Cowboys Break: Position Battles

The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

Cowboys Let's go. Are you ready for a break?

Yes?

Are you ready for a break?

Absolutely?

Ready for a break?

Yeah, and so much for that.

It's time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. Right with Ambar Garcia, Brian brought us Votch Lombardi and Derek Eagleton.

Hello, guys, welcome back to another episode of the Break, presented by LG. And Derek is not here today. I heard watch Lombardi's name in the intro. That's the first time I hear it.

Big Voice guy held us down today. I know it was on that last time, but last time I didn't hear. People came to me and say, yo, vat did you hear Big Voice guy say your name. It's like, no, You'll never let Big Voice guy say my name.

Abby, Damn.

Big Voice guy didn't say my name twice. I guess I'm part of the crew. Now.

That's exciting goodness, I tell you what.

Yeah, rough little whistle, there we go.

Don't hate Brian bro I'm sorry they've me.

Saying your name for thirty years.

So them with some f bombs behind my name.

How to say it.

Is?

They've been saying Brian.

Since nineteen ninety nine.

I don't know how to say nineteen ninety nine experis, but but thirty years for sure? Cowboys? Go ahead, please, I'm sorry, go ahead, Oh.

Boy, Bucho Viejo right with that old We're just taking this show over, k Hody, let Ambar talk please?

All right?

Well, before we do the one started, just wanted to give a shout out to Derek. He's not here today, but his baby boy is graduating.

Congrats, Congrats, congrats.

I can imagine he's being very emotional right now, but congratulations to him and his whole family. That's very exciting. And for today's show, I was telling much before we started that I have a set of questions that they're just kind of all over the place.

Nothing new has really happened since.

Last week Wheelhouse.

It's nothing too crazy, honestly, But we're gonna start with the first one right now, looking at what the roster currently looks like. And I don't want to get too ahead of myself and talk about training camp, but why not, right sure, which position group currently has the most depth and which is the biggest concern heading into training camp.

I think your offensive land room area again is pretty full. You know, we walked into you know, we walked into the off season thinking that a couple of people were gonna getting a lot of reps and that person was a starter listed as a starter, and the Cowboys made a Hugh Mugs move in a draft to kind of

They can do that.

Plus, there was just this group of guys that were just signed how came Identergy and you know Charles that came out of retirement. So you know, there's a gang of offensive line here. So if you're talking about real competition, a lot of those guys maybe not at the top of the old line room, but the bottom of the room is definitely gonna be, you know, fighting for their life.

Watch real quick on the depth of that offensive line though, Yes, sir, and you mentioned some guys coming like retirement guys and guys that are kind of being bouncing around the league. But do you feel like there's somebody out of that backup group that is going to emerge as one of the ten the weekly maybe at ninth or tenth guy that we're gonna talk about, Oh man, this is our swing tackle, this is our swing We kind of think like Hoffmen and guys like that.

One of those guys that they've.

Brought in, Jones, some of those guys gonna be a a vital piece.

Is gonna have to be a tackle. Brian.

I don't I don't see this world where somebody takes big Tyler's job or Booker's job, or you know, BB's done his job at center guy, and we know who Brock is. But if there's any question mark, if there's any question mark on his offensive line right now, it's your left tackle.

Now.

I think Tyler Guiden will be fine. He just needs, you know, he just needs to get a little bigger and strong. And we saw him a little bigger and a little strong. We got a little more time for him to lift some weights and stronger, eat some peanut butter. But we got to see got to.

See crustables need to come into play real fast. Right.

But you know, if you just lay it all out, I don't see a world where Sadiq Charles is taking Tyler either either Tyler's job right, But what if Austin Richards has a rediction.

That's what I want to talk about there, And I know Ambart's a great question, but I want to talk about I want to talk about Austome Richards stuff. I think it's about time for Awesome Richards to step up really and all of a sudden, we've noticed him at camps before, a g You and I we've all there, We've all stood out there and like, oh, look at Awesome Richards. That one on one rep. That's pretty good there. Oh you know what I'm saying, you'll get a chance.

Now, how Bryant, how good does Austome Richards have to be to seat Tyler Guide? Because they're gonna give Guide every opportunity to the job. However, we saw Tyler Guid and got a little healthy last year and was still taking.

Coaches fighting for their jobs.

