We'll get to some questions in 20 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: the third segment as well. But let's talk about injuries. 21 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: Let's catch up on some injuries. I'm gonna throw out 22 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: some names, and you guys tell me where they are 23 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 1: at this point as far as their health and their 24 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,119 Speaker 1: availability for tomorrow night's game. Let's start first with Anthony Brown, Dave. 25 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: Anthony Brown was limited over the weekend. I would guess 26 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: that he's gonna play if we ever do play this game. 27 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. It feels like it's been 28 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: three weeks since the Cowboys have played a game, so 29 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: maybe in that regard, you know, it's a lot of 30 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: time for Anthony Brown to get right. You know, he 31 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: suffered the injury against the Vikings, didn't play on Thanksgiving, 32 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: so that's it's a long time to sit on the shelf. 33 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: So the fact that he upgraded to limited, it seems 34 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: like a good sign. All Smith, where's he? Well, he 35 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: practiced this week and he was missed a couple of days. 36 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: It was sick, missed a couple of days, came back 37 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: to practice, so I would imagine he should be ready 38 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: to go. The one I'm most concerned about Donovan Wilson. 39 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: What's going on with him? He's got a groin and 40 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: he hasn't done anything significant, so we'll see. I wouldn't 41 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: say I feel optimistic about it, though it might be 42 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 1: Darry and Thompson time. Is that the best Just when 43 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: you get I was gonna say that, it feels like 44 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: just when you start getting excited about a guy, something 45 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: happens to that person and he ends up getting injured. So, man, 46 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: they just cannot catch a freaking break at all. Welcome 47 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: to twenty twenty. It seems like the story of probably 48 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 1: the whole country, but definitely the Cowboys this year is 49 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: every time you think you might be moving in a 50 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: positive direction, or you might be getting good play out 51 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: of a certain guy, something just inevitably has to happen. Well, 52 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 1: I mean, you can't play the thing that you're excited 53 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: about with Donovan Wilson is this is the same reason 54 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: why he's going to be on the injury report fourteen 55 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: times every season. Doesn't mean he's gonna miss that many games. 56 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: He's just gonna be banged up because he plays like 57 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: he doesn't care about his body. When you throw it 58 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: around and you hit people like that, you're gonna get 59 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 1: banged up too. We saw it, you know, we've seen 60 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,679 Speaker 1: it with running backs that run that way. We see 61 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: it with linebackers that play that way. I mean, if 62 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: you if you are an intense player that plays recklessly, 63 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,399 Speaker 1: you're gonna get banged up. So it's recklessly a good 64 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: word for that, well for your body. Yeah, okay, okay, alright, 65 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: but reckless. Hey, we've been asking for someone that isn't 66 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: afraid to tackle. True, we've been asking for someone who's 67 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: not afraid to tackle, and we finally get a guy, 68 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: and yes, that's gonna I mean, injuries are bound to 69 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: happen when you get someone that plays that way. But 70 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: at the same time, it's like, what do you want? 71 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: You can't have it all at the same time. So 72 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: I'd rather get a guy, all right that's not afraid 73 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: to hit someone? Yeah, I bet. I mean we might 74 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: just be sitting here talking and then they've rested him, 75 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: but he could be like, oh, I'm playing you know sure. 76 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: I remember interviewing a player one time after a game 77 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: and he said, I'll be fine next week. And it 78 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: was like week six and he was on IR for 79 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: the season. So yeah, they never know said he'd be fine, 80 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: that he'd be he'd be back next week. When I 81 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: talked to him when he had a boot on. I 82 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: guess it was a Steelers game. Yeah, he meant next month. Yeah. Man. 83 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: A lot of times the player is going by, Oh, 84 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: I've had pain before. I can play through pain. But 85 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: then the medical people see it and they're like, no, 86 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 1: there's no way we're gonna put you back out there 87 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: and let you play with that. Right. But that all 88 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: being said, like how much does this affect the defense? 89 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: And I know it seems kind of strange, Like if 90 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: you're if you're looking at this as a big picture thing, 91 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: it seems kind of strange. We're talking about Donovan Wilson 92 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: in a way where it's like, oh my god, he's 93 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: gonna be out, but he has been one of the 94 00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: bright spots of this defense. How much does it affect 95 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: them him not playing? If he doesn't play against the 96 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: Ravens Camber, I mean, that's just another guy to go out, 97 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: a guy that was actually starting to do some things. 98 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 1: He wasn't he wasn't perfect or anything, but he was 99 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: someone that brought fire to the defense, and it's something 100 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: we've been lacking. And it's just unfortunate because you have 101 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: had so many different injuries in the secondary as a whole, 102 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 1: and now you get the safety position and then we 103 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: I know you were going to mention Stephen Parker as well, 104 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: who's another safety guy who it's what is the ankle 105 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: and it's still I don't know, it's it listed as questionable. 