Speaker 1: Garrett was my guy. You know, we joked on each other,
Speaker 1: laughed with each other, and you know, when I was
Speaker 1: telling him I was retired, that was probably you know
Speaker 1: the hardest thing that I had to do was to
Speaker 1: tell him, yeah that I'm done, right and uh but
Speaker 1: you know what, man, hopefully our past cross again, you know,
Speaker 1: because I love Coach Garrett. Man, it was a good dude,

Speaker 1: because you were on cross Talk with us one night.
Speaker 1: But talk us through how you kind of departed here,
Speaker 1: how you wound up in New York, how long your
Speaker 1: stay was, what that was like, and then and then
Speaker 1: how you wound up in the studio today. Yeah. So basically,
Speaker 1: you know, we got done with the twenty twenty season
Speaker 1: and you know I still wanted to play a year.
Speaker 1: I didn't know, you know, I was still I was
Speaker 1: up in the air a little bit about playing. But um,
Speaker 1: you know, I waited until summer came around. Training camps
Speaker 1: kind of started, and the Giants called me and wanted
Speaker 1: to pick me up. And I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, I've never said no to playing some football.
Speaker 1: So you know, I went out there and man, boy,
Speaker 1: I tell you what, it was a long time. I
Speaker 1: was there a long time. Four day Oh yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I got my contracts worth out of the Giants, and uh,
Speaker 1: I was up there, man, And I was missing my wife,
Speaker 1: I was missing my kids, and you know I had
Speaker 1: to in the back of my mind my son's first
Speaker 1: football season. I wanted to be there for him. And
Speaker 1: you know, I made the decision to retire. It was tough, though.
Speaker 1: It was tough, man, you know. I remember. I remember
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris was there, and I remember walking off the
Speaker 1: field thinking, man, you know, just like I was. I
Speaker 1: was trying to take it all in, just trying to
Speaker 1: smell the grass and whatnot. But I did nate, I did,
Speaker 1: you know. NFL practices are tough. I did have a
Speaker 1: thought in there to just be you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: done with practice. You know, I'm gonna say my backs
Speaker 1: hurt and then I'm out here, you know. But I
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, I'm betta give the game.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give the game everything you gave me. So
Speaker 1: I finished the practice. But you knew before practice I'm done.
Speaker 1: You know. It was when I walked, we were we
Speaker 1: were doing one on ones, we were doing five on four, right,
Speaker 1: and you know, this is a drill where the defense
Speaker 1: and offensive line you're just you're killing each other, right,
Speaker 1: you know, it is just you know, it is a
Speaker 1: full on war. You know, the defense knows its past.
Speaker 1: And as the center, you're sitting there in the middle
Speaker 1: and you're just taking hits. You know, it's just you
Speaker 1: can't do anything. You're just getting beat up. And I'm
Speaker 1: sitting there and I'm getting hitting. I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's just for me anymore. I don't know if I want,
Speaker 1: you know, three hundred pound grown man hitting me, you know,
Speaker 1: especially big Lawrence up there. Man, I'm just like, oh good.
Speaker 1: So you know I sat there and I knew then
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, you know what, after this practice,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be it. You know, I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell the guys in the morning. And uh but
Speaker 1: but I told myself, you know, I'm gonna finish this practice,
Speaker 1: give the game, give the game what it deserves. And
Speaker 1: lo and behold, blessed Joe, how blessed him. I we
Speaker 1: got to do some condition and after practice, and growing
Speaker 1: up in Little league, you know, as a as a
Speaker 1: big man, I won't say, you know, I don't know
Speaker 1: if we say fat on this fat, I'm gonna sat
Speaker 1: he says fat all the time. But as a big
Speaker 1: kid growing up running laps in little league, you know,
Speaker 1: we practice at a baseball field, So running laps, I
Speaker 1: was probably the worst thing that ever happened to me.
Speaker 1: You know. My dad was my coach, and I would
Speaker 1: look at him, you know, he running the lap, and
Speaker 1: I'd look at him me, you know, in my little
Speaker 1: eight year old mind. You know, my my little eight
Speaker 1: year old mom was really giving him the business that
Speaker 1: you think I'm telling us to run a lot. And
Speaker 1: so I finished my career conditioning, running, you know, across
Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, And it was it was only right.
Speaker 1: It was only right at that time to be like,
Speaker 1: all right, yeah, this is this is why I got
Speaker 1: this is it. God's telling me this is done. So
Speaker 1: you know I got a really hard conditioning, wasn't it?
Speaker 1: Didn't I think? Remember reading like he put you guys
Speaker 1: to the paces. That does Yeah he did. Boy, you know,
Speaker 1: I understand why Coach Judge did it. You know, I
Speaker 1: understand why he did it. But even in the back
Speaker 1: of my mind, I'm sitting there running the sprints and
Speaker 1: I'm like, literally there, no, I'm on the so do
Speaker 1: this rutted laps? Do it? Push ups? You gotta be
Speaker 1: kicked me. But it was fun though. It was fun man.
Speaker 1: Like I said, you know, I took I took it
Speaker 1: all in, you know, really really, when I unstrapped that
Speaker 1: helmet for the last time, you know, took my cleats off,
Speaker 1: I made sure, you know, I got that smell of
Speaker 1: the grass. And I'll never forget it. I'll never forget
Speaker 1: walking off that field knowing like, hey, this was the
Speaker 1: last time I was buttoning up my tens strap, putting
Speaker 1: on my pads to play organized football. You know who knows?
