Speaker 1: of the Cowboys, Danny McCray and Barry Church. Church. You

10
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: know you haven't told Danny and I if you've gone

11
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: back to Oklahoma anytime sooner. You've just been camping out

12
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: here in Texas. Man. Yeah, I'm sad to say I

13
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: have not been back to Oklahoma. You know, broken Boat.

14
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: It was a great experience while we were out there.

15
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: I just says, heat, man is. Heat is just getting

16
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: to me. Man, It's making me want to stay in

17
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: this act and chat with y'all all day. So, I mean,

18
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: I haven't been able to travel as much as I

19
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: like to. All Right, all right, So McCrae, my man,

20
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: I love people who want to talk about the Super

21
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: Bowl because the reason I love it is because when

22
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: they bring it up, when they talk about the Cowboys,

23
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: I always shooting down because I'm like, hey, look it's

24
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: been a minute. It's been a minute, okay. And I'm

25
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: one of those Danny that believes just go out win

26
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: your division and just keep on winning games, and then

27
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: you know, if you end up there, you end up there. Well,

28
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy was asked about that at his press conference today.

29
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: I want you to take a listen to what Mike

30
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: had to say about the Super Bowl. Danny. I want

31
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: to hear you comment on it, and Barry, I want

32
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: to get your thought to next. So let's hear from

33
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: new Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy. I think conversation like that, frankly, respectfully,

34
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: is nonsense. If you're not trying to win the Super Bowl,

35
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what to what you're even doing in

36
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: this business. I think that's what every team UM starts

37
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: their off season with. UM. The ones that don't want

38
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: to talk about it, they're you know, they're you know,

39
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: they're just probably trying to you know, what's under promise,

40
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: under promise, over overachieved but from the capital. I've always

41
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: been very upfront about it. Every team I've ever coached.

42
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: You know, we're in this to win a championship, make

43
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: no bones about it. Uh, the schedule is is what

44
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: it is. I'm a big fanas statement, but we're all

45
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: in a pandemic, all right. So that's Mike McCarthy. He

46
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: doesn't mind talking about Super Bowl expectations because he believes

47
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: that's why you're here. You're in the building to win

48
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: a championship. So Danny your thoughts. Yeah, I think that

49
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: was it was a good answer. I mean, he didn't

50
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: he didn't push all the chips in and say that

51
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: that make any guarantees and say that we're definitely going

52
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: to win the championship. But he knows why why he's here.

53
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: He was sitting on the sidelines figuring out ways to

54
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: come up with a better offense and a better scheme

55
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: so he can win another Super Bowl. And Jared saw that,

56
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: and Jared said, Hey, I'm bringing you in here specifically

57
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: for this reason. I told everyone that I will pay

58
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: anything for a Super Bowl. So when you come in here,

59
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: I want you to let everybody know this is the goal.

60
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: So I think it was a perfect answer, and that's

61
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,839
Speaker 1: what we're all expecting out of the Cowboys. I mean, look,

62
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: we all know, we all know when you you know,

63
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: you come coach for America's team and the Dallas Cowboys,

64
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: what the expectation is. The expectation is to get to

65
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, make super Bowl runs, plural super Bowl runs,

66
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: and I get to the playoffs at win divisions. But

67
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: we've all seen what happens when you count your chips

68
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: or you count you count your wins before you actually

69
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: went out there and got him. I mean the past

70
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: three four years, we've all been super Bowl champions on

71
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: paper and we've seen that come to folition none at all.

72
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: So I think you can get in a little bit

73
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: of trouble when you're already talking about you had the

74
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: goal to win a championship, and he should have started off.

75
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: I said, you know, the goals to win games, win

76
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: the division, win some playoffs, and then they you get

77
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. Because we all know what the

78
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: expectation is when you come here is to win super Bowls.

79
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: But you can't put all your eggs in the basket

80
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: at once. I mean, this team is just getting together

81
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: for the first time all year, and so I just think,

82
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: you know, talking about Super Bowl this early in the season.

83
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it's gotten in trouble in the past before.

84
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: As don't see want us to repeat what happened again

85
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: last year. Church. I want to stay with you because

86
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, you're playing on a team that went to

87
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship game. How to lead in the second

88
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: half against the Patriots. You don't win that game, and

89
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: then the next year there are a lot of people saying,

90
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: this year Jacksonville steps through, they go win the Super Bowl.

91
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: It did not happen, in fact, that jacks fell apart.

92
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: So you tell me what is that like from the

93
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: standpoint of having everyone talk about it to kind of

94
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: sneak it up on some folks. Well, I mean, like

95
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: you said, I mean I've witnessed it and I've been

96
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: a part of it firsthand. I mean, like you said,

97
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: winning in twenty seventeen year we went to the a

98
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: FC Championship, we had the number one defense in the NFL.

99
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: I mean, we were all coming back that next year,

100
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: so we felt like we already had it in the bag.

101
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: I mean we felt like we can destroy this division

102
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: and we'll end up meeting the Patriots to get into

103
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: playoffs and they got lucky and we'll destroy them. So

104
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: we already kind of thought, you know, we had this

105
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: season in the bag, and we started out pretty well.

106
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: I think we went, you know, three and one in

107
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: the first and then we met the Cowboys. I think

108
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: we were three and three at the time, and they

109
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: blew the hinges off of us, and we never were

110
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: able to kind of kind of get back to what

111
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: we wanted to be that season. So the expectations for

112
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: us were high, and I felt like we were kind

113
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: of feeling ourselves going into that season, and it wrecked

114
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: our season. I mean, and it started at the top

115
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: the leadership, myself, you know, Calais, all those guys at

116
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: the time, we kind of you know, felt ourselves. We

117
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: felt like, you know, we had a great defense and

118
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: we could take over this league like we did last year.

119
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: And you gotta change each and you gotta evolve each

120
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: and every year. So hopefully the Cowboys were able to

121
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: do that. They're able to evolve from that from what

122
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: they did last year and make some little quick, tweak

123
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: changes to the offense and defense because people were gonna

124
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: pick up on what they did last year. Especially these

125
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: defense and offensive coordinators, they watch film like everybody else,

126
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 1: so they'll be able to pick apart what the strength

127
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: of weaknesses are. So you just gotta change up a

128
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: little bit. But I'm you know, I'm excited to see

129
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: what McCarthy has in store for us this year. All right,

130
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: let's go from super Bowl talk here on the players

131
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: lounge talking about the one thing that you have to

132
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: have if you're going to be a super Bowl team,

133
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: and that's some defense. Here. The Cowboys have won five championships,

134
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: and when you look at the five championship teams, defense

135
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: has been a big part of why they were able

136
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: to get there. I was excited about Gerald McCoy being

137
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: a part of the Cowboys defensive line, of defensive tackle

138
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: getting bigger. Gerald McCoy this week ends up tearing his quad.

139
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: They cut him. He's not on the team anymore. So

140
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: just that whole trying to fill it. Danny, you start

141
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: with this here, what's your concern? My concern is the

142
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: same as it's ben for for all the teams and

143
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: especially us without having a true season and having to

144
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: worry about guys going down like this. I've seen the

145
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: video of it, and it was just a you know,

146
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: just a normal play of normal drill that they were

147
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: going through and he goes down and you're you know,

148
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: and you and your first thought is this is what

149
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: we're talking about, right, those soft tissue injuries for guys

150
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: who haven't been able to get into that real football shape.

151
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: These things that happened. So for us, I just think

152
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: that we need to make sure that we have some depth.

153
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: So good thing we have Poe, we have Crawford, but

154
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: I don't think we can sustain many more of these injuries.

155
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: So we just need to make sure that we're able

156
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: to stay healthy because we expect the big things out

157
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,239
Speaker 1: of McCoy and now he is a big hold of fields.

158
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: So some of those young guys like Tristan Hill they said,

159
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: are having good practices. He's gonna have to step up

160
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: in real game time and make some big time play. Yeah.

