27
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: a little bit here. Anthony fort Wayne, Indiana, Yes. Born

28
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 3: and raised in Bishop High School. I thought that was

29
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 3: really interesting, just kind of looking back at that. You

30
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 3: were the three year starter there. You only lost three games, right,

31
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 3: What do you remember about your high school days and

32
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 3: those two state championships you won?

33
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 5: I remember the losses. I remember the losses.

34
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 4: As a true competitor one it was.

35
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 5: It was a lot of good time, a lot of

36
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 5: good times.

37
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 6: Like my first year and the freshman class that we had,

38
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 6: we only lost the three times that Like, we went

39
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 6: through the SAC was our conference, and we just beat

40
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 6: everybody our freshman year and we all kind of got

41
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 6: moved up that year. And then just getting a little

42
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 6: bit of taste of how varsity football was.

43
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 5: It was.

44
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 6: It was kind of mind blowing the difference between freshmen

45
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 6: to varsity. And then once I became our very first

46
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 6: game we lost as varsity, like we lost against the

47
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 6: five A team and we got demolished and I remember

48
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 6: us all being at Burger King after the game just

49
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 6: talking about how we all got whooped up on and

50
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 6: it was just like, we can't have this happening, like

51
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 6: and then after that it's like all of us kind

52
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 6: of just hell, does everybody accountable?

53
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 5: Like do your job? I do my job. And then

54
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 5: we just went on a winning.

55
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, but me, So what you just one sport?

56
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 5: Guy? Did you get into?

57
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 6: I love I loved basketball. Basketball was my number one

58
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 6: sport growing up. I had a lot of hoop dreams.

59
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 6: I thought that I was going to be the next

60
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 6: Michael Jordan, but I learned quickly like playing au because

61
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 6: that was every summer in Indiana.

62
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 5: It was just always basketball, basketball, basketball.

63
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 6: So probably around sophomore year I started. I was playing

64
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 6: that power forward center, uh swing guard position. The guy

65
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 6: started being six six six seven, you know, so I

66
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 6: was like, I can't, I'm not matching up well. So

67
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 6: it pushed me into the football world a lot more.

68
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 4: The kids watching this show just got the six seven.

69
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 5: My kids love it.

70
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 4: I knew. I knew as soon as you said that

71
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 4: that you said your kids would.

72
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, now did you?

73
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 8: Was NFL always a dream or was it kind of

74
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 8: like at some point it became a dream.

75
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 5: At one point it became a dream. You know. I

76
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 5: was always doing.

77
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 6: What I had to do to do what I wanted

78
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 6: to do, and that kind of just even one thing

79
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 6: led to another. I was really good at basketball and

80
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 6: I was really good at football. I had scholarships to

81
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 6: do both. But just me seeing the I mean the

82
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 6: writing on the wall, I guess to say, just to

83
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 6: see that I was better at football, Like I got

84
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 6: more accolades and more praise for it.

85
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 5: So I just stayed with what I was good at.

86
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, looking back, we'll talk about the NFL here in

87
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 3: just a little bit, But in you're recruiting, when your

88
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 3: recruitment was going on, you ended up going to Purdue. Yeah,

89
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 3: what other offers that you have and what went into

90
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 3: that decision? Was it wanting to stay close to home?

91
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 3: And what was it about coach Tiller that made you

92
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 3: want to commit to the boiler Makers?

93
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 2: Uh?

94
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 6: The biggest thing that separated, Like I had offers from

95
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 6: like Texas A and m Michigan State. I was like

96
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 6: I had offers from all over because I would go

97
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 6: to these camps and they were like, oh, like you're

98
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 6: really I would get offered at the camp.

99
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 5: But my grades weren't good.

100
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 6: So Purdue what they like, they were like a lot

101
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 6: of teams were like, he's not gonna be able to

102
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 6: get eligible. What they really tried to Purdue helped me,

103
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 6: Like they helped me. They told me I need to

104
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 6: take night school. They told me what classes I should

105
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 6: really take over, what I should focus on, and uh

106
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 6: even the SAT like telling me like to go take

107
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 6: a test or practice practice tests for the SAT. Like

108
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 6: they just got me prepared, you know what I mean.

109
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 6: And that really showed me that they wanted me there.

110
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 6: And then once I got my grades right, everybody came

111
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 6: back like the offers out of Wahoo.

112
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 5: But I was like, I'm gonna go.

113
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go to Purdue because it was just like

114
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 6: they wanted me there, and it was like, I don't know,

115
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 6: I always I always try to just read between the

116
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 6: lines in life, you know what I mean, because there's

117
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 6: always options. You got choices you have made. The choices

118
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 6: that you make is really gonna shape shape your life,

119
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. So I really uh looked

120
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 6: at those things before I made decisions like that.

121
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 3: And then just with coach till Or he was there

122
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 3: for a really long time, and especially when by the

123
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 3: time that you had gone there, what was your relationship

124
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 3: like with him and how did you see it grow

125
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 3: over the years there, especially going into the senior year.

126
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 4: Where you had your best year in college.

127
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 6: Football accountability wise, like because like I said, like my

128
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 6: grades that didn't change when I got to college, you

129
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 6: know what I mean. So it was like just them

130
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 6: him keeping me accountable to my grades and just the

131
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 6: amount of work that I put into things, and then

132
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 6: the the gratitude and the things that I had for

133
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 6: what I have done for myself. I made it made

134
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 6: it more important, you know I mean, and just him

135
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 6: showing me how to make things important in my life,

136
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 6: how I went about it, the decisions that I was making,

137
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 6: and it just he was just like more of a

138
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 6: father figure.

139
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 5: A lot of a lot of coaches that I had.

140
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 6: I probably had probably three four different position coaches while

141
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 6: I was there, but each one of them brought different

142
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 6: aspects of my personality out, you know what I mean.

143
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 6: So they had guys that yelled at me and tried

144
00:06:58,279 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 6: to get it out to me, and then guys asked

145
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 6: playing to me, like if you just did X, like

146
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 6: it was just a lot of different personalities and now

147
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 6: today it just really helped shape me and to be

148
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 6: able to cause I do. I coach with my kids now.

149
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 6: So like when I'm coaching certain kids, it's like I

150
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 6: don't get through to them if I'm yelling or be

151
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 6: in a certain type of way. So it's like everybody

152
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 6: responds to different Yes, sure you know what I mean.

