Now your hosts Barry Church, Danny mccraig, and 5 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: Newie Scrugs. All right, here we go, short week for 6 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. Get ready technical the Philadelphia Eagles on 7 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 1: Saturday night. I'm new he scrugs. Welcome to the Players 8 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: Lounge and the players are Barry Church. Did we lose Newie? Oh? 9 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: I thought that was me. Get the Rookie of the 10 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,319 Speaker 1: year Defensively, Michael Parsons to be playing in this game, 11 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: he's got COVID. Your thoughts, Yeah, this is a tough one, man. 12 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: This is a tough one because you know we do that. 13 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: You know, Dan Quinn has been he's been great out there, 14 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: and he's getting the most side of all his players, 15 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: you know, d Law, Gregory Aldo, he's been getting the 16 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: most out of everybody, and they've been playing great as 17 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: a whole unit. But when you take away arguably the 18 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: best player, not only on defense, maybe even the team 19 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: this year, you know you're gonna take a dip right there. 20 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: You're gonna take a little dip. So I'm glad it's 21 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: not a not a like a you know, like an 22 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: injury or he's like a torn acl or something like 23 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: that to where he's out the whole playoffs. Hopefully we're 24 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: able to get him badly a knock gonna would. Hopefully 25 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: we're able to get him back before this playoff run. 26 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: But this is gonna hurt. This is gonna hurt because 27 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: anytime you lose your best player or your best option, 28 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: whether it's defense offensively, it don't matter. You're gonna take 29 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: a little dip in production out there. Now. Hopefully you know, 30 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 1: Gregory d Law or Dzu of those guys who on 31 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: the defensive line can step their game up. I'm not sure. 32 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: Do we get keano'neil back? Yes, yeah, I get so 33 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: hopefully he's able to go in there and use or 34 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: take you know, Parson spot at that linebacker. But it 35 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: took that dude is a playmaker like it, no matter 36 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: where you put him on the field, whether he's covering 37 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: receivers up the scene, running backs out of the backfield, 38 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: or just applying that pressure on quarter backs. He's a 39 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: three twol player. He can do it all So, like 40 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: I said, when you when you got a guy like 41 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: that that's not gonna be there, your defense is gonna 42 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: take a little dip. Yeah, I'm gonna say this blessing 43 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: in this guys do not have to worry about Michael 44 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: Parsons missing the first playoff game of his career. We 45 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: do not have to worry about that, all right, So 46 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna put the onus now on Dan Quinn to 47 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: get guys like Randy Gregory, Tank, Oh Digiz with Keian 48 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,959 Speaker 1: Oneil Laden vanderis, Like, we still have guys to play 49 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: against the Philadelphia Eagles, who who who also might not 50 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: even be playing most of them starts right, they're missing 51 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: some guys and then some other guys might not play. 52 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: So this is this is the week, right, this is 53 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 1: the week. And like I talked about saying, man, look 54 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: if if we're going to go out there and play, 55 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 1: you might see guys like Tank maybe not play the 56 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: whole game. In my mind, I'm saying, shit, you know, Parsons, Parsons, Zeke, 57 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: you know that there might be some guys who might 58 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: not see that much playing time. And I won't even 59 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: have to worry about it. Okay, well, you know for 60 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: sure is Parson's gonna miss this game and he's gonna 61 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: be ready to go the week after that. So it's 62 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: gonna be a big loss. But I think dan Quinn 63 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: going up against the Eagles, who are missing a lot 64 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: of guys, can handle this situation and still come out 65 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: with a good defensive performance and we and keep Michael 66 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: Parsons ready for next week. So big, big loss, but 67 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: I think we should be able to handle it. Okay, 68 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: one player that I look at, I think that, you 69 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: know what this this this could be good for them. 70 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: As you guys know, going to a free agency, you're 71 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: trying to put good, good, good tape out there, and 72 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: that's Lake Vanderashum Lake vandersh this season it looks nothing 73 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: like the first round pick who went to the Pro Bowl, 74 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: and he's a free agent after this season. So, uh, 75 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: some good tape against a team that has shown that 76 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: they're running the football very well. This could be I 77 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: think we lost you back the week we lost your 78 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: last the last little bit of little piece of Oh yeah, 79 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: I would say this. Late Venders, who he did not mentioned, 80 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: actually played a pretty good game against Arizona. Layton vanders 81 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: got out there, he made some plays when he had 82 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: the opportunity too. So yes, two games back to back 83 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: of him showing that he can still get it done 84 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: at that linebacker position would would be great for him 85 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: going into this year. It'd be great and what he 86 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: needs to do, and he needs to get back into 87 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: that that splash play like when we saw him his 88 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: rookie year. I'm like, man, they better signed this dude quick, 89 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: because this dude is unbelievable. But what he was able 90 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: to do was he was making whether it's sack force fumbles, 91 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: scooping up stuff, intercepted, he was making those splash plays, 92 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: those plays that make you really remember what his impact 93 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: was on the game. We just haven't seen that from 94 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: him this year. I mean, he's had a solid season. 95 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: You know, he's been racking up some tackles him here 96 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: and there, but he just hasn't made those plays that 97 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: make you stick out. And now with you know Parsons, 98 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: you know, out with Covid for this week, I think 99 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: he'll be thrust into that role world. He'll be that 100 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: dime linebacker out there. He'll be the guy that doesn't 101 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: leave the field and gets everybody lined up. So hopefully 102 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: he can take advantage of it and make some plays 103 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: from himself. This is why Jayles Smith was out there swipe. Okay, 104 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: because Jayles Smith was out there swiping to let you 105 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: know that he had made a play. We have not 106 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 1: seen lady Vanders how all this year. He hasn't howled 107 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: at all. But the unfortunate part about it is he 108 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: has made some plays in season, and we would have 109 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: been able to see that and put a little bit, 110 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: a little bit more notoriety on it had he done 111 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: his celebration after the place up Layton. Let me tell 112 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: you something, man, don't shy away from doing your move. 113 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: Celebrate the right way and let them know it was 114 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: you out there. Calls in that player, all right, Michael 115 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: Parkson's is out you coming out here? The wolf hunner 116 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: is here, all right. Let us know that you out 117 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: there making the places because I want to see you 118 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: have success in your career. Canny Canny still do it? 119 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: Oh yeah. I mean from what I've seen him be 120 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: able to do this season in spot play and then 121 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: how he played against Arizona, I think there is a 122 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: role for him. There's still a role for Jayles Smith 123 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: out there in New York. You still have a role 124 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: for Lady Vanderess as well. What about next season? No, No, 125 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 1: I mean unless you unless, unless you know you can 126 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 1: hit you with the not the minimum, but nothing, something 127 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: super team friendly, um that will bring him back. I mean, 128 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 1: you know, I just think that you can draft a 129 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: guy in that position, and from what we've seen lv 130 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: Ed's past two years, you could draft a guy to 131 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: get that same type of production. Now if he was 132 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: bawling like his rookie year these past three years, and 133 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: I'd be like, hey, shign the man up. You got 134 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: you gotta pick him up. But we've just seen that production. 135 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: We've seen the splash players take a dip, take a decline, 136 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 1: and I don't think he warrants a big time deal. 137 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: You know, maybe like a one year prove it type deal. 138 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: But you know, I personally I would draft somebody, especially 139 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: if if Layton wants a multi year deal. Yeah, listen, 140 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: like you said, approve a deal, one year deal, something 141 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: something small that doesn't really hurt you with a lot 142 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: of cap space. The only thing I would say is 143 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: you need a guy like Layton Vanderiss on your squad. 144 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: As we've seen, when you start playing these running teams, 145 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: and in our division, Philly is going to be a 146 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: running team. Washington is most likely going to be a 147 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: running team. We're not sure what New York is, but 148 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: they do have Sequan back there and they usually resort 149 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: to trying to run it with either Danny Danny down too. 150 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: They said they're bringing back with Joe Judge or say 151 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 1: Quon Barkley. So you know that you're gonna have at 152 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: least five of the six games where you're playing against 153 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: teams that specialize in running the football, So you need 154 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: a guy who's able to play that line breaker. And 155 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: it goes down to where you prioritize this guy, Like 156 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: we got a little lot of free agents defensively, I 157 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: mean you got some guys in the secondary, got you know, 158 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: Keano Neils, some guys in the lineback and corps, and 159 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: definitely guys along that defensive line. So I think it 160 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: comes down to whether Pam vander Esh or not is 161 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: where do you prioritize him. You see him being as 162 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: that main guy that you can't have a defense without him, 163 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: like a cornerstone piece, then yeah, you gotta pay the man. 164 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: But if you feel as though you can, he's a 165 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: guy that. Yeah, you know, he's contributing well to our team, 166 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: but he's not really the difference maker. Then I have 167 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: to say, let him go. You know, Randy Gregory's first, Okay, 168 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: he gotta get back. You got curse, You got curse 169 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: probably right right right under that. You gotta figure out. 170 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: I'm not sure about the other three agents on the 171 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: defensive line, but you know he's not top two Dan. 172 00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: That's just on the defense. So you know he's not 173 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: top to him defense. So I'm sure Will McClay and 174 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: then those guys they'll they'll they'll find out what they 175 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: want to do with him after the season, and like 176 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: I said, hopefully there's somewhere where there's a fit for 177 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: him because he can steal ball. Yeah, yeah, Vanderesh if 178 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: you don't bring him back on his second contract, having 179 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: been a first round draft pick and he was a 180 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: preferred player, right Marionelle Marinelli had had talked about shade 181 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: of er Lacker that he saw in Vanderesh. He did 182 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: make a Pro Bowl, but right now, as we're talking 183 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: about towards the end, you know, he's good player, not 184 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: a cornerstone player necessarily. The way you're talking about forty 185 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: second year contract, and clearly the best linebacker on this 186 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: football team is Michael Parson. So how do you view 187 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: his time with the Cowboys. Listen, I'm gonna say that 188 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: it was It's kind of in the middle of the road. 189 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna give him an A, you know, because 190 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: Louis Louis liked to give out a so i'd probably 191 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: give him. I'd probably give him like a B minus. 192 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 1: He had a really really good season when him and 193 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: Jayalen had first gotten together and we were like, hey, 194 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: this is the linebacker and them that is going to 195 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: carry the Cowboys throughout the next few years on their defense. 196 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: And then it kind of fell off. So he did 197 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: make the Pro Bowl, so you have to give him 198 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: some some some props for that. And he's also been 199 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: able to carve out a niche position here when everything 200 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: was changing on defense right there, we go out and 201 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: we draft almost all defensive players, and Layton vendor still 202 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: finds a way to still be that guy that's here 203 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: in the locker room and actually getting some playing time 204 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: and playing well. So I'm still I'm gonna give him 205 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: a B minus. Uh. Because of that, and mostly because 206 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: he had those injuries and you're not really sure. So 207 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: once you start missing time and kind of knocks you 208 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,719 Speaker 1: a little bit. But he still deserves to be to 209 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: be up there and the bees. For me, yeah, I'm 210 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 1: gonna say, I'm gonna either Ben or c plus will 211 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: you be giving out some seeds? Because degrees man? Because 212 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: he started off so it reminds me of Bruce Carter 213 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: when we was here, but kind of the opposite. You 214 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,359 Speaker 1: know how Bruce Carter started off slow, he had the injuries, 215 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: was fighting for playing time, and then by his last 216 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: year he had like five or picks and he was 217 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: bawling and he ended up getting this block and punts. 218 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: He ended up getting a big deal out in Tampa Bay, 219 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: I think. But it's kind of like that with with 220 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: Bruce Carter where and lvee where, you know, except ever 221 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: he started off as fast at all, had Pro Bowl Wolf, 222 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: he who getting all over the place. What he anyway, 223 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: But to me there there's similar tracks, And look, Lvie, 224 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: he's done a good job here, he's done a good job. 225 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: He warrants getting paid maybe somewhere else, but overall I'm 226 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: giving him. He went to the Pro Bowl. He did 227 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: something I could never do. He went to the Pro Bowl. 228 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: So I gotta give him that Lisa B. Rod Man 229 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: and Ellie's time. He has defensive coordinator and three players 230 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: that that rod really um they went to and he 231 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: advocated for uh Tristan Hill, Layton Van Dash and Taco 232 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 1: Charlton Um Layton Vanderash. You know, he gave the Cowboys something. 