Speaker 2: Was you was on air yesterday when it happened?

53
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 4: You have to give me your reaction to Jerry Jones

54
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 4: basically hijacking the first week held Hi jacked the height

55
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 4: of week one by putting the issue, putting putting head

56
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 4: to bed on that that contract's contract and putting pin

57
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 4: to pad. Tell me how you felt about it. It

58
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 4: just did he not get the bag? First and foremost?

59
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 4: You talking about a bag? I mean that man got

60
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 4: a bag from North Park Mall, Galleria anyway Europe.

61
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: Every type of bad you can think of, he got it. Man.

62
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 5: It kudos to that, to that young fellow right there,

63
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 5: I mean not young anymore, year eight, but Dak Prescott.

64
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 2: Man, you know he much deserved of it, much deserved

65
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: of it.

66
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 5: But when you talk about getting ahead week one, you

67
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 5: know in.

68
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 2: The National Football League it's week one. Everybody's hyped about

69
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: this that and the third.

70
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 5: You know, my mass Jerry came through and just hit

71
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 5: him with the bombshell. Yeah, by the way, you know

72
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 5: we're gonna make Dak Prescott the highest paid football player

73
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 5: in National Football League history. Like, that's that's unbelievable. Two

74
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 5: hundred and I believe what thirty one guaranteed, the two

75
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 5: forty guaranteed. Might as well call it a fully guaranteed contract.

76
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 5: But I mean that that was outstanding. And when it

77
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 5: first hit, I was thinking to myself, like, all right, well,

78
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 5: that's two of your best offensive players locked in unison

79
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 5: for the foreseeable future. I'm talking about Ceedee Lamb and

80
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 5: Dak Prescott. So that's that's that's building block one. You

81
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 5: got that situated. But when you talk about a guy

82
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 5: getting his money, I mean, this is a and that

83
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 5: came in fourth round draft pick. You know, came in

84
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 5: the building under Tony Romo. People thought, Okay, this is

85
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 5: gonna be a you know, developmental guy. Let's just you know,

86
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 5: stash him away here for a little bit. He had

87
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 5: to battle with that for that backup role with Jamill

88
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 5: Showers for a little bit of during camp, and then

89
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 5: that first preseason game in the Coliseum against the Rams.

90
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 5: I mean that's pretty much when everybody on the squad

91
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 5: at least kind of figured okay, man, we got somebody,

92
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 5: right here. He might not play this year, but we

93
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 5: got somebody here and then you know the story how

94
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 5: it goes. I mean, Romo gets hurt, he steps in,

95
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 5: and he just goes from there on and becomes a

96
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 5: player he is today. But you got to get that

97
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 5: man signed. And knew he called it from the beginning,

98
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 5: it's gonna happen. You know, you never lose an offensive

99
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 5: weapon like new he likes to call him, So we

100
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 5: knew he was gonna get signed. It wasn't you know

101
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 5: if it was more like a win. And to me,

102
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,679
Speaker 5: I was thinking, okay, well, if you don't get the number,

103
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 5: you thinking you might as well wait till you know

104
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 5: free agency so you can hit him over the head

105
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 5: for another ten to fifteen. But they came with the

106
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 5: number that I believe my man was head in the

107
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 5: back of his head because he got every penny and

108
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 5: he's definitely worth every penny of it.

109
00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 2: You'd love to see it. Man. I thought it was

110
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: a signing by the boys.

111
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 4: I mean, Barry, I think what you're pointing out is

112
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 4: all of the leverage that Dak had going into this

113
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 4: into the season, and I think, and I thought, listen,

114
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 4: sixty million dollars was probably what he had in his

115
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 4: head anyway, and he exceeded what some people thought was.

116
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 4: You know, when you saw those Jordan Love fifty five

117
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 4: and guys hovering around there, you know that the next

118
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 4: step up, guys are trying to take it to sixty

119
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 4: sixty five. And those were the rumors that say, hey,

120
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 4: if he makes it too free agency, that's what it's

121
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 4: going to be.

122
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: To me, I'm just glad.

123
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 4: That you avoid the distraction of having to answer the

124
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 4: question about Dak's contract each and every week, and just

125
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 4: backing up a little bit, man, when you pointed out

126
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 4: what he had to face coming into the league, being

127
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 4: a fourth round draft pick and also having to compete

128
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 4: just to be on the fifty three and then kind

129
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 4: of having that coming out party at the coliseum that

130
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 4: you've seen and it's been every year, and just starting

131
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 4: at twenty sixteen, when Dak emerging at thirteen to three season,

132
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 4: that you're looking at a guy that you're like, man,

133
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 4: he is a leader, he is a baller. Obviously, if

134
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 4: you look at the top tier, everybody's going to argue, well,

135
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 4: he ain't top five and he's not top this, But

136
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 4: what all he does is go out there and ball

137
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 4: give you an opportunity lessen every week, that's all. And

138
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 4: so the coming off of what he did last season

139
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 4: and on a forty four thousand, five hundred and sixteen

140
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 4: thousand yard season, leading the league in touchdowns with thirty

141
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 4: six touchdowns and only nine interceptions, that's ball.

142
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a that's a for showballer. You're lying about that.

143
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 4: When you look at Dak Prescott, you've got a guy

144
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 4: like you just mentioned, who gets better and better each year.

145
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: And that's what you love to see from your quarterback position.

146
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 5: If you look at it, I think it was what

147
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 5: two years ago, through a lot of interceptions, you know, pressing,

148
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 5: he thought, okay man, maybe he's reached his ceiling.

149
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: No, he came back last year and had the best

150
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 2: season of his career.

