He 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:42.880 get out there and when you watching his running backs 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:44.440 and you watching the receivers and what do you do 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.400 with Tyreek Hill and Jayson Walla and Tour, you know, 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:50.040 he got to get in his props. 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:53.360 There's no doubt. There's no doubt that little video they had, 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:55.600 you know, I think someone play drive right here. I 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.120 feels come and play drive that little sinister laugh. 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:01.240 Like you've been paying attention to the the Amazon special 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:01.600 on them? 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:06.560 Yeah hbo two. 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.600 Times boom I means yeah. I was like, okay, hey, 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:13.840 hey he's good boy. He's a really really good football cup. 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:15.799 So are you are you saying that dan Quinn has 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:18.320 his work cut out for him with coach Sole brother 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.280 uh and that offense and the weapons that he has 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:23.840 the running game. Also, they top five, top ten in 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:28.840 every category. So I'm worried, man, you are, I'm worried. 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:32.760 You know, Look, they are dealing with some injuries. They 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:35.080 have been for a long time. The offensive line isn't 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.679 what they started the season with, and I think that's 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.760 the only thing that gives you a clear cut indication 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.280 that maybe, as far as a running team is concerned, 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:45.280 they're gonna be able to pound it the same way 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:46.640 that Buffalo pounded it, don't you. 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:50.560 So I'll counter what you're saying there with I think 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.640 we all believe the Jets are good defense. I do 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:56.839 beating thirty to nothing with a banged up offensive line 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:57.560 last week. 0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:01.760 It just beat Buffalos? Who does just because just have 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:03.960 beat some really good teams this season. Was Buffalo one 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:04.280 of them. 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:05.200 I don't know. 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:07.079 Let me, let me let me look check it. 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:09.800 I don't Actually, we got it. We got handy Dandy 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:16.240 right here. Buffalo beat the Jets this year, and they 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.720 lost to the Jets. So yeah, so so first first 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.239 game of the year they lost that Jets, I don't know. 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:26.520 But then later on any year they beat them. But yeah, 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:30.399 and Miami lost the Buffalo big after they beat through 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.280 the seventy up on Denver. Then they gave up forty 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:35.280 there but then uh and they beaten Miami's beating the 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:40.120 Jets twice this year, So this is this is for me. 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:46.400 I just think this is a bad style for them, 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:49.760 and I think these are two coordinators who pose a 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.360 problem for them this week. And I'm worried. 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.840 Who's a good style. I mean, since you, since you 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:01.880 style for us, they know how to beat And that's 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:03.600 where I have a problem. I have a problem with that, 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:05.600 especially when we start we're gonna do the camp and 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:07.120 you start doing that at this point in the season 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.040 anywhere they played them and we beat them, and we 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:11.320 beat them and they did The Jets are not the 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.560 same team from the beginning of the season, regardless especially 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:16.240 with everything that they've been going through in the New 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:17.040 York media. 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:19.560 Just not the same team, not the same defense. 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:21.680 They've been beat up, and they're one of those teams 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:26.000 that are definitely making their reservations for where they going 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.520 after the season because it's been due. It didn't turn 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.040 out anything like they thought it was. All I'm saying 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:33.960 is where we've been beat and where you've been pointing 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:37.240 to at the end of games. Is they outphysical to us? 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:39.680 They came to they came in. The Bills came in 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.600 last week, seventy nine, seventy three. God bless them. I 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:44.680 can't forget what they did to my defense and the 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:46.880 way that they were driving guys off the ball. I 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:52.159 don't think Miami has that. But with Raheem Moster, the 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:55.719 numbers are what you see. They still beat that Jets 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:59.679 team thirty to zero. Okay, Raheem Moster still has eighteen 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:03.120 touchd down on the season. He still is top five 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:06.080 as far as running back numbers. So you know, I 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:08.880 just don't think that the same bludgeting that you got 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:10.599 when you went to the You like that, I like 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:13.760 that that word. I don't think you go get that 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:17.039 beat up that same way with Miami. And this is 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:22.120 this is where where why it worries me because I 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:23.919 still leave out of that Buffalo game, and I know 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:25.680 we had the miss tackles, and I know you see 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:29.040 a few like plays where we did get out physical. 