There's some things that are 39 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: a little bit different than things we're still adapting to, 40 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: but compared to last year, things are on their way 41 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: back to normal.

But I will be here frequently to check 58 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: in a few times a week just see what's going on. 59 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I really like what I saw. Like to 60 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: be able to get this close to the team, as 61 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: you talked about, we've been locked down for like a 62 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: year some change. We really hadn't been able to get 63 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: to them and touch them and get a feel for 64 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: what they're doing. It was exciting to see them practicing, 65 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: to see the cowboys practicing, and to really get a 66 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,839 Speaker 1: feel for I would say this new era with Mike 67 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: McCarthy teaming up with Dan Quinn and those guys kind 68 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: of putting their own stamp on the team. Did what 69 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: did you see? This is the talent is to my right. 70 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: I just try to keep the thing in between the ditches. 71 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: This is where all the insight and the good stuff. 72 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: So I'm going to educate myself during this show. Okay, 73 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: first day of training camp, no pads, no real you don't. 74 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: We won't really see anything till Saturday, right when when 75 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: the hitting starts. The good stuff. But what stuff? What 76 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: can you take away from today? Just seeing the guys 77 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: out there together? What are you looking for? Bucky? Well one, 78 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: I just want to see the Christmas of everything, Like 79 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: everything that you talk about in OTAs. You're putting all 80 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: the stuff in. You got the xs and o's in 81 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: and all that other stuff, but it doesn't become real 82 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: until you get the training camp. Before then you just 83 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: kind of practicing and kind of experiment and seeing what 84 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: you like. But then you have that long period where 85 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 1: they went away for for six weeks. Now they're back. 86 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: They got the playbook refine and you see it. And 87 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: the thing that you want to see immediately are they sharp? 88 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: Are they Chris? Did the guys look like they're in shape? 89 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: Because everyone has been away? And I would say first sight, 90 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: they look pretty good in terms of just the way 91 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: they're moving. All eyes were on number four, Dak Prescott, right, 92 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: So you want to see what does Dak Prescott look? 93 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 1: How's the ball coming out of his hands? More importantly, 94 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: how does he move around? And what the cowboys doing? 95 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if you check this out, Nate, it 96 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: seemed like they were doing a whole lot of bootlegs. Yeah, 97 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: a lot more bootlegs than we had seen from them. 98 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 1: And he was getting on the move and the perimeter. 99 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: You like that. So that tells me he has a 100 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: lot of confidence in his ankle, and they obviously have 101 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: a lot of confidence and where he is with his athleticism, 102 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: you know. And but Bucky, I know that you you 103 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: you do a great job of watching things. But I 104 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: was stuck today. Are you in the trenches? Yeah? I 105 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 1: was stuck. You know where he's going the first day 106 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: he's the big look for the big guys. I didn't 107 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:57,119 Speaker 1: even somebody said, oh, it was daking a bad pass. 108 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: That's how that's expected. You know, he's not gonna be sharp. 109 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: And they said, what are you looking at. I'm something 110 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: looking at number seventy one. I'm looking at Lyle Collins. 111 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: I don't know how much weight he's lost slimmed up, 112 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: but he's quick, he looks good. Like you said, it 113 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: was crisp. He was snapping. I mean, I watched several guys, 114 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: but the one guy that kind of just got him 115 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: off the off the gun was Gregory. But that's you know, 116 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: you know, he's not been well a whole year, so 117 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: he was Chris. You knew the president and that Zack 118 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: Martin was Chris. But then I would low manage him. 119 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: I know that's weird in football, but it's nowhere in 120 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: the world. If I could, if the Cowboys are blowing 121 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: somebody out, why you know you wanted there at the 122 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: end of the season. I want him there at the 123 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: end of the season. But first day they were Chris. 124 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: I don't know what they're doing. I don't know if 125 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: they're in this CrossFit thing or whatever, but I noticed 126 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: that Tyren Smith decided the interview with the shirt off. 127 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and you know, Nate, I mean, I'm being 128 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: honest with you, I ain't really trying to see them, 129 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,239 Speaker 1: them big uglies put my shirt off. He built, he's 130 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: built differently. When he is cut up, he is he 131 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: looks like a different and you keep hearing him say 132 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: this is the best shape that I've ever been in. 133 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: And man, look the work that he's put in certainly 134 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: is reflected in the way that his body is. Because 135 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: when you see a three hundred pounds man that has abs, 136 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: that's that's a whole other level. You know. You know 137 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: what man you ever have as in your career? Yeah? Yeah, 138 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: I did it like a thirty pack I'm telling When 139 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: I first saw him, ever and I looked at him, 140 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: I said, wow, man's nice defensive linement. I see, I see. 141 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: Did we draft him? They're like, Nate, that's the kid 142 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: we've been telling you about from USC that's Tyrone. I 143 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: watered to him and saying, man, I hate you. I 144 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: had to get out in the two hundred and forty 145 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: pounds before I had just one of the le dude 146 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: walk around three hundred pounds like that. Man, Yeah, and 147 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: this he has at looked like that since his rookie year. 148 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: I mean just tightening something. Oh, I mean it was 149 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: really tight and compacted until you talk about him and 150 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: Lell Collins coming back, yes, and then you think about 151 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: Zach Martin, Yes, returning. So now you begin to talk 152 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: about this offense and what the potential could be, particularly 153 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: number four behind her. Yeah, oh man, it looks good. 154 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: And then it must have been a memo that circulated 155 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: because Zeki Elliott also looked like he was feeding trim. 156 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: You see that video of him on social media with 157 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: the shirt off. Yeah, just watching him walk around and 158 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: you see him making sure he takes it twenty five 159 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: yards past the line of scrimmage every time motivated. Look, 160 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: it's day one, but day one, they checked off a 161 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: lot of boxes in terms of passing the eyeball test. Coach, 162 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: let me tell you something. I called back to our 163 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: old old show, hanging with the boys, and on our 164 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,719 Speaker 1: old show, it's still our show, still our show. On 165 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: Zeke lover right, Zeke went to deep right, they handled 166 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 1: it all going to deep, stopping on his spent back 167 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: and went left. Yeah, and everybody went crazy. And at 168 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: that time I was on I said, boy, Zeke, Zeke's 169 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: back y'all. Zeke's full of blast and the office line 170 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: is intact, and you know they stopped hating on me. Though. 