Speaker 3: Ain't no food.
Speaker 2: Lunch, Jerry.
Speaker 3: He's opening to keep this thing on getting right.
Speaker 4: You gotta give me a scoopy snack baby.
Speaker 2: In the house.
Speaker 3: Cowboys cut the roster to fifty three, by the way,
Speaker 3: brought to you by Aristocrat Game.
Speaker 2: Now that we it's it's simple. It's set.
Speaker 3: They're gonna keep bringing folks in. This team is not set. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they're not good enough to say we're good. What we
Speaker 3: got pretty some more folks here? What position group are
Speaker 3: you saying right now? I'm comfortable. I like this group door.
Speaker 5: Set from what I saw the linebackers, you know what
Speaker 5: I'm saying. The linebackers, that second level, they showed up
Speaker 5: and it was a lot of young boys out there
Speaker 5: showing out too as well. But I think that that
Speaker 5: group right there showed me throughout the preseason, uh, a
Speaker 5: little bit of everything that I wanted to see from them.
Speaker 5: We talked about the Cowboys that previously not having a
Speaker 5: big name linebacker, and then some of the guys that
Speaker 5: we've previously had, like Sean Lee and the young man
Speaker 5: that just broke his neck of rightand h So.
Speaker 2: We're looking for somebody to feel that middle by to
Speaker 2: be on the second second. It took me in there
Speaker 2: withding just I just jumped on, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: Getting but but but I'm I'm gonna say the backers, man,
Speaker 5: young boys, they stepped up and played well.
Speaker 2: So that group, definitely.
Speaker 4: BOS was the d n my bad. I love it.
Speaker 4: I played football for a long time. They started with
Speaker 4: next by.
Speaker 2: Not just wut.
Speaker 4: They all they all look the same God.
Speaker 2: Darth Vader, sith Lord that guy, that guy, that guy was.
Speaker 4: Like that.
Speaker 5: I think the linebackers and they got the young talent,
Speaker 5: and I think they got some kids out there. There's
Speaker 5: going and being an organization for a little while. They
Speaker 5: keep playing the way they plan and they going some
Speaker 5: time to grow and learn and get good out there.
Speaker 2: So like like Church, what you got for me?
Speaker 6: I love the linebackers as well, but I'm gonna go
Speaker 6: wide receivers. Just from what we saw training camp. I
Speaker 6: know we didn't see any preseason action from the from
Speaker 6: the two big dogs talking about Lamb and pickings out there,
Speaker 6: but from what we see in at camp, man, those
Speaker 6: two are gonna be a dynamic duo and it's gonna
Speaker 6: be hard, you know, to cover both of those guys
Speaker 6: because you can't double team both though.
Speaker 2: You can't do it, and it's gonna create.
Speaker 6: Light boxes and the whole offense, to me, is gonna
Speaker 6: feel a lot more balanced than it has been because
Speaker 6: you're gonna have to have safeties over the top of
Speaker 6: those two guys, which opens up the box for these
Speaker 6: running backs. And we all know Dak Prescott his best
Speaker 6: when he has a balanced offense out there. So when
Speaker 6: you get those two out there together, I mean, it's
Speaker 6: gonna be like night and day from last year. You're
Speaker 6: gonna have Cde Lamb going from slot to X to Z.
Speaker 6: You can have Pickings out on the outside, and hey,
Speaker 6: if they want to cover anyone on want to see
Speaker 6: what he got. I feel like Pickings got the ability
Speaker 6: to burn anybody out there. You got the speed, the
Speaker 6: fifty to fifty catching ability. So for me, those wide
Speaker 6: receivers I'm mixed ttremely comfortable with.
Speaker 4: All right, man, man, For me, I want y'all took
Speaker 4: both my answers. The wide receivers in the linebacking corps,
Speaker 4: that's who I feel the most comfortable with as far
Speaker 4: as us adding the big name guys over there. But
Speaker 4: then as far as I'm gonna take your step further
Speaker 4: and go to the linebacking cord. And in the Matt
Speaker 4: Eberflus defense, I know I always say that it's predicated
Speaker 4: on the defensive line, but if you got penetration and
Speaker 4: you don't have nobody covering or filling in those gaps,
Speaker 4: that this is a null involved scheme. Like Vb's ain't
Speaker 4: gonna be back there doing what they need to do.
Speaker 4: It is predicated off of these linebackers. And so from
Speaker 4: what I've seen from them filling into the gaps, I
Speaker 4: really like where they were covering. But after that, that's
Speaker 4: where I get I guess, I guess, get a little finicky.
Speaker 4: So that was the one bright spot for me being
Speaker 4: a defensive guy.
Speaker 2: Going to go way out of the way special teams
Speaker 2: unit for me.
