I may 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.000 got legit fit. It was nice. 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.680 I might as well had the Academy wards and then 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.520 Chris Rock and the Tucks and go live from LT's house. 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:50.840 Some money, yeah, man, yeah, yeah, no, he took care 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:51.520 of it very well. 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.560 ESPN Football Power indexes out and the Cowboys and of eight, 0:02:58.639 --> 0:02:59.880 the Jets are six. 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:03.079 Throw the whole list away. 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.160 Cowboys played the Jets with Week two. 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.000 List the way because the Jets are but the Cowboys 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:09.440 of course. 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.280 I'm just trying to understand all this hype behind the Jets, 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:18.519 which which is, yeah, good for the Cowboys because you know, 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:20.120 we'll let every people how to shine. But I just 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:24.040 I just like, why are people buying into this Jets thing? 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.040 Anyway? Your number one team on the. 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:30.240 Power in nexolence Kansas City, as it should, No problem 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:36.960 is that number two is Buffalo, Number three phil Alphia, no. 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.040 Problem, good man. I don't know, man, I. 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.080 Know how last season ended and all that, But man, 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:47.200 I just the Cincinnati Bengals to me, I think they're 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:48.560 better than the Buffalo Bills. 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:49.880 Well, they are on the list. 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.000 They on the list. But I'm saying, well, we listed 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:53.640 the top three. I just think you said they should 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:55.120 be at number two instead of below. 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:56.360 I don't know. 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:58.480 I don't think Buffalo should be at number two. I 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:00.880 think Phillis should be at number two, and then probably 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:05.600 Cincinnati at three, and then Buffalo below. Now, I mean 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:07.920 we watched, Listen, we watched the Super Bowl game. It 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:11.280 was just close one team and Philly wing got better 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:15.200 on paper. So I don't understand how Buffalo is then 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.480 ahead of them. I think Josh Allen and I just 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:20.400 the Josh Allen argument is always intriguing, you know. I mean, yeah, 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:22.320 the pictures of us, I'm telling you who he is, 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:25.080 but I think people make a lot of him and 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.160 his ability, and any team that has gone to it, 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.200 it's been because of the playoffs. It's been because of 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:32.200 their quarterback, you know what you need. And so Buffalo 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:35.080 is always going to be in contention because of Josh 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:38.000 Allen and also you know, Stephon Man. They got some 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:39.920 really good players and they got a damn good defense. 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:40.920 Also to go with that. 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:44.120 I'm gonna go with what you're saying. I'm taking a 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:48.000 bit further because this is true. Because I've talked to 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:50.480 too many people, my friends who worked there. There is 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:52.800 an East Coast bias when it comes to these ESPN 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.880 type things. To an East Coast biason, it's also becomes 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:59.280 a bias of who they like. Be it, Hey, we're 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.440 gonna talk about the I Woars and plump them up high. 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:05.680 We'll talk about the Lakers. They do that there to 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.920 disrespect a man who's actually been to a Super Bowl 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:12.840 versus another guy who's a good football player. Okay, I 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:15.040 think Josh Allen is a When you're talking about the 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.000 top five card, I will put him there along with 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.520 Joe Burrow. But Joe Burrow went and did that thing 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.080 you talk about not a whole lot of help. 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:23.320 That offensive line was terrible. 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.599 I mean, if they have some help up front, they 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:28.000 might they might have pulled the whole thing off. So 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.120 I do see your point when you talk about the disrespect, 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:32.440 And I do think that's because because when you're a 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:36.000 Midwest team and I don't. I do think you get 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:39.880 ignored by an ESPN and that kind of things. 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:44.040 They So you're saying Cincinnati should be number two or 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:46.600 Philly should be number two, were you I would. 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:50.919 Say this, I would put the Bengals ahead of Buffalo 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.160 Power Index. I agree with him on that. 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:59.680 Well, look, you made a comment last last show that 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:01.640 we have that there's always a team that's gonna come 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:03.359 from the bottom of the bear and work their way up, 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:05.320 and I think we saw that from Philly even though 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:08.000 they were a playoff team. They crawled in to the 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:11.560 seventh seed in the playoff, and they were that team 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.040 last year. To me, that came from the basement all 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:16.200 the way to the top to play in a super Bowl. 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:18.480 And it's the time consistency improved thing. 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:22.599 For me when I brought that. We're about last play. 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:25.000 So every year there is a last play, a team 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:26.279 who was finished last year. 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:29.080 Before, who wins their divisi Jacksonville Bingo. 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:33.160 Yeah, well Philly for me, I mean I wasn't surprised 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:35.160 I picked them to win the division. A lot of 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:38.120 people thought Philly was ripe and ready to win that division. 