I wouldn't quite say that. I wouldn't. 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:52.120 I didn't quite say that. We're just gonna say Brandon 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:54.480 Cook's having a good camp. We're not gonna say we 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:57.440 don't need CD lambing camp, who, by the way, still 0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:00.720 not in camp, still doesn't have a deal done, still 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:04.160 holding out right now for the money that he is 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:04.880 looking for. 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:07.120 But before we get more. 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.840 Into that, the Cowboys had a preseason game the other day. 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:11.840 I know you guys talked about that on Monday. Yeah, 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:16.320 they're practicing again today, right, Nate's that practice joint practice today? 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:20.280 Connected correct, tomorrow, tomorrow, today, Today's happening. 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.520 Right, it's been happening about two or three minutes. 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:24.400 All right, Well, let's go to Nate Newton, who is 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:28.799 live boots on the ground in Oxnard. Uh So tell 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:32.640 us Nate, so far, what are some of the things 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:35.239 that you've seen in practice. 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:39.440 Well, first of all, we've we've asschu mon Doga from 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:43.560 six to six to three months, six weeks to three months. 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:47.920 So that puts uh the star as the first round pick. 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:52.240 He's he's launched in there, whether he earned it or not, 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:56.160 he's the man. And uh that Austin Richards. That puts 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:58.080 him out of tackle. Now they was gonna try to 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.760 let him battle for the inside guard tween guard, but 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:04.160 now that gives them first shot at being sweet and 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:07.639 tackle are some riches and that's that's the first thing 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.200 and the next thing that we need to soar up 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:17.400 our interior defensive line. They show improvement far as this 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:21.200 game versus the run, but no no pass rush. Nobody 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:25.240 has stepped up to give us some inside pressure except 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.560 Osa where who did not play. But that's our only 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:30.840 guy that can give us some pass rush. So they're 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.400 kind of looking for some guys to step up and 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.720 get into that pass rush. And and I think that's 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.600 a lot of why the Rams wanted to come to 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:41.680 us again, to get to get this good look and 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:43.320 to get this good work. I think a lot of 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.800 things failed through for them because they had I think 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.240 it was somebody else there was one to scrimmage against. 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:53.000 But they fell through and they were the easier pickings. 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:54.880 And you know, right down being right down the road. 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:59.560 So it's why it's the instantial off the interior defensive 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.760 line and they tackles for the offense. Mind that that's 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:04.600 the most important thing right now that I. 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.560 See you made it sound last time these two practice 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:10.640 that the Rams kind of controlled the line, is that right? 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.320 They did? They did? They they came at us man 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:19.000 uh with UH with Byron Young and Jerry burst outside linebackers. 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:23.080 They they they they rushed with some intensity, with some 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.400 with some fire in them, man. And then you go 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.480 to the inside of the defensive line, you know, Tyler 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.760 David Stevens Lineman showed to be pretty active, you know, 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.440 and they got a good load uh And they got 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:37.960 Kobe Turner at the nose tackle. So they got some 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:42.880 guys that can get get after the get after the passer. Man. 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.719 And they seem to have been okay against the run 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.080 because we got when both teams got into the red 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:55.240 zone inside the this past game, nobody was successful. All 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:56.600 we had was field goal out of the field go 0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:59.720 into that last little who right at the end of 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:03.800 the But it's good work here. I mean, I wish 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.600 just could have stayed because to see it, because this 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.560 is some good work that the Rams and the Cowboys 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:11.880 are competing against one another. 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.039 One of the updates that we got from Mike McCarthy, yes, 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.480 we found out that Chill o'dok a broken big. 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.720 Toe is out for some time. 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:24.000 But also Mike McCarthy said, hey, we're gonna give the 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:28.480 rookie BB Cooper BB the first team REP. So now 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:33.200 you're talking about having Guide you and BB in that 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.880 first team rep. Operation Nate from your perspective, because I 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:38.960 know where I stand on this and I'll speak after Nate. 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:44.000 But yes, injury kind of propelled Guiding to be in 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.359 there full time. But do you think this isn't the 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.880 right way to go to Mike McCarthy A company, say hey, listen, 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:51.600 these are gonna be the guys that were going here. 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.280 We appreciate you, brock Hoffman, but I'm gonna give all 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.360 these young guys all the reps that they can leading 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:57.960 up into the season so that they can be ready 0:05:58.000 --> 0:05:58.200 to go. 0:05:59.160 --> 0:05:59.880 Come to. 