I'm number four. The G back nation. Look at this time flies when you're having fun. We're talking sports here with you express ways coming up in 20 minutes. You'll hear from my comparisons. We might have time for the 10 things the Cowboys must do to win the Super Bowl. Yeah. Right here though, it's an addition to the finest. There's the chief 817 just texted in who the F is this Zach Gell on this sports minute said Cowboys don't make the playoffs, but the bears do garbage take. We got a garbage take alert here. There's a girl. There's a lot of bets to make right now on the Cowboys because the public is so down on them. They're treating them like they're going to go from winning 12 games to winning seven games because you lost Tyron Smith. Doran's Armstrong. Yeah. Like what's that different? Hey, Dante Fowler. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, big lunches average to below average players. There's something to be said for that depending on a lot of rookies at important spots. I don't see them being a contender. Sure, sure, sure. But there has been and there has been an over. I mean, when the opening line came out for this Cowboys Browns game, Cowboys were favored. Now it's their two and a half point dogs. What's changed? I don't, I don't really know. I don't understand how they could be favors weeks ago, favorites, the rookie lineman. That could be. I mean, I think the Brown should be there. They also in the Ricky lineman, the loss of bland, maybe. Yeah, the well lost could swing some things. But then you look at the Browns, their loss of chubb. That's huge for a team that, you know, runs the football like they do. Well, I do have a little nugget here and I know tomorrow brought it, you'll be breaking down the Cleveland Browns defense and we'll see, we'll see how much this jumps out to you because I am confident in a cowboy victory on Sunday in Cleveland. And I, I'm expecting this to be an under hitting situation. I mean, at the very least Cowboys cover the two and a half as a road dog. But Cleveland, as it as it pertains to their defense, they allowed 7.2 yards per pass attempt on the road last year, but at home, it was only 4.7. Yeah, there are completely different defense when at home, their one defense held up better at home under four yards per carry last year on the road. It was closer to five yards per carry. So that is something to consider you, you will be getting the best version. If there anything like last year's version of themselves at home, they are a much better defense. And we've seen the Cowboys, especially if they want to do the motion stuff and when you get to Buffalo, all of a sudden on the road, the offense doesn't quite work as well. So I don't expect to come out of the game feeling good about the Cowboys offense, but I think they can score just enough. I mean, the over under is like 41 and a half or something. And I think that's totally fair because I don't see both teams touching 20 points. It's too defensive oriented football teams where that's the strength. You've got massive question marks about the Sean Watson. And this is what we've been knocking on deck for, right? Can you beat a good defense and Cleveland? They don't get enough love for how damn good they are on that side of the football. There are corners. They got three corners. They can play. They got an all pro and Denzel Ward. You've got Zdarius Smith and Miles Garrett at the edge. I mean, their defense is the real deal. One Thornhill who came over from Kansas City. Grant Delpitts developed into a nice player. I know you're going to break him down tomorrow, Brian. But I mean, Dalvin Tomlinson's a big boy in the middle of that defensive line Cooper, BB and that strength. Thank God. They're starting Cooper in this one. But this is going to be a tough, tough task for the two rookies. Welcome to the NFL week one. I saw 67% at draft Kings is on the Cowboys at plus two and a half right now. So a lot of people like the Cowboys at plus two and a half. Hopefully they come through. Who's the rookie that is that you're most concerned for on Sunday? Is it guidance? Is it BB? Is it Carson? I think those are the three important ones. Lea foul is going to be doing some playing for sure. But I mean, your left tackle, your center and your corner are about to get thrown into the deep end of the pool here. Can I circle back real quick? I was just curious. Home games last year versus San Francisco, Arizona, Jacksonville, Chicago and the Jets. That goes along with the division games they played Cincinnati Pittsburgh and Baltimore. So at home, they played dog ass team. They got the 49ers. Yeah. Okay. They play them better than anybody else. They won the game. Yeah. Yeah. I think was out that game. It's always Debo. Yeah. It's the week after they beat San Francisco beat Dallas. They went to Cleveland. I think lost. But those take out Cincinnati Pittsburgh and Baltimore, take out the division opponents. He played San Francisco at home, Arizona, Jacksonville, Chicago and the Jets. I would say that the Chicago, the Jets, Arizona, those games are probably bad, bad games of offense for the opponent. Yeah. Yeah. Not even worth watching it when you're scouting the team. Yeah. I would not watch those games if I was breaking down the. Well, hey, that's a great thing. Thank you for doing that because that's a that's another one of those cases where sometimes it can fool you. The concept, the context matters on that for sure. I just regardless, I was just curious to top five defense. No, there doesn't change the fact they're an awesome defense, but no, no, you're absolutely right. I mean, if you if you look at it, if you look at the, if you look at the, they give up 200, right, they give up 215 yards to San Francisco. Mm hmm. They gave up 58 yards, total yards to Arizona. They gave up, let's get past that. They give up 293 to Jacksonville. They gave up 236 to Chicago. The jets, the jets got them for 360 in this game. And that was it. Those were the games that we were dealing with. So, yeah. Well, um, I expect the, the Cleveland defense going to be legit, but answer the question now. The rookie. Okay. I think the Titan miles gear at matchup is that one. Now, I think Guyton, he has shown and he showed it at Oklahoma, he can correct and adjust in game, but miles gear it is a different beast. I think he's the best defensive player in the sport. And that is, that is such a tough challenge in your first NFL game. Guyton would be one for me. I wanted to run this pass. Mike Lombardi and Michael Bardy hired Jim sports in Cleveland. You know, he, he was Mike was the GM there. And so he knows Jimmy pretty well. I think, and I wanted to run this by Michael. And I said, Hey, I think that the, I think that Swartz is going to attack Terence Steele in this game and