118
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know anything about the head coach really,

119
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: other than a little bit that they showed his parents

120
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: and can't Ohio and talked about him, you know, growing

121
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: up in Pittsburgh. But I talked to Rich Downing Pull

122
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: and Rich is like, hey man, he grew up in

123
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: a bar, you know, in Pittsburgh and you know tough guys.

124
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: So you know, I know, I get to know more

125
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,559
Speaker 1: about McCarthy and my conversations with Rich than with all

126
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: those cameras with Hard Knocks. That's true. Can you open

127
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: this thing up? And you were saying before, how many

128
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: times do we watched Hard Knocks? And you get to

129
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: know more about these guys and you get to know

130
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: about their families. I mean John Grewden, you know the

131
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: opening we saw that with John Grewd. You saw a

132

133
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: and Bruce Ayns. I just don't know. Now, maybe Mike

134
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: McCarthy doesn't want that. Maybe he said, man, I know,

135
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: you guys find stories other places, but I just feel

136
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: like I'm watching Hard Knocks and I don't feel like

137
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: I know the head coach very much. That's true. Yeah,

138
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: I will say this about about the Hard Knocks, And

Speaker 1: I was like, somebody say, where is it gonna stop?

154
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: It was a good shot, yeah, but he like stopped

155
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 1: talking like like a thirty second into the drone. It

156
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: was just like it was just being all just being all,

157
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: all right, great, great, because this is this is the

158
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 1: kind of the photographer view of it. Then I'm thinking,

159
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: I ain't going to he's talking. Then he's he's just

160
00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:01,359
Speaker 1: gonna lay out to allow you to use your vivid imagination,

161
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: and you kind of all right, here's what am I seeing.

162
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 1: Another issue is you know this place, Danny, You're here

163
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: all the time, you know where they went? You Oh yeah,

164
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: you knew it. I knew it. But if you're somebody

165
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 1: in Iowa never seen it. You could be somebody who's

166
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: you know, right down here in downtown Dallas. You've never

167
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: been up here, You've never seen all that. So to me,

168
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: that's why I like the drone footage, just like this

169
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: is pretty cool, especially so people don't know it, but

170
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: you and I we know when they went into the

171
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: practice field and you wanted to the weight room, I

172
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: hadn't seen that much of the weight room. I've seen

173
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: it from I see it walking by, but you know,

174
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,640

Speaker 1: like we even want the show went off last night.

180
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,280

00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: of something to show us, right, they got to have

182

188
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: hoping to see more of what we talk about the

192
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: could do without it. I will say it is though,

193
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: how much sauce does Jerry Jones had. I mean circle,

194
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: he ain't comeing in on a helicopter. Pilot circled this

195
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 1: building real quick. And you see this, Stephen, Yeah, it

196
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: looks even better now, and then when we first heard

197
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: that it did twelve years ago. I mean, looks good.

198
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: I'm rich talk about the American dream. I wish they

199
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: just went ahead and show the boat. Though, I want

200
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: to see the boat. I would see that, not a boat. Yeah,

201
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: apartment on the wall. He probably got like six boats

202
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: on the yacht, but I would see that though Jerry

203
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: Junior got a boat. Okay, Stephen and Charlotte, they have boats.

204
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: It's not like it's over like Little Stone guys. It's okay. Listen,

205
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: they could have got a drone shot. You know, they

206
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: got here somewhere they couldn't take. It's hard not to

207
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: take They could have went down to Florida over there

208
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: on Biscayne Bay and saw the yacht Mickey Harrison they

209
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: got from the Super Bowl last I mean, they could

210
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: have went on the France and got that thing. It

211
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: was in Alaska last year, so yeah, I mean they

212
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: could have could have went and broke it off and

213
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: so um or maybe they just took the family trip

214
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: was in Alaska, but they'd take the yacht. But the anyway,

215
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: the yachts, the yat is around as well. I mean,

216
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lie. I sat there, I was like, it's

Speaker 1: with with having to go back and pick up Steven.

231
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: I thought that was funny. I thought the way that

00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: he said it, yes, was just f up. The whole day,

233

Speaker 1: the day gonna start? The whole day gonna be up.

235
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: I thought it was funny. He always comes with some

236
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: type of old school saying, and it's like, oh, man, Jared,

237
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: Jared's funny. I love seeing Jared. I like that. I

238
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: like that part of the show. I thought it was good.

239
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: One part that I am very tired of is this

240
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: whole ben to Nucci. I mean, come to my church's

241
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 1: got I'm sorry, Yeah, we're far too many shots and things.

242
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: I remember He's like, you know, it feels like what

243
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: are the nights? Oh? Okay what I couldn't believe. But

244
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe. And I text y'all this the other day, man,

245
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: man after my man's God throws that ball in the

246
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: middle of the fielding behind the receiver, at that receiver

247
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: or the safety picks it off, takes it all the

248
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: way to the house. A man had the audacity to

249
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: get up what what? How was that in the spected

250
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: you knew, you knew he was looking for somebody to

251
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 1: blame it on. Oh yeah, you knew. That's that's that's

252
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: that's that's rest. And as soon as he got to

253
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: the sideline of coaching and went to NAD, I was

254
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: by that was behind n No, that was but no,

255
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 1: he was the first of three, by the way. And

256
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: you had to feel bad for the kid, because I

257
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 1: mean it was just like one pick oh, pick six oh,

258
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: another and the second pick I think was the worst

259
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: of them all because the last one, I was like,

260
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: hey man, he just trying to throw it up there.

261
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: Three people had a shot at it. None of them had.

262
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: None of them had to star on their names or

263
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: on star on her helmet. And then that. But that

264
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: second one in the flat was that the flat he

265
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: just like and had. The dude was way inside it.

266
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,719
Speaker 1: It was no way it was getting there. But the

267
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 1: church has got him. Like I said, I'm gonna go

268
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: back to I remember last year he was saying, Man,

269
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: this is gonna be the dude. The new tie is

270
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: going to be the guy to carry us to the playoffs,

271
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: of his athletic ability. They hyped it. Now, they had

272
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: you calling him the red pistol, calling us and the

273
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: doctor m pistol because you was so confident that the

274
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: new is gonna be the guy and think, man, hey,

275
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: things changed very quickly, Church, very quickly, they changed very

276
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: Will he be here next week to throw? To do?

277
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: What to throw it again? He done? He's done on Monday.

278
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: He's done. He done because they need him. And then

279
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: he's done on Monday. You know how to go practice?

280
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: Squid No for why for what? Maybe he needs more development?

281
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: What type of look is he gonna give our defense?

282
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: Speaking of our defense, becudness, gracious, we talked about third down.

