Barry Church and Toledo Rocket. 0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.279 Yes back, Yes, the survivor has made his way from 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:03.240 Los Angeles back here, Ultimate Survivor. Let me tell y'all 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:06.640 something don't fly nowhere. If you have to be back 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:10.840 at a certain time, for sure it is highlights. No, 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:13.399 I don't know what it is. Hoped it. I see 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:18.720 the American Airlins Councils, thousand thousand cats, price sick what 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:21.000 you be? I can't get back to the crib. Oh, 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:23.800 the people at the gate were saying that very thing. 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:25.480 What you mean, I can't get home to Atlanta until 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:28.240 six o'clock And it was six something in the morning 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:30.160 when the guy was at the gate trying to get on. So, yes, 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:33.800 it's been a problem. But spirit though in spirit they've 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:35.640 been going through though. You hop on your little spirit. 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.960 After one spirit like in my lifetime, that thing like 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:41.520 I was about to fall apart. It was like, Noah, 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:48.320 never again. Never I thought about to land. But I'm like, man, 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:56.240 just get down. American Airlines, the official Cowboys. Yeah, that spirit, 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.600 let's get on it to you. Let's get them. Let's 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:03.120 go football over here. You see me trying to steer 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:04.960 Chris being You see me trying to see this thing. 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:13.040 There's a lot of leg room. Plus seven am flight 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:15.280 from American back here was on time. I got here, 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:17.680 just just fine. No, probably had no probably no issues, 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.480 no problems about that American and don't last spirit. So 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.679 let us start, let us start. Let's do it. Two things. 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:29.079 Number one, hate it for Jabril Cox, the rookie high 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.920 backer out of LSU. Yeah, ton Al, we didn't get 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.440 to it yesterday. But yes, tourn acl so he's going 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.840 to miss the rest of the season bright future. So 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.120 hopefully Britt Brown, they can get him ready to go 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:42.440 and hopefully he can be good for training. If anybody 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.040 can get you back, it's gonna be Britt Brown. Now 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.840 he's gonna have his his trials and tribulations on them 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:48.960 chords because we we've both been on them chords before 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.120 and that's some hard work. But if anybody can get 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.440 you back to where you once were even better than that, 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:56.080 it's Britt Brown. I mean he's tried and tested. Brit Brown. 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:59.440 I'll training staff has been amazing. I'm sure before I 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:02.600 got here, but my time here they were amazing. Back 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:04.680 as quick as they could, but also make sure that 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:06.120 they held me out when I didn't need to be 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:08.880 in the game. I allowed Dak Prescott, which I was 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.240 wrong about. I would have bet everything that to do 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.520 was giving me both. You need both. But yeah, they 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:14.720 take care of you. So I got it. I got 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:16.799 ultimate faith that Jabril Cox will be back in better 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.680 than ever. Players Last by Hotels dot Com, Danny mc 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:23.440 craig Berry Churchmen, do we scruct so Cox is gone? 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.800 Jalen Smith cut by the Green Bay Packers. This morning 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:37.760 out you know where? Come on, now, come on, who's 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:39.560 with me? Who's with me? You trying to bring you 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.400 trying to bring swipe us back? Do you have a 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:46.960 linebacker that's now on gone for the year. You could 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:50.280 bring back someone who knows your defense. But will he 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.200 make an impact? Like will he come in here and 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.240 do something? I can see him on? Kick off that 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.040 straight line? You know you ain't gotta go left and right, 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:58.760 no ladder or you straight down the field. So maybe 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.800 kickoff maybe some special teams here and there. But are 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.480 you gonna bring them on? That's a no for me. 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:06.440 It's but you know what, it's a note for me. 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:08.520 But but it sounds like the money might make sense. 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:11.560 So he's already gonna make But the seven million someone 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:13.280 they bring them back, it'll be like on a half 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.960 season whatever deal. Nothing to be guaranteed for him the 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.240 next year was what is what? Which is what we 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.360 assume was the reason for them releasing them in the 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:25.200 first place. So it might make sense, uh to them 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:27.160 to bring him. Gonna take or you're gonna put him 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:30.320 on practice squad, be back up, He'll be back up. 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.120 Is a team's guy. You think jealous man is gonna 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:34.560 be out there and be able to produce on teams. 