153
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 5: So it's like I learned all that.

154
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 6: From Coach Tiller and all the other coaches I had

155
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 6: while I was at Producer.

156
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 7: Let me let me so the accolades man, he said,

157
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 7: your senior year, I mean, tell me about it, man, Yeah, going, well,

158
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 7: this is what this was like.

159
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 6: So my junior year, I can't like I was went

160
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 6: to that little combine thing and then like I was

161
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 6: projected to be a six round pick and the guys

162
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 6: I was playing with that gap that went out that

163
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 6: year they were third, second, fourth round picks. I'm like,

164
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 6: I'm just as good, or if not better than these guys.

165
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 6: So I went after that, I went to home for

166
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 6: whatever break it was. I was working at General Motors

167
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 6: during that time. Like my mom, she worked at General

168
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 6: MoES for a really long time. But during that time

169
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 6: when I was working at General Motors, I was making

170
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 6: seventeen twenty.

171
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 5: Dollars an hour, which I thought was you know.

172
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 6: What I mean, like a lot of freaking money back then.

173
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 6: So but after working there for like three four weeks

174
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 6: and not having what I thought I should have out

175
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 6: of it, yeah, I mean, like it's a lot of

176
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 6: hard work and put put perspective on the work that

177
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 6: I was doing at Purdue. So I went back to

178
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 6: Purdue after that, like three weeks of summer and I

179
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 6: went back. I did every rep I ran. I try

180
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 6: to be the first in every race. Like I just

181
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 6: I just pushed myself to like to the end, I mean,

182
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 6: because I saw the life that I could be living

183
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 6: in Fort Wayne and working at General Motors and doing

184
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 6: those things. But it's like, yeah, if I just pushed

185
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 6: myself a little bit more, and you know, I mean,

186
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 6: it wasn't hard. Yeah, I mean it was like when

187
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 6: before it was hard, you know. I mean when I

188
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 6: looked at it, it was.

189
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 5: A lot of things that I didn't want to do.

190
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 6: But it just put things in perspective and made football easy.

191
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 6: It made me enjoy it and love it for because

192
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 6: it's a game, you know, I mean, like, who has

193
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 6: the opportunity to play a game for a living. I

194
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 6: tell the same thing to my kids, Like, you do

195
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 6: a lot of work now so that you can have

196
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 6: a lot of choices later.

197
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that work paid off and you certainly made

198
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 3: it look easy. Ten and a half sacks. Let the

199
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 3: team ninety three tackles. That was third on the team,

200
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 3: First Team All Big Ten, third Team.

201
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 4: All American.

202
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 3: We keep on going down the list, but that was

203
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 3: a that was a really special year.

204
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, I was that style of football up there. I

205
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 8: always look at all the conferences and I'm like, there's

206
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 8: a lot of pageantry in Big twelve. There's a lot

207
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 8: of it feels fast on the West Coast, but up there,

208
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 8: it's like this smash mouth style of football. Right is

209
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 8: that do you kind of see the same thing? Yes,

210
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 8: for sure, Like and and that was the Big Ten.

211
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 8: Now it's completely different.

212
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 5: It's a little bit o next week.

213
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, but the culture there it was just like more

214
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 6: just in your face fight, like like who's tougher than who?

215
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 6: Type of situation in our team my senior year, like

216
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 6: we've built our like foundation around that, like we like

217
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 6: we compete against each other, we and It's like, I

218
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 6: feel like a show too, because like they're like Nikovich, Cliff,

219
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 6: all these guys that are coming out a pretty during

220
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 6: that time is because we.

221
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 5: Were just we're steel sharpened and steel.

222
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 6: You mean, we all were working against each other and

223
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 6: making each other better during that time.

224
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 3: Wow, well it certainly worked. Really, that hard nose style

225
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 3: is the big ten. I feel like it's always regardless

226
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 3: of the shifting landscape of college football, it's always been

227
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 3: known for who's the toughest team, who's the most hard

228
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 3: nosed team on the interior, and specifically on the interior,

229
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 3: that's kind of where the nose area was, kind of

230
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 3: where you had started your career. And then when we

231
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 3: get to our next time, we're gonna go and take

232
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 3: our first break here. We're gonna talk about the movie

233
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 3: that Anthony Spencer made to the outside and when you

234
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 3: became a first round pick back in two thousand and seven,

235
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 3: the Cowboys moved you outside, and trivia question for all

236
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 3: of you guys heading into the break here, he ended

237
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 3: up starting next to a guy in Dallas who wore

238
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 3: the number ninety four.

239
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 4: I know it's going to be really difficult to figure

240
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 4: out who that is.

241
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 3: But we'll talk about that in more coming up on

00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 3: going to dive a little bit more into Anthony Spencer,

257
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 3: who was our special guest tonight NFL career. We talked

258
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 3: going into the break a little bit about what do

259
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 3: you remember from Draft nine of two thousand and seven.

260
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 6: Oh, I remember not wanting to have people at the house,

261
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 6: and then getting to the house and it was full

262
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 6: of people, and my mom wanted to have a party

263
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 6: and all that stuff. But I'm I've always been like

264
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 6: to myself and like, just I don't know. I don't

265
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 6: like the hoopla. Yeah, I don't like the hype. I

266
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 6: don't like the hype. Yeah, I've never been like that.

267
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 6: So that's what I remember most about it. But it

268
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 6: was it was a very exciting time for me, just

269
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 6: because I wasn't sure where I was going to go,

270
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 6: Like I had had projections of where I was going

271
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 6: to be at, and I had visited so many different

272
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 6: teams and talked to so many different people during that

273
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 6: time that it was just like I had no idea.

274
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 5: But once I knew where.

275
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 6: I was gonna go, it was very exciting because I

276
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 6: knew of the Cowboys because they were America's team right

277
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 6: so to say. But as a as a young child

278
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 6: growing up, I wasn't I didn't watch football, like, I

279
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 6: wasn't a football fan like.

280
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 5: I was more into basketball and stuff like that.

281
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 6: So just for me just to know the organization and

282
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 6: the people that I was going to be around, like

283
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 6: it made it easier, I feel like.