283
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: I tell you Joe Witt had them boys. Listen, I'm

284
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: just listen. Dan Quinn had Joe was calling. Joe Witt

285
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: was calling the calling the game. Those are dan Quinn's plays,

286
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: and dan Quinn has turned this defense around. What was

287
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: the what were the third down stats? Now, let me

288
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: let me, let me let me step in here. Yeah,

289
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: I said here to me, this is the positive of

290
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: what leadership is about. Dan Quinn has to lead the

291
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: stadium because of COVID. All right, Joe, you your defense,

292
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: you call it and they're still getting it done. That

293
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: is leadership. And also when we talked about and I said, man,

294
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: if you going, you bring dan Quinn here, let him

295
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: bring his people. That's true. He knew what to do,

296
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: knew what the cup boom, and there was no fall off.

297
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: And so that that right, there is a positive leadership

298
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: trait that when you leave, they can still run things

299
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: and everything is all right. I look, I go back

300
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: to Bill Walsh, and Bill Walsh left the forty nineties

301
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: everytime they want to Super Bowl next year, And to

302
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: George Seyffer, they were able to keep it rolling and

303
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: keep it going because they had a system in place

304
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: about what it is they wanted to do and everyone

305
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: had bought in and knew what, knew where to go.

306
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: And to me, that's what an outstanding job about Joe.

307
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: And look, okay, let's just let's just say you're right,

308
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: Danny McCrae that this defense is a top ten defense.

309
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: If this is a top ten defense and the Cowboys

310
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: find themselves in the playoffs, dan Quinn is going to

311
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: get a whole lot of accolades and credit that that's

312
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: how it goes, which means he could most likely get

313
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: a job because we will probably see five jobs open.

314
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: It happens every years. Good five jobs are gonna open up.

315
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: So maybe Dan Quinn re enters um the NFL as

316
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: a head coach. If he goes, you would love to

317
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: have Joe be the guy to feel if you're the

318
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: right him, and that unless Dan takes him. But you

319
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: know what, here's if it's one thing we know, if

320
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: Jerry could convince Callen don't go and write a Jerry

321
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: write a chet Oh yeah, I mean we all know

322
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: people here in the building where Jerry has told him

323
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: come back to me. Don't don't let money be don't

324
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: let money be the reason you left. I can tell

325
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: you personally several people were like, hey, Jerry something, Okay, fine, fine,

326
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: that was that what they're paying? If I pay you this,

327
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:14,719
Speaker 1: you're gonna stay. Yeah, he'll write the check. So so

328
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: that's the beauty of Jerry that people don't talk about

329
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: enough of. And here there's no salary cap for for employees,

330
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: and so you know, if he wants to keep you here,

331
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 1: he'll write that. I mean, do you just look at

332
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: what he did with Sean Payton, Al David says, here's

333
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: a head coaching job of the Oklad Raiders, and Jerry's like, okay, um,

334
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a million dollars. At the time,

335
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: he's making by half. And then Mo Carthon at the

336
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: time was the assistant head coach and here coach make

337
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: him over a whole lot. I mean a whole lot.

338
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: But that's what Jerry wanted. He wanted to write that

339
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: check to keep him here. Mike Zimmer Nebraska offers him

340
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: a head coaching job. Now I want you. He wrote

341
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: that check. Kellen Moore, boys stay, they're talking here. He

342
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 1: wrote a check. So if if Dan Quinn becomes a

343
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: head coach and he wants to take Joe, Joe, Joe

344
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: to be his DC jerk and right chet real quick

345
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: and just say hey man, we need you here, we

346
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: need you here, and he'll stay. And if you're Joe,

347
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: what do you know about the Cowboys. You're going to

348
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: get publicity. You're going to be on NBC Sunday and

349
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: it TV three times. That's the maximum. You're gonna be

350
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football. You're going to be on Thursday

351
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: Night Football. You're going to be on a Thanksgiving game,

352
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna so the opportunity for you to shop your

353
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: wares is going to be out there. You're gonna have

354
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: a minimum of at least five nationally televised game, no

355
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: matter what the record was beforehand. I mean, like we

356
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: remember when I went to Jacksonville, we went to an

357
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: ANC championship. The next year we had zero national zero

358
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys don't even make the playoffs. They came back six

359
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: national televised games. So you're always going to have that

360
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: opportunity as an assistant coach, especially as a DC. If

361
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: if if, like if we were saying what happened, like

362
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn moves on, Joe Joe Witt moves up to

363
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: the day, you're gonna have those opportunities to go to

364
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: the next level. Now do we think they're gonna be

365
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: a top ten? I'm just sitting back because I don't know,

366
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 1: because I'm not ready to say that. I listen, listen,

367
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 1: come on man. And yeah, and they went out there

368
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: and they did what they were supposed to do, which

369
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: is murdered them on defense. All right, then what was

370
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: the third listen, whatever coming they were open ten on

371
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: third down, didn't have they had a turn on bone down.

372
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: They stopped to move forth and we had three picks.

373
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: I mean what one of them? Two of them were

374
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: in our own territory. Bro that what's the one on

375
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: the ones? It don't matter this is but top but

376
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: top to bottom though, Yeah, the ones got scored on.

377
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: They turned the ball over like the twenty five. Yeah

378
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: was in the ten this dude, that was that the

379
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 1: only time mark ingram You know what, man Litten think

380
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: they listening? If you, if you, if you, if that's listen,

381
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: that's how you want to fight it because because I know,

382
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: I know you still have a little sting from the

383
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: kool aid, from the kool aid that you were simple.

384
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: Still the same thing, The same thing with NEWI. I

385
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: didn't take that cool. I didn't drink it didn't have

386
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: enough sugar in it for me, So it was not

387
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: it was not my cup of tea. But I'm telling y'all,

388
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: since we've said this, I said dan Quinn was coming in.

389
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: He came in. Now I'm saying dan Quinn's going to

390
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: turn this defense around. Knew he was in training camp

391
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: and NEWI said, I'm telling you one thing. They look different.

392
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: They're making some plays I would say that they're out

393
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: out playing the offense in Oxnard to this point. And

394
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: then we watched them go out there and had go

395
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: over ten on third day. When the last time, when

396
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: is the last time you have seen a defense for

397
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: somebody to go over ten on third twenty seventeen, Jacksonville,

398
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: Jack How good? How good? Was that defense? Was number

399
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: one defense in the intellection? Number one the last Thank you, Barry,

400
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna see, we're gonna see mister Tom got coming.

401
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: Campbell ain't walking to them. No, no no, no, no, said

402
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: but I see that. I I said it's gonna be number

403
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: one defense. I said, they're gonna be a top ten defense.

404
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: They're figuring these things out. We saw eleven and forty

405
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: two dollars. They're playing at the linebacker spot. So now

406
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: we gottee, we got some coverage. We say, tain't not

407
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: even out there yet we still get pressure on the court.

