Speaker 1: in the game against Sunday Ago. Charges. Man, he came
Speaker 1: in the game late and uh, let's making plays. I
Speaker 1: mean they wasn't like they are now for losses and
Speaker 1: minimal game. He was kind of hitting five yards six
Speaker 1: but he was hitting and I pull leon Let to
Speaker 1: the side. I say, this kid in here, lady the game,
Speaker 1: trying to bring everything he got on limited knowledge. I
Speaker 1: said he would keep him. Leon Let just looked at
Speaker 1: him like, I say, y'all promise you man. Gratulations brother,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I appreciate it as elations. It's been a
Speaker 1: long journey, but you know, it was just always worth it,
Speaker 1: as you Yeah, but yeah, it's it's been a journey
Speaker 1: and it's you know, it's fun and I'm still young,
Speaker 1: so I still keep playing. Was it toughest first couple
Speaker 1: of years ahead? You playing everywhere along that all three spots?
Speaker 1: Does that help? Or you're like, man, just put me
Speaker 1: one space, one spot, let me roll. Yeah, at first
Speaker 1: it was tough. I look back on it now and
Speaker 1: it helped me a lot. But when you're a rookie
Speaker 1: coming in playing Sam, Mike and Will, that's tough. But
Speaker 1: we don't look back. Look back at it now. I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: now I know everyone's job. I could play faster, so uh,
Speaker 1: at the moment, it was a little tough, but I
Speaker 1: got through it, you know. Uh. Coach Flews, a linebacker coach. Um,
Speaker 1: he helped me through it, and you know, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: a better football player. Yeah. I always I wondered when
Speaker 1: you were drafted, you you're kind of be kind of
Speaker 1: eased into Sean Lee was you know, he was a
Speaker 1: starter all that, and then like first practice, boom, Shan
Speaker 1: Lee's injured. We're kind of like, oh boy, here we go.
Speaker 1: Or yeah, that's that's exactly how it was. They told, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, they had a label on me a special
Speaker 1: team guy. Even though I ignore all that. You know,
Speaker 1: I just come in to work. I try to you know,
Speaker 1: uh not blind knock all that stuff off and just
Speaker 1: you know, just play football. But uh, you know, and
Speaker 1: their plans. They wanted me to be a backup and
Speaker 1: a special team guy, and unfortunately Sean Lee went down,
Speaker 1: and uh it started a little earlier than they expected.
Speaker 1: Here we off. Four years later, we opened up training
Speaker 1: camp and then if you know, they go through soft days,
Speaker 1: then they opened up the pad. You stopped like four
Speaker 1: straight runs in the backfield. I say, this is this
Speaker 1: hitch year. And then you got that injury. Man, How
Speaker 1: did you feel? Man? Yeah? That was crazy? Uh? Um,
Speaker 1: you know I had had the best camp and my
Speaker 1: four years, I was flying around having fun and uh,
Speaker 1: unfortunately I got I got hurt. But uh, you know,
Speaker 1: everything happens for a reason. Yeah, you know I was hurt.
Speaker 1: I was in the books. Um, you know, staying here
Speaker 1: with the team. So I still feel part of the team.
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm just trying to pick up where
Speaker 1: I left off. And I think I'm doing and doing
Speaker 1: just that. So um, as long as I just keep improving,
Speaker 1: I think I'll be all right. So who are your
Speaker 1: buddies on the team. Who do you hang out with
Speaker 1: outside of football? Uh? Outside of football? Damien Wilson, Um,

Speaker 1: I knew. I asked you all my life. I knew
Speaker 1: her family all my life. Uh, you had your eye
Speaker 1: on your friend's older sister. That's why I did. I did,
Speaker 1: and I told him that when um he wasn't okay
Speaker 1: with it at first. You know, as we got older,
Speaker 1: he understood. Yeah, yeah, I mean it was it was
Speaker 1: almost marrying someone I knew all my life. So it
Speaker 1: was it was a lot easier. It's very cool. So
Speaker 1: tell us about your your childhood. Where when'd you start
Speaker 1: playing football? Where'd you go to? I thought we were
Speaker 1: gonna talk. No, just no, you already got your football question.
Speaker 1: I just say you're talking more football. So, oh, where
Speaker 1: you start playing football? Like? What towns you grow up in?
Speaker 1: High school and then college? And how'd you get here? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm from a little town Lorene, Ohio, about west of Cleveland,
Speaker 1: about thirty and it's UM started I was about eight
Speaker 1: years old, you know, started off receiver, then got moved
Speaker 1: it tight end, then quarterback and running back. But uh yeah,
Speaker 1: and don't let him sell you short. Here he owns
Speaker 1: his high school record for rushing yard what he just
Speaker 1: kind of skipped over that. Then he took his team
Speaker 1: to the state championship his junior year as a running back.
Speaker 1: I got can run. Yeah, I was a running back.
Speaker 1: UM had a good offensive line. Though. You know those
Speaker 1: guys are some some big guys. Yeah, so I'm sure
Speaker 1: they're listening or will listen my buddies. So yeah, that
Speaker 1: was the good days. I got to Iowa by UM.
Speaker 1: The defensive coordinator from Iowa's Phil Parker. He's from my
Speaker 1: hometown and in Ohio, so it was a connection there.
Speaker 1: Uh ended up signing there, playing my four years there
Speaker 1: and now uh flu so our linebacker coaches him, and okay,
Speaker 1: let me back up, so y'all can understand. So it's
Speaker 1: it's a it's a long train. So my defensive coordinator
Speaker 1: at Iowa it's from my hometown. But he also coached
Speaker 1: with my linebacker coach, coach Fleus Toledo for a while.
Speaker 1: So when I was in Iowa, you know, when it
Speaker 1: was time to get drafted, you know, they called him
Speaker 1: and asked him about me and all this. So it
Speaker 1: was easier chance to listen for me to come here
Speaker 1: knowing someone new, Phil Parker, which was from my hometown.
