- 0:44Speaker 2: what you're doing is how we all need to try
- 0:47Speaker 2: to stay in the game and stay healthy. You know,
- 0:50Speaker 2: stay around these young dudes, stay around the game. That's
- 0:54Speaker 2: what you do, man, Just what you're doing because it
- 0:57Speaker 2: keeps you active, It gives you a purpose.
- 0:59Speaker 3: Man.
- 0:59Speaker 2: You guys like me and you you know, and and
- 1:03Speaker 2: and that that's one of the reasons I even start
- 1:05Speaker 2: that podcast and called it the White House, you know,
- 1:07Speaker 2: because guys that have it. I like people to come
- 1:10Speaker 2: in and say, hey, we only like talking to guys
- 1:12Speaker 2: that are situations. Come in our situation room, you know,
- 1:17Speaker 2: and and talk and share. And that's what I love
- 1:20Speaker 2: about podcasts because we get to do the long term,
- 1:23Speaker 2: long form. You and I never worked together on TV.
- 1:25Speaker 2: You know, they got this more time. You're not rap.
- 1:29Speaker 2: They're telling you the rap right now. We are, you know.
- 1:31Speaker 2: But this way we can talk with people and not
- 1:35Speaker 2: just talk to people. And I think that's the greatest
- 1:39Speaker 2: form of education.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Hey, speaking of you talking about being around the young
- 1:44Speaker 1: guys and influencing young men, and you've been around Miami
- 1:46Speaker 1: a lot this season and it's been a you know, televised,
- 1:49Speaker 1: but just talk about that because it just looks like
- 1:52Speaker 1: you having such a positive impact on those young men
- 1:54Speaker 1: in that program, and you look so happy and so
- 1:57Speaker 1: passionate about the success that ever.
- 1:59Speaker 2: Yeah, and there is nothing right that last few years
- 2:04Speaker 2: that has been bringing up more joy to me.
- 2:07Speaker 3: You know, man, we talk about it.
- 2:11Speaker 2: You know, man, we would never be able to do
- 2:13Speaker 2: that again, to play again, and we won't. I won't
- 2:16Speaker 2: ever be able to run a route, score a touchdown.
- 2:19Speaker 2: But that's as close as you could get to be
- 2:22Speaker 2: right there. And the great part about it that most
- 2:24Speaker 2: people don't know, you know, since we go back every
- 2:26Speaker 2: year to Legend Camps and Fantasy Camp.
- 2:30Speaker 3: A lot of those kids.
- 2:32Speaker 2: You've seen those kids when they were six seven, eighth
- 2:34Speaker 2: grade because we've coached them at Miami, and now they're
- 2:38Speaker 2: growing up and going to Miami and it's just so
- 2:42Speaker 2: incredible to be out there.

- 3:23Speaker 2: you get out of the game, right you You you
- 3:25Speaker 2: chasing something you ain't so so so right, and I
- 3:29Speaker 2: understand they're just trying to steal my glory.
- 3:31Speaker 3: With that story.
- 3:32Speaker 1: They're trying to steal that sh They trying to dilute it.
- 3:34Speaker 1: I ain't trying. I ain't trying to hear. I'll be

- 3:48Speaker 3: Around, y'all see it. This is gatimate. You can't make this.
- 3:53Speaker 3: You can't that you can do it right here. I
- 3:55Speaker 3: ain't going nowhere now when you know, we're.
- 3:58Speaker 1: Gonna have to talk about Jerry and your and your
- 4:00Speaker 1: cowboys at some point or another, because it's been a
- 4:03Speaker 1: lot of change over there. And you know, is it
- 4:07Speaker 1: a good movie? Is it a bad move? We gonna
- 4:09Speaker 1: see because there's a lot of draft picks. He found
- 4:11Speaker 1: a way to get a lot of draft capital out
- 4:13Speaker 1: of those deals. But obviously, when when the Micah Parsons
- 4:16Speaker 1: trade happened early I questioned it right off the bat,
- 4:20Speaker 1: I'm like, come on, now, not many times you trade
- 4:23Speaker 1: all pros for draft picks that could potentially be all pros.
