Walker Cowboys 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.520 back on the practice field yesterday. They are into a 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:48.160 walk through phase today and then it's travel day. Oh no, 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.000 it's not a home a home game. 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.240 Send me away. Sorry, I'm not trying to trying to 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:54.000 get your feels good. 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:55.120 Want to come home? 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:55.560 At five. 0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.880 We have the home opener for the Cowboys. There not 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.560 traveling this week. Kind of light on news and notes. 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:05.160 They did return to the practice field on yesterday. Practice 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.240 report remained unchanged with the exception of one year Thomas. 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.200 He mispracticed yesterday, but it was non injury related. It 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.320 was a personal reason. We'll see if he returns today, 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.960 which kind of segues to Brian Schottenheimer and his interview 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:18.400 with one O. 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:19.679 Five to three the Fan this morning. 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.200 Interesting point that he made when he was asked about 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.600 the absence of Dran Bland. How are the Cowboys looking 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:26.520 to attack that? We already know, We talked about it 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.200 yesterday and you guys know because you were watching Talking 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:34.200 Cowboys yesterday. Absolutely ready Stewart and likely Zion Childress from 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.320 the practice squad are going to be your amb solutions there. 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:41.000 But as far as your c solution, the only see 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:46.360 I'll allow but talking to alphabets is Brian Schotenheimer said 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:48.279 that the Cowboys will He didn't say expected to. 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.240 He didn't say likely, you know, planned to. 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:52.920 He said they will use some safeties to assist them 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:56.080 in nickel corner coverage. We know that one year Thomas 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:58.880 took some reps at nickel corner throughout the off season 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:00.559 programs Ota mini camps. 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:02.480 I'm in training camp Marquise Bell as well. 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.680 We know Marquis Bell has flexibility from the time that 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.520 he was moving a linebacker to help with dan Quinn. 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.719 So it'll be interesting to see, especially if they do 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:13.840 keep to now what we think they'll do, which is 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.600 primarily zone coverage and the absence of Bland. I don't 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:20.360 see them switching up to man without Bland in the lineup, 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.960 So zone coverage with a little mix of one Gay 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:27.320 Marquise Bell behind Ready Stewart and possibly Zion Childress. So 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:29.520 that was an interesting tidbit from a shoddy on the fan. 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.560 This was awesome and exactly kind of what we had 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.080 been looking at the last couple of days. But it's man, 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:36.120 that's a big unknown. 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.560 It's a big unknown. Let's hope Ready is ready. And 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:42.080 not to be punny, I genuinely mean that we haven't 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:45.320 seen a lot from Ready Stewart, especially on the practice field. 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.160 I don't think the media has even gotten a good 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:51.279 look at Ready Stewart so far. But we know Zion Childress, 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:52.920 we've seen it competitive. 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:54.640 We hope Ready is ready and that he's a good 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:57.000 steward steady. 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:57.640 Is he steady? 0:05:57.640 --> 0:05:57.839 Though? 0:05:58.480 --> 0:05:59.200 Is Ready steady? 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:04.960 Read? I almost I am excited to see one yea 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:07.920 Marquis Bell because I feel as if we haven't really 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:09.120 seen those guys much lately. 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.039 Right it's because of you know, Cooker, and. 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:12.719 I get it, I get it, but you know, we 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:16.640 have become accustomed to one Yea Thomas and Marquis Bell contributions, 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:19.880 and those guys were good, were great contribute not even 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:23.239 just good, great contributor contributor to the defense in years past. 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:25.440 So I'm actually excited. 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.360 To see them get some more opportunities because they both 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:31.960 bring a physicality and an intensity from from their history, 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.200 right They they both bring that to that element to 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:35.760 the game, and I think that'll be good to see. 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:39.880 It's talking about being ready, being being steady. The safety 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.839 group has always been that. Yes, they've been consistent for 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:45.320 their how many years is this now three years that 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:49.320 the safety group is unchanged? I mean, and you can 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:50.120 always expect that. 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:56.479 If you remember the pre dan Quinn era and safety, 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.960 so the fact is talking about that the safety position 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:04.520 in Dallas has been so stable and solid for multiple seasons. 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:04.760 Now. 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:07.479 I just remember shouts out to Jeff Heath the goat. 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.240 He held it down when he could, He tried his best. 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:12.400 They gave it their all. 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:16.840 Just all the automnipias. Yeah, all of those, all. 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:19.880 All the way back to the very church days BC. 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.400 Go see shout out out the Church. 