Speaker 1: on there? Sure? Sure? Before next week? Please? I thought

7
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: I made the final roster, but guess not. It took

8
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: us a long time to get our names put on here.

24
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: much closer to Tampa Bay, were that much closer to

25
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: regular season action. I know, I'm excited. I woke up

26
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,280

27
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,160

Speaker 1: The season starts tomorrow for us, all right, So all

29
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: the stuff that we've been talking about on the players Lounge,

30
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: we're going to get to see who's right and who's wrong.

31
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: You know, you know, been on the first game right time. Also,

32
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: fantasy football is starting tomorrow, right who. I'm in a

33
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: few leagues, and uh, I'm just I'm just really excited.

34
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: Every time fantasy football comes around, I can't get sleep.

35
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if I should make a trade, who I

36
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: should start, who I shouldn't. So I'm just I'm a well.

37
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: Um that actually leads me into what I first want

38
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: to talk about. I have a couple of apologies to

39
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: make on this show. Um. My first one is going

40
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: to be to Will Greer just because I think last

41
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: week I got a little out of hand, just a

42
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: little bit, because I think it was more about me

43
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: wanting Cam Newton than it was me not wanting Because

44
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: I am a firm believer, everybody ends up where they're

45
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: supposed to be, So he is supposed to be here,

46
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: is here for a reason. We might not know what

47
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: that is yet, but I am giving him an opportunity.

48
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: I hope he does well if he has a chance

49
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: to play, I hope so Unfortunately, I hope he doesn't

50
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: have a chance to play. Hurt. But my second one

51
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: is actually going to be an apology to you, just

52
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: because you were right, chip Kelly. Chip Kelly did turn

53
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: around the UCLA team because they beat the LSU Tigers

54
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: thirty eight to twenty seven. Did you watch the game?

55
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: I mean listen. I watched it, and um, it was

56
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: very disappointing. Okay, we came out, we started the game right,

57
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: our defense was playing good, We're making some players on offense,

58
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: and then we came out at the halftime and we

59
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: could not figure out how to get ourselves back in

60
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: the game. What happened with Brad Johnson's son out there.

61
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: Yea man, he won the job in the camp. He

62
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: won that quarterback job he did. He did a behind

63
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: that backpass we got with Pat Mahomet. He was Pat Mahomes.

64
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: You know. He couldn't get his feet set. He was

65
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: throwing the ball all over the place. He did not

66
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: look good in that in his first most disappointing part

67
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: about the most disappointing part to me was when things

68
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: start to fall apart, our defense fell apart as well.

69
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: We usually hang our hat on defense, minus the one

70
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: year when we had the best offense in the in

71
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: college football. We usually hang our hat on defense, and

72
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: we have not been able to get back on track

73
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: of being that defense to LSU is no run the

74
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: ball that like, you know against LSU, especially like usually y'all,

75
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: y'all come with it every time Chip Kelly's coming back.

76
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: Yeah no, listen, I did not believe that was going

77
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: to happen. I really we fired our defensive coordinated last year.

78
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: We lost Dave Randa to Baylor, and then we brought

79
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: in Bopelini and that didn't work. So now we're on

80
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: on to the next and we're gonna see if we

81
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: can get this shaken you know better throughout the season.

82
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: But but we'll be back. Yeah, don't worry about the time. Well,

83
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: you guys dropped out of the top twenty five and

84
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: the ap poles, so let's see if you guys could

85
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: get back up there. So we got we got Bama,

86
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 1: we got Floor, we got we got some some teams

87
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: on our schedule. If we beat we'll be How did

88
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: Fresno State? Do you know what? We were playing eleventh

89
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: rank school? Okay, and we in the fourth quarter, we're

90
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: winning the game. So I thought we played well considering

91
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: because we are not ranked, we are not supposed to

92
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: be a good squad, and we were playing the eleventh

93
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: team in college football. And I think they did a

94
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: darn good job. But Ohio State one, And I told

95
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: you I support Okay, Okay, alright, alright, apology accepted like

96
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: a shade. Pol I do you and C for basketball only?

97
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: We gotta you know I have to separate. Yeah, but

98
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: I'm loyal to once I pick them. Those are my

99
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: teams forever. When or lose. Toledo one, tell you that

100
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: right now. And we're about to smack not the name

101
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: next week. Won't win this week? Are you crazy? FS?

102
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: You know. Let me going out like that, Marira Cooper

103
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: has a better chance of being the best receiver in

104
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: the league than y'all doing. Beating two things that's gonna happen.

105
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna beat Notre Dame and a Mark Cooper gonna

106
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: get me fantasy points. Those are two things that is

107
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: gonna happen this year. I'm sorry because I stole. Let's say,

108
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: let's get to Mary Cooper later in the show. I

109
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: want to start the show off with Zach Martin. He

110
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: was placed on COVID protocol this past Sunday. Um Stephen

111
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: Jones said yesterday he still is slightly hopeful that he

112
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: will get to play in the game tomorrow. He said,

113
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: if he has those two negative tests, he's symptom free

114
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: and it goes up till tomorrow, they will put him

115
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: on a plane tomorrow to go to the game. Let

116
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: me tell you ahead his thoughts. Now, let me know

117
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: what this means for the offense. Do you think that

118
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: he possibly will play even though he hasn't practiced all week?

119
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: Where do your thoughts? Let me take Zach Martin playing

120
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: in this game coming up? What's going on? Private jets,

121
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going. He ain't playing in this game,

122
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: all right, he'll be He'll be back for a week two. Now,

123
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: the implications of that to me are huge, because, look,

124
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: Zach Martin to me, is the best offensive lineman we have.