- 4:27Speaker 1: And when he made that trade, he got a lot
- 4:29Speaker 1: of draft capital. You know, they had to they didn't
- 4:31Speaker 1: have to pay him the forty five million that he
- 4:33Speaker 1: was getting from Green Bay. All those things matter, But
- 4:36Speaker 1: it just seemed like that domino kind of dropped like
- 4:42Speaker 1: a rock in the pond of the Dallas Cowboys and
- 4:45Speaker 1: created ripples about how Jerry Jones conducts business and how
- 4:48Speaker 1: he has handled some of these contracts.
- 4:51Speaker 3: You saw Danz Bryant talk about it.
- 4:52Speaker 1: I don't know what they experienced that that you might
- 4:54Speaker 1: have had when you were doing your deal, but it
- 4:57Speaker 1: just seems like this Dallas Cowboys team is further away
- 5:00Speaker 1: from a Super Bowl than they were when he was there.
- 5:02Speaker 2: Well, listen, I had I was at dinner with coach
- 5:05Speaker 2: Shattenheimer two days ago, and you know, beautiful wife, beautiful kids,
- 5:11Speaker 2: and we all sat over and catch my boys spot
- 5:14Speaker 2: in Dallas, and we talked about a lot of things.
- 5:18Speaker 3: You know, I love the direction Dallas is headed.
- 5:21Speaker 2: I mean last year what we found out is you
- 5:26Speaker 2: got the makings of a great offense. You know, you
- 5:30Speaker 2: got some players in the makings of a great offense.
- 5:34Speaker 2: When you remember that game that they decided to bench
- 5:39Speaker 2: Ceedee Lamb and George Pickens for the first series, everybody
- 5:43Speaker 2: was saying, what did he do?
- 5:44Speaker 3: What did they do? They were trying to scramble to
- 5:46Speaker 3: find out what they did. I wasn't.
- 5:50Speaker 2: You know, I didn't know. But what they did didn't
- 5:53Speaker 2: matter to me. All that mattered to me is they
- 5:56Speaker 2: did that shit together. Now one of them longer they
- 6:02Speaker 2: kept both to us, said, Oh, were good. That mean
- 6:05Speaker 2: whatever they were doing, they were doing together.
- 6:07Speaker 3: This is good.
- 6:08Speaker 2: I mean, they boys, we ain't gonna have no right,
- 6:11Speaker 2: no right, we ain't gonna have no If they are
- 6:13Speaker 2: that getting in trouble together, they if you know what
- 6:17Speaker 2: I'm saying, that.
- 6:18Speaker 3: Mean they gonna ball together. You know.
- 6:19Speaker 2: But see the rest of the world don't see it
- 6:21Speaker 2: that way. Oh what are they doing? Those guys are
- 6:24Speaker 2: folks y'all missing the damn point. They're missing the points.
- 6:27Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Long was all I cared
- 6:30Speaker 2: about was they were doing it together. That means they're
- 6:33Speaker 2: gonna ball together. So you know what I mean? Receiver
- 6:36Speaker 2: room right, weird? If you ain't got that kind of
- 6:38Speaker 2: you got it. And if y'all that getting in trouble together,
- 6:41Speaker 2: you look at these all, right, dall, we shouldn't have
- 6:43Speaker 2: got in trouble. Let's go ball out and make them
- 6:45Speaker 2: forget this today. And that's what they do together. So
- 6:48Speaker 2: I loved that relationship.
- 6:50Speaker 3: Man.
- 6:50Speaker 2: When I was with CD and we went to a
- 6:52Speaker 2: New York Knicks game, a New York Game game in
- 6:55Speaker 2: New York Knicks, that's what we were talking about, because
- 6:58Speaker 2: it reminds me a lot of me and Alvin he
- 7:01Speaker 2: Enjoorge Pickings and they do different things. Pickings going up
- 7:05Speaker 2: there to get the ball. He's going up the field
- 7:06Speaker 2: like Heart did. But everything twenting in heart can do.
