13
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: give me a quick fifty seven. Remember Baron Wortham, Yes,

14
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: I do. Linebacker? Yeah do. He came from the Titans, right, yeah,

15
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 1: you know what I like about him. He came from

16
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: the Titans. He was a good player, four or five

17
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: years good player, and came in like two thousand. He

18
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: actually wasn't. I think he was one of the holdovers

19
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 1: from the Oilers. I think he maybe from the Oilers.

20
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: He were fifty two and he got here and he said,

21
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: you know, what this young guy that they got Dexter

22
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: Coakley's he's got it, he's got it going. I'm not

23
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: gonna take kids number. I thought it. Fifty seven's fine.

24
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: He was a cool dude. Yeah he was fifty seven.

25
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: Baron worth it. I can't think of anyone else, really,

26
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: can you? Current guys current? No, Damian Wilson, Warrant, m

27
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: Victor Butler about Davante Holliman, that was one of my

28
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: I was that's probably one of the saddest stories in

29
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: the time I've covered the Cowboys, that he didn't get

30
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: a chance to really let his career. When when we

31
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: do that documentary on what could have been? Guys, is

32
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: that him, He'll be up He'll be up there. What

33
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: could have been? For a lot of reasons, Um, David Irving, Yeah,

34
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, oh, I thought you meant fifty seven. I

35
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: was like, no, no, no, we're fifty seven. No, No,

36
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: just guys on him, Yeah, I got you, guys are

37
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: just man, he could have been, it could have been

38
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: something different. There's a few guys like that, but that

39
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: actually would be a good documentary. Put that on your listening.

40
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: I think, I think I still I'm not gonna say,

41
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: I follow Holloman, but his name pops up from time

42
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: to time like he was a he was like a

43
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: GA at South Carolina after his career, and then I

44
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,119
Speaker 1: think he's coaching high school football now, Okay, I could

45
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: see that. I just I feel like maybe it wouldn't

46
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: be surprising if one day I see him. No, I'm

47
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: not saying like a head coach, but like in college

48
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: or the NFL, just like, oh yeah, like what linebackers

49
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: coach DeVante Hallam And I'm like, well, I'm just what. Okay.

50
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: That just reminds me of another guy that keeps seeing

51
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 1: a lot of that's coaching. And he maybe wore fifty

52
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: seven Kevin Burnett, h Kevin. I don't think it was fifties.

53
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, but he definitely is coaching now. Yeah,

54
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: he's coaching a lot. You see, definitely coach doing a

55
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: lot of things. Maybe he wouldn't fit shout out to

56
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: the bros. Was he wasn't he? There's no such thing.

57
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,399
Speaker 1: There was tru Hey, I had I got a long

58
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: you can't get I mean a long information can't get

59
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: kicked out of the omega. Yeah, I guess, but that's

60
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: not that's not normal. Yeah, you get kicked out of anything.

61
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: Always there you go, there you go. And even if

62
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,839
Speaker 1: you get kicked out, like you're still a brother still

63
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: if you go to the other team, there's no that

64
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: does not happen. Okay, that ain't gonna happen. All right,

65
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: real quick before we get yeah, before we get into

66
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: the cowboys talk, I do need a real quick I

67
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: gotta say happy birthday to my mom. It is her

00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: seventieth birthday. Wow um, and so I'm just like very

69
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: very excited for her today. It's like a really big

70
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: milestone for her. Happy birthday. Happy birth I know she's

71
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: listening because she's a long time breaker, Like she've been

72
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: listening since it was just me and you doing this.

73
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: So she's been listening to pretty much every episode since

74
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: we started doing this. So, oh, I got a video

75
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: you can send her, which one? Well she's listening, Oh okay, okay. Yeah. Basically, basically,

76
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: like four years ago, I got Zack Martin to say

77
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: happy birthday to my dad wearing number seventy. He was

78
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: wearing seven. Happy birthday from number seventy, Zach Martin, and

79
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: he said, you know. And then three years later, when

80
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: my mom turned seventy. I kind of trimmed off the

81
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: first part when you talked about that, and I sent

82
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: it to her happy birthday, so I have a happy

83
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: birthday from numbers. That would have been so awesome. That

84
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: would have been so awesome if you just had not

85
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: just sit that on the air like actually, I could

86
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: have used it kind of said that. Maybe he shouldn't.

87
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: Can you told him to say it? Anyway? I did?

88
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: You're right? Do you think we're gonna get a flat

89
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: tire in the ditch here as we're maybe driving here?

90
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: Maybe didn't you write an article about that, something about

91
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: flat tire if you start, if you keep driving on

92
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: a flat it will end in a blowout. Well, okay,

93
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: let's jump in real quick again. Happy seventy the birthday

94
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: of your mom. Love you, all right, So here's what

95
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna do. Let's talk a little bit about injuries.

96
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: Let's start first there because there are quite a few

97
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: we need to catch up on. Let's start with Tyren Smith.

98
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: We'll see and we'll see that's what that's what Jerry said. Okay,

99
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: we'll see. Okay, after you read through what Jerry said

100
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: and what Mike said, what's your thought? I don't. I truly,

101
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 1: I truly don't have a read. I know Jerry says

102
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: the best way to get over this injury is to

103
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: give it rest and to get back on it. Well,

104
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: well he did well, he did say he did say

105
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: that this is not one of those injury. He said,

106
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: It's gonna get better whether you're on it or not,

107
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: is what he said. And right, and he said, he said,

108
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: this is an injury about pain. How much pain can

109
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: he tolerate? So that makes me wonder like can he

110
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: come back this week and just deal with a lot

111
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: of pain or after sitting out a week, is the

112
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: pain lesson to where it does make sense for him

113
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: to get because out he was with the rehab crew

114
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: yesterday working and getting up on it like he's not

115
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: off his feet, he's he's taking steps to getting back

116
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: onto the field. I don't know what that means for

117
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: this week. If it's about if it's about pain tolerance,

118
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: I'm not going to bet against Tyrn Smith, that's for

119
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: damn sure. So yeah, Thursday, Thursday is the new day

120
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: where I sort of make determinations about how I feel

121
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: about things. Because we've said with Garrett it was Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,

122
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: you're ramping up. But now it's they kind of do

123
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: stuff Wednesday. Thursday is the real practice. They don't practice

124
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: at all really on Friday, and then they do something Saturday.

125
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: So thursday's the padded practice. We'll see what he does,

126
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: all right. Talk to me about Ezekiel Elliott. He had

127
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: the I think it was a knee contusion there in

128
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: the game. They wrapped it in a heating pad. Then

129
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: he came back on the field. What are we hearing

130
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: at this point? Zeke said, after we were done ask

131
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: him about that. When the interview was over, he was

132
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: just like, I'm doing this every Week's first time you'll

133
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: ask me about it, Like he means the first time

134
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: he's came out of a game for it. It's right.

