How about yourself? 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:48.600 This good? Also had a good try. You did. Went 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.080 to the opposite part of the country that you did. 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:54.080 I went to North Carolina as well. Opposite direction. Yeah, 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.000 I went west coast, you went east coast. What was 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.400 who was the biggest name you ran into? The biggest name, 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.040 the biggest name you ran into on Super Bowl because 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:03.960 you were you were on radio road for a little bit. 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:05.560 I met a lot of people. I was about to say, 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.840 you were bouncing around. Um Man, where can I start? 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:19.480 Um McNab, Brian Dawkins, Peanut Tillman, Warren Moon, Doug Williams, 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:27.000 Larry Fitzgerald. That's a good one, especially in Glendale. Yeah, Man, 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.400 a lot. I mean, I just it was everywhere. I 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.639 mean I went to a lot of former player events, 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:36.800 you know, career affairs, networking events, legends events like so 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:38.880 there was players all over the place. Man, But there was. 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.760 There was guys everywhere, and everybody was so happy to 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:43.760 see each other. You know, it's literally like a locker 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:45.880 room feeling. Even though you might not have shared locker 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.000 rooms with those guys, it was a locker room feeling. 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:50.720 I saw a lot of X teammates from all over 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:53.200 the place from my time here in Dallas from Seattle. 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:56.600 I took a number of cowboys photos of Lusaka, Polite, 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:02.239 m Evan Oglesby, Core Proctor. I mean, the list goes 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.080 on and on. There's just a bunch of Proctor was 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:05.840 going to be out there. Yeah, problem, that's my dog, 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:12.239 that dude. But I mean there's just Nate Jones, Courtney Brown, Yeah, 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.000 a lot of great now. Courtney Brown's doing referee to 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:18.720 Yeah he's been dragging him in. Yeah he's been. He's 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.560 been recruiting. So it's just awesome, man, to see everybody 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.920 in a positive light, everybody having a good time, no drama, 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:26.799 you know, it's just just it's just cool, man. It 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:29.520 looked like a lot of fun, and I liked you 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.200 even put it out on your socials that there were 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:35.720 resources available for four more players by the NFLPA. In 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.640 the NFL, I thought that was really really cool. Um, 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:41.080 it really opens the door. I know Barry Church went 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.240 out there too. Did you get to link up? But 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:44.800 when I trying to have a Barry, I think he 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:47.920 was like in on a mountain somewhere, not in Arizona. 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.720 I think he's in Colorado. He went to Aspen fast. 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.040 I can't keep up with Barry, you know. I think 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.560 he bounced to Arizona and then went to Aspen. I 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.440 know he was there. Was Shan Lee I saw, yeah, 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:02.200 but a lot of a lot a lot of dude man. Um. Yeah, 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.160 I mean, I mean I was really excited. I saw 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.280 DeMar Hamlin. That was pretty cool too. That's cool. He 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:10.400 was running around ray Lewis ty Law, I mean, everybody 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.720 that you can imagine was there. Everybody. That's awesome. Yeah, 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.840 really cool. We'll congrats on a fun trip. Let's talk 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.760 about what happened in that game. Okay, super Bowl won 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.559 by the Kansas City Chiefs, second one in four years 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.840 for Kansas City. One heck of a game, by the way. 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:26.800 Heck of a game. Yeah, no doubt. The ending was 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:31.719 a little anti climactic, sucked, but it was a big 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:36.120 time game. Yeah, what did you learn? Because there's there's 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.680 every year we talk about this, Yes, especially since the 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:42.440 Cowboys haven't been in the Super Bowl quite some time. 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.080 You talk about what did you learn from the teams 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:48.920 that made it, not even just the team that won it, 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:50.760 But you can learn just as much from the Eagles 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:52.880 about what they learned. And I know I have a 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.080 feeling that you're probably gonna bring up something that you've 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:58.279 actually been hitting since the off season in terms of 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:03.719 being aggressive in certain areas of your roster building, But 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:06.680 in terms of the execution of the game, was there 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:10.880 anything that stuck out? Andy Reid is Andy Reid. I mean, 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:14.200 he's He's a freaking dude. I hate the fact they're 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.479 talking about retirement for him. I hope that doesn't happen. 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:18.880 I don't see that. I don't see it happening anither. 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.360 But Andy Reid is a freaking Jedi when it comes 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:26.000 to offensive strategy. And I knew, I know, we were 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.160 making our projections and I picked the Eagles to win. 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:30.720 They had their chance. They didn't take care of it. 