284
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 3: And then being a first round pick, regardless of year,

285
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 3: you come in with high expectations and you know, usually

286
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 3: you're looked at us. You're gonna be starting playing early, right,

287
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 3: Well for you, Greg Allis is still dealing with the

288
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 3: injury and all right, removing the outside you're starting next

289
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 3: to the Marcus Ware. What was that rookie season like

290
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 3: and how much did wear help you early on?

291
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 5: Man? D Ware was awesome for me.

292
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 6: Like I remember the first day I got there and

293
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 6: it was just like he's just yelling my name across

294
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 6: the locker room and I don't even know who he is,

295
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 6: and I like he walking up and just embracing me

296
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 6: and making it just feel at home, you know, I

297
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 6: mean just like like they wanted me there. Like it

298
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 6: was like the same type of thing that I felt

299
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 6: when I went to produce, so and just deware and

300
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 6: even Greg Greg was super helpful for me on my

301
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 6: first year. Like even with it being like a business

302
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 6: and I'm taking his job or having his like us

303
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 6: having the same job, he wasn't ever like not trying

304
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 6: to help me.

305
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 5: So that was another big just.

306
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,239
Speaker 6: Thinking because I didn't really understand how the how the

307
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 6: business of the game worked at that time. Like when

308
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 6: I got here, like I knew I was going to

309
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 6: be backing him up, But I didn't know that he

310
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 6: was going to be leaving, you know what I mean,

311
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 6: Like I like, I didn't know I was gonna be

312
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 6: like taking his position in that in that type of way,

313
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 6: but then to it forth to turn out how it did,

314
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 6: and him to be the person that he was to me, Like,

315
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 6: he just made it easier for me when new guys

316
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 6: came in, to be able to feed into them and

317
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 6: just give them knowledge into I don't know, just to

318
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 6: push it forward. Like, but he where and Greg were

319
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 6: both awesome when I first got here.

320
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 8: You know, sometimes you're in high school man among boys,

321
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 8: you go to college, it's good.

322
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 5: Then you get to the NFL.

323
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 8: The power, the difference and strength of guys across from you.

324
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 8: How different was that? Was there a wake up call there?

325
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 5: Yes? For sure? So my that first like that first

326
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 5: training camp, it was.

327
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 6: Like playing a high school or college game every every practice,

328
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 6: you know what I mean.

329
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 5: So it was it was a lot. It was a

330
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 5: lot different.

331
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 6: So it made it but it made me better faster,

332
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 6: Like and the guys that we had on the team

333
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 6: on that offensive line that first year, like they made

334
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 6: me get ready for the league. I mean, just the

335
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,479
Speaker 6: practices were the hardest thing during the week, you, I mean,

336
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 6: then when we got into the game, it was just like,

337
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 6: I'm doing what I was doing in practice all week.

338
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 6: So it made it a lot easier just competing against

339
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 6: guys of that caliber, you know.

340
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 8: I mean, yea, having that kind of coaching staff is

341
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 8: always nice, right, right?

342
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 7: I hope I ain't jump in the gum. But now,

343
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 7: what was position did he play in college? Because you

344
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 7: had a question?

345
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 4: Was I incorrect about that?

346
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 5: You? What position did you play in college? I played?

347
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 6: I played defensive end in college, So I went, I

348
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 6: went from, well.

349
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 4: There you go, there's my first coming back.

350
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 8: In the three four edge, right, like that was what

351
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 8: he did.

352
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, but you're you said I played I played nose

353
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 6: when I was in high school, right, and then I

354
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 6: moved to defensive Yah.

355
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 7: Yeah, I just wanted to know because I kind of

356
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 7: missed that part. So I'm like, because a lot of

357
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 7: guys get moved around coming out of high school, you

358
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 7: the biggest guy, even though you ain't the biggest guy

359
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 7: when you get to get to high school, even middle school,

360
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 7: you ain't the biggest guy when you get to college.

361
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 7: And so you know, like I was, I was just

362
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 7: the biggest guy you know. So I just wanted to

363
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 7: know him because a lot of guys started one position

364
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 7: and all of a sudden, you're like, wow, this kid

365
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 7: developed from a nose guard right to the outside linebacker.

366
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 6: And it's like, as I got first there along end

367
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 6: of my career, it's just like I I've moved further

368
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 6: and further away from the ball.

369
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, what is.

370
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 4: That transition like as you look back on it now

371
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 4: you know it? Sometimes when you see.

372
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 3: Guys move around as from fans, from an outsider subspective,

373
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 3: it's oh, okay, they're moving a little bit more on

374
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 3: the outside. Yeah, what changes and what are the difficulties

375
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 3: of changing that?

376
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 4: When you move from not just high school to college,

377
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 4: but especially college.

378
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 5: Is the NFL responsibilities? So as a defensive end, it's.

379
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 6: A pretty much straightforward You're going to get the quarterback

380
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 6: and the guy goes down, you do such and such.

381
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,719
Speaker 6: But when you have a linebacker position, like you're in

382
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 6: the past routes now and the coverages and uh, it's

383
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 6: just a lot more the checks. And I loved it because.

384
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 5: It made me know more about the defense.

385
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 6: It helped me learn more about what this guy was

386
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 6: doing and what that guy was doing, so it made

387
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 6: me do my job easier.

388
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 8: Nate, you were talking this morning when you were on

389
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 8: with our morning show Sean and RJ and Bobby, They

390
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 8: and you were talking about, you know when you learn

391
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 8: that pop that use your hands reset the guy. I

392
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 8: was just thinking, my, you know, my kids in middle school,

393
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 8: I'm teaching him these things like that. I was like,

394
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 8: oh man, I got to get him powerful right there.

395
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 8: But I was I was kind of curious because the

396
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 8: reset he reset you how when when you get reset?

397
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 5: How does now what do you.

398
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 8: What You're going through your mind because it's a lot

399
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 8: of instinct, but you just got moved off. Now you

400
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 8: still got to get to the quarterback right.

401
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 6: So like my first couple of years, it was a

402
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 6: lot of I would say growing pains, just because I

403
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 6: was having to learn how to move backwards and then

404
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 6: move forwards and in certain different situations. So if it

405
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 6: was a pass, then I would be in coverage, and

406
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 6: if it was a run, then I should be going forward.

