He's Hanging with the Boys, presented by Wing Stuff where Flavor gets its wings. Now your hosts, Jesse Holly, Kurt Daniels, and Nate Newton. It is victory and I mean a big victory Tuesday for

us here on Hanging with the Boys. I'm Kurt Daniels sitting in the big boy chair for our man Jesse Holly, who is often making improvements to the world or to the trailer park. We're not real sure which. Yes, but once again we are joined by our main man, Nate Newton, who happens oh we may not get a word in, yes, but yes, filling in and great to ha him back on the show. Yes, our own heck ma Harrison man, Yeah what this is this? I love Hanging with the boys.

First of all, let me just say that, you know, every time my mom made y'all treat me so good. Yeah, yeall cheat so good. I'll treat it so right. Nick name Chris, I'm listening to it. I listen to it. I'm a Flower. Hanging with the boys got a new meaning today, Kurt heck, my Harrison, Hanging with the boys got a new me. It's you hanging boys big all right? They went one series and we're like, oh, we went to seriously, we said, oh, we got up a sack. We said oh, and then what and then that got

laser focused? Yeah, one completion, then two completions. Did I say, looking, Yeah, it's my rookie Dak bad out look at him. Man, you're right, you're right. I'm talking about for this because you were kept talking about this team played up and down. You don't know what you're gonna get, and we were. I met, I was worried. I didn't know if they could flip the switch. How did you know this guy didn't? No, No, this is what made me confident because I was worried too.

We always worried. As I'm a homer. I'm a homer. But when they didn't score, we didn't score, they didn't score, We didn't Okay, I said, our defense even though Bohanna, even though Gallimore, I'm like wow, even though Nashine right, I'm like, what are we doing here? But the coaches had a bigger plan it even with the left ticker. They had a bigger plan. And I'm saying to myself,

what are we on too? And then when Dak went to clicking, and when he stopped moving around in the pocket and making connections, when he took off ran a few times. You've been, you've been, You've personally been asking for doctor do exactly that you were asking for that back in the Saints game last year. I believe that if it's there for you to take, go ahead and take it, big name. You've been, You've been pounding the table. But I'm sorry I interrupted you. And y'all, man, this

is a secret home. He didn't know what you're talking about, secret Chris. We gotta get him on the show, you know. Cut. Let me tell y'all something, man. It made me feel so good. I didn't know it had been thirty years, yeah, man, two or three years old, yes, maybe four years old.

I was an NFC championship, Yes, thirty years man. And and Mike Irvin said, someone first take when Skip baited it, I mean, excuse me, sorry, stephen A, Sorry stephen A. When he came into acting like he was one of the roses of whoa, What's that rick flapper dog in the side, told Dak daddy, told told us to his daddy, sorry, sir, you don't play. Told Zeke, sorry, Zeke, daddy, you don't play, you know. And who you got to your uncle you

can't play either. And I'm saying to myself he look at him, y'all, I don't know this is gonna have for this victory, gonna throw us out there, and you know, but I do know this right here, this is the Cowboys that we've all been waiting to see. Sure, I mean, yeah, the kicker didn't do what he did, but you know what, let me let me tell you how I feel about that. Right now, he doesn't matter to me. He made the

last kick, so he's he's had success. All it takes like it took one kick a game before to get him off the track. It will take one game kick to get him on track. Now. I still think you you you you talk to him, you check his menials and his dentals and make sure he's okay. But I don't care about that. What I care about, and I'm gonna turn the flow over to you guys, is the offensive line played well. Vita Veda got us early big Vita got us early. My center struggled all game. But

this is the guy that I know would fight. Ye. I tell people all the time, heck, man, you take an offensive lineman that is above average, that is willing to do the film work, is willing to work with his other offensive lineman, you can you can forge something special iron shoppers, and when you get repetitions together, this is what you get. This is what you get five guys. Yes, their Thieva's line was more athletic, better than us, but

we played together longer and it helped us. Their injuries showed up on them, and then I'm calling it how it is. You were. You did not play enough offensive line for Tampa Bay together to stop what we had and we and I don't know if it was a game playing thing or whether people was injured or coaches was fed up with you not doing your job Gallamore Bohanna, And I don't know what's up with Nation right because