Speaker 1: That's kind of cool. Every everywhere along the way you've
Speaker 1: had somebody that knew you from a place before and
Speaker 1: kind of brought you along to where you're at. Now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's really cool. Wow. Man, Now go ahead on and
Speaker 1: says you know everything about it? Okay, Well, you know,
Speaker 1: I gotta ask. It always gets brought up. I mean,
Speaker 1: you you made such a tough decision when you were
Speaker 1: twelve years old, decided was it simply you wanted to
Speaker 1: go to a different high school. You felt he had
Speaker 1: a better opportunity to this different high school. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was eleven years old and the neighborhood I was
Speaker 1: living in and the school district I just didn't want
Speaker 1: to go to. And nicely, my family and my adopted
Speaker 1: family now you know, took me in and moved me
Speaker 1: to uh a more you know, typical high school. Though
Speaker 1: high school was in the high school. I put it
Speaker 1: like that. Uh So, they took me in. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: they treated me like their own from day one, and
Speaker 1: I mean they added a bedroom for me so and honestly,
Speaker 1: at the time, they really didn't know me besides the
Speaker 1: kid that wanted to you know, wanted to go to
Speaker 1: the life. Yeah, and I was good friends with the
Speaker 1: There's one son they had at the time that was
Speaker 1: good friends with um. He was a quarterback of the team,
Speaker 1: just high school team. Um. So yeah, they took me
Speaker 1: in and you know, they never looked back since. And
Speaker 1: you know that's why I'm so appreciative of what everything
Speaker 1: I got. Now, Yeah, it's an amazing story because I
Speaker 1: guess explain the story. I mean, you just went off
Speaker 1: from like I'm like, you got people listening, so explain
Speaker 1: the story. No, well maybe I don't know. Maybe Anthony
Speaker 1: should explain a little boy okay, but okay, I'll give
Speaker 1: you from what you understand what I understand. When when
Speaker 1: you're eleven twelve years old, you decided you had your
Speaker 1: good friend of yours, he basically made the decision to
Speaker 1: move in with his family, um in order to go
Speaker 1: to a better high school, better neighborhood. I guess at all,
Speaker 1: but it was a great situation with your mom understood.
Speaker 1: Both families got alonger. I think your mom and his
Speaker 1: and your adoptive father knew each other and yeah, we're
Speaker 1: friends sort of or went to high school school. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a you kind of had the best of
Speaker 1: both worlds maybe where you had this opportunity to live
Speaker 1: with this family and go to the school. Yet your
Speaker 1: mom was very understanding. You're still very close to your mom, Nick. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was very understanding, and I think that had been
Speaker 1: harder if it wasn't understanding. And still to this day
Speaker 1: there you know, they both come up to the first
Speaker 1: game every year, you know. So it's it's good I
Speaker 1: have now I have two moms. You know a lot
Speaker 1: of people have one. Something, don't have none, unfortunately, but
Speaker 1: I could say I have two. You know, So everything
Speaker 1: happens for a reason, like I always saying, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm just so blessed to be here. So football like
Speaker 1: literally changed your life. Yes, that's awesome, man, I didn't
Speaker 1: know that story. Yeah, hitch Man, you know, I don't
Speaker 1: say yeah, I know y'all see me staring at y'all. Lot.
Speaker 1: I don't say a lot, man, But you you are
Speaker 1: bigger than I think. Man, how big are you? I'm
Speaker 1: two thirty. See last year and years before I was
Speaker 1: little lighter. I was two twenty to twenty four. But
Speaker 1: me and Sean this offseason and throughout the camp, you know,
Speaker 1: he told me like really like a lot of people
Speaker 1: lay back on weights during the season, you know, and
Speaker 1: challenge like, just don't do that, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's what you're supposed to do. Lay back you can
Speaker 1: you know, try to maximize the weight room, you know,
Speaker 1: as much as you're doing on the field. And I'm
Speaker 1: just like, all right, you know, I'm gonna try this.
Speaker 1: You know, the first couple of weeks is hard. You know,
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I'm tired, or you're not as strong
Speaker 1: as you want to because you're running a lot. So
Speaker 1: you gotta just find different ways in the rape room
Speaker 1: to continue getting stronger. And I've been doing that since
Speaker 1: this off season. The first place is showing up and
Speaker 1: uh my weight and then my quickness on the field.
Speaker 1: So big, big shout out to Sean Lee, a guy
Speaker 1: that's been doing it for a while. So I wasn't
Speaker 1: gonna tell him. No, what is your favorite meal? You
Speaker 1: could have one meal, your last meal? What would it be? Uh?
Speaker 1: Would My mom makes chicken ch allots twice baked potatoes. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm over that. What you think about the food? Here's
Speaker 1: the training table. It was very good. Yeah, I got
Speaker 1: a lot to pick from. Um, they got barbecue today.
Speaker 1: I'm not a barbecue guy. What wait? What not a
Speaker 1: barbecue guy? How could you not be a barbecum? Ohio?
Speaker 1: You know they don't. My wife cook barbecue revs. I
Speaker 1: just she I told her, just don't put this sauce
Speaker 1: on mine. I thought I can't be friends with you.
Speaker 1: But this man is intelligent. You agree? Oh yeah, okay?
Speaker 1: Well quick going acro the street eating eating. Sometimes I
Speaker 1: just gotta get out of here. I just gotta get
Speaker 1: out of here. I get some air. You know, you
Speaker 1: know your home, but be sneaking up on leaving if
Speaker 1: you're doing film study, right, he follows, he shot aw.
Speaker 1: I told a story yesterday that I was giving a
Speaker 1: tour to somebody after hours and like everybody's gone out
Speaker 1: of the building and I walked up by where the
Speaker 1: big auditorium is and I walked by and I saw
Speaker 1: this light on and sawid projector. I was like, somebody
Speaker 1: left this on. I walked in and Shawn's and then
Speaker 1: by himself in the dark, just watching film. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: five o'clock on a Friday. I was like, WHOA. People
Speaker 1: don't understand, Like all the media people asked me, like,
Speaker 1: uh so, what by Sean Good? And I told him,
Speaker 1: like he said, he likes to watch film and he
Speaker 1: comes early to watch film, and they just like blows
Speaker 1: that off, like no, literally, he's here till seven pm,
Speaker 1: uh Wednesdays and Thursdays. Yeah, and like you saying, on
Speaker 1: Friday at five, So he's putting in the work and
Speaker 1: uh and then and it shows up and and I
Speaker 1: try my best to like get somewhere even close to that.
Speaker 1: You know, it's hard to do your life in football,
Speaker 1: and he does it so you know, it's a good
Speaker 1: guy to look after. How does that work with your
Speaker 1: the scheme out there because we always here and I
Speaker 1: don't know any better, but the defense is set up
Speaker 1: to kind of free Sean up to make tackles and
Speaker 1: all that. But how does that work with you? I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm surely that's not it's at all not for him.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're Nate's been talking about how well the
Speaker 1: defensive line is playing, tying guys up, which is freeing
Speaker 1: you up too, I assume to make these plays. Is
Speaker 1: that kind of how it's set up? Yeah, the line
Speaker 1: play good, the linebackers play good, you know, and that's
Speaker 1: that's how it goes. And Sean Lee, he just has
Speaker 1: a nose for the ball, you know, and the more
Speaker 1: snaps you play, the more opportunities you have to make,
Speaker 1: you know, tackles and stuff like that. So, uh, He's
Speaker 1: just that's just how it works, you know. I don't,
Speaker 1: you know, as much credit as he gets, it didn't
Speaker 1: seem like the defense really took off till you got
Speaker 1: back in there and you're both in there together and
Speaker 1: having both those guys you Sean David Irving back, I mean,
Speaker 1: do you guys feel like you've kind of stepped up
Speaker 1: at another level. Now, yeah, I think so. We gotta
Speaker 1: everyone's playing as long as everyone keep being better, and
Speaker 1: that's all. That's all we can ask for. And we
Speaker 1: just don't want to take no steps backwards. We got
Speaker 1: a good thing going for this past couple of weeks
Speaker 1: and we just gotta keep building. We don't we don't
Speaker 1: want to go backwards. All right, man, We know you

Speaker 1: said that, Lord, all right, before we talk about Hitch,
Speaker 1: this big ball is staring me in the face. What's
Speaker 1: the name on that ball? Barraclaw so strong at the balls.