233 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: He's he's a I think he's a B when you 234 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: think about his career. Obviously because of the injuries. I 235 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: don't think you can give him a multi year contract. 236 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: It would have to be something that's very team friendly 237 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: if you brought him back. But this is how the 238 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: NFL goes. But they got something out of him. He 239 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: was a starting football player. Taco Charlton just never gave 240 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: you anything as as a football player here, and especially 241 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: when you look at the fact that they passed on 242 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: t J Wat to get Tacco, and then you look 243 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: at Tristan Hill, who's been a spot player instead of 244 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: Hill and in one or when he'll playing on it 245 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: as a starter for a World championship Kansas City Chiefs team. 246 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: So I look at lat vander as definitely as a 247 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: B player because he did make some contributions. Yasmin starting. 248 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: Let me tell you this, the newis out lists. I'm 249 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: gonna be real with you. Okay, at the gay that 250 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: aout yesterday, we're gonna we're gonna put your numbers on it. 251 00:11:50,640 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 1: You'll let us on a curve. On the cur for 252 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 1: as to class, you get exemplary, you got a sticker, 253 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: let me get a sticker, had a good day to 254 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: day they was getting out the gentleman, gentleman, as I said, 255 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: this was for at this time, Okay, at that time, 256 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 1: I still have not given my final grade. Okay, just 257 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: you know, we have yet to get to the final exam. Okay, 258 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: you know how much you know how much put emphasis 259 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: you put on that final exam. The final exam for 260 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy is going to be the playoffs. And I 261 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: put a lot of weight into the final. So this 262 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: a could very much go down to a beat. It 263 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: could end up as a seat because Mike McCarthy was 264 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: brought in here to be better than Jason Garrett, and 265 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: right now has he done anything that's necessarily better than 266 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: what Jason Garrett did? Not yet, not yet, So this 267 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: aide could get change. All right, Yeah, there's more work 268 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: to do, gentlemen, got a hand's not in. He listen, 269 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: he got a drive into the playoffs before he talked 270 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: about not yet. Okay, so what was this grade? His 271 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: his his first year is the Dallas Cowboys head coach 272 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: from you? Was it c D for me? I gave 273 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: it a failure? Gave it. Oh so he's probably sitting 274 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: somewhere like a C, like a C plus right now 275 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: over two years. Have you average about this aide that 276 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: you gave in that in that failure? Okay, just check it, okay, Yeah, Yeah, 277 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 1: the Mike Nolan thing sold me. That sound that night, 278 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: Mike Knowling thing was just terrible. It's unforgivable. Yeah it was. 279 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: It was ugly. I mean, you think about how you 280 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: messed up. Really, you messed up the career of vander 281 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: esh Smith. That was a wasted year. Put these guys 282 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: in places they did want to be. You got guys 283 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: out there who said, you know, look, man, I don't 284 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: like this defense. Um. Then he had guys like Javie 285 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,959 Speaker 1: Woods running around at that I can't go out the 286 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: whole time house of Tobaccle. I mean this was McCarthy's guy. Yeah, 287 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: you almost got Jordan Lewis and Anthony Brown released. We 288 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: were sitting over here like super down on these dudes, like, 289 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: ain't no way they could play. We're sitting here looking 290 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: at the tank like as he hurts, yeah, right, Like 291 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: everything that Mike Nolan did was was incorrect. And and 292 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: like I said, Mike, Mike McCarthy, that's his guy. We 293 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: know for sure. We know for sure man, Mike McCarthy 294 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: brought it in Mike Nolan. Like we don't know about 295 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: the Dad Quinn and how that happened with with Jerry 296 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: and all of them. We know for sure that he 297 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: brought it Brandon, Mike Nolan. So I don't think if 298 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: if Nolan had the off season like like like Quinn had, 299 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: y'all think that would have been a little bit better. Nope, 300 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: not even a training camp. And I don't duty I 301 00:14:53,840 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: don't just killing him killing Nolan out here. Tell you both. 302 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: Sponsor wasn't good last year. Okay, the special teams last 303 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: year was not good, you know, calling them fake pumps 304 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: inside the you know, inside the thirty yard line, and 305 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: I mean it was it was a winnable division. Now 306 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: the Cowboys couldn't win that and the off season program 307 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: they talked about how you know they didn't make the 308 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: proper adjustments in dealing with m zooms Um. McCarthy's given 309 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: credit to dan Quinn and what dan quinn and what 310 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: they were doing in Atlanta and utilize some of that 311 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: to make an offseason program better. But I'm sorry this 312 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: whole first year, I gave that a big old flat 313 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: f Jerry Jones said, you know, give him a mulligan. 314 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: But I find dan Quinn's six and I mean I 315 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: find Mike McCarthy six and ten season a failure because 316 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: there was just nothing that went on there that I 317 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: agreed with. I'm sorry that. So yeah, I gave him 318 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: a so far, but believe me, man, the final game 319 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: is going to be what he does in the playoffs. 320 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: And I think we're all in agreement there. You know, 321 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: this is a team that can't sit up here have 322 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: a home game, especially if you gotta play Arizona again 323 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: and get bounced. That simply can't happen. That would not 324 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: be acceptable here. Did I'd be down right, man. I 325 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: don't want to say it'd be a complete failure, but 326 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: that would be that would be bad if we if 327 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: one and done. After all this we've been hearing about 328 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: the offense being all this, and you know the defense 329 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: is on his way back, and Quinn and more, and 330 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: if we're just going there and then one and done, 331 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: and let's just say it's to the Eagles. We ain't 332 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: gonna hear the end of it. Let me tell you 333 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: some let me tell you why it's a failure. I'll 334 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: tell you if you go out there and you get 335 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: one and done by whoever it is, right, you bring 336 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: in Mike McCarthy, go six and ten. The first year, 337 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: you give him a mother again. The second year you 338 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: come in. You give him everything that he said he needed. Right, 339 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: you got whatever you got to tackles, even though they 340 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: weren't healthy the whole year, but you got t tackles. 341 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: You've paid a running back ninety million dollars. He's being underutilized. 