That 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:13.400 was some interesting comments that came out of that, obviously 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.120 coming off of last week's interview that he did with 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:18.240 those guys over there at the fan. 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:20.559 We'll also have some time with Brian. 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:22.759 We'll go inside the mind of Brian brought us and 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:24.759 as you saw when I mentioned we'd have some fun today, 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.240 he shook his head yes. So my guess is he 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:29.800 has some questions that are going to challenge us and. 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:31.279 Maybe you can get us in trouble. 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:34.320 We don't know. We'll see how that goes. And then obviously, 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:36.200 well I have some questions for you guys. Maybe in 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:37.920 the final second, we'll see how we get there. We'll 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:39.319 also take some calls if you guys want to call 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.040 us eight eight eight five five two two ninety seven. 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:43.480 It's a good day to give us a call, so 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:46.120 we'd love to hear from you. In the third segment, 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:49.520 let's start first with Jerry Jones this morning, he was 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:53.960 on one on five dot three the Fan and there 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.800 were lots of things that were said. I think the 0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:59.240 most important one that jumped out to me and I 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.880 think if you look around at least X and see 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.240 what people are talking about, it's really around the Derek 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:09.160 Henry comments basically said I don't know if if he'd 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:11.520 have had if he'd be having a career year in 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:17.160 our situation, Derrick Henry didn't fit managing, didn't fit managing 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.720 because of because of managing the cap. Essentially, he was saying, 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.400 first of all, he doesn't think that Derek ken would 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:26.119 necessarily be doing the same things here because of their situation. 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.560 And I'll ask you guys what you think of that. 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.519 But also he's saying that they didn't make the move 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.560 because they were managing the cap. And I want to 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:35.720 get into that a little bit deeper in just a second, 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:37.400 but first, what are your thoughts on those comments? 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:39.800 Yeah, it was. It's very similar to what he said 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.839 in the in the past about Derrick Henry and why 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.280 he was not brought in it. It's cap cap cap related. 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:47.440 I think it was the first time though, that he 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:49.880 had kind of led on to the fact that it 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.880 might be Derek Henry might not be having the success 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.000 that he's having in Baltimore this year if he were 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.639 behind this line in Dallas. And it was a tweet 0:02:57.639 --> 0:02:59.400 that Jesse Holly had put out last night and he 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:01.760 had asked, would Derrick Henry be having this type of 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:04.280 success if he was running behind the Cowboys offensive line? 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.520 And in my perspective, I'm thinking and I'm looking at it, 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:08.519 absolutely not, he would not be having the production that 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:10.880 he has that he's been having in Baltimore. But it's 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.079 still probably a top ten rushing offense that you would 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:16.080 have with Derrick Henry because there's not a better running 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:17.840 back in the league that makes something out of nothing. 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:21.200 And it was a further interesting that Jerry made this 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.120 comment because Baltimore is also starting a rookie offensive lineman. 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.160 Granted they're not starting two of them, but they're starting 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.280 one of them. And you know, it's not been a 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:31.440 perfect situation up front for them at times this year, 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:33.799 and Derrick Henry has at times had to make something 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:35.680 out of nothing. That was a play last night. It 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:37.640 was a crack toss to the right and no one 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:39.280 did their job. He bounced back left and it was 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.000 a fifteen yard game. So I'm looking at it and 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:42.840 I'm like, no, this guy would be just fine in 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:43.160 the off. 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:44.000 Can't those them out real quick? 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:45.920 Because i mean, Nick and I were having this conversation before, 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:48.840 and I've heard others take that took that from what 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.600 Jerry said. I actually took a different approach because when 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.560 he said it, he also mentioned the number of carries 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:56.840 that they've given the backs, and my thought was he 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.320 was alluding more to the fact that they haven't really 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:03.240 used their run backs as much as at Box doors. Yeah, 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.160 so they haven't been able to use as much, and 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.640 that's why he was saying that he doesn't think he 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:10.000 was having the same production. Not necessarily offensive line. You 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:11.400 guys agree with that or do you think it was 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:12.800 really more about the offensive line. 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:14.360 I do agree with that, but I think there are 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:18.000 multiple third and one, second and four situations this year 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:19.400 that they thrown the ball when they didn't need to 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:21.200 if they had a reliable running back. They're handed off 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:21.640 to Derek ki. 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:23.640 Well that fumble that could have been disastrous in the 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:25.840 Pittsburgh game, right, you probably give that Derek Henry. 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:27.520 He probably boils his way into the end zone, right. 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:28.120 Yeah. 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:29.680 I wish that they would just come out and say 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:33.039 that they didn't think Derrick Henry was good enough. That's 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:34.680 where I wish that I think this was at. I 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:36.919 don't think this has anything They talk about the money 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.360 and all that stuff like that, maybe the Pro Department 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:42.600 didn't evaluate Derrek Henry Henry in a way that he 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.320 was still good enough to play. I think that's something 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.719 we're not really focusing on right now. And if that's 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.760 the case, well then it looks wrong with that evaluation. 