Yeah, oh man, all right, 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:06.040 let's go. It's been it's been a week since we talk. 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:09.960 I feel like this is becoming the new normal. I 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:12.400 think everybody you know, I've talked to a lot of 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:18.320 different people through webexes and things like that, UM conference calls, 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.880 and it feels like everybody's kind of starting to settle 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:25.040 in is this is kind of the new normal. So Nate, 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:28.320 are you are you getting adjusted to to this being 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:30.280 the new normal? For it? Sounds like what's going to 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:34.440 be the next several weeks. Well, Shannon, I'm glad you 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:36.720 act said because and I'm quite sure with all you guys, 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:40.400 we do my Sunday school classes by by via this 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:44.160 way we do my church like we don't our Sunday 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.760 school classes basically like this what we're doing here, But 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:51.640 my church, we just we all tune inside pastor and uh. 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:53.840 Then I have a few friends that when they want 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:55.480 to wrap at me, you know, I know about face 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:59.760 facetiming now and so, which I don't mind doing. But 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.480 all know me, I'm a personal guy. When y'all text 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:05.200 me a lot of times, you know, I'll go one 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.560 text and then I'm calling. I like to I like 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.600 to feel like I'm touching the person, you know. But 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:15.880 I'll adapt to whatever way. Man. Because the stories we 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:19.120 had before we got on this deal with certain family 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:21.640 members and stuff like this, Man, I want to do 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:25.080 my part even more now to make sure that everybody 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:28.880 else has a chance to survive. Yeah, Kurt, what have 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:31.359 I know You've been really busy with the book, so 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:33.919 I don't know if you've gotten to breathe much the 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.640 last week or so, But are you are you settling 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.480 into this kind of being the new you know, every 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.720 day for you. Yeah, it's it's kind of we were 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:44.960 talking a little bit earlier Matt and I about how 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:48.159 the weekend was, and there ain't much difference now between 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.080 the weekend and the and the work week. You know, 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:52.560 it's kind of all running together. But yeah, I we're 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:57.160 getting used to it. We're you know, trying to trying 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.320 to get out, trying to stay or you know, walks 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:01.480 and things like that, trying to stay active in the 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:03.400 house a little bit and get some fresh air. But 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:06.839 I wouldn't say we're totally adjusted. I'd love to be 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.960 back seeing you guys in person, but you know, it 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:13.080 is what it is. We'll make the best of it. Yeah, Jesse, 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.360 I know you're probably still sore from doing all your 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.920 push ups, But what do you h are you doing 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.520 these days to to I guess kind of stay in 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.720 shape or are you able to get any workouts in? 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.279 Are you able to get outside? And are you kind 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:30.880 of settling into this be the new norm. I hate it. 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:34.960 I hate every bit of it. Um one. I hate here. 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:37.760 Here's what I really hate it. I hate being told 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.320 what to do, like you gotta stay in the household, 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:43.320 you gotta do. I ain't being told what to do. 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:45.440 I like to go and and and and when I 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.440 you know, to come and go as I please. But 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.800 I've been able to you know, hit workouts in and 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:55.160 just you know, relaxing, uh, just chill. But this, this, 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.680 this isn't me like I'm I'm I'm a busy good 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.720 like I'm always on wing, whether it's with you guys, 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:05.039 or at the school or speaking engagement or training guys. 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:08.040 I'm always on the go, always moving. So for me 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:11.880 to kind of be sitting uh, you know, isolated and 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:17.000 and and to me, this this is we I have 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:20.719 to adapt to it. I have to accept it. But 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:23.280 I'll shore man, I'll be so glad when this thing 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:25.680 is over with. You don't have to like it, right, 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:27.800 you have to do it, but you don't have to 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:32.080 enjoy doing it. I don't. I don't. I don't shout 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:35.400 out to uh wing stop. They were they were going 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:37.839 to deliver us wings this morning and we were going 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:44.839 to eat them over. We had some logistical issues. You 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:48.159 can all blame it on me, um, but we were 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:50.839 we were not able to get the wings delivered this morning. 