not Guyton. Well, the last time we saw Garrett and Steele, that was not good either. Those Terence deals first start. That was a sad, sad deal. I have a feeling that I was a sack fumble in the blink of an eye there. They are going to, they are going to realize that Cleveland's looking at this game and saying, who's going to get all the help? It's guy. Yeah, it's guy. Who's going to get singled up the most? There probably is an area Smith and Terence Steele. Yeah. Well, that means unless they move Garrett over, that's what I'm saying. Yeah. I think they're going to move Garrett over. I think I think they're going to attack. Well, that's who you should be helping. Whoever has miles Garrett, that's the guy you should be helping. Well, that's, but, but you're looking at, you're looking at your, you know, you're looking at the program. Yeah. You want to slide to him. You want to slide. You want to be able to slide, but everybody's worried about, everybody's worried about Geitan in this game and Geitan can actually, I think, match up in a way of he's got length. He's got athletic ability. He's got more upper body power than what Terence Steele has. But if I'm Jim Schwartz and I'm watching the tape, that's why I asked Alan Barty this question. I said, he goes, he's going to attack, he's going to attack Steele, get ready for this. And he feels like too, he goes, watch what he does with BB and like he's going to cover all those, he's going to cover all the, like he's going to cover Martin and he's going to cover Smith. So BB then is one on one with, with a rusher with, with Miles Garrett. Yeah. Yeah. There's no help. Yeah. I mean, the two on four is like, I don't think they're going to let Miles Garrett wreck the game. They're going to chip, they'll put a tight end. Okay. This is what I hear you as often as you can. This is the problem. This is the problem. You can't chip him when he's inside. And he'll rush over the center. He'll rush over the center. Okay. Now you're worried about, you've got a rookie left tackle, just say, but he is a rookie left tackle. Yeah. How many opportunities do you think he's had to work with, say Zeke or battle in these chip situations? Not much. See, that's where all of a sudden you're like, if you're a tackle, you would rather not get any chip help because backs will mess up where they're supposed to be. And as far as you want it to be like a little bit, like offset, these backs get too aggressive. And then they all suddenly get in your way. Now you're not able to set because you got a back hit in your left shoulder. Now you can't pass set like you need to set. Well, that's, and with Guyton, whose hands and feet are always aligned right now, that could be problem. And this is, this is the issue to the run into as well on that on that outside because Miles Garrett, I'm giving all my stuff up for tomorrow. Yeah, you don't have to do that. No, no, it's cool. I don't, we'll circle back. I'll talk about some other things. But the thing about Miles Garrett, the way he plays, he doesn't give you any hitting surface. He gets a lot of, he gets a lot of direction and a lot of covering a lot of ground with his first step, but then he'll get really small. And so now you try and put your hands on him and he doesn't really give you might get one hand on him and then try and get the second hand on him, but he's shoulder to you. And now he's by and now you get a chipper. And I've seen him like the team that chipped in the best were the Ravens. The Ravens have this big fullback number 42. Oh, yeah, regard. And he put, they put him over there. So they got big tight ends in this big fullback, but there was coordination between the two between the tackles and record and these backs that they were able to kind of handle. And then so they started moving them to the other side to get away from the chip help. Yeah. So you're, you, he's banking, what Swartz is probably banking on, if Zeke is not the back in there when they're having chip help, well, that'll be able to be aware. Zeke will be aware of who he's got. Well, he better be. That's why he's here. Yeah. There's, I wouldn't be surprised in this thing if Zeke is the third back in this, and this going forward. And just in terms of how much touches he gets? No, you mean like how he plays? Really? I think he's only going to start week one. He's RB one on the depth chart, right? I wouldn't be surprised if Dattle is your primary starter. Deuce fawns the backup and Zeke is your third, your third guy. Okay. As far as blitz pickup guy, short yardage, maybe short yardage guy, throw the ball to guy, not make mistakes guy in the, you know, in the scheme of things. Yeah, I wouldn't, I wouldn't be surprised if all of a sudden they were okey-dokiness. If it was really a meritocracy, I think it would be that way. If you're like power ranking the, the back, we all realize that, you know, but, but like my guess is they will, they will be like, their deference to Zeke as the starter is just like, I feel like that sentence will start, we saw it in 2022 with Pollard, you know, it was just nasty. I just kind of feel like that. Maybe they're going to look at their team and say Zeke as the third guy makes much more sense for us than him being the starter. I hope so. Yeah. I hope so too. That would be some common sense way of maybe when Christie scales, we talked to her on the field. Did you give us an idea about that rotation on the pregame show? I just, I just, Zeke is better off is blitz pickup guy, chip guy, short yardage guy than he is primary back guy. Well, as the NFL zigs, Jim Harbaugh's eggs, welcome to Los Angeles, where the chargers I would like to introduce you to Scott Matlock, a six, four, three hundred pound full back. Let's go. Who's also a ginger with one hell of a chin strap beard. Hell yeah. This is pretty incredible physical football back and well, better than ever, as it pertains to the Los Angeles chargers. This is incredible. This guy was a interior defensive lineman for them. He wore the number 99, but his athleticism knows no bounds. They see in training camp. This guy's got some, some other capabilities here. He goes from 99 to number 44 on the Jersey, still three hundred pounds at six, four, and he is listed as a full back slash D line on the depth chart. He's number one in the full back depth chart area though. And he caught some touchdowns at Boise State. Soft hands, they would throw in the football. This is it like we're going to get big man TV. Yeah, he's been building for this moment. You know, I'm guessing now we'll get at least four or five, usually in a season you get one or two at most big man TDs and we cannot wait for it with this guy being a three hundred pounder full back and Jim Harbaugh is just nature. You know, he's going to want to see a big man