You bring the energy and 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:31.480 you don't hold back, right, that's the whole conversation. We 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:33.880 got to give a ton of energy going into the 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:38.679 weekend because of course, the Cowboys play actual, meaningful football 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:39.560 and we. 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:41.240 Saw some meeting in full football last night. 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:43.760 How about Dan Campbell and the fighting meal's going and 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.000 getting it from the Kansas City Chiefs. 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:48.160 New as soon as we saw those guys on the 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.240 schedule for this season, I knew those guys were going 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:52.400 to be a problem. Yeah, complete problem. I don't care 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:54.160 you can say, oh, Kelsey wasn't it. I don't care 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.760 what you want to say. That team has been doing 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.520 nothing but building ever since Dan Campbell has step foot 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:00.000 in that building. 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:01.800 And kudos to him and his entire staff. 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:02.120 A g. 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.120 Aaron Glenn, my old teammate from here in Dallas doing 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:07.880 this thing as well. I mean, those guys, they have 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:09.680 a heck of a coaching staff. It's really cool to 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:13.160 see former players being successful as coaches and going back 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:14.880 and pulling up some of that some of the former 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:17.440 players as well. So kudos to that, to that coaching staff. 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:18.840 Until they played Dallas. 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.600 That December stretch has got a whole lot more difficult. 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:24.440 Well, when you're going from Philly, Buffalo, Miami and now Detroit, 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:26.959 that's gonna be just as tough for the defense at least. 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.320 So Man, so you're saying we can't drop the energy 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:30.480 like Canarius Tony? 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:33.560 Yeah, how about that on my frock? 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.519 Yeah, I started them, y'all started. Yeah, I kind of 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:36.840 had to. 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.840 I was like, you knew the ball was going to him, 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:41.519 So it's like it makes sense. You know, he's a 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:43.840 he's a heck of a receiver when he catches, and 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:45.760 then he knew he was gonna get the brock last 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.560 night and yeah, he had a poopsies. 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.880 I would say that, I would say this, they look 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:54.640 like the front runner to make a move for a 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:55.840 wide receiver at some point. 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:56.919 Yeah, I mean you can't. 0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.200 There's just too much riding on this on what this 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:02.360 team has to just be like, well, no, we'll figure 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.000 it out. One of these guys will have to step up. 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.160 But no, to your point that the Lions, though, Man, 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:09.000 being a native Metro Detroiter, there is a saying it's 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:11.480 same old Lions. You know everything, It's always same Allions. 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.240 And I'll tell you that Man, these last two games, 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.639 this one and that one at Green Bay, are nothing 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:19.160 like the Lions that I saw post Barry. They had 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:20.760 some good years in the nineties with Barry Singiers, but 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:22.959 post Barry, you know, going in that Matt Millon era. 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:25.560 I mean, there's so many those games they like last night, 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:27.800 they lose that game, no no question about it. You know, 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:31.440 even with the drops, they lose that game. But yeah, 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.600 they're gonna be They're gonna be tough if they as 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.040 long as they stay healthy, that's gonna be. That's gonna 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.440 be a big matchup ats. I think the day before 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:42.080 New Year's Eve they played Cowboys down Yeah, thirtieth. 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:44.040 Yeah, it's supposed to be a Saturday night game. 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.040 That'll be fun matchup. 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.200 And I think you look at really the speed and 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:51.360 the power combination of what the Lions brought. 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.280 I mean, they've got some guys that'll take your ankles. 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:57.080 They'll snatch those ankles so fast, gives yeah the next level. 0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.120 And then you've got like a David Montgomery who's is 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.920 just a battering. He's just gonna run through everybody. Really 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.400 fun game to watch, But of course we don't see 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:07.400 the Lions for another four months, so we got to 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:08.880 kind of see how. 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.960 They continue along the way. I think they're legit. I've 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:13.080 said it all off season. 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:15.280 I think they're legit. How impressive is that offensive line? 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:17.640 You get rid of your top two running backs and 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.680 you bring in two more running backs and you have 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:20.840 the same as Exucis, if. 