408
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: I think we're I think we're playing very well, straight digs,

409
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: breaking up passes, Anthony Brown, not getting big deep, not

410
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 1: getting killed. I'm just saying, broth, just pouring all on yourself,

411
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: pouring a covering on the slot man. You know we've

412
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: been big on like a blow coverage. You see them,

413
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: You see the blow covering communicating well throughout this whole

414
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: over the center getting out. You know, heard were trying

415
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: to bust to the flat here doing everything broke. We

416
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: didn't take a break when we get back. I got

417
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: to hear your thoughts on this linebacker because we talked

418
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: about it yesterday. I want to see what mc crane

419
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: thinks back. Yea, top ten, I told y'all Tom seeing

420
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: defense I'm standing on. We gotta go visit Tom here

421
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks. That's not gonna stop that

422
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,639

473
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys safeties, I'm gonna be Scrugs, longtime Cowboys reporter.

474
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: So we have Danny McCray not just saying the Cowboys

475
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: are top ten. He's juiced. He's all about top ten.

476
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: For me, this is one of the ultimate tests. When

477
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: I know a guy is all in, is he in

478
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 1: on the Cowboys defense? Will you take them on your

479
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: fantasy football team to be your defense? It depends on

480
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: who's still up there at top ten. Don't mean number one,

481
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: you know, like if I see you know, if I

482
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 1: see the Patriots up there, I might I take them

483
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: before the Cowboys. I actually have nine other teams that

484
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: I can actually take before the Cowboys to still have

485
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: them a top ten defense. So I'm assuming in your

486
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: league you will not be the person who takes a

487
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: defense right out the game that you'll probably be in

488
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 1: that run run. No. No, let me tell you something,

489
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: because I'm no fool. Okay, Okay, what I did last

490
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: year was I actually traded to get the Cowboys defense.

491
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: You know, what I traded for Baltimore Ravens. You know,

492
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: I look like an idiot. Bostimore Ravens played great defense.

493
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys played horrible defense. So I'm not going to

494
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: do that again this year, Mike, No, and you went

495
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: with Yeah, man, look your home team. You know, you

496
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: just you just getting blinded by the light sometimes, you know.

497
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: They said, do you get I mean you saw camp. No, No,

498
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: we didn't see camp. And this is this is after.

499
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: This is after they zoomed in on the sideline when

500
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,479
Speaker 1: they tried to show us the Cowboys practice of when

501
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: they was at at and Tales. I didn't really get

502
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: to see nothing. You know. I just figured we were

503
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: gonna be We're gonna be okay, and it didn't work

504
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: out for me. So I would not be that guy.

505
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't tell you anyways, because churches in my league. Brokay,

506
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 1: I might Yeah, I'm pick a defense personally first round

507
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 1: to get ze Man. You got the twelfth pick of

508
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: the draft. You ain't got you ain't get Zeke. I

509
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,479
Speaker 1: did mind I was the first person to go off

510
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: of the defense. I did think. I regretted it when

511
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: I look back to the schedule, I should have taken

512
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: the Broncos um the Broncos first three games, like I

513
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: guess the Jets, Denver and somebody else. I mean, I'm

514
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 1: not defferent about the Jets, um the Texans and someone

515
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 1: The Broncos got a nice schedule. I mean, that's definitely

516
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: a defense to get into. They're they're very good. But

517
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: I took Tampa. Tampa's defense. Yeah, in the first round,

518
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: what round takament to look it up here on the phone.

519
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: But you trying to get that trophy back in trying

520
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: to go for my third title and then the third title,

521
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: and they need to tell me that Tampa's defense. Who

522
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: plays the Cowboys first? Third, round thirteen, round thirteen? Okay, first,

523
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna tell you what. We're gonna light Tampa up.

524
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, well, I mean, we're gonna light

525
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,000

526
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: Tampa up. Absolutely, you can't play. We're gonna light twenty one. Bro.

527
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: You just you just asked us to let you pick

528
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: him light up. We're going to light Tempa. It's gonna

529
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: be a high scoring game, wow, high scoring game. Both

530
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: of the players haven't played all preseason. Offensive line is

531
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 1: you know they professionals? They Okay, offensive line is they

532
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: was open up for Tony Park. They did for Tony Park.

533
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 1: We got the screen game going, I think it would

534
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: be okay, Dominicans. Was there water in there? A little JPP,

535
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: there's listen to there. There is something about the NFL.

536
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: How about you got them give the third? Do you

537
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 1: got the Cowboys going thirty on ten? Listen? There is

538
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: something about the NFL that does not allow some of

539
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: these teams to be the same way that they were

540
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: the previous year. We've seen it many times. Return somebody,

541
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: so somebody has a great team one year and the

542
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: next year they at the bottom of the league. It

543
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: happens all the time. Okay. And we also had a

544
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: great offense before my man dad gets hurt. All right,

545
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: So I think that Zeke's gonna come out on fire.

546
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,239
Speaker 1: We won't turn over the ball. We're gonna take care

547
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: of it, and we're gonna play good enough defense. Answer

548
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: the quick temper. Thirty Cowboys offense gonna put up third. Listen, listen, listen.

549
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: All your offense gonna put up third. Okay, put thirty

550
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,680

570
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: was gonna gonna lose on the first week of the season. Now,

571
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: I did talk to the Dallas. I talked to Terrell

572
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: Davis yesterday um about about that, and he just said, hey, look,

573
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: this is this is they is. What will we say

574
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: about the Cowboys if they go down to tamp and win?

575
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: He said. The says a whole lot can change, and

576
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: he's into the perception versus reality of Hey, look, there's

577
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: always that perception. People are talking about the Cowboys and

578
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: talk about super Bow hosts. He said, but you win

579
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: this game, then that perception starts to become more of

580
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: a reality and you say, okay, look if you go

581
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: to tamp and you get that dub. So but Danny, Okay,

582
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: I'm liking this. I'm writing it down here, Danny saying,

583
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: thirty points for the offense, a top ten defense and

584
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: they go get it dub against Tom Brady. Yeah, today,

585
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: hood thirty twenty three defense gonna get out there, they

586
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: gonna make some blaze's speaking of the defense, man, I

587
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: gotta hear your thoughts on this, because I'm not sure

588
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: that you saw the preseason guys. Did you saw how

589
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: they were rotating in there? You know, Nickel packages, It

590
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: was Parsons and Kean O'Neill base packages, it was Jaylen

591
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: Smith and Vander esh Now we know, you know defensive line,

592
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: they liked to rotate. You gotta rotate those gays big.

593
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,959
Speaker 1: They're hitting every single down. You know, they gotta get

594
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: their stam and all that, so you gotta rotate those guys.