TD as much as humanly possible work where I mean, TD Tuesdays are about to be history. What do you think is this going to work Smith? I mean, Harbaugh has had so much success everywhere. He's gone last four or five stops. Yeah, I'm not here to doubt Jim Harbaugh. I know they're in a tough division obviously with my homes and Andy reading company with Kansas City, but to me, he's going to be building. And I, again, like I say it jokingly about zigging when zagging, but he's building a physical football team that we can week out teams are not going to be really prepared to handle for the most part. And I, and I believe in Justin Herbert. So I think the most important thing, do you have a quarterback and a head coach? I think the Chargers do. So I buy on the Chargers. Maybe not year one. You know, I could see them being a wild car team in year one, but over the next half decade, I expect them to, to, to build into a real legit team who cares about the trenches, physicality. And when you have a good quarterback with that and a good coach, you're going to do some serious winning. Yeah, everybody thought he was going to take a skill guy and he took that big tackle from the other day. Yeah. And now all, all vs Max Crossview, equal on that's going to be another fun matchup. Everybody, everybody said skill. They're taking skill. They're taking one of these wide receivers neighbors are going to take one of these guys. And he says, no, they got how sophisticated. How sophisticated is the Michigan blocking scheme when you compare it to a Shanahan system? Well, see, I got fooled by watching Michigan blocking scheme with Luke scoon made skinny. Wow. I got fooled by watching Michigan defensive lineman play too. Yeah. That was another one. He tackles. The ends have been pretty good. They, they, they Blake quorum was a big, a big part of how they ran the football and they got Edwards was another, another, an Edward, she's back. It's back. They, they, they have some physicality running the football. Can you imagine being a linebacker though and having to do some whole plug-in with a 300 pound full back screaming downhill? Are you kidding me? No. And I think that's the interesting thing is as the defensive players get smaller after the first four, you know, is this a, is this, you know, you said zig when the NFL isagging, it'd be really interesting if, if anybody else beyond Jim Harbaugh was doing it, I'd be like, you're an idiot. You're a caveman trying to take the sport back decades into the past, but I won't be surprised if Jim Harbaugh figures out a way to get it done, especially if you have a legit quarterback. And when it's time to, Hey, I need, I'm still going to need no matter how my team's built. I need my quarterback for at least three to five plays a game, making, you know, big time. Hey, this one's on you right now, bro. And I think he's got that in Herbert. So yeah, I'm excited with what they got going on with the Chargers and a 300 pound full back is just absolutely insane. And then one college football nugget for you. I don't know how familiar you guys are with the tradition for the past six years or so in Columbus with Ohio State and the football team, but it's their Let's Dance TikTok situation. They've been doing a pregame where they gather around together and they do these TikTok dances and, and then they like to get embarrassed by Michigan. They're dancing at the big house and they're doing their TikTok, Jackson Mahomes, Juju Smith, Eustor bit. And then they lose again to Jim Harbaugh speaking of. And so they have apparently Ryan Day has finally put his foot down and said there will be no more pregame dancing stuff that has gone on in years past because it's made him look foolish. I think they actually might have a chance now. What does Micah Parsons want to become this season? And what did he learn from his conversations with Tom Brady? We have the cuts and we'll play him for a react next year in the nation. Yeah, buddy. Here we go. LA lives coming up in 17 minutes right here. Everything that's been breaking in the world of sports, including Micah Parsons weekly podcast. We have the audio coming up here in just a second. We'll start with Matt Pittman from meet church. This was with Sean and RJ, right? Yes, sir. Okay. segments brought to you by cars for kids. Donate today cars for kids dot org. And this segment is brought to you by the on time experts, a proud sponsor of our expressway commercial free every afternoon of this time, all the way to the top of the hour. So Pittman is like the official pit master. He's a he's a barbecue celebrity, absolutely blowing up. And as the official pit master of the Cowboys, he's got relationships with a lot of these players, a lot of music stars, you know, have him out to cater their concerts. And you know, he's just like the pit master to the stars. Anyway, he was talking about his prediction for a DAC and the contract situation. We assume talks are still ongoing with week one coming up. And here was his perspective on it with Sean and RJ. I think I got everything in there from the official pit master of the Cowboys, Matt Pittman. Keep killing it. Hey, we're going to try and hey, little parting shot. The DAC deal is closer than it is further away. Oh, wow. Oh. So you have that. Chapi was at the height of pleasure. He's a big dad guy. If that if that comes together, I think that makes, you know, Micah a certified insider. Yeah, Bobby Bobby needs to find another gig. Yeah. Yeah. Who's the new host? The love of the star with Ryan run. Exactly. But what a pro to just like on the way out like, hey, oh, by the way, he lobs a grenade and then he just runs away and the explosions behind him and choppies, you know, having to change his pants. It does make a lot of sense. They would get it done before the season starts. It would also make a lot of sense that the elevated discourse, the, you know, the, the war of words in the media last week is just, you know, too great negotiating sides that have had epic battles before, I think throwing their final shots. But I expect this to get done here. You know, before kickoff Sunday, I don't know the exact day, but I think over the next four, four days or so, we're going to see resolution on this. Okay. Let's get to some Micah Parsons audio for you. G back nation, what he wants to become this season. Micah going viral. Here he is. It's the killer, the hit man and assassin, you know, the killer and sloppy. You know, he's probably going to get caught. You know, he's not very good at what he does, but he's a killer. You know, it's, it's raw in the streets car like that. You got the hit man, the hit man might not get caught, but you know, who did it? You know, like, you know, he's probably a little bit more clean and assassin. You don't even know he's