125
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: I know we got Tyren Smith and all that good stuff,

126
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: but Zach Martin is that for show Hall of Fame

127
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: Smith and best officers anyway, Zach Martin is the best

128
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: guy we got. And this defensive line for Tampa Bay,

129
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: they were gonna be a handful even with a healthy

130
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: Zach Martin right there. Now he's out of the game,

131
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: and we gotta figure out ways that we're gonna be

132
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: able to run the ball and pass the ball against

133
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: a bona fide stud of a group. And you got

134
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: the Dominican sue Vida Veya JPP Jack Parry coming out

135
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: Shaq Barry. I'm sorry coming off the edge like that.

136
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: It's gonna be tough. But what we're gonna have to

137
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: do at in my opinion, we're gonna have to lay

138
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: our hat on on Kellen Moore. Here. This is where

139
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: that creativity and that offensive coordinator, his brilliant mind, genius mind,

140
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna have to show right here because We're gonna

141
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: have to be able to run the football. We can't

142
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: just let Dak Prescott sit back there for forty some

143
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: attempts trying to pick apart just this Tampa Bay defense.

144
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: It's just not gonna work that way. We're gonna have

145
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: to find a way to run the ball. And that's

146
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: when that creativity comes. Whether it's counter plays, whether it's

147
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: draw plays, something like that has to happen because we

148
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: can't just beat these guys man on man, bone on

149
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: bone and expect to get some pushing the run game.

150
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: It's just not gonna happen, especially without Zach Martin. So

151
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore, I'm gonna need you to show up there

152
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: saying that. Now we're gonna have to show up. I'm

153
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: gonna play Devil's advocate here. Okay, I'm with Jerry and Stephen.

154
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: All right, if this man gets another negative tests, he

155
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: will be he will be on the private jet. You

156
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: can bet yo, you can bet your last. Then as

157
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 1: soon as they see negative, he's gonna be on some

158
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: g file, some something to get him there as fast

159
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: as possible. He will be suited up and he will

160
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: be playing up on the jet. And you know, not

161
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: even come out of the movies at halftime with all

162
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: of your on came out. He's going to be on

163
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: the field and they will be running right behind him

164
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: for the entire game. It was on top of that. Yeah, listen,

165
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: listen when you're talking about one of the best offensive

166
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: lineman in the league, not just for the Cowboys, the

167
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: best in the league. Yes, if we're going to say

168
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: he's the best, nobody who's lined up on top of

169
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: him because we need to be able to run. We

170
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: also do have We still have Tyren Smith, we still

171
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: have Leo Collins, we still have a good defensive line.

172
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: So we won't be just leading on Zach Martin. But

173
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: I believe that he will be in the game and

174
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: we will be running behind him. Shout out to Zeke

175
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: because he's gonna be making some places. Because it's gonna

176
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: be you know, it's not just via Sue overtop of him.

177
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: You got Devin White Lavante and let me and let

178
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: me get to that. Okay. You know Brent knows Listen,

179
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: in the NFL changes year in a year out because

180
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: a team was good last year and they bring it

181
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: back all the same guys that they had last year,

182
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that they're gonna have the same production as

183
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: they had last year this year. And what we know

184
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: about the league is every team every year focus us

185
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: on getting better. That's we have the NFL Draft because

186
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: teams want to look for positions where they can get better.

187
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: So you can best believe that we and other teams

188
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: in the league have gotten better at those positions. And

189
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: it will look a lot different than it did last

190
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: year for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And I think it's

191
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: gonna start with we won well. To your point, not

192
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: just teams but players get better too. What do you

193
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: guys think about Connor? Do you guys not have enough

194
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: faith in him? I mean he did, he did play

195
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: in eight games last year, and I you know, I

196
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: want to believe that people go to practice and work

197
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: hard and whatever. And he got a little rust knocked

198
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: off last year by playing in those eight games. Six

199
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: of them was because Zach Martin was hurt. So what

200
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: did't you think that or why didn't you want to

201
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: believe that a guy like that could step up in

202
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: a situation if need be? Yes, Tampa Bay had you know,

203
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 1: eight players in the NFL Top one hundred, which I

204
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: don't love lists all the time because again they're basing

205
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: that off of what last year looked like, and we

206
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: hope things change from last year. But the majority of

207
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: those guys were defensive guys for Tampa Bay. Yeah, I'm

208
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: nervous about Connor Williams because you know, to me personally,

209
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: I don't think he has enough bricks in his pocket.

210
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: I don't think he's heavy enough out there. Um, and

211
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: you're going to get these two guys. It just makes

212
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: me nervous. If we were all healthy as a whole

213
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: group and we've been playing, because these guys haven't played

214
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: as a whole group since twenty nineteen. So if there,

215
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: if their chemistry was all rolling together, I'd be like,

216
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 1: all right, we can hide Connor Williams now. But seeing

217
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: as though this this team hasn't had that chemistry, they

218
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: haven't had that continuity and so long, and we might

219
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: not see you know, Zack Martin out there, it's gonna

220
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: be hot, kind of hard to kind of hide a

221
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: Connor Williams from getting exposed. Now, will he be able

222
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: to step up? I'm hoping so, because that's gonna be

223
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: a huge factor in whether we're gonna be able to

224
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: get production out of our offense is if we're gonna

225
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: be able to run the ball or protect Dak Prescott

226
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: behind this old line. So I'm hoping he's productive, but

227
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: he makes me nervous a little. So are we put

228
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: so our starting offensive line will be Tyren Smith yep,

229
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: Connor Williams. That's who I was talking yea if who

230
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: are you? Connor McGovern Yeah, yeah, yeah, and then right

231
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: so be Connor McGovern if um if Zach is out?

232
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, right, and then Leo right because yeah, it's

233
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: as the center. Not sure I believe in any other Conners. Okay, yeah,

234
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that one. Like they like you

235
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: have the opportunity every time you're going to step on

236
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: the field to prove us wrong or what we're saying.