Speaker 3: Okay, really, because if they don't Brandon Aubrey, well he's
Speaker 3: gonna be real and a half and so there's gonna
Speaker 3: be some times him and just get this thing to
Speaker 3: the forty and we can put up three and he like,
Speaker 3: do not, Hey, don't mess this up. Guys, don't throwny picks,
Speaker 3: don't fumble. Just that ability to sit here, okay, man,
Speaker 3: we can we can figure out how to get three points,
Speaker 3: especially at the end of the half here, because you've
Speaker 3: got a weapon in Brandon Aubrey.
Speaker 2: Your punter Brian Anger is very very good, and.
Speaker 3: If the offense is an issue, he's got to be
Speaker 3: able to flip the field.
Speaker 2: He's gonna have to be able to do that.
Speaker 3: So a field goal kicker who can can make long kicks,
Speaker 3: a punter who can flip it, and then Cavante Turpett, Yeah,
Speaker 3: he's a Pro Bowl dynamic player. And special teams, as
Speaker 3: you guys all know because you all played it when
Speaker 3: you were in the National Football League, is where you
Speaker 3: had to make your mark.
Speaker 2: This is one third of the game.
Speaker 3: And you're the Cowboys right now and you've got some
Speaker 3: issues on the other side. You've got to win on Sundays.
Speaker 3: They have to win this battle of special team. Offense, defense,
Speaker 3: special teams. Those are three areas that they got to
Speaker 3: take that every time.
Speaker 6: And if they're able to bring back wo from reports, say,
Speaker 6: you know they're bringing back c J. Goodwhen I know
Speaker 6: he was on the Cutlers, But if they're able to
Speaker 6: bring him back, I mean that's another guy that, like
Speaker 6: you said, he can pin guys deep on kickoff, punt,
Speaker 6: all that stuff so special.
Speaker 4: Definitely, I definitely did, especially watching what was the game
Speaker 4: is the last preseason game to see to see him
Speaker 4: make that uh what was it? A sixty four yard kick?
Speaker 4: We were talking about it in the studio. It was like,
Speaker 4: man kind of wish that the special team coach, just
Speaker 4: because it's preseason take a penalty to go ahead and
Speaker 4: give him that yard. That was the longest one that
Speaker 4: we've seen and with that kick sixty four yards, it
Speaker 4: looked like he had at least another ten yards to
Speaker 4: go on there. So when you say that it's one
Speaker 4: let me apologize here on the players Loud because they
Speaker 4: were talking about, hey, can you name like a top
Speaker 4: five player on the roster and they were like, yo,
Speaker 4: you got to include b a. Yeah, like he honestly
Speaker 4: might be top three as far as who can be
Speaker 4: efficient with their job. So I'll be remiss to apologize again.
Speaker 4: So when you said that, like, I had a flash though.
Speaker 3: Chris Bean, our producer, remembers that Bill Parcells used always
Speaker 3: talk about the hitting yard in fact, and this to me,
Speaker 3: when you're the Cowboys and you're a new head coach
Speaker 3: and Brian Schottenheimer figure out how to win this part
Speaker 3: of the game, and you're going to be in a
Speaker 3: better position. One thing that Bill Belichick does not get
Speaker 3: enough credit for his time as a six time Super
Speaker 3: Bowl winning head coach. He was always good at special
Speaker 3: team they always I remember, and Chris you remember this too.
Speaker 3: When the Cowboys were up there. It was a game
Speaker 3: in Foxborough, it was raining, Jason Herett was it was
Speaker 3: a game the Cowboys should have won. But Matthew Slater
Speaker 3: gets in here, makes it play on special teams, low
Speaker 3: scoring game, the defense did everything they needed to do,
Speaker 3: and special teams won it. And I'm just like, Okay,
Speaker 3: this is what it is. Sean Payton, who coached for
Speaker 3: a Bill Parcells here in Dallas, goes to New Orleans.
Speaker 3: Super Bowls turned on special teams. And so that's why
Speaker 3: I just say, I look at the unit of what
Speaker 3: they've got, these three specialists here, all Pro Bowl players,
Speaker 3: all guys that can help him, and I just think
Speaker 3: this is one way Brian Schottenheimer can steal some wins
Speaker 3: this year because he's got a good special teams. So
Speaker 3: when I look at all the units here, for me,
Speaker 3: I say, hey, man, I feel really good about what
Speaker 3: they've got going.