171 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: Is there something you got Liel that looks like he's 172 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: in the best shape of his life. You got Tiring 173 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: that looks like a beast. Zeke looks like he's back 174 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:26,319 Speaker 1: physically to his college days. Yes. Is there's something about 175 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: everybody's showing up in shape and these are all the 176 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: veteran guys, these are the guys that all the new 177 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: guys are looking up to. Is there something maybe that's 178 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: clicked with their mentality and they realize, we gotta do 179 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 1: this now pride. It was embarrassing for the team at 180 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: time last year. Defensively they couldn't stop anybody for the 181 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: majority of the season. Offensively, they never really found their stride. 182 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 1: Zeke had a very disappointing year by his standards. I mean, 183 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: even am Mark Cooper didn't necessarily play to that standard 184 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: that we're customed seeing to play. Some of that is 185 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: due to the quarterback issues, but yeah, the pe when 186 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: you finished the way that they finished last year, you 187 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: knew Mike McCarthy and everybody everyone is own notice got 188 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 1: to pick up the play got to perform to the standard. 189 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: And so it's a new year and they can look 190 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,719 Speaker 1: around the NFC and see the the NFC East is 191 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 1: right there for him. They can take the NFC is 192 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: East if they do what they're supposed to do. I 193 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: think that gives them a chance. And look, when you 194 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 1: think about Tampa Bay going from what seven and nine 195 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 1: to then being a Super Bowl champion, I think that 196 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: also gives some optimism to the team. Hey, we can 197 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: turn around quickly in the year. We could be in 198 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 1: that conversation, who's their biggest competition in the East? You 199 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: think going into the season, you know it's tough because 200 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: if you talk about all the quarterbacks, I mean, Dak 201 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: Prescott would rank the top. I would say the Washington 202 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 1: football team, to me, is the best because I think 203 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: they have the best defense. Everyone will talk about the 204 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: Giants and the weapons. I'm just not convinced that their 205 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: weapons are exactly what some would say they are. I 206 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: still think they have a ways to go, and I 207 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: don't necessarily trust the quarterback in a battle and a 208 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: shootout in the fourth quarter. Is Daniel Jones going to 209 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: be able to make enough plays to get them over 210 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 1: the line? Who do you like who you like? Nate? 211 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 1: You like the great minds, man, great minds, think of 212 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: life and see. You know what I love about Miss 213 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: Brooks is they didn't he mentioned Philadelphia. Don't even know 214 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: who heels. People say that's bad groundmar eels. They don't 215 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: know who they eels. Okay, so I'm with you one 216 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: hundred ditto ditto to the game, baby, it's it's the 217 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 1: Washington football team. In their defense. The difference is the 218 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: guy that they had playing quarterback before Alex Smith, was 219 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: gonna take care of the ball. Yes, sir, Ryan Fitzpatrick 220 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: is a double agent. He's gonna give them something, but 221 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: he also gonna give you something. And so it just 222 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: depends on which Ryan Fitzpatrick shows up each week to 223 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: determine whether they're gonna win. Because defensively their top notch. 224 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: It's offensively they want more. But in trying to get more, 225 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: they're also taking more risks because he is going to 226 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: throw the ball to the other team. Speaking of throwing 227 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: the ball to the other team, Nate will start with 228 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: you what scared to ask this question? What is your 229 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: expectation out of this defense? Our defense? Our defense, the 230 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: Cowboys defense. The first six weeks, none learn the defense. 231 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: I hope coach Quinn get in there and give them 232 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: some momentum. Joe Witt, I hope they teach these guys. Uh, 233 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: Coach Edwards Jordan, teach these guys the technique, don't overwhelm them, 234 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 1: put them in the right spot, and let them run 235 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: to the football. Those first six weeks, just maintain, get better, 236 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: a live it each week. By the seventh and eighth week, 237 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: I'm expecting for them to make leaps and bounds. So 238 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: you're not panicking the first six We're dealing with free 239 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: agents and rookies. We should be starting several rookies this year, 240 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,559 Speaker 1: not not wondering what they're gonna do. In practice, they 241 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: are practicing with the first scene, not wondering, Okay, when 242 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: do I put him in in the third game. No, 243 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: he's supposed to be in the first game, So we 244 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: gotta take some chances. On defense. Coach Johnson did it 245 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: with us. He just said, you know what, I gotta 246 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: scrap this defense. If you can let Randy White goal, 247 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: you can let a whole lot of people go. So 248 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: he let Randy White go, and then we just went 249 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: to a whole new defense and boom. He let these 250 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: guys play. You drafted them, and there they are. There. 251 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: The only guy that's gonna be missing and it's gonna 252 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: hurt him. It is Tristian Hill. Everybody else is his 253 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: full goal now. The one thing that stood up to 254 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: being watching practice, dan Quinn is trying to kiss the defense, 255 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: meaning he wants to keep it simple stupid. When you 256 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: look at them, they're playing what I would call high 257 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: school coverage, high school fronts, things that allowed them to 258 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: play fast on the grass. It looked like the defense 259 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 1: was playing fast and there were a lot of young 260 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: guys that were in there flying to the ball, running 261 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: to the ball, doing some things. That's it as simple 262 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: as I would say that it is. He did have 263 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: a little creativity. I noticed that Michael Parsons, Jaylen Smith, 264 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: and Layden Vander Eshwood on the field. I noticed that 265 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: there were times where Jalalen Smith had his hand in 266 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: the dirt as a defensive end. When they went to 267 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: a little bit of a bare front. They