151
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 5: He cut down on his interceptions by six, went from

152
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 5: fifteen to nine. He boosted his touchdown ratings for about

153
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 5: thirteen like thirteen tales, went from twenty three to thirty six.

154
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 5: I mean, this is a guy who's a student of

155
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 5: the game and just continues to get better every year.

156
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 5: And that's all you can ask for from a quarterback.

157
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 5: And he was a homegrown talent. You know they wouldn't

158
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 5: drafted this guy in the fourth round, and you know

159
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 5: how this organization loves to keep their draft picks.

160
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 4: Barry, since I since I known you, since I met you,

161
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 4: all you do is keep it real, all right, And

162
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 4: you're very you know you have on this show in particular,

163
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 4: you've been critical of back in situations going forward as

164
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 4: a teammate and being a guy that's played in the

165
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 4: NFL and on several teams. The contract, when you saw it,

166
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 4: was it like this is this is where Dak needs

167
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 4: to be sixty million dollars a year. Did you say

168
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 4: to yourself or the team could have saved some money

169
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 4: or you know what? What was your credit? So what

170
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 4: did you think about the contract? Just the details of

171
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 4: it and just knowing that he is the highest paid

172
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 4: ever in the national football When it first dropped, I'm

173
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 4: thinking of man, that's a that's a massive band. Now

174
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 4: you got neighbors, you got I was like oha, But

175
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 4: I'm sitting there thinking to myself, I saw it enough.

176
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 5: You know, four years, two hundred and forty million, and

177
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 5: I'm thinking to myself, man, that's a bag. But let

178
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 5: me see what you know what the guarantee Bills is

179
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 5: talking about that's the real fine print.

180
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 2: And when I saw two thirty one, I said, oh my.

181
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 4: Goodness, Oh, it was just like oh man.

182
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 5: But that's one thing about the quarterback fraternity that they

183
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 5: have in the National Football League. And that's why these

184
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 5: guys just continue to get bag after bad because they

185
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 5: don't settle for us.

186
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 2: It's not like, Okay, well.

187
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 5: This guy, he may be the best quarterback in the

188
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 5: National Football League, but if your time is up and

189
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 5: you're a quarterback, oh, I want a number above his,

190
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 5: even though you may not be.

191
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 2: As good as that guy is. They're always leveling up.

192
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 5: That way, the quarterbacks that are coming up behind them

193
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 5: will be able to get their bag as well. And

194
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 5: that's what I love about the quarterback position. But like

195
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:42,599
Speaker 5: you said, I mean, this is a guy. When I

196
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 5: saw that number, man, it was just like wow, that's

197
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 5: what we're in basketball numbers now, we're in soccer numbers now,

198
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 5: Like that's who.

199
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 2: Two thirty one guaranteed.

200
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 4: And obviously, just the criticism that I'm here and coming

201
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 4: down the line, and we've we've talked about this on

202
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 4: the show is playoff performance. Everybody wants to see, like, hey,

203
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 4: the numbers need to represent what you do. Also in

204
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 4: the playoffs, they don't judge other quarterbacks by that, but

205
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 4: they judged that and that's crazy because look a look

206
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 4: at ma Manson Jackson, but he became the highest paid

207
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 4: with one playoff win.

208
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: Herb, that's my guy. You knows my guy.

209
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 4: But he hasn't won anything when it comes to the postseason.

210
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 4: But nobody really said nothing when he got his bags.

211
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 4: But jack I mean, and that's what I'm saying about

212
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 4: dak In to the contrary of what other people have

213
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 4: said and what they judge him by. And so coming

214
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 4: into this season, obviously game one, you won't see this

215
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 4: cowboy offense come out and ball in that first half,

216
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 4: they gave you all of that. They looked like him

217
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 4: and Ceedee Lamb looked like they hadn't missed any time

218
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 4: with each other. And we're going to get into other

219
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 4: parts of the start of the season on offense. But

220
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 4: the biggest question marks were surrounding the defense. There was

221
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 4: a lot of questions. It was a lot of questions

222
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 4: questions and the first question was how is zim going

223
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 4: to be different from dan Quinn? And then your estimation

224
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 4: and what you saw, how did you evaluate Week one.

225
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 2: For the Cowboys defense? Defensively?

226
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 5: You know, that was one of the best performances you know,

227
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 5: we've seen in a Week one because usually when you

228
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 5: come out in the regular season, the defense has slightly

229
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 5: there's slightly a little bit ahead of you know, offenses

230
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 5: out there. You know everybody, it's a moving part offensively,

231
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 5: got to know everything. Defense is kind of you're reacting,

232
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 5: so you kind of have to step up early on

233
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 5: in the season. Then we see offensive catch up whatever

234
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 5: the case may be. But this defense for the Dallas Cowboys, man,

235
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 5: they were playing like their hair was on fire. And

236
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 5: like you said, there were so many questions going into

237
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 5: this game. You know, what can we see from this

238
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 5: run defense? You're starting two well one one rookie started,

239
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 5: which was Kaitlyn Carson, but you know overshown missed his

240
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 5: whole first season, so just basically his first action out there.

241
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 5: You know, you're starting these young guys out there. What

242
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 5: can they do you under a new system? You got

243
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 5: Kendricks in there, is he still that linebacker that he

244
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 5: was Pro Bowl lot?

245
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 2: These are the questions that I had, you know, I

246
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 2: was going out there on the list. I'm not sure

247
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 2: I don't know what we're gonna see Diggs.