237
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: But as of now, like you said, I think they

238
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: have some really really good talent that will be lined

239
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: up on top of them. It's gonna be hard for

240
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: them to get that movement. That's why I'm really really

241
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: hoping that Zach Martin is available to play in this

242
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: game because I think he's going to bring that leadership

243
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: to the offensive line, and I think our only chance

244
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: of winning is if we have our full, full, full

245
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: strengthful deck of weapons out there, so we can get

246
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: that line of scrimmage move because if we don't, it's

247
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 1: gonna be a long jame price. So you probably you

248
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: might notice better than I do, or Dad, how does

249
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: that protocol? So since he's baxed and all that other stuff,

250
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: is it like he gets who he has to do

251
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 1: five days and within those five days he has to

252
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: have two from what I know, and again it changes

253
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: all the time, So I could be wrong today if

254
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: something that was said tomorrow or yesterday, but he just

255
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: has to have basically in these next forty eight hours,

256
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: he has to have two negative tests and he has

257
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: to be symptom free, so he's test. I believe he

258
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: tested yesterday, so I think he just needs a test today.

259
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: And I don't know what he tested yesterday. He could

260
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: have tested positive yesterday, so they could be waiting on

261
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: a negative test today and a negative test tomorrow morning.

262
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: I'm with Jerious Steve. My fingers are crossed, all right.

263
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: I'm with jerrys Steven Listen only I can only be

264
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: optimistic if I want us to play as well as

265
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna play tomorrow. So my optimism is

266
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: stuck to Jerry and Stevens, and I hope that we

267
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: have Zach Mardon out there. If not, you know, shout

268
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: out the killer more like that. You've got to be creative.

269
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 1: But a passing game, he's gonna have to get it

270
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: out of dak hands quick three step Johns. We can't

271
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: sit there. Let him be lunch for these boys out there.

272
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, Stephen Jones said yesterday too that only three

273
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: players on fifty three plus the practice squad are have

274
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: not started. They're getting vaccinated yet. So hopefully this is

275
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: something that we're not going to have to continue to

276
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: deal with weekend and week out throughout this season. Keys,

277
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: take game, you guys, what are you guys thinking? Man, listen,

278
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. So overall, the number one

279
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: thing we have to do is win the turnover battle.

280
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: We have to take care of the ball and we

281
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: have to take the ball away from the other team,

282
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: which leads me back to when I say we have

283
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: to make those opportunities on those big players when we

284
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: get them. When somebody's carrying the ball loose, you gotta

285
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: go and try to cause that fumble. If Tom Brady

286
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: gets the ball swatted up in the air. We need

287
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: to have somebody there to catch that ball. Like we

288
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: need to make every big play opportunity and maximize it

289
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: when we can, or we don't have a chance. We

290
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: also need to control the line of scrimmage on both

291
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. We need to get some movements

292
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: so we can run the ball with Zeke get Tony

293
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: Pollen in there, give them some yards. And we also

294
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: need to control the rush on the defensive side of

295
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: the ball, rush and cover. They work together so we

296
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: can get that rush, stop the run and Tom Brady

297
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: to have to throw some passes that he doesn't want

298
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: to throw. Then I think we have a better chance

299
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: at winning to make some plays on the ball. I

300
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: think if we do that, we have a very very

301
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: good chance of winning. Yeah. Not we have a very

302
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: good chance to get blown out. Pressure for sure is key.

303
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: Last season Tom Brady had nine interceptions in the five

304
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: losses that they had, so clearly putting that pressure on

305
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: him makes him make those mistakes and that's gonna equal

306
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: hopefully a win for us. Yeah, go out of doubt.

307
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: I think we need to do three things defensively. I

308
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: think it's especially to be able to stop the goat.

309
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: I think we got to limit those big plays. Now,

310
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: that's gonna be huge because these guys boast a trio

311
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: of receivers that you know might be wanted two in

312
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: a league when you got God, when you got Antonio Brown,

313
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: Evans and those boys out there, they're huge receivers. And

314
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: what we know about our corners, they're not the biggest,

315
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: you know, outside of days. We got a lot of

316
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: nickel body type corners out there, So it's gonna be

317
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: a lot of jump balls. I think that's gonna happen

318
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: out there, and we got to be able to limit those.

319
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: If we can limit those and also limit that yak

320
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: because you know what Tom Brady is great that he's

321
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: great at getting the ball out of his hands quick

322
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: and letting his space players do damage out there. So

323
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: we can't let a three to four yard pass turn

324
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: into a fifteen to twenty yard game. That's how we

325
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: ended up getting destroyed last year, and we cannot let

326
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: that happen going forward. And the third thing with defensively,

327
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: we need we need middle pressure. We know that's what

328
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: affects tom Brady. It's not much of the edges because

329
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: he can step up in the pocket with the best

330
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: of him. He has that pocket presence. He's seeing so

331
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: many defenses. He knows where his guys are supposed to be.

332
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: So we need to get that upfront pressure. That's how

333
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: those guys back, you know when when he was with

334
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots, and that's how La used to beat in

335
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: with the Rams. They used to come in with Aaron

336
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: Donald and put all that pressure up the middle. And

337
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna have to do. But we don't

338
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: have another Gallum. We don't have an level Gallimore. We

339
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: need guys like Osa. I don't want to I don't

340
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: want to destroy his last names. I'm just gonna call

341
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: him Osa. We need him to go and step up.

342
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: Maybe Brent Bohana or Brent Urban Bohannah, those guys either

343
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: step up and get that front middle pressure on Tom

344
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: if we want to distract him from any type of

345
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: passing game. Now, those are gonna be some hard things

346
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: to do offensively. Hey, we're just gonna have to eat

347
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: off the line and y'all gonna have to come together.