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:34.000 But the one factor that I that I was hesitant 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:35.480 on in terms of score and all that stuff, is 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.520 because any Reid, it's just he's just a factor that 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:39.640 you have to take into consideration. He is that he 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:43.440 is as much of a weapon as Mahomes, if not more, 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.440 simply because of the fact he knows how to skim 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:49.280 things up. Two of their two of their touchdowns were 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:53.320 walking touchdowns were because of Andy Reid and him understanding 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:58.000 the responsibilities of the defense when we do this, they 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:00.880 do this, so we're going to do this like he 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:02.720 just he just knows it right. So he's like the 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:04.560 perfect example. He was bringing his guys down a short 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:07.080 motion right the Kadarius Tony. We talked about that trade 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:09.479 and how that was major during the season when it happened, 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:11.760 were talking about it and he was gonna be huge 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:14.240 for them. He was so. But he brought down a 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.280 short motion and he knows when you go from a 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.640 wide split down to a short split into a bunch, 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:22.000 they bump over the coverage, they bump over the responsibilities 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:23.640 as soon those as soon as those guys point their 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.040 hand out, Darius Slay points his hand across. He knows 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.920 snapped the ball. Because he just passed off the responsibility. 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.320 We're gonna go right back out. Nobody's gonna be responsible 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:32.960 for you because the guy that's responsible for you is 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.480 on the inside now and it's man to man there. 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:38.520 So he did that multiple times and he's just it 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:40.680 just goes to his genius in terms of his preparation. 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:42.600 And you heard it after those guys won, What did 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:46.520 everybody say, freaking Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid Patrick Mahomes, 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:48.839 Andy Reid, Kelsey was loud about it, right, it's yelled 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:50.760 in front of mountaintops. And then on the under the 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:52.920 flip side, you know, Kelsey was Kelsey by the way 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:56.640 as well, per usual. He's a matchup nightmare. But did 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.640 you flip it to the other side? And I mean 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:01.960 Alan Hursts, I mean I noticed cowboys and we don't. 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:03.880 Most people don't like talking about, you know, success of 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:05.520 the Eagles, But I think you have to put some 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:07.600 respect on that dude's name. I really think you have 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:09.880 to put some success on some some respect on his name. 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:13.280 I think he proved a lot of doubters m wrong. 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:15.800 And I think regardless if you like him or not, 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:19.840 he earned everybody's respect. He earned my respect. He mean 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:21.120 this dude, I think you say he's twenty one to 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:24.840 twenty seven beamer. Um, you know one pass breakup, he 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:28.200 dropped some freaking dimes. And one thing that I that 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.720 I noticed, and I held it in a high regard. 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:34.960 I don't necessarily like it for Dallas, but those guys 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:38.640 who are just consistent on offense, they're just consistent. They 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.960 don't need the big plays. They just worked the ball 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:44.720 down the field, and I think that they are very 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.320 dangerous from that perspective. All the moves that they made 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.480 defensively didn't pan out for them in that game. Their 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.880 defensive line, as deep as they were, they didn't have 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:56.400 an impact on the game. You're talking Philadelphia, they did 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:57.840 not make an impact on the game. So that's where 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:00.080 they made a lot of their moveses in offseason and 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:03.000 in the season to bolster up that d line. It 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:05.240 didn't have an impact. They didn't get to Mahomes, they 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.600 didn't bother him back there in the backfield at least, 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.440 so but shout out to them. They made it there. 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.760 They had a chance. You know. You know, Dallas is 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:15.480 obviously hoping that they can do whatever they need to 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:18.360 do this offseason, whether that's an aggressive route or whether 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.400 that's Jerry Jones saying that he likes where he is 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.480 right there, right in the middle, and his statements, but 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:25.320 you know you'd like to see Dallas in that position 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:28.200 at least to have a chance at winning the Super Bowl. 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:31.960 So you bring up an interesting point because because of 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.840 Andy Reid and who he is as a play caller 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:38.280 and who he is as a coach, because yes, he's 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.800 in the all time great conversation now he has to 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:42.719 be because he's won a couple of Super Bowls and 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:46.400 he's done so in this fashion. I mean, outside of 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:50.400 Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey, where are the names for 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:55.679 Kansas City? Offensively? Where are they? Isaiah Pacheco was your 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:59.959 best running back? Ye Juju Smith Schuster outside of Travis Kelsey, 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:01.960 he was your guy. And I know that's a name, 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:04.719 but there's a reason he's not with Pittsburgh anymore. It's 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.400 because he was on the open market. Then he had Watson, 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:11.040 he had McKinnon, you had Gray, Tony sky Moore's a 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.680 draft pick. But for the most part, all of these 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:17.760 guys in a team that just won the Super Bowl, 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.000 not just had a chance to win it, but one it. 