 2: his helmet in the middle of three defenders on the

1012
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 2: goal line, put it up there, and Hindershot saw it

1013
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 2: the whole way elevated, was there to make the play

1014
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 2: and then just couldn't hold on And that one, that

1015
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 2: one was rough. That was a phenomenal throw. But I

1016
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 2: thought one thing that he did say, or that one

1017
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 2: of these text messes said, Bob or excuse me four.

1018
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 2: It's from the four to three four He said, Dak

1019
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 2: got the ball out quicker, and that was significant. I

1020
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 2: mean you could see that from the opening drive he

1021
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 2: was able to get it going and get it out quicker.

1022
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 5: That's the West Coast offense The offense is gonna be

1023
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 5: all season, so get used to that.

1024
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 4: I liked it, YEP, I liked it.

1025
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,399
Speaker 2: We'll preview the offense tomorrow because that's probably the more

1026
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 2: intriguing matchup now that Aaron Rodgers is no longer in

1027
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 2: the fold. It's that Cowboys offense against a very very

1028
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,879
Speaker 2: good Jets defense. And we'll hit the film tonight. We'll

1029
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 2: continue to get it ready for it in the morning,