348
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: Get that chemistry going. Dak do what he got to

349
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: do out there. Let these receivers eat because we got

350
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: options we can match them, you know, offensively for offense,

351
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: we can match them. My worry about is the defense

352
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: and how we're gonna get pressure on this guy and

353
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: how we're gonna limit those backlash. I'll tell you, okay,

354
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. Let me know the secret, because my

355
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: man DQ, Okay, he has figured some things out with

356
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: my man eleven. If you watch that Texans game and

357
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: you see Michael Parsons lined up over the center trying

358
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: to confuse the count for that offensive line, that's just

359
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: the beginning of the stuff that Dan Quinn's gonna be

360
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: doing with like Michael Parsons and Randy Gregory, He's gonna

361
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: draw up some stuff where you can get some pressure

362
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: in the middle. You might see d Law rushing on

363
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: from a three technique. You have no idea what you're

364
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: gonna see from DQ, but I'll guarantee you he's gonna

365
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: have some creative stuff ready for a guy like Tom

366
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: Brady because he knows you can't sit back there and

367
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: let Tom Brady read your defense. He knows better than anybody.

368
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: He knows. He don't let than anybody twice though, yeah, yeah,

369
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: you know, you know he knows twice. He he knows

370
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: and winning efforts he knows, and losing efforts. And let

371
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: me tell you something, they win the Super Bowl if

372
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: my man Pete Carroll doesn't give the ball to try

373
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: to Tawson instead of give it to Marson Wentz. So

374
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: he took that away from dan Quinn. But back on that,

375
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: dan Quinn will have us figured out. He will he

376
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: will have figured out stuff figured out for our defensive

377
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: players to curate some pressure up the middle because everybody

378
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: knows it's harder on Tom Brady when he has to

379
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: move in and out of the pocket. This is very simple.

380
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: But do you think the mind game of the numbers

381
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 1: this year, of you know, having Jalen Smith and Parsons

382
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: in these low jersey numbers, because Tom Brady was the

383
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: first one to come out and say this is bull

384
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: like we I don't like this, Like this is people

385
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: aren't going to know who to block, who to go

386
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: like nothing like that. Do you think that that because

387
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: this is going to be really the first game that

388
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: people have their jersey numbers and we're gonna see it,

389
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: do you think that that's gonna play into the situation?

390
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: Would listen, this is gonna sound really really bad, but

391
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: I think some of the players that change their number

392
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: won't be on the feel that much anyways. I think

393
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: you're going to see forty two. I think you're gonna

394
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: see Levin. I think the only change that he's going

395
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: to really have to worry about is my man digs

396
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: on the outside. So I don't think it's going to

397
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: be that much for Tom. I think he was he

398
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: was trying to bring up the topic, but I don't

399
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 1: think that's the problem that he's going to have to

400
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: worry about. He's a veteran guy. He knows where guys

401
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: are trying to line up. He doesn't even need to

402
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: know Jersey numbers for him to call out who's gonna

403
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: be the mic, who's gonna be the will, who the

404
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: block Randy? Like, he doesn't need that, right, So I

405
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: don't think that's gonna be an issue for Tom. Yeah,

406
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna with you a hundred percent on that one.

407
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: I think it would be. It's just kind of annoyed

408
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: him a little bit, Like, man, I gotta know this

409
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: guy number seven. I think it was just a little

410
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: bit annoying for him. Below this guy's been in the

411
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: league twenty two years. I mean, he he pretty much

412
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: knows every defense at the back of his hand. Dogs

413
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: don't like to learn the new tricks. But speaking of

414
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: young guys really quick, I know you guys talked most

415
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: sleep about or we've talked most sleep about the line.

416
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: But I'm really excited to see what the secondary does.

417
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: Like obviously, I think, like you said, these receivers are

418
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: the biggest, the baddest, the fastest, you know, all this

419
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 1: kind of stuff for Tampa. So we have a young

420
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: receiving or young secondary cores, and I feel like these

421
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: guys are going to really have to show up, you

422
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like they're really gonna have show up.

423
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about some of our key matchups after

424
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: the break. We're going to go to break right now,

425
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,439

Speaker 1: stadium dot com. So I was talking a little bit

474
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: about the secondary. I got a little ahead of myself

475
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: and started getting excited about, you know, the matchups. But

476
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: what do you guys think about this secondary? And I

477
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: feel like they have to kind of come together and

478
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: work as one in this time if they're going to

479
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 1: do anything this season. But what do you think about

480
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: them just going into this game and into the rest

481
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: of the season? Got it? You know what? I think

482
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: this is a huge test for them, you know, in

483
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: the first game of the season, and I'm really not

484
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: going to judge them based off what happens a Thursday night. Um,

485
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: I think that it'll be a good learning a learning

486
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: lesson for them if they if they do play bad,

487
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: and then if they do play well, then they have

488
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: something really huge to build off of. Right, they get

489
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: some confidence, they get some momentum. But if Tom Brady

490
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: comes out the defending Civil World champion with the same

491
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: roster that they had last season, we know that the

492
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 1: receivers with Evans and Godwin but we also know they

493
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: got Grunk. We also know they got ol J. Howard.

494
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: They have a really, really good receiving corps. So if

495
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: we face some challenges with them in Week one, I'm

496
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 1: not gonna hang it up. I'm still gonna believe that

497
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:11,959
Speaker 1: we can have a top ten defense. But I do

498
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: think that we're going to play a lot better than

499
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: we played last season. I don't think you'll see busted coverages,

500
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: guys running open all over the back and then you'll

501
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: see receivers behind us ten yards and Tom Brady just

502
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: lofting balls up for touchdowns. I don't think you'll see that.

