Speaker 2: brothers on hard knocks head.
Speaker 4: Coach god Man, this dude wreck your wreck? You up?
Speaker 2: This man is? This man can dial up some places.
Speaker 2: He's good. He got some confidence man. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 2: he got that confidence.
Speaker 4: Man. He should though, shouldn't he? Absolutely?
Speaker 3: I mean it's not like it's not like he's not
Speaker 3: out there showing that he can back it up. He
Speaker 3: get out there and when you watching his running backs
Speaker 3: and you watching the receivers and what do you do
Speaker 3: with Tyreek Hill and Jayson Walla and Tour, you know,
Speaker 3: he got to get in his props.
Speaker 2: There's no doubt. There's no doubt that little video they had,
Speaker 2: you know, I think someone play drive right here. I
Speaker 2: feels come and play drive that little sinister laugh.
Speaker 4: Like you've been paying attention to the the Amazon special
Speaker 4: on them?
Speaker 3: Yeah hbo two.
Speaker 2: Times boom I means yeah. I was like, okay, hey,
Speaker 2: hey he's good boy. He's a really really good football cup.
Speaker 3: So are you are you saying that dan Quinn has
Speaker 3: his work cut out for him with coach Sole brother
Speaker 3: uh and that offense and the weapons that he has
Speaker 3: the running game. Also, they top five, top ten in
Speaker 3: every category. So I'm worried, man, you are, I'm worried.
Speaker 3: You know, Look, they are dealing with some injuries. They
Speaker 3: have been for a long time. The offensive line isn't
Speaker 3: what they started the season with, and I think that's
Speaker 3: the only thing that gives you a clear cut indication
Speaker 3: that maybe, as far as a running team is concerned,
Speaker 3: they're gonna be able to pound it the same way
Speaker 3: that Buffalo pounded it, don't you.
Speaker 2: So I'll counter what you're saying there with I think
Speaker 2: we all believe the Jets are good defense. I do
Speaker 2: beating thirty to nothing with a banged up offensive line
Speaker 2: last week.
Speaker 3: It just beat Buffalos? Who does just because just have
Speaker 3: beat some really good teams this season. Was Buffalo one
Speaker 3: of them.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Let me, let me let me look check it.
Speaker 2: I don't Actually, we got it. We got handy Dandy
Speaker 2: right here. Buffalo beat the Jets this year, and they
Speaker 2: lost to the Jets. So yeah, so so first first
Speaker 2: game of the year they lost that Jets, I don't know.
Speaker 2: But then later on any year they beat them. But yeah,
Speaker 2: and Miami lost the Buffalo big after they beat through
Speaker 2: the seventy up on Denver. Then they gave up forty
Speaker 2: there but then uh and they beaten Miami's beating the
Speaker 2: Jets twice this year, So this is this is for me.
Speaker 2: I just think this is a bad style for them,
Speaker 2: and I think these are two coordinators who pose a
Speaker 2: problem for them this week. And I'm worried.
Speaker 3: Who's a good style. I mean, since you, since you
Speaker 3: style for us, they know how to beat And that's
Speaker 3: where I have a problem. I have a problem with that,
Speaker 3: especially when we start we're gonna do the camp and
Speaker 3: you start doing that at this point in the season
Speaker 3: anywhere they played them and we beat them, and we
Speaker 3: beat them and they did The Jets are not the
Speaker 3: same team from the beginning of the season, regardless especially
Speaker 3: with everything that they've been going through in the New
Speaker 3: York media.
Speaker 4: Just not the same team, not the same defense.
Speaker 3: They've been beat up, and they're one of those teams
Speaker 3: that are definitely making their reservations for where they going
Speaker 3: after the season because it's been due. It didn't turn
Speaker 3: out anything like they thought it was. All I'm saying
Speaker 3: is where we've been beat and where you've been pointing
Speaker 3: to at the end of games. Is they outphysical to us?
Speaker 3: They came to they came in. The Bills came in
Speaker 3: last week, seventy nine, seventy three. God bless them. I
Speaker 3: can't forget what they did to my defense and the
Speaker 3: way that they were driving guys off the ball. I
Speaker 3: don't think Miami has that. But with Raheem Moster, the
Speaker 3: numbers are what you see. They still beat that Jets
Speaker 3: team thirty to zero. Okay, Raheem Moster still has eighteen
Speaker 3: touchd down on the season. He still is top five
Speaker 3: as far as running back numbers. So you know, I
Speaker 3: just don't think that the same bludgeting that you got
Speaker 3: when you went to the You like that, I like
Speaker 3: that that word. I don't think you go get that
Speaker 3: beat up that same way with Miami. And this is
Speaker 3: this is where where why it worries me because I
Speaker 3: still leave out of that Buffalo game, and I know
Speaker 3: we had the miss tackles, and I know you see
Speaker 3: a few like plays where we did get out physical.
Speaker 3: But to me, I just I just continue looking at
Speaker 3: it and I continue remembering what I'm seeing on the defense,
Speaker 3: and I don't and I don't see it being as
Speaker 3: much as a out physical than a miss assignments and
Speaker 3: not in the right places and playing discipline football and
Speaker 3: that and that is on offense as well with the
Speaker 3: penalties on defense, with the penalties, but as far as
Speaker 3: when you're talking about like playing against the Shanahan type
Speaker 3: of offense, where like a lot of pulling guards, there's
Speaker 3: gonna be a lot of misdirection with the eyes and god,
Speaker 3: it's really gonna have to be gap sound. You have
Speaker 3: to have real good gap integrity in order not to
Speaker 3: in order to keep moster and a chain out of
Speaker 3: the end zone. We have not done that this season,
Speaker 3: Like we haven't done it when we came up against
Speaker 3: a team that specializes in running the football with a
Speaker 3: bunch of different type of concepts, we haven't found ourselves
Speaker 3: able to be able to stop them. And that's San
Speaker 3: fran didn't stop them, Arizona couldn't stop them. Now we
Speaker 3: got Buffalo couldn't stop them because Joe Brady came in
Speaker 3: with that same type of style. Man, we're gonna pull guards,
Speaker 3: pull tackles, and we're gonna confuse these guys and make
Speaker 3: them late. And now we got Miami come and do
Speaker 3: the same thing. So I think that's what makes me
Speaker 3: more nervous about this one because it was like really
Speaker 3: put on notice last week.