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:53.080 But to me, this seems like, you know, when you 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:56.520 start to talk about he doesn't you know, it doesn't 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.880 the number of carries, the offense and all those things. 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:02.599 I just wonder if there was in the Pro department 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.279 if when they sat down and said they evaluated their backs, 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:07.520 that they didn't think that Derek Henry could still play, 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.159 you know, I mean, if that's you know, to me, 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:14.520 I would accept it. The cap thing could I feel 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:17.000 it can always be proven false. You know, you could 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.240 always kick the can and always put money down the 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:22.960 road and all that and and kind of talk about 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:25.680 that way. But I've sat in the Pro department chair before, 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.800 you know, and you've made evaluations on players and you're thinking, like, 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.719 don't think this guy can help us? You know, if 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.240 that's the case, just say it. Then then you know 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:38.520 then you're wrong that way about it. It's more it's 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:41.320 more of a like, well, they just misevaluate teams, misevaluate 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:44.000 guys all the time. I'd be really interested to see 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:44.760 if that's the case. 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:45.000 Here. 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:47.080 Let me ask you this, do you think cause it's 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.400 my belief and I was one of the people that 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:52.840 was ringing the bell for this. Yeah, after the Zeke deal, 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.880 I said on this air multiple times, I think in 0:05:56.920 --> 0:06:00.520 today's NFL it is a it is a bad decision 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:04.559 on the whole for teams to invest money in aging 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:08.280 running backs. Sure, do you think that maybe this was 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:09.640 a philosophical because by the. 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.120 Way, and by the way, I would appreciate Yeah. 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.560 Yeah, But what I'm saying is, do you think that 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.159 it's not just the Cowboys. I think around the league 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.960 this year, what you're seeing right now is a resurgent 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:24.000 of these second contract running backs, especially nobody predicted, like 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:25.720 you go down the list and I wrote this down, 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:30.479 like you got Henry Barkley, Jacob's Dobbins, Pollard, all these 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:34.520 guys are guys, Aaron Jones mixing, Like you got all 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:36.760 these guys that everybody was like, I don't know if 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:38.960 I'm with them, this guy second contract, and all of 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:40.320 a sudden, these guys are lighting up. 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.960 The philosophy got a lot of teams in trouble. 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:44.520 Yeah, I wonder if that was it. 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:48.359 Yeah, Dallas Cowboys are not the only team to misevaluate players. 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.440 There there. There are other teams around the league that 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.760 are sitting in the same thing. You know. There you 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.480 look at the guys that are running the football right now. 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:59.160 There wasn't a time and I and when I first 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:01.000 started one O five the fan and when I was 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:05.200 with you, you know, on with my show, on with 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:09.320 the g bag nation, fighting for balance for Dak. Don't 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.760 want Dak throwing the ball forty five times a game. 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:13.400 Don't want got to run the ball? 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:13.680 Got it? 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:18.119 And then the argument was from the analytics people, any 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:22.679 run is a wasted play. Any run is a wasted play. 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.360 Why you're running it on first down? Why you're running 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:29.600 on second down? Now, my show argues with me about 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:33.160 philosophy that I was. I admit it. I'm a old 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:37.240 school player. I believe. I believe the running game punishes people. 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.840 We've seen it three losses here. It affected your owner 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:44.000 today when you listen to him talk talking about how 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:47.480 those losses and things like that. To me, I believe 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:49.640 in the running game. I've always believed in the running game. 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.200 But the analytics people wouldn't let you believe in the 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:56.480 running game anymore. And now what's happened is teams have 0:07:56.560 --> 0:08:00.360 gotten smaller defenses have gotten smaller. We're playing eleven person now, 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:02.640 Oh my gosh, we're dealing with all these wide receivers 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.600 and all that. Now what we're doing. Everybody's smaller. Now, 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:08.000 what do you do? These backs? Every one of you 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:11.720 mentioned what's their common thread. They're all tough, They're all 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:16.080 physical runners, and that's a problem for defenses that are small. 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:20.160 So this is just coming back around, and you know, 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:23.160 and your philosophy is like, we don't want to pay 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:26.080 a back, we don't know, don't pay one and see 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.960 what happens to you. You know, But if you have 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:32.880 a physical running back in this day and age, you 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:36.240 could hurt people with that because you look at how 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:41.320 teams are built defensively. Everybody's small. College football has made 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:44.360 us all with these we do the draft show, Well, 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:46.680 how big is he Nick Hey's two hundred and thirty 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:48.680 eight pounds, that's rushers, one of the best in the nation. 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:54.400 Two thirty eight huh okay, yeah, how big is that 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:57.000 runner that was running last night for Yeah? 0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:01.959 Well, no, I remember that conversation about him. Henry Okahry 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:03.319 is the linebacker. I thought you were talking about a 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:04.480 rookie that is proving himself. 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:06.760 Yet what I'm saying you all of a sudden, you know, 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:11.160 Nick is telling me the virtues of this edge rusher 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:14.600 from Alabama that's two hundred and thirty eight pounds. What 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:16.319 am I gonna do when I see him out there? 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:18.719 Let's see you play this run there? Son, Yeah, you. 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:20.640 Know, get off this tackle and there. 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.440 Yeah, this is where it all went bad for a 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:28.080 lot of teams. These backs. I watched Joe Mixon play, 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:31.040 and I'm going God, Joe Mixon looks the same as 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:34.840 he did in Cincinnati. Cincinnati just gave up on him. 