Speaker 4: On special teams is way what they said. It's one
Speaker 4: of those those grunt work jobs that don't get enough
Speaker 4: like Seane and love for it to see with the
Speaker 4: like you said, the flipping the field position and a
Speaker 4: lot of those guys that play on the special team
Speaker 4: like when they make those plays another taking other stuff further,
Speaker 4: not only flipping the field position. You got a guy
Speaker 4: that goes out there and make a play and then
Speaker 4: he's coming in on defense and he's a rotational guy
Speaker 4: or you know, offensive guy like that's helped build him
Speaker 4: building that momentum. You don't think Dak Prescott feels good
Speaker 4: when he's getting the ball and it's like, ah, man,
Speaker 4: all right, I know I'm gonna get these points. Now
Speaker 4: it ain't as much pressure on me to go do that,
Speaker 4: and now you can get more comfortable like that plays
Speaker 4: tremendous roles and you know it bear as soon as
Speaker 4: you come out the field, like you dapping up that
Speaker 4: young guy, you dapping up the special team ball. Man,
Speaker 4: I appreciate that. Y'all just helped us out.
Speaker 5: Man, especially Yeah, them them punts, them deep punts and
Speaker 5: the down and keeping people behind the twenty yard line
Speaker 5: starting out on defense.
Speaker 4: Let me get one of those of them.
Speaker 2: Man, you dapping your punter up soon as you coming
Speaker 2: out there. I appreciate that last I.
Speaker 6: Love it when the kicker kicked it out of the
Speaker 6: back of the ends. Man, I know they like on them,
Speaker 6: but that means you sprinting down there. But if I
Speaker 6: know you've been to boot.
Speaker 2: That thing in the back of the don't let me
Speaker 2: get this trot on.
Speaker 6: I know I gotta you know, I gotta be back
Speaker 6: on defense, So let me get this trott.
Speaker 2: On down there.
Speaker 4: All right, We're good. That's cool. When you got somebody
Speaker 4: that got a boot, if you got somebody that was
Speaker 4: a place like I've been a journeyman, been around a
Speaker 4: lot of guys, a lot of those guys that were
Speaker 4: placed kickers. Then literally can say, hey, you want it
Speaker 4: on the five bed, I'm gonna give it with a
Speaker 4: back spin right there and hit that and you sitting there,
Speaker 4: don't be that guy. Because I could talk about this
Speaker 4: because I'm a big D line and they play gunner.
Speaker 4: Don't be that guy I was. I can afford to
Speaker 4: shift gears once that back they.
Speaker 2: Gotta go over dB on the other side.
Speaker 4: Sitting over there jog and thinking it's about to go,
Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden you show up on
Speaker 4: film and then Larry is though saying, why is the
Speaker 4: d lineman beat you down? Feeling that's a changing the
Speaker 4: word like you have to like, oh I thought he
Speaker 4: was gonna fair catch it or no, you really got
Speaker 4: to pay attention because even with you going down there,
Speaker 4: let's say you don't even fair catch it. The worst
Speaker 4: ones where when you had the guys back there like
Speaker 4: trending in them, they used to act like they're about
Speaker 4: to catch it, and then as soon as you put up,
Speaker 4: oh man Kawayne Harris was good at that one butt,
Speaker 4: somebody look up and they catch it real quick. You
Speaker 4: hit him with the pump fact got you.
Speaker 3: Then there's some mistakes that happened on special stick out there.
Speaker 3: You know, all of a sudden, you know, you get
Speaker 3: a block in the back, and now you can find
Speaker 3: yourself really in trouble, or there's a muffed punt or
Speaker 3: there's a punk block. You start missing the field goal
Speaker 3: and then the position changes happens on a missfield goal.
Speaker 3: We know in the NFL these games are deciding, most
Speaker 3: of them by three points or less, so you start,
Speaker 3: you start this in the field goal, or you start.
Speaker 2: Missing the extra. All this stuff adds up here.
Speaker 3: So this is to me a key component of what
Speaker 3: this Cowboy season needs to be. If Barry Church go
Speaker 3: win when bet and get ten games, I'm getting ten,
Speaker 3: they're gonna have to be they.
Speaker 2: You know, as long as fours there.
Speaker 3: So in order for you to get that, do you
Speaker 3: go need all three guys on special team to be
Speaker 3: Pro Bowl guys.
Speaker 2: That's what you're gonna need.
Speaker 4: We can do that.
Speaker 2: You don't even need that. I just don't want.
Speaker 6: What was that year of that game when my boys
Speaker 6: said I saw something in the on the return.
Speaker 4: He would like check check that.
Speaker 2: It was like four like.
Speaker 4: This, dude, like you know it.
Speaker 2: I got it activated.
Speaker 3: I got activated like a second or third year player
Speaker 3: playing personal protector on punt thirty five on your own
Speaker 3: thirty thirty five game. And my man said, oh I
Speaker 3: see this, I'm activating on your own thirty Let him
Speaker 3: do it went up. There was gonna sit there in
Speaker 3: the press composes. You know, they did the right thing.
