00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,559
Speaker 1: having technical difficulties, which for the listeners is a great

17
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: thing because Douglas well, now they can still hear him. Yeah,

00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 1: because they're gonna call in so true. But every time

Speaker 1: you talk to us, they hear you. Together get my

20
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: bleep together. All right, let's get to it because this

21
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: is a busy man in this building. You guys got

22
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: issues back here. Oh god, you have no idea. This

23
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: is just the beginning. This is a good day started.

24
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: I believe that we would like to welcome to the show.

25
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: Let me make sure I get this right. The assistant

26
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: director of College Scouting, correct, Chris Hall, How are you man?

27
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: It's been a while. I'm doing well. I've been a

28
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: few months. Yeah, keeping very busy? Is this year busy?

29
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: What's the busiest time of year for you? It's always

30
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: busy with what we do, believe it or not. It's

31
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: just a different part of the process depending on what

32
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: time of the year it is. Once college football gets going,

33
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: we're going full speed until the draft, so it just

34
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: changes gears on how we're attacking it. Basically depending on

35
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: what time of the year it is. How many guys

36
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: do you do you have that kind of roll up

37
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: underneath you. We basically have six area scouts that are

38
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: on the road full time, three more over the top guys,

39
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: and a director and then I get out a little

40
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: bit too, So there's eleven of us that are on

41
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: the road. You know, once we break out a training

42
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: camp in August until more or less after Thanksgivings, when

43
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: we kind of wrap up our fall tour, if you will.

44
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: As long as they're playing college football, we're out there

45
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: checking things out and getting information, watching practices, talking to coaches,

46
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: strength coaches, trainers, gathering as much intel as we can

47
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: during the fall, and we start breaking our list down

48
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: once we get into December. So you haven't quite started

49
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: narrowing and got the things down yet as far as

50
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: guys you're looking at. Not not yet. I mean, we're

51
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: still kind of painting with the big broad stroke right now.

52
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: And once we get everybody off the road, we have

53
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: some meetings in December after our combined meetings that we

54
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: belong to, and we kind of start really starting. That's

55
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: our first narrowing of the list and diving into who

56
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: we're going to be spending more time, really really putting

57
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: under the microscope as we get into the spring. Nice. Nice.

58
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: One of the reasons I wanted to have Chris on

59
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: today was yeah, thanks Kurt, Yeah, sure for having Chris,

60
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me, thanks for coming on. Was there

61
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: was so much debate and uh concern about giving up

62
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: a number one pick for Amari Cooper. I was just

63
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: interested from a scouting Wait before you, before you get

64
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: further down this line, did you prep Chris on what

65
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: you were going to ask him? Were you blindsiding because

66
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: we know how you like to blindside folks. Okay, all

67
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: right now, I gave him little heads up, sure, but

68
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: just from the I know you can't get real specific

69
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: on details, but just overall, how to scouting fit into

70
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: this that you say, you know, because giving up in

71
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: number one it's a hard thing to do. I mean,

72
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: how did how did this fit into the process? Sure,

73
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: you know, my part of the price says being the

74
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: college guy isn't isn't a whole lot in depth with

75
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: when we're making personal moves on the pro level and

76
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: everything that's that's more our pro department and Will McClay

77
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: of course spearheads all that. But you know, on the

78
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: back end of it, we really really spend a lot

79
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: of time dissecting all the mechanics of this move. And

80
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: obviously you never ever like to give up a first

81
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: round pick and sit there idol on Thursday night of

82
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: the draft while you know thirty one other teams are

83
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: getting better with a top player. But that being said,

84
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: the opportunity to acquire a player of Amari's talent, who

85
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: was the fourth overall pick in the draft just a

86
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: few years ago and has been to Pro Bowls and

87
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: has the pedigree that he's got, you got to really

88
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: look at that hard and and when you look and

89
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: see that he's still under a pretty good contract number

90
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: for one more year, there's a lot of positives about

91
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: acquiring a player like that, even with the sacrifice of

92
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: giving up a high pick like that. And you know,

93
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: I think you can see right off the Battamar he

94
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: has had a great impact on our team here in

95
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks that he's been here, and when

96
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: we certainly expect that to continue, not just this year

97
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: but into next year as we make a decision on

98
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: whether to extend him or not. Was there a lot

99
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: of debate about giving up to number one. I think

100
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: there's always debate about that. Anytime you're giving up a

101
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: draft pick, whether it's a number one or a number

102
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: six or a seven, you're still it's it's a potential

103
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: asset of the future that you're that you're giving up

104
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: for something that you hope can help now end in

105
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: the future. So you know, you always really go through

106
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: it very thoroughly as to what the are what are

107
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: we passing on by doing this, And you know, it

108
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: wasn't just getting a Mari, but it was looking at

109
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: what might be available next spring in the receiver crop

110
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: and not just the receiver crop, but I mean overall,

111
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: because it's not just we're going to take a receiver

112
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: next year with our first pick. I mean, we got

113
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: a lot of debate whether we made the right move

114
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: with Layton vander Asher Calvin Ridley here, you know, that

115
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: was always a big debate too. And you look at

116
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: it and Ridley and Amaria are almost the same age.

117
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: But Amari's got a lot of pro experience right now

118
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: going for him. So we can have have it in

119
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 1: and out about why it was a good trade or

120
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: a bad trade, or it was the one too much,

121
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: or it should have been a two, and what were

122
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: other teams offering. But for us, we felt like it

123
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: was a good deal, you know, to make that deal

124
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: to make our football team better and in the future.

125
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: The way I've looked at it is we got our

126
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: number one pick now, I mean yeah, because we weren't

127
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: gonna way the way at least the impression I got

128
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: from scouting, and what I read was that kind of

129
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: talent wasn't going to be available next year certainly, And

130
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: and and the people that liked the trade, that's how

131
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: they look at Yeah, and you know what, and you know,

132
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see the good or the bad of

133
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: this trade down the road. And I think we got,

134
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: you know, beat up a little bit by some trades

135
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: in the past that didn't work out as well as

136
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: we hope they would with receivers and number one picks.

137
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: But it's not fair to judge Amari in this trade

138
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: by by what did or didn't work out with with

139
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,799
Speaker 1: Roy Williams or Joey Galloway things we did in the past.

