He kind of he's a shutdown, but. 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:06.480 Many kind of did. Said he was going to go 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:08.359 for one seven for sixty nine. 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:09.040 I'll take that. 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:09.720 I'll take that all. 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:11.440 Don't you said he was going to go for one seventy? 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:13.000 You got them against the ropes. 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:14.760 You didn't give us a chance, that's all right. 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:17.520 How many first he had at least two touchdowns? 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:22.720 Yeah, Cooper was throwing bombs out there. Really, but he's 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:23.320 doing all right. 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:25.760 He threw for one away passer rating. 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.280 I'll take his first half was impressive, man. 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:29.160 It was really good for now. 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:30.520 They played a good game. 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:30.760 Man. 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:33.799 I thought that was the best called game by Mike. Yes, 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.680 I mean by Mike McCarthy, hands down, Mike McCarthy. 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:39.760 First half for sure, especially when you couldn't get the 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:41.000 run game going at all. 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:43.040 Yeah, they were good in the run game. 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:47.000 We're not doing the dance today, baby, no shot shot. 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.359 Yeah, those do deserve a lot of credit for last night. 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:56.720 I think when you look at this win in its totality, 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.560 of course, it's what it does at the end of 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.240 the day. And I know there are a lot of 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.360 fans out there that are clamoring because I see you 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.920 in my mentions for the Draft show. There's a playoff 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:10.640 scenario no longer for the Cowboys. Washington eliminates that with 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:14.280 their win over the Philadelphia Eagles earlier in the day. Yes, 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:17.200 this win took you from pick number eleven to pick 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:20.240 number fifteen. That's where you're at in terms of the win. 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:21.560 If you would have lost, you would have been at 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:23.560 eleven right now. If you win, you're at fifteen. 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:24.440 Who cares. 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:30.440 I thought that was the most impressive win, in my opinion, 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:32.120 the most oppressive. 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:34.560 Win that the Cowboys have had all year long, because you. 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:38.040 Just got eliminated from playoff contention, and you went out 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:39.760 there and you said I'm gonna go hit somebody. 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:40.720 Yeah, and they did. 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:45.760 Over and over and over again, to the point where, Yeah, 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:48.640 Tampa Bay, who was leading their division coming in, who 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:50.240 had a four game winning streak, came in. 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:52.600 You beat their ass in the first half. 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:56.760 You really did. You kicked their ass in the first half. 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:01.360 Now Tampa Bay got back after it. They we're gonna 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:02.280 scored three point. 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:04.960 Two times. 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:06.800 Yeah, you two dollars this guy. 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:11.200 But that's where I'm impressed is even when they made 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:13.400 their charge to you made the plays necessary to get 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:13.680 it done. 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.880 Yeah, and you when you think about the playoff whole scenario. 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.240 These guys had about what three hours to marinate on 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:22.240 that before kickoff said something where you can just be 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:25.360 like man and you can come in dejected. But I'll 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:29.719 say this, these players play hard for Mike McCarthy. I 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.680 don't know what's gonna happen, yep, I don't know where 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.520 this franchise is has to go from here, but after 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:39.680 last night, I'm leaning towards Mike McCarthy's your head coach 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.360 in twenty twenty five, just because you look at how 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.840 these players respond and want to come to bat for him. 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:47.920 I think that's incredibly impressive and that speaks a lot 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:50.040 to what he can do as your head coach. 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.320 Now, granted, you have to do a lot. 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.240 More than get your guys to go for you, right, 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:55.920 You have to do a lot more as a head 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:57.680 coach to have that success. 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.480 But you know, these guys rally around my McCarthy. 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:03.720 They give him everything they've got every snap, even when 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.120 you could say there's nothing to play for. Obviously there's 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:07.640 still certain things that you want to play for. A 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.800 lot of guys are on contract years. But that was 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:12.640 the most telling part to me last night, is these 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:14.640 guys going to bat for Mike McCarthy. 