Coaches fighting for their jobs there, that's a hey, we have to we have to win, we have to cover, we have to do They were they weren't going to they they weren't going to play that kid. It's a shame did it all went down that way? But you had coaches fighting for their jobs that that wasn't gonna happen.

So whether it be guided playing poorly or if Awesome Richards just emerges, right, that's that's really how good does Auesome Riches have to be in order for us to go all?

Right?

That was the previous playing Awesome Richards is killing it right now like a like a Dak Prescott, Tony Romo. We can't deny a young kid anymore. How good does awesome have to be?

I think it comes down personally For me, it comes down to consistency. Can you consistently be good? Because I think he's shown traits of being good and what he could be. But to me what I've seen, it just hasn't been consistent. Now that has to do with how much opportunities, how much playing time do they give him? And you already talked about that. What was happening last year.

What's kind of happened with Bass and all those guys and Nathan Thomas and those guys.

What's gonna happen to see the.

Nathan Thomas one? We don't really know about there. My hope is that Nathan Thomas is a guard. You know, we always talk about in college football the red shirt where you don't you know, you maintain your eligibility, but you don't play that year.

What you do then is you go into the weight room, you do all these things.

Hopefully's the diet, the meals, working with you know, the extra work that he's getting with the strength coaches and you know, the trainers and stuff like that. Hopefully he comes back as a different guy that way, because we once he got to camp, it's like it was just very very brief. Oh he's over on field too, he's overdoing this, he's overdoing you know, we didn't get to see that player that we maybe thought that came out of Louisiana when they drafted him.

So my hope is that all of a sudden.

He's competing with Hoffman, He's competing with bass. I think Hoffman's on this team because I think he's your backup center. So that's where now everybodybody else, I think is free game. If I could circle back though about with about with what's going on with Geyton, I think Giton is going to have more rope than than than maybe anybody else that competes with him at that spot. You know, I really really really do, because I think that they want

Also, that's the nature of when you're drafted in the first round. Sure rope is going to be a little longer than so it's going to be an interesting Smith petition there as it was kinda it's kind of.

Trust more trust.

We can feel this whole saving watch this, Uh, ladies and gentlemen, Brian bro bar Garcia, if I could just name another unit that's kind of packed up in there, and I think it's gonna bring a little bit of controversy come camp times.

Those edges. You know you you you you draft a guy. Micha is a guy.

Dante Fowler is a guy that was here and he wasn't really you know, he wasn't really utilized properly. Confusing he goes to Washington Football Wizards.

The football Wizards, we've learned about.

Double digit sack guy. I imagine he's gonna come back here and he'll be used as a double digit sack guy. Marshawn Kneeling, young guy, Peyton Turner. It's probably gon be like a rundown guy for you. What does this leave Sam Williams. That's why I'm asking you, guys, where does this leave Sam Williams? In this this room full of full of edge guys, full of past rush. And you can only rotate and and and bring so many of those guys.

To the bus. What about what about edge? Do we do?

We do?

We do?

We lose somebody that we didn't think woul that we didn't think that we would lose.

Right, I wonder how much rope that Sam Williams has. See That's the thing about it is with Sam. And I'm sure there's people watching this right now and saying, hey, brought us you cut Sam Williams.

He will be on someone's roster, you know, blah blah blah.

We saw it with Randy Gregory, Yeah we saw you know. That's exactly right. Guy's got a lot of talent. But Ambar says, how about some consistency, Give me some consistency, you know, go out there. There's times where he's flashed. That's what scarre scouts to death. So all of a sudden you see this flash player and you're like going, whoa wait a minute, this guy and then you know,

Absolutely, I think that's the consensus and a lot of people that watched that. But I think Sam Williams, obviously his injury came at a really bad time for him, terrible, terrible time, and he.

Was might not a way got valor if if you had a guy like that and.

He was ascending.

But at the same time, something that I think he embodies what the Cowboys look for in a guy that represents the star. And this goes beyond the field. What you don't see, it happens behind the scenes. He's a guy that has been showing up consistently last year, even though he wasn't on the field and he was recovering, he was always there. He was always and I say always quote unquote, but every time I saw a community event, who was there showing up Sam Williams showing Oh.

I thought you were going to take this another way?

What way?

I thought you were gonna take this in the way that he likes to drive fast and cause problems time because.

For something that happened.

No, no, no, no, I'm just saying I thought you were gonna say, well, we don't.

Really get quick.

He has learned from that experience.

I think when I got a race team, I'd love saying first one.