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.040 But to me, I just I just continue looking at 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.479 it and I continue remembering what I'm seeing on the defense, 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.160 and I don't and I don't see it being as 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:42.719 much as a out physical than a miss assignments and 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.240 not in the right places and playing discipline football and 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:47.720 that and that is on offense as well with the 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.240 penalties on defense, with the penalties, but as far as 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:54.160 when you're talking about like playing against the Shanahan type 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:57.719 of offense, where like a lot of pulling guards, there's 0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:59.920 gonna be a lot of misdirection with the eyes and god, 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.279 it's really gonna have to be gap sound. You have 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:05.240 to have real good gap integrity in order not to 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.400 in order to keep moster and a chain out of 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:11.839 the end zone. We have not done that this season, 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:14.440 Like we haven't done it when we came up against 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.599 a team that specializes in running the football with a 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:20.800 bunch of different type of concepts, we haven't found ourselves 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.640 able to be able to stop them. And that's San 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:28.240 fran didn't stop them, Arizona couldn't stop them. Now we 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:31.040 got Buffalo couldn't stop them because Joe Brady came in 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.360 with that same type of style. Man, we're gonna pull guards, 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:35.480 pull tackles, and we're gonna confuse these guys and make 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:37.560 them late. And now we got Miami come and do 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:39.240 the same thing. So I think that's what makes me 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:43.279 more nervous about this one because it was like really 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:44.560 put on notice last week. 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:47.080 So we just go look at this just stacked, and 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:48.920 I know we can make stats to do whatever we want. 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:53.320 But offensive leaders total yards Miami number one, San Francisco 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:57.080 number two, Detroit number three, Buffalo number four, passing Miami 0:06:57.160 --> 0:07:01.200 number one, San Francisco number two, Kansas City three, Detroit 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:05.400 number four, rushing Baltimore number one, Detroit number two, San 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:10.680 Francisco number three, Miami number four. When I talk about 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:15.240 you know they the style worries me. We know they 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.280 don't match up well against the forty nine ers. This 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:23.800 team is offensively taken from the San Francisco forty nine ers. 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:26.160 And so that's why I look at this and I 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:27.520 kind of just go back to what I did at 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:29.240 the beginning of the year and not staying true to 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:32.000 it last week. I had these two losses on the 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:36.520 road in December as losses, and right now without Hankins 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.840 there and what we saw from Masie or not enough, 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:43.080 what we saw from Mozi, how do they get this fixed? 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.720 I think fourteen and thirty three for the Cowboys. Defensively, 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:50.040 this is a tough matchup and I'm not necessarily blaming. Now, 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:51.960 these are guys you're expecting to be backups who are 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:55.240 thrust into some starting roles. Maybe dan Quinn could fix 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:59.240 some stuff, but right now, the old Parcels line, all 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:00.160 I can go by is one I. 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:03.720 See and I believe what you're saying. And I wanted 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:06.200 to go kind of pull back a little bit and 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:09.000 just say, in the four losses that we've had this season, 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:11.880 they've been because we have been out physical at the 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.840 line of scrimmage seven hundred and sixty seven yards rushing 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.800 in those four losses, and you come up against like 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.880 you talk about a Miami team that has the ability 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:23.520 to run the ball based off of those numbers that 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:26.200 you see, I just feel as though, as a defensive front, 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.080 especially when I go back to Gains versus Philly, are 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:32.040 other teams or opponents that had a physical running style. 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:36.000 You still have the compensity of the ability to stop 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:37.160 teams from running on you. 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:38.679 You've shown that you can do that. 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:41.679 Now here's another opportunity for you do it, because again, 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.520 if you don't stop it, you're definitely gonna get. 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:48.200 It the week after next, and then after that you're. 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.600 Gonna get it the first week in the playoffs as well, 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:54.560 So it's not as if we have to stop the run. 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:57.880 And I think that's right because I think the question is, though, 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.160 have we been able to really stop a team who 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.079 said they were going to come in and they've been 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.600 a top five running team and we turned them into 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:06.400 a team that did not look like a top five 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.040 running team? This is over the last three years. Have 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:12.640 we faced the team where we knew coming into the game, 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:14.920 this is the type of game it's going to be, 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:17.840 this is the type of scheme and the type of 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.600 run concepts that you were going to face, and then 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:22.840 we come out of the game saying, oh, yeah, yeah, 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:26.600 I feel real good about where we at defensively, defensive 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:29.319 line wise, and on our second level with our linebackers. 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:32.240 Have we had that over the last couple of years. 