How did the camps go? 48 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: Camps week? We had two camps last week. We had 49 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: camp Saturday and Sunday. One of them sold out. So 50 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: we you know, we're rolling. We were all, like you 51 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: heard it there first man, Craze rolling this week, not 52 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: last week, but this week. So let's dive a little 53 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: bit into this, uh, into this Cowboys football thing right now. 54 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: And one of the best players on it team. He's 55 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,519 Speaker 1: one of the younger players on his team, but obviously 56 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: I think off of last year he could be considered 57 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: maybe top two, if not you know, number one on 58 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: this team, and that's Michael Parsons. I mean, we've seen 59 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: how much of an impact this guy was able to 60 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: have coming from a rookie season and he didn't even 61 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: play his last year at Penn State to the COVID. 62 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: He you know, he took the gear off, came in 63 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: raw as a rookie, and really kind of took over 64 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: this team and almost took the NFL by storm the 65 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 1: way he was able to come off the edges a 66 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: defensive end and then also play sideline the sideline as 67 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: a linebacker out there. And me and you both know 68 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: we played this game as rookies going into the season 69 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: or going into camp. It's hard enough just knowing your 70 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: position out there and knowing the playbook and what you 71 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: gotta do. This guy was able to do both of 72 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: that at the d n's position and a linebacker position. 73 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: So ask you, mccraig, what can this guy do, if anything, 74 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: to improve upon such a stellar rookie season going into 75 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: year number two? Man, that is a that is a 76 00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: very tough thing, right, I think I think the best 77 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons Michael Parsons can do is to try to 78 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: mirror what he did last year. If you get the 79 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: exact same Michael Parsons this year that you got in 80 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, then you got a hell of a player. 81 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: Sometimes what happens is, you know, these guys have these 82 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: great rookie seasons and then all of a sudden, those 83 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: offensive coordinators are like, how can we exploit the weakness 84 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: that this player has? So they'll be watching film trying 85 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: to see if his eyes are right, trying to see 86 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: if he's stronger in the past versus the run, See 87 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: what his rush weakness is, what his strength is, what 88 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: he likes to do with sid he likes to rush on, 89 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: and then they try to scheme their offense based on that. 90 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: So Michael Parsons can go into training camp into this 91 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: off season knowing that that is what they're planning to 92 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: do and try to have some type of counting for it. 93 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: The great thing about it is Dan Quinn is here, 94 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:52,679 Speaker 1: all right. Quinn. I believe what he did with Michael 95 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: Parsons last year. He knows how he can build on that. 96 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: He sees the good and the bad and what Michael 97 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: Parsons can work on. It's not that many things the 98 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: guy asks to approvement, but you can always get better. 99 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 1: So I say this, he needs to keep being the 100 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: leader pushing guys like the Marcus Lawrence to beat him 101 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 1: in sacks. We already say they're talking about he said 102 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: he ain't getting it back and in the meeting last week. 103 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: He needs to keep being that guy is a second 104 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: year player. He also needs to not reach. Don't reach 105 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: and try to force things right. If if a year 106 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: doesn't start off as good as it did last year, 107 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: don't start all of a sudden getting down on yourself 108 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: thinking that you know you're not playing as well. It's 109 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: going to come. And I think those things kind of 110 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: happens sometimes, Right, all of a sudden, you got ten sacks, 111 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: the next season you got six or seventy. He's like, oh, 112 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: that's a drop off, That's not it, man, Keep grinding. 113 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: Just know that people are keen on you. The Aaron 114 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: Donald effect to be. In the first half of the 115 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, you see Aaron Donald kind of quiet because 116 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 1: the double team and the game is just flowing in 117 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: a different way and not allowing him to be able 118 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: to get those pass rushers. And then all of a sudden, 119 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: break out Aaron Donald. This is true. Michael Parsons is 120 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: going to get that Aaron Donald's treatment. They this season. 121 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 1: I can guarantee you that. So just make sure you 122 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: just keep fighting, young man. We all are depending on you. 123 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: I'm depending on you because I need us to get 124 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: that top ten yet at something put a little something 125 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: on that top. Yeah. I think Michael Parkson's gonna do 126 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,799 Speaker 1: it again, man, But it's gonna be tough because because 127 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: the year that he had last year was was an 128 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: all time year. It was an all time year. And 129 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: you're right, it's definitely gonna be tough in my opinion. 130 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: We've seen this before. I mean we've seen, you know, 131 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: Robert Griffin when we were both here with the Cowboys 132 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 1: when he, you know, kind of took off on that 133 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: rookie that rookie sensation and led them Washington to their 134 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: first playoff appearance. And I don't know how many years 135 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: and he was outstanding. You know, nobody could pretty much 136 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 1: put a finger on how to stop this guy, whether 137 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: it was him thrown through the air for four hundred 138 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: yards or him taking off for a one hundred and 139 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: fifty yards. He was a tough guy to contain. And man, 140 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: I remember his rookie year in Dallas got me, got 141 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: me a couple of times. I got so frustrated I 142 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: hit the man out of the mounth twice. They almost 143 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: ejected me from the game. But that's a different story 144 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: for another day. But that guy was amazing his rookie year. 145 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: But then we come out to that very next year 146 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: and like you said, offensive coordinators this time, defensive coordinators 147 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: all offseason, especially in the NFC East, they're looking at 148 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: this guy and saying, Okay, how can we take advantage 149 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: of him? How can we shut this down and kind 150 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: of make him pedestrian and whatever those defensive coordinators were 151 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: able to do, they kind of got to corral on him. Now, injuries, 152 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: you know, they kind of hurt him as well, but 153 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: he didn't have that great start like he did his 154 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: rookie year because defenses kind of figured things out. So 155 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: you kind of always gotta update your resume or you 156 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: kind of always gotta switch things up, and you can't 157 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: really rely on the same thing because in this league, 158 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: everybody's good, and if they get a hold on you 159 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: and they figure out what you're doing, they get to 160 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: be These defensive coordinators, they're good, and what they're gonna 161 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: do is they're gonna shut you down. And we saw 162 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: that from Robert Griffin. Now with Michael Parsons, like you said, 163 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: if he goes out there and has just the same 164 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: exact season as he had this rookie season, I mean, 165 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: he's this guy's gonna be great. But the thing is 166 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: he's gonna have to improve on, in my opinion, at least, 167 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: is his second level. And that's that's the linebacker. I mean, 168 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: we know, coming off the edge as a d N 169 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: he's strong, powerful, quick, got all the wiggle. He can 170 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: get around you know, a lineman pretty easy. But that's 171 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: that second level that they're gonna ask him the play linebacker. 172 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: Can't he be able to read the running pass? Is 173 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: he gonna be able to do the play action? Is 174 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: he gonna be able to blee sideline the sideline like 175 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: he was as a rookie when offensive coordinator's gonna be 176 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: playing with his eyes, And I mean by playing with 177 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: his eyes, I mean you know, play action fag getting 178 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: them think it's run but it's really passed. It's gonna 179 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: be tough on him. But if anybody could do it, 180 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: like you said, Michael Parson's got DQ, he can help 181 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: him out. I saw Michael Parsons as a rookie player 182 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: pass off a switch route and then go play the 183 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: will for people who don't it. That is one of 184 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: the most difficult things to do as a defensive back. Yes, 185 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: it is. He did it as a rookie linebacker playing 186 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: defensive playing linebacker, also at times playing defensive end, playing 187 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: on the right side, playing on the lift side. He 188 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: has so many things going through his mind and he 189 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: get out there and switch that thing and cover it 190 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: like a defensive back. So I think Michael Parson's got it, man, 191 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,079 Speaker 1: he just needs to, like I said, keep it his 192 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: mind right. Talk to guys like the de Marcus Ware, 193 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: who were long time guys who year in and year out, 194 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: no matter what defenses did to them, offensers did to him, 195 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: they found ways to get there. I remember watching DeMarcus 196 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,599 Speaker 1: Ware play. He had four sacks, so Michael Vick he 197 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: did right. At the time, you couldn't touch the phone boo. 198 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: It was the greatest show on turf part two right. 