Cowboys Break: Safe at Safety?

in Oxnar. I am joined by Nick Eatman David Hellman, and we have a graded Derek's position to mister Nate Newton. If you guys don't know who this guy is, then help you google. What about the key? I mean, what an episode we've got. We've got Nate and the Keys. Well, you see, Dave just could not help it today. He felt threatened by nate appearance here today and he did one night to steal the show, and he decided to go out with the Lebron James Lakers jersey. It's a

beautiful morning in the LA area. We got a morning practice and I just felt like repping the goat the best basketball player ever, Lebron. I don't need your bads on today. Oh crap, It's fine. I'll throw it over my shoulder and mess it up your Cedric Saba's jersey. And if you guys can't see, obviously you can't really see. He's wearing some shorts with like zebra Prince. These are my Zoo These are my Zoo bads shorts. Stand up? Wait wait, ohbody's watching anyway? People listen to needless to say,

he looks very um. Rob Phillips told me buy me dinner if I wore this, So he's the easiest dinner I've ever made. Awesome, there you go, I would wear this anyway. Okay, well let's get right in to the show. We're gonna be doing a forty minute show today, cutting it a little bit short since the cowboys will be doing in morning practice today. Padded practiced supposedly, and then

the walkthrough will be this afternoon. Yesterday was kind of somewhat of an not really boring practice, but we kind of slowed down a little bit from what we are used to seeing, maybe getting the boys a little tired at this point. And anyways, just real quick, some news. Randy Gregory. He was on pads and dressed up in Union's form. He didn't really do anything like you know part of individual. That's all the Yeah, we perfect model.

If you want to see what a football player should look like, right, they should put him in back at this Star with the other guys because he would look perfect in his uniform. Maneu Mannequans have done more than he has the last two years. Hopefully we can start actually doing. So what what is the point of getting him in pads and throwing him out there but not

necessarily doing those kinds of things with the team? Um, I think you just don't want a guy that hasn't done anything for two years to rush back out there and then all of a sudden that's they just screams hamstring injury right off the bat. So they're trying to be cautious with us, but at the same time, he does need to kind of show them what he can do. They've been very patient with him, so like, why change it now? You're you're talking about Jason Garrett here, who

is his coach. That's so meticulous that he rehearsed the way that they're going to do stretch line for their game against San Francisco. I mean, if he can find a way to rehearse every single thing, he's going to. So put him in some pads, get him used to the weight of it and the feel of it. Let him do some individuals do. What do you think them You actually, you're the one guy up there that's actually

played it. And if I would agree with that, if the pass way what they're not the same pads you are, no, And the thing, he's hitting dummies harder than he's gonna hit these guys individual, right, they should at least have him an individual working, not one of the I saw was just only he was over there hitting dummies, and those dummies ain't gonna give you no more resistance than

what one of your teammates are. Now. I understand you may not want to get into the rigors of a one on one pass rush or something like that, but this kid came into camp and he hasn't bent over yet. And you know our training staff will push you. You know our wait staff will push you, and they can't make this kid bend over every time I'm next next, So you gotta give him something besides just standing up

looking like a mannequin. Like, for the record, I agree with you, but I'm telling like that that just fits Jason Garrett's emo. You know, step by step, meticulous, cover every aspect of it before to throw them out there. I agree when you say, Jason Garrett, yeah, you know how you're doing, guys. I mean three hundred and eighty five straight days of Hey, I understand how we're doing guys. Yeah, okay, So we're gonna move on to talk some the cornerbacks

of this team. Cheeto, we know he'd been dealing with some knee injury and he was back at it again yesterday. Not sure if I mean, I'm sure the training staff knows what they're doing, but he an. I thought it

was like he was wearing a little knee wrapping. Say he limped off with the little ankle injury, but that was that's not what's been setting right, Okay, he was wrapped up and honestly, to your point, uh, you know, and I'm not trying to question anybody's toughness, but that's just the way this goes a training camp is guy dings himself up. He want to be careful with him

and not compromise him for meaningful reps. I didn't think we'd see Cheeto for at least a week, so it was it was great to see him out I mean, he went through a full practice, he did everything, he looked really good. I guess it was really just a very precautionary thing because I think at the end of

the day he missed one practice. So that's a great sign. Yeah, And now, so I wanted to get into Anthony Brown, who has been uh talked about this last few days since he's been making interceptions on back to back days, consecutive days, and somewhat of a guy that last year didn't necessarily get to the expectations that everyone had of him. He dropped a few balls of what could have been interceptions.

