Okay, So actually 51 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: today is a bit of a tough day for the 52 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: team in sad day in Cowboys Nation, as the Marcus 53 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: Paul Tribute was this morning at ten and the team 54 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: team time kind of took take time off to uh 55 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: to um watch and participate in the service virtually obviously 56 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: with the COVID the the couldn't do an in service. 57 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: But difficult day. I don't know, fellas, it's been a 58 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: tough couple of weeks so far. Yesterday was a little 59 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: wonky with with the other game. Now today, but I 60 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: guess this team is probably ready hopeful to get back 61 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: on schedule. Yeah, I mean definitely. Uh. And it's you know, 62 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: the sad part about it is we live in this 63 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: time where I'm sure there are deep, deep relationships that 64 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: was built with players and staff with coach Paul, and 65 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: because these guys are in season and the in the 66 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: world that we live in right now, you can't fully 67 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: go and pay your respects because that could in you know, 68 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: in reverse, put you in a position to either spread 69 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: or contact or contract the COVID um. And you know 70 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: that that's that's a tough one. That's a tough one. 71 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: That's a tough one. But you know, our thoughts and 72 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: our prayers are with the Paul family and the players 73 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: in the organization, of all those who've had a list 74 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: ship with coach Paul. And it's a tough one. Man. 75 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: That that that breaks my heart to even think about 76 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: having to deal with something like that from that scale 77 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: of being so close to a person, but in the 78 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: moment where you want to pay the ultimate respect to 79 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: someone as they're going to their rest in place, you 80 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: can't because you're in season and we live in a 81 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: COVID COVID driven world right now. But rest in peace, 82 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: Coach Paul, We'll see yeah, and yes, Sir McCarthy said, 83 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: last playing last Thursday, he wasn't sure how the team 84 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: was respond and obviously the game didn't turn out like 85 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: you want, but they did put out the heart to 86 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 1: hustle and all that, and so we hope that again, 87 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: like Jesse said, prayers and thoughts out to that family, 88 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: the Paul family and the Cowboys family. I know the 89 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: players are going through a lot. So but let's get 90 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: on to some football here. Um strange day yesterday afternoon 91 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: Wednesday football, did you dial into the watch the next 92 00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: Cowboys opponent. I'm looking. Let me say something, man, let 93 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: me say something. If this is an indication and I've 94 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: said this before, if I'm a head coach, you can't 95 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: give me no extra days off talking about we ain't 96 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: fin the practice. Because if yesterday's game in the first 97 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: quarter with full turnovers ain't an indication of lack of practice. Wow, 98 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: that was that was ugly, man. I'm listening to it 99 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: on serious radio and I'm like, turnover, interception, touchdown, fumble, 100 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 1: and when we keep talking about, well they just had 101 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: they just had another zoom meeting. Okay, all right, you 102 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 1: can't stright here, boy, Jesse. That is not how you 103 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: play football, my friend, not this lady. The season. It 104 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: is not. It's not. And it was ugly. And I'm 105 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: more happy that the Steelers actually won because they have 106 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: been getting the short end of the whole COVID rescheduling stick. Um, 107 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 1: but I was, I was flipping back and forth, and 108 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: it was it was at times hard to watch. Uh. 109 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: But between that and of course Matario taking on the 110 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: long Horse was we lost in that game too. The 111 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: Texas long Horse are our daddies. We cannot beat them 112 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: in basketball to save our lives. Um. But yeah, no, 113 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: that that that that and another thing is like to 114 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: watch that game, people like, well, we're gonna get a 115 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: kind of a look of what we're playing against next week. 116 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: And I'm like, no, you won't. Because there were so 117 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: many players that didn't play for Baltimore. That same team 118 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: that you saw yesterday afternoon won't be the same team, 119 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: thank you, that you see when you have to travel 120 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: to Baltimore next week. I'm just telling fans now that 121 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: you won't. Don't. Don't look at that game and say, boy, 122 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: we got a real shot at going No, no, no, 123 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: you don't. You don't, you don't, because you'll have Lamar 124 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: Jackson back, and you'll have a host of other players 125 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: that will be back that you have to deal with 126 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: for four quarters. So you can look at that game 127 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: yesterday and say, you know what, Hey, we got football 128 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: on Wednesday at three thirty. But that team that you 129 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: saw in Baltimore will not be the same team that 130 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: steps on the field. Well, I don't even know when 131 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: the next Tuesday, Wednesday, when we play again Tuesday, next Tuesday. 