00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 2: compare where they were at the end of last season

25
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: to where they are at this point and try to

26
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: see if we can shed some light on how much

27
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: they've improved or not over these last several months. Heading

28
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: into the twenty twenty three training camp this year, we'll

29
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,200

30
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 2: I hope your station's gonna let you come out and

31
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 2: we'll get a little time with you.

32
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, they plan on it. So yeah, So we'll be

33
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 3: out there eventually one time or another.

34
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: Good and we know Nick and Amber will be out there.

35
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: I will be out there, so looking forward to that

36
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 2: later this summer. But for today, we're going to focus

37
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: in on quarterbacks and linebackers, the quarterback of the offense

38
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: and the defense. Before we do that, though, I wanted

39
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: to get some reaction from you guys. Twenty twenty three

40
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: schedule was released last week. What do you think about it?

41
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: Was anything on it that stood out to you as

42
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: far as how the Cowboys will have to approach this season?

43
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 7: Not really. I mean, you know, I'm kind of I

44
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 7: used to do that. I used to play that game

45
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 7: and go, oh man, this looks tough and December looks tough.

46
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 7: I don't know who. I mean, it looks like it

47
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 7: could be if you're playing it now. But you know,

48
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 7: who knows who's healthy and all that, and how teams are.

49
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 7: There's always two or three games that are going to

50
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 7: be tougher than you expecting two or three games that aren't.

51
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 7: So you know, it's the things I look at or

52
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 7: just you know, just how they got to get off

53
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 7: to a pretty good start is what it seems like.

54
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 7: And then you know, just stay healthy. I mean I

55
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 7: think that I looked at it. They'll be favored, you know,

56
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 7: unless things change dramatically, they'll be favored in twelve or

57
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 7: thirteen games. So they should go out and.

58
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: Got a lot of night games.

59
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 7: Man, got some night games.

60
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's for guys that do postgame shows until two

61
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 3: in the morning. That's no fun. Well, hopefully we'll talk

62
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 3: about it like someone that might know something. Yeah, I

63
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 3: know all about that. I will say, I don't think

64
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 3: the league did them any favors in December. I just don't.

65
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 3: I think when you start to talk about having you

66
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 3: get the game at Philadelphia at home on the tenth

67
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 3: and then at Buffalo Miami Detroit could be playing for

68
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 3: division title. You know, we'll see what happens with the

69
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 3: Commanders are you know, the division I think is going

70
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 3: to be pretty tight, So there's gonna be a gauntlet

71
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 3: that they're going to have to run, and I think

72
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 3: they catch a break on the heat in Miami, even

73
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 3: though you're a hot weather team here. Usually if you

74
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 3: go to Miami earlier in the years, we've all known,

75
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 3: you could melt in that place. Umid hut. Yeah, so

76
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 3: you got a amber. I'm sorry, Christmas Eve, you're gonna

77
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 3: have to spend in Miami. I can think of worse

78
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 3: places to be. Well, he'll be in Miami. You'll be

79
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 3: in Miami that day. But the trip to Buffalo, as

80
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 3: we all know, and we've all made that trip to Buffalo,

81
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 3: it could be it could be very daunting as is.

82
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: So I don't think they did him many favors, you know,

83
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 3: with the way that part of the schedule rolls out,

84
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: because I think every one of those teams are going

85
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 3: to be playing for something, you know, and yes, you

86
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 3: would kind of hope that you had somebody in there

87
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 3: that wasn't playing for something like Carolina or maybe even

88
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 3: we'll see what the rams if they had to turn

89
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 3: around or anything like that. But that part of I

90
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: think is going to be difficult.

91
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 8: I feel terrible because you asked that question and I'm like, uh,

92
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 8: what did I think? Because everything that I'm looking at

93
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 8: it in a non football perspective. When the schedule comes out,

94
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 8: I'm looking at the video we produced, that you guys produced,

95
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 8: that the company put out.

96
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 3: I'm looking at what.

97
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 8: Other teams put out production wise. A lot of questionable

98
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 8: things out there that some teams decided to do. But

99
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 8: also I'm looking at, Okay, how many back to back

100
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,799
Speaker 8: home games do we have? How many on the road games?

101
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 8: So I did not even look at when we're playing

102
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 8: what opponent because to me, which is terrible, but I mean,

103
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 8: I just know I got to be there. I'm going

104
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 8: to be there for all of them.

105
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 3: So it doesn't know, well, the two the two me personally, Yeah,

106
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 3: the two games to the West Coast to the San

107
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 3: Francisco and Chargers game back to back. It's a Sunday

108
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 3: night and a Monday night, correct, So that, man, that

109
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 3: could be a little bit of another.

110
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: To get a buy immediately after that, Yeah, it kind

111
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: of helps a little.

112
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: You might you're gonna you might need that buy for sure.

113
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 3: I think, you know, the Aaron. I think getting Aaron

114
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 3: Rodgers out of the way in week two I think

115
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 3: is a good thing. Maybe the Jets haven't kind of

116
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 3: figured things out with him. And you never want him

117
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 3: to get rolled in the way he can. So maybe

118
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 3: that that gives you a little bit of a break

119
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 3: as well.

120
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 7: I mean you're supposed to have nine nine you know,

121
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 7: road games, eight home games, but you do have you

122
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 7: do have a break with two games that you'll have

123
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 7: more fans. You will, I mean you'll have more fans

124
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 7: in Arizona and then and uh at the other LA.

125
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 7: So you know there will be two games that you

126
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 7: should be able to. You're not gonna be like it's

127
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 7: not like gonna be the black hole in Oakland. I mean,

128
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 7: you know you'll have a chance to.

129
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 2: Nose won't be the game it shouldn't be.

130
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 7: And you're a better team. I think they're a better

131
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 7: team than both of those teams. So when you factor

132
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 7: that in, I mean that you have a couple of

133
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 7: opportunities to you know, to you know, have some success there.

134
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 3: You're back. You got that Thursday to Thursday game again. Yeah,

135
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 3: you know that's something that you missed that last.

136
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 6: Year, right.

137
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 7: Yeah, to me, that only affects like that's like a

138
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 7: gamer was saying that just that only it kind of

139
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 7: affects like personally, like Thanksgiving, your Thanksgiving weekend, that you

140
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 7: wanted to have as little afterwards is a little different,

141
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 7: but you know, you still get the break after that,

142
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 7: So I don't know. I don't know how much that

143
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 7: effects I guess it affects it so honestly for a team,

144
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 7: but I don't know for the team.