161
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,119
Speaker 1: I believe that McCoy injury was hurt to the depth

162
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: more than anything. With the Cowboys, we know defensively, offensively

163
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: as well, they're talented and mentally across the board. So

164
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: when you lose a guy like McCoy, that hurts your death.

165
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: Because he was supposed to be out to go out

166
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: there and be a starter, and not only a starter,

167
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: but a leader out there for this defense. Um, there's

168
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: a lot of young parts to this defense and just

169
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,239
Speaker 1: having a guy like that that can lead your defense

170
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: into valliation every Sunday would have been amazing. M So

171
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: for him going down that way, it's just gonna have

172
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: to force, like McCray said, it's gonna have to force

173
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: younger guys like Tristan Hill to step up. And last year,

174
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: we know he was in the doghouse. Mary Ellie didn't

175
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: really want to play him that much. But hopefully he's able,

176
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: he's able to mature a little bit more and grow

177
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: a little bit more in this offseason and he'll be

178
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 1: able to step up in McCoy's absence because the Cowboys

179
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: are gonna need that. I mean, they're gonna need him

180
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: to step up hopefully. I mean, the reports of all

181
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 1: the smith out there are off the charts, so hopefully

182
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: he can step up as well. But if you if

183
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: you can generate a great pass rush and you can

184
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: stop the run with that front four, I mean, it

185
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 1: makes a job so much easier for the secondary and

186
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: the rest of the defense. So we're gonna have to

187
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: have someone step up in the place for McCoy, and

188
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: I believe that's gonna have to be Tristan Hill, so

189
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: hopefully he's up for the task. Okay, let's this is

190
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: why you two guys. I love having you on the show.

191
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: I love to because you've been in the locker room.

192
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 1: You understand exactly what has to happen. So I don't

193
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: start with you on this one. Danny who gets to

194
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: Tristan Hill to talk to him about how he is

195
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: needed that. You know the reports last year he fell

196
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: asleep when they had guest speaker Isaiah Thomas come around

197
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: that he was in that dog house with Rod Marinelli,

198
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: that he wasn't taking football as seriously as they needed

199
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: him to be. Who's the person in the room or

200
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: persons who talk to him and let him know, Hey, man,

201
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: you gotta grow up. We need you now. I'll tell

202
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: you this, man, I'm I'm gonna give I'm gonna give

203
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: him a little slack for last year because he went

204
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: through some of those normal rookie things that I've seen

205
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: a lot of rookie guys go through. In that first year.

206
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: It's a whole different playing field. You got a lot

207
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: of money. There's a lot of stuff on. Uh. You know,

208
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: you finally reach celebrity status right in the town like Dallas,

209
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: so it's easy to get lost in that. I think

210
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: he was able to refocus himself and the things I'm

211
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: hearing about him so far have been great. And I

212
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: think having Tyron Crawford in there in that in that

213
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: room is a big thing because I think they missed

214
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: his leadership last year when he was hurt, and I

215
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: think he's bringing that to Tristan Hill this year, and

216
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: I think you'll see a great improvement from him just

217
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: by having Crawford around. Yeah, they're gonna need a great

218
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: improvement from Tristan Hill. I mean, like you said, last year,

219
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: he was going through those you know, rookie struggles a

220
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: little bit here and there. But guys like Crawford, guys

221
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: like Sean Lee, guys like you know, DeMarcus Lawrence, they're

222
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: gonna have to get in this guy's ear and they're

223
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: gonna have to show him how to be a professional.

224
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: I mean falling asleep in meetings, like mccraie said, We've

225
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: seen that in the past. But it's it's your turn

226
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: to step up and be that focal point or that

227
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: be that you know kind of focal point. Like I said,

228
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: on the defensive line, you're gonna have to generate pressure

229
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: and production that was lost from McCoy. So hopefully those

230
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: veteran guys in the locker room can get with him,

231
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: show him how to break down tape, show him how

232
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: to be more professional when it comes to playing in

233
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: this league, because if not, you'll be out of this

234
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: league quick. I mean, you know it stands for NFL,

235
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: not for long. So hopefully those guys can you know,

236
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: get in his ear, get him going in the right direction.

237
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: And so far this camp, we've heard some good reports

238
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: about what he's been able to do. So hopefully that

239
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: can keep going. And because they're not gonna need him,

240
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna need that depth piece for this defensive line.

241
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: And look at it. I'll tell you this, the reports

242
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: coming out about him are much better than reports that

243
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 1: that came out about Taco. So I got some faith.

244
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 1: I got some faith in Tristan to making them prove

245
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: it this year because that they not for the longest

246
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: true man church. They got him about his send him

247
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: to Miami Man. They got him quick first round first

248
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: rounder as well, if you if you don't produce what

249
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 1: a new coach is there, yeah, you're not safe. So

250
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: I think I think he's woke, and I think he's

251
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: gonna be able to get some stuff done because he

252
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: has a perfect example of what happened if he doesn't.

253
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: And then Miami got rid of Taco Charlton. He's now

254
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: out there in Kansas City. And for me, when I

255
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: look at Tristan Hill, I think of just here's an opportunity.

256
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a job that you can have

257
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: and be a part of a defense here that if

258
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: Everson Griffin and Olden Smith and Tank Lords are the

259
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: players we think they can be and have the kind

260
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: of seasons we do, Triston Hill's gonna have an excellent

261
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: opportunity to make a name for himself. And you guys know,

262
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: if you can get in this league, if you can

263
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: put some pressure on the quarterback, they'll write you a really, really,

264
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: really big check. So hopefully he can see that working

265
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: with Jim tom Sula, maybe that'll change will be better

266
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: for him. He's still gonna be working with Leon Let,

267
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: but there's an opportunity for this young man can make

268
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 1: some good money in the National Football League. So it's

269
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: a great opportunity. I mean, like you said, with all

270
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: those guys on the defensive line, I'm pretty I'm ninety

271
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: percent confident that teams aren't going to be out there

272
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: trying to double Triston Hill. So if he's able to

273
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: go out there and defeat one on one blocks consistently,

274
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: like you said, he can make a name for himself

275
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: in this game. But he's gonna have to put the

276
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: work in and hopefully he's been doing it this offseason

277
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: and so far this camp, it sounds like he's been

278
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 1: doing him all right. Danny wanted to get into this

279
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: one with you being because you guys are both dbs.

280
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: But but Cheeto Awosier spoke about that Cowboys scheme now

281
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: under Mike Nolan, and the thing that I keep getting

282
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: from players like Cheeto is man, this is a welcome

283
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 1: change and we're not going to be predictable. Yeah, it's

284
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: it's it's it's huge. Like we talked about last week,

285
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: just to put this into perspective, if you're playing a

286
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: guy like Tom Brady and you line up in the

287
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: Cover two shell and then you play Cover two, it's

288
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: an issue. If you line up in the cover two

289
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: shell and you just always drop down to cover three.