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.280 That's a good question. That's a good question, and not 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:38.200 knowing the answer to that, I do know that you've 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:40.240 been You've had two twelve back to back twelve and 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:42.720 five seasons. In those twelve and five seasons, you've played 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:46.240 teams that had a running style or at least try 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.320 to and came into the game with the game plan 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:50.680 to run the ball. On you right now, we're looking 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.560 at a San Francisco and saying, Okay, this is what 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:56.920 gives us trumble blockers getting to the second level blocking 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.040 guys in the run scheme and the run fit. And 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:02.000 if you're pointing to that and saying, Okay, Miami is 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.920 a mirror image of San Francisco and this is what 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:07.000 they're gonna try and do to you, I think, based 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.760 off of personnel, I say they can't. 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.480 Who can't that they can't do it to us Miami. 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:15.720 I'm gonna put my hand right here and I'm gonna 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:17.240 say we not gonna stop them running the ball. 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:17.560 Okay. 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.760 Then that's that is that's the challenge this week because 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:23.760 as and I'm making my case because there's no way 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:25.880 that dan Quinn is sitting over there in his office 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:29.120 seeing that teams are playing him this way and not saying, Okay, 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:31.600 we gotta load up and do everything that we possibly 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:33.439 can to stop it. Because if it's gonna be and 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:35.480 dan Quinn, we trust, we can't be talking out of 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:38.000 both sides our neck saying that they can't stop the run. 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:39.960 Well no, but we've been saying this. I've been trusting 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:41.360 to dan Quinn for years and we ain't been able 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:43.360 to stop the run. Like you come out of the 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:45.400 San Francisco game two years ago saying, hey man, we 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:46.800 need to figure out a way to stop the run. 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.199 We got we got our physical on defense a little bit, 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.240 but we need to get better. You go in there 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.520 and you draft a guy in the first round because 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.920 you play San Francisco and you're like, hey man, we 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.640 still we still haven't buttoned that up. We still are 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:00.280 not a team who we can get it there and 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.120 stop the run when we need to. And then this 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:03.920 year you come out and I think, what third game 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:04.760 of the seasons taken again? 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:05.560 What Arizona? 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.440 You give up two hundred you play, you play San 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.640 Francisco again, the team that you built now your defense 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:13.760 to be able to stop, and they put up almost 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:15.199 two hundred on you. And then you come out and 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:18.439 give up another two hundred yards against the Buffalo Bills. 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:20.880 Where you line up in that game and you say, Okay, 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.559 the weather's gonna be x right, They're gonna try to 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:25.640 run the ball. We tried to run four three, we 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:27.640 tried to run five two. We tried to run everything 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.200 we possibly could, and no matter what we threw at them. 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:32.959 We couldn't stop them. Yeah, we couldn't. We couldn't get 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:33.240 it done. 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:36.160 So I trust in dan Quinn being able to put 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.160 his guys in position to make plays when they need 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.920 him to, but he still hasn't shown me that, Hey man, 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:42.600 this defense is a defense that can get out there 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.040 and stop the run, which words me in the playoffs, 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:47.480 but also worries me about these next two games as well, 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:49.280 because these teams are gonna sit down and say, man, 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:50.840 we're gonna run the ball til you stop it, and 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:53.720 then that's nothing to hang your hat on. There's nothing 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:55.439 to hang your hat on. There's nothing as far as 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:58.560 this defensive defensive identity that you can say, all right, 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:00.200 we're gonna go into games and were gonna be they 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:01.920 were gonna beat them based off of the fact that 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:03.720 we do this pass rush. 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:05.640 That's why to me now it's DAK. 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:07.760 It's coming out of coming out of by week with 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:09.600 the way that the offense has been rolling. 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:12.120 It's on DAK. Right, can we get a league? 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.320 Can we play from ahead and then we allow our 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.080 pass rushes to get in there and make those type 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:19.719 of players to where Stephan Gilmore and dron Bland are 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.679 in position and didn't get turnovers, because that's when we 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:24.720 play our best, when we're playing from ahead and Michael 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.400 Parsons and d Law and Odiggy Zoo and all those guys. 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:29.679 Can get out there and rush. You're right, No, you're right. 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:33.440 I'm saying that worries me though, Like that worries me 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.280 from now all the way up into whoever we facing 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:39.240 the playoffs when we get there to say, are we 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.960 able to then do that? Can we fix it in 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:43.280 a week? I don't know we could fix it in 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:45.120 a week. I'm sorry, go ahead, No, No, This. 