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:39.080 It's philosophy. Everybody's now different. And now know what's happened. 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.720 Teams with smaller defenses are getting punished because of it 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:46.480 in the running game, because of these bigger backs and 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.440 the and and I think Dallas. I think Dallas got 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:51.680 caught in a philosophy thing. If you tell me you 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.720 got caught on philosophy, I believe because I always feel 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:56.880 like there's a way you could sign players. I always 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:57.960 feel like there is a way. 0:09:57.920 --> 0:09:59.360 Two year, sixteen million dollars. 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:01.800 Always feel like a kid, you could kick the can, 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:03.800 you could do what you have to do. I'm sure 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:06.160 the guys upstairs are listener right now, and they're mf 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:09.000 and be for doing that, for saying that, But there's 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:10.839 always a way. These guys are smart, they know what 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:13.400 they're doing. But the thing about it is you're in 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:17.120 a situation right now where philosophy might have got you 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:20.320 in trouble with a guy that right now, and a 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.240 lot of these backs, as you mentioned, are taking over 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:25.240 in this league again because they're physical and they're hard 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:25.720 to tackle. 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.480 To piggyback off of the philosophy point, I think one 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.079 of the more interesting things Jerry said today was has 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:33.200 anybody thought about if you're not if you're going to 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:35.000 invest a huge amount of money in a running back, 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.240 you better plan on running the ball. Yeah, Dallas just 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:41.600 isn't running the ball. Derek Henry alone has more carries 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:44.559 than the entire Dallas Cowboys offense this year. Right, he 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:46.280 has one hundred and thirty four. Dallas has one hundred 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:48.440 and thirty three. Rico Dada leads the team with fifty nine. 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:50.839 So it goes back to if Dereck Henry has fifty 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.040 nine carries in this offense, are you seeing the same 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:56.360 numbers that you're seeing with him in Baltimore. I would argue, yeah, 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:58.800 because it's Dereck Henry and not Rico Dowbell. I would 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.400 take nothing again, Freako doobtle. But I think you give 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:03.320 Dereck Henry those fifty nine carries if he's on this 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:07.079 roster and he's doubtle as the complimentary piece. But I 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:09.480 don't know. I just feel like, you know, a guy 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:11.199 like that on the roster, even if he has fifty 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.360 nine carries, he's gonna make it count of like Nick said, 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:16.120 make something out of nothing, even with two rookie offensive linemen. 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:20.120 Could would should have, Yeah, Nick, might. 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:22.320 It might not be Henry, It might be any one 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:23.480 of those guys you mentioned. 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:26.040 Yeah, right right, And that's what they were all of it. 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.600 There were so many of those guys Scalable and and 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:30.559 teams with some team took him, and he took them 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:32.240 for probably less money than they would have taken it 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:34.800 their at their original place. But the fact is they're 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:37.280 all proving the fact that maybe you do have to 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:40.240 rethink the philosophy of not paying second contracts to running 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:41.880 backs because they're proven right now they can play. 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:44.800 Look at the teams that are benefiting from these running backs. 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.880 Look at their quarterbacks. I guarantee you every team that 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.720 has one of these back or these running backs and 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:53.680 is committed to trying to run the football, let me 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.440 tell you what. You'll get real committed to football if 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:58.880 you got Derrick Henry and he's slamming it in there 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:02.800 for five point five yards of carry, You'll be really committed. 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:07.120 If you're passing off like you wanted to twenty sixteen 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:11.480 Cowboys with Ezekiel Elate. You know, okay, rookie back, rookie quarterback. 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:13.520 I get it. Running the football helps the You know, 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.040 Dak was playing well. You know, I think he would 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.520 have played well even with Zeke maybe not being a 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:22.440 sixteen hundred yard back. But what happened there. Every time 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:24.960 Scott Linehan called a play, it was second and four 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:30.440 second and five second and four second and three first down. 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:33.320 You know That's what I'm saying. You get you get 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.920 a back that could that could hammer that thing in 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.320 there and get you four or five yards every single 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.920 time you hand it to him. That makes your play 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:44.200 caller better, That makes your quarterback better, you know. And 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:46.600 that's what they don't have right now. They don't have 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:51.280 that ability to help their quarterback be better in down 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:52.280 a distant situation. 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:54.719 Do you think that it's it's a matter of they 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:56.640 don't have the guy, or do you think it's a 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:57.200 matter of. 0:12:57.240 --> 0:12:58.120 They're they're behind. 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:01.480 And I even think for the games that they're behind. 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:03.280 I think one of the reasons why they're struggling so 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:06.360 much with trying to protect the quarterback is the fact 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.160 that teams aren't respecting the run game because they don't 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.280 give them a reason to. They open the game and 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:12.680 they from start a game, they're throwing the ball, throwing 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:15.280 the ball, throwing the ball where they haven't really committed 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:17.640 to we're going to establish a run and by the way, 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:19.600 that means sometimes we may not get what we want 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:21.360 out of it, but we're going to be committed to it. 