135
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: He didn't come out of the game though, like he

136
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: rotates with Pollard all the time. That's yeah. But after

137
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: the guy fell on it, you saw him limping and

138
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: he called he went onto the sideline and then he

139
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: didn't come back out the next time. Maybe that was

140
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: already gonna be Pollard's series, But I'm just saying he

141
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: didn't miss like this crazy amount of time. He went

142
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: back in in the same quarter that he left. He's

143
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: been dealing with this all season. He's been on the

144
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: injury rapport before as football. I'm not gonna say he's

145
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: fine because I'm sure it bothers him. But he's not

146
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: gonna miss time because well, he was playing thirty to nothing, right,

147
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: wasn't he out there towards the while? He was definitely

148
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: out there? And yes, yeah, first of all, yeah, yeah,

149
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: so's you know. I mean I think that that's a

150
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: good sign there too. If if it was really bad

151
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: and the game was out of reach, you know, he

152
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: like I said, like if I if I told him

153
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: you're fine, right, he'd probably like laugh, like, of course,

154
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: I'm not fine. I get the crap beat out of

155
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: me every week, but I'm gonna play. I feel like

156
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm good. It's not a big deal. All right,

157
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: let's talk about Michael Gallup and thank Lawrence, Boats still

158
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: have not returned. Michael Gallup's going to play against the Falcons,

159
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: all right, Thank Lawrence. Uh. I mean we've been talking

160
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: about and I think it was it was longer than

161
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: a lot of people anticipated. I think that's fair. I

162
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: think part of that was Jerry even said that today

163
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: he was like it was close enough that in hindsight,

164
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: you're like, maybe we should have played him in this game.

165
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: Of course, nobody in the world thought they really needed him. Um,

166
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: but they said last week that if he didn't play

167
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: again Stenver, he'd be ready for Atlanta. He's his practice

168
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: window is up either tomorrow or Thursday. They have to

169
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: activate him. He's going to be up and playing against

170
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: the Falcons. Yep, need and needed. Um, you know, I

171
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: think it'll be interesting to see how they how they

172
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: rotate him in but um, probably less reps for Noah

173
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: Brown maybe or definitely a league turner, you know, but

174
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: he wasn't playing a whole lot anyways until it got bad.

175
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: So um, but yeah, I'm I'm anxious to see kind

176
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: of how they could. And even Jerry said this morning

177
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: that his deep threat, you know, that's something that we're

178
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: you know, needed and and something that Gallip obviously provides.

179
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: Tank to my knowledge, they have not started the twenty

180
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: one day window. So yeah, what did we say last week?

181
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: I feel like we said we're hopeful for for Thanksgiving.

182
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: That would be fun, but that even that, I mean

183
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: wild how the season works that way where you look

184
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden. Thanksgiving is two weeks away,

185
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: so uh might be Saints. We'll see. And I get

186
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: that that's frustrating because he got injured week two and

187
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: you say two months, So two months from September eighteenth

188
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: is November. I get that, but these things don't always

189
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: follow a perfectly linear path. And even if he's even

190
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 1: if he comes back in December, you've still got him

191
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: for four or five games. And then on top of

192
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: where whatever happens with the playoff situation, which despite the

193
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: sky falling this week, still think it's a good bet

194
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: the Cowboys will be in the playoffs. They we have

195
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: walked off of that one. Well, it depends when you

196
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: talk to you. But yeah, so we'll we'll see. I

197
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: would still I'm still hopeful for Thanksgiving, but maybe a

198
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: little bit later. All right, Let's let's talk a little

199
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: bit of Broncos strategy. This week. We heard some interactions

200
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: after the game. Vic Fangi, who is the head coach

201
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: of the Broncos, said that the teams haven't played the

202
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys right, talking about how well they were able to

203
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: perform against this Cowboys offense. McCarthy says, in response to that,

204
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: this is a copycat league. I hope they do so.

205
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: And he was talking about referring to even Dak's comment

206
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: where he said, you know, I hope teams do actually

207
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: look at this and want to keep doing what they did,

208
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: because I think we can beat that. And we even

209
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 1: talked about it a little bit last week. Brandon Staley

210
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: is a kind of a disciple of Vic Fangio and

211
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: Cowboys did have some challenges offensively against the Chargers. That

212
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: was one of the defenses that's probably given them more

213
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: trouble than any other defenses this year. And so my

214
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: question for you guys is what did you see in

215
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: this game that may have been the Achilles heel or

216
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: the thing that can give Dallas a bit of problem?

217
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: What did they do that was very different, maybe than

218
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: other teams have been able to do. I'll be very

219
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: transparent this. I mean, it's Tuesday morning. It's super annoying.

220
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: The game pass ALL twenty two. I don't know if

221
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 1: it's up yet. It usually isn't up till Tuesday. I

222
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: haven't had a chance to watch any type of All

223
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: twenty two angle and give you some type of great

224
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: breakdown of it. But just off the rip and Mike

225
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: McCarthy probably said this four times. The Denver played match Man, which,

226
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: without going too far into the weeds, it's it's what

227
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: he's known for, which is dropping in coverage. Match Man

228
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: is basically you can switch between more of his own

229
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: look and a man look depending on what you see,

230
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: which sounds insanely difficult to me and takes a high

231
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: amount of precision and communication. You can go. Brian Baldinger

232
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: did a great breakdown of this. If you bald these breakdowns,

233
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: he goes viral, like every Monday. Of the interception that

234
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: Caden Sterns had of Dak, he had a guy coming

235
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: out of the slot. He was carrying him over the

236
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: middle of the field, realized what Dak was doing, communicated

237
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: with the safety behind him, and passed his guy off

238
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: and then dropped into a zone in the middle of

239
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: the field and was just waiting for the past. All

240
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: of that happened in the time since the all was snapped.

241
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: You just again, you gotta be on your p's and

242
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 1: q's and you can just move within the scheme depending

243
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: on what you see. That's not unique to Denver, though,

244
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: Like that's the thing that most NFL teams can do.

245
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: I think The big difference for me is that Denver

246
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: didn't have to bring extra pressure to bother Dak the

247
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: stack going around, as they blitzed fourteen percent of the time,

248
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: which is the lowest of the season by far. Dak

249
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: was like running away with the league lead in terms

250
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: of how often he was getting blitzed. So not only

251
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: were they not doing that, which means you can have six, seven,

252
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: maybe even eight guys in coverage, but they were still

253
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: getting home. Like the ridiculous Hail Mary that we talked

254
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: about yesterday where Dak had like he got all the

255
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: way out to the sideline and threw it sixty yards

256
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: to Dalton Schultz on a third and twenty one. It's

257
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: three man rush, and they still bothered him that much

258
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: to where he was flushed and had to run twenty

259
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: yards to the sideline. I just think Denver did a

260
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: way better job of pressuring him with fewer people than

261
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: anybody we've seen before. It's easy to blame the tackles,

262
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: but I wonder if there was more to it than that. Yeah,

263
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: and I think just them, like any game, you know,

264
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: not being able to run, you know, running the football

265
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 1: can offset a lot of those things. A lot of

266
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: the down and distance that you get yourself in and

267
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: that that I thought was a big problem too, first

268
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: and second. Really on first down, they just never seemed

269
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 1: to get anything going. Um, you know, every once in

270
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: a while they did, but it just felt like it

271
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: was second nine, second and eight, second and ten and

272
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: unlike what Denver was able to do on second down

273
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: on offense, the Cowboys just weren't able to do that

274
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: when this was the one game I thought this year

275
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: that when they got behind the chains, they didn't make