Speaker 1: I might? I might. I might you know, get into
Speaker 1: a flag league around here. People, yeah, talk to me,
Speaker 1: you know, people might see me, and you know it
Speaker 1: might not think that. You know this guy, you know,
Speaker 1: he's got some pounds on him, but you know, little
Speaker 1: due they now, I'm gonna be out there CD laming,
Speaker 1: so I'll get back to playing some organized flag football,
Speaker 1: you know, giving them the masses out here. Yeah, when
Speaker 1: did you know it was over? Nate? When were you done?
Speaker 1: H Wow? I was in I was in the Carolina
Speaker 1: Pounces camp and uh and I and I you know what,
Speaker 1: I give you my aid because I ain't had a
Speaker 1: guts to quit. I just was floating through up there
Speaker 1: with coach Wise. You know that's Jesus. But fortunate for me,
Speaker 1: they didn't want me to play. They just wanted me
Speaker 1: to do Boy. Yes, sir, that's a good thing. And
Speaker 1: I got through the year. I got there, got you know,
Speaker 1: so the surgeon, I'm try and I was happy. You
Speaker 1: tell us about what happen when I you know, I
Speaker 1: was the biggest highest Paige cheer leader when that thing
Speaker 1: was over. And uh, my agent coming to hey man,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to negotiate something. But then I don't want
Speaker 1: to do that, and I said, thank you because I
Speaker 1: don't want to tune that. Yeah, ran you so yeah,
Speaker 1: I was happy when it was over because you know, man, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, but you know when your skills had though,
Speaker 1: was your skills hadn't erode it? My skills? Oh they
Speaker 1: were through. Yeah, my skills were through. When did Kurt?
Speaker 1: When did you decide to quit? I'm still working on that.
Speaker 1: Are Ain't you a baseball extraordinary? I wouldn't say extraordinaire,
Speaker 1: but I'm a fan. What was your big thing, Shanna? What?
Speaker 1: Sports wise? What was your baseball? I was so small
Speaker 1: when I was fifteen. I was five three way one
Speaker 1: hundred and three. But what about now? So what about now?
Speaker 1: I five four way one hundred and seven? Take some
Speaker 1: of that. I was so small, Like I played I
Speaker 1: played football one season and my best friend was a big,
Speaker 1: big guy. Yeah, and he fell on me one practice
Speaker 1: and his knee drove into my thigh on and I
Speaker 1: got like a deep thigh bruise, and I was like,
Speaker 1: this is not for me, Like I'm done. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: finish the year out right, but I'm done. And I
Speaker 1: kind of regret that because I wound up growing a
Speaker 1: little bit and I was really fast. I was really quick,
Speaker 1: and I think I probably could have played D two
Speaker 1: or D three, probably could have played slot, maybe maybe
Speaker 1: even corner. Julian Edelman. Yeah, just you know, I was,
Speaker 1: I was. I wasn't long distance fast, but like off
Speaker 1: the line, I could, I could get it. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: And I kind of regret that I played basketball for
Speaker 1: one year about the same time, and then I just
Speaker 1: I decided, like baseball is my thing. I gonna stick
Speaker 1: with baseball. So yeah, I just but wow, yeah that
Speaker 1: was it. So Chris, do you play any sports besides bags? Man?

Speaker 1: was good, let's go. Hey, what's up? Challenged me. I
Speaker 1: had a I went to get my hair cut a
Speaker 1: few years ago and the kid was kid was sitting
Speaker 1: in the chair next to me and the you know,
Speaker 1: the girl he's probably he was probably twelve, and the
Speaker 1: girls cutting his hair talking to him. She's like, what
Speaker 1: do you know, what do you want to do when
Speaker 1: you get older? And he's like, you know, I really
Speaker 1: like this cornhole stuff. It's like, I think I want
Speaker 1: to be a professional cornhole player. I'm like, are you
Speaker 1: freaking kids? Like kids are wanting to grow up and
Speaker 1: be cornhole players. Well, I'll tell you what. I got
Speaker 1: a great story about cornhole because I'm a competitor deep inside.
Speaker 1: And me and Tyron we we met these people from
Speaker 1: UH in Dallas and they were they were wonderful, but
Speaker 1: they lived in this beautiful neighborhood and they were throwing
Speaker 1: UH their daughter a birthday party. And me, tying my sister.
Speaker 1: We went over to their house and you know, they
Speaker 1: had these cornhole boards and all little kids are coming
Speaker 1: to play corn hoole and whatnot, you know, And I'm
Speaker 1: looking and I'm looking at Tyring. I'm like, hey, these
Speaker 1: kids step up on these boards. You know, you try
Speaker 1: to give him. You know, you're gonna get this competitor
Speaker 1: out of me. So long story short, man, Me and Tyring.
Speaker 1: You know Tyring can play some cornhole. Yeah, yeah, that
Speaker 1: was my partner. Boy man, boy, you just about we
Speaker 1: will go on there. You know, Johnsonville Sausage. Just put
Speaker 1: us on there. Man, give us the t church we're
Speaker 1: gonna does he put the bionic arm on when he played.
Speaker 1: It might help him out. It might help out because
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, Tyran's got all that strength, he just
Speaker 1: throws it over, throws it over the board. But man,
Speaker 1: what you know? Heck of a partner. But those kids
Speaker 1: stepped up on them boards, man, and they figured out
Speaker 1: real quick the same game. Boy, you gotta come correct
Speaker 1: if you don't get bad, and you need to get
Speaker 1: a guy for Chris. You need to get with Chris.
