Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Hey, thank you boys. What's up? Man?
Speaker 1: You know what we're on this show. We're already we've
Speaker 1: already kind of written this season off. If you want
Speaker 1: to just talk about speak for yourself. You always on
Speaker 1: the neck. If you want to go ahead and start
Speaker 1: talking about draft broad us or like what direction? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What draft? What? Guys? When we talk about that draft,
Speaker 1: let's just I do Oh wait wait wait, I got
Speaker 1: about thirty five guys I've looked at so far, so
Speaker 1: good shape. I have a draft RelA Waite, Am, I
Speaker 1: doing a magazine for you again this year, Draft magazine.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about this. Okay, what all are you doing
Speaker 1: around the draft? You're doing a draft show that's got
Speaker 1: a draft. Yeah, we go next Thursday. We have a
Speaker 1: draft show starts to eleven, am. Thank you for bringing
Speaker 1: that up, Shannon. We'll have draft shows when we go
Speaker 1: to the Senior Bowl every day and then every day
Speaker 1: at the Combine. So a lot of draft shows for
Speaker 1: you guys when a Senior Bowl. Senior Bowl is on
Speaker 1: the twenty third of January, so we're twenty six right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that you get in there. Yeah, they have to
Speaker 1: check in and all that. But yeah, well we'll be
Speaker 1: there Senior Bowl in in uh, having shows. And then
Speaker 1: Kurt once again asked me to write a or help
Speaker 1: write a magazine. We're gonna do a magazine, Draft magazine.
Speaker 1: Tell us about the draft magazine, Kurt, Well, it's a
Speaker 1: lot of most of it's Brian's work. I mean he
Speaker 1: does all these the scattering reports, and I think how
Speaker 1: many players in that thing. I think we had scattering
Speaker 1: reports over one hundred last year, over four hundred listed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: got a lot of names and we actually need to
Speaker 1: sit down and kind of yeah, I'm already kind of
Speaker 1: working on that. Yeah, get your feedback on what you
Speaker 1: would like to do. It's always pretty good. But no,
Speaker 1: hopefully and then again we'll have Dame Burglar on once again.
Speaker 1: You know, he's a big ball of knowledge, and then
Speaker 1: Dave Hellman will help out. So yeah, we'll look forward
Speaker 1: to it. It's always a fun time a year. You
Speaker 1: hate when the season's over, but you gotta move on.
Speaker 1: You got to say, Okay, what needs to be fixed,
Speaker 1: what needs to be done, go ahead with your draft question. Well,
Speaker 1: just as a scout, how much emphasis, more or less
Speaker 1: whatever it's placed on bowl games? You know what it's
Speaker 1: you have guys that will go get one last look
Speaker 1: at a guy live. I know with Ohio State and
Speaker 1: USC players to night, sir, there'll be a plenty of
Speaker 1: cowboy scouts on that field pregame kind of looking at
Speaker 1: body types and you know, kind of talking to coaches
Speaker 1: and all that. But yeah, I think the bowl games
Speaker 1: are important. The problem is now with bowl games, these
Speaker 1: kids have figured out and I don't blame him one bit,
Speaker 1: especially if they're a high draft pick. After what happened
Speaker 1: with Jalen Smith. You're finding kids not wanting to play
Speaker 1: in these bowl games at the end unless it's for
Speaker 1: a playoff situation or a national championship situation. And quite honestly,
Speaker 1: I cannot blame them one bit. Well, yeah, what would
Speaker 1: you have done back in the day, Nate, would you played? Yeah?
Speaker 1: If Nate, if Nate, if you were a top, if
Speaker 1: you the Notre Dame guard, if you're the Notre Dame.
Speaker 1: Really yeah, I think what you owe? You're a team
Speaker 1: you bye bye bye, you be junior seeing you've basically
Speaker 1: given everything, you got everything you've got right, Uh you know,
Speaker 1: now that's that's the reality of fantasy. Like I tall
Speaker 1: people fantasy. Oh man, we we we we we signed
Speaker 1: you a for scholarship, but you don't tell the world
Speaker 1: as a year to year of schottarship. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: A lot of coaches come in, is that's true. I
Speaker 1: don't want you you you can transfer whatever you want.
Speaker 1: It's a year to your scholarship. And that that's the
Speaker 1: sad thing about everybody trying to make themselves look well,
Speaker 1: but what do you how do you feel? Well, obviously
Speaker 1: how you think about it. But like for most of
Speaker 1: those guys on that team. This is their super Bowl,
Speaker 1: this is their last shot. The selfish. Don't you say, hey,
Speaker 1: this guy's being selfish. I have a chance to wind.
Speaker 1: We'll have a chance to ask you this question. Right here,
Speaker 1: you have a daughter, our son both Okay, what if
Speaker 1: your son is a let's use your daughter. That's what
Speaker 1: if she's a genius. What if she goes to Stanford
Speaker 1: at sixteen years old and then she get twenty. By
Speaker 1: time she gets twenty, uh, she's she's in a research
Speaker 1: group and y'all about to break something big. But somebody
Speaker 1: will say, we'll give you two million year and you
Speaker 1: can work for us. What would you tell your daughter? Well,
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you. I'm just saying from a
Speaker 1: call me selfish from a public from a public perception,
Speaker 1: that's just public perception. That's what That's how that got
Speaker 1: see that, that's that that that's the problem. We've taught
Speaker 1: these kids to be selfish all day life, and then
Speaker 1: when they do the ultimate selfish, we want to we
Speaker 1: want to say, hey, what about your teammate? But you
Speaker 1: never thought about a teammates. Yeah, but this is a
Speaker 1: recent occurrence to my experience, my personal experience playing an
Speaker 1: l sho. I played seven games offensively where I got
Speaker 1: offensive snaps O other times I was deep snapper and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. I yeah, exactly. I mean it was
Speaker 1: like I never I always appreciated the fact that the
Speaker 1: Bowl games and experiences I got because of other teammates.
Speaker 1: You know, if and if in a day and age
Speaker 1: we didn't skip to go you know, but if that
Speaker 1: happened to me today, I would be so grateful for
Speaker 1: the experiences I got for those with those teammates, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't It wouldn't bother me at all. Now you're in
Speaker 1: a situation where coaches wins and losses, maybe in jobs
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, or having a winning season. But
Speaker 1: you got to understand, though that there's some give and
Speaker 1: take here with these programs as far as the kids
Speaker 1: in the program. I mean a lot of these coaches
Speaker 1: are millionaires because of the kids in the program. And
Speaker 1: you're sitting there thinking, gosh, well, you know that geist
Speaker 1: kid at LSU running back. I mean, I need him that,
Speaker 1: you know, I need him to play. I want to win.