106 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:47,119 Speaker 1: I forgot ye or is the OL's questionable too? Yeah, 107 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: So it's just again another hit at the depth of 108 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: the position, at a position that the Cowboys were already 109 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: struggling to begin with. So it's very unfortunate and this 110 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: is obviously going to affect the Cowboys and the defense 111 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: is gonna have to rely, in my opinion, on the 112 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: defensive line and get the most support that they can 113 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: get from them, pressure and attack right there and then 114 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: hope that the linebackers can do their job as well. Dave, 115 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: how much do you think this affects them if if 116 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: if they don't have Donald Wilson out there? You know, 117 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: when you first asked the question, like my immediate reaction 118 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: was like the Saint Tyrant Matthew, you know, But now 119 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: that I'm thinking about it, it's probably it probably would 120 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: not be very good because Donovan Wilson, he's got a 121 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: lot of he's got a lot of work to do 122 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: in coverage, like that's where he seems to struggle. That's 123 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: and that's the hardest part of playing safety. So that 124 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: makes sense. But what does he do well? First of all, 125 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: he's around the ball, he makes hits, he plays the 126 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: middle of the field. Well, you know, he's the classic 127 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,359 Speaker 1: let them know you're their type of player. And what 128 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: do the Ravens do? They run the ball and I 129 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: we're going to talk about it. Mark Andrews isn't going 130 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: to play in this game, but they still utilize tight 131 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: ends and they are better when they're throwing the ball 132 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: between the numbers, which is where you know a good 133 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: thumping safety is probably gonna be. So, yeah, that doesn't 134 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: sound good to me that a guy who can make 135 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: hits maybe forced fumbles. Maybe you know, stop marking Grimm 136 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: or JK. Dobbins for six yards instead of letting him 137 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: go for fifteen. Yeah, that could be problematic. And we 138 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: know what the other safeties on this roster look like 139 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: because we watched them for the first eight weeks before 140 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: Donovan Wilson got his shot, So not super encouraging if 141 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: he can't go for sure, you know, obviously he's kind 142 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: of what they were saying is he just brings like 143 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: a jolt of energy to the defense, So you know 144 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: it'll be a big it'll be a big loss from 145 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: from that standpoint. You know, Darry and Thompson, if he 146 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: plays me, he's okay, He's just solid at best, but 147 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: he doesn't do he doesn't have that wow factor. And Wilson, 148 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: while he does struggle and at times in coverage, I mean, 149 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: most safeties do um, but he brings he makes up 150 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: for it with his ability to, you know, make a play. 151 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: That's one thing that this defense hasn't really done. It's 152 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: gonna make a play so that they're gonna miss that 153 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: if he doesn't play. But again I'm I'm I'm just 154 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: kind of thinking he probably will. And I don't know this, 155 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: I'm just guessing he might. I'm guessing he will play. 156 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: If they don't have him or Stephen Parker, what do 157 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: they have just far as bodies, what's left? As far 158 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: as just the bodies they have to play? Wait, say 159 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: what if they don't have Stephen Parker or Donovan Wilson, 160 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: what do they have it? Just as far as bodies 161 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: are concerned that can play safety, they have Darien, They 162 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: have Xavier Woods. I'm like, thrown off. I'm not sure 163 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: what nick. Later day, when we talked about this in 164 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: a meeting, we talked about it, and you're talking about 165 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: the rookie. Dave's like Reggie Robinson like he was like, 166 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: oh yeah, Reggie, Yeah. Well, I mean I gotta oh 167 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: that guy that goes to show where we are that 168 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: it's we thirteen of the season, and I forgot about 169 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: him because the guy hasn't gotten a jersey yet. So 170 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: my god, I mean, if Donovan can't go and Reggie 171 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: Wilson's or Reggie Robinson I'm sorry still can't get a jersey, 172 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: then I don't know what to say. But yeah, that's 173 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: that's a really good point. I guess that's that's a 174 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: silver lining, is that if he can't go, maybe maybe, 175 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: just maybe we'll see Reggie. I got see it to 176 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: believe it. Well, you gotta think if both of them 177 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: can't go, if Wilson can't go and Parker can't go, 178 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: then I think, like, who else do they have? I 179 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: don't know how the joy you have. You almost think 180 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: you gotta put him out there and see what he 181 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: can do. Unless you want to take one of those 182 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: corners where by the way, you're shorthanded there too. Yeah, like, 183 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 1: where are you gonna put back there? I want to 184 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: say this is not good. I mean, but I want 185 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: to say DeAndre Burton has played some safety. I mean 186 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 1: he looks like a safety. He's like six two to 187 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: twenty five. I guess he could play some safety. You know, 188 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: we've talked a lot cheeto they move. Oh what like 189 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: if they move cornerback to safety on two days notice 190 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: instead of playing Reggie Robinson, I might lose it. And 191 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: I'm not saying Reggie Robinson is this great player. I 192 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: mean he had a rough trading camp. I get it. 193 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: Sometimes guys take time. But I mean, you know, we 194 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: I feel like we've said this a million times in 195 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, like it's a break glass in case of 196 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: emergency situation, like if he can't find some snaps in 197 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: a situation like this, that's just it's really disheartening to 198 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: hear about a fourth round draft pick. I'm sure we'll 199 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: find out hearing about I don't know, a few hours. 