Now he's catching some eyes now, and I wanted to see with you guys, how do you guys think that this will affect the hope of having Jordan Lewis step in. We had talked about him maybe taking that role away from Anthony Brown, but as of right now, it looks like a very It's a good problem to have when you have two guys that are really good. But just your opinion of how this is gonna be. Yeah, cornerbacks, Jordan Lewis Anthony Brown. You know, this is this is

what I call great competition. Because we started this this deal before OTAs we thought that Jordan Luisabille staughter. Okay, they bring in Jones and knocked him to the to the slot. All this seen, he said, Okay, Jordan's say, hey, he's the third guy. Don't worry about starting now. He's the fourth guy. Anthony Brown and talking to him what Rashard Chris Sharad, what his name Rashard is done? Listen

to her, you know accent? So hey, when you look at these guys, man, he teaches them within what they can do. Uh. He don't teach a certain technique that you have to do, whereas last year they had a certain technique they wanted you to do certain situations. He allows them to play and he tweaks them. That helps guys like Anthony Brown, Cavan Fraser. Uh, too mature and he's found the rhythm because if you look at the first few days of practice he didn't look too well.

But as over there as the training camps go, you get better, you get better and not be seeing him there here's and you're not You're not wrong at all. You're absolutely right, but it's you know, you tend to think of it from one side, as we all expect Jordan to be the starter because of where he was drafted. The fans want it. Uh, it's it's this storyline that's like, well, hey, third round pick played well last year, why isn't he starting? And don't think for a second that Anthony Brown doesn't

know that, because I talked to him last night. That dude seems mad. Uh not like not not in a bad way at all, but he knows that everybody in the world wants to take his job away, Like it was readily apparent from talking to him, and he was basically he's like, yeah, a lot of people forget that I can play pretty well, like and I guarantee you. He also knows he had his struggles last year, but he's looked pretty good in this last week at camp.

He's got three picks in the last two days. Uh, he's been he was playing outside for a little bit while Cheeto was out. He's primarily been the starter in the slot. He I think his style it works with Chris Chard because he wants him to be aggressive, but he's not. Too many guys had the speed Anthony Brown has. He he was clocked one and once. I think I guess at the combine around four two nine. I mean,

that's that's speed. That that's track speed. So you can you can make you can catch up when you can run like that, so that that allows you to be a little closer and take risk and then all of a sudden, you get beat by a step or two, you can catch up because you've got that kind of speed, which I just it's gonna be a fascinating battle because at the end of the day, I think they're both capable of doing it. I think they've both had their

moments here at camp. But yeah, to my point, like Anthony Brown knows the narrative, I guarantee you he does, and he's gonna it. Sounds like he's working like hell to to fend that off. It's three guys, Jeff Hea, Xavier Wood, and Anthony Brown, all of them guys, and I've talked to two of the other guys. They feel the same way. They're not mad, but they know that somebody's taking coming to take their job, whether it's a gout or the team, whether it's a guy on this team.

They feel that way, and they're competing hard and they're playing fast, and Chris Rashad gives them opportunity within this scheme to do what they need to do and take advantage of the speed. We didn't take advantage of Anthony brown speed last year by letting him press a little bit, let him take some chances. But when he messed up, we should you know, we let the world know it.

Yeah and yeah, I mean to that point, I think it's great when you have when you challenge the guys and never let them get too comfortable, because then once they get comfortable, that's where mistakes start happening. And something really interesting that I thought Anthony Brown. We know about Saint Geliles and his little drill that he has the wide receivers carried those bricks and basically to work on that grip and strangen those fingers. And to me, I

think it's been working. Having seen Terms Williams really dropping passes, so catching the ball and Anthony Brown decided to pick up the bricks after practice and you know, uh do his little work himself. And apparently this is a drill that seems to be working for those Hans. You know, Anthony Brown almost lost the game for him last year when he had a chance to pick off a pass against the Raiders to just secure the win. And he dropped it. The next play was a pass interference penalty.