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.719 I tend to agree. But you still have two games. 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.719 You still have some time for things to go sour. 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:24.640 You really do for these players to quit, but obviously 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:25.240 it's not. 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:28.000 It doesn't look like that's going to happen. You saw 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:28.600 last night. 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:31.520 You saw a team that was rallying behind a purpose, 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.000 and that purpose was to go out there and hit 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:38.480 some muddy. An impressive, impressive feat by the defense to 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.480 hold Baker Mayfield to what they held him to, and 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.599 not only that, but to just out physical the Tampa 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:48.000 Bay Buccaneers. You saw that time and time and time again, 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:51.960 even though you were mismatched all across the board. Bucky Irving, 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:55.359 I don't know why they don't keep running the ball 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:58.320 with him. That was really surprising to me that they 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:01.200 leaned away from thee for a while there. 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:02.960 And teams do that against Dallas. 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.880 I don't I don't understand it because we weren't stopping 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:07.839 Bucky ever him by any means. I mean, that was 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:13.640 rough to see he was not getting tackled. However, Dallas galvanised, 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:17.240 rallied behind each other, and it was really impressive. Like 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.680 you said, Kyle, one of the best performances by the 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.159 defense this year, and the first half from the offense 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:22.520 as well. 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:26.000 You got, you got production in all three phases of 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:26.360 the game. 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:30.120 I think you got some some surprise play by players 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:32.080 that you didn't expect you got. 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:33.840 Nick Vigil had a heck of a game. 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:36.800 I went Eric Hendris being out man. 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:38.760 He really he stepped up in a major way he 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:39.400 talked about. 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:46.520 But Nick Vigil, mister don't practice, showed up and acted 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:47.480 like he practiced. 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:47.600 All week long. 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:51.799 Never let him practice practice practice, So that was surprising 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.800 to me. Cooper Rush, his play was surprising to me. 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:57.440 I think he made some some solid throws or some throws. 0:06:57.520 --> 0:06:59.200 I think he definitely could have had that were better, 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.599 but overall he made the throws that were necessary. 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:03.760 But these guys in position. 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:08.880 You talk about this defense, the complimentary aspect of this game, 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.360 where the offense gets up, gets up a head by 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.640 two scores and then the defense can do whatever the 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:14.440 heck they want to do. 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:16.360 That was major. Yeah, that was major. 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:19.640 Talk about Mike Evans and ineffectiveness of Mike Evans in 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.520 comparison to what he's done in the past. 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.240 This Baker Mayfield could not sit back there and throw 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.560 the ball. There were there were times where you're like, 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:27.640 dangn we need more pressure. 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.320 But then once you got towards that second half, it 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.200 was like Bro's he's running for his life. 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:36.080 He was like, he's just running away. It just just 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:37.120 felt like that the whole time. 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.120 His hair was on fire, and these guys were It 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:40.760 didn't matter where the pressure was coming from. 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:42.400 And I just I just love the fact that these. 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:46.000 Guys are running around and hidding, playing fast, having fun, and. 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:49.200 To your point, he's getting pressured. And it wasn't just Micah. 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.880 That wasn't just Micah. You have guys like Chauncey Golston, 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.560 you have guys like Carl Lawson that are giving the 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:55.840 Tampa bay Bucks. 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:57.800 Problems all game long. 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:00.640 Impressive to see, man like, who would have thunk at 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:03.200 this point in the season. You're gonna be excited to 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.920 see a Karl Lawson and excited to see a Chauncey 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:07.320 Golston play their hearts out. 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:07.880 Man like that? 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:12.200 Just wow, We asked Chauncy. Yeah, we asked Chauncy. After 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:15.080 the game, he joined us on Cowboys Game Night, but. 