Speaker 1: But you got to realize though that to get us
Speaker 1: to this point, he was a big, big part of that.
Speaker 1: And I don't I don't fault anybody for making a
Speaker 1: decision that way. Because what it has always amazed me
Speaker 1: about the NCAA. They never bring out the straight truth.
Speaker 1: But you think Texas A and M should have said, well, coach,
Speaker 1: fulfill your promises at Florida State and once you get through. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I don't care about the college or the coaches,
Speaker 1: it's the teammates. Okay, what about that? I never what
Speaker 1: about the coach that has recruited all those kids to
Speaker 1: Florida State and he take off the Texas A and
Speaker 1: M from notably more money. It's not a better program.
Speaker 1: It might be working. Were trying to be selective and
Speaker 1: it always come down to the later. Wow, the players
Speaker 1: should do this. Uh what do you think about your teammates?
Speaker 1: But nobody thinks the coach can lead an league. The
Speaker 1: trainers can lead, but the player can't leave, especially to
Speaker 1: better him on herself. The player can never lead to
Speaker 1: better themselves. For decades, this hasn't happened. Now you're seeing
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years. I just I never
Speaker 1: I would never have a problem. I would never. No,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't and I don't necessarily either. I just think
Speaker 1: from public perception talking so damn much. You do over
Speaker 1: to talk more in the last two minutes, and you
Speaker 1: have last year. One thing about it, one thing I
Speaker 1: love about him. He gonna defend his point of view.
Speaker 1: But I understand what he's saying. But is having teammates
Speaker 1: like that again, a guy that didn't play all the
Speaker 1: time and better you backing up this guy and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you you're in the biggest stage of
Speaker 1: your life. I don't want to play. Come on back.
Speaker 1: Yeah I don't. I don't want to block. I think
Speaker 1: to running back from you think to run it back.
Speaker 1: Derrick Thomas is not fun to block. Come back, Karen
Speaker 1: blocked Derek Thomas here at Alabama. Now, I would thank you.
Speaker 1: From a teammate standpoint, you would be happy for that guy. No,
Speaker 1: I always going to the league and you're like, you
Speaker 1: know what, brother, there's there's guys today. And a matter
Speaker 1: of fact, I sent a text message to one of
Speaker 1: my former teammates that played in this league for a
Speaker 1: long time. Just nice to hear from him. This This
Speaker 1: is I last played it down in nineteen eighty six
Speaker 1: and January of nineteen eighty seven. You know, I mean,
Speaker 1: these are guys, these are like brothers to me. And
Speaker 1: then I'm always happy when guys do well, you know,
Speaker 1: teammates was because again I didn't mean when I handed
Speaker 1: in my uniform at the end of the day, Crypmin
Speaker 1: Stepp didn't have to wash it. You know, they could
Speaker 1: just hand hanging back up on the hook and you
Speaker 1: know they've been okay for the next game. You know,
Speaker 1: some of these guys, you know, gay body parts out
Speaker 1: there so that I could get a nice experience at
Speaker 1: a Sugar Bowl or Orange Bowl or one of those places.
Speaker 1: So no, I always I'll always support I just you
Speaker 1: know what, and I I look at it just coaches.
Speaker 1: Some coaches are walking to your house. Yeah, some coaches
Speaker 1: are walking to your house and say you the program
Speaker 1: and tell you know what. I'm not saying that your
Speaker 1: kid is gonna play in the NFL, but if he had,
Speaker 1: but we have this amount of scouts, I mean, some
Speaker 1: coaches to sail you own your Oh, they do that
Speaker 1: invisibility of your kid at my program. If he's everything
Speaker 1: that we think he's gonna be. Now you settling this
Speaker 1: dream of NFL here it comes the nail. The thing
Speaker 1: about nowadays and this is my experience was at TCU
Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven. Work in the football ops
Speaker 1: are a media guide was not really called a media guy.
Speaker 1: It's called a recruiting guide. It was called because what
Speaker 1: we did is, you know, you have a lot there.
Speaker 1: There might be ten pages dedicated to what j Nate's
Speaker 1: just talking about guys that have played in the NFL.
Speaker 1: The experiences, trust me, Ohio State, US State, they got
Speaker 1: them all, they got them all. Hey, everybody that's in
Speaker 1: the NFL has got their name up on a ploque there.
Speaker 1: And when you walk in there and look at that,
Speaker 1: or you got to Nebraska one of those places, you're going,
Speaker 1: oh my god, they got a lot of pro players.
Speaker 1: Now they don't have they don't have pictures of guys
Speaker 1: we just signed up. Yeah, it's all the pro and
Speaker 1: it ain't some guy like me. They just got his degree. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean they're hey, they they got they got one.
Speaker 1: They got one little picture of all of us to graduated. Yea,
Speaker 1: our caps and gowns. But there's only one little picture
Speaker 1: as compared to all the all Americans and all sec
Speaker 1: and guys playing in the NFL. Trust me, not eighty
Speaker 1: thousand people ain't going to a math math test thing
Speaker 1: or a debate. They're going to they're going to watch football.
Speaker 1: So to answer you a question, me, Abrods have any
Speaker 1: regrets about teammates of that's interesting to hear and I'm
Speaker 1: I find that interesting. I'm glad to hear that as
Speaker 1: teammates that that it didn't bother. It means that you
Speaker 1: guys you played with, means so much. It just man,
Speaker 1: it means I mean, he they had a reunion for
Speaker 1: their twenty fifth super Bowl team, the twenty fifth anniversary
Speaker 1: super Bowl team. I'm sure you had. I mean seeing
Speaker 1: all those guys again. Some of them looked heavy, some
Speaker 1: of them look good something I mean, but everybody hue.
Speaker 1: But but the thing about it is they all told stories.
