Speaker 4: This segment is brought to you each in every episode
Speaker 4: by Wingstop, where Flavor gets its.
Speaker 5: We brand Today.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Brandon Cooks and from Mike McCarthy's mouth, has had
Speaker 4: one of the best camps thus far.
Speaker 3: The old grizzled vet is showing up.
Speaker 6: We camp.
Speaker 3: Well, I wouldn't. I wouldn't quite say that. I wouldn't.
Speaker 4: I didn't quite say that. We're just gonna say Brandon
Speaker 4: Cook's having a good camp. We're not gonna say we
Speaker 4: don't need CD lambing camp, who, by the way, still
Speaker 4: not in camp, still doesn't have a deal done, still
Speaker 4: holding out right now for the money that he is
Speaker 4: looking for.
Speaker 3: But before we get more.
Speaker 4: Into that, the Cowboys had a preseason game the other day.
Speaker 4: I know you guys talked about that on Monday. Yeah,
Speaker 4: they're practicing again today, right, Nate's that practice joint practice today?
Speaker 4: Connected correct, tomorrow, tomorrow, today, Today's happening.
Speaker 5: Right, it's been happening about two or three minutes.
Speaker 4: All right, Well, let's go to Nate Newton, who is
Speaker 4: live boots on the ground in Oxnard. Uh So tell
Speaker 4: us Nate, so far, what are some of the things
Speaker 4: that you've seen in practice.
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, we've we've asschu mon Doga from
Speaker 5: six to six to three months, six weeks to three months.
Speaker 5: So that puts uh the star as the first round pick.
Speaker 5: He's he's launched in there, whether he earned it or not,
Speaker 5: he's the man. And uh that Austin Richards. That puts
Speaker 5: him out of tackle. Now they was gonna try to
Speaker 5: let him battle for the inside guard tween guard, but
Speaker 5: now that gives them first shot at being sweet and
Speaker 5: tackle are some riches and that's that's the first thing
Speaker 5: and the next thing that we need to soar up
Speaker 5: our interior defensive line. They show improvement far as this
Speaker 5: game versus the run, but no no pass rush. Nobody
Speaker 5: has stepped up to give us some inside pressure except
Speaker 5: Osa where who did not play. But that's our only
Speaker 5: guy that can give us some pass rush. So they're
Speaker 5: kind of looking for some guys to step up and
Speaker 5: get into that pass rush. And and I think that's
Speaker 5: a lot of why the Rams wanted to come to
Speaker 5: us again, to get to get this good look and
Speaker 5: to get this good work. I think a lot of
Speaker 5: things failed through for them because they had I think
Speaker 5: it was somebody else there was one to scrimmage against.
Speaker 5: But they fell through and they were the easier pickings.
Speaker 5: And you know, right down being right down the road.
Speaker 5: So it's why it's the instantial off the interior defensive
Speaker 5: line and they tackles for the offense. Mind that that's
Speaker 5: the most important thing right now that I.
Speaker 7: See you made it sound last time these two practice
Speaker 7: that the Rams kind of controlled the line, is that right?
Speaker 5: They did? They did? They they came at us man
Speaker 5: uh with UH with Byron Young and Jerry burst outside linebackers.
Speaker 5: They they they they rushed with some intensity, with some
Speaker 5: with some fire in them, man. And then you go
Speaker 5: to the inside of the defensive line, you know, Tyler
Speaker 5: David Stevens Lineman showed to be pretty active, you know,
Speaker 5: and they got a good load uh And they got
Speaker 5: Kobe Turner at the nose tackle. So they got some
Speaker 5: guys that can get get after the get after the passer. Man.
Speaker 5: And they seem to have been okay against the run
Speaker 5: because we got when both teams got into the red
Speaker 5: zone inside the this past game, nobody was successful. All
Speaker 5: we had was field goal out of the field go
Speaker 5: into that last little who right at the end of
Speaker 5: the But it's good work here. I mean, I wish
Speaker 5: just could have stayed because to see it, because this
Speaker 5: is some good work that the Rams and the Cowboys
Speaker 5: are competing against one another.
Speaker 4: One of the updates that we got from Mike McCarthy, yes,
Speaker 4: we found out that Chill o'dok a broken big.
Speaker 3: Toe is out for some time.
Speaker 4: But also Mike McCarthy said, hey, we're gonna give the
Speaker 4: rookie BB Cooper BB the first team REP. So now
Speaker 4: you're talking about having Guide you and BB in that
Speaker 4: first team rep. Operation Nate from your perspective, because I
Speaker 4: know where I stand on this and I'll speak after Nate.
Speaker 4: But yes, injury kind of propelled Guiding to be in
Speaker 4: there full time. But do you think this isn't the
Speaker 4: right way to go to Mike McCarthy A company, say hey, listen,
Speaker 4: these are gonna be the guys that were going here.
Speaker 4: We appreciate you, brock Hoffman, but I'm gonna give all
Speaker 4: these young guys all the reps that they can leading
Speaker 4: up into the season so that they can be ready
Speaker 4: to go.
Speaker 8: Come to.
Speaker 5: Me and you talked about this joing OTAs, why are
Speaker 5: we wasting time? Give these guys every possible rep that
Speaker 5: you can that is feasible so your team can prosper,
Speaker 5: you know, because if this is your long haul, this
Speaker 5: is game eight and beyond. Why not? Why wait? I
Speaker 5: mean it looked kind of shaky for BB at the
Speaker 5: beginning of training camp, but as his training camp has
Speaker 5: been going on in progress and he's been better and
Speaker 5: better with his snaps. I think he did okay in
Speaker 5: the game with his snaps. I just first, second, and
Speaker 5: third round pick suggestion. You know, in this new NFL,
Speaker 5: why did they wait?
