Speaker 4: thank you.
Speaker 6: I remember the time I did his zoom with lt
Speaker 6: and uh Tomlinson did it in his uh in this
Speaker 6: theater room. Yeah, I'm like, wow, I'm like, why why
Speaker 6: am I going out to the Look Theater.
Speaker 3: I just need to go to your house. I may
Speaker 3: got legit fit. It was nice.

Speaker 6: Chris Rock and the Tucks and go live from LT's house.
Speaker 2: Some money, yeah, man, yeah, yeah, no, he took care
Speaker 2: of it very well.
Speaker 6: ESPN Football Power indexes out and the Cowboys and of eight,
Speaker 6: the Jets are six.
Speaker 3: Throw the whole list away.
Speaker 2: Cowboys played the Jets with Week two.
Speaker 4: List the way because the Jets are but the Cowboys
Speaker 4: of course.
Speaker 6: I'm just trying to understand all this hype behind the Jets,
Speaker 6: which which is, yeah, good for the Cowboys because you know,
Speaker 6: we'll let every people how to shine. But I just
Speaker 6: I just like, why are people buying into this Jets thing?
Speaker 2: Anyway? Your number one team on the.
Speaker 6: Power in nexolence Kansas City, as it should, No problem
Speaker 6: is that number two is Buffalo, Number three phil Alphia, no.
Speaker 3: Problem, good man. I don't know, man, I.
Speaker 4: Know how last season ended and all that, But man,
Speaker 4: I just the Cincinnati Bengals to me, I think they're
Speaker 4: better than the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 2: Well, they are on the list.
Speaker 4: They on the list. But I'm saying, well, we listed
Speaker 4: the top three. I just think you said they should
Speaker 4: be at number two instead of below.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I don't think Buffalo should be at number two. I
Speaker 4: think Phillis should be at number two, and then probably
Speaker 4: Cincinnati at three, and then Buffalo below. Now, I mean
Speaker 4: we watched, Listen, we watched the Super Bowl game. It
Speaker 4: was just close one team and Philly wing got better
Speaker 4: on paper. So I don't understand how Buffalo is then
Speaker 4: ahead of them. I think Josh Allen and I just
Speaker 4: the Josh Allen argument is always intriguing, you know. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 4: the pictures of us, I'm telling you who he is,
Speaker 4: but I think people make a lot of him and
Speaker 4: his ability, and any team that has gone to it,
Speaker 4: it's been because of the playoffs. It's been because of
Speaker 4: their quarterback, you know what you need. And so Buffalo
Speaker 4: is always going to be in contention because of Josh
Speaker 4: Allen and also you know, Stephon Man. They got some
Speaker 4: really good players and they got a damn good defense.
Speaker 4: Also to go with that.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go with what you're saying. I'm taking a
Speaker 6: bit further because this is true. Because I've talked to
Speaker 6: too many people, my friends who worked there. There is
Speaker 6: an East Coast bias when it comes to these ESPN
Speaker 6: type things. To an East Coast biason, it's also becomes
Speaker 6: a bias of who they like. Be it, Hey, we're
Speaker 6: gonna talk about the I Woars and plump them up high.
Speaker 6: We'll talk about the Lakers. They do that there to
Speaker 6: disrespect a man who's actually been to a Super Bowl
Speaker 6: versus another guy who's a good football player. Okay, I
Speaker 6: think Josh Allen is a When you're talking about the
Speaker 6: top five card, I will put him there along with
Speaker 6: Joe Burrow. But Joe Burrow went and did that thing
Speaker 6: you talk about not a whole lot of help.
Speaker 2: That offensive line was terrible.
Speaker 6: I mean, if they have some help up front, they
Speaker 6: might they might have pulled the whole thing off. So
Speaker 6: I do see your point when you talk about the disrespect,
Speaker 6: And I do think that's because because when you're a
Speaker 6: Midwest team and I don't. I do think you get
Speaker 6: ignored by an ESPN and that kind of things.
Speaker 4: They So you're saying Cincinnati should be number two or
Speaker 4: Philly should be number two, were you I would.
Speaker 6: Say this, I would put the Bengals ahead of Buffalo
Speaker 6: Power Index. I agree with him on that.
Speaker 4: Well, look, you made a comment last last show that
Speaker 4: we have that there's always a team that's gonna come
Speaker 4: from the bottom of the bear and work their way up,
Speaker 4: and I think we saw that from Philly even though
Speaker 4: they were a playoff team. They crawled in to the
Speaker 4: seventh seed in the playoff, and they were that team
Speaker 4: last year. To me, that came from the basement all
Speaker 4: the way to the top to play in a super Bowl.
Speaker 3: And it's the time consistency improved thing.
Speaker 6: For me when I brought that. We're about last play.
Speaker 6: So every year there is a last play, a team
Speaker 6: who was finished last year.
Speaker 3: Before, who wins their divisi Jacksonville Bingo.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well Philly for me, I mean I wasn't surprised
Speaker 6: I picked them to win the division. A lot of
Speaker 6: people thought Philly was ripe and ready to win that division.
Speaker 4: So after the acquisition of AJ Brown and all the
Speaker 4: things that they did in the off season, Yeah, you
Speaker 4: would have been a fool not to think that. But let'sten,
Speaker 4: I'm talking about a team that maybe they didn't put
Speaker 4: them at number two because they're waiting on them to
Speaker 4: show that time consistency and proved to put them at
Speaker 4: number two. Look last year season, I'm not wanting to
Speaker 4: call that a joke, all right, but do it again.
Speaker 4: Let's do it again, and I would put the Bengals there.
Speaker 4: I would put the Bengals then for because their consistency
Speaker 4: has shown that they backed to back two years in
Speaker 4: the row, a couple of players away from being being
Speaker 4: back where they were back in the Super Bowl. They
Speaker 4: have played the Cincinnati Cincinnati Okay, ye'll talking about the Banks,
Speaker 4: not a Cincinnati has showed that consistency over the last
Speaker 4: two years.