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:36.720 He has never done that before. No, he will never 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.560 got so I don't still see who where he's gonna 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:43.039 go about to you on that one, because you are correct, 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.200 I did not see him taking anybody's spot that is 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:47.440 currently in the starting line up. And if you're not 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.160 going to be a core special teams player, then I 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.520 don't think there's any room for you to be roster. 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.320 So maybe we go make a trade of someone. We 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.320 find somebody to pick up off of, maybe a practice squad. 0:04:58.400 --> 0:04:59.960 You know, maybe he can get on the practice squad. 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:03.840 He don't have any eligibility, like like it has to 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.000 be like a reason for for for him to be 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.480 on there for us to go make that move. That chill, bro, 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:11.320 It might it might be instant. You got to seven meal, bro. 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.400 The fact that it happened so quickly, Uh, you know, 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:16.120 he got on there. He was a healthy scratch. I 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:18.320 think he played in play like one game, one game, 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:20.520 and and and the highlight of that one game was 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:23.640 just you know, him getting yeah. So yeah, I mean, 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:25.560 sometimes you just gotta you gotta step back and you 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:27.800 gotta reevaluate what you're doing. That I would agree. You know, 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:30.039 if you still want to play, then just go go 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:31.480 go make sure you work on some of that stuff 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:33.120 that I'm sure that they told you about when they 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:34.839 when they released you in the same thing that Green 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:38.040 Bay did, and and you'll give another shot. YEA. Hopefully 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:43.040 I would have my agent call Will McClay. If i'm 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:47.920 Jalen Smith, call can't hurt conscience, hurt I know the defense. 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:52.960 You can come back here and and get on this 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:54.880 magical train right now to six and one to see. 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:56.080 We'll see if you can be a part of it. 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.360 Church you, I think I think if they put the 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.200 playbook in front of you, I think you can figure out. 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:02.800 I mean, I think we put too much into like, no, 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.160 the defense when you're this far into the season. If 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.080 it was like Dan Quinn just came in and Jayleon 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:10.360 Smith one of his guys from years ago, who was 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:11.920 gonna help be the leader in the locker room, I 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.880 think that's a little different. Um. But I think whoever 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:16.560 you bring in, you don't expect them to be a 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:18.680 starter anyway, so they're gonna have time to figure out 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:20.320 what they need to be doing. They're gonna be all 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.520 in bones and bones is playable. They'll be in that 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:24.560 trying to be a core special team, then trying to 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:26.600 work their way onto the defense. And like you said, 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:29.000 it's not gonna be that difficult to be able to 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:30.200 here and pick it up. You have a couple of 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:31.960 weeks to do so, so I think they can find 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.560 somebody if they want to, if they want to. Look, 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.040 you're gonna you want to feel a spot because you 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:39.600 need that. But on the peace squad that we can 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:42.039 bring up. But I'm just I'm just sitting here just 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.680 talking about a veteran player or a guy who knows 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.360 your who knows your team is available, and I just 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:50.160 I'm just surprised if I wish I could see the 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:55.320 smile once two former players just you know, just saying no, 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:57.640 just keeping it real, saying no. I mean you already 0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.960 moved on. I think right right now we have changed 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:03.719 the culture of the organization and Mike McCarthy, Will McClary 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:05.920 them are doing things different. They're releasing guys when they 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:07.760 need to be releasing. They're bringing the right guys in 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.280 who they think are going to eventually help them. And 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:12.120 they didn't think that Jay Leon Smith could help them. 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:14.680 So I don't see a reason for them in their 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:19.800 mind to bring them back. Okay, so let's just kind 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:21.800 of go back to the premise of what we had 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:25.280 heard was, Hey, look, this was about the injury guarantee. 