I can tell you 0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:20.919 this very confidently. All right, but just keep this under wraps. 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:21.800 Don't tell anybody. 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:23.360 This is just a Talking Cowboys secret. 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:27.080 We are playing the Philadelphia Eagles Week one, but we 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:29.720 do have another game against the Philadelphia Eagles, and then 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:35.520 we have two games against both the Commanders, Yeah, and 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:36.440 the New York Giants. 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:40.000 Talking Cowboys Insider, are they both. 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:40.400 Home and away? 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:42.880 They're splitting them one home? 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:47.039 There's okay, I have a Jos Jostradamus moment right now. Okay, 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:48.640 I'm a feeling that we're gonna play the Eagles three 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:49.200 times this year. 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:54.080 One would be the playoffs, one more in the playoffs. 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.760 That don't know, ball, just saying. 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:58.080 It's just a feeling, just to feel. 0:01:58.720 --> 0:01:59.320 I would love that. 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:00.240 I think it great. 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:02.400 The Cowboys go a fair and win. 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.880 All three Cowboys win victory. 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:09.160 One of them, two of them. Huh ah, three two 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:10.760 for three Cowboys. 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:15.079 That's realistic. That's realistic. Now, we've got plenty of notes 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.800 to get to and we'll talk more schedule release in 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:19.519 the second. In the third segment, we're actually in the 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:24.000 third segment, we're gonna rank the opponents one through seventeen, 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:27.760 but we're gonna do it in a blind so it's 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.760 just randomized. They're gonna come through as they come through, 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:33.360 and then we're gonna rank them from there. That point forward. 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.320 But just like we've talked about multiple times on this show, 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:40.280 all of the big time news happens after the show 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:41.040 comes to a club. 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:42.959 Oh yeah, you mean what happened last week? 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:48.320 It happened again? Why George Pickens is now a part 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:48.840 of the doubts. 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:50.480 How did you going to talk about the guy from 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.480 the south they called in? Okay, So George Pickens, Yeah. 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:57.360 That was right after we were talking about wide receiver too. Yeah, 0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:59.080 we were just talking about it, and I was a 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:03.120 costing Patrick no see Walker for guaranteeing me a wide 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:07.040 receiver the friday after the draft or no, the next 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:08.680 week after draft. Anyways, I was just like. 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:10.160 What you So, it wasn't It wasn't the guy that 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:14.680 I thought, right, because you guys know I was Hill. 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.520 You thought yeah, But I knew something was happening, right. 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:19.880 We all knew something was happening, right, because they obviously 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:20.800 didn't draft anybody. 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.359 They weren't going to sit there and not announce. 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.519 It was going to be a true, one big type 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:28.560 of situation, right. It was going to be a big splash. 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:29.919 It wasn't just going to be a guy that can 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.120 come in and fill some type of a role. You know, 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.320 it had to be a big time impact player, which 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:36.040 is why I was projecting that it was going to 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:39.320 be that particular individual. However, when you look at them statistically, 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:43.160 George Pickens actually fairs in a privacy similar sense, if 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.520 not a better sense, in terms of plus twenty yard plays. 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:47.720 He's going to be a one heck of a deep 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:50.080 threat for a team that is going to be a 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.560 heavy running team. You started talking about what their identity, 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:56.600 what they're trying to elicit as their identity going forward. 0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:58.880 They want to be a run first team. And by 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:01.360 being a run first team, you take the pressure off 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.880 of Dak, You take the pressure off of these receivers 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:06.640 for having to run forty plus routes a game, and 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:08.960 now you hopefully can cut that down to twenty five 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:11.520 twenty five routes a game. And now all of a sudden, 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:13.200 you have, out of those twenty five routes, you have 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:16.320 to distribute the ball between CD scoon Maker. You know 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:19.960 I'm saying Ferguson and obviously now are a new addition, 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:23.400 George Pickens. So that's the perfect situation for them. Run 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:26.119 the ball thirty five times, throw it twenty five times, 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.160 and that's kind of the makeup that they're trying to 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:28.719 get towards. 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.160 And the good part about wanting to have a heavy 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.479 emphasis on running the ball is it opens up for 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:35.560 those deep shots that you were Chickens is good at. 