That wait till half. 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:19.800 It doesn't look too good for that. Hey, hey, I 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:24.799 know some people that would to disagree with you. Oh that. Hey, 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:28.160 we can go forward. We can go forward to Cleveland. 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:29.560 We got going on here. 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:34.240 We got going Cowboys are two point underdogs in this 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:35.799 game against these Cleveland. 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:37.920 A lot of work to a lot of work to 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:38.200 get to. 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:40.280 So we as the week goes on, we got a 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:41.919 lot of things we got to dive into. We'll make 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:46.360 our predictions for the record for the division winners for 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.399 a touchdown, pa, I can't wait to hear it. Got 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.079 a whole lot we'll get fits the player of the year. 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:52.840 How many yards was the cab? We go a whole 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:56.920 lot to get to this week, But first let us 0:02:56.960 --> 0:03:01.280 start with the quarterback Number four, four Rain Dakota Prescott. 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:05.280 Jerry said when he spoke to the media last week, 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.919 right after he showed us the Texas Lotto scratch off game, 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:11.160 the Cowboy fans can win, got a free one. They 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:12.560 still need to go scratch it off. I hadn't done 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:16.320 it yet. Don't look for a deal for dak Prescott 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:20.160 before the season started, so we basically said so we 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.359 would not, And then Clarence Clarence Ill tweeted it out, 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:25.680 wrote a story about on his new website, don't look 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:28.600 for a dak deal. So I'm not looking for number 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:33.400 four contract because the owner basically said it. Clarence wrote it, 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:38.080 I've seen no indication that number four is walking through 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:41.120 with anything else other than what he's got right here. 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:45.200 You good with that if I'm the organization, No, you know, 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:46.720 I'm not good with that because I feel like, you know, 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:48.920 the longer you wait and if you get these first 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.760 couple of games under your belt without a deal done, 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:53.640 you know, the price is just gonna go higher. But 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:56.119 if I'm Dak Prescott, I'm looking at it like, hey man, 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:59.080 you know, why would I go go ahead and sign now? 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:00.600 If I'm looking for him. I mean, of course you 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.720 get the securities and all that guarantee. But in my opinion, 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:07.280 I believe, no matter what happens this season, you know, injury, 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.480 God forbid it doesn't happen, but injuried all that good stuff, 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:12.160 he's still gonna be the top, you know, paid player 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.920 in the National Football League come this offseason, regardless of 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.200 what happens. I mean, we just saw Kirk Cousins go 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.680 down and still get the major bag. So to me, 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:21.640 if I'm Dak Prescott, you know I feel like if 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.120 you signed earlier, you're gonna leave some ducats on the table. 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:24.440 Now. 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:26.480 Like I said, I understand, he's, you know, team guy. 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:28.080 He wants to get it done. I understand all that. 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:32.039 But for me, I believe if he wants to wait 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:34.679 it out, he has a chance to be a record 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:36.320 breaking number wise when you talk about deal. 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.360 So if I'm Dak Prescott, you know I'm not in 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:39.360 the arrest to sign it either. 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.800 All right, Cowboy safety Barry Church is spoken. Heck ma 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:43.320 Harrison bring it to his baby, not. 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.520 Just well, I just feel like leverage plays into and 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:47.160 I think that's what you're talking about, you know, the 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:49.479 levers that he has, and whether it plays out in 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:51.400 his favor if he waits, so he signs it now. 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:53.800 It doesn't make any sense for the Dallas Cowboys to 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.120 have their wide receiver locked up and not have their 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:57.080 quarterback locked up. 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:58.760 That's just two things that don't go together. 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.679 Maybe I'm talking common sense, but I'm just basically saying 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:05.680 most teams operate the other way around unless you have 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:07.720 a rookie quarterback. 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.080 But look, here's the deal. I would expect. 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:11.599 My thing is I would expect for them to be 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.640 working their butts off to get this done this week 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:15.440 so they can put that to bed and go forward 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:18.359 with this season, because otherwise you're gonna have that looming 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:21.720 for the entire season. And we know how that go. 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:25.600 The narrative will start to rewrite itself each and every game. 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.440 And look at the beginning of this season, you got 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:32.120 some tough games and for Dak this could be his 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:35.040 opportunity because it could go either way, all right, because 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:37.560 as you say, that, gonna get his money no matter what. 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:42.000 All right, But what if he is abysmal in this 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.800 first five six weeks of the season, what if his 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:46.960 offensive line gets him destroyed? 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:48.640 And you know, I. 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:50.680 Think, I think all of those things are gonna start 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.080 to play a part into the psychy of this team. 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.520 And so that's gonna be to me the one thing 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:57.640 that I'm gonna be looking to. If you get him signed, 0:05:57.680 --> 0:05:59.760 you get him done. You already know he's your quarterback 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.160 for the future. So any way that those narratives go, 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:04.919 it's not going to change, especially in the media on 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:05.800 how you perceive that. 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:07.880 But if you're the player, what would you do with this? 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:10.520 That's you know, I understand what you're saying organizational wise, 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:13.160 but if you're Dak and your Dak shoes, would you say, 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.279 all right, man, let's get this thing done. Or I 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.839 think Dak is In has been in a great position 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.000 since he's been drafted here in the fourth round. 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.760 I think they broke him off. You know, he's made 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:23.600 a ton of money. 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:27.040 The expectations have always been high, and he's flown somewhere 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.919 under that with only two playoff wins. But he's in 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.560 a good predicament here in Dallas, and that's that's just 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:33.200 how I feel. 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:33.440 Now. 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:35.520 If he feels like he can get sixty five million 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.039 dollars and he's just gonna chill this whole season. 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:38.279 That's fine. 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:42.080 I completely understand that. Also, but I think the Cowboys 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:45.040 are going to be in the running then. Also now, 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:46.960 I don't think anything changes as far as that, but 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:50.080 I think getting it getting it done now, to at 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.880 least not have that be over your head the entire 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.920 season should work best for him, because that's one less 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:56.920 thing he has to worry about. 