Speaker 1: They all told stories on each other and stuff. And
Speaker 1: that's something you never you never ever ever forget that,
Speaker 1: never forget. It was interesting that Jalen said he would
Speaker 1: do it over again. Didn't That is so unique. He
Speaker 1: is so his experience and Notre Dame was special. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he is, you, Jalen. Here's the difference. The other part,
Speaker 1: he's all playing and making money in the league. If
Speaker 1: that would have ended his career, and he wouldn't. But
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, though he's making a lot, he's
Speaker 1: making a lot less money than he You would have
Speaker 1: had to have drafted him where Ezekiel Elliott and Jalen
Speaker 1: Ramsey and Joey bos and those guys were picked. You
Speaker 1: would have had to pick him that high. So his
Speaker 1: Zekiel Elliott is making a lot of money. And and
Speaker 1: and it's not to say Jalen's not making money because
Speaker 1: again you you know, it depends on you where you are.
Speaker 1: But he his injury lost him millions. This dude is
Speaker 1: just this seems fine. I can talk about Jalen with like,
Speaker 1: I ain't got no comment, man, This dude is so
Speaker 1: different than than than a whole lot of people. Man.
Speaker 1: He to mention him, especial when he comes to stuff
Speaker 1: like playing the game. I never believe somebody asked me
Speaker 1: to give him a grade of his season on Twitter
Speaker 1: at game and a plus and they're like, hey plus.
Speaker 1: I never thought he'd play it down. Yeah think about that.
Speaker 1: I mean that's me or just this year ever? Wow? Ever?
Speaker 1: I mean I was so anti Jalen Smith being drafted.
Speaker 1: When did they draft him with round? It was a
Speaker 1: second round? Play around? Yeah, same draft is Zeke, see
Speaker 1: to me, this is where this is where you sit
Speaker 1: there and you're like, you know, I mean I heard
Speaker 1: nothing but negative things about the surgery and the doctor
Speaker 1: Cooper did. Doctor Cooper's brilliant surgeon. I mean he could
Speaker 1: fix He obviously got Jalen Smith to play. And I
Speaker 1: think about the sixteen games and there's a lot of us.
Speaker 1: I mean me, like I said, I I'm the first
Speaker 1: guy to raise my hand of saying Jalen Smith shouldn't
Speaker 1: be here. Least prove me wrong. What'd you think of
Speaker 1: his comment that he feels elite again? He doesn't look
Speaker 1: quite elite when he when he was playing at Notre Dame.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, that was an elite football player. He's he's
Speaker 1: seeing the game better though. That's that was a problem early.
Speaker 1: He was so wrapped up, and I don't think it
Speaker 1: was all the medical stuff. I think it was more
Speaker 1: about just just getting back on horse and down block.
Speaker 1: You know, I've got to do this, you know. Way
Speaker 1: just mean when they took him out of the lineup,
Speaker 1: it kind of gave him a breath of fresh air
Speaker 1: again that he could say, Okay, what am I doing wrong?
Speaker 1: And he figured it out. You think he's gonna continue
Speaker 1: to get better. Yeah, you talked to the trainers and
Speaker 1: the doctors and every They were kind of thinking that
Speaker 1: twenty and eighteen was going to be his year. They
Speaker 1: were thinking that two years removed that he was going
Speaker 1: to be that was gonna be this year. I hope
Speaker 1: they're right. I really do Nates right. He's such a
Speaker 1: great kid. He always had his face. There's nothing fake
Speaker 1: or phony and no offense to NFL player's name, but
Speaker 1: there's a lot of fake and phony n players. You mean,
Speaker 1: they were they were ross. They will tell you, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm a man of God, and then the next player
Speaker 1: their MF and you're coming off the field, you know. So,
Speaker 1: I mean he is a genuine person. Is a fake? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a genuine person. And I think that's why you
Speaker 1: pull for him, not just because of what he's gone through,
Speaker 1: but because he's a good person. It's one of those
Speaker 1: things that you like, God, I wish I was that good.
Speaker 1: I wish I was that kind of a person instead
Speaker 1: of being a stupid guy I am sometimes, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean he's he's a legitimate guy. Real quick, before
Speaker 1: you go no, no no, I mean, I'll say for a
Speaker 1: little bit. I'm sorry. I mean, if you want to
Speaker 1: talk Eagles, we'll talk Eagles, or you want to keep
Speaker 1: talking to talk anything, Yeah, go ahead. Look, God, Kirk,
Speaker 1: shut up today already together. But it's the it's the
Speaker 1: question everybody's asking. I mean, why not play the young guys.
Speaker 1: You think Garrett is kind of blowing smoke. No, I
Speaker 1: think that this is where Jason Garrett is trying to
Speaker 1: be consistent throughout his approach. If you remember a game
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago with Romo and all those guys,
Speaker 1: they were in a game in Washington at the end
Speaker 1: of the year and didn't have to do I mean,
Speaker 1: everything was kind of locked in. They were going to
Speaker 1: have to go to Green Bay, you know, they were
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and stuff, and they they played their
Speaker 1: starters into the third quarter. It was I mean, it
Speaker 1: was a game where it was a game where des
Speaker 1: Bryant caught the ball on the screen and went like
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, they you're just saying, okay, pull them, Okay,
Speaker 1: pull them, okay, pull them. Wow, it's halftime here, and Nate,
Speaker 1: what do you think about the adjustments? Well, back to
Speaker 1: the game, Okay, pull him and he just kept playing them,
Speaker 1: and I think this is where you see, this is
Speaker 1: the consistency of Jason Garrett. This is where I can
Speaker 1: see the I don't think he ever wants to put
Speaker 1: his team in a situation where they're not playing the game,
Speaker 1: where they're not playing to win, right, And you know
Speaker 1: last year that's what he preaches that And last year,
Speaker 1: did they make some adjustments? Dak played what a series
Speaker 1: or two and all that. I mean, they might make
Speaker 1: some adjustment. I'm just gonna tell you, guys, talking to
Speaker 1: some people, the starters have been practicing all week. Dez
Speaker 1: Bryant was on the field practice in the day. Now
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley has not been on the field practicing, you know,
Speaker 1: but their starters are practicing. The guys. He's absolutely right.
