My man Church went to 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:24.359 Miammie you know, and that's and it's expensive about that, Okay, Vegas, 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.120 you can kind of get away with some stuff. We 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:29.640 used to have some days. More day used to be 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:31.760 a fun time.

You like, look here, man, all I'm trying 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:04.960 to do is not pull a muscle. The most packed 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.760 room in the locker room gonna be that sauna. Everybody 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:09.920 and their mom piling into that sauna trying to get 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.119 it out there pours. Man. It's rough, man, it's rough, 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.160 but but it's but it's needed though, you know, because 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.320 you're going into the season to be here, and once 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.480 the season is here, you rolling you ain't going nowhere. Okay, 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:22.320 So so this is good. This is good. I'm glad 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:27.440 we have this conversation. You guys were Vets. A rookie's 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.960 falling into the same thing of having enjoyed the Memorial 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:33.400 or that weekend too much. Well, no, I don't know 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:35.560 about too much. I know that if you're a rookie 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.520 that you should probably be staying in the city that 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:42.040 you're playing in and enjoying those Memorial Day festivt. It's 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.120 a long weekend. Yes, you got to get away from 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.200 the game. You can go have your drink, go chill 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:48.760 with some family, eat some barbecue, stuff like that. But yeah, 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:51.040 if you a VET and you you know your way 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:52.840 around that, you know your body, you know what you're 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:55.760 getting into, then yeah, do what you gotta do because 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.960 you should be responsible enough to know yourself. And exactly 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:01.240 like you said, if you rookie, you gotta stay around 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:04.400 this area. But also the Vets, if they missed OTA 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:06.040 here and there, you know they're not gonna get too 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:08.119 We ain't gonna get to too much after the vest. 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:10.480 Like if the law missed the OTA, he'll come back, 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:12.640 he'll be the back to. If a rookie, man, you 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:14.440 hearing about it for the whole week you was here 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:16.200 on Monday. You would have saw that you was here 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:18.480 on Monday, you would have saw that. So Memorial Day 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.560 they expect you to build it. That's yeah. I know 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.560 the week, that next week, that next week, miss you, 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:26.120 miss you come back. Hey man, coach, I think I 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:27.640 need to sit out of practice to day. I might 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:30.480 have I need a VET day. Then you're a rookie 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:32.800 and you have that issue, then you got a problem. 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:40.000 That's why it's you know, voluntary, voluntary, voluntary, voluntary man 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:43.240 tour exactly, that exactly. Shout out to Lamark Jackson for 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:47.480 reminded everybody. Yes, they are voluntary. They voluntary. Leave me 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:51.800 alone when an MVP you can say that, Yeah you can. 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.560 You can say that in league start for quarterbacks. Yes, 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:57.800 you can decide to do the Kyler Murray's not showing him. 0:04:57.839 --> 0:04:59.320 You can do that. You can do that, you know. 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:04.120 But if these rookies out here or or you're you know, 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:08.120 you're tered still, you need to be here. Absolutely, yeah, absolutely, 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:09.279 you need to be here. You need to be ready 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:11.400 to go, especially you know, you know we're talking about 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.920 the officer lines. You know how how we performed last 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:16.320 year at that position. Yes, we need to be getting 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:18.440 all of the practice that we possibly can. And if 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.600 you're in competition with somebody, you don't want to get 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:22.719 the other person get that leg up like I'm making 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:24.560 sure I'm in if I'm battling with another stake that 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.160 I'm making sure I'm at all the ota, all the practices. 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.920 I'm over there. What's up, coach? And now let's talk 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:31.560 about this for a little bit, y'all. You want to 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:33.600 break this down. Even though I knew how to you 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:35.960 know what what the coverage was? This new this new thing. 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:37.320 What we're doing here, coach? How are we doing this? 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:39.440 To be sitting there asking you? Yeah, so he covered 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:43.160 three I'll be like, bro, you've been running even though 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:44.919 you don't want to know that. He looked like he 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:49.000 like he into into a coach, I'm into fifteen yards. 