595
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on rotating the linebackers as much

596
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: as we've seen now, we don't know if the regular

597
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: season that's gonna happen or not. Maybe they're just showing

598
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: different packages and all that stuff, but it's been a

599
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: couple of games now that we've seen that. What are

600
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: your thoughts on those on the linebackers rotating like that? Yeah,

601
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think that's gonna continue. Um, you know,

602
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: unfortunately for the two guys that were here previously, I

603
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: think that forty twenty eleven are going to get a

604
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: lot of playing time and they will get the majority

605
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: of the snaps. Uh. Sometimes you will have those times

606
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: when the offense comes out in like twenty two personnel

607
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: or something that you gotta get some some size and

608
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: they're the bigger linebackers. But I think you're going to

609
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: see forty twenty eleven. I think we kind of talked

610
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: about this last week before I left, like would you

611
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: see him coming down as the strong safety, But now

612
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: he's playing the linebacker, So I think I think that's

613
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: the way to go. I think you're gonna see a

614
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: lot of teams that are gonna come out on eleven

615
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: personnel and they're gonna they're gonna try to run it

616
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: if you go light, or they're gonna try to run

617
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: those tight ends over the middle to see if you've

618
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: got some linebackers that can cover it. And then so

619
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: far we've seen these two be able to play the

620
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: run effectively and they can get to their spots in

621
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: the past, break and make those tackles once they see

622
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: the quarterbackers throw the ball. Let's all right, let's say

623
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: it's week one, it's weak one, and we see that

624
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: Keyan O'Neil. We already know Parsons can play the run heavy.

625
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: He's a dog in that linebacker position. We know that.

626
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: Let's just say Week one comes around. Keyan O'Neil is

627
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: playing the run pretty well. You know, he's shedding blockers,

628
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: he's hitting guys at the point of attack. They're not

629
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: getting any leaky yard as anything like that. Do you

630
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: go ahead and say, you know what, these are two linebackers,

631
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: no matter what the package is based Nickel, no matter

632
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: what it is, these are two linebackers. And do you

633
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: relegate Jalen Smith and Lve as backup players and maybe

634
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: situationals here and there if he's if he's playing well,

635
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: I'm seeing forty two and eleven, And then you got

636
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: to figure out nine and fifty five. You gotta figure

637
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: out who's gonna be playing in those heavy down situations,

638
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: fourth and one, whatever it is out of Layton Vanderesh

639
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: and Jaylen Smith. But forty two and eleven are looking good.

640
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: And the thing that we talked about last year is

641
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: we know that Jaylen Smith and pass coverage, we were

642
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,239
Speaker 1: all worried about liability, Vanderish and pass coverage not too

643
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: much better. And now you got some guys who can

644
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: go out there and play that position and play play

645
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: the pass and play the run. Why mess with it?

646
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: This is true. I messed with it. And look, I mean,

647
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: I think we can all come here and we can

648
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: all agree at least on this. Parsons is the best

649
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: linebacker we got. Am I wrong in my right and

650
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: saying that Parsons is the best. He needs to be

651
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: on the field every single he needs to be at

652
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: every down. Linebacker forth this team. Now the other guys

653
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: are they gonna have to work themselves out and right now,

654
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: knew we I don't know how you feel about this,

655
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: but I think Keano Neils are best linebacker. Um. You know,

656
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: he's coming from that transitioning from safety, which I thought

657
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: might be a little harder than it is because at safety,

658
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: you know, even in you're in the box, you're still

659
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 1: a little bit further back and you've got space an

660
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: opportunity to make those line and miss. But he's in

661
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: the box box with those linebackers and he's doing a

662
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 1: great job but shedding blocks, getting to the ball, making

663
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: at the point of attack, he's he's hitting well. So

664
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think I'm wrong. It's saying, you know,

665
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: Parson's is our number one key, I don't Nils our

666
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: number two. And then we got the other guys, you know,

667
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: deciding the way out. What you think about that? Knowing,

668
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: I keep going back into this Tampa game and I

669
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: feel like as they're starting, when I see the Nickel

670
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: defense go out there for the first game, I say

671
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: to myself, you know, yeah, this is what they're trying

672
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: to do. You gotta get ready to face Tampa back

673
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: and you're gonna face a lot of You start to

674
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: look at the schedus on the teams you're playing here,

675
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna be a nickel a lot and Ronald Jones,

676
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: Giovanni Bannard, these guys coming out of the backfield. You

677
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 1: got Rob Gronkowski, you got oj Howard, you got you

678
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: got guys who're gonna have to cover as linebackers out here.

679
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: So these two guys right now, this is where they're

680
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: gonna go with. I'm more than comfortable and I'm also

681
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: more than comfortable with fifty five and nine being backup players.

682
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: And I can't say this enough. They got eleven game stretch,

683
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: eleven straight football games in a row, seventeen game schedule.

684
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: You're gonna need all the guys. You're gonna need it.

685
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: You're gonna need all the guys. So Parsons, he hasn't

686
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 1: played over a year. We don't know how. I mean,

687
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 1: he's looking great in preseason, but we don't know how that.

688
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,240
Speaker 1: You know, Endorance is gonna be throughout that long stretch

689
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: of games, and like you mentioned after the after the

690
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: bat week, it's eleven straight games, you're gonna need a

691
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: Jabrol Cox. You're gonna need all so so its fans

692
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: And I said this the other day when you're out,

693
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: fans keep beating up Jaylen Smith, like cut this guy,

694
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: and this is wrong. And you got certain medium members

695
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: around here who are out here, you know with this

696
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: this vendetta against Jaylen Smith. And I just simply say,

697
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: you're not looking at the bigger picture, which is you

698
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: in a seventeen game season, nobody and you guys play.

699
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: Ain't nobody gonna walk out of here healthy. They're all

700
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: gonna get nicked up. And you start looking at the

701
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that you have to play in, some of the

702
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: running backs and tight ends. This is a tough schedule.

703
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: I mean, while people can talk about strength of schedule,

704
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: start looking at who who some of these players are

705
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: that you're going up against. Man, I mean, first two

706
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: games between Tampa Bay and the Charges. I mean, there's

707
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: some offensive talent right out of the gate, you know,

708
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: just just that you're gonna have to contend with. So

709
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: your linebackers are going to be very important. And I

710
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 1: just think people gotta just just understand what's happened to

711
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: Jalen Smith is not Jalen's fault in terms of he

712
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 1: didn't pay himself. The Jones family paid him. Who's supposed

713
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 1: to do not take the bag. Now you're mad because

714
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,399
Speaker 1: you're like, hey, man, this guy's making all this money.

715
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 1: He's not this and this, Okay, he the first dude

716
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have given a lot of money to. Who

717
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: ain't that guy you thought he was? This is very true.

718
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: Tyrone Crawford. Tyrone Crawford was a dude who the last

719
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: two years, Tyrone Crawford was nothing like the player they

720
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: thought they had signed. He was injured, but but you know,

721
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: and he just didn't play up to the level when

722
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 1: he was out there. It happens across the National Football League.