Speaker 3: That's who. That's why. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: When you look at consistency from Philly, they made the
Speaker 4: playoffs the year before. Next year they come back, they
Speaker 4: get better, they go to Super Bowl. I mean this
Speaker 4: is two years back to back playoff team, the following
Speaker 4: year they go to Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: They're starting to show some consistenty. It's somebody unique.
Speaker 4: How you don't get a Cowboys that same see said
Speaker 4: the super Bowl.
Speaker 3: Okay, went to the super Bowl.
Speaker 4: Yes, I got all right, all right?
Speaker 3: Truth.
Speaker 4: If the Cowboys go to the super Bowl consistent, that's
Speaker 4: three back to back playoffs seasons and Super Bowl right
Speaker 4: heck trying to hop on because I'm.
Speaker 3: What'd you say.
Speaker 2: Your truth over? I don't want to hear that.
Speaker 3: No, Cincinnati should be above Buffalo.
Speaker 6: To me, I had one more thing I want to
Speaker 6: throw about the Bengals. They should be trying to get
Speaker 6: a contract done with Ezekiel Elliott because Joe Mixon has
Speaker 6: shown a propensity to be injured seventeen game season. Give
Speaker 6: me mixing Elliott. I think you can do something right there.
Speaker 6: I am one of the I told some anything Zeus
Speaker 6: wat Cat would be like, oh, Zeke's I said he's
Speaker 6: not done. He's not done at all. I said, you
Speaker 6: put him in the proper time share. I think he
Speaker 6: can really excel if he went to a team and
Speaker 6: became the lead back. When you start to think about opportunities,
Speaker 6: I think the guy could get you a thousand yards.
Speaker 2: I do believe that.
Speaker 6: I just think when people leave here, especially stars on
Speaker 6: big contracts, it's almost as though we run them down.
Speaker 6: Extra Terrence Newman left here, Man, people talked it was
Speaker 6: just trash talk. That guy dude was playing. He ripped
Speaker 6: muscle from the zap Donald. I mean it was crazy.
Speaker 6: I talked to team and I said, Timmy, why aren't
Speaker 6: you telling people what's going on?
Speaker 2: I don't want anybody. I think it's an excuse.
Speaker 6: And he's like my teammatesnow's going I said, but the
Speaker 6: problem is we in the public, especially me, we don't know,
Speaker 6: so people just thinking you, mister toasty torch, can't guard
Speaker 6: anybody anymore. Guy went on to Cincinnati and Minnesota and
Speaker 6: played till he was forty plus years old. But when
Speaker 6: he left there was that remnant of good riddance DeMarcus,
Speaker 6: where yeah, man, he not worth the production dot all.
Speaker 6: That old miss guy goes up to goes up to Denver,
Speaker 6: balls out, balls out, mentors von Miller, who becomes Super
Speaker 6: Bowl MVP.
Speaker 2: Now he's getting ready to go get a gold jacket
Speaker 2: this August.
Speaker 6: I feel that Ezekiel Elliott Elliott is getting some of
Speaker 6: that same thing where people are just adding extra salt
Speaker 6: onto this thing, and I think they're gonna be mistaken
Speaker 6: if he goes to the right opportunity.
Speaker 2: Cincinnati the Chargers.
Speaker 6: These are two organizations, in my opinion, who should put
Speaker 6: out a contract this of a you know, a bear contract.
Speaker 6: Maybe asking the sentence in there, but I think Ezekiel.
Speaker 6: It can help them and more importantly help the quarterback
Speaker 6: Joe Burrow, justin Herbert two headed monster.
Speaker 3: So Zeke going to fool with Kelling Moore.
Speaker 6: You know what if you're Kellen Moore and you're putting
Speaker 6: in your offense a guy that you know, and oh,
Speaker 6: by the way, what can he what can we what
Speaker 6: do we know this man can do?
Speaker 2: He can pass? And if I'm about to give a
Speaker 2: big old fat contract.
Speaker 6: To Herbert Burrow, which both of these organizations are doing,
Speaker 6: I like to have somebody I.
Speaker 2: Know who can go ahead and take care of that job.
Speaker 6: Austin Eckler with the Chargers right now, you're not happy.
Speaker 6: Who knows where that goes. We saw what happened with
Speaker 6: Melvin Gordon. They don't suffer that. You're not about to
Speaker 6: hold them hostage. Try to sit if you want to.
Speaker 6: You know, they don't care. But I just think of
Speaker 6: that player as this is a player who I believe
Speaker 6: that still has something there and people can look up
Speaker 6: and like, oh why did we let him go? Oh
Speaker 6: he still had more? Because we give guys extra rundown when.
Speaker 3: They leave here.
Speaker 4: I'm just thinking of the story, you know what, I'm saying,
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow, Ohio State, Eliah four, he went to LSU
Speaker 4: and then Ezekiel Elliot going to Cincinnati.
Speaker 3: I think the story would be crazy.
Speaker 4: Now you've got Ohio State and LSU connection in there,
Speaker 4: because you got Jamar Chase there, you got Joe Burrow,
Speaker 4: now you got Ezekiel La.
Speaker 3: You got connections all over the place. You got a
Speaker 3: story to tell.
Speaker 4: And by the way, like you said, Joe Burrow also
Speaker 4: needs that pass protection as well. And Ezekiel Ellen we've
Speaker 4: seen him be able to still make big time runs.
Speaker 4: He not breaking sixty seventy yards, but when you need
Speaker 4: three or four you need a guy that's gonna pound
Speaker 4: to make sure that you move in the sticks. Ezekiel
Speaker 4: Elliott can still get that done. So my vote would be, hey, man,
Speaker 4: you find a way to get to Cincinnati and go
Speaker 4: up there and make that thing happen. They were a
Speaker 4: play away from winning the Super Bowl two years ago.