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.520 But what if this happens there's somebody get over route 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:54.760 mark play fifteen? What if I want to move back 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:58.760 to sixteen? I'm good then, right, coach, I'll be like church, church, 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:04.479 exact place, church years six. Don't look at this, dude, 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:07.279 like your church. When we do what disguises, We've been 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.159 doing the same disguise for the past three years. I 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.280 just need to know that's how we're doing. You just 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:14.000 want them to know. When they had the meetings and 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:16.880 they talked old churches, you know what he not. That 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:20.760 guy knows what he's doings. Can we get three four churches? 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:23.640 He asked church as a leader. He no, that's dude, 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:27.880 that's the total. And then there's a thing line because 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:29.200 he'd be like, man, I don't know when church? That 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:30.919 would you think about church? And said code, I don't know. 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:34.560 He's still asked me about covering three. He's in year 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:38.240 eight asking me how how many how many deep defenders 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.640 we got to cover the sand? For the dollar fruit 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:43.679 he got the group, he got the bathroom shot. Obviously 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:48.200 you got two bags. Now this is because the bag 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:50.920 here wasn't as big as the one shot got him. 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:56.200 Y'all be sleeping on the first twelve that he got. Okay, 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:58.480 he was twelve plus one shot the boys. I can't 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:00.599 there on the school to boys like man. I have noticed, 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.239 DUDEY ain't doing what I think he's doing. I'm just scooting, 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:08.719 just scooting the long happy. Yeah, I'll tell you what man, 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:13.920 players Lash Hotel, Barry Church, Danny mc craig knew we scrugs. 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:15.560 I want to read these names to you, and I 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:19.160 just want to get your reaction, okay, Uh, Dennis Houston, 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:26.720 Jaquari Robertson, Michael Gallup, Tie Fry Fogel, t J Vasher, 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:32.040 Jalen Tilbert, do Ontario, Drummond, Brandon Smith, Semi Fit Hoko, 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:36.840 James Washington, Noah Brown, Ceedee Lamb. Those are your receivers 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.440 right now on the roster, twelve of them. Shelman, thoughts, 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:42.680 do we think that that that receiving cord that you 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:44.640 just named off or aout the receiving core because a 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:46.000 lot of those cats won't make the team, But that 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:48.560 receiving group right there, do we think they can do 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:52.040 some damage? I mean, Gallabay might not even be there 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.480 for the first five weeks, Semi for Hoko, who hasn't 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.400 had to catch his whole rookie season. We got Toldbert 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.840 he's a rookie, Ceedee Lamb. He's proved that he can 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:01.920 do some damage in this league. But can't he do 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.000 it by himself when he doesn't have somebody over there 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:06.400 taking some coverage away from him? Can he do that? 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:09.760 We have to find out. But to me, that receiving 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:13.640 corps it's locking some some some pop, some explosiveness. A man. 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.800 If I'm a secondary, If I'm in a play for 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:17.920 the Eagles or the Giants and I'm in their secondary 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:21.120 and we going against Dallas, I'm like, ain't no, you 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:22.960 know there, ain't no. You gotta match this guy over here, 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:24.720 you gotta match that guy over there. I would feel 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:28.400 extremely confident in my secondary going against going against Dods 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:30.720 cow Boys. I'm just that's just high dealing. Yeah, I'm 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:34.560 I'm feeling pretty good about about going against the Cowboys 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.640 if I'm playing defensive back. You know, on paper, right, 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:39.800 we haven't we haven't seen a lot of these guys 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:41.280 be able to get out there and see what they 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.880 could do with that. Like I said James Washington, he 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:47.880 has the ability to be a good receiver if he 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:50.160 catches the ball right. Once he gets the ball in 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.720 his hands, he's fine. Ceedee lamb. We know can be 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.400 a top player. They just have to be able to 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.160 utilize him in the ways that he is best utilized. Right, 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.240 So when he gets the ball in his hands, he 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:02.920 is unstoppable pretty much. Right. You get him some bubble screens, 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:04.800 you get him some short passes, let him catch and run. 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:08.120 I think he's okay. None of this matters though, all right, 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:11.200 because like I'm going to continue to say, it depends 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:15.600 on what the offensive coordinator does with these weapons. What 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:17.640 are we going to do? Are we going to make sure, 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.000 like I said, when it's third and five, it's CD 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:22.000 Lamb gonna get the ball. Are we gonna see Noah 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:25.600 Brown be one of the guys that Dak is looking for? Right? 