132 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: So so so, Cowboy Fair, don't look at that game 133 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: and think that's who we're gonna play, because it is 134 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: not there. They had nineteen players on the COVID list 135 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: that they'll be getting back next week. Yeah. I wanted 136 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: to ask you guys about that because the team, you know, 137 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: they practiced Wednesday, which is normally the day you start 138 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: you know, putting your game playing and that kind of thing, 139 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 1: and then then we're all gonna go watch the games. 140 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: It's position groups, and I know, could they get anything 141 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: out of that? Is there anything they could really gain? 142 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,599 Speaker 1: Or they just are they even watching that game or 143 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to go back and watch previous Where 144 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 1: did they watch the game at Kurt and how did 145 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: they watch it? I mean, were they all as symbol 146 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 1: in their respective rooms as with by positions. That's supposedly okay, 147 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 1: because they're in the rooms by position. Linebackers and d 148 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 1: line got a false look because those ain't the running backs. 149 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: In the quarterbacks, the safeties, and corners got a false 150 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: look because they're gonna have a better guy playing quarterback. 151 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: I wish I could say they that time would have 152 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: been better spent on the football field, lining up in 153 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: their proper positions in norm way to be and doing 154 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: a limit of banging. I think that would have been 155 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: the better, the better way than see them that watching 156 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: that game, Like Jesse say, because that ain't the game 157 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna get come next week, I promise you. I 158 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: mean I agree with that. Yeah. I think Michael Gallup 159 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 1: had said that he hoped to get some stuff out 160 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: of the TV, like hearing the communication or something like 161 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: that because the backs. I don't that's realistic. I mean, 162 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: come on, man, we can't even line up on our 163 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: own team and know our own play. Now we're gonna 164 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: try to come on for real? Did he said, don't 165 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: do that? Don't do that, don't do that, Jesse, what 166 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: are you thinking? I mean, how how many games have 167 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: we watched? Every now and again? The most we get 168 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: is we get a couple of cuss words, and we'll 169 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: get an omaha, or we'll get a holly berry, or 170 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: we'll get something like that. But you're not here. You're 171 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: not seeing, you're not hearing. I think that was the case. 172 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,439 Speaker 1: Every team would watch the game on on on the 173 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: TV copy if they picking up signals and calls, right, 174 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: that's the case. If I can hear a call, everybody like, no, 175 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: what do we need all twenty two? For give me 176 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: the TV copy? Right in between when when Collinsworth says 177 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: when he stopped talking, I'm hearing the call. No, Like 178 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 1: I get you here every now and again. You hear 179 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: you know, you hear the quarterback, you know, fifty five 180 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: to mic or you know I D fifty two and 181 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,079 Speaker 1: you'll hear, you know, hey, holly Berry, holly Berry, kill 182 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: kill kill. Other than that, you're not You can't hear 183 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: the defensive call. So I don't know what Michael Gallup 184 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,559 Speaker 1: was watching. Maybe he might have had it on. I'm 185 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: gonna be honest with you, if they were you said 186 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: they were in there was back the ruin because if 187 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: they were at home, that that game was probably on 188 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: the background noise while they were playing whatever PS five 189 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: or Xbox sixteen, whatever came out in next. Because there's 190 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: nothing nothing you picking up as far as audible wise, 191 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,959 Speaker 1: that you're gonna pick up from watching the TV copy. Yeah, 192 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: better watching Madden and watching Lamar run for real in 193 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: a typical week, though, how many games back would you scout? 194 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: Would you over like if as wide received four games 195 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: back or wow, and you hope that it's a loss 196 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: in there. You hope that it's a loss in there, 197 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 1: a tight game in there, and a win, and that 198 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: you you hope that you can get those three things 199 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: because you want to see how your guy reacts in 200 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,199 Speaker 1: a bad situation. You hope that's you see some struggle 201 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 1: in those games as well as some success. Would they 202 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: put it like, say they were on a six game 203 00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: losing streak, would they go back and look at the 204 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: law from from previous that makes sense? Yeah, I don't 205 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,199 Speaker 1: understand that question. I don't like you said, they usually 206 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: do four games, so what if they had won their 207 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: last four or five? Would they go back and look 208 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: at you know, even further back to look. Look. Some 209 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: coaches will, some players would, some players are smart enough 210 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 1: to do that, but most coaches they'll take a look 211 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: because they want to see. You want to see a 212 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 1: team when they're up high, and you want to see 213 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: a team when they when they struggling. They ain't necessarily 214 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: a loss. Just like yesterday coach Thomla called his team 215 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: a JV team. Well, I would want to look at 216 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: that film just to see what went on if I 217 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: was getting ready to play these Stilers, even though they 218 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: lost and it was more than four games, I would 219 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: just like to see how that game went and what 220 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: made them feel that way. And and depending on like 221 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: your opponent, um like for a coach, right, I may 222 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: go back and watch more than four games and try 223 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: to find if there are some specific plays like hey, 224 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: let's just keep an eye out, you know, a alert 225 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: for this player. Now they did this earlier in the 226 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: season to a team that's similar to us. So you're 227 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: trying to find where are the similarities to the opponent 228 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: that you're playing, whether that be offensively or defensively. But 229 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: you also want to know, all right, what are their 230 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: recent trends because most teams they may dig back in 231 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: the crate for a player two, and you hope that 232 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: you're prepared for that player too. But they only go 233 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: four games back because you're you're you're building and you're 234 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: installing every single week for the opponent that you're playing. 235 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: So it's kind of almost what are they doing in 236 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: the recent weeks and the last month, um, you know, 237 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: because we're we're a week eleven now, yeah, the roster. 238 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 1: The roster isn't the same for week one, right, Guys 239 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: are hurt, Guys are injured. So you go back and 240 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: that kind of almost sometimes gives you a false sense 241 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: of what they are right now. The last four games 242 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: give you a more realistic picture of who you're playing today. 243 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: And you take a game like Baltimore, take a little 244 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: bit of that yesterday because there's some pieces that you 245 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 1: can get out of that. But then you look for 246 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,599 Speaker 1: the last couple games and say, all right, this is 247 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: what they normally do, you know, formation set ups, stuff 248 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: like that, where for the offensive side, to be honest 249 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: with you, Kurt defenses doesn't they don't change that much, right, 250 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: There's only so certain way you can run a cover 251 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: two or Cover four or cover three whatever. But it's 252 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: when they run them, it's who they run them with. 253 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: It's trying to pick up those little things through out 254 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: of it. But a cover three is a cover three. 255 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: And you know what a team is going to be, 256 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: their foundation, their core is before the game starts. Hey, listen, guys, 257 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: this team is a primarily quarters team. They're gonna run 258 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: quarters seventy five percent at the time. But when they 259 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: do decide the blitz or they when you know who's blitzing, 260 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: those are more the key indicators. Hey, they like the 261 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: blitz when they're up fourteen, Hey, when they get this 262 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: into the field. You know, the last four game they 263 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: show they're bringing pressure from this side with this guy. 264 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: So just you know, keep it in the back of 265 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: your mind when you get in there for the third 266 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: quarter they're up seven. Just no, here, this is coming. 267 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: This is going to come eventually. If this is the situation, 268 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: we can't get into it more later. But was there 269 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: anything that gave you hope facing this Ravens defense. I mean, 270 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: they only allowed Pittsburgh nineteen points and six of those 271 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: came on an interception. No, no, no, I'm gonna tell 272 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: you why. I'mna tell you why. Okay, we already and 273 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: it just just Nate talking. There's not no coach of stats. Hunh. 274 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: We already conceded that we can't run the ball. We 275 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: already we're not gonna run the ball. Okay, if you're 276 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: not gonna run against this team or try to make them, 277 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: stay honest and Kala's camera and that group can pen 278 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: their ears back. This game over. They got nice dbs, 279 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: even though Jimmy Smith got a little banged up. They 280 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: got nice dbs and they coming so and theyre will 281 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: blitz and then would get pressure packages that that will 282 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: show blitz and back off and give you a lot 283 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: of coverage. So this is the team Jesse's talking about. 284 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: Don't let this. These dudes are legit. Their defense is legit. 