Speaker 1: Chrison in the league. He's in the cornhole league. I
Speaker 1: didn't realize that, Yeah, we got to do this, might
Speaker 1: have an partner, Chris. Let's all right, what's the contract
Speaker 1: offered me? So it's the best type believe you get.
Speaker 1: You get your name on a trophy that stays at
Speaker 1: the bar for the rest of your life. It's like
Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup, the Cornhole Cup. I got my name
Speaker 1: on the cup like four times. Do you really that's awesome?
Speaker 1: I tell you what, Chris, Let's take an early break
Speaker 1: and we come back. Joe Looney is gonna tell us
Speaker 1: what's wrong? Is anything wrong with the offensive line? Nate

Speaker 1: Joe did some uh, Joe did some work for our
Speaker 1: merchandise department upstairs a few weeks ago. Photo Yeah, Hellman
Speaker 1: said every time he opens an email from HR, there's
Speaker 1: Joe and his ugly sweater and his modeling career here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: little model got the got the boot bounce boot bounce
Speaker 1: going on in here? Oh Man? All right, Nate, So
Speaker 1: this is a great show because everyone in the world
Speaker 1: is griping about the offensive line and Dak Prescott is
Speaker 1: trash right now? Is what the what the world thinks?
Speaker 1: What do you think? We have two offensive lineman, one
Speaker 1: that's freshly removed from this this this environment and this
Speaker 1: organization and still knows all the guys on the team
Speaker 1: are there any offensive lineman you don't know, I don't
Speaker 1: think so I take. I think I pretty much know everybody,
Speaker 1: all the guys. So what is your assessment, Nate, and
Speaker 1: then we'll get to you, Joe. What do you think
Speaker 1: about the offensive line and where it's at right now?
Speaker 1: I think this here and I'm just gonna give you
Speaker 1: an overall view of what I think is when you
Speaker 1: can rush thirty five times and be right at three
Speaker 1: point nine four yards carry and have one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty two yards and you pass blocked decent. And this
Speaker 1: last team didn't have the two great defensive ends, but
Speaker 1: they had two guys in the middle, and you you
Speaker 1: hammered this out. You you made this, And I think
Speaker 1: that don't stop shuffling, get you right tackle, get your
Speaker 1: left guard, let's go because stop shuffling. Yeah, you said
Speaker 1: don't stop shuffling, but you say right, yeah, lock them in. Now.
Speaker 1: I think offensive line is okay because this is thirty
Speaker 1: two teams and I think we're probably still one of
Speaker 1: the top fifteen offensive line teams. So that's what I feel,
Speaker 1: just the overview and not being specific on any player.
Speaker 1: That's what I feel because Coach Field and I think
Speaker 1: is a decent coach and he'll figure it out. That's
Speaker 1: what I believe. Yeah, so I think from from an
Speaker 1: offensive lineman standpoint, I think that you know, the offensive
Speaker 1: line is gonna have the finger pointed at them. You know,
Speaker 1: they're the biggest guys on the team, and you know
Speaker 1: they're gonna have the finger pointed at them. And always
Speaker 1: always found it like, yo, yeah, point the point the
Speaker 1: finger at us. You know that we got big shoulders.
Speaker 1: We can handle this. You know we're not We're not soft.
Speaker 1: We ain't gonna run away crying. You know, we're gonna
Speaker 1: strap up our pad, strap up our helm and come
Speaker 1: to work every day. And dude, we need to do.
Speaker 1: But I think if you criticize one guy, you criticize
Speaker 1: the whole group. You know, because the offensive line, as
Speaker 1: we know, is the only it's the only really unit
Speaker 1: on the team. You know, you gotta you gotta be
Speaker 1: in unisons when you're playing. And so if you you
Speaker 1: criticize one guy, you're criticizing the whole group. And I
Speaker 1: always found criticism is something good. You know, people see
Speaker 1: it as something you know, it's it's bad that they're
Speaker 1: talking about. No, no, no, this is a. This is
Speaker 1: a great way to find out who you are. You know,
Speaker 1: how you don't if you know, if you're not putting
Speaker 1: the tough situations, then you ain't gonna figure out that
Speaker 1: you are tough. So I always thought it was great,
Speaker 1: you know, give me that criticism because I'm you know,
Speaker 1: I think we live in and you know, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: prove you wrong generation right, and I'm gonna go out
Speaker 1: here and show you guys. Hey, I'm one of the
Speaker 1: best to do it. That's why I got this star
Speaker 1: on the side of my helmet. So you know, I
Speaker 1: always started, you know, give us that criticism and we'll
Speaker 1: use it as something positive. Do you see anybody go ahead? Well, well,
Speaker 1: I mean just now, a lot of the media think
Speaker 1: that they're going to bring Connor Williams back in for
Speaker 1: this this last tretch. And I think you were talking
Speaker 1: about shuffling of the line, that's what you're saying. I mean,
Speaker 1: how difficult does that for the other guys on the
Speaker 1: line when you're sort of moving pieces in and out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that is it is something difficult. You can't you can't
Speaker 1: hide the fact that you know you need you need
Speaker 1: five guys playing consistent up there and you know when
Speaker 1: when when coaches got to make these decisions, you know
Speaker 1: they're they're not easy decisions. And once, once, just like
Speaker 1: Nate said, once you make a decision, you gotta stick
Speaker 1: with it. You gotta stick with it. Because the best
Speaker 1: way to learn the game is by getting reps, right,
Speaker 1: you gotta be out there playing the game. It's one
Speaker 1: thing to be in practice getting these reps. But if
Speaker 1: you're gonna be out there and you're gonna roll with
Speaker 1: a guy, you know. I always thought, man, if you're
Speaker 1: gonna roll with me, let me, let me go out
Speaker 1: there and play, you know. And one of the ways
Speaker 1: you learn to play the game is by making mistakes.