407
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 6: So just getting my feet together, the footwork was just

408
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 6: the biggest thing for my my my the progression in

409
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 6: my first couple of years, it's just making sure that

410
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 6: I didn't fall.

411
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 5: Step, And it was just a lot of little things.

412
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 6: And I mean, I feel like that was what really

413
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 6: made good players good, is that they had to focus

414
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 6: on the little things and do the little things like

415
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 6: they were your job.

416
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, the details at this level or the difference margins.

417
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 7: And see when I'm playing a guy like him, that's

418
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 7: a great pass rusher, and I want him into a

419
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 7: second move because if I can get him into a

420
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 7: second move, that give my quarterback a chance to get

421
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 7: that first read.

422
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 5: You know so, But that's why I'm saying.

423
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 7: If I'm sitting back on him and he's outside linebacker,

424
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 7: if I can get him to sturdy his feet, that

425
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 7: gives my quarterback even a better chance to make that read.

426
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 7: But if he moving into me in one fluid movement

427
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 7: and he's gonna coming off that edge, now I'm losing

428
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 7: a step. And if he get even with me, he

429
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 7: leaving me and my quarterback gonna have to make a move.

430
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 7: He's gonna get knocked out, he gonna scramble away.

431
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 5: And that was that was the biggest thing for me.

432
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 6: Like I said, with the feedwork, it's just making sure

433
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 6: that I was on the tackle by the time he

434
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 6: was typing for me to be on the tackle and

435
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 6: I'm not back on the line. And it was just

436
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 6: like figuring that part out was the hardest part.

437
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 8: As when you were studying Nate, did you go, okay,

438
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 8: that's his first move, his second move will be this, yeah, okay.

439
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 7: So you were already thinking the the great players, you

440
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 7: can see it you just setting up. Yeah, yeah, but

441
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 7: average player, oh my god, it's yeah all day. But

442
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 7: a player that was fluid, like you said, had his

443
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,479
Speaker 7: steps down. He looking at your feet too, because if

444
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 7: you turn too much to that sideline, he dipping and going.

445
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 7: But if you try to stay straight up, he got choices.

446
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 7: He can speed power, your power, your speed.

447
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 5: So it's you know, and like I say, it can

448
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 5: be a battle. You can have your hands full.

449
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 3: You know, you said a lot of guys had their

450
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 3: hands full with with you, Anthony.

451
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 4: But especially in that twenty twelve.

452
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 3: Season when you go for eleven sacks and a Pro Bowl,

453
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 3: what do you feel like click that year? What was

454
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 3: it that Not that you weren't great in the earlier years,

455
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 3: but what was it about the details that finally came together.

456
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 6: I think it was the response, Like again, the responsibility

457
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 6: I started to have with a defense, like a I

458
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 6: just knew it more. I knew where I was supposed

459
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 6: to be. I knew how I did to do my job,

460
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 6: and if I didn't do my I knew how to

461
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 6: get in the place to.

462
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 5: Do my job. I mean I knew. I just knew

463
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 5: a lot.

464
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 6: I just knew a lot more than I did when

465
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 6: I first started. And I feel like that's just a

466
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 6: progression of football, Like the as you play, like people

467
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 6: study you, and as you as they study you got

468
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 6: to continue to recreate your moves and yourself to stay relevant.

469
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 8: Work those hands a little bit more. Yeah, Now the responsibilities,

470
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 8: it's not just go get the quarterback. No, you got

471
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 8: to play the run too, right, I mean, I'm this

472
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 8: is this is an important part of what we're seeing

473
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 8: right now. How Like when you're the instinct of seeing,

474
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,959
Speaker 8: seeing what's happening, knowing to play. You did a lot

475
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 8: of studying just to get to that that game. But

476
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 8: then now I'm on the field and I know my responsibility.

477
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 8: I gotta seal this edge, right because then this guy goes.

478
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 6: I believe that was the same year Dewaar had a

479
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 6: lot of just more injuries at you so he didn't

480
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 6: play as much, and so I was put into that

481
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 6: role where I was rushing and having opportunity to just

482
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 6: do more. Yeah, I like when you're if I don't

483
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 6: have to worry about if the quarterbacks passing and running,

484
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 6: then I can just go. I'm all my attentions going

485
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 6: forward all the time, and I don't have to be going.

486
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 4: Back if it's passing.

487
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 6: It changes your whole aggressiveness of your person in the game.

488
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 3: And you know, I think Corey was bringing up how

489
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 3: it's relevant to this Cowboys team. I think too, you

490
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 3: were getting some really good quarterback player from Tony Romo.

491
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 4: Over of course of your time in Dallas.

492
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 3: You're seeing a lot of the same thing with Dak

493
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 3: Prescott nowt here in twenty twenty five. Complimentary football is

494
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 3: what every coach, regardless of level and football is looking

495
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 3: for in your mind, what goes into it from a

496
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 3: defensive standpoint that needs to happen to capitalize for your offense,

497
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 3: And what did go into it with Tony Back when

498
00:25:58,920 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 3: you were playing.

499
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 6: The turnover battle, I feel like was always the biggest thing,

500
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 6: Like you have to win the turnover battle. When you can't,

501
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 6: I want to say you can't stop people, but when

502
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 6: you are, I don't even know how to explain it.

503
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 6: You have to win a turnover battle, like because like

504
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 6: if you if you're not getting turnover because you're your

505
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 6: team is keeping pace with the other team. Like points wise, yea,

506
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 6: if they score, we score, they score, we score.

507
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 5: We try to just find a spot in there.

508
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 6: Where we could get a field goal or turnover and

509
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 6: give it back to our team so they can get

510
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 6: that points where they're just that now we're up, and

511
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 6: then they're like now the next thing, but there's trailer

512
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 6: and they're still scoring, but it's just at a slower pace,

513
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 6: you know, I.

514
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 7: Mean, and I know it's exactly what you're saying, because

515
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 7: when our defense gave us the ball and I played,

516
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 7: we wanted six. Right to go down and get three

517
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 7: is kind of wasted their time.

518
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 5: So or if they get a major stop, we want

519
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 5: to go down and get six threes. Lose you games.

520
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 7: That's why I'm not a big fan of kickers, but

521
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 7: I'm a big fan.

522
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 5: I'm a big fan of guys that scored touchdowns.