I think it's changed and he has improved.

Okay, I see what you're doing here. I see what you're doing.

That happens since that incident.

Will effects playing a good way?

Will effect Think that again, if you are committed into showing up to the recovery and the training and with those coaches and training and doing everything that you need to do to get back onto the field, it's.

Going to show up on the field.

Now, penalties and all that crazy stuff that has happened. As far as discipline, I think he's a motivated guy, and I'm rooting for him right now.

This team has has shown you that they have a hard work and wire receiving a hard working right guard. And both those guys got bumped down by better dudes. Shout out of saying I'll we make it because look, we need you, we need you player. But uh boy, it's some It's some guys in that room. And if I had to think about what my NASCAR pass Rushie packager look like, it'll it'll be Micro over there. It'll be Dancy or Michael roaming around somewhere, Dante over there,

We'll see special teams you need to get.

That's you got hurt.

Moving all right, let's go ahead and take our first break. When we come back, we'll continue this conversation and how the roster is currently looking like here with the Cowboys.

Back to the break, LGO led Evo is the best TV in the game, but don't take our word for Digital Trends said that the lgoled G four has the best picture quality they've ever seen. See it for yourself at LG dot com O Ledevo.

Hey, that was better than the last time you did it at training camp.

Well, I've taken like medicine now to help me with my words.

Welcome back to the second segment. This segment is presented by blockchain dot Com. Hey, there we go, all right, next question for you guys to read it slow.

It was good. Thank you for that. Appreciate you.

What does the current roster suggest about the Cowboys launch and vision? Are they building for twenty twenty five playoff, push or laying the groundwork for twenty twenty six again looking at a lot of young talent that they've brought in.

I know what he's going to say, but go ahead, I gotta leave it off. I go ahead, No, go ahead, Well, I mean so polite.

Well, if you're drafting a guard, I'm gonna agree with what he says. If you're if you're drafting a guard and a you know, like a young pass rusher and a running back, that would make me think that they're looking for the future. But you you you rolling some dice, yeah on this pickings thing, you know, and they value third round picks like some teams value first round picks.

To go get George Pickens. I was shocked by this.

And he's on the last deal of his the last year of his deal. Yeah, the Cowboys shooting the dice on this.

Yeah, you're absolutely right, my friend.

That's a situation where too, you know, even look at what they're doing on the defensive side of the ball. With the addition of the linebackers, you know, the defensive line, the guys that they've added there. You know, they've added veteran guys, a couple of guys on some one year deals. Heck, we just talked about Fouler, you know. I mean they've added some guys to try and make a run right

You know.

I think the Cowboys they had a plan for what they wanted to do to trading wise. I think the fact that they stayed aggressive even after the draft, that's big. Going after George Pickens. You know, they said, you know, they saw a situation George Pickens probably not fitting in with what the.

Steelers are doing.

The fact that they even talked about Bateman from the Ravens that's a second round pick, but he wanted more money and stuff like that. So they they're trying right now. The right guard helps the quarterback. The young running back helps the quarterback because he might be the future guy. When this is all said, and done. But look at the things that they were able to do with the wide receiver. That might be a one year rental for

Ah, brother, let me ask you something.

You remember a couple of days ago, Shottenheimer did his you know, press conference or whatnot, and they was like, hey, Shotty, what win to the Pickings thing?

Right?

And Shotty was like, oh, yeah, we did a ton of research and we felt good and we all talked about it, and we all got together as a great big family, talked about George Pickens pulled the trigger. Now he's here. Comparing contrast that to when Mike McCarthy was on the radio one O five three and asked him about Trey Lance and Mike and Mike was like, I didn't even know that they were trade for Trey Lance. Trey Lance just happened to pop up on my doorstep.

Just Trey Lance is here.

Now what do you think about the differences in those two situations? Who like does one have more power than the other or was Mike McCarthy just not interested in team in team building when Schottenheimer is Dan Quinn when he needed help, happening to get all the help that he wants. So now we're here Schottenheimer Draft day, Bryant tapping on the board, fighting for his guys. Right, he has a saying what's going on? He gets these guys.

What do you say about what I just said?