Speaker 3: He thought he activated. It didn't turn out the way
Speaker 3: he wanted to be, Like, I think it was one
Speaker 3: y I think it was.
Speaker 2: It was, it was, it was. It was like you know,
Speaker 2: my time, it's still like still like the doing that matter?
Speaker 4: I got this? What that what they said on Instagram?
Speaker 4: I'm gonna stick beside him. I'm going to stick beside it.
Speaker 4: Youn't want to And we got that like Bray, that's why,
Speaker 4: that's why you can't give certain people that power. You'd
Speaker 4: be like, hey, give it to me, coach, I can't wait.
Speaker 2: It was one of the endless things you ever said.
Speaker 3: You can wait what he waked at me and McCarthy
Speaker 3: man carthy just look at that days and good.
Speaker 4: You can tell he was.
Speaker 2: McCarthy was in on it because he was like, what.
Speaker 4: The but you see this, This is a prime example
Speaker 4: right here. Shout out to Newie for giving them their
Speaker 4: credit on the special team. Nobody gives them the credit.
Speaker 4: But guess what if you mess up.
Speaker 7: All day always on, all you gotta do is get
Speaker 7: you gotta right players, be ten total snaps a game.
Speaker 5: And you tell me, man, I've always said, if I was,
Speaker 5: if I was the head coach, my kicker is gonna
Speaker 5: be a to a two position.
Speaker 2: Dude, because it's gonna make your sense. It's gonna make
Speaker 2: me as a defensive player.
Speaker 5: And y'all know this as defensive players, you know what
Speaker 5: I'm saying. Like you you you're sitting there and special
Speaker 5: teams as well. You didn't get all this stuff in
Speaker 5: the game, right, and just that we're talking about kicker.
Speaker 5: Go out there, mister field goal. He got me getting
Speaker 5: maybe five reps a game. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 5: You didn't did forty something fifty something plays.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So like for me, I've always had that joke that like, yeah,
Speaker 5: if I was at the head coach, my kicker is
Speaker 5: gonna have two positions.
Speaker 2: He's gonna play two positions. I'm a special I.
Speaker 4: Want one thing about it is all we need. Yeah,
Speaker 4: if you got coming down here hit people is a problem.
Speaker 4: I'm talking to.
Speaker 2: The women I played Withakowski too. Yeah, all right, how
Speaker 2: many sea basses are.
Speaker 4: Bringing?
Speaker 3: Can you bring in two fifty polar like you know,
Speaker 3: that's like the Cam Newton kicker, except yeahs nominally he.
Speaker 5: Was He is nominally the Cam Newton and JaMarcus Russell sometime.
Speaker 4: Dependent depending on which phase it is.
Speaker 2: That was wow.
Speaker 3: Okay, So we just talked about the position group that
Speaker 3: you know, we're comfortable with Let's take a break and
Speaker 3: flipp it to where we got It's triple.

Speaker 2: We'll be good at this time. Man charging quick man,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: I learned.
Speaker 2: I learned from him.
Speaker 4: I learned from dirty man.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 4: You what that was? Man?
Speaker 3: By the way, the special teams coordinators Nick Sorenson, Bones
Speaker 3: Fossil is gone. So I guess next time we have
Speaker 3: media availability, Uh, we need ask him.
Speaker 2: The players able to act?
Speaker 3: I saw something but with no that was one of
Speaker 3: the Still maybe I'll just asd Shoddy next president. Any
Speaker 3: activations going, yeah here with bones?
Speaker 2: Anybody activating here Thursday night? See somewhere seen before some
Speaker 2: go from there?
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 3: We spent the last segment talking about the position group.
Speaker 3: Now the Cowboys cut the team down to fifty three.
Speaker 3: Where we're comfortable? Where are you not comfortable?
Speaker 2: Is the concern.
Speaker 3: I will start with you, Demitree Morris, since you were
Speaker 3: last time to let you be from Thank you, thank.
Speaker 6: You, thank you.
Speaker 4: You know where I'm uncomfortable at the D line. Pay
Speaker 4: Michael after you get done with Michael. I did not
Speaker 4: see enough run stopping. I did not see the penetration
Speaker 4: to separate being calls down there. There was a couple
Speaker 4: of bright spots, but the bright spots that I seen
Speaker 4: was from let me not mess up his name, so
Speaker 4: y'all don't get on me. But the guy I believe
Speaker 4: he was undrafted or six round pick, the Samoan and
Speaker 4: Polynesian kid that was there. You go that that was
Speaker 4: the brightest spot that I seen out of a young guy,
Speaker 4: don't get me wrong, second round pick doing his thing.
