Speaker 3: And you were looking live.
Speaker 4: At Toasted a wet TOASTEDOS Championship Plaza outside Fort Center
Speaker 4: at the Star of Prisco, where at seventy five degrees
Speaker 4: it feels it feels like seventy five. How today will

Speaker 4: I thought the cool weather was back, but it ain't.
Speaker 3: Guess not, it ain't.
Speaker 5: It's temperate outside right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah it's fine, it's fine, It's just not cool. So
Speaker 3: what did we do with our bye weeks. Heckm what
Speaker 3: did you do?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 7: Man? Kids? You know, got more kids than the man
Speaker 7: that lived in a shoe.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so as a grocery bill, with the grocery bills
Speaker 8: up there, man, just you know what I did, some
Speaker 8: chilling down obviously called some games, but yeah, man, it.
Speaker 7: Was cool to be like stress free. Did you feel that?
Speaker 3: No, because the Rangers played last night, so I.
Speaker 7: Was stress you know, I'm gonna take you so I'm
Speaker 7: not going to even pretend to be and.
Speaker 3: The Eagles won, so I was not stressed.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but you know a lot of people, a lot
Speaker 8: of people will pretend to be Bandwagon fans, and that
Speaker 8: is something I will not claim to do. But I
Speaker 8: felt the anxiety, uh, and the depression from was it Friday?
Speaker 7: Friday?
Speaker 8: Seem I was like, why am I feeling so good
Speaker 8: in this? Everybody seems to be feeling so bad right now?
Speaker 8: And then I realize what happened, and then obviously yesterday
Speaker 8: everybody's back, everybody's back to life. But yeah, man, it
Speaker 8: was for me. It was a stress free weekend. So
Speaker 8: it was Saturday, actually was it Saturday?
Speaker 3: Yay? Yeah, back to back game.
Speaker 5: It was back to back games.
Speaker 9: But that's the thing about baseball that I think is
Speaker 9: also really cool is that it happens like the game
Speaker 9: is the next day, Like you can redeem yourself fixed whatever, the.
Speaker 3: Next day, where you can just not for six months you.
Speaker 5: Can be bad.
Speaker 9: No, Yeah, I felt that too, like because I feel
Speaker 9: like on the timeline, everybody's talking about Rangers baseball, and
Speaker 9: I'm not really a baseball person, but i'm and I've
Speaker 9: been listening to what's going on.
Speaker 8: So they did play to night they played, Yes, yeah,
Speaker 8: it's big time.
Speaker 9: The game seven just me anxiety because its just the
Speaker 9: fact that we haven't had, you know, offense, y'all, but.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we haven't had very similar to the Rangers.
Speaker 3: They've been so close.
Speaker 4: Rangers have been closer than the Cowboys, but they've been close,
Speaker 4: but they've never won it.
Speaker 3: And they've been one out away.
Speaker 4: One year, the Rangers never won the Okay, I just
Speaker 4: they were one hour away from the world winning.
Speaker 3: The whole thing. They were up what was the two games,
Speaker 3: Chris or three?
Speaker 10: They were up a game they just had to win
Speaker 10: in uh in Saint Louis, And the guy dropped the
Speaker 10: ball out and right.
Speaker 3: Dropped the ball right field, and then they.
Speaker 4: Play on bases and then they got dropped the next
Speaker 4: and it's and it's who they're playing too.
Speaker 3: Because for people.
Speaker 5: That, yeah, that's half of it.
Speaker 3: They don't live around here.
Speaker 4: Houston and Dallas do not get along. Yes, like Houston,
Speaker 4: Dallas looks at Houston.
Speaker 3: As it's a little brothers.
Speaker 4: Houston thinks Houston's better than the Dallas And there.
Speaker 7: You said the other way around if you were in
Speaker 7: Houston being from Monday.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, in fact that the people in Houston are
Speaker 4: probably a lot more like people from Monroe.
Speaker 3: Dallas and there you know there, you know.
Speaker 8: It's then Louisiana. It's the Louisiana connection down to Houston, so.
Speaker 4: A lot of South Louisiana people. Yeah, and for careers
Speaker 4: and stuff. So there's that aspect. And then unless you
Speaker 4: were an Astros fan, you hate the Astros. No one
Speaker 4: in the country likes the Astros because of the whole cheating.
Speaker 9: Oh I remember that, not even Yeah.
Speaker 4: And then when you look at Jose Altuve, he's one
Speaker 4: of I think two guys that was still there and
Speaker 4: the him and Bregman were two of the guys that
Speaker 4: were there during all the cheating stuff. Like you look
Speaker 4: at Alve and he's five to five literally and he
Speaker 4: owns the Rangers.
Speaker 7: He does you just want to I know that you
Speaker 7: just want.
Speaker 3: To punch him when you look at him on TV.
Speaker 4: It's like I can staying that guy and he keeps
Speaker 4: delivering any He's a dude.
Speaker 8: Did he cancel Christmas on it was Friday? It wasn't
Speaker 8: Friday that Friday? Yeah, he is?
Speaker 3: He is the Rangers.
Speaker 4: Deshaun uh Jackson, Yes, yeah, And it was Santana Moss
Speaker 4: to Santana Moss used to just like, yeah, yeah, two
Speaker 4: guys up and whatever, show up anywhere play the Cowboys.
Speaker 10: He I am so happy that the game and then
Speaker 10: he got the two in the end zone for fourteen thirteen.
Speaker 11: They lost.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yep, yep. So bad memories A.
Speaker 5: Wee chill weekend. Like you said, yesterday was just real.
Speaker 9: I had a moment where I was like, there's just
Speaker 9: nothing at Steak here for me.
Speaker 5: This is great.
Speaker 9: Like I didn't have to I didn't feel stressed at
Speaker 9: all watching football yesterday. That was nice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was nice.
Speaker 5: I just enjoyed football.
Speaker 8: So I was a Dolphins fan yesterday for me two
Speaker 8: and a half hours and then I jumped off that train.
Speaker 4: Him fifty on them and it didn't happen. So what
Speaker 4: do you think about the Eagles because I thought, well.
Speaker 11: The officials were the Eagles fans?
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, stop, but you can't never going to blame
Speaker 4: a game on officials except the Raiders game the.
Speaker 3: Cowboys to was that two years ago. That was the
Speaker 3: most ridiculous called game I've ever I mean, but that's.