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:35.800 Now. 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:37.480 The question for me is that I was talking to 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:40.800 Kyle about this yesterday, is I mean, no quarterback really 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.719 is in terms of like tight window throws and down 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:47.279 the field ten fifteen twenty yards air yards. Dak Prescott 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:50.800 hasn't necessarily been the best in those types of situations. 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:51.640 It hasn't been as strong. 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.039 Suit that said, you know, when you look over the 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:55.840 course of his career, he really hasn't had a guy 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:58.800 I think who has the catch radius and athletic ability 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:00.919 that George Pickens does in the air. I mean, you 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:02.920 look at Michael Gallup and Amari Cooper. Sure they were 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:04.840 able to do that, but I don't think they were 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.960 as twitchy and you know, go up and you're you know, 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:09.800 he he's had a couple of catches where it looks 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.600 like he's laying down in the middle of the air 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:13.560 and he's still able to come. 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:14.839 Down horizontal to the ground. 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.080 I don't know if if Dak Prescott's had that before. 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.320 And you look at the the charts in terms of 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.640 where you know, Ceede Lamb and George Pickens catched the 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.520 ball the most, and theybe seem to compliment each other 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:24.920 really well. 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:27.760 So charts, this is all, this is all lining up. 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:30.919 Yeah, charts, charts, traits, characteristics. Yeah, I feel like the 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:33.919 best comparison that I've seen, and this was Nick Harris 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:35.880 that brought this up on the Break last week, is 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:38.440 that he is a gen Z des Bryant. 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.520 See, and that was going to be my one Cowboys 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.160 comparison to what Dak has had in the past from 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:46.520 me in terms of in terms of des Bryant, that's 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:50.040 probably the one contested catch guy and athleticism. But I 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.919 think it's a different build of player. There's a different 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:56.360 type of skill set. And yes they're both contested catch guys. 0:05:56.720 --> 0:06:00.200 Deep threat ability are both there, but Pickens has a 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:04.400 different edge to him from a from a finesse standpoint. 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:06.560 He can still have the hands and the finesse that 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:11.240 maybe Dez didn't necessarily have. Specifically, I think when it 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.799 comes to it, Dak has had receivers in the past. 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.080 He's had Amari Cooper, he's had Dez Brian, He's had 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:20.400 CD Lamb, He's had Brandon Cooks, Michael Gallup, some of 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.680 these guys along the way. I don't know if I 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:26.279 can say a pairing fits better together than what they 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:30.600 have now with CD Lamb and George Pickens solely from 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:33.480 an x's and o's standpoint, Solely from x's and o's, 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.560 because I know there is some character concern and locker 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.039 room thought process. I don't think it's as big of 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:41.400 a deal because he's in a proven year, he's in 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.080 a one year deal. He's going to be on his 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.560 p's and q's all the way through the end of 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:50.200 the season. However, x'es and o's wise, I don't think 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.200 you could have found a perfect fit in a one 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:54.480 to two punch A one A one b is. Steven 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:55.440 Jones even talked about it. 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:57.080 Yeah, I was about to say, they think the same 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:58.080 way that you're thinking. 0:06:58.200 --> 0:06:58.360 Right. 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:00.560 They said that, you know, Stephen Jones on the radio 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:04.440 yesterday that he feels like Pickens is a one receiver. 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:06.600 So you've got two ones on the field and you 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:08.680 can you know that's never going to be a bad thing. 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:10.120 And you bring up Dez Bryant. 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.440 Well, Steven said that, you know, he reminds a lot 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:14.920 of people in the Cowboys building about Dez Bryant from 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.160 you know, the contested catchability, but also from the perspective 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.520 of like, hey, you know, he plays with a little 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:21.080 bit of emotion. 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:22.200 He plays with an edge to him. 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.200 Sometimes that gets the best of him and that comes 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:27.480 back to bite him. But they had that with Dez, 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:29.200 and you know, they know that they're going to have 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:30.239 that with George Pickens. 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.240 But he made a good point, Kyle. He's going into 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:33.040 a contract year. 