They were down there about to score and win the game, and then Jeff Heath made the play that he made that goats make so but but we kind of forgot and had to let Anthony Brown off the hook. He's a guy that that he's got this speeded if he could catch at four two nine, if you got the speed, he'd be playing wide receiver. He said that last night. You're right. I mean, it wasn't like it wasn't like

the whole dB staff went over there. Like he went and got Sanjay's bricks out of the tent and was just carrying him around on his own, and he's catching balls out here. And I asked him about it, and he was like, I should have had seven picks last year, which I don't know if that's true. I have to go back and look, because it had two thousand yards by now. Yeah, exactly. I feel like players are always a little more friendly to the stats than than reality.

But I could have done this. You definitely could have had three or four. Um. So if it looks like it looks like the work that he's doing is translating, uh, I'm excited to see this carry into the priest. Was that the way that it was when when you played, was it like always like man, we yeah, we scored twenty five points, twenty eight points, we could have had

forty two. I mean like you look at it that way, like there's always stuff, you know, there's always a skill position players that look at it that way because we always mashing and pushing on folks and we're just glad when it's over. You know what I'm saying. When you were you playing against a Jerome Brown, Rigi white man, I had Rigid, no sacks, It's the game would have went on out. I'd have really killed him. No, he'd have bitch, you gotta sack, so you just let's just

get out of here. I was thinking about that, Yes, yeah, like all you know, skill players and pass rushers love to like they all wear hoodies and like Zeke had a sleeveless hoodie and a long sleeve shirt and like all this crap on underneath. You look at the O line and it's all just shortly like there's nothing extra. They're like, whatever, man, we just we're gonna block these guys, and like, I don't need to worry about. Ally, You always talking about going up against Reggie and Jerome Brown

and maybe Leonard Marshall. You never see anything about like who was playing for the Cardinals or maybe the Redskins or somebody liked the guy the Harvey who was EJ. Junior was for itself. I mean they asked, but the guy was the Hall of Fame a corner, you know, I can't think of his name. Yes, Williams. Yeah, that was it. Yeah, I mean, I mean they had they had a few stuns, had Roy Green, but he was

at an end of his career, you know. So, Jim Hart, I don't even remember, like I mean, I remember it, but not well that the Cardinals were even an nfcast team. Like all my memories of you talking about brother about the playoffs, you talking about a team that will play you deep into the fourth quarter and then you all you gotta is keep playing and don't make a mistake because they don't give it the find in the fourth quarter. They gonna give it to you, oh man, until the

playoffs when they didn't. Sorry, okay, let's I'm sorry. You know that's what Nick does. It's fine, yeah, a little bit, Yeah, good get on Cardinals break um Nate you mentioned, Hey, that reminds me twenty years ago. I know about twenty twenty years ago. I'm standing a few pounds less than this. I'm just my first year training camp, whichtall falls standing on. There's a goal line drill. They do a sweep to the side, and you know, the pulling guards gotta run.

You run thirty forty yards, gotta hit somebody, hit somebody. Sure what happened in the play. All of a sudden, this lineman just comes running here. I'm just standing here kind of out of the way, definitely out of this guy's way, and Big sixty one just shoves me for no reason. I'm in the media. Pushed me, almost went to the ground, and I like looked over and you were just like, you know, pulling your pants up, like whatever. I hit somebody out here. That was That was me.

Thanks for doing that. You ever? You ever? You know you see the movies Man where they have the avalanche and they just started a snowflake and all of a sudden it just builds up. Yeah, Hey, that's the when a guard pulls around my size back then, and it was training camp and I was trying to get in shape. So when a flap of lanche is on his way, get out of the way. When I was out of the way, but you just still You just wanted to shove me and you couldn't stop. Man, it was a

flats using you to slow down. Yeah, you got me all right on that note, Let's take our first break. When we come back, we're gonna discuss the safety position, not getting to a tall mess. We're gonna talk about the guys we currently have right now, Cavin Fraser and Xavier Woods when we come back.

Back to the break all right, before the Brave we talked about the corners

and a few other things. So now we're gonna get into the safety and we don't have to discuss We always talk about Earl Thomas, a past of all trade, blah blah blah, but we never really touched on the guys that we currently have. We never go and getting too how these guys are looking out here. So Cavn Frasier. We know we had he had that whole blood problem and now he's back on the field problem. That's what

it was. They They did not really want to get a lot more specifically right like what it was like, I mean, and obviously, like when it's a medical issue keeping a player off the field, it's gonna come out. But you know, I don't think Cavan really wanted it out there, didn't want to go into a lot of specifics. I get it, like right now, I don't specifically know what it was other than you know, a problem with his blood so exactly. So that was a good explanation.