723
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: This is true. I'm trying to understand why people so

724
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,720
Speaker 1: mad at Jalen Smith. But yeah, you look at Layton Vanners,

725
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: the first round pick who Rob Marionelli had thrown out

726
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: the whole Brian Urlacker thing too, and look at this guy.

727
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: They't said, man, we ain't gonna give you a fifth

728
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: We ain't give you a being picked up the fifth year.

729
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: So if you think about both guys or not what

730
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: you thought they were gonna be two years ago. Two

731
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 1: years ago you thought, man, we got two dudes, we

732
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: got two guys. Well you don't cornerstones. But this is

733
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:22,879
Speaker 1: how fast sports changes. Sports will change on you that fast.

734
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: Oh all right, and it can go either way. Hey man,

735
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 1: you got we're all basketball fans who thought Mike button

736
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: Holzer was gonna sit up here and coached his team

737
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: to an NBA champion. I'm thinking he's fired when YA

738
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: said I'm gonna stay here to win. When I said

739
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: you you're gonna beat the for a long time, everybody

740
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: to be frustrated. But that's but but sports team and

741
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: then what do we see today? Dude got three year

742
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 1: contracts SENSI yeah, And I'm like, is he really that good?

743
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 1: Or is yannest? And he just didn't getting away? Let

744
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: me tell you something. But but that's but that's what happens.

745
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: And that's what happens. You know with Jay in Layton Vanders.

746
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 1: These your kis man who ended up making the Pro

747
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 1: Bowl and you thought, hey man, that guy and that's

748
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: all right, that's okay, you know, that's okay. But they

749
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: can still have a role here. That fits. I would

750
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 1: have been calling listen, I would have hired some lawyer,

751
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,959
Speaker 1: great defense team, great whatever team, and I'll be getting

752
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: in touch with Mike Nolan and we would have to

753
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: figure out how much money he owes me for messing

754
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: up the projection the progressions of my career. Okay, because

755
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: you're right, these guys were on the up and up.

756
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: They were on the up and up. They were in

757
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: a four three defense. They were going sideline the sideline,

758
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: and that was the time when we thought that we

759
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: had two of the best linebackers in the league. And

760
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: then somehow we get a new guy in here, and

761
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: then they looked like two of the worst linebackers in

762
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: the league. But with with with Quinn that I'm blaming

763
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: Mike Nolan for the entire these guys looked totally different.

764
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: They talked about this last year Mike Nolan came in

765
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: and all of these guys were on the up and up. Right,

766
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: We was like, George Lewis is gonna be whatever, Like

767
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: we were talking about these guys like that, and then

768
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 1: Nolan came in and we talked about these guys one

769
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: eighty all of them, every single one of them. And

770
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: now Dan quint here, and we're talking about beside Jaylen LVI,

771
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,919
Speaker 1: but we're not even mentioning these guys as being bad

772
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 1: players and not being able to do this and pis

773
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: and whatever. We're talking about them really being on the

774
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: up and up again. Now, of course, you have a

775
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: first round who came in and made all this noise

776
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: to get h to get one of those line pass up.

777
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 1: And then you have a linebacker the game, uh with

778
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,800
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn, right, So, so timing and and some stuff

779
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: just didn't work out for Jalen and Vanderush. But yeah,

780
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 1: a lot of this is on Mike Nolan. We see it.

781
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: We saw before, We see the middle when Mike Nolan

782
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: was here, and now we are seeing what is happening

783
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: after giving Mike Nolan a chunk of the blame. But

784
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: I'm not giving him all the blame. No, no, no, no,

785
00:39:56,200 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 1: I'm giving him No. I'm Mike McCarthy hired him. Okay, okay, players,

786
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy sat up here the whole offseason you're getting

787
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: when he had the Peter King from NBC Sports and

788
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: Tom Placer from NFL Network, and they gave me these

789
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: great pr time. Yeah, man, I've been got a got

790
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 1: a whole barn, and we're all we got all this stuff.

791
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: I mean like doctor dre in the lab, but the

792
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 1: coaching lab abody to come up. He abody to come

793
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 1: up with in two thousand and one. I mean, you

794
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:25,280
Speaker 1: forgot about Mike. You know who you and you present

795
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 1: us with Mike Nolan. And and this is a frustrating part.

796
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 1: Joe Joe Wit was the guy he would consider for

797
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: the DC JIB Imagine how different and we just saw

798
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: what he called over the week. Imagine how different the

799
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,879
Speaker 1: defense is here. You have somebody who's competency running the team.

800
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 1: So y're not gonna put nothing on the players. Oh

801
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: I put a little bit on there. Coaching matters. Coaching

802
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, I I but we can't the whole defense

803
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: can't be system gays. I mean, like like Bro he

804
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 1: got sometimes you gotta make the system and we had

805
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 1: nobody out there. Mike Nolan got a lot of a

806
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: lot of careers ruined. Okay, guys from that that came

807
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,399
Speaker 1: here and got released because they weren't playing a certain way.

808
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 1: My man Wardley, he didn't look like he know how

809
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: to play football at all. But that's something he should

810
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 1: know that's covered through. You should. But when you but

811
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: when you got guys that we know, I won't say

812
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,919
Speaker 1: names who come to us and say them goods, didn't

813
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 1: know what they were talking about. I'm sitting here arguing

814
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: with these dudes because they don't have any idea what's

815
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 1: going on. Then you know that the locker room is

816
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 1: bad because the people that we know don't have these

817
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 1: type of issues. And I can see if it was

818
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: a bunch of rookies going out there and the coaching

819
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: was there, but there was a lot of events out

820
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,919
Speaker 1: there who played in multiple systems and they were still

821
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: looking bad. Okay, but but that's the thing though, they

822
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 1: can't figure it out in this one system. But it can't.

823
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: We've seen some of these same players look better. That's

824
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: and being better. Your job as a coach is to

825
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: understand the warts of your football team and cover them up.

826
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: That's your job. You can't overcome back coaching. If you

827
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: haven't seen the Nick Saban Bill Belichick Um documentary on HBO,

828
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: watch it. It's so good. And Mike Nolan. Okay, when

829
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: Mike Nolan makes moves and I'm sitting I ain't getting paid.

830
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm no professional I didn't play in the league like you.

831
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: But I'm saying, wait a minute, vanderash have neck issue

832
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: and you're gonna put him in middle linebacker where you're

833
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 1: gonna run up here and crashing again? Late? What we

834
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 1: were doing late? How did late make the Pro Bowls?

835
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 1: Out here in the outside being will and I'm gonna

836
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,760
Speaker 1: put Jalen in courage? Did anybody not watch that Thursday

837
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 1: night Bears game when Mitchell Trubisky was like where's he at?