had Kean 268 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: O'Neill coming in and doing something so as simple as 269 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: the coverage around him. Maybe I think he's trying to 270 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: put the complexity in the fronts and how they attacked 271 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: the offensive line by using different fronts, different packages, but 272 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: keeping the umbrella behind it pretty much the same. And 273 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: you know what, you know what good teams, Bucky, I 274 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: don't a lot of people don't agree with me with that. 275 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: Good teams can take the players that they have and 276 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: line them up in different places and you will think 277 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: looking for that mismatch, not so much to confuse other team, 278 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: but to get them the better, the better players, player 279 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: on player. And I think that's what coach Quinn is 280 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: gonna do because when he had that thing running in Seattle, 281 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: and even with his early time with Atlanta, he didn't 282 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: do a lot of whole lot of package change, but 283 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: a lot of players moved around. What what would you do, Bucky, 284 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: with this linebacker core that they have. Now we had 285 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: some fans ask us out there and Nate and I 286 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: do this little show before practice, ask us, what do 287 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: you do? You got Parsons in the mix, You got 288 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: Jabril Cox in the mix. I think everybody's really excited 289 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: about those young guys. Then you got Jalen that hadn't been, 290 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: you know, living up the expectations. You got Layton that's 291 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: had some injury issues. And then you got a bunch 292 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: of role players that are in the mix as well. 293 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: What would you do or what do you expect the 294 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: Cowboys to do with this linebacker Corse? Well, based on 295 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: what they're showing, they're trying to find roles for everybody, 296 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: and I think dan Quinn is gonna stand in front 297 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: of the defense and team meetings and say, hey, be 298 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: a star in your role whatever their role is. Some weeks, 299 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: your role have may have greater importance and greater priority 300 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: based on what the game plan is against the team 301 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: that we're playing. All the weeks, you may not see 302 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: as many snaps, so so everyone is going to have 303 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: to sacrifice a little bit. I think the big thing 304 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: how are they going to utilize Michael Parsons. Michael Parsons 305 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: is the most dynamic and explosive athlete that they have 306 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: on their roster the linebacker position. He is someone who 307 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: can enhance their pass for us. We've seen that. We've 308 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: seen what he's been able to do when he comes 309 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: off the edge. He even said it after practice. I've 310 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: been working with linebackers and pass rushers doing individual There's 311 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: a plan in place for them to upgrade the pass 312 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: rush by utilizing number eleven. The wild card of the 313 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: unit to me is number nine, Jalen Smith. Which one 314 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: is going to show up? Because if the good one 315 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: shows up, the Pro Bowl caliber player that showed up 316 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, oh, that's the one that 317 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: we want to see. But if the guy from the 318 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: last couple of years they were kind of lilligag and 319 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: not running to the ball, that one can't help. And 320 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: I think you'll find himself on the bench if they 321 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: can get him to play in leyden NDEs to remain healthy. 322 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: All this linebacker corps could be a problem. It's just 323 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: a matter of the unknowns. Who is going to show 324 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: up and how are they going to play? So let 325 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: me Jabriel, you can't man less you what did this 326 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: guy start to flash? I think it's a good problem, 327 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: the problem to have. Yeah, I think I think is 328 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: a good problem to have. My deal is what are 329 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: you doing with it? Nate? What are you doing if 330 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: he starts to flash? I don't like a I don't 331 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: like me personally. I know it's a new NFL and 332 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: it's about packages. I like certain players on the field 333 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: all the time, like marcul Parsons never I don't care 334 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: if his pomp return. Okay, you we got to find 335 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: a place for you. Certain guys I don't want to fit. 336 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: If this guy can be the Parsons that they think 337 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: he can be, I never want him off the field. 338 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,479 Speaker 1: Like Layton his rookie here, I never wanted him off 339 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 1: the field, Jalen, I never. I never want good players 340 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: off the field. And that's what I'm looking for from Parsons. 341 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: And and I'm thinking in my mind, who is the 342 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: next guy? Well, I mean, I think this is Parsons. 343 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: If he understands it, if the game isn't too fast 344 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,959 Speaker 1: for he has to see him the field. He has 345 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 1: to be a three down player. I think that's their intent, 346 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 1: especially if you can put him opposite Randy Gregory times 347 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: and maybe kick down to Marcus Lawrence and do some 348 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: creative things to get those three guys on the field 349 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: hunting the quarterback. I like that. I think the bigger 350 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: thing that dan Quinn has to assess is where's Jaylen 351 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: Smith right now in his career in terms of his 352 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: ability to produce big plays. Is he athletic enough to 353 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: be on the field, or do we have to take 354 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 1: him off to feel on third down. That then creates 355 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: an opportunity for Cox Cox what do you do with him? 356 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: And then Keyan O'Neil was put at week side linebacker 357 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: for a reason. That is dan Quinn's guy, So what 358 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: is the role. He didn't come just to occupy a 359 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: seat on the bench. So there's some bigger plan in place. 360 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 1: We just have to figure out how do the puzzle 361 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,360 Speaker 1: pieces fit together. Dan Quinn mentioned him a couple of times. 362 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: Tell Cowboys fans, what are we getting with dan Quinn 363 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: and what should we expect? What's the expectation with him 364 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: in charge of the defense. Well, the expectation is if 365 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: you had a chance to watch him today on the 366 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: practice field. Man, he's a coach, he's a teacher. I 367 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: don't know how other guys did it before, if they 368 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: stood in front of the elector and then just talked 369 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: about philosophy. Dan Quinn likes to put his feet in 370 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: the grass. He was down there working with the D 371 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: lineman more so. You typically don't see de coordinators that involved. 