145
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 2: I actually thought it was a little bit of an

146
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 2: advantage because they get that even though you got that

147
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 2: short week for the Thursday game, then you get a

148
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: full week for the next Thursday game, and then they

149
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: actually have a long week because they don't play until

150
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: the following Sunday and it's a Sunday night game. So

151
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: when you factor all that in, like there's actually it

152
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 2: makes that three week period, not the front part of

153
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,239
Speaker 2: the three weeks, but the back part.

154
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 7: Of the three weeks.

155
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: It makes it a little easier for them to kind

156
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 2: of manage. I think at a time of the year

157
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 2: where you think you probably need that a little bit

158
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: of extra rest to be able to get that heading

159
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: into December of a couple extra days, I think that's

160
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: actually a benefit for them. But yeah, I think the

161
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 2: interesting thing here really for me was about what you

162
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: were saying, Brian about that December stretch. I think that's

163
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: the part you look at and Nick, you're absolutely right,

164
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: we don't know what that's going to look. Yeah, we've

165
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 2: had other years where you go into December thinking, oh

166
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: my gosh, and then you get to that point you

167
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: know it's going to be.

168
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 7: So you know that, and you got to be able

169
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 7: to run the football like they want to do because

170
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 7: I mean throwing the ball around in Buffalo, we saw it.

171
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 3: I mean could be tough for you know, you never

172
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 3: know about that. The thing about it is too that

173
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: you always worry about December those flex games. Potentially You've

174
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 3: already got two night games in December, you know, and

175
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 3: the only games that they could flex on you would

176
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 3: be the at Buffalo and at Miami. But they flex

177
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 3: you knowing that you've already got two night games or Washington. Yeah,

178
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 3: I guess well they could flex the day on that one.

179
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 3: That's the that could be a Saturday, is what that

180
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 3: one could be.

181
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 7: I doubt they flexed the Christmas Eve game, right, I mean,

182
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 7: is there a.

183
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 2: Game that's already there already a is that? Isn't that

184
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 2: a night an afternoon game?

185
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 3: Yes?

186
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 2: Three twenty five?

187
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 3: How many? I didn't check. How many do they have?

188
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 3: Three Christmas games this year one Christmas game.

189
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 2: I don't really honestly, I think what I saw and.

190
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 3: I thought there was one was a Jets Miami or

191
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 3: am I thinking about something else? Somebody else was? Or

192
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 3: Giants Giants Giants Eagles, Giants Eagles on Christmas? So is

193
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 3: that the only Christmas Day game that that would be?

194
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 3: You know, I mean, do you flex? I mean, does

195
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 3: that turn into a deal where you have to flex that?

196
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 3: I I think with the fact that you've got the

197
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 3: two games in December that are already TV games, I

198
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 3: don't think you have to worry about those getting flexed.

199
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 3: But that's something you always have to consider when you're

200
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 3: you know, you're playing for these games late in the year.

201
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: Somewhere I thought I saw the eighteenth. The weekend of

202
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 2: the eighteenth was the only was the weekend that could

203
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: have been flexed and not the one after that. But

204
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: I don't know that for sure.

205
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 3: I don't.

206
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: I don't know about that Christmas. If I would hope,

207
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 2: I would hope that they don't. It's already better if

208
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 2: we're doing a road Christmas Eve game. I would hate

209
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 2: that to be a night game.

210
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, we'll see you think about it. Just

211
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 7: from a standpoint of you start off on the road

212
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 7: in the season on the road, and then you know

213
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 7: Christmas is also on the road, all on the East coast,

214
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 7: so you know, not that there's any short trips really

215
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 7: for the Cowboys ever except for Houston.

216
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 3: But man, there's going to be some pressure pack games

217
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 3: in that month. I mean, I think it actually could start.

218
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 3: And I say December. I think it actually could start

219
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 3: at the home game against Seattle, that Thursday, Thursday game.

220
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 3: You know, Seattle, Seattle, Philly, Buffalo, Miami, Detroit Command is

221
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 3: all gonna be playing for something. I mean, and you're

222
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 3: likely playing for something too.

223
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 7: So Seattle's on Thanksgiving.

224
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 3: Off, No, it's the Thursday after your game against the Command.

225
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 7: But Seattle's on Thanksgiving as well, right that.

226
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: Oh are they playing things right? I guess. I guess

227
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 2: they probably are. I don't know every team's gonna play

228
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 2: a Thursday night game, so yeah, it could be. Yeah,

229
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 2: I would they could.

230
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 7: They would play on Sunday. And but I mean it

231
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 7: happens all the time.

232
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, every team, Most teams will have a Sunday to

233
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 2: third a game.

234
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 3: Every single seats playing San Francisco the week before on

235
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 3: thanks after the night game.

236
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, but I'm thinking, like always, I mean, happens every

237
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 8: year where that final month of December is kind of

238
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 8: you're playing to get into the playoffs. I'm trying to think,

239
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 8: when has it not been that way?

240
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: Well, you got the Colts that one time, right, didn't

241
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 3: you get the Colts there last year where they were

242
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 3: just was it last year or two years?

243
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 7: I remember?

244
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 4: Oh?

245
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 7: Yeah.

246
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 3: Sometimes you get teams that just completely out of it

247
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 3: and you and that's your hope that you get somebody

248
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 3: that that you know is not they're not going anywhere,

249
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 3: and then you just beat them up and then you

250
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 3: move on.

251
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 7: But sometimes those teams can be dangerous too, you know,

252
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 7: like Washington at the end of the season last year.

253
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 7: You know, I mean, I know the Cowboys didn't play

254
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 7: a lot of players, but that you know, they.

255
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 3: Were funny if Washington would have won the week before

256
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 3: they were playing to get into the playoffs. They they

257
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 3: started Carson Wentz the week before and it messed them up.

258
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 3: The thing that I could say this the one thing

259
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 3: we've also kind of learned is the lead league tends

260
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 3: to schedule if they're trying to move on get the

261
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 3: AFC teams done. It's always like in the month of

262
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 3: December they put AFC, you get two AFC teams. Uh,

263
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 3: you know in that in that you know, it would

264
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 3: be better to me personally if you had somebody like

265
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 3: maybe I don't think New England. I will see about

266
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 3: New England how they're going to be. I would much

267
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 3: rather have New England than I would Buffalo or one

268
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 3: of those other teams down there. And that you know thing.