285 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: And if you're not, if you don't have the heart 286 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: and the stamina to try to fake it, these dudes 287 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: with the run, they will punish you. That's no. And 288 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: when when you look at this team, where what is 289 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: our We have three? I mean you only got two achilles, 290 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: but we got three achilles heels, right, we don't stop 291 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: to run. Well, well, you're about to get a load 292 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: of JK. Dobbins and uh mark Ingram right, Uh, we 293 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: don't cover the backs out of the backfield, so you 294 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: know JK. Dobbins mark ingram Gus Johnson, and then we 295 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: struggle with tight ends. Well, get ready, that's Lamar Jackson's 296 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: favorite target, Andrews and the rest of that crew, the 297 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: three the three Achilles heels that we truly struggle with 298 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: as far as the defense, you know, and standing in 299 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: our alignment in Simon Lanes and add Lamar Jackson to 300 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: that mix. Well, hell, what are we gonna do? You know? Oh, 301 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: this is this is another one of those games where 302 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: a team that's been kind of ailing and trying to 303 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: get things on track. Uh, they've come to the Dallas 304 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: Cowboys pharmacy, you know, the doctor order saying I'll tell 305 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: you like this, what you asked about our defense of 306 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 1: their defense? Was it our defense? Yeah? Well I think 307 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 1: um I asked about their defense? Okay, yeah, okay, okay, yeah, okay, yeah, 308 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: Because I when Jesse went into that spiel right there, 309 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, I'm on the wrong page. 310 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 1: I'm not listening. Well, but you know, I'm gonna tell 311 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 1: you something, fellas. It's gonna be tough both sides of 312 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: the ball. Yeah, you're you're you're you're talking about a 313 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: coaching staff that Jesse has repeatedly said, they they they 314 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: core team is in place, and they they're they're missing weeks. 315 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 1: Ain't like our guys missing weeks. We got a new 316 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator who's just recently got guys to start leaving 317 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: in what he's trying to do. And and now they 318 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: haven't practice. You know that that that that's that's not 319 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: gonna that's not And maybe they and maybe they have 320 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: enough fresh legs to overcome that lack of practice. Maybe 321 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: they do. Maybe they have him knowledge of the defense 322 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: to overcome that. I just don't see it, even though 323 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: I'm not big on Lamar and where he's at in 324 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 1: his progression as a as a as a as a quarterback. 325 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: Because if I'm the Dallas Cowboys, I know my back 326 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,959 Speaker 1: end defensively as weak. But I had nine guys on 327 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: the line. Chill me, you can throw all right, Well, 328 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: let's take a break here. Maybe I got a couple 329 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: more defensive related questions I'll ask you when we get back.

All right, Okay, I got a couple of 383 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: defensive related questions for you and Nate. You kind of 384 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: hit it on it in the break there. I think 385 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: the Cowboys were really starting to look good on defense 386 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 1: against the run. They held Petsburgh pretty well, they held Minute. 387 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 1: They did pretty solid against Minnesota, considering well, actually Minnesota 388 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,360 Speaker 1: racked up the yards, but you know, they won the game. 389 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: They got the stops when they needed to, and then 390 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 1: Washington just torched them. They just couldn't stop anything, and 391 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 1: some of the the you know, the bloggers out there 392 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: and some of the stats folks you know, pointed out 393 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: film where they weren't filling gaps, and you know, it 394 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: was just what happened. But the players just not paying 395 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: attention was a bad scheming. I talked to Bucky Brooks, 396 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: one of our own now and Tar Hill and Bucky 397 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 1: Brooks me and Bill was talking. Bill Jones was talking, said, man, 398 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: did you see when the kid ran for thirty seven 399 00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: yards that they had a dime look out there? You know, wait, 400 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 1: a running back ramp for thirty seven yards? You know 401 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,439 Speaker 1: the thirty seven yard TV And they had a dime 402 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 1: lookout there. And so in the NFL, in the NFL, yeah, 403 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: another team running back for NFL team ram for thirty 404 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: yards okay, against the Devils in the game, in the game, 405 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: in a game on in practice in games okay. Anyway, 406 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: before I was ruling interrupted, let me say this right here. 407 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 1: So we was trying to figure out why. But Bucky 408 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: was sending me as he watched the game. He watched 409 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: the whole game over and over. He said that Scott Turner, 410 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator for the Redskins, was was going two 411 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: tights early in the game and that kind of and 412 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: then it was kind of catching the ball, so they 413 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: kind of spooked off the Devon's a coordinator. Instead of 414 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: him trying to match up every time and have a 415 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 1: possibility betterday of being late, he just went dime the 416 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: rest of the game. And once they stayed in dime 417 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: and they started, it was gonna stay in dime. Then 418 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,199 Speaker 1: that option that that that that that became a big option, 419 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: the way they was running the ball vertically running and 420 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: ratify gut there's because we was we was weak there. 421 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: So uh, you know, Jess, it's not a big thing 422 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: that they did it because a lot of teams have 423 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 1: done it to us. But we just can't match up 424 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 1: defensively when we have good tight ends and like you say, Jess, 425 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 1: backs coming out of the backfield, we don't have the 426 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: high bred players that linebacker to be able to cover 427 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: effectively and then be able to defend the run when 428 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: they do come. So until we get that guy guys 429 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: to do the right thing, this is what you can expect. 