372 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: There's one thing to be around the position group. It's 373 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: another thing to be leading the D line individual drills, 374 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: which is what he was doing. Then after practice, spending 375 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: one on one time with Michael Parsons on the grass 376 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: going through some things, talking about pass us, pass rush 377 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: techniques and those things. He is a teacher who is 378 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: going to teach beyond just the premise in the philosophy 379 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: of the defense. He is going to work with the 380 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,439 Speaker 1: technique when it comes to the front seven, and we 381 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 1: know it. The better the front seven, the better the 382 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: secondary because the front seven effects the back end more 383 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: than the back end can effect the front seven. If 384 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,479 Speaker 1: they can get the front seven right where they can 385 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: dominate in the trenches, oh, the defense becomes much easier 386 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: for everybody involved. Nate as a player, buy Bucky mentioned 387 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 1: he's a hands on guy. As a player, Does that 388 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: mean more to you when a coordinator or a coach 389 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 1: gets in there with you and he's and he's hands 390 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: on with you rather than just talking at you, he's 391 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: talking too with you. Or does it does it really 392 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: matter as a player. A lot of people talk about 393 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: watching film and importance of watching film. You get a 394 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: guy his hands on and watch that means he watching you. 395 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 1: But now, as a defensive offensive coordinate, you can't watch 396 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: each individual guy while you out there on the field. 397 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 1: That means that coach Quinn is watching film of not 398 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: other teams per se, but of his players. What can 399 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: we do to help this guy get better? If he 400 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: can do this, that's see, can he do this? So 401 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: he's while he's working with these guys and teach him, 402 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: he's tweaking and he's tweaking in his mind his defense too. Okay, yeah, 403 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 1: he can't do it totally what we need him do, 404 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: but he can do this. So when you take a 405 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 1: coach that take a personal interest in you and your abilities, 406 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: ain't nothing like it. Man ain't nothing like it. And 407 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: then if you have success and what he's teaching you 408 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 1: to bond is boy, it's unbreakable. It is unbreakable. And 409 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: that's part of the reason why simplicity really allows you 410 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: to do that, because when you're so simple in what 411 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: you do from a schematic standpoint, then you spend all 412 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: of your time devoted to improving and refining the techniques 413 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: and then trying to plug and play the right players 414 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,439 Speaker 1: to play the defense the way that you wanted. And 415 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: so the quicker that the guys can master this scheme, 416 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 1: the more that they can do the detailed things to 417 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: become better players. And I think that is the thing 418 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: that we're seeing. Let me ask this question. Okay, when 419 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: you talking about on the back end, what explain to 420 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: us is just layman, what are we looking at? We're 421 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: looking at two deep safeties, coroner's up, what are Cona's back? 422 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: What are we looking at? So it's funny because like, 423 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 1: depending on how you feel about the Rod Marinelli, Christopher 424 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: shard Era, some of those same things are going to 425 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: reappear in this defense. The difference will be where Rob 426 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: Marionelli really love Tampa two too deep safeties, hard corners, 427 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: rolled up, force four men, rush, forced the quarterback to 428 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: throw checkdowns, rally and chase the ball. This is more 429 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: of a three deep concept from Dan Quinn. He wants 430 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: to have a safety always in the post, not allowing 431 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: that we remember last year in the Seattle Seahawks game, 432 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett running free down the middle 433 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: of field. They want to close the post and not 434 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: allow the middle of the field to be open. They're 435 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 1: gonna play cover three and cover one, meaning they're gonna 436 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,640 Speaker 1: play a three deep zone four underneath spot dropping eyes 437 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: on the quarterback reading and reacting to the ball was thrown, 438 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: and they can put a premise on effort and energy. 439 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: Rod Mary Nelly Christi Shot talked about that they're gonna 440 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: play man to man on the outside cat defense. You 441 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 1: got that cat, I got that cat. We're gonna lock 442 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: up and play maybe a little blitzing with that. And 443 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: so it allows the players to know exactly what I 444 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 1: have on every play. There's not a lot of complexity 445 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: and ambiguity in terms of ay, well if he goes here, Nope, 446 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: this is where we're in. We're playing. We know exactly 447 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: how to play, and we work on those other routs. 448 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,360 Speaker 1: I like it. I like it all right. Let's take 449 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: our first break. Might take two, might take one. We 450 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: might go for thirty minutes, we might go for an hour. 451 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: We don't really know. But I'm learning. I'm learning, and 452 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: I want to continue learning. So we will take a 453 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: break and we will come back. This is camping out. 454 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: Shannon Gross, Nate Newton, Bucky Brooks will be back in 455 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 1: what about two and a half minutes, hang with us. 456 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: Before there was a draft, you could size up a 457 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 1: cowboy by three simple factors.

You wouldn't have to drive very 510 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,239 Speaker 1: far to go to that, Bucky wouldn't nominate today At 511 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys dot com slash Fan of the Year, which 512 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: our own William Boykins built that page that you can 513 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: go sign up on today, So go check that out. 514 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: All right, Fellas we talked about the defense, we talked 515 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: about coach Quinn. Question I have for you. We'll start 516 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,239 Speaker 1: with you on this one, Bucky, How the hell are 517 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 1: defense is going to cover this offense? It's many problem. 