1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: All right, is now time for the head coach of

2
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: America's team. It's the Mike McCarthy Show, brought to you

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 1: by four Bill for Texas, built for you every Friday

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: at this time with Sean and RJ. And it was

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: a birthday week for a coach McCarthy. He's a fellow

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: scorpio like me, RJ. What does that mean to you?

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: With the traits of a scorpio, I believe in these things.

8
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I couldn't tell you the name

9
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: of any sign or what I know the name of

10
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: the signs. I don't know the dates of any sign

11
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: other than Scorpios supposed to be intense, full of passion, clever,

12
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: can't be fooled so easily mysterious and secretive in our

13
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: ways trust issues. Could be highly suspicious of everything, and we,

14
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: you know, maybe lose our temper and it can get

15
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: a little bit out. I don't know about this can't

16
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: be fooled thing. Yeah, I worked with your dumb ass

17
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: for ten years. I fooled the hell out of you.

18
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: Good morning, coach, how are you? Good morning? Fellow scruping

19
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: more coach? Any of those traits apply to you? Do

20
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: you think do you believe in that stuff at all?

21
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: The horoscope so the accuracy of what you're supposed to

22
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: be personality wise, No, I do believe. Um, I believe

23
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: in the energy of the universe. Universe, and yeah, I

24
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: think I can definitely relate to some of those characteristics. Now,

25
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: when people, your friends look at you as more of

26
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: a laid back, chill guy or a highly intense, you know,

27
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: passionate person um, I would I would say probably intense

28
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: and passionate. Um. I think it's just I think a

29
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: lot of things too. It depends on what company you keep.

30
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: I think over the years, Um, you look at your

31
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: longtime relationships, probably more laid back. I think that's more

32
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: in the comfort of family and friends. Yeah, and kids

33
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: are supposed to mellow you, but I don't know if

34
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: I've been mellowed at all. Still, can you haven can

35
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: snap a little bit with the temper coach? Obviously the

36
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: big news recently Randy Gregory with the calf issue. Uh,

37
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: where are you looking to turn with the pass rush

38
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: here over these next three weeks, Frank, we're just you know,

39
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: taking a you know, next man up approach and uh,

40
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: you know, well, you know, I just think the timing

41
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: of Randy's injury. You know, we really didn't want to

42
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: change a whole lot. You know, we wanted to We

43
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: wanted to stay as true to our plan as we

44
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: possibly could. Uh. So, you know, we got some young

45
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: guys that are doing some good things, and we'll just

46
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: have a healthy rotation. Dawns is back. You know, obviously

47
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: Mica has been working there some too, So we're just

48
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: gonna go with it, just a little bit of a

49
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: little different rotation based on playtime numbers. Uh, do you

50
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: see a scenario for when he excels at the position,

51
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: because he does because his a lead at it, that

52
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: Micah maybe more permanently at defensive end. That's that's my wish.

53
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 1: That's my Santa, you know, Santah McCarthy, that'd be my wish,

54
00:02:55,160 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: were you really Um, yeah, I think, you know, I

55
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: think Mike is unique in the fact that he can

56
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: play the open end, and you know, he's such an

57
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: impact player at the you know, at the linebacker position.

58
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: So uh, you know, I don't really want to get

59
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: away from lighting him up at this in one spot.

60
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: I think his versatility is a is a true asset

61
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: to our defense, and I think it, you know, and

62
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: it gives him a chance to continue to grow and

63
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: be super productive. Do you think he's better served rushing

64
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: from the edge or from the from like from the

65
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: middle of the line of the a gap. I think

66
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: it's um I think that the focus really for me

67
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: is the fact that he can do them both at

68
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: a high level. So I think you need to utilize that.

69
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: I just I've had experience in my past with Clay

70
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: Matthews that was exclusively an outside linebacker rusher, and then

71
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: we got into an injury situation and you know, put

72
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: him in the you know, he played the mic linebacker

73
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: for I think of almost a year and a half,

74
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: and I thought his production was so much more from

75
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: the dole you know, role going back and forth, because

76
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: you know, it creates a targeting issue for the offense,

77
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: and you know, they always got to be aware where

78
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: Mike is going to be located. So I think just

79
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: taking advantage of his ability to do both as to

80
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: it's the focus, all right, coach. My dumb question of

81
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: the week has to do with these calf injuries. Uh,

82
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: do you have you found throughout your career that like

83
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: a certain type of injury creeps up or this year

84
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: or that year. Uh. And and do you pay any

85
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: attention to that, like why are calf injuries happening or

86
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: whether it's something else in another year where you've been

87
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: coaching a rash of injuries like this, Does it become

88
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: a trend for some reason? It can be. I think

89
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: it's very important to watch the patterns. Uh. You know,