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:36.440 He has nothing guaranteed in front of him after this season, 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.520 and he's got something to prove, you know, to not 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:43.679 just to himself, but to everybody out there who's talking about, hey, okay, 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.320 this guy's a locker room cancer, which I don't think 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.360 is the case. The Cowboys did their homework on this 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:50.920 and they feel like, you know, okay, his teammates liked 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.000 him enough to where he's not going to bring down 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:56.600 our locker room. Is he very demonstrative sometimes when you 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:59.880 know maybe he's not getting the ball or the team's losing. Yeah, 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:02.840 wide receivers do that. I feel like that's that's a 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.560 kind of a comedy. The Lamb did it with wide receivers, 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:08.000 and maybe he's more demonstrative about it than others are, 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:09.840 but it's a widespread issue. 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:09.920 Now. 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:12.720 That's not to say that, you know, he can't sometimes 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:14.960 go a little bit too far, but they feel confident 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:17.040 that he can rein it in and really help this team. 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.760 It's one thing to have one organization say that you 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:24.280 have had a problem within their walls, like Pittsburgh did 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.640 with George Pickens. It's another thing for the other thirty 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.280 teams in the NFL to see two organizations say the 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.840 same thing. So George Pickens can't afford to come into 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:37.680 this situation and leave the same way he did with Pittsburgh. 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:39.000 He can't afford to do. 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.959 That, Absolutely not. And another thing about George Pickens that 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:43.839 this is a contract here for him. I mean, he 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.600 has an opportunity to whether he wants to extend his 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:49.440 contract with Dallas or get the back somewhere else after 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:52.560 this season, Right, he has an opportunity. And what better 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:54.079 way for him to do it than show that he's 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:56.800 a good teammate, team player. That whole thing. 0:08:58.000 --> 0:08:58.400 I just think. 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:00.680 I think you bring him in here to fix this 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.360 stuff in a does Brian fashion. 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.920 Do you think it's enough to fix this stuff in 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:08.040 a does Brian fashion? 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:10.640 I hope so, I just wanted Chris to use the drop. 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:20.320 Ye, sorry about that. I'm kind of over the narrative 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:27.920 of passionate players who lose themselves emotionally being a detriment 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:32.640 to a team. I'm kind of over that. He is 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:36.200 a younger player who still has some maturing to do, 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:39.560 but he has the one element of his game that 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:44.480 you can't teach, and that's passion. So people say that 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.600 they want passionate players, but they want it in a 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:50.960 controlled environment somehow, some way. When you're playing one of 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:54.560 the most violent games on Earth, you can't have everything. 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:56.760 I'm sorry, people, you know what I'm saying. And all 0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:01.280 players aren't made the same. Every team has goons on 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:05.480 an offense, as at the receiver position, tight end position, 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:09.079 old line position, running back. Everybody has a goon. They 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:13.280 have a guy in every meeting room that is looked 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:16.199 at as being that guy who has the attitude, who 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:21.559 has a whose passion comes through more boisterous than others, 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.520 you know, saying, So stop trying to make everybody look 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:27.280 the same, right, So, yes, he gets penalties from time 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:29.200 to time. Yeah, because he needs to get somebody to 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:31.640 coach him up on how to harness that energy. 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:31.960 Right. 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.040 He doesn't like people having a one up on him. 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:36.360 He doesn't like losing. Right. People look at last year 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:38.920 and what he did to Jordan Lewis they were losing. Yeah, 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:41.040 I'm sure Jordan said something to him and it wasn't. 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:41.559 It wasn't. 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:42.840 It didn't sit. 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:46.760 Well, right, He's a competitive guy. Kids throw tantrums. Adults 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:49.840 are growing. Your kids growing to adults. Right. If that, 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:51.920 if that problem isn't fixed, then it's gonna continue to 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:54.440 be the same way, displayed, the same way. So yeah, 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:57.520 there's an opportunity for this coaching staff to help him develop. 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:01.079 There's an opportunity for Ceedee Lamb, who I'm on record 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.160 at Kyle Knows in the pre and post game show 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:06.440 with the Dallas Cowboys from Pregame Live talked about multiple 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:09.360 times about how Ceedee Lamb needed to grow up last year. 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:12.040 I was very vocal about that, especially early in the season, 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:14.160 especially early in the season when he was throwing a tantrum. 