Speaker 9: I feel very seriously about this as someone that considers
Speaker 9: myself an upcoming analyst, I think it's I think it's
Speaker 9: hypocritical for us to say when people are like, well,
Speaker 9: the officials shouldn't they shouldn't be someone or a part
Speaker 9: of the game that you're relying on, or whatever the
Speaker 9: case may be. But they are a part of the game.
Speaker 9: They are a part of the game. They're and the rules,
Speaker 9: they're there, they're present, and their decisions and stuff that
Speaker 9: they do. It plays a huge role in again analysis
Speaker 9: because it's momentum changing. Sometimes it changes, it changes the game,
Speaker 9: and if it has anything that has influence on the game,
Speaker 9: I have to analyze. So I hate when when it's
Speaker 9: just one of those things where it's like, well, just
Speaker 9: throw the officials out there.
Speaker 5: No, you can't.
Speaker 9: I need to consider how their decisions and their calls
Speaker 9: change this game or how they just impacted the game.
Speaker 9: So for me, I'm like, I ain't never seen nothing
Speaker 9: like that before.
Speaker 5: And I do understand that they did.
Speaker 9: Have some some rules like cancel out what was it like, yeah,
Speaker 9: all seven penalties? Rather I understand that, but I was
Speaker 9: just like, very rarely do you see a team in
Speaker 9: the NFL this at this point in time, have no
Speaker 9: penalties or no infractions. So I'm not gonna sit up
Speaker 9: here and act like you know, I wasn't questioning what
Speaker 9: was going on. But Philly they did what they needed
Speaker 9: to win the game. They're weird to me. I will
Speaker 9: say this year they're less of this dominant force that
Speaker 9: you saw, because I do think that offensive line is
Speaker 9: not as dominant as as it's been before.
Speaker 5: But they're finding ways to win.
Speaker 9: They're finding ways to win games to where you be like,
Speaker 9: how the hell did they win that game? They look
Speaker 9: terrible that game too, and especially losing the turnover battle
Speaker 9: that typically means you lose. But they're figuring out ways
Speaker 9: to win games right now with new coordinators and stuff,
Speaker 9: and I don't like it. I don't like it, but
Speaker 9: they figuring it out.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Look, I'm I'm not an Eagles fan at all, and
Speaker 8: every chance I get to bashing my due and I
Speaker 8: won't waste this opportunity.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 8: Look, I think Josh mc not McDaniels. McDaniels the coach
Speaker 8: for the for the Dolphins, he did a horrible job.
Speaker 8: I thought that there was there were moments that he
Speaker 8: outthought the process of just doing what you do naturally.
Speaker 8: Their offense, I think runs a lot on is predicated
Speaker 8: on their running.
Speaker 7: Game and also they want to get the ball out
Speaker 7: to to Reek Hill.
Speaker 8: I thought a lot of that the offense that I've
Speaker 8: seen prior to the Eagles game, they kind of scrapped
Speaker 8: it defensively. Look, they left some things to be desired
Speaker 8: on the defensive end, and I think that the Eagles
Speaker 8: sometimes they outplay They outplayed them, especially with that matchup
Speaker 8: on a B on the outside. It just it didn't
Speaker 8: make sense the way they played number eleven. But look,
Speaker 8: the Eagles, as much as they are inflated, I see
Speaker 8: them as one of the top teams in the NFC.
Speaker 8: I want to give them the credit that they are due.
Speaker 8: But I also believe that if you look at it
Speaker 8: from that quarterback from Jalen Hurts, you see he's susceptible.
Speaker 8: He's making those mistakes, he's throwing the interceptions, he's not
Speaker 8: making great decisions with the ball. So look, it's just
Speaker 8: right on time for me. I can't wait for a
Speaker 8: matchup with them into it.
Speaker 7: Huh.
Speaker 5: It was to be expected a bit though for me.
Speaker 9: Him coming into this year, just because of the collarbone
Speaker 9: injury last year. I think that was a wake up
Speaker 9: moment a little bit for him. And I do think
Speaker 9: that a lot of mobile quarterbacks that come into the lead.
Speaker 5: Bucky Brooks said this to me at the combine.
Speaker 9: He said that every quarterback that is an athlete, they
Speaker 9: have to make the decision to be a quarterback that's
Speaker 9: an athlete and not an athlete that's a quarterback. And
Speaker 9: with Jalen, I figured he was taking that next step
Speaker 9: this year, especially with the injury. I think Dak did
Speaker 9: that in twenty nineteen where he took the next step
Speaker 9: and he became more of a passer and he did
Speaker 9: throw next to last year. That was the year he
Speaker 9: was highest and picks before last year, And I think that.
Speaker 5: The reason that's being is because.
Speaker 9: Yeah, they have to become a passer, they have to
Speaker 9: become someone that's comfortable sitting in the pocket.
Speaker 5: You can't take that torture. I think that Ar.
Speaker 9: Fifteen up in Indianapolis is figuring out right now that.
Speaker 5: You know Anthony.
Speaker 9: Richardson, it's it's a decision. It's difficult, but Lamar Jackson did.
Speaker 9: He started it last year, one of the highest years
Speaker 9: of picks for him.
Speaker 3: He's it's a transition to the next step.
Speaker 9: The next step for me is again when I hear.
Speaker 4: That, I think he's going to the next level. He's
Speaker 4: becoming a good quarterback. And you're talking about throwing picks.
Speaker 9: No, no, no, no, absolutely, And when you're taking the
Speaker 9: next step, it's being comfortable being a pocket passer, being accurate,
Speaker 9: delivering the ball on time. Because when you're running the
Speaker 9: rpo is great, it's fantastic. I think it's very but
Speaker 9: it can't be the determining factor of your game. You
Speaker 9: physically cannot take that as a quarterback doing that for
Speaker 9: years upon years upon years, And I do think it's
Speaker 9: very important for them to ease it.
Speaker 5: And I think that's kind of where we are with
Speaker 5: Dak right now.
Speaker 9: Where you're like, you're a fantastic passer, but you know,
Speaker 9: we still want you to run the ball sometimes.
Speaker 5: We still want you to have that part of your game.
Speaker 9: But it's important to me for them to develop into
Speaker 9: a passer also, even.
Speaker 5: Though they come in as passers. It's just perfecting it.