Speaker 6: Well, that offensive line is still not an elite They
Speaker 6: don't have an elite offensive line, so that to me
Speaker 6: even more so why I would go out and get
Speaker 6: at Ezekiela to help protect Joe Burrow. But yes, the
Speaker 6: Ohio connection, I did think of that as well. Cincinnati
Speaker 6: Columbus very close to each other, and he'd be in
Speaker 6: an area where he would have an automatic fan base
Speaker 6: that organization through the years his favor taking Ohio State
Speaker 6: football player.
Speaker 2: So I just think between Mixing.
Speaker 6: And Elliott and that division where you guys know you
Speaker 6: got to play defense. These games are nasty in December
Speaker 6: and January, and that AFC north of that kind of
Speaker 6: ground game. Added what the receivers they have, right, Okay,
Speaker 6: they got weapons. This to means where you improve in
Speaker 6: a small move, if we look at it as a
Speaker 6: small move, it could be a big move down.
Speaker 4: No, both of you make great arguments, and I think
Speaker 4: what fortified your argument is talking about Ezekiel Elliet from
Speaker 4: a past block and standpoint for Cincinnati, Joe Burrows being
Speaker 4: getting punished. I mean, all of the success that he's had,
Speaker 4: he's one of the most sacked quarterback, pressured, you know,
Speaker 4: hit quarterbacks in the NFL.
Speaker 3: And I've never.
Speaker 4: Understood Cincinnati's modus OPERENDI when it comes down to how
Speaker 4: they recruit, how they draft. Excuse me, now, they draft
Speaker 4: their offensive line, bring in offensive lineman. I knew they
Speaker 4: bought in Lao Collins. He's not healthy. I don't believe
Speaker 4: he's there anymore. I don't know this, but what I'm
Speaker 4: saying is is that they have to get some type
Speaker 4: of help for Joe Burrow on that offensive line. Bigger
Speaker 4: than that. You know, when you talk about when a
Speaker 4: guy leaves here, how he doesn't have anything left. I
Speaker 4: think that for Zeke, you know, he's cash in, he's
Speaker 4: got all the money. Doesn't really what he said, what
Speaker 4: do you have to play for other than a championship?
Speaker 4: That's the best for me? That That's what I'm looking
Speaker 4: at when I when they say Cincinnati, that gives you
Speaker 4: that opportunity. You're gonna go play somewhere that's gonna have
Speaker 4: a bona fide opportunity to play for a super Bowl.
Speaker 4: And if he can remain healthy throughout the season, man,
Speaker 4: I mean that would that's a great place for him
Speaker 4: to be. I'm still reserving hope for what fun to
Speaker 4: come back.
Speaker 6: He gonna take Stephan Gilmore's number, now, ain't gonna take
Speaker 6: another number?
Speaker 3: What number he gonna take? His college number? Come on, man, listen.
Speaker 3: Separate question.
Speaker 4: Is Joe Burrow about to start a trend because all
Speaker 4: the reports are saying that he's thinking about possibly taking
Speaker 4: it to count his teammates and how much how much
Speaker 4: of the pot they may need in order for them
Speaker 4: to have the right players around him. And he's thinking
Speaker 4: about a guy like t Higgins who was looking for
Speaker 4: a deal. Did you see Joe Burrow taking a discount
Speaker 4: so he can so he can make sure that I'm
Speaker 4: just asking who is exact I don't know. I'm just
Speaker 4: that's a bigger question. Who is his agent? Who is
Speaker 4: talking to this man? Because the last person we saw
Speaker 4: do that with Tom, Tom was the last person to
Speaker 4: do that. It worked ain't worked out perfect for him,
Speaker 4: But at some point, Dog, you want to catch it
Speaker 4: Tom and no one else and nobody else.
Speaker 2: Tom out there like a hitchhiker alone.
Speaker 3: You know, nobody. He played for twenty hey to this count.
Speaker 4: And in the end, the Mannings, the Mannings ain't never,
Speaker 4: they ain't never gating no money back. Nobody ever leaves
Speaker 4: money on the table. A Rogers ain't giving no not
Speaker 4: a dime. I'm just asking. I'm just asking the report,
Speaker 4: the reports out there. Do you think it's a possibility
Speaker 4: that he says, hey, man, I want to make sure
Speaker 4: I get some other people pay.
Speaker 3: Make sure this is at least structured in the way
Speaker 3: where we can.
Speaker 4: Get a guy like t Higgins picked up, because the
Speaker 4: T Higgins Jamar Chase connection with Joe Burrow is a
Speaker 4: big reason for them being able to go to the
Speaker 4: super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Personally, I'm skeptical.
Speaker 3: Okay, well, at least at least you're not saying this
Speaker 3: is zero.
Speaker 6: I'm skeptical because at the end of the day, and
Speaker 6: that's why I asked about the agent, what is the thing?
Speaker 6: Agents live on percentages that but agents also live on
Speaker 6: the fact. Hey, Danny, you want to sign with me
Speaker 6: because I get my guy's top dollar. Now, heck you
Speaker 6: saw Danny, you ain't get top dollar, right, you want
Speaker 6: to go over there with his agent. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 6: I'm just sitting in your living room and talk to
Speaker 6: you and your fan. I'm here to get Heckma Harrison
Speaker 6: the top dollar because heck my Haeriton, you deserve it.
Speaker 3: This business.
Speaker 6: You can be going tomorrow. But we ain't taking on discount.
Speaker 6: We get heck everything and good. It's not Hecma's job
Speaker 6: to save team money. That's what I'm saying. Where the
Speaker 6: agent thing comes in, and that's like, who's this guy?
Speaker 6: Because these dudes live off this whole thing of being
Speaker 6: able to nego. I mean they are dirty. At a
Speaker 6: friend of mine, an agent still in the agency business,
Speaker 6: but the stuff he tell me how they would do
Speaker 6: each other behind it, I'm like, oh, I means, man,
Speaker 6: how do you guys not throw.