140
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: And you're you're on the college side, but how much

141
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: how much are you involved in when when it comes

142
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: to getting a player that's currently in the league and

143
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: it comes to the mixture of kind of the college side,

144
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: which is the draft and the players that are available

145
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: to evaluating the talent on the pro side, is that

146
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: a completely different stuy that's out of my jurisdiction. That's

147
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: our pro guys that really work through that, and they

148
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,559
Speaker 1: do a great job of study and tape and looking

149
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: at what's available in anything. You know, on a trade

150
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: something like that, I might get a hey, what's the

151
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: receiver class look like coming up in this in this

152
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: current draft? Or how many are there true starting quarterbacks

153
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: coming up in this draft? Or you know, just a

154
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: little bit of look at what we think is coming

155
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: coming down the pipe. And the hard part about that

156
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: is you don't even know who all these juniors that

157
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: are going to be in the draft. I mean, there

158
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: were there were almost a hundred of them that entered

159
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: last year, and we had a good majority of them identified,

160
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: but then there were some late to the party guys

161
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: that you know, make the draft a little stronger too,

162
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: that you you don't know until you get into January. Now,

163
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: the real question is now that we don't have a

164
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: number one at this point, does this make you you

165
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: you have to really really dig down and I know

166
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna still look at potential first rounds because you

167
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: can always move back in your question. But now that second,

168
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: that second pick becomes becomes our first pick. And so

169
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: now does it make you just reset yourself? You know,

170
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: you do you keep down the same road, be the

171
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: same process. I think you really keep down the same

172
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: process because you never know how the draft is going

173
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 1: to play out. You never know who's gonna We may

174
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: end up with a first round pick somehow, some way again,

175
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: or we may end up with a third round pick,

176
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: or you still have to evaluate the guys and give

177
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: them the same the same work rate, the same load

178
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: as as you would if you had all your picks. Anyway,

179
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: you know, we're apt to move up and down that board.

180
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: Everybody knows throughout the years how we've done that. We've

181
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: probably been a little more conservative in the last few

182
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: years compared to some of the horse trading that we

183
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: did in the past. But you still have to be

184
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: prepared for anything. You could wake up and all of

185
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: a sudden, somebody's calling and offering you the fifth pick

186
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: in the draft, and it looks like it's a pretty

187
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: good deal and you like somebody there, So you've got

188
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: to be ready for that. What's the brought that up?

189
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: Somebody offers you a pick? What's the dynamic on draft

190
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: day when you're you're in the war room and you're

191
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: in there, and I'm sure sometimes you're just kind of

192
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: sitting back and you're waiting and you're watching kind of

193
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: like most people. But then sometimes the phones might heat up.

194
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: What's the dynamic? Like when someone does call and offers

195
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: a pick, do they how does that conversation work? Is it, hey,

196
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: we're thinking about moving or you guys interested? Or is it, hey,

197
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: we're willing to give this up to get this How

198
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: how does that work? It's different with each team that

199
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: you deal with. Some of them are very straightforward with you.

200
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: Some of them will come out fishing to see what

201
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: they might ain't be able to get out of you.

202
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: You know, everybody, you're trying to win the trade. Whenever

203
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: a trade comes up. You know, there's all these different

204
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: point charts, and way back in the day, we originated

205
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: that point chart, and then there became an alternate chart,

206
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: and there was about six or seven different charts that

207
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: go around now. And you know, who really knows who

208
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: wins that. You know, at the end of the day,

209
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: if you get what you want and you feel good

210
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: about it, then you want Yeah, you know, who cares

211
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: if you lost thirty points or they beat you by

212
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: or you know, did you make a good trade that

213
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: you feel good about now to help your team win? Yeah, exactly.

214
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: And we were talking also a little bit before about

215
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: how young this team is. That's got to be I

216
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: mean more pressure than ever now in the way this

217
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: game's running to bring guys up through the draft of

218
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: a thing it is, and that's where you see and

219
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: feel the importance of the salary cap and being able

220
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: to manage your contracts. And when you've got younger guys,

221
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's cheaper labor. Would you say the youngest

222
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: starter is right now for our team? Yeah? It was

223
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: it right now, the youngest starter. It's Cole Beasley. I

224
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: mean not the oldest starter, oh, the oldest. Yeah, I

225
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: don't you know. We don't have a thirty year old

226
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: starter on our team. Sean was the oldest starter, and

227
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: with him being down, we don't have anybody that's over

228
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: thirty other than LP. And I think that's the first

229
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: time in Cowboys history really they've been a starter. I

230
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: don't have to I haven't done that. I think Cole's

231
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: the oldest player. That is insane. Never had no team

232
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: in the history of Cowboys as head. Yeah. They showed

233
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: up a graphic. I caught it whenever I was in

234
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: the photography room. Showed a graphic that the core defensive unit,

235
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: there's one guy that has ever played a game anywhere

236
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: else for us, and that's Antoine Woods and he played

237
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: one game for Tennessee and everybody else has been with

238
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys the rest of their career, which is crazy

239
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: if you think about it. I like to think we're

240
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 1: doing our job. Yeah, right, Speaking of what's kind of

241
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: the buzz with you guys on on vander ash Because

242
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 1: obviously there's always when you're kind of in the middle

243
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: of the draft or kind of lower in the first round,

244
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: there's always well, you could have picked this guy, you

245
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: should have picked this guy. How you guys feel about

246
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: Vanderess and the way I know the fans are super

247
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: excited about him, and he's just been playing kind of

248
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: out of his mind lately. Yeah, I mean, Leyton's had

249
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: a great run here lately, and especially since he's had

250
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: to step up and play a lot more snaps with

251
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: Sean being down, and you know, he's he's very quickly

252
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: become the player that we thought he could that we

253
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: thought he could be, and you know, with an interception

254
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: this week, and did you think he would be there

255
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: this fast? Though? Um, we didn't think we would have

256
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: to have him this fast. I mean, obviously with him

257
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: and Jay, with Seawan and Jalen, we needed some more

258
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,599
Speaker 1: insurance back there. Damien's a great linebacker two. And we

259
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: brought in some free agent stuff that that's helped too

260
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: with Joe Thomas, you know, and he's been out and

261
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: people kind of forget about him. Joe's a pretty good

262
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: ball player too. But the fact that Layton has jumped

263
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: in and played all these snaps and played at a

264
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: high level and we haven't dropped off, and we've got

265
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: him and Jalen running to the ball and making plays.