838
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: And they kept going at him. I don't want him

839
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 1: in coverage. That's not putting him in his best position.

840
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: So if I'm just fatass media guy watching it that

841
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: I ain't played and this is what you do. They're

842
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,800
Speaker 1: paying you a lot of money and this is what

843
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: you do all day long. And I'm sitting here figuring out, like, yeah,

844
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: that ain't the move. Well, I wanna say this. We

845
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: woke up a lot of these defensive players. In my

846
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: mind is the draft and they put them guys on

847
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: notice book, your job is on noted. We got good.

848
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 1: The eight of the eleven draft picks were all defensive players.

849
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: Were bringing in all these guys on the defensive side

850
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: of all the free agency so I'll say I think

851
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,399
Speaker 1: it was a combination. Quinn obviously got these guys flying around.

852
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,399
Speaker 1: Kudos to Craig, he knew what he was talking about.

853
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: But also these guys, a lot of these people's jobs

854
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: is on the line, and you'll see contract just like

855
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: in contract years, guys will step up out of nowhere.

856
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: Where was this at when we signed you three years ago?

857
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: Now his contract year, you're going four thousand yards and

858
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,320
Speaker 1: all this other Let me tell you something, think a

859
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: lot of that welcome up. Jerry came and put them

860
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 1: little notice during the season last year, all right, when

861
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: he started letting he say, man, it's gonna be some

862
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:32,760
Speaker 1: changes or whatever. I think they who they let gonna

863
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: poll they loved they started letting go of guys, and

864
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 1: guys were on notice and they weren't playing this way.

865
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: But I will say this though, as we talk about

866
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,399
Speaker 1: Kean O'Neill and we talk about Parsons and how they're

867
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: making places in the run and all that, I think

868
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: that is also a testament to the D line doing

869
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,839
Speaker 1: their jobs right. Because if these guys are only having

870
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: to share one block and they're not fighting off old

871
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: lineman the whole time and they're able to free and

872
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: get those tackles one and two yards for two yards

873
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: one of two yard games. That means the d line

874
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: is doing something right. They're doing something right, and they

875
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 1: gotta continue stepping it up. I mean, guys like Bret

876
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: Urban Bohannah, you know oc I don't want to kill

877
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: his last name. They're they're stepping up a little bit

878
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: because that that absence of Neville Gallum war for at

879
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: least the first couple of games, that's gonna be huge.

880
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 1: It's gonna be huge. And what do we see last

881
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,800
Speaker 1: year with this defense. Nobody really killed us on the edges.

882
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: You know, nobody really killed us with the Marcus Lawrence.

883
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: And you know, if we had all the smith out

884
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,439
Speaker 1: there and Randy Gregory towards the end, nobody really killed

885
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: us on the edges. It was up the gut. It

886
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: was up the gut, up the middle. And that's what

887
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to see. Can we make these adjustments.

888
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 1: Can't we get guys in there that can help that

889
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: defense out? All right, we need time out. Okay, I've

890
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: gotta pay another bill here. We need to get into

891
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: the backup quarterback situation here, because we've already seen a change.

892

933
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 1: the league. I did not. I just talked about it,

934
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: so you weren't here. I called it Double G's Last

935
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 1: Stand because Barry's boy, Garrett Gilbert didn't look good. Cooper

936
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:35,280
Speaker 1: Rush went out there. Okay, had hit Cooper Rush against

937
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: Texas ten or twelve ninety four yards, two touchdowns in

938
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: tenth possessions, got a sixty six percent completion percentage, a

939
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 1: QBR one or two point five, no interceptions, no touchdowns

940
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:50,799
Speaker 1: into preseades. Meanwhile, Double G three or five thirty yards

941
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: and a fumble against Houston with Mike mccarthield. But Eric

942
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:59,439
Speaker 1: Kurson as he's watching with the funnel, Um, I wanted

943
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 1: to get on that though. It just really quick because

944
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 1: I saw somebody get a really good move put on them. Uh,

945
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: coming off that that right edge, so that's our right tackle.

946
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 1: Gave up that rest right here we go. You know,

947
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 1: he's my LSU guy, you know, but that's why I

948
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: want to see him play a little bit more so

949
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 1: we can get his feet under them, because yeah, he

950
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 1: did fumble, but man got beat. He gotta be pretty bad.

951
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:27,399
Speaker 1: He got to be pretty bad. But yeah, you gotta

952
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 1: protect the but I'm sorry, I have to. You know what,

953
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 1: the tackles your thoughts every every show you can you

954
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: take a shot of that, tackling what you did the

955
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: last time you do that tiring last time. I want

956
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: don't like, No, no, that's not true. You and Calvin

957
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 1: Watkins got probably that ain't I like what I like?

958
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: You don't like you see, did not finish the season

959
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 1: last year, and you know it didn't go well for us.

960
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 1: He missed the entire season, the entire season last year.

961
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:06,399
Speaker 1: So when him, I just want him to play more,

962
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 1: get his feet up and leaving because, like you said,

963
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: the first defense that we're playing, they ain't coming to

964
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 1: play with y'all. We're gonna light him up though. No yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

965
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, so yeah, we're gonna be all right. Yeah, yeah,

966
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 1: gotta be all right because you said that offense is

967
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 1: gonna score thirty. Listen, they go geta be there once

968
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:28,359
Speaker 1: in a while. But we're gonna play. But I said,

969
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 1: if he played a little bit more, get a little

970
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: bit more practice time, hes gonna be okay, but backup quarterback? Okay,

971
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush's winning? How he's winning? How? Yeah? Already know

972
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 1: he just read the back and so what mc McCarthy do.

973
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 1: Right after we did this show, McCarthy come out and said, hey,

974
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 1: mancau Russia, we run the first team practice. He earned

975
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 1: the opportunity come to my first team off. Absolutely, What's

976
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:55,800
Speaker 1: that's the first step. What's the next step. What's the

977
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 1: next step we have to about we're talking about backup

978
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,799
Speaker 1: quarterback for the regular season. When you come about back

979
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 1: in the quarterback for the preseason. Now, I'm about going

980
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 1: back to what I said on Monday. We've never seen

981
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush in a regular season game. We've never seen

982
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: this man go out there and have to make defensive

983
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: coordinators making adjustments on him, or you like to go

984
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,320
Speaker 1: to Cooper on third down, we're doubling Cooper. Let me

985
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 1: see you go through your progressions. Let me see you

986
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 1: get some some heat put on you. We yet to

987
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:23,400
Speaker 1: see that Cooper Rush for a whole game. He's been

988
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:25,360
Speaker 1: in the preseason, how many how many quarters as he

989
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 1: played over all this whole preseason, maybe five ships. But

990
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 1: that's how it starts, though, right. You gotta get your opportunity.