Speaker 2: So we just go look at this just stacked, and
Speaker 2: I know we can make stats to do whatever we want.
Speaker 2: But offensive leaders total yards Miami number one, San Francisco
Speaker 2: number two, Detroit number three, Buffalo number four, passing Miami
Speaker 2: number one, San Francisco number two, Kansas City three, Detroit
Speaker 2: number four, rushing Baltimore number one, Detroit number two, San
Speaker 2: Francisco number three, Miami number four. When I talk about
Speaker 2: you know they the style worries me. We know they
Speaker 2: don't match up well against the forty nine ers. This
Speaker 2: team is offensively taken from the San Francisco forty nine ers.
Speaker 2: And so that's why I look at this and I
Speaker 2: kind of just go back to what I did at
Speaker 2: the beginning of the year and not staying true to
Speaker 2: it last week. I had these two losses on the
Speaker 2: road in December as losses, and right now without Hankins
Speaker 2: there and what we saw from Masie or not enough,
Speaker 2: what we saw from Mozi, how do they get this fixed?
Speaker 2: I think fourteen and thirty three for the Cowboys. Defensively,
Speaker 2: this is a tough matchup and I'm not necessarily blaming. Now,
Speaker 2: these are guys you're expecting to be backups who are
Speaker 2: thrust into some starting roles. Maybe dan Quinn could fix
Speaker 2: some stuff, but right now, the old Parcels line, all
Speaker 2: I can go by is one I.
Speaker 3: See and I believe what you're saying. And I wanted
Speaker 3: to go kind of pull back a little bit and
Speaker 3: just say, in the four losses that we've had this season,
Speaker 3: they've been because we have been out physical at the
Speaker 3: line of scrimmage seven hundred and sixty seven yards rushing
Speaker 3: in those four losses, and you come up against like
Speaker 3: you talk about a Miami team that has the ability
Speaker 3: to run the ball based off of those numbers that
Speaker 3: you see, I just feel as though, as a defensive front,
Speaker 3: especially when I go back to Gains versus Philly, are
Speaker 3: other teams or opponents that had a physical running style.
Speaker 3: You still have the compensity of the ability to stop
Speaker 3: teams from running on you.
Speaker 4: You've shown that you can do that.
Speaker 3: Now here's another opportunity for you do it, because again,
Speaker 3: if you don't stop it, you're definitely gonna get.
Speaker 4: It the week after next, and then after that you're.
Speaker 3: Gonna get it the first week in the playoffs as well,
Speaker 3: So it's not as if we have to stop the run.
Speaker 3: And I think that's right because I think the question is, though,
Speaker 3: have we been able to really stop a team who
Speaker 3: said they were going to come in and they've been
Speaker 3: a top five running team and we turned them into
Speaker 3: a team that did not look like a top five
Speaker 3: running team? This is over the last three years. Have
Speaker 3: we faced the team where we knew coming into the game,
Speaker 3: this is the type of game it's going to be,
Speaker 3: this is the type of scheme and the type of
Speaker 3: run concepts that you were going to face, and then
Speaker 3: we come out of the game saying, oh, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I feel real good about where we at defensively, defensive
Speaker 3: line wise, and on our second level with our linebackers.
Speaker 3: Have we had that over the last couple of years.
Speaker 3: That's a good question. That's a good question, and not
Speaker 3: knowing the answer to that, I do know that you've
Speaker 3: been You've had two twelve back to back twelve and
Speaker 3: five seasons. In those twelve and five seasons, you've played
Speaker 3: teams that had a running style or at least try
Speaker 3: to and came into the game with the game plan
Speaker 3: to run the ball. On you right now, we're looking
Speaker 3: at a San Francisco and saying, Okay, this is what
Speaker 3: gives us trumble blockers getting to the second level blocking
Speaker 3: guys in the run scheme and the run fit. And
Speaker 3: if you're pointing to that and saying, Okay, Miami is
Speaker 3: a mirror image of San Francisco and this is what
Speaker 3: they're gonna try and do to you, I think, based
Speaker 3: off of personnel, I say they can't.
Speaker 4: Who can't that they can't do it to us Miami.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put my hand right here and I'm gonna
Speaker 3: say we not gonna stop them running the ball.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 3: Then that's that is that's the challenge this week because
Speaker 3: as and I'm making my case because there's no way
Speaker 3: that dan Quinn is sitting over there in his office
Speaker 3: seeing that teams are playing him this way and not saying, Okay,
Speaker 3: we gotta load up and do everything that we possibly
Speaker 3: can to stop it. Because if it's gonna be and
Speaker 3: dan Quinn, we trust, we can't be talking out of
Speaker 3: both sides our neck saying that they can't stop the run.
Speaker 3: Well no, but we've been saying this. I've been trusting
Speaker 3: to dan Quinn for years and we ain't been able
Speaker 3: to stop the run. Like you come out of the
Speaker 3: San Francisco game two years ago saying, hey man, we
Speaker 3: need to figure out a way to stop the run.
Speaker 3: We got we got our physical on defense a little bit,
Speaker 3: but we need to get better. You go in there
Speaker 3: and you draft a guy in the first round because
Speaker 3: you play San Francisco and you're like, hey man, we
Speaker 3: still we still haven't buttoned that up. We still are
Speaker 3: not a team who we can get it there and
Speaker 3: stop the run when we need to. And then this
Speaker 3: year you come out and I think, what third game
Speaker 3: of the seasons taken again?