430 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: And this is why I go back to my point 431 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: and in part one of my audio book that I 432 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 1: did the other day, the gospel the gospel. There you go, 433 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: the football gospel. You hit, you hit it right on 434 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: the head and mad. And this is why you can't 435 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 1: fully put on the blame to Mike McCarthy, because the 436 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: players on this roster are not equipped and built for 437 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,719 Speaker 1: the NFL that we live in today. These are the 438 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 1: guys that they hoped. They took a gamble and they 439 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: hoped that Jalen Smith could be what he once was 440 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: at Notre Dame pre knee injury, and they lost. Not 441 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: only did they take a gamble with him the draft, 442 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: they had the audacity to double down on their bed 443 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: and give him a contract and they lost. They lost, 444 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 1: and they don't have anyone. And today's NFL, your tight 445 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 1: ends are more athletic, your running backs are more versatile. 446 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: Nate just told you they saw something where they couldn't change. 447 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: They They didn't have the studs to say, you know what, 448 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: leave our linebackers on the field, so we can still 449 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 1: fill the gaps for the running for the running game. 450 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: But also when these backs get out of the backfield, 451 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: your Gibsons and you know the Gibson types, they can 452 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:10,439 Speaker 1: still cover them the same. We have one type of player, 453 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: and we have one hitch ponies one one trick ponies, 454 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: and the trick that they do aren't even effective. See, 455 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 1: we can't fill up the gaps and cover with our linebackers, 456 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 1: so we're forced to now go dime with dbs who 457 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: have to make a decision. Am I going to take 458 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 1: on a block and spill this running back? Am I 459 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 1: gonna step up and tackle this running back? Or am 460 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: I gonna run into this block and stick like blue? 461 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: And you saw that happen in the second half of 462 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 1: the game. This is why I keep saying that Mike 463 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,959 Speaker 1: needs an opportunity to put guys in position because we 464 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: don't have the dogs. We don't have the horses to 465 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: run the new NFL race with running backs who can 466 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: run up the gut and running backs who will motion out, 467 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: who will split out and will run routes on you, Nate, 468 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: you just you just explained it perfectly of why we 469 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: struggle because we don't have the players to stop, not 470 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,199 Speaker 1: even in our own division, not Miles Sanders. When when 471 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: Miles Sanders gets fully healthy and say Quon Barkley and 472 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: the Gibson Kinner and in Washington, well, those guys like 473 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: this is our division. This is a team that we 474 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: have to play two times each team two times a year. 475 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: That's six games out of the season that we have 476 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: to play that Right now, we don't have the defensive 477 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 1: equipment to really go after those guys. You gotta get 478 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 1: players in here who who are like you want running 479 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 1: back to be able to do more. Cool, you gotta 480 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: have defensive players who are able to do more as well, 481 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: and we don't have them. Let let me ask you. 482 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: This brings up in point in one particular defensive player 483 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about, and that that's Alden Smith. 484 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: He when we signed him, it was kind of a 485 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 1: shot in the dark and take, you know, just to 486 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: let's see what happens. And he came out of the 487 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: gate just gangbusters. In his first three games, he had 488 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: four sacks, twenty tackles, three tackles for locks lost, six 489 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: quarterback hits. Since then, in his last eight games, he's 490 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: had one sack, twenty four tackles, two tackles for lost, 491 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: and five quarterback hits. So is this a guy that 492 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 1: you thought you you think so? We thought we might 493 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: get more out of him after that great start. Now 494 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 1: it seems to settle down, I wondered is this Are 495 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: they scheming him? Are they just blocking him better? Or 496 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: is he hit a wall? Or I was gonna say, 497 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,360 Speaker 1: there's two things. There's two things. This guy hasn't played 498 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,880 Speaker 1: in five years, so he's hitting like he's basically what 499 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 1: a rookie coming into the league would be because he 500 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: hasn't played in five years, So he's hitting that kind 501 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: of that proverbial rookie wall. Right. The second thing is 502 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: they got film on him. Now. See before they didn't 503 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: have film on him from five years ago. You gotta 504 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: go five years back to find film on him. And 505 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: now that they got film on him, not only him, 506 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: but how he has to play within this scheme and 507 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 1: the players are around him. See when when the Niners 508 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: were kind of really doing their thing, they had other 509 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: guys around him. That was that enabled him to be free, 510 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: that enabled him to go and do what he was 511 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: doing before. Yes, immense