Well, again, looking back at that first press conference that where the Cowboys were introducing Schottenheimer as a new head coach and something that they talked about and that Jerry Jones mentioned that he gained a lot of respect from Brian because times where he knew when to keep his mouth ghost. Yeah, but that didn't mean he wasn't aware of what was happening, and when the time came, he let it all out and talked and really voiced his opinion. I think that just it instilled a lot of respect

I just think it's interesting because you know, fans will get on social media and fuss and look, I'm fans also, I'll go out there and fuss like one of the Jones is doing anything. I wonder if Mike was just one of these guys like, hey, just give me the guys and I'll just coach w whatever that you that you get for me, right. But I wonder if the Joneses this whole time, they just had this checkbook waiting,

Yeah, he's not afraid to speak and walk around and say hey, I want this or I want that and voice it. And I think when you walk around with confidence, it just it changes the environment that you're starting to create around you. So I'm excited to continue to see

Man?

Do I need to go into my film? MafA? Well, no, it's I'm saying though, but late draft pick?

Right? Is that? Was that the question?

Late draft pick?

Yeah?

I know you're going to say the Auburn tight end. I know what you're gonna do there. I'll let you explain that one. Uh, the I could say I'm interested in Vatch and I were doing our show last night and we were talking about this. I want to be really, really really wrong about film MafA. I want to be

I'd love to be proven wrong about that.

One as far as mine.

You know Brown, we already talked about this back and forth about this, you know fair Weather from Auburn.

Right, yeah, tight end. Sometimes it's not about how good.

Your quarterback player was all over the place. They're terrible, terrible.

Sometimes it's not about how how good you are versus the whole team. Right, he may be the seventy something best player on his team, it doesn't matter. It's about his room and his role in that room. That's why I think it's going to give him an easier route to the team or whatnot. Right, Because if you're a let's say you're a pass rush, you gotta go against the three other pass rushers. There's Michael Parsons is there, Donovan is there, Dante. It's tough for a young pass

We thought John Stevens was John Stevens, and we were ready to give that to John Stevens absolutely. You know, previously it'll be like hendershot of something. He'll be the downfield kind of guy.

But John Stevens torn a cl and then he tore it again, or tore the same or just tore two different al I don't know. He's coming off a cl right now. So if you're fair Weather, you don't have to be better than Ferguson or Luke or Dak Prescott. You just got to beat John Stevens, yeah, coming off ACL new coaches, whatever, whatever. And they're the same kind of guy, that same vertical downhill guy. So if you're Fairweather, just make a couple more plays, just don't drop pass

Make this team.

It'll be a fun training camp for sure. Let's go ahead and take our final break, and when we come back, will continue discussing some of these position battles that we are expected to watch during training camp.

If you can't be at the stadium, there's no better way to watch your Cowboys than on an lg Oldevo TV.

That's because everything.

You see is more lifelike, every play, every hit, I mean, you might just will be on the sidelines.

Fake, I'll tell you what incredibly.

And get some yetties while you're at it too. They're on this list.

Alright, guys.

Next question for y'all, which position battle should fans watch most closely?

In camp?

Corner, running back or swim tackle which would already?

So let me ask you this, how are you wording battle? For example, this is what I've been talking about, right, If Tyler Booker is in a battle, do you mean the Booker of the battle that he's having with Hoffman or the battle that he's having with Masi or something like like? Which like which battle we're talking about? You won't think about it.

You're going to the script to me, Okay, I No, I'm thinking in general, because I'm thinking, Okay, is anybody actually set one hundred percent? Even when you look at Corner for example, sure.

No, no, even though he's a starter, right.

So it's still like I think all of these positions have question marks around them.

Yeah.

Well, if that's the case, Corner is definitely the room that's that's fighting the most. We have a room full of outside guys.

We don't really have a whole person Butler.

You know, so so you know, and and everybody's knee is hurting. So not only are they, you know, fighting to be better, but they fighting and get healthy first. So that's that's gonna be kind of an issue there. Besides that, I mean, I don't really have a good idea of who your first three corners are, Like, yeah, they're fighting for their spot, but who are those guys

Bryan?

So it trust.

Durron, Bland and Elam are are probably.

The contract year for him, right for sure?

For sure?

So Bland, Elam and Kayln Carson. If Bland is your best guy, do you just throw him in the nickel?

You know?

If Bland is cornerback one, does he travel and then you kind of move those other guys around. I think it's a weird little a weird little battle.

With a corner.

Yeah.

Butler's too, I think I think you have to include Josh Butler in that group too.

Is he healthy? What is he going to back?

I think he's he's healthy.