Speaker 4: What Arizona?
Speaker 3: You give up two hundred you play, you play San
Speaker 3: Francisco again, the team that you built now your defense
Speaker 3: to be able to stop, and they put up almost
Speaker 3: two hundred on you. And then you come out and
Speaker 3: give up another two hundred yards against the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 3: Where you line up in that game and you say, Okay,
Speaker 3: the weather's gonna be x right, They're gonna try to
Speaker 3: run the ball. We tried to run four three, we
Speaker 3: tried to run five two. We tried to run everything
Speaker 3: we possibly could, and no matter what we threw at them.
Speaker 4: We couldn't stop them. Yeah, we couldn't. We couldn't get
Speaker 4: it done.
Speaker 3: So I trust in dan Quinn being able to put
Speaker 3: his guys in position to make plays when they need
Speaker 3: him to, but he still hasn't shown me that, Hey man,
Speaker 3: this defense is a defense that can get out there
Speaker 3: and stop the run, which words me in the playoffs,
Speaker 3: but also worries me about these next two games as well,
Speaker 3: because these teams are gonna sit down and say, man,
Speaker 3: we're gonna run the ball til you stop it, and
Speaker 3: then that's nothing to hang your hat on. There's nothing
Speaker 3: to hang your hat on. There's nothing as far as
Speaker 3: this defensive defensive identity that you can say, all right,
Speaker 3: we're gonna go into games and were gonna be they
Speaker 3: were gonna beat them based off of the fact that
Speaker 3: we do this pass rush.
Speaker 4: That's why to me now it's DAK.
Speaker 3: It's coming out of coming out of by week with
Speaker 3: the way that the offense has been rolling.
Speaker 4: It's on DAK. Right, can we get a league?
Speaker 3: Can we play from ahead and then we allow our
Speaker 3: pass rushes to get in there and make those type
Speaker 3: of players to where Stephan Gilmore and dron Bland are
Speaker 3: in position and didn't get turnovers, because that's when we
Speaker 3: play our best, when we're playing from ahead and Michael
Speaker 3: Parsons and d Law and Odiggy Zoo and all those guys.
Speaker 4: Can get out there and rush. You're right, No, you're right.
Speaker 3: I'm saying that worries me though, Like that worries me
Speaker 3: from now all the way up into whoever we facing
Speaker 3: the playoffs when we get there to say, are we
Speaker 3: able to then do that? Can we fix it in
Speaker 3: a week? I don't know we could fix it in
Speaker 3: a week. I'm sorry, go ahead, No, No, This.
Speaker 2: Is this is interesting because it's made me dive more
Speaker 2: more into the just the rushing totals. Just looking at Okay,
Speaker 2: who beat you this year? The top eight teams in rushing,
Speaker 2: The Cowboys have lost to all of them. I mean,
Speaker 2: she's lost that. Their losses have been to teams we've
Speaker 2: all been in the top. So you've lost to San Francisco,
Speaker 2: you lost to Arizona, you lost the Buffalo, you lost
Speaker 2: to Philly. If you can run on them, you can
Speaker 2: beat them. This is this is the secret sauce. And
Speaker 2: then on the flip side of that comes into all right,
Speaker 2: you're running on them. You're getting a lead and they're
Speaker 2: not getting a lead on you. So you're able to
Speaker 2: go ahead and run in the past when the Cowboys
Speaker 2: and be able to get up on either. Take it
Speaker 2: away that ability for you to just kind of be
Speaker 2: patient and run the ball. But this is I'm just
Speaker 2: looking at trends, you know, if I was doing the
Speaker 2: financial analysis right now and I'm looking at the run defense,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, okay, this this week, it's a problem
Speaker 2: because it fits right into the blueprints of how you
Speaker 2: beat the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 4: On the road.
Speaker 2: Okay, beat them on the road, get them at your spot,
Speaker 2: run the ball on them, got shot, and and this
Speaker 2: is Vegas having them as a as a one and
Speaker 2: a half to two point underdog. Right now, I feel
Speaker 2: like this is legitimate and until they show me the
Speaker 2: can stop this. And it's not just Dan Quinn telling
Speaker 2: me that, Okay, you know, we weren't signing to Mary's
Speaker 2: here where our secret sauce was, and the mistackles and
Speaker 2: we got to clean up get ready to go. I
Speaker 2: gotta see it because I can't trust him.
Speaker 3: No, and I'm not asking I'm not asking for anybody
Speaker 3: to trust because you don't have any time proof or
Speaker 3: consistency when it comes down to that, because the teams
Speaker 3: that you just mentioned have all beat them in Miami
Speaker 3: is the other team that you haven't mentioned that we
Speaker 3: hadn't played yet, right, that is in that number and
Speaker 3: Detroit and Detroit and Detroit, and so again you come
Speaker 3: up against teams that you know what they're gonna do.
Speaker 4: We talked about it last week versus the Bills.
Speaker 3: What did you say, if if we take this game
Speaker 3: out of Josh Allen's hands, we are in what trumbt
Speaker 3: in trouble? We're in trouble. And if you said, hey,
Speaker 3: if he's sitting back, he's not having to throw the
Speaker 3: ball and all that's counting on is just running the ball,
Speaker 3: then we're having a long day. Already, I'm saying coming
Speaker 3: into this Miami game, you already know what they're gonna do.
Speaker 3: The game plan for Miami A h. Let's throw the
Speaker 3: ball to Tarick Hill, who has a high ankle spring
Speaker 3: twenty five times doing it. That's gonna give Raheem Moster and
Speaker 3: a chain't the ball. They gonna run the ball to
Speaker 3: try and take the air out of the ball. To
Speaker 3: take that keep him on the sideline.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I know they're gonna do that. And and
Speaker 4: the thing that gets me is.