248
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 4: We know what he was, but coming off in acl

249
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 4: can he still be that guy on the outside. I mean,

250
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 4: there were so many questions in there, and a lot

251
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 4: of them got answered in my opinion. And when you

252
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 4: look at Cleveland, I was surprised that they went away

253
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 4: from the run so early. I mean, that's something that

254
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 4: it just kind of boggles my mind. When the Cowboys

255
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 4: go getst these teams, they go away from the run

256
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 4: super early. But whatever the case may be, they fell

257
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 4: right into that trap that dan Quinn had for this

258
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 4: defense last year.

259
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 5: And now Mike Zim's doing the same thing. You get behind,

260
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 5: they're gonna sick the dogs after you. And the missile

261
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 5: is that what it is now? But the missile? I

262
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 5: mean you talk about relentless motor. I mean there was

263
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 5: times when he.

264
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 4: Was chipped double team, it didn't matter he was getting

265
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 4: He made life so hard for Watson or on Sunday,

266
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 4: it was ridiculous. The man was running for his life

267
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 4: each and every time Oh diggi Zo would join the party.

268
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 4: The Marcus lords turned the clock back like it was

269
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 4: twenty eighteen.

270
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 2: That's where I was going. I was. I was. I

271
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 2: can't laugh. I was.

272
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 5: I was fibergasted because I thought there would be a

273
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 5: better performance offensively for the Cleveland Browns cause we talked

274
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 5: about the weapons on the outside, got Cooper, Jerry, Judy, Joeku.

275
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 5: This is a physical team. Even though Chubb was hurt,

276
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 5: Ford's no slouch in the backfield. That guy back and ball.

277
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 5: So I'm sitting there thinking, man like man, eventually Cleveland's

278
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 5: gonna get it rolling. But it just never happened. That

279
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 5: past rush was immense and Russian cover was working together

280
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 5: because the young pup on the outside the.

281
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 2: Corner killing Carson. Come on, he was playing now, he

282
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: was playing. He showed no fear when he got up

283
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 2: and started, you know, talking to talk.

284
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 5: I said, okay, my man got that confidence roll roll

285
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 5: so defensively man, it was, it wasn't showing. And I

286
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 5: was impressed because I did not think that's what I

287
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 5: was going to see on Sunday.

288
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 2: Well some of the things.

289
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 4: And I asked you that question because I know you

290
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 4: had the questions about the linebacker room right away. Kendricks did,

291
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 4: as long as he's been in the NFL, and how

292
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 4: long are you going to have how effective.

293
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 2: Is he going to be able to be with those years?

294
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 4: And also how would dig Digg's respond to the a

295
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 4: cl injury injury. One thing that I saw right off

296
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 4: the back that this defense was flying, right. That was

297
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 4: the one thing, like he's just sitting there watching it

298
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 4: and you're saying, like just doing a comparison between last

299
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 4: year and this year, and dan Quinn's defense was flying too,

300
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 4: but the speed on the field was apparent. One of

301
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 4: the things you were worried about was the too high

302
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 4: safety look okay, and then you saw a lot of

303
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 4: times he t tinkered with especially played with watching with

304
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 4: I thought they was gonna be back the whole time, right,

305
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 4: they moved and he did a lot of maneuver into that.

306
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 4: But the one thing that I thought that was so

307
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 4: key and then matchup, and I thought the matchup would

308
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 4: be more against the safeties than it was the linebackers.

309
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 4: But the linebacker's ability to play in space, that is

310
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 4: something that going back years past, especially last year, and

311
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 4: I mean, look not to say that Lady Vandersch was

312
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 4: not a good linebacker. He was, but just being able

313
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 4: to run out of space and being aware conscious keeping

314
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 4: the same leverage you saw that a lot from the

315
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 4: linebackers yesterday, you know, and then also being able to

316
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 4: get out into the flats. Now, my expectation with digs

317
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 4: was a little bit different. I thought they would play

318
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 4: more zone with digs than anything. And you saw them

319
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 4: change the coverage up a lot, and just the fact

320
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 4: that everybody was running to the ball. You saw the

321
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 4: pursuit angles that these guys were taking. And I'm like, look,

322
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 4: number one, every team that we faced week one, all

323
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 4: the way through eighteen, they have ran the ball at us.

324
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 4: How effective would we be in stopping the run? And

325
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 4: you saw right away nobody's talking about it. Mozzie Smith

326
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 4: had a good game. Mozzie Smith had a good game.

327
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 4: He wasn't out there doing the hockey pok no White,

328
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. You saw Mozzie Smith and this

329
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 4: defensive line was holding their position and allowing the linebackers

330
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 4: to run. But also Barry pointing out what you said

331
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 4: about not only Tank but Micah. How was coach Zimmerman

332
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 4: going to use Michael Parsons And to me, he said,

333
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 4: I'm not changing the recipe. I'm gonna move you around.

334
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 4: I know exactly what kind of player you want to be.

335
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 4: And like you said, he was absolutely relentless, but he

336
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 4: was so disruptive that at times. And I'm just going,

337
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 4: I'm just just taking a simple size of the first

338
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 4: of the first half, twenty three plays, fifty three yards

339
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 4: in the total.

340
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 2: That's wild.

341
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 4: That is complete and utter domination. And look, first first

342
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 4: week of in the NFL. I understand, I'm not about

343
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 4: to jump out the kick yet, I'm on my way,

344
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 4: but that to me was the tailtale sign that we

345
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 4: needed to see from this defense. That obviously, as you

346
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 4: go through the season and you look to the playoffs

347
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 4: and now you can't obviously you don't want to go

348
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 4: to the next week, but just based off of what

349
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 4: we saw last last year, they looked like the attention

350
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 4: to detail at stopping the run is there.

351
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 2: Oh, it was there. And when you talk about, you know, the.