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:18.280 On Dallas Cowboys dot Com on Dallas Cowys and watch it. 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:20.600 I'll clip it, but you can go back to watch 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:21.040 the whole thing. 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.800 Watch the whole thing. So Chauncey, I asked him. I 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:26.360 was like, is this have y'all shown now? You've got 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.960 twenty eight sacks since Week ten, twenty eight that's by 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:33.920 far most in the NFL? Is this the deepest offensive 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:37.160 line or I mean defensive line in football? Showing the 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.440 depth because you don't have DeMarcus Lawrence, you don't have 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:42.800 Sam Williams, you don't have Marshawn neland for much of 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:46.200 that time as well, where where does. 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:47.839 This defense rank in terms of depth? 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:51.880 And he said it's the best defense, defensive line in 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:55.200 perseverance He's like, it's the most persevering defensive line. I 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:57.520 thought that was a perfect word for it, because yeah, 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:00.959 it's Karl Lawson, yeah it's Chauncey Gulston. But these guys 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.240 have been given the opportunity and their vets in the league. 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:06.120 Carl Lawson, though he's only been in Dallas for a year, 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:07.800 has been around for a couple of years. 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:09.920 Johncey Golston has been here since twenty twenty one. 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:12.000 He was a third round pick, kind of bounced back 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.400 and forth with the last regime inside outside, but now 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:16.960 he's got some versatility to rush the passer from the 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:18.880 interior and then work back outside as well. 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:22.360 So yeah, I really enjoyed what I saw from. 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:24.280 The defensive line again, and I thought that was a 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.720 perfect word persevering defensive line from Chohncey Golsten. 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:31.440 Carl loss has had a rep yesterday where he put 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:35.480 Tristan Wirfs on his behind. Dude, did not That's an 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:37.280 all pro left tackle, one of the best in the 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:43.120 football and he was on his behind in half a second, demolished, Like, I. 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:45.200 Like went back in my share. 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:48.440 I was like, WHOA, you just don't you just don't 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:51.319 see that often, but you know, Carl Lawson's built like 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.679 a Tonka truck, so it doesn't necessarily surprise me. He 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:56.960 talked about the last time you want to see an alley, 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:58.200 but I mean that was he. 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:00.320 I think his play this. 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:04.120 Year has been so so impressive, and it's been huge 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.360 for this Dallas pass rush, and you know it goes 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.520 under the radar with guys like Micah having big days 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:11.480 and guys like you know, Chauncey Golston, like you mentioned 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:12.640 Osa having big days. 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:14.680 He's been phenomenal this season. 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:17.240 I mean, talk about a guy in Carl Lawson that 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.520 was signing the preseason and had to be signed back 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:23.200 to the practice squad. I think it was he cut 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:27.600 and then signing the practice squad. Goodness, what an what 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:31.840 a turnaround for that. Persevering, Yeah, Persevering would say, interesting word, 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:34.160 good job, Johncey, you love to see it. 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:39.520 I put together a list, just a couple names, and 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:42.480 by a couple, that's that's tongue in cheek. These are 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:46.120 the Cowboys that have missed at least two games, not 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:50.040 just this year, but while the Cowboys have won four 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:53.720 of five games so since Week twelve. Okay, okay, these 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:55.520 are the guys that have missed at least two games, 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:59.760 Dak Prescott, Jake Ferguson, John Stevens Junior. I'm going all 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:01.439 the way back, by the way, guys that would have 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:05.680 made an impact, John Stevens Junior, Zach Martin, Awesome, Richards, 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:10.120 DeMarcus Lawrence, Sam Williams, Marvin Overshown, Trayvon Diggs, Cayln Carson, 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.959 Josh Butler, amani O Wawaria, and Marquise Bell. 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:15.319 And yet there's still. 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:18.080 Four and one over the last five weeks without all 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.400 of those names. For at least two games out of 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:23.920 that stretch, they've scored twenty seven points per game, they've 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.439 allowed only twenty two points per game, and they're plus 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:31.000 eight in the turnover margin. If there's any reason, any 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:35.400 reason to have credit to Mike McCarthy, to this coaching staff, 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.320 to everyone that's in that locker room that puts on 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:41.400 a jersey as well, that's the reason four and one. 