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.479 So after the acquisition of AJ Brown and all the 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:42.120 things that they did in the off season, Yeah, you 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:43.960 would have been a fool not to think that. But let'sten, 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:47.760 I'm talking about a team that maybe they didn't put 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.120 them at number two because they're waiting on them to 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.080 show that time consistency and proved to put them at 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.680 number two. Look last year season, I'm not wanting to 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:58.640 call that a joke, all right, but do it again. 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.560 Let's do it again, and I would put the Bengals there. 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:04.320 I would put the Bengals then for because their consistency 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:06.719 has shown that they backed to back two years in 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.360 the row, a couple of players away from being being 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.600 back where they were back in the Super Bowl. They 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:15.160 have played the Cincinnati Cincinnati Okay, ye'll talking about the Banks, 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:18.000 not a Cincinnati has showed that consistency over the last 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:18.440 two years. 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:19.880 That's who. That's why. That's what I'm saying. 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:22.960 When you look at consistency from Philly, they made the 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.840 playoffs the year before. Next year they come back, they 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.440 get better, they go to Super Bowl. I mean this 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.840 is two years back to back playoff team, the following 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:31.920 year they go to Super Bowl. 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.280 They're starting to show some consistenty. It's somebody unique. 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:38.240 How you don't get a Cowboys that same see said 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:38.760 the super Bowl. 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.200 Okay, went to the super Bowl. 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:52.120 Yes, I got all right, all right? 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:58.920 Truth. 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:06.240 If the Cowboys go to the super Bowl consistent, that's 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:09.520 three back to back playoffs seasons and Super Bowl right 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:11.000 heck trying to hop on because I'm. 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:16.000 What'd you say. 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.120 Your truth over? I don't want to hear that. 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:21.920 No, Cincinnati should be above Buffalo. 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:25.360 To me, I had one more thing I want to 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:29.000 throw about the Bengals. They should be trying to get 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:34.720 a contract done with Ezekiel Elliott because Joe Mixon has 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:41.560 shown a propensity to be injured seventeen game season. Give 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:47.760 me mixing Elliott. I think you can do something right there. 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.200 I am one of the I told some anything Zeus 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.800 wat Cat would be like, oh, Zeke's I said he's 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.000 not done. He's not done at all. I said, you 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:58.080 put him in the proper time share. I think he 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:01.880 can really excel if he went to a team and 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:05.800 became the lead back. When you start to think about opportunities, 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.560 I think the guy could get you a thousand yards. 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:09.959 I do believe that. 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:16.120 I just think when people leave here, especially stars on 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:20.520 big contracts, it's almost as though we run them down. 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:25.559 Extra Terrence Newman left here, Man, people talked it was 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:28.880 just trash talk. That guy dude was playing. He ripped 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:30.760 muscle from the zap Donald. I mean it was crazy. 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:32.320 I talked to team and I said, Timmy, why aren't 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:33.400 you telling people what's going on? 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:35.640 I don't want anybody. I think it's an excuse. 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:37.920 And he's like my teammatesnow's going I said, but the 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.319 problem is we in the public, especially me, we don't know, 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.280 so people just thinking you, mister toasty torch, can't guard 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:46.559 anybody anymore. Guy went on to Cincinnati and Minnesota and 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:49.760 played till he was forty plus years old. But when 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:53.720 he left there was that remnant of good riddance DeMarcus, 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:57.199 where yeah, man, he not worth the production dot all. 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:01.000 That old miss guy goes up to goes up to Denver, 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:05.320 balls out, balls out, mentors von Miller, who becomes Super 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:06.000 Bowl MVP. 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.240 Now he's getting ready to go get a gold jacket 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:09.000 this August. 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.880 I feel that Ezekiel Elliott Elliott is getting some of 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.720 that same thing where people are just adding extra salt 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.840 onto this thing, and I think they're gonna be mistaken 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:22.160 if he goes to the right opportunity. 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:24.280 Cincinnati the Chargers. 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:27.120 These are two organizations, in my opinion, who should put 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:30.719 out a contract this of a you know, a bear contract. 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:33.480 Maybe asking the sentence in there, but I think Ezekiel. 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:36.319 It can help them and more importantly help the quarterback 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:40.480 Joe Burrow, justin Herbert two headed monster. 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:42.440 So Zeke going to fool with Kelling Moore. 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:44.839 You know what if you're Kellen Moore and you're putting 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:46.800 in your offense a guy that you know, and oh, 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:48.840 by the way, what can he what can we what 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:50.200 do we know this man can do? 