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:22.839 A lot of them are retreads or they're under the 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:27.320 radar guys. Why are they successful so they're successful? One 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:29.000 because of any read you brought that up. They're also 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:33.080 successful because they have an identity. Okay that the Kansas 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:36.280 City Chiefs have an identity, and their identity is speed. 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.560 Everybody under name one slow receiver. No, they're all fast. 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:42.319 They're all fast. You know who else? They've signed to 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:45.319 a futures contract this year, not to the maybe maybe 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:48.199 a month ago. John Ross, Oh, yeah, the one that 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:51.800 broke the Yeah, broke the forty record at the Combine. 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:53.520 They signed him to a futures record. He didn't work 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.840 out in Cincinnati, but guess where he will work out? Yeah, yeah, 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.439 Kansas City. So when you talk about an identity in 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.760 a culture, that they know who they are and it 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:04.640 doesn't matter what you've done in your past. If you 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.760 have a particular skill set that we acknowledge and we admire, 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.360 we're gonna utilize it. So that's why they weren't stressing 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:12.160 when heel was gone. They're like, yeah, we're gonna miss 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:14.720 his presents, but we got other dudes, and in our system, 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:18.240 we can make you successful. As long as you're willing, capable, 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:24.160 and you're fast. You start looking at other teams. Most 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:28.720 teams don't have an identity on either side. Of the ball. 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.360 Dallas has an identity on defensive side of the ball. 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:34.000 What's that get after it? Okay, you got guys on 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:35.920 a D line that can get and get after it, 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.120 fly to the ball, fly to the ball, fly around, 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:41.320 reckless abandonment. You got Fowler, you got you know, Sam 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:43.560 Williams A. You got all these guys that that's that's 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:45.640 an identity, right, you got some one guys that are 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:48.319 one on one, they're their matchup nightmares. They're gonna just 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:53.400 just relentless. Okay, that's your defensive identity. What's your offensive identity? 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.599 You lost it and you don't have it, So you 0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:01.160 have wasn't it before running? Okay, back when when Dallas, 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:03.880 when I feel like Dallas was unstoppable offensively, and you 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:05.720 can even go back to last year. He was about 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:07.559 to say, it probably take a couple years. It's gonna say, 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.840 you've been going into twenty twenty two, and of course 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:13.840 with the result that had happened, you you made the playoffs, 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.679 you got a playoff wins. Great, but you didn't have 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:19.280 an identity enough to make a push. And that's kind 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.600 of where I was leading. When is the last time 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:25.679 this offense had an identity when you had Fredericks Travis 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.920 Frederick yep. Okay, that's when you had an identity because 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:34.680 teams feared your offensive line. Teams feared your offensive line. 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.080 They knew that when they came against the Dallas Cowboys, 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:38.840 you're gonna have to deal with the running game getting tired. 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.600 You're gonna get Zach Man, and then you've got Travis 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.920 Coons all a day long, no matter what, no matter 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:46.600 what's going on in the game, you're gonna they gonna 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:48.199 Dallas is gonna do what turn around a hand the 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:50.640 ball off? That would get them out of trouble, right, 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:52.319 and then you could pass off of that, right. We 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:56.000 all we've talked relentlessly about Dak being a play action quarterback. Okay, 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:59.240 that's not a bad connotation when I say that, that's 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:01.400 just what he does best. He's best when he has 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:03.800 an established running game. You can say Patrick Mahomes is 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.960 probably best when he has a play action but he'll 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:10.000 also throw the ballot say, well, he only threw a 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.839 twenty seven, one, two and three touchdowns and he's a 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.400 super Bowl. But they're dangerous even more so now because 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.320 they have a running game, which is kind of scary, right, 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:21.160 they never necessarily had to have one. Now they actually 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:23.520 have one, and they're even more dangerous. Yeah, they had 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:25.679 a first round pick running back who was inactive on 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:29.679 game day and it doesn't matter. Jesus. Yeah, So Dallas 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:31.959 has to get back to and I can't speak on 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:33.920 names because guys are still well, actually some guys that 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:38.480 are free, but there's some free agents and some potentially 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:40.599 upcoming guys that are going to be released and be 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:45.599 free agents that are mudling retirement, but that are just 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:49.240 dog on goons up front. And I think I hope 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:51.680 I can go back to that word, hope. I hope 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:53.679 that Dallas is looking at them, because I think that 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:57.040 they have to get back to establishing an identity as 0:12:57.120 --> 0:13:00.520 an offense. Obviously you're making a change from killing regime 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:04.040 to the to the to why not just blank out 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.920 on coaches name. Jesus, you're talking about the shot him. No, 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:10.040 well yeah, you're shot Hyberbs McCarthy, McCarthy, McCarthy being a guy. 