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.440 Mike McCarty nine two next, right, So so you know 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:30.800 they said a lot of positive things about it. Mike McCarthy. Hey, 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:32.600 this was kind of a bigger thing. So you don't 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:34.400 have to worry about that now, so you can bring 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:38.440 him back. And you know, he was green Bay that 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.680 tied him to whatever vet minimum because the Cowboys run 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:41.920 the hook for the money, so it's not like you're 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:43.880 going to have to invest any large dollars here. He 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.800 played twenty six snaps bro Like, it's it's something that 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.240 like the coaches are seeing to for that type of 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:53.040 stuff to happen. You know, some people, your play slips sometimes. 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.640 But if you go to a team and it's a 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:57.880 team that we aren't playing, right, because usually they would 0:07:57.880 --> 0:07:59.640 pick you up off the waiver wire if you were 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:01.320 playing him the next week, so they can figure out 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:03.560 everything that you know about the defenses and the calls 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:05.480 or whatever. But green Bay picked him up because they 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:07.440 thought he was gonna be a player for them, and 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:10.600 then he played twenty six snaps, so they saw something 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:13.000 and then you know, d qing them saw something as well. 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.679 But does he have too much presence in that locker 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.880 room to just be, you know, a guy out there, 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:20.360 like you know what, I like, I can see them 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:22.200 bringing in somebody else because you know, they don't have 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.040 that presence in that locker room. But I feel like 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.600 Jalen if he came in here, he would bring that 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:28.080 presence with him. He was a captain, he was a 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.520 leader on that defense for a couple of years. So 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:32.120 do you want that in the locker room? Do you 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.040 want that presence in the locker room, especially if it's 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:35.960 not going to be that big of a contributor to 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:38.320 your team's success overall? Do you want to bring that 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:39.720 in here or do you want to get a fresh start. 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:42.439 I think you've moved on. I think Will McClay and 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:45.520 them have they will have somebody in mind already. Some 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:47.360 of the scouts are up there watching to see who 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.200 they can get to replace Jabril Coxon. I don't think 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:52.040 it's James Smith. Yeah, all right, So when you just 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.040 kind of look at your injured list right now, you've 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:57.480 got Francis Bernard, that's the one linebacker that you have. 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.600 He's an undrafted kid, right, yeah, kid, you're talking so 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:03.320 that right now? Just kind of looking here, you're there's 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:06.719 nobody on the practice squad who's linebacker. So this is 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:08.440 kind of what you're you're you're looking at here in 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:11.200 terms of Jalen Smith could make sense looking at what 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:14.240 you have here? Could you already gat a Luke Gifford 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.920 who's a core special teamer can come in and play 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:21.160 spot duty at linebacker if needed. So do you need 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:23.760 another one of those? I don't. I don't think so. 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:25.880 I don't you know what I'm gonna I'm with Daniel, 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:27.840 I don't think so. I think they're gonna figure it out. Man. 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:29.839 I think they've figured out without him. Note no shade 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.280 to Jalen. I'm just saying, you know, it happened. He 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:34.920 was released and with another squad he was released. I 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.160 think the writing maybe on the wall for the twenty 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.360 twenty one season, and we'll see what happens moving before. 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:42.320 But for us, we're rolling right now where they've they've 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.840 made all the right decisions so far. So whichever one 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:46.680 they do make, it's fine. But I just don't see 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:48.880 that happening. But I also didn't seen back playing this week. 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.560 And we also and we've seen this happen before, where 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:53.040 guys will be gone for a couple of years and 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:54.960 they'll come back. You came back after with a year 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:57.480 or two, justin Durant came I didn't get released, and 0:09:57.520 --> 0:09:59.360 you didn't get released, came back after a year or two. 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.480 Same thing with just the Rent, but that took a 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:03.280 couple of years in between. This is like a couple 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:05.679 of weeks between it, Like he was released and now 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:07.880 he's a free agent. So that's another factor. And I 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:10.080 just don't see it happening for my boy. Okay, So 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:12.720 on the players side right now, it is the former 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:19.360 players against bringing back down, all right, the narrative. I 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:22.839 don't believe that they should. I don't believe that they will. 