523
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 7: Kickers only have one two things to tie a game

524
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 7: to keep going. I don't need you being a part

525
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 7: of the score escapade. You know what I'm saying. But anyway,

526
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 7: but I know what you're saying, because threes and turnovers,

527
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 7: that's what we that's what we look at. They give

528
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 7: us opportunity and they and we put them in a

529
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 7: bad position by turning the ball and they just only

530
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 7: give up three. That's a victory. Now we need to

531
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 7: go down and get six. We need to go down

532
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 7: there and get that seventh.

533
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 8: Did you play on the team though, They had like

534
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 8: twelve field goals in one game and that's how they

535
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 8: got to win. Which game was that? I can't remember remember?

536
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, maybe that's why. I don't know, but we did.

537
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 5: We had every once in a while exactly we did.

538
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 4: We but just find a way.

539
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 7: I'm gonna tell you something, man, that was a different

540
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 7: style of game.

541
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 8: It was there. Definitely was right down Vegles was a baser.

542
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a lot like vintage.

543
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 5: That was the Beast.

544
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 3: All right, Well, we're gonna take our second break now,

545

567
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 3: for being here. Let's dive right back into it. We've

568
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 3: got uh let's talk about this week six game for

569
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 3: Dallas and Week five against the Jets.

570
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 4: They get five sacks.

571
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 3: That's as many as they had in the first four games,

572
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 3: and then they play like that against the Panthers, only

573
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 3: get one sack, are failing to get pressure on the quarterback.

574
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 4: Is Nate Newton's trying to wrap his head around it?

575
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 3: Anthony as a defensive player, what do you make of

576
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 3: this Dallas pass rush up to this point, because it

577
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 3: seems like they are struggling to find consistency getting in

578
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 3: the backfield.

579
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 5: Just that.

580
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 6: I mean, it's it's and that's I feel like that's

581
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 6: the hardest thing to be in football, is consistent, you

582
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 6: know what I mean, because there are everyone sees who

583
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 6: you are and they're trying to stop you from being

584
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 6: that you. I mean, so it's just just trying to

585
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 6: be consistent, and I feel like that's the hardest thing

586
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 6: to do in this in this league. But you gotta

587
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 6: find some way to try to, you mean, create it

588
00:32:55,640 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 6: with pressures, with blitzing or some way. But it has

589
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 6: to be it has to be created somehow, you know.

590
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 5: One of the one of.

591
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 8: The things that Brian brought us says that Reggie White

592
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 8: hated playing against Eric Williams. Yes, because Eric Williams would

593
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 8: do anything it took to defeat him. That day and

594
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 8: when the when you watch this game that Tommy's talking about,

595
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 8: it did feel like I see a play with guid

596
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 8: and throwing a guy on the ground. I was like,

597
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 8: I need more of that right there. That physicality in

598
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 8: the in the trenches is where that starts. And I

599
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 8: and I don't know how you go into a game

600
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 8: on any given Sunday and don't have that. I just

601
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 8: can You'll explain how that happens, or you just get

602
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 8: hit in the mouth and then you don't know how

603
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 8: to respond hits.

604
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 7: And he was at Purdue, right, but Pat big Ten right,

605
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 7: he was bred that way. The game is not bread

606
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 7: that way for every player nowadays. And if you don't

607
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 7: have a couple of those guys that can show you

608
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 7: the way, it's hard.

609
00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 5: I mean, we we have who we have.

610
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 7: We have Clark. Clark is not a bona fide pass rush.

611
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 7: He's an a one run stop. But it's it's it's

612
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 7: hard for him because you don't have enough guys coming

613
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 7: and understanding what how to fill their gaps. So uh,

614
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 7: right about now you just have to, like you.

615
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 5: Say, find a way. You know, hey, man, I'm not

616
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 5: gonna be moved out of this a gap.

617
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 7: You know, I may have to give up a little

618
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 7: bit of pass rush to make sure we don't give

619
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 7: up and run, or you know what, I'm just gonna

620
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 7: shoot this gap, but I gotta make the play.

621
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 6: And the Cowboys their their offense is I think one

622
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,280
Speaker 6: of the best offenses in the league.

623
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 5: So they practice with each other.

624
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's a big way of trying to better

625
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 6: get better, Right, you.

626
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 5: Get better by playing against each other.

627
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 6: Like our practices that we would have were, like I said,

628
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 6: like we were playing college games. It felt like I

629
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 6: was God damn playing a game after practice.

630
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 5: So it was just hard.

631
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 6: You got to make it hard in practice so when

632
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 6: you get into the games that makes it more easier.

633
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 3: You know, Nate was talking about the run, stopping the

634
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 3: run and filling gaps and things like that.

635
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 4: You know, when they made the Micael Parsons.

636
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 3: Trade, the message was, hey, we can scheme pressure, but

637
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 3: you can't scheme stopping the run. Well, it doesn't seem

638
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 3: like they're doing a great job of stopping the run.

639
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 3: When you look at the linebackers playing right now, it

640
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 3: looks like they're.

641
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 4: As again, Nate is starting to cry over here.

642
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 3: Guys are either shooting the wrong gaps, or they're they're

643
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 3: kind of out of place. It seems like communication is

644
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 3: something that by week six, especially when a lot of

645
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 3: these guys have spent Mini camp and training camp together,

646
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 3: you're more or less on the same page. How do

647
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 3: you fix communication when guys are still maybe not as

648
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 3: confident in what they're seeing and where they're supposed to be.

649
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 6: With that, just being confident in what you're doing and

650
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 6: how you're doing it. Yeah, I mean, like I feel

651
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 6: like once you once I started to know the defense

652
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 6: and what I was doing and how to do it,

653
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 6: I played quick fast. I wasn't thinking about where I

654
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 6: was supposed to be or how want to get there

655
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 6: or any.

656
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 5: Of that stuff.

657
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 6: Like I knew how I was gonna do it, and

658
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 6: I knew I just knew how to execute you, I mean,

659
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 6: and it just comes down to that execution and you.

660
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 5: Just got to exit.

661
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 6: And it's a fight, yeah, I mean, because the other

662
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 6: team is trying to stop you from executing, because like

663
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 6: you have to want to be in that gap more

664
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 6: than the other guy doesn't want you in that gap.