- 7:11Speaker 2: But I'm going to take care of baby. I'm gonna
- 7:13Speaker 2: carve it right.
- 7:15Speaker 1: And when y'all start edging on up here, Heart gonna
- 7:18Speaker 1: go by y'all. Our pickings gona go by y'all. So
- 7:20Speaker 1: it works perfectly, man. We just gotta be more consistent
- 7:24Speaker 1: with that offense. And like you say, with all that capital,
- 7:27Speaker 1: build a defense, and Quentin Williams was to get Now
- 7:31Speaker 1: that's what it ain't nobody talking about, dude.
- 7:34Speaker 2: Pressure Listen, let me take some I'll give it. First
- 7:38Speaker 2: of all, Jerry was hurt the relationship that Jerry and
- 7:41Speaker 2: Michael had, And I heard Michael talk about it for
- 7:43Speaker 2: the first time yesterday at the Pro Bowl. You know,
- 7:47Speaker 2: Jerry was hurt, and and and and I had him
- 7:50Speaker 2: on and I had him on the locker room with
- 7:53Speaker 2: me on my YouTube channel, and and and I was
- 7:56Speaker 2: talking to talking to him about it, and he said
- 7:59Speaker 2: to me, Michael, why don't you go get Michael and
- 8:01Speaker 2: bring him in here. And I should have picked up
- 8:03Speaker 2: the hurt on him, because if he's saying that, I
- 8:05Speaker 2: should have took that for real, I believe Michael lost. Also, see,
- 8:10Speaker 2: the only person I believe one and that deal was
- 8:12Speaker 2: the agent, right because the agent sent Michael to Dallas
- 8:16Speaker 2: Green Bay and said, you got forty seven, Oh you
- 8:18Speaker 2: really got forty two over five, not forty seven over four.
- 8:21Speaker 2: That's all that new money that starts this year next year.
- 8:24Speaker 2: All of that that's agent talk. Dog, you still gotta
- 8:27Speaker 2: play this year. So when you average all that money,
- 8:29Speaker 2: it's five years over forty two million. They had forty
- 8:32Speaker 2: and forty one on the table in Dallas. You gotta
- 8:35Speaker 2: pay state tax over there. And now you already. You
- 8:37Speaker 2: see what I'm saying. You're not gonna live in Green Bay,
- 8:39Speaker 2: You're gonna live in Dallas. Why do that? But you
- 8:41Speaker 2: know what I mean, why And That's what I'm talking about.
- 8:44Speaker 2: But that what Dallas slipped on is understanding to tie
- 8:47Speaker 2: together Michael Parson and Trayvon Diggs. Once you get rid
- 8:51Speaker 2: of one of them. If you get rid of Michael
- 8:52Speaker 2: parsoner Trayvon Diggs, youre hurting them right because Michael has
- 8:56Speaker 2: to be back there right now so Trayvon can jump
- 8:58Speaker 2: that first route. If that dude got a second and
- 9:01Speaker 2: third round, treybon get dead because you jump the wrong thing.
- 9:04Speaker 2: And that's where he got caught up this year. And
- 9:06Speaker 2: I tried to tell Jary, if you're gonna get if
- 9:09Speaker 2: you're gonna do that with Michael, then maybe you should
- 9:12Speaker 2: have held out for doing what you did with Trayvon.
- 9:14Speaker 3: That that's where they went wrong.
- 9:16Speaker 1: But I'll say this because I think Quinn Williams is
- 9:19Speaker 1: one of the best defenders in the National Football League.
- 9:21Speaker 1: I think Kenny Clark is underrated. I think they did
- 9:24Speaker 1: a great job.
- 9:25Speaker 2: And you saw you saw you saw them two coming
- 9:27Speaker 2: together like like I was talking about, like like like
- 9:31Speaker 2: George and CD. So you saw them, you saw them
- 9:34Speaker 2: big boy competing to get back there. You think I'm
- 9:36Speaker 2: gonna beat you back.