266
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: There are two leading tacklers. To have Layton as our

267
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: leading tackler on the team right now, and he was

268
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 1: splitting time the first few weeks of the season. I

269
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 1: mean that says a lot about him. And and he's

270
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: making big plays for us too. I mean two huge

271
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: plays the other night in the game that you could

272
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: really argue were the catalyst the interception and start the game,

273
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: and then that play he made on that screen pass

274
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: at the end of the game that got us off

275
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: the field. I mean, that was that was a big,

276
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: big play. Yeah, here are you so quiet, Nate, because

277
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: y'all to asking the right questions. Do you know, do

278
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: you know our friend Nate Newton, very familiar. We usually

279
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: have to introduce Kurt on the show, but today we're

280
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: gonna have to introduce Nate. No, no, no, you're great question.

281
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he's coming with everything proper way, And the

282
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: only thing I need to know abody was how they

283
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: was gonna do this process knowing that we may not

284
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: have number one. And so when he answered that right there, mant,

285
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: you know, just y'all asking all the things I think

286
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: the fans would want to know. So hats off too.

287
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: You are you as excited for the draft now that

288
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: we don't have a number one? Yeah? I mean you are.

289
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 1: You're still always excited for it. I mean because you're

290
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: still building your team. Yeah, and you're gonna get good players.

291
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: And you know everybody throws these grades on your draft afterwards,

292
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: but I promise you there's thirty two war rooms. When

293
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: they walk out of there, they all think they made

294
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: their full pride better. Yeah. Right, but somebody's gonna get

295
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: in f and somebody's gonna get a D plus and

296
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: all that nonsense. But you don't know what your draft

297
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: is until a few years down the road. Anyway, what's

298
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: the biggest the biggest change over the years as far

299
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: as draft with all the new technology and the new

300
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: you know, you guys have that big, huge video touch

301
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: screen and that's cool. But as far as like evaluating talent,

302
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: has that changed much? I know technology has and stats

303
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: and all that, but do you guys still kind of

304
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: go through the like you used to back in the

305
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: old days. The bottom line is you're evaluating football players

306
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: playing football, and you trying to let all the the

307
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: the combine numbers and the pro day workouts take you

308
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: too far away from what the guy did in the fall,

309
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: because that at the end of the day, that's his

310
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: real resume that tells you what kind of football player

311
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: he is. And the guts of it is always going

312
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: to be that. It's it's watching game film, it's dissecting

313
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: that and putting that together. We've got all these other

314
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: things that help us dig into what the player is.

315
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: And analytics has obviously become a huge part of pro football,

316
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: pro sports period, and you know, we've we've upped our

317
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: analytics department this past year. We've added a couple of

318
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: people back there, and there's there's more things to look

319
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: at and it's a part of the puzzle. It's not

320
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: the answer. Just like you know, there's all these different

321
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: parts that go into it. Who the player is, who

322
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: the person is, But you got to put all that

323
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: together and then come up with who you feel is

324
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: the best guy to help your football team continue to

325
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: win football games. So what you're saying, the analytics meet

326
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: I content, I appraisal. Then you got something going. You

327
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: feel a little bit better about it. You know, when

328
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: the numbers and the eyeballs match up and you feel like, okay,

329
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: everything's pointing us in this direction, you know, and that's

330
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: when you really feel good about your pick. Put you

331
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: on the spot a little bit. Is there a is

332
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: there a favorite draft story that you have, or a

333
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: favorite post draft story or a war room story that

334
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: you can share with us that's or something that you

335
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: remember on a draft day that was like that was

336
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: kind of unique or funny or pull the curtain back

337
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: a little bit and you may not be able to

338
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: tell anything. Oh, there's there's a lot of there's a

339
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: lot of funny ones that have happened in their own

340
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: years obviously, but you know some some that will never

341
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: come out of the vall that I probably shared before,

342
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: But you know, I mean, the one of my favorite

343
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: ones about with Jerry was back in the year that

344
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: we took Roy Williams and we seem to cause just

345
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: a boatload of chaos up there in New York at

346
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: the draft when it looked like we passed on the pick.

347
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: But Jerry was actually talking to three different people. I

348
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: say Jerry, but the whole room was working three different people.

349
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: We had. We had the Chiefs in the mix, the

350
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: Jaguars in the mix, and the Vikings in the mix.

351
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: And the long story short is we ended up getting

352
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: the Vike. Jerry ended up getting the Vikings personnel guy

353
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: to tell them who tell him who they were gonna pick,

354
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: so we knew it wasn't Roy Williams. And Jacksonville was

355
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: kind of hanging in the background. They were kind of

356
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: wasting our time. But we ended up making a deal

357
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: with Kansas City and we got an extra sixth round

358
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 1: pick out of them, I think because we knew who

359
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: they were going to take two and neither one of

360
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: them were going to take the guy we wanted, which

361
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: was Roy, So we knew we had the deal and

362
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: it was just a matter of getting the most out

363
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: of the deal. And he really manipulated it marvelously, but

364
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: it took it to the last second and people thought

365
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: we passed on the pick. So then I forget which team,

366
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: they tried to run their pick up there, and there

367
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: were two cards in there at the same time, and

368
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: the poor TV commentators had no idea what was going on.

369
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: But we'd actually traded the pick and we ended up

370
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: getting Roy, who you know, we would have taken if

371
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: we stood there with the sixth pick, but we got

372
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,239
Speaker 1: him with the eighth pick, and we actually picked up

373
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: some extra draft picks along the way with it, and

374
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: and Jerry worked it magnificently that year. Man, I bet

375
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: that is fun to be in that room and all

376
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: that wheeland he's going on. Oh, I bet that it's crazy.

377
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: It is. There's a it's kind of our game day,

378
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: you know, for personnel, guys and scouts, and you just

379
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: kind of it's fun to watch it unfold and you get,

380
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: you know, disappointed when guys you like go off the board,

381
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: and you kind of watching the guys and then they

382
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: got and then they got to come up with, Oh,

383
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: we got every guy we wanted. We got everybody the board. Okay,

384
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: been in any concerts lately? Uh still and curt I

385
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: did go see Azzy on his last little did you here?