352
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 5: Missile the Wazooka, when you talk about how does he

353
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 5: get to his game to the next level, because we

354
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 5: understand the pass rusher he is, He's a pass rush specialist.

355
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 5: That guy gets after the quarterback like none other. But

356
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 5: did you see how he was against the run game

357
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 5: as well? I mean the guy was penaned trading and

358
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 5: making sure that everything wasn't just let me get the quarterback.

359
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 2: Let me get the quarterback, let me affect the game

360
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 2: in other ways. He was able.

361
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 4: He was an able and good run defender. Then you

362
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 4: look at the interception that Kendricks had. He didn't just

363
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 4: belining that straight at the quarterback. He was like, Okay,

364
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 4: they left me unblocked for a reason. Let me put

365
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 4: the light bobs are turning it in there. Something's going on,

366
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 4: quick pass. Let me get my hands up.

367
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 5: Something may happen tip the ball in the air, creating

368
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 5: another turnover.

369
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 2: For this defense.

370
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 5: I loved every part of his game there, but as

371
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 5: a defense as a whole. Not only were they fast

372
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 5: because you saw the speed pop off the tape, but

373
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 5: you know how physical those guys were. I mean, they

374
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 5: were coming downhill like none other. I mean, and what

375
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 5: I love the most, and I know Rob, Mary and

376
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 5: Nelly would love this as well, is it wasn't just

377
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 5: let me tackle this guy to the ground. When you

378
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 5: hit the ground, there was about three or four different

379
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 5: hats jumping on you.

380
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 4: Dlaw coming in there giving you something. Kendrick's come and

381
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 4: give you. The safety's coming down there and giving you something.

382
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 4: The hitting was at an all time high. I love

383
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 4: the way they were finishing each and every place. You

384
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 4: saw how those Browns players were getting up slow. To man,

385
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 4: that stuff hurt.

386
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 2: That's hurt.

387
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 5: Well, you got guys just piling on You ain't just

388
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 5: one on one tackles out there. So to me, that

389
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 5: was a big aspect defensively, and the communication was key

390
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 5: out there.

391
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 2: You didn't see any explosive plays.

392
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 5: Wide receivers weren't running Scott free open deep in the

393
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 5: middle of the field. Everything was kept in front of

394
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 5: this defense, and that's what you love to see.

395
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 4: That was winning football, right hey, man, and Donovan Wilson

396
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 4: made a tackle, I said, but it looked like.

397
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 2: A young barriage. That's up, man. You love it, you

398
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 2: love it, you love hey. We got man, We got

399
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 2: more coming for you. Man.

400
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 4: But we got to talk about these rookies. The Cowboys

401
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 4: started three rookies. Hadn't done that, I believe since twenty

402
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 4: twenty started three rookies on opening day.

403
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,360

Speaker 2: Being mistaken for our roker. I gotta here.

00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 4: I know you got a story. God, you know you

456
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 4: know you got a story for us. But man, I

457
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 4: want to give out a game ball. I want to

458
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 4: give out a game ball today for one of three rookies.

459
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 4: And now it's gonna be tough. It's gonna be tough.

460
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 4: And I and I illustrated like this, I say it

461
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 4: like this, all right, for your for your offensive rookies.

462
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 4: Your center Cooper bb had never played center. He was

463
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 4: hiking the ball to his mom on a lunch break.

464
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 4: I seen, you know. And so he goes from hanging

465
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 4: the ball to his mama or lunch break to starting

466
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 4: in the NFL versus the number one defense. Okay, then

467
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 4: we're gonna go out to the left tackle, Tyler Guiton,

468
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 4: rookie never played left tackle before. Okay, gets an opportunity

469
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 4: to play left tackle in the NFL. Oh blessings all around.

470
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 4: But he's going up against Miles Garrett.

471
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: Who was he was defensive player there.

472
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 4: I mean we all defensive player of the year, Miles

473
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 4: Garrett first game of the season.

474
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 2: Okay, not much to worry about. That won't keep you

475
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 2: up at night, right. But then on the other side.

476
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 4: Kayln Carson, a rookie, now has an opportunity to go

477
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 4: up against Jerry Judy and Amari Coop. So with the

478
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 4: with the performances that you saw on Sunday, if Barry

479
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 4: Church is handing out a game ball, who is Barry

480
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 4: Church handing that game ball out to man?

481
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 5: Look, I understand you know the two offensive line, and

482
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 5: they were dealing with a lot when you talk about ranking,

483
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 5: when you talk about Miles Garrett coming out the edge,

484
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 5: the way they move him around, both of those guys

485
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 5: BB and Guy and got their fair share of Miles

486
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 5: Garrett out there.

487
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 2: But you know, I got to keep it on the

488
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 2: defensive side of the football.

489
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 5: You know, I got to keep it on the defensive

490
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 5: side of the football, and I gotta go with my man, Carson.

491
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 5: I mean, now you're out there, and cornerback is one

492
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 5: of the toughest positions in football. I mean, because you

493
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 5: understand you got help sometimes, but you're on the island

494
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 5: out there.

495
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 4: If you mess up or if something goes over the

496
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 4: top of your head, the camera's on you. They zooming

497
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 4: in on that to one like this is him. They

498
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 4: following you from the play all the way to the

499
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,719
Speaker 4: sideline like man, even on the bench, you sitting here,

500
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 4: they got the camera on you.

501
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 5: Like man, this dude got burnt. But to me, I

502
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 5: think he performed extremely well out there. I mean, giving

503
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 5: the circumstances you get thrown out there week one, like

504
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 5: you said, the weapons.

505
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 2: He was going against Jerry Jude.