Speaker 9: I mean, why did they wait? Why did they wait?
Speaker 9: That BB should have been even though.
Speaker 5: His snap's running perfect, You should have been getting reps
Speaker 5: with the back with the first team because this.
Speaker 9: You know, because if Hoffman go down, now that's what
Speaker 9: they realized. If Hoffman do go down.
Speaker 5: That's who's running in the game. It's gonna be BB.
Speaker 5: So you better give him all the reps he can get, so,
Speaker 5: you know, I by that from day one, you know,
Speaker 5: and doubt I'm gonna this needling kid is getting real.
Speaker 5: Not not that Sam is hurt. I hate that, but
Speaker 5: I'm glad that Needland is getting all the rep's getting
Speaker 5: he need him. This is these are seven or eight
Speaker 5: cores guys every preseason game. We need to get better
Speaker 5: so this team can have a chance to compete during
Speaker 5: the season.
Speaker 4: No, I totally agree with what that what that perspective,
Speaker 4: because let's be honest, like, you drafted Guiding in the
Speaker 4: first round for a reason. If if you thought that
Speaker 4: Tuma or Awesome or somebody else could get the job done,
Speaker 4: you would have went a different direction than the first round,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean that that would have set
Speaker 4: you up for somewhere else. But you went this route
Speaker 4: first round because you knew that there was there was
Speaker 4: a major need there with the loss of Tyron Smith
Speaker 4: that you.
Speaker 3: Had to address.
Speaker 4: So why play around with it, like like, let's not
Speaker 4: let's not make this thing. You know what you have
Speaker 4: in this player. You know why you drafted them that
Speaker 4: early and and even and even uh, you know bbe
Speaker 4: relatively high draft pick in the sense of of where
Speaker 4: he went. These are guys that you took that high
Speaker 4: in the draft for an absolute purpose. Then let them
Speaker 4: fulfill that purpose. There's no long there's no need to
Speaker 4: hold them back from something that's inevitable, you know what
Speaker 4: I mean, Like, you know what you have in brock Hoffin.
Speaker 4: And I'm not saying that those guys can't get some
Speaker 4: first team reps.
Speaker 3: But let's not play with this thing.
Speaker 4: Let's not let's not make this a situation where there
Speaker 4: is a there's a back and forth battle. And I
Speaker 4: don't want to sound like a hypcrit because I think
Speaker 4: I've said before. You know, you know, being a guy
Speaker 4: that's been around here, that you kind of want to
Speaker 4: have an opportunity to keep your job or fight for
Speaker 4: your job. That's cool, but you're gonna have to now fight.
Speaker 3: From behind, right.
Speaker 6: But let me ask you guys this.
Speaker 7: So obviously those two guys BB and guy need to
Speaker 7: get as many reps as they can, and you would
Speaker 7: like to see some reps in the preseason game. McCarthy
Speaker 7: though his history is he don't play as starters. How
Speaker 7: do you think he's going to handle that house? Should
Speaker 7: he handle that?
Speaker 5: Well? This we're here against the Raiders. He should just
Speaker 5: run him out there. I mean not not just you know,
Speaker 5: Dyke needs to play and BB needs to play. It
Speaker 5: is exceptions to every rule. You know.
Speaker 9: Once they get two series.
Speaker 5: Bring them out of the game. But let them get
Speaker 5: let them understand, I mean maybe a half. I don't
Speaker 5: care how long you play me. I would play him
Speaker 5: the whole game. But that's not the new NFL. You know,
Speaker 5: two series, three series, and the and the coaches decide
Speaker 5: that they gave brock hoffin last week, I think two
Speaker 5: and a half three series. Then they brought him out
Speaker 5: of the game and they started the rotation. Do the
Speaker 5: same for this kid here Bb given two, three, maybe
Speaker 5: four series, then get him out of the game if
Speaker 5: that's how you feel. But if you want to leave, man,
Speaker 5: I have no problem. You know, I have no problem.
Speaker 7: Which you think Dak would prefer you do. Make sure
Speaker 7: he's healthier, make sure you've got reps.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and and I think the more and this is
Speaker 4: what anything we've said this before here on this show.
Speaker 4: I don't care what profession you're in. If you're a baker,
Speaker 4: the more baking you do, the better you become. If
Speaker 4: you're a carpenter, the more things that you build, the
Speaker 4: better that you become. If you're whatever, the a surgeon,
Speaker 4: the more surgeries you partake in, the better you become.
Speaker 4: I just I don't understand why we get to football
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden, and I get it. This
Speaker 4: is this is a physical game. It's a it's a
Speaker 4: it's a it's a hurting game. But I just don't
Speaker 4: understand the the the reasoning behind, especially guys who lacked
Speaker 4: the experience. I was a little bit shocked last week
Speaker 4: when I was saw when I saw that Jaylen Tobert
Speaker 4: had kind of got the veteran treatment a little bit.
Speaker 3: I was shocked.
Speaker 4: I was floored when I was like, wait, what, wait,
Speaker 4: wait where is he? That blew my mind. I'm like,
Speaker 4: he isn't done enough. There's no way you've convinced me
Speaker 4: enough that you're good enough that you don't need or
Speaker 4: deserve any of these preseason rep Those rights are reserved
Speaker 4: for guys who hold out, right.
Speaker 3: You gotta be good enough to hold out, you see.
Speaker 4: So I don't know why, Like we have the scientific
Speaker 4: proof that anytime you want to get better in something
Speaker 4: that it needs to be led by repetition.
Speaker 3: And then we get the football and it's like, let's
Speaker 3: not give him the repetition. It just doesn't.