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:46.960 Is this is interesting because it's made me dive more 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:50.240 more into the just the rushing totals. Just looking at Okay, 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:53.880 who beat you this year? The top eight teams in rushing, 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:57.040 The Cowboys have lost to all of them. I mean, 0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.280 she's lost that. Their losses have been to teams we've 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.920 all been in the top. So you've lost to San Francisco, 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:05.800 you lost to Arizona, you lost the Buffalo, you lost 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:09.120 to Philly. If you can run on them, you can 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:11.880 beat them. This is this is the secret sauce. And 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:15.640 then on the flip side of that comes into all right, 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:18.160 you're running on them. You're getting a lead and they're 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:20.280 not getting a lead on you. So you're able to 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:22.520 go ahead and run in the past when the Cowboys 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:24.040 and be able to get up on either. Take it 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:25.800 away that ability for you to just kind of be 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.640 patient and run the ball. But this is I'm just 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.520 looking at trends, you know, if I was doing the 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:34.040 financial analysis right now and I'm looking at the run defense, 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:37.200 and I'm like, okay, this this week, it's a problem 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:41.040 because it fits right into the blueprints of how you 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:42.839 beat the Dallas Cowboys. 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:43.640 On the road. 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:46.240 Okay, beat them on the road, get them at your spot, 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:50.240 run the ball on them, got shot, and and this 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.719 is Vegas having them as a as a one and 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:56.360 a half to two point underdog. Right now, I feel 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.880 like this is legitimate and until they show me the 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:03.440 can stop this. And it's not just Dan Quinn telling 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:05.640 me that, Okay, you know, we weren't signing to Mary's 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:07.959 here where our secret sauce was, and the mistackles and 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:09.760 we got to clean up get ready to go. I 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:12.920 gotta see it because I can't trust him. 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:16.000 No, and I'm not asking I'm not asking for anybody 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:17.920 to trust because you don't have any time proof or 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:20.440 consistency when it comes down to that, because the teams 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:22.960 that you just mentioned have all beat them in Miami 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:25.000 is the other team that you haven't mentioned that we 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:28.000 hadn't played yet, right, that is in that number and 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:31.000 Detroit and Detroit and Detroit, and so again you come 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.040 up against teams that you know what they're gonna do. 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.080 We talked about it last week versus the Bills. 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.480 What did you say, if if we take this game 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:41.400 out of Josh Allen's hands, we are in what trumbt 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:44.240 in trouble? We're in trouble. And if you said, hey, 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:46.680 if he's sitting back, he's not having to throw the 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:48.760 ball and all that's counting on is just running the ball, 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:52.160 then we're having a long day. Already, I'm saying coming 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.200 into this Miami game, you already know what they're gonna do. 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:56.480 The game plan for Miami A h. Let's throw the 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:58.560 ball to Tarick Hill, who has a high ankle spring 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:01.840 twenty five times doing it. That's gonna give Raheem Moster and 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:03.760 a chain't the ball. They gonna run the ball to 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:05.200 try and take the air out of the ball. To 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:07.320 take that keep him on the sideline. 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.280 Yeah, and I know they're gonna do that. And and 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:11.800 the thing that gets me is. 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.360 Every year we've come out saying the same thing, like 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:18.480 we go drafted, like we literally go draft a defensive 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.240 tackle with all whatever needs we got out there, we 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:23.360 go draft the defensive tackle in the first round because 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:25.960 you know that we need to figure out how to 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:28.640 stop the run better and we still haven't been able 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:30.400 to do it. And then after you play a team 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:33.120 like Arizona you could chalk it up to trap game 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:36.200 or whatever. Then you play a San Francisco team where 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.320 you get you get beat up in the run game 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:41.360 at that at that point, at that point you say, Okay, 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:43.440 you know the team is going back and watching the 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:45.040 film and they getting it in their mind that a, 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:47.760 we need to be better at this uh, at this 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.560 point on defense whatever. And then you get out there 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.960 and you play the Buffalo Bills after knowing that that 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:55.760 is going to be the case. And where you kind 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:57.360 of stumbled at at the beginning of the season where 0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:00.160 you had two chances and you didn't do quite well. 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.400 Now you have another opportunity and you can't figure it 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:06.240 out the entire game, like how to get it done? 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:08.240 Is what makes me wonder, like, well. 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:11.360 Can we can we because you knew it was all 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:13.560 all there last week and then the last time you 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:15.440 played in the run game, like you knew that this 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:17.560 is what you needed to stop them from doing, and 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:19.640 we know it this week, So we have another, like 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:22.480 I said, another test to where if we get beat 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.400 up this week, this is bigger than the test. 