506
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 5: Cooper, the boys out there, you going against all stars,

507
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 5: and he was able to go out there and not

508
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,959
Speaker 5: only hold his own, but he held it down. I mean,

509
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 5: you look at it. The man was breaking on the football.

510
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 5: He was getting contested passes. I think he had two

511
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,239
Speaker 5: pass breakup. Sure interceptions, you got to come down with that,

512
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 5: But overall, man, I was I was surprised, pleasantly surprised

513
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 5: by his performance.

514
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 2: Out there filling in for Doron Bland. That's another thing.

515
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 5: You got big shoes to feel. Thern Blend is the

516
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 5: definition of a ball hocking corner. So to me, he

517
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 5: went out there held his own. You didn't see anything

518
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 5: over top of him. He was in position.

519
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 2: You know.

520
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 5: He helped his defense out immensely. So I got to

521
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 5: give my game ball because you know, love the defensive side.

522
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 2: Of the ball. Got to give it to Carson.

523
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 4: So I absolutely knew that's where you were going and

524
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 4: didn't need to be you know, I knew that you

525
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 4: yeah do it. And I'm telling you, I felt like

526
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 4: Al Harris was going to have Kayln Carson ready to go,

527
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 4: and so if anybody was going to have him prepared

528
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 4: and ready to go, it was going to be our hairs.

529
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 2: He knows that.

530
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 4: Look everything all day, all of the potential that Carson

531
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 4: had in him, the things that you saw during pregame,

532
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 4: during the preseason, and everything you saw from him out

533
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 4: in oxen Art, he just continued to just build upon

534
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 4: what you had already seen.

535
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 2: On the other side.

536
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 4: Man, for those two offensive linemen, we hadn't seen a

537
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 4: lot and there was nothing really positive coming out. I

538
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 4: think we talked about Guidon. You guys said it all week.

539
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 4: Gidan is gonna get help. They're gonna chip, they're gonna

540
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 4: bring tight ends, they're gonna do get him. He's not

541
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 4: gonna be man to man and solo in that area

542
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 4: with Miles Garrett.

543
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 2: So I want to applaud him for doing the job

544
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 2: that he did.

545
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 4: But to me, Cooper BBKA, I'm giving Cooper b b

546
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 4: a game ball because number one, the pressure is if

547
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 4: Dak doesn't get the snap, we can't do nothing. I mean,

548
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 4: you gotta give the guy that starts to party the

549
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 4: game ball because he did a good job of one

550
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 4: calling out the protections. He's calling out the protections, letting everybody.

551
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 4: I mean, he is the quarterback of the offensive line.

552
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 4: So he did that. If you pay attention to go

553
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 4: back and look at it all twenty two, my man

554
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 4: is getting to the second level. He is moving earth

555
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 4: when it comes down to double teams. I mean, look,

556
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 4: he was effective in every way.

557
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 2: Uh. And I think when you have a guy.

558
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 4: And we have been for years wanting this kind of

559
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 4: playmaker at the center a position since Frederick because and

560
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 4: to me, I think that Cooper BB's confidence as it

561
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 4: continues to grow as we get through the season. I'm

562
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 4: telling you, this is a guy that everybody's going to

563
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 4: be like, wow, how could you have seen that he

564
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 4: could move from the guard position to the center position.

565
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 4: So my game ball that I got, I'm going to

566
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 4: my KSE State email. Can action see knew he's not here,

567
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 4: but he would have called me. But I'm going I'm

568
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 4: going with BB And I thought from the rookie class,

569
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 4: I thought that he really showed his value and you know,

570
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 4: give shout out in balls to all of these guys

571
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 4: in the job that they did because I thought those

572
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 4: play outstanding.

573
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 2: But on the other side, on.

574
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 4: The other side, though, the running back room, which we

575
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 4: had questions about the running back room, this is true.

576
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 4: Are you still are you still in panic mode over

577
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 4: the running back room or did you see flashes from

578
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 4: the running back room that made you say, look, I

579
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 4: think we'll be okay if we're gonna go with this

580
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 4: recipe through the season.

581
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 5: I will say this, I liked, you know, the approach

582
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 5: they had in this game with the running backs. I mean,

583
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 5: you saw it was a running back room for a

584
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 5: running back by committee style the entire game. You know,

585
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 5: Zeke had his carriers even deuce sliding there and got

586
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 5: a carrier too, did you had, you know, Ceedee Lamb,

587
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 5: you know, getting a reverse in there as well.

588
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 2: So yeah, coachs as well.

589
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 5: So I loved how you know, Mike McCarthy understood that

590
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 5: he doesn't have that extra dynamic guy it he can

591
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 5: just turn around and hand the football too, You're gonna

592
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 5: have to sprinkle in things here and there. I think

593
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 5: he did a great job calling that and keeping that

594
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 5: defense for the Browns, honest, So they couldn't just pin

595
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 5: their ears back and get after Dak Prescot because they

596
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 5: ran the ball, believe.

597
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 2: Twenty five times. They got a hundred yards sold.

598
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 5: You know, they're averaging about a four clip and to me,

599
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 5: that's winning football.

600
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 6: Now.

601
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 5: The question is when he comes to that, Oh, let

602
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 5: me get him some more flowers as well. Though, the

603
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 5: way they were able to pick up blitzes was outstanding.

604
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 5: Whether it's you know, Rico Zeke, those guys did an

605
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 5: amazing job picking up the blitzes because you know, Schwartze

606
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 5: was sending them from all over the place, and Dak

607
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 5: Prescott looked pretty much for the entire day.

608
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 2: A couple you know instances here and there.

609
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 5: But he, you know, looked cool, calm and collected pretty

610
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 5: much the entire game. And I had a lot to

611
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 5: do with those running backs picking up those blitzeres. So

612
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 5: they did an amazing job in that regard as well.