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.640 Me and you talked about this joing OTAs, why are 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:08.200 we wasting time? Give these guys every possible rep that 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.320 you can that is feasible so your team can prosper, 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:13.880 you know, because if this is your long haul, this 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:17.840 is game eight and beyond. Why not? Why wait? I 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:21.320 mean it looked kind of shaky for BB at the 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.480 beginning of training camp, but as his training camp has 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:26.760 been going on in progress and he's been better and 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:28.880 better with his snaps. I think he did okay in 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:33.400 the game with his snaps. I just first, second, and 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:36.640 third round pick suggestion. You know, in this new NFL, 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:37.920 why did they wait? 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.960 I mean, why did they wait? Why did they wait? 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:42.960 That BB should have been even though. 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.200 His snap's running perfect, You should have been getting reps 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:48.520 with the back with the first team because this. 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:52.039 You know, because if Hoffman go down, now that's what 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:54.120 they realized. If Hoffman do go down. 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:56.520 That's who's running in the game. It's gonna be BB. 0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.360 So you better give him all the reps he can get, so, 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:02.360 you know, I by that from day one, you know, 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:04.960 and doubt I'm gonna this needling kid is getting real. 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.800 Not not that Sam is hurt. I hate that, but 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:10.000 I'm glad that Needland is getting all the rep's getting 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.240 he need him. This is these are seven or eight 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.360 cores guys every preseason game. We need to get better 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.200 so this team can have a chance to compete during 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:18.720 the season. 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:24.880 No, I totally agree with what that what that perspective, 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:29.160 because let's be honest, like, you drafted Guiding in the 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:33.600 first round for a reason. If if you thought that 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:38.360 Tuma or Awesome or somebody else could get the job done, 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:40.400 you would have went a different direction than the first round, 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.960 you know what I mean that that would have set 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:47.880 you up for somewhere else. But you went this route 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:50.200 first round because you knew that there was there was 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:53.200 a major need there with the loss of Tyron Smith 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:54.480 that you. 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:55.280 Had to address. 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.640 So why play around with it, like like, let's not 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.800 let's not make this thing. You know what you have 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:04.280 in this player. You know why you drafted them that 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:07.520 early and and even and even uh, you know bbe 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:11.960 relatively high draft pick in the sense of of where 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:14.920 he went. These are guys that you took that high 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.320 in the draft for an absolute purpose. Then let them 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:20.560 fulfill that purpose. There's no long there's no need to 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.560 hold them back from something that's inevitable, you know what 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:28.120 I mean, Like, you know what you have in brock Hoffin. 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.040 And I'm not saying that those guys can't get some 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:30.880 first team reps. 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:32.400 But let's not play with this thing. 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:35.200 Let's not let's not make this a situation where there 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.000 is a there's a back and forth battle. And I 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:38.560 don't want to sound like a hypcrit because I think 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.679 I've said before. You know, you know, being a guy 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:43.400 that's been around here, that you kind of want to 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.640 have an opportunity to keep your job or fight for 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:48.920 your job. That's cool, but you're gonna have to now fight. 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:52.439 From behind, right. 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:55.079 But let me ask you guys this. 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:59.280 So obviously those two guys BB and guy need to 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:02.480 get as many reps as they can, and you would 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:06.079 like to see some reps in the preseason game. McCarthy 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.440 though his history is he don't play as starters. How 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:10.240 do you think he's going to handle that house? Should 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:10.760 he handle that? 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.720 Well? This we're here against the Raiders. He should just 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:18.720 run him out there. I mean not not just you know, 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.760 Dyke needs to play and BB needs to play. It 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.160 is exceptions to every rule. You know. 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:28.080 Once they get two series. 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:30.839 Bring them out of the game. But let them get 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:35.320 let them understand, I mean maybe a half. I don't 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.800 care how long you play me. I would play him 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.800 the whole game. But that's not the new NFL. You know, 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:45.240 two series, three series, and the and the coaches decide 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.480 that they gave brock hoffin last week, I think two 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:49.679 and a half three series. Then they brought him out 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:53.600 of the game and they started the rotation. Do the 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.200 same for this kid here Bb given two, three, maybe 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.559 four series, then get him out of the game if 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:00.280 that's how you feel. But if you want to leave, man, 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:02.920 I have no problem. You know, I have no problem. 