Speaker 4: And then what's gonna happen is you're gonna just say okay,
Speaker 4: because two or three series are fine, but as you know, Nate,
Speaker 4: you don't get you know what I'm saying, Kurt, you
Speaker 4: don't get. You don't get good to the second round
Speaker 4: when you go in there. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: When you're in the bedroom, that first round for you
Speaker 4: until you get that when you come back in with
Speaker 4: that second.
Speaker 3: Round, you knocking the wall.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. You gotta get a rhythm.
Speaker 4: You gotta get I get a chance to. And this
Speaker 4: is why it's important to me from any perspective of
Speaker 4: any position. Lineman, running back, quarterbacks, dbs. You hear it
Speaker 4: a lot in baseball. It's you know, sometimes they don't
Speaker 4: want that picture to cycle through that group again because
Speaker 4: now if I'm a batter, I don't watch you two
Speaker 4: or three goals now I didn't see. I got a rhythm,
Speaker 4: I got those reps in. But in football, I gotta
Speaker 4: be able to see this thing happen. I need to
Speaker 4: be able to see that stunt again. I need I
Speaker 4: need to be able to hear that to figure out
Speaker 4: what this guy does, how does he play? Because if not,
Speaker 4: then I'm gonna be shocked in the moment when when
Speaker 4: when the live see when the live.
Speaker 3: Bullets, beef are flying.
Speaker 4: There is no blow the whistle, running again, line up,
Speaker 4: run it again, line up, running again. There is no Oh,
Speaker 4: it's just a preseason game, you know as not back
Speaker 4: there red jerseys are on all that. No, when Miles
Speaker 4: Garrett is standing over top of you, it matters. You
Speaker 4: see what I'm saying, And I want to be able
Speaker 4: to have. Now, will all the reps in the world
Speaker 4: prepare you.
Speaker 3: For Miles Garrett? I don't know, but I know that
Speaker 3: you will be.
Speaker 4: I know that you would be better suited to have
Speaker 4: the reps and be ready for him then not have
Speaker 4: the reps. And now everything that you see is new
Speaker 4: to you. That's the part I just don't I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't get why we get to this point and
Speaker 4: all of a sudden we start pulling reps away that.
Speaker 3: It makes sense for guys that need them.
Speaker 4: You got anything, Nate, that was good unless you had something.
Speaker 4: I thought you got something, but that one. You know, Kurt,
Speaker 4: you put in an interesting thing talking about reps, having
Speaker 4: those live moments. You you found something in the athletic
Speaker 4: that talked about they took a poll and I want
Speaker 4: to I want to I want to hear what you
Speaker 4: have to think about this Nate and YouTube Kurt the
Speaker 4: Athletic took a poll and there are a few teams
Speaker 4: that tackle in practice to the ground. Those teams are
Speaker 4: the Chiefs, the Dolphins, the Lions, the Steelers. When you
Speaker 4: think about those teams, you think about at least two
Speaker 4: out of the three, two out of the four are
Speaker 4: kind of blue collar, right, So Lions are still a
Speaker 4: blue collar, you know. And then you think the Chiefs, well,
Speaker 4: they doing something right they stay in the Super Bowl,
Speaker 4: and then the Dolphins kind of their new their new
Speaker 4: found swinging their thing. I want to get you guys opinion.
Speaker 4: Don't answer now. We're gonna take a break. When we
Speaker 4: come back. I want to hear your opinion on your
Speaker 4: thoughts of tackling to the ground in practice. Does it hurt?
Speaker 4: Does it help? Is it minutia? Should more teams do it?
Speaker 4: Say right here with me, right back to hanging with

Speaker 4: I gotta do my check ins. I didn't do it
Speaker 4: to get into the show. But Kirk, where you're at?
Speaker 4: How's your mentors outdidentals doing good?
Speaker 6: Everything's uh going all right?
Speaker 3: Hook Nate? What about you?
Speaker 5: How's your mentors and dentals great, thanks.
Speaker 4: Good good mentors are good. Starting a new job soon,
Speaker 4: so I'll be getting new benefits. So once I get
Speaker 4: that intact, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna attack that. I
Speaker 4: told you I tipped. I tipped my wisdom tooth. So
Speaker 4: once I get the new dentals, the new dental benefits,
Speaker 4: I'll go and I'll go and attack those things because
Speaker 4: that's gonna be I don't want to pay that out.
Speaker 3: Of I don't want to pay that out of pocket costs.
Speaker 3: I don't want to pay that out of pocket.
Speaker 4: The good thing is, and I know, Nate, you probably
Speaker 4: use this, but one of the benefits at the NFL
Speaker 4: still gives some of the former players that I do
Speaker 4: get reimbursed. But I just don't want to come out
Speaker 4: of the pocket with a couple of thousand dollars. I'll
Speaker 4: just it's not killing me. Now I can go get
Speaker 4: it done and then get reimbursed. It's not it's not painful,
Speaker 4: it doesn't hurt. I just know that if I don't
Speaker 4: get it done, you know it's gonna turn into that.
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna just wait till these new benefits something
Speaker 4: so I can keep some money in my pocket. With
Speaker 4: that jazz, how's your mentals and dentals?
Speaker 3: It's like a feeling.
Speaker 4: Okay, Jazz is coming out of her locks, and I've
Speaker 4: told everybody that.
Speaker 3: Breaking breaking. Sorry.
Speaker 4: Sorry, you know, I tried to do what we do
Speaker 4: on this show, but I just didn't. Sorry, sorry, dang shoot,
Speaker 4: didn't mean to do that, all right. I teased it
Speaker 4: before we went in to break some football teams during
Speaker 4: practice tackle to the ground.