200 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: That's about the time when they when they take off 201 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 1: on road trips on the day before the game is 202 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: usually when they have to start elevating players from the 203 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: practice squad or moving them up and making all kinds 204 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: of changes. So you expect to see some kind of 205 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: news from that, and I would say in the next 206 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: two hours, and if nothing happens, if they don't move 207 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: him up, then you probably start feeling a little bit 208 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: better about Wilson and or Parker being able to play, 209 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,959 Speaker 1: because just from the standpoint of bodies, you would think 210 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: they feel pretty good about it. All Right, we're gonna 211 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: take an early break.

And 261 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: here's the first question I'd like to pose to the 262 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: group who must have a better day for Dallas to 263 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: be successful. Andy Dalton or Zeke Elliott. Let's start with you, 264 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 1: Nick Oh, Zeke. You gotta go with Zeke. Why because 265 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: he's the guy that has to play well. The running 266 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: game has to be effective. You're not you mean you 267 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: need him to be resembling a superstar. You don't need 268 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: that necessarily for Andy Dalton. He needs to he needs 269 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: Zeke to play well. He plays well than Andy Dalton 270 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: will play well. Um, I think you need Zeke Amber 271 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: I think Zeke as well. I just have a feeling that, Um, 272 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: Cowboys tend to have a better ending when the running 273 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: game is successful, when Zeke has a better day than 274 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: the quarterback. So I just have a feeling that if 275 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: they get Zeke moving and he's able to have a 276 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: better game, the Cowboys might and just might might get 277 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: away with a win. Babe, sounds like he's gonna pick him. 278 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: I think Dalton's it's Andy Dalton. It's a quarterbacks league. 279 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: I don't think. I mean, could anybody tell me the 280 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: last time like Zeke took over a game and just 281 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: made it happen when the other stuff wasn't working, like 282 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: passing games not Their quarterback can't stay upright, and Zeke 283 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: it just didn't matter like Zeke winfull Derrick Henry and 284 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: did it all himself, because I don't I couldn't tell 285 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: you the last time that happened. And I think running 286 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: backs tend to have great days when the quarterback is 287 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: keeping a defense honest, So I mean Zeke. They both 288 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: need to play well, don't get me wrong, but Andy 289 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: Dalton has to find a way to scare the Ravens 290 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: into thinking the passing game might work. Whatever that looks like. 291 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: He's got to keep that thing honest because just like 292 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: every other team, especially since Dak went down, I'm sure 293 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: the Ravens are gonna be like, we're not gonna let 294 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: twenty one be the reason why we lose this game, 295 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: not with a compromised offensive line and a backup quarterback. 296 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: So I would assume they're going to focus on Zeke 297 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: and they'll probably be successful because teams usually are when 298 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: they do that. So Andy Dalton's got to get him 299 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: out of that mindset. So he needs to have it's 300 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: more important that he has a good game. In my opinion, 301 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: that just seems It's funny. Amber and Dave have completely 302 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: different answers there. I mean, and because you think about it, 303 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: the quarterback. We've seen the quarterback play really well here 304 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: with stats and yards and all that and then get 305 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: their ass kick and lose. So you know, and I 306 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: agree with Amber on that one. Like when Zeke plays 307 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: well when the running game is there, they typically win. 308 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: So I've seen the running game do well and then 309 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: win way more than I've seen the passing game do 310 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: well and then lose. So I think it's the running game. 311 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to say like one's right or wrong. 