Speaker 4: Okay, I think where you lost me. You said them
Speaker 4: take the next step. You mentioned interceptions. You meant fewer interceptions.
Speaker 9: No, they're going to I expect oh yeah, I know.
Speaker 9: I with taking the next step, I expect more interceptions
Speaker 9: using the legs because yes, because they're they're getting a field,
Speaker 9: they're getting a feel for being a passer and being
Speaker 9: able to be accurate at all time. And I'm not
Speaker 9: saying that these guys don't have They have that ability,
Speaker 9: but a lot of the time when they're in college
Speaker 9: colleges rely upon that too. They rely upon their legs
Speaker 9: a lot. They're not going to be able to do
Speaker 9: that for the duration of their career if they want
Speaker 9: to last in this league because people are waiting to
Speaker 9: tee you up every time they get a chance.
Speaker 8: You know, I don't get caught in that. A guy
Speaker 8: is who he is. If you come into the league
Speaker 8: as a running quarterback. If you come in and that's
Speaker 8: who you then that dimension of the game has to
Speaker 8: be accepted because the NFL is changing. The NFL is
Speaker 8: changing because of guys like Lamar Jackson. His threat to
Speaker 8: run the ball is making offensive defensive coordinator stay up
Speaker 8: at night because when he decides to leave the pocket
Speaker 8: and run the ball, you're one on one.
Speaker 7: A safety is one on one with Lamar. I think
Speaker 7: when people.
Speaker 8: Talk about being on time and being a pocket pass so, yes,
Speaker 8: that's a dimension of your job. But I don't want
Speaker 8: to take that away from young guys. Yeah, young guys
Speaker 8: like Jalen Hurts. I think for Jalen Hurts, I followed
Speaker 8: his career since he was in college in Alabama. He
Speaker 8: was able to make the simple throws, the fade go,
Speaker 8: you know, balls like that. But now you know in
Speaker 8: the NFL everything is related to timing. When things break down,
Speaker 8: that's when you see Jalen Hurts at his best, creating, improvamizational.
Speaker 8: Those things I don't think you can ever take away
Speaker 8: from him because it makes him who he is and
Speaker 8: as dangerous as he is as a quarterback.
Speaker 7: Interceptions are part of the game.
Speaker 8: Ball gets deflected bad read whatever these things are going
Speaker 8: to happen. All I'm saying is for a god like
Speaker 8: that in his development from where he was last year
Speaker 8: to where he is right now, you see him kind
Speaker 8: of good. He's in a tough spot right now. So
Speaker 8: you know, I'm interested. I'm interested to see for the
Speaker 8: rest of the season how he develops or if he
Speaker 8: gets through this rough patch, or if he you know,
Speaker 8: if he tanks, if he goes any for I would
Speaker 8: love that, by the way, you know, I want him
Speaker 8: to throw three or four more.
Speaker 9: He's sliding a lot more. Yeah, he's sliding. Ont He's
Speaker 9: sliding a lot more. He's not fighting for those extra
Speaker 9: yards the same way he was.
Speaker 5: That's my point, Yeah, like.
Speaker 9: Yeah, is that he's I think that he's considering the
Speaker 9: fact that he's and when you mentioned the timing and
Speaker 9: also to the new OC, I think that matters too,
Speaker 9: Like they're still trying to figure things out. And so
Speaker 9: I mean, I think A. J. Brown is insane. He
Speaker 9: makes me sit.
Speaker 12: Ye.
Speaker 4: What the thing that scares me about them is they're
Speaker 4: they're doing it ugly and they're finding.
Speaker 7: That's what I mean is to where we're so used.
Speaker 4: Around here to finding ways to lose, right, And it's
Speaker 4: no you've I've been in it teers, I'm allowed to
Speaker 4: say yes, so I can say it because I've lived it, right,
Speaker 4: But it's it's frustrating.
Speaker 3: You know, even when we had.
Speaker 4: When Romo was here, it was you always seem to
Speaker 4: find a way to lose a close game or a
Speaker 4: big game.
Speaker 3: Now they want some close ones.
Speaker 4: I'm not saying every time, but it's just that's what
Speaker 4: scares me about Philly is it's not all clicking at
Speaker 4: the same time. But you know what they do have
Speaker 4: a hell of a running game and a hell of
Speaker 4: a defensive they do, and that travels and that that's
Speaker 4: that helps you in play off football.
Speaker 6: So it's gonna be where you think.
Speaker 3: They are right now.
Speaker 4: I would put I would probably put forty nine ers
Speaker 4: at one. I would probably put Kansas City and Miami's
Speaker 4: probably a toss up at two, and then probably Philly.
Speaker 4: I think any one of those other three teams could
Speaker 4: be interchangeable two.
Speaker 3: Three, and four.
Speaker 8: You know, I'm not going to even front man. I
Speaker 8: think right now the Eagles are the top dog. And
Speaker 8: the reason, yeah, I do, and the reason I put
Speaker 8: them there is that defensive front, and the forty nine
Speaker 8: ers are just as good. But when I look at
Speaker 8: the Philadelphia Eagles, what they have up front is really scary.
Speaker 8: It's scary, and they're going to be in a lot
Speaker 8: of games because of that defensive front. You saw the
Speaker 8: way that they reached havoc on the Miami Dolphins. And
Speaker 8: also another point about this is everybody's hurt right now.
Speaker 8: There's a lot of teams that are dealing with missing
Speaker 8: pieces and this next man up mentality doesn't work for everybody,
Speaker 8: especially when we're talking about offensive linemen. And so you
Speaker 8: saw that last night for the Miami Dolphins because of
Speaker 8: that push that they were able to get up front,
Speaker 8: they were missing some really key pieces. So look, let's
Speaker 8: see how this looks later in the season when guys
Speaker 8: are getting back healthy and teams are looking better. But
Speaker 8: right now, yeah, Philly is, Philly is tops.
Speaker 3: About you? Here's your top three three to five teams
Speaker 3: right now?
Speaker 9: I mean, I agree, I would say Philly is is
Speaker 9: because I do think that they can they can last
Speaker 9: without if their run game isn't doing everything right right now.
Speaker 5: I do think that.
Speaker 9: The San Francis San Francisco forty nine ers, their run
Speaker 9: game matters to them. Christian McCaffrey from not mistake and
Speaker 9: makes up like thirty six.