518 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 1: I mean we saw there was a problem last year 519 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: despite the defensive walls, because the defensive walls really took 520 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: away from us being able to appreciate how good the 521 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: offense was playing with Dak Prescott. When Dak Prescott injured, 522 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,239 Speaker 1: he was averaging fortune twenty two passing yards per game. 523 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: That's a ridiculous production. And then even though Zeke was 524 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,199 Speaker 1: having an off year, when you think about the return 525 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: of Laa Collins, Thomas Smith, Zack Martin being able to 526 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: line up an eleven person, nail one back, one tight end, 527 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: three wide receivers and really force the defense to declare, 528 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: who are we trying to stop and who are we 529 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: going to double team on offense? Are we trying to 530 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: stop the run? Well, now you got one on one 531 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 1: with everyone on the outside. If you're intending to stop 532 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: to pass, then you got a light box and Zeke 533 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: Elliott can find his way if you're trying to fudge 534 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: the defense where you're trying to play in the box 535 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: and take away of Mary Cooper Well, Michael Gallup and 536 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb. So the options are available for the Cowboys 537 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 1: to attack in a variety of ways, and it appears 538 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 1: that they've done some tweaking to their approach that will 539 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 1: allow it to be even easier with some of this 540 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: misdirection passing game where they can use more play action, 541 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: more deception, more misdirection to create even bigger plays down 542 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: the field. How you covering them, Nate? They scoring fifty 543 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,679 Speaker 1: a game. I told you, man, I'm telling you. And 544 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: I hate to use these references because I don't like 545 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Bucks. I don't like Yann, but you gotta 546 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 1: build a wall. How could you not like Yas? He's 547 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 1: one of the best guys in the league. I'm a 548 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: I'm a Celtics fan, and it's nowhere in the world 549 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna ever love anybody that's in that So forget Yann. 550 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: But he's a good dude. He seems like a good 551 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: degree man. He coach Buck whatever's coach. You don't try 552 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 1: to pronounce it. Hits up to him. Say he's a 553 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: better man off the court than he is on the 554 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: corporate The whole the court kept you your job, brother. Anyway, 555 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: I love Yannis. He proved everybody wrong. But that is 556 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: what the Dallas couples offense gonna do. You're gonna have 557 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: to build a wall. I don't know how you build 558 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: that wall because he's just too many players, and you 559 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: got the right guy in number four running the show. 560 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: The officer coordinators a year older. The office line is attack. 561 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: And the worst thing in the world for the league 562 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: is that this officeve line stay healthy, this office lind 563 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: stay health. It's over all for that defense to mature. 564 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: Is this an offense the way it's constructed now, which 565 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: you got Blake Jarwin back, which is I think is 566 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: going to be a huge problem. You got Tony Pollard 567 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: using him the right ways, and then you got Zeke 568 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: and you got the wide receivers and you got the 569 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: Is this an offense that's gonna dictate the defense? I 570 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: think so. I mean I think it. I think it 571 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: asks to because no matter what we say, I mean, 572 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: I love Dak Prescott, but when number twenty one is right, 573 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: it changes the math you got. You can't go Nate 574 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: because when twenty one is right, if he's fitting trim 575 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: and he's playing at the level that we've seen him 576 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: play it in the past, now you have a problem 577 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: because now you got to play a plus one defense. 578 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: You gotta drop another defender in the box. And then 579 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: it becomes how often are we gonna roll the dice 580 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: with that, with a Marii Cooper and CD Cede Lamb 581 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: and Michael Gallop on the outside, how much one on 582 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: one do we want to play against those guys to 583 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 1: contain Zeke Because the issue was earlier, Well, it's Dak 584 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 1: Prescott good enough to beat us with his own and 585 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: he's proven over the last two years. Oh, he absolutely 586 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: can ring up big numbers in the passing game. And 587 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: so now you're like, okay, well we don't want to stop. 588 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: You want to take away the big plays in the 589 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: passing game. When else the slow drip of Ezekiel Elliott 590 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: just salting away games twenty to twenty five carries one hundred, 591 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: one hundred twenty yards. That is a problem. And with 592 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: Tony Pollard showing last year that he can get in 593 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: there and get you six to eight, eight to ten 594 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: touches and make some plays, it does become a balanced issue. 595 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: I think the bigger thing is gonna be if you're 596 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: killing more, don't make the play sheet too big, thank you, 597 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: don't make it look. I know we're not supposed to 598 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: talk about sponsors on here, but don't make it look 599 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: like a Chief Scake factory menu. I don't want all 600 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: the options own everything. Cut it down nice and tight 601 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: so you can figure out how to get the ball 602 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: to the players. And the one advice I would give him, 603 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: I'll say, hey, man, players not plays, just for me 604 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: and the pecking order of the players twenty one. Make 605 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: sure Mark Cooper gets just touches. Make sure ceede Lammy, 606 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 1: those get guys get touches. Don't worry about the designs. 607 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: Make sure we get it like them old cowboys used 608 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, Michael Irvin was gonna get his Emmett 609 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: was gonna get his no check. It was gonna be 610 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: those three and then the other guys would get there 611 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: when they get this. Keep the main thing the main thing. 612 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: Don't make it complicated. Hey, does that sound familiar? Throw 613 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 1: the ball loosing up the game and then put it 614 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: in the running back's hand and soft away the game. 615 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: At the end of that's driving down the South Dallas 616 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: and pull it over to the bobbe Que. John, They 617 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: ain't got but brisket any short rill. Okay, you know 618 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: you want some fries? Hey, we got that. Other than that, 619 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be complicated. Thank you. That's the 620 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: way you guys did it in the nineties, right, give 621 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: it to twenty two at the end of the game. 622 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: And it just I understand that offenses are wide open, 623 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: but still the playmakers are limited. The guys that can 624 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: change games are limited. A lot of times last year 625 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: we're like, why did he call this play? Yeah? Why 626 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: did why did he call this play to this guy 627 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: in this situation, you know, when you got this guy. 628 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 1: And I think Kellum has learned. I think I think 629 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: coach McCarthy has learned, Like, you know what, Yes, I 630 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: let this guy do what he needs to do. But 631 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: I think coach McCarthy and nobody said nothing to me. 632 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: I think coach mcarth said, hey, hey, we can do 633 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: a better play than that, you know. And I just 634 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: believe that, man, because I ain't never seen a coach 635 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 1: get on the hot seat out for one year and 636 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: it was a pandemic year. Yes, coach is on the 637 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: hot seat. I mean, now everybody's happy training campus over 638 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 1: now one twenty one whatever, coach on the hot seat. 639 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: Not with the ownership, the fans waiting, they're waiting and 640 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: if we don't start out right, Oh, come on, man, 641 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna eat coach McCarthy. Look, the pressure is on him, 642 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 1: The pressure is on him. The Bloomers off the road 643 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 1: blows my mind. Yeah, the bloom The bloom is off 644 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: the road. That's right. Everyone wants to know, Hey, he's 645 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: a super Bowl winning but was the success that he 646 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 1: had in Green Bay due to his play calling and 647 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 1: team management or due to Aaron Rodgers being a special player. 