199 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: They thought they were doing a great thing. So him 200 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: and DeMarcus were cool. Just keep that knowledge, man, Go 201 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: get that knowledge from De Marcus Ware, and I think 202 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: you could be great. But it's not a fall off 203 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: if you have nine. Yeah, it's not because, like you said, 204 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: if you reach and you're trying to you know, if 205 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: you start the season off slow, We've seen it happened 206 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: time and time again, guys start to try to force things. 207 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: You know they're going to filth. Man, the balls just 208 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: not coming my way. I'm not getting a lot of tackles, 209 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: so you try to go out of the way to 210 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: make plays when in that system, that's how That's how, 211 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 1: in my opinion, you know, defenses start to crumble when 212 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: you got a guy who's saying, all right, man, I 213 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: gotta make this play and you try to do other 214 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: people's responsibilities. What's gonna happen nine times out of tenant 215 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: you've seen this before, is when you when they start 216 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: to see you, you know, reaching over here or trying 217 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 1: to do somebody else's responsibility, they're gonna hit you right 218 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: where you were supposed to be. And that's how defenses 219 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: get compromising. Big plays happened. So hopefully, like you said, 220 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: you know, Parsons can come back and follow up last 221 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: year or what he did his rookie season. But I 222 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a little tough. But he has 223 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: all the makeup, athletic ability, all that to pretty much, 224 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: at least in my opinion, duplicate what he did is 225 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: you would see you better mention d q R when 226 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: you're making the list of the makeup. Make sure that 227 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: you say he has dan Quinn mentoring him specifically. All right, 228 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: knew he told us last year that they was walking 229 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: up and down the field. McCarthy was every time you 230 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: mentioned Michael Parsons, you mentioned dan Quinn. You remember when 231 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: they thought dan Quinn was leaving last season, Michael Parsons 232 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: was sitting up there doing his interview and you could 233 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: tell that in his heart he wanted dan Quinn to 234 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: come back. And what dan Quinn do? He came back? 235 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: Came back. He came back, which is gonna put a 236 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: little bit of pressure on McCarthy overall. But you know, 237 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,959 Speaker 1: like I said, that's the start for another early early 238 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: big my arran. Now you over talking about pressure. I 239 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: was a kool aid man. I was without. That was 240 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: a rough year back then. But speaking of speaking of 241 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,079 Speaker 1: your man, d Quinn, and I say your man because 242 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: you was the one. I'll give props for propses due 243 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: you were the one coming into to that year saying, 244 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: you know, what, we need to acquire a guy like 245 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: dan Quinn. And I was over here like, how are 246 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: we going to acquire dan Quinn when he's giving up 247 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 1: twenty eight to three half halftime leads in the Super Bowl. 248 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: I don't know, but you get you got it right. 249 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: The guy came in here and made the most of 250 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: what his team and what he was giving, and the 251 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: carpenter had his tools and he did a great job 252 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: of that defense. In your opinion, how hard is it 253 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: or will he even be able to follow up such 254 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,079 Speaker 1: a great year he had last year coming up this year, 255 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: because we've seen it before, defenses go up and down. 256 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: Can he stayed consistently as one of those better defenses? 257 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: Especially taking the football away? Man, It's it's crazy because 258 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: I think you can and and I kind of compare 259 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: it to like um, like when when new head coaches 260 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: moved from one college to another, right, and you say, 261 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: all right, you get him three or four years, right, 262 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 1: because you gotta get in your own recruiting class, get 263 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: your own players built built for your system. Right now, 264 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: we're in a year or two of that. If you 265 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 1: look at the drafts and the two years that dan 266 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 1: Quinn has been here, it's been heavy defense and heavy difference, 267 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: and specifically on the errors that meet you and knew. 268 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: We always talk about we need to get better in 269 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 1: defensive line. Yes, we got a linebacker. Last year, we 270 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: got some guys who can cover. We got some cover guys. 271 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: Right and then listen, people are asleep on the mont 272 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: Clark all right. I'm just telling you watch his film 273 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 1: when he was an LSU to do this an absolute monster. 274 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: He's a leader on the field. If there's a chance 275 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: of him coming back and being eight ninety percent of 276 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: what he was at Louisiana State University, they got them 277 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: a guy, and that's a guy for dan Quinn to 278 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: be able to work with. So I'm seeing dan Quinn 279 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: put these pieces in order. We got we got some 280 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: beef on the defensive line. Now they got Michael Parsons 281 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: who can rush. You got the Marcus Lawrence, you got 282 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: o you got your guy Neville Gallimore, who you said 283 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: it is going to be a star two years ago, 284 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: you said he has a healthy year. So dan Quinn 285 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: has the pieces. I think he has more pieces now 286 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: than he had last year. Right. And now now they're 287 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: in the second year of being able to be in 288 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: that dan Quinn system, I think you're gonna see this 289 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: team play a lot better. All right, we got we 290 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: gotta cover better, we gotta we gotta give up a 291 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: few less yards. We gotta hold it down in the 292 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: run game. But we got so much better from the 293 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: year before dan Quinn got here to when he was here. 294 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, the guy's the limit for year 295 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: two in the dan Quinn defense. I tend to agree 296 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: with you on that one, because you know he added 297 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: those tools. Like you said, the carpenter always needs his tools. 298 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,199 Speaker 1: And you know, I harken back to my time in 299 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: Jacksonville when in twenty seventeen we went all the way 300 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,559 Speaker 1: to the SC Championship game and we had the number 301 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 1: one defense in the National Football League, number one in sacks, 302 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: number one in taking the football away. We were on 303 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: top of the world. You know, at the end of 304 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: the day, we got beat by Brady in the last 305 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: two minutes. Shouldn't have happened at all. Still, that's still 306 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: a dad my soul, but grown yet the man that 307 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: was the cleanest hit all right, going up the seams, 308 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: Brady tried, I'm in the middle of the field deep 309 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: third safety. Brady tried to look me off a little bit. 310 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: I didn't fall for it. Threw a diamond into hit 311 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: him right in his chest right here, legal as you 312 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: can get all shoulder, no him, but I hit him 313 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: dan his chest, knocked him out of the game. Next 314 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: thing I know, I look up, there's a flag, fifteen 315 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: yard penalty, another flag, they're in the end zone before halftime, 316 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: and it all went downhill from there. But with that 317 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: team in twenty seventeen, that Jackson was team that I 318 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: was on had um and they basically basically was the 319 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: same thing with the Cowboys. We took the football away great, 320 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: and overall we sacked the quarterback great as well, So 321 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: we were a great defense. But going into that next year, 322 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: I think we kind of just thought, you know, it's 323 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: just gonna double back. We're gonna run this thing back, 324 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: kind of like how Tampa Bay they brought everybody back 325 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: thing and they were just gonna go straight back to 326 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: the super Bowl. And we thought, hey, we're gonna we 327 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: had a great defense last year, let's continue that. We 328 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: don't need to make any changes. So we didn't bring 329 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: a lot of defensive players in as far as draft 330 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: or free agents. We just thought we could running back, 331 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: and we ran it back on the first place schedule. 