Speaker 5: Percent of their offense.
Speaker 9: So with him, I'm curious to see how he is
Speaker 9: come back. But to your point, yeah, Philly can dominate.
Speaker 9: That's how they win a lot of games. They can
Speaker 9: dominate the line of scrimmage on Bosa and shut you down.
Speaker 9: And even with their offensive line, to me not being
Speaker 9: as dominant as they were last year, they're still one
Speaker 9: of the best in the league. Easy, easily I means
Speaker 9: so yeah, for me, I would say Philly, the forty
Speaker 9: nine ers, the Chiefs, they're starting to figure it out
Speaker 9: a little bit. It seems like, especially offense, they're starting
Speaker 9: to figure it out.
Speaker 3: Oh, they got Taylor swift watching them every week. They
Speaker 3: got to show out.
Speaker 7: I love I love it.
Speaker 6: You're sick, do I answered?
Speaker 7: I love it?
Speaker 5: I love eyes listening.
Speaker 9: I'm sorry, girl, spare us please, I can't take.
Speaker 7: It show as much as possible. You know, the NFL
Speaker 7: is eating it up.
Speaker 3: They need we get you there every week.
Speaker 8: This would be a missed opportunity of your marketing team
Speaker 8: if you're not taking advantage of the Swifties and you
Speaker 8: got on the games genius, but it is.
Speaker 3: You know, Chris, who's your top four or five right now?
Speaker 11: Four or five?
Speaker 3: Thanks for listening to the show.
Speaker 10: Wow, you know, I was doing a little research. When
Speaker 10: was the last time the Cowboys had no penalties in
Speaker 10: the game? Never two thousand and five against Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 3: Really two thousand.
Speaker 11: It was thirty four to thirteen?
Speaker 7: Was it here or there?
Speaker 11: It was home They had eight, we had zero. So
Speaker 11: there you go.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 4: No, we were just talking about our top our top
Speaker 4: five teams in the NFL.
Speaker 3: How would you rank? What would be your ranking?
Speaker 10: I would say San Francisco because I saw them live
Speaker 10: and they're pretty good. Yeah, Kansas City doesn't lose. It
Speaker 10: seems like when they don't want to. I mean like
Speaker 10: they could be down thirty and it's like, all right,
Speaker 10: let's okay, let's play.
Speaker 11: All right, go Philly.
Speaker 4: Taylor's here, Let's put the Travis go down the field.
Speaker 10: We have to be Philly right now.
Speaker 11: I think Miami is.
Speaker 7: Still in it.
Speaker 10: Yeah, for sure, Miami. Because here's the thing about Miami.
Speaker 10: If you watched the last I mean I was watching
Speaker 10: them two games that once. Last night I was watching
Speaker 10: the base all game and that game, and I felt
Speaker 10: like Miami left points on on the field.
Speaker 11: Like Tyreek hought the ball, dropped it, kicked.
Speaker 10: It in the end zone and he he was walking
Speaker 10: into the end zone and changed the game.
Speaker 8: As a as a former wide receiver, Chris, you know,
Speaker 8: he was already doing his backflip before he caught the ball.
Speaker 7: He was already in celebration.
Speaker 11: You can throw it out here, kicks it to the
Speaker 11: end zone.
Speaker 10: I mean, I swear, that's a scary game.
Speaker 11: One more.
Speaker 3: That's five. Four Fine, I only did four.
Speaker 5: I think what the Ravens is doing is yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think. I think.
Speaker 11: I think Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 10: I mean, when you're at it, when you're playing against
Speaker 10: the Detroit Lions and they have to switch you at
Speaker 10: halftime because I was watching it. I don't have NFL tickets.
Speaker 10: I was watching the network games and they actually switched
Speaker 10: off of Fox at half time. More competitive ouch because
Speaker 10: that game was out of control.
Speaker 7: Out bet you to see that coming.
Speaker 11: I didn't see that one coming.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 9: That surprised me because I thought Detroit has been playing
Speaker 9: really good.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and they just think they came so good.
Speaker 3: They just had a bad week. Yeah, we've had a
Speaker 3: bad week happened.
Speaker 5: In the league.
Speaker 9: From what I know, right, I was, I was told
Speaker 9: that that doesn't stinker.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you go throw open the egg unless you know
Speaker 3: you're the Patriots.
Speaker 10: That one year, I mean when we lost, when we
Speaker 10: lost to San Francisco, went and looked to see what
Speaker 10: Kansas City's bad loss was.
Speaker 11: Last year was the same week.
Speaker 10: Actually last year Kansas City lost to Indianapolis too.
Speaker 11: It was like yeah, yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 3: All right, well Chris, let's go to break.
Speaker 11: Let's go to break, Yes, go to break.

Speaker 5: I was just curious.
Speaker 4: That's cool, man, I know, Candy, Yeah, yes, you can't.
Speaker 17: Yeah, they talking to somebody that it's not strict, you know.
Speaker 17: It's like, yeah, man, Halloween, I'm all in. Let's go
Speaker 17: double all right, let's do something fun. We were going
Speaker 17: to do this.
Speaker 3: We ran out of time on when's the last time
Speaker 3: we were together Wednesday?
Speaker 7: Wednesday?
Speaker 3: Yeah, ok, yeah, let's do this. Let's go through the
Speaker 3: position groups, and you guys give me a grade. We
Speaker 3: did what we do last time?
Speaker 7: I don't know. Shannon, the host of the show, I know.
Speaker 3: But I don't remember what we did. We did the
Speaker 3: overall team, Yes, we did. So let's do position groups.
Speaker 7: Let's run through them, all right.
Speaker 3: Offensive line, heck.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna give this O line to c Yeah, I'm
Speaker 7: going to see. How come I see? You know.
Speaker 8: I think we haven't been able to get the running
Speaker 8: game going, and that's the biggest disappointment so far in
Speaker 8: the first quarter of this season, the running game has
Speaker 8: not been there. We've had some flashes, it's shown its
Speaker 8: head a few times, and then it's gone back in
Speaker 8: the cupboard. I think the injuries and God's not being
Speaker 8: able to have the synergy is is kind of made
Speaker 8: a difference. Now, I think after the bye that's where
Speaker 8: I'm curious to see where our health is and if
Speaker 8: we can get the running game going, that's gonna be
Speaker 8: the biggest component for the rest of the season. Can
Speaker 8: we get the running game established?