Speaker 3: Throw blow lows? Man?
Speaker 6: Knowing people are doing this kind of not only trying
Speaker 6: to take you away, but what they're using against you.
Speaker 2: So when you say that, if Burrow's.
Speaker 6: My client and he decides that he wants to take
Speaker 6: less as an agent, I gotta figure out how do
Speaker 6: I spend this?
Speaker 2: Do I spend this?
Speaker 3: As?
Speaker 6: Hey, Joe, you're the working man of Cincinnati and you're going,
Speaker 6: you know, we're about to set up the foundation to
Speaker 6: the feeds the kids and central I mean, I gotta
Speaker 6: come up with some kind of way to spend this
Speaker 6: because it will be used against me.
Speaker 4: Could that be a start for why it's coming out now?
Speaker 4: Could it be getting spent already? Man?
Speaker 3: I'm just let you know.
Speaker 4: Man, Joe said, I'm doing everything I can to get
Speaker 4: him the most money. And Joe said he want to
Speaker 4: make sure he get his guys. I mean that's admirable.
Speaker 4: I love how that looks, but man, you better get
Speaker 4: your money. Oh yeah, I.
Speaker 6: Come back into this whole thing about Tom Brady. This
Speaker 6: is what I always used to say. Tom Brady's saving
Speaker 6: them money. But show me where the Patriots are out
Speaker 6: here spending big dollars. Wes welcome. They never spent any
Speaker 6: money on that. We ain't spending money on you. I
Speaker 6: mean all the channel, Joner Bye. I mean that was
Speaker 6: my thing is Tom, you're saving that money. And eventually
Speaker 6: Tom was getting mad too. I'm say saving dollar what
Speaker 6: a dollar is at?
Speaker 3: Now? Yes, they were going to Super Bowl like, hey,
Speaker 3: the recipe is here, we got it.
Speaker 6: But you're thinking, hey, man, I'm gonna I'll take ten
Speaker 6: dollars less so I can bring Danny Long.
Speaker 2: You know what they said up by Danny.
Speaker 3: Yeah huh, Now they gave you ten dollars, you.
Speaker 2: Can bring Danny.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: We just don't feel that way about Danny like you do.
Speaker 4: If they did that to Joe, and Joe was like, man,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take list money so I can get Tea
Speaker 4: Higgins paid to make sure he on the squad, and
Speaker 4: the Joe Burrow signed and they're like deuces. Team that'd
Speaker 4: be some of the dirtiest out But you sit.
Speaker 3: That's what I know. You sitting.
Speaker 4: I'm saying you see, I still would be dirty and
Speaker 4: still would be like, Oh, man, they call up.
Speaker 3: See how they got you.
Speaker 2: They got you, they did it to you.
Speaker 4: Oh they did Oh god sniffer man, Oh they gotte
Speaker 4: they did him, dirty boy.

Speaker 6: that I don't consider him a great wide receiver. He's
Speaker 6: not even a number one white. He's a good player,
Speaker 6: but great is something he has yet to achieve in
Speaker 6: my opinion.
Speaker 3: That's what I said.
Speaker 4: Who said? Did he say somebody said he was great?
Speaker 2: That's what Yes, that's what he said. What is is
Speaker 2: because I hear a lot of people talk.
Speaker 3: About it about him being great?
Speaker 6: Right, he says, but does one season make him great?
Speaker 6: And he pointed out his career stats.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, no, I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't think he's great. Tom consistently.
Speaker 3: I don't think.
Speaker 4: I don't think he's shown that, and then him not
Speaker 4: being healthy last year didn't help.
Speaker 8: Do.
Speaker 4: I think that he is a hell of a deep threat. Absolutely.
Speaker 4: When he can stretch the field and go and make
Speaker 4: those fifty to fifty ball, catch those fifty fifty balls,
Speaker 4: that's when he's at his best. It's not him running
Speaker 4: hitch riots and doing all that. When he could take
Speaker 4: the top off of the defense, that that's when he's
Speaker 4: at his best. And I don't think last year he
Speaker 4: was able to do that because he wasn't able to
Speaker 4: come out of his cuts and people were able to
Speaker 4: just sit on every route that he ran. But I
Speaker 4: don't think he's great. I think he has some stuff
Speaker 4: to prove. And this year he'll be a number three receiver,
Speaker 4: so he's gonna have a lot of stuff to prove.
Speaker 4: I mean, you got Ceedee Lamb. I know, I'm serious.
Speaker 4: You got you got Ceedee Lamb, and that's what you
Speaker 4: got cook you got Cooks, and then you got Michael Gallup.
Speaker 6: And that's what Michael right here in his response where
Speaker 6: he says, I don't believe is the number two, but
Speaker 6: I'm just a fan of just wondering what is everyone
Speaker 6: seeing that makes him say to say that hopefully he'll
Speaker 6: be himself this year. So that's what he there.
Speaker 4: You know, when it comes to the argument about Michael
Speaker 4: Gallup is it's weird for me because I view him
Speaker 4: more than just what he's been pigeonholed in two and
Speaker 4: that's the what you just said, take the top off.
Speaker 4: He's a deep threat. He can on a god boss
Speaker 4: fab as you know post route, that's all he got
Speaker 4: in his repertoire. He's shown, he's shown us over the
Speaker 4: years that he's more than that. And I think twenty
Speaker 4: nineteen with him and Amari Cooper, that was the year
Speaker 4: that I thought, with his eleven hundred yard season that
Speaker 4: Michael was alluding to the one year that ended up
Speaker 4: allowing him to get paid. I think you saw everything
Speaker 4: that he can bring to you out of his wheelhouse.
