Welcome to another edition of The Break. 9 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 1: We are locked Nesst, WBC Morriage Studios at the Star 10 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 1: and got my crewe here, Nick, Dave Amber. We're gonna 11 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: talk about the Washington Redskins today. Dave has a breakdown 12 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: for us on the Washington offense. We defer on this show, 13 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: and we will go with offense today. We'll go with 14 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 1: defense tomorrow. But before we do that, I want to 15 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: talk a little bit Jeff something. I was just saying, 16 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: there's some injuries. Things we do we talk about injuries, 17 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: No we didn't. Yeah, there were real quick keeping an 18 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: injury update. Tavon Austin apparently has a concussion um that 19 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: they found out concussion like symptoms like and you know 20 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 1: it's always everybody's all dicey about whether they want to 21 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: call it a concussion or but from the sounds of it, 22 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: he you know, he felt fine Monday, came in and 23 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: did like run team run and stuff like that. But 24 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: he came in today and was like, I like, my 25 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,639 Speaker 1: my head feels fuzzy, like I'm still kind of feeling 26 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: the effects. Apparently it was a block he made or 27 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: took in the game, and so he's not a practice. Um, 28 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: we'll see how serious that is. I don't know if 29 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: it's a full blown concussion or just kind of being 30 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: careful with him. And Randall Cobb had some ribs injuries, 31 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: but he was out there, so that would be one 32 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: that returner. He's the Yeah, good point. Jeff Heath also 33 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: out there. Yep. Every everybody that you know you would 34 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: ask about was there, Um, Tyrant, Zach Cooper, Cobb, Heath. 35 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: And they have signed Chris Chris Covington. So now we 36 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: have Chris and yeah, linebacker Chris Covington. Uh, he's on 37 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: the active roster now. And when they released Jordan Chun yesterday, 38 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: Chun will not be back on the practice squad. They 39 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: signed Darius Jackson to the practice squad. I gets his 40 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: number twenty six back in the lumbu goes back to 41 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 1: thirty two, although which, yeah, I don't know. I think 42 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: the way it was explained to me just now is 43 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: Darius Jackson is here. I assume he was already in 44 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: the area. They waived Chun and so he can't be 45 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: on the practice squad until today, and they needed a 46 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: running back for practice. So it's just like a temporary thing. 47 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: We'll see. Oh man, it's totally plumb. Goes back to 48 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: twenty six. Maybe it's it is completely possible that Darius 49 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: could just be helping them get through practice like today 50 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: and tomorrow. I don't know, but that's the way it 51 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: was explaining to me is I don't think they're necessarily 52 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,839 Speaker 1: permanently done with Jordan Chun, but he can't be here 53 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: for practice right now because he hasn't officially cleared waivers, 54 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: and so they needed it back and they were I 55 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: assume they were like, hey, Darius, you're still down the 56 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: street right What was an irrelevant question? But whatever happened 57 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: to Jamie Showers? He every time you mentioned there is Jackson, 58 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: I think of Jamial pregame show. He's got he doesn't 59 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: have practice squat eligibility. He can't be on I mean 60 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: unless you put him on the fifty three, he can't 61 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: be here. So he's done. So. But you guys have 62 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: been talking about Jordan Seun from the standpoint that he 63 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: was more of a special teams guy. Him down. Well, 64 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: seventeen special teams snaps the other night, I think is 65 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,839 Speaker 1: what I heard. I think. I think what happens is 66 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: Covington's a better linebacker, better special teams player than him. 67 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: But when they had when they kept John, they didn't 68 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: know exactly when Zeke was coming back, and if so, 69 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: was he gonna look like so at least you've got 70 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: three backs and a linebacker ish type special teams player. 71 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: Now that Zeke's back and he's going to be fine 72 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: and all that, now now it's just special teams. I'd 73 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: rather just have the linebacker. Yes, I think that's what 74 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: it comes down. So coming to a better special teams player, 75 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: so it's better who can't play running back, which he 76 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: played quarterback in college. But I think he's bigger now. Yeah, 77 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,679 Speaker 1: he's a big dude. Safe high school college, he played 78 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: some in India. Yeah, he started out there. So that's 79 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, you don't see a lot of nick 80 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: tattooed guys and quarterbacks quarterback not really What does that 81 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: say about him? Like is he extra tough? Because he isn't? 82 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: I think so. I think if you have neck tattoo, 83 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: I think you are extra tough. Yes, I think he's 84 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: still mess with it. I think so it really is. 85 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know anyone really that closely 86 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: that has a neck tattoo, but I would think you're 87 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: tough with somebody and he's just like the sweetest thing, 88 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: but he looks tough and just like that's the thing 89 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: approached me. Would you guys want to do it as 90 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: a show? The Break? No? I no, I don't The Break? 91 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: How nerdy? How nerdy? Is it? On a scale of 92 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: one to ten? That? Like? The thing that I'm most 93 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: fascinated about is how they handle the jerseys with Christian 94 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: and Chris Covington now playing on the same time defense, 95 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: So what are they gonna do? I don't know, That's 96 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Yeah, I can put a full name, 97 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: so how they know, like they have the same last 98 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: name and it's all the way up to the first 99 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: five letters. So you're gonna have Chris Covington and that 100 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: matters it. You're right, because they may have Roy Williams, 101 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: Randa Williams. It was Roe Williams and Row Williams, Like 102 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: why why how about just thirty one eighty nine? I 103 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: didn't say the number Williams plus thirty one means Williams, right, 104 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: Roy Williams, right, Maybe they will. I'm gonna find an 105 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: equipment guy today and I'm gonna talk to him. Yeah, 106 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: But I just think that's interesting. It is interesting. The 107 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: interesting thing is they both play defense, so you could 108 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: have situations that could be a little confused. But you 109 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: would think the letters in eighty point font, I mean, 110 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,559 Speaker 1: the numbers in eighty point font would tip you off 111 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: not to mention the body weight, like this guy's two 112 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: thirty five, because in college football you'll see like six 113 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: number one and number two's out there, so it's more confusing. 