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:26.400 This is bigger to me. 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:28.640 This is bigger than the test because if you fail this, 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:31.520 this is ultimately your Achilles hill. Like you said, for 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:33.960 the years, I've been saying the same thing. We've got 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.000 to plug up this hole you slash year in the 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.240 green Bay game green Bay, we took the ball out 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:40.120 of Aaron Rodgers's hand, and what they do They put 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:41.480 it into the hands they're running back. 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:43.040 That exposed our defense. 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:45.560 You can't continue to live this narrative and even have 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:49.280 any expectations of playing in any postseason anything. 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.400 So yeah, I'm that. Don't mean I'm picking the Dolphins 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:54.000 or nothing new. 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:58.040 He just we know you and Barry most likely are 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:01.920 picking the Miami Southeast Dolphins this week, all right, But 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:04.080 me and Heck, actually I don't even know if Heck 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:10.560 gonna pick y'all lay go to West Palm.

Was that's when we start 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.760 talking to you know, takeovers.

That's a 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:44.000 lot of guys that do them, Like you said, Juvis 0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:44.520 was really good. 0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:49.639 But it was good too. Yes, give me theer in 0:21:49.680 --> 0:21:50.200 the back. 0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:58.040 At least, I mean they dels, I mean they are good. 0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:00.960 But the one scar Fae this was good man. It 0:22:01.040 --> 0:22:05.240 was just like, I mean just just literally I some 0:22:05.280 --> 0:22:07.600 of these. I watched them like, you should just go 0:22:07.640 --> 0:22:10.159 ahead and record that as an album, just making I 0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:13.959 would buy it on a iTunes' right. It was is 0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:14.400 that good? 0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:17.000 I think I think Scarfaces the way they the way 0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:20.639 that they played the music behind it actually like really 0:22:20.720 --> 0:22:24.200 made it more poetic, like it was like a poetry reading. 0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:27.520 And then the way that he was doing doing crazis 0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:30.240 too as well, was it was more poetry than it 0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:32.680 was the music that you hear when you just riding. 0:22:32.800 --> 0:22:33.159 I got that. 0:22:33.440 --> 0:22:36.800 I got literally got that same feeling because you know, 0:22:36.920 --> 0:22:38.959 never seen the man cry away the way that he 0:22:39.040 --> 0:22:41.040 performed it and the way that I remember it when 0:22:41.080 --> 0:22:44.280 it first released, I'm like, nah, dog, it wasn't This 0:22:44.480 --> 0:22:49.840 wasn't no smoking words, the rap at its finest. I mean, 0:22:49.880 --> 0:22:52.359 and anybody know when the Ghetto Boys first came out, 0:22:52.440 --> 0:22:55.639 mind playing tricks on everything. I mean, it's been these 0:22:55.680 --> 0:22:58.480 guys are cultural icons. But the Tiny Death Series man's 0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:00.399 just bringing it all back. But then you get to 0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:03.639 see guys that you have school, you done got old, 0:23:04.800 --> 0:23:06.520 you done got old with guys like this, and you 0:23:06.600 --> 0:23:08.800 realize that you know, talent, don't get old. 0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:09.000 Man. 0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:11.560 He still has it, he still has that voice. But 0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:13.200 you're right, man, I enjoyed it. 0:23:13.200 --> 0:23:16.640 It's storytelling, and that's that's that's what made it so good. 0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:18.800 Let me tell you this story about how I got 0:23:18.880 --> 0:23:22.040 to this song and then and the man sitting there 0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:24.160 next to him, and they just there was true vibing 0:23:24.280 --> 0:23:26.919 and v H v H one used to have a 0:23:26.960 --> 0:23:29.800 thing called Storytellers, and I remember the one they did 0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:32.480 with Kanye West from the eight Away and the Heartbreaks 0:23:32.760 --> 0:23:35.000 and just him being able to tell the stories of 0:23:35.040 --> 0:23:38.679 how he got there and just going live, having the 0:23:39.119 --> 0:23:41.080 having the band there. It was just it was it 0:23:41.119 --> 0:23:42.640 was good telling me. I'm sitting at my desk, man, 0:23:42.760 --> 0:23:43.720 I need the tissue. 0:23:43.720 --> 0:23:45.720 Man. It was just like, this is jay Z needs 0:23:45.760 --> 0:23:47.760 to do one. Jay Z, I know he too big 0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:50.040 for it, but come on, now he'll do You think 0:23:50.080 --> 0:23:52.720 he'll do one? Hey, man, it gets andre three thousand 0:23:52.800 --> 0:23:53.080 to do it. 0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:53.520 Man, Because this. 0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:02.000 Setting the bar on these things. I don't. 0:24:02.040 --> 0:24:02.359 I don't. 0:24:02.400 --> 0:24:05.240 I don't know. When you step in there, man, the 0:24:05.280 --> 0:24:06.680 bar is high for these things you can't. 0:24:06.720 --> 0:24:09.080 Jay Z won't be able to miss. Yet. 0:24:09.119 --> 0:24:13.399 He got so much, so much with for Real and Timberland, Like, 0:24:13.480 --> 0:24:16.840 there's so many different type of sounds that you could 0:24:16.840 --> 0:24:18.280 put noops, it's just. 0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:21.160 The m TV unplugged you did with Sensational. So if 0:24:21.160 --> 0:24:22.280 he even did anything, that's. 0:24:22.160 --> 0:24:23.920 That's tiny desk before tiny desk, right. 0:24:24.080 --> 0:24:26.159 If he did that, that would be phenomenal. I do 0:24:26.240 --> 0:24:28.120 want to see Uh, I do want to see Joe 0:24:28.359 --> 0:24:28.840 get up in there. 0:24:29.280 --> 0:24:32.840 No, you don't. Don't do that to my boy. Can't 0:24:32.840 --> 0:24:34.240 see it, Jojo. It ain't the same. 0:24:34.400 --> 0:24:39.679 Sometimes brother go off telling get Sometimes no, no Danny. 0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:40.920 Sometimes you get a bad back. 0:24:44.359 --> 0:24:46.920 Sometimes sometimes you gotta lead apart. 0:24:48.960 --> 0:24:52.120 They cleaned up the boys from Monroe, North Carolina clean 0:24:52.240 --> 0:24:54.560 up and this would be good. I know what you're 0:24:54.560 --> 0:24:59.639 trying to say, make differences. Yeah, we don't need some time. 0:25:00.240 --> 0:25:03.600 So but if so good. 0:25:06.320 --> 0:25:09.200 Let's tucky cowboys here on players loude and towards the 0:25:09.240 --> 0:25:12.479 players loud, we do get off on. This is what 0:25:12.520 --> 0:25:15.560 the players and music is. Music is very much what 0:25:15.640 --> 0:25:19.840 players are about here. And of course scar faces from Houston, Dannytown. 0:25:19.960 --> 0:25:22.320 So you know we must give him, give him props there. 