amount of talent, but he had 512 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: other guys around him who was opening things up for 513 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: him to be more successful. So now that they have 514 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: film on what alder Smith is in this defense with 515 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: the players around him, they're saying, you know what, we'll 516 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: take our chances with going one on one with Nevill 517 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: Gallimore or someone like that with our center, and we'll 518 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: just bump everybody outside to those other guys and double 519 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: team them and make them have to work even harder 520 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: to get, you know, to get what they gotta get. 521 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: Before you know, he was getting to one on one coverage, 522 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: there wasn't much film on him. It was kind of 523 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: like surprising some guys because they haven't seen him in 524 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: a long time. So his moves and stuff like that, 525 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: the quickness. But now that they got film and he's 526 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: kind of hitting that proverbial wall, you know, you're starting 527 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: to see it kind of level out a little bit, 528 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: and he'll be better than that year. You know, he'll 529 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: be better because he, like you said, Jess, you talked 530 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: about this earlier, is the weight. He will be a jet. 531 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: He will find that weight. Now he's like, Okay, this 532 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: is maybe a little bit too heavy. Let me get 533 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: a little bit of this off for me, so I 534 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: won't hit that wall like it's stay effective the whole year. 535 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: You know, But I just think, you know, I knew that. Okay, 536 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: he'll probably come out and have a few sacks, get 537 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: everybody hyped up, and then they'll figure him out. They've 538 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: figured him out, and so now next year he'll be 539 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: a little bit better. If he's a part of this program, 540 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: he'll be he'll be he'll be a lot better, and 541 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: he'll figure out his weight. Then he will figure out 542 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: what he can can he cannot do with his weight. 543 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: That was my next question. I mean, this is a 544 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: one year flyer, he's a free agent. Are you willing 545 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: to invest on investing in him next year? Pay a 546 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: bigger deal to a thirty two year old whatever he is. 547 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: I don't know what the price is. I don't know 548 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: what the going raid is this year because this is 549 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: gonna be a wild year, So I don't know what 550 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: the raid is. You know, for him and guys of 551 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: his m give will I will give Alden Smith. I 552 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: will give him a respectable offer, and I'm not begging 553 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: him to take it. I'm gonna say here's I'm gonna say, 554 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: here's where you are, okay, Son, you were five years 555 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: out of football and you had a problem and no 556 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: one touched you. We gave you a chance, right, and 557 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna offer you something respectable and competitive, and if 558 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: you turn it down, so be it. Because I still 559 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: have guys that I want to see, I still got 560 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: the Bradley and eyes of the world that I want 561 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 1: to see that I have I drafted. I got some 562 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 1: more guys that I will probably pick up in the 563 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 1: draft this year as well. So here's what we're gonna do. 564 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: If you want to be a part of this, If 565 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: you want to stay with coach Tom Sula and that's 566 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: your guy, cool, We're gonna give you. It's gonna be 567 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: respectable and it may not be market price, it may 568 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: not be competitive to what other people may be giving you, 569 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: but just remember they didn't give you a shot. And 570 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:10,719 Speaker 1: I'm speaking on the both sides of my mouth. I'm 571 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: speaking from a team perspective and I'm gonna speak from 572 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: a player perspective. Now, all that may say, the hell 573 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: with y'all, I don't I don't owe you anything. You 574 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 1: gave me a shot and I worked myself into this position. 575 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: But if I'm the Cowboys, if I'm speaking from a 576 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: businessman's position, I give him a respectable offer, and it's 577 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: literally take it or leave it. We're not going to 578 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: beg you to play for us. We gave you an opportunity. 579 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 1: We did you a favor by putting you on our 580 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 1: football team when no one else would touch you because 581 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 1: of your coach. If he's still here and you want 582 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 1: to be a part of this, here's the offer we 583 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: got taken to leave it. But if not, then I say, 584 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: you know what, thank you. We appreciate you, Bradley and 585 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: I and whoever else this year number two for you, 586 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 1: young fella.

But we'll see a better guy 597 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: next year if he's here, a great, great thing, Jess. 598 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 1: I'll go with you one hundred percent on that.