312 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just saying I don't know if I've 313 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: seen that before. Well, the running game works well when 314 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: you just dictate the game to the other team, like 315 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: when you can do what you want, they can't stop you. Typically, 316 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: like you know, like right off the right, off the 317 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: top of my head, I'll I can't get this game 318 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: out of my head. Is the loss of the Vikings 319 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: last year. We're dack through for like four hundred and 320 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: thirty yards and Zeke really wasn't doing much of anything 321 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: and they did lose that game. I would argue that 322 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: they maybe lost that game because they took the ball 323 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: out of their quarterback's hands and crunch time. But I 324 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: just think I think running is a running success is 325 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: a byproduct of winning the game and being the better 326 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: team more often than not, unless you just get up 327 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: Barry Sanders or Derrick Henry Day. From my point is, 328 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: I mean, we haven't seen one of those from Zeke 329 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: in a long long time in my opinion. To that point, 330 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: do you think Zeke has become or has always been 331 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: the type of back that needs great blocking in order 332 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 1: to be successful? And do you think that's a fair 333 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: way to judge a running back, Dave, Let's starve you. 334 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 1: I mean, what is the evidence that suggests that that's 335 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: not true? And further, I've said this a million times, 336 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: I still think it's true. Like I'm I'm not worried 337 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: about Zeke in the long term. You know, when this 338 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: offensive line is a little bit healthier and the starting 339 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: quarter back is healthy, I think he'll be just fine. 340 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 1: But I mean, there's the evidence to suggest that he 341 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: can make it work all by himself. So it's that fair? 342 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: Is that fair to judge him in that way? Though? 343 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: When he's making the amount of money he's makings, that 344 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: is how you should judge him. Yes, that's that those 345 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 1: are the expectations that come with a fifteen million dollars salary. 346 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 1: And I've said that a gait, like you know, I'm 347 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: a broken record sometimes, but it's not ideal, like Zeke 348 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: is just not a generational running back who doesn't need 349 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: talent around him to make it work. And honestly, there's 350 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 1: probably only five or six guys in the history of 351 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: the NFL that you can say that about. So it's 352 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: not a knock on Zeke that that's true. It's just 353 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 1: an unfortunate circumstance. So like I said, you know, I'm 354 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not trying to rush to cut the 355 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 1: guy or make him take a pay cut. It just 356 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: it is what it is that I'm just not sure 357 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: he's that caliber of running back amber. I mean, Dave's 358 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 1: answer is a smart answer, but I feel like me personally, 359 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: I'm not ready to say that yet, even though everything 360 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: everything we're seeing this year suggest your point, Dave. But 361 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 1: at the same time, I feel there's something just holding 362 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: me back from saying that. And that's maybe because the 363 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 1: Cowboys have been bad in so many different areas that 364 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: it's not like, oh, Zeke is the only one that's 365 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: not doing his job and playing bad even though we 366 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: know that because of his contract, we have higher expectations 367 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: and at times like this, this is when we need 368 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 1: him to be good and he's not being good. So 369 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: but I just can't can't get there, like I mean, 370 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: maybe a little more time to feel that way. To me, 371 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: I love Zeke and everything that he's done in previous year. Yes, 372 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: completely different line, but there were many times where I 373 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: thought that the line wasn't perfect in certain games, and 374 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: he was still able to create plays where there wasn't any. 375 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: So I'm not quite there just yet. Yeah, he doesn't 376 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: need a great line, Um, I mean, he's had one 377 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: and he's then he's he's had unbelievable numbers. But if 378 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: you think about the offense they run with him, they don't. 379 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: They don't have a fullback for him. They don't have 380 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: uh adequate tight end blockings. They think they do. They 381 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 1: put the tight ends out there a lot, but they're 382 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 1: not really good blockers and they haven't been really since 383 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 1: he's been here. So, um, you know, they he's had 384 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: a good offensive line, there's no doubt. But but I 385 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: you know, if they really if he was a back 386 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 1: that needed all that, they would have a lead blocker 387 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: for him, and they would really, you know, have more 388 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: of a run oriented offense. They they want to look 389 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: at it and go, let's spread out with weapons and 390 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 1: then Zeke can kind of do what he does and 391 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: for the most part, it's worked. So I think he 392 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: you know, when he has a great line, he has 393 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: great stats. When he has a bad line, he's had 394 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: decent stats and he's fourth them in the NFC and 395 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: in rushing yards. I had to write that the other 396 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: day when we did this Pro Bowls NFC, which matters 397 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: for the When you're looking at where does he rank 398 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: in all this, it's like, dang, he's actually I mean, 399 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: he's gonna be in the conversation because he's Zeke and 400 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: he's his stats are right there, you know. So yeah, 401 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 1: I just look at it. And the reason I even 402 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: ask that question is because I think it's one of 403 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: those eye tests kind of things too. I go back 404 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: to last year and I watched Sae Kwon Barkley play 405 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: with what wasn't a great line, what wasn't a great offense, 406 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: and he was the kind of player that made big 407 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: plays happen. Now, there would be some games where teams 408 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 1: would just figure out how to bottle him up, but 409 