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:28.240 Are you going to make sure that you the reason 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.360 why you picked CD Lamb in the first round because 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:32.760 you wanted him to be a des Brian type player. 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:34.560 Are you going to allow him to be that? Because 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.160 what we've seen was they didn't allow Amark Cooper to 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.520 do that. So until you get that together, it don't 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:42.640 matter who you got playing receiver. Man, they just gonna 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:44.760 be running the roster's on the paper and they're gonna 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:46.719 be expecting Dad to make the right read and those 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:48.640 guys to catch the ball. But as far as like 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:50.720 one of those stars who was going to change the game, 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.200 if you ain't called them the right plays, then we're 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:55.520 not gonna see it that way. We've seen it throughout 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.240 the league, especially last year. If you got that bona 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:00.600 fide stud receiver. You gotta found ways to give him 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:02.680 the ball. I mean, we looked at La what Stafford 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:04.920 does with Cooper cup He got the Triple Cown for 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:08.160 receiving yards, touchdowns, receptions. He was a big part of 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.280 that offense. Did you look at DeVonta you Adams in 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:12.360 Denver or not Denver in Green Bay? And I'm not 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.079 saying we had those pieces. But the way that we're 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.319 putting CD CD Lamb on a pedestal saying he's just 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:19.440 number one guy and he's an upgrade over Mark Cooper 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:21.640 and all this stuff, you would think they would they 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.439 would figure out a way to specialize this guy and 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:26.559 make him get the ball as much as possible. But 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:29.120 I'm not sure we're gonna do that. They pay a 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:31.079 Mark Cooper twenty million a year and did not and 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:32.680 they still didn't give us what I'm saying. They still 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:34.640 didn't give him the rock like like like we thought 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:38.199 they should. So it's gotta be a tough situation, but 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:39.800 you got it. If it's Kelling Moore, you got to 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:42.120 figure like, this is the guy that's gonna make our 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.240 passing attack go, So we gotta figure out a way 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.160 to get him the ball. And he's got it can't 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:48.360 be scheme over player. It has to be player over scheme. 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:50.839 And if we're getting bubble screens and deep overs in 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:52.959 those special plays, it needs to be going to number 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.600 eighty eight. Dalton shows may get more kids than CD 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:57.680 LAMB and if they run the same office they do, 0:10:57.920 --> 0:10:59.640 we run it like we ran it last year. He 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:01.160 would be he who have more kids. I can see 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.880 that happening too. So last week we saw James Washington 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:07.120 in the boot. I practice, what was that on about? 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.559 And ain't looking too good that he's in the boot? 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:14.200 Big T Smith, Go Okay. I thought we was gonna 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:15.440 wait for I thought he was gonna wait for that, 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:19.560 wait that wa that wait for that wait wait, wait, 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:23.000 wait for that wait. But my man's in the boot, 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.760 So I mean it's but for him. I don't think 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:28.679 he has that much of an injury history for us 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:30.240 to be really worried about it, like saying it is 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:33.160 voluntary OTAs. At the moment, I still think he's gonna 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:34.760 be able to pick up with the offenses. I think 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:37.640 his one the one knock on him to me from 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:39.559 what I've seen from him when he was in Pittsburgh, 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:42.360 was being able to hold onto the ball, being able 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:44.240 to catch the ball. He's usually in the right spot, 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.600 he's usually when he catches, he usually usually going to 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:48.640 make a play or run after the catch. But he 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:50.480 has to hold on to the ball. And I think 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.120 that just goes with refocusing and getting on those jugs. 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:54.600 And I don't think that him being in the boot 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.080 right now it's gonna set him back as much as 0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:00.080 it was set maybe a Tyler Smith and he he 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:01.920 was in the boot right now when he really needs 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:04.040 to be out there learning his footwork and getting his 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.600 hand placement right. You don't think James and that need 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.400 to get that connection going throughout this ota. I think 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:12.360 I think they do, But I don't think it's something 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:14.840 that will stop him from being that type of player, because, 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:16.840 like I said, if he's going to get the routes 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:19.400 like we see, we've seen guys like nor Brown stepping 