114 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: That's good, pointless, but it's cool. I get it, all right, 115 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: So let's move on. I do want to talk before 116 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: we get to the Washington Redskins. I wanted to talk 117 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: a little bit about something that's kind of popped up 118 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: here of the last twenty four hours on social media. Um, 119 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,799 Speaker 1: there was a situation where DeMarcus Lawrence was captured on video. 120 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: There was a kid who had on a se Quon 121 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: Barkley jersey who walked up to him after the game 122 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: and wanted an autograph, and DeMarcus basically brushed him off. 123 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: You got on the wrong jersey, kid, basically, And and 124 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: it's obviously blown up and taken on a life of 125 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: its own now from the standpoint of I think I 126 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: think Bleacher Report did something on it. That's at least 127 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: who who Tank reference in a tweet he followed up 128 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: with later on. But the question I have for you 129 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 1: guys is is this is the idea of criticizing a 130 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: player for doing something like that unfair or do you 131 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: think that's that's his responsibility and he has he does 132 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: have a responsibility to do that in those situations, I 133 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: would say, I mean, doesn't that just kind of goes 134 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: with the dinner of being an NFL Well, I don't 135 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: want to speak to too broadly, but I guess my 136 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: point is these guys are judged and critiqued for every 137 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 1: little thing they do, and that's part of what goes 138 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: along with getting paid one hundred million dollars like that 139 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: is the drawback of it, you know, is anything you 140 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: do can has the potential to happen like that. But 141 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: should it I get that, that's that's the lot, and 142 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: that's what it what it is, But should it be 143 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: is it Is it unfair to criticize a player for 144 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: something like that? Um? Yeah? In this case, I think so. 145 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: He took it to a different level. You don't want 146 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: to sign autograph, that's fine, you don't have to sign autographs. 147 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: I think he took it to another level by kind 148 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: of pointing out a reason why, even though clearly he 149 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: was in like powerwalk mode, I'm getting out of this place, 150 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: I'm going to wherever I'm gonna go, he wasn't gonna 151 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: sign autographs. You signed for one, you signed for fifty. 152 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: I get it, So just do just do that. And 153 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: I wrote a column on this whole situation, and I 154 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: even pointed out two different Hall of Fame players that 155 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: I have seen one grab my own suitcase so they 156 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: could fill up both of their hands to walk past 157 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: people so they don't have to sign. Another this year 158 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: asked me to do an interview with him so he 159 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't have to sign on the field. A training camp 160 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: they don't want to do it, there's a difference then, 161 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: But by just kind of I didn't hear you, right, 162 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: oh okay, and training camp this year and then you know, 163 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: so I understand that, like you don't want to do it, 164 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: but by kind of calling out that you have the 165 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: wrong jersey on that, to me takes it to a 166 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: different level. Um, I still love the Marcus so long 167 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: as I think he's great. I think he's got his 168 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: own personality. He's a real dude. I think Dave will 169 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: tell you he's a real person. Unfortunately, those ten seconds 170 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: I don't think are really what d laws about. I 171 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: don't think, but it's unfortunate that happens. I means cell 172 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: phones are everywhere now and that that's what happens, I 173 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: would say, And I would be a hypocrite if I 174 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: killed Tank for that, because I love his authenticity and 175 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: like we argue all the time, I roll my eyes 176 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 1: at some of the phony dudes in the NFL who 177 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: will go out of their way to make sure that 178 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: a video of them saying something like that never happened, 179 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: because because they're they're never real. They're they're spokesmen and 180 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: not people. That's what they act like, so I really 181 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: appreciate that DeMarcus Lawrence isn't like that. And you know 182 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: he and and but that's not the full picture because 183 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: as you know, if you're on social media, you saw 184 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: last night he went, you know, he went and gave 185 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: backpacks and and gave back to what ninety kids from 186 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: from the Frisco ISSD and gave them school supplies and 187 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 1: and even that was getting criticized because he's like, oh 188 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: you you did that to that one kid with the jersey, 189 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: and then you go out and come back and start posting. 