Speaker 4: All right, boys, all right, let's get to this really

28
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 4: really quick. First, the Mavericks and the Stars are in

29
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 4: their respective conference championship. Congrats to them, Shouts to them,

30
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 4: Dallas teams getting to the conference championships. How's it feel, guys.

31
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's I'm I'm the Stars fan. I'm not necessarily

32
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 7: a Mavericks fan, but I am respecting the look. I'm

33
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 7: respecting the Mavericks run and of the the heat buddy,

34
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 7: exactly of the team's left. I am rooting for the Mavericks.

35
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 7: So I hope they get the job done. But it's

36
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 7: been awesome to see the Stars kind of rattle off

37
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 7: what they've been got going on. They both have really

38
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 7: tough matchups here in the next here in the conference finals, though,

39
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 7: so it's gonna be really fun. I'm excited for it.

40
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 4: How you feeling, Isaiamh.

41
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 5: I think it's dope. Yeah, you know, I don't watch

42
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 5: a lot of basketball. Actually, I don't watch any basketball,

43
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 5: but I did see the ending of their game. Well,

44
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 5: so that's pretty cool. I know everybody's really excited about them.

45
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 5: I know Mark Cuban has been working on that squad

46
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 5: for some years now. Is dope to see Irving and

47
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 5: Luca really kind of finally meshing to see somebody's playing

48
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 5: really come to fruition I think is always pretty awesome,

49
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 5: especially from the sports management side. So kudos to the MAVs.

50
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 5: The Stars are doing Stars things that they've had that

51
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 5: roster for a minute. They've added a couple of young pieces.

52
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 5: You know, I've watched the Stars over the past few

53
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 5: years because of my Seattle cracking that are sitting at.

54
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 7: The crib watch them get cracked.

55
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, they got cracked this year. This year there trash,

56
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 5: but we got rid of our coach, which I think

57
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 5: was a major problem. So congrats to the Stars. And yeah,

58
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 5: the Rangers, you know, did their thing last year. Rangers, Stars,

59
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 5: mav Does that put at least.

60
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 4: My first question, at least to my first question? Does

61
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 4: that put any added emphasis on Cowboys expectations on the

62
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 4: Cowboys for getting to a conference championship this year?

63
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 7: I don't think it's any different. We also can't forget

64
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 7: the Dallas Wings went to the conference championship.

65
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 4: Oh oh them.

66
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't think it's and I don't think it's

67
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 7: any more than it's that it has been, you know,

68
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 7: for the last twenty some odd years. Yeah, sure, there's

69
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 7: probably a little bit more fan anks to whenever they

70
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 7: see the rest of the teams in the city doing

71
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 7: a reaching expectation or exceeding expectations. Someone posted a graphic

72
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 7: that was like ten thousand plus days since the Dallas

73
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 7: Cowboys reached a an NFC championship game, you know, compared

74
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,839
Speaker 7: to everybody else's now is like one day, two days,

75
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 7: and then yeah, one hundred days for the Rangers. I

76
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 7: don't know, man, I one of the dumbest questions, and

77
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 7: forgive me a person on.

78
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 4: X that said this, but h officially X now officially X.

79
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 4: They asked, is it making the Cowboys ear relevant in doubts?

80
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 5: Oh? No, that's silly.

81
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 4: And I said, you're a big dummy, dumb dumb you

82
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 4: said that. I said that harsh words. Dummy, dumb, dumb, dummy,

83
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 4: dumb dumb, big stupid dude. No, I like, what what

84
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 4: are you doing? You know what I mean, Like, what

85
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 4: do you really.

86
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 5: Think trolling that's what they're doing.

87
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 4: Do you actually think that?

88
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 5: No, they don't believe that. In their heart. The Dallas

89
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 5: Cowboys are the largest sports brand in the world sports, sports, sports.

90
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 5: I'm not just talking about football the world. So I mean,

91
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 5: we're blessed to be sitting here talking about that, you know.

92
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 4: That's actual football and then also the other football that

93
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 4: nobody cares actually.

94
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 5: So yeah, so I mean that the Cowboys will always

95
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 5: be the Cowboys. Shout out to all the fellas from

96
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 5: the nineties that really along with Double J for making

97
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 5: this brand what it is. For everybody in the world

98
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 5: being able to acknowledge what the Dallas Cowboys are. I

99
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 5: don't care where you are in the world, they know

100
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 5: that star and that said is a lot not only

101
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 5: about Double J, but it says a lot about those

102
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 5: guys in the nineties that were running on a terror

103
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 5: for a number of years and which is hard to do.

104
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 5: It's hard to do in the NFL, especially especially in

105
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 5: the NFL where there's cap restrictions and all that jazz.

106
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 5: So a lot of kudos to them.

107
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 7: It wasn't then necessarily there wasn't cap restrictions then necessarily.

108
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, but I mean the league there's a

109
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 5: lot more restraints on football teams and there are saved

110
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 5: for like baseball, you know, like there's the Yankees are

111
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 5: are a big brand, but some of it kind of

112
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 5: goes like I don't give it some of it any

113
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 5: credit because it's like you can spend as much money

114
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 5: as you want to get who you want versus in football,

115
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 5: you gotta work really hard from the managerial standpoint, you

116
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 5: really put together your roster year after year, which is

117
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 5: why what New England did was so incredible, right, It

118
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 5: was so incredible because you know that you have to

119
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 5: make things work right with a lot less, especially the

120
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 5: more success that you have.

121
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 4: So, yeah, it doesn't hurt that you have the greatest

122
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 4: quarterback probably of all time.

123
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 5: That doesn't hurt at all. I mean, but even still

124
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 5: the Patriots, when you hear the Patriots name and you

125
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 5: hear the Cowboys name, you want to watch the Cowboys.

126
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 5: Even with all the success that the Patriots had and

127
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 5: all the guys who made those teams successful, whether it

128
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 5: be the Dallas Cowboys or whether it be the New

129
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 5: England Patriots, they're no longer in the building. Yeah, the

130
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 5: coaches are no longer in the building, and yet when

131
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 5: you hear those two brands, you still want to tune

132
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 5: in for the Cowboys. So that says something.