Speaker 4: But it's like we need the interior, Like where is
Speaker 4: that going to come from? Like not just Mazi, not
Speaker 4: just like Osa, Like I want to see when it
Speaker 4: comes down there like Week one Eagles SIQ one coming
Speaker 4: straight down smash mount football, like you see Washington what
Speaker 4: they do it Like we need to stop this run.
Speaker 4: And I did not feel that comfortable. Like I'm glad
Speaker 4: what he said. I'm glad that I got to see
Speaker 4: the only reason I got the comfortability behind the linebackers
Speaker 4: was because our d line kept getting pushed back there
Speaker 4: or they were partner like the Red Seas Like I'm
Speaker 4: sitting there, you thought it was all to call at
Speaker 4: church that they opened up them doors and sometimes people
Speaker 4: were going through there. So for me, I'm upset. I
Speaker 4: think that's one of those things that we need to
Speaker 4: address right now as soon as you hit the waiver wire,
Speaker 4: Like I'm a big thrifter, Like right now, we need
Speaker 4: to go thrift and figure out who is out there
Speaker 4: to go get this done.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm gon lean on it.
Speaker 5: And I've said it before, this is the running backs,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean? For me, I could say
Speaker 5: DB's but I'm gonna say the running backs. And simply
Speaker 5: because what we saw throughout the preseason and I know
Speaker 5: we had a mixed match line and dudes just you know,
Speaker 5: like really everybody wasn't playing, but it was still it
Speaker 5: was just there was even with the identity that they're
Speaker 5: supposed to be run first and everything, there was there
Speaker 5: was nothing to prove that throughout the the preseason. So
Speaker 5: for me and just sitting back and see who was
Speaker 5: it they didn't play the whole season, the whole preseason mouthset. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and I'm not knocking in, but like, was he that guy?
Speaker 5: Like is he that top ten back in the league
Speaker 5: that you could just say, hey, just sit over here
Speaker 5: and chill out, don't take no reps from the preseason
Speaker 5: because we know that you're going to be that dude.
Speaker 2: So for me, it's going to be the running back room.
Speaker 6: For me, I'm going into trenches as well, but I'm
Speaker 6: going to the offensive side that it's not really the interior.
Speaker 6: You know, I kind of feel comfortable with, you know,
Speaker 6: the young guy Tyler Booker. I'm definitely comfortable on the
Speaker 6: All Pro Tyler Smith and BB. He was able to
Speaker 6: do his thing at the center spot. So I'm comfortable
Speaker 6: right there and that's that's okay because that will get
Speaker 6: your ability to step up in the pocket.
Speaker 2: Maybe not that first game versus the Eggs because they
Speaker 2: got some.
Speaker 4: Dogs on somebody face.
Speaker 6: Overall, I feel decent about the interior part of the
Speaker 6: offensive line.
Speaker 4: So you're talking about the back, I'm.
Speaker 2: Talking about the outside. I'm talking about the tackle pieces
Speaker 2: both guys.
Speaker 6: I'm talking about Tyler Guyden who you know, he may
Speaker 6: not even be ready on Week one, but when he
Speaker 6: does come back and he's putting to this lineup. He
Speaker 6: didn't show me much last year to where I was like, oh,
Speaker 6: he's gonna be able to, you know, to hold down
Speaker 6: that blind side you know, he really didn't show me
Speaker 6: much out there. And then my guy Terry Steele, who
Speaker 6: you know, we came in as an undrafted guy, rookie,
Speaker 6: you know, kind of showed some flashes and took the
Speaker 6: big leap the next year, got paid, and then you know,
Speaker 6: kind of came back down, you know, over the years,
Speaker 6: and it's whatever, whether it's holding penalties, whether it's you know,
Speaker 6: just getting beat like a drum out there. He just
Speaker 6: kind of an up and down player. He's an up
Speaker 6: and down player, and that's tackle spots.
Speaker 2: You gotta have consistency.
Speaker 6: You gotta have consistency, especially with the NFL nowadays where
Speaker 6: they getting these edge rushers that are running four fours,
Speaker 6: running four fives, being able to get after the quarterback.
Speaker 6: So for me, those those two pieces on the outside, man,
Speaker 6: I gotta see something from them or it's gonna be
Speaker 6: it's gonna be hectic out there.
Speaker 3: So left tackle Nate Thomas, Nate Thomas is in there now,
Speaker 3: Nate Thomas.
Speaker 2: H Let's see, let's look at Nate. Round of.
Speaker 4: Stats on him.