190 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: And they didn't like the community of Frisco because it's 191 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: you know, it's portrayed as a higher class, you know, 192 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: community than some some other one. I mean, I don't 193 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: know I think that that's and I saw what you 194 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: did on social media. You're like, well, did you what 195 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: did you tell were you doing? Lest would you do 196 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 1: last night? Did you help ninety people? Right? I kind 197 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: of I kind of appreciate, you know, he can be 198 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: the same guy that talks trash to the Sequan kid 199 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: and then still goes and does the school thing in 200 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: the community, Like it doesn't have to be black and 201 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: white as always. That's my That's my number one thing 202 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: is like nobody ever wants a nuance, like you have 203 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: to have a take. You didn't read my column because 204 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: no one as it's not out. Yeah, I mean it's 205 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: getting there. But that's the first thing I say is 206 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,719 Speaker 1: that it's not black and white. Some things aren't black 207 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: and white. There's some gray areas here and this one 208 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: is this is one of those situations. And I don't 209 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,079 Speaker 1: know what your stance on that is, but but I mean, 210 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: my whole problem with it is I feel like I felt, 211 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: and this is just our society in general. I think 212 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: everybody has a sense of entitlement, and in this instance, 213 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: I think there is a sense of entitlement on the 214 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: part of the people that criticize Tank that he somehow 215 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: owes this kid an autograph. He doesn't owe anybody an autograph. 216 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,439 Speaker 1: If he chooses to do an autograph, great, And as 217 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: you and I were talking about before the show, if 218 00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,080 Speaker 1: he wants his public perception to be whatever, if he 219 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: wants it to be jj Watt like where he goes 220 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: and he throws balls to, you know, fans of his 221 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: team and fans of the other team before the game, 222 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: then great, do that because you're trying to build a brand. 223 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: If you don't, Yeah, if you want to not sign 224 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: this autograph, if you would rather be more authentic from 225 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: the standpoint of being like, you know, guess what, you're 226 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 1: not a fan of my team, so I'm not signing it. 227 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: That's okay. Nobody's entitles here. No fan is entitled to 228 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: an autograph. The player is not bound to have to 229 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: give an auto If he chooses to do it, it's 230 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: his right to do it. And that's where I have 231 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,959 Speaker 1: a problem with people criticizing players because they choose in 232 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: that moment that's not the space I meant right now, 233 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: Or I choose not to do this because I have 234 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,959 Speaker 1: a right with my likeness to decide what I want 235 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: to do. That's fine if he if he's okay with that, 236 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: if they're his team, and then know that's why he's 237 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: not getting the endorsement. That's why his jersey's aren't really 238 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: all over the place at a teen team statum, just 239 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: because like, there are different levels of global superstars and 240 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 1: I don't even know what man who knows if that 241 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: kid even is a Giants fan or is he just 242 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: a sequon Barkley fan because he's on that level. J J. Watt, 243 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham, Steph Curry, Lebron James, all across the place. 244 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: You see dads that are probably Dallas Mavericks fans and 245 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: their sons, Like I want to go and watch Steph Curry. 246 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 1: That kid was like DeMarcus. DeMarcus wanted an autograph there, 247 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: So like I just think, like, you're right, he doesn't 248 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: have to have that level. But just know that there's 249 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: there's great players, there's Pro Bowl players, there's elite, iconic 250 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 1: global stars, and it takes that kind of thing to 251 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: do that to be like, you know what, I love 252 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: your jersey, but I'll sign it. Now that video is 253 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 1: going viral and he has a different perception. Yeah, I 254 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: really I struggle to form a firm take on this 255 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: because at this I mean I joke about this all 256 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: the time. Actually, Like I get if you've been to 257 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl and you play for the Cowboys, I 258 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: get notifications when you tweet, and it's a running joke 259 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: for me, Like when Dak Prescott tweets, it's an ad. 260 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 1: It's always an ad. It's so bland, it's so lame. 261 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: And DeMarcus Lawrence is a genuinely he's the opposite. He's 262 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: tweeting about killing Eli Manning and he's defending Yeah, yeah, 263 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: you know he's he's defending himself from fans that think 264 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: he's mean for for not signing this kid's autograph. So, 265 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: like I said, I really I appreciate that in this 266 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: day and age, he is an authentic NFL superstar who 267 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: will tell you how he feels, because a lot of 268 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: them won't. Um. I think it goes back to the parents. 269 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: What the parents did? I mean again, the kids parents 270 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,719 Speaker 1: kind of pushed him out. Yeah, that's the other thing. 271 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 1: Like I just I have a bit of a that's 272 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: a personal thing. I have a bit of a problem 273 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: with that, just because I always tell my kids and 274 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: my daughters. Y'all know, my daughter's a big theater nut, 275 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: and I always tell her respect what a person does. 276 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: You don't know who they are behind the scenes. So 277 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: trying too hard to be the fan where it's like 278 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: I want I want to like, I gotta get this autograph. 279 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: I got just slow down a little bit in in 280 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: idolizing these people, because they still are people and you 281 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: don't know who they are beyond what they do, right, 282 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: And so I have a little bit of a problem 283 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: with the parent that's like pushing their kid out there 284 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 1: go get the autograph. Like, so, now, if the kid 285 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: wants to get the autograph, let the kid get the autograph. 