Speaker 1: So we went out and we did our little We
Speaker 1: should have bet something well, yeah, but we didn't. So
Speaker 1: we went out and did our little thing. I thought
Speaker 1: there was no way in hell Douglas reset what you did.
Speaker 1: So yesterday we somehow we got on the topic of
Speaker 1: I didn't think there was any way in hell Douglas
Speaker 1: could throw a ball forty yards in the air. And
Speaker 1: he just, oh, yeah, no problem, I could do that
Speaker 1: with ease and accurate and whatever. So we talked about
Speaker 1: it a lot on the show, and we decided we'd
Speaker 1: go prove it out here before the show, and we
Speaker 1: had some lunch and Douglas and Nate met me and
Speaker 1: Kurt out on the field and we videoed it, and
Speaker 1: sure enough, Douglas can throw the damn ball forty yards
Speaker 1: in the air. Congrapulations Douglas, and we get that put
Speaker 1: on the website by somehow, some way that Douglas completed it.
Speaker 1: Hit it right on the line. Yeah, I don't think
Speaker 1: it'll break the internet with that news. We'll put it
Speaker 1: on the Hanging with the boys. Hurt shot a video.
Speaker 1: I shot a video. I'll try to stitch them together
Speaker 1: somehow and we'll put it up. The first one, I think,
Speaker 1: the first one I know, was short. NA hit I
Speaker 1: kind of hit you take away your glory, man. I
Speaker 1: thought it was short at first two, but I hit, yeah,
Speaker 1: hit right on the line man. The second and third
Speaker 1: ones definitely definitely went over forty. And don't play tennis
Speaker 1: with Shannon if he couldn't see it hit the line
Speaker 1: four yards up. Douglas, she already got your glory for
Speaker 1: this show. Sit back there and Mike off. Congratulations, Douglas,
Speaker 1: Thank you. I thought there was no way in hell
Speaker 1: that was happening, but it did. You You did do
Speaker 1: official NFL. Yeah, football, you've done good. You done. Give
Speaker 1: me a give me a few days to knock the
Speaker 1: rust off and I will throw it straight to you.
Speaker 1: We ain't got time for that, all right. What do
Speaker 1: you guys think about hitch Man? Nice guy. I've been
Speaker 1: watching him since he was a rookie. Yeah, I've been
Speaker 1: watching him literally, you know, I've been sitting back. I
Speaker 1: watched a few guys just to see how he developed
Speaker 1: and where they come from. And uh, each year he
Speaker 1: got better. But this pass training camp, I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: he would he would open up practice man, just in
Speaker 1: the backfield, and I'm like, wow, you know to the
Speaker 1: point where a couple of times Zeke was like had
Speaker 1: to stop on the time because he was on ing
Speaker 1: already on him. Yeah, and so then when he had
Speaker 1: that knee deal, oh my god, that put a lot
Speaker 1: of prayer show Jalen. I mean, I know Jalen probably
Speaker 1: you know, saying hey, you know what, I love the snaps,
Speaker 1: but more effective, you know. Yeah, with him, with him
Speaker 1: being start up. I was talking to him on the
Speaker 1: way over here and asked him how the knee was doing,
Speaker 1: and he was like, you know, he's like it's great.
Speaker 1: He's like, I don't think about it, I don't feel it.
Speaker 1: I haven't really had to get treatment. He was like,
Speaker 1: after you know, the Green Bay game, it's like it
Speaker 1: was never even injured. So that's that's good to hear.
Speaker 1: You know. It's not lingering. So he's one of those
Speaker 1: guys that doesn't get a lot of recognition. Sean le
Speaker 1: obviously gets a bunch right Lawrence this year. And he's good.
Speaker 1: He's steady. I mean yeah, just like he talked about,
Speaker 1: he can play any of those three positions, and he's
Speaker 1: just he doesn't make a lot of mistakes. He's he's
Speaker 1: not gonna you know, I'm not gonna give you a
Speaker 1: highlight real stuff much, but he's gonna make the play
Speaker 1: and a great story too. I didn't know that backstory
Speaker 1: about him moving in with the yeah, another family. It
Speaker 1: was pretty much. I mean, he's twelve eleven, twelve years
Speaker 1: old and he just decided it was kind of his decision.
Speaker 1: He just asked his mom one day, not going live
Speaker 1: with them. You know, I'm gonna share something. Go off
Speaker 1: the grid just a little bit. You know. Lincoln Coleman
Speaker 1: used to be running back here. You remember him, Sir
Speaker 1: Douglas Lincoln Coleman. I'm a forty four from didn't he
Speaker 1: go to high school in Dallas Bryan Adams, And uh,
Speaker 1: he went off the grid. He through the drugs and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. He went off the grid and they
Speaker 1: found him. You know. Uh one day I think when
Speaker 1: our players asked players, uh god, I can't think of
Speaker 1: his name. Anyway, showed up at the homeless shelter he
Speaker 1: was at and it brought him back. And at the
Speaker 1: same time as his girl and his mom was putting
Speaker 1: out my kids missing, and they said, man, we know
Speaker 1: you and Lincoln and he got up out of the
Speaker 1: shelter and walked home and they was interviewing because he
Speaker 1: walked to the show that I was doing. He and
Speaker 1: we just interviewed him on the spot and uh, and
Speaker 1: the question was asked, I tried to explain this to
Speaker 1: people all the time. They said, uh, he said, Lincoln,
Speaker 1: isn't it the people you hang around, isn't it, you know,
Speaker 1: make a big impact in your life. Link kind of
Speaker 1: looked at him, and the first thing you want to say,
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, watch you you hang with But but
Speaker 1: he said, it's just playing and simple. It's got to
Speaker 1: be within you. If your parents have put it before you,
Speaker 1: or somebody of authority, or even a friend that's put
Speaker 1: who are you? What do you want? And if it's
Speaker 1: in you, that's what's in the hitch you. Yeah, that's goodness. Man.