Speaker 4: But then obviously what is been the detern to his
Speaker 4: productivity has been the injuries. Him and Ceedee Lamb just
Speaker 4: haven't been able to mesh like a true one, to
Speaker 4: receive a cord like you'd like to see, like in
Speaker 4: Cincinnati in places like that because of his injuries. But finally,
Speaker 4: hopefully this is. I think the thing is is that
Speaker 4: the Cowboy front office has wanted that they see the
Speaker 4: potential for that.
Speaker 3: And when he did his interview, I believe it is
Speaker 3: a week ago.
Speaker 4: I don't know which one of our beat writers he
Speaker 4: was with, but he basically saying, look, I'm happy to
Speaker 4: be back in into you know, to come back into headquarters.
Speaker 4: You know, I'm feeling more confident in my knee coming
Speaker 4: back from an ACL injury.
Speaker 3: That to me gives you the pause.
Speaker 4: Are their belief that Michael Gallup can resurrect his career
Speaker 4: from being that guy that's often injured to giving you
Speaker 4: the eleven hundred yards. But here's the question that I
Speaker 4: have for y'all. You know, what is productivity for your
Speaker 4: number two? Because for me, a name brand number one
Speaker 4: wide receiver is gonna give you thirteen to fifteen double
Speaker 4: digit touchdowns. We've yet to get that from CD Lamb,
Speaker 4: the double digit touchdowns, but he's on the cusp of that.
Speaker 4: I believe this season for Michael Gallup, if you get
Speaker 4: five to eight, seven or eight touchdowns, to me, that's
Speaker 4: what you want from a number two receiver. And let's
Speaker 4: not act like the number two receiver in Dallas has
Speaker 4: been hasn't been the tight end?
Speaker 3: You know? No, You're right.
Speaker 4: Well, first, I want to go back to saying I
Speaker 4: don't I want to make sure nobody believes that I'm
Speaker 4: pigeonholing Michael Gallup into saying that all he could do
Speaker 4: is run deep ross. I'm saying, when he's at his best,
Speaker 4: that's what he's doing. He is the guy right what
Speaker 4: the defensive coordinator is looking at guys, he's saying, ceedee lamb,
Speaker 4: we got to make sure we don't let him do this.
Speaker 4: Michael Gallup, You got to make sure you don't let
Speaker 4: him get to this part of the field because if
Speaker 4: he does, truly the record game is what I'm saying,
Speaker 4: And he can still run all the routes, but the
Speaker 4: part that fears defensive coordinators is him taking the top
Speaker 4: off the defense.
Speaker 3: Number two. Man, Like, when you look around the league,
Speaker 3: and we.
Speaker 4: Just talked about Cincinnati and what those two receivers are
Speaker 4: able to do. Jamar Chase is a number one. And
Speaker 4: then when you look at t Higgins number two, and
Speaker 4: he's trying to get paid because he's putting up over
Speaker 4: a thousand yards and I don't know how many touchdowns
Speaker 4: he had, but he's a force out there. Even when
Speaker 4: you look at Justin Jefferson and Adam Thieln, Adam Thielan
Speaker 4: had more touchdowns in the previous two years than Justin
Speaker 4: Jefferson did.
Speaker 3: I think it was double digits a Brown.
Speaker 4: So when you look at guys who are number twos
Speaker 4: in this day and age of the receiver, yeah, they
Speaker 4: essentially have. You have to be able to say, hey man,
Speaker 4: he probably could go be at number one on another team.
Speaker 4: That's what people are looking at for some of their
Speaker 4: number twos. When especially for a team like the Cowboys,
Speaker 4: who's our number two this year? Cooks number one on
Speaker 4: any other team? He was number one out there in Houston,
Speaker 4: and he played like a number one out there in
Speaker 4: New Orleans and was very very competitive out there in LA.
Speaker 4: So when you're thinking about the number two guys, yeah,
Speaker 4: you gotta say, hey man, this dude right here, if
Speaker 4: he's not on this team, somebody's probably paying him to
Speaker 4: be a number one. Do you see that in Michael
Speaker 4: gall I don't. I don't, And the reason why I
Speaker 4: don't see that is because of the injuries, and I
Speaker 4: think post previous to that, I would have said based
Speaker 4: off of that one year, Oh, this kid, he can
Speaker 4: go somewhere and be a number one. He was going
Speaker 4: and he was trending in that direction and the injuries
Speaker 4: derailed him.
Speaker 6: When I think of number two is just just listening
Speaker 6: to our conversation right now, T Higgins. I think Odell
Speaker 6: Beckham junior when he was with the Rams, absolutely that
Speaker 6: Super Bowl year cleared.
Speaker 4: But that's the season Cooper Cup had, like I mean,
Speaker 4: crazy numbers, one of the Triple Crown.
Speaker 6: But I'm just saying that boom, here's your two Devontae
Speaker 6: Smith and Philadelphia. I think of him as a two feeling.
Speaker 6: Last year in Minnesota, you got Jefferson, here's feeling. Mike
Speaker 6: Williams out there with the Chargers, you.
Speaker 2: Got Cannan down him.
Speaker 6: Michael Gallup is not in that realm of receiver when
Speaker 6: I'm thinking about what these guys do, I don't see
Speaker 6: him in that fashion, and so he's got work to
Speaker 6: do to get there.
Speaker 2: That's that's you know.
Speaker 6: When we talk about where a guy is and where
Speaker 6: you see him, he's not in that conversation yet, He's
Speaker 6: got work to do to get himself in there.
Speaker 4: Like I said, if for me, the numbers for Michael
Speaker 4: Gallup is in a thousand yards. The numbers for Michael
Speaker 4: Gallup is between seven and eight hundred yards and possibly
Speaker 4: having that Adam Thieling ten touchdown year, you know, because
Speaker 4: everybody's double team and on cd on on the outside.