You say, got to eat more visible so a figure Clotton, you know, for a guy who missed the first week of camp. I've been really impressed with what I've seen from him. Yes he has. He's been nice, he's been aggressive, he's been up in the box along with Jeff Heath. The guy him standing in the hole is Xavier Woods. I haven't seen him play close up, and I'm not gonna stay on Earl Thomas, but that's another guy Woods.

That feel like, you know what everybody's got Nobody, anybody me and Amber included, Like, I'm not in a sense in this like nobody is satisfied with that right And it would piss me off if I were him. I know that. You know. What Broadest brought to my attention was tackling. Will he be back there in that hole, and will he come up and make the right tackle with he missed will fla he did a few times

during the regular season last year. And when he's out here practicing, he don't come up and assure me that, you know he's gonna be on top of he always putting a hand out there. He better start breaking down and getting on top of people. And you know, because if I'm looking at it, definitely broadest looking at it, don't you know everybody else is looking at it, you know, so he can't will if he can't miss any tackles.

We've talked about it on this show before, but that's something that scares me about just safety in general, is that it's a hard position to evaluate in this setting. Yes it is. You can make the read ten times out of ten, you know exactly where you need to be get to the ball carrier. Are you gonna make the tackle? I mean, you're in position out here and it looks great when you watch it on tape, but

are you gonna make the tackle? And there's no way to know that until you're playing a real game, especially when you're just just topping. Like I said, and they make those noise and they're like that. And that's another reason you know, I'm reserved on Jalen Invanderish because linebackers in safetiest you don't get to know what they are into a game start yep, you know, because they don't get the thump out here and covering a guy they

running behind them a thought. But when you assigned to a guy and you you guy who first got out and you assigned to that guy, you gotta get on him because if you lag like you lag out here, it's a touchdown. So yeah, I was just gonna ask you about like when you played like was it was it completely different? Like you could tell by practice because you guys were more physical or hitting out there. You

can tell you can't. Coaches have a super hell of a job trying to get get a player right because you draft a guy and right away you know we went. We open up our camp with seven on seven. Yeah, seven on seven, but it was inside run. It was our five guys offensive line with a tight end in the running back versus the front seven, and we would

do seven on seven running. But it'd be wide open to be man the first day, man, you you soaking your hands in an alcohol And I'm glad they don't do that now because you don't have enough players to do that. And you would mess up your Sarah cap I mean you would, you would blow up Sarah cap. Hey. You're still the best former player that I've seen in the last thirty techns. Pretty good players just walked by. Who was about him was a great player for what he does and for who he is. Man. But I

think I think Mike is here today too. Yeah, Irvan, I think so well, Nate. You know, it don't matter when it comes to skill position players. Yeah, I prefer to be Larry Allen. And then I was like, yeah, that's my boy. Yeah, I'm saying I hain't even do that. Let's try to go ahead, Copter to get handled hey real quick. We did a top we did a top ten list. Um when when Zack Martin signed his deal, he signed as a new contract, and we said, hey,

who's the ten best of guards in Cowboys history? And you weren't around when we were doing voting and all that, and Larry was number one, and it came down between you and Zach Martin at number two, and he was most athletic. He was most athletic. Who uh, he's he's more athletic than I was. You know, I think it was Brad Schamp said. Nate would probably be the first one to say, Zach will probably be a little bit better. But we had you a solid number three. I'm something, bro.

It don't matter, man, it I've been a Cowboy since i was eleven years old, ten years old, and I've seen so many greats, you know, John Nil and guys like that, you know Rayphield, right, just so many great guys, man, and I'm a part of that. So you know when people go to talking ring them on a Hall of Fame. I get to work with you guys every day, y'all. Notice I don't say much because I'm living my dream. Brother, I mean, not only to be played for the Cowboys.

Now after my career over with working for the Cowboys, I'm chill all the time. Don't matter who number one, who number two. I'm here in the house. Bro, You're the greatest in the house. Well, it's great to have you here. And I just thought you hated me because you're so quiet, But I living the dream. Yeah, yeah, it's good, and I hate that guy that because he's gonna run off with this guy here, but he should stay on helm and then you know the Lebron look alike.