Speaker 1: When it's in you, it can't nobody to dissuade you.
Speaker 1: You're gonna find a way not to be with that group. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and even I mean yeah, he wasn't even a teenager
Speaker 1: yet you made that kind of decision. It's just yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he saw it. Man. And and my son Trey I remember, Man,
Speaker 1: I remember like it was yesterday and he was four
Speaker 1: or five six years old. Man, and I'm sitting in
Speaker 1: our house and I got a beer in my hand,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sitting a big old man for a
Speaker 1: hundred pounds offseason and he walked up to me between
Speaker 1: me and they said, daddy, Daddy. I said, yeah, son.
Speaker 1: He said he I'm gonna play football. And I look
Speaker 1: at him, you know, okay, it's cool. You know you're proud.
Speaker 1: I said, what position you're gonna play? He said, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be a running back. I looked at him. Now,
Speaker 1: this is a young kid. Man, I said with baby,
Speaker 1: you gotta watch what you eat. You can't eat like that,
Speaker 1: you can't act like that. And from that day on, man,
Speaker 1: my baby changed the way he had and how he
Speaker 1: was about four or five six years old, and I
Speaker 1: remember this like his yesterday, so I know he didn't
Speaker 1: wait till he was eleven years old. Hitch didn't know.
Speaker 1: He knew something wasn't right. He knew, and as he
Speaker 1: got a little bit older he began to figure it out. Then,
Speaker 1: my environment is not right for what I want to
Speaker 1: do and where I want to be. God gives you
Speaker 1: that sometime, and it's called the himself that allows you.
Speaker 1: I don't care what your partners of friends doing, and
Speaker 1: I can get stories of stories of people that I
Speaker 1: know like that. You probably have friends that you're like, man,
Speaker 1: every time we got in trouble, such and such one
Speaker 1: around because it's in him. Man, I'm proud of hit you. Man.
Speaker 1: And some kids get get trapped in their environment, yeah,
Speaker 1: and just don't know how to get out. And lucky
Speaker 1: for him that, yeah, he had a mom that was
Speaker 1: understanding and supportive, and you know what, he would have
Speaker 1: found a way. And see that's the funny thing about it.
Speaker 1: He would have found a way. Yeah, he would have
Speaker 1: found a way. And see a lot of times, you know,
Speaker 1: well I'm telling you, I know story about the story.
Speaker 1: And my kid was just one of those kids. And
Speaker 1: to this day, man, I look at my kid and
Speaker 1: I tell him that he just kind of looked at me.
Speaker 1: You know, he's kind of looked at him son since
Speaker 1: he was four or five six years old. He had
Speaker 1: about five and six or s. I said, you you've
Speaker 1: been a different breed, so he's a different breed. Did
Speaker 1: he remember that conversation. I don't even know if you remember.
Speaker 1: I told him, I said, Man, I said, do you remember,
Speaker 1: he just looked at me? You know? And even when
Speaker 1: he was I wouldn't let him play pop wanting football,
Speaker 1: he would cry and I was showing his friends because
Speaker 1: every time they get hit they go to crowe. Then
Speaker 1: they get up and play football. I said, Dad, don't
Speaker 1: play in that world, son, the cry baby world. And
Speaker 1: so I let him start playing when he was probably
Speaker 1: about ten or eleven. And he was different. Man, he
Speaker 1: was he he was different and uh and so the
Speaker 1: way and I looked at him because he wasn't like
Speaker 1: he just was not. He was more like my father,
Speaker 1: you know. He just my father was the same way.
Speaker 1: He took care of his mother growing up, coming from
Speaker 1: Georgia when he was thirteen, moving in moving to Florida sixteen,
Speaker 1: He had his mom. So but I wasn't like that.
Speaker 1: I was a different guy, you know. I was that wild,
Speaker 1: out of control guy, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: when I see people like Hitchens tell that story, you
Speaker 1: bring it up like that, that's trying to say explain that.
Speaker 1: I want people to know that if you got a
Speaker 1: good kid, you got a good kid. But by the
Speaker 1: same token, if you got that wild kid, harnishment, serious
Speaker 1: harness men, haunters, harness her or him in because kids
Speaker 1: will show you what they are. Now you're gonna be
Speaker 1: a parent that understands. Okay, this kid here is different.
Speaker 1: That don't mean that I don't have to watch him
Speaker 1: because he's still gonna be a kid and she's still
Speaker 1: gonna be a kid. But that one over here, that's
Speaker 1: out of control. They're two different people, and you gotta
Speaker 1: and you gotta treat them two different people. You have
Speaker 1: basically the same core rules, but they's two different people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so what you said, most you know, NFL guys
Speaker 1: take so much criticism for being wild and crazy, but
Speaker 1: I think most of them eighty five percent what they
Speaker 1: had to do to get here and they were eighty
Speaker 1: five percent of pro players are good people. Just dictates.
Speaker 1: It's no media. It was the Zeke's situation comes up.
Speaker 1: There's no glory for the everyday media guy. If Zeke
Speaker 1: is making their life easy. Yeah, they don't have to
Speaker 1: get up and create nothing. It's already there. Thing it's
Speaker 1: going on missus Jones versus the league. They sit up
Speaker 1: and say, oh, they'll act like they concern, but they
Speaker 1: get up every morning smiling because now I don't have
Speaker 1: to really work at a story. Yeah, and it misses
Speaker 1: out on good stories like yeah, yeah, yeah, I've always
Speaker 1: said a locker room is a microcosm of society. You got,
Speaker 1: like Nate said, eighty five, they're good and they do
Speaker 1: what they're supposed to do. But then you got fifteen
Speaker 1: that are just and that on me that they're bad.
Speaker 1: They just do different things. And and I look back
Speaker 1: now I look at Trot them sometime I just smile,
Speaker 1: and they smile at me because they know they're like,
Speaker 1: well what big noon used to do? Wow? You know
Speaker 1: what you know? I'm serious? And now I look at them.
Speaker 1: How your kids? Man? Your girls are up? Now? How
Speaker 1: old lot it moose? What you're doing with your kids? Maybe? Oh? Kids?
Speaker 1: Before I used to be like, man, I hate kids.
Speaker 1: Hate's always asking me about my lady friend. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: not you mister players. Yeah, well, I see the thing
Speaker 1: about it is if you got a good woman, if
Speaker 1: you got they go Zeke on TV. Yeah he's already done.