276
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: up for it. And we were noticing that they could

277
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: do that, and a lot of these games, penalties weren't

278
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: hurting them. Sacks early weren't hurting them because they were

279
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: explosive enough. Not in this game, And I think what

280
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: Dave said, I mean, I just think getting pressure, because

281
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: when you can play that way, then you can play

282
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: his zone and man and do all that because you're

283
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: you're you're getting there, and it's a it's unbelievable when

284
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: you think about the injuries that they've had and then

285
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: trading von Miller away and Chubb and Miller was supposed

286
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: to be their guys, and you know, and you go

287
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: back and look early in the season. They were, they

288
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: were playing really well on defense. Still are. Yeah, So

289
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: if I learned anything from this matchup, I don't know

290
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: much about Vic Fangio. He's in the A. I mean,

291
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: I know who he is. He was in Chicago. His

292
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: very well respected. He's a great defensive mind. I knew

293
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: all that, the two deep safeties. He's a big part

294
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: of what everybody's trying to do. I just didn't know

295
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: a lot about him as a guy. And I came

296
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: out of this matchup like, Okay, Vick Fangio has a

297
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: really high opinion of himself, which a lot of football

298
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: coaches do. But not only did he say he said

299
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: three things after the game that I missed because you know,

300
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: we cover the Cowboys. We're focused on what happened to

301
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. In the postgame press conference, he said nobody's

302
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: played them the right way. He said, you know, I'm

303
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: in charge of the defensive calls in the alignments, so

304
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: we knew that was going to be good. Like, that's

305
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: my responsibility, So we knew we were going to be

306
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: on top of that. And then he started out as

307
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: press conference by saying, as Jimmy Johnson would say, how

308
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: about them Broncos all in the span of like ten minutes.

309
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: So I was just like, man, this meant a lot

310
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: to you, or you're really amped about this win, like

311
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: tip your cap. They beat their ass. But I just

312
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: I came out of it like, damn Vic Fangio, like

313
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: talk talk, you're trash. I guess, man, he's gonna be

314
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: good coordinator for someone next year. Well, honestly he had

315
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: to double down in that instant. I mean because all

316
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: week I'm sure he was telling his team nobody thinks

317
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: you guys can win. Everybody's counting you out. We're gonna

318
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: go in there, We're gonna beat him. And so when

319
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: you do that, that's the kind of win that can

320
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: propel you are some better things. Like they're a middling

321
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: team right now, but they certainly can get on a

322
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: run maybe if they can have the right pieces in

323
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: place and do the right things. I'm really interested to

324
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: see where they go because if they play like that,

325
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna win a lot more. And AFC is not

326
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: like nobody's running away with AFC. So we've also like

327
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: and that's the reason why those of us on the

328
00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: outside took them lightly. They haven't looked like that year,

329
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: Like they're struggling to score seventeen eighteen points in games,

330
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: losing to the Browns who didn't have anybody the week

331
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: they played. I mean, so, I'm just are they all

332
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: of a sudden gonna go on this run and contend

333
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: for the AFC West or a month from now? Are

334
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: they going to be hovering around five hundred losing the

335
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: bad teams And we're like, man, that's a bad looking

336
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: they They're going to lose next week at home against Philly.

337
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: They just will what I think? So, yeah, just the

338
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: way it works out for the Yeah, yeah, they beat

339
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, they beat their hals and then so the

340
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: cow of like, at least at least you can just

341
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: keep it up and beat Philly. They won't. They won't.

342
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: The free and four they won't. They won't. I don't

343
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: think you're definitely wrong, but Philly ain't. Grady, No, No,

344
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: they're not. Think I think the home for teams like Philly,

345
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: I think the home fil advantage in Denver is hard

346
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: to overcome when you're not just a better team, and

347
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: I don't think Philly's a better team like that. The

348
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: altitude is a like, that's a that's a hard thing

349
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: to get that is that is a tough place to

350
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: play at. This is more. But I was wondering, remember

351
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: we went up there in seventeen. Broncho fans do this

352
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: annoying thing every time the opposing team throws incomplete they yell,

353
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: comb please remember that Dak threw like forty in completions

354
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: that day. Are so annoying. In the fourth quarter on Sunday,

355
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 1: I was like, are we gonna hear that here? Like

356
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: there are enough Broncho fans that are would have gotten

357
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: that would have been demoralized. Yeah, fortune we didn't hear it,

358
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: which was nice. So how concerned do you, guys, all

359
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: that being said, how concerned do you that other teams

360
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: really can do this to the Cowboys? That that maybe

361
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: playing coverage against Dallas and mixing up your coverages to

362
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: where Dak can't get a good pre snap read and

363
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: be able to get rid of the ball quick. How

364
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: much do you think that can affect them if other

365
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: teams are able to do that to them. I'm not

366
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: and I know I know that the Chargers and the

367
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: Broncos aren't identical. No team is doing the exact same stuff.

368
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: But that's Staley's part. Of that tree. Staley does the

369
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: same stuff. He got a head coaching job because what

370
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: he was doing as the DC with the rams and

371
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: they piled up yards on the chargers, uh and and

372
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: and people disguising coverages has never bothered him to this point,

373
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: Like the windows that he can fit throws into, it

374
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: doesn't bother me at all. Um. And I think there's

375
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of defiance there where it's like, you're

376
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: not going to be like, I hope we don't see that,

377
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: Like that's really confident guy. Of course he's gonna say

378
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: he hopes to see more of it. But no, I'm

379
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 1: not thinking I'm not super worried. But there's a lot

380
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 1: of factors involved there. I mean, not everybody can do

381
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: what what Denver does. Not. Not everybody's schemes it the

382
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 1: same way. They don't have the pass rushers the same

383
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: They don't have the discipline in their secondary. You have

384
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: to you have to be really well coached. You can't

385
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: just go out and just do the same thing, um

386
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: and say, well, we're just gonna run the same stuff

387
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: that the that the eighty five Bears ran and will

388
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 1: be you know, it didn't. It doesn't always work the

389
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: same um. But also, you know, I think what we

390
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: said yesterday and let's don't know, you know, underestimate the

391
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: fact that that the wide receivers were not at one

392
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: hundred percent all that they were out of sync with

393
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback. And that's not what we've seen all year long.

394
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: So if Atlanta comes in here and does it, then

395
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: I think the next Monday we'll hit panic buttons and

396
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: stuff like that. But I just think there's a lot

397
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: of factors in seventy seven. The left tackle. I think

398
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: that's a big factor as well. I don't I mean, whoever,

399
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 1: whoever was rushing to the edge for Denver, I don't

400
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: think has the same kind of success. I guarantee you

401
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: if I would have interviewed Terrence or Tyrn Smith after

402
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: the game, he probably wouldn't have been like, yeah, I

403
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: was a lot more challenging than I thought it would be.

404
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 1: Over there, Now, well that was I mean, that's a

405
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: seventh round pick that got his first two sacks of

406
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: his career against Terrence Steele. I don't know. I don't

407
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: know that he gets on the stat sheet against Tyron yeah,

408
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: which yeah, I mean I Tyron being in the lineup

409
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: is a big part of that. Although, as we talked

410
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: about and we'll continue to talk about, you can't count

411
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: on that. You can't count on it this week and

412
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 1: who knows how many more weeks where that'll be an issue.