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.680 You're struggling up front. Your right tackle is not playing, 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:27.160 your right guard is not playing. You got a rookie 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:30.000 center that doesn't you know, he's learning how to play 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.840 second level ball. You get an all pro left guard, 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.160 he's having to play left tackle because the left tackles 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:38.839 learning curve is too steep. You've got a lot, You've 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.120 got a lot of moving parts going on, and you 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:44.080 got tight ends right now that really aren't great point 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:46.199 of attack blockers. They went out and spent a lot 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:49.240 of money on span Ford and to try and go 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:52.760 get a physical blocking tight end, but they don't get 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:54.640 there's never a new situation where they can come out 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:57.360 and run the football, where they could just run the ball. 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:00.600 Pittsburgh was the best example of they have a little bit. 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:02.360 The game was closed, they were able to kind of 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:05.400 the way he call plays the third and six toss 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:08.679 to dabble around the end. Brilliant call. I mean, if 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:10.719 it works, you're like whoa. And if it doesn't work, 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:12.880 you're like what, yeah, you know, But at least it's 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:16.160 that it's the threat of popping a run and getting 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.040 a first down like that in a in a key 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.240 moment he gets twelve yards on the play. Yeah, it's 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:20.960 a great call. 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:23.840 Real quick before we end the segment, give me an 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:25.960 update on what he had to see about Deron Bland 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.080 and Michael Parsons this week and what they are their 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:29.040 possibility of playing. 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:29.960 Yeah, tell me you got it. 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:33.000 Yeah, Deron Bland and Michael Parsons, Jerry said, would be 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:35.760 likely game time decisions. So he said he talked to 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:38.200 the trainers earlier this morning and said, we're kind I 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:39.800 kind of have to see how they go through practice 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:41.720 the next couple of days. Players are off today, so 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.040 but likely game time decisions for both of. 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.720 Those guys in San Francis. I would I would, I 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:50.280 would hope for Bland and I think that your linebacker 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:53.680 edge is going to be limited all week that he 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:56.320 will probably be practicing with that practice and excuse me, 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:59.320 he'll be working with Britt Brown. That one seems that 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:02.480 one seems a little more dicey than what the situation 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.680 with Bland. We've also thought Bland was going to be available. Yeah, 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.000 he hasn't been able, so but if there's going to 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:10.640 be a chance, I think Bland's got a better chance 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:12.600 than what Parsons has. 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:14.120 I would agree with that. What are you hearing about, 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:14.840 Kaylen Carson? 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:18.480 You know what I haven't asked about because. 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.720 It's almost like that when. 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:25.200 When he first went out, I was thinking a game 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:28.360 or two and it's kind of just gone longer, and 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:30.680 it just it makes me think, like, what did we. 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.600 Not ask because it seems like that that's going a. 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:35.760 Lot longer than maybe I thought it would have. Obviously, 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:37.520 I'm not a doctor and I wasn't looking at him. 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:37.920 Uh. 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:40.320 But but I'm more interested now to see when he's 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:41.960 going to be back, because I really think these are 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:44.760 reps that that could really help the development. I mean 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:46.560 as a young guy being able to be out there 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.480 that once Bland's back, that's gonna it's gonna kind of 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:50.280 go away a little bit. 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:51.960 Another thing, if you signed Derek Henry, you would have 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:53.520 had a healthy Kaalen Carson the last three. 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:54.640 Weeks, right, because he wouldn't. 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:56.920 Yeah, absolutely all right, let's take our first break when 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:58.320 we come back. We're to go inside the mind of 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:01.040 Brian Brods.

What's something you hoped would change for this 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:11.920 squad but doesn't appear to be happening. 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:15.359 M hoped would change? 0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:18.280 I mean something you hoped would change for the squad 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:21.040 but just hasn't appeared. It hasn't happened. 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:23.520 I would have hoped that DAK and CD at this 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:25.399 point in the season would have found some kind of 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:28.920 rhythm together, and it just seems like, you know, we're 0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:32.639 six games in and there's been no sign of improvement. 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:34.480 In that fact that there's been no sign of a 0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:38.359 click or a connection. There's still you know, miscommunicating on routes. 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:42.040 I think the most glaring one was where I think 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:44.080 it was CD was supposed to run out to the side. 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:44.719 On the vertical right. 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:46.520 Yeah, it looked like to me there was a safety 0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:47.880 in the middle of the field. I don't think Dak 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:50.160 wanted to throw him the ball there. Yeah, and CD 0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:51.840 didn't see it. I don't think he saw it the 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:52.480 right way. 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:55.879 Okay, but yeah, I mean that if if Dallas is 0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:57.400 going to throw the ball as much as they want 0:19:57.440 --> 0:19:59.840 to do, and those two can't get on the same page, 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:02.560 it's not gonna go well, I don't think so that 0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:04.240 would be my answer, boss Man. 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:06.800 Mine would have to be Rico Daubdle. 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:11.320 I really thought if the Cowboys would use him that 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:13.520 I thought they are running game would be a lot 0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:16.720 better than it's been. And my personal belief, I still 0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:19.320 believe they have. They just haven't been willing to commit 0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:20.800 to it. And I think if they do. I think 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:22.719 they'd get more out of it because there has been 0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:24.880 one game when they've done it and it actually did work. 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:27.679 It wasn't a world beater, it wasn't something that was 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:29.280 going to be up there with the best running backs 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:31.879 in the league, but it was more than serviceable to 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:35.200 keep this offense moving. And I think that's what that's 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:37.280 what I want to see more of. But to this point, 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:38.240 it just hasn't happened. 