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:25.400 It is kind of interesting. I think it was on 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.400 this show or on this platform that we were having 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:31.160 the conversation in training camp of when can we expect 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:34.040 to drop off from the safety position? When can that 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.160 group of that that four guys, when is that going 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:40.440 to change? I don't think we've seen it yet. Going 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:42.440 into it, A lot of fans out there maybe were 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:45.560 skeptical of it. I know I was skeptical of of 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:49.200 little things within the group. But I have no problem 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:51.080 with the safety position right now. I think they've they've 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:54.440 played steady, they've been consistent. Is it over the top? 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.800 Is it Kyle Hamilton with the Baltimore Ravens. No, it's not. 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.239 It's but it's exactly what you need out of that position, 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:03.840 and with the revolving door that they currently have at cornerback, 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:05.440 it's a big plus for that team. 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:08.000 Not to mention their third coordinator in three years and 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:09.160 those guys are still together. 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:11.080 Correct, Yeah, good point. 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.920 That Steady does make me wonder what, uh, Well, m 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:16.160 cuomo's gone now, so. 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:16.880 I'm gonna move on. 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:17.360 He's gone. 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:20.080 Often it would have been nice to have him in 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:24.800 this particular situation, specifically he just cal practice squad care. Yeah, yeah, 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.560 just as like as a corner as a nickel option, 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:30.840 as a fair I feel like if they would have 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:35.640 had this scenario in mind, they may have signed it, 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.000 but they may have had a scenario and there's no 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.880 way to yeah, to expect John Bland to be out 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:41.440 by week two. 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:43.560 You know, that's that's a tough thing. 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:45.199 That's that's to be fair. But I'm just saying it 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:47.320 would be nice, would be nice. But it'll be fun 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:49.360 to see what what Bill and Thomas can do. And 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:51.080 we know the versatility of one year Thomas and we 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:54.400 talked about the versatility Bill. Two young safeties who I 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:56.199 would love to see get on the field. However they 0:08:56.200 --> 0:09:01.120 can on defense. Hitters, Yeah, hitters, hitters, hitters, one rting coverage. 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.120 Which is something that I feel as if the defense 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:04.160 was missing last week. 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:06.680 If I'm being honest. 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:10.400 There seemed to be hesitation to pull the trigger last week, 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:12.280 and I didn't like that. 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:13.200 I didn't like that. 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:16.960 I felt like as well as the defense played, I 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:20.280 feel as if at the linebacker position there was hesitation, 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.160 especially more so from Sanborn. 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:24.400 I also feel like Malie. 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.920 Hooker was a little bit tentative to put a trigger. 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.160 I think Donovan Wilson kind of worked his way into it. 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.600 There's a come towards the second half, he started shooting 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.360 his gun like you expect Donald to do. But I 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:37.160 overall that's why I said I look forward to Marquise 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.520 Bill and oney A Thomas because they don't hesitate. 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:41.800 They shoot. They see it and they shoot. 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:43.720 And speaking of the linebackers, real quick, I know you've 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:48.559 been throughout the week, You've been a little critical Sanborn. Understandably, 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.920 he didn't have a great showing like and he's on 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:53.199 the field because he knows Matty Reflus for sure scheme 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:54.920 the most given a chance, for sure. What did you 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:56.040 see from Kenneth Murray. 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:59.160 I'm curious, Kenneth Murray. From what I saw, he looked 0:09:59.200 --> 0:09:59.960 like he was okay. 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.280 He looked there was nothing seeming serviceable. 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:03.199 He looks serviceable. 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:05.680 There were some there were some bad reps for sure. 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:09.520 For sure first serviceable. You know, I was not impressed 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:10.280 by that unit. 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:13.040 I thought Philadelphia did a good job of scheming up 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.679 the linebackers to put them in a tough position. 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:17.520 Put them out of position in many circumscs. 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.280 I thought they did a good job of attacking the linebackers, 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.199 especially with the crossers and the short. 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:28.640 And you know who athleticism to be able to those things. 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:34.200 Overall that well, stop its changed throughout the hitting. 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.120 I mean to that point, we bring up le File 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:41.040 and we'll say we will segue right to Iberflus's press 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:45.280 conference on yesterday. He was asked specifically about the reasoning 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.280 for Leophile having only six defensive snaps, which he kind 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:51.480 of side stepped four quickly, but then he did say 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:55.679 definitively that quote unquote Leophile has earned the reps as 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.520 early as this week, So we'll see what that equates 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:01.000 to as far as the number of reps he finishes 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.480 this game against the Giants with. But I do expect 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:06.360 a sizeable uptick in reps for le File basically. 