Speaker 1: Last of thirty five minutes of pelle hearing has concluded,
Speaker 1: and they're awaiting the decision from the work. When when
Speaker 1: you are nine times out of ten, most guys that
Speaker 1: got good girls, uh kind of more stable guys. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying they don't do nothing more. I would say
Speaker 1: nothing crazy but they're a little bit more stable because
Speaker 1: that young lady gonna demand a little bit of that
Speaker 1: because she's known him since a kid. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: she's cracking that wall. Yeah. Yeah, and so and his
Speaker 1: humble and his soft spoken as he's just like that
Speaker 1: off the field, just like that back in the hood.
Speaker 1: You date a girl that long and you try to
Speaker 1: get out of hands first day and should tell you, homeboy,
Speaker 1: I used to wash your dirty draws, I know, before
Speaker 1: you before we could wash him all right. He's like, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: you put up with a lot of stuff. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: she know the good and the bad on him, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Yeah, don't made me put it
Speaker 1: in the streets. Yeah, man, you know what, let's let's
Speaker 1: do something we said we were gonna do. What what
Speaker 1: is that hope? Is something good? It is? It'll be
Speaker 1: this will be fun. Let's give our mid season award.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I saw that. Man, I was so hyped
Speaker 1: by about Nate. Probably hadn't even put any thought into this, yeah,
Speaker 1: because he was dominating because I was so hyped about Douglas. Still, yeah,
Speaker 1: y'all have no idea how excited this We've been buzzing
Speaker 1: since right after the show yesterday we've been talking actor Douglas.
Speaker 1: Douglas would have let me down that game everything. I
Speaker 1: wish you would have because I would have loved it,
Speaker 1: have gotten your reaction on video. You probably wouldn't have
Speaker 1: made it falling down laughing man. Douglas would have had
Speaker 1: to thank you Douglas for being the winner. Ate was
Speaker 1: in the corner nobody. I wasn't against you. I just
Speaker 1: wanted to see it. I wanted you to. We couldn't
Speaker 1: tell yesterday, my friend to approach life. You want to
Speaker 1: see it, you want to see it. All right, guys,
Speaker 1: let's go around the Let's go around the group here.
Speaker 1: I'll give us a category. You guys give me your
Speaker 1: thoughts and all I'll finish up with mine. Okay, Nate,
Speaker 1: so far halfway through the season, your Dallas Cowboys offensive
Speaker 1: MVP is her? Why because this kid came in when
Speaker 1: everybody thinking he was gonna have a slump, he not
Speaker 1: only proved that he can be act. He thought it
Speaker 1: was a better loan ball, now he thought was a
Speaker 1: better mid range ball. And he's even better at spreading
Speaker 1: out defense. So if something do happen to Zeke, I
Speaker 1: feel confident that as long as he don't have to
Speaker 1: put the whole ninety percent on his back, I think
Speaker 1: he can talk this team eighty five percent of it's
Speaker 1: the only somebody just step up his mainly his receiver
Speaker 1: was a running back, and our defense continue to play
Speaker 1: just good. I defen's have to play great, just play good.
Speaker 1: This team will be all right with Dak. Okay, Kurt,
Speaker 1: I would probably agree with that, But to be different,
Speaker 1: I will say Zeke mainly because I think he can
Speaker 1: make He's the biggest impact player and hopefully we don't
Speaker 1: have to find out what life will be without him.
Speaker 1: But as preach brother, Nat and you all have talked before,
Speaker 1: you know, he turns that one yard game into three
Speaker 1: or four, or that four yard game into a first down.
Speaker 1: And so yeah, I think that I agree that Dak
Speaker 1: is probably, thank you, it's the safest, most assured guy.
Speaker 1: But I think as far as making an impact, making
Speaker 1: this team being from a really good team to a
Speaker 1: great team, I think that maybe falls into Zeke. Now, Kurt,
Speaker 1: on all these you don't have to go against Nate
Speaker 1: because every one of these I have at least two
Speaker 1: guys that I can plug in here and if y'all
Speaker 1: both agree, I'm gonna go to the opposite. So you
Speaker 1: don't have to disagree with Nate. Just who is your
Speaker 1: offensive I've got. It's funny I've had Dak and Zeke
Speaker 1: both written down. Dak, though, I'm gonna go with Dak
Speaker 1: because I think this team can win ball games and
Speaker 1: can play at least five hundred ball with without Zeke.
Speaker 1: I don't think this team's a five hundred team without Dak.
Speaker 1: I think Dak is you know, this is built around this.
Speaker 1: This team is built around the run and built around
Speaker 1: the offensive line. But I think you've got capable backs
Speaker 1: on this team that can do it at a level
Speaker 1: of Zeke. I don't. Probably not. We may find that
Speaker 1: out really quick, but I don't have a lot of
Speaker 1: confidence it's in in the quarterback position to drop about Dak. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I mean he just you know he People don't
Speaker 1: realize if he's a year and a half into his career,
Speaker 1: he's only thrown eight interceptions. He is good. He is
Speaker 1: a good quarterback, and I just don't think it's this
Speaker 1: is the same team without him. Defensive mb MVP ain'ble one.
Speaker 1: So now you can try to be different if you
Speaker 1: won't nate one, go the margust Lawrence, ain'tle one, ain'tble
Speaker 1: one for me because he and and I'm a connected
Speaker 1: for you. If he is balled, he makes the other
Speaker 1: defensive lineman ball. And if the other defensive about lineman ball,
Speaker 1: I linebacks are ridiculously good. And so for me, it's
Speaker 1: the Markus Lawrence. Now, I know way what everybody gonna say.
Speaker 1: But without a defensive line, I'm telling you trust me.
Speaker 1: Will prove me right. All right, Kurt, I will go
Speaker 1: to Sean Lee. I think we terminato. He showed how
Speaker 1: much we missed him in those two games he was out.
Speaker 1: You see it in average rushing yards with Lee is
Speaker 1: eighty point three without Lee is one sixty four. Um,
Speaker 1: you know we're five and one with him, oh and
Speaker 1: two without him. I just think that what he's able
Speaker 1: to tack the ball waves to make those tackles, but
Speaker 1: also his leadership on that side of the ball and
Speaker 1: setting guys up. I think he's they need him. Kurt,
Speaker 1: give me some you actually did some research before you
Speaker 1: see at night? Who me, I can see everything that's
Speaker 1: a terminator will be back. I'm gonna go. I had
Speaker 1: both of those guys written down. Also, it's ridden right here,
Speaker 1: and it's ridden right here. You can see it. You
Speaker 1: are good, I think, right, I see it. But you
Speaker 1: are good? Are good? As got the whole roster, so
Speaker 1: he could say I've got that one. I also have
Speaker 1: David Irving in the conversation because I think he since
Speaker 1: he's four games, he's led the team since he's been back.
Speaker 1: But to Nate's point, I think that all comes from
Speaker 1: the attention that are having to put on the Marcus Large.