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:41.080 As a young evaluator, I've learned my lesson Brian. I 0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:44.000 put a lot of faith into this rush defense coming 0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:45.959 into the year because they added so much depth at 0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:48.199 the linebacking corps. I was looking at it on paper, 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:50.800 top five line linebacking corps in the league. You can 0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:53.480 look at what the experience of youth, the athleticism, but 0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:55.439 it doesn't matter if you don't have anything upfront. And 0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:57.679 so I expected this rush defense to be better than 0:20:57.680 --> 0:21:00.320 it's been and just not showing any improved. 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:01.560 Jump in our house. 0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:04.040 Real quick on that note, coming into this year is 0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:07.000 for everybody to table. Did you think the rush defense 0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:10.560 problems were more about the linebackers or the defensive tackles. 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:12.480 I thought it was more about the linebackers. Last year, 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:14.680 I thought it was about only one healthy linebackers. 0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:17.440 Yeah, year, I thought it was the edges. I didn't 0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:18.720 feel like that they were very. 0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:20.239 Long as had an awesome season last year. 0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:22.040 When you look when you looked at team on the 0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:25.480 right edge, to me, that's where I worried because over 0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:28.679 there at the time, it was like Armstrong Fowler. I 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:31.600 was worried about. Sam Williams is who I was really 0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:34.600 worried about. And I thought, if you added the linebackers 0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:37.480 and maybe the safety play in your corner, I thought 0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:41.560 it would be better. But it really hasn't been. And 0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:47.080 it's what's unfortunately lea excuse me, uh our edge from 0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:50.920 Western Michigan got hurt marneel and yeah, Neiling got hurt, 0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:53.600 and so now you lost that. He looked like to me, 0:21:53.720 --> 0:21:56.800 he was kind of going the right direction playing over there. 0:21:57.640 --> 0:22:01.400 But man, I I see what you're saying about the linebackers. 0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:05.639 That to me was that was very very That's questionable 0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:07.160 the way they played that thing last year. 0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:08.040 I mean, yeah, I. 0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:10.560 Would agree with think that the linebackers was probably the 0:22:10.600 --> 0:22:11.919 thing that I was looking at the most. And then 0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:13.840 you bring in a guy like Kendricks and you kind 0:22:13.840 --> 0:22:16.600 of see now why he's so important to have there. 0:22:16.720 --> 0:22:18.359 I mean, you asked last week, you know, what's the 0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:20.000 one guy on the defense you want back, and I 0:22:20.000 --> 0:22:22.159 said Kendricks, because he's going to be your tackling machine 0:22:22.160 --> 0:22:23.960 and get guys to the ground. So just something they 0:22:23.960 --> 0:22:24.719 didn't have last year. 0:22:24.800 --> 0:22:27.240 You know, I think those are all positions of that 0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:30.640 we worried about. But I still think it started up front. 0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:33.960 And I think frankly, the best one technique they had 0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:36.120 on the team last year was no longer here in Hankins, 0:22:36.160 --> 0:22:38.160 and I don't think he played particularly well in some games. 0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:40.560 Some games he didn't play well, And so that's where 0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:42.879 I think the defensive for me, the defensive tackle was 0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:44.639 still going to be the issue, and my only hope 0:22:44.680 --> 0:22:47.720 was that Mazzi would consistently be seeing That was my hope. 0:22:47.800 --> 0:22:50.040 This is where this is where the answer and you 0:22:50.080 --> 0:22:52.480 could talk about the position, but this is where it 0:22:52.480 --> 0:22:56.200 really is about Mazzi, you know, because you're saying something 0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:59.479 you were hopeful that was going to be better and 0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:01.120 it just isn't better right now. 0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:01.480 Yeah. 0:23:01.520 --> 0:23:03.920 It's just I mean, he had won that flash game 0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:06.800 where you're watching him play and it's like, man, Okay, 0:23:06.840 --> 0:23:07.960 maybe he could carry this over. 0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:08.480 Got ut. 0:23:09.200 --> 0:23:11.560 Yeah, you get excited about it and it really just 0:23:11.720 --> 0:23:14.920 isn't It's it's a lot of the not as bad 0:23:14.960 --> 0:23:17.040 as it was last year, but it's just not where 0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:18.879 it needs to be. Yeah, but you're right about the 0:23:18.880 --> 0:23:24.000 defensive tackles that group, Derek Well beating a banged up 0:23:24.160 --> 0:23:26.720 forty nine ers squad do anything for you? Is that 0:23:26.880 --> 0:23:28.040 just what the Cowboys do? 0:23:28.160 --> 0:23:28.360 Hell? 0:23:28.440 --> 0:23:32.119 Yes, Hey, I don't style point wins, And as you 0:23:32.160 --> 0:23:35.000 say all the time, Brian, nobody feels sorry for you. 0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:38.120 This team has been dealing with injuries all season, and 0:23:38.440 --> 0:23:41.040 injuries to some of their best players. So no, I 0:23:41.080 --> 0:23:44.040 don't feel sorry for them going up to San Francisco 0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:47.280 after what the Cowboys have been, how the Cowboys have 0:23:47.359 --> 0:23:49.920 performed in that stadium over the last several times they've 0:23:49.920 --> 0:23:52.360 been there. I don't care who's playing, I don't care 0:23:52.359 --> 0:23:54.680 who's out. If Dallas goes up there and gets a win, 0:23:54.800 --> 0:23:56.200 it matters. It's a good win. 0:23:57.119 --> 0:23:58.960 Yeah, I agree, especially Sunday night game. 0:23:59.119 --> 0:24:01.399 You really didn't want to read you want to, but 0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:01.880 I do. 0:24:01.880 --> 0:24:03.080 Agree that this is ahead. 0:24:03.880 --> 0:24:06.280 What's the argument if you if you don't think it's 0:24:06.480 --> 0:24:09.720 what's the argument that saying that, Like, I don't think 0:24:09.720 --> 0:24:10.360 it's a good win. 0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:12.680 Well, the banged up I think it's pretty I think 0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:13.680 it's just pretty straight line. 0:24:13.760 --> 0:24:17.160 So you're saying, you're saying San Francisco banged up. If 0:24:17.200 --> 0:24:18.680 you beat them banged up, it's not. 0:24:18.760 --> 0:24:20.360 I'm not saying that. I was just thinking about it. 0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:23.679 But but if you argue that point because you were 0:24:23.680 --> 0:24:25.520 thinking about it, I was thinking about it. Okay, if 0:24:25.560 --> 0:24:27.600 you're thinking about it, tell me what tell me the 0:24:27.720 --> 0:24:29.159 argument you would have clarification. 0:24:29.200 --> 0:24:31.120 This is not my point, but I will. I would 0:24:31.280 --> 0:24:31.720 argue with me. 0:24:32.160 --> 0:24:33.680 That's what I said. I want you to. I want 0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:36.520 you to tell me why his point's wrong. Because you 0:24:36.640 --> 0:24:37.199 thought about it. 0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:37.920 I thought he did. 0:24:38.080 --> 0:24:40.200 I thought about it. I would say by. 0:24:40.240 --> 0:24:43.440 I clip this for him later and then just tweeted 0:24:43.440 --> 0:24:44.640 out that he's a hater. 