Speaker 1: You know, if you get if you get a linebacker
Speaker 1: and you you you miss a protection, you know, and
Speaker 1: he runs in and sacks the quarterback, you kind of
Speaker 1: look at yourself and you're like, Okay, I can't let
Speaker 1: that happen again. You go to the film room, you
Speaker 1: look at that and you learn from it. You learn
Speaker 1: from it, and that's how that's how you get better
Speaker 1: at planning in the NFL. Just like I said, one
Speaker 1: thing to be out there at practice, but when you're
Speaker 1: in the game and you're getting those live reps and
Speaker 1: you're under fire. That's the best way to learn how
Speaker 1: to play. Yeah, so what do you what do you
Speaker 1: attribute the I guess the offensive because it's flipped. Beginning
Speaker 1: of the year, we were worried about the defense, and
Speaker 1: it's like, we're gonna hang forty on everybody like we're
Speaker 1: gonna hang forty, but we're gonna give up thirty nine.
Speaker 1: But we'll be good because we're gonna win out. Now
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, the defense is clicking. Now if the
Speaker 1: offense can get it together, like nobody's gonna want a
Speaker 1: piece of this team. But what do you see what's
Speaker 1: holding the offense back right now? A lot of people
Speaker 1: say it's offensive line. Nate thinks Zeke's banged up with
Speaker 1: the knee and that's what's going on with him. A
Speaker 1: lot of fans are talking about play call and a
Speaker 1: lot of fans are down on deck right now. What
Speaker 1: do you see is preventing them from putting up the
Speaker 1: points they were in the beginning of the season. Well,
Speaker 1: I think you definitely need a strong running game as
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman. And even growing up with football, my
Speaker 1: dad always preached, you know your run will open up
Speaker 1: your pass. And you know, if you're getting three yards
Speaker 1: two yards in the beginning of a game and that's
Speaker 1: how you start the game, well that's okay, you know,
Speaker 1: because as you as you go on throughout the game,
Speaker 1: you run some outside zone inside zone power. You get
Speaker 1: these defensive linemen up there running around and you get
Speaker 1: them tired. So by the time you get to the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, those three yard two yard games that you
Speaker 1: were getting in the first quarter, those open up to
Speaker 1: fifteen twenty and maybe your break one like Tony Poler
Speaker 1: did in the Saints game, and you you stick with it,
Speaker 1: and then I think that, you know, it takes the
Speaker 1: pressure off of everybody. You know, when you're running the football, well,
Speaker 1: you're grinding other teams down, you're controlling the clock, and
Speaker 1: then you open up for all these weapons you got
Speaker 1: on the outside. You got CD, you gotta mary. It's like,
Speaker 1: you know, you you look and Kellen could look at
Speaker 1: his place sheet and be like, man, I could really
Speaker 1: call anything right now. So I think that, you know,
Speaker 1: you gotta stick with the running game. You gotta stick
Speaker 1: with you know, even even if it's not working in
Speaker 1: the beginning of the game, stick with it. Pound that
Speaker 1: ball and good thing. Good things are gonna happen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's been one of the criticism, hasn't been they've given
Speaker 1: up on the run to earlier, not this past game.
Speaker 1: And this is what's ugly and this is what makes
Speaker 1: playoff football so great, is what Looney saying. I agree
Speaker 1: with one hundred percent, because now if you continue to
Speaker 1: run the ball, if your defense is playing great, what
Speaker 1: you want now is to limit the times these touched
Speaker 1: the field. So by that's why I said thirty five carries,
Speaker 1: that's thirty two minutes on average. So now your defense
Speaker 1: is only playing twenty eight minutes, twenty six minutes with
Speaker 1: this defense. Okay, and that's what he's telling about. Every
Speaker 1: time the offensive line gives you a one to two
Speaker 1: yard game, and even in the fourth quarter, if it's
Speaker 1: still going like that, but you're carrying the ball, everything
Speaker 1: else opens up everything. Let me ask you this that
Speaker 1: we have seen or so, it seems that dak seems
Speaker 1: almost to function better when they're playing on a hurry up,
Speaker 1: faster paced offense. How do you balance that helping him
Speaker 1: out with keeping the running game going, keeping the defense
Speaker 1: off the field. That sort of thing you can still
Speaker 1: run the ball. I mean, go back to when he
Speaker 1: was in Mississippi. They fast paced, they still ran the ball.