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.440 I don't care if you're playing the local high. 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.960 School teams that just want a state championship. Congratulations to 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:49.160 North Crowley out of Fort Worth, ID. Bet by the way, 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:52.240 Baby gunterro isd Salina. I don't care if you're playing 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.200 them as the Dallas Cowbell does. 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:55.400 That's impressive. 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:59.920 And I think they they've played for Mike McCarthy, they 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:03.280 played for this coaching staff, and you've shown that over these. 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:04.320 Last five weeks. 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:06.480 You're you're doing your job that right. 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:07.880 And Chauncey said it last night. 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:11.400 Guys like me, we're playing for, playing for the next opportunity, 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:12.960 whether it's here or whether it's somewhere else. 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:15.959 I feel like we've somebody somebody said that at the time. 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:22.720 Boys. He literally said the exact phrase that Isaiah. 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:24.800 I think has hit on this show four hundred times. 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:26.760 You're playing for the name on the back of your jersey. 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:29.520 You're playing for your next contract, whether it's here or elsewhere. 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.160 I looked at Isaiah, and Isaiah's just like. 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:34.199 All right, sounds good. 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:36.880 So you're talking from a guy that might know a 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:38.080 thing or two about a thing, a. 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:42.520 Former player, it's all who's playing on contract every year? Yeah, No, 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.199 I mean that's the reality these guys are. They're having fun. Yeah, 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:47.560 football is fun right now for the Dallas Cowboys. I mean, 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:49.800 obviously the postseason is out is out the window, but. 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:51.800 But it's no pressure at this point, No pressure, and 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:52.040 then we. 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:53.400 Said that on the pregame show yesterday. 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:55.480 It's like, Okay, now you get to play grinch money 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:57.520 your last three games, you get to play grinch. You 0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.480 went out there, you just stole Christmas from the Tampa 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:00.000 Bay Buccaneers. 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.840 It exactly sucks for them. Yeah, they're pissed. They are 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:03.679 not happy. Right. 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.200 The Atlanta Falcons won and they lost. Right, that's a 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:08.320 bad combination for them in the position that they're in. 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.319 They have one more win than you do right now, 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:12.760 and you're out the playoffs, so that lets you know 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:13.600 where they're at. 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:16.080 And then you get to can play the Eagles home. Man. 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:18.560 You you want to talk about disrupting some stuff. 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:21.600 Yeah, the last two teams that you play like, they're 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:23.120 literally jocking for the same position. 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:26.080 Yeah, go take that from both of them. Take that. 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:28.640 Take that. Okay from both so. 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:33.200 It's too early, but go take that from both of them. 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:35.880 You get to be that guy, and then you then 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:36.319 you go on. 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:37.000 About your offseason. 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.040 Yeah, but you have two games left to go out 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:41.080 there and be the disruptors of the NFL. 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.400 And if you win on a winning record, there's something 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:44.160 to build on. 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:49.760 If you're nine to eight in this, that would be unbelievable. 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:52.640 I don't know if there's a better coaching job that 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.360 you have. No, I completely. 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:58.599 Agree, and I think everyone would be behind McCarthy in 0:13:58.640 --> 0:13:59.079 that moment. 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:01.800 I really, like I said, I think. 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:03.560 It's already there to a certain If. 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:06.679 The next two games go really badly, really badly, it's 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:07.319 a conversation. 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:08.240 It's a conversation. 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:10.240 You could get beat like you did against New Orleans, 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:12.679 like you did against Baltimore. Things weren't great at the 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:14.320 beginning of the year. If you end with a couple 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:17.800 of those, I agree, But you're gonna have some conversations. 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:20.080 If you even if they lose, if you play the 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:23.160 way this team is played consistently over the past five weeks, 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.520 I don't know how you say, Noam McCarthy, I really don't. 