Speaker 4: That's a success for me as a number two. Because
Speaker 4: Adam Thieling his numbers are seven sixteen last year, seven
Speaker 4: twenty six a year before and his best season nine
Speaker 4: twenty eight, nine twenty five and twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: So number of touchdowns in no seasons fourteen, ten and
Speaker 3: six yeah, yards out there.
Speaker 4: What did I say is is the what the best?
Speaker 4: If you would you would aspire to. Everybody wants fourteen touchdowns,
Speaker 4: even as a number one receiver, you want fourteen.
Speaker 3: Touchdowns off the rep.
Speaker 4: But for I think for Michael Gallup, let's let's go
Speaker 4: back to Ceede Lamb. If Ceedee Lamb has fourteen hundred
Speaker 4: yards fourteen touchdowns, that he is crowning himself as the
Speaker 4: number one receiver. We just hadn't seen him a cent
Speaker 4: to that level. As far as the production is there,
Speaker 4: the yard is is there, but the touchdowns haven't been there. Listen,
Speaker 4: Let's let's just answer this question here because you brought
Speaker 4: it up, and I want to know your opinion. Who
Speaker 4: is our number two receiver right nowoks? So why we
Speaker 4: asking Michael Gallup? He's not even the number two on
Speaker 4: our squad right now? And even and you know Michael
Speaker 4: who had hit sent us detwity, he's a he's not
Speaker 4: a number two, but to me, he's always been a three.
Speaker 6: What I think of go back to old school rams,
Speaker 6: is it go? I mean it was Terry Tory Hill,
Speaker 6: it was Isa King. I look at Gallop like that
Speaker 6: when we when when the Cowboys, when he had Kelvin Martin,
Speaker 6: no number three guy, damn sure effective right there. But
Speaker 6: you had Urban, you had Harper next thing, you know,
Speaker 6: Kelvin Martin out here?
Speaker 3: Catch it bad?
Speaker 2: Oh forgot about Kelvin Martin.
Speaker 6: That's what I look at my gala bats right now.
Speaker 6: That's what he's shown you in his best it's in
Speaker 6: that spot. If he wants to be considered it too
Speaker 6: and move up to that, then yeah, you got to
Speaker 6: go there. I know he said before, Hey, I like
Speaker 6: to think you know I'm a number one receiver. Then
Speaker 6: that's fine. But right now, right now, and that's my
Speaker 6: biggest thing is right now what old Bill Parcell's on.
Speaker 2: All I can go by is what I see.
Speaker 6: By the way, went to Swooth the King, your man
Speaker 6: Danny here talking about the bruh.
Speaker 3: That's the one bruh.
Speaker 2: This is good.
Speaker 3: At first, after that, I thought.
Speaker 4: You were eating beans with and I was like, what
Speaker 4: is a bean? Berl strawberries? That's granola. Set it off, man,
Speaker 4: This is good. Now looks good.
Speaker 3: No, it's good.
Speaker 2: I appreciate you man, you know.
Speaker 4: Oh and do we all trust DeVante Adams in his
Speaker 4: opinion on on receivers and the skilled positions in the league. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 4: because he said he said our guys top five. He said,
Speaker 4: CD Lamb is a top five receiver in the league,
Speaker 4: and I'm leaning towards to believe in them, just based
Speaker 4: off what we've seen him do last year and kind
Speaker 4: of the the efficiencies that we had on our offense.
Speaker 4: I think that this year, revamped with Mike McCarthy as
Speaker 4: a play caller, I think we see ceedee Lamb. He
Speaker 4: took off last year, but I think he has sent
Speaker 4: to that, like what you said, crowning himself, you know,
Speaker 4: one of the top guys in the league.
Speaker 6: By the way the NFL owners meanings to go and
Speaker 6: look at get Look who sitting down there on the
Speaker 6: microphone talking Joe Jr. Cowboy secondary defensive passing game court.
Speaker 6: It'll get getting some love better talking to us guys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, he got some guys. He got some guys right, yes.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And once again they should be looked at as
Speaker 6: the strength of this football team. And if Mike McCarthy
Speaker 6: becomes a play caller, we think then the offense should
Speaker 6: be able to complement this defense even more. Or let's
Speaker 6: take our final break. When we come back, let's dive
Speaker 6: in and what did Joe Wait, Junior here, I got
Speaker 6: some opinions about this coach. Next, let's dive into that
Speaker 6: with Heck Maherrison, Danny Krab Newie Scrubs players bo to

Speaker 6: Hetmanharrison, appreciate you got Danny Brand, former Cowboys safety of
Speaker 6: New Stress. This is the Players Lounge, brought to you
Speaker 6: by Toe Steevesbury Church with today off. Okay, so right
Speaker 6: now NFL Network there interviewing our guy, Joe Witt, Junior's
Speaker 6: Cowboys secondary pass gain coordinator here, long time coach with
Speaker 6: Mike McCarthy. Is this the best secondary talking corners of
Speaker 6: safetyes combined that we've seen here in I don't know,
Speaker 6: almost a decade coming into this year, potentially.
Speaker 4: More than that, because I was here. I got here
Speaker 4: in twenty ten, and I don't remember us having having
Speaker 4: guys like that. Like I remember we drafted draft him on.
Speaker 4: We had the car and the expectation was what these
Speaker 4: guys that have already done. But Stephan Gilmore has been
Speaker 4: a top guy in the league for the last seven
Speaker 4: six seven years.
Speaker 3: And then you got Trayvon Diggs who lay at the.
Speaker 4: League and interceptions a year prior to this one, and
Speaker 4: then now he stepped up his game. He didn't have
Speaker 4: as many interceptions, but as far as his coveraging technique
Speaker 4: he got I thought he got a lot better. So
Speaker 4: if you say, all right, now you got steph fu
Speaker 4: Gilmore and you got Trayvon Diggs ascending him and becoming
Speaker 4: a better player. Yeah, you definitely got to in the league.
Speaker 4: And oh, by the way, you got three great safeties.