342 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: You paid a run a receiver one hundred million dollars. 343 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: He being under utilized. So you're not even using your 344 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: tools offensively because you're the offensive coach to the maximum 345 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: potential that they that they and half right, and then 346 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: you go out there you get bounced out in the 347 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: first round because of it. That come on, man, that's 348 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: a failure. Is even going more tough that head because 349 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: the same props that we gave Mike McCarthy for forgetting 350 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: this team to eleven wins, will be the same detriment. 351 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: If he loses in the first round of the playoffs. 352 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: We would have to knock him the same way that 353 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: we gave him those problems, because he is the head guy, 354 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: all right, and I still have my stuff to set 355 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: about if he decides not to run the ball. So so, 356 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: Professor Danny, right now, going into the final game, you've 357 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: given Mike McCarthy a beat. Be. So if we get 358 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: to the exam, the major, the major exam of the playoffs, 359 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: and he doesn't perform and they go out, is your 360 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: grade going down? Listen, I'm not gonna lie to you. 361 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: The way I'm looking at it is I'm thinking that 362 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: I'm giving him the grade on the season, and his 363 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: grade on the season is a beat because what we 364 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 1: said was we were trying to figure out how many 365 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 1: games they were going to win during the regular season. 366 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: He said eleven. I'm gonna give him a be for that. 367 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: It wasn't as pretty asas I thought he was gonna be. 368 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: His performance in the playoffs are separate. That might be 369 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: another exam. So this might be the first exam the season, 370 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: the second exam of the playoffs, and I might average 371 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: the two. You get knocked out in the first round. 372 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 1: You got an F, all right, And so all of 373 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: a sudden you'll be got knocked out to a C 374 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 1: minus and you'll be coming in and get some extra 375 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: extra studying and begging the professor to pass you and 376 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,199 Speaker 1: give you your degree. It's just like where I was 377 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 1: out from the beginning. But I see, all right, because 378 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: a look bad. My man did not was not instrumental 379 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: on the turnaround of this defense. It was Dan Quinn. 380 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: And I think we all know that, all right. My 381 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: man was probably on the offensive side of the football 382 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: the entire training camp. Dan Quinn had his hat on backwards, 383 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: was out there doing them a hundred yard walks. Knew 384 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: his song with Michael Parsons, just chopping it up, thinking 385 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 1: how are we gonna make you the best player possible? 386 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: And he did that. He did that, and it was 387 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: not because of Mike. Mike McCarthy did was. He hired him. 388 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 1: He had him to come. So I'll give you quick 389 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: not sure, Yeah, we don't even know if that's the case, 390 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: but not sure. I'm gonna go ahead and give him 391 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: parts for bringing n dqan and offensively. All the beginning 392 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 1: of the season, all we was talking about was boy 393 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,640 Speaker 1: genius Kellen Moore and his creativity and how he's doing 394 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: making his offense one of the best offenses around the league. 395 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 1: There was no you know, McCarthy had anything to do 396 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: with this. It was all Kelly Moore. He was praising 397 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 1: Keller Moore. So I can't get a man to see 398 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,959 Speaker 1: he eid a good job of managing the team, switching 399 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,360 Speaker 1: to culture a little bit and making sure that you know, hey, 400 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: we're focusing on the task at hand type deal. He 401 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: did a good job of doing that, So I get 402 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: him to Sea. But the other parts, man, I gotta 403 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: give the credit where credits due. I'm gonna keep We're 404 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: talking about this later. We gotta talk about running the ball. 405 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 1: I'm just I need to go down the list of 406 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: good teams in the league. So so for you Church, 407 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: if it's a one and done in the playoffs, does 408 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 1: the Sea change or you're gonna keep it there. I'm 409 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 1: gonna keep it therese see to me, I don't. I 410 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: didn't think we had like I know, we played well, 411 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 1: but I'm the one that bel that we've been feasting 412 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: on terrible teams. So I don't have these expectation of 413 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 1: us making it long in the playoffs. Gonna be honest, 414 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be if we go, if we 415 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: come across an Arizona or in La even the forty 416 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: nine in that first round, I think we're gonna be 417 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: one and done. But so to me, my my letter 418 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 1: grade is not gonna change. I'm just blame had a 419 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: solid season, got to the playoffs. You know, Dad Quinn 420 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: turn the defensive rounds, but you know he see the solid. Yeah, 421 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 1: let me take something. If you don't make it this year, 422 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 1: you ain't gonna make it. I'm going to tell you, 423 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: if you can't make a deep playoff run this year, 424 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: you're not going to Like this is probably the best 425 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 1: that the defense is gonna play, right because you are 426 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: what you know, Like, I know next year, you after that, 427 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: you're not gonna have the same team. Now, you're not 428 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: gonna have the same collective group of guys. You might 429 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: not even have Randy Gregory, you know what I'm saying. 430 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: So this is this is your your coordinating Yes, this 431 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: is yeah, you might not have a coordinate. This is 432 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 1: your chance right now to make that run. And if 433 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: you can't make it with the squad that you have 434 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: right now, Zeke is all of a sudden looking healthier 435 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: than he was. You got Tony Paula with the thunder 436 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: and lightning. You got that who you paid forty He's 437 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: healthy this year. You got the r Cooper, you got 438 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: Cedee Lamb. You have enough. You got Tyren Smith gonna 439 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: be healthy. You got Leo Collins, you got Zach Martin. 440 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 1: You have enough. You do not have a reason or 441 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 1: excuse to say that another team has more talent than 442 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: you and has more potential than you going into any game. 443 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: You know what they're gonna do. Man, what we had 444 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: to face two teams out there, cardinals and arrests.

You know 446 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: what you're gonna be facing three because the media goes down, 447 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 1: he's gonna be It's gonna be three teams. I don't 448 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: hear nothing about that. And if you don't get messed 449 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 1: over like the Saints got messed over and I don't 450 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: want to hit them about no referee, it has to 451 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: be as blatant as that, bro.

That is 453 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,199 Speaker 1: when I'm looking at it and I'm saying, that is 454 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,479 Speaker 1: absolute garbage. They definitely got They should have got sixty 455 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: calls from New York like, hey, y'all got stopped the 456 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: game right now.