0:25:23.040 --> 0:25:26.480 So someone had asked me today, a coach. He says, 0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:29.520 how come they will go put Michael Parsons linebacker, considering 0:25:29.560 --> 0:25:33.119 that you've got Bell and Clark having their issues and 0:25:33.119 --> 0:25:35.359 their smaller guys, why not just move him back to 0:25:35.359 --> 0:25:38.560 that level? And I said, that's it, that's it. That's 0:25:38.600 --> 0:25:41.520 an interesting question. And dan Quinn was asked about that 0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:44.320 this week with meeting with the media. So I think 0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:47.560 that's something they'll they'll have to think about, especially this 0:25:47.640 --> 0:25:50.840 week with the speed of a chan and and moster's 0:25:50.880 --> 0:25:54.199 ability to to run in and outside. So how they 0:25:54.240 --> 0:25:56.399 employed Michael this week, to me, that'll be a very 0:25:56.440 --> 0:25:57.160 interesting guy. 0:25:58.720 --> 0:26:00.200 I don't think that's a good match. 0:26:03.720 --> 0:26:07.280 The things that we are feeling at doing, Like how 0:26:07.280 --> 0:26:09.800 long has it been since Michael Parsons is actually. 0:26:09.480 --> 0:26:10.760 Practiced doing those things? 0:26:11.600 --> 0:26:14.159 So I don't know how much of an improvement you 0:26:14.200 --> 0:26:18.040 will be able to see, just like, hey, listen, yeah, 0:26:18.119 --> 0:26:20.199 y'all not doing well enough, let's do Michael back here, 0:26:20.200 --> 0:26:21.359 and then all of a sudden, all this stuff is 0:26:21.400 --> 0:26:25.399 gonna be fixed. When like he's specializing right now in 0:26:25.440 --> 0:26:28.000 past rushing, he's still a difference maker. They're just finding 0:26:28.040 --> 0:26:29.679 ways to make sure they take him out of the 0:26:29.680 --> 0:26:32.639 play read option, making sure that he has the pause 0:26:32.680 --> 0:26:34.600 a little bit so he's not able to then go 0:26:34.680 --> 0:26:37.640 chase down and running back. Like these offensive coordinators are 0:26:37.800 --> 0:26:41.240 really creative making sure that number eleven is not a 0:26:41.280 --> 0:26:43.840 part of the game as much as possible. I don't 0:26:43.840 --> 0:26:46.520 see I don't see it being a big improvement to 0:26:46.560 --> 0:26:49.480 moving him back to the linebacker position. These young guys 0:26:49.520 --> 0:26:51.199 need to figure out how to get it done so 0:26:51.280 --> 0:26:53.760 Michael Parsons, when it counts, can then still be in 0:26:53.800 --> 0:26:57.399 the position where he makes the most impact. But it 0:26:57.520 --> 0:26:59.520 is tough. It is tough when you see the way 0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:02.400 that with the way that the second level is struggling. 0:27:02.760 --> 0:27:06.480 You know, Micah is such a weapon that Dan Quinn 0:27:06.560 --> 0:27:08.720 obviously in the off season said, look, I got a 0:27:08.720 --> 0:27:10.520 way I want to use him. I'm gonna put him 0:27:10.520 --> 0:27:11.960 out here on the edge and I'm gonna make every 0:27:12.040 --> 0:27:15.760 right tackle have nightmares about him coming down because how 0:27:15.840 --> 0:27:19.359 quick he is and his impact. You see immediately teams 0:27:19.400 --> 0:27:21.960 having to scheme up for him. And that's why you say, 0:27:22.240 --> 0:27:25.359 guys like o Sadigizul, guys like Darence Armstrong, guys like 0:27:25.400 --> 0:27:28.560 Tank Lawrence, this is better for you because now offenses 0:27:28.600 --> 0:27:31.000 are having to count for our man guy. When it 0:27:31.040 --> 0:27:34.000 doesn't work that way, you start questioning, like, Okay, what 0:27:34.040 --> 0:27:36.119 are teams doing to us and what are they recognizing 0:27:36.160 --> 0:27:39.680 in our scheme that's nullifying Michael Parsons and teams are saying. 0:27:39.480 --> 0:27:41.160 We're not gonna block them. 0:27:41.320 --> 0:27:43.280 Well, that's a hell of a strategy. 0:27:44.400 --> 0:27:46.800 When you can run it, that's a hell of a strategy, 0:27:47.000 --> 0:27:48.679 and then you have guys on the other side of 0:27:48.680 --> 0:27:51.120 your linebackers and Dumon Clark where you're saying, look, man, 0:27:51.160 --> 0:27:53.120 all you have to do now is scrape and read 0:27:53.200 --> 0:27:56.119 and go. Well, that's not working either, because now the 0:27:56.200 --> 0:27:57.760 chip block is getting to the second level. 0:27:57.840 --> 0:27:59.120 Doesn't matter if you're two forty. 0:27:58.920 --> 0:28:03.120 Two fifty whatever, You're still having to chip through linebackers 0:28:03.160 --> 0:28:06.920 for four quarters. And look, I don't know how if 0:28:06.920 --> 0:28:10.960 this is a byproduct of the Lve injury. Okay, I 0:28:11.080 --> 0:28:13.080 live with it, all right, But LV was there in 0:28:13.119 --> 0:28:15.800 Arizona two. You know, he was there for the full 0:28:16.200 --> 0:28:19.880 San Francisco forty nine ers game. Also, there just been 0:28:19.960 --> 0:28:22.400 times where it looked like, look, we were most vulnerable 0:28:22.440 --> 0:28:24.480 to teams that were going to out physical us, and 0:28:24.560 --> 0:28:26.280 we didn't have a guy at the second level that 0:28:26.320 --> 0:28:30.000 could get any stops. Right now, I think Michael gives 0:28:30.040 --> 0:28:32.639 you the best chance as what you said. 0:28:33.040 --> 0:28:33.760 Pass rushing. 0:28:34.160 --> 0:28:37.359 When we stopped the run and we make you one dimensional, 0:28:37.400 --> 0:28:40.560 Oh my god, we're coming after you. It's nothing else 0:28:40.560 --> 0:28:43.440 you could do about it. But then also when you're 0:28:43.520 --> 0:28:46.280 running away from Michael and he's chasing down the play 0:28:46.320 --> 0:28:49.120 from behind, then you're seeing the brilliance and that we 0:28:49.280 --> 0:28:52.160 haven't seen that happen. And I think now when you're 0:28:52.200 --> 0:28:54.400 seeing Michael run behind the player and the guy gets 0:28:54.440 --> 0:28:57.840 eight yards and he throws his hands up like what like, man, 0:28:57.880 --> 0:28:59.600 that's not the version of number eleven I want to 0:28:59.600 --> 0:29:00.200 see it. 0:29:00.480 --> 0:29:01.240 It's not positive. 0:29:01.280 --> 0:29:02.840 I think the good thing about it is you don't 0:29:02.840 --> 0:29:04.800 have Josh Allen the quarterback this week, so that every 0:29:04.800 --> 0:29:07.040 adoption won't have as much of an impact as it 0:29:07.080 --> 0:29:09.520 had last week because you don't have to defend I 0:29:09.520 --> 0:29:11.200 ain't running, you don't have to defend him like you 0:29:11.200 --> 0:29:12.960 had to defend Josh Allen. So I think that'll be 0:29:12.960 --> 0:29:15.080 a positive. But you still got to stop those base 0:29:15.160 --> 0:29:19.080 running place, those those base tackle trap pool counter. You 0:29:19.360 --> 0:29:21.040 still have to be able to stop those because if 0:29:21.080 --> 0:29:22.960 you don't, I think you'll see another game, like you 0:29:23.000 --> 0:29:25.200 said last week, where the quarterback ain't throwing it much 0:29:25.600 --> 0:29:27.840 and you know most of them a chain is taking 0:29:27.840 --> 0:29:29.120 turns on you. 0:29:29.400 --> 0:29:33.080 Micah spoke out against the media this week goes. 0:29:32.960 --> 0:29:35.240 Podcasts, your thoughts. 0:29:36.640 --> 0:29:38.720 It's one of those things for me, as we talked 0:29:38.720 --> 0:29:42.160 about the guys going into podcasting earlier, that you know, 0:29:42.200 --> 0:29:44.120 if it's a distraction from what you do. 0:29:44.200 --> 0:29:45.520 I don't want to see it. I don't want to 0:29:45.560 --> 0:29:46.400 hear about it. 0:29:46.440 --> 0:29:50.680 But sometimes man, it lacks maturity and I start to say, look, michaeh, 0:29:50.680 --> 0:29:52.520 it comes with the territory. As I've heard you and 0:29:52.640 --> 0:29:55.080 Battery say over and over again, doll, you're gonna wear 0:29:55.120 --> 0:29:56.480 that starting your helmet. 0:29:56.640 --> 0:29:57.680 You're gonna You're gonna. 0:29:57.480 --> 0:30:01.760 Face criticism and to try and escape it is crazy. 0:30:02.160 --> 0:30:04.680 You're not gonna escape it. Guys are always gonna criticize 0:30:04.720 --> 0:30:07.080 you even more because you play play for. 0:30:07.040 --> 0:30:07.960 The Dallas Cowboys. 0:30:07.960 --> 0:30:11.600 I think sometimes we learn things about guys through the 0:30:11.640 --> 0:30:15.480 media that we don't want to like. He just basically said, 0:30:15.560 --> 0:30:18.320 you know, it's older players like guys that used to 0:30:18.320 --> 0:30:21.200 play that don't want to see that are always talking 0:30:21.240 --> 0:30:25.680 down on Cowboys or the media always is up in 0:30:25.760 --> 0:30:28.600 an uproar every time the Cowboys lose, like they have 0:30:28.720 --> 0:30:31.200 nothing to talk about when the Cowboys are winning. But 0:30:31.240 --> 0:30:33.600 oh when the Cowboys lose, now you got a whole 0:30:33.600 --> 0:30:34.080 lot to say. 0:30:34.240 --> 0:30:38.880 And I'm paraphrasing it's Dan Orlovski and Shady McCoy after 0:30:38.920 --> 0:30:43.280 a Cowboy loss basically like see I told you or 0:30:43.320 --> 0:30:45.240 you know I think Shady said some kind of tweet like, 0:30:45.240 --> 0:30:47.040 oh there he is, there's my guy. I knew he 0:30:47.120 --> 0:30:51.280 come back about Dak and so Michael was sensitive to that. 0:30:53.200 --> 0:30:57.160 But if you're sensitive at go play in Cincinnati. 