Speaker 1: we gotta have to look into that. Yeah, I talk
Speaker 1: about I was a game, but I was a kid.
Speaker 1: I was a kid. I ain't. Man, we need to
Speaker 1: redo the show to say that I feel on the
Speaker 1: on the mental state. I'm bookmark this talk about I
Speaker 1: pull up to the to the house. They say in
Speaker 1: the crib that sounds like class. Actually lowsuit, check on
Speaker 1: your check on your friends minute to one that you people,
Speaker 1: This is check on your people. Toothy, thank you for
Speaker 1: telling us. That's the reason why I do the mental
Speaker 1: check in. Definitely. They always showing signs, so make sure
Speaker 1: you keep up with the signs. But man, look last night,
Speaker 1: if y'all were watching football last night, we were all
Speaker 1: were looking at it football. Yes, we were all looking
Speaker 1: forward to that game last night. Uh the Georgia Bulldogs
Speaker 1: Versity horn frosts from TCU and man, what excitement? Who'd
Speaker 1: you picked? I picked Georgia. I think I picked Georgia too. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: you use some about TCU, I said, n cc No,
Speaker 1: come on, I told you he campaign manager. He went there.
Speaker 1: But with my heart, I said, I with my heart?
Speaker 1: Did I want to know what I'm saying? Used with
Speaker 1: mattress mac La, I told mat I said, matt went
Speaker 1: at full fourth. Oh my god, I yeah, man, that's
Speaker 1: I was giving away free furniture a year. Man, Man,
Speaker 1: how do you come anyway? A lot of furnaces? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was in high school. Matric Mac was the guy
Speaker 1: when he commercials all over the place. Really, I got
Speaker 1: that bread bread? But man, what sixty five to seven? Basketball?
Speaker 1: Sixty five to seven? And it looked it was a
Speaker 1: point in this game where I was like somebody needed
Speaker 1: to come out, like committee need to get together and
Speaker 1: say stop this. Put the running clocks. Stop this. They
Speaker 1: do it in the high school. They do it in
Speaker 1: high school. They do the running clock in high school.
Speaker 1: Because that thing could have gotten ugly. That could have
Speaker 1: gotten really bad if y'all think about it. They played
Speaker 1: for four quarters of that first team all the way.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't even want to say what the
Speaker 1: score could have been. Could have that thing sixty five?
Speaker 1: That was bad? That was that was bad. But let
Speaker 1: me get you guys, just take on what you saw
Speaker 1: last night and and the fact that this is expanding
Speaker 1: to ten more teams. Man, to be honest, I looked
Speaker 1: at that and you could clearly see you know, TCU.
Speaker 1: Whatever the case may be, maybe they put all their
Speaker 1: energy into that Michigan game. Whatever the case may be,
Speaker 1: but it just looked like they didn't belong on that
Speaker 1: same field. Um with Georgia out there, man, I mean
Speaker 1: you could tell from the jump, you know, since have
Speaker 1: been at you know, whatever the case, maybe the guy
Speaker 1: just had it going. I mean, he was out running
Speaker 1: some of TCUs dbs, and I'm like, it's just not fair.
Speaker 1: And then we talked to CB earlier, the wonderful producer
Speaker 1: that he is, and you could tell he could see
Speaker 1: that the offers some lands was just getting pushed back
Speaker 1: into Duggan's face the entire afternoon. Man. And so it
Speaker 1: just to me, it's just a white TCU just didn't
Speaker 1: belong and that the moment was just too big for him. Man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I don't you know, goodness gracious, I watched
Speaker 1: the game and it was confusing to me. While people
Speaker 1: even thought that TCU had a chance. All right, the
Speaker 1: truth of the matter is, Okay, Georgia is more talented.
Speaker 1: They got bigger, faster, stronger guys. The program and the
Speaker 1: conference that they're in has prepared them more than the
Speaker 1: conference that TCU was in, who lost to Kansas State
Speaker 1: not even hanging a banner this year because the last state,
Speaker 1: the big twelve, all right, and lets you know how
Speaker 1: not good Michigan was and Ohio State was. They played
Speaker 1: Georgia a little bit better, but it's just different levels
Speaker 1: of competition and that's no and that's no knock against TCU.
Speaker 1: They had a great season, but you saw it out
Speaker 1: there the same we talked about Winters last last week
Speaker 1: and how how he stood out last week. Georgia had
Speaker 1: that guy looking very average when he was talking. I'll
Speaker 1: talking about multiple times you looked up and I was like, this, dude,
Speaker 1: Winter is gonna make a play in the not It's
Speaker 1: not him. But you see a different caliber of athletes
Speaker 1: that go to a school like Georgia, who is now
Speaker 1: a back to back national champion, and then a school
Speaker 1: like TCU, So they got some catching up to do.
Speaker 1: Do they belong on that field? They belong on the
Speaker 1: same field. It's Notre Dame when it comes to these
Speaker 1: shots fire well when they come to these playoffs. Man,
Speaker 1: when you go out there, they got one more time
Speaker 1: to go out there and put that type of performance
Speaker 1: up and they will be in the same the same
Speaker 1: bucket as Notre Dame, who every time they go out
Speaker 1: there they put up something that you just don't want
Speaker 1: to watch. Yeah, well this was I don't want to
Speaker 1: say bead wedding boyt TCU because he looked like from
Speaker 1: the beginning they were outclass. You know, it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's levels to it, and it's clear that the Georgia
Speaker 1: Bulldogs was on another level. But where I worry is
Speaker 1: with the expansion of more teams. I would just say it, man,
Speaker 1: Alabama would have been two lost. Alabama would have been
Speaker 1: more physical than that. Man, I agree with you would
Speaker 1: have proposed wover threat two lost. Tennessee would have, I believe,
Speaker 1: would have given you more than that. Teams. But if
Speaker 1: you're going to say, let's give and I don't even
Speaker 1: know who the twelfth team is, all right, but let's
Speaker 1: just say a North Carolina a team like that, just
Speaker 1: the ACC or wherever big twelve team, oh whomever, and
Speaker 1: you put them in the same category as a Georgia
Speaker 1: Right now, Man, that's that's right there. Just the speed alone.