286 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: But you don't need to, like, you don't have to 287 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: spur them on, right. I may be wrong on that. 288 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 1: That's just my own personal No, that's the same thing 289 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: I thought. And it's like a lot of parents try 290 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: to get certain things through their kids or like made 291 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: the kid do things, you know, so you don't you 292 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: don't really know whether he was a fan or not. 293 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: And DeMarcus, yes, he could have maybe handled it better, 294 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: like say it more jokingly, maybe fist bump him. He's like, 295 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: oh you have a better jersey or whatever, joking. But 296 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: I think that most people around here, in the media 297 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: that works around here, it can confirm how DeMarcus Lawrence 298 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: like his true character, and that doesn't really represent who 299 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: he is. He's better than that. Yeah, I don't know. 300 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: I guess I don't care that much about it because 301 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: it doesn't really change my opinion of how I feel 302 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: like I seen enough of DeMarcus Lawrence, like I feel 303 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: like I have a good idea of like his true 304 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: character like you said, he's also you never one hundred 305 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: percent know what you're gonna get from him, which again 306 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: I respect, so you know, in the tank and one 307 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: thing that I shared in the story that I think 308 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: that is important too, when you when you kind of 309 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: get to know both sides of it. Last year at 310 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: the hospital visits, I walked around with him for six 311 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: or seven different rooms that he went into, and he 312 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: got choked up in every single one of them, just 313 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: seeing these kids and their parents there and asking them, 314 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: you know, because because it's an annual visit, and a 315 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: lot of the guys, hey, they put on the Santa hat, 316 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: they put on the jersey, they smiled and they hey, 317 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: you know, and they leave and it's their day off. 318 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: And all that DeMarcus was asking them what they wanted 319 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: for Christmas. They were telling them, he was writing it 320 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: down and having their pr people representative write it down, 321 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: and then the next day or two he made sure 322 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: that those families and kids got exactly what they were 323 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: asking for, which you don't have to do as a 324 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: part of that whole too. That was not so the deal, 325 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: and he doesn't want that even probably out there, but 326 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: but I just think it's important to know that, Like, 327 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: it's not they didn't like kids. I've seen him at 328 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: Chuck E Cheese twice. What's that say about me? I 329 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: don't know, but I'm just saying, did you did have 330 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: your kids? Yeah? Yeah, okay, I think that doesn't say 331 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: anything weird. He lives there that they go there every 332 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: every off day. They on all or nothing. They talked 333 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: about it.

Uh, 404 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: the Washington offense. We can do that. Um, how do 405 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: how do I want to start this? I don't ask 406 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: me ask one of my questions was the quarterback. He's 407 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: never played against the Cowboys ever. Court Really, I didn't 408 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: realize that last week eighty yards passing, yeah, three touchdowns. 409 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: He looked. Okay, he looked he looked pretty good. But 410 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 1: here's the thing. Maybe it's just so I went home yesterday, 411 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 1: I watched the whole Cowboys offense all twenty two, and 412 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: then I watched Washington and like the whole time, I 413 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: was like, God, it's like a different sport because Jay Gruden, 414 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: he's a West Coast guy. I mean, obviously it's not 415 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: pure West Coast, but like it's a lot of under 416 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: center stuff. It's that like it looks old like that, 417 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: you know, dropping back from under center and like turning 418 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: your back to the line of scrimmage, like a lot 419 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,360 Speaker 1: of that stuff. I was just like, these are some 420 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: slow developing plays. And they started running more shotgun, but 421 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: like they ran like ten plays in a row under center. 422 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: I was like, man, this just looks strange to me. 423 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 1: So that was my first impression. But it worked. Like 424 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: you said, he threw for three hundred and eighty yards. 425 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: A boatload of that went to Terry McLaurin, who so 426 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: that's probably your name to know. He's new to this matchup. 427 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: He's a rookie out of Ohio State. I'm impressive that 428 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: a rookie does at his first game. I'm gonna say 429 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: something that I mean as flattering and you're gonna laugh 430 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 1: at me. Okay, he reminds me of Terence Williams. Not again, 431 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: stop not like not all the not what you're thinking. 432 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: What I'm saying is like he can really scoot. He's 433 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: deceptively fast, got it he doesn't. He can get open. 434 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 1: He's not really a speech but he can get he doesn't. 435 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: You're not like, it's not like Tavon Austin, Like, man, 436 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: that guy's really fast. But all of a sudden, he's 437 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: sixty yards down field. He ran four three five, So 438 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: he's not slow. He can scoot. Yeah, and he's got 439 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 1: He's got like a Terrence type of build too. And 440 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: I feel like I saw him make at least one 441 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: bodycatch on tape, so maybe maybe there's more. Was he 442 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:02,719 Speaker 1: coming out of college? Like do you remember him from 443 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: last year? What he was? He was a senior Bowl guy. 444 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: He was dustin corners in mobile um a lot like 445 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you his stats at Ohio State, but 446 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,919 Speaker 1: he wasn't on that level of like he wasn't on 447 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: the Devin's same level as like Devin Smith coming out 448 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:26,479 Speaker 1: of school. Um, but very fast, very talented. All of 449 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: his damage in this game was just getting behind the secondary. 450 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: So that's something to watch. Um what rounds he picked 451 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: him third? Okay, um, Which it's funny that he had 452 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: such a big game because otherwise you're like, man, who 453 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: the hell do they have catching passes for him? Because 454 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: Jordan Reed was out, We're gonna need to watch him 455 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: over the course of the week. But he didn't play. 456 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 1: So Vernon Davis did a lot. Jeremy Sprink We'll pig 457 00:22:54,760 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: Suey he's up there. Um other yeah, yeah, he did 458 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: do that. Stole the spotlight at the Belk Bowl. Paul 459 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: Richardson you might remember him. And then the other gets 460 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: so if I'm trying to highlight people for you to watch, 461 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: Trey Quinn is the other one came out of SMU, 462 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: was actually at LSU before that. He's there Cole Beasley. 