Speaker 3: Not familiar with we can okay, so uh just just
Speaker 3: reading the bio put the glass on Okay, second year
Speaker 3: out of Louisiana six five, three hundred and thirty pounds
Speaker 3: transaction summary. August twenty seven, twenty twenty four, placed on
Speaker 3: reserve slash injury with knee injury, and then April twenty eighth,
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four, drafted seventh overall by Dallas.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 4: That's it.
Speaker 6: Not seventh overall, seventh seventh round.
Speaker 2: So so yeah, so professionally there's there's no, there's nothing.
Speaker 6: That's what they say, not I think nothing.
Speaker 3: He started twenty five games left tackle for Louisiana, Louisiana State, Louisiana.
Speaker 6: So yeah, he gon show some no for them to
Speaker 6: have common start trade.
Speaker 2: Critic games zero starts.
Speaker 4: Zero, ain't got much of that potential.
Speaker 3: Start first game against the World champions, and that defensive line,
Speaker 3: defensive coordinated, big fans, you.
Speaker 2: Know, you know he throwing everything but to catch. We're
Speaker 2: gonna find out real quick.
Speaker 3: Was really so the offensive line at this point in
Speaker 3: time will have two gentlemen lineup respected the line up
Speaker 3: against the Eagles who played zero games against a big
Speaker 3: Fangio defense, and Tyler Booker and Nate Thomas m you.
Speaker 4: Know what that is, right?
Speaker 2: Feeling good about that?
Speaker 4: No, no, you know you know what that is right there,
Speaker 4: what they used to do back in the day when
Speaker 4: your uncle came over there. Hey, I need to learn
Speaker 4: how to swim. I got you get out there, sat
Speaker 4: or swim right now? You throwing them to the fishes
Speaker 4: and let's just hope that swim.
Speaker 2: So my concern. You're good on the d line. I
Speaker 2: get it.
Speaker 3: You can't stop anybody. I mean, right at this point
Speaker 3: in time, I don't bet. But if I did, I say,
Speaker 3: take fifty. It's possible, first possible, possible. But my bigger
Speaker 3: concern is the offensive line, because I'm not expecting anything
Speaker 3: great from the defense. If Michael Since is signed and plays,
Speaker 3: he's not gonna play the whole game. You're going to
Speaker 3: need the offense to establish the run and beleive the clock.
Speaker 2: You're gonna need that to try to win this football.
Speaker 3: You say that, at my concern is your offensive line.
Speaker 3: I don't care how good Pickings and Lamb looked at.
Speaker 3: Can't if you if you third and fifteen, you know,
Speaker 3: if you're not able to run the ball, it's gonna
Speaker 3: be a problem. And everybody's gonna know what you're gonna
Speaker 3: do on third down. So it's gonna be. So this
Speaker 3: offensive line, to me is the issue. Got to second
Speaker 3: your guy in Cooper b B at the center position.
Speaker 3: He showed flashes should being good, but you know he's there.
Speaker 3: How much does he help Booker? That got them big
Speaker 3: boys up there for the DT. They going to test
Speaker 3: Booker right away? Are they able to pass guys up?
Speaker 2: How do you? How do you? How do you handle
Speaker 2: the stunts right there?
Speaker 3: And then the left tackles, Hey, they're gonna comfort, They're
Speaker 3: gonna come.
Speaker 2: Are you now?
Speaker 4: Is Clint Hurts? Is he still the D line coach
Speaker 4: over there Philly? If he is, I will tell you
Speaker 4: like this, I play for him at Seattle. You can
Speaker 4: expect a lot of twist stunts that are about to
Speaker 4: happen right now, like he is going to maximize and play.
Speaker 4: He loves his interior guys from you got Jalen Carter
Speaker 4: to Jaran Reed, like he's going to dial up these
Speaker 4: blitzes with him over there like so for them, how
Speaker 4: do they handle those pass off stunts? Like being young
Speaker 4: like that?
Speaker 3: And so now you're trying to worry about what what
Speaker 3: are going to be some of your offensive packages here?
Speaker 3: You can have Luke schoonmaker get over here so he
Speaker 3: can help left tackle? Or is Hunter gonna be in
Speaker 3: the backfield?
Speaker 4: Buggy? We gonna eat your words?
Speaker 2: Is he is he out here looking the hell?
Speaker 3: I mean that's these are the things that I am
Speaker 3: very concerned about.
Speaker 2: Is they going to fieldelp?
Speaker 3: We don't know what Brion Brian shot Hiver is gonna do.
Speaker 3: We saw what Kellen Moore and Mike McCarthy would do.
Speaker 3: Nothing happened on first down? We throw it, you know,
Speaker 3: so so will he stay with it?
Speaker 7: You?
Speaker 3: In my mind, you have to bleed this clock. You
Speaker 3: gotta have to save. You have to save this defense.