648 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: And so he hears all of that, and he knows 649 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: he has to do a much better coaching job this 650 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 1: year than he did last year. And so that's what 651 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: we need to see from him. Eight the hard knocks. 652 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not for hard knocks. You know, expect 653 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: like you. Look, I'm sure you can get a couple 654 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: couple of I don't care nothing about that. All I 655 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: care about it I need I need eleven wins and 656 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: and hard knocks. Is it is like the Matten deal. 657 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: I love miss Mann, but that curse will fall on you, 658 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: but that curse will follow you. You need eleven wins, 659 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 1: eleven and six. Yeah, I need eleven wins. I need 660 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: eleven wins. That's the minimum. Now, I wrote down on 661 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: the realistic chart that due to our us been the worst. 662 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: He's been the worst, you know, nineteen eleven. You know, 663 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 1: whatever it takes, because we got a bad, bad division. 664 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 1: But I just don't see us being that bad. If 665 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: this defense can mature by the six game, well, here's 666 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,320 Speaker 1: the thing about the defense. I'm gonna put more of 667 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 1: the onus on the offense. The Cowboys best defense is 668 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: their offense. Agree and so and so. The way that 669 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: they play on offense can dictate the way that Dan 670 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 1: Quinn plays on defense. And so. You talked about throwing early, 671 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: running late. The best thing that the Cowboys can do 672 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: is to be ultra aggressive in the first half with 673 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: the pass, so they now can force the opponent to 674 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: chase points, take the run game off the table for 675 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 1: the opponent, allow the pass rushes to get on the 676 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 1: field and play defense that way. Cowboys defense doesn't need 677 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: to be a top ten defense. It only needs to 678 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 1: be in the middle of the pack, not give up 679 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: big plays, not allowed the ball to fly over the head, 680 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: but allow the offense. The pressure is on the offense. 681 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 1: The offense needs to play at an a level every 682 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: week for them to win. When the offense doesn't play 683 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: at a level, it has to go to them because 684 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 1: all the money's really tied up on that side. The 685 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,919 Speaker 1: stars are on that side. The offense has to show 686 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: up each week, and if you get some contribution from 687 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: the defense, dictate tempole. I've been saying it for two 688 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: to three years. The shows that we do I need 689 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:19,280 Speaker 1: for Kellum More, coach More and Dad who did tate tempo? 690 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 1: You have the talent to dictate. Let's talk about I 691 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: mean you said it. All eyes were on four today 692 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,720 Speaker 1: a practice, All eyes are gonna be he got the money. 693 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, with the money comes the attention comes to criticism. 694 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:38,240 Speaker 1: I think Dak has taken steps every year in his career. 695 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,760 Speaker 1: He started out a little bit below middle of the pack, 696 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 1: eased his way in the middle of the pack. Now 697 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,400 Speaker 1: he's out of the middle of the pack. But I 698 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 1: think there's still some speculation. Is he an elite pastor 699 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 1: in this league? Is he in the conversation with Aaron Rodgers, 700 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, Brady Um, yeah, is he ready? He's seven 701 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: to eight? But is he is this year? Is he 702 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,800 Speaker 1: going to prove to us that he's worth that money 703 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 1: and he is an elite quarterback in the NFL? Oh? 704 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:08,840 Speaker 1: I think he's a top five player at the position. 705 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,360 Speaker 1: I think when you talk about Dak Prescott, and we 706 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: use the last two years as a sample size, see, 707 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 1: because the first couple of years, it was, oh, he's 708 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,320 Speaker 1: a game manager. They got everything around to get a 709 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 1: great offensive line, they got Zeke, they have this. All 710 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: he has to do is just manage the game. So 711 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,879 Speaker 1: then the challenge was put on him and you got 712 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,359 Speaker 1: to do more in the past game. But the last 713 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 1: couple of years we've seen him do more in the 714 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 1: passing game. He is a top five player in the 715 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 1: same vein that Russell Wilson is a top five player 716 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 1: at the position. When the Seattle Sharks are at their best, 717 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 1: they're running the ball and there's still a bit of 718 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,800 Speaker 1: a pitch count on Russell Wilson, I would say for Dallas, 719 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 1: I don't need to see Dak Prescott throw the ball 720 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 1: forty times a game. I think that sweet spot is 721 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,399 Speaker 1: thirty to thirty five, with most of those attempts coming 722 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 1: early in the game or in the fourth quarter when 723 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 1: it's got to have at time. It still needs to 724 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 1: be a team where it look just because we've paid 725 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 1: him what we paid him, it still needs to run 726 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,760 Speaker 1: through twenty one it still needs to run through twenty 727 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 1: one in the offensive line and allow him to compliment 728 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 1: whatever they do. He needs to be good enough when 729 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,839 Speaker 1: we need you, not when we have to always put 730 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 1: it on you. That's what he has to be. Hey, 731 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 1: step up and make the plays when we need it. 732 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,360 Speaker 1: But it doesn't have to be every game has to 733 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,399 Speaker 1: be all on number four. Nate. You need to call 734 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 1: Jesse and Kurt as soon as you get off. We 735 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 1: take that and you need to tell them to listen 736 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 1: to Bucky because you got a buddy. You ain't never 737 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,879 Speaker 1: let him go back to the break. You ain't never 738 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 1: let him that boy. Now I'm sitting traveling in my 739 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: mind so I can go to Derek and somebody can 740 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,279 Speaker 1: get traded. I'm just being on it. They've been that 741 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,960 Speaker 1: missed too many shows. It's gonna be a trade deadline. 742 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 1: Oh man. So you feel like dak Is is a 743 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 1: top five guy? Is he a guy that can put 744 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 1: this team on his shoulders now when they need him 745 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 1: to go run the run the field in two minute 746 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 1: and win a game. That's the only thing from keeping 747 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 1: him from being in that conversation with those those guys. Right. 