90
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: more more specifically, you have to look at the injury

91
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: and look at all the things that led up to

92
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: the injury. Um, you know, you know where the injury happened,

93
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: as far as the movement pattern, you know what the

94
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: athlete was doing at that particular time. So I think

95
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: it to look at all though you know all the

96
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: characteristics and and make a sound decision. But yeah, when

97
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: you when you do put them on a list and

98
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: you get a bunch of calf injuries, you know, in

99
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: a row. It I have seen that happen before. Just

100
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: you know, I think the trainers would would talk to

101
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: you about there's sometimes to be an injury of the

102
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: year just but you know, I think these are trends

103
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: that you have to pay attention to. But you really

104
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: have to break him down individually, so you don't you

105
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: stay on top of what because it really helps you

106
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: in the in the rehab part of it too. So yeah,

107
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: we've had a couple of caps situations, but I can't

108
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: really sit here and tell you that once been you know,

109
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: directly related to another. How are you feeling about Tiring's

110
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: status for Sunday? I'm sorry, how are you feeling about

111
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: Tirings status for Sunday? I'll say this, he did a

112
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: lot more in the rehab yesterday. Uh component did? He

113
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: did did some field work, so we'll see where he

114
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: is today. I mean if he doesn't practice, uh, that

115
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: he will not be available for something. Coach, you gave

116
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: us a very interesting analogy that came true for Terrence

117
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: Steele switching from right to left tackle. What was your

118
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: evaluation of Steel in the game that he had? And uh,

119
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: you know, how much more help may you have to

120
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: give him if if he struggles like he did on

121
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: Sunday At times, I just think you you know, another

122
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: week of work over there will help him. I mean,

123
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: you know, the biggest challenges that he had was in

124
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: the past protection, which you know, there's no surprise, you know,

125
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: that's part of the hardest part of making that switch

126
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: from right tackle to left tackle. So you know, I'm

127
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: confident that with another week of work over there that

128
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: you know, he'll definitely be more. He'll he'll play I'll

129
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: play better this week. Coach, it looks like Michael Gallup

130
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: is going to return. Just give us a refresher on

131
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: his skill set and the things that Michael can do

132
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: out there on the field and add to your already

133
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,679
Speaker 1: potent offense. You know, Michael has you know, excellent vertical

134
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: vertical pushing this route. It's very disciplined. Um. You know,

135
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: he's he's probably our best contest to catch receiver. So

136
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: you just see the juice that he's that he brings

137
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. I thought he had a nice

138
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: week last week, and it definitely looks to be at

139
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: one hundred percent this week. But you know, Michael's you know,

140
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: he gets the ball in his hands. You know, his

141
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: numbers speak for himself. But you know, I really, I

142
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: really love the discipline of you know, how he plays,

143
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: and he's very quarterback friendly. Mike McCarthy Jonas here one

144
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: oh five through the Fan. A couple of players had

145
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: said over the last two weeks that there was you know,

146
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: some some some bad practice days that they had as players.

147
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: How is a coach do you kind of overcome that?

148
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: Is that something that just you know you're going to

149
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: deal with basically every year anyway? It's human nature. Oh,

150
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: not at all, I think, you know. I think the

151
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: biggest thing is, you know, that's that's a big part

152
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: of you know, how you regulate your practice structures. You know,

153
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: it's something I'm very open with them, you know specifically

154
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: what we're looking for. It's just the little things like

155
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: pace operation, you know, the tempo because there's a there's

156
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: a conditioning component every time you line up on the field.

157
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't categorize them as bad practices. They just

158
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: weren't to the level of the standard that we had

159
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: said probably weeks three, three through five. So, um you know,

160
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: there's the statistical information that goes with that. There's obviously

161
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: the video correction that goes with that. But you know,

162
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: it's just just like anything, you create a standard of

163
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: how you train, and you know, it just hasn't quite

164
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: been to the standard that we had three three through five.

165
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: And I think you know some of that too is

166
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: your you got personnel changes and other guys coming in

167
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: there too, So um, so far so good. You know,

168
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: I thought that are probably one of our better Thursday

169
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: practices yesterday. So the most important thing is that guys

170
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: are on top of it. They're focusing on it and

171
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: just you know, working to keep the standard above the standard.

172
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: Do you believe in in in the maybe a little

173
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: theory of good losses? You know, he told us he didn't.

174
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: He smacked me for the bad practice bad practice theory.