Speaker 1: The guys that are healthy that can play are on
Speaker 1: the field practicing. And he's gonna go to Philadelphia and
Speaker 1: try and win a football game. Now, can he incorporate
Speaker 1: some young guys along the way. I think we see
Speaker 1: the young guys, that's the young guys in the secondary
Speaker 1: start so they'll play. Well, we'll see young guys. We've
Speaker 1: seen the young guest. But do you think it's overcompensating
Speaker 1: for two thousand and seven. No, they were thirteen and
Speaker 1: three and they didn't do anything and then they lost
Speaker 1: to the Giants. No, not at all. No, it was okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's I think I think they played at Washington. It
Speaker 1: was a rainy game. Who is that beard? Who is
Speaker 1: that talking? Do you recognize the voice? Thanks to Sir
Speaker 1: Douglas Paraclow. Okay, okay, okay, I see that's to me,
Speaker 1: And that's a good question. But I think that this
Speaker 1: is who Garrett is. I think he I think it's
Speaker 1: about the blue it's about the blue longsleeve shirt and
Speaker 1: about the blue shorts, and it's about the blue hoodie,
Speaker 1: and it's about them. It's it's what we do. This
Speaker 1: is what we do. We play football. And whether that's
Speaker 1: now the question is gonna come up if all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, you know, number four drops back and gets
Speaker 1: hit in the back of the head and is out
Speaker 1: of the game, you know, and then well, why did
Speaker 1: you risk why did you what? You know, that's a
Speaker 1: question he'll have to answer. But he'll say, we're football players.
Speaker 1: We play football. That's what we do. And so I
Speaker 1: don't think he ever wants to go back and have
Speaker 1: to say, and someone can question, well, in a meaningless
Speaker 1: game last year, you didn't try, you didn't play the guys.
Speaker 1: I don't think he ever wants to be that guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because well there's some teams. Yeah, there's some teams that
Speaker 1: like if you're in the playoffs, sitting in if you know,
Speaker 1: like in Kansas City, they're not they're playing mahomes. You know,
Speaker 1: it looks like men Menon is playing it. Men is
Speaker 1: playing at the rams this week as they're taking golf out.
Speaker 1: So I mean, I can understand. I would love to
Speaker 1: see him, you know, do what he has to do.
Speaker 1: But I also understand and correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: Former player, super Bowl champion player, correct. You know, the players,
Speaker 1: the coaches, the front office. There's only sixteen of these
Speaker 1: and they want and they play him that they play, Hey,
Speaker 1: we're gonn let's go win. Let's go win. Whereas the
Speaker 1: media guy now that I am become, has said, why,
Speaker 1: h don't be that don't be that guy. Hey, Dion
Speaker 1: Sanders said that while he played business decisions, and like
Speaker 1: what I said, The thing, the thing is, each team
Speaker 1: brings on a different set of circumstances. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: quite sure see Jimmy was very protective of Emmy. Emmett
Speaker 1: was our baby. Yeah, appreciate even Troy will give you
Speaker 1: a series or two as em will be just building
Speaker 1: at all. You ain't playing boy, that's it. So uh,
Speaker 1: it just depends on a guy that Mike will be
Speaker 1: out out of the quo the first series of so so.
Speaker 1: But our offensive line, we it's like they did access
Speaker 1: the only we're gonna play A nine. I think the
Speaker 1: only substitute on the offensive line that you might see
Speaker 1: this week, and maybe that Joe Looney might jump in,
Speaker 1: but I've heard of the whole offensive line practice. The
Speaker 1: guys that could practice. The only only one that was
Speaker 1: different was at right tackle that they were looking at
Speaker 1: substituting Chads Green and also with with Lyle Collins. Why
Speaker 1: would they do that, Well, I'm just saying that they
Speaker 1: were gonna Letle Collins played. If something were to happen
Speaker 1: where they said, okay, we need to get him out,
Speaker 1: then that then Chad's Green was gonna immediately at right tack,
Speaker 1: I immediately put Cooper Russian if that happened. See, that's
Speaker 1: that's the that's the thing you're having to worry about, right,
Speaker 1: But you don't want to put Cooper Rushi in with
Speaker 1: an experience, He'll put Colby. Now, let me let me
Speaker 1: ask you this. And this is a theory that Mickey
Speaker 1: came up with, and I and I like what Mickey
Speaker 1: said here and it makes a lot of sense. I
Speaker 1: don't always agree with Mickey, but I'll agree with him
Speaker 1: on this. Could this be a situation where they're not
Speaker 1: getting Cooper Rush and he reps and they're gonna play
Speaker 1: it like a game that if Dak prescott because usually
Speaker 1: during the week he doesn't get reps. Usually he doesn't,
Speaker 1: he has to if he plays, he'd have to play
Speaker 1: like a normal week. Where is this a situation where
Speaker 1: all of a sudden during the game, second middle the
Speaker 1: second quarter, Jason Garrett walks over to Cooper Rush and says,
Speaker 1: Dak's out during the game. You know, is this is this?
Speaker 1: Are they testing? Are they are they testing Cooper Rush
Speaker 1: in this game? As can he come into a game
Speaker 1: where it's twenty two degrees and move the offense without
Speaker 1: without taking reps? No, I'm just I'm asking. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm asking. I mean that that's mind has been blown.
Speaker 1: That's a cruel, That's cruel. That's cruel. That's but does
Speaker 1: he get reps during the week in week four or
Speaker 1: week six or week eight or week can nate again,
Speaker 1: you've played a lot of cruel man, that that's that's
Speaker 1: not right. I mean you you Okay, if if if
Speaker 1: my hogs up front or the normal Hall normal Hawks, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll go for that. Yeah, but you don't have maybe
Speaker 1: maybe I go, yeah, Turans, I gonna play's gonna start
Speaker 1: at left tackle. Okay, but if but if if I
Speaker 1: got a mismatch line, that ain't that ain't no man,
Speaker 1: let this guy at least no wow, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: Koba Rush is valuable because he is the back up.
Speaker 1: He is very very you play, do you know whether
Speaker 1: he can play or not giving him every opportunity to
Speaker 1: prove that he can by giving him some reps. Okay, don't,
Speaker 1: don't do him like that. Don't. By the time I
Speaker 1: send him in, Fletcher Cox may not be on the field. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but they hold him. Baby base second team defensive line
Speaker 1: is better than our second team offensive line. I see
Speaker 1: the point of that, because you want that's the way
Speaker 1: he would normally again and situation, you want to see
Speaker 1: if he can handle that he's leave him. Wow. Wow, Wow,
Speaker 1: I would like for wow, you get four Wiles in
Speaker 1: a row? Stuff? Right, For sixteen weeks, I've sat in
Speaker 1: that room and something will happen in the game and
Speaker 1: I get the wow, and he'll go, what was what
Speaker 1: was the carry? That was a minus twenty one? Wow?