Speaker 3: Not a lot.
Speaker 7: Well, they ranked them, and there was three teams that
Speaker 7: did it they said often. There was one team that
Speaker 7: did it very often, which is Steelers. I guess Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 7: That's his thing. We're gonna get physical in practice.
Speaker 3: And his quote was you can't box without sparring.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I think that's a great, great quote.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So, and you got to look at those four teams,
Speaker 7: you know, you mentioned them. Two were in the super
Speaker 7: Bowl last year, and like you said, Steelers are known
Speaker 7: for their toughness and Tomlin, especially with him as coaches
Speaker 7: all these years, and then the Dolphins are a team
Speaker 7: on the rise. So you gotta wonder. I mean, heck,
Speaker 7: Chiefs Patrick Mahons played in their first p Chiefs start
Speaker 7: there yeah, you know, they play their starters, so I
Speaker 7: don't know. We've talked about it before. There has to
Speaker 7: be a balance, and you just got to wonder, as
Speaker 7: he said, how can you be ready to box if
Speaker 7: you're not sparring?
Speaker 3: And they I'll let you answer next. I am. I'm
Speaker 3: a little bit indifferent, really, and the reason being is.
Speaker 4: I take this football team, for example, and one of
Speaker 4: the things that we've longed for. I've longed for is
Speaker 4: a level of physicality to be the identity. And the
Speaker 4: only way that you get to that point is a
Speaker 4: you you get players in here that are physical, b
Speaker 4: you begin to coach in a physical manner. I had
Speaker 4: I had an opportunity to have a conversation with excuse
Speaker 4: me with with Zim. I had a breakfast comedy. It
Speaker 4: wasn't that's about four or five minutes a breakfast comments.
Speaker 4: And I'll talk about that in the third segment. But
Speaker 4: a part of me thinks that there needs to be
Speaker 4: a level of physicalness.
Speaker 10: Now.
Speaker 4: You have to teach it the proper way, though, because
Speaker 4: teams that are undisciplined, teams that don't do things properly,
Speaker 4: can lead to injuries. If your team isn't well coached
Speaker 4: on how to form to if your team is well
Speaker 4: coached in understanding that, hey, we're not we're not dving
Speaker 4: for the knees, you know what I mean, We're not
Speaker 4: We're not trying to have those cheap shots. If your
Speaker 4: team isn't well coached in that, then that could potentially lead.
Speaker 3: To a a a an injury.
Speaker 4: But if they are coached well in that, again, it
Speaker 4: goes back to what I said in the first segment.
Speaker 4: If I rep more often than not live tackling, I
Speaker 4: begin to form the habit of what it looks like.
Speaker 4: I can teach it up on film because no one teaches.
Speaker 4: If everything is a thud or a tag off, there
Speaker 4: is no there's no coaching going on in the meeting
Speaker 4: rooms on.
Speaker 3: How to tackle.
Speaker 4: But if we could pull up film from from a
Speaker 4: couple of live periods that we do in practice, that
Speaker 4: we practice we tackle to the ground, then I can say, hey,
Speaker 4: this is not how we do it. Hey, this is
Speaker 4: not how that's done. You know, Hey, across the bow,
Speaker 4: bring you know, shoot your guns, all that kind of
Speaker 4: stuff in the form of tackling.
Speaker 3: Those are tackling terms.
Speaker 4: So that part of me says, I wish the Cowboys
Speaker 4: did that more because we've seen a lot of times
Speaker 4: where this team isn't the best tackling team, this team
Speaker 4: isn't the physical team at the point of attack.
Speaker 3: And with Zim being an.
Speaker 4: Older school coach, but I know that they've taken on
Speaker 4: some new school philosophies. I would love to see that
Speaker 4: implement it more in the Cowboys way.
Speaker 3: Of living, to to.
Speaker 4: Promote the physicalness of what I want to do when
Speaker 4: the football on the football.
Speaker 7: Game that was the apparently the Steelers they say they
Speaker 7: start every practice with a drill called seven shots, and
Speaker 7: it's seven chances from the two yard line to get
Speaker 7: in the end zone, and it's full tilt. I mean,
Speaker 7: starters are tackling. I mean, it reminds me of you know,
Speaker 7: Nate used to go through those. I can't remember what
Speaker 7: it was when you guys lined up inside.
Speaker 5: Runs let's go.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So, I mean, of the I think it's of the
Speaker 7: thirty two teams, twenty four either don't tackle at all,
Speaker 7: which I think Cowboys are in that, or do a
Speaker 7: little bit of tackling, maybe the backups and that sort
Speaker 7: of thing. And then these last four or whatever or
Speaker 7: four to eight whatever it was that some tackle.
Speaker 4: And Nay, I'm gonna let you go just two seconds.
Speaker 4: I just it makes me think and I know that
Speaker 4: I was indifferent, but it just again, it just puts
Speaker 4: me in the space of football is physical, like that
Speaker 4: is the that is the essence of this game. And
Speaker 4: more and more we are trying to pull away from
Speaker 4: the thing that made this game what it is. And
Speaker 4: I get it as far as the injuries in the
Speaker 4: long term effected this, but this is why you see
Speaker 4: some of these things.
Speaker 3: This is why you're gonna do.
Speaker 4: I mean, they're taking hitting and tackling out of the game,
Speaker 4: and this is why you're gonna see more of those
Speaker 4: knee injuries and lower leg injuries because people don't anymore.
Speaker 4: The tackling is pissed poor. And it ain't just the dbs.
Speaker 4: It's it's the defensive ends, it's linebackers. Like those days
Speaker 4: of those guys being the physical, brute force people. It's
Speaker 4: more becoming finesse in a sense.