I mean, okay, well, let's backtrack a little bit. Before we got into that. You mentioned the linebacker position Jalen Smith vander Esh, a position that has been a concern for the Cowboys this season, and I wanted to touch You said how hard it is to evaluate them, and it is, but what would be the best way to based on what we watch here to say, Okay, how are they really looking their instincts or their instincts there for both of them? Well, I see Vanderesh come downhill

with the same enthusiasm that Jalen comes downhill. But I see Vanderesh cover better than Jalen. So, Nate, you know, all Jalen has on him is he's played more games, He's been involved in more games. I would like to see this kid play before, you know, I mean in the preseason. Give him three quarters, Let him get play, get tired, so he can get ingrained in his mind, he can become instinctive with the with the scheme we've given Jalen. That not one hundred percent being fair to him.

Because last year he was behind the eight ball. But this year here you can't wait, you know. Coach Marinelli and Jason Garrett said, we got room for all three. No we don't. No, we don't. Because a linebacker to me is like a like a running back. The more they play, the more they see, the more they can play the instincts, the more they can play the scheme. And then they're looking at how the groups that come in and now they can stop making plays. That's what

Sean Lee does. So now we're gonna say, hey, Sean, you've did thirty five players. Let's get you off the field that don't make no sense. You find one of these hammers, man, let him nail down the coffin ship, and that's what we gotta do. I will say like that I have a hard time following like a six time pro bowler, but i will say that one thing I've noticed, and again, it is hard to evaluate these positions. I'm encouraged by the number of guys who look like

they can cover, and I'm not talking about cornerbacks. I'm taught like Layton vander esh has made some plays in these last two practices. Uh Jalen Smith carried Cole Beasley down the field the other day, which I still can't wrap my head around. Um, anything a straight line this kid can do. Yeah, well and is coming back. Yeah, Cavon. Cavon Frasier is another one. He I mean, we know he can thump, That's what you know about Cavon. But he has made some plays in coverage that you know.

I'm not ready to say that he's going be or start with what you got. I know what I'm gonna say though, Thomas. No, I'm talking about him once per segment. But um, it also means that maybe these tight ends can't get open. Yeah, No, that's that's entirely possible. Now, Jason wittenhead experienced on how like I saw a route that even receiver ran where it was in the red zone where I stopped film and I told brought us,

say brought us. If that'd been Jason Witten, he'd ran to the inside number of that guy and then broke out to give itself some space. All they need is experience. What did what I found out they can't do. And I thought Jason Witten wasn't very good at this head end of his career. These dudes can't blocked nobody but Swain. Nope, the rest of them came blocked. No, No, they cannot. Whoa. That's scary now, yeah, especially when can you talk about

this offensive line. They're running game and the blocking tight end is a big part of it as well. And then we got we got Rico Gablers. Man. I mean, this dude a freight train. He only shows up when it's past the situations. Please, man, come on, man, he's trying off the street. He's trying to get he's trying to get on you know, he wants to be on Sports Center. Get those highlights. We're gonna HiPE on him, all right, man, Okay, September one, well, cutting out of

fifty three. Wow? Hey man, hey, Well, so I received the question from Toy which brings me back to Rico Gathers and basically saying, Okay, if Rinco continues to develop and he shows up in the preseason, scores a few touchdown, gets a few yards, a few receptions, it's looking good, would you want the Cowboys to take him and trade him. I'd maybe a fourth round pick or something with him in order to trade something they may put on the street.

When are they going to put on the street. Yeah, they may, because then don't he have some He's gonna be like, uh Flowers or whatever his name twenty eight Showers, Yeah, Showers or whatever career see Flowers. Y'all gotta excuse me, y'all they used to me on my show because if you, if you are somebody and doing your job, I know your name, and that's you know me. I gotta I

gotta know these names because I gotta down. But I'm not a sixty No, I'm serious, Showers, Rico, when you gonna be a perennial, a practice squad guy that don't impress me? What impressed me is if you a Cavan Frasier, a guy that was destined to be on the practice squad but did everything in his power no matter what it was asked of him. He told us on the show to stay. I knew my only chance of making his team with special teams. Why Rico don't feel that way?