613
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 5: But I'm not sure if this recipe can be sustainable,

614
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 5: Like if you can go out there and continuously, you know,

615
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 5: rotate these backs in there and clip out a hundred yards,

616
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 5: because there's gonna be games when you know that running

617
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 5: the attack, you might rush it for twenty five times,

618
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 5: but you might only be getting fifty yards as a whole.

619
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,239
Speaker 5: And are they gonna revert back to what they did

620
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 5: last year when that running game isn't working that well,

621
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 5: which is throw the football more with Dak Prescott and

622
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 5: rely more on his shoulders. I don't think that's a

623
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 5: recipe for success. I think that balance attack is always

624
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 5: the best option when you talk about Dallas Cowboys football.

625
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 5: But I'm not so sure that this can be sustainable.

626
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 5: It was great week one, but we'll see what they

627
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 5: do going further on.

628
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 4: Look, when I was looking at the running game, we

629
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 4: talked about this all week and we's heading into week

630
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 4: one about the balance that the Cowboys had to have

631
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 4: in order to stop this Mike Schwartz defense from pinning

632
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 4: their ears back and coming after that, you had to

633
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 4: be effective and picking up picking up first downs in

634
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 4: the running game was what we had to do. You

635
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 4: have to move the chain third down, you have to

636
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 4: be big on Thursda down. You had to be able

637
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 4: to set to make those linebackers respect play actions all right,

638
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 4: and you saw throughout the entire game that was what

639
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 4: that was the setting that Mike McCarthy was, he was

640
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 4: laying those seeds forward and they had to respect it.

641
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 4: Now when it got to the point that they were

642
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 4: just like, look, we can't. We got to play our game,

643
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 4: and they reverted back into who they are and that's

644
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 4: just we're gonna blitch. You were gonna have to come

645
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 4: after you, and we don't believe that there's no way

646
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 4: that you can find the open man. And to me,

647
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 4: as you talk about those blitz pick ups and packages

648
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 4: and that's what I was saying to you about laughed

649
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 4: at me, but I was talking about when we let

650
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 4: go a Pollard and what we needed from Zeke because

651
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 4: you needed that guy to be able to feel that

652
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 4: they gap on those double a gaps blitzes. But also

653
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,479
Speaker 4: you saw when they went cover zero down on their

654
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,239
Speaker 4: pass to Cooks. Now, the hell of a play by

655
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 4: dak Man that come on. That was just so I

656
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 4: think really a lot of times when people are watching football,

657
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 4: they don't realize what a pressure cooker moment that is

658
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 4: for a quarterback when you're facing cover zero.

659
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 5: Basically exactly when you looked at it, cover zero For

660
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 5: those who don't know, it's basically the defense is blitzing

661
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 5: one more gap that you can pick up. Like you

662
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 5: don't have enough offensive line or backs to block everybody

663
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 5: that they had, so one person is going to be free.

664
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 5: And in that situation, I mean, you just saw what

665
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 5: makes Dak the quarterback he is because he had a

666
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 5: guy number fifty eight. I believe it was Jordan Hicks

667
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 5: from the Browns, a linebacker screaming right down his face

668
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 5: he can't right through the B gap.

669
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 2: I mean they left, you know, I guess they picked up.

670
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 5: However, they wanted that protection to get picked up, and

671
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 5: he happened to be the guy that was Scott Free

672
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 5: coming in there. And when you look at the play,

673
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 5: Dak buys himself time by backpedaling a little bit, but

674
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 5: when he launches that ball into the area ended up

675
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 5: being a corner route to the back of pile line

676
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 5: for Cooks.

677
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 4: When he threw the ball, Coach wasn't even in his break.

678
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 4: Coach was still, you know, looking at the dB, looking

679
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 4: at whatever he had to do. He was getting to

680
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 4: the top of his route. He wasn't in his break

681
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 4: looking back. Nothing like that.

682
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 5: The anticipation and accuracy in which Dak was able to

683
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 5: throw that pass, I mean, that was a hell of

684
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 5: a pass and the hell of a play overall.

685
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 4: And that to me, just like you said, man, it

686
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 4: showed that where Dak is at this point in his

687
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 4: career to be able to make that touch pass over

688
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 4: the you know, to the corner like that and again

689
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 4: get your court catch your wide receiver en route before

690
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 4: he even comes out of his break. It takes guys.

691
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 4: It takes guys a lifetime. And when you see a

692
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 4: guy do that in college, you're like, he's the number one.

693
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,719
Speaker 2: One because he absolutely could do it.

694
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 4: And those are like the little things that I think

695
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 4: for me when I'm I'm thinking about Mike McCarthy in

696
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 4: his offense, the way that he has these guys prepared

697
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 4: for moments like that, and just now seeing how cool

698
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 4: and calm dak is used to be, and just from

699
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 4: my experience, used to be a situation where time out,

700
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 4: we need to come back and talk about that. He's

701
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 4: able to handle that, you know, make the prognosis on

702
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 4: the fly and then find the open man. But to me,

703
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 4: like I see where your questions is are on the

704
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 4: running game as far as is this sustainable, But it's

705
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 4: also if it's going to be a running back by

706
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 4: committee like this, and I'm only asking Zeke ten carries

707
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 4: forty yards, two catches nine yards, I'm asking Rico Dada

708
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 4: to come in for eight carres for twenty six yards,

709
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 4: and we're going to distribute this all the way through

710
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 4: the wide receivers, tight ends, l Buggie.

711
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 2: He did that sustainable?

712
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 5: You think z can come in here and give you

713
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 5: ten for fifty every every game.