133
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 4: I think that's true, And I think the guy was

134
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 4: trying to make a point where it's like irrelevant in Dallas,

135
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 4: like specifically in Dallas with all these other teams doing well,

136
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 4: and I like, again, I just I think that's a dumb.

137
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 7: Question that shows along the same lines of the certain

138
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 7: faction of the fan base this offseason. That's like, Hey,

139
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 7: we should stop buying tickets, we should stop buying merch,

140
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 7: stop listening to our podcast, go ahead, go ahead to

141
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 7: try and boycott the Cowboys so that they understand that

142
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 7: they need to do something this offseason to get us back.

143
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 7: And it's like, well, but we're only hurting yourself.

144
00:06:58,320 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 5: Dog. Hey, you're a.

145
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 4: Listening to a Dallas Cowboys podcast in May by the way,

146
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 4: just just f yi, it's an off season edition of

147
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 4: Talking Cowboys. So it's like, and if those people would

148
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 4: not be.

149
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 5: Listening right now, if we've been watching, we're gonna watch

150
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 5: YouTube a million times, just make our numbers go up.

151
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 4: I just mean, like, it's it's a it's a question

152
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 4: for sure, all right? Moving on the faith fight finished foundation? Uh,

153
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 4: Dak Prescott's foundation held an event over the weekend or

154
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 4: I guess the last Friday, right, CD was there, and

155
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 4: then of course Dak was asked about his contract. You

156
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 4: know again, Uh, Nick, do you want to share any

157
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 4: updates from that? Yeah? I wasn't there.

158
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, right, So this was this would have been more

159
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 7: so something for John here, but I was able to

160
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 7: attend this event last year, and basically it's it's his

161
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 7: foundation to UH help with breast cancer awareness as well

162
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 7: as suicide awareness. You know, he lost Dak Prescott, lost

163
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 7: his mother to breast cancer, lost his brother to suicide.

164
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 7: So the faith fight finish, it's it's all kind of

165
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 7: comes together for UH Dak Prescott's foundation and to raise

166
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 7: money for it. There's silent auctions.

167
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 4: There's also support for law enforcement in the community, and yeah,

168
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 4: also assistants to families in need. Obviously a very great foundation.

169
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 4: But to add to that, I just thought it was

170
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 4: interesting that, you know, everyone's still talking about his contract. Yeah,

171
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 4: he's putting on this really great event.

172
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 5: Yeah.

173
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 7: Absolutely, And if some people recall to the draft, I

174
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 7: believe it was for the Kaitlin Carson pick in the

175
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 7: fifth round where the International Fan of the Year went

176
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 7: up on stage and said that Dak Prescott saved his life.

177
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 7: He was able to finally meet Dak at that event

178
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 7: last Friday night, which was really cool to see those

179
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 7: two come together, and really cool moment for Eduardo Flores and.

180
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 4: He got the star treatment. Too, he walked the car

181
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 4: Star treat.

182
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, but yeah, I mean, I think when it comes

183
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 7: to Dak's contract situation, there's no update until there's an update,

184
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 7: you know, in my in my eyes, yes, every time

185
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 7: that he comes into the spotlight and every time that

186
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 7: he comes out into the public and he's asked about it,

187
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 7: he's probably gonna give the same answer until there's an update.

188
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 7: So I mean, for me, I'm I'm along the same

189
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 7: lines of he's not trying to break into this exactly exactly,

190
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 7: and he's not going to that's that's not his style,

191
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 7: even if even if that would help him in this

192
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 7: in this case, I don't think that's his style necessarily.

193
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 7: So Isaiah is under the impression that he's going to

194
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 7: play the season out under under the final year of

195
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 7: his deal. I'm kind of fifty to fifty on it,

196
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 7: you know. I think something could get done at training camp,

197
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 7: I really do. But it was like, right, yeah, but

198
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 7: also it wouldn't surprise.

199
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 4: Me if we don't know anything, but just the feeling

200
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 4: and the vibe is like if it happens, training camp

201
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 4: is where it happens.

202
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think now though you look at the urgency

203
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 7: to get other deals done. Dak is not the one

204
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 7: that's getting ready to hold out of OTAs this week.

205
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 7: It's Ceedee Lamb and Michael Parsons. Now, Michael Parsons, I

206
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 7: don't think that's contract related. I think that's just because

207
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 7: you know, Mike is doing a separate offseason thing like

208
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 7: he did last year. But you still had factor that

209
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 7: in because you look at these big three contracts. They

210
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 7: haven't been making moves this offseason because of these big

211
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 7: three contracts, you know, not only to give them flexibility

212
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 7: this year, but also to understand that they're gonna need

213
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 7: that money in different places in twenty twenty five and

214
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 7: twenty twenty six. And those different places are these three guys.

215
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 7: So they need to get these things done sooner rather

216
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 7: than later. But I mean, if you're Ceedee Lamb, why

217
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 7: do you get it done before, Justin Jefferson, If you're

218
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 7: Dak Prescott, why do you get it done before? You

219
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 7: could probably have more leverage and more a bigger opportunity

220
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 7: to get more money next off season. You know, if

221
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 7: you're Michael Parsons, why do it now when you could

222
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 7: have a better year next year and up your price.

223
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 7: So I mean it's a weird limbo that the Cowboys

224
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 7: have found themselves in. Did they put themselves in this situation?

225
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 5: Yeah?

226
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 7: Probably, But that's where they're at, and that's I don't

227
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 7: think there's gonna be any movement until one of those

228
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 7: three pops. I think once one of them do, I

229
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 7: think that's when you kind of start seeing dominoing a

230
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 7: little bit a little bit.

231
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 4: And if they're waiting till next season, like next season's

232
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 4: salary cap situation is even worse. So I think that

233
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,599
Speaker 4: you I would hope that the cow was want to

234
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 4: get at least one of those done on the you know.

235
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, it would be even worse if they don't get

236
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 7: them done. Yeah, it would be even worse. Now if

237
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 7: they do, then their's flexibility to be created. But that's that's, Uh,

238
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 7: that's where you're at with it.