- 9:37Speaker 1: Then once you get that dog you got if you
- 9:40Speaker 1: get them two big dudes in the middle saying.
- 9:43Speaker 2: What let's go, let's go. We're gonna meet you at
- 9:45Speaker 2: the quarterback and they could pete be. You know you
- 9:47Speaker 2: all had to leave you the boom.
- 9:48Speaker 1: It's start with them big mother with ben in and
- 9:51Speaker 1: all go put that pressure back. We caught him, the
- 9:54Speaker 1: big three. We ain't nobody. You go get them boys, man.
- 9:59Speaker 1: So yeah, I like it to.
- 10:00Speaker 3: I love I love the staff.
- 10:01Speaker 1: I like Shoddy, my guy, Junior Adams is the receivers
- 10:06Speaker 1: coach there.
- 10:07Speaker 3: The thing that I do.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Too, I didn't like with with what they did is
- 10:12Speaker 1: what they did with our like you let out here.
- 10:14Speaker 3: Come on, man, come on, dog, come on now, dog,
- 10:17Speaker 3: come on? What are we doing?
- 10:18Speaker 2: Dude, I've been talking about this too, and and honestly
- 10:21Speaker 2: and even this right here, this last cycle with somebody
- 10:24Speaker 2: got to start. When you're the best at something, you're
- 10:27Speaker 2: the best at something. This dude, when it was the
- 10:29Speaker 2: Dallas they best in taking the ball away in Chicago.
- 10:33Speaker 2: Now they were the best at taking the ball away.
- 10:35Speaker 2: That's his specialty, and nobody wants to point out and
- 10:39Speaker 2: talk and give him the credit for holding on and
- 10:41Speaker 2: his specialty. He deserves an opportunity to be a coordinator
- 10:46Speaker 2: and get them and move up for what he has done.
- 10:49Speaker 2: Al Harris, that's the biggest thing to hurt me, more
- 10:51Speaker 2: than anything.
- 10:52Speaker 1: More than anything, More than anything, Al Harrison deserves to
- 10:55Speaker 1: be a DC.
- 10:55Speaker 3: He deserves to know.
- 10:56Speaker 1: It's not a gimmick, it's not anything tricky. It's easy
- 10:59Speaker 1: to see. Wherever he goes, they take the football win
- 11:01Speaker 1: the most important do I tell people? Defense don't win championship.
- 11:05Speaker 1: Turnover defense win championship. Coach points you need and the
- 11:08Speaker 1: turnover defense gives you the ball back to get those points.
- 11:12Speaker 2: That's the kicker and he's a master at it. Whiteker,
- 11:15Speaker 2: You're right on, man. I appreciate you bringing up a too, man,
- 11:18Speaker 2: because we gotta keep talking about that and bring that
- 11:21Speaker 2: to the forefront. Like these quarters these coaches get are
- 11:23Speaker 2: their quarterback whispers. This is a takeaway whisper.
- 11:26Speaker 3: To take away whisper.
- 11:27Speaker 1: May give him his credit for being the takeaway whisper
- 11:31Speaker 1: and give him a cornerback whisper right, right, whatever you
- 11:34Speaker 1: want to call it, what you're.
- 11:36Speaker 3: Doing with hard Rock Bet. They got this game at
- 11:38Speaker 3: four and a half. You see it four and a
- 11:40Speaker 3: half for hard Rock Bets, man.
- 11:42Speaker 2: And you know what, what I love about this so
- 11:44Speaker 2: much to the partnership that I have with hard Rock Bets.
- 11:46Speaker 2: You know, they're the best. They're the best in the business.
- 11:50Speaker 2: And it's home for me. You know, I had my
- 11:53Speaker 2: Hall of Fame party at hard Rock. You know it's
- 11:56Speaker 2: in Florida. Well, I've always did business with them. I
- 12:00Speaker 2: never been able to partnership with them here in this
- 12:02Speaker 2: fashion because I've always worked for the NFL. This is
- 12:05Speaker 2: the first time I've ever had a chance to partner
- 12:08Speaker 2: with with with with with with a company like this.