290
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: He knows that it's an issue. He's going to find

291
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: a weakness. So you have to be able to disguise

292
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: presnap and post snap. So with Nolan being able to

293
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: do that, these guys are feel more confident that the quarterback,

294
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: especially the smart ones in the veteran was they don't

295
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: already know what defense you're in and know where they

296
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: should go with the ball, right, they want to make

297
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: them think that the extra extra half a second longer

298
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: so that defensive line to have a chance to get

299
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: there and make that sack so they can get those

300
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: tips and overthrows. So I think it's huge and it's

301
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: gonna give the dv is a lot of confidence because

302
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: they know that that that that pass rush will have

303
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: a little bit more time to get there just based

304
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: off their pre and posting that disguises. Yeah, disguise will

305
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: be huge coming up for this season. I mean, no

306
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: no disrespect or anything to coach Marinelli in his system,

307
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: but I believe it was kind of vanilla when it

308
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: comes when it came to disguising. I mean everything was

309
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: pretty much out of that two shell. Now it can

310
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: work against you know, younger quarterbacks and quarterbacks who haven't

311
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: really seen that much defense. But when you're going against

312
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: the you know, the Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady's of

313
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: the world will pretty much dissect that defense because they

314
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: know pretty much one of the safeties are gonna come

315
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: down into the box. So, UM, disguising your defenses um

316
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: pre snap can basically that you're you're winning half of

317
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: the battle if you can get your quarterback to not

318
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: know what defense is in pre snap. So Chito was

319
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: right about that having multiple looks and multiple schemes will

320
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: help this defensive lot and the prayer. You were also

321
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: right when it comes to the defensive line. If if

322
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: they're not producing and be one on one blocks like

323
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: we think they will be able to this season. Um,

324
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: this guy that defense and having that quarterback just hold

325
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: the ball of extra tick, just hold the ball at

326
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: extra second, make him pat and make him look around

327
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: through all his reads. Giving that defensive line extra time

328
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: to come in there and create havoc, which we know

329
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: they can will be huge for this defense. So going forward,

330
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: if they can keep this disguise, going to keep this

331
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: multiple defensive looks going to confuse quarterbacks giving their secondary

332
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: more time back there, or giving their defensive line more

333
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: time to get to the backfield. It will be immensely

334
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: huged for this defense, and we'll see what happens when

335
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: the season creates around Barry. It's no disrespect to Rob Merriley.

336
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: This is just the truth. Guys knew what was coming.

337
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: And the Jet game, to me, was the biggest indictment

338
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: on why this defense needed to change, because Sam Darnold

339
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: had been out a month with Mono and the Jets

340
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: were just going in different quarterbacks and they had problems.

341
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: They here comes Sam one month out and steps onto

342
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: the field that MetLife Stadium against the Cowboys and had

343
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: a fantastic game. And then after said, well it's the Cowboys.

344
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: We kind of know what they do, which in his

345
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: way was dude, it wasn't hard. We figured it out.

346
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: And then we saw Mitchell Trubisky on that Thursday night

347
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: with Chicago and he looked like a real quarterback. I mean,

348
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: we just so songs, but I just said, man, this

349
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: thing has to change, and I'm just happy to see

350
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: that they got Mike Nolan here and they're going to

351
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: make some changes. And you clearly hear the players who

352
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: respect rod Man because that's the thing. Everybody respects him.

353
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: But your stuff can't get old, and his stuff had

354
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: gotten old and they needed to change here. And to me,

355
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: I'll be interested to see is Cheeto a better player

356
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: now under this scheme here? Because look, here's a kid

357
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: in his last year, Barry, who took a whole lot

358
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: of hits throughout his career. What if he turns out

359
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: and becomes a better player. We have seen players leave

360
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: and go to different schemes and coaches who utilize him better. Yeah,

361
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: we've definitely seen that. I mean case in point with

362
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: Malcolm Jenkins with the Saints. He was rated as one

363
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: of the worst, say he's coming out a free agency

364
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: when he was with the Saints, but then when he

365
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: got to the Eagles, he pretty much turned his whole

366
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 1: career around. And we've seen he's still in the NFL

367
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: playing at a high level. So there's been examples of

368
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: this in the past where corners, you know, have struggled

369
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: in one system but then turn around the turn around

370
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: their whole career in another system. Patrick Chunk, that's another

371
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 1: one of the guys who went to Philadelphia and was

372
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: terrible and then went to New England and played awesome.

373
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: So it's definitely possible for Cheeta to turn his season

374
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: around like he did. You know, last year was kind

375
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 1: of a rough season for him, so it's it's an

376
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: ability to make this season a lot better by changing

377
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: these multiple looks and have him out there doing what

378
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: he can do. So hopefully he's able to turn around

379
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: this year and become a better corner and we'll see

380
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: if that scheme helps in Church, you know, like I

381
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: don't know that. You know, like up in Seattle, they

382
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: had guys who could who were superstars, Hall of Fame players,

383
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: and they could line up and cover through the cover

384
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: too and play that defense and still make plays. When

385
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: you try to bring that to the team and as

386
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: young guys and have that those caliber of players, it's

387
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: a totally different thing, right. So you got Cam Chancellor,

388
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: you got Earl Thomas, you got Richard Sherman. Those guys

389
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: can make plays in any scheme. They're lined up and

390
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 1: show you what they're in and they can get out

391
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: there and go make plays. When you try to bring

392
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: that defense to a whole different team with new guys

393
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: and young guys and guys that don't have that type

394
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: of talent or that type of experience. That's where you

395
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: get in trouble. Like maryon Elli and Christian Shard. Did

396
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: you try to line up and act like you got

397
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: those guys that you had in Seattle and it just

398
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: you don't get the same result. Yeah, Earl Thomas did

399
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: not walk through that door at all, So it was

400
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 1: definitely an issue. We need to take a prank. But

401
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: still to come here on the players lands, let's dive

402
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: a little bit into hard knocks because the Rams and

403
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: the Chargers are there. The Cowboys are going to face

404
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: the Rams first game of the year, that's supposed to

405
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: be out of so Far Stadium in Inglewood, California. And

406
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: also John Fossil was some interesting takes on why he

407
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 1: has sold on Greg Zerline, who did not have a

408
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: good year with the Rams last year, why he thinks

409
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: to have very good season for the Cowboys. That's to

410
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,680

448
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: this twenty twenty season which is still on pace to

449
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: just go forward. Here. I was watching Hard Knocks, and

450
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: I enjoy the show whenever it's not the Cowboys. When

451
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: they come here twice, I've hated every minute of it

452
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: because NFL Films they get all this carte blunt stuff

453
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 1: that we in the local media don't get. So this

454
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: year it's the Rams and it's the Chargers. They've combined

455
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: them both. And so one cool thing about watching the

456
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: Charges is Anthony lenn former coach here with the Dallas

457
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys under Bill Parcel's getting his opportunity. And then um,

458
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,719
Speaker 1: one reason why I'm very interesting the Rams is that's

459
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: the cowboys first opponent. And Barry, your former teammate in Jacksonville,

460
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey is with He's with the Rams. Now I

461
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: got himself trade it there says he loves la. He

462
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: went house hunting, and he went house hunting on a place.

463
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: It was about thirty plus acres of whatever. I mean

464
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: this It was a mansion, Okay, it was a mansion

465
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 1: on top of a hill all by itself. Your thoughts

466
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: on that crib he was looking at And do you

467
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: know if he bought it? Did you text him? No?

468
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if he bought the house or not.

469
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: But I mean, Looyd, it was it was a palatial

470
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: estate sitting on top of I mean it was a nice,

471
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: very very beautiful home. But I mean knowing Ramsey the

472
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: way I do. Um, you know, he loves, he liked

473
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: to find the things in life, and um, you know

474
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: he's worked his butt off to try to get those things.

475
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: So in his mind he's thinking, hey, I gotta pay

476
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: They coming here soon. If all I gotta do is

477
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: stay healthy and play productive like I have been these

478
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: past couple of seasons, and I can be able to

479
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: afford to get something like this. But I can see

480
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: him definitely grabbing that mansion. He's definitely and he's a

481
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: he's a LA guy when it comes to that. The

482
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: perfect team he could have went to. He's kind of Hollywood,

483
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: but that's just his character. He's genuine and I can

484
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 1: see him living in that house. I mean it was

485
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: a palatial estate up there. Man who was that real

486
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: estate agent? Man, they did some research on the dude.

487
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 1: They had everything that he ever thought of it. They

488
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: had everything he needed. I mean the pictures of his kid,

489
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: this picture of his kids there. I mean that was

490
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: you know that probably just looking at it, that probably

491
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: cost twelve hundred bucks to stage all of that specifically

492
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: for him. The way they had that thing lined up

493
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: and which and it made me think of how much money,

494
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: how much of a commission. Is this real estate agent

495
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: possibly going to get off this home if you're spending

496
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 1: that kind of the stage of that hole. I mean,

497
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: they did their research, they had their kids pictures in there.