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:53.400 He can pass? And if I'm about to give a 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:55.240 big old fat contract. 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:57.920 To Herbert Burrow, which both of these organizations are doing, 0:10:58.400 --> 0:10:59.760 I like to have somebody I. 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:03.680 Know who can go ahead and take care of that job. 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:07.080 Austin Eckler with the Chargers right now, you're not happy. 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.719 Who knows where that goes. We saw what happened with 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.480 Melvin Gordon. They don't suffer that. You're not about to 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:16.400 hold them hostage. Try to sit if you want to. 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:18.400 You know, they don't care. But I just think of 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:20.640 that player as this is a player who I believe 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.480 that still has something there and people can look up 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:26.280 and like, oh why did we let him go? Oh 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:30.600 he still had more? Because we give guys extra rundown when. 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:31.040 They leave here. 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:33.400 I'm just thinking of the story, you know what, I'm saying, 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:36.800 Joe Burrow, Ohio State, Eliah four, he went to LSU 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.559 and then Ezekiel Elliot going to Cincinnati. 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:41.560 I think the story would be crazy. 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:44.000 Now you've got Ohio State and LSU connection in there, 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:46.439 because you got Jamar Chase there, you got Joe Burrow, 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:47.640 now you got Ezekiel La. 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:49.360 You got connections all over the place. You got a 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:49.920 story to tell. 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:53.920 And by the way, like you said, Joe Burrow also 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:57.120 needs that pass protection as well. And Ezekiel Ellen we've 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:59.720 seen him be able to still make big time runs. 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:03.400 He not breaking sixty seventy yards, but when you need 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:05.880 three or four you need a guy that's gonna pound 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:07.960 to make sure that you move in the sticks. Ezekiel 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:12.360 Elliott can still get that done. So my vote would be, hey, man, 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:14.600 you find a way to get to Cincinnati and go 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.600 up there and make that thing happen. They were a 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:19.080 play away from winning the Super Bowl two years ago. 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:21.280 Well, that offensive line is still not an elite They 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.360 don't have an elite offensive line, so that to me 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:25.280 even more so why I would go out and get 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:28.760 at Ezekiela to help protect Joe Burrow. But yes, the 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:32.199 Ohio connection, I did think of that as well. Cincinnati 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.320 Columbus very close to each other, and he'd be in 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.760 an area where he would have an automatic fan base 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:40.280 that organization through the years his favor taking Ohio State 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:41.000 football player. 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:44.080 So I just think between Mixing. 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:46.839 And Elliott and that division where you guys know you 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:50.920 got to play defense. These games are nasty in December 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:54.920 and January, and that AFC north of that kind of 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:58.679 ground game. Added what the receivers they have, right, Okay, 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:03.120 they got weapons. This to means where you improve in 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:05.120 a small move, if we look at it as a 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:06.600 small move, it could be a big move down. 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:09.160 No, both of you make great arguments, and I think 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:12.040 what fortified your argument is talking about Ezekiel Elliet from 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:16.120 a past block and standpoint for Cincinnati, Joe Burrows being 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:18.600 getting punished. I mean, all of the success that he's had, 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:22.520 he's one of the most sacked quarterback, pressured, you know, 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:24.600 hit quarterbacks in the NFL. 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:26.480 And I've never. 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:31.480 Understood Cincinnati's modus OPERENDI when it comes down to how 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:33.880 they recruit, how they draft. Excuse me, now, they draft 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.480 their offensive line, bring in offensive lineman. I knew they 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:39.000 bought in Lao Collins. He's not healthy. I don't believe 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:40.800 he's there anymore. I don't know this, but what I'm 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.520 saying is is that they have to get some type 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:46.760 of help for Joe Burrow on that offensive line. Bigger 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:48.840 than that. You know, when you talk about when a 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:52.480 guy leaves here, how he doesn't have anything left. I 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:55.280 think that for Zeke, you know, he's cash in, he's 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:57.520 got all the money. Doesn't really what he said, what 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:00.000 do you have to play for other than a championship? 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:02.920 That's the best for me? That That's what I'm looking 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:04.960 at when I when they say Cincinnati, that gives you 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.679 that opportunity. You're gonna go play somewhere that's gonna have 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:10.640 a bona fide opportunity to play for a super Bowl. 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:13.480 And if he can remain healthy throughout the season, man, 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.000 I mean that would that's a great place for him 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:19.880 to be. I'm still reserving hope for what fun to 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:20.440 come back. 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:24.480 He gonna take Stephan Gilmore's number, now, ain't gonna take 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:25.280 another number? 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:31.200 What number he gonna take? His college number? Come on, man, listen. 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:32.600 Separate question. 