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:16.000 And then there was one time, I don't remember what 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.640 game it was, where Ceedee Lamb was literally on the 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:22.760 sideline throwing a tantrum, literally throwing a tantrum. Helmet is 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:26.079 going around throwing his arms up, really bad body language, 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.440 and that got caught on film. You remember I told you, 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:29.920 I said, this is gonna be a one heck of 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:32.079 a moment for him because for the first time he's 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:33.160 gonna have to see himself. 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:35.360 It's a Raven's game Week three last year. 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.920 Yeah, he had to see himself all over social media, 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:42.840 all on national network television. And when you see yourself, 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:44.840 when your face with looking at yourself in the mirror, 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:48.800 you're like, that's what I look like. Everybody has been there, right, 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.960 whatever issues we may have as human beings, when we 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:55.760 see it as somebody else, we're like, Eh, that's that's me. 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.040 That's that's what I look like. And then what happens, 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:02.079 that's your aha moment. CD started changing, and his CD 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.920 started blocking, and his CD started acting differently in terms 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.080 of his leadership. He maybe he was thinking the same things, 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:08.880 but it wasn't coming out of his mouth right. So, 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:10.800 whether somebody got in his hand, whether it was him 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:14.000 seeing himself, whatever it was, he took steps forward and 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.480 matured as a receiver like that. 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:18.240 And he's not on the season. He's not one of 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.920 those demonstrative leaders. He's not going to be verbose. He's 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.319 not going to be talking constantly on the sidelines in 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:26.600 a way that he just leads by example. He's doing 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:28.319 what he needs to do on the field. He's about 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.760 his business. Early on in the season last year, I 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:33.280 was very critical of Ceedee Lamb. I was critical of 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:36.400 the fumbles and just like looking overall not prepared, and 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:39.160 a big part of that was losing out on training camp. 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:42.200 He wasn't there, you know, but he got in a 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.160 groove and obviously towards the end of the season he 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.160 was the most valuable player hands down. 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:48.240 And he did it without Dak Prescott at quarterback and 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:50.040 a lot of that did it without a shoulder. 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.040 Dude, it was amazing what he was able to accomplish. 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:56.160 You bring a guy like George Pickens into not be 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:58.520 the wide receiver too, but like we're talking about being 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:02.360 a wide receiver, one b learn to learn with a 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:05.440 leader next to him like CD and I don't know, man, 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:07.360 like I guess an example that I can give you 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:10.160 is Draymond Green. I don't like Draymond you gotta have him, 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:12.480 but it's nice to have him on your team. He's 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:14.920 won a lot of champions He's won a lot of championships. 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:16.360 May not like him, you may not like to go 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:18.040 up against, but that is a dog. 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:25.400 Draymond, Kevin Willis, freaking Kevin Willis, Dennis Robman, listen, but 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:28.600 even just look Cooper flag just yeah, look like this team. 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:35.440 Look at his team offensive line. Who's your goon? Who Hoffman? Yeah, 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:37.840 it's there, right, He's gonna get you a penalty at 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.240 some point, it's gonna happen. Yeah, but you take that 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:42.640 because you need that dog on it. Okay, let's go 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:44.600 to the defensive line. 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:45.160 Who's your guy? 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:50.839 Micah Micah, Sam Williams. You know what I'm saying, Like, oh, say, 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:53.160 he's more, he's more, he has it together, right, I 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:55.800 would say, but in terms of emotions coming to that's 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:57.160 what I'm talking about. Yeah, that's what I'm talking on 0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:58.359 the field, Like, Okay. 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:01.160 So he's all those penalties that you can go. 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:05.160 Outside of the specialist, you're gonna find one guy in 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.840 every single room who just has that passion that you 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:10.320 gotta rank. You just gotta rank, you gotta hone it in. Right, 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.320 you got a real women. Sometimes you know what I'm saying, Kyle. 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:14.480 Sometimes pre cage I got real Amen. Sometimes you know 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:18.640 he goes crazy. But it's okay. People. I'm saying all 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:22.040 that to say it's okay and you actually want that, right. 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:25.680 If you're gonna be a running team as a receiving group, 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:27.280 everybody can't be nice. 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:27.960 Yeah. 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.000 And one of them in our writers room and his 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:31.240 name is Tommy Yarish. 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:32.040 That's what it is. 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:32.560 Pure dog. 