A couple 655 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 1: of questions, One, um, do you think he should bring 656 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 1: him back? And they just need to rest the kid 657 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,760 Speaker 1: and let him get healthy for next year, And two 658 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 1: I guess this. I didn't realize the Cowboys had not 659 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: played a single game yet. With all four of their 660 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 1: starting quarterbacks Digs A, Woozier, Brown, and Lewis. How big 661 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 1: of an impact do you think that's had on the 662 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:19,279 Speaker 1: team this year? You actually should Digs come back if 663 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: he just got if he if he just feels uncomfortable, 664 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 1: he shouldn't play. If he just I mean, if if 665 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:31,320 Speaker 1: he wake up a saint, he shouldn't play. I'm being honest, 666 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,280 Speaker 1: That's how I feel. I'm right there with you. There's nothing, 667 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,919 Speaker 1: there's nothing more he should come back for this year. 668 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 1: I mean, he got the development. Let me say this 669 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 1: right here, go back and watch. He wasn't developing when 670 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,239 Speaker 1: he when he was playing in the sense of he 671 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,240 Speaker 1: was developing. He was developing because he was getting the reps, 672 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 1: but he was getting torched, like he was getting whooped 673 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 1: a lot of the time because they were matching him 674 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 1: up with number one wide receiver. So to me, it's 675 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 1: it's there's nothing else that he has to prove or 676 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: he can do to health this defense. I think for 677 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,719 Speaker 1: him is get one hundred percent healthy, Like take the 678 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 1: long road to get back healthy. Don't take the I'm 679 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,319 Speaker 1: coming back in six to eight weeks getting healthy. No no, no, 680 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: take take the normal person route to getting back healthy again. 681 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,320 Speaker 1: Don't take the NFL professional athlete route where a doctor 682 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,120 Speaker 1: would say, hey, you just broke your this or you 683 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 1: just hurt that. Yeah, that's gonna be two months for 684 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,919 Speaker 1: you to get back ready to go, not the hey 685 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,760 Speaker 1: you're back in three weeks. Right, there's two different levels 686 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 1: of how things work. You have the normal person recovery time, 687 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,959 Speaker 1: or you got the NFL player pro athlete recovery time. 688 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,800 Speaker 1: Take the take the regular person recovery time. Get yourself 689 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 1: fully healthy and going, because what you don't want is 690 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,759 Speaker 1: a setback. I don't want to set back to where 691 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:57,319 Speaker 1: now he can't give me his all this offices and 692 00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 1: because he's rehabbing, or he's half step, or he just 693 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,879 Speaker 1: can't go because of whatever. Give get fully healthy so 694 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 1: that when we get into this off season. Because to me, whenever, 695 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 1: whenever the green light is given for off season activities, 696 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,120 Speaker 1: this cowboy team has to hit a one hundred miles 697 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,319 Speaker 1: an hour. There's no easing into this, like you have to. 698 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,479 Speaker 1: You gotta go one hundred miles an hour. You gotta 699 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,399 Speaker 1: get back into the mix of things and were really 700 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 1: and I need all guys who are healthy to go 701 00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,080 Speaker 1: So if I got a guy who's trying to make 702 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 1: it back, that tells me that that's not a full recovery. 703 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 1: That's recovery enough to play, but not quite there. So 704 00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 1: for me, there's nothing that that that that Digs can 705 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:42,720 Speaker 1: do that wants me to get him back on the field. 706 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:47,840 Speaker 1: Uh this this season, Okay, let's walk through this. The 707 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 1: La La Rams. He had to face day number one receiver, 708 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 1: he had to play face Julio Jones, and Julio Jones 709 00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,879 Speaker 1: dropped two touchdowns on to remember. He had to face 710 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 1: the kid who he ran down with the Seattle Seahawks. 711 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:05,920 Speaker 1: He had to face the Cleveland Browns when they were 712 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,719 Speaker 1: healthy at wide receiver. New York was okay, and then 713 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,160 Speaker 1: he had and then he had to come out and 714 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 1: face uh, the kid at the Cardinals. Brother, let me 715 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 1: tell you something there's cannot tell me. And see I'm 716 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:27,240 Speaker 1: a realist. You cannot tell me that the more he played, 717 00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 1: the more experience he gonna get. Not not what was 718 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:36,760 Speaker 1: happening to him in those Fivecies games. You have success 719 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,319 Speaker 1: and you learn from that success. You have a few 720 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,640 Speaker 1: breakdowns and you learn where you went wrong. But when 721 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:49,160 Speaker 1: every game it's just a mask case of disorder. What 722 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,839 Speaker 1: do you learn You can't learn in mass chaos. Man, 723 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,480 Speaker 1: you can't learn in mask chaos. You cannot. I promise 724 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,759 Speaker 1: you that was too much coming at their kid. If 725 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,200 Speaker 1: he just wake up and say, man, my foot itching, 726 00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:06,840 Speaker 1: don't play. This also surprised me a little bit, a 727 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:08,799 Speaker 1: little bit as well. Pro football focused. You know, they 728 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,440 Speaker 1: great players, and some people, you know, it's arbitrary, some 729 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,120 Speaker 1: people don't buy into it. But they have graded one 730 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five NFL cornerbacks or excuse me, digs 731 00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,800 Speaker 1: Is ranked fifty sixth out of those one hundred and 732 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 1: twenty five, Ouzier seventy first, Brown one hundred and six, 733 00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 1: and Lewis one hundred and twelve. I mean, you don't 734 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 1: even have none of your quarterbacks are in the top fifty. 