Why he don't feel that way? So does your opinion change when you come and look at the four preseason games and see him being doing well, Like you know how lot he tries the block, he'll be better than than the other two received. The other two tight ends, accept my man, Swain, the other two guys are trying. Shultz is gonna get there. He just needs development. Then in that case, you want to keep him on the roster. You would watch this practice squad. I mean, what do

you think. I'm I'm here. We talked about this a little bit because and I hear you, I really do. But if he goes out and has a preseason like he did last year and you can't deny his ability as a downfield threat, maybe you try to find a way to hold onto him regardless of the fact that he's a one dimensional player, and that'll be a challenge for them. And it doesn't sound like something going back to Jason Garrett being meticulous, that doesn't sound like the

type of thing he wants to do. He wants a well rounded tight end who can do everything. He's been spoiled by having Jason Witten for the last twelve years or whatever however long. James, Okay, so we're gonna have two Rico Gathers, the other than being Blake Jarring. Just two tight ends. Yeah, No, it's tricky. That ain't gonna block and then we gonna have one possible rookie is learning how to block, and then we will have sway.

It's how do they both make What if? And this is a big if, but what if you could find a special teams roll big enough for Rico to where he can make enough of a difference. It's like, all right, you're on field goal team, you're on punt team, and you go in in the red zone. That's all we want you to do. I can deal with that. I mean Escobar, somebody here recently. They have no faith at all that they can make it work. Okay, if it came down to those two, Blake Jarwin and Rico Gathers.

We heard the Cowboys talk about Blake Jarwin over and over during the off season. Clearly a guy that they were supporting and rooting for and trusting. Yeah, if it came down to those two, would you not assume that they would go with I would assume they would. But it will depend on what happens in these games, because I mean out here at practice. It's if all we were doing was practicing out here, it would be easy

to cut Rico Gathers. It's right when he goes up against the Bengals and posts five catches, for eighty yards and then you're you're having a different conversation. Well, thank god for I mean, I agree, I elaborate. Oh well, yeah, he's gonna be your yea when you do thirteen personnel on the one yard line. Yeah, he's gonna be. Well. Before we finished the show, I wanted to talk about the nose tackle Antoine Woods real quick. And he's a guy human log ny come back every day, baby, this

is what Eric does. Just yells at the firing Derek does. He's going on other people shows when you have stars. Oh yeah, you like him joining your show? He the bass? Hey, come on in, Hey, come on sir. He was he involved in that fight yesterday. I didn't get a good look at it. Antoine Woods, we're talking about Derek. Oh no, Antoine Woods. I don't thanks. So, yeah, he's tenacious, Bryce, I believe I like his tenacity even if he wasn't involved.

So he's a guy that he came in no one really noticed him, and a guy that you didn't really expect him to be doing much. And now he's getting his name known and he was in case you guys don't know, he's the guy that dared to punch Travis Frederick in the face. So again he keeps his name, keeps bringing up, shining here and being brought up. He's just keep showing up. I'm gonna ask you about that

because he just keep showing up. You told me a story last year about the seventh round pick name le Unlett. Yeah who when he first got here. He's from a small school, Like, who's this guy? And I'm a pro bowler and all that, and he challenged you, he went after you, and I'm sure he earned your respect right away. I mean, that's that's what a guy like Woods can do. Yeah,

you don't have to go punch him. Guys in the face, but I think Travis was kind of challenging him, and he was like, all right, I'm not scared of you. I don't care all your Pro Bowls and stuff. I'm not scared of you. Which is a good thing. Yeah, it's a good thing. But don't punch him again, No, I yeah, to take not to take anything away from him, but we talked about it. There's a guy like this every year. Uh, Lewis Neil Chanil Jenkins, Davon Coleman was a guy. Oh yeah, but it's a great start. Area

to the games. But I think what I think the difference in him is we we I expected a little bit more from Neil and I'm not giving up on Lewis Neil uh because pass Russia. What they wanted was a one technique or three technique that's very, very active. What this guy is a one technique that's he's active, but he's a run stopper and you can't have But I don't care what nobody say. You can't have everybody

run stopper first. That's why we have no pass Russian, right, you gotta have some guys that are good at Russian and Parson. This guy will eat up by this because he's gonna bull bull bull, whether it's a run, whether it's a pass. And that's where he's gonna be effective at just one dimensional, going to get it, tough guy, eat up blocks. I like it again. I mean that's hey playing on Thursday, carried to the game. Will Ruh

talk to him Lebron. I mean, like the practices out here are like the regular season, and you know Lebron doesn't care about that, like it's about the playoffs. It's about the game, babe. The aus about when it matters. You got Human Log baby Antoine Woods sixty four, The Human Log. You'll do anything for a free meal? Yes, absolutely so. Do we have a show tomorrow? Yes you do. Yeah, it's growing in us again. Yeah, we'll be back tomorrow. And I smells some stinking fish Steeler fans. I smell them.