Speaker 1: The difference zeals right here, Fellas. And I hate to
Speaker 1: say this because but the only thing that's different about
Speaker 1: all of this is Dak doesn't run anymore. Dak had
Speaker 1: a chance to make a three yard or four yard
Speaker 1: first down and he chose to sit and throw the
Speaker 1: ball away or take the sack. And and I'm just wondering,
Speaker 1: is Dak gonna say, hey, you know what, if it's
Speaker 1: easy the first down to keep my team on the field,
Speaker 1: let me go on to get this easy first down
Speaker 1: because you can still slide. I mean, yeah, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a horrific incident last year. But still now you're you're
Speaker 1: you're trying to be something. And I don't want to
Speaker 1: be critical of another man's talent, but he's not a
Speaker 1: pure drop back quarterback. He's not that. Yeah. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: so I understand you're trying to maneuver into pocket, but
Speaker 1: you gotta move around a little bit and you gotta
Speaker 1: help your team. Yeah, And I think too, going off
Speaker 1: of your point, you know, we all know the athlete
Speaker 1: Dak is, Yes, And I think we all understand, you know,
Speaker 1: the criticisms he's been you know, you know, nailed with
Speaker 1: this this past week. And uh, I think it's I
Speaker 1: think for Dak, you know, just being around him, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of an illusion, you know that he's
Speaker 1: seeing right now, he's being compared to all these other guys.
Speaker 1: When you're being compared to these other guys in the NFL,
Speaker 1: you feel like, oh man, you know this, this, this
Speaker 1: is what I gotta do to be one of the
Speaker 1: one of the greats. It's like, look that you're already
Speaker 1: one of the greats by doing what you do. And
Speaker 1: you know, I think one of the great things that
Speaker 1: I loved hearing coach Garrett say is he said, you know,
Speaker 1: no one know you know, when you're going out there,
Speaker 1: you got to know who you are, know what you're doing,
Speaker 1: and just let it, let it fly, let it play.
Speaker 1: And that's one of the things. And I think as
Speaker 1: a competitor, you know Dak, I think, you know, I myself,
Speaker 1: you know, I was my hardest critic, and I know
Speaker 1: I know Dak is the same way. And he's gonna
Speaker 1: see that and he's gonna understand, Hey man, I just
Speaker 1: gotta go out here and be a kid to get
Speaker 1: him do what I need to do and play football.
Speaker 1: You know, if I see something open up, hey, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take it. And you know, and if I get
Speaker 1: criticized on, you know, getting the first down on a
Speaker 1: three yard running maybe somebody's open downfield that I don't see.
Speaker 1: You know what, we got a first down. I'm helping
Speaker 1: my team out. You know, It's not about the criticism anymore. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because what he what As you get closer close to
Speaker 1: the playoffs, it's gonna be about that first down. You know.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be about can I get enough first downs
Speaker 1: to get me into this red zone and then we
Speaker 1: can work on the red zone, you know, because I
Speaker 1: tell people the hardest thing to work on in practice
Speaker 1: his red zone because that is when the fire and
Speaker 1: it's in a small place exactly. So now you need
Speaker 1: to get to the red zone as many times you
Speaker 1: can to try to try to work this out because
Speaker 1: that you know, gold line short yard is able. One
Speaker 1: way you can do that, and that's wide open. You
Speaker 1: can't do a short yardist play if you're doing it
Speaker 1: at three quarters, it ain't gonna never work because you're
Speaker 1: gonna get what you get in the game, that's what
Speaker 1: you need to throw it to one of the fat
Speaker 1: boys down there something, you know what I'm saying. We
Speaker 1: were talking about that before the show. Uh every game day,
Speaker 1: me and Chris would like bump each other because seventy
Speaker 1: three would be eligible. What was five to ten times
Speaker 1: a game probably, oh yeah, And I would just I
Speaker 1: was just waiting for Jumbo Joe to catch a pass
Speaker 1: and it just never happened. I tell you what. There
Speaker 1: were moments though, and I'll tell you what I think.
Speaker 1: I think when you're when you're in the moment, you know,
Speaker 1: and you know the game plan. This was a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago. We were playing the Lions and Callahan
Speaker 1: was the uh ROC and we had a play for
Speaker 1: old Jumbo Joe and you know, we get down to
Speaker 1: the two yard line where the players install. So you
Speaker 1: had you had to you had to play install for
Speaker 1: this game. I mean, yeah, the players stalled for the
Speaker 1: for the game, all the planets, the line. You know,
Speaker 1: you hear Jumbo package Jumbo, you know, And I felt like,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not I'm I'm watching myself play the game.
Speaker 1: Now you come running and rubbing yourself like three were boys.
Speaker 1: You know, you just kind of you kind of in
Speaker 1: the huddle and you hear Dak. You know, I don't
Speaker 1: even hear what he says, but it's kind of like
Speaker 1: waiting break slow motion, and I line up, you know,
Speaker 1: and you know, bless me that you know, it wasn't
Speaker 1: the plane. It wasn't the play that was in the heart.
Speaker 1: And I didn't even I didn't even listen to Day.
Speaker 1: I was like, man, this is irrelevant. You just knew
Speaker 1: it was your planet. This is irrelevant. Just line the
Speaker 1: guys up. We know what's going on here. Just get
Speaker 1: them to the line. Dak, and man, I start jogging
Speaker 1: over to my place. You know, I'm putting, making sure
Speaker 1: I got my stick them on my hands, you know.
Speaker 1: So I catch the ball. Dak looks at me over
Speaker 1: here and I'm walked in like I'm like, what's the plane? Man?
Speaker 1: Show gee? And I'm like, man, they're kidding me. All
Speaker 1: are stealing this from me, y'all are not stealing my moment.