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:37.080 Is Joe Burrow about to start a trend because all 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:40.400 the reports are saying that he's thinking about possibly taking 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:43.080 it to count his teammates and how much how much 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:46.360 of the pot they may need in order for them 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:48.400 to have the right players around him. And he's thinking 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:51.120 about a guy like t Higgins who was looking for 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:54.360 a deal. Did you see Joe Burrow taking a discount 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:56.800 so he can so he can make sure that I'm 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:58.880 just asking who is exact I don't know. I'm just 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:01.760 that's a bigger question. Who is his agent? Who is 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.280 talking to this man? Because the last person we saw 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:07.120 do that with Tom, Tom was the last person to 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:10.360 do that. It worked ain't worked out perfect for him, 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:12.880 But at some point, Dog, you want to catch it 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:15.920 Tom and no one else and nobody else. 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.359 Tom out there like a hitchhiker alone. 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:23.760 You know, nobody. He played for twenty hey to this count. 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.400 And in the end, the Mannings, the Mannings ain't never, 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:30.160 they ain't never gating no money back. Nobody ever leaves 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:32.840 money on the table. A Rogers ain't giving no not 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:38.440 a dime. I'm just asking. I'm just asking the report, 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:40.960 the reports out there. Do you think it's a possibility 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:42.480 that he says, hey, man, I want to make sure 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:43.560 I get some other people pay. 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:45.880 Make sure this is at least structured in the way 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:46.520 where we can. 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:48.840 Get a guy like t Higgins picked up, because the 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:52.400 T Higgins Jamar Chase connection with Joe Burrow is a 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:54.040 big reason for them being able to go to the 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:54.440 super Bowl. 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:55.600 Personally, I'm skeptical. 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:58.120 Okay, well, at least at least you're not saying this 0:15:58.160 --> 0:15:58.480 is zero. 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.360 I'm skeptical because at the end of the day, and 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:04.120 that's why I asked about the agent, what is the thing? 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:09.080 Agents live on percentages that but agents also live on 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:11.280 the fact. Hey, Danny, you want to sign with me 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:16.080 because I get my guy's top dollar. Now, heck you 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:18.520 saw Danny, you ain't get top dollar, right, you want 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:20.760 to go over there with his agent. No, no, no, no, 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:22.200 I'm just sitting in your living room and talk to 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:24.440 you and your fan. I'm here to get Heckma Harrison 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.800 the top dollar because heck my Haeriton, you deserve it. 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:27.640 This business. 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.840 You can be going tomorrow. But we ain't taking on discount. 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:33.400 We get heck everything and good. It's not Hecma's job 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.040 to save team money. That's what I'm saying. Where the 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:38.320 agent thing comes in, and that's like, who's this guy? 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:41.600 Because these dudes live off this whole thing of being 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:43.760 able to nego. I mean they are dirty. At a 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:46.080 friend of mine, an agent still in the agency business, 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:47.880 but the stuff he tell me how they would do 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:50.720 each other behind it, I'm like, oh, I means, man, 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:51.880 how do you guys not throw. 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:53.600 Throw blow lows? Man? 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:55.880 Knowing people are doing this kind of not only trying 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:57.920 to take you away, but what they're using against you. 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:00.960 So when you say that, if Burrow's. 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:02.840 My client and he decides that he wants to take 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.280 less as an agent, I gotta figure out how do 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:06.000 I spend this? 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:07.119 Do I spend this? 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:07.320 As? 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:10.360 Hey, Joe, you're the working man of Cincinnati and you're going, 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:12.480 you know, we're about to set up the foundation to 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:14.560 the feeds the kids and central I mean, I gotta 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:17.040 come up with some kind of way to spend this 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:19.000 because it will be used against me. 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:21.320 Could that be a start for why it's coming out now? 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:22.720 Could it be getting spent already? Man? 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:23.439 I'm just let you know. 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:26.399 Man, Joe said, I'm doing everything I can to get 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:28.399 him the most money. And Joe said he want to 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:30.679 make sure he get his guys. I mean that's admirable. 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:33.719 I love how that looks, but man, you better get 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:35.400 your money. Oh yeah, I. 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.280 Come back into this whole thing about Tom Brady. This 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:39.720 is what I always used to say. Tom Brady's saving 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:41.399 them money. But show me where the Patriots are out 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:45.480 here spending big dollars. Wes welcome.