269
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 3: I think Buffalo and Miami are going to be battling

270
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 3: for the division title.

271
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 2: The fact is, though we knew going into this year,

272
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 2: even before the schedule came out, you knew the teams

273
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 2: they were playing. That's a daunting list of opponents just

274
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 2: in general. So however they were going to match them up.

275
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 2: It was going to be a daunting task for the

276
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 2: Cowboys this season because the NFC East is so tough

277
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: and you're playing a division AFC East that also has

278
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 2: some pretty good teams and NFC East as well, I mean,

279
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, NFC West as well.

280
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 3: The quarterback better.

281
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 8: Or worse calendar than last.

282
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: Year schedule ever since?

283
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say worse.

284
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 2: When you say worse than you're saying worse for the Cowboys.

285
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 8: Or yeah for the Cowboys in all aspects.

286
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 2: Based on what I thought this time last year, South

287
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 2: time this year, Yeah, I agree with you. Yeah, I

288
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 2: would say it's probably it's a harder scheduled this year

289
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 2: than it was last year.

290
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 3: You got those games, but you played Houston later in

291
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 3: the season, didn't you last year, and that that game

292
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 3: turned out to be a last drive game.

293
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 7: You got a second place schedule, which means that three

294
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 7: teams you're playing that Finnish second are Carolina, Detroit and

295
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 7: the Chargers or Seattle. It well, Seattle, I think you

296
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 7: played the whole divisions, but the ones that you're playing

297
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 7: because you're finish second, those teams. You know, those teams

298
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 7: are all battling. You know, it's not like you're getting

299
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 7: a huge break there.

300
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 2: I'd rather take Minnesota than Detroit, right, going that way,

301
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 2: give me team versus Detroit.

302
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 3: Detroit might win the North. Right Troitt team, they can

303
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 3: win the North.

304
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely got a team. All right, we're gonna

305
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 2: take our first break. When we come back, We're gonna

306
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: jump into our off season review. We're gonna start with

307
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks. Are going to get into some conversation on

308
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 2: that will be at Dallas Cowboys dot com Radio.

309
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 9: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

310
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 9: cheetah Savannah.

311
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 10: Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought online was reliable,

312
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 10: and now Todd is trying to be faster than this

313
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 10: cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour. But the

314
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 10: good news is Todd has AT and T five G.

315
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,880

377
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 4: You know.

378
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 2: So, here's what we're going to do. We're going to

379
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 2: a off season review We've got We're going to go

380
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 2: through every position here over the next four shows. Today

381
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: we're going to focus in on the quarterbacks and the linebackers.

382
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 2: And I want to start with this simple question. We're

383
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 2: talking quarterbacks first. Are they better, worse, or the same

384
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 2: as they were in twenty twenty two.

385
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 3: I think they're better. I think they're better, and I

386
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 3: think they're better because they know what they have in

387
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 3: Cooper Rush. I think that's the thing. I think you

388
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 3: have to have a little bit of confidence. I know

389
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 3: there's a big turnover on the offensive staff, new line coach,

390
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 3: new running back coach, new play caller, you know, new OC.

391
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 3: You know, there's a lot of things going on here.

392
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 3: But I think that when you look at the quarterbacks,

393
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 3: their job is going to be to work with Dak Prescott.

394
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 3: We all understand that. But I think there's a confidence

395
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 3: within the organization about Cooper Rush. If we played to

396
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 3: a certain level, if we play a certain way, we

397
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 3: can win football games with him playing there. I mean,

398
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 3: you know, four and one during the year, heck had

399
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 3: a chance to win at Philadelphia. I mean if they didn't,

400
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 3: you know, if it was the first time in the

401
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 3: of his five games that he had some turnovers in

402
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 3: that game, or they might have had a chance to

403
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 3: win it. But I think they have to be really

404
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 3: confident about their backup situation and a lot of people

405
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 3: like Will Greer here as well, So I think they're

406
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 3: I think they're in a much better better spot.

407
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would probably just say the same, and that's

408
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 7: not anything bad or good. And the personnel's the same,

409
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 7: and so you know, with a new coaching staff and

410
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 7: new play callers, it could go better, could go worse.

411
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 7: So because of that, I would say the same. But

412
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 7: I mean, I think there's some optimism for for Dak,

413
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 7: you know. I mean those all those interceptions obviously weren't

414
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 7: on him, some of them were, so they could clean

415
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 7: those up, and let's see if you can take those

416
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 7: away and eliminate that and manage the game differently, and

417
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 7: then I think it could be better. I think I

418
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 7: think we're done with the Dak has to go win

419
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 7: the football game all the time, you know, forget the money,

420
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 7: forget what he's paying the salary and all that. Just

421
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 7: just go play the smart way. And I think if

422
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 7: they're all on the same page there, then I think

423
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 7: this offense could be better.

424
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 8: I think to me, I would be it would be

425
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 8: the same because so far, none of the changes they

426
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 8: have made is an indicator yet that it's going to

427
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 8: be improved or even worse. I mean, it's up in

428
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 8: the air. We'll see what happens there. But as far

429
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 8: as like what we've seen from Dak, we haven't really

430
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 8: seen him yet again out in the field really throwing

431
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 8: those passes to tell you, Okay, where he's at with

432
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,479
Speaker 8: the offense and the guy's catching the passes and all that,

433
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 8: and how is that running game going to be looking?

434
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:45,719
Speaker 4: Like?

435
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 8: What's the protection around him? But also one of the

436
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 8: things that does make me think that it could be

437
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 8: better is the fact, and you were mentioning, I think

438
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 8: yesterday off the show, Derek, how they use him running

439
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 8: with the football, him trying to escape using his legs,

440
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 8: the running game, quarterback sneaks and things like that. That

441
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 8: he's proven he's good at it. He's proven that he

442
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 8: can do it, and he's proven to be successful getting

443
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 8: into the end zone. I forgot how many touchdowns he

444
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 8: was able to get last year just running the ball.

445
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 8: But that's one aspect that I really hope they can

446
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 8: carry over this year as well and just really really

447
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 8: benefit from that that I think overall, as far as quarterback,

448
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 8: I think he can take it even further, he.

