I thought I 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:11.280 was about to say Zact Martin or something. 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:12.440 Yeah, so I. 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:14.040 Wait for you to say you Jo No. 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:16.120 No, So I go to my photographer and I just said, 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:21.440 Dicks just walk by.

So I go up to the PR staff. 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:30.200 I just said, what time's injury report came? I said 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:33.720 three o'clock, so it's it's two two pm or textas 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:38.199 time right now. So yeah, I expect CD. I expect 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:41.160 uh Trayvon Digs to uh be on that thing. We 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.479 did talk to CD Lamb. By the way, this CD 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:47.040 you know this wasn't happened. You know, I saw it afterwards. 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:50.000 Ceed Lamb in good spirits. Uh says he really likes 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:53.240 the way Mike McCarthy has been using him. Who else 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:53.840 I talked like her? 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:54.080 Uh? 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:56.960 Tyn Smith didn't want to talk, but he says he's 0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:00.280 all good. Chat with him. Jan Ye Thomas chatted with him. 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:03.560 Tyn Smith didn't want to talk to you after. He 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:06.160 definitely don't listen to the player loud because he would 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:07.960 come on over. 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:11.240 You only come on over, right, He said, I'll get 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:13.240 you next time. I'll get you next time. Some chatted 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:15.400 with him, chat with Jay Lou about what they're doing. 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.360 One you talking said, Hey, the biggest thing he said 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:18.919 he saw this week is that we got it not 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:23.040 allowed touchdown standards Okay, standards high here. Jay lou likes 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.320 what's going on here. By the way, Dak is about 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.080 to make his one hundred start. So CJ talked about 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:30.120 how priceive it was that he could get it done, 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:31.680 and George Lewis like, yeah, man, sure the old man 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:35.720 can still sling it here. So Duke Vaughd talks about 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:37.440 still living a dream. So that's kind of just what 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.120 I got out of the locker room right before we 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.760 came up here. But but obviously we'll see what's going 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:47.640 on with Diggs when Mike McCarthy talks tomorrow. 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:52.600 But sure, what to say, I took the error right here. 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:53.359 Believe me. 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:53.640 I'm just. 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:57.519 Man, that's a huge if. 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.959 If it is, you know, serious or whatever, that's a 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:03.600 huge loss because if you look at it, you know, 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:05.520 the first two games of the season, is defense been 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:07.280 the all all cel Landers. We can agree with that 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.359 defensive line looks amazing, But when we talk about days 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.200 that first game, I mean his impact was made immediately. 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.400 When you talk about shutting receivers down, forcing fumbles, popping 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:18.760 things into the air like that, to me, that's a 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:22.240 huge loss because it kind of limits your creativity defensive wise, 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.079 because you know, Dan Quick could have just been like, 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:25.880 all right, I got my two corners. Those dudes are 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:27.400 shut down on our side. Let me focus on what 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.800 I could do on this inside now with the loss 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:31.840 of him, Well, we don't know yet. You know, it 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.320 could be planning. But if something were to happen with Diggs, 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:36.800 you know, who do you slide into that that that. 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:40.560 Corner spot, and that, my man, is why you go 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.320 ahead and pay j Lou keep him on the roster 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:47.080 because that's new year always says, seventeen game season. What's 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:50.200 gonna happen right about? You got durn Bland. This is 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.640 just my answer to it. You got darn Bland, Jay 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:57.840 Lou Stefan Gilmore. I'm seeing that as like, all right, 0:03:57.880 --> 0:03:59.920 we still got a guy who over there can turn 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:00.680 the ball over? 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:01.640 Is he digs? 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:04.960 He's a young guy, not yet, but I still trust 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:06.640 him being out there to play on the outside. And 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:08.800 then you don't lose at the slot because you still 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.720 have a veteran guy there in George Lewis. So, I mean, 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:14.040 it's good to have depth at the at the position, 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:16.800 but yeah, losing a guy like possibly losing a guy 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:20.120 like Traymond Diggs is I'm glad we're playing Arizona. 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.320 Let me also say before you get going, heck, I 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.120 didn't you know. You couldn't tell whether it was an 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:29.120 ankle or what was just holding just on the crutches, 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:31.200 you know, and the leg was lifted, So you just 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:35.000 knew something, don't know, don't know yet. I'm not I'm 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:36.600 not a doctor. I don't want a diagnosed. But he 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:37.640 was on the crutches, and. 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:43.720 So what you know is Thursday and he don't crutches. Yeah, 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:45.480 So I mean I'm going where you're going with. 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:48.640 With Duran Bland as the other corner, we've seen him 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.600 come in and fill in in situations just like this. 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.799 But I still believe in the front end of our defense. 