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.560 Not more, If not more, probably more, honestly. 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.840 And David Montgomery's case specifically towards the end of his 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.320 tenure in Chicago, thanks for a little rough and him 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.479 trying to find some make sure yardage and be a 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.160 good running back. But how much of that was attributed 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:34.880 to what he had up front? Kind of saw that 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:37.760 last night. Yeah, he's just as he's just as fine 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:39.599 between the tackles as he was two three years ago. 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:41.640 That's a fantasy positive for me yesterday. 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.480 Yeah, it's as interesting to see the way that the Bengals, 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:46.480 you know, they had a chance to draft Penny Soool 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:50.120 and took Jamar Chase. Obviously that's worked out great for them, sure, 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.360 but with the Lions. Not that Jamar Chase would be 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:53.800 great on the Lions, but I just feel like the 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:55.640 Penny Sool thing has been huge for them. 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.760 You know too, that that was a slow start too. Yeah, right, 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:00.880 but it's turned up as a yeah for sure. 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:04.320 Hitting on an Almond Rossaint Brown definitely. 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:05.400 Oh yeah, that's crazy. 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:09.120 So fourth round just to take talking Lions and take 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:11.640 it right back to talking cowboys. You guys continue to 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:15.960 talk about just how stout that front is for Detroit 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.080 and that offensive line is for Detroit. 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:25.039 How's uh, how's the Dallas offensive line looking? Nick Tyrone 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:28.400 Smith to the injury report? Yeah, what happened? Yeah? 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.480 So, uh, Tyron Smith yesterday limited in practice with an 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:33.480 ankle issue. Does not sound like it's going to keep 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:36.080 him out of Sunday night. Oh that's listening to Mike 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:38.120 McCarthy on the fan this morning. Sounds like he will 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:39.440 be okay to go on Sunday night. 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:40.320 As far as. 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:42.240 Tyler Smith still hoping he can get back on the 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:45.400 practice field by Saturday in hopes to play on Sunday night. 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:47.960 So I guess if there's any concerns, let's let's still 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:49.599 keep them with Tyler Smith, Tyrann. 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:51.600 It just looks precautionary at this point. 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:53.880 That's good just to throw this out here as your 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:55.279 worst case scenario, like. 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:57.040 Tweeted, I tweeted this yesterday. 0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:58.880 If you were to be without both of them for 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:01.880 this game, I think you'd be looking at starting True 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:04.640 Madoga at left tackle and then probably TJ. 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:07.520 Bass or I guess Austin Richards that left guard. 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:09.200 Yeah, whichever one they'd feel more comfionent. 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:10.480 And I say worst case scenario. 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.039 And like you said, Mike McCarthy sounded pretty optimistic on 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:15.080 the radio this morning, but it's also one of those 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.080 things that you have to prepare for that what if 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:20.240 during the game the ankle game, yeah, issue happens or 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.200 something like that. So yeah, it's you know, it's we've 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:25.640 talked about the offensive line depth all off season and 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.279 uh yeah, it could be an issue from week one. 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:30.680 See, but we've talked about the offensive line depth in 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:34.160 terms of a seventeen game season, and it's not true. 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.680 It's not it's not going to last a seventeen game season. 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:41.520 Guys, we're going into week one. We haven't even played 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:46.080 real football going into exactly. That's That's where I'm at. 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.080 It's like, Okay, is this the warning shot that needs 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:52.240 to be fired even if both of those guys are available, 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.240 Hopefully that's the case going into Week one, there is. 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.280 Not a lot of options. Then people don't get rid 0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.160 of solid offense alignment. That's the problem. There's a lot 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.080 of running backs that you can go grab, there's receivers 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.000 you can always go grab. There's always those skill guys 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:06.159 that you can bring in to fill a void, But 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:10.640 offensive linement are just not They're just not out there. 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.800 Yeah, yeah, you're you're definitely right about that. Going back 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:15.880 to the Chiefs game, they'll find a wide receiver to 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:17.120 help if it needs. 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:19.800 To be that nobody steps up there. 