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:27.920 I'm not against like I'm not. If we're on Survivor 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:31.839 right now, your vote, you're keeping Jalen off on on 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.839 the off the island. He's going. I don't like when 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:37.120 people come back, you know, I don't. I don't like 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:40.720 I don't like time travel. I don't I don't like 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:43.719 when people come back from when they've already been eliminated. Yeah, 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:48.120 that's surviving. Okay, okay, it's a rap all right. Just 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:52.839 for the record, No, you better not know what you 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.560 would not mind sins. But did you see the article 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:05.440 that they got the swiper? The headline they got the swiper. 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:08.920 I'm like, oh, man, you're not on your side. He 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:14.760 is not always come back home. I can't believe this. 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.959 Right now, I come back home fits and maybe you 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:21.120 come back home with a with a with a even 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:25.040 more clear ride view this time you come back all 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:30.160 right now, I don't think anybody's got the none man, 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.439 good good luck to jaylen Man. It is no matter what. 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:38.480 It is a tough thing to realize to some extent 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:41.280 that your career is moving towards the end, you know, 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:43.760 versus being in your problems. So it's it's a hard 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:47.200 pill to swallow sometimes. And hopefully he's able to to 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.560 to to get something going. That man, get something. Pockets 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:53.160 will be full, you know, so he'll be he'll be 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:55.079 in the long. It's a big community, got too, though, 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:56.719 so he's gonna make some stuff happen. Just come back 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:58.680 to Dallas, you know, see what you could do outside 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:00.680 of football, Okay, come get on the play lounge. Let's 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:02.520 go here we go. We gotta see right here for 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.760 you on the players lounges, Bae, one of the more 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:06.640 defensive players on the players line, wasn't it like we 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:14.880 need some offensive guys who started this speaking of linebackers 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.920 being moved on the Denver Broncos traded the Soto's own 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.800 Vaughan Miller to the ram so Von Miller expecting to 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:24.800 come here to play Jerry World Sunday with the Broncos. 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:29.760 He's gone after winning a Super Bowl MVP with the 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:32.280 Broncos super Bowl fifty team and that with DeMarcus where 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:35.160 Wade Phillips' defensive coordinator on that on that defense, He's 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:37.760 going to Los Angeles with an opportunity to play on 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.079 a team that very much is in the hunt to 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:45.360 to Uh, they're definitely a Super Bowl contender here. I 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:47.760 don't know exactly what they're gonna be putting out there 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:52.520 on defense. Uh, comes Sunday against these cowboys and they 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:57.280 are throw in the town. I don't like, I said, like, 0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.040 how you gonna how to coach? Gonna try to hype 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:01.240 y'all up. We're doing every thing we can to go 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.240 out here. And get this victory. You just traded arguably 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:07.880 our best maybe second best, to certain of the Heart 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:10.240 and start Denver Bronco. A couple of years ago, we 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.559 were thinking, Okay, this that guy Von Miller, he'll be 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:14.520 a Denver Bronco for life. He's gonna be like a 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:16.960 Shannon Sharp or something like that, where he's there forever. 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:19.840 But I mean, it goes fast in the NFL. And 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:21.920 now as a coach, you're telling these players, yeah, we're 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:23.760 gonna go to the Cowboys, we won't give our best 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:26.000 bet and all this other stuff. You just traded away 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:28.480 our best defensive player, and you're gonna try to make 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:31.079 us believe you're not throwing in the town. As a player, 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:32.360 I'm like, all right, now it's time for me to 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:34.200 get mines. I gotta go out there and do what 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:36.600 I gotta do to make sure my job is safe 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:39.240 or future is safe here. And that's what you're gonna see. 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:41.199 What these players, they're gonna be trying to press, get 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:45.319 them them sales. Why don't you jump that round? You 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:48.319 let im trying to get a pick. Man, I don't 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:49.760 know about y'all. I'm trying to get a pick. Get 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.000 these stats up. But yeah, it's gonna be hard to 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.640 motivate those players come Sunday. I'll say this, shout out 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:58.240 to Denver though, okay for this not wasting the rest 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:01.360 of von Miller's career. They get them justice by that one. No, 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:03.920 in their mind they do not have a shot and 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:06.880 being a Super Bowl contender. And then also shout out 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:10.280 to the Rams for being the opposite of what Jacksonville 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:12.880 was when we were playing, well before you actually went 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:15.400 it was. Jacksonville was that place where all the collection 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:19.760 of the older players would go there getting paid off 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:22.760 their careers. And then now la is the Matthew Stafford, 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:26.440 Jalen Ramsey, the von Miller, well he might not be there. 