332 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: So for those who don't know, if you win your 333 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: division that following year, you got to play all the 334 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: first place teams in those other divisions like the Cowboys. 335 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: Like the Cowboys through this ye all that good got 336 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow coming through. So what we didn't do, we 337 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: didn't bring more, We didn't get better on the defensive 338 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: side of the ball. We stayed the same and we 339 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: still had a top ten defense, but we weren't as 340 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: strong as we were a last year or in twenty seventeen. 341 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: Twenty seventeen we were the reason that we got to 342 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: the a a FC Championship. That following year, we were still good, 343 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: but we needed help along the way. And the only 344 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: thing I could say about the Cowboys that's different and 345 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: this go around is they brought in more tools on 346 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: that defensive side, because last year they were great, and 347 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: in my opinion they were. They might not have been 348 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: top ten as far as statistics, but they took the 349 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: ball away and they always gave back Prescott in his 350 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: offense a chance to win. This year, they didn't just 351 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: rest on their lords. They brought in guys, like you said, 352 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: they brought into the cart from LS Shoe. They still 353 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: got Cox coming in when he gets back from his injury. 354 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: You got some cats that you brought in from free agency. 355 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: It's new. He's got Marquise Belle. He's here. I see, 356 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: I see, I see him, and I see him in 357 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: the paper. He got in the interceptions. I'm hearing hearing 358 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: David the talk about him. He's in a shining spot. Man. 359 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: It's something about those undrafted safeties. I don't know. I 360 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: think Will McClary enough. They find a way to get 361 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: the guys who who who who other teams have missed 362 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: out on that are undrafted usually have a safety position 363 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: and they find guys to come in there and make play. 364 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: Some shout out to them. But got the Marquis Bell, 365 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: You got guys that dan Quinn and will finding guys 366 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: they fit into dan quinn system and that is that 367 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: is super positive for the direction that this team can 368 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: go in. And I think they also got to steal 369 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: in the second round with Sam Williams. I mean, you're 370 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: talking about a guy who was SEC Player of the Year, 371 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: old miss defensive man who can get after the quarterback. 372 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: If you got eleven sackson and you played in the SEC. 373 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: So if you got eleven sacks in the SEC, you're 374 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: doing something in my opinion. So they're bringing in talent 375 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: on all stages of the defense. They're not just resting 376 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: on what they did last year. And like you said, 377 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 1: you got the mad DQ over there, the mad genius 378 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 1: with his hat on backwards. He can figure things out. 379 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: And if he can get the best out of that 380 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: team last year, I think he can get the best 381 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: out of that taking this ship. And I want to 382 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: see what Ridgeway is gonna do, right, I want to 383 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: see what Ridgeway is gonna do because we've been like 384 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 1: I said, we've been talking about the trenches, all right. 385 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 1: We need some size in the trenches, without a doubt, 386 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: and he's bringing some. He's bringing some sides, A big guy, 387 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 1: all right, man, And if he can back it up 388 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: and bring what he brought in college, that nasty defensive 389 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 1: line where those offensive linemen are like, man, I'm not 390 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: trying to block this guy, right, He's just in there 391 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: taking up space, holding up gaps and not letting you 392 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: run the ball in the in the A and B gaps. 393 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: If you can get a guy that can do that 394 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: and they have to run on the edge against the 395 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons, the Marcus Lawrs, no way. I'm just I 396 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: feel really good about where this defense is going. Second 397 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 1: year under dan Quinn from the drafts that we've that 398 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: we've gotten the what he showed that he can do 399 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: in year one. It's just a few things we got 400 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: to tighten up. And I think we are on track 401 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: to have one of those staple defenses because I think 402 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 1: what dan Quinn and what this you know Cowboys team 403 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 1: did was they addressed some needs. I mean defensively, what 404 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: did we see in that in that forty nine Ers 405 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: game and the trenches on both sides of the football, 406 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: it was, you know, defensively, we got punched the mouth 407 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: and they ran the ball literally down our throat the 408 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: entire game, especially that first drive. And offensively, I mean 409 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,640 Speaker 1: that that forty nine Ers D line it was special, 410 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: but I mean they were making Dak Prescott's day a 411 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: living hell back there and then with penalties with the 412 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: offsive line. I mean, I think what this Cowboys team 413 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 1: did is they addressed both sides in the trenches what 414 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 1: they needed to do, and hopefully that can snowball into 415 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: some positive reinforcement for this tancause that Billy bad Denver 416 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,360 Speaker 1: came in and did to us, man laid the blueprint 417 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: out there. We just we just weren't physical enough in 418 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 1: the trenches. But now I think, at least on the 419 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: defensive side, for sure, I believe at least the effort 420 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: has been put in the show that we are. We 421 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: are addressing the knees that we have, all right, So 422 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 1: I'm cool with it. On defense, I'm sure we're against 423 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 1: the offense, but defense, I feel good. All right, let's 424 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 1: give up less yards. Uh, you know, in the passing game, 425 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 1: let's let's step it up a little bit without giving 426 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: up those those deep, those deep, deep balls. And even 427 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: though you're you're getting the interceptions, we want to get 428 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 1: the interceptions and we want to have something we don't. 429 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 1: We don't get to give up one for the other. 430 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: And just had this this this unbalanced defense. So if 431 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: we can do that, look for us to be top ten. 432 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: We'll have something on that. Look look for us to 433 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 1: be top ten. We got Washington, Okay, we got what 434 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: we play against, Carson Wentz, Okay, we got Danny Dobbs. 435 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: That's okay. We don't know what what Jalen hurtson are 436 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 1: going to be? All right? That's twice all right, So 437 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: we have an opportunity against some teams there when you 438 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: go down, we got the opportunity to be a top 439 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 1: ten defense. All right, don't let our foot out the 440 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 1: gas and we'll be all right. All right, we're gonna 441 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: go into our first break. But before we do, there 442 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: was a top ten list that was made NFL Network. 443 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: They had a top ten list of the top cover 444 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: guys out there in the National Football League. One cowboy 445 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: made it. But I don't think it's who you think 446 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: it is. When we get backward with the players Lounes 447 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: will discuss this top ten list and if it is 448 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: a correct top ten list, this is the Players Louns. 449 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: Brought to you by s WBC.

And before we went on break, you know 514 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: I talked about a top ten list you know that 515 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: was made from the Nick Up from the NFL network. 516 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: He's an NFL writer over there, and he made a 517 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: top ten list. Not only corners, there's some safeties involved, 518 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:12,360 Speaker 1: but the top ten cover guys throughout the NFL last year. Now, 519 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go through some of these names. You may 520 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: know him, you may not know him, but the cowboy 521 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: did make the list. One cowboy did make the list. 522 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: He fairly hot. He's fairly high too. He was top 523 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: six in there, so he's fairly high. So let's go 524 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: through this list. Just missed the cut. That means that 525 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: you was you. Honorable mention Kyle Dugger, the safety from 526 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 1: New England. Darius Slay, the cornerback from Philadelphia Eagles, who 527 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,360 Speaker 1: I thought had an outstanding year last year. Big place 528 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: sligh shout out Carlton Davis, the corner from Tampa Bay 529 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: who he got roasted and toasted a little bit here 530 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: and there. But I guess they say he's one of 531 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: the top one. He just missed the cut. They just 532 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: being nice. He missed the cut. So here goes to 533 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: top ten lists. At number ten, we got Xavier Howard, 534 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: the corner opposite of Byron Jones down there in my 535 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: and he just got that super Megga deal. Is one 536 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 1: of the He's probably the top corner in the National 537 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 1: Football League right or paid corner in the National Football 538 