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: that it would take that one play where he got 410 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: loose and he was gone right, And it's it's those 411 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: kind of moments that I'm missing with Zeke that I'm 412 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: not finding that that tells you a little bit more 413 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: about a guy's ability. Even in situations where his offense 414 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 1: may not be great around him, his offensive line may 415 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: not be great around him, he still has the ability 416 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: to be very, very dangerous. And I don't know that 417 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: I see that same level of dangerous whatever it is 418 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: in Zeke at this point in his career. Again, I'm 419 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: not I'm not saying that means get rid of him. 420 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: I'm just saying the expectation is, when you pay that 421 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 1: much money, he should be able to be the person 422 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: that steps up when you lose other things around you. 423 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: And I just haven't seen that. Is that fair? If 424 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: we if we compile the list of the top five 425 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: highlights for Chub, obviously say Quan has hurt. So we 426 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: can't say say Quan, Aaron Jones, Zeke all. You know, 427 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 1: the top six or seven running backs based on stats 428 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: and salary, I'm pretty confident saying like Zeke's would be 429 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: shockingly sparse. Like, you just, I mean, you know those guys, 430 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: those guys have all made wow plays. Like I'm thinking 431 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 1: about it. You know, Kamara had to play against the 432 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 1: Packers back in September or October where he like made 433 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 1: seven guys miss on his way to the house from 434 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: forty yards out. I mean, you just you're not getting 435 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,199 Speaker 1: that stuff from Zeke. And I like, I for the 436 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: million time, I sympathize because he's working with a lot 437 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: less around him than some of those guys are. But 438 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: that's the expectation when you're making fifteen million dollars a year. 439 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: Throw in the fact that he leads the league in fumbles, 440 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: and that's a whole other thing that we haven't even 441 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: really brought up during this conversation. That's that's what I 442 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: said last week after he fumbled on Thanksgiving, is like, 443 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,239 Speaker 1: I'm not asking you to carry the team, but I 444 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 1: am asking you to do the bare minimum and hold 445 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: onto the ball. And he's had problems with that for 446 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 1: a lot of this season as well. So I mean, 447 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: I just, no matter how you slice it, I just 448 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 1: think it's been a disappointing season for him. Yeah, I 449 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: mean two years ago, when you know when they played 450 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: that first game and Sofi Stadium against the Rams or 451 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: whatever that was. It just seems two years ago he 452 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 1: had a play that was amazing. It was an amazing 453 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: touchdown play that we had four or five guys that 454 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 1: should have tackled him and he scored, you know, and 455 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: we looked at that like, oh yeah, good, yeah, yeah, 456 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: see here we go. Yeah, and then here we are 457 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 1: and it's like coming up with great highlights like that's 458 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:02,919 Speaker 1: the one. I mean, that's the best one, and then 459 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: there's probably been some other decent ones, but not really 460 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: you know, and that just goes to show that, like 461 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: and he's not that type of player really anymore, which 462 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: is you know, weird to say, yeah, he's just not. 463 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: I mean you should but he needs to be. That's 464 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 1: what they're paying for. Yeah, even going back to last year, 465 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: like if you look at a lot of his big 466 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: like his big plays, is his memorable plays, is his 467 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: players that plays where you look at him and say, no, 468 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:30,159 Speaker 1: that's vintage Zeke. It's not necessarily a forty yard touchdown. 469 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: It's typically a five six yard run that should have 470 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: been a one yard run that he turned into more. Right, 471 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: That's that's kind of been the m on him for 472 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: a while now. It hasn't necessarily been the big play, 473 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: the huge play. It's been the fact that he gets 474 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: more out of a run, you know, out of just 475 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 1: basic runs, and he should. Yeah, I don't know. Do 476 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: you guys watch MythBusters or in that show something? Okay, 477 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 1: well it's been it's been a while. Yeah, well something 478 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: like that. Well, and tomorrow is gonna be a good 479 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 1: one for me, because I mean, I don't know anybody 480 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: that has had COVID at any point and has come 481 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: out and like really been all back. Well we'll see, 482 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: I don't unless they were unless he didn't have symptoms. Yeah. Now, 483 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: it's been a long time for KiB was it during 484 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: the summer and all that? He just he just plays tired. 