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.880 Yeah, it's tough, it's tough, and there's gonna be tough 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:33.120 conversations along the way. These are two good teams, of course, 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.720 like you said, they're leading the division for a reason. 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:37.960 But even in that four and one record over the 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:40.640 last five games, you're one play away from being five 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:44.160 to zero and controlling your own destiny inside the NFC 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:44.880 playoff picture. 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.280 That one which is special teams. 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:51.480 That's why that hurts so bad exactly. But that you're 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:55.160 one play away from being a playoff team with this roster, 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.280 with this team, that's that's. 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:00.680 Unbelievable, it really is. All right, let's take our first break. 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:02.160 When we come back, I want to talk about the 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:03.120 defensive growth. 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:05.960 We continue to see it yesterday, the way they took 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:08.760 care of business, and then see the lamb fighting through 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.520 an ac joint injury as well. I mean, that's not 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:15.000 easy to do it, seam do it throughout the game. 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:15.960 Return to the game. 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:20.800 Almost had a physical touchdown as well, right after he 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.000 was listed as questionable. We'll tell that story when we 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:24.720 come back on the other side of the break.

He's playing where he's comfortable 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:37.200 playing hill. 0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:38.520 Tell us about it. 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:40.440 I swear somewhere along the way. 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:42.920 I think we mentioned that I have mentioned that Donovan 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:47.320 Wilson is a strong safety. Strong safety usually spend their 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:50.760 time in the box and downhill. Got He doesn't want 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:53.480 to cover, He wants to hit. He covers by hitting. 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:54.600 That's how he covers. 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:55.680 Did he hit somebody else? 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:59.720 He destroyed? God? Dip even know how to do you 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:06.280 got though he destroyed Mike, He got all in the chest. 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:09.840 That was legal hit, that was nasty legal. You can 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:12.400 see them. You can see the vibrations like somebody's chest. 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:17.600 Yeah, you know, you know those hits which like all 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.360 the energy got transferred through his body like he didn't 0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:20.920 skip a beat. 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:23.919 Maris had one of those two, Yes he did. Maris 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:26.680 had one of those legal hit. Oh yeah, absolutely, legal 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:30.960 hits all all the crack. 0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:33.240 Of I love seeing Donald be in his element, though, 0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:35.800 you know, the first first half of the first really 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:38.200 three quarters of the season, they were playing him out 0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:40.960 of his element. You know, we talked about how effective 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:44.840 he was in the Dan Quinn system, and now seemingly 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:49.359 the Mike Zim system understands, Ah, let's stop making this 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:50.200 guy backpedal. 0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:52.679 It's not his thing. Back Pedaling and covering is not 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:53.000 his thing. 0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:54.560 Maybe send him forward, send him. 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:57.639 Forward and let him be a heat seeking missile. Okay, 0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:00.960 just fuck, that's. 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:01.919 What he does, hunter killers. 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:04.160 That's right, all one hundred and seventeen pounds of him 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:05.240 just drinning through your chest. 0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:06.440 That's what he does. 0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:09.440 That's why he got the extension here, because he separates 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:11.919 man from ball. And now he's able to do that 0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:13.960 because of where they're positioning him at on the field. 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:14.440 And I ended it. 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:17.240 You didn't hear from Mike Evans after that hit either. 0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:19.920 He really didn't get like one or two catches after 0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:20.879 that talk. 0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:22.240 After that, Nah, he didn't. 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:24.119 He didn't do that. 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:25.800 You could see on the slow mo as he went 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:27.720 back to the sideline, like you could see him just 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:29.400 put his head down and he was like. 0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:32.040 He's tried to get up, and he tried to get 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:33.640 up immediately walking he couldn't. 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:35.399 He had to take a second. They're like, come on, mind, 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:36.440 he's like just just. 0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:40.920 He's walking back to the huddle like the Peanuts, like Snoopy. 