Speaker 1: You get four of them in a row? Though, That's
Speaker 1: that's big time. He would when he wows you that
Speaker 1: you mean something bad. There's different levels a while there. Wow.
Speaker 1: We've kept this kid for sixteen weeks. We've let u
Speaker 1: more go, We've let other guys pass through the waive
Speaker 1: of Wile. I just would like to give him every
Speaker 1: rep that he can get. I mean, would you say
Speaker 1: wow if he comes in the middle of the second
Speaker 1: quarter with no with no reps this week, if if
Speaker 1: you're sitting there with me, and if it ain't I,
Speaker 1: if it ain't the normal Hogs in there, you're gonna
Speaker 1: get more in the whole. You're gonna get something else soon.
Speaker 1: All right, check out, everybody makes sure you check out.
Speaker 1: If he goes in the game, normal Hogs not in,
Speaker 1: then check out at our halftime show this week coming
Speaker 1: up on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. Ever to me to me,
Speaker 1: to me, brought us to me. Every player that you
Speaker 1: have on this roster that's finishing the season is very
Speaker 1: very important. Sure they are, Uh to me, Cooper Rush
Speaker 1: is very very important because you you we made him
Speaker 1: what backup game? He's our back, He's he's our guy.
Speaker 1: So give him every rep because he is a young
Speaker 1: guy still he Wow, give him time not to be nervous.
Speaker 1: Do you give him time not to be worried about
Speaker 1: you don't want to you don't want to be Okay,
Speaker 1: you just say throw him in a coal he won't,
Speaker 1: he won't think about it. He'd just go play. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, is that kind of what Cooper Rush did
Speaker 1: to make the team. Yeah, that's that's that's what he did.
Speaker 1: But he's what he knew. He was gonna get some run. Man.
Speaker 1: Oh lord, maybe times he get a good sample side.
Speaker 1: Sometimes the backup comes in, plays great for that game
Speaker 1: and then he does nothing for the next three he
Speaker 1: has to start. Wow, we've think Coober Rush is a
Speaker 1: little bit better then I know him a backup? What? Okay,
Speaker 1: you know what, let me go back with what's your
Speaker 1: take on Cooper Rush as a quarterback? I like what
Speaker 1: I saw in Cooper Rush in the preseason. I like
Speaker 1: the I like the toughness, like the ability to stand
Speaker 1: in there. I think he led the team. They go
Speaker 1: Jason Jason Cooper Rush gonna play, Hey, coach, Coach Garrett
Speaker 1: is Cooper Rush gonna play this week? That means I
Speaker 1: gotta go. I mean you do gotta go. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: we can't get calls until you get back. Yeah. That
Speaker 1: goes to commercial breaks too. We had to keep talking
Speaker 1: about Tommy Johns. You know we'll read it. So who
Speaker 1: is uh? Who is out? Do we know who was out?
Speaker 1: They just missing out the Oh wow, it's lengthy. Out
Speaker 1: for sure? Is David Irving the concussion? Right? And Benson
Speaker 1: on this questionable as Richard ashe he was limited today.
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley, he's been out with the flu all week again, right,
Speaker 1: did he DMP this week? He did not play. Say
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna be an inactive. That means Ryan Switzers
Speaker 1: number ten, Ryan Switzer, Lyle Collins questionable, he was limited today. Okay,
Speaker 1: fifty fifty on that one. As far as I told
Speaker 1: you about that, yeah, Rod Smith was questionable, but he
Speaker 1: did not practice the last two day. Did not practice
Speaker 1: the day I think he might be an out too.
Speaker 1: Also excuse back, and I guess he's beat a little
Speaker 1: bit of who is out backs. They're gonna go with
Speaker 1: two zeke and forty six to get him rung at
Speaker 1: forty one could play a little back. Yeah, yeah, that's right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And let's see for the Eagles. Out is Jalen Mills cornerback?
Speaker 1: Oh he's out? No, no, no, no no no, read the line.
Speaker 1: Brandon graham defensive Brandon Grahams had an ankle. Right, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's good. That helps your tackle. Jalen Mills is question
Speaker 1: He practiced full Okay, Kurt, and I'm gonna stop letting
Speaker 1: you read this thing. Joe, you just skipped over a
Speaker 1: glaring Joe Walker is a linebacker, a glaring admission overlooked
Speaker 1: a big thing. Look at the last gall and the
Speaker 1: Cowboys roster. They said it. Terrence Williams, Yeah he didn't
Speaker 1: practice today. It's not injury lead. He's gonna play. He
Speaker 1: still didn't practice. That's a big deal. Right on a
Speaker 1: Fridays it out or questionable, huh, he's not listed as
Speaker 1: either one. I think he plays him, but chanting good
Speaker 1: job of trying to make something out of make something matter,
Speaker 1: and I want to see Noah Brown and I want
Speaker 1: to see Daz Noah Brown and Switzer keep an eye
Speaker 1: on lance Lenore. Oh yeah, I know that. I know
Speaker 1: that Jason was talking about It's no guarantee Lanceloor got
Speaker 1: the call up. But I will say this about lancelor
Speaker 1: from what I've learned about him, he is and I've
Speaker 1: said this on some shows, he's the one guy that's
Speaker 1: a practice squad player that gets actual work with the
Speaker 1: first team. He will get he will get two three
Speaker 1: plays a practice, and then this week he's gotten a
Speaker 1: lot more because of the situation with Dez and Terrence
Speaker 1: and some other stuff. Now, he was in some special
Speaker 1: team situations in preseason, right right. Yeah, it was a disaster. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but yeah, they kept giving him a chance. Yeah right,
Speaker 1: But this is a guy that this is a guy
Speaker 1: that I'm hearing some really really positive things about. Can
Speaker 1: you learn rounds? Oh yeah, he's got some quickness to him,
Speaker 1: he does. He can get open a small college guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah he is. I'm trying to But you don't have
Speaker 1: to worry about Will McClay. Will McClay, I think we'll
Speaker 1: say what do I got liberty on the mind and
Speaker 1: one of those. Can someone can look it up. I'm
Speaker 1: sure it's one of the Hey man, wow, Western ill, oh, Western,
Speaker 1: I knew it was as Liberty, but yeah, Liberty, give
Speaker 1: me deaf ax Baylor. Yeah, but anyway, keep an eye
Speaker 1: keep an eye on Lanceling door, Keep an eye on
Speaker 1: Lanceling door. Okay with the scam, yeah cool? Wow, man,
Speaker 1: you just go throw a kid at Coole. Hey man, hey,
Speaker 1: hey you want hey, just figure it? Figure what out.