0:06:57.520 --> 0:06:59.359 What do players say in the locker room when they 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:00.800 see something like it's going down there? 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:04.080 Well, when you're in the guy like Dak's position, you know, 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:05.760 everybody in that locker room respects him. 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:06.600 He's one of the captains. 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:07.960 So when you look at a guy like that, you 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.360 want him or that deal to work out as best 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.040 as it can for Dak. You're not really looking at, 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:13.880 you know, organizational wise, if we get him done, we 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.080 can sign this guy, we can sign that guy. You know, 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:17.960 as a leader in that of that football room and 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.000 in that locker room, guys are just saying, hey, we 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:22.560 want this to work out for Dak, whatever way that happens. 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:24.760 If it's you know, three years at this amount, four 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:26.720 years at that amount, you know, the highest paying in 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.000 the NFL, top three, whatever the case may be. You 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:30.480 just want that thing to work out for Dak. For 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:31.320 those guys in the. 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:33.600 Locker room, he basically came out, he said, it speaks 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:34.800 volumes that it's not done. 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:36.000 So what's that done for? 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:36.960 It speaks volumes. 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:43.120 Look this argument. What I've discovered about this argument with Dak, 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:46.160 it's twofold. Like you hear people in the media saying, 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:49.520 you know, Dak is not an elite quarterback, but he 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:51.320 deserves sixty five million dollars. 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:53.480 You look at per year, all right. 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:55.440 You look at the guys that have signed those the 0:07:55.680 --> 0:08:00.200 highest paid quarterback deals. The top five are those elite guys. No, 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:03.600 And so the argument with Dak always goes back and forth. 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.920 And like you talked about from from a locker room perspective, 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.560 there's nobody that those fifty three fifty two guys respect 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:12.920 more than number four because they've seen him put it 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.280 on the line. You played with him. I mean, so 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:17.400 you can speak to the character of the man more 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:20.720 than anything else. And so that's why it's so confusing 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:22.720 to me. You know, so you start asking people like, 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:26.760 what's your deal with Dak, what's your deal with that? 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:29.120 And it is just that you're a cowboy hater or 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.080 whatever it is. But you can't take away from the 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:34.160 numbers that say he has been amongst the elite and 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:36.280 deserve to be paid according to that, and. 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.199 He's the next guy up. I mean, look, I mean 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:40.199 it worked out that way. You know, Trevor was a 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:44.960 Trevor Lawrence guy fifty five, one playoff game, one playoff game, 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:47.160 and nobody really Oh yeah, he has a talent. 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.800 He has man thatk has done more in this league 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:51.880 for a longer period of time. He's the next man up. 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:53.920 He's it's time to get broken off. That's just how 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:54.080 to go. 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:57.840 Kyler Murray got forty six million. That got forty and 0:08:57.880 --> 0:08:59.920 then they put the man clause in the contract. 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:05.199 Got the sticks, his Xbox on lock, give me the 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:06.040 code to the box. 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:07.400 We need you to. 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:14.760 Actually take that iPad and open it. I mean, but 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.199 that says something you're not asking. You're not hearing that 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.760 about Dax. So, but when when people talk about elite, 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:25.640 so what what I've always found amazing amongst fans is 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.080 they want guys to quote unquote prove it. 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.040 Okay, that's just good. 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:36.000 That's not how this business works because if people had 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.840 to prove and win super Bowls and get the Super Bowls, 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:41.160 then people would not be paid. Justin Herbert would not 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:43.360 have got his money from the Chargers, Trevor Lawrence would 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:45.640 not have got his money from Jacksonville, Kyler Murray would 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:49.960 not have his money. Guys, guys, sap. That's not how 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:53.520 this This is not how this thing works. Okay, there's 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.720 this is a marketplace, and the marketplace is what you 0:09:56.800 --> 0:10:00.040 and your agent can negotiate. Oh, by the way, what 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:04.320 leverage do you have versus the team? A team like 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:07.560 Jacksonville has no answer if they don't have Trevor Lawrence, 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:10.280 so they're writing the check and go on down the line. 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:15.679 Arizona had no let well, we're gonna pay him. Cincinnati Baltimore, 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:17.160 who acted like they didn't want to. 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:21.160 Pay We know what happened with who won an MVP 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:22.640 even they came. 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:31.120 Okay, right, you know how I feel last the last 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:34.280 time I do they did it? They did Jalen hurts 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:36.559 me the same thing man, same thing. This is what 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:40.440 it is. So Jerry had the rambling press conference and 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.480 played this play coin on that you're writing a check 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.040 because if you don't write to check, somebody else is 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:47.280 gonna write to check it. Then you know what kind 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.199 of check you out to write? Now you gonna have 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.160 to write a check to somebody you really don't know 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:54.680 a whole heck of a lot about, because what's behind 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:58.199 that door number two? You don't know what's coming through here? 0:10:58.200 --> 0:10:58.400 Man? 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:01.679 Well, I mean that's I think when you look at 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:04.000 a team like San Francisco, right, you look at a 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.000 team like San Francisco who has been built up in 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.880 some kind of way, have found a way quarterback after 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:11.320 quarterback to put a guy at the helm, to win 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:14.319 double digits and go to a super Bowl, at least 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:16.600 in NFC Championship because they believe. 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:17.640 And this is. 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.240 Obviously speaking to Mike McCarthy who's on one year. This 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:22.280 doesn't kind of go together, but I'm just saying that 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.439 teams believe that they can win with damn near anybody, 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:29.320 you know, and maybe maybe playing the devil's advocate here. 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:30.440 That's the thought process. 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.400 We got the weapons, all right, we got the defense, 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.000 and hey, we can find anybody to do. 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:38.560 What you do in the thought process is definitely you 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:40.960 know what's you know what's the alternative? Okay, we do 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:43.040 pay him, and let's just say there's another string of 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.560 four years where you're out in the first or second round. 