449
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 3: Might have to be their short yardage option without Ezekiel

450
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 3: Elliott here. You know, that's the one thing. I mean,

451
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 3: if you're one of those people that believe in analytics

452
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 3: and stuff, they will say that Zeke is you know,

453
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 3: it's five percent less than what you believe the averaging,

454
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 3: I mean, there's all these numbers you could throw out there,

455
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 3: but they're going to have to when we get to

456
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 3: the running back portion of this conversation, where are they

457
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 3: going to have that short yardage third and one? Third

458
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 3: and two? Is Is it going to be Dak Prescott

459
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 3: fourth one? Are they going to have to find a

460
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 3: way to make up for what we thought with our

461
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 3: eyes or saw with our eyes Ezekiel Elliott converting a

462
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 3: lot of those things. So the running aspect of Dak

463
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 3: maybe not as a scrambler, but the running aspect of

464
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 3: him being they got to get first outs and that's

465
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 3: that would be his area.

466
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 2: Speaking of Dak running the ball, and this was the

467
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 2: stat I throw out to you guys yesterday when I

468
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 2: was mentioning it. Dak average. He was average his second

469
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 2: highest total of rush attempts per game at three point

470
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 2: eight last year of his career, and it seemed like

471
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 2: a bit of a shock to me. Do you guys

472
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 2: think that that because it seemed like he didn't run

473
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 2: that much. But all that being said, do you guys

474
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 2: think that that's enough or do you think that they

475
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 2: really have to make more of a concerted effort of

476
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 2: integrating him more into the offense from the standpoint of

477
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,239
Speaker 2: using his legs and actually calling more plays for him

478
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 2: to run as opposed to him just running when the

479
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 2: opportunity presents itself.

480
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think there are some times on those those

481
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 7: read options that you know, I like to see him

482
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 7: keep it a little bit more. He's got to get

483
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 7: more comfortable doing it. I think some of those those

484
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 7: numbers were sneaks last year. And I'm gonna throw something

485
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 7: else out there about the quarterback sneaks. Everyone says, Okay,

486
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,479
Speaker 7: look at Philly, they're doing it. Jalen hurts, you know,

487
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 7: but Jason Kelcey. Don't forget that that he's the best

488
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 7: center in the league, and he knows how to get

489
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 7: leverage and he knows how to, you know, to create

490
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 7: a push. It's not just about the quarterback being strong.

491
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 7: That's part of it, but you also have to win

492
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 7: right off the line, and the Eagles have a good line,

493
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 7: and some of the teams that have quarterback snakes they

494
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 7: do it a lot. They have that offensive line, and

495
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 7: so be Honish Martin. Whoever's playing left guard, they have

496
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 7: to figure that out too, if they're gonna run those

497
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 7: quarterbacks snaks. So it's not always fourth in inches, it's

498
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 7: fourth and one and a half, Then what happens on

499
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 7: fourth and one and a half that's where you miss

500
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 7: zeke fourth one and a half and two. And I

501
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 7: think teams with like the Eagles, they'll still run the sneak,

502
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 7: especially if they're being able to push from the back.

503
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 7: They still they didn't change that rule, did they.

504
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 3: No, they didn't change that rule.

505
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 2: I don't think they will.

506
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 3: Actually, No, I think it's gonna be a little bit

507
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 3: different from the Eagles this year because of Cam Jurgens

508
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 3: now takes over at guard, and you know, and he's

509
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 3: not the bigger of the body of the guys, you know,

510
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 3: And so to me, with Dickerson and Jurgens and Kelsey,

511
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 3: that's that's a good size group, but it's not what

512
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 3: they've had before. And so maybe that'll that dynamic will

513
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 3: change a little bit for them. But yeah, Dallas, as

514
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 3: you mentioned, I mean, they've got questions at left guard.

515
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 3: Is that going to be Tyler Smith? Who is that

516
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 3: going to be? Is that going to be somebody that

517
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 3: you know? I mean, I think it's a lot different

518
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 3: to say if Steel would. I mean, everybody's talking about

519
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 3: Steel playing left guard, and I think that's to me,

520
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 3: that's just it blows my mind to even think of that.

521
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 3: But you know, it depends on who you have inside block,

522
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 3: and that really makes a difference.

523
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 8: No, I was just gonna say, I just hope that

524
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 8: the runs are intentional, not because it's out of need

525
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 8: and he's being forced to kind of just scramble and

526
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 8: try to get away. And also keeping in mind and

527
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 8: we talk about Cooper rush, the backup and all that,

528
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 8: but you got to always remember the more you run

529
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 8: as a quarterback, the higher the risk of you getting injured.

530
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 8: And this is not a year that I want to

531
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 8: see that happening whatsoever, especially when you talk about going

532
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 8: all in with the defense and everything that's happening this year.

533
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 8: But there are a lot of concerns on the with

534
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 8: the O line and the running game. I am very

535
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 8: very unsure as to how exactly that's going to look

536
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 8: like until I get to see Tony Poller actually running

537
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 8: a training camp with the ball.

538
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 7: You know, I was going to say this about a

539
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 7: left tackle. Usually when you have a domino effect, it

540
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 7: starts at the top and it kind of dominoes down

541
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 7: and affects other players. Left tackle or tackle seems to

542
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 7: be one that the domino might even start at the

543
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 7: bottom or in the middle, because look at Tyler Smith.

544
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 7: Most people think, all right, who is going to affect

545
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 7: where he plays? Tyron Smith and Terrence Steele. To me,

546
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 7: the wild card of it all is will let's go

547
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 7: if Matt will Letsko comes in and does what they

548
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 7: think he might do, that providing a left tackle, right

549
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 7: tackle swing type of guy. Now you've got and maybe

550
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 7: that both these other tackles are healthy. Now it just

551
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 7: makes sense to put Tyler Smith at left guard because

552
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 7: now you really are getting your your top five. So

553
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 7: I don't think it's just the domino effect a top

554
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 7: I think, if well, let's go show them something, he

555
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 7: could be the wild card in this whole thing that

556
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 7: they give them depth that they really need.

557
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 3: Are you more concerned about And I'll ask everybody here,

558
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 3: but are you more concerned about about Tyron Smith is

559
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 3: regressing as a player or his injury history?

560
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 7: Injury, his injury history, But but that does affect him

561
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 7: regressing as a player. Yes, I think they go hand

562
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 7: in hand a little bit. But I do think the injury.

563
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, as I'm watching him play, I'm where are you

564
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 3: playing him? See, that's that's the that's the problem. They're

565
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 3: gonna play at left tackle. I believe they're going to

566
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 3: play at left tackle, and so you know, and that's

567
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 3: his natural position, that's what he's done all these years.