Speaker 5: What do you think they Oh, yeah, I agree with you.
Speaker 5: The thing is we've always in this league been able
Speaker 5: to coach tackling. And the way you learn how to
Speaker 5: coach tackling is allowing the guys to do it during practice,
Speaker 5: and so they have taken it out some coaches that
Speaker 5: you know, a few coaches are still holding on to that.
Speaker 5: It makes you a better team. It makes you physical
Speaker 5: without thinking. You know, you don't want to do like
Speaker 5: the Cowboys do at the end of every year and
Speaker 5: all of a sudden, you've finish face a physical team.
Speaker 5: Now you've got to start thinking physical. You can't think physical.
Speaker 5: That has to be in your in your DNA. And so, uh,
Speaker 5: these guys, uh, the Stealers. There is one team that
Speaker 5: I knew they was gonna be on the list when
Speaker 5: I was reading this earlier, I knew the Stillers was
Speaker 5: gonna be on the list. Andy Reid has been notorious,
Speaker 5: especially when he was in Philadelphia for almost tackling the
Speaker 5: whole practice. Baby, just have to go to him and
Speaker 5: say Andy enough or not. So Andy Reid has always
Speaker 5: been this guy.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 5: Now, what's shocking to me is the Miami Dolphins. But
Speaker 5: their coach, I mean, look at this guy. You wouldn't
Speaker 5: think he would be doing an attacking Yeah. Yeah, but
Speaker 5: and Dan cambll detroited you know, you know him, so
Speaker 5: it helps bro It is no uh, the pros and
Speaker 5: cons is great on both sides. It is no way
Speaker 5: that you're telling me taking eight or nine our physical
Speaker 5: repts and practice is going to destroy you because the
Speaker 5: next day you're gonna be off. You're gonna be off
Speaker 5: the next day. Said you tell him you can't other
Speaker 5: from four or five shots.
Speaker 7: Come on, now, do you think the players today or
Speaker 7: maybe even when you were do you think players today
Speaker 7: wish they were some tackling, wish there was more hitting
Speaker 7: when you were.
Speaker 5: Playing for the easy way out? The guys are always
Speaker 5: no matter who you are, you always do for the
Speaker 5: easy way out. The mindset of the coaches, what is
Speaker 5: what makes the difference. These guys already know Hey man,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go ahead and get my four or five shots.
Speaker 5: You know, and uh but what But what I'll go
Speaker 5: back to is now you don't have to think physical. Now,
Speaker 5: you don't have to think physical. You are physical. It
Speaker 5: is what you do now. We may not look at
Speaker 5: the Miament Dolphins is.
Speaker 9: Physical, but we gotta understand they run almost.
Speaker 5: As much as they passed. So it's something to that
Speaker 5: they run almosts much as they passed. And then when
Speaker 5: they're running, game is clicking. You can't stop the passing game.
Speaker 5: So it's something to this man, it's all about it's
Speaker 5: all about being it, it's all about being physic. Every
Speaker 5: year it seemed like the most physical teams go a
Speaker 5: libit buzz in this league.
Speaker 7: I remember where is it, well any one of these
Speaker 7: last few years where they were gonna put pads on
Speaker 7: before they had to face the forty nine ers because
Speaker 7: they were going to get more physical. And I remember
Speaker 7: us talking about you can't just flip the switch and
Speaker 7: all of a sudden we get more physical.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and me, I like that terminology that you use,
Speaker 4: like to be physical without thinking.
Speaker 3: Yeah like that that.
Speaker 4: Like that is the part that you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 4: because you physical is not something you can turn off
Speaker 4: and on.
Speaker 3: It just isn't like either you are or you are not.
Speaker 3: That is it. And and.
Speaker 4: The things that come into play for football teams in
Speaker 4: the in the moments that mattered the most, our second
Speaker 4: nature habits.
Speaker 5: That's right, you feel?
Speaker 3: Does that make sense?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah? When the heat his own heat, his own, when you're.
Speaker 4: Tired, that that game is it's a it's a My
Speaker 4: example is this, I'll use the basketball for the Olympics.
Speaker 4: They're playing France, and this game is is is tight.
Speaker 4: It's in a heated moment and the ball goes to
Speaker 4: Steph Curry and four times in a.
Speaker 3: Row, bang bang bang bang.
Speaker 4: It was so second nature to him that it wasn't
Speaker 4: the moment wasn't too big, but that was his rhythm.
Speaker 4: That was he didn't think about making those shots. He
Speaker 4: was saying, I've taken this shot in every which way possible.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna do it again. And the biggest moments games
Speaker 4: on the line, like you were trailing, you were you
Speaker 4: were up, You're trying to keep him at bay.
Speaker 3: You're trying to close the game out. And it's it's not.
Speaker 4: In week two or three when you're fresh and you're
Speaker 4: flying around. It's in week twelve. It's on the road
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter. It's when things haven't been going right,
Speaker 4: but I.
Speaker 3: Gotta make a play.
Speaker 4: It's in the playoffs when teams have honed in on
Speaker 4: all of your weaknesses. And that's one of that that's
Speaker 4: been our Achilles Hill against the really good teams, when
Speaker 4: when it came time for us to to to to
Speaker 4: fire the physical gun.
Speaker 3: We shot blanks. So I said, I'm indifferent about it.
Speaker 6: It don't sound it.
Speaker 4: Because I know that it could lead to something out.
Speaker 4: But maybe that's just the cost of doing business.
Speaker 6: Like you said, if you're doing it right though, you know.
Speaker 5: Hopefully when the boom boxes there is loud, when the.