503
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: I think you'll see us breaking on balls. I think

504
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: you'll see them making some catches because they are they

505
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: do get paid as well. But I think you'll see

506
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: us battling them out there a lot more than you

507
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: saw us do last season. Yeah. Look, you know, I

508
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: don't know about you. You know I'm a count this

509
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: regular season. I'm gonna count this game. But I do

510
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: expect this secondary as a whole to play a lot

511
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: better than they did last year. I mean, look, last year,

512
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: we knew what was going on. There was there was

513
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: coverage bus everywhere. Half of the time, receivers were running

514
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: scott free down the middle of the field, and you're

515
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: just not gonna boast a good defense if you have

516
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 1: too many coverage busts out there. And we know last

517
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: year this defense was thinking too much. Everybody was scratching

518
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: their head, not knowing what they were supposed to do,

519
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: and it just caused this team to play slower. So

520
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,959
Speaker 1: as a whole, I think they have a better understanding

521
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 1: of this defense, and I think the secondary will get

522
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,239
Speaker 1: their hands on a lot more football than they did

523
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: last year. I mean, we talked about Treyvon Diggs during

524
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: the offseason how he had fourteen his hands on fourteen

525
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: footballs but didn't get fourteen interceptions. So I expect him

526
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: to take that next leap. I expect him to turn

527
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: some of those pass breakups into interceptions. I expect a

528
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: guy like Demante Kz who came in from dan Quinn

529
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: system and at one point led the Lastional Football League

530
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 1: and interceptions with ten during the regular season, so I

531
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: expect him to contribute on that takeaway front. But overall,

532
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: I think this matchup is it's gonna be a little

533
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 1: bit tough because, like you mentioned, they boast the same

534
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: guys coming back for winning that Super Bowl, and those

535
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: guys are giants, and like I talked about earlier, we

536
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 1: got a you know, shorter staff outside of Treyvon Diggs

537
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: when it comes to a height on our cornerback side.

538
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: So I expect this matchup to be a tight or

539
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: expect this matchup to be hard. But I also don't

540
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: expect guys running Scott free, and I expect if they

541
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: do catch the ball there be contested catches. I can

542
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: live with that. Like if a guy's catch makes a

543
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: great catch and you know, chock it up, he's in

544
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: the NFL, So I expect that, and I do not

545
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: want yards after the catch, Like that's the biggest thing

546
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: to me. Like if we get if a guy catches

547
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: a five yard hitch like Brown or Godwin or somebody

548
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: like that, make the tackle boom boom, we can live

549
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 1: with that. We can make Tom Brady take the distance,

550
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: take the twelve to thirteen plays to get to the

551
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: end zone rather that than a three play. Oh, he's

552
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: just shoved it up for for sixty yards and a touchdown.

553
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a tight game. But I expect

554
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: our second yary to play better tell me this because

555
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't, I can't really remember, but I

556
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: know in Seattle that Dan Quinn wasn't one of those

557
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: defensive coordinators who had the like their best corner, not

558
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: the same start off. Um, do you think that Diggs

559
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: travels with Mike Evans this week? I do not see

560
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: you see him staying on the same side, even when

561
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: you know we got the battle with the size on

562
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: with a B versus Mike Evans. You think that for

563
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: the entire game, no matter what happens, they're not traveling

564
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: on the stand. That's just something Quinn Quinn does because

565
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 1: he that's the one thing he can do to disguise

566
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: his defense. If it's man to man and you see,

567
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: you know, Digs traveling, then you know that's man to

568
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,719
Speaker 1: man covers because he's traveling. But that's how Quinn disguised

569
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: it because he can't really disguise it because it's always

570
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 1: that single high safety back there, so you can't He's

571
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: either gonna be zone or man and the only thing

572
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: that he can disguise is making sure his corners stay

573
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: on the opposite side, so you can't tell, oh, he

574
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: traveled with him, So it must be man this time.

575
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: You never know until the snap of the ball, so

576
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: I don't see them traveling. But if Evans starts to

577
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: go off, he starts you know Dog and you know

578
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: Brown or Jordan Lewis out there, I could see a

579
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: possible switch happening. All right, let's get into these key

580
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: matchups now. I'm really really excited about mine because it's

581
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin and he is, like you said, big, he's

582
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: he's fast, and he's I think he's going to be

583
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: going up the majority of the game against Jordan Lewis

584
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: just because I feel like when it comes to those

585
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: three guys, he's gonna play mostly slot. So I feel

586
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: like he's gonna go up against Jordan Lewis and I'm

587
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 1: excited to see. I think this is gonna be a

588
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: super physical matchup between both of them, and even if

589
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: they're not, they both have skills outside of what they

590
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: just do in general, so I think like just watching

591
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: them both, even if they're not going up against each

592
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,239
Speaker 1: other on every single play or whatever the case is,

593
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: both of them are going to be like explosive to watch.

594
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to watch both of these guys, and

595
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: especially when they're going head to head with each other

596
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: because I think both both guys are super physical and

597
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 1: just you know, Lewis having to deal with at the

598
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: beginning already with a guy so big and that, you

599
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: know what I mean, to start the season off, like

600
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: you know, even if you're not where you need to

601
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: be at right now, like whatever you do in this game,

602
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: if you can just hold him just a little bit,

603
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: that's good enough for me. I think it's probably I

604
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: think he'll just get better and better each game. And

605
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, I have faith in Jordan Lewis

606
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: because I can remember two years ago when we were

607
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: watching the guy play and we were like, this guy,

608
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: he's a ball guy. He might get beat here, he

609
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: might get beat there, but he can recover and he's

610
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: a guy who's going to make plays on the ball. Now.

611
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: We saw that drop off last year, but we also

612
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: saw that drop off for everybody last year. Right. I

613
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: think that we got some new coaches in here who

614
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: knows what they are they're talking about, and I think

615
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: you're going to see an increase in production from a

616
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: guy like Jordan Lewis, And I think it's gonna start

617
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: tomorrow night. Yeah, he's a savvy guy too, Like he's

618
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: a savvy veteran. He knows how to get all the

619
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: you know, the little slight tugs here and there where

620
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,719
Speaker 1: the same color jerseys as your opposing team, so they

621
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: don't catch you for the holding penalties all that type

622
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: of that's that's a great matchup to look at you.

623
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: I was a holder. Every time, He'd be like, what me,

624
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: I was holding every my matchup going into this one.