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.559 Oh my god, and you're that's your ceiling right there 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:49.160 here you are. 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:51.679 And then you see other teams like just go Houston 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:53.960 for a random and they restart and they get it, 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.400 you know, first round guy number one overall, pick number two, 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.200 whatever he was, and he's able to you know, turn 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:00.400 that whole franchise around. 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:03.080 There's a formula. 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:06.280 It's it's but you always have a chance before and 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:08.480 and that's the thing you gotta kind of Leanya hat 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:09.920 On if I was gonna have a chance if we 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.880 go back, hekma and break down the forty nine ers 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:16.559 in terms of the screw ups, but the cover up 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:17.360 made it good. 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:20.800 The first screw up is in the draft. 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:25.960 They ended up trading with Chicago and letting them go 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:29.480 get Mitchell Trubisky. They trade down and their first round 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:33.280 picked is Solomon Thomas, who John Lynch said, well, you 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:37.080 stand for God knowing, so while you took that dude, 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:41.800 you allowed Mahomes and Watson to be drafted ten and twelve. 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.400 They were hoping. Kyle was hoping that he could get 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:49.400 Kirk Cousins when he got to San Francisco, but Cousins 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:52.760 got that crazy money from Minnesota, so they ended up 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:57.560 getting lucky and getting Jimmy Garoppolo. They got lucky, so 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:00.280 you got lucky with Jimmy, ended up going into a 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:00.760 Super Bowl. 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:03.000 So then they're tired of Jimmy. 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.240 They decided to go give up three first round picks 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:10.800 for Trey Lance doesn't work out, ends up the seventh 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.640 round pick they got with brock Purty ended up working out, 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.000 so he goes to another Super Bowl. 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:17.920 Lost it like he lost with Garoppolo. 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.920 But along the way, just the decision making here, the 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:22.319 first thoughts aren't good. 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:25.280 The cover up is good. I like that, they're getting lucky. No, 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:27.120 I like that, and it's the cover up is mean. 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:32.280 But at some point time you go get got, you 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:35.480 go get got. Granted, they're living good, they're living good, 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.640 they've got no championships. But the thought process. But baby, 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.840 they've been wrong. Oh yeah, they've been wrong. And so 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.760 except sometimes it works out for you. Hey, Dallas ended 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.920 up with Tony Romo, no undrafted dude out Eastern Illinois. 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:49.960 Worked out well for them because remember they had balletso 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:53.600 Parcels that had ran on Quincy and had Testaverdy. Then 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:55.880 they go get Drew and then Romo steps in and 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.199 then Dak Prescott not even the first first round pick 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:02.840 they had. You know, he was the second fourth round 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:04.800 pick they had, I should say, the second fourth round pick. 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:07.400 Remember remember who they went took number four? 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:07.800 First? 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:09.240 Uh in the fourth round? 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:12.440 First Charles Tapper. There's a there's a trivia question. 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:16.040 Okay. Then they went and got Dak Prescott. 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:18.360 So sometimes you got to just get a little bit 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.840 of lucky and things can fall in place for you. 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:24.360 But you know, this ain't Bill Wall saying, hey we 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:27.120 want Joe Montana. Hey I'm trading to receive young The 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.640 Niners ain't living like that. But it works out, and 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:31.440 that's all you gotta do sometimes is have it. Have 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:35.680 it work out. But most of Dak Prescott not gonna 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:37.000 sign the deal before the Browns game. 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:40.880 I wouldn't if I'm in it either. But he's getting paid. Oh, 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.560 he's getting paid. He's getting Yeah, he's getting paid. 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:45.680 Jerry Jones will have to decide does he want to 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:47.040 be the highest bid or does he want to lose 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:50.080 that because I think as long as Jerry comes, Jerry's 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:50.960 just gonna have to meet the number. 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:51.400 I don't think. 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:53.680 I think Dak Prescott is a quarter the quarterback of 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:54.520 the Das Cowboys. 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:56.760 In so with his thought precess is you know, if 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:58.760 you're that put your shoes in, you know, Dak shoes, 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:01.600 you're thinking, if don't come to X number, let's just 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.200 say that number is sixty three. I'm gonna just wait 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:06.200 this thing out until the highest better because you know 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.280 you're gonna get the highs better, you know, once free 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:09.160 agency hits. 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:13.160 So unless they hit that number, I mean, it goes back. 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.960 It goes back to the leverage that we already talked about. 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:19.160 You know, you and especially if you use Kirk Cousins 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:22.600 as the example, but you know, basically looking at it 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:24.920 the way that you are new out and I've said 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:27.640 this to you that like I feel like nothing short 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:33.240 of an NFC Championship for appearance right now for Dak. 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:35.680 I mean this is he gonna get paid, all right, 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:39.320 that that part is gonna happen. But legacy and here 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:42.800 you have an owner that's kind of echoing what the 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:45.680 fan base is saying, Yeah, prove it, we want to 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:47.520 see it. And that may not and they may not 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:51.000 job well with people that's in the locker room, that's 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:53.200 in the know. But at the same time, you have 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:56.480 this bar that you've set for him and you continue 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:58.920 to say he's not reaching it, And whether you believe 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:01.480 in the regular season or or not in the playoffs, 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:04.360 people look directly at that and say he can't live 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:07.040 up to that moment. And that's the difference between the 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:08.680 rest of those guys that we're talking about. 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:12.720 But we say that, but that should have no ability 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:17.560 in you signing the man to a check because some 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:20.760 of this stuff. Now, granted Packer game he didn't play well, 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:24.360 but that first Packer game in his first playoff run 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:27.880 against Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy, dude balled out when 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:37.720 his fault they couldn't defense, couldn't stop for the third twenty. 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:34.920 I was on. 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:37.520 It. 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:45.280 Who wasn't. 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:57.240 I don't know it was Jeff. 0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:01.120 Jeff? Who was it? That me Ill? 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:03.880 Okay, we're gonna take a break upon that right now. 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:05.399 Who did it? 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:08.600 Barry Churchech Marisonwi scrougs players.