Speaker 3: Every year we've come out saying the same thing, like
Speaker 3: we go drafted, like we literally go draft a defensive
Speaker 3: tackle with all whatever needs we got out there, we
Speaker 3: go draft the defensive tackle in the first round because
Speaker 3: you know that we need to figure out how to
Speaker 3: stop the run better and we still haven't been able
Speaker 3: to do it. And then after you play a team
Speaker 3: like Arizona you could chalk it up to trap game
Speaker 3: or whatever. Then you play a San Francisco team where
Speaker 3: you get you get beat up in the run game
Speaker 3: at that at that point, at that point you say, Okay,
Speaker 3: you know the team is going back and watching the
Speaker 3: film and they getting it in their mind that a,
Speaker 3: we need to be better at this uh, at this
Speaker 3: point on defense whatever. And then you get out there
Speaker 3: and you play the Buffalo Bills after knowing that that
Speaker 3: is going to be the case. And where you kind
Speaker 3: of stumbled at at the beginning of the season where
Speaker 3: you had two chances and you didn't do quite well.
Speaker 3: Now you have another opportunity and you can't figure it
Speaker 3: out the entire game, like how to get it done?
Speaker 4: Is what makes me wonder, like, well.
Speaker 3: Can we can we because you knew it was all
Speaker 3: all there last week and then the last time you
Speaker 3: played in the run game, like you knew that this
Speaker 3: is what you needed to stop them from doing, and
Speaker 3: we know it this week, So we have another, like
Speaker 3: I said, another test to where if we get beat
Speaker 3: up this week, this is bigger than the test.
Speaker 4: This is bigger to me.
Speaker 3: This is bigger than the test because if you fail this,
Speaker 3: this is ultimately your Achilles hill. Like you said, for
Speaker 3: the years, I've been saying the same thing. We've got
Speaker 3: to plug up this hole you slash year in the
Speaker 3: green Bay game green Bay, we took the ball out
Speaker 3: of Aaron Rodgers's hand, and what they do They put
Speaker 3: it into the hands they're running back.
Speaker 4: That exposed our defense.
Speaker 3: You can't continue to live this narrative and even have
Speaker 3: any expectations of playing in any postseason anything.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm that. Don't mean I'm picking the Dolphins
Speaker 4: or nothing new.
Speaker 3: He just we know you and Barry most likely are
Speaker 3: picking the Miami Southeast Dolphins this week, all right, But
Speaker 3: me and Heck, actually I don't even know if Heck
Speaker 3: gonna pick y'all lay go to West Palm. I don't
Speaker 3: even know he gonna pick up boys this week over.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be an interesting It's gonna be an interesting show.
Speaker 3: We gotta pick tomorrow because you know I will be
Speaker 3: doing football camps on Friday.
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, I'm he pulled out the stats on his dog.
Speaker 4: He wasn't sta man on me.
Speaker 3: He ain't had to pull them out them stats to
Speaker 3: know like this is this is Denver, the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 2: The head coach of the Broncos who's now the defensive coordinator.
Speaker 3: We've been hollering about this for you like literally for years,
Speaker 3: and he like, they know that's why they got to
Speaker 3: make the moves to try to make sure we have
Speaker 3: those type of players on the defensive line, Like they know,
Speaker 3: like what can you do about it?
Speaker 4: Now? I just, you know, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know what to fix is. And I've been
Speaker 3: on teams that have tried to figure it out, Like
Speaker 3: we couldn't get turned over. Was that's when we start
Speaker 3: talking to you know, takeovers. We can change the name
Speaker 3: of nine Takeovers and start running his own all.
Speaker 4: We just couldn't figure out what to do. And I
Speaker 4: think that's where.
Speaker 3: We are right now with the you know what, our ability,
Speaker 3: our lack of ability to stop the run?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 2: A question about Michael Parsons and how where do you
Speaker 2: play him this week? Knowing you're going up against a
Speaker 2: run team. Let's do Let's do that with heck Maherrison

Speaker 3: you know, dancing.
Speaker 2: But boy, scar.
Speaker 4: Faith was I needed tissues, the band need tissues.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 4: That was That's the only way to see Scarf.
Speaker 2: That was just so man. First one I ever saw
Speaker 2: was T Paint. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 4: Couldn't believe what t paint content? What?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't have them confused. Yeah is singing It's
Speaker 3: butt off. It was another one that was really good.
Speaker 3: I can't think of the pack the drummer Anderson Pa
Speaker 3: Tiny Desks was, Tiny Dests was really good. That's a
Speaker 3: lot of guys that do them, Like you said, Juvis
Speaker 3: was really good.
Speaker 4: But it was good too. Yes, give me theer in
Speaker 4: the back.
Speaker 2: At least, I mean they dels, I mean they are good.
Speaker 2: But the one scar Fae this was good man. It
Speaker 2: was just like, I mean just just literally I some
Speaker 2: of these. I watched them like, you should just go
Speaker 2: ahead and record that as an album, just making I
Speaker 2: would buy it on a iTunes' right. It was is
Speaker 2: that good?
Speaker 3: I think I think Scarfaces the way they the way
Speaker 3: that they played the music behind it actually like really
Speaker 3: made it more poetic, like it was like a poetry reading.
Speaker 3: And then the way that he was doing doing crazis
Speaker 3: too as well, was it was more poetry than it
Speaker 3: was the music that you hear when you just riding.
Speaker 4: I got that.