463 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: He's a little bit bigger, but it's very similar. So 464 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: he actually he had five catches for forty yards in 465 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: this game too, and so you watch him, and he's 466 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: doing all the same stuff, the crossing routes, the sitdowns, 467 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: the you know, cutting in and then cutting out, whatever 468 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: you call that, and it made me I'm like, how 469 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: are they going to cover this guy? Because that's how 470 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: they're gonna move the chains. And I actually went back 471 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: and watched last year's game where he had five catches 472 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: for twenty six yards and a touchdown, and the Cowboys 473 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: used Anthony Brown and he actually did a really good job. 474 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: He caught a touchdown, but it was kind of in 475 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: a prevent like, don't let anything get behind you type 476 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: of situation. Anthony Brown played really well against him and 477 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: actually got a pick on kind of like a stutter 478 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 1: go down the seam, and he just played it really 479 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,679 Speaker 1: well and undercut it. So I wonder if they'll do 480 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: that again because maybe handled himself really well. What else 481 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: did I see? The right side of their offensive line 482 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 1: is the side that's supposed to be good. That's where 483 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: Brandon Schurf is at guard. Morgan Moses got a second 484 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: contract at tackle. They got bullied. They got bullied really 485 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: bad by the Eagles. Timmy Jernagin blew up Schurf for 486 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: the only Eagles only sack of the game, and I 487 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: don't remember and gave it one sack. Yes, interesting they did. 488 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: Um I'm struggling to remember who was playing left Oh, 489 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: Derek Barnett, the first round draft pick. He beat up 490 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: on Moses pretty good. Um let's Moses had a holding penalty. 491 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: So Moses was the one that said it was a 492 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 1: slap in the face that Adrian Peterson wasn't playing. Sounds 493 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 1: he got slapped around pretty good to the right side 494 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: of the offensive line, Like everybody's worried about the left 495 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 1: side because it's Donald Penn who they signed a month 496 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: ago because Trent Williams won't show up. And Eric Flowers 497 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 1: our old friend. He's playing left guard now. And they, 498 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: I mean, they had their moments, but like they held 499 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: up pretty well compared Flowers held up. They helped. I 500 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: mean Flowers had a holding guard. Actually Flowers had you 501 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,360 Speaker 1: hide him a little bit. Flowers had consecutive holding penalties 502 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter when they were trying to come back, 503 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 1: but they still played. The point being is like the 504 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 1: right side has all the money and they didn't play 505 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: that well either, So so Hocket kept collapsing. Was Eric 506 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: Flowers up against um um, I'm not trying to blank 507 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: on the defensive tackles. Yeahs. And he only gave up 508 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: he didn't give up a sack. Kimmy Jernigan had the 509 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: only sack of the Wow. Yeah, that's impressive. Is their 510 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,479 Speaker 1: quarterback very mobile? No, And that's actually that's a great question, 511 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: because he did. I mean he he had three yards. 512 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,479 Speaker 1: He had a good game. But like when and this 513 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: is football all one on one, not trying to sound 514 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 1: like a super smart guy, but like when he didn't 515 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: have time, it all kind of fell apart, like when 516 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,360 Speaker 1: he had to move or when he went off schedule. 517 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: Because again, like I said, it's so weird to watch. 518 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 1: You're turning your back to the line of scrimmage, like 519 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: you know, five seven step drop and turning and looking 520 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: at your targets and when the pocket gets pushed it 521 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: it didn't. It didn't look anywhere near as good. Like 522 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: when he had time to sit back there and step 523 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 1: up and look around, he was fine. I mean he 524 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 1: had like eight seconds on the deep ball to McLaren 525 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: that went for like a sixty sixty eight yard touchdown. 526 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,640 Speaker 1: I think when it pushes back on him, it didn't 527 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: look anywhere near as good. And he had four or 528 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:47,160 Speaker 1: five really rough throws where he was off schedule, so shocking. 529 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: If you can put pressure on the quarterback, he's not 530 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: as good. And what's encouraging for me is the left 531 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 1: side of the Cowboys D line is where DeMarcus Lawrence is, 532 00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: So hey, go do that, d law I don't know what, 533 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: um I think this is. I think this is a 534 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 1: really favorable matchup. Um, we don't know what it'll look 535 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: like with Adrian Peterson. He obviously didn't play. Darius Guys 536 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: isn't going to play in this game. Um. Chris Thompson 537 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: is always a guy to watch that. He's another guy 538 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 1: that they're going to manufacture touches for him, like they're 539 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,679 Speaker 1: gonna run at least a few screen passes to him. 540 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: They're gonna try to get him the ball on those 541 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 1: swing routes. They've been doing it for years. He's been 542 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: there since thirteen. I think it's been that low. Yeah, wow, 543 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: that's time starts injuries though, hasn't he every year? A lot? 544 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:41,439 Speaker 1: He's Lance Dunbar except better, way better. Yeah. Now, he 545 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 1: did lead their team in receptions with seven last week, 546 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: which signals to me that he's a guy that's probably 547 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: gonna get some a lot of opportunities. He's a guy 548 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 1: that think they are it's a good screen. He's he's 549 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,439 Speaker 1: not like obvious, he's not gonna be in there at 550 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: the start of the game and he's not going to 551 