239
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 4: Well, you mentioned cd CD was at the foundation. I

240
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 4: believe he was interviewed on I don't know if there

241
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 4: were interesting quotes about no, nothing nothing there, Yeah, nothing

242
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 4: there yet And he won't be at ot as the

243
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 4: organized team activities that are going on this week. Granted

244
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 4: those are optional, those are voluntary. Uh, we won't get

245
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 4: into the mandatory until I believe it's next week with

246
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 4: June four through sixth four through six with the mini camps.

247
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 4: Isaiah coming from OTAs like do you first of all,

248
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 4: do you miss OTAs? No?

249
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 5: No, I don't, not one bit. But they're important. They

250
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 5: are important in terms of just getting back into the

251
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 5: swing of things, getting used to waking up again, getting up,

252
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 5: going to workouts, getting outside you know, obviously lifting with

253
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 5: the team, going outside, doing your conditioning, doing your routes,

254
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 5: you know, all the things that you that you need

255
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 5: to do. Your calls, you know, a little brief install

256
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 5: type stuff. And then the meetings. The meetings, especially when

257
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 5: you have a new coach staff on one side of

258
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 5: the ball, is very important because you need to get

259
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 5: up on game as soon as possible and get confident.

260
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 5: It's not just about instilling a playbook and a system

261
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 5: and a strategy and all that jazz, but it's also

262
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 5: about being able to just react when you hear it

263
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 5: right and be fully confident no matter what you see.

264
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 5: If I see, say we're playing cover two, okay, this

265
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 5: is a cover two. This is my shade on the

266
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 5: defensive front versus this type of look, versus three by one.

267
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 5: But if they come out in a two by two.

268
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 5: What the heck do I do? You know, I need

269
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 5: to be able to react to that. I don't want

270
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 5: to be thinking about what did it look like on paper?

271
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 6: Again?

272
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 5: Okay on page seventy seven, all right, they shifted over,

273
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 5: you know, So you want to just be able to react.

274
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 5: So by the time training camp comes, you're literally just playing,

275
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 5: and now a coach can start manipulating you in positions

276
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 5: and start playing with your strengths and how you play

277
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 5: with somebody else. Right, we might work really well together

278
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 5: me and they might not work that great together in

279
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 5: this particular package. So you want to get all those

280
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 5: things hammered out as early as possible. So when you

281
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 5: have guys missing, it kind of sucks. But when they're

282
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 5: those the type of players like mikeh CD, you're gonna

283
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 5: be perfectly fine. But it's still I think, at least

284
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 5: for defensive side of the ball, is going to have

285
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 5: an impact on Zimber's ability to really hit the ground

286
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 5: running immediately, but he'll work around it. By front of

287
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 5: player's perspective, OTAs are important for majority of the players.

288
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's that's something I was kind of thinking about

289
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 7: as I was driving in this morning, Clarence Hilla tweeted

290
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 7: out that Cedee Lamb is not here for the start

291
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 7: of OTAs and Michael Parsons is not here for the

292
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 7: start of OTAs, and the Micah thing was what kind

293
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 7: of got my brain jogging a little bit. Just because

294
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 7: they're going into the first year under that new defensive system,

295
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 7: will Micah's role look a little bit different? Who knows?

296
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 7: I mean, he's the most important player on the defense

297
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 7: in my opinion, and it's I think having him on

298
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 7: the field for these OTAs would definitely help. But you

299
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 7: would have to assume that there's been communication, had to

300
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 7: know that he's not going to be in the building

301
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 7: for this week, and then you just kind of roll

302
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 7: with the just on that maybe he comes midway through OTAs.

303
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 7: Who knows, there's we don't know what the plan is there.

304
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 4: And to kind of backtrack a little bit, is there

305
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 4: kind of no concern for you for CD not attending OTAs?

306
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 4: I mean, is it more so Mica than anything?

307
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't have any concern for CD not not here.

308
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,359
Speaker 4: Is the offense is still in places.

309
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 5: The same offense. You have to assume my understanding for

310
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 5: what we used to do you have to assume that

311
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,000

321
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 5: about business. Yeah.

327
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 9: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

328
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 9: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

329
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 9: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

330
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 9: But the good news is Todd has at and T

331
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 9: five g. It is fast, reliable and secure, and he

332
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 9: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

333
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 9: toss her the backpack with the beef stew at and

334
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,400

Speaker 7: back in nineteen eighty four.

396
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,240

Speaker 5: for my fortieth birthday.

398
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 4: Congradulation.

399
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 7: I just hope the dinner goes somewhat smoother than it

400
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 7: did last year in Seattle. Can we tell that story

401
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 7: really quick? Oh my gosh. Okay, So there was like

402
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 7: what twelve people at that dinner, give or take, and

403
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 7: at the end of the dinner about that At the

404
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 7: end of the dinner. The waiter was gave us one

405
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 7: ticket and he's like, yeah, if it's a party of

406
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 7: more than four, it has to be paid on one ticket.

407
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 7: And we're like, we're not doing that because the tab

408
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 7: would have been like what like twenty five hundred dollars.

409
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 7: So we're like, no, that's that's not gonna work. We

410
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 7: need to break this down. So from the time he

411
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 7: gave us that to breaking down every individual receipt, we

412
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 7: were there like an hour for no exaggeration. Like by

413
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 7: the end of it, I gave Haley Sutton my card.

00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 5: The next day. I don't drink alcohol, so I'll be

Speaker 5: do so. But yeah, it's gonna be a good time.

431
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 4: That's be a good one. So that's the preseason. So

432
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,239
Speaker 4: preseason yea, Rams, Raiders, Chargers, No surprise there. Let's get

433
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 4: into the good stuff. We talked about the Browns last week.

434
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 4: This first half of the schedule before the bye week

435
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 4: is pretty insane.

436
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 5: Yes it is. Somebody doesn't like the Cowboys.

437
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 4: Brown Saints, Ravens, Giants, Steelers, Lions in the bye week

438
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 4: on October twentieth.