748 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,479 Speaker 1: So we talked about elite being the VIP club. Right now, 749 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,279 Speaker 1: he's right behind the velvet ropes. He's waiting for the 750 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,279 Speaker 1: doorman to let him in. But everyone's like, ah, I 751 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 1: need to see a little bit more, and that more 752 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 1: has to come in the fourth quarter. We have to 753 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 1: see him. We want to see the Cowboys behind, but 754 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 1: we have to see him if they're behind by a 755 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 1: score in the fourth quarter, games on the line and 756 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,880 Speaker 1: it's gotta have it time? Can he make those gotta 757 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 1: have it places? We want to have the same feeling 758 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,440 Speaker 1: that everyone has. When Tom Brady gets the ball in 759 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 1: two minutes? What do you feel, Oh, it's over, that's 760 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,840 Speaker 1: the wrap. It's the same thing. That is the next 761 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,840 Speaker 1: level for him. When they get the ball with two minutes. 762 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: How do you feel if you're a Cowboys fan, do 763 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,279 Speaker 1: you look at it half full or half empty? Because 764 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 1: if you feel half full about it, like, oh, number 765 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,360 Speaker 1: four has it, we got two minutes left, no timehouse, 766 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. It's the same way we used to 767 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: feel way back in the day with Roger starback. Yes, sir, 768 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:01,879 Speaker 1: that's what it is. If he can do that, then 769 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 1: it's next level for him. I remember, man, we used 770 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 1: to be playing bro, and we had those games because 771 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 1: we played that we played to be either up down 772 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,960 Speaker 1: by a few points in that four minute mark, and 773 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,359 Speaker 1: we can see it in the other players eyes. We 774 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 1: can see it. Man, Troy was gonna make it necessary 775 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,880 Speaker 1: throws and we're bringing twenty two at you. You can 776 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,839 Speaker 1: see those players like ten sit up, you know, don't 777 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 1: want to make a mistake because they know it's coming, man. 778 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 1: And that's what it is. Having been on the other 779 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 1: side of those Cowboys teams, you guys doing all that 780 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:35,280 Speaker 1: clutching and holding out on the line, and playmakers slapping 781 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,880 Speaker 1: guys around and not getting calls. I know that that 782 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,400 Speaker 1: sense of desperation when the Cowboys having you just wonder 783 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,319 Speaker 1: how you're gonna do it. And I honestly believe that 784 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 1: team should be the model for how this team plays. 785 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,480 Speaker 1: So everything that Nate talks about from an experience standpoint, 786 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,360 Speaker 1: it's the same blueprint, same game play. It'll look differently 787 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 1: because of the personnel, but the same blueprint. Throw it early, 788 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 1: run it late. And the magic number for me is 789 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 1: thirty two. When the Cowboys have thirty two minutes of 790 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,319 Speaker 1: time of possession, yes, sure, they're allowing the defense to 791 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,799 Speaker 1: play fewer snaps for your opportunity. So when Nate talks 792 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,160 Speaker 1: about controlling the tempo, most people think tempo is oh, 793 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:18,879 Speaker 1: play fast, fast fast. No tempo is dictating a This week, 794 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna play a little turtle temple. We're gonna slow 795 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,720 Speaker 1: it down. We're gonna drain the clock, and we're gonna 796 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,800 Speaker 1: make the team feel the pressure of having to defend 797 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 1: the run. Other times, Hey, let's jump into it. Go 798 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,279 Speaker 1: for meet it, go fast paced, throw it all over 799 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,480 Speaker 1: the yard. Being able to dictate the tempo faster, slow, 800 00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,440 Speaker 1: depending on what the other team's offense has. That's like, 801 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,240 Speaker 1: you gotta play your offense as if you're playing defense. 802 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:45,240 Speaker 1: Tell you what if being elite the only thing holding 803 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 1: Dac back is putting this team on his shoulders when 804 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 1: he needs to. I'm not ever betting against that man 805 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 1: as a man and as a football player. He has 806 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,040 Speaker 1: overcome a lot of stuff in his life, and I 807 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,759 Speaker 1: will never bet against the guys. So my money's on, Hey, 808 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,879 Speaker 1: if that's all he needs to do, elite status, here 809 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 1: we come, here, we come, Nate. Now, you sound like 810 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,800 Speaker 1: booting holder man. I think, what man? You need a 811 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,040 Speaker 1: hug name. I love this man. What he does. I do. 812 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 1: He's a good old Louisiana boy and he's come on, 813 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,600 Speaker 1: he better just win some football game. I don't care 814 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:26,160 Speaker 1: about all the hugging and kissing. Look, man, he is 815 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 1: he is a rare player. But it's different now now, 816 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,440 Speaker 1: you know, when we get the big change in your pocket, 817 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,080 Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of pressure. And the pressure is 818 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 1: not really from outside, it's internal because it works against you. 819 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,480 Speaker 1: Because now he's a forty million dollars man. Does he 820 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,680 Speaker 1: feel the need to prove to the football world this 821 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,400 Speaker 1: is why they paid me forty million dollars? And more importantly, 822 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,000 Speaker 1: does the organization feel the need to validate and justify 823 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,480 Speaker 1: why they gave him that money. Because there's one thing 824 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,759 Speaker 1: to pay the people what they're worth from a market standpoint, 825 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,879 Speaker 1: is another thing to play him the right way so 826 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 1: they can be at their best. That's the thing that 827 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,680 Speaker 1: the Cowboys have to determine what is the best way 828 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,600 Speaker 1: to play with Dak Prescott to consistently get to the 829 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 1: winner circle. That's sweet. That that's good stuff. That that brother, 830 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 1: you you're hitting it so right on point, man, because 831 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:22,719 Speaker 1: you know the pressure from inside. You know, ownership, the 832 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 1: coaches you know, get out of character, you know, and 833 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:31,239 Speaker 1: not for themselves but for him and so Uh but 834 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:35,400 Speaker 1: do they but do do they look for something a 835 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:39,600 Speaker 1: little bit different? How do they make adjustment like we 836 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,960 Speaker 1: saw him booting out a lot a lot more today? 