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.360 Y'all know how this thing work. Front end compliments back 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.520 in and and all works together. And I think our 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:00.520 defensive front, uh that we're going to present is going 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.920 to be a problem for any quarterback. They're gonna have 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.000 to rush throws. And when we have a situation with 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.320 a young guy like d Run Bland that we have 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:10.919 time proofy inconsistency that he can fill in for whatever 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:12.600 time it is we don't know what the injury is, 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:14.480 so it's hard to speculate how long it's going to 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.880 be or how much of an impact this is going 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.080 to be. I know that right now when I look 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:23.159 at the Arizona Cardiners Cardinals, I'm worried about their running, 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.240 them running the ball. When I look at them as 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:28.400 a wide receiver group, it's not that I'm overlooking them. 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.280 I just know that if they're able to get their 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:32.800 run going, then they'll be able to get some other 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:35.400 things going and play action. So look, it's not good, 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:37.960 it's not advantageous. But when I look at this defense 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:41.880 in total, they're probably knock on wood. There gonna be 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.120 times where you miss some of your starters, maybe some 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.200 key starters, and this is the start of that. So 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:48.240 tell me this how you feel about it. I guess 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.520 we can go around the table. So with everybody healthy 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:56.000 on our defense, you feel we're a ten, right the 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:56.880 best you can get. 0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:58.200 When you lose a. 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:02.080 Player like a Trayvon dig How how much does that 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:07.280 knock you down as far as your capability is on defense? Yeah, 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:09.280 I guess through two games. I believe in my in 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:11.760 my front, so it's not knocking me down to a seven, 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:15.440 So I'm somewhere. I'm somewhere in between eight and nine. 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.080 I know it's going to be an impact, but I'm 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:21.159 just saying the way that our defense has been playing together, 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:24.800 that front end, I just I trust to run playing that. 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:25.760 Yeah, I'm with you on that. 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:27.760 I don't think it'll bring them down too much, at 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:29.720 least not in these next two matchups, because you got 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.400 you know, Arizona, then you got New England Patriots there, 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:34.360 so you know, I don't think it'll knock them down 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:36.040 too much because that rush is gonna, you know, like 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:38.680 you just said, speed up quarterbacks. And we were fine 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.360 for those two matchups. But when you get to a 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:43.240 San Francisco, which is down the line. I think that's 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.200 right after the Patriots game, if I'm not mistaken. 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:46.320 They got an. 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.400 Offensive line that I wouldn't say can match toe to 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:50.919 toe with this D line, but they can they can 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:52.880 put some resistance on them. And then you got the 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:54.800 two wide receivers on the outside. When we talk about 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:57.279 you and you talk about you know, Deebo Samuel Gilmour 0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:59.080 may be able to get one, but what about the 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:00.840 other that you got Kidd and you got Macafe out 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:02.400 the slide, so that's the only thing that I think 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:04.800 can affect it these next two weeks. I don't think 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:06.720 it'll be a problem. You know, our defeni line should 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:08.719 be able to eat Arizona up as well as the Patriots, 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:10.080 so I'm not worried about it. It's when you get 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.880 to those upper echelon teams with a decent offensive line 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.640 like Philly or you know, San Francisco, that it may affect. 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:17.800 But he hopefully could be back by that time, even 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:18.680 if he misses. 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.680 Any time at all. Puts trust in dan Quinn, right, Yeah, 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:27.760 this is where dan Quinn is once again not sure 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:32.880 what's going to happen. But if the hey he doesn't play, happen, 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.440 It's where dan Quinn they talk about next person up, 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:38.280 you go ahead and you get things done, and it's 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:42.040 an opportunity. He always talks about opportunities. So the opportunity 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.560 for Bland and Geordan lewis to get out here and 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:49.280 do their thing. Seventeen games, this stuff happens, which is 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:51.640 what Mike McCarthy is always constantly talking about in terms 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:52.600 of just having. 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:56.440 Guys ready to go and do their job. So you're 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:58.720 right back don't work without the front. 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.080 But that's what you hell's gonna ask you. 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.360 Have you heard any update on na Shawn Wright. 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:06.280 He's still on. 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:08.680 Yeah, you know, he was sitting next to Jordan Lewis 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:10.400 and I didn't have time to just chat with him, 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:10.840 but he. 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:11.680 Was sitting next to him. 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.760 But yeah, no, I mean, it's a pickle. 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:16.440 You just came in here and dropped one on his dog, 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.040 which you gave us a little bit of warning, you 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:18.480 know what I mean. 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:20.240 You walk right in here and said go and then 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.000 you go right there with that. So I mean the 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:25.200 response is I guess and dan Quinn I trust. I'm 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:26.520 with you. D Mac. 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:28.240 I feel like dan Quinn ain't. We're not gonna have 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:30.720 a drop off. And this isn't a receiving call like 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:32.840 you were alluding to that you have to worry about. 