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:53.280 So hopefully we figure something out next week. They are 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.600 still the sponsor of our show. We still love them 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:59.400 very much, and we will at some point have wings 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:03.359 together remotely. They told us they told me about you 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:08.520 a long time ago, and he'll over promise and hundred 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:14.200 delivered every time. I'll tell you, guys, I'll tell you 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:18.480 what you asked. You asked any of those other shows 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:22.720 how much free swag they get, And I guarantee you 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:26.760 we get ten times more than any of those other shows. 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:30.720 So that's true. I do fall short sometimes, but it's 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.640 not from lack of effort. It's it's usually things outside 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:36.800 of my control. Like but all those other shows one 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.600 hundred percent work for the cowboys, so they can probably 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:41.560 walk down and get a lot of the swag themselves. 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:43.840 We are kind of a mixed bad group right here. 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:45.920 We're all we're all over the place. We all have 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:49.480 a common interest in the common employment for the cowboys, 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.520 but we're not all one hundred percent employed by the 0:07:52.520 --> 0:08:04.840 cowboy like those other shows. No, all right, let's get 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:07.760 let's get into a little bit of football, and I'm sure, 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:12.240 I'm sure by the last segment we will this thing 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.600 will fall completely off the rails like it usually does, 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:16.280 but we'll try to hold it on the rails for 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:19.560 the first couple of seconds. You never said, you're all 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:24.320 I'm doing great. Yeah, I'm doing great, man. I'm living 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:30.360 sure new place, getting I'm getting settled into your No, 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.880 I've been telling everybody like, hey, if we can, if 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:38.480 we can make it through this the first time living 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:42.199 with each other and being around each other twenty four seven, 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.800 And you can't leave, You can't get mad and go 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:47.600 go down to the bar and have a drink. Like 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:49.720 you get mad, you go to the fridge and you 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:51.360 get a beer and you sit on the couch next 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:53.760 to the person you're bad, So like you can't get away. 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:56.800 So we can get through this, like we we can 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.280 get through anything. But now it's been good. We it 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.520 actually came in a great time, you know, with us 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.920 moving able to unpack boxes and um kind of get 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.040 the apartment in order, and then it gives us time 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:10.959 to go get outside and take walks and do things 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.760 that we probably normally wouldn't do. And really just honestly, 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:15.920 I mean we've we've been together over a year, but 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:19.480 just honestly getting to getting to know each other and 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:24.160 spend time together, and it's it's it's been, you know, 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.920 I hate that it's happening. I'm like Jesse, I'm always 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.280 on the go, Like I cannot stand to sit at 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:32.600 the house. But I've found other things to keep me 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.760 occupied that I normally wouldn't do, you know, like just 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.679 doing different things that I would normally i'd be playing 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.760 video games. I've been trying to take the time that 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.400 I have instead of doing it on something and wasting 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:46.839 like on a video game or something like that, trying 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:50.920 to find something constructive and creative to do. So it's 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:55.000 and honestly, I am busier with work now than I 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.640 have been since a season ended. So I've been on 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:03.160 conference calls and video calls like non stop with the bunch. 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:06.200 Everybody's got different initiatives going on around the company right now, 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.480 just trying to figure out a different way to deliver 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:10.760 content to our fans and do some things that are 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.400 out of the box. So it's been it's been super busy, 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:15.760 but it's been good. It's been really good. All right. 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.520 So now all the football. So this was a male 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:22.160 bad question that Kurt sent me. M Have the Cowboys 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.080 done enough in free agency? Are you know? They're still 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:29.880 concerns at cornerback, defensive line, safety, slot receiver. Are are 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:33.079 they set up to have a productive draft and just 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:38.000 go after I guess best available no matter what position? 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:41.320 Do you guys? Start with you, Jesse, because you haven't 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:44.160 talked very much and we're already ten minutes into the show, 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:49.360 so you're probably ready to roll or what do you think? 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:53.680 Have they done enough in free agency? Um? No they haven't. 