Speaker 4: Boom boxes out its loudest, will you respond when the
Speaker 4: super grimlin is coming at you?
Speaker 3: Will you be able to pour the water?
Speaker 6: The water?
Speaker 4: How you get rid of the giblin? The grimlin water
Speaker 4: makes it grow? Right, whatever you gotta do to get
Speaker 4: rid of the grimlin?
Speaker 3: Who you gonna call those busters in those movements? All right,
Speaker 3: we'll heading to our last break.

Speaker 4: This Wednesday Hunt, they auditioned the third and final segment
Speaker 4: of the day. That segment is brought to you by Jigsaw,
Speaker 4: the official dating partner all the Dallas Cowboys. Head over
Speaker 4: to Jigsaw dot com and hook yourself up. Look yourself
Speaker 4: up with a little something something over there at Jacksaw.
Speaker 4: I don't know what's going on over there, but go
Speaker 4: over there and you find out. Uh, you know for yourself.
Speaker 4: I don't know, all right. So I was recently in
Speaker 4: ox Snard. I was in San Bernardino, I was in Oxnard.
Speaker 4: I was a little bit of Malibu. I was, I was,
Speaker 4: I was around, I was outside, as the young people
Speaker 4: like to say. But while I was in ox Snart,
Speaker 4: I had the opportunity to have a couple of conversations.
Speaker 4: And that's one of the privileges of So if you're
Speaker 4: in Oxnard, if you know this, you wouldn't know this. Fans,
Speaker 4: you guys wouldn't know this because you don't you're not accessible.
Speaker 4: You don't have access to the behind the scenes stuff.
Speaker 4: But when you're eating an Auxtionnard, there are two rooms.
Speaker 4: When you walk past the front desk, to the right
Speaker 4: is where the players eat, and then to the left
Speaker 4: is where other staff members and stuff like that eating.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you're not supposed to eat there,
Speaker 4: whatever you whatever. Sometimes I forget I'm a player.
Speaker 3: I'm a player.
Speaker 4: Still in your blood, it's still in my blood. I
Speaker 4: shed blood on the hollow grounds of actional. So I
Speaker 4: ate with the players and coaches ate.
Speaker 3: I went in there. They had better stuff in there.
Speaker 3: They had they did.
Speaker 4: They have the grills and stuff up there, people up there,
Speaker 4: the boches and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: You know, they're cooking in there.
Speaker 4: So while I was in there, and oddly enough, I
Speaker 4: don't think the office, the offensive coaches must be like
Speaker 4: on a a caloric deficit, a calorie deficit type thing.
Speaker 4: No offensive people were eating none. I didn't run a
Speaker 4: one offensive coach in three days.
Speaker 6: Were the offensive players in there?
Speaker 4: Maybe they Yeah, some guys came in there, but like,
Speaker 4: I didn't see many offensive coaches. I guess the defensive
Speaker 4: players they're saying, we're all hungry. All they're all doing
Speaker 4: the micah and rubbing their stomachs. Because I had a
Speaker 4: conversation with UH, with three coaches, and it wasn't long
Speaker 4: in depth conversation.
Speaker 3: We didn't we didn't.
Speaker 4: We didn't get into a lot of about three to
Speaker 4: five minutes a piece. I was respectful of their time
Speaker 4: and and so on and so forth. But so what
Speaker 4: do you want to hear?
Speaker 3: First? You want to hear Mike Zimmer. You want to hear.
Speaker 4: UH Demico Potter. I'm gonna say his name right or
Speaker 4: you want to hear Al Harris.
Speaker 6: Have about Harris?
Speaker 4: Okay, So I got a chance to talk to your
Speaker 4: assistant head coach and defensive back coach, Al Harris, and
Speaker 4: you know, in those spaces sometimes you gotta make it light.
Speaker 4: So I reminded him of a story that Chad Johnson
Speaker 4: had told me when my first team was the Cincinnati
Speaker 4: Bank was my rookie year. So Chad Johnson Ochiol Sinka
Speaker 4: was my was my vet. And one of the people
Speaker 4: that he always raved about was Al Harris. That was
Speaker 4: the one dB that he gave the utmost respect to.
Speaker 4: He said, he said, Al Harris, if he pressed you,
Speaker 4: it was a rap. He got his hands on you,
Speaker 4: it was over. And so I kind of shared that
Speaker 4: with him and he laughed about it. He goes, man,
Speaker 4: me and Chad have some good values, like that's my dude,
Speaker 4: and we kind of just and so that kind of
Speaker 4: ushered and opened up the way for us to have
Speaker 4: a conversation. And I told him that the Carson kid
Speaker 4: was my pet cat, and why it was my pet cat.
Speaker 4: I just thought, you know, acc guy, power fole conference.
Speaker 4: I just looked at the guy said he has a
Speaker 4: ton of experience to be a four year starter. You
Speaker 4: know how many reps that is that you get. Going
Speaker 4: back to the rep conversation, and he raved about this kid,
Speaker 4: he said that he says, man, he said, I got
Speaker 4: me another one. Wow, he said, I got me another one.
Speaker 6: That's nice.
Speaker 4: And he said, he said, you know, and and if
Speaker 4: people are asking why, you know, maybe we aren't signing
Speaker 4: a guy like Stefan Gilmour, he got him another one.
Speaker 4: And he said, he said, he said, this kid has
Speaker 4: everything that you want. He said the biggest thing about
Speaker 4: him though, that he's eager to learn more. And he said,
Speaker 4: that's there's anything that I found in coaching in the
Speaker 4: newer generation. He said, everybody isn't eager to learn more.
