I have a draft RelA Waite, Am, I 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:17.840 doing a magazine for you again this year, Draft magazine. 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:19.920 Let's talk about this. Okay, what all are you doing 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:22.039 around the draft? You're doing a draft show that's got 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.200 a draft. Yeah, we go next Thursday. We have a 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:26.640 draft show starts to eleven, am. Thank you for bringing 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.600 that up, Shannon. We'll have draft shows when we go 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:31.680 to the Senior Bowl every day and then every day 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:33.480 at the Combine. So a lot of draft shows for 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:36.200 you guys when a Senior Bowl. Senior Bowl is on 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:41.880 the twenty third of January, so we're twenty six right, Yeah, 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:43.360 but that you get in there. Yeah, they have to 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:45.360 check in and all that. But yeah, well we'll be 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:48.680 there Senior Bowl in in uh, having shows. And then 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.400 Kurt once again asked me to write a or help 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:54.560 write a magazine. We're gonna do a magazine, Draft magazine. 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.200 Tell us about the draft magazine, Kurt, Well, it's a 0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:59.280 lot of most of it's Brian's work. I mean he 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:01.760 does all these the scattering reports, and I think how 0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:03.920 many players in that thing. I think we had scattering 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:09.560 reports over one hundred last year, over four hundred listed. Yeah, 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:11.400 got a lot of names and we actually need to 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:13.639 sit down and kind of yeah, I'm already kind of 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:15.600 working on that. Yeah, get your feedback on what you 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:17.560 would like to do. It's always pretty good. But no, 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.520 hopefully and then again we'll have Dame Burglar on once again. 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:22.760 You know, he's a big ball of knowledge, and then 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:25.640 Dave Hellman will help out. So yeah, we'll look forward 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:27.640 to it. It's always a fun time a year. You 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.240 hate when the season's over, but you gotta move on. 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.680 You got to say, Okay, what needs to be fixed, 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:35.200 what needs to be done, go ahead with your draft question. Well, 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:38.640 just as a scout, how much emphasis, more or less 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:42.080 whatever it's placed on bowl games? You know what it's 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:44.880 you have guys that will go get one last look 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.960 at a guy live. I know with Ohio State and 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:50.800 USC players to night, sir, there'll be a plenty of 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:54.440 cowboy scouts on that field pregame kind of looking at 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:57.280 body types and you know, kind of talking to coaches 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.000 and all that. But yeah, I think the bowl games 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:03.440 are important. The problem is now with bowl games, these 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:05.639 kids have figured out and I don't blame him one bit, 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:09.239 especially if they're a high draft pick. After what happened 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.880 with Jalen Smith. You're finding kids not wanting to play 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.080 in these bowl games at the end unless it's for 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:18.800 a playoff situation or a national championship situation. And quite honestly, 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:21.239 I cannot blame them one bit. Well, yeah, what would 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.919 you have done back in the day, Nate, would you played? Yeah? 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.160 If Nate, if Nate, if you were a top, if 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.360 you the Notre Dame guard, if you're the Notre Dame. 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:36.240 Really yeah, I think what you owe? You're a team 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:40.240 you bye bye bye, you be junior seeing you've basically 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:45.440 given everything, you got everything you've got right, Uh you know, 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:48.920 now that's that's the reality of fantasy. Like I tall 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:53.520 people fantasy. Oh man, we we we we we signed 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.920 you a for scholarship, but you don't tell the world 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.160 as a year to year of schottarship. Yeah, that's true. 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:00.800 A lot of coaches come in, is that's true. I 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:02.840 don't want you you you can transfer whatever you want. 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:04.880 It's a year to your scholarship. And that that's the 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.640 sad thing about everybody trying to make themselves look well, 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:10.320 but what do you how do you feel? Well, obviously 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:12.880 how you think about it. But like for most of 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.640 those guys on that team. This is their super Bowl, 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:20.160 this is their last shot. The selfish. Don't you say, hey, 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.799 this guy's being selfish. I have a chance to wind. 