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: League right now. At number nine, you got Jamale Dean 539 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 1: corner for the other corner for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 540 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: Number eight Levi Wallace. He's with the Pittsburgh Steelers now. 541 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: He was with the Bills in twenty one. Number seven 542 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: is Cameron Danzler, who a lot of people might not 543 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: know about. He you know, had a lot of potential 544 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: coming out of college. Didn't really get in favors with 545 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer over there in Minnesota, so he was kind 546 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 1: of on and off the field. But he made a 547 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: list that number seven. He played well, he did when 548 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: he was when when he when he was when he 549 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 1: was playing, he played well well, He played well, so 550 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: maybe he'll get a little bit more playing time this year. 551 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: At number six. Are one and only Cowboy to make 552 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 1: this list, And it's not who you may think it is. 553 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 1: You may think a guy with eleven interceptions and was 554 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: just ball Howking and you know, had one of the 555 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: greatest seasons in Cowboys history, but be on the list. 556 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: But Lewis, it's not Joan Lewis, who also had a 557 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 1: you know, a pretty good season at that slot. You 558 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 1: think he would be on his list as well. But 559 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 1: to surprise a few, it's Anthony Brown who's listed at 560 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,200 Speaker 1: number six as one of the top cover guys out 561 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: there in the National Football League. The only Cowboy to 562 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: make it at number six is Anthony Brown. Listen, I'm 563 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: just telling you, okay, Like I told y'all last season, 564 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 1: outside of the first game when we all were mistaken, everybody, 565 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: he got him. He got beat by Tonio Brown one 566 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 1: on one man and man and we figured out that 567 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: it was two man because his defensive coordinated, Dan Quinn, 568 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 1: came to his defense and let everybody know that that 569 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 1: was a two man to say they should have been 570 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: over the top outside of that miscommunication on our fault 571 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 1: and us jumping the gun to do that. A good season, 572 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 1: he didn't. I think he had a good season. He 573 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: had his best season as a PROS cover. Like all 574 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: that heat and they were going at him and he 575 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: was he was standing up. And for the viewers that 576 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: don't know two man's, basically, as a corner, you press 577 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: the wide receiver at the line of scrimmage, but you 578 00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: let him get on top of you and you play 579 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 1: underneath them, so you may let him get a yard 580 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 1: or two yards ahead of you and you play all 581 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 1: the underneath routes because you know, well, at least supposedly, 582 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a safety over the top of you 583 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: to prevent all that deep routes. And Dan Quinn basically 584 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: said that came to the Anthony Browns defence in that game. 585 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 1: Number five, you got Kevin Bayard, who was another ball 586 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: hockeing safety out there. Number four, the young guy Patrick 587 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: Certanti had a great rookie season over there in Denver. 588 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 1: And then you got Patrick Certain came here and locked 589 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 1: us up and did he put the claims he was 590 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: We were struggling. You talking about pause because Mark Cooper, 591 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 1: You're talking about number one that way, because because Jerry 592 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: Jones said, listen, I've missed, I've missed the week. I 593 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: know y'all cover Jerry Jones shooting the slug at my 594 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: man and Mark Cooper all right, slugs being shot out 595 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: of this. And it was yet Patrick Certain, you know, 596 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: he paid, he did his day. He's a good corner 597 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:53,919 Speaker 1: out there. Then you got a number three Rzul Douglas 598 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,400 Speaker 1: who had a I think he had a pretty good 599 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: year with Green Bay, especially when the playoffs came around. 600 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: Number two J C. Jackson, the corner out of the 601 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: Patriots last year who got a massive deal, who now 602 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: plays for the Chargers and number one on this list. 603 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 1: He's kind of a sleeper, but he had an amazing 604 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 1: season in my in my opinion, he only allowed only 605 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: fifty percent of his passes thrown at him to be completed, 606 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,919 Speaker 1: and that's a j Terrell. He might not have had 607 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: a lot of the interceptions, but to me, he was 608 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 1: blanking in receivers out there. So I asked you, mccraig, 609 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: going through this list, did Nick get it right by 610 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: placing Anthony Brown as the only cowboy to make this 611 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,360 Speaker 1: top ten cover list? Man, Look, okay, let's let's break 612 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: it down to the stats that he used. Okay, passer 613 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: rating aloud Anthony Brown seventy five point eight. I can 614 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: almost guarantee you that Trayvon Diggs passer rating aloud is 615 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: higher than that. He did give up catch rate aloud 616 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: below expectation. He went into some stuff. But let's go 617 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: target rate twenty one point seven percent. So they were 618 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: throwing the ball at this guy, they were, they were, 619 00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: and he's defended it every separation two points dix yards 620 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: uh tight window twenty eight and twenty. These are low number. 621 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: These are all right, these are low. Now what we 622 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: what we are going to do next for next year 623 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: was We're gonna get Trayvon Diggs numbers. That's what we need. 624 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: And I'm pared and im and I'm absolutely sure that 625 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: these numbers will be better than Trayvon Digs. The thing 626 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: that Trayvon Diggs has over Anthony Brown in the in 627 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: the previous season was the amount of interceptions and turnovers 628 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: he was able to create on the back end. But 629 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: Anthony Brown was no slouse. You're creating turnovers, he wasn't. 630 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 1: He had interceptions himself. He had the one in the 631 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: in the in the playoffs that almost brought us back 632 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: against the forty nine ers. So pick six he did. 633 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: He had a couple of pick six solid tackler out there. Oh, 634 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: he had a good season. I think I think as 635 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: far as cover corners, you're not. You're not saying like 636 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: playmakers because I think Trayvon Diggs is above and beyond 637 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: a better playmaker than than Anthony Brown at this point. 638 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: But as far as covering, yeah, I think I think 639 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 1: he got it right on this one, which is I 640 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: think that also Trey Lund Diggs will grow and become 641 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: a better cover corner as well. But right now, yes, 642 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: I think that he's in a perfect spot. I think 643 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: so too. I mean, the guy, like you said, you 644 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: went on off all the stats, he didn't allow as 645 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: many completions as and when you're watching the games, you're thinking, okay, man, 646 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: Anthony Brown. But it's only maybe once or twice in 647 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: the game that he's getting caught on and it's for 648 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: like you know, minimal game is maybe ten to fifteen yards. 649 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: You know, before in the past, previous years, he would 650 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: be known for that guy that that would lose the 651 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: fifty fifty ball. And what I mean by fifty to 652 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: fifty is basically the quarterbacks throwing it up the one 653 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: on one between Anthony Brown and a wide receiver and 654 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: those guys would go over top of him because I mean, 655 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: receivers are big in this league, and they would make 656 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: those fifty fifteen catches on him. But this year, I 657 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 1: think he did a much better job of staying in 658 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: that hit pocket of the receiver, making sure if it 659 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: is a catch, it's a contested catch. And as a 660 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: defensive bagging as coaching staff, I'm sure they would tell 661 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: you as long as you're in the right spot and 662 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: you're making these hard and they're making some unbelievable catches, 663 00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: but you're contesting them. You can live with that because 664 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: nine times out of ten, guys aren't gonna just bring 665 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: down one handed grabs the entire game. I mean, they're 666 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: gonna drop a few out there. So in my opinion, 667 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: I think Anthony Brown had a heck of a season, 668 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: very solid season out there, and hopefully going into this 669 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: year with the competition that there's that they're bringing in 670 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: for this defense. I mean, you got boss Man Fat 671 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: aka Kelvin Joseph over there, you got the No Sean 672 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: right over there, who had some experience last year. There's 673 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 1: gonna be a battle in my opinion, for that second 674 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: and third cornerback spot, and hopefully Anthony Brown can continue 675 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: and build on what he did last year. Yeah, listen, 676 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: I'm I'm actually a little bit more optimistic about the 677 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: security that Anthony Brown has in its number two spots. Okay, 678 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,959 Speaker 1: the man's on the list. We saw what our ottest. 