498
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: I mean, they're trying to get this sold as soon

499
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: as possible. I mean, they did all their research on them.

500
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: And again I mean he's like I guess, he's a

501
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,959
Speaker 1: high profile client. So they spent the money to hopefully

502
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: get the money. You know what I'm saying, Well, look

503
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: they do. This is going to be on TV two,

504
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 1: so they got they got some free pub on HBO

505
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: for that. This is true. This is true. Now for me,

506
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: the big thing I wanted to know is, Okay, where

507
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: was the home in proximity to where they practice, where

508
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: the practice facility is going to be, because you guys

509
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: know just right here, you know, living in Dallas, for words,

510
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: when you played for the Cowboys, where are you guys

511
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: live by the practice facility. They don't live by the stadium.

512
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 1: The stadium is over by Lax in the Englewood area.

513
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: But the practice facility and plusting because the Rams have

514
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: been building it and working on it, because the stadium

515
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: is not done. So that to me, it's going to

516
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: be the interesting thing, because LA traffic is no joke.

517
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it is a challenge of it. Here here's

518
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: how much of a challenge of it is. Kobe Bryant,

519
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 1: who lived in Orange County, took a helicopter to go

520
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 1: to games. I mean, you got to make sure you

521
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: live in an area that's close by, or you could

522
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: be looking at a a two to two and a

523
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: half hour commute just to get work. I mean, and

524
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 1: that was the mistake I made. Well, not really, because

525
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:05,719
Speaker 1: you know how I first played for the Cowboys. They

526
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: were in Valley Ranch, so I lived in Los Clenas.

527
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: But then that last year they decided to move over

528
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: to Frisco and to the Star. So my commute in

529
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 1: the morning was it was a good forty minutes, and

530
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: you know, I liked my sleep, so I had to

531
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: get up extremely early. And so that's one of the things,

532
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 1: you know, a mistake I made. Make sure you live

533
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 1: near the facility, because yeah, you might find nicer houses elsewhere,

534
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: but that commute in the morning, when you're tired and

535
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: you know you got to go to a full padded practice,

536
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: it's just not it. It's not worth it. Add that

537
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: in there because I know a lot of coaches who

538
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: used to live in the South Lake area. Guys like

539
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: Sean Payton lived over there, Brian Stewart lived over there,

540
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: Todd lived over there. So a bunch of guys lived

541
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: in that area. And now no one lives in that

542
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: area because of what you spoke about the Star over

543
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: in Frisco, guys, guys gonna live by the headquarters. So

544
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: now guys they live over in Frisco and McKinney they

545
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: live Oh that's they live in College County. Nobody lives

546
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: over in Tarrant County anymore. Um, it's just a big

547
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: difference in that. Jason Witten had struggled with that because

548
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: he lives out He lived out over in that area

549
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: and it was a challenge to get there to the

550
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: Star of Frisco, and then you got to pay all

551
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: those tolls. So, um, it matters, so so so it's

552
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: something you definitely have to look out for. Mccraig. When

553
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: you're looking at hard knocks, do you try to what

554
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: do you try to pick up on as you think

555
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: there could be some clues for the Cowboys as they

556
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: get ready to face these rams on the first game

557
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: of the year. They're not these episodes, the first two episodes,

558
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 1: they're not hitting at all. Yeah, I'm not gonna lie

559
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: to you know. He like when when I used when

560
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 1: I used to watch it, would I would potentially like

561
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: trying to look for some stuff that maybe they would run.

562
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: But HBL doesn't show much of schemes and in terminology

563
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,239
Speaker 1: and talking and showing you, like what what they may

564
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: be running. When the season comes, you could get a

565
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: look at some players, but most of the time they're

566
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: showing star players are they're showing rookies who are the

567
00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: bubble trying to make the team. So you really just

568
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: don't get much out of out of the HBO Hard

569
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: Knock Show from a from a scouting perspective, But I

570
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 1: think it's always interesting to see how the stars live

571
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: their lives and then how how you can tell how

572
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: different that is from guys who are trying to make

573
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: the team. As rookies are our second year of players

574
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: who are fighting for a roster spot. Aaron Donald looks good.

575
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: Gott admit that man, that guy looks really good. He

576
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: does not look he does not look like a defensive lineman. No,

577
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 1: he does not not at all. How do you guys

578
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: think the Rams are gonna be when you consider the

579
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: fact that, you know, they got rid of Todd Gurry,

580
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: they got rid of Brandon Cooks. Um, the offensive line

581
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: still has some question marks here. This is not the

582
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: team that went to the Super Bowl two years ago.

583
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: It's a totally different football team. And the last time

584
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: we all saw the Rams, they came to at and

585
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 1: t staking and the Cowboys laid it on. Yeah. I

586
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: think I think his Rams team's gonna gonna struggle a

587
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: little bit this year. Um, Like you said, they lost

588
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley. Um, you know they lost Brandon Cooks, who

589
00:27:58,119 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: was a deep threat. Yeah, he missed a lot of games,

590
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 1: but he was able to take the top off a defense.

591
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: So a second day was always going to have to

592
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: kind of key on him to make sure they didn't

593
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 1: get past them. Yeah, they got Robert Woods over there

594
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: and Cooper Cup, but those are kind of the They're

595
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 1: more intermediate route runners, possession type receivers. I don't see

596
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: them going over the top as much. Defensively, I feel

597
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: like they have a pretty solid defense over there and

598
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: that can present some problems for teams. But offensively, I

599
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 1: just don't think they have any juice this year, and

600
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: I think that first game coming up to the season,

601
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: I think the college are gonna put it on a

602
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: pretty well yeah, I got I got the rounds fighting

603
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: for fighting really hard for third place in the division.

604
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: With Arizona Jared Golfing still in the quarterback they lost

605
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: a deep third even though he was hurt last year.

606
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: He was a guy who could stretch the field, so

607
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: they don't really have that. They depended on Robert Woods

608
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: but the back half of the season, and you know,

609
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: he's a jet sweet guy, like like Church said, and

610
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: Cup is a guy who can make some explosive plays,

611
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: but not as consistent as its stretching the field as

612
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: a Brandon Cook. So with golfers and quarterback, you don't

613
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: have the same running back and now you're down down

614
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: your deep thread at receiver. I just think they're gonna struggle.

615
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: And then you got teams like Arizona coming up in

616
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: Seattle is always who they are, and then San Francisco

617
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: just came up a Super Bowl run, So I think

618
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: they're going to be fighting for for third uh in

619
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: that division. So so you say golf the way you

620
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: said golf twice, you didn't go all the way, which

621
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: is you're not impressed with him, You're you're not sold

622
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: on impressed sold I told you he was on my

623
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: fast football team lecture. I lost all hope that Jared Goff.

624
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: He's bounding right now with Kylin Murray. He's battling with

625
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: Kylin Murray. And I think Kylin Murray is the federal player.

626
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: I just didn't want to give give them all that,

627
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: you know before the season started. But I honestly see

628
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: Jared Goff then the fourth best quarterback in that division. Okay,

629
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: so so let me go with you. There is Jared

630
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: Golf a system quarterback in your opinion, And when you

631
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: say system quarterback, your your mindset thinks of kind of

632
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: like Texas Tech through the years, where it's you got

633
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: to have all these other pieces around. If it's really

634
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: something something you could put on the quarterback, I wouldn't

635
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: say I wouldn't say system. I would say he's a

636
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: front running quarterback. Right. So he was bawling when they

637
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: had tied Gurley and all those guys who could make

638
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: those plays around them. But the running game was crazy, right.

639
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: He was getting crazy yards on screens from Fid Gurley,

640
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: Tire Gurley run up the middle for ten yards, tied

641
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: Gurley green screen for four of yards, and that opened

642
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: up a lot of stuff. So I don't think it

643
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: was necessarily him just having a whole bunch of pieces

644
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: around him. He had tied Gurley to help him out

645
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: and say for me, oh, go ahead, go ahead, and

646
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: now he go ahead. I'm sorry, no, no no, no, no, no, Church.