there. Yeah, you know, you've done it. You know what I'm saying? So each time you really want to develop in, I think at this fourth of your mark for me, I think I'm ready to be an assassin. Yeah, you know, I think after listening to that a second time, I think you want to be the hit man. Yeah, some people are saying the hit man's more badass because you're kind of looking the guy dead in his eyes like, Hey, the last thing you saw was me as I put you to sleep forever. Yeah, yeah, you, you are a little bit more up in your face. And that's more like, you know, a football player, I think maybe as an assassin, maybe like a golfer, you know, I'm silent. I'm sneaking in here. I'm getting the job. I don't know if the assassin plays in any sport analogy now that I'm thinking about it. That's got to be basketball, a shooter. Yeah, assassin. Yeah, three pointers putting you to be assassin. Yeah, definitely basketball. Yeah, and they're both great. I mean, if you if you get called the assassin, if you're known for being the assassin, I mean, John Wick, you're feeling incredible. If you're known as the hit man, I think you're also feeling pretty incredible. Yeah. But I like I like where his head's at. Ultimately, the assassin is going after the the top of the hierarchy. Sure. He's coming after your quarterback. Yeah, I like that. That's good goals. You know, I think his head's in the right spot. Okay. What he learned from conversations with Tom Brady this offseason. Here's my comparison. Yeah, I think Tom gave me the idea to just pick it up in practice and bring in that spirit and hold everyone accountable. Even when things are looking good and finally using my voice. He's like, he's like, out of all my years, when we want to see what I know what it looked like. So, you know, he was like, man, this is not we practice. And he said that year in Tampa, when they weren't winning, he was like, man, we got to give the like F on like he's like, come on, man, like, this is how you do it. Like this is how the discipline, the structure, the commitment, everything that takes the dialing for the six months, that's the type of stuff that I'm looking for, man. And that's why I think for me, I got to bring more out of the guys. And I'm, you know, I'm bringing my best self every day. And I'm pushing myself trying to show a standard of play that we need to sustain and that we need to show weekend and week out. Yeah, you know, and for what we could tell in Oxnard, he was doing that, you know, he's making that effort to be that guy and hold the teammates accountable. They're rare. They're the guys that are willing to look at their peers and say, hey, we need to do better. Usually players don't want to risk it, you know, and usually players are complaining about the coaches doing this or doing that. And you can be part of the cool club by just sitting around bitching, you know, the real players say, I don't need the acceptance of my teammates. What I need is to make sure my teammates who are a bunch of slappies are focused, you know, and as a coach, you appreciate the rare times you get a player like that. They can keep everybody on task because you can say it as much as you want. You're the old guy, you know, and they're going to tune you out. They can't tune out the player that's up in their face, especially if the player's really good. Sure. You know, so I think all great teams have an element of that. And, you know, maybe Michael Parsons can be that guy for this Cowboys defense help take him to the next level. Okay, how does Zimmer plan on using you? Here's more Micah. I know y'all look at that love PFF stuff, but y'all going to say I'm moving on a lot. Like, I don't think there is a side. I think each, you know, I got my own personnel and stuff. It's going to be exciting. I'm going to say that, you know, and I think I'll probably play every single person. And I think this is the first year where I could be in the 2-I, you know, I could be in the 3, I could be in the 4. I mean, it don't matter. Like, could be a line back, could be in the slot. You know, I could almost be the safety if you look at it that way. In some person. I mean, different positions, do you think you'll play something? I don't know. He got the packaging, but, you know, at the same time, it's all about calling a good game. You know, we're giving up a lot on first down. It's going to be hard to get in those packages. If we're giving up and, you know, they're winning in the marks of the field sticks, you know, all that stuff matters. But if we do, we do, I think I can play a lot of different positions. I just don't think they have enough other great players around that can rush the passer that you're using Mike to be a decoy for like, if we could get Mike to be in a decoy here, that guy's going to win his match. It just the guy's not on the team, you know, Sam Patrick's, right? Sure. I mean, like, we got to see what Neilan can do as a rookie, but that definitely wasn't his strength, at least from what we saw at Western Michigan. Carl Lawson. I mean, that's the guy that they're going to have to try and see. Does he have anything left? Maybe he doesn't, right? So I agree with that 100%, but the way that they can match him up, maybe tank steps up, you get some one-on-one matchups, OSSA in the middle. But this is probably the defensive player of the year this year. I think everything is lined up. The way Zimmer is going to utilize him, and it's also contract time. Like you're not going to be more committed than ever if you're Mike Parsons, but I also think everything's just lining up here. Mike Zimmer is going to be able to utilize his skillset even better than what we saw with Dan. Yeah, and the best way to do it is where is he coming from? But he's got to be on his way towards the quarterback like over 95% of the time. Yeah, I think where Mike is, it'll be interesting, depending on what you think that Michael Parsons plays, if you think he's a linebacker, or an edge, these linebackers might lead the team in sacks. With the blitzes? With the blitzes. How about that? Yeah. And he might, and this is where also too, where maybe a little bit of Jordan Lewis too, with the slot points. In the safeties. I mean, Harrison Smith did a lot of that with him in Minnesota. I could see Markey's Bell and Wilson. Tank will hopefully get his share of those, but I think it's going to be Michael Parsons and a lot of linebacker, other linebackers. And I think it's going to be some secondary guys. This team might not, it'll be about the pressures. They'll create pressure, but do you get sacks? I don't know if it's going to come from your defensive lineman or your edges for that matter. Yeah, I agree. I agree, especially with the ways him or dials it up and the guys that he's bringing in there, you know, so