0:30:57.160 --> 0:31:00.000 Where nobody's gonna talk about it. 0:31:00.040 --> 0:31:04.760 That right, But do you want to play at twelve 0:31:04.760 --> 0:31:05.560 o'clock every week? 0:31:06.200 --> 0:31:09.360 Like I said, if you want that, go play in Cincinnati. 0:31:09.680 --> 0:31:12.040 If this is what, If this is what you want, 0:31:12.120 --> 0:31:14.360 If you don't want anyone to say anything about you, 0:31:15.360 --> 0:31:18.520 then you go playing places like that. But this is 0:31:18.560 --> 0:31:21.520 the cowboys. The media is going to talk about you. 0:31:23.800 --> 0:31:26.920 I've been lucky enough to cover the Lakers, been lucky 0:31:27.000 --> 0:31:29.200 enough to cover the Cab. I've covered you know with 0:31:29.400 --> 0:31:32.080 this is it? You get it, It's what it is, 0:31:32.920 --> 0:31:36.000 And yeah, you're right. Heck in some ways you're like, 0:31:36.040 --> 0:31:37.560 hey man, why are you doing a podcast? And you're 0:31:37.800 --> 0:31:40.000 putting you're putting a shining a light on yourself. But 0:31:40.880 --> 0:31:42.000 it's some guys are there. 0:31:42.040 --> 0:31:42.440 I mean a J. 0:31:42.600 --> 0:31:44.520 Brown I here fighting with with with Eagle fans on 0:31:44.600 --> 0:31:48.920 social media. It's like, brother, that's that's a group losing battle, right, 0:31:48.920 --> 0:31:51.640 that's a group. I don't they there all day? You 0:31:51.680 --> 0:31:55.240 are entertaining. You're making them feel good by you interacting 0:31:55.240 --> 0:31:58.080 with them. That's what they want. So but you're right, 0:31:58.120 --> 0:31:59.080 he's he's a young man. 0:32:00.120 --> 0:32:03.000 The issue, the issue that I have with it is 0:32:03.040 --> 0:32:08.400 that at some point, okay, it does get out of hand, 0:32:08.480 --> 0:32:11.880 right when you attacking guys. It's people, you know, like 0:32:11.920 --> 0:32:13.360 they personalized. 0:32:13.040 --> 0:32:17.840 Crazy address on Yeah, like that's like, like that's out 0:32:17.880 --> 0:32:19.960 of hand, right, But then there's also a point to 0:32:19.960 --> 0:32:22.400 where you got to be able to accept some criticism 0:32:22.920 --> 0:32:24.080 or just don't listen to it. 0:32:24.120 --> 0:32:25.920 If you go out there and you don't play bad 0:32:25.960 --> 0:32:28.960 and somebody points out what you did wrong and you 0:32:29.160 --> 0:32:31.920 not playing well, that is not them getting on you. 0:32:32.400 --> 0:32:34.760 That is them pointing out what happened in the game. 0:32:34.800 --> 0:32:36.840 Because their job is to show the people who the 0:32:37.040 --> 0:32:40.760 ordinary fan who doesn't know what's going on, to show them, Hey, yeah, 0:32:41.280 --> 0:32:43.560 the reason why I'm saying he's having a bad season 0:32:43.920 --> 0:32:47.200 is because this is why he's having a bad season, 0:32:47.320 --> 0:32:49.200 versus hey man, you're gonna go out here and to 0:32:49.280 --> 0:32:50.960 take the dude character or do all that type of 0:32:51.000 --> 0:32:53.280 stuff that's wrong. But then people do have to be 0:32:53.280 --> 0:32:55.520 able to say, ay man, I know the game of football. 0:32:55.680 --> 0:32:57.400 This is why this team ain't doing good. 0:32:57.960 --> 0:33:00.040 And you have to know when you don't walk in 0:33:00.080 --> 0:33:03.280 to the Spiders Web. I don't know about you, but 0:33:03.320 --> 0:33:07.840 I get updates on my phone from ESPN, and when 0:33:07.840 --> 0:33:12.000 the Cowboys lose, within an hour or so, there's an 0:33:12.080 --> 0:33:14.200 update on my phone from Steven A. Smith with a 0:33:14.280 --> 0:33:19.960 video and it's some kind of I tried to tell you, like. 0:33:20.040 --> 0:33:24.640 I don't get home. You know, He's like, it's comedic. 0:33:24.520 --> 0:33:27.480 Right, So I don't click on it. I can't stop 0:33:27.560 --> 0:33:30.120 it from coming because I've signed on for Cowboy alerts, 0:33:30.200 --> 0:33:32.000 so you make sure the stuff from Todd Archer and 0:33:32.440 --> 0:33:35.080 from ESPN. But anyway, that's what you get. You know 0:33:35.080 --> 0:33:37.920 what's coming. So if you're Michael Parson and you know 0:33:38.000 --> 0:33:40.760 you lose, you got to know what's coming, and you 0:33:40.840 --> 0:33:44.160 know already know who the actors are that are going 0:33:44.200 --> 0:33:47.960 to come at you. I'm sorry, you have to deal 0:33:48.000 --> 0:33:50.080 with it, and to me, I just tak the top 0:33:50.080 --> 0:33:52.000 of my head. And maybe you guys have someone different, 0:33:52.640 --> 0:33:57.640 But I think Eli Manning is the best I've ever 0:33:57.680 --> 0:34:02.960 seen it handling a hostile media environment because he was 0:34:03.000 --> 0:34:07.080 there in New York and he had issues a lot 0:34:07.080 --> 0:34:09.000 of times. Despite the two years that he won the 0:34:09.000 --> 0:34:11.200 Super Bowls. A lot of people how we look. You 0:34:11.239 --> 0:34:14.439 remember the Eli face and you're not your brother and 0:34:14.520 --> 0:34:16.200 you think you're too good to go play for the Charger. 0:34:16.440 --> 0:34:20.799 This guy took a lot, a lot, and Eli did 0:34:20.800 --> 0:34:24.160 a very nice job in my opinion, of not feeding 0:34:24.600 --> 0:34:27.399 and walking into that web. Michael walked straight into it, 0:34:28.000 --> 0:34:29.719 trying to fight his way out. You can't fight. 0:34:30.239 --> 0:34:32.160 I didn't grow up in an era where there was 0:34:32.160 --> 0:34:34.799 a twenty four hour news cycle on sports, and I 0:34:34.800 --> 0:34:38.640 think that's the difference too. It's round o'clock, it never ends. 0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:40.120 If you get up three o'clock in the morning one 0:34:40.120 --> 0:34:42.160 watch something sports news wise, you. 0:34:42.080 --> 0:34:42.880 Can go and do that. 0:34:42.960 --> 0:34:46.080 And now you have more access and especially through social media, 0:34:46.360 --> 0:34:47.040 gods think. 0:34:46.880 --> 0:34:48.200 They could do what Danny McRae did. 0:34:48.719 --> 0:34:51.719 You know you think you think you could walk that 0:34:52.000 --> 0:34:55.200 undrafted free agent mile to make a career in the NFL. 0:34:55.320 --> 0:34:56.279 Good luck with that. 0:34:56.719 --> 0:34:59.319 You know it's and I'm saying that to say that 0:34:59.440 --> 0:35:02.960 now that the casual fan has access to you directly, 0:35:03.080 --> 0:35:06.160 and I can insult you to get a response from you. 0:35:06.800 --> 0:35:09.040 Now I got you, because now I know what how 0:35:09.040 --> 0:35:11.360 you operate. All I gotta do is insult you. And 0:35:11.440 --> 0:35:13.040 so that's the same thing that I feel like from 0:35:13.080 --> 0:35:15.160 Steven A and some of these other guys. I'm gonna 0:35:15.160 --> 0:35:18.400 get you respond because I'm gonna throw a rock and 0:35:18.440 --> 0:35:20.719 I'm gonna say, oh, this person sucks, he's no good, 0:35:20.800 --> 0:35:23.080 even though I played the position, even though I. 0:35:23.080 --> 0:35:24.480 Know how hard it is. 0:35:24.520 --> 0:35:26.399 At this point of these guys, that's not a miss 0:35:26.440 --> 0:35:28.440 to these guys, that's any given Sunday. 0:35:28.480 --> 0:35:28.840 They know. 0:35:29.440 --> 0:35:31.720 And it doesn't matter if you attack a guy's characters 0:35:31.719 --> 0:35:35.000 that were you didn't do nothing that he has you 0:35:35.239 --> 0:35:37.239 because you walked into his web. And that's what I 0:35:37.280 --> 0:35:40.279 wish Michael Parsons wouldn't do, because the kid man, he 0:35:40.440 --> 0:35:41.160 is awesome. 0:35:41.440 --> 0:35:42.960 I think he's one of the best. He can be 0:35:43.000 --> 0:35:44.040 one of the best to do it. 0:35:44.160 --> 0:35:47.719 And he's giving up his power having a podcast displaying 0:35:47.800 --> 0:35:50.440 his emotions on what somebody else is saying. And I'm 0:35:50.440 --> 0:35:52.440 not one of those shut up and dribble you know, 0:35:52.600 --> 0:35:54.799 I'm not saying that. I'm just saying, dog, you a go. 0:35:55.320 --> 0:35:57.000 You don't even have to address this guy. 0:35:57.040 --> 0:35:58.799 It's a lesson you have to learn. 0:35:59.320 --> 0:36:02.360 Can we agree that, Like listen, before a lot of 0:36:02.360 --> 0:36:04.960 these people got on the team Steven they've been doing 0:36:05.040 --> 0:36:07.799 this with the cowboy. It is obviously a joke and 0:36:07.840 --> 0:36:11.040 a troll, Like isn't obviously that Steven Ay has come 0:36:11.080 --> 0:36:13.280 here and done your release with him. 0:36:13.160 --> 0:36:15.279 And Jerry are cool, you know what I'm saying. 0:36:15.360 --> 0:36:18.040 So so to take that as a like, oh, Stephen 0:36:18.040 --> 0:36:22.000 Ain taking personal shots at the cables, it's his thing, bro, 0:36:22.239 --> 0:36:24.600 it may not be so much. It's been that way 0:36:24.840 --> 0:36:27.399 before you even got here. So they personal gets you 0:36:27.800 --> 0:36:30.520 because before you as a cowboy and after you a cowboy, 0:36:30.640 --> 0:36:33.040 he's gonna be doing the same thing. That's the type 0:36:33.040 --> 0:36:34.799 of stuff. And you're like, why are you getting mad 0:36:34.840 --> 0:36:37.680 at this dude? You know, like you said, you know 0:36:37.719 --> 0:36:40.560 he's gonna do it. You know he's gonna do it, 0:36:41.320 --> 0:36:43.400 and then him and Jerry gonna have a conversation about it. 0:36:43.400 --> 0:36:46.919 He's gonna be out here on the plaza doing doing 0:36:47.000 --> 0:36:47.560 first take. 0:36:48.280 --> 0:36:51.200 So Danny mccra is able to speak, is this as 0:36:51.239 --> 0:36:56.359 a retired player, a father, are you right?