386
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: And it was it was entertaining for an old seven

387
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: to your old guy still throwing buckets of water. I

388
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: cannot believe that guys alive. Yeah, for sure. We were

389
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: debating whether we should see Kisses Final tour. Oh yeah,

390
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: they're rolling through here, aren't they. They're gon be at

391
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: the AEC right. Let me know if y'all go, I

392
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: may be down with. You know, it's never a big

393
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: kiss for him, and it's one of those things I

394
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: feel like maybe I should. You need to go see

395
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: I've seen them twice. I think I'm not a huge fan,

396
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: but of their music it's not that great, but just

397
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: the theatrics is pretty cool. So if you'll go now

398
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: that Gil Branch and the Ring of Honor, does the

399
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: entire scouting department feel like a path has now been

400
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: opened for you in the future. Are we're gonna see

401
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: Chris Hall in the Ring of Honor anytime? So you

402
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: don't even think about stuff like that. Man, You're just

403
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: trying to help this team get better. And that is

404
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: a great honor for Gil and much deserved. Uh. You know,

405
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: he's he's done so much for for not just the Cowboys,

406
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: with the game of football and college football and and

407
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: the things people don't even know about what he's done

408
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. Is he's had a fabulous career and

409
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: it's great to see him get rewarded with the Ring

410
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: of Honor and have the opportunity hopefully to get a

411
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: gold jacket along the way too, as that comes out

412
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: in the spring. Well, awesome, Chris, thank you so much

413
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,000

414
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna have you on more often, but Kurt doesn't

415
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: agree with us, so he only bought you about every

416
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: six months. You know, he has to come in and

417
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: deal with our insanity. I don't want to beat him

418

Speaker 1: down too much. Trust me, I live in plenty of

419
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:34,000

00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: got one? He said, you know, I heard what happened?

465
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 1: They said man. If Philip Fan beat up his son,

466

Speaker 1: he said, well, well, yea, I'm gonna call my dad.

491
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: get to talk to you yesterday. What do you think

492
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: about the game? I was very surprised, but very glad,

493
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: very happy about that was nice. It was good to

494
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 1: see it again once again. We saw what they're capable

495
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: of and now it's let's do it again. What what

496
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:57,239
Speaker 1: do you think they did? Right? Fed Zeke stuck with it,

497
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: stuck with it, which we've seen him go away from

498
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 1: him over and over again, and it was nice to

499
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if the line changed there, it left

500
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,959
Speaker 1: guard made a difference, but uh, I mean, Philly obviously

501
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 1: has a tough line. They got their shots in. But

502
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: to see Zeke do what he did what he did

503
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: through that paint play calling and his the execution man,

504
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: that was great to see. They're showing the replay right

505
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 1: now as we speak on the NFL Network. So Nate.

506
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,239
Speaker 1: Kurt gave me a stat here. I only get your

507
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: opinion on this Sunday mark the fifth times Zeke's rush

508
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: for one hundred and fifty yards in his career and

509
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: the previous four times he did not crack one hundred

510
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: yards the next time out. Is that just coincidence or

511
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: is that he takes such a beating when you run

512
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: for that many yards that you need to you're still recovering.

513
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what why is that? But

514
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,239
Speaker 1: I know one thing he should be able to do

515
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: this against Atlanta. Atlanta defense isn't that great. They're gonna

516
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: stack the box. But Kurt, I think I think you

517
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: noticed they threw that ball this week. Yeah, he threw

518
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: it with thirty one thirty nine times. Yeah, that's that's

519
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: the one through the ball this week thirty six times.

520
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: And that that is so nice to know that you know,

521
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: everybody's on the spot and they're trying to figure out kidding.

522
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: This quarterback truly be our quarterback and it was just

523
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: nice for him to drop back and throw the ball

524
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: and make some connections. I liked it. I liked that

525
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: part of the game. That was one thing, and looking

526
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: at the numbers for Zeke. I mean he only carried

527
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: the ball nineteen times. I mean that you look at

528
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: those previous games where he had one fifty you know,

529
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: it was twenty eight, twenty three, thirty three, twenty five rushes,

530
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: so you'd hope that I think overall you had twenty

531
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: five touches counting the six catches he had, So he

532
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: maybe didn't take the same punishment this time around, which

533
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: would hopefully lead to um, you know, not wearing out

534
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: or whatever. If again, if that makes a difference, you

535
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: know what, I don't think they should make a difference.

536
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: I mean not at this point in his career, and

537
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: not especially since he hasn't ain't like he'd been tolking

538
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: the ball thirty times a game. He should be fred

539
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 1: and ready to go against Atlanta. I mean, Weather's not

540
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: gonna be a factor's inside us. He hasn't told, told

541
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: he hasn't random ball a whole lot this season. So

542
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: offensive line, uh got some momentum, quarterback got some momentum.

543
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: We should we should uh we should open the floodgates. Man.

544
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: It shouldn't be no play that we shouldn't be able

545
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: to call inside of the Atlanta facton's burden is speaking

546
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: of play calling. They played a clip and I don't

547
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: remember which radio station it was on, it was on

548
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: one here in the Dallas area this morning when I

549
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 1: was driving into work, and they the Eagles. If you

550
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: think this is the only team that the fan base

551
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: questions the play calling in the media, you're wrong, because

552
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: they were asking Carson Wentz after the game in the

553
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: locker room the same questions that they have here locally,

554
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: and one of the reporters asked, him, hey, does it

555
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: it's something roundabout way of does it you do? Do

556
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: you think there's you know, a reason why, you know?

557
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: It seemed like they knew what plays you were calling

558
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: before the plays were called, and blah blah blah, and

559
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: he was like, is that a question? And then he

560
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 1: came back with a follow up, like, you know, basically

561
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: the play calling is very predictable, and he said, yeah,

562
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: that's a good observation, and that was basically it was

563
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: so there, Yeah, well they're basically asking them the same thing.

564
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 1: You do this on first down, you do this on

565
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,479
Speaker 1: second down. It's very predictable. So apparently we're not the

566
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: only team that's fan base questions the offensive play calling

567
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: after a loss. You know, everything's great. You can have

568
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: the same game plan and win a game and going

569
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: to the same thing and lose a game, and you

570
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: know there's an issue after a loss super Bowl, honeymoon's over.

571
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: And that's why. Yeah, and that's why I don't That's

572
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: why I don't ride to create creativity train. You know,

573
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: because did you feel like they opened it up more

574
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: in that game? Yeah? Because one, because of two, because

575
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: of three, people played better. And you know, the offensive

576
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: line as a whole, I think played a little bit better.