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.280 But on the offensive line, you're kind of sat with 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.440 what you have here. And because even if you were 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:26.160 to get some type of a veteran who hasn't been 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.520 on a rosters and then it's got all that time 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:31.120 they have to catch up to and the season's already 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.120 here there. You know, the Cowboys don't have time for 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.520 you to catch up and give you two three weeks 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:36.760 like they need they need somebody. Now. 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.240 That's why Denver was as aggressive as they were on 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:39.720 day one. 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.920 Yeah, like, get all those guys, pour the bag out, 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:44.560 because there's only a handful of these guys that can 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:45.640 really play at that level. 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:47.920 But we're the Cowboys really in a position to do 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.520 that same sort of deal because at least upfront their 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:52.960 set and they don't want to pay premium money for 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.000 a six guy on the offensive. 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.320 I mean, you know, now it looks great. 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.760 Sure, I don't think that they were in that position 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:04.200 to acquire those that caliber of office alignment. But don't 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:06.280 get somebody and now you're late, You're you're kind of 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:08.560 lading the game. And you know, I'm not here to 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:12.040 criticize their their timeline because I'm not sure what is 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.600 feasible what wasn't feasible, But I mean, the situation is 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:15.680 what it is, and it's not good. 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:18.720 I mean true, Modoga is their most significant off season 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.560 acquisition on the offensive line, and there's a good chance 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:22.960 that we're going to see a decent. 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.800 Amount of him Sunday night. So maybe we'll find out 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:27.880 more from him. Maybe maybe he'll look. 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.920 Better in the gas that yeah, surprise, Yeah, maybe he 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:32.520 looks better in some of the games than he does 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:34.560 than he has in some of the practices in that 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:36.520 and maybe, you know, being a veteran who's played in 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:38.800 that stadium plenty of times, maybe maybe he will play 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:40.320 well and maybe the game plan will fit with what 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:42.119 he does and they'll figure. 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.240 It out scale of one to ten. What's your confidence level? 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.160 And you're doing that four? 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:49.800 Four, and that's maybe high, that's maybe generous. Really I 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.240 love Tuma, but I mean for him. 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:54.600 To come in and spot duty after dealing with an injury, 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:56.679 telling about guard to tackle at back. 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.000 Guard, left guard. I do like him more left guard. 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:00.320 I know I've said that a lot, Like if he 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.280 was playing left tackle, maybe I'd be saying a three, 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:05.040 But I like him more at left guard. 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.360 So four. So in baseball he's killing it. 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:08.760 Yeah, there you go. 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:13.720 Look at that positive, full type of guy. 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:16.920 He'd be the best baseball player. And now I'll tell 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:17.240 you that. 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.880 Hey, let's not talk about that exaccurate though. Yeah, I 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:20.720 think that's pretty I. 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:22.240 Think I would put a four or five. 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:25.880 Yeah, I'm actually decently confident just because he has done 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.480 it before, Because he's been there before. It's not like 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:31.360 he's you're throwing one of these undrafted free agent rookies 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:31.800 like a TJ. 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:32.319 Bass. 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:34.959 Not that I don't like TJ. Bass, but he's in experience, 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.439 you know, so the confidence level naturally will be a 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:40.000 little bit lower, at least with the DOGA. He's been 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:41.920 out there and he's played meaningful hol snaps in an 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.880 NFL game. So I think I would say a four 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.360 and a half maybe a five in that regard. 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:48.120 What would you. 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:51.120 Put I give him a four point two seven three? 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:52.960 Okay, okay, very exactly. 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:57.600 I like, yeah, like TJ bass better personally really not 0:09:57.640 --> 0:09:59.320 from the side standpoint, but I think he got that 0:09:59.400 --> 0:09:59.920 dog intown. 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:01.880 So were we're talking like a four point two seven 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:05.079 five to a uh to like a four point three 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.680 four point seven five, four point seven, So like a 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:08.880 point five difference. 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:09.880 Half a point that major. 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:11.480 That's a half point major. That's big time. 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:16.480 Absolutely changes lives already does that changes lives? That's that's 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:17.440 one hundred million dollars. 