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:06.000 Which you think Dak would prefer you do. Make sure 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:07.600 he's healthier, make sure you've got reps. 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:15.360 Yeah, and and I think the more and this is 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:18.520 what anything we've said this before here on this show. 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.520 I don't care what profession you're in. If you're a baker, 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.040 the more baking you do, the better you become. If 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:28.240 you're a carpenter, the more things that you build, the 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:31.640 better that you become. If you're whatever, the a surgeon, 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:34.840 the more surgeries you partake in, the better you become. 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:38.040 I just I don't understand why we get to football 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:39.440 and all of a sudden, and I get it. This 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.000 is this is a physical game. It's a it's a 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.120 it's a it's a hurting game. But I just don't 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:50.040 understand the the the reasoning behind, especially guys who lacked 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.880 the experience. I was a little bit shocked last week 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:56.240 when I was saw when I saw that Jaylen Tobert 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:58.880 had kind of got the veteran treatment a little bit. 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:00.480 I was shocked. 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:05.600 I was floored when I was like, wait, what, wait, 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:09.800 wait where is he? That blew my mind. I'm like, 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:13.440 he isn't done enough. There's no way you've convinced me 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:17.040 enough that you're good enough that you don't need or 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:21.200 deserve any of these preseason rep Those rights are reserved 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.680 for guys who hold out, right. 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.560 You gotta be good enough to hold out, you see. 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:32.520 So I don't know why, Like we have the scientific 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:36.280 proof that anytime you want to get better in something 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:38.679 that it needs to be led by repetition. 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:42.600 And then we get the football and it's like, let's 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.720 not give him the repetition. It just doesn't. 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:48.800 And then what's gonna happen is you're gonna just say okay, 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:52.480 because two or three series are fine, but as you know, Nate, 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:54.360 you don't get you know what I'm saying, Kurt, you 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:56.160 don't get. You don't get good to the second round 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:57.439 when you go in there. You know what I'm saying. 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:00.120 When you're in the bedroom, that first round for you 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:02.040 until you get that when you come back in with 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:02.800 that second. 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:04.280 Round, you knocking the wall. 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:07.880 You know what I'm saying. You gotta get a rhythm. 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:11.200 You gotta get I get a chance to. And this 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:15.040 is why it's important to me from any perspective of 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:20.040 any position. Lineman, running back, quarterbacks, dbs. You hear it 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:23.120 a lot in baseball. It's you know, sometimes they don't 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:25.800 want that picture to cycle through that group again because 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:28.960 now if I'm a batter, I don't watch you two 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:32.320 or three goals now I didn't see. I got a rhythm, 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:37.880 I got those reps in. But in football, I gotta 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:39.920 be able to see this thing happen. I need to 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:41.800 be able to see that stunt again. I need I 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.240 need to be able to hear that to figure out 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:48.000 what this guy does, how does he play? Because if not, 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.559 then I'm gonna be shocked in the moment when when 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:52.720 when the live see when the live. 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:53.559 Bullets, beef are flying. 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:55.640 There is no blow the whistle, running again, line up, 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:58.079 run it again, line up, running again. There is no Oh, 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:00.680 it's just a preseason game, you know as not back 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:04.079 there red jerseys are on all that. No, when Miles 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:07.719 Garrett is standing over top of you, it matters. You 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:09.280 see what I'm saying, And I want to be able 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:12.440 to have. Now, will all the reps in the world 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:12.840 prepare you. 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:15.680 For Miles Garrett? I don't know, but I know that 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:16.160 you will be. 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:19.880 I know that you would be better suited to have 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:23.000 the reps and be ready for him then not have 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.800 the reps. And now everything that you see is new 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.320 to you. That's the part I just don't I don't. 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:30.200 I don't get why we get to this point and 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:33.040 all of a sudden we start pulling reps away that. 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:38.439 It makes sense for guys that need them. 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:43.720 You got anything, Nate, that was good unless you had something. 