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:30.760 And the dudes when you talk about using draft picks 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:36.280 for we'll give you a second, we'll get there nobody. 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:38.640 And and it's working for them to get a staff 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:40.280 out of it. You get a Jalen Ramsey. Now you're 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.120 getting the v Miller to go with an Aaron Donald. 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:45.160 It's like Leonard Floyd. Everybody thought he was a bust 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:47.240 a couple of years ago. That guy's you know, proven 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:49.560 dividends for that defense out there. The Ram the Rams 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:51.880 are getting ready for a push right and I think 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:55.000 they all us against them. Ships is all in right now, 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:57.040 us against them. It's gonna be be a good matchup. 0:14:57.720 --> 0:14:59.760 That's gonna be tough, man, that's gonna be a tough 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:01.440 match So for us, I got faith with what our 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:04.080 wants in there. I got faith in us. Anybody's defense, 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:06.520 they're gonna put Donald right over Williams. I've got a 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:09.120 feeling that this is the absolute best week to go 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:12.360 face the Denver Broncos. Because you've traded von Miller. The 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:15.440 message in the locker room has to be one of 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:17.880 just like you said, you're shaking up like Bond can go, 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:20.400 what's next for me? And now I'm thinking about the 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:22.640 coaching staff. You're big fans, you know you're coaching for 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:24.720 your career right now, and they're just got rid of 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:26.960 Von Miller. You're sitting the ownership of sitting that kind 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:29.240 of message to you. And if you're an assistant coach man, 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:31.600 you look at a wife like, uh, we got a 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:35.400 real tour. What's going on? Because because you because they 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:38.200 may not make it, they need a quarterback. Okay, they 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:40.840 have a quarterback problem around there, so they thought they 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:44.120 could run the ball and play defense. They're they're an 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:47.240 okay football team. And now you're coming down here to 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:49.960 face the Cowboys, who should have Dak Prescott back. According 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:53.400 to Jerry Jones on his SHOWFI three the Fan Today, 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:55.760 so this to me seems like a really good time 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:58.160 for the Cowboys to catch the Broncos. If you're a 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:00.520 young player for the Broncos right now and you see 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:03.640 the franchise guy, the guy that's been there since you 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:06.400 were a kid watching it get get traded like that, 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:08.400 what's going through your mind right now? Because it reminds 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.840 me when d Ware got released and everybody was just like, oh, 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:13.760 hold off, now, d Where got released. I'll tell you this, 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:18.360 it's a shocker. But let's be realistic. Nobody in Denver's 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:20.840 locker room expected to be winning the Super Bowl this season, 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:22.680 all right, So let's not going there like you know 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:24.440 what I'm saying, Like it was somebody from the Cowboys, 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:26.480 you know, you six and one and they trade away 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:29.200 Dak Prescott or somebody like that, You're like, oh, what 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:31.640 is this? The dudes that never are thinking about how 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:33.640 we thought about the season, our rookie year, like many 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:37.960 too bad and seventeen weeks I could have been in Vegas, 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:40.320 you know what I'm saying. So it's not like they 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:42.640 really like those guys. Some of the most of those 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:44.880 guys really had the expectation. But it is a shocker 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.000 when you know somebody who was the face of the 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:49.440 franchise in Super Bowl MVP and you see him get 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:52.600 moved on that. That's tough. That's first of all, it's 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:54.680 tough on you because you like, if he didn't say 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:57.160 neither of my like similar to how those how those 0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:59.440 people in Indianapolis Field when they got paid man, and 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:02.920 like everybody in the league was shot, Yeah, because I 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.760 don't think they had seen anything like that until that point. 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:08.360 Denfer Broncos four and four on the season, Cowboys six 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:10.480 and one. They faced off against each other at AT 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:13.280 and T Stadium on Sunday. Let's get our first break 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:15.399 in here on the Players Lunch brought you by Hotels 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:18.240 dot Com. When we come back, I want to ask 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:23.040 a question about this one area of special teams that 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:27.359 we were hot about but then forgot about towards the 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:29.240 end of the game.