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you right now, Ladd mccunkie, he opened
Speaker 1: right now. Wherever he is, he wide open. He didn't open.
Speaker 1: I'm like, just man end he was. He was always
Speaker 1: brock Bowers, he called rock bowers eat. He flexed him
Speaker 1: out lining them up, old monster. Last time I see
Speaker 1: the tight end he was out there. They was all ball.
Speaker 1: I mean they played in TCU and they looked at it.
Speaker 1: They looked at him like, hey man, we're finna guard.
Speaker 1: Were finna eat. I see a video these dudes eat
Speaker 1: buffalo wings on the sideline. That was that little that's
Speaker 1: disrespect before half time over there in a suite. Let
Speaker 1: me get it. Let me get a bull pepper over,
Speaker 1: give me a peach drink wins. But to your point,
Speaker 1: all that's gonna end up being is uh a SEC
Speaker 1: West champion, SEC East champion, and then one of the
Speaker 1: big ten champions are gonna be the final three in
Speaker 1: the final three or four of that every town, every
Speaker 1: every time after you get past the first round, which
Speaker 1: it may be one or two interesting games, because at
Speaker 1: that point you're gonna have some of those teams that
Speaker 1: you name, North Carolina, Utah somewhere playing in those games
Speaker 1: against each other, and it's gonna be like, it's gonna
Speaker 1: look like oh, they're ready, like USC, yeah, they can
Speaker 1: do it. And then if they move on, then you're
Speaker 1: gonna see that the upper echelon of talent, the Georgia's,
Speaker 1: the Tennessee's, the Alabama's, the LSUS Ohio states, those are
Speaker 1: gonna be the same teams that end up in the
Speaker 1: in the championship every single time, no matter how big
Speaker 1: how much you explained the playoffs. Do you say to yourself,
Speaker 1: I mean, because obviously probably the commonality we all the
Speaker 1: college athletes for you guys coming up during the time,
Speaker 1: just like me, when they couldn't they couldn't pay you,
Speaker 1: pay you any money. But now with the NIL deal,
Speaker 1: transfer portal and all of that, people are saying, Okay,
Speaker 1: now the transfer of power through our college football should
Speaker 1: be the great equalizer. Now where George doesn't get to
Speaker 1: hoard all of the talent, Alabama doesn't get the hoard
Speaker 1: all the talent you see some of the classes at
Speaker 1: the University of Texas is getting And so you're asking yourself,
Speaker 1: you know, can they can these other teams make up
Speaker 1: the difference. TCU will never know what it's like to
Speaker 1: be on that level, but they found out last night
Speaker 1: that these are the kinds of things that you have
Speaker 1: to recruit in order to beat h Georgia. Do you
Speaker 1: believe that with the nil and the transfer a portal
Speaker 1: that that maybe that would be a deterrent from SEC
Speaker 1: teams pretty much running the table. Let me, let me
Speaker 1: tell you something else about the SEC. They also have
Speaker 1: the best coaches. The Nick Saban Tree, which is where
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart came from. Is now back to back national chances, right,
Speaker 1: and then the championships the Nick Saban one on the
Speaker 1: west side of that as well, right. And then you
Speaker 1: sprinkle something in and there. Every once in a while
Speaker 1: you get an LSU in there, you get Ohio State
Speaker 1: in there. But for the most part, the coaching is
Speaker 1: different from those upper echelon schools as well as the talent.
Speaker 1: So it's not just it's not you can just go
Speaker 1: buy great, great players and then not put them in
Speaker 1: the right position to be out there and go make
Speaker 1: those plays. You also have to have the coaching and
Speaker 1: these big ten schools, the top two that up there,
Speaker 1: Michigan State, Ohio State, Ohio State more than that, and
Speaker 1: then of course the big two in the SEC would
Speaker 1: be Alabama and uh right now Georgia. Yeah, the coach
Speaker 1: is just different. Yeah, coaching definitely matters. And like you said,
Speaker 1: I mean, you got the best of the best in
Speaker 1: the SEC. The only chance that those kind of outside
Speaker 1: the SEC conferences have is if they can get a quarterback,
Speaker 1: because I mean, we see that's the biggest difference in
Speaker 1: these in these schools that you're going to get powerhouse
Speaker 1: like sen him and he ain't the greatest of all time,
Speaker 1: but everything around him is the greatest of all time.
Speaker 1: The only way to be able to combat that is
Speaker 1: if you got that guy behind the helm that can
Speaker 1: play well. And if you look at Ohio State, they
Speaker 1: had Strout and he him in his connection with his receivers,
Speaker 1: they was getting Georgia everything they could have, all right.
Speaker 1: So I think if you can get these quarterbacks to
Speaker 1: come to these different conferences, then you got a chance.