I'm totally with you. But I'm with you, Dawson, where it's like, yeah, it's just about where is Mike coming from for the most part. It shouldn't be dropping into coverage unless it is such a surprise element that you really do fool the defense because of it. And somebody comes home because they were worried about Mike on the offensive line and he was dropping into coverage. But for the most part, that dude needs to be getting after the quarterback. All righty. One more cut here, then we'll get to some of this news that's been developing. How much does Zimmer's vision fit with yours? Here's Micah. I think we'll learn. I think I just had to show Mike, you know, what I'm capable of and what I can do. And everything that he thought out would be, I probably think I've achieved that more. And you know, he come up to and was like, man, you say you want to do this, you say you want to do that. And he was like, man, if you just do this detail so you could be the best ever. And I think he just opened up to my idea how I see things, you know, there's not too much more six-step for me. You know, he was like, all right, we'll get you out there. I was like, I make it living and getting people out of space, Mike. Like I play six-tech if you need me to do it a certain times, but he's like, don't worry, we got you in. You know, we just, there's certain things that, you know, I think, I think it's just part of life that you evolve and we grow. And I think I've been with him. I grew as a player. And definitely on the mental side and he grew, you know, into his players and he adjusted me. So I think we evolved in a good way, like me and him about to meet again, probably after lunch right here. So, you know, it just goes to show our relationship and how we're getting closer and how the faith he has in me and to the system. He's talking about, he said earlier about two I, that's inside three I that's inside technique. Six I is, if you're five technique, you're playing head up on the tackle. If you're six I, you're playing outside the tackle. So he said, hey, don't put me in a lot of that six I, you know, he says, I'll play it if I have to. I think that's where Dan Quinn, I think that's where Dan Quinn felt like that he needed to play Michael Parsons hand down six I outside rush guy. The fact that Mike is saying, hey, put me some inside, put me, you know, he feels like that he has a better shot of winning some inside match ups. They were just showing some highlights on ESPN and it was a couple of different Russians. He had a sack against the Rams where he just destroyed the guard. I don't think it's Carolina to hear it. Yeah. So he, he, he feels like that him playing inside at that A gap, B gap, that kind of attacking that area might be better for him than playing hand down outside. Not that he's not going to play it, but I, I don't know how much he's going to play it here. I mean, he has so much speed, you know, the deception of, and the wondering where is he coming from? His ability to cover ground. He's predictable out there. We can help out there oftentimes our offensive lineman is the left tackle. Yeah. You know, I just, I do think Mike Zimmer is going to be better for Micah than what Dan Quinn was. You could, you could slide to him. And I said, it's hard to chip. You can't chip a inside player player. It's, you can't chip it. Then the back, the back would have to step up and you know, you're not going to chip. Everything on the edge gets chipped. They could also space you. And I say space is they could put a tie it in over there and remove you from it. Instead of being a six eye, you become like a nine, like an outside nine. Yeah. Like a wide nine guy. And that, that, that buys you space too. That buys the quarterback. You have to come another man to get to the quarterback and then not to do it. You might, you might have to deal with a back, a tie it in whoever's to that side. Yeah. So spacing is something to weigh. We'll get into Miles Garrett tomorrow because spacing doesn't affect him like it does others. You know, and that's something I kind of felt like, you know, when you play against these, the Joey Bose's, the Nick Bose's, these guys that are really good passion, spacing it, spacing hurts them because it puts them further away from the ball. And, but this guy, it really doesn't do that. Well, I'm excited about Micah coming up the middle, especially with how quickly these quarterbacks are getting the ball out. I think it just cannot hurt at all. And the, the effectiveness of your pressures, I think coming up the, the middle can, you know, have more of a disruptive factor on the rest of the play, even if you don't get the sack. What do you guys think about the big commander story? They suspended the employee who made comments about the team's players being anti gay and accused Jerry Jones of being racist and anti gay and called a Roderick Dell a $50 million puppet. Yeah. Team says it suspended its VP of content. Ryall and teen is his name. He had been with the organization for four years for comments. He made an undercover reporter for the O'Keefe media group. He met this gal on a dating app, right? On Hinge, met with their twice at local restaurants. According to James Keefe, the CEO of the O'Keefe media group, the interviews took place at a restaurant in Washington, D.C. in June. The language used in the video runs counter to our values at the commander's organization. Team spokesperson said in a statement, we have suspended the employee penning an investigation and will reserve further comment at this time. It's funny. They call it the, they say the interviews, but like he probably just thought he was on a date. Yeah. Yeah. Those are interviews. What do you do for a living? Yeah, a content creator. You mean our dates? It is funny. I bought dinner. So what is he going to get bleep cannon now? I mean, that's a suspension. That's indefinite. Washington, this is, this is to kind of control the story. And then the next thing we'll, they will say conduct detrimental in the league. Especially that organization. You can't, you can't, you know, people say things about the league all the time, the commissioner, I get it, but they'll, they'll, it's in your contract that if they determine that is detrimental, they will fire you. It's in your con, you can't say anything, even if you get inspired on, even if you think you're having a private conversation. Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. I wonder what sort of protection he might have. Like if he has evidence that homophobic language was being used or racism was being used and people were just overlooking it. Cause I, I guarantee what he's saying is, has a very high probability of being based in evidence that what he observed. Yeah, but you, you could say that, but you can't let it get out that you're saying that that's the problem that he has right now. I know, but there's like discrimination and why was I fired? If I was blowing the whistle on something that is against the law, you know, it could be more of a mess for Washington. And he's got real receipts on it for sure. Yeah, it's leveraging a different deal, but this, I mean, it's still a messed up way. It's just how he got caught. I mean, it is kind of, wow, but yeah, he's gone. Yes, indeed. Uh, he's gone and, you know, I'm, I'm interested to see how the story continues to evolve. He goes linebacker Devin White ruled out a Friday season opener against the Packers with an ankle injury. He'll not be making the trip with the team to Sao Paulo, Brazil. He's always heard, isn't he? He's listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice report before being declared out officially today. Okay. Project Veritas strikes again. Do folks like that really belong in NFL offices? What does that mean? I'm not sure. Not sure what that means. Project V. Not familiar. Project Veritas. Project X. Haven't, haven't heard of that, sir. I mean, I know what compound be. Um, maybe that's the, the, the immediate conspiracy. Uh, I'm not, I'm not quite sure. Did you just walk into that one? Yeah, I'm not sure. I was just trying to get some feedback going here on the text. Oh, it's the NFL. Are you surprised though? No, it's the NFL. They had to make a rule, the Rooney rule. All right. We'll, we'll look at you. Yeah, no, you're right. My whole life, you couldn't be a black quarterback. Now all of a sudden, there's like 18 of them elite. Yeah. Not very good. Yeah. 360 Jerry's not anti gay. He's a glory hole kind of guy. There's a blast from the past. I have it. One of the great days there in, in Oxnard. All right. It's time to go into the Pimp Cup. We're Lucious Alexander. Here we go. Man. How's LA? I hit a wall about four o'clock. I'll fight for my life in here in the Pimp Cup right now. I know that feeling. All right. Fighting for my life. Today was a leg day. Oh, yeah. I was listening to this song too. Hold on. See. While doing squats. I felt like a superstar, like a super hero. I kept throwing those weights on that joint. Oh, yeah. Madonna was in her bag on this one, bro. Oh my gosh. You were up at least 10, 15 percent today. Oh, I was doing too much. You know, I was going fast and slow. Yeah. You gotta capitalize when you, when you hit a moment like that. Yeah. I had a cup of coffee before I hit the gym. That's huge. That's everything. It woke me up. See, Madonna was huge in the 80s, but like every 15 years now, she just comes out with a straight banger. Has a video pretends like she's 20 years old again, and then just leaves. Oh, man, I was killing it to this one. All right. Shout out to leg day. It's a hum day. Let's get into it. Right. That's a great read. Hold on. I was killing it. All right. Let's go. It's time to smoke. I can dance. You don't care. Well, it's just I have to go down. Gosh, everybody. What? You don't answer this. You got it. What's one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time? Oh, you got to give them the hot towards spinner that thing. Get me? I don't get you. I think you got to demonstrate. Hot towards spit on it, spit on it. It's but naked winces. Oh, we had that one awesome auto impression. Yeah, it was good. L.A. Live for Wednesday, September 4th. I believe it is the fourth one. Yes, it is. It's the fourth one. 2024. It is a butt naked Wednesday here in L.A. Live where to miss Badu. I too was born underwater with three dollars and six dimes. Hey, L.A. Live is sponsored by kissable dental and then no bill guarantees book online at kissabledental.com. Your kissable journey starts today. Would you say earlier, Eric, about the squats? Oh, you just put some food in here. You're getting parallel. I surely was. I put my butt all the way to the ground a few times. Coach said, if I don't see splinters in your ass, that's the end of this that you weren't getting it done. But was on the ground. I'm screaming in that gym. Hey, I got some random hump day info for you right here. I've seen today. The original Batman, Adam West. Adam West. Adam West. I met that guy. Well, where? Dallas Convention Center. He was signing autographs in front of the Batmobile. Really? Yeah. Wilk Chamberlain of acting. Oh, that's badass. It was like 1990. Him and Burt Ward. That was Robin. Yeah. Well, the original Batman, Adam West, was allegedly, allegedly sprinkled in allegedly. Slut with so many women in Aspen, Colorado, that he was banned from the city for 15 years. What they have been from the city? All the flandering and all the drinking and the booze and even the cops told him, hey, man, you got to get on out of here. He just got in the character. He was in that email. You doka. I'm just telling you, man, if he had something the utility belt for. Hey, here we go. Yeah. He had to get permission to come back to the city, allegedly sign permission. Was there a bat signal that brought him back? Yeah. Yeah. Over the mountains, it was a bad signal. Yeah. Oh, wait, I can come back to somebody. Put they, somebody put they panties on the flag, bro. He was up to eight women's a day. Eight women's a day. He told this to the independent back in 2005. He was about 76 years old. A man started, you know, confessing. Yeah. It's the real reason they called him Batman. So shout out to you and rest in peace. Is that eight arrivals as well? Is that eight apexes? I don't know what that is. I think it's cap when he says eight women's a day because we're the men in that damn town. Yeah. Well, that's why he's not a lot back. They're like a man. They're funny. Sorry, the potentially honey was doing while honey is skiing. Honey, you're sleeping with Batman. All right. Yeah. Did you know Adam West moved into town? Wow. Bam. I ran into him today. I didn't do it today. Yeah, me and Betty. Six of our friends. Oh, gee, back of the day, we do it every weekday on the fan at 2.30. If you see anything floating out there, it'll be afraid to hit me up. What happened? No, he was married to a lady from 1970 to 2017. Damn court marriage. And then he was, wow, man, there's a lot going on here from 1957 to '62 and then from '50 to '56. So yeah, this Marcel Leer was like his wife for all those years. Like he must have been like, he must have been doing some stuff. Well, maybe she joined in. It was the 70s. Yeah, I've been participating. Yeah, it was swinging. Yeah, it was a group stuff back then, man. Into the group thing. Yeah, you can hit me up at Lucky Lucius P.O. social media, Lucius Alexander on Facebook. You could follow us all if you find G Bag Nation on Twitter. Now our winner right here is very controversial. Good Lord. Man, you guys are really kicking it up there on