679 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 1: I think what happens what Anthony Brown is You know, 680 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: you get a sour taste in your mouth from guys 681 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: in previous seasons. Right, So if somebody had a bad 682 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: season and season twenty twenty where you just saw him 683 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 1: getting caught on all over the place, and then you 684 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: move into the next season and you automatically assume in 685 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: two men that he got burned for a touchdown, then 686 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's like, oh, man, but this 687 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: is based off what happened previously. He'll go Anthony Brown again. 688 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: All right, that's like, that's that's the thought that you 689 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: get in your head. So I think that happens almost 690 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: any time Anthony Brown gets a pass caught on them, 691 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: everybody's like, oh, here goes Anthony Brown again. But in 692 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: the grand scheme of you look at the big picture, 693 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: cornerbacks are going to get passes called on him. And 694 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: when you're not giving up the big play, you're locking 695 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 1: down in tight situations and those big time situations, so 696 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: you're getting interceptions in times to turn the game. You 697 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: are a top notch corner And I think Anthony Brown 698 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: turned into one of those guys in the twenty twenty 699 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: one season. But people were kind of still leaning on 700 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: things that they had saw in previous season. So y'all 701 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 1: give Anthony Brown his prop so he came out and 702 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 1: he balled, he bawled nothing shorter that he was on 703 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: the defense who went from almost words to the middle 704 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 1: of the packet, could have been top ten had it before, 705 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 1: you know, coaches now taking out some guys when we 706 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: had twenty point leads and all those other things. So 707 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 1: Anthony Brown, I think, I think he solidified his spot 708 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: as the second corner and he would have to do 709 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: something atrocious to lose that spot to me. To me, 710 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: it's very similar to a guy we both played with, 711 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: and that's the goat, Jeff heat I mean a lot 712 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: of a lot of people, you know, off of his 713 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: rookie season where he struggled a little bit. Front drafted 714 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: free agent coming in, he was kind of thrown into 715 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 1: the fire and he struggled a little bit as a rookie, 716 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: which you know all of us did when we first 717 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 1: got into the NFL. But as the years went on, 718 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: I think Jeff he developed into an extremely solid safety, 719 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: I would say a good safety international Football League. He 720 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: always is around the football, solid tackler, and he's a 721 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: lot faster than people think he is. So to me, 722 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: it was they're in both kind of similar situations to 723 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,239 Speaker 1: where anytime something bad would happened in Heath, was like, Oh, 724 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: why the heck is Heath in the football game? Why 725 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 1: is he doing this? We need to bench him? When 726 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 1: reality is he's playing well. He's just got that stigma 727 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 1: from his rookie season that kind of kind of carried 728 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: with him throughout his career. But I see them as 729 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 1: both in a similar situation, and hopefully, like you said, 730 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: Anthony Brown, I think he can lock down that number 731 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 1: two spot once training camp gets in there, and hopefully 732 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: he can build upon that season he had last year. 733 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: But you know, let's dive a little bit to the 734 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 1: offensive side. I mean, we you know, we're defensive guys, 735 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 1: so we're always going to kind of lean towards the 736 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 1: defense because I saw our specialty. But let's talk a 737 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 1: little bit on the offensive side, because I want to 738 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,919 Speaker 1: get your thoughts on this. Are the Cowboys relying too 739 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 1: much on unproven factors going into the season. Now. I 740 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: know we haven't gone into training camp, and you know 741 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: a lot of people, you know, there's a lot of 742 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: time left for these guys to develop. But there's a 743 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: possibility going into the season that we have Cde Lamb 744 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,439 Speaker 1: who this will be his first year being that quote 745 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 1: unquote number one receiver. And outside of that, if Michael 746 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: gallup starts on the pup list or physically unable to perform, 747 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: he'll be not available till week six. So we're going 748 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,360 Speaker 1: in there with a James Washington experience who has experienced 749 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 1: from Pittsburgh, former first round draft choice. In my opinion, 750 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,359 Speaker 1: he never really lived up to that first round pick 751 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. He had some glimpses of some shine here 752 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,360 Speaker 1: and there, but never really had that consistency in my opinion. 753 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 1: Then you're also going in there with a rookie Jalen Tolbert, 754 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: who I think he's gonna be expected to contribute to 755 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 1: this offense in a big way, you know, because we 756 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: lost said Wilson. You know, we lost to Mark Cooper. 757 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: So I think he's gonna have to fill in that 758 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 1: third receiver role and possibly second receiver role if Michael 759 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 1: Gallatino can't come back to what he was. And then 760 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 1: you also have Dalton Shultz, who had a hell of 761 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,799 Speaker 1: a year last year. I doubt it, but he had 762 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 1: all He's getting more consistent, He's getting more consistent. So 763 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 1: you're left with that, and then you have a good 764 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 1: running game. Hopefully we're able to use that with Pollard 765 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 1: and Zeke. But you also, in my opinion, you're gonna 766 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: throw a rookie guard in there as well, because I think, 767 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 1: you know, first round pick, he's gonna start, He's gonna 768 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,439 Speaker 1: get thrown into the fire. In my opinion, they're gonna 769 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: ask a lot of him as a rookie soul. I'm 770 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: gonna ask you this, are the Cowboys relying too much 771 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:55,360 Speaker 1: on unproven factors or unproven offensive players going into this 772 00:35:55,600 --> 00:36:01,319 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two NFL season, I would say, I don't. 773 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:05,719 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think so. Um as we all know, 774 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: I do have a little bit more confidence in my 775 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,800 Speaker 1: man in Washington coming over from Pittsburg. I know he 776 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 1: had issues with the drops. He has some drops. He's 777 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: out there. But there's some receiver coach on this on 778 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,200 Speaker 1: this side of the NFC who believes that he can 779 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,959 Speaker 1: get that fixed. They picked him up because they saw 780 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 1: the talent that he had. Once he gets the balls 781 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 1: in his hand, he just has to catch the ball 782 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 1: and then learn how to be in the right position. 783 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,279 Speaker 1: We saw him in the walking boost. He still has 784 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 1: to catch up and find out where to be at. 785 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,680 Speaker 1: But I think with a leader like Dak and then 786 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore and them, I think they'll they'll get him 787 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: right and ready to play offense. So I'm not really 788 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 1: worried about the receiver position. And I will say this 789 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 1: continuously because last year we did not run an offense 790 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: that forced somebody to be a true number one. We 791 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,440 Speaker 1: did not say, hey man, you no matter what's happening 792 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 1: on this play, we're throwing the ball to you and 793 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,239 Speaker 1: we need you to make a play. I don't I 794 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: don't think we played that way. That's why you all 795 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 1: guys like Noah Brown and guys like Cygric Wilson be 796 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 1: able to make big plays in those situations because we 797 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 1: weren't looking for specifically Cde Lamb or Mark Cooper. It 798 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 1: was like, we're gonna run this route and that's gonna 799 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,959 Speaker 1: find whoever's supposed to be open based on whatever scheme 800 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 1: we're running. Which if we do the same thing this year, 801 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 1: I'm not worried. I believe guys are going to be 802 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 1: in the right position to make those plays and then 803 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 1: they got to catch the ball. I don't think they 804 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 1: have to do anything that's there's something super crazy and 805 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 1: out of their their depths when it comes to what 806 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: like what they're talent allows them to do. I don't think. 807 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 1: I don't think we're gonna play that type of game. 808 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,440 Speaker 1: You don't think Kellen's gonna gonna switch it up to 809 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 1: where he's like, all right, CD is my guy. I 810 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: kinda figure a way to get him the football. So 811 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:37,800 Speaker 1: why why didn't he do that last year when the 812 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 1: marrow it was making twenty he didn't. What about the 813 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,439 Speaker 1: previous year he didn't didn't It didn't happen. It didn't happen. 