Speaker 9: Now, I'm gonna I'm gonna everything he said, it's correct,
Speaker 9: but I'm gonna go see plus.
Speaker 5: Given the fact that.
Speaker 9: Plus, I'm doing C plus because of the fact that.
Speaker 5: Noe the seed was what I was going with too.
Speaker 9: But I'm giving them a C plus because of what
Speaker 9: you've said, because of the fact that they've been able
Speaker 9: to endure some crazy injuries to start the year. We
Speaker 9: got to see some of these depth players, which I
Speaker 9: thought was important to me personally at the beginning of
Speaker 9: the year.
Speaker 5: So for me, I will give them.
Speaker 9: A C plus because I think that they've they've done
Speaker 9: what they could until they got these guys together. To
Speaker 9: your point, the run game is gonna be important going
Speaker 9: moving forward, But to this point, I think we've gotten
Speaker 9: to see a little bit of the depths and I
Speaker 9: believe that that's gonna matter later on in the seats.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right with it, Let's get to say the
Speaker 4: interesting ones for later.
Speaker 3: Safety.
Speaker 8: Heck, safety, I'm going to go, man, I gotta go
Speaker 8: be you gotta go be in the safety room. And
Speaker 8: the reason why I'm going to be in the safety
Speaker 8: room and instead of an aid because the safety group
Speaker 8: has done well. It's just we got victimized by the
Speaker 8: tight end in that San Francisco game and I can't
Speaker 8: live they can't let that one go. And that's where
Speaker 8: I'm at with.
Speaker 3: That, to be penalized.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, and I think look that game and
Speaker 8: also the Arizona Cardinals game. That those two games, I
Speaker 8: thought we saw the worst from my safety group. But
Speaker 8: other than that, man, I think this is an improving group.
Speaker 8: Jiron Kurts, he's he's the piece. Then I look at it.
Speaker 8: I'm like, man, you don't know how vital you are
Speaker 8: to this season because he's gonna be man the man on.
Speaker 7: A lot of tight ends throughout the season.
Speaker 3: Yep. Where do you put Marquis Bell? Do you put
Speaker 3: him in the linebacker group or he's a linebacker? Linebacker?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm gonna go be too.
Speaker 5: Dang it. Hefma going first.
Speaker 9: I'm he's saying all he's saying all the points but no, Yeah,
Speaker 9: I think this safety group, they're still I think people
Speaker 9: are starting to kind of figure out ways to attack
Speaker 9: your big nickel. I think they came out well this
Speaker 9: past week last week and they adjusted him. They played
Speaker 9: fast and then obviously Donovan Wilson coming back getting his
Speaker 9: legs under him.
Speaker 5: That stuff matters too. So yeah, I agree.
Speaker 9: I think that they've they've played pretty well to start
Speaker 9: the season. You're gonna need them a lot and run support.
Speaker 9: Move forward.
Speaker 3: All right, this was yours first defensive line, Tater Todds.
Speaker 9: I will give them a I give them a come on, man,
Speaker 9: I would give the d fitsive line.
Speaker 5: Actually, you know what, dude, I might give them.
Speaker 9: I think I'm gonna give him a considering it, considering Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 9: I think this defensive line, the times that they've had
Speaker 9: to stop the run and be stout, they've done that.
Speaker 5: I think they've shown that they can do that.
Speaker 9: And then also to the rush of the past or
Speaker 9: they've been there and they're making plays when you need
Speaker 9: them to make plays. I like the rotation that they
Speaker 9: have right now from a from a certain standpoint, and
Speaker 9: Jonathan Hankins quietly has been so important to what they
Speaker 9: want to do. I'm very glad we've had him here
Speaker 9: to start the season and just not the end of
Speaker 9: the season too.
Speaker 5: I'll give him a right.
Speaker 8: I mean, you know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be
Speaker 8: on the defensive line. It's just look Mansie Smith. To me,
Speaker 8: when we drafted him, I am I and I envisioned
Speaker 8: him having more of an impact early than he's had.
Speaker 8: The struggles that he had through camp and the start
Speaker 8: of season. I couldn't have anticipated that. I don't think
Speaker 8: anybody could, right, It's just but but Osa diggi zul
Speaker 8: is a guy that I was high on coming into
Speaker 8: this season. I wanted to see him have more of
Speaker 8: an impact. Gallamore as well, that Chauncey Golston arms, Darrin's armstrong,
Speaker 8: that whole rotation I figured would be a lot more
Speaker 8: dominant than what they are right now. And that's awesome
Speaker 8: even so, and and and what I see, like he
Speaker 8: has those splashes where you're like, my god, look at this,
Speaker 8: kids like that's that's That's what I'm talking about, and
Speaker 8: him being one of the guys that I look at
Speaker 8: as a young leader on that defensive front.
Speaker 7: So, I mean, it's not a C. It's not a D,
Speaker 7: it's a B.
Speaker 9: You're passing, You're good, but I just need to see.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I mean, my thing is I'm looking for as much
Speaker 8: as we talk about Micah and the matchups that he's getting,
Speaker 8: I would have expected for more guys to be eaten
Speaker 8: by now. I would expect it for some guys to
Speaker 8: be really like high up on the sack tackles for
Speaker 8: lost column and the pressures.
Speaker 9: But I also think too, when they're going against these
Speaker 9: quarterbacks to get the ball out fast, it's it is
Speaker 9: far more difficult to be that impactful. And that's kind
Speaker 9: of the m MO against the Cowboys at this point. So,
Speaker 9: I mean, but I was I was, like I said,
Speaker 9: I was just surprised that you mentioned.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's it's it's not a thing where where I'm
Speaker 8: worried about him. It's like I expect ninety seven to
Speaker 8: be that dude, you know.
Speaker 4: Wanted them to be dominant, absolutely them to be step
Speaker 4: up with d Law, which, by the way, he's having.
Speaker 9: That's what I was about to say, I think d
Speaker 9: Laws maybe having one of the best years of his career.
Speaker 5: Low key, I mean, have you seen him, of.
Speaker 3: Course, is he completely healthy?
Speaker 7: This year. Don't know. I don't know, but.
Speaker 4: I know he's had the back issue and it seems
Speaker 4: like it's always bothered him.