Speaker 3: I got literally got that same feeling because you know,
Speaker 3: never seen the man cry away the way that he
Speaker 3: performed it and the way that I remember it when
Speaker 3: it first released, I'm like, nah, dog, it wasn't This
Speaker 3: wasn't no smoking words, the rap at its finest. I mean,
Speaker 3: and anybody know when the Ghetto Boys first came out,
Speaker 3: mind playing tricks on everything. I mean, it's been these
Speaker 3: guys are cultural icons. But the Tiny Death Series man's
Speaker 3: just bringing it all back. But then you get to
Speaker 3: see guys that you have school, you done got old,
Speaker 3: you done got old with guys like this, and you
Speaker 3: realize that you know, talent, don't get old.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 3: He still has it, he still has that voice. But
Speaker 3: you're right, man, I enjoyed it.
Speaker 2: It's storytelling, and that's that's that's what made it so good.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you this story about how I got
Speaker 2: to this song and then and the man sitting there
Speaker 2: next to him, and they just there was true vibing
Speaker 2: and v H v H one used to have a
Speaker 2: thing called Storytellers, and I remember the one they did
Speaker 2: with Kanye West from the eight Away and the Heartbreaks
Speaker 2: and just him being able to tell the stories of
Speaker 2: how he got there and just going live, having the
Speaker 2: having the band there. It was just it was it
Speaker 2: was good telling me. I'm sitting at my desk, man,
Speaker 2: I need the tissue.
Speaker 3: Man. It was just like, this is jay Z needs
Speaker 3: to do one. Jay Z, I know he too big
Speaker 3: for it, but come on, now he'll do You think
Speaker 3: he'll do one? Hey, man, it gets andre three thousand
Speaker 3: to do it.
Speaker 4: Man, Because this.
Speaker 2: Setting the bar on these things. I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know. When you step in there, man, the
Speaker 2: bar is high for these things you can't.
Speaker 4: Jay Z won't be able to miss. Yet.
Speaker 3: He got so much, so much with for Real and Timberland, Like,
Speaker 3: there's so many different type of sounds that you could
Speaker 3: put noops, it's just.
Speaker 2: The m TV unplugged you did with Sensational. So if
Speaker 2: he even did anything, that's.
Speaker 4: That's tiny desk before tiny desk, right.
Speaker 2: If he did that, that would be phenomenal. I do
Speaker 2: want to see Uh, I do want to see Joe
Speaker 2: get up in there.
Speaker 4: No, you don't. Don't do that to my boy. Can't
Speaker 4: see it, Jojo. It ain't the same.
Speaker 3: Sometimes brother go off telling get Sometimes no, no Danny.
Speaker 3: Sometimes you get a bad back.
Speaker 4: Sometimes sometimes you gotta lead apart.
Speaker 2: They cleaned up the boys from Monroe, North Carolina clean
Speaker 2: up and this would be good. I know what you're
Speaker 2: trying to say, make differences. Yeah, we don't need some time.
Speaker 4: So but if so good.
Speaker 2: Let's tucky cowboys here on players loude and towards the
Speaker 2: players loud, we do get off on. This is what
Speaker 2: the players and music is. Music is very much what
Speaker 2: players are about here. And of course scar faces from Houston, Dannytown.
Speaker 2: So you know we must give him, give him props there.
Speaker 2: So someone had asked me today, a coach. He says,
Speaker 2: how come they will go put Michael Parsons linebacker, considering
Speaker 2: that you've got Bell and Clark having their issues and
Speaker 2: their smaller guys, why not just move him back to
Speaker 2: that level? And I said, that's it, that's it. That's
Speaker 2: an interesting question. And dan Quinn was asked about that
Speaker 2: this week with meeting with the media. So I think
Speaker 2: that's something they'll they'll have to think about, especially this
Speaker 2: week with the speed of a chan and and moster's
Speaker 2: ability to to run in and outside. So how they
Speaker 2: employed Michael this week, to me, that'll be a very
Speaker 2: interesting guy.
Speaker 4: I don't think that's a good match.
Speaker 3: The things that we are feeling at doing, Like how
Speaker 3: long has it been since Michael Parsons is actually.
Speaker 4: Practiced doing those things?
Speaker 3: So I don't know how much of an improvement you
Speaker 3: will be able to see, just like, hey, listen, yeah,
Speaker 3: y'all not doing well enough, let's do Michael back here,
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, all this stuff is
Speaker 3: gonna be fixed. When like he's specializing right now in
Speaker 3: past rushing, he's still a difference maker. They're just finding
Speaker 3: ways to make sure they take him out of the
Speaker 3: play read option, making sure that he has the pause
Speaker 3: a little bit so he's not able to then go
Speaker 3: chase down and running back. Like these offensive coordinators are
Speaker 3: really creative making sure that number eleven is not a
Speaker 3: part of the game as much as possible. I don't
Speaker 3: see I don't see it being a big improvement to
Speaker 3: moving him back to the linebacker position. These young guys
Speaker 3: need to figure out how to get it done so
Speaker 3: Michael Parsons, when it counts, can then still be in
Speaker 3: the position where he makes the most impact. But it
Speaker 3: is tough. It is tough when you see the way
Speaker 3: that with the way that the second level is struggling.
Speaker 3: You know, Micah is such a weapon that Dan Quinn
Speaker 3: obviously in the off season said, look, I got a
Speaker 3: way I want to use him. I'm gonna put him
Speaker 3: out here on the edge and I'm gonna make every
Speaker 3: right tackle have nightmares about him coming down because how
Speaker 3: quick he is and his impact. You see immediately teams
Speaker 3: having to scheme up for him. And that's why you say,
Speaker 3: guys like o Sadigizul, guys like Darence Armstrong, guys like
Speaker 3: Tank Lawrence, this is better for you because now offenses
Speaker 3: are having to count for our man guy. When it
Speaker 3: doesn't work that way, you start questioning, like, Okay, what
Speaker 3: are teams doing to us and what are they recognizing
Speaker 3: in our scheme that's nullifying Michael Parsons and teams are saying.
Speaker 2: We're not gonna block them.
Speaker 4: Well, that's a hell of a strategy.