Speaker 1: But I mean they gotta be something extremely special because
Speaker 1: we see what we're dealing with an SEC. Like you said,
Speaker 1: they're all bigger, faster, or stronger in that division. And
Speaker 1: you talk about defenses. Not only is the top eleven
Speaker 1: you know, good, but the people that are backing them
Speaker 1: up they're getting drafted as well. I mean, I'm sure
Speaker 1: there's some cats from Georgia that's gonna get drafted that
Speaker 1: maybe seen ten snaps all year long. I mean, there's
Speaker 1: just depth on top of depth in the SEC. And
Speaker 1: that's really what puts them beyond these other schools is
Speaker 1: that they just got so much powered onto it that
Speaker 1: you can go through that first layer and be like,
Speaker 1: all right, we may we weather to storm, and here
Speaker 1: comes that second layer that's just as good. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just let me church real quick, because he said
Speaker 1: greatest all time. Greatest all time college football team is
Speaker 1: the LSU team of twenty nineteen, not the Georgia team
Speaker 1: of last night. So I mean, listen, I I you know,
Speaker 1: you put them two teams on the field, and the
Speaker 1: LSU team is beating at Georgia team. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you Like this, I'm i tend to
Speaker 1: agree with you simply because they definitely had the better quarterback.
Speaker 1: In quarterback and receivers. You can watch what they're doing now.
Speaker 1: But that that defense for Georgia had many defense wasn't
Speaker 1: as good as George's. But our offense was better than that.
Speaker 1: That's what it been a good game. But Georgie's offense
Speaker 1: is not not world beat is either, So our deepense
Speaker 1: may have some respect for yourself. Bear Toledo would have
Speaker 1: put up at least twenty one. I can't, I can't
Speaker 1: go with you. I fall out. I told them, yeah,
Speaker 1: we'd have got Yeah, where are you? Sixty five seven?
Speaker 1: I know that church and we seen them before, the
Speaker 1: two walking to the locker room the third quarter. Damn
Speaker 1: you hate to see it. Yeah, my first shout out TCU. Man,
Speaker 1: they made it. That's that's one of those. Every once
Speaker 1: in a while you have those stories, those Cinerella stories,
Speaker 1: and they just didn't end off Cinderella ending for the
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Yeah, Cincinnati. Did they get smacked or do they
Speaker 1: make it? At least a game? I forgot say it happens, bro,
Speaker 1: you have no business. It's like you don't have no
Speaker 1: business out here. Man, you need to go back over
Speaker 1: there and play with the rest of the last one
Speaker 1: was who Oklahoma with Mayfield was the last one when
Speaker 1: it when it was it was close Georgia, so that
Speaker 1: that may have been the last time. But guys, we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about some cowboys here while we have a
Speaker 1: few minutes before we go to break Um. Did you
Speaker 1: get it out of your system yesterday? Did you did
Speaker 1: you feel like you imput your buckets on the negativity?
Speaker 1: I mean, now we have to we have to start
Speaker 1: to you know, draw the circle the wagons, to start
Speaker 1: talking about this, this victory on Monday victory. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: gotta start talking about victory on this playoff week. Are
Speaker 1: you saying, do we feel better about the game. Yes,
Speaker 1: If I'm being completely honest, I don't. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: feel any better than I did on the other day. No, no,
Speaker 1: no limit. Let me not say that. Not better about
Speaker 1: the game, better about the fact that the season is
Speaker 1: over and that you have a new season in the playoff. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: if you if you look at it that way, that's
Speaker 1: the only way you can't look at the gotta you know,
Speaker 1: it's a fresh seat. Everybody got a chance. Everybody got
Speaker 1: to chance. The only way you get the only way
Speaker 1: you get to the super Bowl is in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: So I mean you can't get this step right. It's
Speaker 1: crazy that you that's how you went from TCU, where
Speaker 1: everybody got a chance, they made the playoff. I'm just
Speaker 1: now you're talking about oh you count. Yeah, we gotta
Speaker 1: say I'm happy. I'm happy. I'm happy that the season
Speaker 1: is over with and hopefully the pages turned and they
Speaker 1: forgot about everything that happened in the regular season and
Speaker 1: we become a new team. That is the hope. That
Speaker 1: is the hope that we somehow become the team that
Speaker 1: was running the ball, playing good defense and protecting the ball.
Speaker 1: That is the hope. And today you have a practice,
Speaker 1: no off today, Tomorrow they come back for a practice,
Speaker 1: and there's a lot to be worked on and a
Speaker 1: lot to talk about and sit down and circle and
Speaker 1: underline and say, look, we need to fix this. Possibly
Speaker 1: the left side of your defense at the cornerback position. Yeah,
Speaker 1: tell us how you really feel bar under attack man
Speaker 1: and you're not going against you know, a guy that
Speaker 1: you know, maybe he's in his you know, eighth year
Speaker 1: or sixth year, that's just kind of rounded into his form.
Speaker 1: You might be able to trick him here and there.
Speaker 1: You're going to get some man that's been in the
Speaker 1: league or twenty twenty some years now. I've seen every
Speaker 1: defenser is out there. It's hard to disguise your defense
Speaker 1: and trying to talk him into something. The only way
Speaker 1: you get to this man's skin, and the only way
Speaker 1: you kind of get this guy down into the dumps
Speaker 1: or take advantage of him is if you can get
Speaker 1: pressure on. If you can get pressure on that man,
Speaker 1: particularly up the middle, then you got a chance. Because
Speaker 1: we all know he's not the most athletic guy, all right,
Speaker 1: He's a quarterback that loves to be in that pocket,
Speaker 1: loves to be in his spot. Stay in his spot
Speaker 1: and try to dissect your defense that way. If this
Speaker 1: was week six, week fall, week five, when this defensive
Speaker 1: line was humming getting six sacks of game type deal,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, I'm feeling pretty good. But when we've
Speaker 1: seen these past couple of weeks, besides last week when
Speaker 1: they were going again Sam Hound got three sacks, they
Speaker 1: haven't been doing much as far as pressure in the quarterback.