Speaker 1: But that's how, that's how my, that's how my. That
Speaker 1: was your receiving career, that was what I receiving. Zero yards,
Speaker 1: zero yards, zero tips. All right, let's take our last break.

Speaker 1: talked about offense. Joe, what's your assessment of the defense?
Speaker 1: What do you what do you think about these guys?
Speaker 1: I mean, I love it. I love it, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, you're watching this defense. You know, my dad
Speaker 1: always said, you know, when you're on defense and it
Speaker 1: makes you want to get cuckoo for cocoa pobs is
Speaker 1: absolutely amazing. And uh I was I was telling you
Speaker 1: guys a little story, you know, back in twenty and
Speaker 1: eighteen when we were playing the Saints. You know, it's
Speaker 1: a really close game and our defense was just, you know,
Speaker 1: ridiculous at the time, and knowing, hey, man, you know
Speaker 1: if we if we gotta pump the ball, we can
Speaker 1: rely on these guys to go out here and do
Speaker 1: their job, you know, just like Nate said, or you know,
Speaker 1: I was the we're the biggest cheerleaders out there. You know,
Speaker 1: give me some pump pumps, white boots and whatnot, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be going out there. You know, what's the
Speaker 1: what's the high kicks that they do to us on
Speaker 1: the side by, you know, because you know understruck, Yeah,
Speaker 1: a little thunderstruck. Man, we know that these guys are
Speaker 1: gonna go out here and get the job done and
Speaker 1: do what we need to do. So I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: I think we all we all know, man, defense wins
Speaker 1: championships and offense sales tickets, you know, and it's it's
Speaker 1: wonderful to see all these points being put up. But
Speaker 1: to be able to hold that trophy, you know, I
Speaker 1: think defense has a lot of play to going to that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what do you think about Micah Oh? I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: to come in and do what he's doing as a rookie.
Speaker 1: And I talk about this a lot. I was a
Speaker 1: cocky rookie before nine on seven drill in my first
Speaker 1: training I was, you know, I was like, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come in. I'm four year starter in college,
Speaker 1: true freshman. What's up man? The NFL just a joke.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come here and owned this league. Justin Smith
Speaker 1: humbled me really quick, really quickly, with out humble you quit,
Speaker 1: you know, with Patrick Willis is coming in and feeling
Speaker 1: a hole, the varl bowman coming down, it humbles you.
Speaker 1: So to see what he's doing as a rookie, it's
Speaker 1: really it's really spectacular, you know, because you don't you
Speaker 1: don't see rookies come in and just dominate the way
Speaker 1: they do. I think, you know, they were showing a
Speaker 1: play the other day when he was going up against Schriff.
Speaker 1: Schriff yea up there, and I mean this is a
Speaker 1: pro bowler, bowler, just a pro bowler, man. I mean
Speaker 1: like this, dude, this ain't no slap. You know, this guy,
Speaker 1: this guy is a monster, and he just you know,
Speaker 1: hits him with a move and zack fumble. You know.
Speaker 1: So I think it's I think it's special. It's special
Speaker 1: for him, it's special for the fans, and it's it's
Speaker 1: enjoyable to watch, you know, seeing seeing someone like that
Speaker 1: have so much success. What what do you think about
Speaker 1: his comments? The NFL is easy? Who said that? Michael?
Speaker 1: It is fam I'm with you. Come in. I came
Speaker 1: in and got to have him a dropped on me
Speaker 1: a couple of time, like wow, this ain't thoughts, specially
Speaker 1: coming from Florida and him. You know so, But I
Speaker 1: think you know too. You see a lot of these
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of cats, you know, and
Speaker 1: you break talent down in the NFL. Everybody in the
Speaker 1: NFL has talent, and you know, I thought it, you know,
Speaker 1: but you see these guys like a Michael Parsons, a
Speaker 1: Tyrant Smith. These guys just goat whatever. You know. It's
Speaker 1: it's the god gene. Yeah, it's this God and them
Speaker 1: that just like these dudes man, I mean, just built
Speaker 1: to play football. You I mean, it's like a it's
Speaker 1: like a second ager. They just walk out there and
Speaker 1: they're good. So it's it's it's fun to see. It's
Speaker 1: fun to watch, you know. I mean, you get a
Speaker 1: player like that on your team. That's been official for you.
Speaker 1: We'll take it, ready to break. Did you ever played defensive? All?
Speaker 1: I did? H Huh? I did I do? I did?
Speaker 1: I played. I played some defense in high school. And
Speaker 1: uh and then literally, you know I talk about I
Speaker 1: had I had a great Literally you know, my dad
Speaker 1: was my coach, and you know he would line me
Speaker 1: right up over the center and be like you take
Speaker 1: him and you put him right in the quarterbacks lap
Speaker 1: and I just look at him, yes, sir, Yeah, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know it was great. But I always loved the
Speaker 1: offensive line play, you know, I just you know, you're
Speaker 1: not in the spotlight. You're with a group of guys.
Speaker 1: And that's what I wanted to do. I wanted to,
Speaker 1: you know, be with a group of guys and you know,
Speaker 1: go out there and smash them guys, because you know,
Speaker 1: when when when when when teams do rush two hundred
Speaker 1: yards and whatnot? Running backs? You know, quarterbacks get all
Speaker 1: the praises for how many yards they passed for, how
Speaker 1: many yards they rushed for. But deep down inside, we
Speaker 1: know you know you didn't head coach, How was your game? Yeah?