485 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,719 Speaker 1: He looks tired, so you think, well, maybe that's it. 486 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: But tomorrow night, when Lamar Jackson's running all over the 487 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: place and stuff like that, and I'll be like, okay, 488 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 1: well that's not a thing. But yeah, but it's different 489 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,959 Speaker 1: for everybody. I mean, that's it's different for everybody. Everybody 490 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: has a different experience that I've talked to. I'm anxious 491 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: to see how he plays because everyone, everyone knows somebody 492 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: that's had COVID and their own just in their own life, 493 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: you know, and apparently not exactly. Yeah, So you know, 494 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: the NFL made some things, moved some games around so 495 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 1: Lamar could play, and and let's see how he how 496 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: he plays, because it you know, from everything I've heard it, 497 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a challenge. He may not be the 498 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,239 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson that we've seen. It's still gonna be good 499 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 1: enough to beat this team, but I'm just saying it 500 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: may not be the MVP type that we've seen. Yeah, 501 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 1: I heard Miles Garrett say just yesterday they were talking 502 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: about him in some comments he made where he was 503 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: like basically for about eight days, he was just on 504 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: his butt. He couldn't move. He was just completely zapped 505 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: of energy. And he's a well conditioned athlete obviously, so 506 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: even at well conditioned athletes have been getting you know, 507 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 1: getting the butts kicked COVID when they get it. So 508 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 1: it will be interesting to see how how he comes 509 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 1: back from them. Let's want to the next question, what 510 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: must Dallas do to slow down one of the NFL's 511 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: best rushing attacks, and how convinced are you that they 512 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: can do it? And but let's start with you. I 513 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: think it's all about communication, having better instinct and just 514 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: being on the same page. Don't be fooled. The Cowboys 515 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: are easily fooled and they need to stop that. And 516 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: how convinced that might no, I mean it's hard to 517 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: say I'm convinced at all. We haven't necessarily seene it. 518 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: We've seen flashes of the Cowboys run defense being better, 519 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 1: but they just haven't been able to find that whole 520 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: clique of consistency where they are able to do a 521 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: week after week. And right now, I just I don't 522 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: really trust the linebackers, So at this point, I'm not 523 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: really convinced until I see it again. Dave gap integrity, 524 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: that's I mean, it's been a problem for them all year, 525 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: not filling the proper space. And I mean those were 526 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: the breakdowns in the fourth quarter against Washington, guys not 527 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 1: filling where they're supposed to. They've been better at it 528 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: over the last month, But you know, an offense like this, 529 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 1: where you have two running backs and a quarterback who 530 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: can do a little bit of everything, that's kind of scary. 531 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,640 Speaker 1: And I think that's a really interesting point. I wonder, 532 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: you know, with Lamar coming back from covid' you know, 533 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,719 Speaker 1: what is his conditioning? Like, do the Ravens trust that 534 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: he can do that type of stuff right now? I mean, 535 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 1: you know, if the guys doesn't have his wind up, 536 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: if he's you know, still short of breath or whatever, 537 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 1: any anything that might have to deal with that, are 538 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 1: you really going to ask him to run eight to 539 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 1: fifteen times in a game. So that's curious. I wonder 540 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: if that might make them a little bit more one dimensional, 541 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,239 Speaker 1: make maybe make it a little bit easier to defend um. 542 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: But you know, I don't I don't trust them at 543 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 1: all because I'd say they've had issues with gap integrity 544 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: and handling their assignments. What they've played eleven games, They've 545 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: had issues in like nine of the eleven with that, 546 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: So I I mean, I don't trust it. But that's 547 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: what they need to do. Nick, Yeah, this you have 548 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: to just sell out for it. And and and you 549 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: have to say, all right, we're gonna we're gonna do 550 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: everything we can to stop the run. And if Lamar 551 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: Jackson steps back there and connects on long touchdown passes 552 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: to what markis Brown or whoever whoever their star receivers. Bryant, Okay, yes, Bryant. 553 00:28:58,440 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: I mean I'm talking about guys that are going to 554 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: get I'm not talking about tight ends. Um I think that. 555 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: I think no. I mean, Desk can still make play, 556 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: but I mean not. I'm talking about down the field 557 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: deep play. I think you just gotta let Lamar Jackson 558 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: do it. I mean, he didn't win MVP because he's 559 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: the best thrower in the world. He's great at what 560 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: he does when he's when he's on. But like you 561 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: gotta see if he's gonna be himself and see if 562 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: he can throw the ball, and you have to just 563 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: stop those runs. So I mean, I'm loading up for 564 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: the run and I'm gonna let those corners are just 565 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: gonna have to play well. I mean, he did really 566 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: have a he had a great passing season last year 567 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: as well. Now he's not been that good as a 568 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: passer this year, and this might be the kind of 569 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: game where they look at and say, we might need 570 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: to throw the ball a little bit more because his 571 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: win may not allow him to run as much as 572 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: we typically get. I'm thinking talking as I'm as as 573 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,239 Speaker 1: though in Baltimore he may not be able to run 574 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: as much as we normally would want him to run. 575 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: So this may be a game where they have to 576 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: throw it a little bit more and in those instances 577 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: maybe he can rekindle some of that of what he 578 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: was doing last year. As far as the passing game 579 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 1: is concerned. Um, it'll be interesting because he does not 580 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: have what is right now his best receiving threat, which 581 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: is Mark Andrews. Right now, Mark Andrews leads him in receiving, 582 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. How much do you expect 583 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: that helps Dallas now with Mark Andrews projected to be 584 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 1: out Nicholas and that helps because I mean, you don't 585 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 1: have to be an all pro tight end to hurt 586 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: this team. I mean we've seen a tight ends. I've 587 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 1: given the Cowboys a problem for the last couple of years, 588 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: especially when you put him on, you know, with if 589 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: Jalen has to be you know, in coverage even safeties. 