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.600 in last year. When you say that they got a connection, 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:24.080 they've been it wasn't like Amari Cooper and it wasn't 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:25.800 like Ceedee Lamb, Like They're gonna find a way for 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:27.400 the guy to get open on some routes. He just 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:29.360 needs to know the playbook. So I think he's gonna 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:34.240 be fine. So that's the right set the wide receiver 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.760 room and seeing people talk about that, there's question marks 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:41.000 and that's going to be a very interesting UM as 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.040 they continue. The olt isn't going to minicamp here is 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:45.880 what are they going to do? Especially week one, UM 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:49.200 two and three, because that's when Michael Gallus right now 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:51.040 not expected to be a part of this lineup. So 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:53.640 let's see what happened to here. I think a lot 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:58.760 of a lot of talking heads are bringing up Jalen Tolbert, 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:01.000 and I just feel like it's a lot to try 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.719 to put a third round rookie from South Alabama that 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.400 I just that's a lot a lot. That's a lot. Man. 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:09.600 Is this a guy that was like, I'm coming in 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:12.959 to change the culture? Is that was that him who 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:17.840 was coming to here to change the car? Thinking about 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:22.240 how the coach is in the officeive coordinating with me. 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.680 I don't know. Like I said, listen, when I see 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:26.840 him be able to line up guys so he can 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:30.440 use whatever they do best to get them, you know, 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:32.240 in the end zone, to get him the first down, 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.840 then I'm okay with that. But until I see that, 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:37.640 I'm not with it. I've seen Cde Lamb run like 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:41.200 two jet sweeps and he was on any other team. 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.480 All Right, the dude would be getting the ball in 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.000 his hands any way you could get it to him. 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:47.680 He's great with the ball after you know, after catch 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:48.959 yards have to catch. He's one of the best in 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.480 the league in my opinion. It's just can't we get 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:54.199 him the ball. That's the that's that's that's the whole 0:13:54.480 --> 0:14:01.160 the ball couldn't get cooped. Yeah, career, Yeah, get about. 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:05.040 Let's move to that offensive line. I got conversation for 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:08.600 the Cowboys is otaser continuing here out at the start 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:11.680 where we do the show, some possible good news for 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:15.040 the offensive line, not just the Cowboys officer, but for 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:18.240 for thirty offensive lines across the thirty one offensive lines 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:23.480 in the NFL. Aaron Donald's talking about he may retire, Like, okay, 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:28.320 many played on this right here on the schedule. Is 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:31.640 this is why it matters because they are on the 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:35.800 schedule October ninth, just out there and uh and uh 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:39.480 that awesome stadium in Englewood. So yeah, October nine, Rams 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:42.800 Cowboys three twenty five on Fox. So Aaron Donald may 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.800 not be there, don't get your hopes up. I'll tell 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:52.040 you who better hope he ain't there. How about okay, 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:57.920 the whole league retire. Yeah, go ahead, I'm for it. Aaron, 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.040 get out while your kids be like Jim Brown, he 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.920 accomplished everything in eight years. Defensive Player of the Year 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:05.880 I been. But the thing is, Man, when guys are 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.320 still playing at that level and they start talk about 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:12.280 retiring the minute they sit out for a month two 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.720 months and they realized that, Man, I can still do 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.400 this and I'm actually bored at home. Good time. That's 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:19.880 what they so I wouldn't get my hopes up to 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:23.120 man just coming off a Super Bowl, just came off 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:25.360 a great season to where he's making some of the 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.440 biggest plays to get them to get them that win 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:29.120 the Super Bowl. Yeah, I don't know. His father in 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:33.720 law's on on the staff. His white worked for the 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:35.600 I don't know, Man, I think he's still around the 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:37.360 squad too much. He can have a lot of people 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:39.320 in his ear saying, hey, man, I think we could 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:43.480 do this again. He's also looking for another contract. That's 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.760 what he went from the highest pay the the six, 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.280 six or seventh highest paid defender in the league, and 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:51.720 he's obviously, in my opinion, the best, well we knew 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:54.040 about the rams. They're gonna figure out what you gonna 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:55.720 figure out the way if they want to find some 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.080 duckets somewhere somewhere, they want to have a draft pick. 