Speaker 1: And if you give Tom Brady time back there, it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter who you got on that defensive side of
Speaker 1: the football, he's gonna be able to dissect you because
Speaker 1: what he does well is he takes what the defense
Speaker 1: gives you. If you're backing off and playing his zone,
Speaker 1: all I'm gonna thotis old check down to Leonard Fournette. Alright,
Speaker 1: I'm ana Thotis hit to the tight end real quick.
Speaker 1: He may take a shot here and there, but he's
Speaker 1: gonna take what the defense gives you. He's gonna he's
Speaker 1: gonna try to kill you with a thousand cuts. We
Speaker 1: all understand that about Tom Brady. So unless they can
Speaker 1: get pressure, man, it's gonna be a long afternoon. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I'm pigging back up what you said on one
Speaker 1: of those points of like, yeah, if you don't disrupt
Speaker 1: the timing of Tom Brady and his receivers at some point, right,
Speaker 1: if you just want to play off a play zone
Speaker 1: the whole time, but you're not jamming guys and throwing
Speaker 1: them off they paths when they're running up to see
Speaker 1: him or trying to get across the field. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: when he gets the ball out in two seconds and
Speaker 1: he nickel adopts you right, hit those six yard hits here,
Speaker 1: throw it to the flat here, throw it, throw it
Speaker 1: to the flintifourd now for seven yards before you know,
Speaker 1: there's a twelve play drive for eight minutes and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: Like you have to find a way one to get
Speaker 1: some pressure on them and throw the timing off on
Speaker 1: these routes right through the timing off on it, and
Speaker 1: then you got a shot. And I think that's the
Speaker 1: only chance we have a winning this game is if
Speaker 1: our defense comes out and wins this game for and
Speaker 1: and so, what I'm what I'm really alluding to, guys,
Speaker 1: is the fact that the big playability of the Washington
Speaker 1: Commanders had to have troubled you, especially seeing the way
Speaker 1: that Sam Howe was fitting the ball into Scared Terry
Speaker 1: and and dots Um. One player McKenzie Alexander was bought
Speaker 1: in uh last month, I believe now on the practice
Speaker 1: squad and has been rumored to be on the active
Speaker 1: roster better one game season right now. And so and so,
Speaker 1: going off of what you're saying, you're saying, Look, you
Speaker 1: solve all of that by getting your pass rush back. Okay,
Speaker 1: you solve all of that by getting Tom Brady off
Speaker 1: of his spots and get making him uncomfortable. That's still
Speaker 1: relying on your front. Okay, talk about me selling hoping him. No,
Speaker 1: but that's that's essentially what you have to do to
Speaker 1: win this game. But at some point your secondary is
Speaker 1: gonna have to hold up on the left side. Right now,
Speaker 1: a cross from Trey Von Diggs. We have been suffering
Speaker 1: and whether it be with d N Bland, whether it
Speaker 1: be with National Right, it doesn't matter who we put
Speaker 1: over there that has been the weak. This link is
Speaker 1: that something this week is you're working in practice? How
Speaker 1: do you get that fixed on a moment's notice, going
Speaker 1: in versus Tall? They gotta send help, all right, They
Speaker 1: got to send help, Like I understand, like Diggs on
Speaker 1: the side that he's on, man, I think dig is
Speaker 1: the top three corner in this league. You know, last
Speaker 1: year he got all those interceptions, which was great, but
Speaker 1: his technique was kind of you know, there was left
Speaker 1: to be had out there was some left to be had.
Speaker 1: But this year I feel like he's turned the corner,
Speaker 1: has become a complete corner as far as being able
Speaker 1: to take the football away, being able to shut down receivers.
Speaker 1: We've seen what he was able to do against one
Speaker 1: of the best in Justin Jefferson. You travel him, I'm
Speaker 1: traveling him. I'm traveling him up with Evans. I'm sitting
Speaker 1: there staying a man. Every every day, I'm putting him
Speaker 1: on out and saying, look, Diggs, you gotta have this matchup.
Speaker 1: You gotta be able to put your hands on this man.
Speaker 1: And I'm not staying shout him out completely because that's
Speaker 1: a hard thing they're doing this league. But you gotta
Speaker 1: limit him over there. And I'm putting all my other assets,
Speaker 1: and I'm helping that young guy out on the other side,
Speaker 1: I'm helping Bland out and I'm helping whoever they decide
Speaker 1: to put out there, whether it's Mulling right, Alexander, whoever
Speaker 1: the case may be, I'm helping him out there. And
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Digs, you gotta handle this on your own
Speaker 1: over there, because we know Tom Brad he watches film. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's looking at that and saying, man, they were wearing that.
Speaker 1: Whoever was out there, don't matter. They were wearing those
Speaker 1: guys out over there. And you got not only do
Speaker 1: you have god Win the slot. So Bland's gonna have
Speaker 1: his hands full, but you gotta Julio Jones coming off
Speaker 1: of a couple of weeks of rest all right now.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's the old Julio he still, but
Speaker 1: he can still give you some gas from that outside
Speaker 1: exactly on Anthony Brown. So to me, you're gonna have
Speaker 1: you you know, you're gonna have your feel over there
Speaker 1: and ride receivers. You gotta put some expenses over there.