625
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: It's it's gotta be for me. It's gotta be our linebackers,

626
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know how many of them are

627
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: gonna play. Just four of them they say are starting,

628
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: but all linebackers versus basically the core of Tampa Bay,

629
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: which is their two tight ends ground Kowski and Howard,

630
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: and they're slew of backs back there. I mean they

631
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: got Gianar Bernard for playoff, Lenny from net and then

632
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: we also got you know, Ronald Jones back there. And

633
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: last year we saw this plenty of that. We talked

634
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: about it a lot. Last year. Our linebackers were exposed

635
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: on third down when backs came out of the backfield

636
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: and they had to cover them one on one. Now,

637
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: with the addition of you know, a Neil Parsons a cops.

638
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: We got more athleticism, we got more speed out there

639
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: to be able to handle these routes against third downs.

640
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: So I want to see if we're gonna be able

641
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: to man up on these guys because it makes it

642
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: a lot easier. If your linebackers can man up and

643
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: take the backs out and take the tight ends out

644
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: of the game, then you see your secondary can play

645
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: a lot more fluid. They can play a lot easier

646
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: because they don't have to worry about man shout to

647
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: help out this linebacker. He's going against Grunk, he's going

648
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: against Howard, but I also got this guy on the outside.

649
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: You can pretty much focus on what you gotta do.

650
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: So that's gonna be an intriguing matchup for me. Hopefully,

651
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: you know, they don't get exposed like they did last year,

652
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: because this is a tough matchup with these backs and

653
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: tight ends. But you know what, I'm gonna lean towards

654
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: Kiano'nelon Parsons to get the job done. Yeah. I think

655
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: that's a good one. That's why I think that we'll

656
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: see a lot of forty twenty eleven the game because

657
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: I think if you if you go back and watch

658
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's specifically with the Patriots when he had guys

659
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: like herr Nandez and Gronk at the same time. They

660
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: were famous for coming out of twelve personnel, which is

661
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: two tight ends, two receivers, but lining up and empty. Yeah,

662
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: so they will force your linebackers to have to get

663
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: it cover. They wouldn't let you come get out of

664
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: the nickel. They will force you to get in your

665
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: regular base package and go out there and cover those

666
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: two guys. And I can see that happening with OJ

667
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: Howard and Gronkowski tomorrow night. And what do we know

668
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: about Tom when when he's if he catches you in

669
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: a package that he knows he can expose, like if

670
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: you don't your base package, hold up, put my foot

671
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: on the gas. We heard we ain't giving you an

672
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: opportunity to sub guys in and out soul. That's gonna

673
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: be something to watch, right But my, my, my matchup

674
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: man is really based off last year, because I think

675
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: this is going to really like tell us where our

676
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: team is gonna go this year, and it's our run

677
00:31:55,760 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: defense versus their run offense. I think that is a

678
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: huge part of our season and how we're gonna what's

679
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: gonna determine if we are able to make the playoffs

680
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,479
Speaker 1: or make the Super Bowl, and we need to be

681
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: able to stop them. I'm going to continue to say

682
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: that controlling the line of scrimmage is huge and for

683
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: us on defense, we make Tom Brady one dimensional where

684
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: he has to come out and third the ball fifty times.

685
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: We have a better chance of winning this game. If

686
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: we let them running on first down for five, running

687
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: those second down for three, and they continue to get

688
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: us in those third and shorts, it's going to be

689
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: a long game for us and a high scoring game

690
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So when we come back

691
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: in here and we talk about this game, the first

692
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: thing that I'm gonna look at is our rush yards

693
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: per attempt. All Right, if we can keep them on

694
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: the A three point three was robber and the state

695
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: three point three, then we should have we should have

696
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: a good chance of winning this game. If now that

697
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,239
Speaker 1: you start to see four and five, then you know

698
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: exactly what happened we had, Betty. So that's that's my

699
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: matchup man, our run defense versus their run offense. Awesome,

700
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: WHOA we are going to take another quick break We

701
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: have a shorter show today, just forty five minutes, so

766
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: Have I proven it? I wouldn't say I have, um,

767
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: what are your guys's thoughts? Because people only took a

768
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: little piece of that quote, so I wanted to make

769
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: sure I read the whole thing. He said he does

770
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: think he is the best, but has he proven it?

771
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: Is that an oxymoron? Can we say that in the

772
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: same sentence? You can say it, and I agree with

773
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 1: the second part absolutely. You know, he has not proven

774
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: that he's the best receiver in the league. Now, when

775
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys made the trade to get him from

776
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: Oakland at the time and he came here, he changed

777
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:16,919
Speaker 1: our team. He took us a rolling. He was unstoppable,

778
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: all right, And then every since then we've seen to

779
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: where he hasn't been that game changing type of guy consistently.

780
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 1: Like you'll see him make some huge plays. He makes

781
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: a lot of catches, get some yards. But when you

782
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: watch guys like DeAndre Hopkins, when you watch guys like

783
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 1: DeVante Adams, when you watch them justin Jefferson and you

784
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: see the impact that they have on the game. You're

785
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: seeing these guys go out here, two hundred yards this game,

786
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: one fifth in this game, three touchdowns this game. We

787
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: don't see that type of stuff from Amari Cooper. Can

788
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: he do it? I absolutely believe he can, but we

789
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: haven't seen it. So I believe it's on Kellen Moore

790
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: to make sure they put him in that position to

791
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: be the best receiver possible, especially since he's making twenty

792
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: million dollars a year. Is he the best receiver in

793
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: the game right now? I would say no. I would

794
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 1: say no right now, but I think he's gonna be

795
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:02,879
Speaker 1: able to prove that he's at least top three this year,

796
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 1: maybe even top one. And look, I need him to

797
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: be because he's on my fantasy team right so I

798
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: need him to ball top one. But we can get

799
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: he said top three and possibly so maybe the best.

800
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: Remember those guys we named Okay, we named the hop Games,

801
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: we named the Adams, we name Justin, we name I'm

802
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: just Okay. So I think he can I think he

803
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: can do it. I think this guy has a baller.