814 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 1: So I don't see it happening this year. He could 815 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 1: prove me wrong, but I don't see that happening. I 816 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,400 Speaker 1: do hope that we are going to lean a little 817 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,359 Speaker 1: bit more on the run game. And the only reason 818 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 1: and the only reason I believe that that is going 819 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: to happen is not because all of a sudden he's 820 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 1: gonna switch. I think that what they're seeing from Tony 821 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 1: Pollter and what they believe that he can do, I 822 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 1: think that is going to force them to then get 823 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 1: the ball in Tony Paula's hand more. I don't see 824 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 1: it being him lining up in the slot receiver like 825 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:08,920 Speaker 1: people are assuming. I think they're gonna line them up 826 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,320 Speaker 1: in the backfield. They're gonna try to create mismatches on 827 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 1: linebackers and then they're gonna get the ball to them. 828 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 1: That way, they're gonna spread it out, maybe run some 829 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 1: type of read options. I think that's the way they're 830 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 1: gonna get on the ball. And that is going to 831 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 1: step up our running game, which is gonna take a 832 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 1: little bit of pressure off of Dak in this passing game, 833 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 1: because because what we know when we played in this league, 834 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,759 Speaker 1: if you're able to run the football, and I mean 835 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 1: this is like beating the dead drum right now, but 836 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,799 Speaker 1: if you're able to run the football, it opens up 837 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 1: so much more for your offense. You have the play action, 838 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 1: which in turn, if you're running the football, well, they're 839 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:41,919 Speaker 1: gonna stock that boxing. What I mean by that, they're 840 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:43,880 Speaker 1: gonna bring that safety down. They're gonna make that an 841 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:47,439 Speaker 1: eight man box, four defensive lineman, three linebackers, and maybe 842 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 1: even a safety walking down. That's gonna open up the 843 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,399 Speaker 1: field so much more for your passing attack if you're 844 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,399 Speaker 1: able to lean on the running game. But what we've 845 00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,200 Speaker 1: seen from Kellen Moore these past two years you know 846 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 1: him as Offen a coordinator, he kind of treats it 847 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,800 Speaker 1: like Madden, where it's like, oh man, we're downtown. I 848 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 1: got look, Kellen, it's only the second quarter. You still 849 00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: got a hard time to get back in this game. 850 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 1: Don't just throw away the run game because you're down 851 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,759 Speaker 1: to score two. So hopefully we're able to lean on 852 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:18,440 Speaker 1: that run game. And like you said, it'll take a 853 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 1: lot of press rob back in this passing game. But 854 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,520 Speaker 1: what got me a little bit worried is right now 855 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,040 Speaker 1: with our passing attacking, our offense and these and these 856 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 1: guys that to me are unproven, is everything is gonna 857 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 1: have to go perfect. Like they're gonna have to be 858 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 1: able to be extremely accurate. You're gonna have in a 859 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 1: passing game. You're gonna have to be able to run 860 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:37,960 Speaker 1: the ball. You're gonna have to be able to keep 861 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 1: these defenses off tilted because if you don't, they're gonna 862 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 1: laser in on you. And I don't think we have 863 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 1: the talent to just, you know, go out there and 864 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,279 Speaker 1: make one on ones and beat one on ones. And 865 00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,399 Speaker 1: like you said, that's not even how our offense works. 866 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,719 Speaker 1: We don't look at one on one matchups. We look 867 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 1: at scheme over players, and that worries me because there's 868 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,800 Speaker 1: a lot of unproven value in this offense. Let me 869 00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,920 Speaker 1: tell you something. Okay, we gotta running back that make 870 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,279 Speaker 1: in ninety. Okay, we got a first round receiver out there, 871 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: we got a quarterback that's making one sixty. We got 872 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 1: people out there who we believe our top talents in 873 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,080 Speaker 1: the league. All right, we just drafted offensive line and 874 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 1: Tyler Smith in the first round. And if he does 875 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 1: play guard, he can be successful at guard. If we 876 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 1: are able to stay healthy at that left tackle position, 877 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 1: still can build off what he did last year, specifically 878 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,359 Speaker 1: on the right side of the offensive line. I think 879 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,320 Speaker 1: that will be okay. Now we gotta show up some 880 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,240 Speaker 1: stuff at center and make sure that we're not getting 881 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 1: bullied in the deck. And we still have that time, 882 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 1: but our offensive coordinator can help us with that. We're 883 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,880 Speaker 1: having some misdirection, maybe some outside runs, some stretches. We 884 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 1: got Tony Pollard with some speed, and you have to 885 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,440 Speaker 1: feed Zeke. I don't want to hear all this talk about, 886 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,480 Speaker 1: you know, Zeke not the same as he was in 887 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,160 Speaker 1: previous years, all that stuff. What we've seen is when 888 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 1: you give the man the opportunity, a real opportunity to 889 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:55,680 Speaker 1: run the ball, and you include him in the game 890 00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 1: plan to where hey man, we're gon we're gonna center 891 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,200 Speaker 1: this game in our first quarter, secon quarter off of you. 892 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:05,080 Speaker 1: We're gonna feed you, and we're gonna make the defense 893 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 1: have to defend the run so we can then open 894 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 1: up the pass. When we've seen Kelly Moore do that, 895 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,239 Speaker 1: I think it was Game two where Zeke went off 896 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,040 Speaker 1: and Polo went off and all of a sudden we 897 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:15,960 Speaker 1: thought the offense was back on track, and then we 898 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,880 Speaker 1: kind of reverted back to the Tampa game where we 899 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 1: did the extension of the run and we started throwing 900 00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: those screens outside. If we get back get back to Haysta, Zeke, 901 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 1: this is gonna be on you. Every time we've done 902 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,879 Speaker 1: that with Zeke, we have been a success coming from 903 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,360 Speaker 1: We've been a successful team from the top down. The 904 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 1: receivers played better, Dad played better that the offensive line 905 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 1: paid played better, Like this is a simple thing for me. 906 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 1: And then now you can also add in the Tony 907 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,840 Speaker 1: Poula who can give you that change of pace. I 908 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,320 Speaker 1: think it's pretty simple, but it's Kelly Moore going to 909 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 1: depend on these guys to help his offensive line, who 910 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,120 Speaker 1: we are a little worried about, or he gonna say, 911 00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:57,040 Speaker 1: oh man, y'all block, y'all block forty fifty times in 912 00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,839 Speaker 1: the past game and let guys like Aaron Donald come 913 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,440 Speaker 1: here and rush down your throat, like, how are we 914 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,640 Speaker 1: gonna get this done? Hopefully, it's you know, it's the 915 00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:07,360 Speaker 1: way that I wanted to be, where we're running the 916 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 1: ball and then we're then building our past game off 917 00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:12,759 Speaker 1: of that. I hope you're right. I hope you're right, 918 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,080 Speaker 1: because too many times last year I think a boy 919 00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,880 Speaker 1: maybe five or six games last year Zeke only had 920 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,360 Speaker 1: twelve total carries, like twelve. I mean, we're used to 921 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,400 Speaker 1: a guy like that being at Bell Coyle twenty to 922 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,960 Speaker 1: twenty five carries a game, and I forget the stat, 923 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:30,560 Speaker 1: but it's something ridiculous, like if he has over twenty 924 00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,319 Speaker 1: some carries, the team is like twenty seven and one. 925 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it's something ridiculous to where you gotta look 926 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 1: at history and say, when we give this guy the 927 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 1: ball and we give him a true opportunity to be 928 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,560 Speaker 1: the Bell Cole back, good things happening for this offense. 929 00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,800 Speaker 1: So hopefully Kelly Moore can get back to that running 930 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,800 Speaker 1: to football and getting us back to that dominating offense. 931 00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,279 Speaker 1: We'll see. Let me say something. Okay, we added the 932 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:55,560 Speaker 1: game last season, played seventeen games. Zeke barely barely got 933 00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 1: to a thousand yards. All right, He's a better running 934 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,960 Speaker 1: back than that. Tony Parlor had had one hundred less 935 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:08,359 Speaker 1: carries than Zeke has seven hundred yards. It don't make 936 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 1: sense even if you just say, hey, man, combine these 937 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,319 Speaker 1: dudes had seventeen hundred yards. It's guys in the league 938 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 1: who are rushing for seventeen hundred yards of the season. 