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 1: carry the ball between the tackles that often. But like 552 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: Gruden comes up with, it's you know, pop passes, screen passes, 553 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: um this Like it's like he breaks out on that 554 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: swing route like every other snap. Yeah, So that's something 555 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 1: something they have to watch how the Cowboys manage something 556 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: like that, because I don't know that you necessarily want 557 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 1: to have a linebacker on him all day, as you 558 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: would typically linebackers matching up with running backs. But do 559 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,919 Speaker 1: you think the Cowboys need to consider the possibility of 560 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: taking one of the safeties down or do you take 561 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: another corner and maybe put a corner out there to 562 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: kind of kind of guard against some of that. I 563 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 1: think that that's why you have fast linebacker so you 564 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: can go, you know and make plays like that and 565 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: not have to, you know, say, well, let's put a 566 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: safety down there, because what you don't want is McLaurin 567 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: or whatever his name is, to go deep like that. 568 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: I mean, you'll handle that kind of stuff with Thompson 569 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: and then you know it's the whole bend, but don't break. 570 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: You saw it during the Giants game a couple of times. 571 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: I mean they would have been they would have been 572 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: stop them to a field goal, hold him a couple 573 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: of times to a turnover on down. So I don't 574 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: think you change it up. I think you use the 575 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: speed that you have on defense to go chase the football. 576 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: I think, and this is in the secret either the 577 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: Eagles secondary I think the world of Malcolm Jenkins, but 578 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: their corners are either hurt or bad and have been 579 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: for most of the last two years. The Cowboys have 580 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: really good corners, Like I think, Cheeto. I don't know 581 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: if y'all saw this. Cheeto ran the fastest recorded speed 582 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: in the NFL over the last two years when he 583 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: chased down Barkley, so you could see it, like yeah, 584 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: I mean you were like, wow, twenty five miles an hour. 585 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: I thought it was twenty three, but yeah, I mean 586 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: it's I thought it was twenty five minute. Either way, 587 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: that's faster than a school zone. I mean, like, do 588 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 1: you know it's weird? Tangent but I think and it 589 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: is impressive, but you're like, oh my god, he ran 590 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: twenty five miles an hour, and then I'm in my 591 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: car in a school zone like, oh my god, I'm 592 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: going so slow and Cheeto's running by Yeah exactly. Um, 593 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: but they said Barkley was only going twenty one between 594 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: between Cheeto and Byron. Don't you think you have the 595 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: time up in speed to deal with with that? You know, 596 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: is not a problem on this defense exactly, which is 597 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: why even Xavier, like they can run, what worries me? 598 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: I mean, he is, yeah, hurt, but I well he's 599 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 1: at practice, he's fine. But um, that's why, like I 600 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: look at Trey Quinn and to the same extent, Chris Thompson, 601 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: because can you and it get Tray Quinn's probably not 602 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: dusting anybody down the field, but just like Cole Beasley, 603 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: he's got that short space separation where it's third and 604 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: six and all of a sudden he's got two yards 605 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: of space on whoever's covering him for a first down. 606 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: Like that's I think that could be frustrating, And the 607 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: same thing goes for Chris Thompson. But I'm not worried 608 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 1: about the big play potential, and so McLaren win sixty 609 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: nine yards and then their other big play, Vernon Davis 610 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: catches a wheel route from the h back spot and 611 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 1: like four Philly dbs had a shot at him and 612 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: they were just like, no, we're gonna Keystone cops this 613 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: thing and just let you go to the end zone. 614 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: So I don't see that happening. I mean, it's possible, 615 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: but I think this team rallies to the ball well 616 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:08,959 Speaker 1: enough that I'm not worried about it, and I think 617 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: the corners have the speed to mitigate that. It's the 618 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: you know, death by a thousand papercuts type of thing. 619 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: I think that's what would worry me. But like I said, 620 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: Anthony Brown played Quinn really well in last year's game. 621 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: So all right, let's take our first final break. When 622 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: we come back, I do want to talk a little 623 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: bit about the running game. They only gave up a 624 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: small number of I mean they only gained a small 625 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: number of yards last week twenty eight, to be exact, 626 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: on the ground. I want to talk a little bit 627 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: about what that may mean for this week and how 628 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: the Cowboys should match up against them.

Back to the break final segment of 666 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 1: the Break Life next WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star. 667 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: We're talking about the Cowboys versus the Redskins. That that 668 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: game will be played this Sunday. It is a noon 669 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 1: game Central time. We'll be out in Washington Fort, so 670 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: it makes you stay tuned for that. I had a 671 00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: couple of questions where you, David, I guess, let's start 672 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: first with the rushing attack last week. I guess it's 673 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 1: hard to make assumptions after one week of football, obviously 674 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: in any direction, but the fact that they only had 675 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,399 Speaker 1: twenty eight yards rushing, that to me seems extremely though. 