I did 518 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: not know how many guys that were like, we ain't 519 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: playing in this game. They couldn't start Nusmeric because they 520 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: didn't want to mess up his red shirt year. We 521 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: looked like the Denver Broncos laying like it was. And 522 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: I turned on the TV and I'm like, I didn't 523 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 1: even think about how I was thinking about the game. 524 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: And I see Brian Kelly upstairs like doing with the commentators. 525 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, he need coaching. Like we don't have 526 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: a quarterback, Like we don't have a defense like our 527 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: Corey Raymond or defensive back coaches in Florida. You know, 528 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: we don't have anybody like they are in the process 529 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 1: of literally redoing the whole organization. They didn't let go 530 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: all the recruiting people, like everything is gone, and then 531 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: you got the receiver out there playing running back, I 532 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: mean quarterback. And I was like, man, I bet some 533 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 1: people on that day too, man, but why would why 534 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: do they even make that team line up? Man? You 535 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 1: like they down all these players. They ain't got no coach. Well, 536 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, what are you're supposed to do 537 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 1: about the seniors though? You know what I'm saying, Like 538 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 1: some of those kids last and some of those kids 539 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: they might be sophomores or whatever, and they're trying to 540 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: put that that film on tape for Brian Killer when 541 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: he comes in because none of those are his guys, right, 542 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 1: So you still got to go out there and prove 543 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 1: you could play. But Wade Wade underhand. They shout out 544 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: to Kansas State. They were off there celebrating stuff. I'm 545 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: looking at the game, I'm like, all right, y'all winning. 546 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't really, I don't really have anything 547 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: to say about. We got thumped, But I've never seen 548 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: us have to put out those type of walk ons 549 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: and freshman's and quarterbacks as receivers out there. It was 550 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: it was just a bad thing, but they had heart 551 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: they went out there and play. They went out there 552 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: and game everything they got. But put Kansas State on 553 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: our schedule during the real season. Yeah, and we'll see 554 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: what happens real quick, real quick for both y'all want 555 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: to ask both of y'all know this is way off target, 556 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: way off subject, but what do y'all think about these 557 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: new new NCAA rules as far as you know, cats 558 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 1: going into the portal being able to go anywhere they 559 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: want to and play in that same year, which'alleel about. 560 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: I love it because, like I said, the coaches are 561 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: able to do that. If you tell the coaches that 562 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 1: they have to stay out and play the contract, then 563 00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 1: you then you're able to in my mind, to tell 564 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 1: the play is that they should have to do the 565 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: same thing. But when you have these coaches sneaking out 566 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: in private jets in the middle of the night after 567 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: the first year, saying in the contract and they promised 568 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,120 Speaker 1: these dudes, sat in these dudes living rooms with their parents, 569 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: say I'm gonna take care of your son and make 570 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 1: sure that he becomes a man and get them through 571 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: and get his degree. And then six months later you're like, 572 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: I'm out of here, duces Nah the players should be 573 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: able to do the same thing. So give them the 574 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: freedom to do that, especially if they're head coach or 575 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: one of the coaches who recruited them. Is getting out 576 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: of there because that connection, like you know, when the 577 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: guy comes to recruit you and you and you put 578 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: that faith to him, like y'all related at that point. 579 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 1: That's big bro, right there, that bro? What about you? 580 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: What you're feeling about these these transfer portals and everything. 581 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 1: Everything Danny said is one hundred percent true. And one 582 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 1: of the things that people keep forgetting is, hey man, 583 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,679 Speaker 1: they can pull your scholarship whenever they want you. And 584 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 1: if you look at Nick Saban and Dabbo Swings, just 585 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: look at the quarterbacks. So many people just overlook how 586 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: many five star quarterbacks they've had, and how many of 587 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 1: these guys end up leaving. You know, they're out here 588 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 1: all the time looking to replace you. So why are 589 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: we mad when kids sit up here and say, you know, 590 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: I want to go find something that's better for me. 591 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 1: A lot of times with these coaches don't like because 592 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: I've talked to some of them, they don't like the 593 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: fact that they basically have to keep up recruiting you. 594 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: You know that once I got buried Church here, I 595 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 1: got to make Burry church Field or maybe you know 596 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 1: a school that he wanted to play for before. They 597 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: didn't like it. They they got taped now that he said, 598 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 1: see I can play for you, And I just think 599 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 1: these coaches don't like it. I heard from someone about 600 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: the quarterback over in Oklahoma, Williams who's leaving, and this 601 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: is what this particular person said to me. You know what, 602 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: probably want to get more money because he did say 603 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: I could go back to Oklahoma. And their thought is like, 604 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,719 Speaker 1: you know, man, they want some more money and they 605 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: you know, want to go to the n IL go 606 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: get a bunch of cash. So here it is you 607 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: beat up the players, But what did the coaches do? 608 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: What Dicky Riley go do? Left them more money? I 609 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: mean it's to me on how yeah, you beat up 610 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: these kids all just get a pass. And I'm with 611 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: Danny one hundred percent on this. Now, obviously there's a 612 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: lot of kids in the portal. Man, it's a bunch 613 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: of kids is not gonna get got Yeah, there's a 614 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 1: bunch of kids who are overrating their talent um that 615 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: but that you tell me in any walk of life. 616 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: How many times do we see guys declared for the 617 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: NBA drafting they don't make it, or guys they declared 618 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: for the NFL draft and they're out there so um 619 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: going into the port and not getting got That's a 620 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: part of it. I have no issues with that at all. 621 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: And when dabbles Sweeney lines about we don't even care 622 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: about education, no more that. But when we cared about 623 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: education for these people, he ain't on top no more. 624 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: Listen and let's let's it kirk and uh, they're kirk tripping. 625 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. If I'm about to be 626 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: a first round pick, you think I'm playing in the 627 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: Texas Tax actbow whatever the like? Why why? Why? Like? 628 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: Why would I do that? And then because what have 629 00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: you seen them come and speak out? When when when 630 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: those guys gets hurt, do you see I don't know 631 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: him saying nothing? Then he gets better? Nah, give me 632 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: that ten fifteen million that I'm gonna miss out on 633 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: because I'm listening to him. You say, hey, man, I 634 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: don't love the game. So I'm gonna go out here 635 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: and prove that to you. Because if he thinks that 636 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 1: that doesn't have the effect on some of those players 637 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 1: when they trying to make that decision of like, what 638 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: is what are people going to think about me? The 639 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: people that are in the media, what are they gonna 640 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: say about me? If they think they don't have effect 641 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: on that decision that those kids are making, they are 642 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: fooling themselves. Just look at Jayalon Smith. I mean, I 643 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: dude was probably a bona fide top ten pick. Has 644 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: that terrible injury, top five pick, has that terrible injury. 645 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: He lost millions because of it. Now he was able 646 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: to come back and you know, get a nice deal 647 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 1: and make a lot of that money back. But he 648 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: missed out on millions because he played in a bowl 649 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: game that wasn't even in the college football playoff. I 650 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: think it was like the Fiesta Bowl or something that 651 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: the whole thing played it in. Boom dropped a drop 652 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: all the way to the second round.