577
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: I knew our quarterback through the ball much better. And

578
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper made them play. Honest, MARII Cooper makes you

579
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: when when when when mister hearns have to can uh

580
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: can see a second or third or fourth corner? When

581
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: when when Cole can have that same ability to see

582
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: that second or third corner, they're better than second or

583
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: third corner. So they go, they route a crisper and better.

584
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: Now dak is seeing what it's all about to have

585
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: a clear field. When when most times four cheeses dropped

586
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: back in his own. If if that man come in

587
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: his own, they take it. You know, already played straight

588
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: up man and blitz us bring two or three extra

589
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: men because they like, we'll beat the router. So now

590
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: you got a Mary standing out there and they ain't

591
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: happening that way. One thing I don't think nobody noticed

592
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: is this, Oh, man, look how Christmas Rose is. But

593
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: you say, would you ever say, man, look how fast

594
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: is Rosse? I was gonna say he wants him and

595
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: Dad get that timing that that one he one he

596
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: was wide open on and then the other one whenever

597
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: he missed him in the corner of the end zone.

598
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: He had probably what three steps on that guy. And

599
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: if Dad would have just put it backed it off

600
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: a little bit. So if they get that timing going, Man,

601
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: I think he showed you this game like what he's

602
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: capable of doing, and you keep what he brings and

603
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: he it sounds like talking to some of the guys,

604
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: he makes this offense better because these guys step up.

605
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: These guys are like, Okay, this guy's due, this guy's

606
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: doing this over there on that side. I gotta do

607
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: what I gotta do to get my job done. And

608
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: like you said, it keeps the defense at bay. Yeah,

609
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: because this is this is a guy that can take

610
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: it to the house. Him and Zeke. Maybe you're only

611
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: two guys that that can actually break a game open

612
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: by themselves in this league, Man Steven's. The coordinators would

613
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: take liberty with you if you don't make them act right.

614
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: She's like a little small child. They would take liberties

615
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: and see you spanked that behind and when you spank

616
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: that But well, I know I ain't supped to say that.

617
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Well y'all put him in the corner and

618
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: having the timeouts. I'm sorry. In myles, you get whoop?

619
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: Did you get but whippons when you was a kid? Yeah?

620
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: I did. It wasn't regular thing, but it did happen.

621
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, I just wondering. I was impressed. What

622
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: kind of impressed me about that game too? Was Presscott?

623
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: I mean he was bad to start out with. I

624
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: mean he missed some throws, he took some sacks. At

625
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: the first half, he got sacked three times, and we've

626
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: seen him when that happens. You know, this line was

627
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: a mask that he just he can't recover, and he

628
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: recovered in this game. He came back. He drove him

629
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: that fourth quarter. He was outstanding, I thought, and let

630
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: a couple of drives I mean, I just laugh, man,

631
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: because it's all about trust me, like trust. Yeah, he

632
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: trusts his offensive line, he trusts his receivers. Now we

633
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: get to see you know now he let it go

634
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,479
Speaker 1: and don't panic it's bad. Before he was letting it go,

635
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: like huh is he gonna be there? And and you know,

636
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: and it makes people mad, it makes people upset, but

637
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: everybody ate the same talent level, you know, Like I

638
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: thought I was a big hot dog offensive lima. Then

639
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: he him hate him, Mary Wave hate him that. Rather

640
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: you'd be like, wow, don't don't get mad, get better. Yeah,

641
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: don't get upset, get better. You know it's called it's

642
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: called friends and fire baby within your own camp. We

643
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: need that on the wall around here. What's that don't

644
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: get mad, get better? We're going to lunch for him tomorrow.

645
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: That's on the TVs and there. Yeah you and fish

646
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: killer them put it up, killer Kurt, Yes, Sir. Troy

647
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: Egman had some words today on a local radio station.

648
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: I don't know which one, but yeah, he was on

649
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: one of the low sports talk shows and he said, well,

650
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: there was the exact quote here right now. If I

651
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: had to pick someone, I'd pick Dallas to win the

652
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: NFC East, which kind of shocked some people because last

653
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: week he was talking about the organization was kind of

654
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: needing some help. But his view, and I wanted to

655
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: get your opinion on it, was, you know, it all

656
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,719
Speaker 1: depends on these next three games. You got to win

657
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: these next three games. If you go into the Saints

658
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: game at six and four, even if you've dropped that one,

659
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: your last three games are against pretty easy opponents, and

660
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: so they've kind of they've got themselves back in the race,

661
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: I think in some ways. So you're at the Falcons, yeah,

662
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: which they just got thumped by the Browns, got the

663
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: Redskins at home, who are banged up. Saints at home,

664
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: that's the one you got. You got to be I

665
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: think you got to win these next two Eagles at home,

666
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: which you've proven you can beat them at home, at

667
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: the Colts in the last three or Bucks Bucks at home,

668
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: and then Giants found themselves. I think so Cold is

669
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: a better team. I ain't never counting out that quarterback.

670
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: I ain't never counting him out. Look, I've seen him

671
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: be down by twenty points going into the fourth quarter

672
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: and y'all a sudden they win. So you got to

673
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: you got to punch them out. Do you think the

674
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: playoff hopes right on these next two games? I think

675
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: having a good season ride on the next two games.

676
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: You know, you know, Yeah, it's just hard for me

677
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: to discount Washington. They are doing it. They are doing

678
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: it how we thought we would be doing it, being gritty, tough,

679
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: tough and determined. They are doing it. Like yeah, but

680
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: you know what, they banged up on the offensive line

681
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: and they got and they got a great offensive line coach.

682
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: He will find a way to get them guys through

683
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 1: that game. Have you had a chance to watch Washington's

684
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: offensive line with the backups in just a little bit,

685
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: not much. I didn't watch a lot of that game

686
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: because I was like, these dudes are gonna miss run him.

687
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: In our perspective, we hope that they don't play well

688
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: with those guys, but I guess we'll see. Well, they

689
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: only put what sixteen points up this week? Yeah, and

690
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,240
Speaker 1: they gave up four hundred and five hundred yards offense,

691
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: so they just couldn't score score, So I don't what counts. Yeah, right,

692
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: I just like where they're at now. Maybe I'm writing this,

693
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:26,280
Speaker 1: I'm on this love roller coaster, as you called it yesterday. Yeah. Um,

694
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: feeling good right now, and I think these next two

695
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: games are very winnable. And then you just you can

696
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: deal with the Saints and then you you know, if

697
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: four games you're thinking, I will feel a lot better

698
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: about it Sunday. If you're able to win two games

699
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: in a row and you went them both on the road.