439
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 7: So go ahead, Josh, go ahead. No, how are we

440
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 7: feeling about it this? Whenever you were looking at the

441
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 7: opponents going into the schedule last last week, the opponents

442
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 7: you knew you had, you knew you were going to

443
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 7: be kind of facing an uphill battle at some point

444
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 7: in the schedule last year, at some point, at some

445
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 7: point last year was on the back half. It was

446
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 7: in December, whenever you had Buffalo, Miami, Detroit, who else

447
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 7: was in there?

448
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 4: At Philly.

449
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 7: This time it's front loaded, which I think plays Seattle.

450
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 7: Last year, I think it plays a little bit in

451
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 7: favor of the Cowboys because then you're not going into

452
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 7: the playoffs off such a hard run there, whereas this

453
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 7: time you're going into the playoffs. Yes you have a

454
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 7: Week seventeen game against the Eagles, but yeah sixteen at

455
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 7: home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But then you got

456
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 7: the Panthers around that, the Commanders around that. So I mean,

457
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 7: it's not as hard as the December. This year is

458
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 7: not as hard as it was last year. But pre

459
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 7: bye week last year, if the Cowboys come out this

460
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 7: season and play pre bye week like they did last year,

461
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 7: pre bye week, they're going into that bye week two

462
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 7: and four, and that's and then you're going you had

463
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 7: to play the forty nine ers coming out of that

464
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 7: in Week eight. That's when you that's when you start

465
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 7: looking at some some potential changes that could happen because

466
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 7: you have thirty players that are going into the final

467
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 7: year of their contract. You have a coach and a

468
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 7: defensive coordinator that are going into the final year of

469
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 7: their contracts.

470
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 4: That's where I think it could get a little bit messy.

471
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 7: But let's say this, whether they are able to get

472
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 7: through that early storm after week eight or not unscathed.

473
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 7: You have week nine through Week eighteen where you only

474
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 7: have four playoff opponents from twenty twenty three. That can

475
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 7: give them an opportunity to either catch up in the

476
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 7: division or to build a lead in the division one

477
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 7: way or the other. And I think that does help

478
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 7: them at the end of the day. But they got

479
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 7: to get through that first, that first goblet.

480
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 5: Yeah. I don't know who made the schedule, but they

481
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 5: clearly put baby powder on their hands and just slap

482
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 5: the cowboys in the first partner to see it.

483
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right.

484
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,479
Speaker 5: The first three games, That's that's a hard start.

485
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 4: Brown Saints Ravens.

486
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 5: Brown Saints Ravens. And I'm not talking about.

487
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 4: This not familiar opponents.

488
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not talking about the Saints so much.

489
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 4: Okay, But even so, that was another question I was

490
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 4: going to ask as far as trap games go, Like, yea,

491
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 4: you pull out one against the Browns and then play

492
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 4: the Saints like you did the Cardinals last year. That's

493
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 4: that's an ela.

494
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 5: I mean, hopefully you learned from experience, But take the

495
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 5: take those first three games. Cleveland and Baltimore are two

496
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 5: of the best defenses in the league period pre like, yeah, period,

497
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 5: a freaking period. And in Cleveland, to me, scares me

498
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 5: from this. And they always talked about the too whatever. Okay,

499
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 5: they got something, that's exactly. They got some freaking dogs

500
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 5: over there in Cleveland, some pure dogs. And there's somebody

501
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 5: on the offensive side of the ball who probably wants

502
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 5: a little payback. So playing playing the Cleveland Browns at

503
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 5: their healthiest against I'll call it what it is, the

504
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 5: most dominating physical defensive player in the league.

505
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 7: M yeah, I'll give you that.

506
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 2: Give that.

507
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 7: As far as power rushers go, there's not a better

508
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 7: one in the league, right.

509
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 5: The most dominant physical specimen in the league.

510
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 4: That's fair.

511
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 5: Michau's everybody's gonna say. Compare Micaeh. Micah Is is notch

512
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 5: below in terms of abilities. To me, you talking about

513
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 5: somebody is Miles Garret who literally just line up, no

514
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 5: matter who you are, and put his hand in your

515
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 5: chest and run you back into the quarterback. That's just

516
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 5: one of his moves. Even Tyler God, even Tyler, well,

517
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 5: you have a whole off season, Tyler uh soil, you're

518
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 5: ready for this film? Is that your? I mean? The

519
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 5: good news is he is a film buff. The good

520
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 5: thing is Miles Garrett won't have film to watch, yeah

521
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 5: of Tyler guy.

522
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 4: That's fair. That's fair.

523
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 7: That is fair.

524
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 5: So that's that's the positive. So Cleveland is a is

525
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 5: gives me the bubble guts. Okay, the Saints Okay, back

526
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 5: at the crib like you're good. Baltimore comes in. You

527
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 5: know what that is? Okay, you nately know what that is?

528
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 5: You better? You better, you better put your jockstrap Bard.

529
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 7: Who are you spying on Lamar Marvin Orshan if he's

530
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 7: ready to go? Yeah, which the problem expectations training camp?

531
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 7: So yeah, yeah, over showing lea foul based on whoever.

532
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 5: It's gonna be interesting. It's gonna be interesting to see

533
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 5: Zimmer's approach. First of all, obviously we gotta get through

534
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 5: those first handful of games, but it's gonna be a

535
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 5: very interesting to see his approach to that team, especially

536
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 5: with the addition of King Henry. Yeah, it's gonna be

537
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 5: that offense changes with King Henry back there.

538
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 7: You have to have a defensive tackle for that.

539
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 5: Game, exactly, exactly. So, I mean, I know we're getting

540
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 5: the contest and the context of Zimmer's comments on Mazi,

541
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 5: but Baltimore is dangerous for all the reason everybody knows. Okay,

542
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 5: so those first three games give me the bubble gus.

543
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 5: You'll know exactly who you are. Then you get into

544
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 5: the Pittsburgh obviously in New York is New York Pittsburgh.

545
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 7: On a second, this New York Thursday night game, you

546
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 7: have to travel to New York off four days rest

547
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 7: after most likely taking a beating against the Ravens. Physically,

548
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 7: whether you win or lose that game, you're gonna take

549
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 7: a beating in that not feel.