the social medias. Like you always do, though. Like you always do. Jared Sandler called into the G Bag Nation yesterday with some smoke for our General Gavin Dawson. Oh, we got Jared? Yeah, he got a little. Jared, let me get some smoke with Dawson. Yeah. Oh, this is perfect. He wishes you. He wishes you was about to have your own Jared too. I think Buffalo might be the sixth or seventh wild car team as Jared Sandler joins us now to protect his guy, Jack Leiter, who I have been corrected was good yesterday, giving up one run per inning pitch. Jared, good afternoon. How you doing? Yeah, no, no, I just I was thinking, I love you guys. And Dawson, I heard you the other day when you were very passive aggressive with Broadus. I know how you can be. I heard the drive by shot there. That's cool. I was just trying to help you via text, not down like a total. Okay. So you say you're trying to help me via text, Jared. This is not how you address somebody via text in the middle of a segment. Be honest. He did you watch the game, suggesting that I was dishonest. That's where you got sideways with me, Jared, just so you know. But did you watch the game? No, I didn't. Okay. So I saw his numbers. I saw his numbers. I understand that. Okay, I was just trying to help help you out because if you watch the game, then it would be a different approach. I was trying to help you out. I was trying to help you out. First, I had to dunk on your first and help. Yeah. I mean, his word, I mean, I guess, I don't know. You be careful, because he'll come call you up. Yeah. Guess how it ended? No, he wants to smoke. He did. He wanted the smoke. He lives for the smoke, but on the, but on the other side of his mouth, he's like, Oh, no, I'm not trying to do anything. I'm just trying to help you out. He can't help it. No, he can't help it. I mean, he's fighting his confrontation. He's throwing jabs. Yeah. And then be like, what are you talking about? Back it up, back it up, back it up. I just wanted to help out your pathetic little baseball brain. I mean, what's the misunderstanding? That's, that's the energy. Here's how it ended. Is even one of the top Rangers prospects anymore as the number two overall pick? I guess that's my bad for having expectations too high on a guy. You're, you're spinning this because you don't know how else to come back other than by playing the Oh, I guess it's my bad. You're not listening to anything I'm saying, though. Okay, that's the second. So you get me in the last 30 minutes through you, Jared. Goodbye. Bye. See you. See you. See you. See you. See you. See you too. All right. Oh boy. That was just so incredible, man. Thank y'all for that. Thank you. You're welcome. I love my turn. I haven't gotten a chance to say thank you. I got a deal with it. Bang bang. I, I, I agree with the Jack Leiter point you made in terms of he's been disappointing. I think a range of fans we feel that way to this point, but he still has time to turn it around. Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, maybe he'll be a number four starter for you, which apparently would, would be a great result of being the second overall pick. You're just hoping to get a starter pick in the top five. Yeah. I want to imagine you're a man on drive. This is LA Live 105 through the fan owner, but naked Wednesday. It's a hot day. We made it, baby. Getting close. Got a question for the tollos that I asked on Facebook. Shout out to Facebook too. I like how they give you like a Facebook memory every time you log on. Yeah. And it says, Hey, did you know four years ago? Yo, dumbass sent this out. And I'm like, Oh, I didn't delete. Thank you. The memories every day. Oh, you said this out too, idiot. Thank you, man. Yes. I asked this to the tollos that followed me on Facebook in lieu of the NFL football season starting this week tomorrow. In fact, name a Dallas cowboy that should have won a Super Bowl in a Dallas Cowboys uniform. This is a layup here, people. Do you wear? Yeah. Okay. I'm glad you said that. Number one answer on the board, Jason Whitten, wear in Romo, that triplet situation combined, right? Right there. That's number one. Okay. So this isn't necessarily somebody who did win a Super Bowl somewhere else, but not here in Dallas, but just in general. That's fine. I mean, if you felt like there should have won one here in Dallas, there was a chance. I mean, it was giving it his all. And maybe he just didn't have the right. It just didn't quite curl for him. I mean, Mark's wear was definitely rare. It's amazing. You say that because the next one was the only answer is do you wear? Thank you. And now we got Roy Williams, the safety. This is for a headhunter, man. He was so good his first few years with Aaron Woodson. Then he took away his finishing move. Yeah. Yep. When they took away his finishing move, the horse call, I was dead. Uh, Des Brian, of course, ladies and gentlemen, Des Brian, it's in the building. Marion Barber. Yeah. All right. All right, Pete. Sean Lee. Damn, Sean. Travis Frederick. Yeah. Travis Frederick was a good one. Tyrant Smith. I was going to say that I wasn't sure, but yeah, when Tyrant, Zach Martin and Frederick, I think all are kind of together. Yes. They surely are. And they're definitely altogether on my list. Yeah. Scratch, scratch, scratch, scratch, scratch, scratch. Don Maron. Don Maron. Yeah. He had some struggles with those Green Bay Packer teams, those Lombardi teams. That was the ice ball was a tough one, how they drove that ball. And then he lost a game at the Cotton Bowl on a very last second play. Would you say Danny White, all those lost conference title? Danny White. Thank you, sir. But Danny White won a Super Bowl as a, as a punter. Well, he was on the team. Yeah, he was on the team. That's what's on what squad. Who's on the 77 team? I think it was. I think I'm right about that. Okay. Okay. It might have been Mitch Hoops. Maybe I'm wrong. Oh, Mitch Hoops. Mitch Hoops. Let's see Danny White. I think I'm right. I think I'm right. Somebody say the 2012 Pac-Man Jones is a Super Bowl. I don't know what's going on with that particular year. He joined the Cowboys in '76. Yeah. So that would have been, he would have been on the 77 team, right? Now you go look at you, brought us. Math. Just about anybody over the last 30 years, should have won a Cowboys. That's one total said. Donnie Gray. Donnie Gray is a cowboy, but he never played for the Cowboys. Donnie Gray is a rodeo man. Rodeo. And he has championships. So maybe that's the family member. Just want to give Donnie Gray some shout outs and stuff like that. Oh, Donnie Gray. This guy, by the way, White was 62 and 30 as a starter. Yeah, he was really good. They went to the NFC Championship game and then we just lose. They just lose. Yeah. This sucks, man. I better hear