700
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: I knew. I knew yesterday the way you were talking

701
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: that you was not all in on the Dallas Cowboys.

702
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: I could tell you haven't canceled his Mexico tral. Man,

703
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: I'm not all in. I will be. We're not taking

704
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: calls to day because you just affected the whole man

705
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: read another thing. Man, I'm not all in. You know

706
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: why I'm not all in? But why not all in?

707
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: All yet? Let me let me tell you why you

708
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: lost at the Panthers, Right, Okay? You won. You won

709
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: against the Giants at home. You lost against the Seahawks

710
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: in Seattle. You won against Detroit at home. You lost

711
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: against the Texans in Houston. You won at home against Jacksonville.

712
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: Did you lost on the road against the Redskins? You

713
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:37,280
Speaker 1: won at home against the Titans. We did? We lost?

714
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: You won on the road against the Eagles. So guess

715
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,240
Speaker 1: what this means. You're gonna lose on the road against

716
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: the fives because you hadn't put two wins together. Every

717
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 1: TIS team wins, it looks like what we think it

718
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: should look like, but then it doesn't for two or

719
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,720
Speaker 1: three weeks. Right, So went on the road in Atlanta,

720
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: and then I feel a lot better. I like it.

721
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,439
Speaker 1: I think they I'm hoping that they've turned the corner

722
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: because of Marie Cooper. And I hate to say it,

723
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 1: but maybe you've got an experience left guard in there

724
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: that I don't know how big a difference. I wouldn't

725
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 1: love nothing better than at the end of this season

726
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: to be like, you know what Jerry told us. So

727
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,439
Speaker 1: they went out and got a Marie Cooper. They told

728
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: you your that's your quarterback, They told you that that's

729
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: their coach. They told you so. And we going to

730
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: run and we win two or three or four playoff

731
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 1: games and I don't get to go to Mexico. I

732
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: hope that happens. But start this week. You already started

733
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: last week. Keep it going. Let's go to Atlanta and

734
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 1: beat them dirty birds. Who you calling Nate's calling somebody, Derek,

735
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: you can you move me back on the show with

736
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 1: Mickey And that's fine, there's a call. That's fine. You'll

737
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: be on the show with Micky tonight and you tell

738
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 1: him telling you will put brought us over here. Man,

739
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: when y'all have a expert analogy, what how not to win?

740
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 1: How can you feel good about them going to Atlanta

741
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: where they haven't won back to back games yet and

742
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 1: they haven't been good on the road. Okay, let me

743
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: actually right here? Is Atlanta six? Has Atlanta won seven games?

744
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: They're four and five? Has Atlanta won six games? Has

745
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: Atlanta won four games? Yes? High Atlanta is four and five? Right?

746
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 1: And what is the Cowboys? So I think this game

747
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: is winnable? I think I didn't say it's not winnable.

748
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 1: I said, show me, let's go win it. Let's go

749
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:38,760
Speaker 1: win it. And I will come in here on Monday

00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: team unless it's ugly and we win it ten to six,

752
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: then I'll have a bust. I'll tell you win See

00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: dug cutting this cat off right now. No, I'm not

764
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: gonna let him talk. You gotta show. I'm not gonna

765
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: let him what you got to say. I was just

766
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: gonna say this. My thoughts on the game on Sunday

767
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: with this um one is I don't want to hear

768
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,879
Speaker 1: anybody poo pooing first round picks and saying, oh late

769
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: in the first round when you got a guy like

770
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: vanderst that guy is a monster. To me, that's the

771
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: next great player we have my team. And then I

772
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: was really super impressed by that guy, you know, I mean,

773
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 1: we finally got a guy that can you know, replace

774
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 1: Shawan Lee because we didn't have him on this team.

775
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what that would have looked like,

776
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: probably would have lost a bunch of these games already.

777
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: As far as their game plan, you know, you guys

778
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: are talking a little bit about before it was obvious

779
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: if you guys follow the game, they back through the

780
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: ball thirty five times, okay, so take out a few

781
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: sacks about thirty two passes around there, fifteen to them

782
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: or play action. That's why they win. Okay, when they

783
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: play action. Past in seven of them either went for

784
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: first downs or touchdowns. Okay. That's how this team has

785
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: got a play offense, okay, because they will play action

786
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: on first down and we're getting chunks, okay. And it

787
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: set them up even if they weren't chunk plays like

788
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: second in three, second and two, you know those kind

789
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: of third and three. That's all bread and butter, you know,

790
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 1: And that to me was one of the biggest takes

791
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: that took on the said. I thought the coaching said

792
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: did a really good job of prepping, you know, for

793
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: this game, and really played an aggressive game plan. You know,

794
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: I felt like going forward, even though there was a

795
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 1: penalty on the plant, I like that. You know, they played,

796
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: they played desperate, and that's the way they had to

797
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: play in Atlanta if they want to win this game

798
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: coming up. I agree with everything you said. It's a

799
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 1: desperate desperate ain't gonna desperate only works one or two

800
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:07,879
Speaker 1: times a year. Desperate one or two times. You gotta

801
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: be See this is this is what you gotta make

802
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: a decision on. Either you think the Cowboys are good

803
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: enough because they have a team that is good enough,

804
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,919
Speaker 1: or they don't. It ain't gonna cut desperate. You can't

805
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 1: you get desperate one or two times a year, and

806
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: and and then it becomes what are you good enough

807
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: physically and mentally to win games? Well? Man, can I

808
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 1: answer a question? Huh? Two the two games back of

809
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: the Redskins right now? Yes? Okay, if if let's if

810
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: they beat Atlanta, even if even if even if the

811
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: Redskins win, okay, we'll on be one back with a

812
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: win on Thanksgiving they lose, Okay, even if they don't

813
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: lose this, even if the Redskins lose against the Texas,

814
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 1: there's still two games back, and then you've got the

815
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: teams coming up. It has to be desperate in that

816
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: game because you've got to rather. I understand, I understand

817
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: the word. I understand the word sound good. But if

818
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: you ain't good enough physically and mentally, desperate won't get you.