413
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna take our first break. Comeback. We

414
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: got to talk about the defense, and I want to

415
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: zero in a little bit on Trey Von Diggs. We

416
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to talk about him yesterday, but

417
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: coach McCarthy had something very interesting to say about his aggressiveness.

418
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that when we come right back. This

482
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 1: trying to get a get a laugh in before I

483
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: get up. Yes, I look at my phone for probably

484
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 1: twenty minutes before I get out of it, and dogs

485
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: just looking at you, like what we go to the broom? Yeah?

486
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: Can I police go outside here? He knows better. He's

487
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: like he'll get up when he wants to get up.

488
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,479
Speaker 1: I just got to hold it, to keep holding it, basically,

489
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 1: keep holding it. All right, let's get back in. I

490
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about trey Von Diggs this defense. They

491
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: had six plays that were twenty plus yards, including a

492
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: forty four yard touchdown to Tim Patrick. That was some

493
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: of the work of Treylon Diggs after the game when

494
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: asks about it, I think, Dave, I think you were

495
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 1: the one that even asked him about it, and his

496
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: response was His response was, it was a double move,

497
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: good throw, good catch, and I mean pretty simple. That's

498
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 1: exactly what it was. And we've heard that now a

499
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: couple of times here in the last few weeks where

500
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: teams got him with a double move, and I actually

501
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: I saw Mike McCarthy said something that was interesting when

502
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 1: asked about that. He said, he's probably a little too

503
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: aggressive right now. Some of his penalties reflect that. That's

504
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: really the focal point of what we want him to improve.

505
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: But by no means do we want to take want

506
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: him to lose his aggressiveness. That's a big part of

507
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: who he is. So my question for you guys is

508
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: where's the balance. Do you think they need to kind

509
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,959
Speaker 1: of coach him to be less aggressive and in doing that,

510
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: risk the fact that he gives up the aggressiveness that

511
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: gets the turnovers. Or do you let him just keep

512
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: playing and hope that he can just be a little more,

513
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 1: a little more smart about when he's gonna be aggressive

514
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: and not well, I mean it's SNU incidents. I mean,

515
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: he didn't even know who night Train Lane was and

516
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: Everson Walls and now he's getting compared to these guys,

517
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: and there were stats and has a chance to break

518
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 1: records and all that, and how could you not want

519
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: to keep doing that? And it's working and then now

520
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: teams are figuring out ways to to you know, kind

521
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: of offset that. So, um, there's no I don't think

522
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: there's a right answer to this. It's just like we

523
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: always say, how are they're going to play defense? They're

524
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: gonna play it in a lot of ways. There are

525
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: times he's gonna have to learn as a second year guy.

526
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to learn when to take the chances,

527
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: when to you know, to calculate these moves when it's

528
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: a right time to do it. Yeah, I mean, if

529
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: the coach says he needs to be less aggressive, then

530
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: that's probably what you know they'll be because giving up

531
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: a twelve yard pass, a nine yard pass or whatever,

532
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: it's not as bad as obviously fifty yard touchdowns. And

533
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: so you know, getting rid of those chunk plays, it

534
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: might it might lose a little bit from him. I

535
00:25:54,880 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: might say something controversial right here, Oh, I he got

536
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. If you go back and watch the replay,

537
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 1: was it just a case of him being this overaggressive corner.

538
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: I went back and watched it, and I asked Dan

539
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: Quinn about this yesterday. I asked Trayvon about it too,

540
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: really good throw a really good catch, Like, go watch it.

541
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: He stops short when he doesn't stop, and then when

542
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 1: he goes, Trayvon's right with him, Like it's not like

543
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,239
Speaker 1: he tried to jump a route that wasn't there and

544
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: was trailing the play by three yards. Like I thought

545
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: the coverage was pretty good. And so the reason I

546
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 1: say controversial is I'm like, am I making excusives? If

547
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 1: I just tend more toward well, yeah, you're gonna get

548
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 1: beat sometimes in the NFL. I think the play that

549
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: I would want back more was the defensive pass interference

550
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: in the front of the end zone where he just

551
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 1: got there too quickly. That's aggressive right there. That's and

552
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: I get it, it's a tough play to make, but

553
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: you put him on the goal line by getting there

554
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 1: too quick. You just I would think you can time

555
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,719
Speaker 1: that up better. I have more issue with that than

556
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: the still the same issue though, Yeah, I mean the

557
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: question is do you think that they need to coach

558
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: him to be a little less aggressive or do you

559
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: think they just can't let him keep playing. I'll let

560
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: him keep playing, honestly. The results are good to this point,

561
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: and it's the same thing as the offense. Like like

562
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 1: Nick said in the first segment, like we can press

563
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: panic buttons if this turns into a trend and Trayvon

564
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: has given up yards. That's kind of been consistent throughout

565
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: the season. But the returns to this point are worth

566
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: the risk in my opinion. So I don't know, that's

567
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: just kind of how I feel. Yeah, I kind of

568
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: agree with you, Dave, because the way I look at it,

569
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: I think that you need playmakers on this defense with

570
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: the kind of offense that you have in most weeks,

571
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: not this last week. Obviously we're not talking about that,

572
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: but in general, what we've seen from this offense this

573
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 1: year is that they're highly explosive. They'll create a lot

574
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: of points. They're gonna put pressure on the opposing team's

575
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: offense to continue to score in that kind of instance,

576
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: I'd rather have the aggressive type who can get some turnovers,

577
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: who can make them pay for being aggressive, for having

578
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 1: to be aggressive, rather than somebody that sits back and

579
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: just always gives up the nine, twelve whatever yard catch

580
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: and never actually takes a chance and creates a turnover

581
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: win when you get him in an advantageous situation. I'll

582
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: even go as far as to say, and again I

583
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 1: haven't had a chance to watch the All twenty two.

584
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but I think somebody, maybe it was dan

585
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 1: quinn just made the point, or maybe it was McCarthy

586
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: that defenses have had a month to see what he

587
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: doesn't handle well and what he does, and it's he

588
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: It seems like he has trouble with over routes. These

589
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: you know, these long routes that crossed the field. Remember

590
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: Feeling had a big one on the fourth and one. Really,

591
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: one of the most backbreaking plays in that Denver game

592
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: for me was the third down. It was only like

593
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: an eleven yard game, but Teddy slipped the pressure and

594
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: just threw a beautiful ball to Patrick right on the

595
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: other side of the sticks, and that was It looked

596
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: like it was Treyvon's guy, at least at the start

597
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: of the snap. Again, I don't know, maybe he tried

598
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: to pass him off or whatever, but on those plays

599
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: where it's hard to get leverage, that's where it seems

600
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: like he struggles to me. But the fact of the

601
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: matter with that, I think almost every cornerback is very hard.

602
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: Probably the hardest ride to defending man is at that

603
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: deep drag route because the guy has the leverage, he

604
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: has the inside position to be able to go across

605
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: the field and trying to keep up with that's just

606
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: very difficult. Right. And then the very next play was

607
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: a forty four yard touchdown, So I mean he had

608
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: him chasing all over the field on that play, didn't

609
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: make the play, extended the drive first down. The very

610
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: next play they line up on the same side and

611
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: they beat him for a touchdown. Yeah. I think, more

612
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: so than anything with his play style, I worry. I

613
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: just worry about the challenge of being kind of a

614
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: lightning rod, because I think that's what Treyvon is right now.