So with the Jets, that's 0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:27.560 so much. But we'll see exactly what he does this year. 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:30.240 Hopefully lasts longer than the series because last year like that, 0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:32.080 all that build up had a series got hurt and 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:34.880 it was like Bam season w then Game two Cowboys 0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:43.520 to it. So this run game, man, it was a 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:45.600 great piece by Rick Gods on the Hall of Fame 0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:48.320 Rider about running backs after age twenty eight. 0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:50.360 It was bad, ain't very good. 0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:54.919 Yeah, he got some factual, some factual knowledge and statistics 0:20:54.960 --> 0:20:57.840 document about twenty eight year old running backs in the NFL. 0:20:57.880 --> 0:21:01.679 Another way to downgrade the position. The picture of Elliott 0:21:01.760 --> 0:21:02.240 was right there. 0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:05.440 I the poster child for so he's just basically going 0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:07.679 down to twenty eight. He just basically said, you know, 0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:10.520 don't expect anythings like it's not gonna happen. The names 0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:12.760 and everything else he listed with about the Jim Browns 0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:14.639 of the world. Jim left and ended up leaving the 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:18.800 game with EMMITTT. Smith, you know outside of an Adrian Peterson. 0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:22.960 Which is a one way Yeah, you know it is sure. 0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:27.640 Yeah, So, I mean Emmitt had eleven thousand yards seasons. 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:31.600 Am I mistaken and he included Emmitt in and House 0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:32.359 so saying that. 0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:35.800 Looking at the numbers after twenty eight trying to see 0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:38.840 where where you were going to and so, and one 0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:41.760 of the premises looking at Ezekiel Ell it is to 0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:45.800 say twenty sixteen z can't coming through that door. You don't. 0:21:45.800 --> 0:21:48.800 Don't look for that player and any running back and 0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:51.920 so Dalvin Cooked the same thing. Just don't look for 0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:55.159 these guys that were the Pro Bowl players that you know, 0:21:55.200 --> 0:21:57.879 became household names at the position. Not going to happen. 0:21:58.320 --> 0:22:00.560 Yeah, And to me it's a little concerning when you 0:22:00.560 --> 0:22:01.760 look at this running back room. 0:22:01.840 --> 0:22:02.080 Now. 0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:05.000 You know, I'm not expecting, like you said, twenty sixteen 0:22:05.160 --> 0:22:07.639 Zeke or you know, twenty eighteen Cook or whenever he 0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:10.199 was with the Vikings. I'm not expecting those guys to 0:22:10.280 --> 0:22:12.359 do much. But to me, what makes it concerning is 0:22:12.359 --> 0:22:14.439 if we look at it, if you don't have a 0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:17.480 balance attack offensively, and you're the Cowboys, I mean, we've 0:22:17.480 --> 0:22:19.640 seen what happens when you know, Prescott got to throw 0:22:19.640 --> 0:22:22.439 the ball forty thirty five forty plus times. You know, 0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:24.879 the record is just not you know, as good as 0:22:24.880 --> 0:22:26.920 it is when they have that balance attack and when 0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:29.160 I look at the backfield, Yes, you got some guys 0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:31.440 that can protect the quarterback, that can pick up some glizzes. 0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:33.920 But you know, do you have a guy that's dynamic 0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:35.680 out of the backfield. You got a guy that you 0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:37.639 can throw a screen too, and maybe he can take it, 0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:39.720 you know, fifty forty yards, whatever the case may be. 0:22:40.240 --> 0:22:41.800 To me, when I look back there, I mean, you 0:22:41.920 --> 0:22:44.800 got some guys that are great in short yarded situation, 0:22:45.040 --> 0:22:47.040 can punch the ball into the goal line, which they 0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:49.480 did struggle with last year. But they can punch the 0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:51.159 ball into the goal line or maybe pick you up 0:22:51.160 --> 0:22:53.520 a third and two, third and three, but more than 0:22:53.560 --> 0:22:54.679 likely it's gonna be three yards in. 0:22:54.680 --> 0:22:55.399 A cloud of dust. 0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:58.560 And if that keeps the defense honest and cool, I'm 0:22:58.600 --> 0:23:01.240 okay with it. But I just don't see teams after 0:23:01.280 --> 0:23:02.879 the first couple of weeks saying, man, we got to 0:23:02.920 --> 0:23:04.680 respect this run. We got to have an extra guy 0:23:04.680 --> 0:23:07.400 in the box to make sure that Zeke doesn't pop 0:23:07.440 --> 0:23:09.760 a big one or Cooker, you know, daw will pops 0:23:09.760 --> 0:23:11.960 a big one. I think a lot of defenses are 0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:14.159 going to play the Cowboys, you know, top to bottom, 0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:15.720 they're gonna have a lot of guys in the secondary 0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:17.680 fogging up those windows because they feel like they can 0:23:17.720 --> 0:23:20.720 stop the run with those light boxes. Now it's up 0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:22.800 to Zeke and those boys didn't prove prove the defense 0:23:22.880 --> 0:23:25.160 is wrong. But to me, it's slightly concerning because when 0:23:25.160 --> 0:23:27.240 you look at the numbers, I mean, thirty five plus 0:23:27.240 --> 0:23:28.920 passing attempts for Prescott. 0:23:28.440 --> 0:23:29.720 It's just it's not that good. 0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:33.119 And that's I think wise, yeah, record, that's what you 0:23:33.320 --> 0:23:35.040 what you just pointed out, I think is where my 0:23:35.160 --> 0:23:38.080 concern is is in the type of how do you 0:23:38.119 --> 0:23:39.639 scheme it up to stop the run and how do 0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:41.480 you scheme it up to stop the pass? You know 0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:43.200 what Ceedee Lamb is gonna do, and I guess we'll 0:23:43.200 --> 0:23:45.440 talk about it this week. You know what what can 0:23:45.480 --> 0:23:49.199 be his ceiling? Ceedee Lamb's ceiling this this year. And 0:23:49.240 --> 0:23:51.240 if you just go back to last year, the Dallas 0:23:51.240 --> 0:23:53.440 Cowboys did were not effective in their running game, but 0:23:53.520 --> 0:23:55.360 yet they led the league in points. 0:23:55.640 --> 0:23:56.600 And so it's conflict. 0:23:56.840 --> 0:23:59.439 Like the conflict in that argument is you've shown you 0:23:59.520 --> 0:24:02.080 have time, roof and consistency that look, we can still 0:24:02.080 --> 0:24:05.399 get it done offensively without this running game that you 0:24:05.480 --> 0:24:07.840 think will only consist in three years in cloud of dust, 0:24:07.880 --> 0:24:11.000 because that's what Tony Pollard averaged last season as a 0:24:11.080 --> 0:24:13.720 running back. So look, fifty nine yards a game will 0:24:13.760 --> 0:24:16.439 give you a thousand yards as a rusher, right, And 0:24:16.480 --> 0:24:19.040 so our expectation of this running back room is a 0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:21.600 running back pot committee. We're gonna get a different piece 0:24:21.600 --> 0:24:23.119 from each one of those dudes. And that's why we 0:24:23.160 --> 0:24:25.920 talked about Dalvin Cook at length when we signed him. 0:24:26.080 --> 0:24:29.479 What can he add to this that Rico Dado can't 0:24:29.480 --> 0:24:32.520 add to this and Ezekiel Elliott can add. I mean, 0:24:32.760 --> 0:24:35.639 you go red zone, you go protection, you go breaking 0:24:35.640 --> 0:24:38.439 off those zone runs, and the whole thing is about 0:24:38.800 --> 0:24:41.520 making those defenses sit at bay because, as you know, 0:24:41.600 --> 0:24:44.160 as a safety, if we can toy with you bring 0:24:44.200 --> 0:24:46.040 guys to the line of scrimmage and then bel out 0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:48.199 at the last minute trying to fog up those windows 0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:50.159 as you're talking about, I can make life difficult for 0:24:50.200 --> 0:24:52.440 you all day long. But that's what they did all year, 0:24:52.480 --> 0:24:55.439 all season last year, you know, And so Dak was 0:24:55.440 --> 0:24:58.280 still had that success. And I think that in Mike 0:24:58.400 --> 0:25:01.160 McCarthy's second season as an offen as a coordinator, calling 0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:03.880 as a play caller, you'll see a lot more of that, 0:25:03.960 --> 0:25:05.800 and then I still think you'll be able to mix 0:25:05.840 --> 0:25:07.879 it in even with some of those runs from your 0:25:07.880 --> 0:25:10.800 wide receiver also, So that's what I'm looking That's what 0:25:10.840 --> 0:25:12.360 I'm looking for. They're going to have to be very 0:25:12.400 --> 0:25:13.840 creative in the run this season. 0:25:14.119 --> 0:25:14.960 So when you talk. 0:25:14.840 --> 0:25:17.119 About the points and how many they scored a lot 0:25:17.119 --> 0:25:22.000 of points, but then we also know, yeah, you ran 0:25:22.080 --> 0:25:24.960 up on the Giants, but what do you do against 0:25:24.960 --> 0:25:27.120 the Bills and what kind of points were you putting 0:25:27.160 --> 0:25:28.280 up against the night That was kind of the thing 0:25:28.320 --> 0:25:30.320 las year when people talked about the Cowboys say, hey, look, 0:25:30.400 --> 0:25:32.679 you know they're getting fat against bad teams, run up 0:25:32.680 --> 0:25:34.159 on the Jets, but what are you doing against the 0:25:34.160 --> 0:25:36.159 good teams? That's kind of been that mo for the 0:25:36.160 --> 0:25:38.119 cow was really the last two years of just what 0:25:38.160 --> 0:25:39.800 they've been able to do. Here's a little bit for 0:25:40.000 --> 0:25:42.560 Rick goslin Broke. He says, there are talking about running 0:25:42.560 --> 0:25:44.240 backs at the age of twenty eight going downhill. He 0:25:44.240 --> 0:25:47.399 says there are exceptions, of course, Essentially the Hall of 0:25:47.400 --> 0:25:50.080 Fame quality runners like John Reagan's and John Henry Johnson 0:25:50.160 --> 0:25:52.600 managed one thousand yard rushing seasons at the age of 0:25:52.640 --> 0:25:56.800 thirty five, Franco Harrison Adrian Peterson rush for their final 0:25:56.880 --> 0:26:00.560 one thousand yard seasons at thirty three, Sam