Speaker 4: They want to learn enough, and once that enough kind
Speaker 4: of gets them on the field, they don't want to
Speaker 4: know anymore, or or they don't they don't want to
Speaker 4: spend enough time learning more. And he says, this kid
Speaker 4: is different, like he wants to know more. He's eager
Speaker 4: to learn more and more and more and more. And
Speaker 4: he said, he basically said, I got another one, and and.
Speaker 3: And that was that was exciting to hear.
Speaker 4: And you know, and so I talked about him and
Speaker 4: he kind of briefly talked about Diggs and other guys
Speaker 4: and he said, you know, this this group that I
Speaker 4: have of dbs now is the way they challenge each other,
Speaker 4: he said it was it was something he said, it's
Speaker 4: the iron sharp and iron theory that each one of
Speaker 4: these guys pushed themselves and they compete in everything.
Speaker 3: And he's like, everything, it's a competition.
Speaker 4: Everybody wants to beat the next man in something that
Speaker 4: we do as a unit.
Speaker 3: And so that just kind of left me.
Speaker 4: You know, that was like, wow, Okay, I got my
Speaker 4: confirmation on Carson. You know, he believed Diggs is gonna
Speaker 4: get back to form. They're just they're kind of slow
Speaker 4: walking him back in it, but he's gonna be ready
Speaker 4: to go. And just sitting there talking to him, and
Speaker 4: we talked about some other stuff that's you know, personal stuff,
Speaker 4: but just getting to sit and talk with him and
Speaker 4: talk ball with him. It's a bright dude man like
Speaker 4: I get and understand why. I know why I know
Speaker 4: I might want to bring up I'm not Mike dan Quinn.
Speaker 4: I know why Dan wanted to bring him I know
Speaker 4: I might want to keep him, Like I'm I am
Speaker 4: one hundred percent after sitting and talking with him, I'm
Speaker 4: one hundred percent clear why and if, if for whatever reason,
Speaker 4: Mike McCarthy isn't re signed or Zim isn't re signed,
Speaker 4: there is going to be an all out free for
Speaker 4: all free agent battle to grab Al Harris. He's intelligent,
Speaker 4: he's engaging, he's likable, he's knowledgeable, like he's one of
Speaker 4: those he's a leader of men, and players love him
Speaker 4: and that's because he's authentic. Like just sitting there talking
Speaker 4: to him, you felt that the authenticity and the things
Speaker 4: that he were saying. And then I'll go I'll go
Speaker 4: next to Uh to coach Zim. I have a chance
Speaker 4: to talk to co Zim. And I was kind of
Speaker 4: just giving him like Zingers, and I asked him, I said, coach,
Speaker 4: if you had to give me, if you had to
Speaker 4: give me one word for your defense, He kind of
Speaker 4: paused for a second.
Speaker 3: He looked at me, and he said, unpredictable.
Speaker 7: Huh, okay, all right. I hope that means the offense
Speaker 7: doesn't know where they're going.
Speaker 4: Right, And I think no, I think that he meant
Speaker 4: the offense doesn't know where he's coming from.
Speaker 3: You put in the notes as well.
Speaker 4: He called this last game without a play sheet, right.
Speaker 4: And one of the things that I heard Sean McVay
Speaker 4: say about playing against this defense was they confused us.
Speaker 4: They got after us, and and they had some looks
Speaker 4: and some things that we didn't see coming. And this
Speaker 4: was a this was a conversation that I had with
Speaker 4: Zim and he said unpredictable. And I didn't get into
Speaker 4: specific players with him about certain things, but he said unpredictable.
Speaker 4: I want this defense to be unpredictable. And I'm I'm paraphrasing,
Speaker 4: but I'm assuming he meant to the opposing offense. I
Speaker 4: don't want them to ever get to have a bead
Speaker 4: on where we're going and what we're doing. And and
Speaker 4: he just said that my goal is to get all
Speaker 4: the guys in the right place to be successful. And
Speaker 4: so that another thing that you want to hear from
Speaker 4: from coaches. And it looked if you looked at the
Speaker 4: first preseason game, there were some looks where they were
Speaker 4: getting after I mean, for interception against Stetsan Bennett.
Speaker 7: And the players seem to be I mean, they've been
Speaker 7: talking about there's a lot of new twists and turns
Speaker 7: to this defense. You seem to really like what's going on.
Speaker 4: This defense doesn't have the the.
Speaker 3: Complexity or the what we're gonna looking for. It's simple.
Speaker 3: It's simpler in the sense of of what they're wanting
Speaker 3: to do.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 4: I don't know how that'll grow throughout the season, but
Speaker 4: the push was to get simpler.
Speaker 3: To get faster, right, and that's what they wanted to do.
Speaker 4: And then the last one that I had a former
Speaker 4: teammate of mine and he didn't remember at first, and
Speaker 4: then I had to kind of bring stories to him
Speaker 4: and he was like, oh yeah, Now, either he was
Speaker 4: a really good liar or he actually genuinely remembered these things.
Speaker 3: But it's one of the assistants. I'm saying his name wrong.
Speaker 4: His last name is Peca, the Maunta Pekka. He's a
Speaker 4: defensive lineman. And I asked him about the defensive lineman.
Speaker 4: I asked him about Mazi and those guys, and he said,
Speaker 4: you know, you know, he said, he I'm not coach,
Speaker 4: he said, but what I will say is this young group.
Speaker 3: They listen, he said, they listen.
Speaker 4: He said, I've tried to coach some other guys and
Speaker 4: other teams in other places, and they just didn't want
Speaker 4: to grasp the concept that I was trying to teach him.
Speaker 4: And this is the guy who's been in the league. Man,
Speaker 4: he probably played in his league plus twelve years, you know,
Speaker 4: so a.