568
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 3: I think for so many years now, we always talk

569
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 3: about him the potential of him getting injured, you know,

570
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,479
Speaker 3: and you just kind of know it. It's okay, we're

571
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 3: gonna miss three games. It's gonna be week seven, eight nine,

572
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 3: or it's gonna be you know, something's going to happen,

573
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 3: and then it'll be like, okay, well, then you know,

574
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 3: Tyler Smith will have to go back outside to me.

575
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 3: But I think it's more to Tyron Smith's game than

576
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 3: it is just the injury history. I think there is

577
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 3: some actual regression there as a player, and I and

578
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 3: I think maybe it is because of some of the

579
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 3: things that have happened to him throughout his career injury wise,

580
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 3: but when he was healthy, you know, I was expecting

581
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 3: that right side with him and Martin. It wasn't as

582
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 3: clean as it. And people could say, well, Brian, he's

583
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 3: a left tackle and all that. Well, then why did

584
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 3: they think that they had to play him? Why didn't

585
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 3: they move Tyler Smith over there?

586
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 2: Well, that's same on them, not saying on him necessarily, right.

587
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 3: So I'm saying though, that's what I'm saying. Though, Maybe

588
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 3: him being back on the left side will be better,

589
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 3: excuse me, will be better for him. Yeah, But I

590
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 3: just I don't know. There's times where I was seeing

591
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 3: a regressing player, and I'm thinking, why continue with a

592
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 3: regressing player? If you got this young player that has

593
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 3: this future at that spot, don't mess with the young

594
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,239
Speaker 3: player who's proven that he could play the position, you know,

595
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 3: don't make him have to play guard when he looks

596
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 3: like a natural left tackle. He looks like a young

597
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 3: Tyron Smith out there at times playing the way he's

598
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 3: moving around.

599
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 7: Just comes down to who that left guard is as

600
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 7: opposed to the left tackle For Tyron Smith, I mean,

601
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 7: what's your better option there? And also like how much

602
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 7: are we regressing?

603
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 3: You know?

604
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 7: I mean, I think Lebron James has probably regressed some,

605
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 7: you know, over his career, and he's still playing at

606
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 7: a high level. I want to see Tyler Tyron Smith regress.

607
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 7: I don't want to see that. But if he regresses

608
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 7: that left tackle, like all right, now, you're right now, now, right,

609
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 7: we gave him a pass for the right side, and

610
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 7: he was coming back from injury. Now he's had all

611
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 7: off season, now he's back to his normal position, and

612
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 7: it's still not there. Then yeah, I think that's.

613
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 3: So I definitely am going to keep the eye on

614
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 3: because to me, I I would have never believed this,

615
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 3: and I thought, man, they're going to have more power

616
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 3: over there on the right side, Martin and Smith, Tyron

617
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 3: Smith are going to get that done over there. They

618
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 3: didn't run the ball well enough over there. They just didn't.

619
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 3: And you know, there were a lot of things that

620
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 3: were going on, and there was a natural fit between

621
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 3: between Steel and Martin in the running game. You clearly

622
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 3: saw it that when they ran the football, those two

623
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 3: guys had it. They were working, and it wasn't the

624
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 3: same with and I think it's a little bit more

625
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 3: about the regression of Tyron Smith. And that's and and

626
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 3: you know, yeah, I worry about the injury history, but

627
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 3: I think we're starting to see I think we're starting

628
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 3: to see it. It show up a little bit more

629
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 3: of the regression part.

630
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 2: On that point, both of you guys talked about the regression.

631
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 2: Right now, if you had to order the tackles on

632
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 2: this team, where does Tyler I mean, where does Tyron

633
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 2: Smith fit in that?

634
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 3: I me, personally, I have to go with Tyler Smith

635
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 3: at left tackle and Terrence Still at right tackle. From

636
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 3: what I saw the way that they.

637
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 2: You think he's the third best tackle on this team.

638
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 3: I do right now, yeah I do.

639
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 2: What would you think?

640
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 7: I still? I mean, I'm just one of those benefit

641
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 7: of the doubt guys. So I give him, I give him,

642
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 7: you know, the first. But it's also because I know

643
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 7: that I can put Tyler Smith at left guard. See,

644
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 7: I'm just not worried about the left guard left tackle

645
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 7: for him because this isn't going to be something happens

646
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 7: for five years. See Tyrone Crawford, that was always a

647
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 7: thing because it was where was his best fit. But

648
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 7: Tyler Smith, like Tyrone's not gonna be here forever. So

649
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 7: if he's got one more year, fine, if he's not.

650
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 7: If he doesn't, he doesn't, But I'm okay with with

651
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 7: one more year because Tyler Smith is about the smartest

652
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 7: player in that locker. He's really smart. He can figure

653
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 7: that out. And I just don't think that he's going

654
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 7: to regress back and forth. And you know, because we'll

655
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 7: get this figured out.

656
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 3: The chance for regression of Tyler Smith and maybe for

657
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 3: all these offensive linemens if is if they're going to

658
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 3: really miss Joe Philbin. But I'm willing to give I'm

659
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 3: willing to give the new coach the opportunity, Mike Silari,

660
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 3: I'm willing to give him the new opportunity. There are

661
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 3: a lot of moving pieces on this offense, and most

662
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 3: of it's on the coaching staff. That's the thing that

663
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 3: you have to keep an eye on. How you know,

664
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 3: is Tyler Smith. And let's be honest, there's people in

665
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 3: the organization will admit this. You know, Joe Philbin wasn't

666
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 3: totally on board with Tyler Smith. But what did he

667
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 3: do with Tyler Smith? He coached him up. You know,

668
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 3: he said, Okay, maybe he's not my guy, but he

669
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 3: coached him up. He took a liking to Terrence Steele,

670
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 3: proved a lot of people wrong about Terrence Steele, including me.

671
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 3: You know, I do worry about when you flip I

672
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 3: think the I think the offensive line coach is probably

673
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 3: the third most important coach on the staff, the OC,

674
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 3: the DC offensive line coach, and you know, changing that

675
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 3: out is something that I always one way okay, and

676
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 3: then but you know, Zach Martin's coming out, Hey, I

677
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 3: really like what's going on here? Like what you know,

678
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 3: you hear that stuff, so that part of his encouraging

679
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 3: what you don't need is a pall out Alexander coming

680
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 3: in here. And in mid season they're all going, we

681
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 3: can't block the save our rears here, you know.