Speaker 3: And he looks like he's looks he looks good.
Speaker 8: Yeah him, and look him against the run. I've seen
Speaker 8: those flashes where we've needed ninety to be the merch
Speaker 8: thirty guy up front and he's and he's proved it.
Speaker 8: I mean that's look, guys, just for me, like, hey,
Speaker 8: this is hanging with the boys. So there are no
Speaker 8: correct answers, That's what I mean. I mean, I've seen,
Speaker 8: like to your point, like he's been He's been awesome.
Speaker 8: He's been everything that we've needed up front. I've just
Speaker 8: felt as though when I'm going back and watching film
Speaker 8: and I'm like, man, Micah and these ones in these
Speaker 8: double team chipping situations, I want other people to get
Speaker 8: off more. I want other guys to have those be
Speaker 8: on that trajectory of having double digit sacks and just
Speaker 8: I haven't seen that happen yet.
Speaker 4: Okay, last one that we're gonna get a break, Aisha,
Speaker 4: this is an interesting one.
Speaker 3: Linebacker.
Speaker 9: Oh wow, I will give linebacker a A C.
Speaker 3: Okay a strong C strong so C plus Yeah.
Speaker 9: I mean, I'll give them a solid see yeah, solid see.
Speaker 9: It's just the aggressiveness and the consistency for me moving forward,
Speaker 9: I think these guys are seeing it, but I just I'm.
Speaker 5: Looking for them to attack more.
Speaker 9: And we got to see a little bit of that
Speaker 9: this past week with Marquise Bell and de Moont Clark.
Speaker 9: But moving forward, I just want them to fill with
Speaker 9: aggression and to be you know, their reaction to be
Speaker 9: to be violent almost sometimes like I'm just I don't
Speaker 9: want them catching and kind of waiting for the play
Speaker 9: to develop. If they see it, I want them to
Speaker 9: attack it a lot more because I do think this
Speaker 9: defensive line is working hard. So for me, I would
Speaker 9: give them a ceed at this point in junk sure.
Speaker 7: Okay, okay, just keeping it real.
Speaker 8: I'm going to d in this group and I said
Speaker 8: from the beginning of the season that this is a
Speaker 8: elite defense. What is going to separate them is what
Speaker 8: they can do in the linebacker room. And look, Lady,
Speaker 8: Vandersch played. He was having a good season, but just
Speaker 8: like some other guys up front, there was inconsistency there.
Speaker 8: I think the injuries that happened to De Marvey and
Speaker 8: Overshawn that that was a critical That was a big
Speaker 8: one because I think his contribution and as a rookie
Speaker 8: could have been something you never can depend on. But
Speaker 8: I'm just saying from where he was in the preseason,
Speaker 8: I think demon Clark when I watch him, man, I
Speaker 8: have questions about, you know, whether he's interpreted, if he's
Speaker 8: seeing it to play with that violent aggression that you're
Speaker 8: talking about, Aisha, I just feel like, you know, we've
Speaker 8: been missing that piece in the linebacker room, and I
Speaker 8: think when we go into the draft this year, that's
Speaker 8: going to be a position that they really look at
Speaker 8: strong because Marquise Bell is undersized for a linebacker and
Speaker 8: teams are going to discover that and run right at him.
Speaker 9: And fairness, you know, Rashaun Evans is a gentleman that
Speaker 9: plays with that aggression with He's a thumper with that
Speaker 9: downhill mentality. I wonder if his temperament kind of changes,
Speaker 9: how that second level feels.
Speaker 5: He has that ability.
Speaker 9: Watch quite a bit of film on him from last year.
Speaker 9: He also has the ability to rush and he is
Speaker 9: effective as a blitzer when he does it too so
Speaker 9: for me, and he's a veteran. He's a veteran he's
Speaker 9: seen it before, he's been around before, and I'm hoping
Speaker 9: that some of that that mentality that he plays with
Speaker 9: and that aggressiveness that he plays with rubs off a
Speaker 9: little bit of these guys are his influence influences that
Speaker 9: second level as well.
Speaker 3: So all right, let's take your last break.
Speaker 4: When we come back, we got some interesting ones to
Speaker 4: break down, including your quarterback.
Speaker 3: Want to hanging with the peeps.

Speaker 6: Enter today, back Hanging with the Bulls.
Speaker 3: Welcome back to the final segment, Hanging with the People.
Speaker 4: Brought to you into it every day by Jigsaw, the
Speaker 4: official dating partner of the Dallas Cowboys. And we are
Speaker 4: breaking down position groups man and what our grades are
Speaker 4: for each group. And so far we've gotten through offensive line,
Speaker 4: defensive line, linebacker, and safety. Now let's you know what,
Speaker 4: let's just let's just check the last, uh defensive position off.
Speaker 4: This is an interesting one. I'm interested to see you
Speaker 4: guys go first again.
Speaker 16: You get.
Speaker 4: Consistency here is going to be uh uh what I'm
Speaker 4: interested in your your takes.
Speaker 8: So the cornerback position, you know, I'm going to be
Speaker 8: minus here. I'm going to be minus here. You lead
Speaker 8: the league interceptions. You know it's got to mean something.
Speaker 8: I really think that Gilmore. He hasn't Without Trayvon Diggs,
Speaker 8: He's a different player. And you saw initially the way
Speaker 8: that that that tandem, the way that they played together,
Speaker 8: it was offenses were trying to find the weakness and
Speaker 8: we didn't have any. Now with him out there by itself,
Speaker 8: they're trying to take him on those drag routes, crossing
Speaker 8: routes and expose the old man. But you know, I
Speaker 8: think dan Quinn is going to find a better scheme,
Speaker 8: uh for him. But I think his I think his
Speaker 8: influence over that group. You were just talking about somebody
Speaker 8: who who yeah, Evans, and I think the same thing
Speaker 8: is happened happening with him and just his impact and
Speaker 8: contagious to the other guys, especially for Bland. I think
Speaker 8: his biggest contribution is the way that he's building to
Speaker 8: run Bland up. And so look that's that's where I'm.