I think that to me, Like I say, he'll be a part of the part of the I need to I do need to check on him. I'm interested to see what's going to happen.

It's safety And I say that in a in a way.

Of because the previous regime man really really liked Wilson and Hooker, and so now where does this regime stand when it comes to Thomas and Butler?

You know?

And a guy that I almost mentioned is a rookie ambar that maybe a guy that Elijah Clark, you know, the safety from Syracuse. He was a guy that when if you watch him play and if you if you just go on, how much signing bonus the Cowboys gave to these undrafted rookies, he was a top dog. And last you saw last year where span Ford was, he was the top dog. So they think enough of this kid. My gut feeling is this guy probably sat Clark sat pretty high on their draft board.

Yeah.

So if that's the case, sat high on draft board, he got a sizable bonus. Is he competing with Is he trying to knock Thomas out? Who got money? Is he trying to knock Bell out? Who got money? Are they trying to knock Wilson out? Who would be cap savings if you knock him out?

You know that's important.

So yeah, I always you know, Mickey would always say follow the money.

In this case, you might follow the money.

But but I think there's going to be some legitimate competition at the safety spot depending on how guys. I don't think it's I don't think you could put it in pen that Wilson and Hooker are going to be the starters when you open on Thursday night in Philadelphia.

Brian Bros.

Do you think does Brian brod Us think that if Mark He's Bell outplays Donovan Wilson?

I would hope he, I would hope.

What does Brian Bros Think?

Because no, No, hope is hope is terrible plan. Hope is a terrible plan. A lot of hope.

If Mark he's Bell, goes out there, tears it up, whoops it. Yes, he's covering better. Sure does he get the toms?

Sure?

Sure, absolutely, I'll say it because I I do believe. I do believe that Thomas Bell, Clark Clark being new.

I think it's there's a fresh approach now.

I talked to Mike Zimmer for a long time before, you know, before training camp and when we're out there in ox Start, and he was talking about he was saying.

You know, I really like Wilson, I really like you know Hooker.

I'm like, okay, And I said, well, I need to keep my down mouth shut because I was always trying to replace Hooker, you know. And then so but I just kind of feel like Bell and Thomas have to feel like they caught a break here with a new new coaching staff, especially new coaches in the secondary.

There was a lot of times last year or a year before where we'll be having trouble from a coverage you know, and you and you play safety like coverage is what you do. And Cowboy Nation, Cowboy fans were just sitting around tapping a watch, going, man, when are we gonna try something different?

Oh? No, it hadn't always been that way. Yeah.

I took an ass kicking from fans about Hooker and then he got extended and.

Like, oh see what you think, bro? You know, and then then then we get the well he's not playing very well right now, you know, And I'm like, okay, tell him you was right brow, No, I'm not.

That's not the idea is. The idea is though, that you try and get ahead of that, you try and get ahead of paying a guy, and then all of a sudden and it doesn't work out. You could say that right now about Wilson. It just hasn't worked out. Like you know, the Cowboys started with guy's super tough, he's super physical.

But you know, you have to play with instincts.

You have to be able to tackle well, and you can't make mistakes and if they put you in coverage, you can't get it exposed.

These are things you.

Have to kind of think about when you're when you're talking about safety play well, I hope they get a fair shake.

Then, bro, what are people saying in the chat?

Uh that that they're having that, they're having buffering issues.

So y'all watch them.

Get better equipment. Yeah, get better equipment.

You have to watch the podcast.

Oh we gotta pay for y'all salary here, ay me first, and then.

Go and get you get you down white, go ahead, please?

All right?

You mentioned MICHAEH. Parsons earlier and about moving him around a lot. Is it smarter to keep him full time rushing or moving him around like a chess piece.

Well, we've been fighting this fight since we found out that Micah can can pass rush, you know. And uh, some coaches will tell you the coaching philosophical reasons why you shouldn't move him around. And then we'll play Cleveland and Miles Garrett is just stepping walking over your center and you go, damn boy, showed be nice and we can do some of that now.

T J.

Watt doesn't move. He plays on his side. But when you see Miles Garrett just floating around, you just get jealous. Right, So, I think when Michael got most of his sacks, it was him hovering over a gap and b gap. That's when he really got got busy. Something we called on YouTube, find the scrubs.

What we call it right.

Uh.