647
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: I want to hear what you have to say for me. Yeah,

648
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: without a question, I think he's a system quarterback. I

649
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: don't think it's you know, he's terrible or anything like that.

650
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: I just think he's a bona fire system quarterback. I

651
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: think he needs places around him, you know, receiver, is

652
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: a good officive, line, and running back to get the

653
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: most potential. Put it this way, I feel like he

654
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: can't elevate the rest of his teammates. I feel like

655
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: if he has subpark As on the outside and a

656
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: decent running game, I think he'll just be a decent quarterback.

657
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: But he needs other pieces around him to elevate his game.

658
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: I don't think he's able to elevate those around him

659
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: like a Tom Brady would be able to. I go

660
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: back and I look at the last two super Bowls

661
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: in which you had NFC teams from the west of

662
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers and the Rams, and the question

663
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: mark you had about both quarterbacks Jimmy Garoppolo and Jared

664
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: Goff got exposed in that Super Bowl, which is can

665
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: your guy make a play when you need it? We

666
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: saw Jared Goff missing open Brandon Cooks in the end

667
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: zone in a close football game against the Patriots. That

668
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: was the deciding factor for them. And then we saw

669
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: Garoppolo who had a wide open Emmanuel Sanders running free.

670
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: If he hits Sanders, they probably win the Super Bowl.

671
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: And when your guys don't answer the bell when they

672
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: have that, you know, when they have a strong running

673
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: game and they're asking you, hey, we just need you

674
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: to make that throw. He couldn't make it. And for me,

675
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: I look at a guy like Troy Aitman who was

676
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: always is able to make that throw and win three

677
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: Super Bowls. That's what you're needing from your quarterback. And

678
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: to me, until those questions are answered, I do have

679
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: to wonder are they system quarterbacks then? Because I believe

680
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: Sean mcvayh and Kyle Sanahan can go find another guy comparable.

681
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: Ala Kirk cousins and put up numbers and win with

682
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: those kind of guys because both guys are relying upon

683
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: run games. When you see them have their success. Yeah,

684
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: you got in search, you gotta go ahead, Then you

685
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: go ahead. Yeah, I'm just not so there's nothing that

686
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: you can tell me about that. Look, look, I agree

687
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: with I agree with you. I agree with you. I

688
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: think that. Look, okay, can we just I'm just just

689
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: straight up being honest here. I think they overpay golf.

690
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: I think they overpay cooks. And as much as I

691
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: love Todd Gurley the player, I would not have given

692
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: a guy who had that type of injury a second

693
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: contract like they did. Had they all waited, had they

694
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: waited just one year, okay, just one year on all

695
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: those guys because they didn't have to pay him when

696
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: they did. Had they waited one more year, they would

697
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: have never paid those guys. So the players should be

698
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: thinking their agents if they got those deals. The only

699
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: guy that I would have waited to pay, And you

700
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: know a hindsight is twenty twenty. It's golf like I

701
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: didn't believe in when we saw him in the Super Bowl.

702
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,719
Speaker 1: You didn't believe in golf, Like, Yeah, everything was clicking

703
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: that year. But like I said, it was all based

704
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: on Tied Gurley, so I could see a reason for them,

705
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: you know, paying Tied Gurley, you know, with the injury,

706
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: but you just assumed that that it wouldn't it wouldn't

707
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: haggle him for the rest of his career. But Jared Golf, no,

708
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: and Brandon Cooks had just come over from another team,

709
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: so yeah, you could wait on him as well. But

710
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: Jared Golf should have been third on that list. The

711
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: should they should have took the Cowboys route and paying

712
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: the quarterback less and Golf had I think he had

713
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: two more years left on his deal when he got

714
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: that extension, So it's like, you know, I like, like

715
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: you got should I just I'm you know, I'm confused.

716
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: Would have just waited one more year, they would have

717
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: not you know, paid him. They would have sawd the

718
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: type of production he is, and like I said, I

719
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: believe he's a system quarterback, so they would have used

720
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: that money to put better pieces around him. But you know,

721
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: they pulled the trigger fast, and a lot of those

722
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 1: contracts that they pulled the trigger fast on and have

723
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: not worked out for him. I believe the only one

724
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 1: was you know Aaron Donald, So, um, you know they

725
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,479
Speaker 1: they gotta look at themselves and say, hey, we gotta

726
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,439
Speaker 1: we gotta figure this thing out or or we're gonna

727
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: be rebuilding this team from the start all over again.

728
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: They don't have any first round picks exactly. Chucked it

729
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 1: up exactly, so they're out of a lot of picks.

730
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: And see to me, I think for instance, and it

731
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: won't happen because they've got Golf on the contract and

732
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 1: you can't take that hit. But you could have let

733
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 1: Golf run out of that contract and then given a

734
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: guy like Sean McBay Andy Dalton, and Sean McBay would

735
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: have still been able to do all the things he

736
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: wants to in his system. Um. I just think that

737
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: Sean is able and Kyle as well. They're able to

738
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: win with different types of players. They'll put things around him.

739
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: And you've seen Kyle has success with Matt Ryan. I mean,

740
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,879
Speaker 1: he's he knows how to scheme. He's an elite coach.

741
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: They got an elite coach play caller. They can scheme

742
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: some things up for their quarterback. There what a touch

743
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: on a former Ram who's now a Dallas cowboy and

744
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: that is kicker Greg Zerline. John Fossil, the Cowboys new

745
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: special teams coach who was with him for a lot

746
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: of years with the Rams in Saint Louis and in

747
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. He told the media this week that Zerline

748
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: dealt with a groin injury basically most of the season

749
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: last year, and all three of us play fantasy football,

750
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: and Greg Zurline was not a dude you want it

751
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 1: last year and now we know why. And Fossil said

752
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: one reason why they he played injury was he was

753
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: in a contract year, so he didn't want to go

754
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: on ir. I get that he still got a great

755
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: contract from the Cowboys, but he said that Zerline is

756
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 1: going to have a good year. So when fantasy football

757
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: drafts mine come around here next month, I might I

758
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 1: might go ahead and pull the trigger on Greg the

759
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: leg here because he's gonna be kicking a lot of

760
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: balls indoors over here at a ten team stadium. So

761
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to have a big year. Yeah, I'm

762
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: looking for him as well to have all go ahead. Damn,

763
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: So I keep cutting you off now, you're good saying listen,

764
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: mind is short. If the office plays how everybody expects

765
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: them to blame. We're scoring all these touchdowns. Gregg's areline

766
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: will only be kicking extra points, so he won't be

767
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,720
Speaker 1: getting picked on my fantasy team. You know what, I'm

768
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: a I'm good towards Neui and I'm gonna go ahead

769
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 1: and pick up Greg as well once we do our draft,

770
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: because I mean, from all the reports from camp, I mean,

771
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: he's nailing stuff from all over the field. And we've

772
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: seen the Cowboys in the past sometimes, you know, when

773
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: it comes to the red zone, you know, we don't

774
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: necessarily knock it in all the time. So to have

775
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: a consistent kicker like that, and like we did towards

776
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 1: the end of the season last year, really helped us out.

777
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: But to have him consistently kicking good throughout the whole year,

778
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: I think it'll be a plus for the Cowboys and

779
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: definitely a plus for my fantasy team. Listen to me, So,

780
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: soft tissue injuries are a big deal this year, right,

781
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: and this guy was struggling with a soft tissue injury

782
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: all of last year, So we pick him up. He

783
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: hasn't been doing nothing for the entire summer, and now

784
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's growing. That's what I'm making

785
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: on He's growing is all of a sudden fixing. It's

786
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: gonna hold up for the for the remainder of the year.