590 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: I mean, they they struggled there, you know, you know 591 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: when and that's what tight ends are supposed to the 592 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: supposed to be mismatches and and you know, the really 593 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: good ones like in Mark Andrews can can find them mismatch. 594 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: But I think this certainly helps him. I'm curious to 595 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: see where they used as in this game. He probably 596 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: will play. I'm not gonna call him a tight end, 597 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: but I think he'll play some of that underneath stuff 598 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: and and and be the safety valve for Lamar Jackson 599 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 1: like a tight end would be. And what do you think? 600 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: I agree with everything that Nick said. Do you guys 601 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: know how fast are the tight ends that they currently 602 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: have right now that we would be expecting to play, 603 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: because I think that fast is one thing that hurts 604 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Speed And regardless of us talking about players 605 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: defensive players from the Cowboys having certain speed, to me, 606 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: that's something that they're currently lacking, at least in these 607 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: past few games. They just seem so slow compared to 608 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: the opponent, and so it makes me wonder. I don't 609 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: really know how fast the rest of the tight ends are, 610 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: but if that's the case and there's some speed there, 611 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: it can hurt the Cowboys. The guy that's gonna most 612 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: likely start is Luke Wilson, the long time Seattle tight end. 613 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: I mean, he's an NFL athlete, but I wouldn't say 614 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 1: that he's like remarkably fast by tight end standards, although 615 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: I will say it's funny these are gonna be miss 616 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: last words because I mean, without Mark Andrews, I sort 617 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: of don't feel overly bothered by what the Ravens are 618 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: trotten out there, I mean Hollywood. But I will say 619 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: this ag is like, if they have one thing, they 620 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: probably have speed, because Hollywood Brown, I mean he was 621 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: he was a first round pick for his speed. Like 622 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: that's why he was picked as highly as he was. 623 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: He hit Pittsburgh for a long touchdown the other day. Um, 624 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: and you know he hasn't had Sorry you to say no, 625 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,959 Speaker 1: I mean he I yes, I mean he hasn't had 626 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: a great He's definitely he's fast as hell. So yeah, 627 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: that's famous last words. But I'm not terrified by the 628 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: stuff they throw out there behind Mark Andrews. But all 629 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 1: it takes is one play, and we know the Cowboys 630 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: are good for giving that up. So do we do 631 00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 1: we like Anthony Brown with bad ribs on like Duvernet 632 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: and Marquis Well. See, that's also part of the issue 633 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: here is we started the show talking about the safeties, 634 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: and when you're talking about a team that has a 635 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: ton of speed, I certainly don't feel great about the 636 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: idea that you're gonna put cornerbacks that are not your 637 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: starting cornerbacks. You got two guys who either one one 638 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: definitely will be out one that is gimpy at best, 639 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 1: that are gonna be that aren't playing cornerback or playing 640 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 1: cornerback in a gimpy way. And now they're gonna be 641 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 1: expected to cover these fast guys with. By the way, 642 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 1: some safety is not playing that you would normally have 643 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: out there. So it doesn't sound like the running game. 644 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: I know that's the part you gotta be worried about, 645 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: but it sounded more and more to me like the 646 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 1: passing game will be the opportunity for Baltimore and also 647 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: can be the Achilles heal for Dallas. I say this, 648 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 1: I'll just I'll call my shot. I mean, like, you know, 649 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 1: Devin du rene for a third round pick. Really, he's 650 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: not having the most incredible rookie season that I mean, 651 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: that's normal though, But he's got he's got eighteen catches 652 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 1: for one hundred and ninety nine yards. He hasn't scored 653 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: a touchdown yet, so one tick off return for a 654 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,839 Speaker 1: hundred yards? True? Yeah? How I mean, how about Devin 655 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: du Burnet makes a house call tomorrow night from you know, 656 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,800 Speaker 1: fifty five yards out, maybe like a little slot post 657 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: or something like that. I can picture that. That's very 658 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,479 Speaker 1: easy to believe. Yeah, it is. It is somewhat easy 659 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: to believe. I really am starting to convince myself as 660 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 1: this show goes on at the passing game for the 661 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: Ravens is going to be a problem tomorrow night.