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:24.960 We'll have a chance to ask you this question. Right here, 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:27.920 you have a daughter, our son both Okay, what if 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:31.080 your son is a let's use your daughter. That's what 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.880 if she's a genius. What if she goes to Stanford 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:38.280 at sixteen years old and then she get twenty. By 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:41.719 time she gets twenty, uh, she's she's in a research 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.919 group and y'all about to break something big. But somebody 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:46.560 will say, we'll give you two million year and you 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:48.960 can work for us. What would you tell your daughter? Well, 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.440 I don't disagree with you. I'm just saying from a 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:55.720 call me selfish from a public from a public perception, 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:00.560 that's just public perception. That's what That's how that got 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:04.720 see that, that's that that that's the problem. We've taught 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.320 these kids to be selfish all day life, and then 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:09.800 when they do the ultimate selfish, we want to we 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.480 want to say, hey, what about your teammate? But you 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:14.440 never thought about a teammates. Yeah, but this is a 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:18.680 recent occurrence to my experience, my personal experience playing an 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:23.720 l sho. I played seven games offensively where I got 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.039 offensive snaps O other times I was deep snapper and 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:31.000 stuff like that. I yeah, exactly. I mean it was 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:34.320 like I never I always appreciated the fact that the 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:37.520 Bowl games and experiences I got because of other teammates. 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:40.640 You know, if and if in a day and age 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:43.719 we didn't skip to go you know, but if that 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:46.640 happened to me today, I would be so grateful for 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:50.240 the experiences I got for those with those teammates, I 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:53.080 wouldn't It wouldn't bother me at all. Now you're in 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:56.320 a situation where coaches wins and losses, maybe in jobs 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:58.919 and stuff like that, or having a winning season. But 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.560 you got to understand, though that there's some give and 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.560 take here with these programs as far as the kids 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.000 in the program. I mean a lot of these coaches 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:09.600 are millionaires because of the kids in the program. And 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:13.360 you're sitting there thinking, gosh, well, you know that geist 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:16.160 kid at LSU running back. I mean, I need him that, 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:17.680 you know, I need him to play. I want to win. 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:20.880 But you got to realize though that to get us 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:23.159 to this point, he was a big, big part of that. 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.960 And I don't I don't fault anybody for making a 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:29.200 decision that way. Because what it has always amazed me 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:32.440 about the NCAA. They never bring out the straight truth. 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:36.680 But you think Texas A and M should have said, well, coach, 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:41.200 fulfill your promises at Florida State and once you get through. Yeah, 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.279 so I don't care about the college or the coaches, 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:45.960 it's the teammates. Okay, what about that? I never what 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.400 about the coach that has recruited all those kids to 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:50.680 Florida State and he take off the Texas A and 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:54.200 M from notably more money. It's not a better program. 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:58.160 It might be working. Were trying to be selective and 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.880 it always come down to the later. Wow, the players 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.800 should do this. Uh what do you think about your teammates? 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:09.240 But nobody thinks the coach can lead an league. The 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:13.000 trainers can lead, but the player can't leave, especially to 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.680 better him on herself. The player can never lead to 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.640 better themselves. For decades, this hasn't happened. Now you're seeing 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.800 in the last couple of years. I just I never 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.560 I would never have a problem. I would never. No, 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:27.720 I wouldn't and I don't necessarily either. I just think 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:31.640 from public perception talking so damn much. You do over 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:33.480 to talk more in the last two minutes, and you 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:35.960 have last year. One thing about it, one thing I 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.240 love about him. He gonna defend his point of view. 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:42.640 But I understand what he's saying. But is having teammates 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:44.720 like that again, a guy that didn't play all the 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.080 time and better you backing up this guy and all 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:48.760 of a sudden, you you're in the biggest stage of 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:50.920 your life. I don't want to play. Come on back. 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.080 Yeah I don't. I don't want to block. I think 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.400 to running back from you think to run it back. 0:07:56.520 --> 0:08:00.280 Derrick Thomas is not fun to block. Come back, Karen 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:02.800 blocked Derek Thomas here at Alabama. Now, I would thank you. 