Speaker 4: You just paid one and then you got hooker and
Speaker 4: you got cursed as the leader of the secondary.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Man, you should be feeling really good about your secondary
Speaker 4: room right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I feel so good about.
Speaker 4: The addition of Stephan Gilmour, and based off of everything
Speaker 4: that you said of him being the man all these
Speaker 4: years in the league, but his ability to play man
Speaker 4: set you up being zoned. You know, it's just overall
Speaker 4: football like you, I think just really reeks of what
Speaker 4: we've needed. They've needed a guy like him for a
Speaker 4: very long time. They've tried to depend on Anthony Brown
Speaker 4: to be that, and we've seen several games which just
Speaker 4: Anthony Brown did not live up to the billing of
Speaker 4: the contract or any of that. The safety is also
Speaker 4: really what gives me the most confidence when you sign
Speaker 4: a guy like Donovan Wilson for over the last couple
Speaker 4: of years, seemed like he was on the outs and
Speaker 4: then dan Quinn comes in and the next thing you know,
Speaker 4: he has a completely resurgence renewing of his career. And
Speaker 4: I think him and his ability with Jerran Curse as
Speaker 4: just enforced us back there against the run game, but
Speaker 4: also in passing when you have Malik Hooker that you
Speaker 4: can also bring in in those sub packages. I mean,
Speaker 4: believe it or not, I mean a lot of teams
Speaker 4: go you know five, you know six, You don't have
Speaker 4: as many as you possibly can. It's because of this
Speaker 4: passing league that we have. But Stephan Gilmore, Trayvon Diggs
Speaker 4: to me on paper, looked like one of the tops
Speaker 4: in the NFC East. And that's knowing what we have
Speaker 4: over in Philly and everywhere else. I think they the best.
Speaker 4: And oh, by the way, who let the team and
Speaker 4: interceptions last season that I forgot to mention?
Speaker 3: Was it Darron Bland. Don't forget. Don't forget the rookie
Speaker 3: who came in and showed.
Speaker 4: That he can take the ball away and make a
Speaker 4: huge impact on the defense. So now you got Stepun
Speaker 4: Stephunk Gilmore, you got Trayvon Dings, you got Dron blaand
Speaker 4: you got Malik Hooking. You got j Ron Curse, like
Speaker 4: you're just looking at this, you say, you know what
Speaker 4: we should We should be okay no matter what happens.
Speaker 4: You got an injury that you got a little depth
Speaker 4: at the cornerback position, Well yeah you should.
Speaker 3: You should be okay.
Speaker 4: And and and the other question is going to be
Speaker 4: is Jordan lewis gonna be what's gonna be his timeline
Speaker 4: on returning as well? That's that's important.
Speaker 2: I forgot forgot me, yeah, Jay Lou.
Speaker 6: And what's going to make this secondary even better? Potentially
Speaker 6: Mozzie Smith m h. And I think that fans who
Speaker 6: And this is a shame because I saw that rookie
Speaker 6: They did have the l A Coliseum for the peninie
Speaker 6: trading cards. They brought out all the rookies and Deuce
Speaker 6: Vaughan got he got to go out and be a
Speaker 6: part of the rookie trading Yeah yeah, and Shoemaker yeah,
Speaker 6: school schoon and and and Deuce first round pick, I
Speaker 6: mean rare is it? The Dallas Cowboys first round draft
Speaker 6: pick is not in that shoot?
Speaker 3: It is rare.
Speaker 2: And Mozzie was.
Speaker 6: Not there, and I hated for him because what he
Speaker 6: does is not something you can write down statistically.
Speaker 2: It's what other people are able to do.
Speaker 6: You know, it's almost like being an offensive lineman, having
Speaker 6: that kind of position he has in the line, but
Speaker 6: his ability to help stop the run and force teams
Speaker 6: eventually into third and seven or third and eight. That's
Speaker 6: gonna make those guys back there better because they know
Speaker 6: there's gonna have to pass.
Speaker 2: They're gonna know what to do.
Speaker 6: So I really think that a guy like Mazie Smith
Speaker 6: fans who may not be up on what he does,
Speaker 6: he's going to help you. And that's how he gets
Speaker 6: helped us defensively. Man, they're gonna be They're gonna be
Speaker 6: put some good situations.
Speaker 3: Listen.
Speaker 4: He's a first round defensive tackle pick, all right, And
Speaker 4: with this being a passing league and how things have changed,
Speaker 4: and you have to look at guys like Vitave and
Speaker 4: hard Grave and you say, you know, what, can you
Speaker 4: make an impact from that position? Absolutely, he may have
Speaker 4: not had that type of gameplay when he was in
Speaker 4: college because you're in college, you're not around a guy
Speaker 4: like Dan Quinn, right, so you start adding tools to
Speaker 4: your game and all of a sudden, you say, all right,
Speaker 4: the Masi Smith that you washed and you thought that
Speaker 4: was the position that he was only going to be
Speaker 4: able to play. Oh man, dan Quinn got his hands
Speaker 4: on him and he showed him this is how you
Speaker 4: do this. This is the movee you need to make.
Speaker 4: This is how you read this. And all of a
Speaker 4: sudden you said, oh wait, hold on what he got?
Speaker 3: He had? How many sacks from them vices will for.
Speaker 2: You know what he did?
Speaker 6: How Bill Bill Balch was able to utilize his services.
Speaker 6: I just think those guys are so important. And I
Speaker 6: think Bill parcelsh and he had Leonard Marshall up foot hurt.
Speaker 6: You know, you guys like that help other players, and
Speaker 6: that's where to me that secondary they get more help
Speaker 6: because now you just can't run up the good on
Speaker 6: the Cowboys and now it's second and second and two.
Speaker 4: But the other thing new is is the fact that
Speaker 4: you have players like that that they're not stat sheet guys,
Speaker 4: if they're not going to do anything that you notice that,
Speaker 4: Oh my.