Because I hear a lot of 0:21:56.680 --> 0:22:00.200 people talk about a below average player? Can you that's 0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:04.920 the guys about it on the players land. Now this 0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:07.000 is my response to on Twitter unless you guys reacting 0:22:07.040 --> 0:22:10.640 that I don't consider him a great wide receiver. He's 0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:13.479 not even a number one white. He's a good player, 0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:15.679 but great is something he has yet to achieve in 0:22:15.720 --> 0:22:16.240 my opinion. 0:22:17.119 --> 0:22:17.800 That's what I said. 0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:21.560 Who said? Did he say somebody said he was great? 0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:24.000 That's what Yes, that's what he said. What is is 0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:26.200 because I hear a lot of people talk. 0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:27.520 About it about him being great? 0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:30.120 Right, he says, but does one season make him great? 0:22:30.160 --> 0:22:32.320 And he pointed out his career stats. 0:22:32.440 --> 0:22:33.560 Okay, yeah, no, I don't. 0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:39.879 I don't think he's great. Tom consistently. 0:22:40.119 --> 0:22:40.560 I don't think. 0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:42.359 I don't think he's shown that, and then him not 0:22:42.480 --> 0:22:44.720 being healthy last year didn't help. 0:22:44.800 --> 0:22:44.879 Do. 0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:48.320 I think that he is a hell of a deep threat. Absolutely. 0:22:48.480 --> 0:22:50.640 When he can stretch the field and go and make 0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:53.160 those fifty to fifty ball, catch those fifty fifty balls, 0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:56.080 that's when he's at his best. It's not him running 0:22:56.119 --> 0:22:58.360 hitch riots and doing all that. When he could take 0:22:58.359 --> 0:23:00.480 the top off of the defense, that that's when he's 0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:02.480 at his best. And I don't think last year he 0:23:02.520 --> 0:23:04.199 was able to do that because he wasn't able to 0:23:04.200 --> 0:23:06.280 come out of his cuts and people were able to 0:23:06.320 --> 0:23:09.040 just sit on every route that he ran. But I 0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:10.520 don't think he's great. I think he has some stuff 0:23:10.560 --> 0:23:12.280 to prove. And this year he'll be a number three receiver, 0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:14.960 so he's gonna have a lot of stuff to prove. 0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:18.000 I mean, you got Ceedee Lamb. I know, I'm serious. 0:23:18.040 --> 0:23:21.159 You got you got Ceedee Lamb, and that's what you 0:23:21.240 --> 0:23:23.840 got cook you got Cooks, and then you got Michael Gallup. 0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:25.600 And that's what Michael right here in his response where 0:23:25.600 --> 0:23:27.520 he says, I don't believe is the number two, but 0:23:27.600 --> 0:23:30.119 I'm just a fan of just wondering what is everyone 0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:33.120 seeing that makes him say to say that hopefully he'll 0:23:33.119 --> 0:23:35.720 be himself this year. So that's what he there. 0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:38.119 You know, when it comes to the argument about Michael 0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:41.480 Gallup is it's weird for me because I view him 0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:44.360 more than just what he's been pigeonholed in two and 0:23:44.400 --> 0:23:46.880 that's the what you just said, take the top off. 0:23:46.920 --> 0:23:48.600 He's a deep threat. He can on a god boss 0:23:48.600 --> 0:23:50.760 fab as you know post route, that's all he got 0:23:50.920 --> 0:23:53.720 in his repertoire. He's shown, he's shown us over the 0:23:53.800 --> 0:23:55.600 years that he's more than that. And I think twenty 0:23:55.680 --> 0:23:58.400 nineteen with him and Amari Cooper, that was the year 0:23:58.440 --> 0:24:01.520 that I thought, with his eleven hundred yard season that 0:24:01.560 --> 0:24:03.880 Michael was alluding to the one year that ended up 0:24:04.359 --> 0:24:06.879 allowing him to get paid. I think you saw everything 0:24:06.920 --> 0:24:08.800 that he can bring to you out of his wheelhouse. 0:24:08.880 --> 0:24:11.879 But then obviously what is been the detern to his 0:24:12.280 --> 0:24:16.119 productivity has been the injuries. Him and Ceedee Lamb just 0:24:16.160 --> 0:24:19.240 haven't been able to mesh like a true one, to 0:24:19.560 --> 0:24:21.920 receive a cord like you'd like to see, like in 0:24:21.920 --> 0:24:25.760 Cincinnati in places like that because of his injuries. But finally, 0:24:25.840 --> 0:24:28.480 hopefully this is. I think the thing is is that 0:24:29.040 --> 0:24:32.119 the Cowboy front office has wanted that they see the 0:24:32.160 --> 0:24:33.040 potential for that. 0:24:33.119 --> 0:24:35.200 And when he did his interview, I believe it is 0:24:35.359 --> 0:24:35.840 a week ago. 0:24:35.880 --> 0:24:37.879 I don't know which one of our beat writers he 0:24:38.000 --> 0:24:40.800 was with, but he basically saying, look, I'm happy to 0:24:40.800 --> 0:24:44.720 be back in into you know, to come back into headquarters. 0:24:45.400 --> 0:24:48.280 You know, I'm feeling more confident in my knee coming 0:24:48.320 --> 0:24:49.600 back from an ACL injury. 0:24:50.200 --> 0:24:54.119 That to me gives you the pause. 0:24:54.160 --> 0:24:57.920 Are their belief that Michael Gallup can resurrect his career 0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:01.639 from being that guy that's often injured to giving you 0:25:02.000 --> 0:25:04.840 the eleven hundred yards. But here's the question that I 0:25:04.880 --> 0:25:08.040 have for y'all. You know, what is productivity for your 0:25:08.119 --> 0:25:10.640 number two? Because for me, a name brand number one 0:25:11.080 --> 0:25:13.639 wide receiver is gonna give you thirteen to fifteen double 0:25:13.680 --> 0:25:16.520 digit touchdowns. We've yet to get that from CD Lamb, 0:25:16.520 --> 0:25:19.480 the double digit touchdowns, but he's on the cusp of that. 0:25:19.600 --> 0:25:22.960 I believe this season for Michael Gallup, if you get 0:25:23.000 --> 0:25:26.359 five to eight, seven or eight touchdowns, to me, that's 0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:29.359 what you want from a number two receiver. And let's 0:25:29.440 --> 0:25:33.680 not act like the number two receiver in Dallas has 0:25:33.760 --> 0:25:35.520 been hasn't been the tight end? 0:25:36.320 --> 0:25:37.280 You know? No, You're right. 0:25:37.480 --> 0:25:39.159 Well, first, I want to go back to saying I 0:25:39.200 --> 0:25:41.520 don't I want to make sure nobody believes that I'm 0:25:41.560 --> 0:25:45.239 pigeonholing Michael Gallup into saying that all he could do 0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:47.600 is run deep ross. I'm saying, when he's at his best, 0:25:47.800 --> 0:25:49.720 that's what he's doing. He is the guy right what 0:25:49.800 --> 0:25:52.359 the defensive coordinator is looking at guys, he's saying, ceedee lamb, 0:25:52.480 --> 0:25:54.120 we got to make sure we don't let him do this. 0:25:54.320 --> 0:25:56.080 Michael Gallup, You got to make sure you don't let 0:25:56.200 --> 0:25:57.800 him get to this part of the field because if 0:25:57.800 --> 0:25:59.800 he does, truly the record game is what I'm saying, 0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:01.879 And he can still run all the routes, but the 0:26:01.880 --> 0:26:04.960 part that fears defensive coordinators is him taking the top 0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:05.600 off the defense. 0:26:06.560 --> 0:26:09.920 Number two. Man, Like, when you look around the league, 0:26:09.960 --> 0:26:10.600 and we. 0:26:10.640 --> 0:26:14.480 Just talked about Cincinnati and what those two receivers are 0:26:14.520 --> 0:26:17.159 able to do. Jamar Chase is a number one. And 0:26:17.240 --> 0:26:19.399 then when you look at t Higgins number two, and 0:26:19.440 --> 0:26:21.320 he's trying to get paid because he's putting up over 0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:23.280 a thousand yards and I don't know how many touchdowns 0:26:23.280 --> 0:26:26.560 he had, but he's a force out there. Even when 0:26:26.560 --> 0:26:29.639 you look at Justin Jefferson and Adam Thieln, Adam Thielan 0:26:29.720 --> 0:26:33.120 had more touchdowns in the previous two years than Justin 0:26:33.200 --> 0:26:33.840 Jefferson did. 0:26:34.920 --> 0:26:36.800 I think it was double digits a Brown. 