They didn't here, well, actually Bruce didn't. 663 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: Bruce made money in Tampa. But two of those guys 664 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: got paid here by Jared real quick. Before we get off, 665 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: I know, I got us way off of a sudden. 666 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna play Devil's advocate still a little bit now 667 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 1: with this new transfer potum, do y'all think there's you know, 668 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: there'll be a lack of accountability, Like if a kid 669 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: goes to somewhere and he's like, oh, I'm not starting, 670 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: I'm not getting you know, I'm not I'm not trying 671 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: to work to get to that next spot. So I'm 672 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,239 Speaker 1: gonna just transferring, get up out of here. And then 673 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: he goes to that next spot and he's like, oh, 674 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: I'm not working here, are here, I'm just gonna keep transferring. 675 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: Do you think that has something to do with accountability? 676 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: And when those guys get to the league, if they 677 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 1: do get to the league and ain't gonna be like, 678 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: oh you you know you're here, You're not starting, So 679 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna leave because anybody gonna pick you up 680 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: after that, Well somebody somebody got, won't you? No matter, 681 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: So you can try to transfer all you want to 682 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 1: be like, man, I'm coming over the Miami the coach like, man, 683 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 1: new number? Who this like to get from the soft Lake? 684 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: You went to Ohio State early, ain't working out here, 685 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: so now he's down in Texas. I just wonder if 686 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: it's gonna have anything like accountability with these young kids. Listen, 687 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you this. Joe Burrow. Okay, it's a 688 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: guy who had to get into the transfer from Ohio 689 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 1: State to come to LSU and it worked out for him. 690 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: So when when kids are looking at these stories, they say, 691 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 1: all I have to do is find that spot. Who's 692 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: gonna give me? If you give me that shot? If 693 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 1: you if you just so happened to transfer to a 694 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: place where the dude is more talented than you and 695 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: you realize you're gonna sit there for four years and 696 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: not getting a play time. I'm trying to transfer it 697 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: like this, this is my future that we're talking about. Bro, 698 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, So you gotta do us 699 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 1: best for you in that situation. So some of them 700 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: may be accountability, but some of it maybe you really 701 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: get in there and you realize that, hey, like I 702 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: don't have a shot, there's always gonna be somebody better 703 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: than you, no matter how good you are. This this 704 00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: is what I find very interesting. We beat up athletes 705 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: for this, but we see people do this in every 706 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: walk of life. Okay, switching jobs here, going there. I mean, 707 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 1: we see that happen all the time. And then in 708 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: the sport of college football. You tell me who's not 709 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 1: moving around trying to improve their lot or find something 710 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: that works more better for them than an assistant coach. Okay, 711 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: the sistant coach always hopping around here, looking for the 712 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: bigger and better deal, looking for a better position, looking 713 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 1: for this and that. I mean, but we don't. We 714 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 1: don't beat them up. It's this thing where you want 715 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 1: to keep beating up the kid. And that's one of 716 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 1: my big issues and problems with it, especially with Kirk 717 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 1: Herbstreet and Desmond Howard jumped out there and talking about 718 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: these kids don't love football, and when did it get 719 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: to the point that if it's not a playoff game, 720 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. These are two guys. Every Tuesday spent 721 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: over ninety minutes on TV with a whole show geared 722 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: about the playoff. If you think everybody decided that the 723 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,959 Speaker 1: playoff is the only thing that matters, they weren't talking about, Hey, 724 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: let's talk about this the tax Layer Bowl, or they 725 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 1: were talking about who qualifying for the playoffs. So you 726 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 1: didn't told me that if I ain't in the playoffs, 727 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. So why should I go out here 728 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 1: and get hurt for nothing? I mean, I see, I 729 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: see Kirk Kirkstreet, right, Jayala Smith? No check when we're 730 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: starting to go for Jala Smith or Jake. But when 731 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 1: those guys got hurt, I mean, it's just very interesting 732 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 1: how these guys profit off of these kids. Then go 733 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 1: ahead slap them. Then when you put Lincoln Riley on 734 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,359 Speaker 1: the set, you don't beat Lincoln Riley up at all. 735 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,319 Speaker 1: He went to the rose Ball and nobody got on 736 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: him and said, you don't love football, you didn't love 737 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: those kids, You didn't do Oklahoma, right, They never do 738 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 1: that to those guys, man, But you beat up on 739 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,839 Speaker 1: these kids. And who were talking about when they beat 740 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 1: up on these kids all the time. Who want joy 741 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,879 Speaker 1: of these kids to play college football? We know what's 742 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: going on here. You're sitting around here and you're beating 743 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: up the black kids, trying to make it seem like 744 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 1: they ingrade that they don't like football and they just 745 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,320 Speaker 1: here for the money. And we're only really talking about 746 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 1: a very small percentage of guys. I mean, think about 747 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 1: the guys you played with, the Toledo Burry, the guys 748 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,720 Speaker 1: you played with LSU. How many people will re league transfer. 