550
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I mean, I hear you that. I'm

551
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 5: not until I see different. I'm not that concerned about

552
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 5: New York. Obviously, every team's different going into every season.

553
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 5: As of right now, I'm unbothered by them. Pittsburgh gives

554
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 5: me a little bit of bubble gups just because I

555
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 5: know they're coaching because of how well they're coached, and.

556
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 4: Who knows where they're going to be at that.

557
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 5: Who knows where they're going to be at that point.

558
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 5: But I but what we do know is they're going

559
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 5: to have a competitive quarterback play and that's something that's

560
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 5: that's hurt them over the past few years. Right So

561
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 5: that team with us, with the coach that they've always

562
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 5: had and solid quarterback play. They could be a problem.

563
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 4: May be the playoffs with Kenny Pikett exactly like so Pittsburgh.

564
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 5: So I mean, look at Cleveland Browns one of the

565
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 5: best defense in the league. Okay, Baltimore Ravens one of

566
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 5: the best defenses in the league, Pittsburgh one of the

567
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 5: best defense in the league. And then you got Detroit.

568
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, who wants paidback from last year?

569
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 5: Oh, apps of freaking loutely. So that those four out

570
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 5: of the first six games, that's tough. Man. To your point,

571
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 5: I don't know what it may be at that point,

572
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,959
Speaker 5: we'll see. I'll give I'll give my statement after training camp. Okay,

573
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 5: was I can see the squad. But there's four of

574
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 5: the best defenses and teams in the first six games.

575
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 4: And then you get the bye week after that cone.

576
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 5: Which sucks because you don't want to buy week early.

577
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 5: That's an early from a player's perspective, trust me, because

578
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 5: your body, you're asking me now to play eleven regular

579
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 5: season games straight.

580
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, potentilarly playoffs and then straight.

581
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 5: Into the playoffs potentially based upon what I do during

582
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 5: the regular season. Yeah, there's no breaks. Your body gets

583
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 5: no rest. I would much rather have my bye week

584
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 5: in the middle to the second half of the season,

585
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 5: especially obviously if you have plans or realistic opportunities to

586
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 5: go into the playoffs, because you want to be as

587
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 5: fresh as possible. But you got your drawn. It is

588
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 5: what it is. The other portion of the schedule that

589
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 5: I hate, outside of those those first four out of

590
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 5: six games is coming straight off of week eight, Week

591
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 5: eight to week twelve, that next block, okay, after the bye,

592
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 5: because the good thing is you get a chance to

593
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 5: prepare for San Francisco, thank you, yes, yeah, and you're

594
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 5: in in San fran Okay, that's gonna be that to me, obviously,

595
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 5: everybody knows that's gonna be a challenge. Okay, San fran

596
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 5: Atlanta young talent, we'll see where they're at. Okay, But

597
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 5: then you go straight into Philly, straight into the Texans,

598
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 5: and straightened to Dan Quinn, who has transformed his roster.

599
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 5: We'll see where they're at.

600
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 4: I believe that number.

601
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 5: I believe he's gonna be very competitive this year. I

602
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 5: truly believe that that team is gonna be very competitive

603
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 5: with a bunch of just contributors, not big name guys.

604
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 5: But guys who all know what the heck they're doing,

605
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 5: do their job very well, and they're gonna probably sink

606
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 5: and play very well together and communicate all those things.

607
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 5: It's gonna be one of those teams where it's like

608
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 5: they don't do nothing flashy, but dog on, they just

609
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 5: they're there. They're in every game and if they get

610
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 5: any quarterback play.

611
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 4: I don't expect the Commanders to necessarily be a playoff team,

612
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 4: but I definitely am expecting them to split their Eagles

613
00:27:58,800 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 4: and Cowboys.

614
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 5: Oh, I think they're in the conversation. I think as

615
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 5: of right now, I think they're going to push that conversation.

616
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 7: You think they have more of a chance with the Giants, Yes,

617
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 7: I think that's fair.

618
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 5: Yes, I think they pushed that conversation.

619
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 8: That last year.

620
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 5: Was that last year the year before, we had three teams,

621
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 5: three out of four NFC East teams in the playoffs.

622
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 7: Two years ago.

623
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, yes, I think I can foresee I can foresee

624
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 5: that being one of those situations.

625
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 7: Are they closer to the Giants for the Cowboys like

626
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 7: you have them in the middle right there? Yeah, you

627
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 7: think they're probably better than I think they're in the

628
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 7: third spot.

629
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 5: I think they're in the third spot in the NFC

630
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 5: East behind the Cowboys.

631
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, you think they're closer to getting to Dallas or

632
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 7: they closer to falling more so than.

633
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 5: I don't want to make that statement yet.

634
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 7: I'm curious where you're at.

635
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 5: I do believe that they're going to be very competitive though.

636
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 5: If you look at what they've done defensively roster wise,

637
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 5: there's there's there's You should be concerned. You should be

638
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 5: concerned with what he's added on defense. They've literally kicked

639
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 5: everybody off the team and just said, okay, you know

640
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 5: what now I want you you you you when you hey,

641
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 5: Bobby come over here? Who else we got over here?

642
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,959
Speaker 5: And they just started grabbing guys. Got Bobby Dog all right,

643
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 5: They got Boby Wagner in the middle of the defense, right,

644
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 5: So smart cerebral players that know what they're doing, don't

645
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 5: make mistakes, right. He puts some splash players around him.

646
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 5: Got young talent out there, k on defense from the

647
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 5: draft right and now on offense. O, K, you got

648
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 5: a young got a young QB. But he also has

649
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 5: Austin Eckler's and guys like that that can go out

650
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 5: there and cause you issues. For matchups, so he was

651
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 5: very strategic in terms of putting his roster together, enough

652
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 5: time spent on Dan Quinn. But I think those guys

653
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 5: gonna be competitive. So I think that San fran K,

654
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 5: then obviously Ato, whatever, Philly, Texans, Washington. That's another four

655
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 5: out of five games right there. That is a problem

656
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 5: to me.

657
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 4: And then you just have Cincinnati coming up next, and

658
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 4: then you just have the Eagle.