Speaker 1: Let's kind of got thirty seven sacks, and they got
Speaker 1: five through Fletcher, they got five through Bennett, and they
Speaker 1: got nine and a half through uh Barnett, Yeah Barnett. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Now that's what twenty sacks and they got like seventeen
Speaker 1: other sacks from guys. That's backups. What are you saying?
Speaker 1: You don't want this kid to play in the game today.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is give him some reps. Give it.
Speaker 1: What does that matter? Just give him some reps so
Speaker 1: he give him some reps. Give it? Wow? Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's been on needs you them all. You brought bad news.
Speaker 1: I will say, you know you see trying to help
Speaker 1: you with the inactives. Put him in a hat. I
Speaker 1: don't know, this is one of those because you've got men,
Speaker 1: You've got guys that you know, like I said, the
Speaker 1: sick guys and stuff. This will be one of those
Speaker 1: days where you really say, Okay, well who this who
Speaker 1: that kind of a thing. I mean it really when
Speaker 1: we do the pre games, like going down to the
Speaker 1: saying who that, who that going? Who that? Who that
Speaker 1: gonna play? Who that who? Butler gonna be active again.
Speaker 1: I think Butler's gonna be okay for this game. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean I've kind of hearing some positive things about
Speaker 1: him the way he's practiced the last couple of days.
Speaker 1: So probably the last game for him. You know, if
Speaker 1: you look at it, he's his contract is up, he's
Speaker 1: you know, if he gets an opportunity, maybe he'll go
Speaker 1: someplace where he's used some more, not you know here.
Speaker 1: I think it's been a little bit of a struggle
Speaker 1: for him. Yeah, but we'll see what else Kurt got
Speaker 1: anything else for brought us before we let him go? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I like you when you feisty. I like him
Speaker 1: when he talks. Hell yeah, wow, hard to talk around
Speaker 1: you guys. What he said, no, no, because every time
Speaker 1: if he brang up a point, he will defend it.
Speaker 1: He he never been shy about that. You may have
Speaker 1: to you know, but ask you guys a question, yes
Speaker 1: that what do you think about all the comments from
Speaker 1: the locker room with des Bryant? I was, I was
Speaker 1: gonna ask you say that all the time somebody brings
Speaker 1: something up. Well, well you took my question. I was,
Speaker 1: what do you guys think think about that? As a
Speaker 1: as a former former player, when you see a teammate
Speaker 1: go strong like that, is which part of him comments?
Speaker 1: You didn't that I'm talking about the scheme, Yeah, just
Speaker 1: talking about in general. What you know is that something
Speaker 1: as a as a teammate you want too late for me?
Speaker 1: Those those are things you could said another time. It's
Speaker 1: not a time and place for Yeah. Yeah, not now,
Speaker 1: not not with one game left. Nah. This something you
Speaker 1: should have went to your coaches about. This, something you
Speaker 1: should have talked to mister Jones before about. I have
Speaker 1: a question. There isn't that. He says he's going to
Speaker 1: talk to mister Jones about that. He's already talked to
Speaker 1: Jason first. Okay, but they've talked to Jason. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: why is your player? I mean, as as if I'm Jason.
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is my problem. Why is my player
Speaker 1: going above me to my owner? But general manager? General manager? Yeah, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: the general manager puts together the team. Yeah, but he's
Speaker 1: talking about schemes and stuff. Well is that? Well? The
Speaker 1: general manager ultimately hires and fires the coaches. Again, if
Speaker 1: I'm the coach, I don't like that. I mean, is
Speaker 1: it that happened on normal But you're dealing with a coach.
Speaker 1: Are you're dealing with a coach as an open door
Speaker 1: policy and you're dealing with a general manager owner that
Speaker 1: as an open door policy? Does that happen on other teams?
Speaker 1: What an upset player go above his coach to his generalman? Well,
Speaker 1: songs as long as the players, it's no, as long
Speaker 1: as the player has talked to the head coach first,
Speaker 1: which he has, they see chans not gonna answer this question.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you you you you as a player,
Speaker 1: you know, I've always I never got I never got
Speaker 1: past my position coach, right, so you know because now
Speaker 1: I wasn't that guy. Yeah I wasn't. You have to
Speaker 1: have something to you, skins on the wall, Yeah, you
Speaker 1: got to have some moxy to you to get to
Speaker 1: get to the general manager, which your problem about what
Speaker 1: you think is obasially going to bitch to Jerry Jones
Speaker 1: is not the same as Dez Bryant. Yeah yeah, and see,
Speaker 1: uh whether Jerry says something to the head coach or
Speaker 1: not would be up to Jerry. But the bottom line
Speaker 1: is just right here, we've played a whole season. Why yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean now they brought brought up your your money.
Speaker 1: Jarry hasn't spoken to you. Are the head coach, all
Speaker 1: the GM, which is Jared, are the vice gem which
Speaker 1: is uh Stephen Steva. Nobody's talking to you about that
Speaker 1: only the media. Don't let the media. Don't let the
Speaker 1: media make you go out of character, right, you know,
Speaker 1: I just I would have been like, no comment, because
Speaker 1: what if they don't go to him for a reduction,
Speaker 1: What if they don't step to him for that? What
Speaker 1: if they say, well the scheme, you know, maybe they
Speaker 1: come to that conclusion on their own. Hey, well maybe
Speaker 1: we need to go a little more bunch, a little
Speaker 1: more rub routs. You never know, But don't don't don't
Speaker 1: like like like, uh, my head coach, tell us Son
Speaker 1: you got a problem with me, talk to me? Because
Speaker 1: the other way, you may back me in a corner
Speaker 1: and you may not like it. Well, yeah, it undermines.