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:21.160 They think TJ is the future, you know, at one 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.800 of their guard spots. I mean, why not throw them 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:24.880 to the world experience there. 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:27.640 Yeah, we were talking about this same sort of deal 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.199 with Terrence Steel in twenty twenty, similar. 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:31.880 Deal but at right tackle, which there was a lot 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:33.720 of panic at that time too, Yes there was. 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.480 Now there's not forget me about how early did Steel 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:39.440 come into the to the twenty twenty league. 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.840 It wasn't was one, no, but it was early. 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:44.439 It is great. How we can just look this stuff 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:45.640 up like right away, I know it. 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:47.240 Twenty twenty three. 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:50.079 Yeah, yeah, gotta love the technology side of it. And 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.000 that's the thing with Steel was I mean, I was 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:54.320 an outould be the first one to admit this. I 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:57.120 was not very high on Terrence Steel coming out Strike too. 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:00.840 I was not very high on Terrence Deal coming out. 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:01.400 Of Texas Tech. 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:03.760 I thought his lower body, his footwork wasn't there. 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:07.960 I thought he was a little off balanced up front. 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:10.280 He had seventy two snaps. 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:13.240 In week one, by the way, twenty twenty so yeah, 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:16.640 I mean he he played the offensive snaps. 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:19.200 I'm so fascinated by that the whole Like, how do 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.320 these guys go from Like Okay, so you watched a 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.160 lot of them at Texas Tech way more than I did, 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:25.840 did not, and you have that that takeaway and obviously 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:29.040 he went undrafted, so others had that same takeaway. So 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.040 what gets a guy to go from that to being 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:31.800 what he is now? 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:32.920 Is it just work ethic? 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:34.719 Is it just that you know, he gets the right 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:36.400 teachers around him, Like what is the what? 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:37.000 What? 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:37.160 What? 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:38.440 How does a guy do that? 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:40.440 Yeah, it's definitely a combination. 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:43.480 I mean, you you could take the same player take 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.760 him out of that, out of one particular environment and 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:49.480 put him in another, and the coaching staff can be different. Right, 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:51.320 So the coaches and the influence he has in that 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:55.160 room to teaching every day. Also the system, the system 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:58.320 could benefit him more because they do one style that 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:00.200 fits his you know, his strengths more than and his 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:03.120 weaknesses did it his previous location. So there's a lot 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:04.880 of things that in confidence, I don't care. I mean, 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.079 I bring it up all the time, and everybody just assumes, 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.319 because you're a professional athlete that everybody's walking around with 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.600 all this confidence. It's not the truth. It's just not 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:13.760 the reality. It's not the reality of the situation. Every 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:17.160 guy has their struggles, every guy has their doubts. You 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:19.560 have competition out the wazoo. You have people that are 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:21.920 always telling you what you're not doing right. You don't 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:23.280 really get a pat on the back for a lot 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.200 of the things that you're supposed to do or things 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:27.000 that are expected of you. You don't get pats in 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:28.920 the back for that. And most people look forward to 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:31.360 those things. They like they get gratification from being told, 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:33.560 you know, you did a good job, and that especially 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:35.640 specifically at the office in line position. You really don't 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.160 get that. You know, you get your you get your grades. 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:39.880 And I don't know if everybody knows that after every 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:43.160 game you get a you get a multiple sheets of 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.280 paper and it has every play. Right, say you have 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:48.160 seventy snaps in a game, Okay, every single play you 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:51.360 have is graded. And if you're an office alignment and 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:53.760 you grade out at eighty percent, right, most people at 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:55.079 their job, if they're hitting it out of the park 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:57.840 eighty percent at the time, they're probably getting raises eighty percent. 