787
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: He is not getting picked on my fantasy team. Church,

788
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: What place you come in last year? Church? See you

789
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: see now you're breaking up old news and old history. Man,

790
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: We don't we don't even know about all that. You know.

791
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 1: I got my new GM status now, so you know

792
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: I'm I'm ready to roll this year. So we'll see.

793
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: Now we know you won, We know you one, We

794
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: know you one, all right, we know you won the

795
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 1: first place. Yes, yes, and Church wants something. Church, listen

796
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: to me. Okay, Church, listen to me on this. Your

797
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 1: idea is absolutely correct. Last year I took will Us

798
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: and I took will Us because I said, you know what,

799
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: I want a guy who's a part of a high

800
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: scoring offense. So I went with him because he was

801
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: with the Saints and he kicked indoors and hey, look

802
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 1: it's ball. You're not gonna get in touch on every possession,

803
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: but will you be in range for some long field goals?

804
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: And my man was knocking in those forties and fifty yards.

805
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: So Legatron is going to be on an offensive. We

806
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,479
Speaker 1: export expect to score thirty points a game, and he's

807
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: a guy who because he was hurt last year, you

808
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 1: could possibly wait till almost the last pick in your

809
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: draft and get the guy while everybody else is trying

810
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: to go get Will Lutts and other dudes who scored

811
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 1: high points early. So go ahead and be smart and

812
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: be like me and start looking at Legatron. Okay, you

813
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: listen to me and wait to say when did I

814
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: must be missing? So when did Legatron? Is that? Is

815
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: that his nickname for me? Leg T? I never heard

816
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: that one. I never heard that one. Maybe maybe knew

817
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: he made that love it. Uh No, he has been

818
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: called Legatron. It was it was him and it was

819
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: the guy in Minnesota. Um yeah, Gregg the leg Legatron.

820
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: So they've they've thrown it out there, but look the

821
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 1: guys the guy the guy could kick and ultimately Danny.

822
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: I'm trying to help. I mean, I'm trying to help

823
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 1: Barry not repeat last year because the way you're running

824
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 1: man down about his fantasy team last year, it's like

825
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,760
Speaker 1: watching Michael Jordan when he was rasing Scott Barrell during

826
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: during the last day something. No, let me play something

827
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: before let's get the let's get some war context to this. No,

828
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: I was auto picked. I didn't get to pick my

829
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: own my own draft, so I was auto picked out there.

830
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: So I was already behind the eight ball when I

831
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: was dowing the season started, you know what I'm saying.

832
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:32,760
Speaker 1: So and in the in the guys and the moves

833
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: I made, they were they were playing well in the

834
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: beginning of the season, but as soon as I drafted

835
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: them on my team, they just they stunk it up. So,

836
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I was behind the eight ball

837
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: from the beginning. But no excuses, no excuses. Okay, first

838
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 1: of all, you made this, you made excuse that say,

839
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: no excuse new last day. Tell me this, if Jerry

840
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: Jones miss miss draft day, would there be a reason

841
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: for us not being able to make the Super Bowl?

842
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: And he just like, oh man, I was on the

843
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: yacht meet me and Steven and Will. We couldn't make it.

844
00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: So we just we just called in and told the

845
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: told everybody to pick up we had on the board.

846
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: No excuse, we don't, we don't want to that. No, no,

847
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: no excuses, man, noo, there's too many moves you couldn't

848
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: make during the year Okay, there's no days off on

849
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: your fantasy football team. Okay, there's no days off, all right.

850
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, you'd like to have a solid draft,

851
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:18,479
Speaker 1: but but at the end of the day, you gotta

852
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: be maneuvering your roster and keep on improving it. I mean,

853
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:23,359
Speaker 1: there's too many dudes who got good in the second

854
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: half of the year. A J. Brown, uh, Ryan Tanner Hills.

855
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 1: There too many Tyler Higbee got good, Joe Mixon started performing.

856
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: You gotta be on the way of roster man. You

857
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 1: gotta be serious about this business man. It's not a game.

858
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: Fantasy footballs out a game. It's a lie. It's a

859
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: way of life. Switch it up. I'm gonna switch it

860
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:46,600

00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: got a lot of work. We gotta squeeze in right

904
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: here and knew we Scruggs a long time Cowboys reported

905
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 1: joined by former Cowboy players Danny McCrae at Barry Church

906
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,399
Speaker 1: will start with Alden Smith. Dak Prescott was asked about

907
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 1: facing him and he said he damn sho doesn't look

908
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: like a guy who's missed five years of football here,

909
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: so he is impressive at camp. He feels good. He

910
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: says that being back in the locker room was the

911
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: thing he missed most. So, Danny McCrae, you were one

912
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: of the vocal guys who was questioning Alden Smith. We

913
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: haven't played a game yet, but so far he is

914
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: giving the Cowboys more than what they thought they were getting,

915
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna stick with what I said. This is

916
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 1: the beginning of training camp. I think it may have

917
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,320
Speaker 1: been in past for like two days and then LC's

918
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:08,919
Speaker 1: not practicing. I think Tyring is out with injured as well,

919
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: so I'm not sure who all the Smith's going against,

920
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: but I'm glad that he's getting back into the groove

921
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: of things, and I think it'll take him a game

922
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,760
Speaker 1: or two before he gets back to filling or looking

923
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: anything similar to how he looked previously. I think, like

924
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,800
Speaker 1: I said last week, the COVID and him not having

925
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: to be out and be in the city and having

926
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 1: those temptations helped him tremendously. So I'm proud that the

927
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 1: start is good, but I'm just I'm still not sold

928
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: on it yet. Okay, Danny's Danny's negative, Nelly here great

929
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 1: where to go. I'm proud, but just like just like

930
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: with coach McCarthy, just like with everything else in my life, Man,

931
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: look when I see it, I believe it. And then

932
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 1: you know that's what I said at the beginning. So

933
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna hop off, hop off my opinion. Yet

934
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: he got to show me something in game time, in

935
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,720
Speaker 1: real game time. We're not even gonna see a preseason

936
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: I got to see real game time explosive this Barry,

937
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: you're drinking poole. I'm gonna take you. I'm gonna tell

938
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 1: you this. I'm gonna have a sit just to you know,

939
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a sipping washing around a little bit

940
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: to see how it really tastes. But you know, from

941
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: the reports we're getting from Camp, I mean, everything sounds amazing.

942
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he looks explosive out there. He's turning the corner.

943
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,399
Speaker 1: His bend is unbelievable. And like you said, you've seen guy.

944
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 1: Guys are saying, it doesn't look like he's taking, you know,

945
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 1: five years off from being a defensive end. But um,

946
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: like Joe sins, somebody used to always tell me, man,

947
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: everybody looks good in shorts when you put those pads on.

948
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: And yeah, they had a pad of practice here and there.

949
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:39,800
Speaker 1: But like he said, he's not going against lyle Cons.

950
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 1: He ain't going up against Tyren Smith right now. So

951
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:45,760
Speaker 1: I gotta see in an actual game, when the lights

952
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 1: are on, pressure is on, the defense needs him to

953
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: step it up. I want to see what he can

954
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: do then before I go ahead and drink the full

955
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 1: cup of tea right there. But um, and also, I mean,

956
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,720
Speaker 1: we gotta see when, like what if he starts having success,

957
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,319
Speaker 1: And like Danny said, the temptations start coming around. So

958
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,919
Speaker 1: hopefully he's able to get all those you know, pass

959
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 1: demons out of this, out of this psyche, and he's

960
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,800
Speaker 1: able to go into this season fully focused and fully

961
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: prepared because from the sounds, from the sounds of it

962
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: from camp, he seems like he's having an explosive, explosive

963
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 1: beginning to the camp. Let's just hope it carries over

964
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: to the regular season. Here's so much of the positives

965
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,280
Speaker 1: that I've gotten out of Olden Smith is for years

966
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: that hope people have had with Randy Gregory and they

967
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 1: didn't really get to see it that Olden Smith could

968
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 1: actually do what were you were hoping Randy Gregory could do,

969
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: which is get yourself back here, be in a frame

970
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 1: of mind. And the one thing he has it Randy doesn't.