0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:45.680 Like I'm saying, there's some hits that just like, Okay, 0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:47.080 that was a good hit, But then there's hits where 0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:51.000 you literally see that all the energy got transferred through 0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:51.880 that man's soul. 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:54.159 Yeah, he felt every every bit of that. 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:57.040 I mean, when you talk about guys kind of settling 0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:59.480 into Mike Zimmer's system, I think that really. 0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:00.800 Just goes across the board. 0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:02.560 I Mean, we've talked about how these guys are playing 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:04.919 for Mike McCarthy and they're playing hard man. 0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:07.240 Mike Zimmer. You got to give the guy credit. 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:11.160 He's been in his bag for several weeks in a row. 0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:13.840 I mean, it's so it's so much. 0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:15.800 And I wasn't and I wasn't a believer. I was 0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:17.240 not a believer. But it's coming together. 0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:18.760 I mean, with the samples as you get at the 0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:20.800 front half of the season, I don't see why you would. 0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:21.800 I don't know how you could. 0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:24.760 After the Baltimore game Saints game, you're like, oh, this 0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:25.600 is the worst even. 0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:26.439 I don't see how you would be. 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:29.320 I think that you know, you talk about impressive working 0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:31.560 with the personnel. I mean when you rattled off those 0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:33.359 thirteen names earlier, A lot of it is on the 0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:36.040 defensive side of the ball, and you know, you lose 0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:38.480 some of your best pass rushers for majority of the 0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:41.880 season and you would have never guessed. So I think 0:21:41.960 --> 0:21:46.360 the time period from Micah Parson's coming back and what 0:21:46.680 --> 0:21:49.320 Zimmer seemingly learned went wrong in the first half of 0:21:49.320 --> 0:21:51.360 the season to now what he can do with him 0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:53.640 in the back half of the season. Because everything kind 0:21:53.640 --> 0:21:57.480 of centers on Micah, right, That's that's where this nucleus is. 0:21:57.560 --> 0:21:59.200 Or if he's going, everybody's. 0:21:58.760 --> 0:21:59.800 Going he's the key to it. 0:21:59.840 --> 0:22:01.639 He's he's the key to it all. And you've really 0:22:01.680 --> 0:22:06.399 seen that switch flip. It's just incredibly impressive. And so 0:22:06.600 --> 0:22:07.800 you got to give him his flowers. 0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:07.919 Man. 0:22:08.000 --> 0:22:09.239 I mean, he's he's dialing it up. 0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:12.280 When they blitz, they're blitzing at a really high level, 0:22:12.880 --> 0:22:15.120 and you know you don't have to worry as much 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:17.159 about the back end and the secondary. Sure, they gave 0:22:17.240 --> 0:22:18.600 him some big play. Thought it was a rough day 0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:20.400 for Ron Bland yesterday. 0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:21.959 But still play too. 0:22:22.080 --> 0:22:23.200 Yeah, still made the big play. 0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:25.080 And the pressure is gonna open a lot of things 0:22:25.119 --> 0:22:27.840 up for you and allow you to say, if Bland's 0:22:27.920 --> 0:22:30.520 having a bad day, or if they're picking on whoever's 0:22:30.520 --> 0:22:32.879 on the other side, or a Warria or whoever it 0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:33.320 may be. 0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:36.600 That's the nullifier of it all. That's your game changer. 0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:39.640 And so yeah, this this they're getting comfortable. They're getting 0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:40.480 comfortable in the scheme. 0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:42.359 They have confidence in the system for sure, and. 0:22:42.359 --> 0:22:43.600 They can play fast in it now. 0:22:43.640 --> 0:22:45.879 They're playing a little bit slow earlier because they're thinking 0:22:45.920 --> 0:22:49.040 too much. And I'm trying, Yeah, am I in the 0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:50.560 right spot? Am I making the right read? Am I 0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:51.440 making my right key? 0:22:52.200 --> 0:22:53.960 Now? That's that's kind of all out the window and 0:22:53.960 --> 0:22:54.760 they're playing fast. 0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:57.840 Not to keep referencing Chauncey Golston's. 0:22:57.280 --> 0:22:59.080 Interview, but it was a really good interview. 0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:02.879 Was it you or Nate that asked the question? I 0:23:02.920 --> 0:23:03.480 know it wasn't me. 0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:08.840 Was finding that rhythm and Zimmer system, Like, is it 0:23:08.880 --> 0:23:13.399 is it time that Zimmer's finally finding a way to 0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:15.760 put these guys in the right spot and figuring out 0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:18.639 the system. And Chauncey kind of chuckled like immediately and 0:23:18.760 --> 0:23:22.879 was like, it's actually the players adjusting to Zimmer system, 0:23:22.960 --> 0:23:25.159 Like the players adjusting and knowing where to be and 0:23:25.400 --> 0:23:26.640 figuring it out along the way. 0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:27.840 Again, really good interview. 0:23:27.880 --> 0:23:29.600 Not to keep pubbing on it, but it was it 0:23:29.640 --> 0:23:32.880 was exactly what we're speaking on on it the exactly 0:23:32.880 --> 0:23:36.600 what we're speaking on here is the defense needed time. 0:23:36.640 --> 0:23:38.800 And we all laughed. Josh brought it up last week. 0:23:38.800 --> 0:23:41.400 We all laughed when Michael Parsons sat there and said, 0:23:41.440 --> 0:23:42.960 you know what, at the end of the season, you 0:23:42.960 --> 0:23:44.480 guys are gonna look at us and say that's a 0:23:44.520 --> 0:23:45.280 really good defense. 0:23:45.320 --> 0:23:47.679 We're like, yeah, all right, dude, all right, yeah, not 0:23:47.760 --> 0:23:48.080 the case. 0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:50.960 That was off of a five game losing street exact course, 0:23:51.000 --> 0:23:51.840 it's it's hard. 0:23:51.680 --> 0:23:54.000 To be like okay, and I'm glad that he said 0:23:54.040 --> 0:23:56.120 it because it shows the. 0:23:56.040 --> 0:23:57.520 Mentality moving forward. 