I thought he was good to go. So by this, by the coaches doing what they did and the players performing how they performed, I'm excited. Man. I'm giving us a real chance against these forty nine. I'm telling you, man, let me get some of it. They get some of that. Come on, let me let me just say this, Kurt, Now, you picked him right, I picked the Cowboys. Okay, okay. I didn't want to make sure him a good company, saying I was worried, I was skeptical, but I did

put Nate. My whole argument and these are my whole argument that's been from the beginning that this twelve and five team is a good team. And where I saw that we were a good team is in the trenches. We had some problems with the get at the beginning of the season with our left tackle. I'm sure as to be expected with some of those matchups that he had, but he is persevered. He is being the bright spot

on this offensive line. He's not getting a lot of acclaim and people talking about him, but the way that young man is switching from guard back out the tackle at a whim and still being solid is noteworthy. Yesterday, at the beginning of the game, you started to see the chess match starting to fold. It as the defensive stalemate. Basically,

Todd bowls to me. When I kept looking at it, I was saying, he is gonna live and die with six seven eight men in the box, and which was surprising to me because I felt like he would give Dak more respect than that bad guys off in coverage, but he was willing to live and die in those coverages.

To see Dak pick himself up, especially from last week's performance and just getting rhythm, the way that you were just talking about the way that Keller Moore called this offensive game game plan, it worked to perfection for us. The things that you wanted to see Dak do. Run the ball, especially in those third and short situations, not throw the ball away, try and get the first down,

move it continuously move into chains. Those were all of the great things that happened yesterday in this game that I just felt like it was a great team win. But to see Dak throw the ball into tight windows. The one throw that he made to Shultz one he kind of babbled, Oh man, it's a big time throw. That's a big time throw. And the kind of throws that people have been criticizing Dak Prescott to say that he couldn't make. He came out and he made those throws.

I think your running game was steady enough to continue to throw them off. Okay, that's all you needed. We didn't abandon it like we had been before. Look, Tampa Bay was tough on the run, and the way that they were loading the box, you were literally running into a brick wall. But the way that man Tony Pollard ran the ball effectively, Zeke had some carries. Look, Zeke had a tough Allan yesterday, but his combination with Tony Pollard and the way that we use this tight end group. Man,

I feel like Nate going into this weekend's game. If the Dallas Cowboys can stay balanced like this off, I don't know who can beat us. I don't know who can beat us. And I'm just saying from from offensively as explosive as they were. Now, as far as my heart is concerned, we're gonna have to get us so holy water in the prayer group because because he's no one has ever missed that many p eight ever, They've

been playing this game for a hundred years. May yeah, but but but I saw what they did yesterday, and and Isaiah stand back, that breaks down the games tremendously, and he kept saying, Nate, they keep running into the number of the box, saying we should pass, we should I say, no, look at how they're doing it. The strength of their defense is vita veil in whichever side a team Hicks is sitting on. But what they did is our tight ends showed up to play. So they

they fought they chicken fault all day. And this is and I've been Tony Pollock was eating them edges up and zeke. They didn't run him straight up in the middle, but they put him right outside those guards. That's why his heart, his sledging was heavier, and it was with a purpose. And so Tony was still hitting the edges. Even though the box was full. They were still hitting the edges. And Tony can make people miss and and and explosion he has is decepted because you don't you

think it's just a speed explosion. It's a power explosion too, because he can run through tackles. Kell them, let me tell you something. Mccarthur had on his head, says too. And his at first had I'm telling his his his face was in that playbook, so you know he was talking to Kell them like, hey, hey, what you what you think next? What what's happening next? But let me help you here. This I'm telling you. You know a lot of people say, now you know how they like McCarthy.