Speaker 1: You know, coming in the season, you didn't know what
Speaker 1: you had with them. We had back issues, and he
Speaker 1: has balled out, balled out and a big difference. Special
Speaker 1: teams MVP Nate Chris Jones the pumber. Rick Goslin did
Speaker 1: a great article on him. I didn't read it, but
Speaker 1: he was talking about him and Bill Jones about how
Speaker 1: how before our defense started clicking, how he would still
Speaker 1: give great field position, you know, and keep the ball
Speaker 1: inside the twin and keep the ball inside the ten.
Speaker 1: Make teams have to go eighty yards, make teams have
Speaker 1: to go ninety yards. Give your offense, your defensive chance
Speaker 1: to make some plays. So Chris Jones would be my Okay, Yeah, Kurt, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was gonna go with Jones as well. I think,
Speaker 1: I mean Bailey was healthy. I mean, they don't get
Speaker 1: much better than him. He's so reliable. Um, But I
Speaker 1: do think Jones has given them such an advantage in
Speaker 1: maintaining field position, pinning them in you know, deep that um.
Speaker 1: And he's so underrated. He just kind of flies under
Speaker 1: the radar, but he's And Chris Jones gave Jeff Heath
Speaker 1: the opportunity to succeed at kicking field goals by holding
Speaker 1: that ball. Go my friend Chris ti fourth right now
Speaker 1: for punts inside. He holds a kickable ball just like
Speaker 1: a quarterback throws a catchable pass. Okay, Douglas, Okay, now
Speaker 1: I want to hear who you're special team guy is. Well,
Speaker 1: my first obvious pick was Chris Jones. And the reason
Speaker 1: the reason why, like you don't realize how good the
Speaker 1: guy is even when he hits a bad punt. There
Speaker 1: was one game I can't remember, it might have been Washington.
Speaker 1: He kicked the ball and you hear the crowd go oh,
Speaker 1: and the damn thing still went forty two yards. So
Speaker 1: it's like he doesn't mess up. You know that, you
Speaker 1: know that whole special Team's unit, LP and and Chris.
Speaker 1: I don't think people realize how good they are. You
Speaker 1: don't ever hear their names in a negative way, and
Speaker 1: that's very rare. You know, there's some teams that can't
Speaker 1: fix their special they're kicking problems. So including the University Tanks,
Speaker 1: they've given up fifty four punt return yards this year,
Speaker 1: which is tied for the third few. Wow, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna go with Cavon Frasier. He's made
Speaker 1: a couple of couple of big you know wow, catching it,
Speaker 1: you know wow. I don't know if you can pull
Speaker 1: the stat up or not. Do they have special teams
Speaker 1: negative guards, oh, negative yards, I don't know. He's leading
Speaker 1: the team and special seems tackles Okay, Cavan's really picked
Speaker 1: his game up. Man seven solo tackles, three assists, mumbles
Speaker 1: and recover one huh So, uh yeah, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Cavon, even though he hadn't got
Speaker 1: as much playing time on the field, like he's really
Speaker 1: he's somebody that's really popped off the page to me
Speaker 1: on special teams, let's oh, Rookie MVP or Rookie of
Speaker 1: the Year or Rookie of the Cowboys so far this season, Nate,
Speaker 1: I don't have one just of yet. No, no, too early.
Speaker 1: No one stepped up or not not to what I like.
Speaker 1: And that's that's because they've been injured and uh and
Speaker 1: the coaches won play my one guy charged and so
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I want to wait and see. Okay,
Speaker 1: when Jordan Lewis, I think the only guy I would
Speaker 1: even think about. He's you know, he's held his own
Speaker 1: as a cornerback out there, but everybody else really has
Speaker 1: has been banged up. Xavier Woods, you know, he's showing flashes.
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be good, but he's still coming along.
Speaker 1: I think Jordan Lewis has had the most impacts so far.
Speaker 1: They've seemed pretty comfortable with him. Yeah, those are the
Speaker 1: two guys I had written down. I had Lewis and
Speaker 1: Xavier Woods. I don't think you've seen enough of Xavier
Speaker 1: to actually give him a hundred Zeke walking back out
Speaker 1: of the courthouse, Um, I don't think he's had enough
Speaker 1: reps to see what he's got. Louis Us, I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna wind up being a really good guy. He
Speaker 1: just needs more playing time. And you know Cheetah would
Speaker 1: be probably be in that conversation. Get on the field
Speaker 1: and stay on the fields. Sounds like oh oh oh
Speaker 1: all right. And then the last one, who is your
Speaker 1: unsung hero of this team so far? Somebody that that
Speaker 1: goes out there and does their job and you just
Speaker 1: never really you don't hear anything good about him. You
Speaker 1: don't hear anything about bad about him. They fly under
Speaker 1: the radar, but you think does a really good job
Speaker 1: on the field. I got two people on this I
Speaker 1: got and one is a recent guy. Uh, I want
Speaker 1: to you know, we talked about two of them, uh,
Speaker 1: the kicker, the partner and the especial in the show
Speaker 1: and a long snapper. That's one group for me, the
Speaker 1: one that's one group of guy they all go together
Speaker 1: and other guys. Malik Collins moved to the one technique
Speaker 1: and you know he like since camp. Yeah, he's he's
Speaker 1: got it. He's got to suck it up. Now. It's different,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you it's different. When you go on that
Speaker 1: one technique, you got centers and guards pounding on your
Speaker 1: all the time, and he's fighting through a foot injury.
Speaker 1: Keep it up, big fella. What exactly is a one technique?
Speaker 1: Right over the center? You heads up on the center
Speaker 1: almost every play, so you're a helmet to helmet, helmet
Speaker 1: to helmet. Sometimes you're shading a little bit two inches
Speaker 1: this way, three inches that way, but you don't know
Speaker 1: what's going to hit him. And what's a two and
Speaker 1: a three technique? Three techniques when you're on the outside
Speaker 1: of either guard. A two technique is head up to
Speaker 1: the guard. Okay, so yeah, inside the out? Yeah, what's
Speaker 1: the undertackle? The undertackle is when you when it's the
Speaker 1: weak side and you slide down like it's no tight end,
Speaker 1: and then you slide in over the guard. That's an undertackle.
Speaker 1: The overtackle is when you have a tight end and
Speaker 1: that's the strong side. You call it over. Now you
Speaker 1: become then overtackle. There you go, Kurt, right, did you
Speaker 1: learn something? Was was my favorite match? That's Kurt with
Speaker 1: his things sticking out from side, his head kind of
Speaker 1: out there, Kurt, who's your own son? Guy? I'll go
Speaker 1: with um. He putn't so unsung recently, but I think
Speaker 1: Terrence Williams has done a good job this year. Him
Speaker 1: and he takes some criticism here and there. He had
Speaker 1: a bad drop with the he turned into the pick. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think overall he's he's been a number two. It's
Speaker 1: what you expect on him. He's not gonna light it up.