804
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 1: Now can can he eat because we have you know,

805
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 1: Lamn Guy up Zeke, you know jar One, all those

806
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: guys in there. That that's gonna be the toughest part

807
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: to me because I think this guy, we can't underest

808
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,720
Speaker 1: the mate coming into a season fresh. This dude basically

809
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: didn't have any training camp except for the last maybe

810
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: week or two. He went out there and ran some rounds,

811
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: played it, you know, a series or two now in

812
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,760
Speaker 1: that tune up preseason game. So he's coming in here fresh,

813
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: and we've seen the highlights of what he's doing the

814
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: boys and in practice, all right, he destroyed my man,

815
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: Calvin Joseph. They put him on on Twitter along social men.

816
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: My guy's one of the best route runners in the league,

817
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 1: all right, that's a given. Yeah, the best, the best,

818
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: that's one of the things. He's the best at five

819
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: out of the last six years, he's gone over a

820
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: thousand yards. And that's with the guys that he's eating with.

821
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: Right now. So to me, he has an opportunity to

822
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: prove that he's the best in the National Football League.

823
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: And I believe this year his connection with that because

824
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: when they both came back in the last portion of the

825
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: the camp, we saw he was the one that was

826
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: getting highlighted. He was the one that was catching all

827
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 1: these passes, these money down passes from Dak. So I

828
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: think their connection going into this season is going to

829
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: prove dividends and I think he's gonna jump from maybe

830
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: being a top ten receiver said that man, because I

831
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: think I think that's where things get a little lost

832
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 1: in translation with a Mark Cooper. Yes, the man gets

833
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: a lot of kidches, he gets a lot of yards,

834
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: but at the point, the point in the game when

835
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: he's making these kidches and getting these yards are not

836
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: the same as some of these big time guys. Steve's

837
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: seen on multiple occasions where it's been fourth and whatever,

838
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,760
Speaker 1: third and whatever, gotta have it down or Mark Cooper

839
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: is not the target. We've seen this repeated league. On

840
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: those other teams, the target is going to be DeAndre Hopkins.

841
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 1: Is that a Murray Cooper's fault or is it Kellen

842
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: Moore's fault in that situation, I would say both. But

843
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: if you're open and you're making no type of plays

844
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: and you got that kind of momentum going into that,

845
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback is gonna find you. And he's not. He's not.

846
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: He wasn't even in the game one one fourth down

847
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: when j was here, he wasn't even in the game.

848
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: I think he'll really be tested obviously this week because

849
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 1: he's going against Carlton Davis, I think, and he's a

850
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 1: shutdown corner. So I think we'll see, we'll see what

851
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: Amary Cooper could really do tomorrow. It's an away game. Yeah,

852
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 1: the first game of the year ch Church Church brought

853
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 1: it to my attention that somebody disappears on the way games.

854
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: That's all. That was two years ago. I was two

855
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: years ago, and we do know he was a monster

856
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,240
Speaker 1: at home, he was a monster, but in away games,

857
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: you know, he kind of, you know, faltered a little

858
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:54,879
Speaker 1: bit right there. But I don't think that's gonna happen

859
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: this year. I got all faith that Cooper and Dak

860
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 1: they're gonna have this connection and look, we'll see see

861
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 1: ceedee Lamb take that next step. And I think the

862
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: person the casualty about this is gonna be Gallup. I

863
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be the casualty because because Lamb gonna

864
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: get his targets, He's gonna get his balls. It's Cooper

865
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: gonna get his Lamb. I think he might be the

866
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: only one out round. Well, this is gonna be the

867
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: final thing, and we see all three of them together

868
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: for sure. Who has the real big three out of

869
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: these two teams, Tampa Bay. I mean that I got

870
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 1: to hands down, Yeah, I would. I would say so

871
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: because unfortunately because of Gallup. I mean, when you have

872
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, Waacon, you have Antonio Brown, and then you

873
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 1: also have God, when you also have Mike Evans, I

874
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: think those three are better than the Marii Cooper, the

875
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb and then the Michael Gallop. But you said

876
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: just Gallup brings it down. So see, so you know what.

877
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: I absolutely think that Ceedee Lamb is comparable to God one.

878
00:41:54,320 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely Ceedee Lambs all over the field. He does more,

879
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 1: He runs reverses, he runs speed suite, he runs from

880
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 1: the slot, he plays outside of number one, and he's productive.

881
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: He's productive at every position. And I think this season,

882
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: unfortunately for you and your fantasy team that Ceede Lamb

883
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 1: will be getting a lot of those looks, taking someone

884
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: away from Mark Cooper as well. Well, we haven't seen

885
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: Dak since a long time, over a year now, and

886
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: well not it hasn't been a year because when did

887
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: he go out. He's been out three hundred and thirty

888
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: three days six or week five. He didn't play any preseason.

889
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 1: How do you guys expect him to look early on

890
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: in the game. I think, Look, I think he'll be

891
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: a tab bit rusty. I mean because like he said,

892
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: he had no preseason and even in camp with that

893
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: shoulder injury, it kind of hurt him. He wasn't able

894
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: to throw the ball as much as he wanted to.

895
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: So I think he'll be a tab bit rusty. I

896
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 1: think would all. You know, there'll be two things that

897
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: kind of affect his game. I think it'll be the

898
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: chemistry between the receivers and just the timing, because you know,

899
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 1: sometimes you gotta be on that back foot boom, throw

900
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: that ball right on three steps. And I think the

901
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: timing and the chemistry with the receivers will be a

902
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: little bit off, and he may have the yips a

903
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: little bit now with the yips. I mean, you know,

904
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,760
Speaker 1: there's gonna be the first time he has live bullets,

905
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, since the injury. So guy's gonna be flying

906
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 1: all over the place trying to hit him, going low

907
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: on his legs. He's gonna he might have the yips.