0:26:38.680 --> 0:26:40.639 So when you look at guys who are number twos 0:26:40.680 --> 0:26:43.639 in this day and age of the receiver, yeah, they 0:26:43.800 --> 0:26:45.680 essentially have. You have to be able to say, hey man, 0:26:45.680 --> 0:26:48.000 he probably could go be at number one on another team. 0:26:48.440 --> 0:26:50.840 That's what people are looking at for some of their 0:26:50.920 --> 0:26:54.280 number twos. When especially for a team like the Cowboys, 0:26:54.359 --> 0:26:58.760 who's our number two this year? Cooks number one on 0:26:58.800 --> 0:27:02.240 any other team? He was number one out there in Houston, 0:27:02.560 --> 0:27:06.040 and he played like a number one out there in 0:27:06.040 --> 0:27:11.240 New Orleans and was very very competitive out there in LA. 0:27:11.400 --> 0:27:13.520 So when you're thinking about the number two guys, yeah, 0:27:13.520 --> 0:27:15.080 you gotta say, hey man, this dude right here, if 0:27:15.119 --> 0:27:17.520 he's not on this team, somebody's probably paying him to 0:27:17.560 --> 0:27:19.200 be a number one. Do you see that in Michael 0:27:19.240 --> 0:27:21.720 gall I don't. I don't, And the reason why I 0:27:21.720 --> 0:27:23.639 don't see that is because of the injuries, and I 0:27:23.720 --> 0:27:27.280 think post previous to that, I would have said based 0:27:27.280 --> 0:27:29.040 off of that one year, Oh, this kid, he can 0:27:29.080 --> 0:27:31.520 go somewhere and be a number one. He was going 0:27:31.600 --> 0:27:34.520 and he was trending in that direction and the injuries 0:27:34.560 --> 0:27:35.200 derailed him. 0:27:35.600 --> 0:27:37.359 When I think of number two is just just listening 0:27:37.400 --> 0:27:42.080 to our conversation right now, T Higgins. I think Odell 0:27:42.119 --> 0:27:44.800 Beckham junior when he was with the Rams, absolutely that 0:27:45.080 --> 0:27:46.200 Super Bowl year cleared. 0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:48.920 But that's the season Cooper Cup had, like I mean, 0:27:49.160 --> 0:27:50.560 crazy numbers, one of the Triple Crown. 0:27:50.600 --> 0:27:53.960 But I'm just saying that boom, here's your two Devontae 0:27:54.040 --> 0:27:56.840 Smith and Philadelphia. I think of him as a two feeling. 0:27:57.000 --> 0:28:00.400 Last year in Minnesota, you got Jefferson, here's feeling. Mike 0:28:00.440 --> 0:28:02.440 Williams out there with the Chargers, you. 0:28:02.359 --> 0:28:04.000 Got Cannan down him. 0:28:04.160 --> 0:28:07.919 Michael Gallup is not in that realm of receiver when 0:28:07.960 --> 0:28:10.360 I'm thinking about what these guys do, I don't see 0:28:10.440 --> 0:28:14.040 him in that fashion, and so he's got work to 0:28:14.080 --> 0:28:15.040 do to get there. 0:28:17.000 --> 0:28:18.400 That's that's you know. 0:28:18.320 --> 0:28:20.359 When we talk about where a guy is and where 0:28:20.400 --> 0:28:23.840 you see him, he's not in that conversation yet, He's 0:28:23.840 --> 0:28:25.800 got work to do to get himself in there. 0:28:25.960 --> 0:28:28.720 Like I said, if for me, the numbers for Michael 0:28:28.760 --> 0:28:31.600 Gallup is in a thousand yards. The numbers for Michael 0:28:31.600 --> 0:28:35.280 Gallup is between seven and eight hundred yards and possibly 0:28:35.359 --> 0:28:39.440 having that Adam Thieling ten touchdown year, you know, because 0:28:39.480 --> 0:28:42.120 everybody's double team and on cd on on the outside. 0:28:42.200 --> 0:28:44.760 That's a success for me as a number two. Because 0:28:44.800 --> 0:28:47.640 Adam Thieling his numbers are seven sixteen last year, seven 0:28:47.680 --> 0:28:49.920 twenty six a year before and his best season nine 0:28:50.000 --> 0:28:53.120 twenty eight, nine twenty five and twenty twenty. 0:28:53.240 --> 0:28:56.960 So number of touchdowns in no seasons fourteen, ten and 0:28:57.040 --> 0:29:02.240 six yeah, yards out there. 0:29:03.000 --> 0:29:05.280 What did I say is is the what the best? 0:29:05.320 --> 0:29:08.680 If you would you would aspire to. Everybody wants fourteen touchdowns, 0:29:08.720 --> 0:29:11.280 even as a number one receiver, you want fourteen. 0:29:10.920 --> 0:29:12.080 Touchdowns off the rep. 0:29:12.600 --> 0:29:16.800 But for I think for Michael Gallup, let's let's go 0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:20.320 back to Ceede Lamb. If Ceedee Lamb has fourteen hundred 0:29:20.360 --> 0:29:23.880 yards fourteen touchdowns, that he is crowning himself as the 0:29:24.280 --> 0:29:26.959 number one receiver. We just hadn't seen him a cent 0:29:27.120 --> 0:29:29.400 to that level. As far as the production is there, 0:29:29.440 --> 0:29:32.120 the yard is is there, but the touchdowns haven't been there. Listen, 0:29:33.080 --> 0:29:35.440 Let's let's just answer this question here because you brought 0:29:35.440 --> 0:29:37.720 it up, and I want to know your opinion. Who 0:29:37.760 --> 0:29:40.440 is our number two receiver right nowoks? So why we 0:29:40.600 --> 0:29:43.880 asking Michael Gallup? He's not even the number two on 0:29:43.880 --> 0:29:47.480 our squad right now? And even and you know Michael 0:29:47.480 --> 0:29:49.920 who had hit sent us detwity, he's a he's not 0:29:50.040 --> 0:29:53.960 a number two, but to me, he's always been a three. 0:29:54.520 --> 0:29:58.600 What I think of go back to old school rams, 0:29:59.720 --> 0:30:02.840 is it go? I mean it was Terry Tory Hill, 0:30:02.920 --> 0:30:05.240 it was Isa King. I look at Gallop like that 0:30:06.760 --> 0:30:09.120 when we when when the Cowboys, when he had Kelvin Martin, 0:30:09.600 --> 0:30:12.959 no number three guy, damn sure effective right there. But 0:30:13.040 --> 0:30:15.840 you had Urban, you had Harper next thing, you know, 0:30:15.880 --> 0:30:16.640 Kelvin Martin out here? 0:30:16.680 --> 0:30:17.120 Catch it bad? 0:30:17.640 --> 0:30:18.920 Oh forgot about Kelvin Martin. 0:30:19.000 --> 0:30:21.040 That's what I look at my gala bats right now. 0:30:21.120 --> 0:30:24.840 That's what he's shown you in his best it's in 0:30:24.880 --> 0:30:28.040 that spot. If he wants to be considered it too 0:30:28.040 --> 0:30:29.600 and move up to that, then yeah, you got to 0:30:29.640 --> 0:30:31.120 go there. I know he said before, Hey, I like 0:30:31.160 --> 0:30:33.000 to think you know I'm a number one receiver. Then 0:30:33.000 --> 0:30:36.400 that's fine. But right now, right now, and that's my 0:30:36.480 --> 0:30:39.320 biggest thing is right now what old Bill Parcell's on. 0:30:39.400 --> 0:30:40.720 All I can go by is what I see. 0:30:41.280 --> 0:30:44.480 By the way, went to Swooth the King, your man 0:30:44.560 --> 0:30:47.000 Danny here talking about the bruh. 0:30:47.240 --> 0:30:48.200 That's the one bruh. 0:30:48.240 --> 0:30:48.760 This is good. 0:30:49.640 --> 0:30:50.880 At first, after that, I thought. 0:30:50.760 --> 0:30:52.840 You were eating beans with and I was like, what 0:30:53.000 --> 0:30:59.800 is a bean? Berl strawberries? That's granola. Set it off, man, 0:30:59.800 --> 0:31:01.040 This is good. Now looks good. 0:31:01.120 --> 0:31:01.640 No, it's good. 0:31:02.040 --> 0:31:03.840 I appreciate you man, you know. 0:31:05.480 --> 0:31:08.920 Oh and do we all trust DeVante Adams in his 0:31:09.040 --> 0:31:13.400 opinion on on receivers and the skilled positions in the league. Yeah, okay, 0:31:13.400 --> 0:31:16.800 because he said he said our guys top five. He said, 0:31:16.840 --> 0:31:19.360 CD Lamb is a top five receiver in the league, 0:31:19.520 --> 0:31:22.000 and I'm leaning towards to believe in them, just based 0:31:22.000 --> 0:31:24.920 off what we've seen him do last year and kind 0:31:24.960 --> 0:31:27.520 of the the efficiencies that we had on our offense. 0:31:27.800 --> 0:31:30.960 I think that this year, revamped with Mike McCarthy as 0:31:31.000 --> 0:31:34.000 a play caller, I think we see ceedee Lamb. He 0:31:34.040 --> 0:31:35.680 took off last year, but I think he has sent 0:31:35.840 --> 0:31:38.760 to that, like what you said, crowning himself, you know, 0:31:38.960 --> 0:31:40.160 one of the top guys in the league. 0:31:40.240 --> 0:31:42.520 By the way the NFL owners meanings to go and 0:31:42.520 --> 0:31:44.240 look at get Look who sitting down there on the 0:31:44.280 --> 0:31:48.640 microphone talking Joe Jr. Cowboy secondary defensive passing game court. 0:31:48.640 --> 0:31:52.000 It'll get getting some love better talking to us guys. 0:31:52.240 --> 0:31:57.040 Yeah, yes, he got some guys. He got some guys right, yes. 0:31:56.880 --> 0:31:59.080 Yeah, And once again they should be looked at as 0:31:59.120 --> 0:32:01.520 the strength of this football team. And if Mike McCarthy 0:32:01.520 --> 0:32:05.080 becomes a play caller, we think then the offense should 0:32:05.080 --> 0:32:07.520 be able to complement this defense even more. Or let's 0:32:07.560 --> 0:32:10.920 take our final break. When we come back, let's dive 0:32:10.920 --> 0:32:13.120 in and what did Joe Wait, Junior here, I got 0:32:13.120 --> 0:32:16.120 some opinions about this coach.