939 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,080 Speaker 1: We have a better run game than this. We have 940 00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 1: to be able to look at this and say the 941 00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,880 Speaker 1: talent that we have back there in the backfield is 942 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,400 Speaker 1: much better than the numbers that we're showing that are 943 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 1: showing up throughout the entirety of a season, and then 944 00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:31,360 Speaker 1: look at that and say we're forgetting that. Dan Quinns 945 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,120 Speaker 1: on the other side, can do you have the opportunity 946 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,799 Speaker 1: to not have to play that fast, right, You can 947 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:38,480 Speaker 1: run it running and you punt it. You know what 948 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,719 Speaker 1: I'm saying. On the first drive, you can you can 949 00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,560 Speaker 1: trust that your defense is still going to keep you 950 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:46,320 Speaker 1: in the game. Kansas City game. Yeah, we we. In 951 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,640 Speaker 1: my mind, I was like, man, we we gotta score 952 00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:50,560 Speaker 1: because if not, Kansas City is gonna blow us out. 953 00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 1: Step up charges games, same thing. Kellen Moore has has 954 00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 1: a lot of weapons at his disposal, and then he 955 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,800 Speaker 1: also has the weapons of his defense that is able 956 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,719 Speaker 1: to get them the ball back sometimes by getting turnovers 957 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:05,759 Speaker 1: or get them three and outs like we were number 958 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,320 Speaker 1: one and third downs like having number one, so like 959 00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 1: you know, you know, killing we got you, baby. We 960 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,480 Speaker 1: rely on you defense man, run the ball, you know, 961 00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,719 Speaker 1: help your offense out. All right, Well, I'm gonna be 962 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:19,719 Speaker 1: honest with you. I'm a little worried. I'm a little worried, 963 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,880 Speaker 1: but very worried. I'm a little worried. But look, I 964 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 1: mean there's a bigger elephant in the room, and we'll 965 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 1: discuss that when we get back from our commercial break. 966 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,840 Speaker 1: But penalties, how can our boy McCarthy, you know, correct 967 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,560 Speaker 1: that because it kind of hurt us last year, especially 968 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 1: in the playoffs.

But let's back dive back in to 1037 00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:24,200 Speaker 1: this Cowboys football thing and something that kind of bit 1038 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,800 Speaker 1: us in the butt all season and it and it 1039 00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:30,640 Speaker 1: reared its ugly head when we got to the playoffs, 1040 00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,440 Speaker 1: and you know, we kind of kind of knew it 1041 00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,200 Speaker 1: was a problem throughout the season, but it didn't hurt 1042 00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,319 Speaker 1: us until it really hurt us. And that's the penalties. Um, 1043 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:43,839 Speaker 1: we were the most penalized team international Football League last 1044 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:45,680 Speaker 1: year and I'm talking about the Dallas Cowboys and a 1045 00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:49,760 Speaker 1: lot of those penalties we're in the trenches, whether it's holding, 1046 00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,759 Speaker 1: you know, you know, fall starts offside. We're even having 1047 00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,560 Speaker 1: some defensive holdings on the defensive line, which you know 1048 00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:59,320 Speaker 1: how that works. But it was happening. So McCray, I 1049 00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:05,040 Speaker 1: asked you this this, How does Mike McCarthy fix this problem, 1050 00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:06,919 Speaker 1: because it is a problem that these guys are having 1051 00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,600 Speaker 1: with these penalties because they're they're not just you know, okay, 1052 00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:11,680 Speaker 1: it's first first down, we get you know, a five 1053 00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,120 Speaker 1: five yard or a five yard heads starts so or 1054 00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:15,839 Speaker 1: false starts so you have to go back five yards. 1055 00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,800 Speaker 1: It's happening on third down, the money downs. There's holding. 1056 00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,920 Speaker 1: It's just and it's not It's something that these players 1057 00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,680 Speaker 1: can control. You can control that by having better techniques. 1058 00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:27,640 Speaker 1: So how does the head coach, Mike McCarthy battle this 1059 00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,919 Speaker 1: penalty's problem because we don't want that to go into 1060 00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,360 Speaker 1: next year and then end up biting us in the 1061 00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,080 Speaker 1: butt again. Yeah, I think you just said it. You 1062 00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,719 Speaker 1: have to go well, you should have already gone into 1063 00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:41,319 Speaker 1: OTAs and then mini camp, going into training camp knowing 1064 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,759 Speaker 1: that from the top down, Mike McCarthy has to communicate 1065 00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:49,000 Speaker 1: to his position coaches, the defensive line coaches, the offensive 1066 00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,120 Speaker 1: line coaches. Like you said, a lot of these penalties 1067 00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:53,840 Speaker 1: happened in the trenches because guys are out of position. 1068 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,040 Speaker 1: Their technique is a little bit off and it only 1069 00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,239 Speaker 1: takes a little bit for when you're playing a guy 1070 00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:00,640 Speaker 1: like Aaron Donald for him to be you inside and 1071 00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:02,799 Speaker 1: you have to grab in order to save a guy 1072 00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:05,400 Speaker 1: like that Dak Prescott from getting injured or sacked. All right, 1073 00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,080 Speaker 1: So you gotta start with this and your footwork in 1074 00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:11,080 Speaker 1: your hand placements when you don't have pads on, because 1075 00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,000 Speaker 1: that is all you can work on at that point. 1076 00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,080 Speaker 1: You have to make sure that your hand placement and 1077 00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,880 Speaker 1: your foot and your footwork is correct because if it's not, 1078 00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,120 Speaker 1: that puts you behind the eight ball as soon as 1079 00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:23,640 Speaker 1: the ball is snap, and then you have to hold 1080 00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,880 Speaker 1: these players accountable without it. On those pre snap penalties, 1081 00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:31,279 Speaker 1: those false starts, those those those off sides, Those things 1082 00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,719 Speaker 1: that you can control just by focusing look at what 1083 00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,319 Speaker 1: you're supposed to be doing on that play. Those are 1084 00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,200 Speaker 1: the ones that Mike McCarthy has to hold these players 1085 00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,040 Speaker 1: accountable on. Right. Sometimes you're gonna get those penalties where 1086 00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:46,000 Speaker 1: you're just playing very hard and it might be ticky tacky, 1087 00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:48,759 Speaker 1: and it can go either way based off how the 1088 00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:51,480 Speaker 1: referee is feeling on that play. But the ones, the 1089 00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:55,319 Speaker 1: pre snap penalties, those are the ones that are almost inexcusable. Yeah, 1090 00:50:55,520 --> 00:51:01,680 Speaker 1: false starts at home and inexcusable excuse. Randy Gregory tackling 1091 00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:06,120 Speaker 1: the guy and getting a defensive holding inexcusable. Those are 1092 00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:09,160 Speaker 1: the ones that I think that Jerry Jones is talking 1093 00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:10,719 Speaker 1: about when he says these are this is what we 1094 00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,120 Speaker 1: need to fix during the season. That's not what I 1095 00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,359 Speaker 1: want to hear after the season. You cannot watch those 1096 00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 1: players and say, man, you know that that guy was 1097 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:20,520 Speaker 1: just playing hard and I can forgive that na that's inexcusable. Now, 1098 00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:25,520 Speaker 1: those defensive holding, illegal contact. Sometimes that type of stuff happens, 1099 00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:27,080 Speaker 1: but if some of the stuff is an excuse, when 1100 00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,560 Speaker 1: I think those are the ones specifically that Mike McCarthy 1101 00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:31,880 Speaker 1: needs to make sure they get cleaned up before we 1102 00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,520 Speaker 1: get into the season, because you see another season like that, 1103 00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,160 Speaker 1: it's gonna be some trouble coming down from some people 1104 00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,080 Speaker 1: lose a couple of jobs. You see this going on 1105 00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:42,040 Speaker 1: because because not only did the penalties happen throughout the year, 1106 00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:45,160 Speaker 1: but it's like they we had our worst penalty displayed 1107 00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:47,320 Speaker 1: in the biggest game of the year against the forty 1108 00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,400 Speaker 1: nine ers, and and look, I can understand aggressive penalties, 1109 00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,480 Speaker 1: like if you know guy's going up, a receiver's going 1110 00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,520 Speaker 1: up for a ball, and the DB's just trying to 1111 00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:56,759 Speaker 1: dislodge him from the football, so he hits them hard 1112 00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:58,200 Speaker 1: and maybe he got a little bit of his helmet 1113 00:51:58,239 --> 00:51:59,920 Speaker 1: in there. I can see that. I mean, it's football, 1114 00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,120 Speaker 1: you know. It's hard to kind of pinpoint accurate where 1115 00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,399 Speaker 1: your shoulder is gonna land, especially if the offensive players 1116 00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:07,239 Speaker 1: running with the football and he ducks his head as well. 1117 00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:09,680 Speaker 1: So I can see stuff like that. But to me, 1118 00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,760 Speaker 1: it's the penalties, like you said, that are just self 1119 00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,920 Speaker 1: inflicting mounds. You know, fall start. There's no way you 1120 00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:19,120 Speaker 1: should as an offensive lineman half fall starts out there. 