0:23:57.520 --> 0:23:59.359 And Mike didn't have a sack last night. 0:23:59.400 --> 0:24:01.159 He also went up interest in Worth quite a bit 0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:03.000 too and kind of bounce back and forth, but. 0:24:02.960 --> 0:24:03.800 He had one. 0:24:03.440 --> 0:24:07.720 He had that's right, you're right where Vigil had a 0:24:07.800 --> 0:24:09.440 recovery but then landed out of bounds. 0:24:10.640 --> 0:24:11.359 He was all over the. 0:24:11.880 --> 0:24:14.040 And Maris as well, like not tandem. 0:24:14.280 --> 0:24:17.960 Goodness, man, that's something that you want to see again, Like, 0:24:18.040 --> 0:24:25.280 I hope those two are specifically playing together again soon Sunday. 0:24:25.720 --> 0:24:30.640 That's the great work of experience and youth working together 0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:34.240 to pursue what was a good game from both guys. 0:24:34.440 --> 0:24:37.080 How encouraging is that to see a guy like marisleaf 0:24:37.119 --> 0:24:39.360 out you spent the third round pick on him, kind 0:24:39.359 --> 0:24:41.840 of went out on a limb. Remember that people were 0:24:41.920 --> 0:24:44.359 upset with that pick. They thought they reached on that pick. 0:24:45.200 --> 0:24:47.520 To see him as the starter coming out of training camp. 0:24:47.560 --> 0:24:49.639 That was the first indication of Okay, he's doing the 0:24:49.680 --> 0:24:52.920 right things, he's in the right spot, but he's er undersized. 0:24:53.040 --> 0:24:55.680 And that was the one knock consistently. He didn't play 0:24:55.760 --> 0:24:59.240 undersized last night. He played downhill, he played. 0:24:59.040 --> 0:25:00.920 Where he needed to be in He disrupted a lot 0:25:00.960 --> 0:25:02.080 from Tampa Bay's offense. 0:25:02.200 --> 0:25:05.359 He's undersized, I mean, and they'll fix that this offseason, 0:25:06.240 --> 0:25:07.960 but he that has nothing to do with his heart, 0:25:08.080 --> 0:25:10.000 his willingness to get in there and be physical, and. 0:25:09.960 --> 0:25:11.000 I think that's why they got him. 0:25:11.000 --> 0:25:13.600 He's fast, he's he's quick, he's instinct up and then 0:25:13.640 --> 0:25:15.399 he's willing to put his head in there regardless of 0:25:15.400 --> 0:25:18.160 what the scale says. You know, it's the second game 0:25:18.240 --> 0:25:20.479 that we've seen I think back to back weeks from 0:25:20.520 --> 0:25:22.520 now that he's had a force fumble, right, Yeah, So 0:25:23.080 --> 0:25:25.120 he's getting in there and even though he's not being 0:25:25.160 --> 0:25:27.080 the main guy to make the tackle, he's in on 0:25:27.119 --> 0:25:28.840 those assisted tackles and he's like. 0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:29.720 All right, you wrap him up. 0:25:29.720 --> 0:25:31.520 I'll pull this ball out of there, right, And it's 0:25:31.560 --> 0:25:35.200 like a complimentary ball, like, do what you do best. 0:25:35.400 --> 0:25:37.199 You know, you don't have to be great at everything. 0:25:37.280 --> 0:25:38.800 And that's the one thing about this this league, and 0:25:38.800 --> 0:25:42.760 people need to understand that players fit particular roles. And 0:25:42.800 --> 0:25:46.480 if Mary's lea Foule's role is to be the smaller 0:25:46.680 --> 0:25:50.200 energy bus guy that can be everywhere and can stop 0:25:50.359 --> 0:25:52.560 a guy long enough for his boys to come, and 0:25:52.600 --> 0:25:54.560 then he can be the guy who rips the ball out. 0:25:54.600 --> 0:25:56.880 Then that's his role. That's what he is right now. 0:25:56.960 --> 0:25:59.440 I mean, maybe that changes in the future, but right 0:25:59.480 --> 0:26:01.600 now he is the energy bus on the field at 0:26:01.600 --> 0:26:02.320 the second level. 0:26:02.680 --> 0:26:05.760 The thing that can cancel out being undersized is having 0:26:05.760 --> 0:26:08.639 a really high football cute IQ being a really smart player, 0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:12.040 and that's what Leafoo is. I mean against Carolina, you know, 0:26:12.119 --> 0:26:14.080 there were some plays where it's like, Okay, well he's 0:26:14.080 --> 0:26:15.800 maybe not in the right spot here, he's a little 0:26:15.840 --> 0:26:16.880 late there, and he missed. 0:26:16.680 --> 0:26:19.680 Some stuff much much much better in this game. 0:26:19.760 --> 0:26:21.760 And I think Isaiah said, at best, he's not the 0:26:21.760 --> 0:26:24.719 guy who's getting the solo tackles and running those numbers up. 0:26:24.720 --> 0:26:27.560 But he's always in the area. He's always kind of lurking. 0:26:27.600 --> 0:26:30.199 And if he starts gardening a reputation for Hi'm going 0:26:30.240 --> 0:26:31.800 to punch the ball out and do everything I can 0:26:31.840 --> 0:26:34.080 to get that ball loose, that's going to be incredibly 0:26:34.160 --> 0:26:34.800 and valuable. 0:26:34.960 --> 0:26:38.240 And right now he doesn't necessarily have the wherewithal the 0:26:38.280 --> 0:26:40.840 awareness to be in the right place at the right time. 0:26:41.119 --> 0:26:42.879 But he has a quickness to get there right. 0:26:43.160 --> 0:26:45.520 The more he develops that football IQ, he's going to 0:26:45.520 --> 0:26:47.520 be in position more often than not. 0:26:48.040 --> 0:26:50.240 He has a frame to put on some weight too. Yeah. 0:26:50.280 --> 0:26:51.960 I don't know where he's at right now when I'm 0:26:52.000 --> 0:26:53.720 just looking at him. He might be two ten. I 0:26:53.720 --> 0:26:56.439 don't know, but I think he probably comes back fifteen 0:26:56.440 --> 0:26:57.479 pounds heavier next year. 0:26:57.560 --> 0:26:59.040 Yeah, and changes it. 0:26:59.080 --> 0:27:00.760 And hopefully that he doesn't lose just speeding that. But 0:27:00.760 --> 0:27:01.920 then again, he's so young that. 0:27:01.960 --> 0:27:02.600 Yeah, he won't. 0:27:02.680 --> 0:27:03.040 He won't. 0:27:03.080 --> 0:27:05.119 He has a motor man And the other side of 0:27:05.160 --> 0:27:09.680 that with vigil. He didn't practice twice this week. Pract 0:27:10.400 --> 0:27:11.480 He barely has practiced. 0:27:11.480 --> 0:27:12.600 I've never seen him before. 0:27:14.240 --> 0:27:17.199 Every time I've seen him it's been with at the meetings. 0:27:17.280 --> 0:27:20.880 Yeah, but that's that's what walks into the stage. Where's 0:27:20.920 --> 0:27:21.200 your bad? 0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:25.080 It's like, well, he's just like niform. 0:27:26.440 --> 0:27:26.800 This guy. 0:27:27.160 --> 0:27:29.840 Are you a trainer? Yeah? 0:27:29.880 --> 0:27:31.320 Actually you know, starting linebacker? 0:27:31.600 --> 0:27:31.760 Uh? 0:27:31.880 --> 0:27:35.760 And he leads your team in tackles ten tackles. That 0:27:35.800 --> 0:27:37.439 was one that I woke up this morning. I was like, 0:27:37.440 --> 0:27:39.159 am I reading that right? He led the team in 0:27:39.240 --> 0:27:41.240 tackles and sure enough, I mean it's. 0:27:41.119 --> 0:27:41.800 On the film too. 0:27:44.040 --> 0:27:46.960 Oh he's all over the place. It's nasty, and he. 0:27:46.920 --> 0:27:49.080 Gives you some value on special teams too. So of 0:27:49.119 --> 0:27:54.119 course his cap Jordan Lewis. Dude, geez that that was 0:27:54.160 --> 0:27:56.000 the wildest interception I think I've seen. 0:27:57.080 --> 0:28:01.200 He I'm going to say this, Jordan Lewis is the 0:28:01.200 --> 0:28:03.480 most consistent player Dallas has had on their defense in 0:28:03.520 --> 0:28:08.760 two straight years. Yep, is he restrict he's restricted free agent? 