991
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: You get the opportunity. You showed us you could do

992
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: it in the preseason, and then you move on, and

993
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 1: then you move on into the regular done it in

994
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 1: the regular season. Gilbert has done it in the regular season.

995
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 1: To do that, Okay, bro, I know, I know you

996
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: standing on the table. We were just turning them, turning around,

997
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: handing the ball off to Zeke. The whole game. My

998
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:51,320
Speaker 1: man threw the ball five times to us. He played Okay, okay,

999
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: but but this is this is this shit we don't

1000
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:55,800
Speaker 1: know because we haven't seen it, because he's never done it.

1001
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 1: But what we do know who's done it. We do

1002
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: know that when we seen him, when we seen him

1003
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,399
Speaker 1: get out there in the game. Again, you say only

1004
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: two incompleecens one O two. You said passer Ray one

1005
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 1: O two for Cooper Rush of the QBR, the QBR

1006
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 1: for your boy double g seventy four point nine. Now

1007
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 1: here's the thing. You're talking about that Steeler game last year,

1008
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 1: and you want to stand on all this for Garrett Gilbert,

1009
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 1: the man has been running the first team since that

1010
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: went out you've given him all the opportunities. Where's the

1011
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 1: production that if we're supposed to be running with the ones,

1012
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: he's supposed to be the guy doing it. I'm not

1013
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 1: seeing it. So all I can go buy is what

1014
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 1: I see Cooper Rush doing against Arizona. All I know

1015
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 1: is Mike mc Mike McCarty, he may do against a

1016
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,919
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush running. You know what, Cooper rushing the driver's

1017
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 1: seat right now, this is you're the guy. I guess what?

1018
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 1: Guess what the lead after three holes? Cooper russing the

1019
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 1: lead right now? Okay, three now? Now we're coming too

1020
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: the final round right here this week against a bill

1021
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: and you know what you're saying, it's all Cooper didn't

1022
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: know he need to go get out. No, I not

1023
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 1: said he's in the league. He's in the league. He

1024
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 1: can mess it up. He just needed to go ahead

1025
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 1: and get his Tiger was red polo on and get

1026
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 1: ready for let me tell you something. Ball off a

1027
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:18,439
Speaker 1: couple of times. He good, let me tell you something.

1028
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 1: If Cooper Rush misses this up, then we definitely need

1029
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 1: to go get a quarterback for somewhere else. I'm not

1030
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: saying give me on the roster. I say Gilbert. The answer,

1031
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 1: I'm still with y'all on the fact that the backup

1032
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 1: quarterback might not even be on his roster, but the

1033
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 1: go ahead and just put Cooper Rush in here annoint

1034
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 1: him as the back. I just don't we annoyed him

1035
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:39,880
Speaker 1: as ahead of Gary. He's not annoying him back of quarterback.

1036
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:41,680
Speaker 1: So in a regular season game, you would rather have

1037
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush if that went down, Cooper Rush over Gary Gilbert? Yes,

1038
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 1: but you know, for me lately, absolutely the man had

1039
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: two incomplet one or two passer rating bro yea compared

1040
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:57,439
Speaker 1: to your guy in the need a bigger sample size

1041
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:59,919
Speaker 1: than just us. I mean, you know what you said,

1042
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:03,759
Speaker 1: like you carry out six passing, Look what you did

1043
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 1: against Pittsburgh, what you do right now? What was almost

1044
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:11,839
Speaker 1: a year ago? Broeh Okay, but what almost a year

1045
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 1: ago Arizona? Almost a year ago? Bah Blake? Answer that one.

1046
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 1: I just watched a couple Rush went in the race,

1047
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:26,719
Speaker 1: and I was gonna see what he did. Ilyavy Picks.

1048
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:29,399
Speaker 1: I know that hit't Haavy Picks. The reason I don't believe,

1049
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't trust your opinion of quarterbacks because,

1050
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: like the new Tie was your guy you know you

1051
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 1: saw the new tie. You know what you yell for.

1052
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this was outside in frontwn RV part whatever.

1053
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: He was shouting out the frontown and this dude was right,

1054
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 1: I gotta get you can't. I can't trust you. And

1055
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 1: what by myself Church staying myself. You were staying by

1056
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 1: that Blake Bortles experience. So they just he go streaking in.

1057
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 1: You know you hung around and you watch that. You

1058
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: don't You don't know how to evaluate quarterbacks. You can't evaluate, no,

1059
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: but you don't know. Really bad man that stopped me

1060
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 1: the bowl? The ring you could have had a ring

1061
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 1: ring you shoul wouldn't have got there. You could have

1062
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:16,879
Speaker 1: got the right would have been way different it would

1063
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 1: have You might have got another bag from sho This

1064
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: is true. I got a big right being, so he

1065
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:24,839
Speaker 1: would have get everybody to get bags. So that's why

1066
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 1: I forgive him for these quarterback value gonna around Blake board.

1067
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 1: We're gonna see because Sunday's coming around the corner and

1068
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 1: Cooper rush. What you gonna say that he wasn't playing

1069
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:38,399
Speaker 1: with Listen, this is why we saying he has the lead.

1070
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 1: He could mess it up. Place him to go out

1071
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 1: there and mess up. But if he does, we definitely

1072
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:45,360
Speaker 1: need to go look for a quarterback from it. But

1073
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:47,840
Speaker 1: if he doesn't, Cooper Rush is the answer. If you

1074
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 1: go out there and he have a one or two

1075
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 1: passer rating, then against against If he go out he

1076
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:55,799
Speaker 1: only can do what it. Listen, he's starting. He can

1077
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 1: only do what he says. That's what I'm saying. So

1078
00:54:57,840 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 1: so if he does, I if let's just say he

1079
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 1: does good used to answer that back up, We don't

1080
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 1: need to go this is what this is what I

1081
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 1: anticipate happening. Okay, the nude she's cut. You're keeping two guys.

1082
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 1: You're gonna keep Dak. You'll keep one of these two

1083
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 1: because they know the offense, so so you'll keep. At

1084
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 1: this point in time, I keep Rush, who's been das

1085
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 1: backup quarterback before. And then you start to look out here. Okay,

1086
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 1: is there's somebody else out here that gets to let

1087
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 1: go that I think can be an improvement on. That

1088
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:26,880
Speaker 1: would be if I was a general manager, that be

1089
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:30,399
Speaker 1: my strategy here. Um, who's out there? We can't mention

1090
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 1: any names because we don't want to get in ball tampering.

1091
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: But at the same time, there's some dudes and I'm thinking, okay,

1092
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 1: I would look at this player. But right now, Cowboys,

1093
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 1: when they cut it to fifty three, they'll be two dudes.

1094
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:45,319
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Rush and that and how we're saying rush,

1095
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:47,399
Speaker 1: but how we're saying it's gonna be Rush and Dak

1096
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 1: Dak rush. I see that. Man. I'm gonna let y'all

1097
00:55:52,560 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 1: know right now. Anyway, Okay, quarterback Aaron County, now four one.