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:08.240 Call it what it is. 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:13.200 There's a seniority in the NFL. In the NFL, there's 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:17.400 politics in every every industry. NFL is no different. There's 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:20.520 a if you come over right via trade and you 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:24.000 come over with your coach, there's going you're gonna be 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:25.440 given the opportunity to fail. 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:27.240 There's a level of comfort there. There's a level of 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:30.840 comfort and seniority. Your job, like trust, it is your 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:31.560 job to lose. 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:33.679 So you're gonna have to see it a couple of 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:37.360 times before you're like not getting the job done. 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:39.400 All right, young fella, get in there right. 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:42.400 So those guys, that's where that's when that whole analogy 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:44.440 of you know, say stay ready so you don't have 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:46.960 to get ready. That's when that comes into play because 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.520 you have to be ready when the opportunity presents itself 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:51.480 to be able to go and take full advantage of 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.840 what's presented to you. But overall, that's why I said 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:57.079 that that second level, there was a lot of hesitation 0:11:57.400 --> 0:11:59.040 for my liking I did I didn't. 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:00.600 I didn't I didn't protect clearly like it. 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.120 I wish I would like to see more aggressive group, 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:06.839 which we've heard that's that should be the expectation from 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:07.280 the linebacker. 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:08.800 Confidence there. 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:11.960 I think it was just lack of decisiveness. Like like 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.760 I think everybody was so concerned about being right. I 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.199 think everybody's just so concerned about being right. You can't 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:20.480 play fast like that, right, So, like if you're so 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:23.920 concerned about having the right guy, or so concerned about 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.360 having the right gap, integrity or all those things, that 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.360 you can't just play free. It's completely opposite of what 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:30.800 we've heard from this defensive staff. 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.800 You're stuck in like the decision of you're the pause of. 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.640 That make half second hesitation. You're out of position that 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:39.600 half second hesitation. Now that gap is now closed, that 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.320 half second hesitation. Now that lineman is up on me 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:44.120 instead of instead of me being able to actually get 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:44.720 to one shoulder. 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:47.000 Right, So you can't hesitate to play ahead. 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:48.560 You have to I mean you're at the five, You're 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:50.960 five yards away from the action now, and then you 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:53.320 have to go downhill now, right, Either you got to scan, 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:55.040 you got to be able to get your get your reads. 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:56.960 It's a lot happening that they have to be able 0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:00.240 to digest in a very short period of time. But 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:03.640 that's why the best linebackers are distinctive and they're decisive. 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:05.600 Yeah, and I think that'll get better as the year 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:09.480 goes on in a scheme that's new, because well, Jack 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:12.120 Sanborne has played with Matti Reflus, Kenneth Murray has not, 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:15.800 and Mary's Leafol has not. And while you still have 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.840 the read and reactability for Marus Leafel, you're still going 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:22.000 to see a step forward in the progression of the 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:23.680 scheme as the year goes on. 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.120 Well, I was just gonna say, in terms of playing 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.280 in the moment, a guy that does that really well 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:31.560 was an act of last week. His name is Shamar James. 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:35.120 Ry myself, which is why that's why he's my player 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:36.040 to watch this year. 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:38.240 You want hitters, and that is that's why he's my 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:40.040 player to watch it. I think he gets his chance 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:41.600 later on into year exactly. 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:43.440 I think you see guys like Shamar James. I think 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:46.400 you guys like Marrius Leafoul, as they grow into the system, 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:47.520 they will play. 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:50.000 That's just the only thing I disagree with Shamal being 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:52.360 your guy was time. I don't know that he will 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:54.880 have enough time on the field to take the title 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.240 of you know, Rookie of the Year for the Dallas Cowboys. 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.080 It's kind of what I'm saying, But when once he 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:02.720 gets on the field, Yeah, he's gonna rattle seatball hill Lows. 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:04.720 Is that not the same conversation that we had about 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:08.280 Jaden Blue though early. It's a position that has some 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:11.920 question marks, but talent, some veteran talent, some young talent. 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:12.959 I think that's a fair comparison. 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:14.880 And then and then you turn around and he's not 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:18.520 active after a solid camp with some ups and downs. 