it. He hates to hear NFC Championship. Like, ah, amazing the difference now because we're like begging for it. Please, please, please. Everyone on the 2007 and 2014 teams should have won a ring. What's the 22,000? What was that? 2007? I don't know. That was the 13th that was lost to you. Giant here. I'm glad they lost the Giants. Are you going to use your quarters with that interception? Oh, is that in the lights? Yeah. Great. Had the drop. No, no, that would have been a touchdown. That was the number one overall seed. Is it Texas stadium? Yeah. The vision around you. Donnie Gay. Oh, yeah. I'm sorry. Yeah. Thank you, sir. Yeah. Donnie Gay. Oh, the bull rider. Yeah. I said, great. Okay. Donnie. Yeah. Donnie. He is a bull rider. Yeah. I typed it. I'm all thumps. Isaiah Stanback made this list. Are they being funny? Patrick Crayton. What up, Patrick Crayton? You're on the list. People think you should deserve that. I know 17 was really damn good. Yeah. So they went to Cabo. Yeah. Jessica Simpson. Cool, girl. Randy Moss. Randy Moss played the best player that's never won a ring. He's got to be right. Yeah. I think they're sick. Could he have been? He could have been a cowboy, right? Yeah, they passed on him. I see what they got. He passed on him twice. I see what they're doing. I see what they're doing. It's not the boy scouts. All right, Jim Garrett, Jim Garrett. Yeah. Smoke weed. Can't draft him. Come on. Come on. I imagine that tons of a lot of taking him. What else we got right in our career? You could pick name a Dallas cowboy that should have won a Super Bowl in a Cowboys uniform. We got Bill Parcels. Yeah. And Dan Bailey. And Bailey Herschel Walker. I mean, the darn franchise is built on this. Herschel Walker, you I would consider him a Super Bowl champion by moving on from him. Thank God. You got all those picks. So he actually helped you win a Super Bowl. My proxy. He should just get a few. You should get a ring. Yeah. Charlie Taylor. Shout out to Charlie Taylor. I didn't know he was almost a cowboy end up going to the at-the-time Redskins. Redskins. Charlie Taylor. Great player. Good player. Yeah. Turro Owens. Everson Walls. I didn't know Everson Walls didn't have a Super Bowl. Came in like 80, right? Yeah. So he wouldn't have. Yeah. Everson Walls definitely. Rookie record for picks still, I think, with like 11. Digs tied it. Okay. But the rookie record. Yes. Somebody said the great Quincy Carter. Yeah. Yeah, it should have happened, man. But, you know, Romo and him didn't finish the deal. And it would have happened for him. Just like the, uh, what was the other situation we're just talking about? 2014? Yeah. Don't wear it. I said 2014. That's a guy. That's the market. That's the green bag. That's a catch. Yeah. That's a catch. Marko. Hell of a season. He fumbled on that though. That fumble really was bigger play. That was the least pepper strips that he's going for a damn touchdown. Name a Dallas cowboy that should have won a Super Bowl and a Cowboys uniform. Ron Ronald Leary. Ron Leary. Yeah, there you go. Martine Gramatica. Was he? Did he? Was he kicking the extra point or the field role himself? All right. Was he kicking the field role? Yeah. When he was. He was. So Romo Bobble, don't let him watch that play. No bothers me. Okay. You watch the game, Brian. Martine Gramatica just whiffs. All you gotta do is just get some kind of body on Jordan Babbard. You know, you can leap all and Romo's getting in for a touchdown. Come on, Martine. If we didn't have the post game that day, would you have said that? Yes. Specifically, I hope he's not back on the team next year. Romo makes an unbelievable play just to pick it up and try and score. Oh, I thought he was going in. He was inch away from the first down. Remember, they had the review with Whitten right before. Yeah. That one stuck. Oh, I have talking about that. Who was the ref that day that I don't know. Here you go. Bleeping self to start us over. Somebody. Somebody. Wait. Wait. Oh, man. I'm watching this now. Let's see what Martine does. Yeah. He just. Oh, yeah. He is. Yeah. He's he's shying away from contact. What year was that? Was that? Oh, six Colts won the Super Bowl. You know who beat the cold set? You're a Texas stadium, the Cowboys. He's jumping out of the way of contact so that the defender can chase down Romo and get him at the ankles. But to be fair, Martin gramatica looks like a, like, he looks like a make-a-ish kid is out there playing football. - But I just do something, man. - It's insane, dude. - Just throw your body in there, Martine. - If you told me it was a seven-year-old, I'd be like, "I believe you." - They used to make those uniforms, those things called the hutch uniforms with no padding in the helmet. - You get it for Christmas? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Hutch uniform, that's what you have. - Yeah, 100%. - I was hutch, I was a troying in the hutch. - I was 20%. - Bad jersey, bad shoe. And he's like, "Oh, look, I got pads. You got the yard in your brother." - I wore the tracon one too. - Your brother would just wear you out. - Oh, yeah. - You're sick of cuss sittin' on the curb. - Oh, you're the only one with the helmet. Now you're tryin' to run over other people. You know what I mean? Nobody else has the helmet. - And the people without the helmet were doin' better than you with the helmet. - The helmet hurts so bad. - Right there in the front. - It's got like a white bar. - Yeah, right there in the front. - All right, and the other number one answer for the Dallas Cowboys, that should have won a Super Bowl in a Cowboys uniform. This store is still not finished. We have Dak and Zeke. - Okay, here we go, baby. - Dak and Scott. - Could this be the year? - Let's go Dak Prescott. - Come on. - This is the perfect quarter. I think he's like the third... Number three quarterback all the time when it comes to Dallas Cowboys, right? - Yeah. - Number three? - Five. - What? - Akeman Staubach, right? - Akeman Staubach, then Dak. - Who else is... - I mean, you could go Romo or the guy who... We just mentioned Danny White's going to get the NXT Championship games. - Yeah, that part. That part. - There will be people that the playoffs success. They're just not willing to put Dak in there. - Well, you said 2006 we were in the playoffs? - He's gonna finish with the records. - I mean, he plays the best passer rating. That was the Seattle loss. - And he's a perfect quarterback, like when it comes to talking to the media and just being established like that. - He's a true politician. - He is. - He is. - In the game, in a hell of a leader. All right, y'all. Lord Willin in the creek. Don't rise. I'm talking about the body of water. My name is Lucius Alexander, and that's my time. - There he goes. Lucius Alexander's LA live every night.