1098
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: We've seen Cooper Rush do this before twenty seventeen. We've

1099
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 1: seen how he made it seen he was a darling

1100
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 1: in preseason. He's a darling right now in the preseason.

1101
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 1: Jacksonville is coming around the corner. I don't expect Cooper

1102
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 1: Rush to have that efficient of a game. I think

1103
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna see the real Cooper Rush. All right, it's

1104
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:27,320
Speaker 1: really listen, Oh this is really really important, right I

1105
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 1: get it. Back on quarterback is really important. Truth of

1106
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 1: the matter is if that back of quarterback is playing

1107
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 1: a lot, you maybe accounting this season to be like

1108
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 1: it was last year. All right, and it don't it

1109
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 1: matters what the top ten defense, Yes, still what the

1110
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 1: top defense? You look, I mean, your question what if

1111
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 1: what if it's just a three game stretch that you

1112
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 1: lose your quarterback? Four? Can can Cooper Rush figure out

1113
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:50,799
Speaker 1: a way to help the Cowboys win two or three

1114
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 1: football games? And it is true? But but that's but

1115
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:56,920
Speaker 1: that those are the things you're at that that's what

1116
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:59,800
Speaker 1: I'm asked, which means he and now look at this

1117
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 1: one time. Would I trust him or Garrett Gilbert to

1118
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:04,279
Speaker 1: be the guy who win three games? No, which is

1119
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:09,800
Speaker 1: why said the backup quarterback you need is down on

1120
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 1: this sea. I was getting ready to say, we think

1121
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 1: Russian godhead and win NFL. But but you think that

1122
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:19,440
Speaker 1: Gary Gibber can carry us through. I think he'd win

1123
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 1: a game. You think because you see them win? What

1124
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 1: I think? Did he win the Pittsburgh game? Did he

1125
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 1: win the Pittsburgh game? That you No, I didn't say

1126
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 1: he wanted bad. They were undefeated, so he didn't even

1127
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:40,919
Speaker 1: but he made a competitive dude, all right, he was Okay.

1128
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,280
Speaker 1: Here's here's the problem where you're true. You're forgetting the

1129
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 1: defense was getting killed. What we saw from this moving

1130
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:49,440
Speaker 1: that Cowboy game started a whole slide of Steeler football

1131
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 1: and win all downhill. That's true, they was you know,

1132
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 1: you think will it was a great reforce. They wish

1133
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 1: they were taking and you just happened to catch him

1134
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 1: on this. They would go down those eleven teams before us.

1135
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 1: I mean, they weren't taking there. They was rising. They wasn't,

1136
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 1: but they were very close games and we were like,

1137
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:08,440
Speaker 1: everybody was like, we don't really they were following, they

1138
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 1: were It was fool's goal watching the steels. Okay, it

1139
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 1: was fools goal. Fools goal. But Rush could have you know,

1140
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 1: he could have pulled that out, just saying you try

1141
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 1: to act like Triple g was out here slinging it

1142
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 1: like you Double gas Man, you gonna call you we

1143
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 1: He got his nickname back from that New York Giants.

1144
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 1: At the last game of the season. He chose the

1145
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 1: very last game that we needed to play his worst ball,

1146
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 1: so he get the red pisture now so we can

1147
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. Double would have did it. You would

1148
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 1: have had us in there. Who it's so good to

1149
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:49,960
Speaker 1: be back and listen to church nonsense. Yeah, yeah, he's

1150
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 1: talking about. As we we get close to the end

1151
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:54,760
Speaker 1: here on the players last, lets talk about the COVID

1152
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 1: protocols here. So Dan Quinn in COVID protocol along with

1153
00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 1: wide receiver CD Lamb, defensive tackle Carlos Watkins, safety Mali Cooker,

00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:06,480
Speaker 1: and safety Israel muk oamo um. Are they all positive

1155
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 1: tests or just like close contacts are this is you

1156
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 1: know when hippo um you can't say what anyone's condition is.

1157
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 1: You can just merely just they was able to say

1158
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 1: zeke just positive back into you know this is out

1159
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 1: of HIPPA violation. Well he can come out and say

1160
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:28,920
Speaker 1: he didn't the team, Well along the way it was somehow,

1161
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 1: some way with age who somehow got out. It got out,

1162
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 1: somehow got out, but it didn't got out through the teams.

1163
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 1: The team can't tell you, so they can't come up

1164
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 1: with say mccraig got it. They can't do it. So

1165
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 1: we don't know. They don't have to tell us. But

1166
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 1: you can simply go, hey, ceedee LAMB, test positive, Call

1167
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:48,080
Speaker 1: the agent, call the dad, call you know, you can

1168
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 1: call people. What do they have to stay like? Let's

1169
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 1: just say that, don't say that's a good quart I

1170
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 1: don't know because here comes out of a thing. Did

1171
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:58,360
Speaker 1: they test positive or they around somebody was and then

1172
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 1: you know what, what have their test shown so I

1173
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 1: don't know. I've been saying like five days or something

1174
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 1: like that. It's like close contact. Once the regular season

1175
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 1: jumps out, that's gonna be a big because if you

1176
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 1: you got you know, even if you're in close contact.

1177
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 1: And let's just say you got five days and according

1178
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:16,320
Speaker 1: to that, you know are you are you? Are you vaccinated?

1179
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 1: But you know the rules if you versus rules if

1180
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 1: you're not vaccinated, and how long those those change. But

1181
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 1: bottom line, um, I'll say this, you'd like to have them,

1182
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:27,440
Speaker 1: just have them get it out of the way so

1183
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 1: they're ready to go for Tampa. We don't You don't

1184
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 1: need him from Jacksonville. Don't need Jacksonville. You you want

1185
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: them ready to go a Thursday night on NBC for

1186
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 1: some Thursday night football against the World champs. So ceedee Lamb.

1187
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 1: Almost took them into fancy draft, man, I was right there.

1188
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 1: Almost didn't say I didn't take them. I didn't take him. Man.

1189
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 1: Somebody got lucky in ours because you can keep a

1190
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 1: player from the previous year, but you have to give

1191
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 1: up the draft pick ahead of where they're right. So

1192
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 1: somebody drafting him in the ninth last year, so they

1193
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 1: had to give up an eighth this year for CD. Sweet,

1194
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 1: that's sweet. Smart, it's smart en to cut to k LS.

01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 1: a fifth four, I mean the fourth four. Or I

1200
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 1: got James Robinson, who I wouldn't have to give up

1201
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 1: only a fifteenth four. James Robinson, yea get them out,

1202
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:29,400
Speaker 1: but you know they got hide and Robinson. Now some Robinson.