615
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: He's leading the league in interceptions, Cowboys can't keep his

616
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: jersey on the shelves. Fans are just dying like, oh, Digs,

617
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: he's Oh, he's our new Dion and then he plays

618
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: for the Dallas Cowboys. So everybody who doesn't love him

619
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: hates him and thinks he's overrated. And you can like

620
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: search his name on Twitter, you'll get both. It's a lot.

621
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: I've been asked that ten times, is he overrated? And

622
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: of course I answer the same thing, what's his rating?

623
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: Like I hate that question, which is well, the thing

624
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: that and I'm just relaying the information. I don't have

625
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: an opinion on it, but I think PFF graded him

626
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: out like one oh one overall in terms of his

627
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: coverage grade for the season, and that made a big

628
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: wave on social media, and social media is not a

629
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: real place, but that's this. That stuff weighs on players.

630
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: They don't like to admit it. Some of them are

631
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: better at blocking it out than others. But there's just

632
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: a firestorm around how good or not good treyvon Diggs

633
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: is right now, and I hope he doesn't let that

634
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: get to him. Yeah, I mean, but honestly, that's that's

635
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: a lot of what I think we already kind of

636
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: knew about him is he take chances. He can make

637
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: some plays, he's got great hands, but but he also

638
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: can get beat. Last year, he was a nice little

639
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: bright spot on a bad team that nobody was really

640
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: paying attention to. Now he is the face of the

641
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: defense of the most polarizing team in the league, and

642
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: that's a lot. That's a lot. I mean, Dak like,

643
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: Dak is probably the only person on this team that

644
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: can truly relate to what that's like. You know, I

645
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: think it's profile is bigger than than Parsons right now. Yeah,

646
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: you know, he's on He's on pace first, I mean,

647
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: and first of all, Mike is a rookie. Second of all,

648
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: Digs is on pace to break like the all the

649
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: all time ever record in the NFL. Like that was

650
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: the pace. I don't know if he's still on it,

651
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: but you get my point. And then he plays this

652
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: position that is also polarizing, where you're either locked down

653
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: or you're a bum like there's no in between. You're

654
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: either getting cooked or nobody can throw on you. Again

655
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: in the eyes of fans and social media, which shouldn't

656
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: matter as much as it does. But that's the world

657
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: that we live in. Yeah, all right, let's uh, let's

658
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:48,719
Speaker 1: do this real quick. I want to get to this

659
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: other topic regarding the defense uh Cowboys yesterday Mike McCarthy

660
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: said that that. Uh or I saw that, so I

661
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,719
Speaker 1: think it was Dan Quinn maybe even it said it. Uh.

662
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: He said they had fourteen miss tackles this game and

663
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: this this game, which was a season high for them.

664
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: Are you concerned at all about teams that come out

665
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: and have that kind of running game, like, again, it

666
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: doesn't even have to be a great running back, but

667
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: just lining up and just running the ball right at

668
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: this Cowboys defense. We saw New England have some success

669
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: doing it. Are you at all concerned about what that

670
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: tape looks like and if there are other teams out

671
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: there that are willing to do that and on a

672
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: day when you can get their offense not to be

673
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: as explosive. It looks like it's something that can be

674
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: an Achille zeal for this Dallas defense. Yes, you have

675
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: to be concerned by it because they don't they have speed.

676
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: They have they're more under size, they can get to

677
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: the quarterback, they can get around and make plays. But

678
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: if you get hat on a hat. They're gonna lose battles.

679
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: Even Michael Parsons is gonna lose some of those battles.

680
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: Right there, Layton vander esh is not doesn't seem like

681
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: the same guy it was a couple of years ago.

682
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: As far as taking on some of those blocks and

683
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: getting hit like that the defensive line. Osa, those guys

684
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: are quick, they got they got out there fast. But

685
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: when they don't, they get beat. They get you know,

686
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: they get well. Do you think that that maybe their

687
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: quickness and their aggressiveness is also what's getting them hand

688
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: that they're trying to get. Feel so quick and sometimes

689
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: you get right out of the gap, of course, and

690
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: so you know, there's just not a lot of big, strong,

691
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: fast guys, you know in the NFL, I mean not

692
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: super big and super fast. It just doesn't always work

693
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: dk metcass right, I mean those guys that they're just

694
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: not normal. So it's one of the other and Dexter

695
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: Cokeley that win. Those guys they could fly around and

696
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: slither around all that, but when they got hit by

697
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: big sixty two coming right at him, they probably lost

698
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, So it's concerning. It's concerning that that

699
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: they the way that the makeup is. I think Neville

700
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: Gallimore when healthy, will help. And I think Tank Lawrence

701
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: is a really good run stopper for being a defensive

702
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: end that's high profile, he's a good run stop. Torrens

703
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: are strong the same and how I wonder how much

704
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: more they're going to give him because I think he's

705
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: a better as good a run stopper as he is now.

706
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,719
Speaker 1: He's not a a perfect player, but I think it's

707
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: a good run stop. I'll be interested to see how

708
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: much they work him into the game. This is an

709
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 1: ill adjust as I go if I'm wrong, But that,

710
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: more than anything, I think, is the evidence that this

711
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: team just wasn't mentally ready on Sunday because it was ugly.

712
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, Denver ran for

713
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: four point six per carry, which is good but not incredible.

714
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a lot of it was they got

715
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: gashed well big play so but here's the thing. New

716
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: England ran for four point four, Minnesota ran for four

717
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: point two. Like they're not that great against the run.

718
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: They haven't been all year. Having the lead is part

719
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: of that. But even in closely contested games like New

720
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 1: England and Minnesota they had some success with the run,

721
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:48,280
Speaker 1: but did you see just that embarrassing sort of effort

722
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: where guys are constantly getting free, Like Dalvin Cook had

723
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: one nineteen yard rush, I think it was Stevenson had

724
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 1: a twenty yard rush. But by and large they're fighting

725
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: for those yards. You're not seeing these lapses. Well, we

726
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: saw Sunday was just probably seven plays that should have

727
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,919
Speaker 1: ended with a four or less yard carry that went

728
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: much longer. The really embarrassing one, obviously being when Javonte

729
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: Williams was like in a bear hug and just was like, nope,

730
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: y'all are all. I'm done with all y'all yeah, um,

731
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: And like it's just such an outlier from what we've seen,

732
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: even when in games when they weren't good, you know,

733
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: which just makes me think, I don't think y'all were

734
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: ready to get smashed twenty five times the way that

735
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,439
Speaker 1: you typically should be. I think it's pretty obvious when

736
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: you look at it. I mean, no one's gonna say it.

737
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 1: I'll say it, but they missed Jayalen Smith. I'm just kidding.

738
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding, but I was. I was, I was

739
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 1: bracing myself as like nontroversy stop it, Nick. No, they don't.