This is the Players Lounge, brought to you 0:34:56.239 --> 0:34:59.040 by Toe Steevesbury Church with today off. Okay, so right 0:34:59.040 --> 0:35:02.840 now NFL Network there interviewing our guy, Joe Witt, Junior's 0:35:02.840 --> 0:35:07.640 Cowboys secondary pass gain coordinator here, long time coach with 0:35:07.680 --> 0:35:14.880 Mike McCarthy. Is this the best secondary talking corners of 0:35:14.960 --> 0:35:18.120 safetyes combined that we've seen here in I don't know, 0:35:18.280 --> 0:35:21.800 almost a decade coming into this year, potentially. 0:35:21.440 --> 0:35:23.319 More than that, because I was here. I got here 0:35:23.320 --> 0:35:26.200 in twenty ten, and I don't remember us having having 0:35:26.239 --> 0:35:28.920 guys like that. Like I remember we drafted draft him on. 0:35:29.000 --> 0:35:31.879 We had the car and the expectation was what these 0:35:31.920 --> 0:35:35.160 guys that have already done. But Stephan Gilmore has been 0:35:35.160 --> 0:35:37.160 a top guy in the league for the last seven 0:35:37.320 --> 0:35:38.120 six seven years. 0:35:38.760 --> 0:35:41.560 And then you got Trayvon Diggs who lay at the. 0:35:41.600 --> 0:35:45.400 League and interceptions a year prior to this one, and 0:35:45.440 --> 0:35:47.120 then now he stepped up his game. He didn't have 0:35:47.160 --> 0:35:50.320 as many interceptions, but as far as his coveraging technique 0:35:50.400 --> 0:35:52.719 he got I thought he got a lot better. So 0:35:52.760 --> 0:35:54.680 if you say, all right, now you got steph fu 0:35:54.800 --> 0:35:57.720 Gilmore and you got Trayvon Diggs ascending him and becoming 0:35:57.760 --> 0:36:01.920 a better player. Yeah, you definitely got to in the league. 0:36:02.000 --> 0:36:04.600 And oh, by the way, you got three great safeties. 0:36:04.640 --> 0:36:07.400 You just paid one and then you got hooker and 0:36:07.440 --> 0:36:10.840 you got cursed as the leader of the secondary. 0:36:11.400 --> 0:36:11.640 Yeah. 0:36:11.680 --> 0:36:14.960 Man, you should be feeling really good about your secondary 0:36:15.000 --> 0:36:15.600 room right now. 0:36:15.840 --> 0:36:17.719 Yeah. I feel so good about. 0:36:17.400 --> 0:36:20.520 The addition of Stephan Gilmour, and based off of everything 0:36:20.520 --> 0:36:22.560 that you said of him being the man all these 0:36:22.640 --> 0:36:25.319 years in the league, but his ability to play man 0:36:25.719 --> 0:36:29.040 set you up being zoned. You know, it's just overall 0:36:29.120 --> 0:36:32.520 football like you, I think just really reeks of what 0:36:32.600 --> 0:36:35.400 we've needed. They've needed a guy like him for a 0:36:35.520 --> 0:36:38.080 very long time. They've tried to depend on Anthony Brown 0:36:38.120 --> 0:36:40.400 to be that, and we've seen several games which just 0:36:40.440 --> 0:36:42.279 Anthony Brown did not live up to the billing of 0:36:42.320 --> 0:36:44.680 the contract or any of that. The safety is also 0:36:44.760 --> 0:36:48.560 really what gives me the most confidence when you sign 0:36:48.600 --> 0:36:50.839 a guy like Donovan Wilson for over the last couple 0:36:50.840 --> 0:36:53.080 of years, seemed like he was on the outs and 0:36:53.120 --> 0:36:55.440 then dan Quinn comes in and the next thing you know, 0:36:55.520 --> 0:36:59.719 he has a completely resurgence renewing of his career. And 0:36:59.760 --> 0:37:03.960 I think him and his ability with Jerran Curse as 0:37:04.120 --> 0:37:07.120 just enforced us back there against the run game, but 0:37:07.200 --> 0:37:09.279 also in passing when you have Malik Hooker that you 0:37:09.280 --> 0:37:11.759 can also bring in in those sub packages. I mean, 0:37:11.800 --> 0:37:13.640 believe it or not, I mean a lot of teams 0:37:13.840 --> 0:37:17.160 go you know five, you know six, You don't have 0:37:17.200 --> 0:37:20.160 as many as you possibly can. It's because of this 0:37:20.200 --> 0:37:23.560 passing league that we have. But Stephan Gilmore, Trayvon Diggs 0:37:23.560 --> 0:37:27.120 to me on paper, looked like one of the tops 0:37:27.239 --> 0:37:30.000 in the NFC East. And that's knowing what we have 0:37:30.120 --> 0:37:32.479 over in Philly and everywhere else. I think they the best. 0:37:32.560 --> 0:37:34.279 And oh, by the way, who let the team and 0:37:34.440 --> 0:37:36.799 interceptions last season that I forgot to mention? 0:37:36.920 --> 0:37:41.880 Was it Darron Bland. Don't forget. Don't forget the rookie 0:37:41.880 --> 0:37:43.839 who came in and showed. 0:37:43.520 --> 0:37:46.600 That he can take the ball away and make a 0:37:46.640 --> 0:37:48.800 huge impact on the defense. So now you got Stepun 0:37:49.080 --> 0:37:51.879 Stephunk Gilmore, you got Trayvon Dings, you got Dron blaand 0:37:51.920 --> 0:37:54.520 you got Malik Hooking. You got j Ron Curse, like 0:37:54.920 --> 0:37:56.360 you're just looking at this, you say, you know what 0:37:56.400 --> 0:37:58.600 we should We should be okay no matter what happens. 0:37:58.719 --> 0:38:00.279 You got an injury that you got a little depth 0:38:00.320 --> 0:38:02.120 at the cornerback position, Well yeah you should. 0:38:02.160 --> 0:38:02.880 You should be okay. 0:38:03.440 --> 0:38:05.680 And and and the other question is going to be 0:38:05.920 --> 0:38:09.560 is Jordan lewis gonna be what's gonna be his timeline 0:38:09.600 --> 0:38:11.640 on returning as well? That's that's important. 0:38:12.600 --> 0:38:15.680 I forgot forgot me, yeah, Jay Lou. 0:38:16.760 --> 0:38:21.480 And what's going to make this secondary even better? Potentially 0:38:22.800 --> 0:38:27.319 Mozzie Smith m h. And I think that fans who 0:38:28.280 --> 0:38:30.080 And this is a shame because I saw that rookie 0:38:31.280 --> 0:38:33.200 They did have the l A Coliseum for the peninie 0:38:33.200 --> 0:38:36.120 trading cards. They brought out all the rookies and Deuce 0:38:36.200 --> 0:38:37.719 Vaughan got he got to go out and be a 0:38:37.760 --> 0:38:40.319 part of the rookie trading Yeah yeah, and Shoemaker yeah, 0:38:40.560 --> 0:38:44.400 school schoon and and and Deuce first round pick, I 0:38:44.440 --> 0:38:48.800 mean rare is it? The Dallas Cowboys first round draft 0:38:48.800 --> 0:38:50.800 pick is not in that shoot? 0:38:51.080 --> 0:38:51.759 It is rare. 0:38:52.200 --> 0:38:53.200 And Mozzie was. 0:38:53.239 --> 0:38:58.480 Not there, and I hated for him because what he 0:38:58.520 --> 0:39:02.080 does is not something you can write down statistically. 0:39:02.760 --> 0:39:05.040 It's what other people are able to do. 0:39:06.160 --> 0:39:08.960 You know, it's almost like being an offensive lineman, having 0:39:08.960 --> 0:39:12.279 that kind of position he has in the line, but 0:39:13.040 --> 0:39:16.920 his ability to help stop the run and force teams 0:39:16.920 --> 0:39:20.319 eventually into third and seven or third and eight. That's 0:39:20.360 --> 0:39:23.000 gonna make those guys back there better because they know 0:39:23.000 --> 0:39:24.319 there's gonna have to pass. 0:39:24.320 --> 0:39:25.080 They're gonna know what to do. 0:39:25.160 --> 0:39:28.160 So I really think that a guy like Mazie Smith 0:39:28.239 --> 0:39:30.839 fans who may not be up on what he does, 0:39:31.040 --> 0:39:33.680 he's going to help you. And that's how he gets 0:39:33.680 --> 0:39:36.360 helped us defensively. Man, they're gonna be They're gonna be 0:39:36.360 --> 0:39:37.560 put some good situations. 0:39:37.840 --> 0:39:38.120 Listen. 0:39:38.320 --> 0:39:41.359 He's a first round defensive tackle pick, all right, And 0:39:41.440 --> 0:39:43.840 with this being a passing league and how things have changed, 0:39:43.880 --> 0:39:45.960 and you have to look at guys like Vitave and 0:39:46.120 --> 0:39:48.640 hard Grave and you say, you know, what, can you 0:39:48.719 --> 0:39:53.000 make an impact from that position? Absolutely, he may have 0:39:53.040 --> 0:39:55.160 not had that type of gameplay when he was in 0:39:55.200 --> 0:39:57.520 college because you're in college, you're not around a guy 0:39:57.560 --> 0:39:59.920 like Dan Quinn, right, so you start adding tools to 0:40:00.080 --> 0:40:01.960 your game and all of a sudden, you say, all right, 0:40:02.080 --> 0:40:04.239 the Masi Smith that you washed and you thought that 0:40:04.320 --> 0:40:05.880 was the position that he was only going to be 0:40:05.880 --> 0:40:08.560 able to play. Oh man, dan Quinn got his hands 0:40:08.600 --> 0:40:09.880 on him and he showed him this is how you 0:40:09.920 --> 0:40:11.640 do this. This is the movee you need to make. 0:40:11.680 --> 0:40:13.320 This is how you read this. And all of a 0:40:13.320 --> 0:40:15.000 sudden you said, oh wait, hold on what he got? 0:40:15.200 --> 0:40:18.000 He had? How many sacks from them vices will for. 0:40:18.239 --> 0:40:19.120 You know what he did? 0:40:19.239 --> 0:40:23.520 How Bill Bill Balch was able to utilize his services. 