Speaker 1: But I think he's been him feeling pretty well with
Speaker 1: when they've been covering Bryant. So I would go with
Speaker 1: him on the offense. On the defense, is Scandric gunsung, No,
Speaker 1: he's hanging in there. Isn't hanging in there. He's hanging
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I put a picture up of
Speaker 1: him on Instagram last night on the Cowboys Instagram, and
Speaker 1: there was nothing but shade being thrown at him. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, do you guys watch the game like he
Speaker 1: is having a decent years? What about him? Like he
Speaker 1: was because he got that constant chump on his shoulder
Speaker 1: and you don't know when to turn it off. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you got to turn it off. And probably that they're
Speaker 1: still bad about that play at the end of the
Speaker 1: first half. That's what I was, that he was the
Speaker 1: most obvious guy who missed. I mean he was just
Speaker 1: standing in front of him and got juked. Crawford's another
Speaker 1: guy's playing pretty well. Yeah, yeah, oh good, great call, brother, Ye,
Speaker 1: great call. And that goes back to the bottle. Was
Speaker 1: the most hated guy on the defense is Tyrone Crawford
Speaker 1: cause of the money. The most hated guy on offenses.
Speaker 1: Cost of the money real and he took less than
Speaker 1: he could have. Yeah, I'm gonna go with I wrote
Speaker 1: three names down. Chris Jones was one of them. Um.
Speaker 1: Damien Wilson was another, just because he's always around the
Speaker 1: ball on special teams and I think he's done a
Speaker 1: pretty solid job in a backup role. Um, But I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with Jonathan Cooper. Man, you know, it's a
Speaker 1: good one. He started off kind of shaky, and I
Speaker 1: don't think it's a coincidence that once he was cemented
Speaker 1: as the starting guy in that position that, you know,
Speaker 1: the running games kind of started clicking, the passing game
Speaker 1: started clicking, the offense started clicking. You know. Maybe he
Speaker 1: just needed the confidence of Hey that you're our guy,
Speaker 1: let's go, You're gonna be here every week. And you
Speaker 1: hadn't really heard his name called a lot. So that's
Speaker 1: that's who my guy is. What you say, I like
Speaker 1: it all right? So man, you name one nothing with
Speaker 1: sir Douglas huh no, no, we got it. He's balls. Okay,
Speaker 1: balls on our table. That's that's what we got. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: we'll talk. I'm talking about Douglas's ball when we come
Speaker 1: back on hanging with the boys to work this big

Speaker 1: need somebody to interpret me. Yeah, he's got this what
Speaker 1: are you doing? And I'm like, Nate's just gonna look
Speaker 1: at you with his mouth open. I'll have to I'll
Speaker 1: have to interpret for you because I can barely understand it. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so we gonna have it. So those are the four.
Speaker 1: We don't know exactly when, but now when we can
Speaker 1: put almost we can do it whenever, whenever, whenever Douglas
Speaker 1: gets it together. We yeah, we can bring him on
Speaker 1: any show. We'll make time for all that stuff. Also,
Speaker 1: Douglas has to go do the research and get cuts
Speaker 1: from Gilmer. Oh yes, yes, oh my god, Gilman, y'all
Speaker 1: have to hear he is a statement maker. You know
Speaker 1: what you could do. You could almost put a montage
Speaker 1: of just you don't even have to get the answers,
Speaker 1: just the questions, like one right after the other. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: because at the end is gonna be okay, that's all
Speaker 1: I'm getting as the questions or the statements. Case maybe
Speaker 1: Oh man, all right, let's do uh, let's do over
Speaker 1: under today. Ready, we still got what we still got
Speaker 1: to do that you pencil whippers. You not give us
Speaker 1: good overs and honors. You give us the obvious. I
Speaker 1: give y'all great over under. Okay, we'll see you just
Speaker 1: choose that. We're gonna take a vote. If you don't
Speaker 1: do good this week for us the over under of
Speaker 1: what you're asking, we gotta get rid of you and
Speaker 1: get give it to Kurt. Hey, Hurt's the one that
Speaker 1: did the terrible Remember we got him all right when
Speaker 1: Kurt did it. From Shannon's point of view, he's serving
Speaker 1: those up on a platter because you guys keep beating him.
Speaker 1: M hm, he's shop beat him every week. Anyway. I'll
Speaker 1: show you this after our writing, John said, you don't
Speaker 1: think pencil whipping him? All right? I know, but I
Speaker 1: don't even know why we do this because we know
Speaker 1: what Nate's gonna guess every week. I mean, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be what the Cowboys need to do, need to happen
Speaker 1: to win. Matt Ryan two hundred and fifty yards passing.
Speaker 1: Let me guess, Nate, we need him to go under. Oh,
Speaker 1: I gotta wait and time. See what you say on
Speaker 1: the running because you gotta have a two running backs
Speaker 1: and you got it's this overenuners should not be just
Speaker 1: four or five. This overenuners should be This offense can
Speaker 1: be deadly. They went from scoring what thirty four points
Speaker 1: a game down to twenty one. But they truly have
Speaker 1: the ability to get thirty four points. They almost threw
Speaker 1: for four almost last year. Check the offense. It hovered
Speaker 1: around four hundred yards a game. So that's what scares me.
Speaker 1: You know, pretty much the same offense. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: was doing some research today. I was reading the Atlanta
Speaker 1: newspaper and they said that the Falcon's offense is third
Speaker 1: in the league with the most explosive plays, but they're
Speaker 1: also third in the league with most dropped passage. Yes,
Speaker 1: they are man so and explosive plays are runs over
Speaker 1: eleven yards passes over fifty and they've got like something
Speaker 1: like seventy seven. You can go over with that, right then,
Speaker 1: See it won't be enough. Yeah, they're still racking up
Speaker 1: three hundred and seventy two yards games per game. But
Speaker 1: if he go unto that day in troubles, I'm going under.
Speaker 1: Nate's going they go on to two fifth because he
Speaker 1: gonna get two fifty. That that's a you that's under. Okay, alright,
Speaker 1: I'm the tackle. They're gonna play from behind, and so
Speaker 1: he'll get over. He's going over. I'm gonna go over
Speaker 1: as well. Oh that's a good thought. And they ain't
Speaker 1: thinking like a football player. He thought like a football player.
Speaker 1: That's a good thought. Good thought, Kurt, No, what you
Speaker 1: going over? I've been doing this show for four months.
Speaker 1: Kurt finally had a good thought. Yeah, I'm going over.