Speaker 1: You gotta have a safety lean over the top to
Speaker 1: help against the deep ball. Maybe a linebacker buzzing underneath.
Speaker 1: But we gotta make sure we keep everything in front
Speaker 1: of you, because that's the last thing you want to
Speaker 1: do is give Tom Brady a cheap one over the
Speaker 1: top and he's already sitting there with a seven old spot.
Speaker 1: That's just not what you want to do. Do you
Speaker 1: agree with that game playing about traveling digs uh? Or
Speaker 1: do you say leave him where he is? I agree
Speaker 1: with it, but I think you got to mix it
Speaker 1: up from time to time, just because with motions and shifts,
Speaker 1: they I think if you just just say, hey, man,
Speaker 1: we're gonna travel this guy every time, there are all
Speaker 1: ways that they can find a way to then isolate
Speaker 1: him throughout motion or line up in twins and bring
Speaker 1: them back or whatever, and then still get them one
Speaker 1: on one with whoever whoever they want. So I think
Speaker 1: you gotta mix it up and say eight percent of
Speaker 1: the time you're gonna you're gonna travel, but I'll tell
Speaker 1: you when you're traveling, just to make sure that they
Speaker 1: don't know exactly where he's gonna be it. But that's
Speaker 1: that's the worst part about this game is that you
Speaker 1: have to do all that for one position. You still
Speaker 1: got to stop the run. You still gotta worry about
Speaker 1: the slot because guy one is no slouching. There's actually
Speaker 1: probably one of the best slot receivers in the league.
Speaker 1: You still got to do all that, and you gotta
Speaker 1: focus all this attention. I'm trying to figure out how
Speaker 1: you stop Mike Evans. Oh and Julio Jones, who has
Speaker 1: been resting for the last few weeks. Oh, well, that's
Speaker 1: a lot to that's a lot to take in and uh,
Speaker 1: but we're gonna take a first break and when we
Speaker 1: come back, we're gonna talk about a guy that probably
Speaker 1: lives rent free in one of our coaches heads. Stay

Speaker 1: I took a break, I said, there's a there's a
Speaker 1: player that lives rent free in this coach's head, and
Speaker 1: I do believe it's Tom Brady to dan Quinn. There's
Speaker 1: no way, There's no way dan Quinn does not hate. No,
Speaker 1: there's no possible way. I understand. Like you interview these coaches,
Speaker 1: they give you all this coaching speech and all these
Speaker 1: metaphors and all this happy stuff. Whatever. If you was
Speaker 1: one of this boy, sitting down with him in a
Speaker 1: cigar bar and you asked him this question about Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: he says that blue blue, blue blue. Because for six
Speaker 1: quarters dan Quinn has beaten this man, one man has
Speaker 1: taken two Super Bowl rings from him. That's a lot
Speaker 1: of achievements too. You got that super Bowl. You know
Speaker 1: what he's parties to the head coach Atlanta right now.
Speaker 1: I mean, you get you gotta feel some type of
Speaker 1: way you have to go. You have to and when
Speaker 1: you look at the numbers, when everything that you look
Speaker 1: at him again, you have to be living under a
Speaker 1: rock to not know that the Cowboys lost on Sunday
Speaker 1: and everybody in their mom is telling you about why
Speaker 1: the Cowboys can't win on Monday because they never beat
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. You've never beat Tom Brady ever. This has
Speaker 1: never happened. You've never seen it, okay in your mind mentally,
Speaker 1: even with all of those that got it. And let's
Speaker 1: not even talk about the last time that the Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys has won a road playoff game. Man, you guys
Speaker 1: were probably still in pre k. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: stats against it. I don't know. I'm just I'm laying
Speaker 1: it all out there, keeping in one hundred, keeping in
Speaker 1: one hundred. There's a lot of getting there's a lot
Speaker 1: against you in this game. If you look at it,
Speaker 1: you have a quarterback that has beat your defensive coordinator
Speaker 1: down several times. You have a quarterback that you have
Speaker 1: never beaten. So Danny mccraig ray of Sunshine, Still Meal Unicorn,
Speaker 1: tell me how I sold allows sold out, Come on us,
Speaker 1: put a bone on the horse's head, dude, something out.
Speaker 1: If anything, I would have to, I'm gonna take the
Speaker 1: same route that I use when everybody kept coming back
Speaker 1: talking about I see that pattern that the Cowboys on
Speaker 1: they lose one win to lose one win, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: that is irrelevant. All right, this is irrelevant. All the
Speaker 1: losses that the Cowboys have to Tom Brady in the
Speaker 1: past are irrelevant when they play on Monday. This is
Speaker 1: probably the worst off that the Cowboys have called Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: This is probably the worst off like the team wise,
Speaker 1: you're looking at how the season went high ended for him.
Speaker 1: They snuck into the playoffs. This is probably your best
Speaker 1: shot and say you know what, hey, yeah, we kick
Speaker 1: them right now, kick them. The worst part about it
Speaker 1: is we down to This is the battle of two
Speaker 1: teams who are looking for anything to find that little
Speaker 1: motivation to kickstart them into a deep running to the playoffs.