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:14.160 I almost called him Homeren Jesus, Wow, I know, Bay. Yeah, 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:18.679 but coach McCarthy, uh, their scheme, that's gonna be a 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:20.840 change enough, right, But now you have to look at 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:24.400 and say what can we rely on? And I don't 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:27.800 think Dallas has that right now. So that's something that 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.520 they have to go back and find and create that. 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.599 And I think the easiest way to get there is 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:39.040 by plugging two new offensive alignment into your offensive front. Goons, 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:42.120 though not just guys. I'm talking about spend the money. 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:45.079 If you're gonna spend the money this offseason, I know 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.160 everybody's gonna be looking for those big name free agents 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.880 that are skilled players and all that jazz, get some goal, 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:53.240 get the big nasties, spin on a freaking dog on 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:56.559 the defensive front, interior defensive alignment, and get two more 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:59.240 offensive alignment that are all pros. There have been all 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:02.760 pros in their career. Looking at free agent trackers, now, 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:05.199 I'm trying to find some some offensive lineman for you 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:10.439 to target. If that's the case where it's it's the 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:13.199 case of a missing identity, and you go out and 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:16.520 you build an identity, where do you think they would lean? 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:20.000 Do you think they would lean toward a run first only? 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:22.440 And go back to what they did back Like you said, 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:26.280 we're in twenty eighteen, twenty seventeen, they had that identity 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:29.760 of course twenty sixteen, they'd certainly did too. I would 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:31.840 argue the last time they had an identity and they 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.520 were certainly feared on offense was because of the weapons 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:38.440 that they had in early twenty one, first six weeks 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.960 of the year up until Dak had the calf injury 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:44.400 against against New England. That's where I would argue because 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:49.240 that was that was an unstoppable offense in a so 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:51.800 so defense that was just starting to find their footing 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:55.280 with dan Quinn. If they could have paired this year's 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:58.960 defense with the first six years of offense with the 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.480 weapons that you had, I think you would have been fine. 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.680 I still so I agree with you in regard that 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:07.760 that offense was dangerous. You go back to twenty one 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:10.160 defense feared, Yeah, they were, they were, They were feared 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:11.960 as an offense. But I still don't think that they 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:15.080 had an identity. Okay, it was an so like I 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:17.920 would say, it's just explosive. Yeah, they can kill you. 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:21.520 They can kill you with the big play, big play. Yeah. 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:24.240 But when I speak about identity, it's like, what do 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:26.840 we have to deal with? Like is it is it 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:29.760 gonna be dink and dunk all day long? Is it 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:31.440 gonna be like a Tom Brady where he's getting the 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:32.880 ball out of his hands and he's gonna, you know, 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:36.120 gonna be high efficient and you gotta tackle guys. Is 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:38.920 it gonna be? You know, but they're not gonna make mistakes? 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:41.680 Is it gonna be? They're gonna run the ball of 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:43.920 the gut all day long? Like what is it that 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:47.040 teams can expect to deal with when they face you? 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:49.320 And I don't know that Dallas has that? Now, the 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:51.000 defense had that in the first half of the year 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:53.680 when you just know, do not get in the passing situation? 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:57.040 Why because these dudes got they got too many guys right, 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:58.960 and they're gonna keep coming. They're gonna keep coming after you. 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:00.760 They're gonna make things hard for you as a quarterback. 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:05.160 Don't getting passing downs? That was identity on defense. Offensively, 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:10.120 feel like you're fishing. That doesn't mean that you're not 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:13.360 going to be successful, but being successful doesn't mean that 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:16.640 you necessarily have an established identity. Yeah, I see what 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:18.520 you're saying. Yeah, and I'm looking at some of the 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:22.800 offensive lineman now, Orlando Brown Junior, his market value right 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:25.080 now is like twenty two million, So that one's probably 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:27.720 if you're going this has been the money. Sure, but 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:32.200 that's a lot of money. Rodney Hudson, George Fan, Connor McGovern, 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:34.440 but not our Conor McGovern, the one from New York, 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:38.160 the Center, a couple other centers, I mean, Jason Kelsey, 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:43.320 he's probably he's talking about retirement. Justin Pugh, Matt pryor 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:50.960 cam Irving, you remember that name, m Austin Blythe Brandon Parker, 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.280 Nick Gates. That's that's pretty much your guys. And there's 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:55.720 some there's some more guys that are about to be 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:58.560 relieved of their contracts. Sure, they're gonna be cap casualties 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:00.280 and you can kind of work from there the pins 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.240 on it, but it's it's always tough. Maybe we could 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.240 just go sign a Nate Newton who just texted me. 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:07.159 That's awful. He said, nice to old lineman. So he 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:10.040 agrees with you. He wants he wants to offensive linemen. 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:12.160 There you go.