676 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,399 Speaker 1: It is the I guess thirty first at this point, 677 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 1: there was one team that had less than that last week. 678 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: Was this the function of the game and how the 679 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 1: game flowed? Was this the function of Darius Guys just 680 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 1: wasn't getting the job done. Was a situation where you 681 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 1: saw maybe the offensive line just wasn't opening holes and 682 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 1: that's why the running game wasn't successful. You definitely can't. 683 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 1: You can't chalk it up to the floor of the 684 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 1: game because they jumped out to a seventeen nothing lead. Yeah, 685 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: it wasn't there. Darius Guys did not look right. That 686 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 1: shouldn't be surprising since he's having his NCL looked at 687 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,840 Speaker 1: and will probably miss some time. But like the offensive 688 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 1: line just they got bullied a little bit, and that 689 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: shouldn't be surprising. The Eagles have a really, really good 690 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: defensive line. But it's encouraging because I think the Cowboys. 691 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if the Cowboys is as good as 692 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: the Eagles, but it's pretty good, and so I think 693 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 1: that's that should be favorable. Um that, like he I mean, 694 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,839 Speaker 1: guys had no holes for the most part to run through, 695 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 1: So you know, twenty eight is almost like an aberration. 696 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: Like even bad running teams can typically do a little 697 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 1: bit better than that, but a bad running back can 698 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 1: do better than that. Yeah, um, but yeah, no, I 699 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 1: think there's potential there to limit that. Although I was 700 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: gonna you know, I didn't really mention Adrian Peterson that 701 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: much in the second segment, but I was like, well, 702 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 1: you know, he's not gonna he's not gonna hit you 703 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 1: for sixty five yards like se Quon Barkley. But I'm 704 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 1: pretty sure it was just last season he had a 705 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 1: house call from like ninety two yards away, so he 706 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 1: can still run. He's still man. Yeah, so that's that's 707 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 1: something to watch. I think I think it'll look different 708 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,239 Speaker 1: for a couple of reasons, like you know, the matchup, 709 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 1: different running back, etc. So we'll see. All right, here's 710 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 1: a question from Raymond Garcia. He asked, we'll talk we'll 711 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 1: be active next week after the lack of a pass 712 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: rush last week, you guys think, I really not that 713 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: he's necessarily going to aid that and make it that 714 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 1: much better. But do they then make him active just 715 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 1: to give him another option? I think so. I mean, 716 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 1: I think they definitely could. I feel like he's better 717 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 1: than Joe Jackson. And but again, like I said the 718 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:30,879 Speaker 1: other day, I don't really know whether all is going 719 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 1: on in there and why this whole thing has just 720 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,759 Speaker 1: been very weird. Yeah, since last year. I don't know 721 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 1: what exactly is going on him because you see him 722 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,280 Speaker 1: and things seem to find him walking around or whatever. 723 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 1: But then behind doors, I mean, well, they clearly have 724 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,760 Speaker 1: a problem with him. You don't, and they should because 725 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: if they wanted to announce the inactives an hour, you know, 726 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 1: like Friday before the game, they would just do it. 727 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 1: But they don't. They do it ninety minutes before. And 728 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 1: does it really matter? Does it help the Giants to 729 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 1: know if Taco is going to be in or out. 730 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 1: Probably not, but Garrett to Garrett, it does. Ye, So 731 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: don't sit there on Saturday when that you got told 732 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 1: about it that you're not going to play and then 733 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,840 Speaker 1: tweet it out there like that this is not your news, 734 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 1: this is team news. But he made it his news. 735 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,800 Speaker 1: I'd be pissed if I was the team too. I 736 00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,359 Speaker 1: say this jokingly, but only a little bit. Like, you know, 737 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 1: we basically did our best to bury him yesterday, and 738 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 1: I don't. I stand by it. Like it's a bad 739 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 1: look and it's hard to imagine he's got a long 740 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 1: term future. But having said all that, they'll probably make 741 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 1: him acting six days later because that's the type of 742 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 1: stuff that happens. I mean, And yeah, he'll get a 743 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 1: sack in terms of like, in terms of rushing the passer, Yeah, 744 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,839 Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's better than Joe Jackson right now. 745 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 1: I get you know, Joe Jackson maybe could do more 746 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: for you in terms of special teams tackle end than 747 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,279 Speaker 1: like the whole totality, But in terms of getting out 748 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,719 Speaker 1: there and getting after somebody, I think I'd picked Taco 749 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,839 Speaker 1: over him right now. So maybe, But one thing we 750 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 1: also realized last week is getting down to your your 751 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 1: forty six. It's not an easy thing. So just saying 752 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 1: you want to make him active, that's cool. Who becomes 753 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 1: a guy that becomes inactive in his place? Well, you know, 754 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:23,360 Speaker 1: maybe it's uh four receivers, you know, maybe Tavon Austin. 755 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,839 Speaker 1: Think about what Tavon's role was in the game. I mean, 756 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,359 Speaker 1: you know, he played a little bit there. But but 757 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 1: I think maybe, as Dave said earlier, we talked about 758 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,839 Speaker 1: maybe Pollard can do some of them, some of those 759 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,879 Speaker 1: swing things. And maybe since it's gonna be probably gonna 760 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,720 Speaker 1: be a hot day noon or you know, one o'clock kickoff, 761 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 1: they might have more defensive lineman health or active, you know, 762 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,399 Speaker 1: I mean wearing blue jerseys and hot, they're gonna be 763 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,840 Speaker 1: all that stuff. Maybe they have nine guys, But the 764 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,800 Speaker 1: thought about that is you probably want an additional defensive 765 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 1: tackle before more defensive ends, because last week they ran 766 00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 1: with three defensive tackles. If you're worried about the heat, 767 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 1: bigger guys, Yeah, maybe you're sliding Crawford into play a 768 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 1: little bit more tackle than than in But if I 769 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,439 Speaker 1: have a tackle that can put in there like another one, yeah, 770 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,399 Speaker 1: not right now. So they only had three tackles coactive 771 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,800 Speaker 1: last week. Yeah, Tristan Hills out right. So the question 772 