682
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 8: Because see that's the problem with to me, the benefit

683
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 8: of the doubt. The problem with the benefit of the

684
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 8: doubt is that it equates to a few games of

685
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 8: let's see how it's going. What are the results of

686
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 8: each and one of those games we don't know. And

687
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 8: to be fair, this staff has proven, as opposed to

688
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 8: the previous staff, that they're not afraid to make changes whenever.

689
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 8: And if you got to change someone out, switch them out,

690
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 8: take them out, they'll do it. But how how long

691
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 8: are they giving Tyren Smith and what is that looking like?

692
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 8: And at what point do you pull him out and say, okay,

693
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 8: there's other options, and then you got.

694
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 3: Might actual great. Yeah Tyron Smith might look great, and

695
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 3: it'd be in my concerns about it would be completely

696
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 3: you know, but it is concerns going forward. I've got

697
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 3: to the point now where I don't think about the

698
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 3: injury anymore. I just don't. I think out where is

699
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 3: he is a player? When he plays? You know, is

700
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 3: he still playing at this level? And I think there's

701
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 3: times last year where he wasn't And it might be

702
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 3: because he was on the right side there that might

703
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 3: have been you know, hey, good for him to go

704
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 3: out there and say, hey, I'll do whatever I have

705
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 3: to do. But the fact that a Hall of Fame

706
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 3: tackle said I'll play on the right side tells you

707
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 3: all you need to know about the left tackle that

708
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 3: you're trying to move to guard. Now that a Hall

709
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 3: of Fame tackle was willing to play right tackle so

710
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 3: the left tackle, who was doing damn well could stay

711
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 3: at a spot.

712
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 7: That's because the right tackle was hurt. The turn steel

713
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 7: was also hurt. I mean that that was part of

714
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 7: it too, So you know this, they got a lot

715
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 7: of moving parts. And the good thing is that when

716
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 7: you get to training camp, you know, Tyron Smith's not

717
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 7: going to be out there a ton It'll be he'll

718
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 7: be doing something that'll give a let's go, that'll give

719
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 7: I think, let's go.

720
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 3: I think yeah, Austin Richards Richards another one.

721
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:50,719
Speaker 7: He has a chance to get in there. So they

722
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 7: have a lot of depth there. And that's why Josh

723
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 7: Ball is going to be playing guard or both back

724
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 7: and forth. It's the biggest guard you've ever seen.

725
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 2: All Right, we're gonna take our first reckon we come back.

726
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 2: We're actually going to continue on the conversation of O

727
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 2: line that was not gonna be one of our positions.

728
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 2: We're going to make that a part to say, man,

729
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 2: let's talk a little bit about center, because I do

730
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 2: think that's a conversation worth having. Well, then when we

731

739
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,239

Speaker 2: st WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star presented by Middle

786
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 2: like the only beer of the Dallas Cowboys. We're continuing

787
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 2: our conversation on quarterbacks and offensive line. Let's talk about

788
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 2: the center position. Lash that's wrong.

789
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 3: I'm just laughing about how that quickly I tend to

790
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 3: do that.

791
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 2: That's I switched it, Okay, but it was fine, Like

792
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:56,439
Speaker 2: I do that all the time.

793
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 3: That's how we do it.

794
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 7: Linebacker Mike is still linebacker.

795
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: No, no, no, do that.

796
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 2: Don't know were you saving linebacker?

797
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 8: How hard Derek works.

798
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 2: I don't even want you to mention linebacker. No talk

799
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 2: of defense right, not that position? All right, center, Let's

800
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 2: talk about the honest he ended up in the Pro

801
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 2: Bowl last year in the mouth, I mean, I've just

802
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 2: I was like, get rid of this guy. Yeah, but

803
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 2: you know, honestly that that's where I was going with.

804
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 3: Let me save.

805
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 2: He went to the Pro Bowl. And you know we

806
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 2: see this sometimes NFL guys ended up in the Pro Bowl.

807
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 2: You can make it. It's an argument as to whether

808
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 2: they really are that caliber of player. Where is he

809
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 2: at this point in your mind? Is he a top

810
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 2: five player, which if you're in the Pro Bowl typically

811
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 2: you should be in that range. Is he that kind

812
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 2: of player. Was he a player that kind of got

813
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 2: the benefit of this guy couldn't go, this guy couldn't go,

814
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 2: So here you go.

815
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 7: I don't think it was that deep. I think it

816
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 7: was second, you know, second guy which make my top five, Yeah,

817
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 7: I think so. And he's played and he played on

818
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 7: a good team last year too, good offense that that

819
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 7: moved the ball, and so it plays on a lot

820
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 7: of those night games that we talked about. So and

821
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 7: you just didn't notice him a whole lot what you

822
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 7: did the year before fall starts bad snaps, you know,

823
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 7: getting kind of pushed back a lot. I thought he

824
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 7: when you're not noticing a lot from him, that means

825
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 7: he's doing his job. And I thought he did a

826
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 7: good jump.

827
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. When you when you look at overall about how

828
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 3: he might be the fourth best center in the conference.

829
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 3: When you start to talk about, you know, Philadelphia with

830
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 3: Kelsey Ragnow from Detroit, Jensen from Tampa, you know, those

831
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 3: are the guys that are kind of like everybody talks

832
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 3: about is the better centers. I would say he's somewhere

833
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,399
Speaker 3: in that conversation with those guys. I think we would

834
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 3: all you know, from what I've seen, might take those

835
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 3: guys over him, but he has gotten better. And that's

836
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 3: again what I talk about, maybe with the switch at

837
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 3: offensive line coach, are you going to hurt somebody's you know,

838
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 3: ability to get better if in fact now he's hearing

839
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,839
Speaker 3: a different message or a different techniques along the way.

840
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 3: But he doesn't take a backseat to any of those

841
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 3: guys I mentioned. All those other guys really good centers,

842
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 3: but he fits right into that group. When you look

843
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 3: at overall the run blocking skill, the pass blocking skill,

844
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 3: his ability to communicate with the others. You don't see

845
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 3: the break the breakdowns in the middle of the of

846
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 3: the offensive line with him. So I think that he's

847
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 3: probably in that top four or five in the conference,

848
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 3: is what I would say. And Jason be my main concern.