Speaker 3: When you can run it, that's a hell of a strategy,
Speaker 3: and then you have guys on the other side of
Speaker 3: your linebackers and Dumon Clark where you're saying, look, man,
Speaker 3: all you have to do now is scrape and read
Speaker 3: and go. Well, that's not working either, because now the
Speaker 3: chip block is getting to the second level.
Speaker 4: Doesn't matter if you're two forty.
Speaker 3: Two fifty whatever, You're still having to chip through linebackers
Speaker 3: for four quarters. And look, I don't know how if
Speaker 3: this is a byproduct of the Lve injury. Okay, I
Speaker 3: live with it, all right, But LV was there in
Speaker 3: Arizona two. You know, he was there for the full
Speaker 3: San Francisco forty nine ers game. Also, there just been
Speaker 3: times where it looked like, look, we were most vulnerable
Speaker 3: to teams that were going to out physical us, and
Speaker 3: we didn't have a guy at the second level that
Speaker 3: could get any stops. Right now, I think Michael gives
Speaker 3: you the best chance as what you said.
Speaker 4: Pass rushing.
Speaker 3: When we stopped the run and we make you one dimensional,
Speaker 3: Oh my god, we're coming after you. It's nothing else
Speaker 3: you could do about it. But then also when you're
Speaker 3: running away from Michael and he's chasing down the play
Speaker 3: from behind, then you're seeing the brilliance and that we
Speaker 3: haven't seen that happen. And I think now when you're
Speaker 3: seeing Michael run behind the player and the guy gets
Speaker 3: eight yards and he throws his hands up like what like, man,
Speaker 3: that's not the version of number eleven I want to
Speaker 3: see it.
Speaker 4: It's not positive.
Speaker 3: I think the good thing about it is you don't
Speaker 3: have Josh Allen the quarterback this week, so that every
Speaker 3: adoption won't have as much of an impact as it
Speaker 3: had last week because you don't have to defend I
Speaker 3: ain't running, you don't have to defend him like you
Speaker 3: had to defend Josh Allen. So I think that'll be
Speaker 3: a positive. But you still got to stop those base
Speaker 3: running place, those those base tackle trap pool counter. You
Speaker 3: still have to be able to stop those because if
Speaker 3: you don't, I think you'll see another game, like you
Speaker 3: said last week, where the quarterback ain't throwing it much
Speaker 3: and you know most of them a chain is taking
Speaker 3: turns on you.
Speaker 2: Micah spoke out against the media this week goes.
Speaker 4: Podcasts, your thoughts.
Speaker 3: It's one of those things for me, as we talked
Speaker 3: about the guys going into podcasting earlier, that you know,
Speaker 3: if it's a distraction from what you do.
Speaker 4: I don't want to see it. I don't want to
Speaker 4: hear about it.
Speaker 3: But sometimes man, it lacks maturity and I start to say, look, michaeh,
Speaker 3: it comes with the territory. As I've heard you and
Speaker 3: Battery say over and over again, doll, you're gonna wear
Speaker 3: that starting your helmet.
Speaker 4: You're gonna You're gonna.
Speaker 3: Face criticism and to try and escape it is crazy.
Speaker 3: You're not gonna escape it. Guys are always gonna criticize
Speaker 3: you even more because you play play for.
Speaker 4: The Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3: I think sometimes we learn things about guys through the
Speaker 3: media that we don't want to like. He just basically said,
Speaker 3: you know, it's older players like guys that used to
Speaker 3: play that don't want to see that are always talking
Speaker 3: down on Cowboys or the media always is up in
Speaker 3: an uproar every time the Cowboys lose, like they have
Speaker 3: nothing to talk about when the Cowboys are winning. But
Speaker 3: oh when the Cowboys lose, now you got a whole
Speaker 3: lot to say.
Speaker 2: And I'm paraphrasing it's Dan Orlovski and Shady McCoy after
Speaker 2: a Cowboy loss basically like see I told you or
Speaker 2: you know I think Shady said some kind of tweet like,
Speaker 2: oh there he is, there's my guy. I knew he
Speaker 2: come back about Dak and so Michael was sensitive to that.
Speaker 2: But if you're sensitive at go play in Cincinnati.
Speaker 3: Where nobody's gonna talk about it.
Speaker 4: That right, But do you want to play at twelve
Speaker 4: o'clock every week?
Speaker 2: Like I said, if you want that, go play in Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: If this is what, If this is what you want,
Speaker 2: If you don't want anyone to say anything about you,
Speaker 2: then you go playing places like that. But this is
Speaker 2: the cowboys. The media is going to talk about you.
Speaker 2: I've been lucky enough to cover the Lakers, been lucky
Speaker 2: enough to cover the Cab. I've covered you know with
Speaker 2: this is it? You get it, It's what it is,
Speaker 2: And yeah, you're right. Heck in some ways you're like,
Speaker 2: hey man, why are you doing a podcast? And you're
Speaker 2: putting you're putting a shining a light on yourself. But
Speaker 2: it's some guys are there.
Speaker 4: I mean a J.
Speaker 2: Brown I here fighting with with with Eagle fans on
Speaker 2: social media. It's like, brother, that's that's a group losing battle, right,
Speaker 2: that's a group. I don't they there all day? You
Speaker 2: are entertaining. You're making them feel good by you interacting
Speaker 2: with them. That's what they want. So but you're right,
Speaker 2: he's he's a young man.
Speaker 3: The issue, the issue that I have with it is
Speaker 3: that at some point, okay, it does get out of hand,
Speaker 3: right when you attacking guys. It's people, you know, like
Speaker 3: they personalized.
Speaker 8: Crazy address on Yeah, like that's like, like that's out
Speaker 8: of hand, right, But then there's also a point to
Speaker 8: where you got to be able to accept some criticism
Speaker 8: or just don't listen to it.