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:58.000 But here's the thing I want us to be cautious about, 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.559 like we always want to go after then we always 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:03.760 wanted to go you know after the the record out 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:05.480 of any that we know across the league, here's what 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:09.480 I will said. They've done. They set themselves up for 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:14.160 the draft not having to go in and be so 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.280 they're not. They didn't handicaps something going onto the draft. 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:19.280 In years past they had to go on and get 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.559 you know, a certain guy. That guy wasn't there. Their 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:25.320 whole draft was busted. They've given theirself enough cushion to 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.800 go onto the draft and say, hey, if this guy's 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.080 there at seventeen, that that guy's there at seventeen, we 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:33.599 could take either or and be Okay, We're not pigeonholed 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:35.560 to go in there and getting one guy or one 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:39.520 specific position in this year's draft. But I still think 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:43.120 they could addressed some war areas in free agency. But 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:46.640 I do believe what these uncertain times that we're in 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:48.800 has hindered what they've been able to do because they 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:52.120 haven't been able to do medicals, do interviews, just work 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.040 guys out this physically sit in front of a guy 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:59.160 and talk to him and see what he's about. They 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:03.880 made some questionable signing this offseason, but they could have 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:06.080 done a little bit more. They were kind of like 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.560 landing the weeds. But they set the ups up so 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:10.120 that they can go into the drive and doesn't they 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:13.120 don't have to be pigeonholed of getting one specific position. 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:21.120 I believe that not only an unknown with this virus, 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:25.560 but an unknown with the coaching staff. They may have 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:29.560 worked together all during the offseason, you know, taping games, uh, 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:34.200 doing uh little setups for games as though they were 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:37.600 still active coaching. But until we know who they are, 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:40.680 until they know who they are with the players that 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:46.040 they've gotten in this limited market, I'm just gonna kind 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.560 of hold be neutral right here. I'm not gonna ride 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:50.960 the fence because I think we should have been set 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:54.240 up better coming out of last year than we are now. 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.640 We let a lot of guys get free over the 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:59.360 last few years who we should have been talking to 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.560 and trying to keep in the house, but we didn't. 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:04.880 So right about now, I'm just gonna wait and see 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:08.160 how this new coaches staff I'm talking about this defensive 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:11.319 coaches staff are owned with the special team coaches staff. 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:13.160 I wanted to just see how they put things together, 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:17.320 because brothers, y'all know, we just piecemeal right now, That's 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:19.800 all it is. We went out and got Poled, we 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:23.240 went out and got McCoy. We signed to some dbs, 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:26.720 but the dbs are more special team guys than actual 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:33.079 cover guys. So I'm in the middle right now. Kurt, Yeah, 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:35.520 I think that. I mean, it depends on how you 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:38.480 look at it. And really their free agency is signing 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.480 their own guys. I mean, they spent big money on Murray. 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:45.080 Look at last year with DeMarcus, with Zeke. I mean 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:48.080 that's their focus. You know, they haven't signed that I 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.640 can remember. They haven't signed a big free agent deal 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:54.080 since Brandon Carr and that was what six seven years 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:57.440 ago something like that, So it's just not their bill. Yeah, 0:13:57.520 --> 0:13:59.559 it's not their priority anymore. They want to sign the 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:03.360 big car directs to their own people, and I guess 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.800 that's working out. I mean, you're glad you got Lawrence. 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:10.520 I think Zeke long term, you hope works out. Same 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:12.439 with the Mario. I mean, there's question marks with all 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:14.719 of them, but I don't know if we're going to 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:18.040 see a big name come in here anymore. So they're 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:20.480 kind of signing guys for depth, kind of filling in 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:23.560 holes and with you know, one year deals with like 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:28.600 McCoy or I mean, polding some of these guys. Is 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:30.160 it the right way to go. I don't know, but 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.160 I do think that they are set up at least 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:35.400 where they can draft the best player available in that 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:39.800 first round and overall that can they make a big 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:42.160 difference change the whole scene in one draft. I don't 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:44.080 know if they can, but that's kind of the round 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:48.080 that been going. The thing is, y'all men, I agree 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:52.440 with it, but it points his way. Everybody has identity, 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.359 and I'm not saying that Cowboys have a lockdown identity, 0:14:56.480 --> 0:15:00.520 but we know from the last five years all about 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:04.960 our offense. It's all about our offense, and they're still 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:08.320 trying to glue together the defense they're gonna try it from. 