Speaker 3: They can If this defense is on the field for
Speaker 3: forty minutes or even thirty five plus, it's going to
Speaker 3: be a long night in Philadelphia. So the offensive line
Speaker 3: is my biggest concern. You have to be able to
Speaker 3: give Dak some time. You gotta hope open some holes
Speaker 3: for Williams.
Speaker 4: You just it has So is it the whole offensive
Speaker 4: line or are you doing with Berry and just saying
Speaker 4: the tackles.
Speaker 3: No, it's the hole because you've got the right you
Speaker 3: got young you got Youngerukie right guard left tackles never
Speaker 3: played a game man, this is a tough challenge here.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I'm telling you that.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you I get but i'm telling you that
Speaker 4: that coach over there is.
Speaker 2: He said he got a Q four healthy to get
Speaker 2: the bet done.
Speaker 3: Let's take the break, so I want you to since
Speaker 3: you say no, man, you take this two minutes.
Speaker 2: Let's get mine right because I get you mine right.

Speaker 3: line you did. Now you you get got shot with
Speaker 3: hopium and you're feeling good actually to.
Speaker 2: Okay, what's going on.
Speaker 6: I just don't think it's gonna be as big of
Speaker 6: a blood bath as we're making it scene right now. Yes,
Speaker 6: they have the advantage in the trenches. We all understand
Speaker 6: that Philly's defensive line is outstanding. But just as good
Speaker 6: as they are the trenches, their back end is not
Speaker 6: like that.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 2: It's not like that at all, all right, And I
Speaker 2: understand what y'all say.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, but ain't gonna have time if shot, he's
Speaker 6: as good as a play calling as a lot of
Speaker 6: people think he is. He's gonna have this thing balance,
Speaker 6: He's gonna have an ability to slow down that rush,
Speaker 6: whether it's screens, getting the ball out of Dack's hands
Speaker 6: quick as heck, who has the best wide.
Speaker 2: Receiver when it comes to yak seed lamb.
Speaker 6: You get the ball out of his hands quick and
Speaker 6: take that off of that defensive line out of the game.
Speaker 2: What does Philly have back there? That's like, man, you
Speaker 2: know what it's We can hold it down like that.
Speaker 6: And then if you bring a third guy down into
Speaker 6: the bottle said I'm sorry, seventh guy down into the
Speaker 6: bar bringing that safety, you're leaving pickings and lamb one
Speaker 6: on one.
Speaker 2: That's a three step fade all day. That's not us.
Speaker 6: That's not sitting there in the pocket waiting for Carter
Speaker 6: to make his moves and guys coming off the edge.
Speaker 2: That's not that.
Speaker 3: Last time the Eagles played, I remember that having picked
Speaker 3: six against the super Bowl one.
Speaker 2: You know, but they didn't have pickings and lamb out there.
Speaker 2: They ain't have that.
Speaker 5: Now, this don't have nothing to do with with with
Speaker 5: what the question was. But you're talking about pickings and lambs.
Speaker 5: You're forgetting about who they got over there in the secondary.
Speaker 5: I'm talking about who So when when when.
Speaker 2: Philly has the ball? Oh, that's why I said this
Speaker 2: has nothing to do with the argument.
Speaker 5: But you're sitting here saying, like, yo, when they get
Speaker 5: like that over there, that's it.
Speaker 2: That's really had the monster over the super Bowl.
Speaker 5: That's that's that's real over So we got to match up,
Speaker 5: so we can't just talk about what they don't have
Speaker 5: it with you, right.
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna go ahead and bring it back to
Speaker 4: the question to his point where he said you forgot
Speaker 4: who they got over there. That's where that's going to
Speaker 4: eliminate what you're talking about. Who they got on the
Speaker 4: offensive side, I guess what they're going to score. When
Speaker 4: they score, What do you have to do? Once you score,
Speaker 4: you gotta score. So now if you ain't scoring, were saying,
Speaker 4: we're getting away from this run and bleeding the clock.