971
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of experience in the National Football League,

972
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: and he didn't go against tying on some reps, and

973
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,280
Speaker 1: and he's made some plays and he had one tipped

974
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: pass of a Dak Prescott to throw that he almost intercepted.

975
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: So so far it's almost like Cede Lamb in terms

976
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,720
Speaker 1: of what you were hoping for, so far you're getting.

977
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: And while Danny can be negative Nelly on it, I

978
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:01,879
Speaker 1: think I'm with you, Barry with might as well. Let's

979
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,439
Speaker 1: take a little ship, let's enjoy it and let's see

980
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,359
Speaker 1: where it goes. Hold on, wait, what so how come

981
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,919
Speaker 1: I gotta be negative just because I didn't buy until

982
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna be like this the guy that he was before.

983
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: He you know, had this issue as it was off

984
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: the field. That don't make me negative. I'm just being realistic.

985
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: I'll played the game and you know, five five years

986
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: off and going into going into a practice and knocking

987
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 1: down the ball or beat somebody on the past. Rush's

988
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,439
Speaker 1: not equate into who you were before, which was a

989
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 1: complete monster on the field. Okay, Okay, I'm gonna let

990
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: you have that, man, you feel good, Feel Goodna, let

991
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 1: you have that. Listen. I'm praying for him, man, Listen, listen.

992
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: I want him to fight these things. I'm praying for him,

993
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: just like I pray for Johns Gordon. Man. I want

994
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: those guys to come back and be the comeback stories

995
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 1: to make and write a book and have America's i

996
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: mean a New York bestseller. I want him to win.

997
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 1: But I'm realistic and he has not done anything yet,

998
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: Like we were not into real football yet, so I'll

999
00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 1: just waiting. Okay, you're going with the old Bill Parcel's line,

1000
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 1: and he used to say it here when he coached

1001
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. All I can go by is what I see,

1002
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: So you need to see more. Okay, that's that's fair.

1003
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:12,760
Speaker 1: That's fair. Everson Griffin, on the other hand, who signed

1004
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys, we have seen him last year. We

1005
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: saw a coach on Sunday Night Football in that Vikings

1006
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:21,720
Speaker 1: Cowboys game. I was surprised when I read he turned

1007
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 1: out forty three million dollars. He had that due to

1008
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,799
Speaker 1: him and he opted out of the contract. That I

1009
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 1: don't understand, but hey, he's with the Cowboys on a

1010
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 1: one year, six million dollars deal. When guys are playing

1011
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: for money like that, could we expect, maybe you that

1012
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:40,320
Speaker 1: the Cowboys get a Robert Quinn like performance from Everson Griffin,

1013
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 1: who's trying to, you know, get on the market next year,

1014
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 1: and if Tank Lawrence bounces back to what he was

1015
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 1: two years ago before last year's five sack performance, that

1016
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 1: maybe he has a Robert Quinn like year and could

1017
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: put up double digit sacks. Danny, Yeah, I think you know,

1018
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: when guys come in and they're playing hunger and they're

1019
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 1: planning to get into free agency and get that big payday,

1020
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: I think they usually played better. That passing up forty

1021
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 1: three million is a little concerning to me because now

1022
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, is he really playing for money? Or is

1023
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 1: he just like you know, I don't really need it.

1024
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: I'm just playing for the love of the game. I'm

1025
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:17,439
Speaker 1: a little confused, but I think that him and seeing

1026
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: him as a player over the past few years, I

1027
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,399
Speaker 1: think he's going to be that same guy money or not,

1028
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 1: He's just he's just one hell of a player. He

1029
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 1: has a high motor and he can get to the quarterback.

1030
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: I don't think him wanting to get paid or not

1031
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 1: being able to get paid it's going to change any

1032
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: of that. I think he's going to be a great

1033
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 1: football player like he's been for the last few years

1034
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. Chert, Well, I'll tell you this, The Cowboys

1035
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: better hope that he comes with the production that Robert

1036
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 1: Quinn had last year. I mean, Robert Quinn had eleven

1037
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 1: sacks last year. I mean he was able to consistently

1038
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:53,439
Speaker 1: beat one on one blocks out there, which was able

1039
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 1: to open up things for other people. Now, I didn't

1040
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,919
Speaker 1: come to fruition with those others getting sacks as well,

1041
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 1: but hopefully everything Griffin is able to come in here

1042
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 1: and have that same level of production or even better

1043
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:05,839
Speaker 1: production than Robert Quinn had, and hopefully that will open

1044
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: up things for the Tyrone Crawfords in the middle of

1045
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:10,360
Speaker 1: the all the Smiths on the other edge, where the

1046
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence is on the other edge. So hopefully he

1047
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 1: can come and get that consistent pressure that we had

1048
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,399
Speaker 1: from Robert Quinn, because if he's able to do that,

1049
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: then this defense can become, in my opinion of top

1050
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,839
Speaker 1: five because once that defensive line starts rolling, like I said,

1051
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 1: it makes it a lot easier for the secondary and

1052
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 1: max it out easier for the linebackers to do what

1053
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 1: they do, and in turn that turns into victories. So

1054
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 1: hopefully he's able to get that production that Robert Quinny was,

1055
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 1: and I know the Colbos are praying that they do

1056
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 1: because they need it. They really do. Tell me this

1057
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 1: Millie and church Solis. Did you know the deal that

1058
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:43,359
Speaker 1: he passed up? Like how many years it was for

1059
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: forty three, I don't know, but it was already it was.

1060
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: It was opted I mean he opted out of it.

1061
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 1: I mean that was the thing. It was. It was

1062
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:52,880
Speaker 1: all the books for forty three and I don't know

1063
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: if it was for three or four more years, but

1064
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 1: he opted out of that deal to test free agency.

1065
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: And I guess he thought he was gonna gonna get

1066
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:04,879
Speaker 1: a monster contract. Um. I'd also read one place where

1067
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: they said, well maybe the Vikings were gonna cut him

1068
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 1: and and and try, you know, but I don't know.

1069
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:12,359
Speaker 1: All I know is man, forty three mil, ten million

1070
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:16,280
Speaker 1: year in this league. You know that's that's uh you

1071
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,720
Speaker 1: you know, and your thirty plus. Okay, you're thirty plus.

1072
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 1: It's not like you're twenty eight years old or twenty nine.

1073
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,719
Speaker 1: But maybe he thought, hey, look man, um, he saw

1074
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 1: get twenty mill and thought he could opt out and

1075
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,320
Speaker 1: then somebody's gonna give him bag. But you think about

1076
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: him and Jadeveon Clowney both making really bad decisions, um,

1077
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 1: and gambling on themselves here because I know, we know

1078
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 1: this was a league that normally pays you know, pass rushers,

1079
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,400
Speaker 1: but they decided that they weren't. No nobody in the

1080
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:44,399
Speaker 1: league paid him his number, and Clowney is still out

1081
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:46,479
Speaker 1: there right now trying to trying to get a job

1082
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 1: at his numbers. His number. Yes, it's super confusing on

1083
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 1: the efforts in Griffin part because like I said, I

1084
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 1: mean forty they're gonna have to cut meat. Like if

1085
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,800
Speaker 1: you got forty three million, it's already on the books,

1086
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: like I'm not. I'm not searching for the agency trying

1087
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: to get more. I'm like, man, you're gonna have to

1088
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 1: cut me or something like that, because I'm gonna take

1089
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 1: all this forty three. So maybe he, like you said,

1090
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 1: maybe he was in like a clowney situation where he thought, man,

1091
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 1: you know, if I if I get out of here,

1092
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 1: so I might be able to hit a three year

1093
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: you know, something crazy like three year fifty mill or

1094
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 1: something like that to get you know, to get his

1095
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 1: or sixteen mile or something like that, to get that

1096
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: twenty per year. And that's the only way I can

1097
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 1: take a passion of forty three. And I just think

1098
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,279
Speaker 1: he made the wrong move. But you know, hopefully he's

1099
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:27,319
Speaker 1: able to produce for our cowboys and we can get

1100
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 1: some victories out of it. In a pandemic, that's your thing.