819
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: That all desperately get you is traffic running out of

820
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: a house burning on fire. That's all we get you.

821
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: How can you trust this team? I mean, I'm replied, no, no, no,

822
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: you you you trusted emotions? Do you think they're good

823
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: enough physically and mentally to win? And if you do

824
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 1: it there physically, go ahead on. I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

825
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I want to, but I'm saying, yes, they

826
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: are physical because Atlanta upfront can't handle us if we're

827
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: on our game. Okay, they're have a ton of injuries, right, Okay,

828
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: And I think defensively, you know, listen, who is gonna

829
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: make some plays? You know, Calval really is probably gonna

830
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: make some plays. But I think our defense can make

831
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 1: enough place where we can keep them within twenty four

832
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: or less. Okay, but we have to run the ball

833
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: and do our things and continue to do the things

834
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: that are successful. But my thing, though, the coaching staff

835
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: has to go win there saying we cannot lose this

836
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 1: game in Atlantic if they yeah, yeah, okay, well, okay,

837
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 1: I unders understand that. I understand that I understand that,

838
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 1: you know, thank you for calling. Thank you. But see

839
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: one thing that you know, when I dealt with coach

840
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: Landry and I dealt with Coach Johnson, and you know

841
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: when you say desperate, this is what I look at. Okay,

842
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: I look at Kansas City and I may look at

843
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: um see uh stellers now stillers don't maybe lost too,

844
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 1: and they desperate. I can't. Well, when you look at

845
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: the stealers, do you question them offensively? You know they

846
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 1: have the skill set and the ability, so they they

847
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 1: they they desperation is different than our desperation because if

848
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: we got Kansas City and we've done lost too, and

849
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: we're looking at Kansas City, you be as desperate as

850
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: you want to be. All can't send you that has

851
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:09,720
Speaker 1: come out of play, play a non penalized game. We whooped.

852
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,760
Speaker 1: So when you when you go to Holling, its desperate.

853
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 1: That that all that sounds good because it's it's nothing

854
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: but words. But can you physically knock me down and

855
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 1: repeatedly knock me down? And can I repeatedly get up?

856
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: And and that that is what I'm talking about. That

857
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,720
Speaker 1: that you know, you know, brought us to him. Desperate

858
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: brought us. Come when you know better, you can be

859
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: as desperate. You can't be desperate fifteen times a year.

860
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 1: Yeah right, Let me go through the Redskins schedule with

861
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: you guys. Tell me, tell me who he thinks winning

862
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: this game. Houston at Washington. H Come on, Kurt, you're

863
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: the best at this. I'm taking Houston. Not he getting scared.

864
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 1: Now he gets scared. We're putting pressure on Kurtie. He

865
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:59,240
Speaker 1: gets he ain't desperate, think harder. Redskins at the Cowboys

866
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 1: lost them. That's what I'm taking, all right, Redskins at

867
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: the Eagles loss. So you got Philly, Okay, you got

868
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 1: the Giants at the Redskins, Redskins, Okay, you got the

869
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: Redskins at the Jags at the Jags, I guess, Redskins,

870
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 1: I guess. Okay, I learned that already. Redskins at the Titans,

871
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 1: and then Eagles at the Redskins Eagles. So you got

872
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: Philly beating them twice. So you got Washington beat winning

873
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 1: two two of their next seven. Yeah, So that they're

874
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 1: banged up, I don't I think a little bit of

875
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,760
Speaker 1: they're they're doing something right. Obviously they've won six games.

876
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 1: But I just I think it's gonna catch up with them.

877
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 1: So the Cowboys just need to win three of their

878
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 1: next seven to be you know what you're saying. Truly

879
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: believe that nine to seven is gonna win this division? Yeah,

880
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 1: I think it could. I mean way it's going right now.

881
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 1: But I think the Cowboys have to win these next

882
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 1: two games. I think they if they don't beat Atlanta,

883
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 1: and they don't be obviously Washington not according to what

884
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: you just said, because you said Washington's only gonna win

885
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: two two of their next seven. Yeah, but so the

886
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys just gotta win three. For the Cowboys to get

887
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: on a roll and to gain confidence going into back

888
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 1: to back Saints and Eagles, they have to win these

889
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: next two. So you think they gotta win the next two. Yes,

890
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: if they have any hopes of the playoffs, they have

891
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: to win the next two. I think you gotta win

892
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 1: one of the next two. No, you don't think they

893
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 1: gotta win them both. You gotta win them both, Yep,

894
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: you gotta wind. They gotta win. See, they have to

895
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: beat the Red you gotta be the rest games, I

896
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: think you could lose to Atlanta still, Okay, I mean,

897
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:47,280
Speaker 1: see I understand this, right, here, take Amari Cooper away.

898
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 1: Do you think the cowboysn't good enough to win? Well?

899
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 1: What we had before and the as to me was no. Right,

900
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,760
Speaker 1: you go out and you get a player that changes

901
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 1: the whole dynamic of your team. Now you you go

902
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 1: from being good or now you go from being desperate

903
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: because you are not good enough to being we can

904
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: play with these guys. And when you think you can

905
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 1: play with these guys, now we can beat these guys.

906
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 1: And it's a different it's a difference if you'd have

907
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: told me going into what we had before Amari got

908
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 1: here two weeks ago. We're going into Atlanta and we're

909
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,879
Speaker 1: gonna have to score twenty seven or more points. Did

910
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 1: you see it? Did you believe it? Now you got

911
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper. Now Dak is throwing the ball better for

912
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: two weeks, he's been throwing the ball just a little

913
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 1: bit better. Now he's starting to believe in trust. Now

914
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: you can go in the Atlanta and have a chance

915
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 1: to win the game. Whether we win it or not,

916
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, but you know what, it's a it's

917
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: a game worth watching. Yeah, I think you can play, Kurt.

918
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 1: I think you gotta play good. If you lose. I

919
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: think you gotta score. You gotta put twenty seven or

920
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 1: more points up. I think you can still lose as

921
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: long as you get this offense on track and keep

922
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: it going and the play calling feeds off what it

923
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: did last weekend. I think you can and then you

924
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: can be I'd rather win, but I'm telling you, I

925
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 1: think they can lose that game if they If they

926
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:18,760
Speaker 1: if they keep the offensive momentum going, well you gotta figure.

927
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, we're kind of counting out the Redskins.