714
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 4: It's hard for me. It's hard for me now to

715
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 4: question whether he can't. And it you know, if I

716
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 4: think if you're if your offensive line is giving you

717
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 4: opportunities like this, and if you watch it all twenty two, Evenrecodell,

718
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 4: I have some holds that he could have got through

719
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 4: the turf Monthster got him. But still I think it's

720
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 4: sustainable because you're gonna you're not facing the number one

721
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 4: defense in the league each and every week. True, And

722
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 4: so if I'm not having to face that, then that

723
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 4: gives me, gives me the hope, that hope that I

724
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 4: can actually mail and hope that I can actually make

725
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 4: that happen. And to me, I don't need Zeke to

726
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 4: be one hundred and twenty five twenty five yards a game.

727
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 4: I think what I'm I'm asking Zike to do is

728
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 4: be fresh when his time is called. And that's exactly

729
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 4: what Mike was giving you. He's like, look, every time

730
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 4: I put one of these guys in, whatever the rotation

731
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 4: is going to be, they're going to be fresh each

732
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 4: and every time I put them in.

733
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 5: Ye. And to me, that goes, you know, credit to

734
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 5: the coach and staff the road, the way they rotating.

735
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 2: They out coach Cleveland hundred percent in this game.

736
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 5: Because defensively, to me and who I'm out of question Schwartz,

737
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 5: he's had, you know, number one defenses and all that,

738
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 5: And I understand, but why are you leaving cities single?

739
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 5: Like I understand you got faith in your corners, you know,

740
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 5: nuse war. Those guys are Pro bowlers and you got,

741
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 5: you know.

742
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 4: Faith in your guys. But on your see that they're

743
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 4: getting wore out. I told you, what what are you doing?

744
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 4: And that's to say, offensively, for the Browns, why are

745
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 4: we going away?

746
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 2: The game was what they seven or three? What are

747
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 2: we doing? Fortally had twelve carries? It's like what are.

748
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 4: Sean Watson through the football forty five times? To me,

749
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,479
Speaker 4: that's just I'm like, what a why?

750
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 2: Why are we? What are we thinking here? Like you,

751
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 2: your formula is being.

752
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 5: Physical and running the football right the coach, I don't

753
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 5: know what happens, but it's just I don't know if

754
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 5: they get to q Ford or you know, they got

755
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 5: too much faith in what they're they're running here. But man,

756
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 5: like you got CD over there, you got a bunch

757
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 5: of unproven talent on the other side.

758
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 2: Man, make them beat you, right, you know what I'm saying.

759
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 4: And then offensively, they pulled a Baltimore like last year.

760
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 4: We're gonna spread it out and we're gonna throw the

761
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 4: stag all over the yard.

762
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 2: That's all right.

763
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 4: You feed writing the head because he gonna send the

764
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 4: dogs after you say, we got some brand new for y'all.

765
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 2: We got something.

766
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 5: Coordinators, get the I gotta show him I could do this, man,

767
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,720
Speaker 5: you better turn around the hand out football office.

768
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 2: How to see the look? How to see the look?

769
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 4: Did CD looked like there was any russ which is

770
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 4: wild no to me, And that was surprising to me, Like,

771
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 4: you know, after a couple of players, he would you

772
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 4: see him him a little tired, but for him to

773
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 4: go out there and that connection still be what it is,

774
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 4: I mean, the dot it was just dots.

775
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 5: I mean, he was just he was. He looked unguardable.

776
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 5: He looked unguardable. And I'm sure it's just gonna get

777
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 5: better and better as the season goes on.

778
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,120

00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 5: I had the yeah, I had them boys losing this game.

846
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 5: See sometimes, man, you just get caught up in the hype.

847

Speaker 4: Man I've been telling your boy, be trying to say,

848
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 4: y'all been trying to help you, man, But that's all.

849
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 2: It's a long season, Cowboy Nation. We're gonna win them over.

850
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 4: So linebacker room is something we've been talking about because

851
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,439
Speaker 4: you've been concerned about it. You really felt this though, Like, man,

852
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 4: they bring in Eric Hendricks, and not that you hated

853
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 4: on Kendricks. It was just like, look, man, it's a

854
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 4: guy that's long into two and how can he impact

855
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:42,720
Speaker 4: this room.

856
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 2: Let me tell you what I saw from fifty. Let

857
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 2: me hear it.

858
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 4: Fifty was sideline the sideline and he was running like

859
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 4: he didn't have anyone on him. The other thing that

860
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 4: I loved about this linebacker group that's different from last year.

861
00:38:55,239 --> 00:39:00,280
Speaker 4: They were taking on blocks coming downhill. I mean, picking

862
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 4: these guys off. I saw one tackle I think it

863
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 4: was overshone. Overshawn is scraping. He hits the tackle right

864
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 4: behind him comes Eric Kendricks underneath and makes the tackle.

865
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 4: And I'm telling you, like, that's the beauty of playing defense. Man.

866
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,399
Speaker 4: As you know, it's a link in the chain. All

867
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 4: things work together, right, And it's like when you start

868
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 4: to see a defense working that way, It's like, man,

869
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 4: it's hard to stop a defense and guys align the

870
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,760
Speaker 4: way that the Cowboys was playing the lineman assignment football.

871
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 4: But the linebacker room to me looked like it was revamped.

872
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 4: It was redone.

873
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, when you look at defenses, I mean, you

874
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 5: know that's what hurt this team last year. You know,

875
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 5: you had a lot of guys going out there and

876
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 5: they were effective, but there was there was times when

877
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 5: you know, if you had four so you have contained,

878
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 5: and you go on the inside and you lose contained,

879
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 5: you know, that's you know, that becomes a whole different ballgame.