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:10.240 But they're gonna they're gonna have a high bred three 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:12.400 four or four three defense with a lot of the 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:16.520 nickel packages in most of the time. But until we 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:19.680 get some solid pieces on defense that you can count 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:23.640 on besides d Law, you know, this is how it's 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:25.840 gonna look. This is how it's gonna look. I mean, 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:28.720 we went through it last hit the year before, and 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:31.440 it's been it's been about like our winning and losing. 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:35.600 It's been every other every other year of success or 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:38.680 none success. So as you go out and would you 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:41.040 spend big money on a you know, clown ear or 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:45.480 Tremaine Johnson or no, no, no, I'm not saying that 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:49.320 this method can't work because Kansas City does this with 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:54.920 their defense. Uh, the Ravens up until they drafted that 0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:58.760 quarterback that they have, they basically did that with their offense. 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:03.320 So teams have specific identities and what they believe in 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:05.200 and where they spend their money. And I'm not saying 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.200 that's wrong, But when do we get successful at that? 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:11.880 I mean, Jesse, I mean, how do you feel about that? 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:13.440 I mean, because I know you you you a big 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:18.520 power offensive guy. Yeah you say five years, I go 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:21.480 fifty years. I mean even back when you were playing, 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:25.000 this thing was always about offense. You know you you that, Yes, 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:34.080 I can't hear you, Jesse, So no, I was saying that, 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.040 you know, this thing has always been about offense for 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.000 the Cowboys, that all the big names and the big 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.840 money has always been spent on offense. And so when 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:42.560 you see a guy like Zeke gets signed, and you 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:46.160 see a guy like uh um Amori gets signed, those things, 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:51.120 to me, are are are basically what they who they are. 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:53.960 They they've they've always been one that's going to sign 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:56.320 the you know, the big names from their teams. They 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:57.920 want to they want to have the jersey sales, they 0:16:57.960 --> 0:16:59.880 want to have uh to be able to play on 0:16:59.880 --> 0:17:02.040 a big time Sunday and Monday night football games, you 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:04.040 need the names to go and do those type of things. 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:09.520 But defensively, the thing what this team is is I 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:11.760 just truly believe the way that the NFL is going 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:17.240 the whole having these you know Ravens or eighty five 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:22.040 bear defenses, those things are long gone. It's all about now, 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:24.080 how you can go and get thirty thirty five plus 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:26.520 points a game. Please don't argue me with that. We 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:28.920 don't have to score thirty plus points a game. I've 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:30.879 argued with the guy right that for a year about that, 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:32.640 and that came to be true. We're not gonna argue 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:34.840 about you gotta score thirty plus points a game to 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:39.560 be a contender in this league. Um, you just need you. 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:42.920 Here's what you need for your defense. You need your defense, 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.520 and that you always kind of go back to this 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:48.800 kind of like Kansas City. Um, I just need you 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:51.520 to be good enough to get a stop or two 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:55.240 when necessary. I don't I don't need world beaters. I 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:57.840 don't I don't need the eighty five Bears. I just 0:17:57.920 --> 0:17:59.919 need you to go out there and get when when 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:04.119 it's when it's you know, thirty five thirty, I need 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:05.880 you to get a stop. It's in the fourth quarter, 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:08.359 we're up thirty five thirty. Here's why I need you 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:10.480 to get a stop. I don't need you to hold 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:13.720 a team to fourteen points anymore because we can only 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:17.200 score seventeen. No, we're gonna score thirty plus points a game. 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:21.040 I just need you in those critical moments before the half, 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:23.280 at the end of ball games, when I need you 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:25.680 to make a play defense. That's when I need a 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:29.160 sack or pass breakup or something that happened or turnover. 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:32.200 I need something to happen for the defense I don't need. 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:34.200 I don't need the eighty five Bears. I don't need 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:36.840 the two thousand Ravens. I just need a defense good 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:40.440 enough that when we're getting those crucial moments that you're 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:42.840 not gonna give up the third down on thirty nine, 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:44.920 that you're not gonna let the ball get behind you, 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:47.440 you know, get behind your head on third and long. 