Speaker 9: With them, Okay, but dang it, Yeah, I mean yeah,
Speaker 9: I would. I would two with them and just how
Speaker 9: well they've played and how they've adjusted to, you know,
Speaker 9: not having Trayvon Digs there, Because to your point, I mean,
Speaker 9: that's like taking away a part of the like a
Speaker 9: whole side of the field and with the deep overs
Speaker 9: and stuff like that. That's how that's how teams are
Speaker 9: attacking most secondaries now. So I do expect for dan
Speaker 9: Quinn to figure out something schematically to help that out,
Speaker 9: and it helps with that.
Speaker 5: But that's what I'm saying. That's so.
Speaker 3: Yeah, have we had an update on Trayvon?
Speaker 7: What do you mean is that for the year.
Speaker 9: He was on the sidelines last week, which I thought
Speaker 9: was a big deal the first time seeing them. Yeah,
Speaker 9: I don't know if he's at his surgery yet. I
Speaker 9: don't have no idea.
Speaker 4: Usually you don't see guys. That's two players I've seen
Speaker 4: on the sideline that have what, well what you thought
Speaker 4: could be not career but season ending injuries.
Speaker 3: Was Aaron Rodgers was on the sideline two weeks.
Speaker 8: Don't even get started doing No, I've never seen anything
Speaker 8: like that. I've never seen anything like that. And I
Speaker 8: have some friends that had an achilles injury and they
Speaker 8: were like bedritten.
Speaker 4: Even if you're able to walk, Chris, they normally keep
Speaker 4: them off the sideline just in case somebody runs into
Speaker 4: him or they can't get out of the way or
Speaker 4: something like that.
Speaker 3: Don't Isn't that the reason why.
Speaker 10: The sidelines pre game. I don't know where he was
Speaker 10: during the game. I didn't see him down there.
Speaker 7: I thought he was on the sideline.
Speaker 5: He was, I seen it. He was on the sideline
Speaker 5: for a lot of the game.
Speaker 9: I was like, oh, I'm surprised by that.
Speaker 3: Let's go to offense. This is this will be interesting.
Speaker 4: Okay, this is a great one because I have no
Speaker 4: idea where you guys are going to go with cool group.
Speaker 8: You go first, I'm going D. I'm going D minus
Speaker 8: actually minus. It is why so rough?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 16: It?
Speaker 4: Is it based off of what we kind of expected
Speaker 4: and where we thought they were and what they produced.
Speaker 3: Or is it just the is it all of the above?
Speaker 8: All of this group right now I really had high
Speaker 8: hopes for and it's all is not lost. I just
Speaker 8: thought that Ferguson would be more impactful. I've seen Ferguson
Speaker 8: and just the opportunities from last season that he had.
Speaker 8: I thought that he had way more wiggle and I
Speaker 8: thought he was more sure handed than he was. And
Speaker 8: then you have Luke Schoonmaker, who you go out and
Speaker 8: get second round. You think he's going to have more
Speaker 8: of an impact. Yeah, blocker, all that is great, you know,
Speaker 8: but I think for Dak he's needed we call it
Speaker 8: a security blanket. But guy that's in his line of
Speaker 8: vision when he's rolling out or he's you know, first
Speaker 8: guy he sees is the guy in the middle of
Speaker 8: the field. We just haven't been able to take advantage
Speaker 8: of that position the way that we did with Dalton Schultz,
Speaker 8: and that's the one thing that I thought we would
Speaker 8: have the upgrade this season. I've been definitely disappointed in
Speaker 8: the tight end group.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm probably gonna go D two with them even
Speaker 9: know then what they've done in the block and game's
Speaker 9: been good. But still I'm gonna push back a little
Speaker 9: bit with what your thoughts on Furd just because I
Speaker 9: think his usage says his usage to me has been
Speaker 9: kind of weird too, and so that to me is important.
Speaker 9: But as far as the tight end group as a whole, AO,
Speaker 9: if you look in at film, defenses don't care about
Speaker 9: your tight end room right now. And that's a problem
Speaker 9: for your wide receivers. It's a problem for your run game.
Speaker 9: It's a trickle down effect that people aren't really respecting
Speaker 9: what your tight ends are doing.
Speaker 5: They don't look at.
Speaker 9: Them as reliable they seeing the same thing we see,
Speaker 9: and they see the drops, they see all this, They're like,
Speaker 9: we don't care that you rolling this guy out here.
Speaker 9: We don't believe he can make a play, and that's
Speaker 9: a problem. I've been very disappointed, and not only the
Speaker 9: usage of the tight ends and attack in the middle
Speaker 9: of the field and some of that stuff, but I
Speaker 9: also too, from the opportunities they've gotten, they've dropped the ball.
Speaker 9: They haven't been reliable, and that's that's something I was
Speaker 9: not expecting going into to this season. I think he
Speaker 9: I think Dak has what three or four drop tds
Speaker 9: from the tight ends at this point, So I'm I
Speaker 9: need them to step it up because if they're If
Speaker 9: they don't, defenses are gonna still be playing your your
Speaker 9: off It makes it so much easier for people to
Speaker 9: defend your your receivers when your tight ends aren't doing
Speaker 9: anything that they care about.
Speaker 5: So I will give them a.
Speaker 3: D okay uh running.
Speaker 9: Back yeah uh again for me, it's shoot, I would
Speaker 9: give them a see, I'll give them a C C
Speaker 9: minus at that. Like for me, I don't. The usage
Speaker 9: has been weird there too, I mean, and we talked
Speaker 9: about the offensive line, so it's again, it's a machine,
Speaker 9: so we got to keep that in mind. The offensive
Speaker 9: line hasn't been cohesive all the way. But for me,
Speaker 9: it's just the usage of the running backs and then
Speaker 9: the fact that I mean, where's Rico Daddle. I mean
Speaker 9: we're using you're using TP and he's taking the bulk
Speaker 9: of the touches. But the times that we have seen
Speaker 9: them kind of collectively use the different running back even
Speaker 9: like in the Jets game where you got screens, you
Speaker 9: got things to the outside, they're pulling and pinning like
Speaker 9: that to me, to me is using them in different ways.
Speaker 9: I think that their running back room should be based
Speaker 9: off matchup.
Speaker 5: What is the matchup call for? How does does this?
Speaker 5: Does this team struggle with you attacking the edge?
Speaker 9: Okay, then I want to see some more Tonian banging
Speaker 9: on the outside of the edge.
Speaker 5: I want to see some deuce.
Speaker 9: But at this point, it's like I think they're trying
Speaker 9: to figure out who's going to be used for what
Speaker 9: and when and whatever, And that's a problem for me.