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:34.720 What you have to worry about the next three games 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:38.480 is teams attacking you. What is allegedly your biggest weakness, 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.240 and that's running the ball. That we saw the Jets 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:45.080 abandon the run immediately. If if the if the Cardinals 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:47.719 have any chance in this game, they better run with 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:50.839 Connor and they better stay with it long enough for 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:53.559 every other part of their offense to start to work. 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:56.440 Otherwise the Dallas Coutboys defense is just gonna make them 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.960 one dimensional, as you saw with the Jets, as you've 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:02.000 seen with the Daniel Jones, like this is what they do. 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:03.959 I'm trying not to look too far down the line. 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:05.920 I'm trying to stay right here this week, man, But 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.839 I'm just the long term implications of what knw he 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.600 just told me just just scares me a little bit. 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.920 Man. I know, I know, but that's but that's you know, 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.800 that's just how the mind works. It just works. We 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:22.079 really wouldn't worried about Arizona to begin with. Let's not 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:24.360 go to that. I know I'm not. I'm not going 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:24.959 to death comfort. 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.160 I'm going to chess pieces and figuring out, Okay, Durron 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:30.800 Bland long term at cornerback. 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.839 Or whatever it is. I'm trying to stay off of that. 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:34.320 But I do trust that Dan Quinn. 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:37.520 I know, no matter what happens, he has brought the 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.480 right players in to make sure that the drop off 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.520 drop off is not significant enough for us to have 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:46.920 to be worried about taking the season, figuring out how 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:50.000 to run different defensive schemes, whatever it is no matter 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.760 who goes down, and that's no matter who goes down. 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.480 I believe that dan Quinn is gonna have these guys 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:57.520 ready to play, making sure that they are in the 0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:59.360 right position to make the right place. He's not putting 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:02.280 anybody in position that they don't feel comfortable in. 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:06.800 The other kind of thought process is we talked about 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:10.839 Arizona offensively game plan. You got to put Dobbs the 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:12.920 same way that Zach Wilson did and even where we 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.360 saw Daniel Jones got a huge legs. So as well 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:17.559 as about running Connor, your quarterback gonna have to go 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.040 ahead and make some plays. I mean, that's just if 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.000 we seem like, hey, what's one thing you can do 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:23.360 to keep a driving live here? 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:25.920 Tell homeboy you know to go. 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.160 Go and he did because he ran. I'll tell you 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.439 ran smooth over. But I'll tell you they in that 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:34.520 meme right now, like, hey, guys, don't know about the slide, 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.120 I don't know down. 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:39.920 Act like he ain't going down because you don't want 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:40.880 to end up being this guy. 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:44.040 He got ran straight through before a touchdown, so he 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.480 gonna use his list. He know everybody who watched that film. 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.679 No I got to be ready to go. 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:49.640 And this is a guy. 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:53.080 I'm not saying he's an upper echelon quarterback, but he's 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:55.559 no scrub. I would say he's no scrub. And he's 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:57.679 better than you know, Zach Wilson. Ye, he's not better 0:10:57.679 --> 0:10:59.840 than the guy we played last week. 0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:02.280 And boy, you don't think that Josh Dobbs is better 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:06.520 than that. I'm sing's better. He's better than that. 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.000 And when you look at it, not saying last year's 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.959 defense is anywhere near the defense they got this year, 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:14.400 but last year he was able to die this this 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:16.120 this defense up. I mean, there was a lot of 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:17.920 drop passes up there. We could be talking about a 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.880 different story, but to me, it's he ain't a scrub. 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:22.960 They gonna fight at least for two quarters. They're gonna 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:24.960 fight for at least two quarters. We beat them, right, 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.319 We beat the Titans last year. Man, we were holding 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:30.440 off that whole invitation, but we won. 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:31.439 We won that game. 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:33.559 And and look, I think I think with Dobbs, and 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:35.480 I go back to that that matchup, I think you 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:37.439 know that he's a guy. If you're playing, man, what 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:40.040 happens your cornerbacks got the secondary has a back turned 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:41.320 and then he taken off. 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:42.319 I mean he takes it. 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.000 He's not one of those design run guys that I've 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:48.320 seen yet him. He's he's still somewhat of a pocket passer. 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.120 I mean he has a lot of the Jakobe Brissett 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:52.960 to him, you know what I'm saying. 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:54.240 And so he is capable. 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:55.880 I'm not saying that he's not. And he's one of 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.679 those guys that you have to discourage him early. And 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.360 that's why getting on that run, stopping that and not 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:04.000 letting him get those rhythm throws are just as important. 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:07.079 So look, I'm not looking past them. I think this 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.439 is a dangerous game, and I think it's one of 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:12.320 those games that you don't want to struggle. You don't 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.319 want to struggle with them offensively, you don't want to 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.960 see them poke holes because the next week when we play. 