659
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that. I think that New York, Cincinnati, Carolina.

660
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 5: I think that's kind of like if you were gonna

661
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 5: Cadillac it. I think that's your Cadillac season right there.

662
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 4: Just just kind of chilling.

663
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 5: Just chilling. I think. I think if you're in a

664
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 5: good position after those games, those three games are gonna

665
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 5: sem like a cake walk.

666
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 7: Cincinnati, I don't think.

667
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 5: I think Cincinnati. I don't think Cincinnati is what they

668
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 5: used to be. I really don't. And I think they

669
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 5: have too many problems in the locker room right now

670
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 5: contract you with issues. I don't think they're all one unit.

671
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 5: I think we're I think I think I think what

672
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 5: we saw from them a couple of years ago, where

673
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 5: they were a complete problem, I think that's gone. And

674
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 5: I think They're gonna have to reinvent themselves. I truly,

675
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 5: I don't think they have that identity anymore.

676
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 7: What's a tougher game Monday night against Cincinnati at home

677
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 7: or Sunday night against Tampa Bay at home.

678
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go Tampa. I'm going with Cincinnati because of

679
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 4: Joe Burr's ha haircut. You know what I'm saying.

680
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 7: I saw that fake. That's a disappointment Tampa Bay.

681
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 5: Now, yeah, yeah, man, Tampa's a defensive team too, right, So,

682
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 5: I mean the offense is gonna have to step up.

683
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 5: Offense got to step up. There's there's not a lot

684
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 5: of teams out here that scare me offensively handful of teams, obviously.

685
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 4: Are you more concerned about the Eagles this year than

686
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 4: you are the Commanders?

687
00:30:59,640 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 5: Yes?

688
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 7: Absolutely, still absolutely, still absolutely.

689
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 5: Yes, the answer is yes. But I don't I'm interested.

690
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 4: You just seem very very hyped up concerned.

691
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 5: I'm concerned. I really am concerned because I know what

692
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,239
Speaker 5: the energy of dan Quinn energy does and we've seen it.

693
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 5: Yeah Yeaheta, It's not just one side of the ball

694
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,719
Speaker 5: that feels that. Yeah, So yes, I am. I mean

695
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 5: I'm concerned about them. Philly, still Philly. We have to

696
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,239
Speaker 5: see what Kellen Moore is going to do.

697
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 4: That's that is a new wrinkle. Yes it is this season.

698
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 5: Yes, and we know Kellen Moore likes to throw it around.

699
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 4: You kind of forget about that, you do forget about it.

700
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 5: He had a little couple of stumbles down there in

701
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 5: Los Angeles, but that but.

702
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 4: The whole coaching situation, that whole coach.

703
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 5: Situation was terrible. But outside of that tenure, he's been

704
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 5: very successful at what he does, especially when he has weapons.

705
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 7: Aside from the front end of the schedule that we've

706
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 7: talked about many times as far as being a lot

707
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 7: of really good defenses, a lot of physical teams. You

708
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 7: look throughout the schedule, you see a lot of teams

709
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 7: or just coach really well and physical teams. You're gonna

710
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 7: need to come with a different approach than you had

711
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 7: last year when it comes to physicality on the field,

712
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 7: because you go into a game like Buffalo and you

713
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 7: know what's gonna happen after the first drive. You go

714
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 7: into a game like Green Bay, you know what's gonna

715
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 7: happen after the first drive, and you can't have that

716
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 7: happen this year because there's gonna be more than just

717
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 7: the four or five games where that happens this specific schedule.

718
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 7: You have about seven or eight games where that's the case,

719
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 7: and you need to you need to be able to

720
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 7: match that physicality. I mean you talk about the Bengals. Yes,

721
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 7: they might not be the product that we've seen in

722
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 7: yours past. Still a really physical team, still a really

723
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 7: well coached team in my eyes. Zach Taylor does a

724
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 7: fantastic job Tampa Bay, same way. I think Caroline is

725
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 7: gonna be a little bit better this year. You gotta

726
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 7: go back there again this year, Eagles twice. I mean,

727
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 7: you're gonna have to do what's.

728
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 5: Your most physical, physical game on the schedule.

729
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 4: Ravens.

730
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's Ravens outside, even more so Detroit and San fran.

731
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's the Ravens. Yeah, because because you have to

732
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 7: account for what's coming out of the backfield and you're

733
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 7: gonna be having to take that hit multiple times throughout

734
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 7: the game.

735
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 5: Who's taking that hit on everybody?

736
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 7: Whoever's played defensive tackle, whoever playing.

737
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 5: Who's the first of contact on the inside.

738
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 7: If it's not a defensive tackle getting signed, it's Eric Kendricks.

739
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 4: Ravens one hundred percent for me.

740
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 5: I think for those who don't know what he just said,

741
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 5: that means that he's gonna be on the second level.

742
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 4: Exactly exactly, Uh Derrick Henry for the Ravens, that's gonna

743
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 4: be rough, man. I don't want to see that. I

744
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 4: don't wan to see him runing out the middle. I

745
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,959
Speaker 4: just don't want to see him running, period. It's just

746
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 4: you just take that week off, man about it.

747
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 5: I think that's a tough question, man, I truly believe.

748
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 5: I don't know what that looks like. Cleveland physical, Baltimore physical,

749
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 5: Pittsburgh you best believe is gonna be physical, Detroit, Detroit physical,

750
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 5: San fran physical. Yeah. I don't know what the answer is.

751
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 4: And to think about beat up, they're going commanders, commanders too.

752
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 4: They're gonna want to play.

753
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, real tough.

754
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,920

Speaker 9: Tod thought it would be secure to jog in the

786
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 9: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

787
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 9: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

788
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 9: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per

789
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 9: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

790
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 9: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

791
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 9: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

792
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 9: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

793
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,520

Speaker 4: that in as well. All right, boys, last segment, I

811
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 4: want to talk about Mosic Smith real quick. You kind

812
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 4: of teased it earlier in the show. His weight, more so,

813
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 4: a lot has been brought up about his weight, his

814
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 4: uh using weight last season whenever he got I think

815
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 4: he started at three point thirty and then went down

816
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 4: at about two ninety seive what I thought he was

817
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 4: covering more so around like three twenty three when he

818
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 4: got here. I think it was what he was listed

819
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 4: as last year. He was subbed three hundred by the

820
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 4: end of the season. There was no official measurement at

821
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 4: the end of the year, but he was looking so

822
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 4: I test. But Mike's Zimmer actually talked about his weight

823
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 4: and basically his conditioning last week. Do you want to kind

824
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 4: of touch on that.