But then there is 0:37:17.880 --> 0:37:19.520 a point where you got to step back and be like, 0:37:20.160 --> 0:37:22.440 this dude, I don't even know what this dude looks like. 0:37:22.680 --> 0:37:24.600 This is it got an egg as an avatar.

I am 0:41:00.880 --> 0:41:04.120 new he struck. So before we get into the Cowboys 0:41:04.120 --> 0:41:06.120 and Zach Martin, I did want to touch on did 0:41:06.120 --> 0:41:08.839 you see where Steel the receiver George Pickings came out 0:41:08.880 --> 0:41:11.759 and say the reason he didn't he didn't block for 0:41:11.880 --> 0:41:15.120 Jalen Warren because he didn't want to get hurt. 0:41:15.239 --> 0:41:17.160 Didn't even know what to do, was right there. Yea, 0:41:17.840 --> 0:41:19.640 you got to go watch the film. He did come 0:41:19.680 --> 0:41:22.319 up with a plan before you did you go on, like, hey, 0:41:22.320 --> 0:41:22.960 did you watch it? 0:41:24.600 --> 0:41:28.960 There's no way so between deonat Johnson and George you 0:41:29.000 --> 0:41:29.960 know what's about to happen. 0:41:29.760 --> 0:41:32.120 In Pittsburgh, right, Well, they clean house. 0:41:32.960 --> 0:41:35.839 The receiver coach, won't we need? Yeah, the head coach 0:41:35.880 --> 0:41:39.200 has a good chance of returning because of the consistency 0:41:39.200 --> 0:41:45.040 of the organization. But uh yeah, I have the receiver coach. Man, 0:41:45.160 --> 0:41:47.600 this dude's done. I don't even know what name. I 0:41:48.400 --> 0:41:49.279 saw a picture on one time. 0:41:49.760 --> 0:41:52.960 I hated for coaches that get fired for stuff like 0:41:53.000 --> 0:41:55.520 that too. Of like, you know, I told you not. 0:41:55.560 --> 0:41:56.160 To do that. 0:41:56.600 --> 0:41:59.279 You know, I came in here day in and day 0:41:59.320 --> 0:42:01.480 out and told you a man finished the block. 0:42:01.600 --> 0:42:04.040 Okay, we are a blocking ride receiver room. 0:42:04.400 --> 0:42:06.320 And then you turn on the film and then everybody 0:42:06.320 --> 0:42:08.120 start talking about that one play and it's like, well, 0:42:08.120 --> 0:42:09.040 somebody got to take. 0:42:08.880 --> 0:42:10.800 The fall for that. That's a bonehead. 0:42:11.000 --> 0:42:13.560 That's a boneheaded thing to say, though, you know, it's 0:42:13.600 --> 0:42:14.840 really just just kind of stupid. 0:42:14.840 --> 0:42:17.000 Well then he went, yeah, I don't want to be 0:42:17.000 --> 0:42:18.040 a Tankdale situation. 0:42:19.600 --> 0:42:20.080 Come on, he. 0:42:20.040 --> 0:42:22.560 Ain't even get out the way. Like, if that's the case, 0:42:22.640 --> 0:42:24.080 go ahead, dry your man. Through the back of the 0:42:24.120 --> 0:42:25.080 end zone and get out the way. 0:42:26.640 --> 0:42:33.719 I'm just listening to all that. Somebody tell you to 0:42:33.800 --> 0:42:35.640 lock him and say, hey man, I'm gonna tell them 0:42:35.719 --> 0:42:38.000 what you think. We run by you before I go down. 0:42:39.360 --> 0:42:43.560 Cousin somebody, cousins, family members. 0:42:43.280 --> 0:42:46.719 And the like tankdal comes, you'll be like Tank. 0:42:47.239 --> 0:42:49.680 You see what happened to Tank? Yeah, I'm on Bro, 0:42:50.880 --> 0:42:53.279 be better. That's bad ball. Now, that's bad ball. And 0:42:53.480 --> 0:42:55.839 the thing is they have this thing called the stealer way, 0:42:56.080 --> 0:42:59.280 and them people they don't have they have long memories 0:42:59.280 --> 0:43:00.120 for stuff like that. 0:43:00.040 --> 0:43:02.400 That man, and it's it's unfortunate. 0:43:02.520 --> 0:43:05.560 It's unfortunate for him because obviously he's a young talent 0:43:05.640 --> 0:43:09.120 that everybody's recognized that this guy can be outstanding if 0:43:09.160 --> 0:43:11.279 they can find somebody to get him the ball. It's 0:43:11.280 --> 0:43:14.280 been a frustrating year for still his receivers. But stuff 0:43:14.320 --> 0:43:17.680 like that, that is just they don't just don't. They 0:43:17.680 --> 0:43:18.480 don't do things like that. 0:43:18.600 --> 0:43:21.040 It's hard Adam Henry and get him from Buffalo, do 0:43:21.120 --> 0:43:24.080 something because they get there be a new wide receiver. 0:43:24.320 --> 0:43:26.200 You can shake back from Himo, because I remember Zeke 0:43:26.200 --> 0:43:28.359 shook back from his when that. I think they threw 0:43:28.400 --> 0:43:30.480 the interception and then they got him walking on the uh, 0:43:30.680 --> 0:43:32.480 walking on the field instead of chasing it down. 0:43:32.680 --> 0:43:33.080 Nobody. 0:43:33.480 --> 0:43:35.799 What you remember Zeke for now is up there with 0:43:35.840 --> 0:43:38.719 New England going to make a game save and tackle. Uh, 0:43:38.920 --> 0:43:41.080 you know, having the biggest game of his of his 0:43:41.239 --> 0:43:44.000 year that game. So I think he'll be all right. 0:43:44.000 --> 0:43:45.880 But yeah, ever I receive it comes, Yeah, yeah, they 0:43:45.920 --> 0:43:50.160 ain't got him fired. He got him fired on Christmas 0:43:50.440 --> 0:43:51.000 Zach Martin. 0:43:52.719 --> 0:43:56.200 If Zach can't go, where's the conference level at mine? 0:43:56.239 --> 0:44:00.280 You know, what my mind is is fairly low without 0:44:00.080 --> 0:44:02.040 at last time we didn't have him was in the 0:44:02.080 --> 0:44:04.960 Arizona game and that didn't go well for us. So 0:44:05.680 --> 0:44:08.200 I think that's there's where you know, that's a pressure 0:44:08.200 --> 0:44:10.920 position for us. We like to do a lot internally, 0:44:10.960 --> 0:44:14.239 and that's Mike has gotten this offense going. When we've 0:44:14.239 --> 0:44:16.239 seen him at his best is when the running game 0:44:16.320 --> 0:44:19.040 is operating in between the tackles. Guys like Zach Martin 0:44:19.080 --> 0:44:22.640 does also pull out. Uh, but you gotta get up. 0:44:22.640 --> 0:44:24.759 You got to get behind Tyler Smith. Now, you know, 0:44:24.840 --> 0:44:27.320 your left side of the offensive line has been playing good, 0:44:27.560 --> 0:44:29.880 so you know, let those guys get out and do 0:44:29.960 --> 0:44:32.440 what they do just kind of mask not having them 0:44:32.480 --> 0:44:35.080 in there. Where I worry about not having him is 0:44:35.120 --> 0:44:38.000 in pass protection. That's the biggest part for me. My 0:44:38.080 --> 0:44:40.960 confidence level just get lower and lower every day. We 0:44:41.040 --> 0:44:43.799 get lower and lower every day you start talking about 0:44:43.840 --> 0:44:45.960 Zach Martin, even if he just may not be healthy, 0:44:46.600 --> 0:44:50.040 like it worries me. Defense worries me, our ability, our 0:44:50.120 --> 0:44:51.799 lack of ability to stop the run. And then what 0:44:51.840 --> 0:44:54.520 we put out there on offense last week worries me 0:44:54.560 --> 0:44:56.879 as well because we were rolling, but we were all 0:44:56.920 --> 0:44:59.000 just waiting to see if we were going to be 0:44:59.040 --> 0:45:01.719 able to get that I'm proof and consistency, and then 0:45:01.760 --> 0:45:03.879 we ran into a bus saw I'm talking about. 0:45:03.920 --> 0:45:06.320 It looked bad. So how do we respond? 0:45:06.719 --> 0:45:09.520 I think that's what I'm more worried about, because I think, 0:45:09.840 --> 0:45:11.840 you know, for us to be what we want to 0:45:11.880 --> 0:45:14.280 be moving into the playoffics, we're gonna be an offensive 0:45:14.280 --> 0:45:17.040 team and our offense has to be able to show up. 0:45:17.640 --> 0:45:17.920 Wow. 0:45:18.200 --> 0:45:21.399 Yes, well, let's end it. Let's end it right there, 0:45:21.920 --> 0:45:24.920 Joe Ka, All right, tomorrow we'll have to make the 0:45:24.920 --> 0:45:26.719 pick because it's Danny's last show of the week, because 0:45:26.719 --> 0:45:29.680 he gets ready to go through the Cowboys youth camps 0:45:29.719 --> 0:45:32.840 over at and T saves So Danny Kray, Thank Harrison 0:45:33.120 --> 0:45:36.400 new He scrugs for Chris Bean, Jazz, Big Will, Josh, 0:45:36.440 --> 0:45:38.680 Everybody's a part of the show.