880
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 5: But what you saw from this defense was, you know,

881
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 5: everybody knew the role and what.

882
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 2: The responsibility was.

883
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 5: If you were supposed to go out there and make

884
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 5: sure that running back cuts inside of you to where

885
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 5: all your helps from him coming from, that's exactly what

886
00:39:58,480 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 5: they did.

887
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 2: There was nobody going in and doing their own thing.

888
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 5: Everybody was kind of like you said, Lincoln Chain, this

889
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 5: guy's gonna have the force. He's gonna come in and

890
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 5: make a tackle, or he's gonna go ahead and spill

891
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 5: and go inside force the back on the outside, and

892
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 5: there's gonna be somebody waiting for him, so they were

893
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 5: all lockeding step together, and I think that had a

894
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 5: lot to do with Kendricks and his communicating abilities out there.

895
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 5: He's the quarterback of this defense. That's what I was saying,

896
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 5: you know, pretty much all offseason. This is the guy

897
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,720
Speaker 5: who's gonna be the quarterback of your defenses. He's able

898
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 5: to remain healthy and he can go through the entire

899
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,280
Speaker 5: seventeen game season or whatever. He's gonna be a big

900
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 5: time contributor to what this defense has. Now to me,

901
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 5: you got a lot of young pups underneath him. You

902
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 5: got Leah File, you got over shown who was outstanding

903
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 5: in that game. And that's why I believe they cannot

904
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 5: lose Kendricks like he has to be there the entirety

905
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 5: of the season, and I hope he is because he's

906
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 5: that quarterback. He got those guys lined up in the

907
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 5: right situation to where they weren't doing too much think

908
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 5: and it was you know what, you see ball, you

909
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 5: go get ball.

910
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 2: They were flying one hundred miles an hour.

911
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 5: And that's what he can do for that defense in there,

912
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 5: not only with his play and stopping run making players

913
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 5: out there getting interceptions, but lining people up to where

914
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 5: all they have to do is I know my responsibility,

915
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 5: let me go ahead and get after it.

916
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 2: And that's what he brings to the table. And he

917
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 2: had an outstanding the game. Man.

918
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 4: My first thought was, that's a linebacker. Yeah, that's a linebacker.

919
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 4: And you saw I mean, he maneuver, moved and did

920
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,919
Speaker 4: everything and operated as a linebacker. And as Barry Church

921
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 4: is letting you know, I mean, and that's why I

922
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 4: think it's so good when you get this, get the

923
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 4: feedback from the players and guys that have been in

924
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 4: the heat of that moment that understand how defense work.

925
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 4: And I think anybody thinking you could just plug and

926
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 4: play guys, you know, my key's bell to his credit,

927
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 4: I mean, and I'm not trying to hate on them.

928
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 4: I'm he did the best he could do. But he

929
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 4: was completely out of position. It's a different read, it's

930
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 4: a different look being that closer to the line of

931
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 4: scrimmage that he's used to seeing from his safety position.

932
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 4: And I think a lot of time he was just

933
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 4: out over his skis. There's nothing that he could do

934
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 4: about it. But when you see Eric Kendricks in his

935
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 4: communication that he's having getting guys, getting guys lined up

936
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 4: maneuver of Michael Parsons and telling him what even the

937
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:03,399
Speaker 4: communication after bad plays. That kind of leadership you've been

938
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 4: craving for. That You're not out there with a guy

939
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 4: that's not sure of himself. He's been in the league

940
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 4: for a long time. He knows what it takes to

941
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 4: get it done. But on the other side, for me,

942
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 4: overshown and this is a guy that, right, I'm going

943
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 4: to say this, like you hear things and you see

944
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,439
Speaker 4: little splashes and you're like, oh, yeah, that's that's that's good.

945
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 4: You know, I like that. You know he did.

946
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 2: I No, that stuffed the tape man. Yes he did.

947
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 4: And that and that's when I and that's exactly what

948
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,439
Speaker 4: I'm talking about. A guy that makes a splash play

949
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 4: on the sack that we were just talking about him

950
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 4: and Micah running at an angle and then all of

951
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 4: a sudden, it just looked like he went in hyperdrive.

952
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 4: He did take off. He take off and that kind

953
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 4: and that kind of speed. I just really I think

954
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 4: you see it from special players like Micah, but you

955
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 4: know everybody else you're looking to see ken they have

956
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 4: that kind of I'm coming downhill effect on defense, and

957
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 4: he showed that yesterday and.

958
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 6: Not to me.

959
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 5: And it goes back and not to take away from

960
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 5: over showing audims as they balled out, but this is

961
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 5: to me why.

962
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,320
Speaker 2: I couldn't understand the approach to this game.

963
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 5: You got a young line back in there, you got

964
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 5: a young core on the inside with Mazie and those

965
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 5: young boys, you got kneeling on now side.

966
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 2: Why they are The Browns usually have.

967
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 5: One of the most physical, complex running games International Football League.

968
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,959
Speaker 5: Guys pulling this way, counters, traps, wearing blocks, you're gonna

969
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 5: get it all. Usually when you go against the FANSKI

970
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 5: in that you know Brown's offense.

971
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 4: But they went away from it completely and you had

972
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 4: two young pupps in there on the inside.

973
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 2: I didn't understand it.

974
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 5: But kudos to the Dallas Cowboys and Zimver being ready

975
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 5: for anything and they took advantage of it.

976
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 4: Look, I'm gonna go ahead and say Paul's early, but

977
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,440

978
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:46,240
Speaker 4: and Jordan Phillips, and I'm telling you, in the second

979
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,279