1101
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 1: You you opted out of a deal in a pandemic.

1102
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 1: Um the salary kept going down next year, okay, you

1103
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 1: know they've already told it's going down prices. It's gonna

1104
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 1: be like that little Walmart yellow sticker, the roll back.

1105
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:44,839
Speaker 1: The league has told all the players and ages there

1106
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a rollback. So even if Everson Griffin, right,

1107
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 1: if Everson Griffin has a really good year of double

1108
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 1: digit sack, who knows, you know, truly what kind of

1109
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: money is out there, So you know it's a gamble

1110
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 1: and he's in it now. But if I'm Everson Griffin, man,

1111
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:07,240
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that Olden Smith and Tank Lawrence are unblockable

1112
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:09,359
Speaker 1: and that I can get some one on ones and

1113
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,399
Speaker 1: get to some of these quarterbacks here, because in order

1114
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: to get a massive payday, he's got to have numbers.

1115
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,720
Speaker 1: And I'll give Robert quinn um, you know, his dude,

1116
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 1: he had that year and the Bears were desperate and

1117
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 1: so they paid the freight. So we'll see. But I'm

1118
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 1: with you, man, it's it's hard to opt out of deals,

1119
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: especially when you're talking about you know, we're in a

1120
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: pandemic right now and trying to opt out of deals here.

1121
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 1: So so we'll see. But through the Cowboys, hey, good

1122
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 1: for you, you know, good for you that Everson Griffin

1123
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 1: decided to go ahead and do what he did. And

1124
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 1: somebody out there may get lucky with Jaevan Clowney, but

1125
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 1: I think Griffinson's I think Griffin's a better fit for

1126
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 1: the Cowboys than Clowney. I know a lot of people

1127
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 1: were talking about and wanted Jendeveon Clowney, but I just

1128
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,840
Speaker 1: Clowny only had three sacks. I think this is a

1129
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 1: better situation for a Griffin who said he grew up

1130
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 1: a Cowboy fan and was named after Everson Walls. So

1131
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 1: I thought that it was a pretty cool thing that

1132
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 1: he told the media this week as well. Everson Walls, who,

1133
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:05,359
Speaker 1: by the way, should be in the Pro Football Hall

1134
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:08,919
Speaker 1: of Fame. And let me give out shout to my boy,

1135
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 1: Drew Pearson, the original eighty eight, who is the senior

1136
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:17,360
Speaker 1: finalist for a player for induction for the Pro Football

1137
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,879
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame Class of twenty twenty, which means he's

1138
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: basically rubber stamp. They're not going to not put Drew

1139
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 1: Pearson in. He's the only member of the nineteen seventies

1140
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:29,879
Speaker 1: All Decade Team First Team not in only receiver from

1141
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 1: the All First Team All Decade Team in the fifty sixty, seventies, eighties,

1142
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 1: and nineties not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

1143
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 1: Drew Pearson is getting in in February, and I'm pretty

1144
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 1: excited about that. For the Class of twenty twenty, one,

1145
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: a undrafted free agent congress to Drew Man, well deserved, NUIs,

1146
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,319
Speaker 1: I saw you. I saw you shed a tier form

1147
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: when y'all are on the phone. Man, that's that's a

1148
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 1: big time. I'm really happy for the guy. He's a

1149
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 1: great guy. Mid him a couple of times, and great energy,

1150
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:58,839
Speaker 1: and I can't wait to hear his speech. He said

1151
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,839
Speaker 1: it was gonna be the next level. Yep, like lad

1152
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 1: like like mcraie had met him a couple of times

1153
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,279
Speaker 1: and he's always had that great energy about him, so

1154
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 1: I can assume that's how he was as a player.

1155
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:09,800
Speaker 1: Let's just take It's a shame that it took this

1156
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:11,920
Speaker 1: long for him to get in, but I'm glad that

1157
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:14,279
Speaker 1: he'll finally be able to get in and put that

1158
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 1: jacket on him and as much deserve him. I was

1159
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 1: at his house in January. He had too many people over.

1160
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: He had champagne that was chilling. He expected to pop

1161
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 1: that bottle and get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

1162
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: And when Harold Carmichael got in, Harold Carmichael was second

1163
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 1: team All nineteen seventies. Harold Carmichael played in only one

1164
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Drew Pearson played in three Drew one his

1165
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:38,439
Speaker 1: Harold did not. It was hard man. He went into

1166
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 1: the he left, he went into his office. He was cursing.

1167
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: I mean he was upset, and he teared up and cried.

1168
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 1: And so he and I we worked together for thirteen years.

1169
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:50,400
Speaker 1: I just gave him a hug and I said, you know,

1170
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 1: you're a Hall of Famer. I said, God's God's delaying it,

1171
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: but he won't deny it. And so it was definitely

1172
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 1: emotional for me because I spent thirteen years, you know,

1173
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 1: talking back like Drew, you are you are? He was,

1174
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 1: you know, he didn't think that he would ever get it,

1175
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 1: and the the politics were against him, and for that to

1176
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 1: happen was really special. And we're not talking about a

1177
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 1: guy who didn't earn it. Fellas. I go back to

1178
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: watching The Last Dance, when Isaiah Thomason talked about the

1179
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 1: Dream Team, he says, I don't know what the process

1180
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 1: was for picking that team, but I know I met

1181
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,759
Speaker 1: the criteria. And that was Drew Pearson's career. When you

1182
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 1: talk about the process that goes into selecting Hall of Famers,

1183
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 1: Drew met the criteria of it. And to watch a

1184
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 1: couple of guys get in over him and during his time,

1185
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 1: like Harold Carmichael and John Stalwarth, those were hard pills

1186
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 1: to swallow. I had guys like mel Blunt, who might

1187
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:44,879
Speaker 1: be the best quarterback to ever play in this league.

1188
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 1: They changed rules because mel Blunt was so good. Mel

1189
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 1: Blunt told me, he said, Neui, if I can help

1190
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 1: Drew get in, I will because he is a Hall

1191
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 1: of Famer. And that's pretty cool. Man. When a guy

1192
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:58,920
Speaker 1: like mel Blunt says Joe Green the greatest Pittsburgh Steel

1193
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 1: of all time, you know, Joe Green said that guy

1194
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 1: was a Hall of Famer. When you have legends on

1195
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 1: a team like the Seelers who have four Super Bowl

1196
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 1: rings and they can look across and tell you that

1197
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: guy was a Hall of Famer, that's pretty that's pretty cool.

1198
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 1: And the fact that he's just now one step away

1199
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 1: from going there, I'm really happy for him. YEP. I

1200
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 1: want to ask you this before before we get off,

1201
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 1: because we've been speaking about this for a few weeks,

1202
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 1: these these injuries that we're having. We got Sean Lee,

1203
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 1: we got LC, we got LT we got guys going down,

1204
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 1: and then a round the league as well, you got

1205
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 1: guys going down with ACLS and achilles and all these

1206
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 1: different injuries that us off tissue. How concerning is this

1207
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 1: for for us, especially with our old line. It's where

1208
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:44,080
Speaker 1: everybody across the league. I mean, I'll tell you this.

1209
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: You know, we talk about our fantasy football teams and

1210
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 1: my league, I said, we need to have a injury roster.

1211
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: We had the IR and a COVID. So we got

1212
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 1: two things, IR and COVID. Because it's gonna be a problem.

1213
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 1: Make sure you draft a lot of guys here. Well,

1214
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 1: you stop, bar I gotta finish this. Okay, we're almost

1215
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 1: Then give me two minutes. I'll let you out. Two

1216
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:19,040