735 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,239 Speaker 1: Have they really been that bad? And is it? Are 736 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,960 Speaker 1: they just because they're not getting pressure they're big and hanging, 737 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,319 Speaker 1: you know, left out to dry, or is this a 738 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: position that just needs an overhaul. I think it's fifty 739 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 1: percent both. I think it's fifty percent both because when 740 00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:52,440 Speaker 1: these kids, d Understand has told me one time, he say, Nate, 741 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 1: he say, you know what, I was a good corner bay. 742 00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,400 Speaker 1: But I always made share had some rushmen up front, 743 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,279 Speaker 1: you know, so don't one or two times I may 744 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,080 Speaker 1: have to cover an extra two or three ticks. I 745 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:08,160 Speaker 1: can do it, but I cannot see myself covering six 746 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:12,879 Speaker 1: seconds every down. I ain't no corn in the world 747 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 1: can do that. Man, not six five to six seconds 748 00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:20,359 Speaker 1: every down. Quarterbacks drop back, look around, be getting ready 749 00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 1: to run, stop and throw a ball. That's four and 750 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,040 Speaker 1: a half five seconds. Man, when quarterbacks are trying to 751 00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,760 Speaker 1: get the ball out around two point four at the worst, 752 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 1: our guys are averaging getting it out at three point two. 753 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:39,440 Speaker 1: Versus us that that's too much. That's too much. You know, 754 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,680 Speaker 1: these guys can go and be good backups, a solid 755 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:46,279 Speaker 1: starter somewhere else where. It's a pass rush. We've seen 756 00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:53,839 Speaker 1: it happen. Well, that is kind of off the off 757 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,800 Speaker 1: the subject a little bit, but it brings up a 758 00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,160 Speaker 1: question I wanted to ask you, Jesse, when you get 759 00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:02,399 Speaker 1: in those situations as a receiver where you have those 760 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 1: long you know the past, there's no pass rush, so 761 00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,600 Speaker 1: you know your quarterback's got time. Well, you know that. 762 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 1: I would assume most routes aren't gonna last five seconds, 763 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 1: So what are you doing at that point? Once the 764 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,680 Speaker 1: route you've done, your route, is it basically a street ball? 765 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 1: After that, you're just going wherever they's finding an opening. Well, 766 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,000 Speaker 1: once I come into a game knowing that my quarterback 767 00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,279 Speaker 1: is going to have time, is now I'm able to 768 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 1: work him Like now I don't have to rush things. 769 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,440 Speaker 1: Now I'm able to set them up. You know, give 770 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 1: him a little little extract the line of scrimmage, you know, 771 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,080 Speaker 1: maybe give him a little been way through my route 772 00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:35,799 Speaker 1: because I'm not having to make sure that I got 773 00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,279 Speaker 1: to get in and get out because it's because we 774 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,120 Speaker 1: don't have no we don't have no no offensive line 775 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 1: to block them. So I'm able to do so many 776 00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 1: different things. But once the play breakdown, there's there's indicators. Right, 777 00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,600 Speaker 1: So if a play breaks down and the quarterback begins 778 00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,759 Speaker 1: to roll, let's say he rolls right to your side. Uh, 779 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,520 Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of first you know, the deepest 780 00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,480 Speaker 1: guy goes deep, next guy comes down, and the guy 781 00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,759 Speaker 1: it's like almost a three tier thing. You're trying to 782 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,439 Speaker 1: find your way in that three tier thing. So it's 783 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 1: not it looks like street ball, but everybody has kind 784 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:10,759 Speaker 1: of an assignment of where your route win. You may go. 785 00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:12,960 Speaker 1: You may now have the vertical, the next guy may 786 00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 1: now have coming to that mid range, and then you 787 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,600 Speaker 1: want to have that safety valve coming back towards the quarterback. 788 00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:22,640 Speaker 1: So it's it's organized chaos. But you understand within the 789 00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,440 Speaker 1: route concept, if this player were to break down, where 790 00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,840 Speaker 1: do I go and how do I find and opening 791 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 1: for the quarterback because it has to be decisive. What 792 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,000 Speaker 1: you don't want to do is, you know, you act 793 00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,520 Speaker 1: like you're gonna go up and you stop and the 794 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:36,480 Speaker 1: quarterback throws it because you're like you're going up and 795 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,640 Speaker 1: now there's a quarterback standing back there because he thought 796 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,080 Speaker 1: he was going up and intercept shit or vice versa. 797 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,040 Speaker 1: You know, you think like you're gonna, you know, come 798 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,200 Speaker 1: down and then turn and go up and he throws 799 00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:47,000 Speaker 1: it like you're gonna come down, and the quarterback standing 800 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,440 Speaker 1: there because he went with you coming down. So it's 801 00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,840 Speaker 1: organized chaos. And you know within that whole route concept, 802 00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:54,879 Speaker 1: who has the deepest route, who has the mid level, 803 00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:56,440 Speaker 1: and who has the kind of the you know, to 804 00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,359 Speaker 1: come back to the quarterback type situation, you know who's 805 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,240 Speaker 1: great at the it's something you know who's great as 806 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,239 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson with his little guy. I can't think it 807 00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 1: was his name from k State him and that guy. Yes, sir, 808 00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:11,719 Speaker 1: they are great. They are great. You find a guy 809 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 1: that can link to you like that, that's sweet.