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.840 I thought you got something, but that one. You know, Kurt, 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:49.240 you put in an interesting thing talking about reps, having 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:52.200 those live moments. You you found something in the athletic 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:56.080 that talked about they took a poll and I want 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:57.280 to I want to I want to hear what you 0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:00.240 have to think about this Nate and YouTube Kurt the 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.240 Athletic took a poll and there are a few teams 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:08.160 that tackle in practice to the ground. Those teams are 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:13.200 the Chiefs, the Dolphins, the Lions, the Steelers. When you 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:16.960 think about those teams, you think about at least two 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:19.160 out of the three, two out of the four are 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:21.520 kind of blue collar, right, So Lions are still a 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:24.920 blue collar, you know. And then you think the Chiefs, well, 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.120 they doing something right they stay in the Super Bowl, 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:30.320 and then the Dolphins kind of their new their new 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:33.000 found swinging their thing. I want to get you guys opinion. 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.120 Don't answer now. We're gonna take a break. When we 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:38.640 come back. I want to hear your opinion on your 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:42.520 thoughts of tackling to the ground in practice. Does it hurt? 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:46.320 Does it help? Is it minutia?

I didn't do it 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:21.080 to get into the show. But Kirk, where you're at? 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:23.000 How's your mentors outdidentals doing good? 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:25.199 Everything's uh going all right? 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:26.600 Hook Nate? What about you? 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:29.800 How's your mentors and dentals great, thanks. 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:34.720 Good good mentors are good. Starting a new job soon, 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:37.600 so I'll be getting new benefits. So once I get 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:39.760 that intact, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna attack that. I 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:43.159 told you I tipped. I tipped my wisdom tooth. So 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.720 once I get the new dentals, the new dental benefits, 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:48.320 I'll go and I'll go and attack those things because 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:50.520 that's gonna be I don't want to pay that out. 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:52.119 Of I don't want to pay that out of pocket costs. 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:53.480 I don't want to pay that out of pocket. 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:56.080 The good thing is, and I know, Nate, you probably 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:59.280 use this, but one of the benefits at the NFL 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:01.560 still gives some of the former players that I do 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:03.280 get reimbursed. But I just don't want to come out 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:05.440 of the pocket with a couple of thousand dollars. I'll 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:07.720 just it's not killing me. Now I can go get 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:10.920 it done and then get reimbursed. It's not it's not painful, 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:13.440 it doesn't hurt. I just know that if I don't 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:15.359 get it done, you know it's gonna turn into that. 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:17.960 So I'm gonna just wait till these new benefits something 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:21.400 so I can keep some money in my pocket. With 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:23.640 that jazz, how's your mentals and dentals? 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:26.439 It's like a feeling. 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:30.840 Okay, Jazz is coming out of her locks, and I've 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:31.960 told everybody that. 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:36.399 Breaking breaking. Sorry. 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:39.320 Sorry, you know, I tried to do what we do 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:43.399 on this show, but I just didn't. Sorry, sorry, dang shoot, 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:46.040 didn't mean to do that, all right. I teased it 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:50.560 before we went in to break some football teams during 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:54.200 practice tackle to the ground. 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:56.200 Not a lot. 0:18:56.840 --> 0:19:00.600 Well, they ranked them, and there was three teams that 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:03.960 did it they said often. There was one team that 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:07.960 did it very often, which is Steelers. I guess Mike Tomlin. 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:10.159 That's his thing. We're gonna get physical in practice. 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:15.960 And his quote was you can't box without sparring. 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:18.080 Yeah. I think that's a great, great quote. 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:18.360 Yeah. 0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:20.840 So, and you got to look at those four teams, 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:22.879 you know, you mentioned them. Two were in the super 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:27.360 Bowl last year, and like you said, Steelers are known 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:30.600 for their toughness and Tomlin, especially with him as coaches 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:32.360 all these years, and then the Dolphins are a team 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:35.240 on the rise. So you gotta wonder. I mean, heck, 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:38.520 Chiefs Patrick Mahons played in their first p Chiefs start 0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:41.960 there yeah, you know, they play their starters, so I 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:43.840 don't know. We've talked about it before. There has to 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:46.240 be a balance, and you just got to wonder, as 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:48.399 he said, how can you be ready to box if 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:49.160 you're not sparring? 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:55.520 And they I'll let you answer next. I am. I'm 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:58.720 a little bit indifferent, really, and the reason being is. 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:05.960 I take this football team, for example, and one of 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:09.280 the things that we've longed for. I've longed for is 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:15.679 a level of physicality to be the identity. And the 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:18.119 only way that you get to that point is a 0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:23.119 you you get players in here that are physical, b 0:20:23.880 --> 0:20:28.040 you begin to coach in a physical manner. I had 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:32.160 I had an opportunity to have a conversation with excuse 0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:34.439 me with with Zim. I had a breakfast comedy. It 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:36.560