Speaker 1: You played some defense, too, didn't you? Yeah? Yeah, all
Speaker 1: the way to college. Yeah, you actually like defense better
Speaker 1: than Yeah, I do, and that's why I root for him.
Speaker 1: A little bit harder to do the offense, you know,
Speaker 1: even though it's harder to play offensive line. You know,
Speaker 1: let me get change of you. Okay, all right, coacher man,
Speaker 1: Yeah what a mess? Huns a mess man. Definitely pay
Speaker 1: that dude all that money to do all that work.
Speaker 1: You can reconstruct your whole program and get one guy
Speaker 1: three thirteen games and that's a shame, man, I mean.
Speaker 1: But anyway back, the more important things we win it. Yeah, seriously,
Speaker 1: I was I was telling my wife about this, sorry,
Speaker 1: because you know, I was telling my wife about this.
Speaker 1: It's it's tough for coaches to come from college because
Speaker 1: you're you're you're dealing with grown men and there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you just can't do whatever you want and say whatever
Speaker 1: you want to saving ran into the same thing, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's tough. Man, he's a grown
Speaker 1: man you're dealing with. You know, they're gonna they're gonna
Speaker 1: say something back to you, you know. And I've had
Speaker 1: my you know, fair share of runnings with with coaches
Speaker 1: and what oh yeah, nice old jumbuzz John telling you,
Speaker 1: you know, in the pros or in the pros really pros,
Speaker 1: you know, and college they can control you a little better. Yea,
Speaker 1: in pros not not these kids, not this new generation,
Speaker 1: but at our generation, a little older coach tell you
Speaker 1: what he wants you to know it and I was
Speaker 1: gonna be it right. And you know, I think you
Speaker 1: get some confidence in you. Uh you kind of you
Speaker 1: start you start smelling yourself a little too much. You know,
Speaker 1: you have this confidence to speak back to the coach.
Speaker 1: And you know, I definitely, I definitely, and I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not happy about it. I'm not proud of it.
Speaker 1: But you know, I think there's some things that you
Speaker 1: just you know, as as a man, you know, we
Speaker 1: all we all respect each other, and you know, you
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta have you gotta show that respect to
Speaker 1: get it. And you know I was raised to, you know,
Speaker 1: give respect no matter what. And I think you get
Speaker 1: there to a certain extent. But if you keep poking
Speaker 1: the bear, Yeah, you put that dog in the corner, right,
Speaker 1: come out, Barden. Nobody puts Looney in the corner. Nobody
Speaker 1: puts Baby in the corner. Well see Kurt's Kurt's happy
Speaker 1: that that Zeke's banged up because he's no, no, no,
Speaker 1: don't throw me under that bus. It's not true. They're
Speaker 1: spreading lies. What's what's the status of Pollard? Has he
Speaker 1: been practicing this week? He was out there today. They
Speaker 1: said he stretched and he did some work with Britt
Speaker 1: on the side, and then he joined the team for
Speaker 1: some things. But you know, he wasn't heavy into the
Speaker 1: drills or whatever. So they're hopeful. They're hopeful, and Nate,
Speaker 1: you think they can. You think they can run the ball,
Speaker 1: no matter if it's Clement and Hearty out there, right.
Speaker 1: I really believe that. I believe that these guys are
Speaker 1: good enough to run the ball. I think that thirty
Speaker 1: five carries one hundred twenty two yards no matter who's carried.
Speaker 1: That's not that's not that's not to be laughed at.
Speaker 1: If if our quarterback just can center himself and get
Speaker 1: himself calmed down, because that's how I think Dak throws
Speaker 1: thirty nine times a game. We run that thing twenty
Speaker 1: five thirty times he throws a thirty and Dak is dad.
Speaker 1: We cannot be beat. Go back and check the records.
Speaker 1: We cannot be beat. Well, did you guys feel a
Speaker 1: lineman that if you did your job, anybody could run
Speaker 1: behind you. Oh yeah I knew, Yeah definitely, yeah, and
Speaker 1: yeah definitely. But they don't hurt that, they don't hurt
Speaker 1: to have him in. But yeah, i'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: You know it when when a running back. You know,
Speaker 1: Zeke was always in our our run meetings, you know,
Speaker 1: on Wednesday Thursday morning. He would come to our run
Speaker 1: meetings and he would tell us, you know, the angles
Speaker 1: that he's gonna be running, that, how he's gonna set
Speaker 1: guys up so we can get our blocks, and how
Speaker 1: he's gonna run off of that. And I think when
Speaker 1: you got somebody back there, you know, you already got
Speaker 1: a good offensive line working for you, but when you
Speaker 1: got somebody back there doing that for you, it makes
Speaker 1: things easier. It's like, I see it, We'll see in
Speaker 1: the end zone. Dude. Yeah, that's interesting that he would
Speaker 1: come in and tell you how he's gonna run. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought it was I thought it was important because
Speaker 1: then you know what what angles you need to take.