740
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone does right now. He hasn't been

741
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: picked up, right, I don't think so we would have

742
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: heard that, not that I'm aware of. Let's just leave

743
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: him alone. No, no, But but they they miss a

744
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: physical presence there, and and and Parsons and Laton they

745
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: are they're physical players and they can do that. But

746
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying that they missed jas when

747
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: when they missed the guy that was going to the

748
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, they missed that guy. I mean, he misses

749
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: himself like that. I mean, but that that guy's not

750
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: here anymore. But they do miss a big physical presence there,

751
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: and that's one thing that he provides. And you know,

752
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: Jabill Cox wasn't going to do that. He's more of

753
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: a safety type guy, I know. I mean he did not.

754
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones out pretty good. But I'm just saying, I'm

755
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: just saying they need some physical type linebackers. And I

756
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: brought not just linebackers. I brought this up on Twitter

757
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,399
Speaker 1: yesterday too. And I don't know this for sure. It's

758
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: an underreported thing that they haven't had bren Urban for

759
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: two weeks either, and that's he's not. His stats are

760
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: not great, but that's his job is to just clog

761
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,720
Speaker 1: things up for everybody. He's a super strong, physical guy.

762
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: He's playing thirty percent of the snaps before he got hurt.

763
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: Probably early rushing downs would be your guests, right. Um.

764
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: Having said that, somebody who doesn't know anything about football

765
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 1: could watch that game against Denver and see that they

766
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: were just running off right tackle at will. And that's

767
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 1: not a Brent Urban thing. That's a setting the edge thing.

768
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,280
Speaker 1: Back to DeMarcus Lawrence, can you hurry back please, because

769
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: he I know people don't want to hear it because

770
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: of how much money he makes, but man, he's good

771
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 1: at that. I want to know what the NFL record

772
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: is for for tackles for loss in a loss. I

773
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,959
Speaker 1: mean that that's not normal. Ten tackles for loss. That's

774
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: that's it was feast famine in that game. But by

775
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 1: the time Alabama taken on you know, Samford, you know,

776
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: like that's that's what happens when a you know, FBS

777
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,479
Speaker 1: takes on the FCS. By the time the game was over,

778
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, we get together after it's over and kind

779
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: of huddle about what we want to write about and

780
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: everybody's like, yeah, Micah, And in my head I was

781
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: like really like because I mean, and he did, he

782
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: had an amazing game, but by the time it was over,

783
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: I just it just felt like an afterthought because you

784
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: talked to him. No I did not, but he was pissed.

785
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: It's a pity he gets pissed after wins. I mean,

786
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: he's just that's just his his nature. I mean, he's

787
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 1: That's what I said yesterday about you know, I like

788
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: what they what they have with him, because I think

789
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 1: he just he's one of those guys. I mean, he's

790
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: just it's a cliche, but he's a football player. That's

791
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: what he is. You know, know what position he is, Linebacker, defenseman,

792
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: He's a football player. He wants to keep getting better. Um,

793
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens, you know, in the next couple

794
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 1: of years. He'll he's gonna get asked to do a

795
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 1: lot of things. He already is getting asked to do

796
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: all all that. If he keeps that kind of drive,

797
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: which I think he will, I mean, I think he

798
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: can be a really special player. Yeah, yep, all right,

799
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: we gonna take our final break. When we come back,

800
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: I want to talk a little about the decision that

801
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: they made to keep Dak playing in the end of

802
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: the game. We had some response from mccarthyon that yesterday

803
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: even ary this morning. Sounds like they're they're sticking by

804
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: their decision. I want to get your opinions on whether

805
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:05,600

00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: you know that. I don't know, like I love the

884
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: idea of Thursday's Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving it's its own thing. Everybody

885
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,399
Speaker 1: you have the big meal and then Friday. If you're

886
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: into Black Friday, go for it. That's not for me,

887
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: but college foot the rivalry games are on, and you

888
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: can start putting the tree in the decorations up while

889
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,919
Speaker 1: the iron bowls on. It's just that feels right to me.

890
00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you, but if you want to put

891
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: your tree up now, that's this is America. Even in

892
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: years where I wasn't like star Christmas earlier like I

893
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: am now, it was still a true like for years,

894
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: it's been a tradition for me. On my ride to

895
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: the stadium Thanksgiving morning for Cowboys Thanksgiving game, I played

896
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: Christmas music just because it's to me, that's kind of

897
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: the beginning of the Christmas holiday is Thanksgiving, so that's

898
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: that's fine. That like Thanksgiving weekend is when all bets

899
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 1: are off in my opinion. All right, so we're fair there,

900
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: which is two weeks away. But so stop it. You

901
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 1: do whatever you want, do whatever you want. I'm just saying.

902
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: That was the way I'm saying, So stop all the

903
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 1: other stuff. All right, all right, So real quick, Dak

904
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,919
Speaker 1: Prescott played into the fourth quarter. Game was well out

905
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: of hand. I think everyone knew at that point it

906
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: was what it was. They were not going to win

907
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: that game. He was still out there and playing. Michael

908
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: McCarthy yesterday doubled down on that, said it was the

909
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 1: right decisions what they need to do. Dak said, Hey,

910
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 1: if anybody would have told me to come out out

911
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: of being like, no, I'm not coming out, I'm playing

912
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 1: that all being said, do you right, do you agree

913
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: with the idea that he should have been playing at

914
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: that point or do you just kind of like, hey,

915
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:07,800
Speaker 1: it's fine, he can keep playing. It's it's good for

916
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,399
Speaker 1: them to find some rhythm before the next game. One

917
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,280
Speaker 1: thousand percent agree, And I'll tell you why. I agree

918
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: that he should have been out there if he wanted

919
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: to be out there. He should have been out there.

920
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: He's the leader of the team. And the example I

921
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 1: have is the fourth quarter against Denver twenty seventeen. That

922
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: moment will always stick out to me. As far as

923
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:34,760
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott is a football player, that is out. He's

924
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: a quarterback, but he is a he is a baller.

925
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,359
Speaker 1: He threw a pick I think a key to leave.

926
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:42,720
Speaker 1: He's either to leave or Chris Harris. I don't remember

927
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: he win a hundred yards das ninety five yards round

928
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: there battling with blockers and stuff, trying to make the

929
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 1: tackle all that. His running back certainly didn't chase anybody

930
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,879
Speaker 1: that day. He was just trying to get over ten

931
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: yards and I don't think he'd made it eight. He

932
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 1: struggled that day and it was but not Dak was

933
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 1: playing the whole game. He fought his ass off that day.

934
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 1: That was the one time that I remember. It was

935
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: the second year, but I was like this guy right here,

936
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: win or lose, like you can go to with me,

937
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: and and he did the same thing. So you don't expect,

938
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,839
Speaker 1: I mean win or lose. Fourth quarter. He's your guy.

939
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 1: You can't be the guy when you know when when

940
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: it's going well, you got to be the guy all

941
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 1: the time, and he has been the most consistent when

942
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: it comes to that, so he's got to be out there.

943
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: It was to leave. You're right, Uh, this is the

944
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 1: same argument as the preseason, Like there's the being smart

945
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,240
Speaker 1: you don't need to be out there, versus football players

946
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: play football during football season, like that's what they do.