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:06.000 From a teammate standpoint, you would be happy for that guy. No, 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:07.640 I always going to the league and you're like, you 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:10.960 know what, brother, there's there's guys today. And a matter 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:12.720 of fact, I sent a text message to one of 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:14.640 my former teammates that played in this league for a 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:16.840 long time. Just nice to hear from him. This This 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:20.360 is I last played it down in nineteen eighty six 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.600 and January of nineteen eighty seven. You know, I mean, 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:26.040 these are guys, these are like brothers to me. And 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:29.240 then I'm always happy when guys do well, you know, 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.319 teammates was because again I didn't mean when I handed 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:34.760 in my uniform at the end of the day, Crypmin 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:36.640 Stepp didn't have to wash it. You know, they could 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:38.640 just hand hanging back up on the hook and you 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:40.560 know they've been okay for the next game. You know, 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:43.120 some of these guys, you know, gay body parts out 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:45.920 there so that I could get a nice experience at 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.600 a Sugar Bowl or Orange Bowl or one of those places. 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:54.880 So no, I always I'll always support I just you 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:59.079 know what, and I I look at it just coaches. 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:02.240 Some coaches are walking to your house. Yeah, some coaches 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.239 are walking to your house and say you the program 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.720 and tell you know what.

They're going to they're going to watch football. 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:39.000 So to answer you a question, me, Abrods have any 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:43.200 regrets about teammates of that's interesting to hear and I'm 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:45.160 I find that interesting. I'm glad to hear that as 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.800 teammates that that it didn't bother. It means that you 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.760 guys you played with, means so much. It just man, 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:53.880 it means I mean, he they had a reunion for 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:56.480 their twenty fifth super Bowl team, the twenty fifth anniversary 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.240 super Bowl team. I'm sure you had. I mean seeing 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.640 all those guys again. Some of them looked heavy, some 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:04.720 of them look good something I mean, but everybody hue. 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.040 But but the thing about it is they all told stories. 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:09.160 They all told stories on each other and stuff. And 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.320 that's something you never you never ever ever forget that, 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.200 never forget. It was interesting that Jalen said he would 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:21.320 do it over again. Didn't That is so unique. He 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.200 is so his experience and Notre Dame was special. Yeah, 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:28.240 he is, you, Jalen. Here's the difference. The other part, 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:31.000 he's all playing and making money in the league. If 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:32.600 that would have ended his career, and he wouldn't. But 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:35.439 I'll tell you what, though he's making a lot, he's 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:37.880 making a lot less money than he You would have 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:41.840 had to have drafted him where Ezekiel Elliott and Jalen 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:45.240 Ramsey and Joey bos and those guys were picked. You 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:48.240 would have had to pick him that high. So his 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:52.040 Zekiel Elliott is making a lot of money. And and 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.880 and it's not to say Jalen's not making money because 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:57.800 again you you know, it depends on you where you are. 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:03.480 But he his injury lost him millions. This dude is 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:07.480 just this seems fine. I can talk about Jalen with like, 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:10.319 I ain't got no comment, man, This dude is so 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.360 different than than than a whole lot of people. Man. 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:18.120 He to mention him, especial when he comes to stuff 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:21.120 like playing the game. I never believe somebody asked me 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:23.520 to give him a grade of his season on Twitter 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:26.520 at game and a plus and they're like, hey plus. 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.840 I never thought he'd play it down. Yeah think about that. 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:33.160 I mean that's me or just this year ever? Wow? Ever? 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:37.400 I mean I was so anti Jalen Smith being drafted. 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:39.280 When did they draft him with round? It was a 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:42.600 second round? Play around? Yeah, same draft is Zeke, see 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:44.800 to me, this is where this is where you sit 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.400 there and you're like, you know, I mean I heard 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:50.000 nothing but negative things about the surgery and the doctor 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:53.040 Cooper did. Doctor Cooper's brilliant surgeon. I mean he could 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.800 fix He obviously got Jalen Smith to play. And I 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.560 think about the sixteen games and there's a lot of us. 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:00.680 I mean me, like I said, I I'm the first 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:03.559 guy to raise my hand of saying Jalen Smith shouldn't 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:06.360 be here. Least prove me wrong. What'd you think of 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:10.240 his comment that he feels elite again? He doesn't look 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:14.000 quite elite when he when he was playing at Notre Dame. 