Speaker 3: God, he had this many tackles for lost.
Speaker 4: What he's going to do is gobble love blocks and
Speaker 4: needs going to make life a lot easier for Michael
Speaker 4: Parson's tank, Lawrence and other players.
Speaker 3: And that's what I'm saying. That is what this defense
Speaker 3: has needed.
Speaker 4: When we saw in those games where the running game
Speaker 4: got going against Green Bay, when you know other teams
Speaker 4: capitalized on the running game, it was because we were
Speaker 4: not stopping the run. And even when they take advantage
Speaker 4: in the passing game, we're not pushing the pocket. We're
Speaker 4: not making the quarterback uncomfortable back that even with Micah
Speaker 4: on the field. So that's where I think when you
Speaker 4: have a player like Mazie that look mans as dimensional
Speaker 4: as his game is, I think he's going to add
Speaker 4: to your secondary, to your point to make them that
Speaker 4: much better because now you're able to present so much
Speaker 4: more pressure.
Speaker 6: Warren Sap always said this, the back don't work without.
Speaker 3: The front, and he had a good good front. Boy cool. Yeah.
Speaker 6: And I was watching a clip from Jack Lambert and
Speaker 6: they were talking about the seventy six Pittsburgh Steelers that
Speaker 6: didn't win the Super Bowl but lost in the AFC
Speaker 6: Championship game without an effective Rocky Blyer Franko Harris, but
Speaker 6: up front they were so good that Jack Lambert and
Speaker 6: Jack ham had Hall of Fame careers. Off the dudes
Speaker 6: up front and in the back you got Mail Blood.
Speaker 6: I mean, their secondary was just like either they were
Speaker 6: lighting you up, hitting you because you touched, they cracked
Speaker 6: back on you, or they were sting intercepting the ball.
Speaker 6: But everything started up front. And that's that same thing
Speaker 6: when Warren Sapt talked about Tampa. Hey, the back don't
Speaker 6: work without the front, and that's the same thing here.
Speaker 2: The back.
Speaker 6: Here we see what the back in the Cowboys potentially
Speaker 6: can be. It can be pretty good, it'll be really
Speaker 6: good you get that front up there. That's where Diggs
Speaker 6: might be able to lead the league in interceptions, or
Speaker 6: even Gilmour can return to that defensive player of the
Speaker 6: year for him there. I'll tell you, if I was
Speaker 6: one of these defensive guys, I'd be bringing in lunch.
Speaker 6: I'd be bringing donuts for these dudes up front here,
Speaker 6: because hey, guys, you do your thing, thank you.
Speaker 4: Rather than in the first round, I'm telling you, I
Speaker 4: believe that they see more in him than just being
Speaker 4: a guy who could take up blocks. I think they
Speaker 4: see some potential in him where he can be a
Speaker 4: force in the passing game, not just pushing the pocket,
Speaker 4: but teaching them some moves to make him be a
Speaker 4: guy who they say, hey, man, we need to make
Speaker 4: sure we block that guard. He's gonna wreck our game
Speaker 4: for you to go pick a defensive tackle in the
Speaker 4: first round. Dan Quinn type of guy who specializes in
Speaker 4: defensive defensive line.
Speaker 3: I think he sees more than just.
Speaker 4: A guy who he's gonna teach how to, hey man,
Speaker 4: hit hit an extend and then stay in your gap.
Speaker 4: I think I see more than that. I said it
Speaker 4: from the beginning. I wanted who dan Quinn want me,
Speaker 4: and if it was Mozzie Smith, then I'm in agreeance
Speaker 4: to that. My whole thing, and what I've been thinking
Speaker 4: about is who else is going to benefit up front
Speaker 4: from Mozzie's presence. You know, I think it's gonna be
Speaker 4: hard for him just to be a one trick pony
Speaker 4: and just to be a guy. Now I'm gobbling up
Speaker 4: two and three guys at a time to allow these
Speaker 4: other guys to run. They're gonna put a package in
Speaker 4: that's gonna allow him to get to the quarterback. But
Speaker 4: guys like Daurrence Armstrong has got to be licking his chops.
Speaker 4: A guy that had a great season last season but
Speaker 4: will benefit as well. You talk about those said Diggi
Speaker 4: Zua being a guy that's gonna benefit. There's so many
Speaker 4: guys that can benefit by having a true one tech
Speaker 4: that can gobble the way that Mozzie Smith is put
Speaker 4: intentially gonna do.
Speaker 6: What if you took and we've seen Dan Quinn, do
Speaker 6: you take us out put tank on the D line
Speaker 6: inside a D tackle spot with Mazie. Then you got
Speaker 6: Parsons on one spot, the Dorans or Shrung.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that could be interesting.
Speaker 6: They can come up with some schemes here so that
Speaker 6: that portion is pretty good. But man, I hate once
Speaker 6: again I go back there. I hate the fact that
Speaker 6: a guy like Majie Smith did not get the opportunity
Speaker 6: to go out here to get it, get it, get
Speaker 6: his picture, man, the trading card picture with.
Speaker 3: You when you saw us, like, hey, what's going on?
Speaker 3: They went with the flash man.
Speaker 2: And that it was him. You hate that part.
Speaker 6: Like, guys, he may not be quote unquote sexy to
Speaker 6: you right now, but start winning now.

Speaker 3: For the time right, noverybody, absolutely.
Speaker 6: You know those guys matter. Booker McFarland's matter. I mean
Speaker 6: you get those big boys up there, man, they matter,
Speaker 6: Sam Adams, Tony Sarah Goose with the Ravens. Man, these dudes, Matt.
Speaker 6: If we're talking about football, this is what it should be.
Speaker 6: And and you know, ain't nothing wrong with the kids saying,
Speaker 6: hey man, this this guy, this guy's defensive tackle taking off.
Speaker 2: He man up here taking on folks. I mean, I
Speaker 2: hate that for.