Speaker 4: So now we're throwing this a pass rush, and who
Speaker 4: pass rush is gonna do better? And this is where
Speaker 4: after this this game, I think it's gonna be a
Speaker 4: blood bath. The first one. I think it's just a
Speaker 4: wake up experience if we're being completely honest. But this game,
Speaker 4: right here, you're either going to make a superstar or
Speaker 4: some stuff is gonna get exposed right here. They're gonna
Speaker 4: have the forced opportunities. You have two unproving guys against
Speaker 4: a proven Super Bowl winning defensive line. You have a
Speaker 4: defensive a defensive coordinator that is one of the top
Speaker 4: guys over there. You have Clint Hurts that's over there,
Speaker 4: that's leading that defensive line. That is a big a
Speaker 4: big ego and a big personality, just like those big
Speaker 4: players he got over there that he's about to go
Speaker 4: out there. I'm telling you, I set this off camera,
Speaker 4: but I'm looking I'm telling you all right now, Coach
Speaker 4: Hurts is about to go over there and say, hey,
Speaker 4: we got it. Who's the guy they just drafted Jalen
Speaker 4: Carter Killer. Guess what, I'm putting it right here on
Speaker 4: prime time TV in front of everybody. I want you
Speaker 4: to take that name away from him, enjoy it relaship
Speaker 4: like drag over him type mindset. And so for him
Speaker 4: to do that, that's you're asking a lot for a
Speaker 4: rookie to do that. Now you're gonna have two guys
Speaker 4: in there taking up Jalen, then you they're gonna be
Speaker 4: dialing up these Blitzers.
Speaker 6: Brou and if you're dialing on Blitzeres, who you're leaving
Speaker 6: on the outside one on one? Who you leaving Gordon Ferguson. Also,
Speaker 6: if you also if this was week six or seven
Speaker 6: when guys is rolling, I'm with you one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: This is week one. We've seen it happen time and
Speaker 2: time again.
Speaker 6: People come out, Oh, this is the super Bowl champ
Speaker 6: this week one, you're getting all the kinks out. So
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna I'm not saying that Philly's not gonna
Speaker 6: be this great team, but off week one, I'm not
Speaker 6: gonna sit there and be like they just gonna be
Speaker 6: this juggernaut ready to roll right from the get go.
Speaker 6: And that's why I feel like Dallas got a slight chance.
Speaker 6: Everybody has a chance when you wake up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's facts. And I don't think it's gonna be
Speaker 2: a blood bath.
Speaker 4: I don't think it's gonna be a blood bath, but
Speaker 4: I think there's gonna just said it was. I think, Okay,
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. The score is not gonna be a bl
Speaker 4: up bath, but in those trenches I think that is
Speaker 4: going to be a blood bath that first week. That
Speaker 4: is a lot to ask for two unproving guys, too
Speaker 4: unproving guys, no starts to go in there and handle
Speaker 4: those guys like that. We're about to see if Dak
Speaker 4: is really in shape. We're about to see if this
Speaker 4: play action, run and all that stuff. First time, it's
Speaker 4: carter to guess what when he did?
Speaker 5: What happened if Philly has look and the coaching changes, Like,
Speaker 5: did Philly lose any any coordinators or anything?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they lost killing more. Okay, so we're gonna be
Speaker 2: so looking looking.
Speaker 3: The reason I asked that, what you know, you tried diverted,
Speaker 3: but you understand what happened.
Speaker 4: What happened.
Speaker 2: All understand what they're gonna do. Hey, get a ball.
Speaker 2: We all understand what happened? Do you This is like
Speaker 2: picking up man. I got said give it the ball sake.
Speaker 4: This is the funny.
Speaker 6: Nobody was saying that at the beginning of the season,
Speaker 6: saying what exactly what my man just talking about? Like
Speaker 6: I was over to say, go lead. It's always somebody,
Speaker 6: always somebody else.
Speaker 2: You can't give up credit credit about asking that was.
Speaker 5: To also like, maybe try to help your situation a
Speaker 5: little bit more.
Speaker 2: It's okay, okay.
Speaker 5: So we got new coordinator coming in Philly. Gotta get
Speaker 5: some kinks out as well. They got to learn a
Speaker 5: new offense, whatever the case may be, you know what
Speaker 5: I mean. So in that there may be some struggle,
Speaker 5: you know, first time running some everything with Vanilla, over
Speaker 5: the over the office, I mean, over the precinst they
Speaker 5: run the places first time like the cowboys are You're right, That's.
Speaker 4: What I'm saying.
Speaker 7: Man defensive staff question, don't show him a life. Don't
Speaker 7: do that. Don't show him a life. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Let's marinate on this.
Speaker 3: We'll do the show them all cloud two o'clock, same
Speaker 3: same bad time same bad place right here.
Speaker 2: So churches Churches, Church is about to roll.
Speaker 4: Up and put.
Speaker 2: Right now, I'm gonna boy, look at you, the hope coming.
Speaker 2: I ain't gonna say it's a dug. I got this
Speaker 2: as a but I'm not telling.
Speaker 6: You it's gonna be gonna be closing the boys thinking, man,
Speaker 6: we'll be closing.
Speaker 2: People think we got all pro quarterbacks back there, got
Speaker 2: all proper.
Speaker 4: Missus troll missus Church, please make sure that all the
Speaker 4: affairs in order of getting my friend committed so.
Speaker 2: Because there's no way he's in his right mind right now,
Speaker 2: but he's there.