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:01.960 In football, you're probably getting fired at most positions. At 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:06.520 most positions, eighty percent effectiveness is not enough. So it's 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:09.439 a high strenuous job. So you're always doubting yourself in 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:12.040 every aspect. There's always there's always something that you're you're 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:14.880 nitpicking at Kyle. You know, Kyle gets on me. Yesterday, 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:16.559 I felt like I had a bad, terrible day in 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:18.400 the studio. You know, I probably had a I had 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:20.920 a handful of mess ups. But in my head, I sucked. 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:22.640 You know what I'm saying. In my head, I sucked 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.560 because I'm like, that's unacceptable, that that level of execution 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.600 is not acceptable to me, Because like I expect myself 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:30.560 to be at this level, so that carries on in 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:31.520 all aspects of your life. 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:32.880 But that is the game of football. 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.000 Can you finish the sentence? You said, Kyle got on 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:36.840 to me, but you didn't. You didn't finish because. 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:37.880 Well you got you got on my head. Yeah, you 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.240 got on my head about like not being hard on myself. 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:45.840 I want I want to go home to realize, just 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:47.600 k Kyle. 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:51.720 Bank to your playing days. 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:56.480 Did you ever uh just completely disagree with your grades 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.280 and like you ain't got angry at the greater? 0:13:59.000 --> 0:13:59.160 Oh? 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:02.280 Yeah you have questions. Yeah, you definitely have questions. You 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:04.560 feel like you might have executed something to a certain level. 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.079 There's a lot we can go into some real deep conversations. 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.920 We'll keep your relatively shallow today, but yeah. 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:10.640 With your chest. 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:14.840 Yeah, I mean some some businesses you have a say 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:18.360 in the grades that you're giving. Some businesses you can 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:21.920 actually clap back a little bit on what you feel is. 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:24.080 Right versus what is wrong. This is not one of 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:24.720 those industries. 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:27.760 Yeah, going back to the original point on Terrence Steele, 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:29.600 I think the biggest thing and he talks about it 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:32.400 a lot. Even today's having Zach Martin next to him 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:35.240 at right guard and not you know, casing from leveland 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:39.640 at Texas Tech. So that does a significant difference, can 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:40.800 allow him to really focus in. 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:44.680 I brought up my scouting report on Terrence Steele from 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.840 twenty twenty, and I said, Steel is an undeniable upper 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:49.720 body strength that is ready for the NFL level, but 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:51.960 its lower half just doesn't seem to keep up enough 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:53.800 at the moment to make him a piece of the puzzle. 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:56.480 It'll be interesting to see what sort of approach that 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:59.120 offensive line coach at the time, Jim tom Sula, will 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:03.000 take when looking to improve his foundation. While the change 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.800 of direction and agility needed uptick, a simple change in 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.600 footwork could be enough to make a considerable difference in 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:12.120 an organization that has had some added tackle depth this 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:14.480 offseason with the signing of Cameron Irving. 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:16.280 It'll be a solid it would. 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:19.040 It will take a solid summer for Steel to make 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:20.280 the as active ross. 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.200 Who was you, said Tim Schuell, He was the defensive 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:23.720 plank coach. Who was their offensive plank coach? 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:25.640 I think it was. 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:29.560 It was the same, it was it was still see 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:31.440 I can picture his face right now. It came from 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:31.920 the Packers. 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.320 He Oh my god, it is blanking. I know it wasn't. 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:34.920 Jim Tom Sue. 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:36.480 I think I've had a typo in that back in 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:38.080 twenty twenty on my guy Darned Kyle. 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:41.240 The fact that you type that up for every player, absolutely, yeah, 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:42.120 that is wild. 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.120 But that that was actually that was only the summer, 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:46.120 and I've also got details on the This. 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:49.840 Is why I don't right, because yeah, he's cool. Yeah, 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:51.120 he played nice exactly. 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:53.800 So do you feel more confident in TJ Bass right 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:55.480 now than when you wrote that kind of yes, sir. 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:57.520 Actually I do. I do too. Yeah, I had a 0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:59.000 fifth round grade on TJ. Bass. 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:03.160 I really liked Bass, and I feel far more comfortable 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:06.360 with him stepping into the fold in week one in 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:10.200 a Terrence Steele esque situation at guard than I did 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:12.680 it Terrence Steele at right tackle going up against the 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:14.880