947
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: I think you could probably strike a balance. I didn't

948
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: have a problem with the first drive. The game got

949
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: out of hand. They looked terrible. He hadn't played in

950
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: three weeks. Live action reps are a good thing. I

951
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,399
Speaker 1: get all that, and they went and scored. I don't

952
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 1: you make fun of me if you want keep getting

953
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 1: the shut out out of there is an important Yeah.

954
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 1: We're both like, yeah, I'm kicking a field goal. I'm

955
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: not not getting shut No, I wouldn't like down fifty

956
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 1: points on the five yard line. I'm kicking the end

957
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 1: with two seconds left. I'm the go for it guy,

958
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: but I'm kicking the field goal at that point because

959
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: it's like, well, you're not gonna I'm not gonna have

960
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,359
Speaker 1: to think about this game forever, and that's my only

961
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: shut out. This game is not going in the media. Guy,

962
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 1: this isn't gonna be a sense this. Nope, nope, we're

963
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 1: not doing that. When I told Todd Archer, who sits

964
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 1: next to me from ESPN and he's writing a story

965
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: about nineteen ninety one and an Eagles but home, and

966
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: I'm just like, I'm sorry, now you can just delete

967
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 1: that because they ain't not getting shut out. So there's

968
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 1: a balancing act. I thought. The first drive, I'm like, okay,

969
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: that makes sense. The second drive, I was kind of like,

970
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? Why we're tempting fate? And

971
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 1: I get everything you just said, but Dak is a

972
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: guy that needs to be protected from himself. That's what

973
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: we've been saying this whole time. He's gonna push it

974
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: and maybe even too hard, and then to score the

975
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: second can touchdown and run a QB keeper for the

976
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,919
Speaker 1: two point conversion? What are we doing? And that like,

977
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 1: it's football and we play football, and that's just a no.

978
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:09,839
Speaker 1: We gotta use our heads a little bit more than

979
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,319
Speaker 1: that guy's. We gotta not be running our quarterback in

980
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: a BS situation in a game that's already been decided.

981
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 1: So what happens if and I think one of y'all

982
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: mentioned this. Dak does get pulled out thirty to nothing,

983
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 1: you're out and they lose thirty to sixteen. What happens then,

984
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,720
Speaker 1: meaning like Cooper Rush leads a scoring drive, two scoring

985
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: drives down doesn't change it. I don't care. I don't

986
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 1: change anything, not at all. Not y'all too. Maybe not,

987
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 1: But I honestly, I don't think for anybody, because I

988
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: don't think there's anybody out there is going to make

989
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,839
Speaker 1: the claim that Cooper Rush is a better quarterback than

990
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. Nobody with any real understanding of what's happening

991
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 1: on the field is going to make that claim. Cooper's

992
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,839
Speaker 1: mom okay, fine, But by the way, Cooper's mom thought

993
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 1: that's when the game started. She thought thought before the

994
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,400
Speaker 1: game started. This doesn't change down for her. I'm not

995
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: saying it changes anything. I'm just there's there's some arguments

996
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 1: you don't really want to deal with. You know, Dak

997
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: doesn't want to deal with that. We saw it at

998
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks. He doesn't want to do about Yeah, I

999
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 1: think Dak. But I think that's also because Dak is

1000
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 1: just a football player. He wants to play. If the

1001
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 1: if the game's going on, he wants to play. Okay,

1002
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:18,879
Speaker 1: I get it. I'm not gonna sit here and say

1003
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 1: that they would be like, oh we should play this

1004
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: guy or not play this guy. But I think it

1005
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: then it comes down to was he ready? Because if

1006
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 1: everyone believes that Dak's better than Cooper Rush, then why

1007
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: is it that Rush comes in he played, he played

1008
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,839
Speaker 1: really great again or played well against Minnesota they won,

1009
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 1: and then why is he coming in here doing this

1010
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: when Dak didn't Because we know at that point in

1011
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 1: the game, for the same reason the Cowboys got sixteen

1012
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:43,839
Speaker 1: points there at the end of the game, defenses played

1013
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: you different when they're up thirty to nothing. Well, we

1014
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: didn't have to deal with it, so we didn't. I

1015
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 1: mean I would. I would kill for somebody to try

1016
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,240
Speaker 1: to make that argument to me. If that had happened,

1017
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 1: I'll eat it alive. I mean, that's whatever would it

1018
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 1: would come. It's not about who's the a quarterback. It

1019
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:04,399
Speaker 1: was the guy wasn't ready. He wasn't ready to come

1020
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,839
Speaker 1: back and play. We thought he was. We thought one

1021
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: game that he was that was immediately. I mean, like

1022
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:11,839
Speaker 1: the argument that he wasn't ready to play. Yeah, maybe

1023
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 1: obviously he played really poorly. It had nothing to do

1024
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: with his calf. I mean, go look at the way

1025
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: he was running for his life all day. Yeah, that

1026
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 1: play I brought up earlier. He gets flushed by three

1027
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:25,359
Speaker 1: man pressure. He does like two loop the loops and

1028
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 1: then gets out to the to the boundary and then

1029
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 1: heaves it to Dalton Schultz. It must have been a

1030
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:36,479
Speaker 1: sixty yard throw. You don't do that on a bum calf. So, yeah,

1031
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 1: he was rusty. He looked like crap. I think I

1032
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: think that was the worst game. That was the worst

1033
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 1: game that he's played since Cooper got here, bar none.

1034
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: Even I mean even like Buffalo nineteen, Buffalo Thanksgiving two

1035
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 1: years ago, Chicago two years ago. Like he's played some stinkers.

1036
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 1: I think that was the worst he's ever played since

1037
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 1: he kind of became since he took that step and

1038
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: it happened, and the coincide with a day when a

1039
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 1: lot of other guys around him we're also having You

1040
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,799
Speaker 1: had receivers that when he did get the ball to him,

1041
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 1: didn't catch it. You had offensive line in that I know,

1042
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 1: and so was somebody on Twitter was making an argument, well,

1043
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 1: he actually had more time than he normally has in

1044
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: the pocket. This was about Dak. Well, No, I think

1045
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 1: the problem is if you watch a lot of those plays,

1046
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 1: he might have had a little more time before he

1047
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 1: threw the ball, but he was running for his life

1048
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,800
Speaker 1: early on, and there were a number of times that

1049
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 1: that basically still just got beat around the corner and

1050
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: Dak was the one extending the play because he'd get

1051
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 1: out of that and then try to look for an

1052
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:34,319
Speaker 1: opportunity to get the ball down. I don't like that

1053
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:38,840
Speaker 1: stat at all because it's it's not always indicative of

1054
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 1: what happened. The stat was, I mean, how long he

1055
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:44,840
Speaker 1: took before he threw the ball. Well, some quarterbacks can

1056
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 1: extend that play longer than others, roll out there because

1057
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: of their athleticism and then throw. It's like, well it

1058
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,319
Speaker 1: took three seconds. It's not like he was standing there

1059
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:56,399
Speaker 1: one Mississippi to Missippi, three miss If you throw it

1060
00:51:56,520 --> 00:52:01,439
Speaker 1: was one, holy f roll right whatever row. So yeah,

1061
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 1: So I just think it was that that was the

1062
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 1: tough part for this game is that not really no

1063
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 1: one on the offensive side. I don't think there was

1064
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:09,359
Speaker 1: a single person on the offensive side of the ball

1065
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 1: that had a good day. Fine, there a lot of

1066
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 1: guys that had there had an off day? What's the

1067
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 1: fine for cussing? I feel like the last two days

1068
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 1: and who closer I'm getting me, I'm getting closer and closer.