849
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 8: I mean, you've criticized him a moment, which fair. There

850
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 8: were areas, you know, areas of improvement, But to me personally,

851
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 8: when looking at the olne, he's never made. He's never

852
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 8: been my main concern. There also kind of tough when

853
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 8: you go from what you had in Travis Frederick. I

854
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 8: know we had him between Joe Looney right before Tyler

855
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 8: took over, but when you look at what you were

856
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 8: used to someone that barely ever made any mistakes with

857
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 8: Travis Fredericks, and then you get a guy like Kim

858
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 8: coming in here, rookie jumping into that role. I think

859
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 8: all in all, he's done a pretty decent job at

860
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 8: the position.

861
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

862
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 2: The only time I really worried about him was when

863
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 2: he was playing people like Vidavea, which you don't play

864
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 2: those guys every week, but when you played those guys.

865
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 3: It was the so does everybody that plays right exactly.

866
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 2: It's the strength that you worry about. But but you're right, Brian,

867
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 2: that's every every team playing them has that same concern.

868
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 3: Yeah.

869
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 2: I don't know if that necessarily takes him down in

870
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 2: my book as far as no he's.

871
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,720
Speaker 8: Been killed, you know, yeah, even when players playing players

872
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 8: like that.

873
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, he would just have moments in games like that

874
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 2: in the past be like WHOA, Well, So.

875
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 3: I think that I think, if you really want to

876
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 3: be honest with it, the breakdowns were more maybe on

877
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 3: the left side, on the on the left guard, and

878
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, you know, you're trying to help,

879
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 3: trying to cover you know, there's you know, they're really

880
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 3: there were times where I mean, he was dealing with

881
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 3: the revolving door over there at left guard, you know,

882
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 3: and how about going through the whole how about going

883
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,240
Speaker 3: through training camp, working with you know, with Tyler Smith

884
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 3: and others over there, and then now Tyler Smith has

885
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 3: to move to tackle a wait a minute, it's uh uh,

886
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 3: you know Connor McGovern over there, and now Connor McGovern's

887
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 3: kind of having his struggles and you know, oh wait,

888
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 3: now now I'm having my struggles. So it's not an

889
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 3: easy thing. But I think overall, to Amber's point, he

890
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,959
Speaker 3: hasn't been to the point where it's like every week

891
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 3: you're watching him and going, gosh, he is the He's

892
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 3: the reason we did it with Connor Williams. You know,

893
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 3: Connor Williams. Every week it felt like there were those

894
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 3: two or three plays where he just he was just overwhelmed.

895
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 3: And and maybe there were some times with Bey Oddish

896
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 3: that happened, but not as much as you did think.

897
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 2: If you had to wrap it up for this offensive

898
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 2: line discussion and say, do you think they're better, worse,

899
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 2: or the same as last year? What do you fall?

900
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 7: I think they're going to be better.

901
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:44,240
Speaker 3: I think.

902
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 7: Aweso mcgoverned, but I yeah, I think they they're just

903
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,720
Speaker 7: going to have a little bit more depth. The depth

904
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 7: across the line, I think be oddish is better, so

905
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 7: that you got to factor that part in still comes back.

906
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 7: You got a little bit more depth there at tackle

907
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 7: and and you know, well let's go and Richard's and

908
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 7: you're just throwing more things out there. Idoga at guard

909
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 7: he might be a good option there.

910
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 8: So I it's still a little fifth second.

911
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,919
Speaker 7: Year Tyler Smith second year should be I mean, yeah,

912
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 7: you're right, that should be a big jump for him.

913
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 7: Depends on where he plays. But I think he you know,

914
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 7: like I said, I think he'd be fine either way.

915
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 3: We've heard, you've heard my concerns about Tyron Smith. You

916
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 3: need to get steal back for sure. The thing with

917
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 3: well let's go is a great point. How well can

918
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 3: awesome Richards pick things up? This is not just a

919
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 3: fifth round. Sometimes in the fifth round you're taking a

920
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 3: guy from directional university that you know doesn't do this.

921
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 3: This kid played football in the ACC big time. He

922
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 3: should have been picked earlier than the fifth round on

923
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 3: my on my book, and I'll tell you Adoga is

924
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 3: the one the big unknown for me. Right now. You

925
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 3: know how they went and got a veteran guy will

926
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 3: usually does a pretty good job of protecting himself. With

927
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 3: those veteran type players, he might be the one guy

928
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 3: that steps in and fills in at that guard spot

929
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,320
Speaker 3: that allows them a little bit more flexibility at the

930
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 3: tackle spot. Those they've got it. To me, it's not

931
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 3: so much about the starters, it's about who the backups are,

932
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 3: because if the backups play well enough, that might be

933
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 3: able to solidify some other spots on the on the

934
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 3: starting five.

935
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would think, and you probably you've you've been

936
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 7: in these conversations. Everyone's got like support groups, cheering sections,

937
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 7: you know, the ones that that want Tyler Smith to

938
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,879
Speaker 7: play left tackle. They're also going to be really big

939
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 7: Idoga fans. Yeah, like, oh's good. I mean, he's good

940
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 7: at left guard. You know, just keep the guy at

941
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 7: tackle and the Adoga can do it. And the guys

942
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 7: that want to move him, they're like, this guy's not good.

943
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 4: You know.

944
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 3: Well, we didn't even mention Farniac either. Yeah, and Farniac

945
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 3: was a guy if you remember, and like at the

946
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 3: beginning of the season, what happened when McGovern went down

947
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 3: in the Tampa game, who was playing left guard? It

948
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 3: was Farniac and so there are guys that they like

949
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 3: a lot more than Brian Broadest likes. But Brian Bross

950
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 3: is doing radio and they're doing scouting, and that's and

951
00:41:59,080 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 3: we'll also.

952
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 2: See if they really still like him as much with

953
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 2: a new offensive line coach.

954
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 3: Right.

955
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 2: That's also part of it too, that that.

956
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 3: There, you know, these line coaches come in and they

957
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 3: get a little stubborn and they get a lot they

958
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 3: you know, well, this is not my well, none of

959
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,240
Speaker 3: these you know, Mike Solari, none of these are your guys.

960
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 3: Well maybe awesome Richards, awesome richards, TJ. Bass, Earl Bostic,

961
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 3: maybe those are your guys because you were part of

962
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,760
Speaker 3: the process that brought these guys.