0:24:44.920 --> 0:24:47.040 It was a tweet. There was a tweet lest that 0:24:47.040 --> 0:24:48.280 where we were talking about it in the break and 0:24:48.320 --> 0:24:50.000 I was I showed Tobby last night. He's like the 0:24:50.040 --> 0:24:52.200 healthiest skill player for the forty nine ers was shot 0:24:52.200 --> 0:24:53.919 in the chest two months ago. I'd be like, this 0:24:54.000 --> 0:24:56.560 is a banged up squad and he's a rookie. On 0:24:56.600 --> 0:24:58.560 the same token, you have Jordan Mason, who's the second 0:24:58.640 --> 0:25:01.280 year guy undrafted. I mean, it's just kind of been 0:25:01.280 --> 0:25:03.320 a group effort and brock Perty has been putting some 0:25:03.720 --> 0:25:06.040 compromising situations. And you look at the teams that they 0:25:06.080 --> 0:25:08.520 have lost to up to this point as well, and 0:25:08.560 --> 0:25:12.160 the games that they have played. It's not the forty 0:25:12.240 --> 0:25:14.760 nine ers you saw in Week five last year. I 0:25:14.800 --> 0:25:16.040 think we can all agree to that. Yeah, but I 0:25:16.080 --> 0:25:17.879 think on the same token. Now, this is my point. This, 0:25:18.200 --> 0:25:21.360 this is my point to clarify. You're still going Sunday night, 0:25:21.440 --> 0:25:23.679 Week seven playing the forty nine Ers, the team that 0:25:23.720 --> 0:25:25.520 has been your boogeyman over the course of the last 0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:27.800 three to four years. At the very least, it doesn't 0:25:27.840 --> 0:25:30.600 matter if it's Tommy Yars playing quarterback for these guys, 0:25:30.920 --> 0:25:33.240 it could be. It's a confidence booster. It's a confidence 0:25:33.240 --> 0:25:35.240 booster because you beat the forty nine ers, you can 0:25:35.280 --> 0:25:37.639 move into the next stretch of your schedule with that 0:25:37.720 --> 0:25:38.679 one in your back pocket. 0:25:38.840 --> 0:25:41.320 Okay, So here's the deal for anybody out there that's 0:25:41.359 --> 0:25:44.119 going to compare injury reports. Yeah, oh no, you can 0:25:44.200 --> 0:25:47.080 talk about yeah, yeah, but you've lost Dallas has lost 0:25:47.280 --> 0:25:49.200 both the defensive ends, by the way, one of them 0:25:49.280 --> 0:25:51.480 is one of the best defensive ends in the entire 0:25:51.560 --> 0:25:54.639 National Football League. You've lost one of your starting cornerbacks, 0:25:54.840 --> 0:25:58.440 you've lost your middle linebacker, you've lost your start your 0:25:58.440 --> 0:26:03.720 starting wide receiver. Yes, they're banged up. Dallas is justice 0:26:03.760 --> 0:26:05.560 banged up. I don't think there's a team out there 0:26:05.600 --> 0:26:09.040 that Dallas that has less injuries to major players on 0:26:09.080 --> 0:26:12.760 their team than Dallas. And so again, I don't feel 0:26:12.800 --> 0:26:15.320 sorry for anybody Dallas is dealing with the same thing. 0:26:15.760 --> 0:26:17.400 A win is a win is a win. 0:26:17.720 --> 0:26:20.200 If anything, it's kind of matched up because this defense 0:26:20.280 --> 0:26:22.840 is really banged up and San Francisco's offense is really 0:26:22.880 --> 0:26:24.880 banged up. So you're gonna kind of see that depth 0:26:24.960 --> 0:26:25.879 tested for both sides. 0:26:26.240 --> 0:26:28.080 Tell me what about it, well, man, I mean everybody 0:26:28.119 --> 0:26:29.159 took my points basically. 0:26:31.960 --> 0:26:35.480 Now we're just like talking. Yeah, that's why I asked 0:26:35.520 --> 0:26:36.320 the first question. 0:26:37.080 --> 0:26:39.240 This is rank you he gets rookie treatment. 0:26:39.480 --> 0:26:41.400 I think Derek said it best. It's like, well, yeah, 0:26:41.440 --> 0:26:43.840 San Francisco is banged up, but so is Dallas. Not 0:26:43.960 --> 0:26:45.760 to be Tom Herman here, but wins are hard to 0:26:45.840 --> 0:26:51.920 come by, especially in the Nflan sorry, Tom, but wins 0:26:51.960 --> 0:26:53.439 are hard to come by in the NFL. You never 0:26:53.520 --> 0:26:55.600 apologize for getting a win. It doesn't matter if I'm 0:26:55.600 --> 0:26:57.800 the quarterback for the forty nine ers. If the Cowboys 0:26:57.840 --> 0:26:59.720 win that game, you don't apologize for it. Your four 0:26:59.760 --> 0:27:02.119 and three and they need that win. It's not a 0:27:02.200 --> 0:27:04.080 must win game, I don't think. I think there are 0:27:04.240 --> 0:27:07.200 very few must win games this early in the season. 0:27:07.359 --> 0:27:14.680 But I take that back, but this is a game. 0:27:14.640 --> 0:27:16.359 That that's going to stir up so much dat and 0:27:16.400 --> 0:27:18.080 momentum into what I think is going to be a 0:27:18.080 --> 0:27:19.880 really tough one on the road against Atlanta next week. 0:27:20.040 --> 0:27:23.440 Sure, I'm Derek. As soon as you said, I don't care. 0:27:23.600 --> 0:27:25.440 I appreciate you all those years of listening to me 0:27:26.119 --> 0:27:27.800 sitting next to you on a playing bitch about that 0:27:28.200 --> 0:27:30.239 we got to win this game, man, we gotta win 0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:30.680 this game. 0:27:30.960 --> 0:27:31.560 Nobody cares. 0:27:31.600 --> 0:27:34.840 I don't nobody cares. Nobody cares. It's gonna be like 0:27:34.960 --> 0:27:36.639 you know, it's gonna say, well it was a beat up. 0:27:36.720 --> 0:27:38.320 I don't care, don't care. 0:27:38.440 --> 0:27:39.159 Did you have done for that? 0:27:39.280 --> 0:27:39.480 Beam? 0:27:43.400 --> 0:27:43.719 All right? 0:27:43.760 --> 0:27:44.680 How about this one for you? 0:27:44.840 --> 0:27:47.080 Nick Uh? 0:27:48.480 --> 0:27:53.359 This one I wanted to know. How excited are you? Okay, 0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:54.800 I'm sorry, I'm sure this one I wanted to do 0:27:54.920 --> 0:27:57.960 for you. Best guess that you will, best guess that 0:27:58.040 --> 0:28:01.560 you will see something scheme wise after the buy for 0:28:01.640 --> 0:28:03.679 the offense, so like like. 0:28:03.720 --> 0:28:06.280 A scheme change necessarily my best guess towards it. 0:28:06.520 --> 0:28:07.480 Yeah, best guess. 0:28:07.680 --> 0:28:12.480 I like this. Oh man, this is I mean, I 0:28:12.560 --> 0:28:15.560 think the easy the easy answer would be just I 0:28:15.640 --> 0:28:18.200 think the easy answer would be motion, just because there's 0:28:18.200 --> 0:28:19.960 been so much talk about it and that's what happened 0:28:20.040 --> 0:28:21.120 post by last year. 0:28:22.000 --> 0:28:22.119 Uh. 0:28:22.680 --> 0:28:25.320 I think there's going to be a little bit more 0:28:25.400 --> 0:28:27.720 creativity in the run game. And here's why. I have 0:28:27.760 --> 0:28:30.200 a couple of couple of points that could lead to 0:28:30.280 --> 0:28:31.720 a little bit of confidence in that area. 0:28:32.600 --> 0:28:35.439 Owner didn't Psyche had too much confidence in the scheme earlier. 0:28:35.720 --> 0:28:38.800 Yeah, the confidence is that's a different scale. 0:28:38.960 --> 0:28:40.719 Yes, yeah, I uh. 0:28:41.200 --> 0:28:45.000 Yesterday Mike McCarthy's press conference, well let's go back to 0:28:45.080 --> 0:28:46.920 last week. He said there were problems with how they 0:28:46.960 --> 0:28:49.960 were practicing. I asked him yesterday, followed up, Okay, have 0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:52.880 you gotten with your staff about how you guys are 0:28:52.920 --> 0:28:55.680 going to correct practicing situations? He said, we want to 0:28:55.720 --> 0:28:58.360 do more group settings. And for example, the example he 0:28:58.440 --> 0:29:01.840 put out is we need our offensive line. He said, 0:29:01.880 --> 0:29:04.000 for example, we need our offensive line to work as 0:29:04.040 --> 0:29:07.400 a unit in run block, and we need it. We're 0:29:07.400 --> 0:29:09.200 gonna take that to the practice field in the situation 0:29:09.240 --> 0:29:11.000 where we're not doing one on ones anymore. We're doing 0:29:11.040 --> 0:29:13.080 two on two s, three on threes. And so I'm 0:29:13.080 --> 0:29:14.960 thinking about it, and I'm looking at it. I'm like, Okay, 0:29:15.200 --> 0:29:18.280 if they want to be better in run blocking, then 0:29:18.320 --> 0:29:20.520 they are trying to be a more cohesive unit, which 0:29:20.600 --> 0:29:22.560 leads me to believe that there might be more a 0:29:22.640 --> 0:29:26.360 little bit more tweaks to the run blocking schematics in 0:29:26.440 --> 0:29:28.440 the sense that they can they want to get guys 0:29:28.480 --> 0:29:30.600 into the second level. Maybe help Cooper BB get into 0:29:30.640 --> 0:29:32.640 the second level with Zach Martin or with Tyler Smith. 0:29:32.920 --> 0:29:34.760 Have those guys kind of lead Gooper b B into 0:29:34.800 --> 0:29:36.400 that area until he can kind of do it on 0:29:36.480 --> 0:29:38.040 his own, you know, like walk until you can run. 0:29:38.920 --> 0:29:41.280 And I think on the on the end as well, Yes, 0:29:41.400 --> 0:29:43.600 Tyler Goeyton or I'm sorry, Yes, the tight ends have 0:29:43.720 --> 0:29:45.400 not been great at the point of attack, but they 0:29:45.440 --> 0:29:47.320 could still help Tyler Guidon a lot more than they 0:29:47.400 --> 0:29:50.440 have been, so maybe using that to to help with 0:29:50.520 --> 0:29:52.760 the run blocking schematics as well. I think you're going 0:29:52.840 --> 0:29:54.240 to see this team try to run the ball a 0:29:54.280 --> 0:29:56.200 little bit more effectively in San Francisco this week. 0:29:57.080 --> 0:29:59.440 About you, Tommy, I was kind of going to say 0:29:59.480 --> 0:30:01.480 something along the lines of getting tight ends on the 0:30:01.720 --> 0:30:03.960 on the side for guitting to help him out, and 0:30:04.040 --> 0:30:07.480 I think, you know, you look at hoping that these 0:30:07.600 --> 0:30:10.040 running backs can pass protect a little bit better. Sure, 0:30:10.320 --> 0:30:12.560 but since that was most of Nick's answer, I think 0:30:12.560 --> 0:30:14.640 they loaded the box up a little bit more defensively. 0:30:14.720 --> 0:30:17.520 I think they've just been getting a run over every 0:30:17.640 --> 0:30:20.440 single game they've played, especially in the San Francisco game. 0:30:20.480 --> 0:30:22.800 I mean, Jordan Mason's had a great year so far 0:30:22.880 --> 0:30:25.400 to start, and they've established the run really well. You know, 0:30:25.480 --> 0:30:27.360 it doesn't matter who's hurt for them on the outside. 0:30:27.600 --> 0:30:29.760 Kyle Shanahan's gonna run the ball, sure, and it doesn't 0:30:29.760 --> 0:30:31.320 matter who runs the ball for him. It could be 0:30:31.400 --> 0:30:33.640 me for all we know at this point, since Nick's 0:30:33.640 --> 0:30:36.880 basically coined me a forty nine er, they're going to 0:30:36.960 --> 0:30:38.880 run the ball really well. So I think, especially coming 0:30:38.920 --> 0:30:41.440 out into this game and you look at Atlanta too, 0:30:41.480 --> 0:30:43.760 with a guy like Bjeon Robinson. This is a team 0:30:43.840 --> 0:30:45.280 that I think needs to load the box a little 0:30:45.280 --> 0:30:48.040 bit more and you can see some benefices that for 0:30:48.120 --> 0:30:51.320 San Francisco with so many of their receivers out potentially 0:30:51.360 --> 0:30:52.680 for this game, Derek. 