And something that will bother me is we'll go play the Giants and we'll just line michaeh over Andrew Thomas all pro Andrew Thomas the whole game. It'll make me sick. And look, Michael got sacks on Andrew Thomas. But boy, imagine how many sacks you can get on John Michael Smith if you just line them up over there. So I do think you have to think about the the the you know, base of your defense being you know solid, and we're not gonna move him so much that he's

I just know he's right there.

Yeah, why don't you find a way? And this is choice. I used to say this, you know what, what's coaching? What's what's coaching?

Wait? Paid these guys, we wait what's coaching for? See?

To me, this is where to me moving Mike around and even pairing finding him not I agree with wauch about, hey, find the weakest link on that offensive line and just let it try, but try and do your best to set it up where it's one on one where that weak link can't get help. You know, you move him around, but also pair him with other guys that can pass rush. There's nothing wrong with putting him with Osa and you

It might happen one or twice, one.

Or two times a game, but maybe it's one or two sacks you get in a game, and maybe that's the difference in the game. So yes, move him around, find favorable matchups, but also pair him with other linemen that can that can cause problems and make teams have to deal with blocking two guys to the same side.

Well, Brian Brosley Man ask you is is this the first time Mica has had like a real running mate from from a past rush standpoint, right, like like tank Tank Lawrence.

Hank started going down.

He's always been a great rundown, but he's never been It's been a long time, a long time since double digit sack is double digit sack. Michael hasn't had a double digit sack running mate. Well, we got Dante foul who's a double digit sack guy. Now, you know, Donovan

Kind of feel like.

I know, thanks, don't hurt yourself, buddy.

Oh he does that all the time. I didn't.

I didn't even say because when you say, oh, that's a great question, you're installing to try and figure things something.

To influence his opinion.

Yeah, I just want to know what thought. I just thought it was a genuinely good question, and both of you guys.

What about that?

What about some of his sixteen sack seasons? Though when it was Fowler and Parts, Yeah it was.

It was more so a bunch of guys like Michael would get his sex.

But but they didn't. You didn't, You didn't.

You didn't think of Darence Armstrong as a sack guy. You didn't think as a sack guy. You got sack guys. Now that's asking is this his best group of set guy? I don't know what the run defense is gonna look like. I hope eber Flu's got some magic. Does he can just spring along everybody and just run game?

Just I think I think that dealt with I think that's gonna come down Overshown was going to be a pass rusher for see that.

Apparently Shamar James is gonna be a pass ords. Is this the best group of past?

See that's the thing with Tjamar James that we saw at at Florida. We were worried about. And we're not getting to see every single practice. You know, once a week you get to see a practice. Maybe the other practices he's messing up things. But it sounds like to me he didn't play with a lot of instincts at Florida. So what you say, put them as a will linebacker, let them rush, So maybe that's something.

That you need to do.

I think overall, if you look at potentially with Osa being a pass rusher Parsons, as we've mentioned, I think that even you know, I think that it's kind of we'll see, you know, with the Fowlers obviously going to give you give you some stuff there. I don't know if it's the best group he's played with.

You know.

What the difference is, I think is that going into it, you you in your mind kind of know what to expect based on their previous experience, as opposed to the previous group. Not from last year, but like a couple of years before you didn't know what to expect, but then they were shining and make it happen. That's the difference. It's like one is you have guys that has shown it before versus the others that it just kind of happened without you necessarily respecting me.

Doris Armstrong getting nine sex wasn't on anybody.

Okay, see that's it. As Araco be that guy. I mean that that to me.

If you want to ask me that question, and I'm thinking about Okay Faller as Roku, I'm thinking about these guys.

I'm thinking but we don't know.

I mean, we've seen him at the collegiate level have huge success.

So now is Donovan as the third pass rusher and if you're let's say you're doubling Michael or Michael has some actual attention that now Donovan is Aroku gets the better looks, the better one on one looks.

Yeah, if Eiraku could be a factor as a pass rusher with Fowler, maybe we'll see with Sam Williams how that all plays out and stuff like that. But you know, if you if if Israku then shows up, like you know, we think that he all might, then I would say, yeah, but we'll have to see Ezerako be that guy.

One last point too, is I know Ambarre ready to get up out of here. One last point is I'm a person if this offense scores the way that it that it should and the defense against so many more opportunities to.

That's that's yeah, that's the key. You You've got to find a way that you can't be in. I didn't want to say that.

What else is there to say?

That you think you think you know long reach bottom.

You're gonna have to ice dot arm.