Speaker 1: And great for us that we've never beat Tom Brady
Speaker 1: and it is Tom Brady. So if you somehow figure
Speaker 1: out a way to pull off this win. I think
Speaker 1: the confidence of this team goes through the roof. But
Speaker 1: you gotta figure out a way to beat them, and
Speaker 1: dan Quinn just ain't being able to do it in
Speaker 1: those big time moments. So hopefully third times a charm
Speaker 1: to two super Bowls. No, this is the next biggest
Speaker 1: moment the regular season. Yeah, yeah, whatever, this is your
Speaker 1: next biggest moment. Hopefully the third time. It's a charmer,
Speaker 1: y'all know I feel about dan Quinn, So I think
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna just hold it until because they
Speaker 1: love corners. I need to figure out late Vanderver's playing. Yeah, like,
Speaker 1: I'll hold off on it, but I want dan Quinn
Speaker 1: to have as many tools in the box as he
Speaker 1: as he possibly can. And right now we're just a
Speaker 1: little light. So I'm gonna waiting until the injury reporting
Speaker 1: all this stuff start to come out before. It makes
Speaker 1: me nervous, man, it makes me nervous. So wrong because
Speaker 1: if you look at it, I mean, I'd rather be
Speaker 1: going against a team in Tampa that maybe had one,
Speaker 1: you know, the last couple of games. So they come
Speaker 1: in here, we're overlooking the Cowboys, ain't and you know,
Speaker 1: now they they're in the same predicament kount of that
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys are in. You know, they struggle throughout
Speaker 1: the season up and down. Man. But you know the
Speaker 1: only thing that the Cowboys can really grasp onto in
Speaker 1: all reality if you look at it, is you know,
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay struggles immensely and running the football, and that's
Speaker 1: something that the Dallas Cowboys struggling and stopping it. But
Speaker 1: letting from Nett forget the guy named White, that that's
Speaker 1: just kind of they go back and forth in the backfield.
Speaker 1: They struggle. They struggle really bad to run the ball,
Speaker 1: and hopefully we get some of that struggles on Monday.
Speaker 1: I don't like that I'm hearing at the center Jensen
Speaker 1: might be coming back from Tampa Bay because that was
Speaker 1: that's like, that was their you know, Travis Fresick, that
Speaker 1: was the guy that kind of had their whole offensive
Speaker 1: line going in the right direction. So hurt all year,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Holy water, he lives. He That's
Speaker 1: that's that that's gonna be a hurt piece right there
Speaker 1: if he's able to go out there. But the only
Speaker 1: thing maybe maybe the Cowboys that mean he Haskins rights
Speaker 1: maybe he can come back in there, because we had
Speaker 1: we played again better against the run when he was involved,
Speaker 1: and then Van Dur, I mean Vandurs was happening one
Speaker 1: of his better seasons. So hopefully he can come back
Speaker 1: in there and stop it. But right now, heck, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna lie a team and I'm grasping for straws
Speaker 1: right now. I'm just man because he remember how many
Speaker 1: rushing yards they put up on us a week one
Speaker 1: same team, play the same team and you have a
Speaker 1: b Yeah it's the same guys, but you had a
Speaker 1: full secondary. Yeah you had all you guys good and
Speaker 1: you go into it and then you that's that's like
Speaker 1: one of those sounds where like you play a team
Speaker 1: and then they beat you, and you hope that they
Speaker 1: go on to have a really good season, so then
Speaker 1: that can validate, like you know what, everybody lost to him,
Speaker 1: But it didn't happen that way. We're not there and
Speaker 1: lost like you know, but we ended up winning twelve games,
Speaker 1: and they somehow struggled it in scratched and claude and
Speaker 1: found their way into the playoffs. And now now we're
Speaker 1: about to play them again, and it's like, all right,
Speaker 1: at first we thought this was a really good team,
Speaker 1: and now you realize that it's not, and you're like, man,
Speaker 1: we gotta go beat this team that's really not that good.
Speaker 1: But we should beat them in their place because we
Speaker 1: should be better than them based off how the seasons went.
Speaker 1: But right now, I don't think anybody in Cowboys Nations
Speaker 1: are just like super confident that that's gonna happen one
Speaker 1: because you love to him. A week one, they rushed
Speaker 1: the ball on you and not a good running team,
Speaker 1: So what's to say that that won't happen again. We
Speaker 1: got some stuff to figure out this week. That's why
Speaker 1: I'm glad we don't play until Monday, man, So we
Speaker 1: got some extra time. We got some guys that can
Speaker 1: heal up with an extra lab, all right. We got
Speaker 1: some guys on the old line who can get a
Speaker 1: little bit more, a little bit more unity in there.
Speaker 1: So because you know, I'm sure we're talking about what
Speaker 1: McCarthy said about Tyres Smith a little later. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's a learning process. Big Nate senses all the time.
Speaker 1: He says, hey, man, moved from left to right. That's
Speaker 1: not as easy as just hey, I'm going for a
Speaker 1: strong safety the freest, all right. No, it is a
Speaker 1: totally entirely different process of working your right side of
Speaker 1: your body and your left side of your body. Your
Speaker 1: strong dominant hand may be your right if you move
Speaker 1: over to the left, now it has to be a
Speaker 1: whole different thing in the same and vice versus from
Speaker 1: left to right. So Tyre Smith is working trying to
Speaker 1: figure it out. Hopefully this is the week where it
Speaker 1: gets figured out because we meet them. Which side of
Speaker 1: the ball? Guys, looking at this matchup with Tampa, do
Speaker 1: you come in with the most confidence in? And I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that you have a whole lot of confidence
Speaker 1: in either side, all right, But I'm just saying, if
Speaker 1: there's one side of the ball that you can say
Speaker 1: I have the most confidence in this side of the ball,
Speaker 1: I gotta go. Even with the injuries, I gotta say
Speaker 1: I'm still leaning on the defensive side of the football
Speaker 1: because you still have that D line, you still got
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons, you still got Tank and all those guys
Speaker 1: up there that can still get after the quarterback. I believe.