928
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 1: We gotta do a Philly now still too. I mean,

929
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 1: I just think if they don't win these two, we

930
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: got Philly at home. I'm okay with that, but we

931
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 1: have to play them again. We have to play the Saints.

932
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 1: The Saints. I think everybody's kind of like, well, we

933
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 1: just mark that as a loss. Of what I'm saying. No,

934
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 1: I wouldn't if you don't have the Saints coming us, right,

935
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 1: yeah they're here. No, I wouldn't. Let's see how they

936
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 1: play against Atlanta, And to me, no, sound like Shannon,

937
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 1: Let's see how the No. No, what I'm saying is

938
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 1: we're talking about New Orleans, right, I say, before we

939
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 1: even worry about New Orleans. Let's see what Let's see

940
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: what happened against Atlanta. And what I mean by that

941
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 1: is if they win, but if they win twenty four,

942
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 1: twenty one, if they win twenty one to seventeen, as

943
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 1: long as they win, this team will have another week

944
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: with the Marii Cooper, with Cole Beasley, with the officive line,

945
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 1: and we'll have a we'll have a known backup now,

946
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 1: whether it's whether it's the draft pick or whether it's

947
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 1: the new kids, Lufa whatever his name. So we we

948
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 1: all of these things are building up now to be

949
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: to make us a better team. I'm not I'm talking

950
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: about us being a better team, not us saying oh man, wow,

951
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: you know it's not it's not that anymore. It's you.

952
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 1: When you can see tangible evidence that you that you

953
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 1: are a better team, does that not equate to uh

954
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 1: uh confidence? You don't see us that Quit looking at

955
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 1: us as the team four weeks ago. I know it

956
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 1: was an ugly loss against Tennessee, but don't look at

957
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: us as that team four weeks ago. Look at us

958
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 1: as of what we did. It's a new dynamic, Yeah,

959
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 1: it's a totally new dynamic special offense all this confidence,

960
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: all this building a new team, all of this I

961
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 1: agree totally, but it all goes to waste if we

962
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 1: don't we need the next two games as far as

963
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 1: making the play and I disagree. I think as long

964
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: as you as far as making the playoffs, yes, they'll

965
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 1: become a better team. Right, I think I think you

966
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 1: can still make it. I think you still make it.

967
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a break. We got somebody on

968
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: the phones. When we come back, we'll get to the

969
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 1: phones and we'll talk about I don't think we have

970
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 1: enough sign for a break. We didn't start till one.

971
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 1: One thing. We have a show coming on after us,

972
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 1: so let's oh, yeah the call, let's just we'll have

973
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: to wrap it. Let's just leave. They go on one thirty. Well,

974
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 1: if these guys, if the next if the caller come

975
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 1: on with your attitude, you're right, let's just leave you.

976
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 1: I ain't right up on them. But if they come

977
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:57,760
Speaker 1: on with my attitude, and let's let's see what person

978
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 1: who we got? Ye in Kansas City? Who are you with?

979
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 1: Jay's Jay and West Virginia? Oh my god, So it

980
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 1: don't matter. Now we have to honor the call because

981
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: of because you messed up dub anyway. Anyway, Kurt, glad

982
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 1: to see you back, buddy. Thanks if my mom watching

Speaker 1: prayer chain, so you should be finding good buddy. Anyway.

985
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 1: What do you think about seal feel of that? I'll

986
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 1: tell you what I think. A little extra girth on

987
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 1: that side made a big difference in a run game,

988
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 1: which made everybody else confident. That's one thing. Shannon picked

989
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 1: your chin up. We're gonna go in there and whip

990
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: some butt when we go to Atlanta. Let's go chin

991
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 1: ups and you look good. If you look good, you

992
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 1: feel good. You look good. And Nate said this, and

993
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 1: it's true. Just you might be a little overmatched here

994
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 1: and there in some games, but if you're willing to

995
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:58,280
Speaker 1: go in there and punch that guy in the mouth

996
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,880
Speaker 1: every time you're on the line, you got a fighting

997
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 1: chance no matter where we're going. And we're going to

998
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: Atlanta and we're gonna whip their butt and we're gonna

999
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 1: move on down the road. Let's do it. What do

1000
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 1: you think about that? Now? What do you think about

1001
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:17,399
Speaker 1: traveling Jones on? Jones as a king? Who's that saying? Yeahs? Again,

1002
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 1: Sir Julio Jones, Oh ain't it ain't not traveling dog,

1003
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 1: just double t him. It's called double T pack axtra bags.

1004
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, Jay, appreciate it. Man. I'll tell

1005
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: you what I think. If you still had the rookie

1006
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 1: and he was healthy, I think you still should play

1007
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 1: him at guard. But I think this may be a

1008
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:46,319
Speaker 1: blessing in disguise to help this offensive line get back

1009
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 1: on track. Like that's kind of a contradiction, but I

1010
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,719
Speaker 1: think this big did not make it did not make

1011
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:55,320
Speaker 1: no sense. If if this kid that they got it

1012
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 1: in there now, I can't pronounce his name if he

1013
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:03,399
Speaker 1: is the better guard right now playing him because it ain't. See,

1014
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: but you're always the one when the young guys play,

1015
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 1: I do if they're better, If they are better, they

1016
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 1: just far away and play the young guy. But see,

1017
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:14,840
Speaker 1: what you're trying to do is set it up so

1018
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:17,360
Speaker 1: they they didn't won't win against New Orleans, so you

1019
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:22,799
Speaker 1: can still have that No, no, no, that's blasphemy. Yeah yeah, okay,

1020
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: stop thinking that way. Blast. I'm reading you, shann I'm

1021
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: beginning to know what do you think? Do you think?

1022
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: Do you think they're do you like, how do you

1023
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:32,799
Speaker 1: feel about steel Feeler? Oh, I'm liking what he does,

1024
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 1: but I want to see it another game. I want

1025
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:36,880
Speaker 1: to see it another game, and we're gonna get to

1026
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 1: see it another game. How long is Williams out? If

1027
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,719
Speaker 1: we heard it, don't matter long as that kid playing good.

1028
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 1: He could be out the rest of the year if

1029
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: that kid is fair, and he probably would be. Yeah, yeah, okay, gentlemen,

1030
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:53,800
Speaker 1: and our boys back at tight endway. Yes, saw him today.

1031
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,880

00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,839
Speaker 1: the game. Yes, sir, so he'll be back in act.