Smith and 0:26:00.600 --> 0:26:03.600 Walter Payton gained their final one thousand yards at thirty two. 0:26:04.080 --> 0:26:07.960 Tony dor Set Curtis Martin posted their final one thousand 0:26:08.040 --> 0:26:10.480 yard seasons at thirty one, and Barry Sanders and Thurman 0:26:10.560 --> 0:26:13.760 Thomas did it for the final time at thirty. Hall 0:26:13.800 --> 0:26:17.439 of famers Jim Brown, O. J. Simpson, Eric Dickerson, Jim Taylor, 0:26:17.640 --> 0:26:20.919 Ladanion Thomas and Egrin James, Floyd Little and Jerome Bettis 0:26:21.000 --> 0:26:23.119 all rushed for one thousand yards at the age of 0:26:23.119 --> 0:26:26.520 twenty nine and never again. And the same thing with 0:26:26.560 --> 0:26:29.919 pass rushing champions Jamal Lewis and Lashaw McCoy did it 0:26:29.920 --> 0:26:33.359 at twenty nine and never did it again. Hall of 0:26:33.400 --> 0:26:35.600 Famer Earl Campbell Marshall Fault rushed for one thousand yards 0:26:35.600 --> 0:26:37.280 at the age of twenty eight, as did their past 0:26:37.520 --> 0:26:41.600 NFL rushing champion George Rogers, Shawn Alexander, Chris Johnson, DeMarco 0:26:41.680 --> 0:26:45.040 Murray none ever hit one thousand yards again. The same 0:26:45.080 --> 0:26:47.879 with Marshawn Lynch twenty eight and never again. 0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:55.520 Never say nothing, No, I got you. Yeah, those are 0:26:55.520 --> 0:26:57.720 a bunch of great names. First of all, I mean, 0:26:57.760 --> 0:26:59.359 look at who you're talking about. You're not talking about 0:26:59.359 --> 0:27:01.240 just running the mill running backs. You're talking about guys 0:27:01.280 --> 0:27:02.880 who did it at a high level in this game, 0:27:02.920 --> 0:27:05.320 and everybody respect when you bring up their name, and 0:27:05.359 --> 0:27:09.080 so look it's I don't, I don't. My expectation for 0:27:09.160 --> 0:27:12.159 Ezekiel Elliott is not a thousand yards this season. I 0:27:12.160 --> 0:27:15.600 think my expectation comes down to three guys being able 0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:18.200 to pull all the way. And then there may be 0:27:18.280 --> 0:27:21.200 matchups where you say, I can exploit this matchup with 0:27:21.280 --> 0:27:23.960 this running back because of this running style, and that's 0:27:24.000 --> 0:27:25.440 because you have three of them. 0:27:25.480 --> 0:27:28.200 Now, is that gonna be advantageous in the future, I 0:27:28.280 --> 0:27:28.840 don't think. 0:27:28.880 --> 0:27:28.960 So. 0:27:29.080 --> 0:27:31.160 You're gonna have to finally find a guy that's gonna 0:27:31.160 --> 0:27:32.399 be your bell cal running back. 0:27:32.440 --> 0:27:33.920 But it's gonna be by committee. This season. 0:27:34.000 --> 0:27:37.399 We keep saying it, I mean, and they keep proving 0:27:37.440 --> 0:27:38.679 that that's what they're gonna come out with. 0:27:39.280 --> 0:27:41.359 And my only thing is, you know, when you look 0:27:41.400 --> 0:27:44.080 at these running backs, they're all extremely similar. I mean, 0:27:44.119 --> 0:27:46.000 you have three different backs, but do you have a 0:27:46.000 --> 0:27:48.880 guy that's dynamic outside of you know, in between the tackles, 0:27:49.200 --> 0:27:51.560 like Dalvin cookies it in between the tackles, Zeke, in 0:27:51.560 --> 0:27:52.359 between the tackle? 0:27:52.640 --> 0:27:54.480 What would you what would you call dat? 0:27:55.119 --> 0:27:57.560 But you know what you said that before and not 0:27:57.640 --> 0:27:59.760 in the I didn't disagree with the first time you 0:27:59.800 --> 0:28:02.800 say it. But I just don't see Zeke and Dalvin 0:28:02.840 --> 0:28:06.040 as the same guy. I think Dalvin has a little 0:28:06.040 --> 0:28:09.560 bit more speed on the edge then I would see Zeke. 0:28:10.119 --> 0:28:12.879 You know, I separate them, but tough inside runner. 0:28:13.000 --> 0:28:14.520 I mean, I think I agree, but I see two 0:28:14.520 --> 0:28:17.439 different guys when I think of Dalvin Cook and Ezekiel Elliott. 0:28:17.480 --> 0:28:20.040 You know, who would you say. 0:28:19.920 --> 0:28:22.520 Has more more yards against the Browns, more total yards 0:28:22.520 --> 0:28:23.080 against the Browns? 0:28:23.160 --> 0:28:30.040 Dalvin Cook or without knowing that I'm gonna take Zeke. Yeah, 0:28:30.040 --> 0:28:30.600 I haven't got a got. 0:28:30.960 --> 0:28:33.920 I'm not sure Cook is gonna play much that I'm 0:28:33.920 --> 0:28:34.800 gonna go Zeke, though. 0:28:35.160 --> 0:28:38.000 Who is it? Give me cook? 0:28:38.800 --> 0:28:40.280 Hmhmm, give me some cook. 0:28:40.920 --> 0:28:43.560 He's cooking, be active, that's it. I don't know if 0:28:43.600 --> 0:28:48.040 he's If he is, you feel like, okay, look cook man, 0:28:52.800 --> 0:29:05.360 I'm gonna say this guy, this guy handsome, I let's 0:29:05.440 --> 0:29:12.120 go ye, It's all good. I mean, I just you 0:29:12.200 --> 0:29:12.880 know what I mean. 0:29:13.880 --> 0:29:17.160 That's one where time proofing consistency. He knows the offense 0:29:18.200 --> 0:29:20.320 might trust himself right out of the gate. You know 0:29:20.480 --> 0:29:22.520 you go with I would say you would go with 0:29:22.600 --> 0:29:25.040 somebody that you trust and know, and then Dalvin's got 0:29:25.080 --> 0:29:26.720 to go ahead and start to prove himself a little 0:29:26.760 --> 0:29:27.120 bit here. 0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:39.080 You're missed, dude, what is gonna don't. 0:29:36.320 --> 0:29:40.160 Don't don't sleep on sleep on My God. I'm sorry, 0:29:40.800 --> 0:29:44.200 I'm holding I'm holding it back. I want expectations from 0:29:44.240 --> 0:29:46.520 you from Hunter Lipkey. 0:29:47.920 --> 0:29:49.440 Well want game one? 0:29:49.600 --> 0:29:49.840 Yeah? 0:29:49.920 --> 0:29:53.080 What you got Yeah, buggie shuffle. We're gonna be out there. 0:29:54.040 --> 0:29:56.880 You number one on the fan club the president. 0:29:59.080 --> 0:30:02.520 Look simply say this.