Speaker 3: Ton of knowledge.
Speaker 4: And he said, this young group listens, and so I'm
Speaker 4: hoping that's the next step that guys like Mazi and
Speaker 4: so on and so forth take. He didn't get specific
Speaker 4: and who he was talking about, but he just said, Man,
Speaker 4: I really like coaching this group because they listen and
Speaker 4: and that's I mean, I'm taking all these pluses.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that sounds good too. Yeah, So.
Speaker 4: Any any conversation that you may have had with any
Speaker 4: of the coaches while you've been there, that kind of
Speaker 4: plays into into that.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 5: They these guys, man, they they they they they good
Speaker 5: started coaches. Man, I just watch them being I hate
Speaker 5: just watching them. They constant, Man, they like most coaches,
Speaker 5: they're constantly talking to their players there, Uh, to the
Speaker 5: to the point where they have to move way back
Speaker 5: from plays because they about to tell the play. You
Speaker 5: know how some you get so hype so deep it uh,
Speaker 5: you know, stress like stress like look for you know,
Speaker 5: about to look for this, you know, you know, looking
Speaker 5: at trying to get them to read their keys.
Speaker 9: And uh, these young.
Speaker 5: Guys, you know you see Greg Ellis and the young
Speaker 5: man that you're talking about, always in these players here
Speaker 5: on and off when they'll run on and off filled
Speaker 5: with the other coach Dick jeff Man, he played like
Speaker 5: seventeen years man. They all they running on off the
Speaker 5: field talking to these guys. They don't hit, they don't
Speaker 5: wait till they get to the sideline, talk to them.
Speaker 5: They will run it out there and meet them. This
Speaker 5: is what you need to do. This is what you're
Speaker 5: looking for. This is what your keys. So they're coaching
Speaker 5: their coaching and they're trying to put them all in
Speaker 5: the right place the key I think for this campus
Speaker 5: for when you said that coached them and saying I'm
Speaker 5: trying to get guys to line up in the right
Speaker 5: place and do your responsibility because he is banking I know,
Speaker 5: coach them is banking on coach l Harrison to have
Speaker 5: that back in right because our front end is gonna
Speaker 5: take some work. And so if he can get that,
Speaker 5: they keep that back in in place with no with
Speaker 5: no major injuries. It's going to help that front end
Speaker 5: tremendous expressially past situations.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, you're right. The Peko he was a long
Speaker 7: time and he was a career nose tackle under Zimmer.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they brought him in a guest help teach that
Speaker 6: the defense. That's that's great.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was my teammate in Cincinnati way back when
Speaker 4: in two thousand and seven.
Speaker 3: He was therefore forever. Yeah, he was there for real.
Speaker 3: He was there for a real long time, real real
Speaker 3: long years.
Speaker 5: Yeah. All the guys coach Jeff Packer, Greg As, all
Speaker 5: these guys played ten plus years. They got a wealth
Speaker 5: of knowledge. Man, it's just will the players be willing
Speaker 5: to listen? Will they be willing to listen and go
Speaker 5: to the next level?
Speaker 4: So and and the one thing that this has been
Speaker 4: normally how it works. Defense, when you're talking about like,
Speaker 4: all right, what side of the ball is, usually comes
Speaker 4: together and and and.
Speaker 3: In jails and forms faster. It's always defense.
Speaker 4: Defense always comes together because if you're running Cover three,
Speaker 4: you're running like those principles don't change, you, see what
Speaker 4: I'm saying. If you're a linebacker, your drops are still
Speaker 4: the same. Cover three has been the same thing since
Speaker 4: high school, in college and in the pros. You see
Speaker 4: what I'm saying, Like, those things don't change. So if
Speaker 4: you're running the cover two or Cover four or quarters
Speaker 4: or quarter quarter half, whatever it is, those principles don't change.
Speaker 4: Now when you get the exotics is where you know
Speaker 4: if you're adding some some some sauce to it, if
Speaker 4: you're adding a rush or blitz off of it. But
Speaker 4: Cover two is Cover two. That that that does not
Speaker 4: change your drops and Cover two. So that's why sometimes
Speaker 4: it always gels and comes together a little bit quicker
Speaker 4: defensively because you've been you've been running the same coverage
Speaker 4: patterns and and the same draft that you would have
Speaker 4: in any other time that you play that position offensively.
Speaker 3: It takes more, the timing takes a little bit more.
Speaker 4: Get more guys geled, because you literally have all these
Speaker 4: guys doing separate things that that sometimes can be you know,
Speaker 4: they have to connect, It has to it has to
Speaker 4: all go together. So right now, the defense looking like
Speaker 4: to play well, have four interceptions the last game and
Speaker 4: more work to do. It will be another challenge this
Speaker 4: week against the Vegas Raiders. Uh, this is a sidebar.
Speaker 4: This is just a sidebar. This is this is just
Speaker 4: messy jess. It's just messy jests Mark Davis. Nobody, nobody
Speaker 4: is watching the Dak Prescott Jones' front office contract battle
Speaker 4: closer than Mark Davis. They're a quarterback away, their quarterback away.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 3: They they got two good tight ends.
Speaker 4: They got Mike Myers and and and and the kid
Speaker 4: from Georgia brock Bowers.
Speaker 3: They got running backs. They got Davante Adams.
Speaker 6: There.
Speaker 4: Now they got Gardamentshew and the other kid ain't O'Connell.
Speaker 4: They're they're a quarter back away, their quarterback away. And
Speaker 4: Mark Davis he I yeah, I think he'll print the money.
Speaker 4: I think he'll print the money. If I'm not mistaken, Vegas,