963
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 2: To the Dallas And now, fairness to the coach, like,

964
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 2: there may be things he's asking them to do that

965
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 2: are different than what the previous offensive line coach was

966
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 2: asking them to do, and they may be better at

967
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 2: the things the previous offensive line coach wanted to do

968
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 2: and not as good at the as the ones he

969
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 2: wants them to do. It was what he wants them

970
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 2: to do.

971
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 4: Now.

972
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 3: I hope, my hope is that that that Mike comes

973
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 3: in here and then there's that group that they get

974
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 3: and they work all together and there's not a fractured

975
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,240
Speaker 3: If this is a fractured group there all of a sudden,

976
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 3: well this guy does this, and this guy does that,

977
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 3: and this guy doesn't do that. That, well, your offensive

978
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 3: line is not going to be as effective. And the

979
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 3: one thing that that that that Joe Philbin had when

980
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 3: these guys, when they were all healthy, they played really well.

981
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 3: They you know, have the season with Steel and Smith

982
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 3: and be Oddish and those guys got better. They got

983
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 3: better with him coach, and we'll see how it plays out.

984
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 2: To wrap up the quarterback conversation, I got a simple

985
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 2: question for you. Dak's interceptions will be more less or

986
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 2: about the same in twenty twenty three. It has to

987
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 2: be less.

988
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 7: It has to be less. This isn't working. Somebody else

989
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 7: is calling the plays something. There're gonna be a major

990
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 7: changes going on. Not major, not like Cooper Rush would

991
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 7: take over, but I mean he's got to be less.

992
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,919
Speaker 7: It was too many in just a short amount of time,

993
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 7: you know. I mean, you can't lead the league and

994
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 7: interceptions and also miss five games. So it's gotta be less.

995
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, there's nothing else to say to that

996
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 8: it absolutely means to you. Otherwise we're gonna have freaking

997
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 8: riots out here on fans. I mean, it's not going

998
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 8: to be good if it happens. If it happens to

999
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 8: be exactly the same as last year.

1000
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 3: The thing that scared me a little bit over the

1001
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 3: weekend was that Brian Schottenheimer told us this thing's not broke.

1002
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 3: You know, he started talking about that, that there were

1003
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,359
Speaker 3: things that you know, the first the previous coaches did

1004
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,879
Speaker 3: a fine job. Everything was fine about it. You know, Brian,

1005
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 3: I don't need to hear that. I really don't. There's

1006
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,359
Speaker 3: a reason why you made all those changes or coach

1007
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 3: made all those changes, because obviously there were some issues there,

1008
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 3: you know. You know, maybe it's coach speak and all that,

1009
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,760
Speaker 3: but to me, I would say, you know, if I'm

1010
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 3: a coach, I would think, well, yeah, we absolutely have

1011
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 3: to cut down on the turnovers. We sat down with

1012
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 3: Dak at the end of the season and told him

1013
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 3: we can't throw the ball here, we can't throw the

1014
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 3: ball here. You know. The thing that the thing that

1015
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 3: would would bother me, I think that it might be

1016
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 3: the same. I think it because I think you have

1017
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,879
Speaker 3: a quarterback that plays the way he does, and he's

1018
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 3: willing to throw ball in places he's probably not willing

1019
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 3: he's not supposed to. How many times did we, like

1020
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:06,879
Speaker 3: Nick or you guys would all be in the press

1021
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 3: conference after a game and he would go, I need

1022
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 3: to be better. Yeah, I need to be better. And

1023
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 3: it seemed like it was every week, and every question,

1024
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 3: even after a victory, would be what did you see

1025
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 3: when you threw that interception? You know, And it was

1026
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 3: always the question about the interception. I think it's I

1027
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 3: think it's in the player. I think it's in the player.

1028
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 3: I don't think you could sit there and pull the

1029
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 3: reins back on Dak and have him be the type

1030
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 3: of player he needs to be to win these games.

1031
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 3: And he plays on a lot of feel and guts,

1032
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 3: and you know, I think I can do this a

1033
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 3: lot of that, and maybe the skill isn't always there.

1034
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,320
Speaker 3: I have a feeling you're going to see some of

1035
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 3: the similar some of the things that happened, and whether

1036
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 3: you're willing to live with it or not, that's what

1037
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 3: it's going to be.

1038
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 2: I'll tell you. From my standpoint, I think it's actually

1039
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 2: gonna be a lot better and The reason why is

1040
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 2: because I think last year was a big function of

1041
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,800
Speaker 2: the fact that the receivers that he had just weren't

1042
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 2: good enough. And you can look at every position one

1043
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 2: through whatever number you want to go on the depth

1044
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 2: chart wide receiver, they are better this year than they

1045
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 2: were last year. Ceedee Lamb has ascended, in my opinion,

1046
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 2: to being one of the premier receivers in the NFL.

1047
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 2: Brandon Cooks is a better two than what you had

1048
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 2: last year, with whoever you want to put at two.

1049
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 2: Michael Gallup as a three is much better than than

1050
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 2: what definitely what you had at three last year. And

1051
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 2: my hope is that he's a better player than he

1052
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 2: was last year. And I still have hope for Jalen

1053
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,879
Speaker 2: Tobert as a fourth, fifth, whatever that is, guy that's

1054
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,359
Speaker 2: going to be trying to rise up the depth chart.

1055
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 2: So when you look at it, when you look at

1056
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 2: Dak and when he's had problems, you go back and

1057
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 2: look at that season where they had to go out

1058
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 2: and get Amari Cooper. That was another year where you

1059
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 2: were like, man, Dak doesn't look great, but it has

1060
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 2: something to do with the receivers he's throwing to. And

1061
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,359
Speaker 2: so I have every faith in the fact that if

1062
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 2: you bring in a Brandon Cooks, and they did bring

1063
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 2: in a Brandon Cooks, I think that changed the dynamic.

1064
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 2: I think Dak gets immediately better. And this has not

1065
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 2: been a problem that consistently throughout his career has existed.

1066
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 2: He's not been a turnover machine. So I think it'll

1067
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 2: be much better. We'll see how it goes, but I'm

1068
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 2: looking forward to him having a much better year here

1069
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 2: from the interception standpoint that he did in twenty twenty two.

1070
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,439
Speaker 2: All Right, we appreciate you guys. Jones back next week.

1071
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,839
Speaker 2: We'll get into some other positions of all these guys

1072
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 2: until we get there, and hopefully they'll stick to the

1073
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 2: script till then. For Nick even Brian brought us Ambergarci.

1074