1121 00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:22,120 Speaker 1: You're in the huddle, the quarterbacks looking dead at you, saying, look, 1122 00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:24,879 Speaker 1: we're going on too, we're going on first sound. I'm 1123 00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:27,000 Speaker 1: gonna try to draw them off sides right here. You 1124 00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,440 Speaker 1: should be able to hold your water defensively, d line. 1125 00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:33,320 Speaker 1: You're looking at the football. It ain't like you're just 1126 00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:35,320 Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna guess this now you are looking 1127 00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,239 Speaker 1: at the football. Those are the type of penalties to me, 1128 00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:41,800 Speaker 1: as well as holding that, they're just self inflicting and 1129 00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,839 Speaker 1: you cannot go about your season now where it's gonna 1130 00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:47,200 Speaker 1: crumble like it did for us. So to me, I'm 1131 00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,719 Speaker 1: one hundred percent with you. Mike McCarthy has got to 1132 00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:52,440 Speaker 1: keep these players accountable. You can't go out there, a 1133 00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,520 Speaker 1: player can't go out there. I jump side off sides 1134 00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:58,440 Speaker 1: on the third and four. Now it's first they're not. 1135 00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:01,279 Speaker 1: Now if it's you know, first and twenty or third 1136 00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:03,879 Speaker 1: and twenty and the guys like jumped off side, it's 1137 00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,959 Speaker 1: third and fifteen, okay, But if it's third and three 1138 00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:09,399 Speaker 1: and you're jumping off sides and giving them a whole 1139 00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,279 Speaker 1: first down, those are things that the coach has got 1140 00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:14,960 Speaker 1: to keep these players accountable. And it's gotta be like, hey, man, 1141 00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:16,840 Speaker 1: come sit by me for a second, because I got 1142 00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:18,919 Speaker 1: to talk to you about this penalty, because not only 1143 00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,759 Speaker 1: are you hurting a team, but just the morale you've 1144 00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:24,160 Speaker 1: been out there on the football field. You know, defensively, 1145 00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,600 Speaker 1: you're it's hard. It's hard out there to going against 1146 00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:28,479 Speaker 1: the offense. So when you have them on a third 1147 00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:31,160 Speaker 1: and let's just say third and four, third and three, 1148 00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:33,880 Speaker 1: and you give them an easy first down, I mean, 1149 00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,239 Speaker 1: that's just just demoralizing for the defense overall. So I'm 1150 00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:39,600 Speaker 1: with you one hundred percent. McCarthy has got to keep 1151 00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:43,000 Speaker 1: these players accountable. Yeah, and the players also have to 1152 00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:45,759 Speaker 1: hold themselves accountable as well. Guys like the Marcus Lawrence, 1153 00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,400 Speaker 1: guys like Michael Parsons, they have to have that respect 1154 00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:51,359 Speaker 1: in the locker room and say the guys that are 1155 00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:54,160 Speaker 1: playing with them, they should have the respect to say, man, 1156 00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:56,440 Speaker 1: I'm going to make sure I'll do my job because 1157 00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:58,600 Speaker 1: I don't want to let them Michael Parsons down. I 1158 00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:00,480 Speaker 1: don't want to let them de Marcus Lawren. I don't 1159 00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:03,640 Speaker 1: want to let these guys down, and they might put 1160 00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:06,040 Speaker 1: me off the field, especially coming in as a rookie, right, 1161 00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:10,320 Speaker 1: the rookie should almost fear, yeah, making those type of mistakes. 1162 00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:13,320 Speaker 1: And that's coming from de Marcus Lawrence and the Michael Parsons, 1163 00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,160 Speaker 1: those veterans in that locker room because they know that 1164 00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:17,719 Speaker 1: they're going to have to hear it. So you're saying 1165 00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:19,400 Speaker 1: it's not only the coaches that got to keep it, 1166 00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:21,520 Speaker 1: but the players. The leaders in that locker room also 1167 00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,880 Speaker 1: got to keep these guys accounting. A defensive lineman, yes, absolutely, 1168 00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:27,879 Speaker 1: they should be like, hey, man, listen, I'm gonna jump 1169 00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:30,400 Speaker 1: if I jump outside this time. De Marcus Lawrence is 1170 00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,279 Speaker 1: coming to give me an ear fool, all right, So 1171 00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:34,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make sure that I do my job one 1172 00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:38,560 Speaker 1: because that's my responsibility. That's what we've been working on 1173 00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:41,080 Speaker 1: that practice. I owe it to my teammates to do 1174 00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,239 Speaker 1: everything in my power to make sure that I stay 1175 00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:47,560 Speaker 1: on side first and then do my job right. Yeah. 1176 00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:49,440 Speaker 1: I mean you were there when we were young players 1177 00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:51,160 Speaker 1: in the rookie first year in the league, and we're 1178 00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:53,640 Speaker 1: going with you know, guys like the Marcus Ware and 1179 00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:57,239 Speaker 1: Bowing and Hatcher and those, you know, veterans that were 1180 00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:00,200 Speaker 1: super established in the National Football League. When you made 1181 00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:01,759 Speaker 1: a mistake out there, they let you know about it, 1182 00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:03,400 Speaker 1: you know, whether it's hey man, come here, let me 1183 00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:05,759 Speaker 1: highl at you, or if it's tough love, like hey man, 1184 00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,640 Speaker 1: get you you know what together, because we're gonna count 1185 00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:10,960 Speaker 1: on you to make plays for this defense. So I'm 1186 00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,320 Speaker 1: with you one hundred percent. It's not only on the coach, 1187 00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:15,120 Speaker 1: it's got to be on the leaders in that locker 1188 00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,640 Speaker 1: room as well. Absolutely, And I think we got the 1189 00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:19,400 Speaker 1: right guys. I think we got the right guys. I 1190 00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:22,320 Speaker 1: think Michael Parsons has already grown into that guy. I 1191 00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,960 Speaker 1: think guys are looking up to the way that he plays. 1192 00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:27,839 Speaker 1: There was always de Marcus Ware saying, Hey, man, if 1193 00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:29,800 Speaker 1: you want to know how you should be playing tomorrow, 1194 00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:33,240 Speaker 1: watch me watching me the FI. You want an example 1195 00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,080 Speaker 1: of how hard you need to play, the intensity that 1196 00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:38,799 Speaker 1: you need to play with, watch the way that I play. 1197 00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:41,400 Speaker 1: I think Michael Parsons is that guy, and it's proven 1198 00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:44,560 Speaker 1: by a veteran like DeMarcus Lawrence saying I've been watching 1199 00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:48,200 Speaker 1: this young kid play and he is instill something in me. 1200 00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,120 Speaker 1: He lit a fire in me to like I need 1201 00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:52,880 Speaker 1: to play a little bit hard. That's the greatest compliment 1202 00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,080 Speaker 1: a young guy can have, like when you got an 1203 00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:57,600 Speaker 1: established vet like a d law saying, you know what, 1204 00:55:57,800 --> 00:55:59,840 Speaker 1: this kid right here, he's making me step up my 1205 00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,840 Speaker 1: level as a player. That's one of the best accompliant 1206 00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:05,799 Speaker 1: or one of the greatest compliments a young guy can have. Now, 1207 00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:07,200 Speaker 1: before we run out of time, I only know we 1208 00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:09,919 Speaker 1: only got about two minutes left, but I gotta get 1209 00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:13,319 Speaker 1: your thoughts on its NBA Finals. I know it's it's 1210 00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:16,080 Speaker 1: not football, it's not Cowboys, but it's been a good 1211 00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,759 Speaker 1: finals so far to too. Golden State just one of 1212 00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:21,480 Speaker 1: the last one in Boston. I'm a basketball guy. I 1213 00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:23,160 Speaker 1: like basketball. I wish I was a couple of inches 1214 00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:24,520 Speaker 1: had maybe I would have been able to play in 1215 00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:27,600 Speaker 1: the league. But that's all you need. A couple Okay, 1216 00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:30,279 Speaker 1: that's all. I saw you, I saw you. I was 1217 00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:32,560 Speaker 1: that was years after that was I ain't touched a 1218 00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:34,680 Speaker 1: basketball in years. And then we got to LA. It's 1219 00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:37,920 Speaker 1: like ding riding a bike. Like all right, anyway, like 1220 00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:44,719 Speaker 1: eight points that he was only playing a twelve But 1221 00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:47,600 Speaker 1: what are your thoughts? I mean, Chef Curry cooked it 1222 00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:49,720 Speaker 1: up last game. I think he had like forty three points, 1223 00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:51,880 Speaker 1: one of his career highs in the playoffs, especially in 1224 00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:55,000 Speaker 1: the finals. You got Golden State winning this time. Man, 1225 00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:57,319 Speaker 1: they are in Golden State tonight. Yeah, they in there, 1226 00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:00,680 Speaker 1: So I actually do have Golden State winning tonight. I 1227 00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:02,759 Speaker 1: think it's going to Game seven. I think Boston would 1228 00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,520 Speaker 1: win when they go back to Boston. And I was 1229 00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:11,160 Speaker 1: just squad though. Yeah, after Ray left, it was over 1230 00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:13,560 Speaker 1: for me. You know what I'm saying. I'm just enjoying 1231 00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:16,960 Speaker 1: the fact that we have actually two fresh teams, all right, 1232 00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,920 Speaker 1: and that's the Golden State Warriors without KD. Right, they 1233 00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,600 Speaker 1: had a couple off years and then you got Boston. 1234 00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:24,920 Speaker 1: Usually you see like a Golden State with Kadi, or 1235 00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:27,120 Speaker 1: you assumed that Brooklyn was gonna be in the Singing 1236 00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,400 Speaker 1: Lebron was gonna be in it. We have two teams, 1237 00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:32,560 Speaker 1: very good teams that play totally different types of types 1238 00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:35,160 Speaker 1: of styles of basketball, and they locked up at two 1239 00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:36,840 Speaker 1: and two right now. So I'm excited to be able 1240 00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:38,680 Speaker 1: to watch the game the night and see who's gonna win. 1241 00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:41,200 Speaker 1: But I think I know, like guards, Steph Curry probably 1242 00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:43,600 Speaker 1: has to be one of the most frustrating things on earth, 1243 00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:46,800 Speaker 1: Like the man pulling up from half court and you're like, 1244 00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:48,960 Speaker 1: this dude really might make it, like and he makes it. 1245 00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:52,120 Speaker 1: I'm just gotta be so frustrated. But I hope bost 1246 00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:54,320 Speaker 1: to win because I'm gonna be honest with you, Steph 1247 00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:56,960 Speaker 1: Curry and that mouthpiece just chewing it off, shimmy and 1248 00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:00,479 Speaker 1: everywhere that is getting on my last nerves. Need somebody 1249 00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:02,760 Speaker 1: to knock him off his thrown and hopefully Box I got. 1250 00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:04,720 Speaker 1: I got Boston winning in seven. Yeah, I need it. 1251 00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:06,360 Speaker 1: I got Boston winning in the seven. But I think 1252 00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:08,600 Speaker 1: Golden State is gonna take the night. Steph Curry's on fire. 1253 00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:12,320 Speaker 1: At the moment, you know, they just gotta find a way. 1254 00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:16,320 Speaker 1: They gotta find the way, find the way. Draymond may 1255 00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:22,000 Speaker 1: give them away yea terrible and hopefully the Cowboys find 1256 00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:24,200 Speaker 1: a way to repeat on the defensive side of the 1257 00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:30,080 Speaker 1: football like they did last year with Dan Yea.