665
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 6: When it comes down through pretty much it's hard though,

666
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 6: I mean, it's hard.

667
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 4: These guys are getting paid.

668
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 3: And you know, physicality too has been something that Brian

669
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 3: Schottenheimer's talked about in terms of aker we're going to

670
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 3: be a physical football team, but he admitted it too.

671
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 3: They were not the more physical football team in Carolina

672
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 3: and it really kind of rare its ugly teeth.

673
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 8: Defensively, he did kind of mention a couple of times

674
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 8: this week playing fast and they want him to play fast.

675
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 8: Do you think they're gonna try and streamline some things differently?

676
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 5: How do you guys feel like what.

677
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 8: They're they're going to do to make these guys be

678
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:54,240
Speaker 8: able to play fast?

679
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 5: Well?

680
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 3: Something that I can lead Anthony into this is, you know,

681
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 3: there's been a conversation of Okay, we need to make

682
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 3: things simpler on defense, right, we need to simplify the

683
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 3: play calls and things like that. And you know, Maddy Reflues' defense,

684
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 3: it's a four to three and when they have been

685
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,240
Speaker 3: playing at their best and it stops to Chicago, Indianapolis

686
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 3: and even when he's a linebackers coaching Dallas, they stopped

687
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 3: the run well and they turned the ball over. They've

688
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 3: won the turnover bat the last three games, but it

689
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 3: hasn't really meant much because they're given four hundred yards

690
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,919
Speaker 3: up on offense. So in terms of how how much

691
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 3: simpler can it get to be able to put guys

692
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 3: in the right position, And does simplicity mean that things

693
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 3: aren't necessarily going to get better?

694
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 5: Uh?

695
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 6: I feel like they will play faster. And when you

696
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 6: like when you're thinking a lot, like when you're out

697
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 6: there and you get up into a block and you're like, oh,

698
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 6: maybe I supposed to be here, like that hesitation or

699
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 6: that little uncertainty, it slows you down. Like in the

700
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 6: game is like seconds, yeah, I mean like three seconds

701
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 6: they have to play is over with you? I mean,

702
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 6: so that little hesitation like that's half the play right there.

703
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 6: So it's just it's like when you simplify it, it

704
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:06,240
Speaker 6: makes you play faster, but you have to execute better,

705
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 6: you know what I mean.

706
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 5: Like the execution has to be perfect, perfect perfect.

707
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 7: These guys offense and DC one as and coordinators are

708
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 7: too smart when when they say, hey man, it's a

709
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 7: four to three guy over the tackle, guy over the guard,

710
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 7: they ain't moving.

711
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 5: They barely running in the games that's run.

712
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 7: Games we've finished, we've been, we've been toa liked them up.

713
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 7: You know a lot of Jets. Jets did not move.

714
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 7: They stayed basic. We at them alive, We out quick them.

715
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 7: We were more confident. You come up to the next team,

716
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 7: they moved a little bit. We didn't move at all,

717
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 7: and it hurt us. We played fast, we played simple.

718
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,959
Speaker 7: But you gotta understand that offensive coordinator was reading us.

719
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 6: Like a book, right, and that and I feel like

720
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,439
Speaker 6: each week in the NFL that what you did last

721
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 6: week is not gonna work the next you know what

722
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 6: I mean, Like, you gotta they're too smart, like you

723
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 6: have to, especially if it worked the week prior, Like

724
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:09,240
Speaker 6: if you did something well that week, the next week,

725
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 6: they're gonna be attacking what you did well. So you

726
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 6: have to find a way to disguise what you're doing

727
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 6: to be able to do it well. Yeah, I mean,

728
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 6: because once they know what you're doing, it's like we

729
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 6: know what place.

730
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 4: To run against. You've got it on tape, right.

731
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 5: Yeah.

732
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 6: So it's it's a it's a copycat league, but it's

733
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 6: like who can who can make the best adjustments the fastest.

734
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 3: Right, and and in along with it being a copycat league,

735
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 3: you were kind of mentioning it it's a week to

736
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 3: week league where it seems like now there's so much

737
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 3: parody across the board, and Brian Schoenheimer is talking about it,

738
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 3: Jerry Jones is talking about it. Does it seem like

739
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 3: this is as you watch games around the league and

740
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 3: you think back to when you were playing, Does it

741
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 3: seem like this is the most parody this league has

742
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 3: had in a long time.

743
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 6: I would have to say, like it's still I feel

744
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,720
Speaker 6: like it's still early in the in this in the season,

745
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 6: just because what I was just saying, like because teams

746
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 6: watching other teams and they're preparing.

747
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 5: Like even though you may not be playing.

748
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 6: Against that that team or that week, like you're still

749
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,439
Speaker 6: putting in plays and things getting ready for that team,

750
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 6: you know what I mean? Like, so everybody is getting ready,

751
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 6: like is ready for everybody right now. But once like

752
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 6: you started to get tired and the injuries and the just.

753
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 5: The football start life.

754
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 6: When life starts life and against your team, I mean,

755
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 6: like that's when you're like the it starts to separate,

756
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 6: Like who's gonna have something to lean on, like their foundation?

757
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 6: Who has the strongest foundation, And that's basically who ends

758
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 6: up winning the Super Bowl every year? Like the team

759
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 6: that believes in what they're doing the most and does

760
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 6: it the.

761
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:52,439
Speaker 5: Best and the least amount of injuries. Yeah, right, key, Yeah.

762
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 7: The thing that I see in this league right now,

763
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,760
Speaker 7: the owners, they probably haven't a zoom eating like brother,

764
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 7: we got this thing. We got more four and two

765
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 7: teams and shaking stick at I mean, and so because

766
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 7: I'm teasing these guys, I went on one of their

767
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 7: shows and I'm teasing them all games about their power rankers.

768
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 5: Everybody got all different type power ranks week and week.

769
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 7: It ain't like Okay, it's Kansas City for five straight weeks. Sorry,

770
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 7: it's bubbalover eight straight weeks. It's up and.

771
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 5: Down the camp and is big. I'm liking it.

772
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 7: A lot of people thinking that it's sloppy football.

773
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 5: I don't think so. People are getting better.

774
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 7: They are blocking field goals, blocking extra points. The return

775
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 7: game is better, so people got a shorter distance to go.