825
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 13: Yeah.

826
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 7: So it's it's weird because it's depending on who you

827
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 7: talk to, you kind of get a different answer. As

828
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 7: far as why that weight loss happened last year, Some

829
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 7: kind of attributed it to him having that shoulder problem

830
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 7: towards the end of the year and him not being

831
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 7: able to get in the weight room as much. Some

832
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 7: would attribute it to, you know, him being more conditioned

833
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 7: last year than what he was used to a Michigan.

834
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 7: Some would say that it was because they were trying

835
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 7: to fit him under the dan Quinn defense under more

836
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 7: so as a three tech rather than a one tech,

837
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 7: which doesn't even make sense. I don't believe that sort

838
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 7: of thinking, but that's what Mike Zimmer had kind.

839
00:37:58,520 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 4: Of alluded to.

840
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 5: Juris what caused it.

841
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 7: It doesn't matter what caused it. Absolutely, it does not

842
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 7: matter what caused it. He needs to be three twenty

843
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 7: plus to play one tech and to be able to

844
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 7: just hone in in the middle of that defensive line

845
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 7: and be the guy there. He's got to do it

846
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:15,280
Speaker 7: this year. I believe they'll add another body there before camp.

847
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 7: I'm pretty confident in that. And there's honestly, there's a

848
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 7: couple of guys out there that I think could be

849
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 7: better than Mazzie Smith was last year already. You know,

850
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 7: I think there's a big concern around that position. Still,

851
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 7: don't get me wrong, But there can be a body

852
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 7: added to that group and it'd still be okay. But

853
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 7: as far as Mazzie Smith goes his off season shoulder surgery,

854
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 7: he's gonna have to come off that. He's gonna have

855
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 7: to be able to rehab from that completely in time

856
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 7: for training camp and be ready to hit the ground

857
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 7: running at training camp because he's gonna have he's gonna

858
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 7: have a couple of guys, not only Mike Zimmer, but

859
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 7: also defensive line coach Jeff Scanina on his rear end

860
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 7: to get him ready to go for week one.

861
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 5: And from John Bashoda, he said, Coach Zimmer say, we're

862
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 5: gonna start with the basics. Get him in a good stance,

863
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 5: get him using his hands the right way.

864
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 4: You have to do it. In John's voice though, no.

865
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 5: No, I'm not doing that. We're gonna start with the basis,

866
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 5: get him in a good stance, get him using his

867
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 5: hands the right way, getting his footwork the right way,

868
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 5: and then kind of go from there. We anticipate that

869
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,240
Speaker 5: he's gonna be a good player like he was in college.

870
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 7: So he's saying that he was not a good player

871
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 7: in your one. Correct there's an appearance something like that.

872
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 4: Can we get him there?

873
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 5: Yeah? There is? Yeah, that's what it sounds like. We're

874
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 5: gonna anticipate that he's going to be going to be

875
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 5: a good player like he was. Dude, what's up, bro?

00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,160

Speaker 5: Yeah, I like yeah, I like it.

893
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 2: The uh the kids are doing great. Yes, all three.

894
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 4: All three are homes, which is trial baby, yeah, graduate.

895
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 2: Mikey was the last one to get home and he

896
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 2: had surgery last week.

897
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 5: So how many divers are you going through per day?

898
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 4: At least I'm trying to think.

899
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 5: I'm trying. I can give you like an exact seventeen eighteen.

900
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 2: So they get fed every three hours, so that's eight

901
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 2: feedings per kid. And they get changed usually once or

902
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 2: twice per feeding, so that's eight times three, so twenty four.

903
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 4: So probably thirty to forty at least. Yeah, almostaid a

904
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 4: bad word. Go fund me for decades, Yeah exactly.

905
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 5: But when you an.

906
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 4: Officials diaper sponsor for Talking Cowboys, for sure, I just.

907
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,439
Speaker 2: Want to come say that's amazing, man doing all right, Yeah,

908
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 2: you're doing good.

909
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 4: I'm good overall.

910
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 2: Got four hours last night, so I got a little

911
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 2: extra energy, little pep in my stereogo all.

912
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 4: Right, y'all. Well, mission bro goo to see a buddy.

913
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 4: You guys will see you, thanks man, Massie Smith. Wait right, yeah, so.

914
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 5: I mean yeah, so I mean hearing that last sentence,

915
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,280
Speaker 5: we anticipate that he's going gonna be a good player

916
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 5: like he was in college. What do you think about that?

917
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,240
Speaker 4: I honestly cannot speak to his uh, his play in college.

918
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 4: It's not necessarily my abou im talking about Zimmer's statement. Oh,

919
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 4: I think it it's probably best that he goes back

920
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 4: to the sort of frame that he had when he

921
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 4: entered uh the NFL draft, and not necessarily what he

922
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 4: was doing last year. Just whatever he was doing last year,

923
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 4: just maybe don't do that. And for Mike Zimmer's defense,

924
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 4: I think it makes sense to keep him at a

925
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 4: at A three.

926
00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 7: I'll say this coming out of coming out of freakishly

927
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 7: athletic for his size still is the case. I mean,

928
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 7: we're only a year removed from that. Let's not get

929
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 7: too far ahead from you know, what he was whenever

930
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 7: he arrived in the building. I if if the coaching

931
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,280
Speaker 7: staff was the one that wanted to experiment with losing

932
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 7: weight with him and potentially moving him over to three tech.

933
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 7: If that is the actual case, I see where they're

934
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 7: coming from. Okay, Hey, this guy is freakishly athletic. We

935
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 7: have a guy Jonathan Hankins that canmand down the one tech.