Speaker 1: You know, It's like, how do I need to reach
Speaker 1: this line, you know, the defensive linement at what angle
Speaker 1: do I need to go get the linebacker. When I'm pulling,
Speaker 1: what what number am I aiming for? You know, is
Speaker 1: he gonna take this thing inside or outside? So it's
Speaker 1: it's it's it's big down to the details of you know,
Speaker 1: running the football. It's just hard for people to understand
Speaker 1: because when they look at running backs and this is
Speaker 1: the theory, this is you know, you can disagree or agree,
Speaker 1: brother Luna. In high school, when you have a great
Speaker 1: running back, he can go anywhere on the field and
Speaker 1: make a touchdown. In college he has to stay more
Speaker 1: play side, but he still has that ability to bend
Speaker 1: it back. In pros, you get a hold, we get
Speaker 1: a hold, and when you do, you when you think
Speaker 1: you can just go right here to the right tock
Speaker 1: and make it, just dart back to the to the left,
Speaker 1: to the left guard now holding number sixty one, because
Speaker 1: you gotta stay. You gotta give to play a chance.
Speaker 1: Because these athletes are so great on defense, they can
Speaker 1: react so fast. So you can be going, I can
Speaker 1: be going up to the second leve. I could be
Speaker 1: me and lude could be working. I could be the
Speaker 1: right guard and we're going. I'm going up to the
Speaker 1: second level as you. But you're reading through me so
Speaker 1: quick to wh he makes that jerky move all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, I got you, you know what, I'm saden,
Speaker 1: you flaying and I'm getting the flag. You have to
Speaker 1: stay more with the play when you get into the
Speaker 1: pros due to the defense is so much more athletic
Speaker 1: than it right college. It definitely does. It puts the
Speaker 1: offensive linement and are you know a compromising the physician. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you know the running back is like, oh well,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna cut it back right now, right now.
Speaker 1: You know what I think? Uh, you know, I've been
Speaker 1: watching a lot of ball this year and you look
Speaker 1: at kind of like a Nagi Harris. You know you
Speaker 1: gotta learn, Hey, you gotta kind of let that play
Speaker 1: develop a little bit. Oh yes, right, give them big
Speaker 1: guys some time to work up there are set those
Speaker 1: blocks up. You know. Do your jobs changed much drastically,
Speaker 1: if at all? If depending on who who the running
Speaker 1: back is? Uh? For for me, we we got guys
Speaker 1: that were more similar to to to E. Now the
Speaker 1: game has changed. Where you you thea in the OFFENSI
Speaker 1: according and I was like, shouldn't know what running back
Speaker 1: is in there? And help your offensive line have the
Speaker 1: best play for this running back pay Yeah, the play call. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's why it seems to me now as you
Speaker 1: actually had to do it with this new generation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Kerr and I think you know, we we would, we
Speaker 1: would know the difference between you know, each each running
Speaker 1: back kind of has their little play designs. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: you know both both you know, Zeke and Tony can
Speaker 1: they can do it all. But you know, when when
Speaker 1: one guy comes in the game, it's like, okay, you
Speaker 1: know we got we got so many plays that they're
Speaker 1: gonna be running in the game, and we know, you know,
Speaker 1: we see them coming in. You know, it's like, all right,
Speaker 1: we're running this play and you kind of adjust your
Speaker 1: your blocking style to you know, how they're how they're
Speaker 1: how you know, coaches calling the game. Yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 1: So like Barry Saunders, they whether they wanted to be
Speaker 1: or not, they were gonna be a big draw team.
Speaker 1: And draw is you kind of set and let the
Speaker 1: defense move first, because you know, Barry, Barry gonna it
Speaker 1: there and he looking all of a sudden, he gone,
Speaker 1: He's going where he wants, He going where he wants.
Speaker 1: So they were more of a big draw team. Where
Speaker 1: it's with him. We was coming forward, we was gonna
Speaker 1: dictate what was gonna be happening, and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: you see that's what I'm sub shot that nobody don't
Speaker 1: do that for Barkley. If I'm if I'm I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm a big draw team. I'm like, we gonna let
Speaker 1: you declare because I got to do back there that
Speaker 1: can move right, you know, And I think you know
Speaker 1: what's important too, understanding football and you know, Nate, you guys,
Speaker 1: you know, every play is designed to score a touchdown. Yes,
Speaker 1: it is every every time you you know, every time
Speaker 1: you get a play call, you know, it's like, man,
Speaker 1: we could take this one to the crib. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, we're happy with a three four yard
Speaker 1: game because we understand that this is the NFL. It's hard,
Speaker 1: but we're trying to score every time. This every time
Speaker 1: we hear these play calls run past, you know, special
Speaker 1: teams play calls. We're trying to score. We're trying to
Speaker 1: score touchdowns, and it usually comes down to basically one
Speaker 1: guy on deep right, like everybody, everybody's assigned to a dude.
Speaker 1: And if you can make that one guy missed, then
Speaker 1: that's where your your touchdown comes in, right that. That's
Speaker 1: why I'm telling everybody, you know, if we just can
Speaker 1: get people didn't know how valuable you was at the
Speaker 1: lunar position, the jumbo that we forgot how valuable Connor
Speaker 1: McGovern was when he was running that position. We gotta
Speaker 1: get a tight end. We gotta get a tight end.
Speaker 1: And so when when when, when, when Parler does come back,
Speaker 1: we can give him some of that outside. We gotta
Speaker 1: be able because they're setting the edge on us. And
Speaker 1: this is all right. Zeke ain't got no problem with
Speaker 1: hitting up in the Zeke the more to marry you.
Speaker 1: But with Tony, it ain't gonna be that way, you know,
Speaker 1: get him into into his flavor, you know, so running yeah,
Speaker 1: get him running all right? Fellas well. We're out of time. Kurt,