0:40:24.200 --> 0:40:26.040 I just think those guys are so important. And I 0:40:26.040 --> 0:40:29.000 think Bill parcelsh and he had Leonard Marshall up foot hurt. 0:40:29.040 --> 0:40:33.920 You know, you guys like that help other players, and 0:40:34.000 --> 0:40:36.120 that's where to me that secondary they get more help 0:40:36.160 --> 0:40:38.480 because now you just can't run up the good on 0:40:38.520 --> 0:40:41.000 the Cowboys and now it's second and second and two. 0:40:41.840 --> 0:40:43.640 But the other thing new is is the fact that 0:40:43.680 --> 0:40:46.320 you have players like that that they're not stat sheet guys, 0:40:46.520 --> 0:40:48.400 if they're not going to do anything that you notice that, 0:40:48.520 --> 0:40:48.839 Oh my. 0:40:48.800 --> 0:40:50.479 God, he had this many tackles for lost. 0:40:50.560 --> 0:40:52.200 What he's going to do is gobble love blocks and 0:40:52.239 --> 0:40:53.960 needs going to make life a lot easier for Michael 0:40:54.000 --> 0:40:56.320 Parson's tank, Lawrence and other players. 0:40:57.960 --> 0:40:59.960 And that's what I'm saying. That is what this defense 0:41:00.160 --> 0:41:00.680 has needed. 0:41:00.680 --> 0:41:02.759 When we saw in those games where the running game 0:41:02.800 --> 0:41:05.400 got going against Green Bay, when you know other teams 0:41:05.560 --> 0:41:07.919 capitalized on the running game, it was because we were 0:41:07.960 --> 0:41:11.040 not stopping the run. And even when they take advantage 0:41:11.080 --> 0:41:13.560 in the passing game, we're not pushing the pocket. We're 0:41:13.560 --> 0:41:17.320 not making the quarterback uncomfortable back that even with Micah 0:41:17.360 --> 0:41:19.680 on the field. So that's where I think when you 0:41:19.760 --> 0:41:23.960 have a player like Mazie that look mans as dimensional 0:41:24.000 --> 0:41:26.359 as his game is, I think he's going to add 0:41:26.400 --> 0:41:28.920 to your secondary, to your point to make them that 0:41:29.080 --> 0:41:31.359 much better because now you're able to present so much 0:41:31.400 --> 0:41:31.960 more pressure. 0:41:32.080 --> 0:41:37.280 Warren Sap always said this, the back don't work without. 0:41:37.080 --> 0:41:42.720 The front, and he had a good good front. Boy cool. Yeah. 0:41:42.760 --> 0:41:45.840 And I was watching a clip from Jack Lambert and 0:41:45.880 --> 0:41:48.800 they were talking about the seventy six Pittsburgh Steelers that 0:41:48.880 --> 0:41:51.280 didn't win the Super Bowl but lost in the AFC 0:41:51.400 --> 0:41:56.319 Championship game without an effective Rocky Blyer Franko Harris, but 0:41:56.480 --> 0:41:59.880 up front they were so good that Jack Lambert and 0:42:00.040 --> 0:42:02.200 Jack ham had Hall of Fame careers. Off the dudes 0:42:02.280 --> 0:42:03.920 up front and in the back you got Mail Blood. 0:42:03.920 --> 0:42:06.880 I mean, their secondary was just like either they were 0:42:06.960 --> 0:42:09.160 lighting you up, hitting you because you touched, they cracked 0:42:09.200 --> 0:42:11.000 back on you, or they were sting intercepting the ball. 0:42:11.040 --> 0:42:14.520 But everything started up front. And that's that same thing 0:42:14.800 --> 0:42:16.879 when Warren Sapt talked about Tampa. Hey, the back don't 0:42:16.880 --> 0:42:18.920 work without the front, and that's the same thing here. 0:42:19.200 --> 0:42:19.600 The back. 0:42:19.640 --> 0:42:22.160 Here we see what the back in the Cowboys potentially 0:42:22.160 --> 0:42:24.200 can be. It can be pretty good, it'll be really 0:42:24.200 --> 0:42:28.040 good you get that front up there. That's where Diggs 0:42:28.440 --> 0:42:30.759 might be able to lead the league in interceptions, or 0:42:30.760 --> 0:42:33.560 even Gilmour can return to that defensive player of the 0:42:33.640 --> 0:42:37.520 year for him there. I'll tell you, if I was 0:42:37.560 --> 0:42:39.720 one of these defensive guys, I'd be bringing in lunch. 0:42:39.920 --> 0:42:42.120 I'd be bringing donuts for these dudes up front here, 0:42:42.160 --> 0:42:47.000 because hey, guys, you do your thing, thank you. 0:42:47.080 --> 0:42:48.719 Rather than in the first round, I'm telling you, I 0:42:48.760 --> 0:42:51.320 believe that they see more in him than just being 0:42:51.640 --> 0:42:54.000 a guy who could take up blocks. I think they 0:42:54.040 --> 0:42:56.359 see some potential in him where he can be a 0:42:56.440 --> 0:42:59.280 force in the passing game, not just pushing the pocket, 0:42:59.280 --> 0:43:01.400 but teaching them some moves to make him be a 0:43:01.400 --> 0:43:02.960 guy who they say, hey, man, we need to make 0:43:02.960 --> 0:43:04.799 sure we block that guard. He's gonna wreck our game 0:43:05.000 --> 0:43:06.719 for you to go pick a defensive tackle in the 0:43:06.719 --> 0:43:09.880 first round. Dan Quinn type of guy who specializes in 0:43:09.960 --> 0:43:11.399 defensive defensive line. 0:43:11.719 --> 0:43:12.960 I think he sees more than just. 0:43:12.920 --> 0:43:15.000 A guy who he's gonna teach how to, hey man, 0:43:15.120 --> 0:43:17.479 hit hit an extend and then stay in your gap. 0:43:18.000 --> 0:43:19.560 I think I see more than that. I said it 0:43:19.560 --> 0:43:21.680 from the beginning. I wanted who dan Quinn want me, 0:43:21.800 --> 0:43:24.440 and if it was Mozzie Smith, then I'm in agreeance 0:43:24.480 --> 0:43:26.480 to that. My whole thing, and what I've been thinking 0:43:26.480 --> 0:43:29.280 about is who else is going to benefit up front 0:43:29.520 --> 0:43:31.799 from Mozzie's presence. You know, I think it's gonna be 0:43:31.800 --> 0:43:33.600 hard for him just to be a one trick pony 0:43:33.600 --> 0:43:36.200 and just to be a guy. Now I'm gobbling up 0:43:36.239 --> 0:43:38.359 two and three guys at a time to allow these 0:43:38.400 --> 0:43:40.319 other guys to run. They're gonna put a package in 0:43:40.520 --> 0:43:43.520 that's gonna allow him to get to the quarterback. But 0:43:43.600 --> 0:43:46.480 guys like Daurrence Armstrong has got to be licking his chops. 0:43:46.480 --> 0:43:48.799 A guy that had a great season last season but 0:43:48.920 --> 0:43:51.239 will benefit as well. You talk about those said Diggi 0:43:51.360 --> 0:43:53.919 Zua being a guy that's gonna benefit. There's so many 0:43:53.920 --> 0:43:57.319 guys that can benefit by having a true one tech 0:43:57.600 --> 0:43:59.920 that can gobble the way that Mozzie Smith is put 0:44:00.000 --> 0:44:00.719 intentially gonna do. 0:44:01.400 --> 0:44:03.480 What if you took and we've seen Dan Quinn, do 0:44:04.080 --> 0:44:07.400 you take us out put tank on the D line 0:44:07.600 --> 0:44:11.480 inside a D tackle spot with Mazie. Then you got 0:44:11.520 --> 0:44:13.919 Parsons on one spot, the Dorans or Shrung. 0:44:15.040 --> 0:44:16.440 Yeah, that could be interesting. 0:44:16.960 --> 0:44:19.319 They can come up with some schemes here so that 0:44:19.320 --> 0:44:21.440 that portion is pretty good. But man, I hate once 0:44:21.440 --> 0:44:23.000 again I go back there. I hate the fact that 0:44:23.040 --> 0:44:25.600 a guy like Majie Smith did not get the opportunity 0:44:25.880 --> 0:44:29.440 to go out here to get it, get it, get 0:44:29.440 --> 0:44:31.000 his picture, man, the trading card picture with. 0:44:31.560 --> 0:44:35.440 You when you saw us, like, hey, what's going on? 0:44:37.320 --> 0:44:38.760 They went with the flash man. 0:44:38.920 --> 0:44:41.919 And that it was him. You hate that part. 0:44:42.040 --> 0:44:46.000 Like, guys, he may not be quote unquote sexy to 0:44:46.040 --> 0:44:48.600 you right now, but start winning now. 0:44:48.719 --> 0:44:50.680 Vince Woolford looked real sexy. 0:44:50.320 --> 0:44:52.520 For the time right, noverybody, absolutely. 0:44:52.239 --> 0:44:54.759 You know those guys matter. Booker McFarland's matter. I mean 0:44:54.760 --> 0:44:56.919 you get those big boys up there, man, they matter, 0:44:57.040 --> 0:45:00.839 Sam Adams, Tony Sarah Goose with the Ravens. Man, these dudes, Matt. 0:45:00.920 --> 0:45:03.799 If we're talking about football, this is what it should be. 0:45:03.960 --> 0:45:06.239 And and you know, ain't nothing wrong with the kids saying, 0:45:06.239 --> 0:45:10.239 hey man, this this guy, this guy's defensive tackle taking off. 0:45:10.320 --> 0:45:13.759 He man up here taking on folks. I mean, I 0:45:13.800 --> 0:45:14.279 hate that for. 0:45:14.239 --> 0:45:16.120 The other we're talking about this before we get out 0:45:16.160 --> 0:45:16.319 of here. 0:45:16.400 --> 0:45:20.640 Hey man, hey, your guy, Okay, he making the man 0:45:20.680 --> 0:45:25.680 with everybody jersey.

Great guy. 0:47:48.160 --> 0:47:50.520 Got to meet him in Cleveland back when he used 0:47:50.560 --> 0:47:54.200 to let the media eat with the team. He walked 0:47:54.200 --> 0:47:57.440 in there. Belichick was a head coach time, and then 0:47:57.560 --> 0:48:01.160 Art Modell was in. You thought you would have thought 0:48:01.239 --> 0:48:04.000 Jim on the team.