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:04.320 Till twenty fifty were drafted, nobody nobody getting. If you 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:06.240 ate up on it as already you ate Covin man, 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:08.400 I'll tell you what. But they want a super Bowl. 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:11.760 We ain't done. And here is a gentleman in a 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:16.040 very interesting position that most people never get to in 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:18.960 professional So it's because it's that hard. He can walk 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:22.600 away right now, he's credentialed to go to pro progardings. 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:24.440 You're going whole fun. I mean, it's it. You've got 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:26.840 the Super Bowls, you've got the multiple Players of the Year, 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:30.040 the multiple All pros. I mean, he has a resume 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:34.480 that is not just worthy, but it's up there with 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:37.240 some of the best. I would say so, and I 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:40.840 considered me Joe Green to be the best interior defensive 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:44.240 lineman playing the National Football League in its history changed 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.880 the whole culture. You took a culture changer, the greatest 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.320 Pittsburgh see Larrever. The only thing that he doesn't have 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:53.480 over Joe is three more rings because Joe got four 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:56.960 and it was a team the seventies. But Duke walk 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:59.480 away right now and just just right down the date 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:01.680 like when man he walked okay two thous what I 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:04.439 mean you just know five years from now he's going in. Um, 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:07.440 how many people do that? Though? Oh oh it's rare. 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:12.919 It is rare, too big. Calvin Johnson's the last one 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:15.280 I can think of. Hey, man, buye. He ain't got 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:19.400 no supervoto. You're walking away and they're going to put 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:23.680 a gold jacket on he did what nine? His situation 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:27.080 was way worse than the oh yeahs yeah, the situation 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:29.800 was much worse than what the rams, who have the 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:33.239 potential to repeat, versus what Calvin Johnson was walking away from. 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:35.240 He said, you know, the organizations didn't even do him. Well, 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:38.040 that's how he was like, Man, I'm done with I 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:40.200 know what Barry sand that. Barry, I know how you feel, 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:42.639 so yes. But but for Aaron in the sense of 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:45.400 you've checked the bottom, what boxes they're left to check? 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:47.760 Other than I want you to do it again, to 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:50.480 check the boxes? That's it. I mean, it's crazy to 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:54.040 me how dominant that guy is and the interior part 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:56.480 of the defense, like I can see, you know, t J. 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:58.520 Wine and guys on the house side putting up these 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:00.800 ridiculous numbers because most of the time they're one on one, 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:02.960 let somebody's chipping them from the outside. They're one on one, 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:05.280 they get a better opportunity. But this guy's putting up 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:08.879 ridiculous sack numbers, getting double teams and triple team literally 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:11.080 entire game. I mean, we've seen what he did to 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:12.920 us when we played him. Was like last year he 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:15.160 went through I think Zach Martin and picked up Zeke 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:17.000 and threw him into the dock. And I'm like, this 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:20.040 dude is he's on another level. Man, He's on another level. 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:21.960 I've never seen anything like. I ain't never seen nobody 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:25.240 build like the dude like Tyren Smith came in and 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:27.520 I'm like, you know, Tyring is he's a different type 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:30.600 of animal when you book, when you're looking at h 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:35.320 Trent Williams Bill versus the Tyrant Smith's build. Right, Aaron 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:38.720 Donald looked like a defensive back. Yeah yeah, ain't no 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:42.840 fat on him. He just ripped cut two hundred almost 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:46.160 three hundred pounds and as quick as a defensive back, 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:50.840 which is why he gives those guards trouble. JO move 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:53.639 on these dude, sometimes not even using power. I've not 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:56.040 seen the dude built that way playing in that position 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:57.840 most of the time. When you think about an interior 0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:03.160 defensive lineman, those dudes got a little ba not him, 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:07.240 not him. Until The interesting thing about for Aaron Donald 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:10.360 is you go back and you read the scouting reports 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:16.280 on him. He too small, short arms. I was talking 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:18.240 to someone about that the other day and in the 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:20.760 scouting industry and they know, oh yeah, And as he said, 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:24.400 he said, this was something that it was massively talked about, 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:28.479 people like blowing the guy off, like too short doesn't fit. 0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:34.360