Listen. He's not walking out 0:37:25.520 --> 0:37:28.680 on the limb on this one at all. That's what said. 0:37:28.680 --> 0:37:34.600 If Cayle is hurt, he's your man's straight in.

That means team success. So I'm gonna go 0:37:46.680 --> 0:37:48.960 with that, all right. But I just I'm not going 0:37:49.000 --> 0:37:56.600 with what no no, no, no, no no whoa whoa, whoa No, 0:37:56.800 --> 0:38:01.200 that's not what I'm saying.

I've never seen speed tear the 0:39:03.239 --> 0:39:08.759 ankles up. Man. Man, now they happening. Man, it's all good. 0:39:09.280 --> 0:39:13.200 He lift you okay, man, good, that's somebody that run defense. 0:39:13.239 --> 0:39:15.840 You sold, Joseph, Yeah, I think you gotte. 0:39:16.080 --> 0:39:19.319 You have to get an answer for Mozzie Smith immediately 0:39:19.880 --> 0:39:22.760 as far as a rotational piece, and I think Linvell 0:39:23.280 --> 0:39:25.520 lin Valt Joseph is going to fall into that nicely. 0:39:25.600 --> 0:39:28.359 At least I hope he does. At least I hope 0:39:28.360 --> 0:39:34.360 you at least look, no need Look, this is what 0:39:34.440 --> 0:39:36.799 I need. This is what I need from Joseph. I 0:39:36.920 --> 0:39:42.040 only need him to be a two gap. Plug him up. Okay, 0:39:42.360 --> 0:39:45.680 let my man Eric Kendricks run sideline. The sideline. The 0:39:45.719 --> 0:39:48.560 way that this defense works is when your linebackers can 0:39:48.600 --> 0:39:49.279 get down here. 0:39:49.760 --> 0:39:50.880 That's it. Okay. 0:39:51.120 --> 0:39:54.440 And if Mozzie Smith cannot hold that for four quarters, 0:39:54.560 --> 0:39:56.480 at least now you have a piece in and that's 0:39:56.480 --> 0:39:59.600 why you bring in the other guy, Phillips. Also, Phillips 0:39:59.680 --> 0:40:01.920 is known one but also better known as a three. 0:40:02.120 --> 0:40:05.440 But you got really now three legitimate one techniques that 0:40:05.480 --> 0:40:07.879 you can rotate in and out. You gotta stop the run, 0:40:07.920 --> 0:40:10.760 you know, first of all, Cleveland's first game, you're gonna 0:40:10.760 --> 0:40:13.319 have to stop the run. No matter who Stefanski has 0:40:13.360 --> 0:40:15.120 back that he's gonna give you a healthy dose of 0:40:15.160 --> 0:40:15.839 that running back. 0:40:16.239 --> 0:40:19.400 So how many players do you think lyn Bell Joseph's 0:40:19.400 --> 0:40:19.920 gonna give me. 0:40:20.480 --> 0:40:21.960 I'm gonna go with legit. 0:40:22.120 --> 0:40:24.960 I think he could give you at least ten, and 0:40:25.040 --> 0:40:26.120 that's gonna be enough to. 0:40:27.840 --> 0:40:28.279 Run the ball. 0:40:28.360 --> 0:40:31.319 Yeah, look, I against the team's gonna run and throw 0:40:31.360 --> 0:40:32.839 the ball. I'm telling you ten. 0:40:33.000 --> 0:40:35.280 They running thirty times, at least thirty. 0:40:35.880 --> 0:40:38.200 So, like I said, I put Phillips in there as well. 0:40:38.800 --> 0:40:41.840 I put Zsi Smith in there as well. I'm not 0:40:42.000 --> 0:40:43.719 asking for this guy to go out there and play 0:40:43.760 --> 0:40:44.360 twenty snaps. 0:40:44.360 --> 0:40:46.400 Would you asked Linval Joseph to give you. 0:40:46.560 --> 0:40:49.000 That's what I'm worried, because if Limbal could give you 0:40:49.360 --> 0:40:50.720 at least fifteen. 0:40:50.840 --> 0:40:53.239 You might have a slight chance. But I just don't 0:40:53.239 --> 0:40:54.319 see limval giving you. 0:40:54.920 --> 0:40:58.080 Maybe maybe maybe he gives you eight snaps, but four 0:40:58.120 --> 0:41:01.080 team the ball team that's gonna run the ball at 0:41:01.160 --> 0:41:04.440 least thirty something. Even if this was midway through the 0:41:04.440 --> 0:41:06.680 season and he was ramped up and ready to go, 0:41:06.880 --> 0:41:10.400 all right, maybe, but to start the season off, you know, 0:41:10.480 --> 0:41:14.080 age thirty six, you know ten, ten fifty. 0:41:15.400 --> 0:41:18.239 Man, I really thought that was being conservative and that 0:41:18.360 --> 0:41:19.840 was that was gonna go overwhelm. 0:41:20.920 --> 0:41:21.560 I really did. 0:41:21.880 --> 0:41:24.120 I really I misjudged that one because I had that 0:41:24.239 --> 0:41:26.080 I thought that was pretty good to. 0:41:25.960 --> 0:41:28.600 Say that he would be training camp, like, yeah. 0:41:28.520 --> 0:41:31.040 He gonna come into Where did they put the oxygen outside? 0:41:31.200 --> 0:41:33.120 Oh it's right behind it, right the tank, right behind 0:41:33.120 --> 0:41:36.080 the bench. Yeah, reach around. Not sure. I do livall 0:41:36.200 --> 0:41:38.600 like that, man, Do not don't do him like that. Man, 0:41:38.640 --> 0:41:40.560 I'm just saying, has he had a training camp? Was 0:41:40.560 --> 0:41:44.200 he He was not? Because he wasn't with Dallas danking that's. 0:41:46.440 --> 0:41:46.640 Ball. 0:41:47.239 --> 0:41:51.360 I got oxygen tap is helping. 