0:30:52.520 --> 0:30:54.480 You know, I think I think the natural answer is 0:30:54.600 --> 0:30:57.400 as Nick mentioned, was you'll see more motion, because I 0:30:57.440 --> 0:31:00.280 think that's what we saw last year. But I actually 0:31:00.320 --> 0:31:02.520 think one of the things I actually think I would 0:31:02.560 --> 0:31:05.200 do if I were the head coach is I would 0:31:05.240 --> 0:31:08.480 actually challenge those two guys on the right hand side 0:31:08.480 --> 0:31:10.800 of the offensive line, Zat Martin Terrence Steele, and I 0:31:10.840 --> 0:31:13.360 would say, hey, I know we've been struggling a little 0:31:13.400 --> 0:31:15.360 bit here. Certainly we've been struggling when it comes to 0:31:15.400 --> 0:31:17.720 pass protection. I'm gonna load this thing up, and I'm 0:31:17.720 --> 0:31:19.360 gonna let you guys power block, and I'm gonna let 0:31:19.360 --> 0:31:20.600 you guys go get after somebody. 0:31:20.920 --> 0:31:21.440 Can you do it? 0:31:21.600 --> 0:31:24.440 And I would actually power my running game behind the 0:31:24.520 --> 0:31:26.720 right hand side of this line with a challenge to 0:31:26.760 --> 0:31:29.440 those two guys and really try to get my running 0:31:29.440 --> 0:31:32.000 game established. I think that's something that is necessary for 0:31:32.080 --> 0:31:34.920 this team and the only way I think they're going 0:31:35.000 --> 0:31:37.520 to help get themselves out of the rut they're in offensively, 0:31:37.560 --> 0:31:40.480 particularly in the red zone, is to establish a running game. 0:31:40.760 --> 0:31:42.120 I would do it on the right hand side of 0:31:42.160 --> 0:31:42.400 the ball. 0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:43.720 I like that. 0:31:43.840 --> 0:31:46.480 I'll tell you what the thing different than the scheme. 0:31:47.880 --> 0:31:50.800 I think that he is going to I like what 0:31:50.920 --> 0:31:54.080 you guys are saying about the motion stuff. I think 0:31:54.160 --> 0:31:56.880 he's going to try and put get his guys more 0:31:56.960 --> 0:31:59.440 on the move. Maybe it's not and maybe it's not 0:31:59.800 --> 0:32:02.320 more all the way across. Maybe it's motion out, maybe 0:32:02.360 --> 0:32:05.760 it's short motion. Maybe it's out coming in and then running, 0:32:05.840 --> 0:32:09.080 getting into a bunch formations, scattering. He's got to create 0:32:09.160 --> 0:32:14.000 separation for his guys. Tree Eetman questions your route running, 0:32:14.400 --> 0:32:15.120 how that's been. 0:32:15.120 --> 0:32:16.320 By the way, Jerry agreed with that. 0:32:16.440 --> 0:32:19.160 This morning Jerry talked about Jerry did talk about that. 0:32:19.280 --> 0:32:21.920 He gave Troy a lot of credit. But the one 0:32:21.960 --> 0:32:24.920 thing that Jerry said was the separation aspect of it. 0:32:25.400 --> 0:32:27.840 And this is where I think that Mike McCarthy needs 0:32:27.920 --> 0:32:30.680 to try and help. You know, if you have guys 0:32:30.720 --> 0:32:34.480 that are struggling with routes, put them in motion and 0:32:34.560 --> 0:32:37.600 then allow them to play on the run. One of 0:32:37.680 --> 0:32:40.040 the great things about Ceedee Lamb at Oklahoma was his 0:32:40.120 --> 0:32:43.800 ability to play run after catch. So find ways to 0:32:44.000 --> 0:32:47.120 get him and others if they're having trouble getting off 0:32:47.160 --> 0:32:49.640 the line of scrimmage, and Jerry was talking about fighting 0:32:49.680 --> 0:32:53.320 through press coverage, fighting through those things. Don't make them fight, 0:32:53.800 --> 0:32:55.720 make them, let them, let them have a running start, 0:32:55.800 --> 0:32:58.400 don't make them play stationary football around here. You've got 0:32:58.520 --> 0:33:00.760 to find a way to get more of your guys 0:33:01.040 --> 0:33:02.960 playing on the movie. Doesn't have to be just full 0:33:03.000 --> 0:33:05.320 out motion all the time, but at least give them 0:33:05.360 --> 0:33:08.360 a chance to get a running start on these defensive 0:33:08.440 --> 0:33:10.360 backs and then maybe work that way. 0:33:10.440 --> 0:33:12.520 I'll tell you after that Lions game and the physicality 0:33:12.560 --> 0:33:14.720 of the secondary through on the Cowboys receiving core, they 0:33:14.760 --> 0:33:17.080 need Canadian rules to if I ever play with Lions, 0:33:17.440 --> 0:33:19.080 they need to be running forward now play. 0:33:19.880 --> 0:33:21.160 Yeah, exactly, that's it. 0:33:21.440 --> 0:33:24.080 Thank you very much, Derek ry good questions. All right, 0:33:24.080 --> 0:33:25.440 we're gonna take our final break. We'll come back. 0:33:25.440 --> 0:33:27.320 I got some questions for you guys. We'll talk a 0:33:27.360 --> 0:33:29.400 little bit about what we expect to see here going 0:33:29.480 --> 0:33:32.280 into the second trimester, as Mike McCarthy calls it, of 0:33:32.440 --> 0:33:34.360 the season.

I feel that this team you've been talking 0:36:47.440 --> 0:36:51.960 about the running back situation and the D tackles, and 0:36:52.120 --> 0:36:54.719 I think going into next year, they're going to need 0:36:54.840 --> 0:36:58.640 two running backs and two D tackles. And I feel 0:36:58.680 --> 0:37:01.720 the players are available in the draft, and my question 0:37:02.719 --> 0:37:06.480 is about getting more draft capital here at the trade deadline. 0:37:06.880 --> 0:37:10.480 And I feel that with the injury to Hutchinson in 0:37:10.640 --> 0:37:16.560 Detroit that Michael Parsons should have some trade value and 0:37:16.880 --> 0:37:19.680 I was wondering how much could they get for Michael 0:37:19.719 --> 0:37:23.040 Parsons to get the extra picks that they need. 0:37:23.760 --> 0:37:25.920 Yeah, the problem is when you trade for a player 0:37:26.000 --> 0:37:27.920 like that, Thanks for the call. When you trade for 0:37:27.960 --> 0:37:30.160 a player like that, then you have to think about 0:37:30.960 --> 0:37:32.839 what they're willing to give up. But they're also they 0:37:32.920 --> 0:37:35.319 have to pay. There's going to be a huge he's 0:37:35.360 --> 0:37:38.000 going to command thirty five forty million dollars. So what 0:37:38.160 --> 0:37:40.239 you have to do is sometimes teams aren't willing to 0:37:40.360 --> 0:37:43.360 give you a whole lot because they're in a situation 0:37:43.400 --> 0:37:45.400 where they're like Okay, we're giving you a pick, but 0:37:45.520 --> 0:37:47.880 we've also got to pay the line share of this 0:37:48.000 --> 0:37:48.719 salary and. 0:37:49.200 --> 0:37:51.360 Pay their guy and he's going to still be there. 0:37:51.239 --> 0:37:53.880 With he exactly. That's the that's the problem. And so 0:37:54.200 --> 0:37:57.040 you know that, you know every team, you know, you 0:37:57.160 --> 0:38:00.759 look at, teams have been been very fortunate when they've 0:38:00.800 --> 0:38:04.560 moved players that they've been able to The teams that 0:38:04.760 --> 0:38:07.839 are the buyers, I think have gotten off pretty good 0:38:08.360 --> 0:38:10.640 with you know, with the way that they've they've given up, 0:38:10.920 --> 0:38:12.920 you know, given up assets to get I don't think 0:38:13.000 --> 0:38:16.080 there's you know, we've seen in the past, you know, 0:38:16.440 --> 0:38:18.719 oh for two ones and this, that and the other. 0:38:19.360 --> 0:38:21.359 I think teams are willing to if you really really 0:38:21.400 --> 0:38:23.759 want to make this deal, you're probably not looking at 0:38:23.800 --> 0:38:26.120 two ones here, you know, you're probably looking at a 0:38:26.200 --> 0:38:28.120 one and something else along the way. 0:38:28.640 --> 0:38:30.680 Uh does that change based on the time of the year, 0:38:30.840 --> 0:38:32.839 Like as you get closer to draft do you get 0:38:32.960 --> 0:38:35.160 to does it tend to be a higher premium on 0:38:35.239 --> 0:38:37.239 the picks you get versus end season. 0:38:37.200 --> 0:38:39.160 Yeah, I think that's I think that has a lot 0:38:39.239 --> 0:38:41.040 to do with it. But like I say, teams just 0:38:41.160 --> 0:38:44.000 aren't willing Like if you're if you're willing to move 0:38:44.080 --> 0:38:47.560 on from Micah Parsons, then you know you're the seller here, 0:38:48.040 --> 0:38:50.120 you know, and teams are like knowing that you're going 0:38:50.200 --> 0:38:50.920 to be the seller. 0:38:51.640 --> 0:38:51.759 Uh. 0:38:52.000 --> 0:38:54.960 You know, if you ask for something that's ridiculous, nobody's 0:38:55.000 --> 0:38:58.080 going to buy. You've committed to selling, but you know 0:38:58.200 --> 0:39:01.080 you're you're now looking for the buyer, and the buyers 0:39:01.160 --> 0:39:03.200 are trying to get the best deal possible. And a 0:39:03.239 --> 0:39:05.400 lot of like I say, a lot of buyers for 0:39:05.520 --> 0:39:09.120 these players. Look, you know, look for these like some 0:39:09.200 --> 0:39:12.120 of these guys that have been moved, these star players 0:39:12.160 --> 0:39:14.560 that have been moved. It's been for some pretty reasonable 0:39:14.600 --> 0:39:16.640 stuff with the except I mean there's a quarterback or 0:39:16.680 --> 0:39:19.480 two that's been moving. I mean, what the what the 0:39:19.880 --> 0:39:22.520 Browns gave up, you know for the Shaun Watson and 0:39:22.600 --> 0:39:26.240 stuff like that is pretty But that's a quarterback position. 0:39:26.480 --> 0:39:29.520 I would say you're gonna shoot for two ones. I 0:39:29.560 --> 0:39:31.839 would say you're probably gonna get one in a one 0:39:31.960 --> 0:39:34.160 and something else if you were to go that route. 0:39:34.239 --> 0:39:36.239 You said something about Michael earlier on the show. I'd 0:39:36.280 --> 0:39:37.800 like to ask you about You said he's one of 0:39:37.800 --> 0:39:39.279 the best defensive ends in the league. Do you think 0:39:39.280 --> 0:39:40.680 he's one of the best pass rushers in the league 0:39:40.719 --> 0:39:42.000 or one of the best defensive ends in the league. 