But I'm telling you, Jesse myself this this two years, one year, twelve, next year twelve. Now a rolled playoff win. I'm feeling this. Man. Now, I'm not saying no super Bowl because I don't ride like that. It's one game at a time. But I feel better and I know that this team we're getting ready to play the forty nine is are dominant. But it gives you hope. Now sure, yeah, all right, let's take our first break. That segment was

brought to us. Yeah, when we get when we come back, maybe we'll dig a little bit more into Dak's day and what brought on this on slot. So uh yeah, we'll be right back hanging with the boys.

People feeless, they know they're gonna do today. Baby, I missed the weather too, sorry, Chris. Seventy degrees outside everybody all everything's warm. I apologize anyway, Get us back on track here, so I think that's cool, y'all do hang It was Championship Plaza, by the way,

bring that up. Okay, thank you, Chris so So. Last week in Washington, Dak had arguably one of the worst games of his career. Not arguably, Yes, this week now he has one of the best games in Cowboys history. What changed for old doctor? If I wish we had that interview he put it the fellas. I know what he basically said to me. I don't know how everybody else got it. I understand what this means, and it's one thing done and I cannot force my wildest dreams on this team anymore. I have to do what is

necessary to win games for my teammates. He put his team first. He sacrifices his body, in his mind and his spirit for this team. And uh, Dak, I am so. I'm so proud of you man, you know, and I'm through y'all. Y'all, y'all can have this, man. No, y'all can have this. No. You know what, Man, I love that from you because I'm gonna tell you something big that you keep it real and probably about I got

ten weeks ago. Yeah, I had called you, and because I just called Nate out, what you're doing, big fellow. I want to talk to you about some ball. And when Dak first came back against Detroit and he threw a pass across the middle crossing route and it fell incomplete, and your words to me were, I'm so happy that was an incomplete pass, because if he had completed that, we either have to live with him dude, thinking that he could do that. He has to play tight, he

has to play within himself. And everybody that sees Dak says the same thing. Now, those that feel like, oh, Dak is the super mediocre quarterback, and then those are like me that a high owner spectrum to say, man, we feel like the deck that we got yesterday is the deck that he is. That's just how I feel. Because he didn't come into the league making a whole bunch of interception to turn the ball over. He's always

been that type of quarterback to protect the ball. But seeing him yesterday deliberately make to take the steps to not have a turnover, That's that's what I wanted to see. And it looked like to me Kelly Moore came in with a tight game plan that said, look, we were not We're not gonna try and bite off more than we can shoot, not gonna be conservative, We'll take our shots when they present themselves. And that's exactly what they did.

That's smart to do that, and I'm sure everybody does that in the playoffs, right because your playbook shrinks all of these other things in the margin for error becomes so so much smaller. But I just believe the balance that they presented yesterday, it made it made it able for us to see the best version of Dak Prescott. Seven for twenty four Russian. That's the best version of Dak Prescott because all of those, some of those fifty percent of those was to move the chain, all right,

and also throw in the score. I believe that's four playoff games where he scored uh yesh Russian and passing. Come on, man, that's that's golden right, the big Nate. Yeah, that was a four consecutive was an NFL record, and he's like the sixth one to do it overall, so it's just amazing, which I kind of wondered, like, you know the old phrase, he who hesitates is lost, and maybe that was part of his struggles leading up to this, and then in this game he was just like, I'm

gonna trust my instincts, I'm gonna go for it. I don't know if that's really what happened, but he was a different player. Thirty five run plays, thirty three tosses, twenty five completions. The thing you know, when I when I see when I when I am so uh fanish, I guess, for lack of a better word, fanish, fanish Spanish. Yeah, that whatever I see on Sunday, I'm gonna ride it

that whole week, you know what I'm saying. And so you can't find a more critical person spending when I'm talking to my wife about Dak, But then when we win, you can't find them more po as a person you know about that. See, this is this is what I always believe. Stay closer to who you are. And when I saw Dak not play, but when I saw what he said afterwards, that's the dad that I'm accustomed to. You know, I'm gonna do what's best for this team.