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:49.919 I need you when when we're when we're putting that 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:52.520 pressure on to get home, get the sack, don't miss 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:54.720 the sack. Or when that intercept it hits your hands, 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:57.760 catch it, don't drop it, turn your head, deflect it. 0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:00.800 That's all I need because I have an offense that's 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:04.240 built to score thirty plus points a game. And if 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:06.480 they can do that and you can just get us 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:08.760 be our biggest problem. We just couldn't get. Stop's gonna 0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:10.560 stop from needed. And it's been that way for a 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:14.400 couple of years. Now. Have they done enough in this 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:18.000 free agency to be able to take the U the 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:21.399 best available player in the draft or is or is 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:25.840 that or do they still need to go defense. I 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:27.960 feel like they're gonna say I have to go defense 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:30.920 because that theory that Jared's Jess talking about, That's what 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:34.040 I've been preaching. But right before the half, can you 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:36.640 get a play right right at the end of the game, 0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:40.960 can you make a play? Uh, we don't have that playmaker. 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:44.440 We beside the Marcus Lawrence, we don't have that guy 0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:48.439 that we know that can possibly make that play. And 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:52.320 so you know, I've been seeing where they they've been 0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:55.080 talking about this kid. I'm in Oklahoma, a lot a 0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:57.440 lot of guys saying he gonna fall to us if 0:19:57.440 --> 0:19:59.800 they get the guy. I'm not gonna be mad, but 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:04.200 that puts even more pressure on our defense. I think 0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:07.480 to um to make them plays, it's gonna come. What 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:10.560 what you think, Jesse about three or four plays a 0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:14.160 half that you can count on for your defense. Oh boy, 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:17.760 that's a nice play. It's just possible game changing. So 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:20.560 you still have to get somebody to cover somebody. I 0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:22.200 don't care what you do, you're gonna have to steal 0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:29.440 cover somebody. In cornerbacks at a premium, Uh not so much. 0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:34.159 Safeties of high bred linebackers and safeties. I had, I 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:36.879 had a premium in this draft. I mean, if you 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:39.280 can get one, you you're going in the right direction. 0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:44.920 It's gonna be interesting to see if they I think 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:47.959 that they can do best available on defense. I mean 0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:49.680 they're set up for that because they got so many 0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:52.960 holes they need to feel. But I think you're were 0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:56.399 you're talking about the wide receiver in Oklahoma, Lamb. I 0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:59.600 think was that who you were talking about? They just 0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:04.040 surely you surely they wouldn't go for a receiver in 0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:07.320 the first round, would they? And now I'm just saying 0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:11.200 those the national guys talking about food ass. But you know, 0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:14.320 if they come up with an offensive guy, I mean, 0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:21.679 would you be totally shocked? You know? So you know, 0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:25.400 let me don't ask you this, Nate. If you do that, 0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:29.399 if you can score thirty five thirty thirty five points 0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:33.200 a game, is that okay? If that's how you're you're building, 0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:35.640 if that's how you're gonna if that's how you're gonna win. 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:39.120 See one thing you gotta like about when you look 0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:42.800 at Kansas City as much as they throw the ball, 0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:45.800 as much as we talk about my homes every week, 0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:47.840 y'all heard me say Did you see how many yards 0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:51.080 this quarterback ran far? Did you see how they closed 0:21:51.119 --> 0:21:55.680 the game out with that running back? Running Backs are closers. 0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:59.800 Quarterbacks are everything A plus a closer. He like you 0:21:59.800 --> 0:22:02.720 tell Cy Young Award winner, they can do it all. 0:22:03.160 --> 0:22:07.359 They can pitch six seven, shoutout in it, or they 0:22:07.359 --> 0:22:09.960 can go to distance, go nine and close it out. 0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:12.879 That's what Mahomes is. He can run the ball. He 0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:15.639 ran the ball on the average and maybe fifty fifty 0:22:15.720 --> 0:22:19.439 yards a game. Just stay enough to keep everybody in 0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:22.720 their past lanes in them. Dak and then Dak is 0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:26.480 not this kid, but Dak has some of those traits. 0:22:26.960 --> 0:22:30.000 Dak used to be a closer. Last year things went 0:22:30.080 --> 0:22:33.960 a little haywire, and he wants that consistent closer that 0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:36.159 we look for. But if Dad can get back to 0:22:36.240 --> 0:22:39.720 his old winning ways or being calful with the ball 0:22:40.480 --> 0:22:42.520 as well as getting it down feel like he did 0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:45.480 this year, and just running a little more when allowed, 0:22:46.880 --> 0:22:49.080 maybe we'll have to do it thirty five points a game. 0:22:49.359 --> 0:22:51.680 I have no problem with that. All I want is wins. 0:22:52.480 --> 0:22:56.440 But your defense do have to play a part, all right, 0:22:56.640 --> 0:22:59.440 Let's get to our first break when we come back. 0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:04.480