Speaker 1: I would think the head coach is authoritive. Now, if
Speaker 1: it's contracts stuff, maybe yeah, but yeah, this is where
Speaker 1: the you know, the conversation is going to be about. Okay,
Speaker 1: if they come to him and say we want to
Speaker 1: reduce your salary, you know, then it's like, well, let
Speaker 1: me tell you why. Yeah, I'm having the struggles I am. Okay.
Speaker 1: I think that I think the owner and the general
Speaker 1: manager is a is a guy. One of his best
Speaker 1: traits I've ever experienced from a guy is his ability
Speaker 1: to listen and sometimes to a fault, right, you know.
Speaker 1: But I think that Dez Bryant will have his day
Speaker 1: with the owner general manager and be able to say, now,
Speaker 1: you know, but the fact of it, he did go
Speaker 1: to his coach. You know. That's that's what you have
Speaker 1: to do first. And here's the here's my take on it.
Speaker 1: This is this is me my thoughts, and I have
Speaker 1: no insight to this, but I think I think a
Speaker 1: lot of times Dez has a hard time he saying
Speaker 1: what he conveying what his thoughts are, and he's very
Speaker 1: passionate and if you get him in the wrong place
Speaker 1: at the wrong time, you ask him the right or
Speaker 1: wrong question or whatever. He thinks of it one way
Speaker 1: and it comes out another way. Yeah, So I think
Speaker 1: maybe it was just you know, I care when it happened.
Speaker 1: I don't. They caught him off guard, and I think,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe somebody said something and he's when he
Speaker 1: one thing and he comes out with this, and he
Speaker 1: tried to cover himself when he tried to when he
Speaker 1: saw where it was going, and they said, hey, will
Speaker 1: you take a pay cut? Then he he kind of
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden he hit him like
Speaker 1: his pride hit him. Hell, you know, the video is
Speaker 1: a little bit lighter than I mean, you just read
Speaker 1: it. It It looks kind of like hell right, Yeah, on video,
Speaker 1: he's he's a little bit well audio audio. I'll I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you something, brother, And I've never been this guy,
Speaker 1: but except in my house, is have you ever And
Speaker 1: this question I asked people, have you ever in your
Speaker 1: workplace been the man at your position. If you've been
Speaker 1: the man, you making identify what what he said. But
Speaker 1: this is going through I mean, you go from every
Speaker 1: meaningful record as a wide receiver he got either hard
Speaker 1: of So he is the man. So when you he
Speaker 1: set itself off from the media, you started talking the
Speaker 1: media two three weeks ago. So now you've been in
Speaker 1: the report back with the media. But they caught you
Speaker 1: all off God because you that was the last thing
Speaker 1: you thought it was gonna as what why? You what what?
Speaker 1: Because he's the man. He never thought. I remember two
Speaker 1: or three weeks ago when it when my brand, uh Terrence,
Speaker 1: Terrence Williamson went over a hundred yards Uh you know,
Speaker 1: Dad sitting there like, yeah, yeah, y'all have been on
Speaker 1: my board, but really they wanted to ask this same question.
Speaker 1: You ain't did nothing either. Yeah, you get what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So when he got hit with these questions, he was
Speaker 1: called all off God. Now he was called all off
Speaker 1: God for sure, for sure. Do you think that very now, Grant,
Speaker 1: because I meant you talking, say so, do you think
Speaker 1: Dez is getting too much criticism for the way he's
Speaker 1: played this year? I mean I think it. Like two
Speaker 1: three weeks ago, I threw out there on Twitter that
Speaker 1: that he's playing through that knee injury. I didn't know
Speaker 1: how severe. I knew it was pretty I knew it
Speaker 1: was something and it was ten to night. It's and
Speaker 1: he needed a day off. He got it yesterday. Is
Speaker 1: he Is he not the Does Bryant that we'd seen before. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: des Bryant doesn't drop balls at hit his hand. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's not been as inconsistent catching the football. You know
Speaker 1: that's been I think that's the thing people are trying
Speaker 1: to figure out. Why is he so inconsistent? I brought
Speaker 1: out something this morning on our show because we talked
Speaker 1: about Dak and Dez having I want to get your
Speaker 1: guy's opinion. Dak and Does seemed to have some type
Speaker 1: of problems. I mean not problems off the field or anything.
Speaker 1: I mean, but they have connection problems, right, you know,
Speaker 1: not not insane? Was Romo and Roy Williams a good
Speaker 1: combination while he was here? Dat's would say probably not. Yeah,
Speaker 1: looking with your eyes, they wouldn't. He I'm saying, you
Speaker 1: know it happened. You know, they gave they went and
Speaker 1: gave a big pick picks for Roy Williams, gave him
Speaker 1: a huge contract. Him and Romo could never get on
Speaker 1: the social Brady couldn't get on the same page. You
Speaker 1: couldn't do it. Yeah, what what what causes that because
Speaker 1: you had Laurent Robinson that came in here never been
Speaker 1: a good, A great receiver comes in, he catches what
Speaker 1: six seven eleven touchdown jos and gets a big contract
Speaker 1: from from where Jacksonville doesn't play, It doesn't peer drop
Speaker 1: it say, but they were on the same page. How
Speaker 1: does how does that happen? Is it just some people
Speaker 1: have a better some people? Yeah, it's you look at
Speaker 1: some of the all time great combinations. Of course it
Speaker 1: might be about the quarterback. Look what Dan Marino had
Speaker 1: with Mark Duper and Clayton those guys. Look what Look
Speaker 1: what Peyton Manning had with with Marvin Harrison and my
Speaker 1: other guy of eighty seven from Miami. Uh, what's my guy?
Speaker 1: The other guy's name Reggie Wayne. Sometimes you have rapport
Speaker 1: with receiver just because of how your ability. Yeah, Tony Romo,
Speaker 1: we think Tony Romo was a prettydamn good quarterback. Right.
Speaker 1: He couldn't get a ball to Roy Williams to save
Speaker 1: his life. He couldn't. He couldn't. He got to the
Speaker 1: point where Roy, when they said enough enough go away,
Speaker 1: got the point where Romo wouldn't even throw him the ball.
Speaker 1: And you know you'll say, well, that's on Roy. Wait
Speaker 1: you know yeh, see that happens. It happens. Let's not
Speaker 1: forget that the a Romo and I and I'm a
Speaker 1: Romo fan. I mean, I'm a guy, I'm I was
Speaker 1: on the staff that brought him here. I'm I'm the
Speaker 1: guy last year. It's like, hey, they gotta play him,
Speaker 1: gotta see what you got, Gotta play him. They never did. Okay,
Speaker 1: I get it. So I'm not trying to kill Romo here.