Speaker 1: So I believe. I'm saying the defensive side of the
Speaker 1: football still is the strength of this team, even though
Speaker 1: they struggled a little bit here and there. But the
Speaker 1: most important side, I believe there's gotta be that offensive
Speaker 1: sign and gotta be because you cannot turn the football over.
Speaker 1: If you turn the football over and give Brady even
Speaker 1: more opportunities to go out there and throw the dagger
Speaker 1: on you, they eat more likely he's gonna take advantage. Right.
Speaker 1: So the strength is defense in my opinion, But the
Speaker 1: most important side is definitely that offense and taking care
Speaker 1: of the football. He's gonna steal both sides. He just
Speaker 1: did that. I'm telling him to say, I'm going to church.
Speaker 1: I'm going on the offense. Yeah, I think the offense
Speaker 1: has to do something spectap, But are you most confident.
Speaker 1: I'm most confident that our offense can move the ball
Speaker 1: against their defense. And the reason why is because I
Speaker 1: have no idea if Lady Vandersch's playing, I have no
Speaker 1: idea what we're gonna be able to stop the run
Speaker 1: or if we can hold up on that left corner spot.
Speaker 1: Those are huge, huge question marks for you to go
Speaker 1: into a game playing against the Mike Evans, William Jones
Speaker 1: and Goblin. That is, it's just that they're huge question marks.
Speaker 1: So I need to see one who's gonna be healthy.
Speaker 1: And two I know that like I'm I'm like you
Speaker 1: on this one, Like I know Dad can play better.
Speaker 1: I know. So I'm gonna keep saying, hey man, it's
Speaker 1: gonna click, It's gonna click, and when it does, If
Speaker 1: it does, then you have an entirely different team. Your
Speaker 1: team is entirely different. When he is clicking on all cylinders,
Speaker 1: he's hitting Cnee Lamb, he's hitting Dalton Shows, Tony Poler
Speaker 1: and zekea rolling. Because Dak is on his stuff, you're
Speaker 1: a totally different team. So I believe that he still
Speaker 1: has it in him. He has to got forty million
Speaker 1: dollars a year. He got it in him somewhere. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he better find it, but I think he can. So
Speaker 1: I think that is to me our ability. If he
Speaker 1: shows up to play how he should. Receivers are catching
Speaker 1: the ball. We got the addition to t Whitelson. If
Speaker 1: all those guys show up, I think then they will
Speaker 1: be the strength of the team this week. No, the
Speaker 1: key for me is what you said, and that statement
Speaker 1: was Zeke and Tony poll getting rolling. This whole offense,
Speaker 1: the balance that they've had and you think about the
Speaker 1: way that they survived those five games after Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: got hurt in the first game was through the running game.
Speaker 1: That's something you've been preaching from the beginning, Kellen, run
Speaker 1: the damn ball. And so you're back to that point.
Speaker 1: And now a lot of people in this fan base
Speaker 1: that feel like, I don't want to see you running
Speaker 1: on first down the more and blah blah blah whatever.
Speaker 1: But even in this situation versus Tom Brady, I think
Speaker 1: you say the best way to defeat defeat Tom Brady
Speaker 1: is keep him sitting down on the other side, and
Speaker 1: that that's gonna take amount of skill in itself by film, position,
Speaker 1: ball control, running the ball is basically what's gonna have
Speaker 1: to happen. And where I feel like that Prescott has
Speaker 1: been at his best is when play play action is
Speaker 1: actually working, when the team isn't fulled by because I
Speaker 1: think you or you said that this defensive coordinator is
Speaker 1: going to bring everybody to the line of scrimmage and say, yeah,
Speaker 1: beat me. This is the only way, okay. And if
Speaker 1: you're able to plow through that with your running game
Speaker 1: and having its success, then that sets you up for
Speaker 1: everything else that you want to look for over the
Speaker 1: top soul. I'm gonna keep that one. I'm gonna putting
Speaker 1: my feathers fence gonna be a feather in my hat.
Speaker 1: You ain't gonna be able to use that when it
Speaker 1: give me gout morena, Thank you. We're gonna take our
Speaker 1: last break on the players louge, and we'll be back
Speaker 1: with more talking about this defense. Nobody protects you from

Speaker 1: gotta feel good about this, man. Yeah, now, I have
Speaker 1: to have something. You know, the game, so I gotta
Speaker 1: have something. Danny McCrae, I come in here every day
Speaker 1: with you have to be preyed up. I had to
Speaker 1: get myself together. I'd be like, you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna walk up out of here feeling good about my
Speaker 1: cal victory. I'm gonna see a victory he gonna get.
Speaker 1: Won't do it? Wheel That's what I'm telling That's how
Speaker 1: I feel um. But I tell you what another thing
Speaker 1: that really has been worried me. And this is a
Speaker 1: guy I watch every play. I'm single dan on him.
Speaker 1: I'm circle. I wanna make sure I see where number
Speaker 1: eleven is. Some something else, something going on, something going on.
Speaker 1: The bazooka has been misfiring, and on the bazooka ain't good.
Speaker 1: On the bazooka ain't good. And you know, I think
Speaker 1: it has. I don't want to call it a souphomore slump,
Speaker 1: O hit the wall or any of that. I think
Speaker 1: I misread personally what kind of physical undertaking it was
Speaker 1: going to be for him to play defensive in. It
Speaker 1: has taken his toll on him. And if you want
Speaker 1: a fresh player, you need him going into the playoffs.