175
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: Do you believe in good losses? I do not. I

176
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: think you can win enough play is good and get

177
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: the same thing out of my personal experience. But it's

178
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: about winning and and and that's something that maybe cliche,

179
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: but it's you got to just make sure everything you

180
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: do is about winning. And at the end of the day,

181
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: you got to find ways to win on Sunday, I mean,

182
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: it's this NFL season is so long, you know, longer

183
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: than ever this year as we know, what the seventeenth game,

184
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: and you know at the end of it, you've got

185
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: to have as many wins as possible. So you're going

186
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: to have you know, trials and tribulations, you know, injuries

187
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: and ups and downs and the ball doesn't bounce your

188
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: way and all those things that that's that's the beauty

189
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: of this game. So if you have a you know,

190
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: if you have a strict, true evaluation and the correction process,

191
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: win and play bad. Is would be my preference. Coach

192
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: Dak said he didn't like his footwork against Denver. He

193
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: wasn't driving on his throws or sitting back, uh, sitting

194
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: on his back leg? Is that is that a natural

195
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 1: hangover from the taff issue he was dealing with him?

196
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: Was that a reason to kind of leave him out

197
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: there at the end of that game in a blowout

198
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: to get him back in rhythm and trust himself more.

199
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it could be, you know, I think, you know,

200
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: just visiting with Dak last night and talking about you know,

201
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: the week's work and in just the emphasis of getting

202
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: back to doing all the quarterback school drills. You know,

203
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: he was not at one hundred percent as far it's

204
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: what we let him do, you know last week against Never,

205
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: So you know, and just the you know, that's just

206
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: the way he's he's wired and focus, he knows he

207
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: needs it. So he's feeling great this week. And just

208
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: the fact that you know he's able to take the

209
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: full the full load of the footwork drills and so forth. So,

210
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,119
Speaker 1: but I just think you're it's an example of him

211
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: and just you know how how how important it is

212
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: and Ali Tuny is with his training and his fundamentals.

213
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, you join us here on the fan. Matt Ryan,

214
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: he uh, what does he have left? You think from

215
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: what you've evaluated from him on tape, we forget about

216
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 1: him because the team hasn't been that competitive over the

217
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: last couple years of a playoffs standpoint, What does he

218
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: have left? Well, you can see his experience and ball placement,

219
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: you know, the his instincts and awareness are very high.

220
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: Obviously he's played a lot of football. You can see

221
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: he's now comfortable in his new offense and he's been

222
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: through a number of offenses in his time in Atlantis. So, um,

223
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: you know he's going to have really good command of

224
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: other offense. And you know you're not gonna form a

225
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: whole lot um you know, defensively, you know, as far

226
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: as scheme, but um, you know it's still throws a

227
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: ball very effectively. And you know he's got some He's

228
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: got some really good weapons and I'm going to press

229
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: with their offense. One of those weapons is Kyle Pitts.

230
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: How have you evaluated him on table? What does he

231
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: look like? Just the same way we look when we

232
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: come out of Florida. I mean, he's super talented young man.

233
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: You know they're doing a good job of getting getting

234
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: the football. You can see him really really shows up

235
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: the situational work. But you know we're he's you have

236
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: to treat him like a receiver. He doesn't play in

237
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 1: line a whole lot, So definitely a matchup focus for us.

238
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy here on your Home of America's team one

239
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: oh five three the Fan with Seawan and RJ. It's

240
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys Falcons nine am pre game kickoff at noon. Your

241
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: first reaction, what you said or what you thought when

242
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: you heard that the Rams every week we have you

243
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: on the Rams are adding someone else this time Odell Beckham.

244
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: How do you view that coach as another team you're

245
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: going up against at the top of the NFC. Well,

246
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: I have great respect for Odell, just love the way

247
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: he plays. You know, just had a chance to, you know,

248
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: compete against in both in New York and Cleveland. So

249
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: I think it's a excellent addition for the Rams. I mean,

250
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: you got to give them credit you know, and I think,

251
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: like anything this league, you just keep looking at all

252
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: the scenarios and um, you know obviously about it. Two

253
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: outstanding football players the last two weeks. So it's all

254
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: part of the challenge of the NFL. Last one on

255
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: Sunday there was a very famous person on the sidelines

256
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: for the salute to service. The Undertaker also joined our show.

257
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: Did you know who the Undertaker was? And at any

258
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,839
Speaker 1: point in your life have you been a wrestling fan? Um,

259
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: definitely do who the Undertaker was? Absolutely? Uh in. You know,

260
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: my wrestling days go back to yea the seventies, you know, Bruno,

261
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: Sam Martino and jumping Johnny de Fazio, Georgia Animal Steel.

262
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 1: So um, that's that was probably one the peak of

263
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 1: my wrestling interest. Did you ever try to write a

264
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: turn buckle? No, the green tongue of the turnbuckle, now,

265
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: that was it was unique expressing back in those days. Coach,

266
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: Thank you again for the time. Happy birthday, fellow Scorpio.

267
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: Best of luck on Sunday against Atlanta. Oh, thank you gentlemen.

268
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: Have a good weekend.