Speaker 3: If you go out there and you don't play bad
Speaker 3: and somebody points out what you did wrong and you
Speaker 3: not playing well, that is not them getting on you.
Speaker 3: That is them pointing out what happened in the game.
Speaker 3: Because their job is to show the people who the
Speaker 3: ordinary fan who doesn't know what's going on, to show them, Hey, yeah,
Speaker 3: the reason why I'm saying he's having a bad season
Speaker 3: is because this is why he's having a bad season,
Speaker 3: versus hey man, you're gonna go out here and to
Speaker 3: take the dude character or do all that type of
Speaker 3: stuff that's wrong. But then people do have to be
Speaker 3: able to say, ay man, I know the game of football.
Speaker 4: This is why this team ain't doing good.
Speaker 2: And you have to know when you don't walk in
Speaker 2: to the Spiders Web. I don't know about you, but
Speaker 2: I get updates on my phone from ESPN, and when
Speaker 2: the Cowboys lose, within an hour or so, there's an
Speaker 2: update on my phone from Steven A. Smith with a
Speaker 2: video and it's some kind of I tried to tell you, like.
Speaker 4: I don't get home. You know, He's like, it's comedic.
Speaker 2: Right, So I don't click on it. I can't stop
Speaker 2: it from coming because I've signed on for Cowboy alerts,
Speaker 2: so you make sure the stuff from Todd Archer and
Speaker 2: from ESPN. But anyway, that's what you get. You know
Speaker 2: what's coming. So if you're Michael Parson and you know
Speaker 2: you lose, you got to know what's coming, and you
Speaker 2: know already know who the actors are that are going
Speaker 2: to come at you. I'm sorry, you have to deal
Speaker 2: with it, and to me, I just tak the top
Speaker 2: of my head. And maybe you guys have someone different,
Speaker 2: But I think Eli Manning is the best I've ever
Speaker 2: seen it handling a hostile media environment because he was
Speaker 2: there in New York and he had issues a lot
Speaker 2: of times. Despite the two years that he won the
Speaker 2: Super Bowls. A lot of people how we look. You
Speaker 2: remember the Eli face and you're not your brother and
Speaker 2: you think you're too good to go play for the Charger.
Speaker 2: This guy took a lot, a lot, and Eli did
Speaker 2: a very nice job in my opinion, of not feeding
Speaker 2: and walking into that web. Michael walked straight into it,
Speaker 2: trying to fight his way out. You can't fight.
Speaker 3: I didn't grow up in an era where there was
Speaker 3: a twenty four hour news cycle on sports, and I
Speaker 3: think that's the difference too. It's round o'clock, it never ends.
Speaker 3: If you get up three o'clock in the morning one
Speaker 3: watch something sports news wise, you.
Speaker 4: Can go and do that.
Speaker 3: And now you have more access and especially through social media,
Speaker 3: gods think.
Speaker 4: They could do what Danny McRae did.
Speaker 3: You know you think you think you could walk that
Speaker 3: undrafted free agent mile to make a career in the NFL.
Speaker 4: Good luck with that.
Speaker 3: You know it's and I'm saying that to say that
Speaker 3: now that the casual fan has access to you directly,
Speaker 3: and I can insult you to get a response from you.
Speaker 3: Now I got you, because now I know what how
Speaker 3: you operate. All I gotta do is insult you. And
Speaker 3: so that's the same thing that I feel like from
Speaker 3: Steven A and some of these other guys. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: get you respond because I'm gonna throw a rock and
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say, oh, this person sucks, he's no good,
Speaker 3: even though I played the position, even though I.
Speaker 4: Know how hard it is.
Speaker 3: At this point of these guys, that's not a miss
Speaker 3: to these guys, that's any given Sunday.
Speaker 4: They know.
Speaker 3: And it doesn't matter if you attack a guy's characters
Speaker 3: that were you didn't do nothing that he has you
Speaker 3: because you walked into his web. And that's what I
Speaker 3: wish Michael Parsons wouldn't do, because the kid man, he
Speaker 3: is awesome.
Speaker 4: I think he's one of the best. He can be
Speaker 4: one of the best to do it.
Speaker 3: And he's giving up his power having a podcast displaying
Speaker 3: his emotions on what somebody else is saying. And I'm
Speaker 3: not one of those shut up and dribble you know,
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that. I'm just saying, dog, you a go.
Speaker 3: You don't even have to address this guy.
Speaker 2: It's a lesson you have to learn.
Speaker 3: Can we agree that, Like listen, before a lot of
Speaker 3: these people got on the team Steven they've been doing
Speaker 3: this with the cowboy. It is obviously a joke and
Speaker 3: a troll, Like isn't obviously that Steven Ay has come
Speaker 3: here and done your release with him.
Speaker 4: And Jerry are cool, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: So so to take that as a like, oh, Stephen
Speaker 3: Ain taking personal shots at the cables, it's his thing, bro,
Speaker 3: it may not be so much. It's been that way
Speaker 3: before you even got here. So they personal gets you
Speaker 3: because before you as a cowboy and after you a cowboy,
Speaker 3: he's gonna be doing the same thing. That's the type
Speaker 3: of stuff. And you're like, why are you getting mad
Speaker 3: at this dude? You know, like you said, you know
Speaker 3: he's gonna do it. You know he's gonna do it,
Speaker 3: and then him and Jerry gonna have a conversation about it.
Speaker 3: He's gonna be out here on the plaza doing doing
Speaker 3: first take.
Speaker 2: So Danny mccra is able to speak, is this as
Speaker 2: a retired player, a father, are you right? An educated man?
Speaker 2: You know, and you have this he's not that hold on.
Speaker 3: Hold on now, because I had some I had a
Speaker 3: I had some bad games.
Speaker 4: They was on me.