1069
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 1: It's a job thing. Somebody ending on the words you do.

1070
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 1: You know what's funny, somebody asked me that question. I

1071
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 1: heard that before last week. It's not in the manual.

1072
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 1: I told you this too. They're asking about as our

1073
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: show live and I'm like, yeah, it's live. And they said, well,

1074
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 1: what happens if you drop an F bomb? Who's got

1075
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,359
Speaker 1: the button? And I'm like, there's no button at least,

1076
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 1: but they yeah, like the cowboys, like the third floor,

1077
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 1: they've got the button. We just don't do it. Like well,

1078
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 1: what if you drop an F bomb in the middle

1079
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: of the show. I'm like, then did you'd probably just

1080
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 1: say okay, go and pack up your stuff. You don't.

1081
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 1: We go upstairs and we say, hey, well can you

1082
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 1: go in and kind of mess around with that because

1083
00:52:56,800 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 1: I make that call immediately like don't make this slive.

1084
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 1: I've had some I've had some moments. I've definitely had

1085
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: some dicey You've never gotten to that point though, luckily, yes, Derek. Yes,

1086
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 1: we've never gotten to that point. Knock on, alum. I

1087
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 1: do get a little worried every time we have somebody

1088
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 1: like Charles Haley on No it's I'm like, I don't

1089
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 1: know what ch'all's gonna go with whatever answer he has.

1090
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 1: But luckily I don't recall us ever having death. This

1091
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:27,319
Speaker 1: is purely equival It's not it's not worth saying. But

1092
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say I think Ezekiel Elliott is allowed

1093
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 1: to like look at himself in the mirror and say,

1094
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:36,799
Speaker 1: I played pretty well in this game. He played a

1095
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 1: good game. He made an outstanding catch that kind of

1096
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 1: spurred them on when the game was that the one

1097
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 1: where you took off down the sideline after the injury.

1098
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,439
Speaker 1: I averaged five yards of carry in a game where

1099
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 1: the run got away. I mean, because I wouldn't fight

1100
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 1: you on it doesn't matter. But like, for as much

1101
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 1: as we kill him when he doesn't deliver, he he

1102
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 1: did his part. I would try to help win this game.

1103
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 1: I wouldn't fight you on that. I don't know why

1104
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 1: the game got away from him. Yeah, and so they

1105
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:04,439
Speaker 1: couldn't use him in the same way. But I don't

1106
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 1: know why I feel the need to bring that up,

1107
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 1: like he's he'll be fine. His paycheck. He got his

1108
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 1: paycheck today and it's very large, but he's good. Yeah.

1109
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 1: You know what though, I mean, if he gets and

1110
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 1: it wasn't necessarily his fault, but if he gets, if

1111
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: he can get one yard on the first drive of

1112
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:25,320
Speaker 1: the game, on the fourth and one, I mean, it's weird.

1113
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 1: Things can change totally differently and they still have to

1114
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:30,439
Speaker 1: go further and score again. I mean, it was only

1115
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 1: like the forty yard line or thirty five or whatever.

1116
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 1: But I thought, and I had to look at it again.

1117
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: I thought he got cute trying to cut it back

1118
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:42,360
Speaker 1: there when he didn't stay with the blockers on that play.

1119
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 1: But I don't know, I haven't really looked at the

1120
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:46,880
Speaker 1: end zone angle. I just felt I felt like the

1121
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,319
Speaker 1: play was going that way and he and a lot

1122
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 1: of times you can kind of cut it back and

1123
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 1: you know, he's running the ball more than I have

1124
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 1: in games. But I don't know. I just thought, you know,

1125
00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 1: the it's flowing that way, you've got Lael, you've got Amord,

1126
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 1: got the tight end, like, trust them to do their

1127
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:04,320
Speaker 1: thing and you can get one. And he kind of

1128
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 1: cut it back and I mean you're cutting it back behind,

1129
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: be honest at that point. And nothing against him, but

1130
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:11,360
Speaker 1: he's not the other two. You know, he's not the

1131
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: right side. That's why you run right you play right handed.

1132
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,839
Speaker 1: And so um, I'm with you. I mean, he played great,

1133
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 1: but I mean those plays that it's I've honestly forgot

1134
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 1: about the early fours down. There's more to it than

1135
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:25,799
Speaker 1: just him not getting it. But yeah, I mean could

1136
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 1: have changed the whole early part of that game, you know.

1137
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 1: And we didn't talk about this yesterday. I was a

1138
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 1: little nervous, just kind of like, this doesn't feel right.

1139
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 1: You know, what's noon and you know there's there's a

1140
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 1: lot of orange, and I thought there would be, but

1141
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 1: just you know, it's like, okay, there's a lot, you know,

1142
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 1: just keep looking and like, okay, you gotta have a

1143
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 1: spark here. And Tony Poller breaks off a fifty yard

1144
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 1: fifty four yard kickoff return and that bench was insane,

1145
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 1: like they were jumping around and they got the crowd

1146
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 1: into it. I was like, you know, this could be

1147
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 1: a play. I'm always looking for those five plays. I'm like,

1148
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:01,879
Speaker 1: this could be one that that you could remember and go, hey,

1149
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:03,400
Speaker 1: you know, there's could have been a little bit of

1150
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 1: a letdown, but boom, Tony Pollard fifty yards and then

1151
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:08,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna go score right four out And so I

1152
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,840
Speaker 1: was like, wow, Denver did a nice job of weathering

1153
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 1: that and saying now and stopping him. That was kind

1154
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 1: of key because that kickoff return was setting them up

1155
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 1: to get them sparked. Yeah, I thought I thought they

1156
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:22,799
Speaker 1: were going to blow them out up until probably up

1157
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:26,840
Speaker 1: until the long touchdown that made it what thirteen nothing

1158
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 1: like for the like the whole first even after Denver

1159
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:32,840
Speaker 1: scored the first touchdown, I was like, this has happened

1160
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 1: a million times. I thought they would win on the

1161
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 1: block punt. I thought when it was sixteen to nothing,

1162
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:39,880
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, this is setting up for the

1163
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys to have one of those games where they come

1164
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 1: back and they didn't play well in the first half

1165
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 1: and now they get going and they win his game.

1166
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,400
Speaker 1: It wasn't until much later, like Dax said, when you

1167
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 1: have that realization that yeah, today they're not gonna win.

1168
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 1: So they're really not gonna win take your pick, even

1169
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 1: going all the way back, like we bring up the

1170
00:56:57,120 --> 00:57:00,799
Speaker 1: Jets games so much, even then it go. It went

1171
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:04,279
Speaker 1: down to the final play like it's very unusual in

1172
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 1: my experience for a Cowboys team to just never kind

1173
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 1: of claw back into it. Just the whole thing is

1174
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 1: just a beating from beginning to end. All Right, we

1175