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:18.959 And not looking past him, but you know, next week 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.280 what's gonna happen. Belichick gonna show you how to beat 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:24.480 the Cowboys. Like Vangio, I think it's big. Vangiel said, 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:27.280 I got the blueprint, my man, Belichick gonna show. 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:30.439 You the real, the real blueprint. He gonna try, but 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:32.679 he gonna put it together a personnel. But he is. 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:35.880 As we're having this podcast, I'm watching Arizona be up 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:40.120 seventeen zero in the first half on the New York Giants. Okay, 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:42.120 and they must two hundred and thirty five yards in 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:42.640 the first half. 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:43.560 That's where they at right now. 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:47.319 So people go down to Arizona and they forget that 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:49.880 it's gonna be a dog fight, even if it ain't 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:51.839 one of the physical ones. It's like, all right, just 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:53.719 this game, we're gonna be able to go toe to 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:55.679 toe with you, or just this game, we're gonna be 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:57.400 able to run the ball, and we're gonna be able 0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:58.760 to stop the run, and we're gonna get you in 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:00.839 a position to where you're gonna be nervous in the 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:02.640 second half, and we're gonna see if you really got it. 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:04.640 That's what that's what you do. That's what happens to 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:06.800 you in Arizona. Now New York was able to come 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.480 on back, but seventeen zero when he was heating in 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:12.800 the person total yards, total yards, what they have in 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.080 the in the first half to right now there two 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:17.679 thirty five to thirty five, and they finished with three 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.840 seventy nine to no. No, they said, listen, they took 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:22.640 their foot off the gas and they was like we 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.000 cruising and thenfore you know it, it was too late 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:26.480 for them to like cut that light. 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:28.240 If that light was back on, they couldn't do it. 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:30.040 But they played some ball. 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:31.560 Yeah, ceedee. 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:34.640 Lamb did say, hey, we're two and oh, but we 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:38.599 haven't done anything yet. He said two week five is 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:40.440 when you don't bring a measuring stick. And he spoke about, 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.560 we have to keep playing, we have to keep pushing 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:46.720 this thing. And he spoke about knowing that they're they're 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:49.080 zero and two, don't want to go to oh and three. 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.640 And it's the Cowboys, you know, like they're Super Bowl. 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.360 Here come the Cowboys here. So all the hype that 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:58.199 people are talking about, and what better way for you 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.000 to come out and try and turn your season around 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:03.960 is to beat the Dallas Cowboys. So they are coming 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:06.880 at it from a respect standard. And that's that's a 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:08.800 key thing to me. When one of the leaders of 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.000 the team has that mentality. 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:11.400 Yeah, without a doubt. 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.319 I mean, when your leaders are talking like that, the 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:15.280 rest of the guys they're just gonna have to follow. Now, 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:16.760 if they were coming out here saying, hey, you know, 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:18.880 we don't want to fall into a track game, which 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:20.400 is something like that, then you black. All these guys 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:22.680 ain't really ain't really focused on it, but he came 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:24.520 out there and let them know that, you know, Arizona's 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:26.320 gonna They're gonna give you a matchup. They're gonna be 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:28.320 tough for at least two three quarters. And that's what 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:30.200 I expect out of this game. It's gonna be a dogfighter. 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.000 The best thing for us to watch is this game 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.920 that just happened last week, and it put everybody on 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:37.640 notice to say, if you if you go out here 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:39.720 and you sleep walking, like we talked about when we 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:42.440 got into the AFC aroundabout last year, it was like, 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:44.960 if you sleepwalk into this into these games, you're gonna 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:45.480 be in trouble. 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:49.960 New York you watching and they fallen claws, but they 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:52.360 got up out of there with about I'm talking about it. 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:57.800 The team the last the last minute field goal, I 0:14:57.840 --> 0:14:58.400 think it was. 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:01.320 I think you did can get the old pac Man 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:05.840 Jones that time is before your time. When they were 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:08.320 getting ready to go to Saint Louis to play the Rams, 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:11.120 and the Rams weren't good, and we asked pac Man Jones, hey, 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.760 what do you think about the Rams. He's like, it's 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:18.320 the Rams, dude, can't do that. They had Brad Johnson, 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:20.280 a quarterback, went on up there got beat. 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:23.800 It. 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:26.800 So for me, that's one reason why when C. D. 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.760 Lamb said what he did, okay, this is good and 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:32.880 Jordan lewis just talking with him about it, that there's 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:35.560 a respect factor there and the coaches can say something 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:37.040 all day long, but the guys in the room have 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:40.880 to have that respect factor of what's going on there. 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:42.400 Let's get our first break in here. 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.320 Sorry to derail the show the way I did, but 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:47.560 I was looking up it was like one p fifty seven, 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:49.080 let me book out of here.