908
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 1: It might be, oh, I gottat just ball out of

909
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:16,919
Speaker 1: my hand, quicker than he guin he needs too. But

910
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 1: I do think that he'll relatively fast. I think he'll

911
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: shake that away and maybe towards the second half or

912
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: maybe even week two, I think he'll get back to

913
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 1: his regular self. I think Dak Prescott comes out and

914
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: he looks fresher than ever, and he's throwing the ball,

915
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: making the right decisions, not doing anything too crazy and forcing.

916
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: I think he's ready to get out out there and prove,

917
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: like he said that this is the comeback year. Last

918
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: year was a tough year for him. This year shows

919
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: everything that he went through, all the work that he

920
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: put in to be the player that he is. I

921
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: don't think he's scared of those guys rolling down on

922
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: the thing will be pressing. I don't. I don't think

923
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: he'll be pressing. I gotta make plays, leg I got

924
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: not up to this contract. I gotta no, no, I

925
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: don't think this okay pressing. I think that Jerry and

926
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,720
Speaker 1: Stephen also let killing him. McCarthy know that the smartest

927
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:05,720
Speaker 1: way to get this guy back into real playing shape

928
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: is to run the ball first down, get him in

929
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 1: some third and shorts, make some easy throws, some slants,

930
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: some some curls, make those type of throws so he

931
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 1: can get ready and get back into being the player

932
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: that he was before he got injured. So we gotta

933
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: lean on Zeke. We gotta lean on him early in

934
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 1: the season. We gotta lean on Zeke, and he does

935
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: not just turn around and run the ball and they

936
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,839
Speaker 1: just turned around and run. Get him out there, get

937
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: him out there in space, let him go one on

938
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 1: one with their linebackers, draw up some screens, check down

939
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 1: something like that, because we just we gotta lean on him.

940
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: He's a he's a beast. He's one of the best

941
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,359
Speaker 1: lead backs in the league until Dak Prescott gets back.

942
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 1: We gotta lean on zek He wasn't last season, so

943
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: I hope he is this season. I definitely think he came,

944
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 1: you know, beginning to camp, all cut up, looking good,

945
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:48,919
Speaker 1: looking like he's been working out so I think he's

946
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: really gonna have a good season. He needs to have

947
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 1: a good season. We need him to have a good

948
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: season really quick. Any predictions there we go. Yeah, we

949
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: got to because we're gonna start off with my man knew,

950
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 1: he knew. He wanted to make sure. He wanted to

951
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,760
Speaker 1: make sure that we got his pictures, said out loud

952
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 1: on the show. Okay, he has Tampa Bay winning thirty

953
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:13,399
Speaker 1: four twenty one, Dallas Cowboys getting beat by thirteen points.

954
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: That's what knew he has. He also has us down

955
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 1: for nine and eight season. But McCarthy winning the NFC East,

956
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: I mean the NFC East is always close. We either

957
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,800
Speaker 1: are all sucked together or we're all good together. So

958
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: I would say something close like that, or you know,

959
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:33,879
Speaker 1: maybe a ten seven. It's hard to say even ten

960
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: seven now because we added the extra game. I'm like,

961
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 1: ten seven that doesn't even sound right. I think we're

962
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: gonna have a winning season. I think we're gonna do

963
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: great the game. M I mean, I think Tampa's gonna win.

964
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say any you know, I don't think

965
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 1: we're gonna cover the spread, but seven and a half, right, Yeah,

966
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: So you think we get to beat by more than

967
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: seven and a half slightly, maybe, I say, I'm gonna

968
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 1: be by myself on this. Once you got shirt for

969
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,399
Speaker 1: the score for them saying for the game, I'm gonna

970
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: get you don't gonna be closer than a couple of

971
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: people think. But I don't think they'll cover the spread.

972
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 1: I think it'll be thirty one twenty one Tampa Bay

973
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: for the game. Yeah, I think I got the think

974
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: I got Tampa Bay winning by ten and then for

975
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: the season, Well, we'll win the NFC East. M hmm,

976
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:26,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go I'm gonna go ahead and say I'm

977
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: gonna go with Brita on this. I'm gonna say ten

978
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 1: and seven as well, but we'll win the NFC. Okay, listen,

979
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: I'm going I'm going closer than y'all. Okay, I got

980
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: thirty one twenty seven Tampa winning. Tampa gonna win the game.

981
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a very close game. We're gonna come

982
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: down the last drive the defense. We just might not

983
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: be able to score. I said, we might struggle a

984
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: little bit. I might struggle a little bit. We might

985
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:51,359
Speaker 1: struggle a little bit. Think it's gonna be high scoring

986
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:52,839
Speaker 1: game for both because their defense is good. We're gonna

987
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 1: put up twenty seven on them. You know, that's ten.

988
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: And I did have us winning eleven games before you know,

989
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: uh Zach Martin started going out and we got then

990
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,479
Speaker 1: with COVID and Loyal got his shoulder and all that stings.

991
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 1: I'm sticking with ten to seven two. But I do

992
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: have us winning the nfcast. I do want to go

993
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: back till last week real quick. That defense thing you

994
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 1: were saying, that's not part of a bet for me.

995
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 1: Just f yi, what do you mean when you said

996
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: the top ten defense? So you don't want to be

997
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: that's not a bet like you were like forcing me

998
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: into picking one or the other. And I'm not confident

999
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: enough to make a bet. That's how I do bet.

1000
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 1: I will see if you want. I want to see

1001
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 1: if you wanted to get involved in a bet, because

1002
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 1: Nui and Church are already involved. I want to. I

1003
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: had three bets. But if you listen, because unless I

1004
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: know for sure, I'm not That's why I don't lose bet. Okay,

1005
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 1: I listen before the season starts. I get it. You're

1006
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 1: leaning more toward the top ten defense. I get it.

1007
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm in the middle of Thanks guys so much for