Coach Johnson has always taught me. And you know, I didn't Coach Mandre didn't talk as much as Coach Johnson, but Coach Johnson always taught me. What is the best for the team? You know, is it moving a runner and advancing a runner to the next play so your guy can get up there and get this guy home so we can take a one score lead. So and that's how I looked at d that yesterday. He was

just trying to move us down. And then when it come time for him to use this veg even to run or to set up something, he got outside of the pocket. He found he found his his tight end. I mean, he threw into a crowd, but him and his tight end was connected. They saw the same thing. And he set it up with his legs because you see the safety and then I say, that's the corner to me, the linebacker underneath moved over, the safety on the top moved over, and he fell right back into

that pocket. That's the That's the dad that I know. And uh and and things may not go well next week. It's it's gonna be ugly, it's gonna be bloody, it's gonna be muddy. But Dak is focused now. So now I give us, I give us a much greater chance going into leave our stadium where they build jeans at and they rough him up, and we're gonna take these guys. You know what I'm saying, les gens so far. No, it's where it's all about, you know. Uh, the Star Wars type thing ain't a Star Wars baby Star Wars.

Were all at all surprised at the connection him in Scholtz had yesterday because this is a man long shots. Yeah, I mean, Schultz has kind of had a down season statistically wise, and he was hurt a little bit, but they just didn't seem to have the same chemiston yesterday. It was boom they were They were on the same and they were in sync. And people don't give Dak the benefit of saying that he missed five games due

to hand surgery. They don't talk about that. They don't talk about the fact that Schultz had to play with the quarterback that probably wasn't in rhythm with him to begin with because of the amount of reps that he gets. I think Dak and Shultz have a natural synergy between one another. That's why when they tag shots, I was like, do you think it's a good idea to tag his bff? He gonna look for that guy if he's not gonna

look for nobody, you know. Um, I think that the one throw man where Dak is is drifting out of bounds and throws across his body shows man, that was just that's just amazing chemistry between Dak and shows Sometimes I think, and not to give this way, I just feel like sometimes Dak comes into a situation already checked down to get the ball to Shultz because that's the easiest throw to make. I don't blame him for that, right as he gets criticized for that quite often, trying

to make that impossible throw. But shouts to me is always Johnny on the spot. With where he is on the field, whether it be behind the tight end or over the top of a safety, he finds those soft places in the zone to make it comfortable for Dak to throw to him. So when I look at the chart and I see seven for ninety five, it doesn't surprise me. It doesn't surprise me because when defenses are willing to take CD away, put a safety over the top.

You know, have a linebacker underneath your tight end is going to be your best option, and it's gonna be the quickest option, especially when you have seven eight men in the box, and especially with the kind of pressure that toy Bows was trying to generate. The thing is we forgot that Shouts was hurt. Yes, absolutely, yeah, absolutely looked healthy us that he springy. I mean both teams. Uh. Tom was hyped because he was getting his guys back, Uh,

including this center. You know, we were hyped because we were getting eye guys back and everybody was on the same page. And I'll say this again and again. When Dad plays like that, good or bad, I can live with it. I'm serious. Good results are bad results, I can live with it. You know, expecting when I got Isaiah to Seahawk standing back standing that saying, but I was that was a super reed. That was a great read. Oh I feel extra good then, because you know, credit

don't always come quick with Isaiah for a quarterback. Quarterbacks missing reds, you know what I'm saying. I actually thought one of the more underrated catches of the day was the first one. I mean you talked about it earlier. First series. Yeah, he's over three decks, passes over three. His next drop back he gets sacked. His first pass after that was that high one that Gallop w up and call let god that I thought I was in

the in the bleachers there. I mean it looked high and Gallup went up and a tough catch, got the first down, and then they went down and scored. I mean, I don't know. We talked about Dak had to get off to a quick start. He didn't, but yeah he was able to overcome that, and maybe the guys around him helped him in the playoffs. What is a quick start? See for three with a sack? No, No, The thing is,