0:39:42.600 --> 0:39:45.400 I feel like there's a clear line there, and if. 0:39:45.280 --> 0:39:47.040 You feel like I'll put it to you like this, 0:39:47.120 --> 0:39:47.800 I'll put you like this. 0:39:48.360 --> 0:39:50.400 Most of the guys that have put in that conversation's 0:39:50.440 --> 0:39:54.000 best pass rushers. That's what you call the best defensive ends. 0:39:54.040 --> 0:39:55.719 And I don't know that they're necessarily the best because 0:39:55.719 --> 0:39:57.879 it's quite frankly, I think if you really say best 0:39:57.920 --> 0:39:59.880 defensive ends, DeMarcus Lawren should be a part of that 0:40:00.040 --> 0:40:04.200 conversation more. I just think all of us media, fans, everybody, 0:40:04.560 --> 0:40:08.440 the premium for an edge person an edge player is 0:40:08.960 --> 0:40:10.160 can you get after the quarterback? 0:40:10.320 --> 0:40:12.800 I think that's first and foremost so, so from. 0:40:12.719 --> 0:40:16.120 That standpoint, I would say holistically, knowing that pass rush 0:40:16.239 --> 0:40:18.799 is what he does best, I would say he's one 0:40:18.880 --> 0:40:22.760 of the best defensive ends, the best edges in the NFL. 0:40:23.680 --> 0:40:27.520 And you would say he's not the greatest in run support, Yeah, 0:40:27.640 --> 0:40:30.080 you know, I think they're ones that are better. I think, 0:40:30.280 --> 0:40:32.520 but I also don't think he's a liability in run support. 0:40:32.680 --> 0:40:33.239 I really don't. 0:40:34.280 --> 0:40:34.480 Yeah. 0:40:34.600 --> 0:40:36.560 I just like to say it's it's a it's kind 0:40:36.600 --> 0:40:39.879 of slippery slope that you that you walk because you think, 0:40:40.040 --> 0:40:42.560 because you have one of the best at a posit 0:40:42.680 --> 0:40:45.400 that you're going to get maximum value, and it just 0:40:45.480 --> 0:40:48.959 doesn't always work out that way because teams, teams are like, listen, 0:40:49.040 --> 0:40:51.160 we're going to have to pay him thirty five million 0:40:51.200 --> 0:40:55.200 dollars a year, you know, But how many teams are 0:40:55.239 --> 0:40:57.480 willing to do that? That's what you have to look 0:40:57.520 --> 0:40:58.080 at right there. 0:40:58.320 --> 0:41:01.359 Yeah, all right, let's get a call from Terry out 0:41:01.360 --> 0:41:01.720 in Detroit. 0:41:01.800 --> 0:41:02.279 Terry, what up? 0:41:03.239 --> 0:41:05.719 Hey, guys, a long time listen our first time caller. 0:41:07.080 --> 0:41:07.200 Uh. 0:41:07.360 --> 0:41:09.320 I just want to say I think part of the 0:41:09.480 --> 0:41:13.160 offensive line problem is you got guys playing out of position. 0:41:13.600 --> 0:41:17.040 I mean, Smith is a left tackle, he should be 0:41:17.080 --> 0:41:20.120 playing left tackle. Sixty is a right tackle, he should 0:41:20.160 --> 0:41:24.120 be playing right tackle. Okay, BB centate center, put him 0:41:24.120 --> 0:41:27.320 where he belongs. Get yourself a true center that understands 0:41:27.360 --> 0:41:31.640 the position, and I think you can move forward steal. 0:41:32.200 --> 0:41:34.040 I will probably put him up on the trade block, 0:41:34.680 --> 0:41:39.000 get some draft picks if you can with him. And 0:41:39.880 --> 0:41:41.879 my big thing at I didn't hear the last caller, 0:41:42.040 --> 0:41:45.160 but I would probably trade Parsons too. I'll put him 0:41:45.239 --> 0:41:48.680 up on the draft because you can't. His numbers don't 0:41:48.840 --> 0:41:52.279 justify the paychecks. You know, his last game he had 0:41:52.360 --> 0:41:56.160 five tackles. Okay, all his sacks seem to come in 0:41:56.239 --> 0:41:59.360 the first quarter. There's no fourth quarter sacks other than 0:41:59.400 --> 0:42:02.440 the one against the Rams. I can remember that one. Uh. 0:42:02.920 --> 0:42:06.560 But I think persons is a waste of money. If 0:42:06.560 --> 0:42:08.680 you if you give him the money, he's just it's 0:42:08.680 --> 0:42:11.120 a waste. Okay. Then you're gonna sit there and say that, 0:42:11.200 --> 0:42:14.120 You're gonna sit there and say, oh, we can't you know, 0:42:14.600 --> 0:42:16.600 pay this guy because we don't have the money because 0:42:16.600 --> 0:42:17.879 this cap strapped. 0:42:18.680 --> 0:42:18.840 You know. 0:42:19.680 --> 0:42:23.040 But I think the offensive line this year there is 0:42:23.080 --> 0:42:24.759 I think you got guys just playing out of their 0:42:24.920 --> 0:42:28.120 out of position is the key key thing there. 0:42:28.280 --> 0:42:30.640 All right, thanks for Carl guessing. 0:42:31.560 --> 0:42:33.280 I think BB is going to be a fine center. 0:42:33.400 --> 0:42:34.000 I think too. 0:42:34.440 --> 0:42:37.880 I mean, and I and I do appreciate the gentleman's 0:42:37.960 --> 0:42:41.160 thoughts though, because he's not wrong in some ways. I mean, 0:42:41.200 --> 0:42:44.399 if you think about, you know, the thing with man, 0:42:44.440 --> 0:42:48.080 you could go either way with Tyler Smith personally. 0:42:47.800 --> 0:42:49.800 He'll be great. I think it either one either. 0:42:49.680 --> 0:42:52.360 One, either guard or tackle. I mean, I I like 0:42:52.440 --> 0:42:53.080 what he did there. 0:42:53.200 --> 0:42:54.200 I do think bbe. 0:42:54.440 --> 0:42:56.560 The one problem I just had with BB is the 0:42:56.880 --> 0:42:59.719 is the twist game stuff everything else. I think he's 0:43:00.120 --> 0:43:03.080 really he's really done it, really a solid job for you. 0:43:03.239 --> 0:43:06.160 The pressures and things like that. I mean, he just 0:43:06.280 --> 0:43:09.120 gets a little too aggressive with trying to help and 0:43:09.239 --> 0:43:11.480 he needs to be a little bit more aware. But 0:43:11.600 --> 0:43:14.000 I think that comes with experience. Like I say, the 0:43:14.080 --> 0:43:17.680 thing with Geiton that is a that is massive. The 0:43:17.800 --> 0:43:20.920 learning curve is massive over there with him and the 0:43:21.040 --> 0:43:24.360 techniques and stuff. That's that's what's going to be an issue. 0:43:24.400 --> 0:43:26.600 But we're so accustomed to plug and play. We're so 0:43:26.719 --> 0:43:29.520 accustomed to whoever they draft in the first round plug 0:43:29.560 --> 0:43:31.879 and play and they're in the Pro Bowl their first year. 0:43:32.280 --> 0:43:33.920 You know, That's where we're at right now. With that, 0:43:34.120 --> 0:43:35.560 I think it's a good call. That really was. 0:43:35.760 --> 0:43:37.239 I want to throw this out real quick for for 0:43:37.320 --> 0:43:40.360 all those that have the opinion that Michael Parsons doesn't 0:43:40.400 --> 0:43:42.480 really provide for you what the money would say he 0:43:42.960 --> 0:43:46.560 would command. Just go watch the film when Mike is 0:43:46.600 --> 0:43:50.759 playing and see the amount of attention and resources that 0:43:50.920 --> 0:43:54.640 offense is dedicate to trying to stop him because I 0:43:54.719 --> 0:43:57.480 think that matters, and I would say that's to me, 0:43:57.640 --> 0:44:00.239 it's a bit of a failure on the level level 0:44:00.480 --> 0:44:03.240 of pass rush that they get from other players along 0:44:03.320 --> 0:44:06.840 that line that so much attention is paid to Micah 0:44:07.080 --> 0:44:09.640 and other guys aren't being able to get home and 0:44:09.800 --> 0:44:12.759 being able to affect the quarterback as they should. I 0:44:12.800 --> 0:44:15.319 don't think it's necessarily all Micah. I think it's more 0:44:15.320 --> 0:44:17.680 about the fact that teams are trying to take him out. 0:44:17.719 --> 0:44:20.000 They're doing whatever they can to to make him, take 0:44:20.080 --> 0:44:22.040 him out of that out of a pass rush game, 0:44:22.400 --> 0:44:25.399 and as a result, it's leaving opportunities for other guys. 0:44:25.440 --> 0:44:26.680 They're just not taking advantage of it. 0:44:26.800 --> 0:44:29.399 Running the football really hurts Micah because it takes away 0:44:29.440 --> 0:44:30.960 his ability to be a pass rusher. 0:44:31.440 --> 0:44:33.040 Slows him down, Yeah, slows him down. 0:44:33.080 --> 0:44:35.440 Well, it just the fact that they're running the ball 0:44:35.520 --> 0:44:37.560 with success and they're not throwing it. They're able to 0:44:37.600 --> 0:44:40.600 get they able to get first downs without throwing the football. 0:44:40.960 --> 0:44:43.200 They don't earn the right rushing past that. 0:44:43.320 --> 0:44:45.440 You saw what a really good pass rush did in 0:44:45.520 --> 0:44:48.880 Week one. It hasn't been that way since. It just 0:44:49.040 --> 0:44:52.480 hasn't because they've not gotten anybody into that mode. It's 0:44:52.520 --> 0:44:55.279 a pressure on Pittsburgh a little bit because the game 0:44:55.480 --> 0:44:59.520 was in the balance. But they this team, like I said, 0:44:59.600 --> 0:45:01.799 is I think it's built to be a pass rushing team. 0:45:01.840 --> 0:45:03.920 It's built to be a third down team when it 0:45:04.000 --> 0:45:06.279 comes to their pass rush. You know, we'll see about 0:45:06.280 --> 0:45:07.360 the coverage aspect of it. 0:45:07.480 --> 0:45:09.600 I've heard that point about Micah not showing up in 0:45:09.640 --> 0:45:11.400 the fourth quarter a couple of times. Just to quickly 0:45:11.480 --> 0:45:14.520 debunk that. Twelve sacks in the fourth quarter of games 0:45:14.560 --> 0:45:16.520 in his career out of forty and a half coming 0:45:16.560 --> 0:45:19.840 into the season, that's thirty percent of his sack So. 0:45:19.840 --> 0:45:22.360 It's come in the fourth quarter, right right, So I 0:45:22.360 --> 0:45:24.719 don't know, not really equitable. He's struggling more in the 0:45:24.760 --> 0:45:25.239 fourth quarter. 0:45:25.360 --> 0:45:28.160 Yeah, all right, as a rot, I appreciate you guys 0:45:28.200 --> 0:45:29.799 join us, Tommy, thank you for joining us today. 0:45:29.840 --> 0:45:33.680 Tom We'll be back tomorrow, tomorrow, all right, Yeah, gotcha. 0:45:33.760 --> 0:45:35.359 Yeah, he can show how does the rookie show up 0:45:35.360 --> 0:45:37.759 and not bring food, especially the show where we love food. 0:45:38.680 --> 0:45:39.520 We're gonna be back tomorrow. 0:45:39.520 --> 0:45:41.480 We'll talk about the forty nine Ers Cowboys will match up, 0:45:41.520 --> 0:45:43.400 how they will match up, Starting with the forty nine 0:45:43.480 --> 0:45:46.160 Ers offense versus Dallas defense.