0:28:08.800 --> 0:28:11.440 Correct? No, I think he's just free. 0:28:10.840 --> 0:28:13.840 I think we had a conversation a couple of weeks 0:28:13.840 --> 0:28:15.080 ago about like, who you would keep? 0:28:15.119 --> 0:28:19.359 It was my question of the question Osa versus Jordan Lewis, 0:28:19.400 --> 0:28:21.720 and like, man, I'm starting to turn a new leaf 0:28:21.920 --> 0:28:22.960 on ah. 0:28:23.080 --> 0:28:24.720 So now you want to come to my side of 0:28:24.760 --> 0:28:25.200 the defense. 0:28:25.320 --> 0:28:26.120 Yeah, I think I might. 0:28:26.880 --> 0:28:29.080 George's both impact players. They're both great. 0:28:29.080 --> 0:28:30.760 I think I picked Elsa too. I think I might. 0:28:31.040 --> 0:28:33.720 Everybody picked Osa except for me. I said, you know, 0:28:34.040 --> 0:28:37.879 I think no, because it was Patrick. Okay, Yeah, and 0:28:38.480 --> 0:28:40.280 all right, I think I'm swinging to the dark side 0:28:40.320 --> 0:28:40.600 over here. 0:28:41.320 --> 0:28:42.480 There's plenty of you. 0:28:43.120 --> 0:28:46.800 You have, goodness, gracious Jordan Lewis, and granted this is 0:28:46.840 --> 0:28:50.400 his tenth. 0:28:49.240 --> 0:28:52.680 I don't know. But he's effective, he's so he's so consistent, 0:28:52.720 --> 0:28:57.959 he's there were so many plays restricted to listen here, 0:28:58.040 --> 0:29:01.160 Cowboys Nation, y'all to start a petition. 0:29:03.040 --> 0:29:04.560 Like I'm so serious makes some noise. 0:29:04.600 --> 0:29:04.880 For sure. 0:29:05.200 --> 0:29:08.400 Is the heartbeat of your secondary. Yes, I will say 0:29:08.400 --> 0:29:12.280 it again. He is the heartbeat of your secondary. If 0:29:12.320 --> 0:29:16.000 you do not retain Jordan Lewis, this is not the 0:29:16.040 --> 0:29:16.880 same secondary. 0:29:17.560 --> 0:29:18.520 Completely agree. 0:29:18.920 --> 0:29:19.960 When I'm not even. 0:29:19.760 --> 0:29:22.280 Talking about just from the coverage standpoint, I'm talking about 0:29:22.280 --> 0:29:25.280 from a competitive standpoint, YEP, leadership. I'm talking about from 0:29:25.280 --> 0:29:27.560 the leadership standpoint, the things that he's overcome, how he's 0:29:27.560 --> 0:29:30.560 come back on the field, how he approaches the running defense. 0:29:31.000 --> 0:29:33.840 This was your one of your leading tacklers last year, right, 0:29:33.960 --> 0:29:36.120 somebody who steps up in the hole this year. You 0:29:36.120 --> 0:29:38.840 go back to yesterday's game, go back to where he 0:29:38.880 --> 0:29:40.560 was in him able to step into the whole Philly 0:29:40.600 --> 0:29:42.040 gap and just shrug it off. All right, let's go 0:29:42.120 --> 0:29:43.960 back to the huddle like not know who rah and 0:29:44.040 --> 0:29:45.840 not know Yeah I did that, just like yeah, that's 0:29:45.840 --> 0:29:48.200 my job. Okay, let's go and bus next. Yeah, Like 0:29:48.400 --> 0:29:50.040 just how he carries himself and how he goes about 0:29:50.080 --> 0:29:53.040 his business. This is somebody that you need, not want, 0:29:53.200 --> 0:29:56.880 somebody that you need on your roster. Do not play 0:29:56.920 --> 0:29:59.840 with your food on this one. Sign this man ge 0:30:00.080 --> 0:30:01.600 him what he's worth. I know there's a lot of 0:30:01.600 --> 0:30:04.320 other contracts that have to get done. I know Micah 0:30:04.400 --> 0:30:06.200 is on the cuss. I know that you got to 0:30:06.200 --> 0:30:08.400 get the wrong plan. I know that Tyler Smith, You've 0:30:08.400 --> 0:30:09.560 got a lot of big names. 0:30:09.360 --> 0:30:11.160 And you already got him back on a sweet deal. 0:30:11.320 --> 0:30:12.400 You're not going to get that again. 0:30:12.480 --> 0:30:14.320 Listen, you are not, because there are going to be 0:30:14.320 --> 0:30:18.360 a lot of teams that are going to pay him 0:30:18.360 --> 0:30:18.720 the bag. 0:30:18.960 --> 0:30:19.720 Yeah, for sure. 0:30:19.800 --> 0:30:21.200 You better make sure you're in that conversation. 0:30:21.240 --> 0:30:24.960 Do you granted this is a talking commander's question, but 0:30:25.040 --> 0:30:28.080 do you think Washington would be able to sign a 0:30:28.080 --> 0:30:32.560 guy like Jordan Lewis having needing to extend uh what's 0:30:32.560 --> 0:30:32.840 his name? 0:30:32.880 --> 0:30:34.000 Marshall Latimore as well? 0:30:34.080 --> 0:30:39.680 Yeah, I could also say that not getting Lewis because 0:30:39.720 --> 0:30:42.320 they've kind of got his kind of style of player. 0:30:42.320 --> 0:30:45.360 And Mike say Erstrol, Yeah, but you put three theom 0:30:45.360 --> 0:30:47.800 in Latimor's like that too, so you put you put 0:30:47.800 --> 0:30:48.680 threedom guys. 0:30:49.080 --> 0:30:51.800 Yeah, Well, remember dan Quinn had a Type two at 0:30:51.840 --> 0:30:56.920 corner and Jordan Lewis was guy, but he shined absolutely 0:30:56.920 --> 0:30:58.880 and he played very well there and that's where he's 0:30:58.920 --> 0:31:01.200 probably taken the biggest step in terms of his play 0:31:01.240 --> 0:31:02.080 throughout his career. 0:31:02.160 --> 0:31:03.760 So there's a relationship there. 0:31:04.160 --> 0:31:09.160 But I think, honestly, here's here's what I'm saying, keep him, 0:31:09.480 --> 0:31:11.440 make him a cowboy for life. 0:31:11.600 --> 0:31:11.959 Do that. 0:31:12.080 --> 0:31:12.880 I'm all on that. 0:31:13.240 --> 0:31:16.440 If they aren't able to do that, and Al Harris 0:31:16.640 --> 0:31:19.640 gets a job somewhere else, that's where you got to look. 0:31:19.920 --> 0:31:22.440 That's a team that would go and get him, doesn't 0:31:22.480 --> 0:31:24.840 matter where he ends up. Al Harris has had a 0:31:24.960 --> 0:31:28.040 huge impact on Jordan Lewis, along with Trayvon Diggs, did. 0:31:28.000 --> 0:31:29.520 Ron Bland and the rest of those guys. 0:31:29.720 --> 0:31:31.959 If Al Harris is not here next year, that's who 0:31:32.000 --> 0:31:32.960 you got to be worried about. 0:31:33.040 --> 0:31:34.680 I think you have to be worried about the highest bidner. 0:31:35.560 --> 0:31:37.160 I think he's at that point. I think he's at 0:31:37.160 --> 0:31:38.000 that point of his career. 0:31:38.040 --> 0:31:39.160 Take what bag he has. 0:31:40.160 --> 0:31:42.720 Exactly, And that's why I say eighth season, this is 0:31:42.720 --> 0:31:45.640 his last opportunity, most likely his last opportunity to get 0:31:45.680 --> 0:31:47.760 the bag. There might be teams that he wants to 0:31:47.800 --> 0:31:50.040 go to. It might be the Dallas Cowboys that he 0:31:50.040 --> 0:31:50.760 wants to come back to. 0:31:50.880 --> 0:31:53.520 He's going to be twenty million in career earnings, which 0:31:53.560 --> 0:31:56.400 is decent, but he could get he should be getting another. 0:31:56.400 --> 0:31:57.000 Half of that. 0:31:57.280 --> 0:32:00.800 He could get two per per year or two for ten. 0:32:00.880 --> 0:32:05.040 He should be getting seven eight nine per year. Yeah, 0:32:05.120 --> 0:32:06.400 with the effectiveness that he has on. 0:32:06.320 --> 0:32:08.440 Your deal, it's gonna be tough, man, It's gonna be tough. 0:32:08.480 --> 0:32:10.000 That's gonna be a that's gonna be a tough. 0:32:10.200 --> 0:32:12.040 This is gonna be an awful off season. 0:32:12.480 --> 0:32:16.560 Just everybody that's clamoring for draft picks and draft status 0:32:16.600 --> 0:32:17.400 and all that stuff. 0:32:17.520 --> 0:32:20.440 Guys, this off season is going to be terrible.