936
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,879
Speaker 7: Let's try to maximize this athleticism potentially at three tech.

937
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 7: So we have two guys in the defensive interior that

938
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 7: have this size, they had this build, and one of

939
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 7: them is freakishly athletic. The other one just knows how

940
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 7: to fill up running lanes. And I understand where they're

941
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 7: coming from in that sense. Granted, you still have Osa,

942
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 7: who I think is a freakitionly athletic guy in his

943
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 7: own right, but maybe Mazi you see a little bit

944
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 7: more size there and a little bit more ability to

945
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 7: plug running lanes and maybe an ability to rush the

946
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,359
Speaker 7: passer as well. Dan Quinn always talked about it too.

947
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 7: I don't love it, though, I'm not saying I'm just

948
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 7: seeing where we were coming from. Yeah, but I could

949
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 7: see dan Quinn having that mind mindset, yeah, because he

950
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 7: goes after athletic guys. He wants to maximize athleticism over

951
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 7: anything else. That's why you looked up last year and

952
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 7: you only had one linebacker left on the rosters, because

953
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 7: they were trying to prioritize athletic guys under the Quinn defense.

954
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 5: Our very o JM asked him a little bit more

955
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 5: detailed questions and Zimmer came back and said, he is

956
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 5: going to be an attacking three technique to get up

957
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 5: the field. But the plan for this season is to

958
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 5: probably play blocks a little more.

959
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 4: So they're going to play him at three tech. Who

960
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 4: do you play?

961
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 7: Who's who's gonna be the one tech? Who is going

962
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:32,919
Speaker 7: to be the one tech on this roster?

963
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 4: Isaiah's looking for him?

964
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know.

965
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 4: It not mine post June one. I feel like you

966
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 4: you find out a little more. Yeah, probably so, probably so.

967
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's that's that's that's a fascinating.

968
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 4: It remains to be seen, I think on that end,

969
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 4: and it just they'll figure something out. It's just like

970
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 4: it's not gonna be. It's not gonna be what That's

971
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 4: not what the people want to hear?

972
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:56,959
Speaker 5: Josh right?

973
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 4: I mean is that what they want to hear?

974
00:43:58,600 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 5: Bro?

975
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 4: There will be play, is there?

976
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 5: It's it's players outside of free agency and outside of

977
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 5: the draft.

978
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 7: Is the front Maybe the front's just gonna look different.

979
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, maybe the front's just gonna look a lot.

980
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 5: I can go with that.

981
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, Hey man, Mike's Parsons still plays on this team.

982
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:17,760
Speaker 4: Do you have the Marcus Lawrence?

983
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, Carl Davis.

984
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 4: Anyway, Yeah, I got it.

985
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 7: What do you have more concern over defensive tackle running

986
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,919
Speaker 7: back the tackle, Yes, same defense. A lot of people

987
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 7: are putting so much emphasis and focus on this running back.

988
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 5: Why.

989
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 7: I get why because it's it's a it's a big position,

990
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 7: and I don't think because the Cowboys.

991
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 4: You need to have a you have.

992
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 5: If your offensive line is moving mountains off the ball,

993
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 5: it doesn't matter who's toting the rock. Cavante Turpin will

994
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 5: have success as a running back. If the offensive line

995
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 5: is moving guys off the line of scrimmage, that is

996
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 5: where your focus has to be. That's where you need

997
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 5: to invest your money. At no disrespect to the crew

998
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 5: eats out there who play the running back position, but

999
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 5: there's just very few of them left and which is

1000
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 5: why their value has gotten down. That doesn't mean that

1001
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 5: guys can't contribute, doesn't mean that guys can't catch, can't

1002
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 5: pass ball, can't run the ball for like, But what

1003
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 5: are you doing to separate yourself from the other thousand

1004
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 5: running backs around the league. There's probably small margins that

1005
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 5: are going to separate those guys. So with that being

1006
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,959
Speaker 5: the case, that's not where my focus is. I want

1007
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 5: my old line to move anybody who steps in the

1008
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 5: line of scrimmage. These defensive fronts that we just talked

1009
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 5: about Cleveland, Baltimore, Detroit, San France. If you can't move

1010
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 5: those guys off the ball, it doesn't matter. They don't care.

1011
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 5: If you had King Henry in the back, he's not

1012
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,919
Speaker 5: running over three hundred and thirty pounds except for maybe

1013
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 5: get two yards. It's gonna be, you know, whatever a

1014
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 5: cloud of does. The running back position is gonna be

1015
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 5: perfectly fined by committee. You have to address the old line.

1016
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 5: And if you address the old line, trust me, you're

1017
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 5: gonna be gucci. But if you don't address the D line, yeah,

1018
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 5: you're gonna be getting moved off the ball. The same

1019
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 5: when we're talking about our office line, hoping that they

1020
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:57,240
Speaker 5: move guys off this, it's.

1021
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 4: Gonna be that Green Bay game kind of over.

1022
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,800
Speaker 7: It's gonna be worse because there's no Jonathan Hankins. Yeah,

1023
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 7: granted you have you have stability in the second level, now,

1024
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 7: which I'll give the I'll give the front office credit

1025
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 7: for that. I think they did a good job in

1026
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 7: addressing the second level this year to the best of

1027
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 7: their ability. Were their better names out there, absolutely, but

1028
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 7: based on what they wanted to spend at the position.

1029
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 7: I think they got the best guys that they could

1030
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 7: possibly get with the money they had available to them.

1031
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 7: But the defensive tackle position got to be addressed.

1032
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 5: It's got to be Cleveland's gonna run, Baltimore's gonna run,

1033
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 5: Pittsburg's gonna run, Detroit's gonna run. San Francis is gonna run,

1034
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 5: Philly's gonna.

1035
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 4: Run, Yo, Mama's gonna run, Ye, Daddy's.

1036
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. These teams, these are teams

1037
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:35,919
Speaker 5: that are going to run the ball.

1038
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, for sure. And we'll have to supplement that somehow.

1039
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 4: With that positive note, boys, we'll be back next Tuesday week.

1040
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,320
Speaker 4: Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend.

1041