776
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 5: The game is exploding.

777
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 7: This is what the fans fought for and want, and

778
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,360
Speaker 7: now it looks like sloppy football because if you start

779
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 7: on the fifty or the forty five, most kickers saying hey,

780
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 7: get it to the other guys thirty, I'm you in

781
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:57,439
Speaker 7: the house them kickers, y'all.

782
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 4: Love, what are you looking at me for? Ever said

783
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 4: anything about pictures?

784
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 6: But I know a lot of a lot of teams

785
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 6: also are just building their teams for other teams.

786
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean they know, they know each other so well.

787
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 6: Now it's like they are getting personnel to be able

788
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 6: to combat in their division, in their division. Right, so

789
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 6: you might someone and get whooped outside of division, they

790
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 6: come back and they tie their division.

791

800
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 3: we talked about parody. How do you find consistency? How

801
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 3: do you find consistency and how do you build on

802
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 3: it so that you can take being two three and

803
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,400

824
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 4: All Right, fellas, go in to the break. We posed

825
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 4: a question for you guys.

826
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 3: We talked about a week to week league in the

827
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 3: third segment, the NFL is right now when it's so

828
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 3: weak to week, when things can change on a time.

829
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 4: How do you find consistency? Anthony will start with you.

830
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 6: Oh, I feel like consistency starts at practice. Like you

831
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 6: have to find it in your daily routine, you know

832
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 6: what I mean, Like in the things that you do

833
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 6: on a day to day basis in the locker room,

834
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 6: out of the locker room, in the weight room, on

835
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 6: the on the practice field, like you gotta be the

836
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 6: same person. Like it starts with there, and once you

837
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 6: kind of started doing that, it kind of trickles along.

838
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 5: Throughout your life.

839
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 8: I feel like the Rangers get Okay, that's that's what

840
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:38,760
Speaker 8: I'm actually gonna use a baseball because when when Bruce

841
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 8: Bochi was here, he was like he was very high

842
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 8: on confidence. And for athletes, I think confidence is such

843
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 8: a big such a big deal, and but you can't

844
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 8: gain confidence going into it. Going man, this is the

845
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 8: most complex thing you've ever seen. Good luck Start small, right,

846
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 8: And we were talking kind of talking about that a

847
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 8: minute ago. Start small with the streamline and the offense,

848
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 8: the defense a little bit, whatever it is. And then

849
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 8: add a little bit here, add a little bit there.

850
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 8: Once these guys start believing there, oh man, I'm unbeatable.

851
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:06,359
Speaker 5: I can do this.

852
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 8: Yeah, and then you start you continue to stack that

853
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,279
Speaker 8: up a little bit. But I think that's that is

854
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 8: you got to confidence is the important part for consistency

855
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 8: because you got to do the small things first and

856
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 8: then you can do more complex things.

857
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 5: Yeah.

858
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 7: I agree with all of that. You can't add more

859
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,359
Speaker 7: to what these two gentlemen said. I mean, you just

860
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:27,919
Speaker 7: have the routine I tell every kid, you know, get

861
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 7: up in the morning, stretch, think about what you've done

862
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 7: the day before, whether it was good or bad.

863
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 5: Get rid of the bad if you can, or improve

864
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,280
Speaker 5: on the bad. I enhance your goodness.

865
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 7: Just be consistent in who you are, you know, and

866
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 7: that and that's what I think Coach Schottenheimer is trying

867
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:47,240
Speaker 7: to do. He's trying to be consistent and what he's doing,

868
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 7: what he's preaching. But we've seen it offensively. But he's

869
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 7: the master over all of this. He is to coordinate

870
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 7: over the offense any defense, So he's gonna be irresponsible

871
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 7: for his defense. He's got to find a way him

872
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 7: and coach Eva Flues to get guys like you say,

873
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 7: believe it in the little things, doing the extra. This

874
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:12,280
Speaker 7: is not college. You don't have no classes. Your wife,

875
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:13,720
Speaker 7: your kids, and everybody got.

876
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 5: Understand this is how I eat.

877
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:18,840
Speaker 7: Let me get this going for this next two or

878
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 7: three months and we'll do go party, we'll go vacation wherever.

879
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 7: But right now we need you. Daddy needs to work.

880
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 7: Daddy got blue off the line twenty yards. Daddy needs

881
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:31,280
Speaker 7: to work.

882
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.

883
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 3: Some tough at home conversations going on insight.

884
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:40,359
Speaker 5: Not tonight. Baby, Dad's got to work.

885
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:42,879
Speaker 8: Film work, extra, film work.

886
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 5: Yeah.

887
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 4: I can't even transition from that.

888
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:51,720
Speaker 3: So the Cowboys have Washington coming up this week, Anthony,

889
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 3: do you remember any games or players that you went

890
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:57,720
Speaker 3: against and your playing days that stood out from them?

891
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 6: For Washington, U, I mean we played them twice a

892
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 6: year and RG I remember Clinton Portis was there. Nice nice, Yeah, coolies.

893
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 6: He had a good tight end. They've always had. They've

894
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 6: always had a good offense. I'd say they always had

895
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 6: someone that scores touchdown.

896
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, well they've got another one this year and Jaden Daniels,

897
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 3: the second year quarterback.

898
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 4: They got the third best.

899
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 3: Rushing offense in the league, and you think about this

900
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 3: Dallas defense so far because they oh no.

901
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 5: Oh no.

902
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 3: But when you look back to last year Dallas did

903
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:35,479
Speaker 3: I think, and you guys correct me if I'm wrong,

904
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 3: one of the better jobs defensively and kind of limiting

905
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 3: his game. How do they find that same success when

906
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:42,880
Speaker 3: they're having the defensive struggles they are.

907
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 6: I feel like just the fact that they're playing against Washington,

908
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 6: like when they never played New York, they played Washington,

909
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 6: they played the Eagles. They're going to play you know.

910
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 6: I mean, it's just like how everybody gets up for

911
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 6: the Cowboys, like everybody's going to give the Cowboys a

912
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 6: good game because they're the Cowboys. And I feel the

913
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:01,880
Speaker 6: same way with the Cowboys inside of their division because

914
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 6: it all like for a long time, the everything went

915
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 6: through the East, so it was like that was the passageway.