837 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,719 Speaker 1: You know, maybe just something that let everybody know that 838 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,759 Speaker 1: can run. But what's what's your plan? I mean, we 839 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:51,000 Speaker 1: hit the thirty two passes, the thirty three passes, is 840 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,759 Speaker 1: that where it in? Does he still run or does 841 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:57,239 Speaker 1: he not do that? Uh? I think what you want 842 00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 1: to do is like before he was he was kind 843 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,759 Speaker 1: of invincible, right, Yes, he was strong, powerful. Whenever I 844 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,239 Speaker 1: looked at Dak at Dallas in the red zone, I 845 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,440 Speaker 1: still had visions of the guy that was at Mississippi 846 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,640 Speaker 1: State putting the ball in like he could put the 847 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 1: ball in. He was great on those quarterback draws and 848 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,719 Speaker 1: those things. Well, now we've seen look he runs. He 849 00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:17,799 Speaker 1: popped his ankle, So you don't want to do it 850 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,160 Speaker 1: as much. However, I still want to use the threat 851 00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,680 Speaker 1: of the vision that's in our mind the athletic dac 852 00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:28,279 Speaker 1: to put the defense in a bond. And so the 853 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,759 Speaker 1: reason why it stood out to me the amount of 854 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,960 Speaker 1: bootlegs that they ran in practice. Is because I think 855 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,279 Speaker 1: when you look at what I would say mid level quarterbacks, 856 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,959 Speaker 1: I'll say Baker Mayfield, I'll say Kirk Cousins, I'll say 857 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,719 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, when you notice what those teams have been 858 00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,600 Speaker 1: able to do all coming out of the Shanahan system, stretch, 859 00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:52,800 Speaker 1: bootleg combinations, stretch run game to the front side bootleg 860 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 1: coming out the back door. Part of it is you 861 00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:56,840 Speaker 1: use the thread of the quarterback run to keep the 862 00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:00,520 Speaker 1: backside defensive in from chasing, so that enhances your running game. 863 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:02,960 Speaker 1: But also when you start doing the bootleg part of 864 00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,279 Speaker 1: the passing game with the thread of the run. Because 865 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,879 Speaker 1: I don't care what anyone says about Zeke last year 866 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 1: being the fat guy, every defensive coordinator is still standing 867 00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,239 Speaker 1: in front of his team saying we gotta stop twenty one. 868 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,360 Speaker 1: So when twenty one goes that way, it separates the defense. 869 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 1: So then when those guys are crossing, you have the 870 00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,480 Speaker 1: opportunity for more big plays, more chunk plays in the 871 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,360 Speaker 1: passing game, off play acts. That's what I think is 872 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 1: the next level for this offense. All right, before we 873 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,440 Speaker 1: get out of here, I have a feeling I know 874 00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,359 Speaker 1: your answer I'm gonna write it down on my hand 875 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:38,920 Speaker 1: and show everybody who is who each one of you 876 00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,319 Speaker 1: who is your pet cat this training camp? Who are you? 877 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,480 Speaker 1: Who are you looking at? And who do you want 878 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 1: to see succeed in this training game. I'm a little 879 00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:50,480 Speaker 1: different this year because I have two players, but one 880 00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 1: of them is a playing uh Gallamore, it's one of them, 881 00:44:55,600 --> 00:45:02,960 Speaker 1: and big Cat Yeah and uns Tristan Hill shure, I 882 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,200 Speaker 1: blew it. You know what I'm saying. I'm serious because 883 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,760 Speaker 1: what I'm what, I'm what I am focusing on after 884 00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:11,880 Speaker 1: today because I was an all old line and I 885 00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,560 Speaker 1: see Lyle is moving well, so I'm good. So now 886 00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,120 Speaker 1: my next focus the next practice is gonna be the 887 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,719 Speaker 1: D line and looking at them and trying to learn 888 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,000 Speaker 1: these players. I don't know him, trying to learn these 889 00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:25,520 Speaker 1: players with no pads on. But that that that is 890 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:29,600 Speaker 1: if our defense matures within six games to be that 891 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:33,320 Speaker 1: middle of the pack defense, We're looking at something special 892 00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,680 Speaker 1: this year. So we need our inside so everything else 893 00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:41,720 Speaker 1: can flourish. So Gallimore and I have to go another route, 894 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,319 Speaker 1: maybe with somebody else, because Tristan Hill is on pub. Okay, 895 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,120 Speaker 1: pick another guy, because I don't want. I'll have to 896 00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:47,840 Speaker 1: look at him. I have to look at what happened 897 00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,160 Speaker 1: to ninety eight. Nate. We've been talking about ninety eight 898 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:56,359 Speaker 1: since OTAs you don't need the rookie still has to learn. 899 00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,600 Speaker 1: I love, You're not gonna pick him because he's a rookie. 900 00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,640 Speaker 1: I gotta see West coach. Coach Quinn's playing. Okay, Coach, 901 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,239 Speaker 1: you know he is a sixth round pick. I mean 902 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,239 Speaker 1: I was a free agent. I'm not knocking that. I 903 00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:10,759 Speaker 1: was a free agent. I thought he was gonna be 904 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:14,280 Speaker 1: your pet cat. I love him, but but I gotta 905 00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 1: go with the veteran guys. But since we get don't 906 00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,319 Speaker 1: have tricks Hill, I will look at him, but bash him. 907 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at him. I need for two guys 908 00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,239 Speaker 1: to show up in the middle, three techniques on once. 909 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,399 Speaker 1: I need for somebody to show up, because if they 910 00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:29,440 Speaker 1: don't show up, then d Law is gonna be ineffective, 911 00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,239 Speaker 1: Gregory is gonna be ineffective. Our linebackers are gonna be 912 00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,360 Speaker 1: running the hump. I need some guys in the middle 913 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:37,920 Speaker 1: that's gonna eat that's gonna eat up somebodies, all right, 914 00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:41,319 Speaker 1: at you, Bucky, I mean I like that. I like 915 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,759 Speaker 1: your premise, all championship defense have to be strong right 916 00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:45,239 Speaker 1: down the middle. But I'm gonna going on to the 917 00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:47,759 Speaker 1: outside because I think this is probably reminiscent to how 918 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:49,960 Speaker 1: you guys want it when you has it was it 919 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,719 Speaker 1: was Kevin Smith on the outside. You got another young 920 00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,319 Speaker 1: guy was Leigh Brown at the time, too younger. So 921 00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go outside to those corners, and I was 922 00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:01,399 Speaker 1: thinking about Nahan right and Calvin Joeseph because those guys 923 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,400 Speaker 1: are going to be under a lot of pressure on 924 00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:07,080 Speaker 1: the outside in that defense. There's no hiding. You're not 925 00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,160 Speaker 1: rolling up the corner. You're not playing cover two over 926 00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,440 Speaker 1: with safety overtop. They have to be able to win 927 00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,120 Speaker 1: their one on one battles. So can those guys hold 928 00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,839 Speaker 1: up on the outside when all of the balls are 929 00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:19,440 Speaker 1: going in their direction? When the quarterback looks and sees 930 00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,239 Speaker 1: twenty four and forty, they're going to throw the ball 931 00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:25,640 Speaker 1: to the rookies. How do they withstand the storm that 932 00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:27,680 Speaker 1: is about to come? Because if they can just hold up, 933 00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:29,319 Speaker 1: and they don't have to be perfect, but as long 934 00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,560 Speaker 1: as it doesn't flow over their head, they'll be fine. 935 00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,400 Speaker 1: So those are the guys that I'm watching right and 936 00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,160 Speaker 1: Joseph Ken. Those young guys get on the field, even 937 00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,319 Speaker 1: with Dicks, because Diggs is the second year player, but 938 00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:41,839 Speaker 1: he's young. He's gonna get a lot of heat too. 939 00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,560 Speaker 1: Those young guys on the island have to be able 940 00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:48,400 Speaker 1: to hold their own I like it, well, Fellas, I 941 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,120 Speaker 1: think we're out of time, Nate.