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:17.760 Excuse me, that was an elite football player. He's he's 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:21.040 seeing the game better though. That's that was a problem early. 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:23.960 He was so wrapped up, and I don't think it 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.439 was all the medical stuff. I think it was more 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:31.040 about just just getting back on horse and down block. 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:33.480 You know, I've got to do this, you know. Way 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:35.360 just mean when they took him out of the lineup, 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:37.840 it kind of gave him a breath of fresh air 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:40.200 again that he could say, Okay, what am I doing wrong? 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:42.640 And he figured it out. You think he's gonna continue 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.319 to get better. Yeah, you talked to the trainers and 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:47.559 the doctors and every They were kind of thinking that 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.280 twenty and eighteen was going to be his year. They 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:52.360 were thinking that two years removed that he was going 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:54.400 to be that was gonna be this year. I hope 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:56.880 they're right. I really do Nates right. He's such a 0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:00.240 great kid. He always had his face. There's nothing fake 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:03.080 or phony and no offense to NFL player's name, but 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:06.400 there's a lot of fake and phony n players. You mean, 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:09.000 they were they were ross. They will tell you, you know, 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:10.840 I'm a man of God, and then the next player 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:13.160 their MF and you're coming off the field, you know. So, 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:17.080 I mean he is a genuine person. Is a fake? Yeah, 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:20.080 he's a genuine person. And I think that's why you 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:23.240 pull for him, not just because of what he's gone through, 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.440 but because he's a good person. It's one of those 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.360 things that you like, God, I wish I was that good. 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:30.600 I wish I was that kind of a person instead 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:33.440 of being a stupid guy I am sometimes, you know, 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:36.400 I mean he's he's a legitimate guy. Real quick, before 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:37.640 you go no, no no, I mean, I'll say for a 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:39.000 little bit. I'm sorry. I mean, if you want to 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:40.640 talk Eagles, we'll talk Eagles, or you want to keep 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:45.280 talking to talk anything, Yeah, go ahead. Look, God, Kirk, 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:50.000 shut up today already together. But it's the it's the 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:52.880 question everybody's asking. I mean, why not play the young guys. 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.560 You think Garrett is kind of blowing smoke. No, I 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:58.000 think that this is where Jason Garrett is trying to 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:01.400 be consistent throughout his approach. If you remember a game 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:03.640 a couple of years ago with Romo and all those guys, 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:05.520 they were in a game in Washington at the end 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:07.920 of the year and didn't have to do I mean, 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:09.800 everything was kind of locked in. They were going to 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:12.360 have to go to Green Bay, you know, they were 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:16.480 in the playoffs and stuff, and they they played their 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:19.280 starters into the third quarter. It was I mean, it 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:21.640 was a game where it was a game where des 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.000 Bryant caught the ball on the screen and went like 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:28.280 you know, I mean, they you're just saying, okay, pull them, Okay, 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:33.120 pull them, okay, pull them. Wow, it's halftime here, and Nate, 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:35.000 what do you think about the adjustments? Well, back to 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:38.600 the game, Okay, pull him and he just kept playing them, 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:41.440 and I think this is where you see, this is 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:44.440 the consistency of Jason Garrett. This is where I can 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:47.000 see the I don't think he ever wants to put 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:50.160 his team in a situation where they're not playing the game, 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:52.440 where they're not playing to win, right, And you know 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:55.160 last year that's what he preaches that And last year, 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:57.560 did they make some adjustments? Dak played what a series 0:15:57.640 --> 0:15:59.440 or two and all that. I mean, they might make 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:02.200 some adjustment. I'm just gonna tell you, guys, talking to 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:05.840 some people, the starters have been practicing all week. Dez 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:08.240 Bryant was on the field practice in the day. Now 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:11.120 Cole Beasley has not been on the field practicing, you know, 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:14.920 but their starters are practicing. The guys. He's absolutely right. 