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 1: would be, is Tristan Hill the guy that they want 773 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,320 Speaker 1: to put back in because they want they want the 774 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 1: ability to have four guys in the rotation. Ye, honestly 775 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,400 Speaker 1: I would do that. I would put Tristan Hill and 776 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 1: Tacco and put Joe Jackson down. That's why I would 777 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:31,360 Speaker 1: do and go with four Roofie, that sounds maybe like 778 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,400 Speaker 1: I'm sitting here like that sounds scary to play the 779 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: game with only four guys got a foot injury and 780 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 1: I don't guys got ribs and yeah, but I mean 781 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 1: Tony Pollard can do something. Mean, Tony Pollard can do 782 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 1: return stuff for you. I guarant well. I would like 783 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 1: to think maybe maybe he doesn't have that big of 784 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,960 Speaker 1: a grasp on the playbook, but like Tony Pollard can 785 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,200 Speaker 1: motion from slot to and do a fake jet sweep 786 00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,800 Speaker 1: just as well as Tavon Austin Danny, like I would assume. 787 00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,520 Speaker 1: So maybe not on one week's notice, but maybe so. 788 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 1: I mean that's if you have to have seven. I 789 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 1: know we're talking and actives yet Yeah, we just jumped 790 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 1: ahead to Friday, right ahead, different question, And he's a 791 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 1: Taco is a pretty calm guy. But you know the 792 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,080 Speaker 1: other day we started talking about not having divas in 793 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 1: the offense and how that how much that has helped 794 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,280 Speaker 1: the team. Now, when you look at a guy that 795 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 1: maybe there's some frame, well, clearly there is some friction 796 00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 1: there between whatever's going on with him and the team. 797 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:34,279 Speaker 1: Do you see this potentially becoming a problem inside the 798 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 1: locker room as far as his attitude and what's going 799 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,160 Speaker 1: on around him. No, because and I'll tell you why. 800 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 1: And this is something I've learned over the years. And 801 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,720 Speaker 1: this isn't I'm not trying to throw shade at anybody, 802 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,879 Speaker 1: but it's just like the dynamic of a locker room, 803 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,719 Speaker 1: there's always going to be some grumpy guys, whether you're 804 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,480 Speaker 1: not like getting the playing time you think you deserve, 805 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:58,799 Speaker 1: or you're in a contract year or a problem for 806 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:02,239 Speaker 1: who Well, yeah, that's well just for the team or 807 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,680 Speaker 1: for problem for Taco, because I think there has been 808 00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,239 Speaker 1: a problem for Taco, but well clearly. Yeah. But you know, 809 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,759 Speaker 1: when you start having that attitude walking around with it, 810 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,680 Speaker 1: it starts affecting the people around you. Okay, problem for 811 00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,399 Speaker 1: that group that, and that's what boys I don't think. 812 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,839 Speaker 1: So that's what I know. Stronger than that, I can't 813 00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,399 Speaker 1: see it affecting the team at all, because there's for 814 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,359 Speaker 1: for however many disgruntled guys there are in the locker room, 815 00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,360 Speaker 1: there's ten that are you know, bound up in that 816 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,280 Speaker 1: team culture. And that's why it's so important for Jason 817 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,719 Speaker 1: Garrett to have his leadership counsel and all that. Like, 818 00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,960 Speaker 1: if Taco is upset about something, I don't think Tank 819 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 1: or Jalen or any like, Sorry, what do you want 820 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 1: us to do about it? You know it's gonna happen. 821 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 1: It's interesting, Nick, you'll probably remember this. I want to 822 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,839 Speaker 1: say it was like maybe mid two thousands, early two 823 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,520 Speaker 1: thousands where the talk around the NFL about the Cowboys 824 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,440 Speaker 1: was they just didn't have leadership, Like that was their 825 00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,400 Speaker 1: biggest problem. They didn't have leadership. And this is the 826 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,040 Speaker 1: exact opposite of that. I mean, they got a ton 827 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,000 Speaker 1: of leadership. And the guys that are the leaders in 828 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,799 Speaker 1: that locker room are really strong personalities, and a kind 829 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,239 Speaker 1: of personality is that I think other players respect. So 830 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,160 Speaker 1: you know, we talked about Tank earlier in this show. 831 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,000 Speaker 1: One of the reasons why I thought the Cowboys needed 832 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 1: to pay him what they paid him this offseason is 833 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,759 Speaker 1: because of that. Because when he speaks in that locker room, 834 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:25,239 Speaker 1: people listen, and people do what he's asking them to do. 835 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,319 Speaker 1: And he has a way of not only leading, but 836 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,120 Speaker 1: leading by example on top of his words, right, And 837 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 1: so I don't think a guy like Taco has the 838 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:35,719 Speaker 1: kind of leverage in a locker room like that to 839 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 1: cause problems when you've got a lot of really good 840 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 1: leaders that that won't allow that to happen. He doesn't 841 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:42,719 Speaker 1: have that kind of leverage to be able to pull 842 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,799 Speaker 1: people in a different direction or to be able to 843 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,360 Speaker 1: affect the chemistry. I don't think. Did y'all happen to 844 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,160 Speaker 1: watch these sounds from the sideline video that we put out. 845 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,000 Speaker 1: That's funny If you haven't. If you're listening and you haven't, 846 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,200 Speaker 1: you need to go check it out. Tank got that 847 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: fumble from Eli. Big gott a turnover, you know, big play, 848 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,319 Speaker 1: and he comes back to the bench He's like, y'all 849 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,440 Speaker 1: need to wake the hell up, because when I get 850 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,720 Speaker 1: the ball, I want to celebrate, and y'all are acting 851 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 1: like some whim space and like everybody on the bench 852 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,239 Speaker 1: was like, we thought there was a flag man, we 853 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,040 Speaker 1: thought the play was coming back. And he was like, oh, 854 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,920 Speaker 1: all right, but next time, don't let it happen. I 855 00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,920 Speaker 1: just yea, there's there are very strong personalities in that 856 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 1: locker room that are bound up and yeah, I don't 857 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,279 Speaker 1: see that happening. Ye all right, just all right. We 858 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,480 Speaker 1: appreciate you join us.