Speaker 1: And I really didn't believe that he should have been
Speaker 1: playing last Sunday, but I can tell that he's banged
Speaker 1: up and it's hard for him to take that beating.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if I'm if I'm reading the
Speaker 1: room the wrong way. Off y'all have seen the same thing.
Speaker 1: But to me, Mica doesn't look like himself, a shell
Speaker 1: of himself, and it may be because of the position
Speaker 1: that he's playing. I ask you, guys, going into this
Speaker 1: Tampa game, are you looking for him to play more linebacker?
Speaker 1: And have you noticed any deficiencies with Micah in a
Speaker 1: linebacker in the running game? Also, well, I'll say this
Speaker 1: look as great of a player as my kid, because
Speaker 1: he's definitely off to an unbelievable start. You know, he's
Speaker 1: not the biggest of defensive ends or people that are
Speaker 1: rushing in the pastor so when you're going against those
Speaker 1: three hundred pounders and you know, the Tyrn Smiths of
Speaker 1: the world, each and every game and each and every play,
Speaker 1: it'll wear on you. It'll wear on you a little bit.
Speaker 1: So it's not, you know, unexpected to see him kind
Speaker 1: of slow down just a little bit. But when you
Speaker 1: talk about the game planning, this scheme going to this game,
Speaker 1: I can see Quinn using him more as a chess piece,
Speaker 1: kind of like he was in his rookie year, where
Speaker 1: we'll have him coming off the edge. You need that
Speaker 1: pressure up the gut to kind of fluster Tom Brady
Speaker 1: him in here. Let's put him in a gap, let
Speaker 1: him run over the center a little bit. I can
Speaker 1: see them putting him on the weakest matchup of their
Speaker 1: offensive line, wherever's the weakest link of that offensive line.
Speaker 1: I can see him moving him around just to get
Speaker 1: him more opportunities to affect the game and get after
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. When you leave him on one side, as
Speaker 1: great as he is, I mean, you're gonna have people
Speaker 1: chipping him. You're gonna have running backs chipping him, tight
Speaker 1: ends chipping them, They're gonna have plays going in the
Speaker 1: opposite direction, and he kind of nullifies his his his
Speaker 1: ability out there. So if you use him as a
Speaker 1: chess piece, putting them all over the place, I can
Speaker 1: see him affecting the game a lot more that way
Speaker 1: than we've seen him by just lining him up at
Speaker 1: that left end or all that right in. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: my man, Michael tied. Let me tell you, so, was
Speaker 1: it four out of the last six of these quarterbacks
Speaker 1: that we played him been mobile quarterbacks? All right? Chase?
Speaker 1: So yeah, how many times have you seen Mica chasing
Speaker 1: a guy after after you know, saying Russ or rustling
Speaker 1: the quarterback? And sometimes you see him on the sideline,
Speaker 1: hands on the hip with the kickstand. That's what the
Speaker 1: legs cross. Right, Yeah, we know about but I'm saying,
Speaker 1: but you see it often enough, right, because he's he's
Speaker 1: he's a player who's one going to you give one
Speaker 1: hundred percent every time every time he's out there, and
Speaker 1: most of the time if the quarterback breaks the pocket,
Speaker 1: Mica is the closest guy to him because he got
Speaker 1: the speed to chase the guy down. The dude on
Speaker 1: top of playing defensive end undersize, now he's also running
Speaker 1: further more, spreading more, doing all of that, especially throughout
Speaker 1: the last four weeks of the season. You think about
Speaker 1: that you got was it Davis Mills and them were
Speaker 1: running two quarterback system. Then you had Trevor Lawrence who
Speaker 1: running ability. You just came off a week where Howell
Speaker 1: would scrambled before touchdown to get out. Dobbs were scrambling,
Speaker 1: So you had you have guys who are putting that
Speaker 1: type of pressure on on our te d line as
Speaker 1: a whole. But we're just speaking about Michael Parsons, who
Speaker 1: he might be a little tired, which is for this week.
Speaker 1: It's great because Tom Brady ain't scrambling nowhere all right,
Speaker 1: So you know, once you in that in that rush,
Speaker 1: in that tackle box, tom Brady's most likely going to
Speaker 1: be inside that tackle box and he's gonna be making
Speaker 1: it throws from there, or hopefully for us, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be getting sacked from that tackle box, so it'd be
Speaker 1: easier on Michael Parsons this week. The last time Michael
Speaker 1: Parsons saw Tom Brady, he had a multiple sack game
Speaker 1: and so, which was kind of crazy. I think everybody
Speaker 1: was surprised by that because of how quick Tom Brady
Speaker 1: gets rid of the ball. And that's been the major
Speaker 1: adjustment that I've seen quarterbacks make on our defense has
Speaker 1: been the fact that they get rid of the damn
Speaker 1: ball fast, all right, to to kind of nullify that pressure.
Speaker 1: And I think that's where we're seeing the back half
Speaker 1: take take the most, uh, take the most punishment. But guys,
Speaker 1: that's our time. We did it. New Newes Scrubs will
Speaker 1: be back tomorrow and I'm a't know what. I guess
Speaker 1: we were getting no hats the last time. Do you
Speaker 1: think he'll what's over under? You think he'll bring us
Speaker 1: something back? Here? Gonna walk ahead with his salad tomorrow
Speaker 1: and his Duke's bag. That's Luca's on. Thank you fathering.
Speaker 1: Nothing back that nothing. He's gonna tell us about it. Though,
Speaker 1: Man went over here, Man, I was with this here.