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:21.520 Why is he not active? I mean, both fifth round picks, 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.280 they have time to develop. I'm not saying the end 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:27.040 of their career is upon them, but why were they 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:29.160 not active in Week one? There's got to be something 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:30.560 for for that or to that. 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:33.680 It's a fair comparison, But I'll put them both on 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:37.640 the same highway, right, But they're wildly different lanes because 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.400 if you look at what's happening with the linebacker corps, 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:42.640 you have a lot of bodies that have to be 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:46.600 sorted through. It's true you have Vega, Kenneth Murray, he's 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.240 a veteran. Those guys, it's you, it's your position to lose. 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.400 De Mont Clark. He was on fire in training camp 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:54.320 in preseason. They want to get him out there. Mayr 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:55.960 s lea foul. Now you have to figure out how 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.040 to get him out there. Nothing to figure out for me. 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:00.200 Just put him out there, Shamar James. So when you 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.480 start talking, they're playing a lot of two linebackers exactly. 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:04.920 So when you start talking about that, the number of bodies, 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:09.360 the scheme primarily a dual linebacker versus the running backs 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:13.200 room where you have Javante as your definitive RB. One, 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.360 Turpin is your definitive kind of switch up guy, and 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:17.880 the rest is like But. 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:20.440 But you look at like snapshare because of course you 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:22.840 can only utilize really one running back at a time 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:25.840 most of the time, whereas linebackers are playing two or 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:28.800 three guys, and then you have a rotation outside of that. 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:35.240 I think if both guys were active two sets, maybe, 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.160 But when you look at the snap share and the 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:41.400 rotation between the linebackers, I would say if Blue and 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:45.200 Shamar James were were both active at the same time, 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.400 I bet you they'd get right around the same amount 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:48.640 of snapshare between their. 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:53.320 I think that's fair because I think that Blue is 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:55.960 it's still earning his as far as. 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.000 The concent how many touches with Jaden blue Gett. 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:01.520 I don't know that Shamar James is having a consistency issue. 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:06.080 Jamar James has a veteran in front of him issue. 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:10.440 Several Yeah, because Murray and Samborn, you're only taking one 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:13.160 of them off the field at a time. If one 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:14.840 of those guys come off, comes off the field, that 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:17.160 de Moon Clark goes in, that's that's that's that's how 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:17.520 that is. 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:19.040 It's a three person rotation. 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:23.360 So if you have four or five six linebackers, those 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:25.800 guys aren't They're not touching the field. It's just not happening, 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:27.640 right because you're you're only pulling off one of those 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:32.400 veteran linebackers at a time. So that in itself is 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:34.960 not gonna it's not gonna give these guys opportunities to play. 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:38.120 But I think that you have a really really good 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:42.640 nucleus of young linebackers and Mary's lea foul, Shamar James 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:46.920 and Demo when he comes back. Those are three guys 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:51.960 that are instinctive, fast, decisive, physical players. 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:54.840 Now that that's your that's your young nucleus that you have. 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:57.440 And you're just excited about them. You want to see 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.000 him on the field. If you're looking at the comparison 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:02.120 of last week, being like that's the sample size you 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:04.680 have of the current linebacker corps, it needs to be 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:06.159 you need to be a little more athletic. You need 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:09.000 to be able to get to the quarterback. And I 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:11.400 don't think you had that necessarily last week. But then again, 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:13.000 and you know, just got to let them cook base 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:13.399 they have. 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:16.560 They have the bodies of linebackers rightbout Murray and Sam. 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:19.400 They look like they look like linebackers that you would drove. 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:21.160 Look like traditional line for sure. 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:25.080 Yeah, but we've seen like it's a it's a It 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:30.480 is a very vast difference between there and the young 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:32.480 guys that we're talking about in terms of their. 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:36.080 Speed and athleticism. Now, do they have the wisdom. 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:36.359 I don't know. 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:37.959 I'm not in the meeting rooms. I don't know. 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:39.000 I don't know where they're at. 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:39.320 Mentally. 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:40.240 They're getting the rep what. 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:43.080 They have is the experience that that we know, But. 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:45.720 Do they have the athleticism to take on more quarterbacks 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:47.600 like Jalen Here, you're gonna play Jalen Hurts again. You're 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:50.560 gonna play a lot of these dual threat Jayden Daniel. 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:54.240