I always look at it right here. I'm sitting there saying, okay, they we went in there, out they went in there, out we went. And as long as it was going like that, I was telling saying, I was, I said, you know, who evers go first got a great chance of winning. Now because the defenses are playing it tight, nobody's gonna loosen up into somebody's score. Then the second part of the chess match start, you know, because now their defense had to make adjustments. They didn't. They didn't

that great catch. They hadn't seen Gallup make that great catch. We've seen it sporadically. It's been a while, but he's made those type of catches, and I think he hears the thing like wow, people ain't giving me mine. He made the catch. He went up for his quarterback and made the catch. He has always been able before the injury, to go up and make that play for that just when we thought it was over that sideline catch, are that deep slam, he would make that catch contested and

start the ratic. He did it again yesterday. That was another indicate like wow. And then when they scored and then they came back and couldn't score. See people people were crazy about to miss kick. I'm like, we scored first. You missed the big picture. We scored first. And that's why I think we all everybody relied so heavily on your knowledge of the game, because you've seen in playoff games where you the offense has a lull, where it's not your stars that makes make a big play. It's

a guy like Kevin Martin. It's a guy like Kevin Williams. It's a guy that does something in the possession situation, a guy that you may not be looking for. And it's not that we're not looking for Michael Gallop to make any places, just that the plays have not been there for him to make this season. That's why having a playmaker in this particular setting makes more sense. Because that ball comes out of Dak's hands and you're like, man, that's a lollipop, right WHOA, I'm glad you went up

and got that because that's an ugly ball. And Troy Aikman even talks about how nervous Dak looked at the beginning of that game. He didn't look like he was on It looked like it was about to be one of those Dak games. And as you said, from the beginning, it just slowly started to click and he just calmed down and got to within himself. But Michael Gallop, we

all know it's fully capable of making those plays. And that's why when the whole Odell backham and bringing in other guys, you're asking yourself, what damn, what's up with him, jeezy, because we've seen him toast guys, you know, take the top off of defenses and make very difficult plays to see him play like he did yesterday. It's just just real reassuring and makes you say, all right, I remember that guy, but we gonna have to get that same guy, Levi se Vi. This is the thing that we do

as Cowboy fans. Is all we can think about was Evans. If we can think about Julio Jones, the other other number fourteen and nice wife, that's all. And we forgot Ceedee Lamb went from or maybe out of thirty two star receivers. He's probably twenty yeah, with into five games in five games this season, but six games started at the sixth game, he don't push the self up to a top six receiver in receptions and yardage and yak runs and touchdowns. And people say, I don't know if

he's second second team All Pro. Well, you know what, brother, don't matter what you think. It matters what was over that thing we saw him. He became a number one. And now and I'm gonna say this with my heart. Now, we went out and got a receiver that somebody has to respect, and that was t Y And every time

he makes a catch it is something special. All that stuff we was getting before nothing against mister James Washington but come on, man bad, let's believe it that this was the next coming or something special, you know, and maybe the injury is slowing him down. But I'm just telling me what you know, I'm being honest. Yeah, I'm just being honest. Man. No, and t Y t y to me, no matter what, what this What the Cowboys needed in the wide receiver room? Was it influence? Yeah?

And it wouldn't have mattered if they would have gone with Eldell Beckham or t Y Hilton. They needed a guy to come in and influence these young guys. And I just go back to last year. Last year, go ahead, I'm not to cut you off. We didn't need we didn't need Odell. But what you the guy you talking about now is who we needed. I don't know Odell, and and Broadest loves him and thinks he's a great guy. But the first thing we heard about t Y Hilton

was not his speed, not his catching ability. The first thing we heard was he's been a positive in the locker room. I heard that first. And so now go ahead on and so just just to piggyback off what you're saying. And when I say influence this, we have to remember that Ceedee Lamb and Michael Gallup are very young guys. It may not have been and I'm not saying that Amark Cooper is not a superstar, but these guys are trying to figure out how to be a

superstar in this league. And so when you have situations where it's all situational awareness, you know that you can't run that post play the same way that you would in zone versus man and having a guy that's been there, that's done that, that can point that out. I think that's the difference in the influence that I'm talking about right now outside of the locker room all this other stuff, I don't know. I'm just talking about, Hey, young fella,