Speaker 1: But he was terrible with with Roy Williams as a receiver. Yea,
Speaker 1: never never clicked. That was a huge waste of draft
Speaker 1: assets and money right there. Why do you click with
Speaker 1: Miles Austin. Miles Austin was a free agent, you kid me.
Speaker 1: Miles Austin got paid a ton of money. See, Tony's
Speaker 1: made people money, but he's been able to connect with him.
Speaker 1: He didn't connect it all with Roy Williams. But see,
Speaker 1: we're going through Prescott and days and we're trying. Oh bad,
Speaker 1: that's present, that's not so clear in your mind. But see,
Speaker 1: but but Presscott has only been quarterback for two years.
Speaker 1: We forget that, we forget that. I kind of have
Speaker 1: a hard time laying at all. On does too, because
Speaker 1: all the right receivers are struggling. Let me tell you what.
Speaker 1: And he brought it up. He's talking about scheme. Why
Speaker 1: is Beasley's decline? Why is Roy Williams? I mean, why
Speaker 1: is Terrence Williams declining? Why am I declining? Right? You know,
Speaker 1: you know, if they if they're having a problem, if
Speaker 1: there if if the scheme is too if if the
Speaker 1: if the players are saying the scheme is too easy
Speaker 1: or too the defenses have figured it out. Well, now
Speaker 1: it's on Lenahan and Garrett and them say okay, what
Speaker 1: are we doing wrong? Here is the fact that we
Speaker 1: are we simplistic? And I ask Garrett this question yesterday
Speaker 1: and Nat and you could tell me if I'm right
Speaker 1: or wrong. Sometimes you can't advance your schemes because your
Speaker 1: players aren't smart enough. Tom Landry would agree. Sometimes and
Speaker 1: sometimes your players are too smart that they don't play well.
Speaker 1: That happens too. But sometimes you think, and I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not pointing my favorite dead, but I'm saying I'm
Speaker 1: let me just really if I could. I'm saying, though
Speaker 1: you can't know the thing about it is, though, how
Speaker 1: much can I give my players that they will understand
Speaker 1: or am I giving them too much? Rob Ryan? Where
Speaker 1: they're busting every play and they're making mistakes? You know,
Speaker 1: is that a problem the the don't don't San Diego
Speaker 1: run something similar? Trails parts of what we run San Diego.
Speaker 1: They they totally different. I'm trying to think of the
Speaker 1: oct who the Los Angeles It's a different cat. Yeah.
Speaker 1: My deal is this right here? You have you have
Speaker 1: anxiety football, which the Ford Ninas played. They played they
Speaker 1: played the West Coast, getting the ball to receive as
Speaker 1: quick as possible. Uh, hots and reads are built in.
Speaker 1: You know, you have to be pretty smart to play
Speaker 1: for them because everything is built built in. You don't
Speaker 1: have a blitz period like we do out here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, they know we've watched Shanahan. We've watched Shanahan, dude,
Speaker 1: but what did Shanahan need? You know? A quarterback? Yeah,
Speaker 1: well he was a bag of you know what? Yeah,
Speaker 1: without a quarterback, Ah soud He's got a quarterback that
Speaker 1: can kind of spin it a little bit. Yeah. But
Speaker 1: the the problem with this offense is as people, uh
Speaker 1: begin to understand who you are and what you do
Speaker 1: in certain situations, your execution have to become better your routes. See,
Speaker 1: it's gonna always go back with wide receivers in this offense.
Speaker 1: Now they can change schemes and whatever, but in this offense,
Speaker 1: your routes have to get better, even crisper, and everybody
Speaker 1: has to run this thing in concert. You know, you
Speaker 1: can't never agg I'll never be messing around because it
Speaker 1: is an execution offense. If we look out there and say, hey,
Speaker 1: we got we got the beard on Kurt and ain't
Speaker 1: a way to Kirt can stick the beer, We're gonna
Speaker 1: weigh you out, brothers with all different routes, but you
Speaker 1: are limited to what some of these guys can run.
Speaker 1: That was That was a question that I wanted because
Speaker 1: when Garrett Um was talking about that, he said that
Speaker 1: a lot of offenses are simple. I mean, that's been
Speaker 1: one of the criticisms. And sure, you just you know
Speaker 1: what's coming and you can't stop it, and that's what
Speaker 1: it was like for the nineties. But does there reach
Speaker 1: a point where you don't have the execution or the players,
Speaker 1: and that's where you got to change. At that point,
Speaker 1: I have to change. So you do have to change
Speaker 1: out to jests, you have to jet, you have to
Speaker 1: put a wrinkle every you have to put a wrinkle
Speaker 1: in even as a different formation. All right, it's a
Speaker 1: run that looks like a pass, a pass that looks
Speaker 1: like a run, you know, but coaches are doing that. Now.
Speaker 1: My question is, and broad as you and aswer this too,
Speaker 1: how much has Pittsburgh changed in the last four years
Speaker 1: with the same offensive coordinator? How much have they changed?
Speaker 1: They're a better running team. They have a better running team.
Speaker 1: But you know, they handed to Bell, They handed to Bell,
Speaker 1: but they've got a receiver on the outside and Brown
Speaker 1: and they got Smith. Schuster is a compliment, Okay, So
Speaker 1: that you're going right, well, I need you to go
Speaker 1: and continue on. Oh sure, because it's about go to
Speaker 1: the name, and I go to the name and I
Speaker 1: received Was that scared somebody for Zeke? So that they
Speaker 1: have the players to keep it simple, where we don't
Speaker 1: have the players to keep it simples, that we're kind
Speaker 1: of out. That's what you just said. Don't be scared.
Speaker 1: Don't ask us just going to completely Yeah, don't ask us.
Speaker 1: And it hadn't been the same players for Roethlisberger. He
Speaker 1: won super bowls with completely different Yeah, but if you
Speaker 1: go over the last two or three years, it's been
Speaker 1: a running game. Been the running game. It's been a
Speaker 1: running game with a so so defense and not so
Speaker 1: great of offensive line. It's still been having a ton
Speaker 1: of your brown and in and out. Was the Bryant