916
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:13,359
Speaker 6: So I feel like they're gonna they're gonna brain their

917
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 6: a game just because of the way that they lost,

918
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 6: and even like when I'll be watching the Cowboys now,

919
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 6: like I feel like it's the change, some change is

920
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,439
Speaker 6: starting to happen, just because of the way the fight

921
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 6: that they have, like they I feel like they know

922
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 6: that they're outmanned or they know that they're not the

923
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 6: oh like the top dog as they have been in

924
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 6: the past. So it's like they're trying to prove themselves.

925
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 6: And I feel like that's very very important for especially

926
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 6: the defense that they have now, Like are guys that

927
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 6: really don't you don't know any of them, So it's like,

928
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 6: you have this opportunity to be known, and you have

929
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 6: this the field and these play all you gotta do

930
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 6: is make plays, and like that's what that's what.

931
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 5: You grow up as a kid wanted to do.

932
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,760
Speaker 6: And I feel like the opportunity at the Cowboys defense

933
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 6: has right now, it's like wide open for superstars to happen,

934
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 6: you know what I mean.

935
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 5: But they have to want that and believe that they

936
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:06,359
Speaker 5: can be that, you know I.

937
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 6: Mean, But that's it's a long process.

938
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 8: I can't wait for the rest of this team to

939
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:17,359
Speaker 8: play with the mentality that I see Dak playing with

940
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 8: right now. Dak looked from Game one this year, he's

941
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 8: just looked more confident. He has this different swagger. I

942
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:26,919
Speaker 8: mean the spit moment against Philadelphia, that was a moment

943
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 8: right there where he knew he just I got you.

944
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:30,879
Speaker 8: I just I just I got you out of the game.

945
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 8: I just did that. And he just has this confidence,

946
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 8: and I'm I can't wait for the rest of the

947
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 8: group to have that same kind of vibe, because going in,

948
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 8: going to having Washington on your plate is you gotta

949
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 8: you know, you got a tough, a tough defense that

950
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 8: you gotta handle because they're gonna bring it at you.

951
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 8: But on the other side of the ball too, you know,

952
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:52,319
Speaker 8: their offense can be explosive. Now, Jerry told us last

953
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 8: year the Kingsbury's offense is kind of predictable, and I

954
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 8: was like, I'm sorry, I gotta this hold on what

955
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 8: and but then the Cowboys went out and stopped him,

956
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 8: and so I was like, Okay, this is pretty impressive.

957
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 8: But the I want to see, uh do we know

958
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:05,280
Speaker 8: the help.

959
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:08,280
Speaker 3: Of McLaurin yet was limited today in practice, our first

960
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 3: time he's practiced.

961
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:10,400
Speaker 4: I think in a couple of weeks. He's missed the

962
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 4: last three games.

963
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 8: Okay, all right, that's that's one right there. That dude

964
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:16,879
Speaker 8: right there can burn, man, he can absolutely burn, yes,

965
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 8: But but this could it's still gonna be one of

966
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 8: those battles.

967
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 5: You know, you guys know right well, you always have

968
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:22,799
Speaker 5: to play the game.

969
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 6: That's what I love about football, Like you can be

970
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 6: better than whoever you on paper, like everybody you can

971
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 6: say whatever on paper, but when the game has actually

972
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 6: been played, like you don't know what's going through anybody's mind,

973
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 6: Like everybody has to show up. You gotta be you

974
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 6: gotta be there every day.

975
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 5: So that's agree.

976
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:42,840
Speaker 3: And you know, I think it's interesting you mentioned that

977
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 3: the Cowboys are a team that everybody kind of gets

978
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 3: up for, right for sure?

979
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,439
Speaker 4: Player a game was as a player for you and Nate,

980
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 4: does it like, come on, they costed it?

981
00:53:55,600 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 7: Did you say thanks many, thanks, Bob Lily, Yeah, point there?

982
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 4: What's it like?

983
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,320
Speaker 3: You know that is obviously that I can only imagine

984
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 3: how taxing that is when you have sixteen straight games,

985
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 3: seventeen straight games of man, we're just getting everybody's best shot.

986
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 4: Does it make the wins that much sweeter?

987
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,759
Speaker 5: I believe so, yes, Because.

988
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:22,799
Speaker 6: Everybody talks about the Cowboys when they win or when

989
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 6: they lose, But when we're winning, it's a lot positive,

990
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:29,879
Speaker 6: Like everybody wants to hear the positive stuff, but it's

991
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,280
Speaker 6: it makes the journey throughout the season funner.

992
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean when whenning is fun, is fun when

993
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:37,760
Speaker 5: it is funny.

994
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 8: But everybody, everybody knows that if they have the interception

995
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 8: or the sack or whatever against the Cowboys, they're gonna

996
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 8: be on Sports Center all week because every topic is

997
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 8: gonna be the Cowboy Cowboys.

998
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 6: And I feel like that's very important for the Cowboys

999
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 6: players to know too, because if they're the ones making

1000
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:55,520
Speaker 6: those plays and doing it out and doing that, like,

1001
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 6: they could be the ones being talked about as well.

1002
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 3: So well, Anthony will close with this, you know, well,

1003
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 3: to keep it on these Cowboys. We mentioned you're playing

1004
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:05,279
Speaker 3: days with Tony when he was playing some of his

1005
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 3: best football.

1006
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 4: How did the capitalize?

1007
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 3: How did the Cowboys capitalize on the way Dak Prescott's

1008
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:10,839
Speaker 3: playing right now?

1009
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,319
Speaker 6: Got to win the turnover battle, man, Just get get

1010
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 6: them the ball one two times throughout the game, get

1011
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 6: a field goal when they're put when they're about to

1012
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 6: score a touchdown, Like just show up one two plays.

1013
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 6: That's really all it takes, you know, I mean, like

1014
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 6: one two plays throughout the game. With the defense makes

1015
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 6: a play, it could turn the whole game around.

1016
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:34,640
Speaker 8: But only a field goal to win it, right, They like,

1017
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 8: I'm gonna.

1018
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 5: Go to tide to keep it going. He'll go to

1019
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:43,360
Speaker 5: win it and close it out. If you're doing anything else,

1020
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 5: there's a waste of time.

1021
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 4: Well, we've got our kicker, yea with us tonight.