Speaker 1: I'm going over, all right, Julio Jones over under one
Speaker 1: hundred receiving yards. We need I need him under. I
Speaker 1: need him to have a bad days going under. Kurt, Uh,
Speaker 1: all right, we'll go over, going over. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: over as well. I think he's got a good matchup again.
Speaker 1: See the thing about it when when you as explosive
Speaker 1: is this team. It's hard to choose because they got
Speaker 1: to two running backs. If either one of them rush
Speaker 1: one hundred yards you you could be in some dangerous trouble. Man.
Speaker 1: Uh Cowboys sacks two and a half over we need that.
Speaker 1: I'm going over. I'm gonna go over as well because
Speaker 1: I'm like Kurt. I think there they might play from behind,
Speaker 1: and there's gonna be plenty of opportunities playing behind the chains.
Speaker 1: Atlanta running game. Both backs combined one hundred twenty five
Speaker 1: yards under. Eight's going under. They boy, that could be
Speaker 1: ugly them guys. One thing I don't want them to
Speaker 1: do to them. One thing I don't want to see
Speaker 1: is them throwing throwing to them backs coming out of
Speaker 1: back field a lot. I do not want them to
Speaker 1: throw to them. Freeman and that kid Covid they are
Speaker 1: dangerous and over field. So Freeman's the one that will
Speaker 1: run over you. Coleman's the one that will run by
Speaker 1: you right, and Freeman is one that can shake you too.
Speaker 1: I mean they I'm serious, go back. They are nice, man,
Speaker 1: they are nice. I'm telling they can start. Either one
Speaker 1: of them can start. For about in twenty teams in
Speaker 1: the league easily. I'll go under. Kurt's gonna go under,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go under because I think they're gonna
Speaker 1: wind up him to throw the Okay, what you gotta
Speaker 1: over for? Oh? Yes, so sax could got you over
Speaker 1: for sacks, under on everything else, and let's go Cowboys
Speaker 1: rushing game, whether it's Zeke or the three headed monster
Speaker 1: of Alfred, Rod and Darren one hundred and twenty five
Speaker 1: yards total for Zeke or the alternative. Yeah, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: going we need over. I need over over, I need
Speaker 1: big time over. Kirt. I'll go over and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go over as well, because I think that needs to
Speaker 1: be The game plan is keep Atlanta's offense off the field,
Speaker 1: control the clock, run the key. Did you hear he
Speaker 1: just said? I think that. When has it not been
Speaker 1: a game playing in the last two years? See? Why
Speaker 1: are you gonna call me out like that? Why you
Speaker 1: gotta call me? I know I'm captain obvious. Sound good?
Speaker 1: It sounded good, sounding good until Nate goes, wait, all right,
Speaker 1: since we only have a couple of minutes left, you
Speaker 1: know what, we didn't even get to the Cowboys d
Speaker 1: versus their offense. We'll do that tomorrow. Yeah, we can
Speaker 1: get brought us. They just beat brought us up with it. Okay,
Speaker 1: that'd be good to beat him up with it. All right, Nate,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys win this game if they're hitting on all cylinders.
Speaker 1: All right, And I'm Captain obvious. I was gonna get
Speaker 1: some See you just blew Derek's text right there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you were dropping knowledge cylinders. Kurt, this is probably obvious too.
Speaker 1: But turnovers, I mean that's uh, it's high powered as
Speaker 1: Atlanta's offense has been, and they've been pretty uh they're
Speaker 1: what negative four in the turnover yeah, battle negative four
Speaker 1: they haven't been. But last year again, they were pretty
Speaker 1: good in that department. Seven interceptions, so we need to
Speaker 1: uh maybe more how many interceptions? He asks, But I
Speaker 1: think seventeen eleven, seventeen and eleven. Uh, it's like that
Speaker 1: every game. No, uh, Garrett, who I went to see
Speaker 1: you today? Talking? Okay, all right, I like this part. Yeah.
Speaker 1: He said that's the number one stat, turnovers, number one
Speaker 1: stat as far they live. He lives, he lives by
Speaker 1: that stat. Yeah, so I'll take the low hanging fruit,
Speaker 1: Captain Obvious. All right, I'm gonna say the Cowboys win
Speaker 1: if they have over one hundred and fifty total yards
Speaker 1: on the ground, because that means that Atlanta's offense has
Speaker 1: been off the field, and that also means they are
Speaker 1: playing with the lead and trying to blame. Then I win.
Speaker 1: Ryan has seven interceptions, You're right, yeah, have any touchdowns seventeen?
Speaker 1: So wait a minute, Matt Ryan has seven interceptions this
Speaker 1: season and let eight games, they're four and four. Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott has eight interceptions eight testsown that Prescott eight interceptions
Speaker 1: in his career. You're going in total package. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: that's impressive. Okay, last question, if Falcons win, if what
Speaker 1: Kurt Falcons win. Yes, they can get that offense rolling,
Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna be hard to shut down there.
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna get some yards in the air.
Speaker 1: Just don't want the big plays and they're a big
Speaker 1: playoff limit the big plays, kind of like they did
Speaker 1: against Casey last week. Right, Yes, Nate Falcons win. If
Speaker 1: Cowboys Cowboys, I'm gonna say the say the Cowboys lose,
Speaker 1: I'm will say the Falcons win. And this goes back
Speaker 1: to kind of back to Kurt Facon wins as Cowboys
Speaker 1: win the Cowboys, I mean the cop stop. The Falcons
Speaker 1: win if they if they win the turnover battle because
Speaker 1: they've been is gonna because if stadium is leaking, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to stay dry. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I haven't even looked, just kind of like this show.
Speaker 1: I give up. We were you know what, this was
Speaker 1: a great show. We had Anthony Hitchins, he had a
Speaker 1: great story. We talked about him after Nate was dropping knowledge.
Speaker 1: We gave our mid mid season MVP Awards, which I
Speaker 1: thought everybody had valid points and good football points. And
Speaker 1: then y'all just drove this thing right off in the
Speaker 1: wheels fell off, didn't they? Yep, all started with the
Speaker 1: Cowboys win because the Cowboys all started with Douglas's ball
Speaker 1: on our tables. Wow, Kurt, thanks for showing up. Hey,
Speaker 1: thanks for bringing it as always. Good. Good grab on
Speaker 1: hitch great grab Douglas. Congratulations. When I said that, oh
Speaker 1: every drop was good? Is that a penetration one? That
Speaker 1: one was awesome? From behind? Nice penetration? Oh my god, can't.
Speaker 1: Here's the full This gives the context behind nice penetration
Speaker 1: by Keith Rivers. So not any your evil genius. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thanks for doing what you're doing. We will have Brian
Speaker 1: brought us to kick us off tomorrow the first fifteen minutes,
Speaker 1: and then we'll take your phone calls Friday on Hanging
Speaker 1: with the Boys. This has been a production of Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