you can't run full speed until that safety. You may want to break it down this a little bit so that can find you just the little things that you've seen at the beginning of the season that CD wasn't making those adjustments and that those were causing uh turnovers. So ty t Y Hilton's influence on this receiving group I think is immense. Uh, just the way that I see this since he's come on in the way that Ceedee Lamb has has responded, but Man I can't argue

with head coach an offensive coordinator. We gotta take a break. Okay, we gotta take a break. Man. Let's say Chris is gonna get madt of this. This this secment. Second seconment was brought to us by blockchain. When we get back, I know we're on offense, but we gotta talk a little defense. Get out of here. Man found Michael Parsons. You know I'm about Superman was back. We haven't talked about. You know you're gonna have to wait for that. We

gotta talk, Michael Parsons. Let's take a back, Let's take a break. We'll be right back on. Come on, big Big Hankins plea. Hey cowboys fans, ready to spice up your next watch party?

I'm Kurt Daniels, heck Ma Harrison here with us today and Nate Newton Ben. We've been talking a lot of offense. Let's get the defense a little bit of love here. And before we get to the main man, Michael Parsons, I got to ask, was Hankins and Vanderush the difference in this game? When Boy came up with a sack, Big Hank. Hank came

up with a sack. Surprised the impact they both had after being out the last few gunnings. Man, that's I was. You know what, I wasn't surprised. I knew that the interior of this defense needed Hankins, Uh, Hankins and Watkins together, our force in the middle. Yeah, they are forced in the middle. So when I saw the inactives, Big Nate, I was not surprised. I wasn't. I was not surprised because also I saw Chauncey Gholston in those last couple

of contests. You start seeing ninety nine doing the right things, taking on those double teams. He even had a block ball batted the ball down. That's what dan Quinn is looking for, that relentless pass rush. But man, I was so really, I was just more proud of the way these guys played in the interior. Yes, yes, lv's presence and back on this defense is oh my god, man,

just lining dudes up. Yes, you can't. You know, guys going forward one of his better games in coverage, you look like you know, man, So I'm gonna tell you something, man, you know, hanging with them boys, that's that's up. That's up, man. They were hanging yesterday. Bro, it was good to see Parsons find his burst again, right, you know, me and this gentleman right here. But we go back and forth about Mica all the time. But then Micael just played no, no,

don't cut me off. Don't don't cut me off, Gabe, because you know what you have to find. You have to get him in rhythm and you have to not relegate him to one side of the ball over another. So yes, yes, I ain't relegate him to one side of the ball. You have to move him around. You have to keep the offensive line guessing and dan Quinn did a really good job of that yesterday. The way that they handled things in coverage I thought was but

they gave up a lot of you let's side. Hey, they gave up some yards in the past game, but they contained twenty to twenty bib but don't break style, and when they needed to make a play to get them off the field, they did exactly that. It was a Marvel movie called Wolverine, yes, and I think it was Wolverine the Origin of Wolverine, where he started at and how he became Wolverine, and the mad scientists you know who put it in put it all this animated

still in his body. Yeah, okay, him and his brother had the same powers, except Wolverine had that's still in him. You know, he made this dude and that. And I look at Michael Parson as that dude. He's a newer version. I don't know. He would it disappeared, swing at it, he would disappear. It would never know where he was coming from. But venture they cut his head off, it ain't gonna cut my get off. But anyway, he was

moving around. And that's how when I see Parsons, I want him to always be coming from the middle of the defense. I want him to always be standing up that He used to do that with LT a lot when I played back in the day. And sometimes LT will be everybody break the hull and LT will be standing in the middle of the field. Bro. You know

what that does the quarterbacks? You know what that does office, because the first thing they're gonna say is a strength strength the number leven and then number leven walk over here. Yeah you get what I'm saying. How str gonna be the number leven? You still got a back of standing right there? Then you about to switch up the quarterback? Come on, man, That's what I was trying to get you this. No, I just I'm still impressed by you