Speaker 8: That's a great point, But I shure I'm going f
Speaker 8: I'm going to ask that's fair.
Speaker 9: I mean, if you feel that way.
Speaker 5: I get you.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm going I'm going that in that room.
Speaker 8: And the thing is, look, Tony Pollard has always been
Speaker 8: a change of pace back to me, and I think
Speaker 8: that's how he made these bones in the In the NFL,
Speaker 8: I thought it was a mistake going with Pollard as
Speaker 8: the one a running back when they let go Zeke,
Speaker 8: I thought that would bring in someone else.
Speaker 7: And I just look Rico Dalo.
Speaker 8: I've seen him, and I don't know if he's one
Speaker 8: of those guys that you classify as a run trick
Speaker 8: one trick pony. He's just a straight ahead kind of guy.
Speaker 8: I haven't seen any any wiggle from Rico yet. Now,
Speaker 8: I don't know if it's not that we just the
Speaker 8: The other part about Tony Poller to me is i've
Speaker 8: he came into the league as a running back that
Speaker 8: is a better receiver. Have we used him to his
Speaker 8: best ability as a receiver as well? So look, he's
Speaker 8: running his change of pace running style that I have
Speaker 8: become accustomed to seeing. It's changed because he hadn't had
Speaker 8: that guy that's been pounding the rock in between tackles
Speaker 8: and then boom in comes Tony. He's he's capturing the
Speaker 8: edges he's getting those big play yards. Just hadn't seen it,
Speaker 8: and so I've been disappointed. That's another group that I'm
Speaker 8: solely disappointed in.
Speaker 5: The usage's weird to me. It's been way to me.
Speaker 3: Took two more.
Speaker 7: Let's do it. Wide receiver, wide receiver. I'm gonna go.
Speaker 8: You know what I'm gonna I'm gonna go see in
Speaker 8: the wide receiver Okay, yeah, see you in the wide
Speaker 8: receiver room. Look, I wanted to see more from Brandon Cooks.
Speaker 8: We brought him in and everybody talks sel Cliche would
Speaker 8: take the top off and all this. Man, I just
Speaker 8: need him to be a playmaker. I need more playmakers,
Speaker 8: that's it. And we haven't had playmakers and guys that
Speaker 8: could take five yard eight, go eighty. We hadn't had
Speaker 8: those guys that are beaten double coverage. Ceedee lamb has
Speaker 8: He's gotten the double coverage and you've expected for other
Speaker 8: guys to do it. And I guess the grade that
Speaker 8: I'm giving him is based off of Michael Galla's production
Speaker 8: as well. So that's another wide receiver that I'm I
Speaker 8: want more from him, and so that's that's my grade.
Speaker 9: I'm gonna check on what he's saying, and we're gonna
Speaker 9: go with the same grade. And also too, I also
Speaker 9: want to see more Cavante Turpin too. Some of this
Speaker 9: stuff it's just the inconsistency from the usage and the
Speaker 9: way that these guys are making plays. But I also
Speaker 9: feel like, too, to your point, Michael Gallup, like I've
Speaker 9: been disappointed in his production, I've been disappointed in Brandon
Speaker 9: Cook's production.
Speaker 5: But a lot of this too, is just delay that
Speaker 5: things are.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have to say, all right, yeah, so y'all
Speaker 4: are pretty aligned so far, little discrepancy, but for the
Speaker 4: most part, all on the same page. Here's here's the
Speaker 4: to end the show, Dak Prescott, where you at on him?
Speaker 3: Heckma this year?
Speaker 7: Are you gonna make me go first?
Speaker 5: You want to go first?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that I am.
Speaker 8: Now, I'm gonna you know what I go, and I'm
Speaker 8: gonna go be minus. I'm gonna go be minus with
Speaker 8: with Dak. I think this Him and Mike McCarthy are
Speaker 8: tied at the hip on this offense and they're trying
Speaker 8: to figure some things out that help him. And one
Speaker 8: hundred and seventy five passes and one hundred and twenty
Speaker 8: five of them are when he's had he hadn't had
Speaker 8: any motion, any play action or anything, and I think
Speaker 8: that limits him as a quarterback. Defenses are not fooled
Speaker 8: by that, and then they want for Dak to be
Speaker 8: to think ham.
Speaker 7: Ship back and just throw the ball.
Speaker 8: So I'm sure that that's something strategically that Mike McCarthy
Speaker 8: is going with that They're gonna have to add more
Speaker 8: motion to this offense to benefit what Dak is doing it,
Speaker 8: especially now that Dak has is showing I will run
Speaker 8: the ball on you, so that bringing that aspect of
Speaker 8: the offense together. And I think the running game that
Speaker 8: I rated as a C is going to help him
Speaker 8: if it gets to a B RNA. When you get
Speaker 8: Tony polar Rico dall On, those guys running downhill, getting
Speaker 8: those hundred and fifty, you know, almost two hundred yard games,
Speaker 8: I think the passing game becomes that much more easy.
Speaker 8: So I'm going to be with him, be minus yeah,
Speaker 8: be minus yeah.
Speaker 3: What about you?
Speaker 16: I go?
Speaker 9: I would go be minus all things considered in them
Speaker 9: trying to figure out this offense. And I'm so glad
Speaker 9: that you mentioned the lack of motion and stuff. My homeboy,
Speaker 9: Skottwalker still says. It's a lack of conflict right now,
Speaker 9: and that's that's a big deal, is you. They're playing
Speaker 9: a lot of teams straight up on the offense right now,
Speaker 9: and it's like, Yo, nobody does that anymore. There's not
Speaker 9: that many teams who couldn't do that. You, not a
Speaker 9: Philly can do that. They can just play you straight
Speaker 9: up because they can win a line of scrimmage. For me,
Speaker 9: to your point, him sprinkling in running the ball this
Speaker 9: pass last week is I think a good healthy start
Speaker 9: to be moving in that direction. To put that on
Speaker 9: film and get some respect for these defenses because they're
Speaker 9: pressing you because they don't care.
Speaker 7: I would I.
Speaker 8: Would quote something that a homeboy said, but that would
Speaker 8: end the show. No, No, I'm not gonna off air.
Speaker 3: Li there without that worthy end anyway.
Speaker 7: So man, this was fun. Man, I appreciate it.