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:36.720 Somebody in our chat brought it up and said, maybe 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.000 this is a way for Jerry to kind of test 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:42.200 what Schottenheimer was talking about in his opening press conference 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:44.880 where he said, I'm great with x's and o's, or 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:46.800 excuse me, I'm good with x's and o's, but I'm 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:49.600 great with people, and this is an opportunity to do that. 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:50.640 Sorry, I cut you off. 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:54.520 You can have a great culture, but you still need 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:55.640 guys with an edge. 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:58.640 I feel like every winning football team. 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:01.040 When you think about great foot ball teams, even here 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:02.920 in the past, I mean you think about Michael Irvin, 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.800 and he was he was the ultimate picture of passion 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.600 and you know, sometimes it might get a little over 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:12.720 the boilover, but he's the playmaker. He made plays and 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:14.840 you know, I'm not saying that George Picktens is gonna 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:17.440 have the same impact Michael Irvin does, but in terms 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:20.760 of the passion and how he demonstrates it, you need that. 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:21.600 You need that. 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:23.920 We can't just all be you know, putting our arms 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:25.160 around each other doing the rockets. 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.280 Stand by name name. 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:32.600 Championship team. Name a championship team in any sport where 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:34.080 you can't point to say that's the guy. 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:37.440 Yeah, I mean, look at last year. I think Jalen 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:39.800 Carter is that for Philadelphia. You can you can look 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:41.440 at a lot of different guys on that roster that 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:41.960 that have done. 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:43.320 They got a few of them. 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:45.520 Gardner Johnson and those guys out there with like you 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:47.200 got you have multiple, I gotta have some. 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:49.440 You gotta have some mean, mean guy like this. This 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:50.480 is a nasty sport. 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:51.520 It's not a nice game. 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:53.760 They said, no, we're not. You know, it's not like 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:56.080 rockabye baby. But when you put somebody down on the ground, 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:57.000 you're hitting. 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.120 You're hidden cast bro like you're trying to take people's 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.120 soul every single place. But outside of that, let's look 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:05.440 at the positive addition. Right, If this is going to 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:08.080 be a run first team The most dangerous thing to 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:11.680 a secondary is now play action. Right, it's now play action. 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:15.200 Now you have two guys who legit can get behind 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:18.000 your safeties. You have two guys that can run routes. 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.200 When you think about some of the best combos in 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:22.160 the NFL, right, we did this last week on Good 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:25.360 Morning Football, the best receiving combos in the league. I 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:27.680 started making the list. It's freaking extensive. Now, how many 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:30.000 teams have nice one to two punches, Yeah, right. 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:32.680 Your whole decision for maybe the Giants, but they have 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:35.360 molite Bibbers. Who's still a doug facts. Yeah, most teams 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:39.040 have a possession guy and a deep threat guy. That's 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.760 usually the combination that you have. And in case of 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:44.680 the Cowboys, both of these guys are possession guys. Both 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:46.520 of these guys are deep threat guys. Oh and by 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:48.480 the way, you have tight ends that can work underneath. 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:51.320 Right. So when you start thinking about the identity of 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:53.720 this team and what they're trying to do offensively, this 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:54.880 goes with it. 0:16:55.280 --> 0:17:00.480 This keeps two safeties deep, honest, keeps two deep. 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:02.920 Go ahead and roll down to one safety. I dare 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:05.600 you if you roll down to one safety, that means 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:08.160 that you are literally choosing which one of these guys 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:10.320 that you want to double if you are doubling them, 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.600 and if you're doubling one, one guy's isold. 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:16.840 Yeah. Well, one of the conversations that I had when 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:21.280 well before they even were in the mix for pickings 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:23.240 or they were looking at trade and wide receiver. Actually 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:26.560 I think it was before the draft. I was asked 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:29.119 or I asked the question, what are you looking for 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:31.480 in a wide receiver too? Where do you feel like 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:33.920 you have to go? And the answer I got was 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:38.080 they want somebody that if ced Lamb is completely shut down. 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:40.720 Let's say he's completely taken out of the game, he's 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:44.640 got two receptions for sixteen yards, that's it. Can someone 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:47.119 else on this roster get you one hundred and fifty yards? 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.960 Can somebody get you a buck fifty? If ceed Lamb's 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:53.600 completely negated in the game plan and it just doesn't 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:57.199