giving the DC commies it's DC commies out. I mean, come on, man, you gotta know he's a marvel and you know, like like I tell people, don't get Superman mixed up. He's d is it okay? Right? Who is awkwa? Man? That's the DC my fault fault, but not even such a superhero, the big fellow. You know that little talk long enough. It's just no, man, You're you're you're so right, especially with you know, trying to keep him healthy throughout the season. They may have failed at that in a

number of ways because look, you needed him. You needed him so much. You needed his pass rush, you needed that pressure. It's just his influence on that defensive line. You see guys like Darnce Armstrong just come alive with him on the field. And look, we talked at the end of last season, so much was gonna be made about how do you get reshaped this defensive line? Randy Gregory, that contract. I'm telling y'all guys, it was auditioned by subtraction.

And you've got the better group right now. And these guys are playing like it, if they could pack, if they can do that what they did versus Tampa Bay next week, versus a rookie quarter but he is still a rookie quarterback. They are going to have to force mister Pretty and took some bad decisions. They gotta make it ugly for I'm gonna tell you something. I'm gonna tell you something. I know we jump in the gun short week, but I'm gonna tell you something, if evermore

that you have to stop to run. If any point in this season, if you do not stop to run, you can forget about it. Because now Pretty has no pressure on him. He has not faced any pressure. He didn't have a good first half last week, but they continue to run the ball. That kid they went and got from from from McCaffrey. Yeah, McCaffrey's different. No no, no, no, no, no, Now you gotta give him. That's a bad man. Yeah, that's something bad. Oh, that's a bad man. He worry

more than Samuel Um. Yeah, I say equally as much. But if you do that, don't you disrespect that band like that. Deebo Samuels is in a class all by himself and then just a live it above it is this kid, McCarthy. I'm telling you just a live it above. Because de Bo is a wide receiver that can play running back. This kid is a running back that can play wide receiver. But de Bo they can they can say, oh he's wide wide receiver, We're gonna play him as a wide receiver. He's uh not a number one, but

almost there. But McCarthy, he was like a young z. You was regardless. You could be. You can be on your own twenty. You can be on there on your own twenty. And they still they started seek in the backfield. The line was gonna be packed. It could be third in five, The line was gonna be packed. That's how it is from McCafe. You what you're gonna playing with? A safety? No, a corner, No what you're gonna playing with? You almost got a double team. This kid, he is

like that. He he is the reason that the kid that got hurt, not the first kid, but uh, the the back, the quarterback that was starting for pretty oh Garoccolo wasn't killing it. He came in there, they started killing it. He is the only reason if they did not have this kid and just put Debo back to what she was doing. Ain't abody panicking, Bro, I promise it ain't nobody the panic. But by being able to do what you can do with de Bo and bringing

this beast, bro, go back, look at the film. Let it show you now you know what I'm looking at the filmo g name. I'm not gonna argue with you about this. We're gonna we're splitting hairs right now, and I'm not gonna do it. Okay, I'm not gonna love it. That's how you feel about him that I feel like that too, all right, All I'm saying when I look at both of those guys to some of the athletics, I'm just looking. I'm looking at it. When I look at Debo, I see a guy that's undersigned for the

way that they use him. I saw even versus Seattle, they start he started making those plays in between the tackle. And that's the difference between him and McCaffrey. McCaffrey is a guy that can get you on the outside and baptize you like that. He's a guy that you just talked about as a mismatch for anybody that you put on him. He could play true slot receiver if you want to him. And debo can play together. That interchangeable with the exception of debo can get you the tough yards.

Debo can also take the top off. Like I said, I'm not gonna watching a hairless man breaking this down to coming back tomorrow, coming back, we gotta go. Well, go West time you could stask, I got other work to do. You can stand who on your show today? Man, you know got a full house, all of us. Okay, okay, you got a full house. No, what's I'm here? Sit down? No, man, No, I ain't gonna do that blood pressure him hYP with he's cowboys. I don't walk around bow leg and all