0:41:51.400 --> 0:41:53.680 If no, no in there, Hey, don't don't get him 0:41:53.680 --> 0:41:56.480 in there. No quick offense does nothing bring him my 0:41:56.560 --> 0:41:58.880 call of time. I get him off the field. Come on, 0:41:59.200 --> 0:42:02.680 ten snaps, ten I got ten, I got ten for 0:42:02.719 --> 0:42:07.719 the big fella, because hey, Mozzi man, nobody, nobody has a. 0:42:07.680 --> 0:42:09.200 Hotter seat than Mozzi Smith. 0:42:09.960 --> 0:42:13.240 Right, nobody has a hotter seat than Mozzi Smith. 0:42:13.280 --> 0:42:14.239 And he has to show you. 0:42:14.560 --> 0:42:18.439 And so he's going to give you a full simple size. 0:42:19.920 --> 0:42:22.040 I love to get a full sample size for you 0:42:22.120 --> 0:42:24.239 to be able to make a judgment on whether he 0:42:24.280 --> 0:42:26.840 could do this job or not. And so I'm not 0:42:26.960 --> 0:42:29.640 asking for the linval Joseph to be a major piece 0:42:29.680 --> 0:42:30.400 in this defense. 0:42:30.680 --> 0:42:33.239 The piece it got to be Kendricks. You mentioned it. 0:42:33.440 --> 0:42:36.080 He's got to be that guy. And the only thing 0:42:36.120 --> 0:42:38.160 that I worry about with Kendrick can he do that 0:42:38.560 --> 0:42:39.680 for you know, eight games? 0:42:39.760 --> 0:42:41.279 Sure, he could be one of the best linebackers in 0:42:41.280 --> 0:42:44.200 the National Football League for eight games, But as we've 0:42:44.200 --> 0:42:46.200 seen these past couple of years, does he have a 0:42:46.280 --> 0:42:47.759 durability to go seventeen? 0:42:48.239 --> 0:42:50.240 And we all understand the season is a long season. 0:42:50.840 --> 0:42:57.239 Not a tall guy either, never has been in locker room. Yeah, 0:42:57.840 --> 0:43:01.640 but if he's out there, you know Clark. 0:43:02.840 --> 0:43:07.520 Is Yeah, So tennaps, ten snaps for Joseph. 0:43:07.600 --> 0:43:12.560 What you got, Phillips, that man, you're asking the mighty lie. 0:43:13.440 --> 0:43:14.719 I'm gonna go ten for him too. 0:43:15.560 --> 0:43:18.880 That's that's twenty twenty twenty aging snaps. 0:43:19.080 --> 0:43:22.520 Yeah, that's twenty right there. Mozzie gotta give me twenty. 0:43:24.080 --> 0:43:26.480 Mozzie gotta come on now, y'all. Listen, y'all, he's your 0:43:26.480 --> 0:43:28.239 first round drift pick. What are you gonna throw them away? 0:43:29.120 --> 0:43:29.520 You can't do? 0:43:30.520 --> 0:43:32.799 Come on now, at least you gotta show you at 0:43:32.840 --> 0:43:37.240 least a flash or something. We've been we've been talking 0:43:37.280 --> 0:43:39.759 about this rotation since the beginning, and we knew that 0:43:39.800 --> 0:43:42.760 we had to just comb other rosters to find somebody 0:43:42.760 --> 0:43:44.160 to come in here and back this guy up. We 0:43:44.200 --> 0:43:46.800 didn't feel like we had it on this roster previous. 0:43:46.880 --> 0:43:49.040 So you get lin Val Joseph in here, and my 0:43:49.200 --> 0:43:51.560 question is what kind of what kind of impact can 0:43:51.640 --> 0:43:54.600 lin Val Joseph have on Mazzie Smith if nothing else? 0:43:55.680 --> 0:43:57.560 If nothing else, because we got we gotta have a 0:43:57.640 --> 0:44:00.480 run stuffer, otherwise we just running back what we did 0:44:00.560 --> 0:44:01.200 last season. 0:44:01.680 --> 0:44:05.759 Yeah, better hope the turnovers are coming. Oh that's cosmetic. 0:44:05.960 --> 0:44:08.400 All that's cosmetic, because if you're not getting turnovers and 0:44:08.520 --> 0:44:12.439 you're not getting sacks, then what you're just the average defense? Right, 0:44:12.520 --> 0:44:14.600 And so we can't we can't. We can't have that part. 0:44:14.600 --> 0:44:16.200 What we have to do is stop the run. That's 0:44:16.200 --> 0:44:19.520 why you brought in Mike Zimmer as a defensive coordinator 0:44:19.560 --> 0:44:21.280 to stop the run, because that's his in moom. 0:44:21.320 --> 0:44:25.239 Ain't a magician. Got needs some help. Right now, we'll 0:44:25.280 --> 0:44:28.759 see what the reinforcements do. So we'll continue this as 0:44:28.760 --> 0:44:35.200 we go forward. This week Cowboys Browns Game one in Cleveland, 0:44:35.239 --> 0:44:39.759 Ohioick I forgot cool, I forgot about and they got 0:44:40.120 --> 0:44:40.840 the guy from. 0:44:40.920 --> 0:44:45.200 Denver, right, Jerry, Jerry Judy. They got Jerry Judy. Yeah, 0:44:45.239 --> 0:44:48.760 they got some there they got in Alabama. 0:44:49.400 --> 0:44:52.600 No, it was over the. 0:44:53.400 --> 0:44:59.600 Cook and Joe cool.