749 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 1: It's always a small number for people beat up the 750 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 1: kids to do who First of all, who cares if 751 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 1: these dudes in it for the money? I'm confused. I'm 752 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,280 Speaker 1: confused on why that matters. If I'm a great football 753 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: player and I like football, but I don't love it. 754 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:14,479 Speaker 1: But I know that I can make some money because 755 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: I'm that damn good. Who cares? I have the little 756 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 1: gamma getting here and do what I want to do. 757 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck was smart enough to say, man, the game, 758 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 1: I don't love a game like that, nub Man. I 759 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 1: got better stuff to do. If you think about it, like, 760 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 1: look how many people we've been in locker rooms? How 761 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,760 Speaker 1: many cats is in there like many, I wasn't getting 762 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 1: paid this, man, I wouldn't. I mean, it's just many 763 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 1: my self concluded if I was not good at football, 764 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 1: I would not be playing as if it was for free. 765 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:42,399 Speaker 1: Like if it was just like, oh, you went out 766 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,799 Speaker 1: there and you made you know, twenty thousand a year 767 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 1: playing for Man, you would not see a soul out there. No, man, No, 768 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 1: it's it's it's certainly guys Sean like some of those 769 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:55,359 Speaker 1: guys just like that. But it's it's not that it's 770 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,320 Speaker 1: not that common in the league where the entire team 771 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: actually loves, like love where this is my entire life. 772 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: People got other stuff they want to do, like you 773 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,720 Speaker 1: see them on commercials and investing in other stuff because 774 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 1: they have other things that they want to do. But 775 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 1: football is their avenue to be able to do the 776 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: maximize other potential. Look at if we talk about them 777 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,879 Speaker 1: aunt of time. We talk about them at the time. 778 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 1: But the guy was able to maximize this opportunity off 779 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,399 Speaker 1: the field, like y'all, he was all over the place. 780 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: I will give him credit on them because Danny, what 781 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,439 Speaker 1: you're talking about is a perception of what they tried 782 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 1: to sell you. What college football is for soul aids 783 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 1: for your school. It's because you love it. It's am right. 784 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: And in the moment you feel like somebody's not allowing 785 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 1: you to sell this bullji dream, you want to smack 786 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: them down. I mean, we talk about college athletics, but 787 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 1: now they sell them hard liquor left and right. Man 788 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,800 Speaker 1: in the game, I mean, they don't care about student athletes. 789 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 1: And you're about making cash. As long as the people 790 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,319 Speaker 1: on top are making the cash, it's fun. Once the 791 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:03,279 Speaker 1: production the people who produce everything, what's the field hands 792 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,359 Speaker 1: decide they want some of the check. Now we want 793 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,800 Speaker 1: we got a problem. But now it's about your greedy. 794 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 1: Now it's about you don't love the game. Now it's 795 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,880 Speaker 1: you don't want your education here. And and that's always 796 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 1: been this case where you let the people on top 797 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,359 Speaker 1: be on top and the people on the bottom stay there. 798 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,440 Speaker 1: At the moment they come up, smack him back down. 799 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,319 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you, I'm gonna tell you straight like this. 800 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 1: The realest thing I ever seen was Patrick Peterson came 801 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,279 Speaker 1: in there his freshman year and the dudes and the 802 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 1: coaches like, abro, you gotta go to class.

I'm not 805 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: trying to graduate from this place. What do you do? 806 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,720 Speaker 1: He was about it, about it. He ain't looked back. Okay, 807 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,919 Speaker 1: his avenue to be able to do whatever he wants 808 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 1: to do moving forward because he knew football was that 809 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,319 Speaker 1: thing for him. All right. I'm not saying he don't 810 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 1: love the game, but that's when you go to college, 811 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 1: you know that this is this is what you have 812 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: to do in order to be successful. And he did it. 813 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 1: So shout out there, shout out take advantage because Peppe 814 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 1: goes a bread. Now talk about the run game. So 815 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 1: let's dive into that.

Oh listen, it's pretty straightforward. Okay. 864 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 1: The good teams that are going into the playoffs and 865 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 1: they feel confident have a running game. Also, teams that 866 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,480 Speaker 1: were good and they started to struggle. What did they find? 867 00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 1: They found a running game. For your examples, Okay, Tampa Bay. 868 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 1: For all the weapons that Tom Brady has, playoff Lenny 869 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,080 Speaker 1: is the guy, right, playoff Lenny guy who can run 870 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,400 Speaker 1: the ball. He could kiss the ball out of the backfield, right, 871 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,120 Speaker 1: and you still had at that point Antonio Brown, Mike Evans, 872 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,840 Speaker 1: Chris Guy, when Rob Gronkowski. But the focused point of 873 00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 1: it was, hey man, Leoni Fournette has taken them right. 874 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,880 Speaker 1: As good as Aaron Rodgers is playing, he has Aaron 875 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 1: Jones and aj Dillon. Right when you need something to 876 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,399 Speaker 1: lean on, they're able to lean on. The ring game, 877 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,719 Speaker 1: the rams, all right. The Matthew Stafford gets out there, 878 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 1: he started on picks all over the place. What happened 879 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 1: the re emergence of Sony Michelle? All right, Now they 880 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,840 Speaker 1: found a way to run the ball. Kirk Cousins and 881 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,160 Speaker 1: them not that good of a team. But even though 882 00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,280 Speaker 1: they have these weapons on the outside of Justin Jefferson 883 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 1: and Adam Feeler, who is it that you're trying to 884 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:50,000 Speaker 1: stop Dalvin Cook? We could continue to run down the 885 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,640 Speaker 1: list with these teams who are able to utilize the 886 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,359 Speaker 1: running game and their running backs. How come we are 887 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,799 Speaker 1: not able to do the same thing? Right when you're 888 00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 1: going into the playoffs, you have to be able to 889 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 1: lean on that because defense running games travel, right. If 890 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,399 Speaker 1: we don't find a way to get our running game 891 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 1: on track, we are going to be in for a 892 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,440 Speaker 1: short stint in the playoffs. And that it's just the 893 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,919 Speaker 1: fact you cannot do it without a running game, because 894 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,399 Speaker 1: when the team is able to shut down your passing game, 895 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,440 Speaker 1: the only thing that can open that back up is 896 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,239 Speaker 1: the running game. Because now they got to drop another 897 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:21,720 Speaker 1: guy in the box to put eight in the box 898 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 1: to create those one on ones when you're able to 899 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,719 Speaker 1: drop more guys in courage and continue to drop eight, 900 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,720 Speaker 1: drop whatever, and you can't. You can't throw into those windows, 901 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:32,279 Speaker 1: all right, So we need to find a way to 902 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:33,960 Speaker 1: get this running game fixed. I've been saying it's this 903 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,480 Speaker 1: week one, but now We're in week eighteen and we 904 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 1: still have not found it. Zeke is out here in 905 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,120 Speaker 1: the eighteenth week talking about I need to get a 906 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:45,360 Speaker 1: thousand yards rushing. Eighteen weeks, all right, eighteen weeks. We 907 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 1: ain't got a thousand like, I don't. I don't. It 908 00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,200 Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. That's somewhere like fifty to sixty yards 909 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 1: a game. We haven't gotten it, all right, And it's 910 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,439 Speaker 1: not all his fault, like you have just not put 911 00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,840 Speaker 1: the emphasis on being able to run the football. Help me, Kelly, 912 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,960 Speaker 1: please help me, help us get deep into the playoffs 913 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,680 Speaker 1: by running the football. Police, you gotta get back to it. 914 00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,120 Speaker 1: And it's not even like, you know, if he goes 915 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,160 Speaker 1: out there and he doesn't even have to, you know, 916 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:10,880 Speaker 1: tear the whole place down. He ain't gotta run for 917 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty years or two hundred yards. They 918 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,880 Speaker 1: don't gotta even do that. But just keeping the defense 919 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 1: honest by saying, all right, they might not pass every down, 920 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,799 Speaker 1: they'll turn around and hand it off every now and then. 921 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,360 Speaker 1: It loosens things up for your offense. Just look what 922 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,640 Speaker 1: Arizona did. They didn't kill us on a run. If 923 00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,280 Speaker 1: you take away Cala Murray scrambles. I think they rushed 924 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,320 Speaker 1: the ball for maybe sixty total yards between all the 925 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,640 Speaker 1: running backs. But what they did was they kept us 926 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:34,359 Speaker 1: on honest because they didn't give up on it. They said, 927 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,279 Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna make an emphasis even though y'all 928 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 1: shutting us down, we're only getting three yards in the 929 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,759 Speaker 1: cloud of dust. We're gonna keep your honest and handing 930 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:42,680 Speaker 1: this ball off every one to three play or every 931 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,000 Speaker 1: couple of plays, just so your defensive ends can't pin 932 00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:46,920 Speaker 1: their ears back and get after us like we've seen 933 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:48,959 Speaker 1: in the past. So I think that's what this team 934 00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,759 Speaker 1: got to do, even though you know, politan Zeke maybe 935 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:53,440 Speaker 1: a little banged up and they might not be able 936 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,160 Speaker 1: to get you to two hundred yards rushing like they 937 00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 1: did earlier in the season, just turning around and giving 938 00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,360 Speaker 1: them the attempts. You know, they only had nine attempts 939 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,439 Speaker 1: the whole time last game, and two in the second half. 940 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,400 Speaker 1: And it's not like it was a blowout game, like 941 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,160 Speaker 1: Arizona was up by thirty some points and it was 942 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,319 Speaker 1: up a couple of touchdowns. They still had enough time 943 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,600 Speaker 1: to turn around and hand the football off. Keep that 944 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:13,840 Speaker 1: defense on us. But we didn't. We relied on, you know, 945 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,560 Speaker 1: the throwing up Dak Prescott, and you know, towards the 946 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,040 Speaker 1: end of that game he came on a little bit, 947 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:19,719 Speaker 1: but it was too little, too late. And I felt 948 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:21,480 Speaker 1: like if we were able to keep that running game 949 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,759 Speaker 1: at least in the thoughts of Arizona's defense, that we 950 00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:26,960 Speaker 1: didn't had much more success offense. And let me tell 951 00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,439 Speaker 1: you this song again, don't forget about Nazi Harris, something 952 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,200 Speaker 1: big being can't throw the ball? What you do your 953 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,680 Speaker 1: hand the ball to Nazy Harris. Okay, what happens when 954 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:35,399 Speaker 1: you Kansas City and they're trying to find a way 955 00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,279 Speaker 1: to get back on you start playing good defense, and 956 00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,359 Speaker 1: then your running games starts showing up like this isn't 957 00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,200 Speaker 1: across the board. They feel like we are the only 958 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,680 Speaker 1: team who can't figure out a way to get out 959 00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:45,319 Speaker 1: of a slump by saying, hey, we need to if 960 00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,160 Speaker 1: our defense is gonna play this way, we should help 961 00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 1: them out by keeping them up to field as much 962 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,319 Speaker 1: as they've been on there and running the ball all right, 963 00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:53,439 Speaker 1: finding a way to open up other stuff, man, because 964 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:54,960 Speaker 1: you can get them Mark Cooper the ball that way. 965 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,440 Speaker 1: Joe Mixing, are you looking at that guy as good 966 00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 1: as Jamar Chason T. Higgins are playing Joe mix Send 967 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:03,280 Speaker 1: as a Pro Bowl running back. Right, All these teams 968 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:04,839 Speaker 1: are able to do that. And these are the teams 969 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:06,799 Speaker 1: that we're looking at his like top five team, and 970 00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:08,799 Speaker 1: for some reason we just we just can't get a 971 00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:10,840 Speaker 1: handle on it. But Mike McCarthy believes we should be 972 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:12,520 Speaker 1: running the ball. So let's figure out how to get 973 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,360 Speaker 1: that done in week eighteen and hopefully throughout the playoffs 974 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:20,680 Speaker 1: with that. And with that, I go into the flip 975 00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:22,920 Speaker 1: side of what you talked about in that that Pittsburgh 976 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:28,320 Speaker 1: Cleveland game of how ineffective Cleveland was once they stopped 977 00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,960 Speaker 1: giving Nick Chubb the football and Nick Chubb was out 978 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,520 Speaker 1: there chewing up yards and then just shaking their head 979 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,359 Speaker 1: about what Kevin Stefanci is going like, this is your 980 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,360 Speaker 1: best football player, why aren't you using himself? McCarthy. Today's 981 00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:42,200 Speaker 1: press conference was once again on board, like, yeah, run ball. 982 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:46,560 Speaker 1: So this, you know, listen to McCarthy. I almost feel 983 00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,720 Speaker 1: like this is a Kelly Moore Dak Prescott deal where 984 00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,399 Speaker 1: they've got to make a more conscious effort about trying 985 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,960 Speaker 1: to run the football and get more attempts and McCarthy 986 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,200 Speaker 1: talked about more attempts. So you simply can't do it 987 00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,759 Speaker 1: the way they did it yesterday on Sunday, when you 988 00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,320 Speaker 1: had Ezekie Elliet with only two carries in the second 989 00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:06,000 Speaker 1: half running the football and Tony Pollard had none. That's 990 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:11,759 Speaker 1: just inexcusable football. All right, Well, run the ball. You 991 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,239 Speaker 1: heard it here first, Run the damn ball, and we're 992 00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 1: gonna get here where we need to be, all right, 993 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:25,160 Speaker 1: and probably will not play against the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday. 994 00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,279 Speaker 1: For Barry Church, Danny McCrae, I'm newis Christ his players Lounge. 995 00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,240 Speaker 1: We'll talk to you tomorrow right here on Dallas Cowboys 996 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,880 Speaker 1: dot Com Radio.