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:18.480 The guys that are healthy that can play are on 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:21.040 the field practicing. And he's gonna go to Philadelphia and 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:24.000 try and win a football game. Now, can he incorporate 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:26.280 some young guys along the way. I think we see 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:29.040 the young guys, that's the young guys in the secondary 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.160 start so they'll play. Well, we'll see young guys. We've 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:33.920 seen the young guest. But do you think it's overcompensating 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:37.000 for two thousand and seven. No, they were thirteen and 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:39.320 three and they didn't do anything and then they lost 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:42.800 to the Giants. No, not at all. No, it was okay, yeah, 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:45.720 he's I think I think they played at Washington. It 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:48.880 was a rainy game. Who is that beard? Who is 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:53.400 that talking? Do you recognize the voice? Thanks to Sir 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:57.200 Douglas Paraclow. Okay, okay, okay, I see that's to me, 0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:59.280 And that's a good question. But I think that this 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:02.160 is who Garrett is. I think he I think it's 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:05.639 about the blue it's about the blue longsleeve shirt and 0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:08.880 about the blue shorts, and it's about the blue hoodie, 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:11.000 and it's about them. It's it's what we do. This 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:14.280 is what we do. We play football. And whether that's 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:17.399 now the question is gonna come up if all of 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:20.440 a sudden, you know, number four drops back and gets 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:22.200 hit in the back of the head and is out 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:24.560 of the game, you know, and then well, why did 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:26.800 you risk why did you what? You know, that's a 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:30.919 question he'll have to answer. But he'll say, we're football players. 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:33.920 We play football. That's what we do. And so I 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:35.959 don't think he ever wants to go back and have 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.600 to say, and someone can question, well, in a meaningless 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:41.359 game last year, you didn't try, you didn't play the guys. 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:44.320 I don't think he ever wants to be that guy. Yeah, 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:48.600 because well there's some teams. Yeah, there's some teams that 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:50.600 like if you're in the playoffs, sitting in if you know, 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:53.600 like in Kansas City, they're not they're playing mahomes. You know, 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:56.639 it looks like men Menon is playing it. Men is 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:59.680 playing at the rams this week as they're taking golf out. 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:02.760 So I mean, I can understand. I would love to 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:04.639 see him, you know, do what he has to do. 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:08.680 But I also understand and correct me if I'm wrong. 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:12.920 Former player, super Bowl champion player, correct. You know, the players, 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:16.560 the coaches, the front office. There's only sixteen of these 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:19.919 and they want and they play him that they play, Hey, 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:22.320 we're gonn let's go win. Let's go win. Whereas the 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:26.160 media guy now that I am become, has said, why, 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.160 h don't be that don't be that guy. Hey, Dion 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:33.280 Sanders said that while he played business decisions, and like 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:38.000 what I said, The thing, the thing is, each team 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:42.240 brings on a different set of circumstances. You know, I'm 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:47.080 quite sure see Jimmy was very protective of Emmy. Emmett 0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:51.480 was our baby. Yeah, appreciate even Troy will give you 0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:53.920 a series or two as em will be just building 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:57.320 at all. You ain't playing boy, that's it. So uh, 0:18:57.359 --> 0:18:59.280 it just depends on a guy that Mike will be 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:02.159 out out of the quo the first series of so so. 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:07.639 But our offensive line, we it's like they did access 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:10.280 the only we're gonna play A nine. I think the 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.120 only substitute on the offensive line that you might see 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:15.960 this week, and maybe that Joe Looney might jump in, 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:18.840 but I've heard of the whole offensive line practice. The 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:21.600 guys that could practice. The only only one that was 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:25.119 different was at right tackle that they were looking at 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:31.000 substituting Chads Green and also with with Lyle Collins. Why 0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:33.479 would they do that, Well, I'm just saying that they 0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:35.960 were gonna Letle Collins played. If something were to happen 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:37.600 where they said, okay, we need to get him out, 0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:42.680 then that then Chad's Green was gonna immediately at right tack, 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:46.920 I immediately put Cooper Russian if that happened. See, that's 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:48.919 that's the that's the thing you're having to worry about, right, 0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:50.560 But you don't want to put Cooper Rushi in with 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:53.879 an experience, He'll put Colby. Now, let me let me 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:55.800 ask you this. And this is a theory that Mickey 0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:58.160 came up with, and I and I like what Mickey 0:19:58.160 --> 0:19:59.680 said here and it makes a lot of sense. I 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:01.600 don't always agree with Mickey, but I'll agree with him 0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:04.040