Speaker 3: So so this is speaking from from that point of like,
Speaker 3: you can just read that stuff and feel whatever type
Speaker 3: of way you want about it. But then there is
Speaker 3: a point where you got to step back and be like,
Speaker 3: this dude, I don't even know what this dude looks like.
Speaker 3: This is it got an egg as an avatar. You
Speaker 3: don't even know who this person is. At some point
Speaker 3: you got to be like, you know what, but he
Speaker 3: just insulted.
Speaker 4: You, and you can do it.
Speaker 3: Got And that was twenty two years twenty two year
Speaker 3: old me, but now thirty five year old me, I
Speaker 3: do see I do see it a lot, a lot.

Speaker 2: you see where Steel the receiver George Pickings came out
Speaker 2: and say the reason he didn't he didn't block for
Speaker 2: Jalen Warren because he didn't want to get hurt.
Speaker 3: Didn't even know what to do, was right there. Yea,
Speaker 3: you got to go watch the film. He did come
Speaker 3: up with a plan before you did you go on, like, hey,
Speaker 3: did you watch it?
Speaker 2: There's no way so between deonat Johnson and George you
Speaker 2: know what's about to happen.
Speaker 4: In Pittsburgh, right, Well, they clean house.
Speaker 2: The receiver coach, won't we need? Yeah, the head coach
Speaker 2: has a good chance of returning because of the consistency
Speaker 2: of the organization. But uh yeah, I have the receiver coach. Man,
Speaker 2: this dude's done. I don't even know what name. I
Speaker 2: saw a picture on one time.
Speaker 3: I hated for coaches that get fired for stuff like
Speaker 3: that too. Of like, you know, I told you not.
Speaker 4: To do that.
Speaker 3: You know, I came in here day in and day
Speaker 3: out and told you a man finished the block.
Speaker 4: Okay, we are a blocking ride receiver room.
Speaker 3: And then you turn on the film and then everybody
Speaker 3: start talking about that one play and it's like, well,
Speaker 3: somebody got to take.
Speaker 4: The fall for that. That's a bonehead.
Speaker 3: That's a boneheaded thing to say, though, you know, it's
Speaker 3: really just just kind of stupid.
Speaker 2: Well then he went, yeah, I don't want to be
Speaker 2: a Tankdale situation.
Speaker 4: Come on, he.

Speaker 2: what you think. We run by you before I go down.
Speaker 4: Cousin somebody, cousins, family members.
Speaker 2: And the like tankdal comes, you'll be like Tank.
Speaker 3: You see what happened to Tank? Yeah, I'm on Bro,
Speaker 3: be better. That's bad ball. Now, that's bad ball. And
Speaker 3: the thing is they have this thing called the stealer way,
Speaker 3: and them people they don't have they have long memories
Speaker 3: for stuff like that.
Speaker 4: That man, and it's it's unfortunate.
Speaker 3: It's unfortunate for him because obviously he's a young talent
Speaker 3: that everybody's recognized that this guy can be outstanding if
Speaker 3: they can find somebody to get him the ball. It's
Speaker 3: been a frustrating year for still his receivers. But stuff
Speaker 3: like that, that is just they don't just don't. They
Speaker 3: don't do things like that.
Speaker 2: It's hard Adam Henry and get him from Buffalo, do
Speaker 2: something because they get there be a new wide receiver.
Speaker 3: You can shake back from Himo, because I remember Zeke
Speaker 3: shook back from his when that. I think they threw
Speaker 3: the interception and then they got him walking on the uh,
Speaker 3: walking on the field instead of chasing it down.
Speaker 4: Nobody.
Speaker 3: What you remember Zeke for now is up there with
Speaker 3: New England going to make a game save and tackle. Uh,
Speaker 3: you know, having the biggest game of his of his
Speaker 3: year that game. So I think he'll be all right.
Speaker 3: But yeah, ever I receive it comes, Yeah, yeah, they
Speaker 3: ain't got him fired. He got him fired on Christmas
Speaker 3: Zach Martin.
Speaker 2: If Zach can't go, where's the conference level at mine?
Speaker 3: You know, what my mind is is fairly low without
Speaker 3: at last time we didn't have him was in the
Speaker 3: Arizona game and that didn't go well for us. So
Speaker 3: I think that's there's where you know, that's a pressure
Speaker 3: position for us. We like to do a lot internally,
Speaker 3: and that's Mike has gotten this offense going. When we've
Speaker 3: seen him at his best is when the running game
Speaker 3: is operating in between the tackles. Guys like Zach Martin
Speaker 3: does also pull out. Uh, but you gotta get up.
Speaker 3: You got to get behind Tyler Smith. Now, you know,
Speaker 3: your left side of the offensive line has been playing good,
Speaker 3: so you know, let those guys get out and do
Speaker 3: what they do just kind of mask not having them
Speaker 3: in there. Where I worry about not having him is
Speaker 3: in pass protection. That's the biggest part for me. My
Speaker 3: confidence level just get lower and lower every day. We
Speaker 3: get lower and lower every day you start talking about
Speaker 3: Zach Martin, even if he just may not be healthy,
Speaker 3: like it worries me. Defense worries me, our ability, our
Speaker 3: lack of ability to stop the run. And then what
Speaker 3: we put out there on offense last week worries me
Speaker 3: as well because we were rolling, but we were all
Speaker 3: just waiting to see if we were going to be
Speaker 3: able to get that I'm proof and consistency, and then
Speaker 3: we ran into a bus saw I'm talking about.
Speaker 4: It looked bad. So how do we respond?
Speaker 3: I think that's what I'm more worried about, because I think,
Speaker 3: you know, for us to be what we want to
Speaker 3: be moving into the playoffics, we're gonna be an offensive
Speaker 3: team and our offense has to be able to show up.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 2: Yes, well, let's end it. Let's end it right there,
Speaker 2: Joe Ka, All right, tomorrow we'll have to make the