Welcome back to the 703 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 1: final segment of the Braakelafe in the SWBC Mortgage studios 704 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 1: at the Star. Let's talk a little NFC East. Yesterday 705 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,560 Speaker 1: Sunday slate of games. New York Giants are lined up 706 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: to play the Seattle Seahawks. If you guys or anything 707 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 1: like me, you probably thought that this is a pretty 708 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 1: much we know what's going to happen before it happens. However, 709 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,839 Speaker 1: New York Giants gonna win against Seattle. They are now 710 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 1: on a four game winning streak that includes wins that 711 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,480 Speaker 1: win against Seattle, but also wins over Philadelphia and Washington 712 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 1: in the Division. They now leave the division at a 713 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 1: record of five and seven after starting one and seven 714 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 1: to begin the season. Are they the best team in 715 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:37,880 Speaker 1: the division. Let's start with you, Dave, Yeah, I think. 716 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I want to see what Washington 717 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 1: looks like today going against Pittsburgh, But yes, I think 718 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: you have to say that. I mean, how impressive is 719 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 1: that to go on the road to Seattle Russell Wilson, 720 00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 1: you know, having it. I mean they might have just 721 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 1: killed Russell Wilson's MVP campaign twelve points. You know, they 722 00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,279 Speaker 1: had five for most of the game. I don't think 723 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,880 Speaker 1: Seattle score until the final few minutes. Their defense is 724 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 1: only allowing eighteen points per game. They do it without 725 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. Yeah, I didn't realize this, but um, you know, 726 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 1: the loss to the loss to the Cowboys that where 727 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 1: Dak got her dropped them to oo and five and 728 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 1: they're five and two since, and we'll see, I mean, 729 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,319 Speaker 1: we'll see just how good they are because basically every 730 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 1: game they have left is against the playoff contender. I 731 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 1: think they goa Arizona, Cleveland, Baltimore and finish it up 732 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,080 Speaker 1: with Dallas. I mean, if they can even if they 733 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 1: can win three of those, that's pretty damn impressive. If 734 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 1: they win two of those, yeah, I mean, right, yeah, right, 735 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 1: right now. I don't know who you look at in 736 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,520 Speaker 1: the division and say they're doing better than the Giants. 737 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:48,920 Speaker 1: So yeah, for sure, Amber, Yeah, I agree. I mean 738 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,359 Speaker 1: they're the ones winning games right now. We can't say 739 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,200 Speaker 1: I mean about a month ago. Over a month ago, 740 00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,799 Speaker 1: I think we all said that you cannot sleep on 741 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,320 Speaker 1: the Giants, you and me. To me, I remember that 742 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,239 Speaker 1: several games that I watched from them, even games that 743 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,959 Speaker 1: they lost, there were times where Jason Garrett, he would 744 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 1: do certain things on offense that I would be like, 745 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:15,759 Speaker 1: oh okay, Garrett, Like wow, okay, that was impressive. Even 746 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 1: when they faced the Cowboys, to me, I thought they 747 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 1: had some really impressive plays and obviously ended up losing there, 748 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 1: But just in general, I am impressed with the things 749 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 1: that they've been able to accomplish so far, looking at 750 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 1: how their season started. So the Cowboys cannot sleep they 751 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 1: this thing is getting away from the Cowboys, so they 752 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,520 Speaker 1: need to step it up because we're here headed to 753 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 1: the finish line. So right now, I would say, yes, 754 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,279 Speaker 1: the Giants are the better team right now, which is 755 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,719 Speaker 1: crazy to say, but they are. Nick well if they 756 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,719 Speaker 1: if they've lost four in a row, that means that 757 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,239 Speaker 1: the one furn I mean, if they've won four in row. 758 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,919 Speaker 1: The one before that, I believe was the Buccaneers where 759 00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,160 Speaker 1: it was on Monday night. I mean, that didn't seem 760 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,440 Speaker 1: too long ago, and they had a chance to win that, 761 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,479 Speaker 1: you know, at the very end of the game two points. 762 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,239 Speaker 1: They lost a lot of close games out I think, yeah, 763 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,360 Speaker 1: they are the best team. You know, it's funny you 764 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,759 Speaker 1: see that game of its Seattle, it's just a game 765 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 1: of inches. I guess they lost by five yesterday nineteen 766 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 1: to fourteen. I mean, if you saw there's a block 767 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,160 Speaker 1: punt in the game, or it lands right in the 768 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: guy's hands to catch it for a you know, in 769 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 1: the end zone and he fumbles it out. It's a 770 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 1: tough play to make. They finally get it and the 771 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,440 Speaker 1: guy's hands out of bounds, so it turns into a safety. 772 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 1: So that's a five point difference right there, and they 773 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 1: lose by five. I mean, two game of inches. I 774 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: don't know. Seattle obviously shouldn't have lost that game, but yeah, 775 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,320 Speaker 1: the Giants are playing better, and but you know it, 776 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,839 Speaker 1: all it takes is if Washington beats the Steelers, then 777 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 1: you're like, well, they're the best team. And if they 778 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,440 Speaker 1: don't do that, and if the Cowboys beat the Ravens, 779 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,360 Speaker 1: I don't think you would say they're the best team, 780 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,480 Speaker 1: but you're like, well, that's the one team the Cowboys 781 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,319 Speaker 1: can can sweep. This year's the Giants. So you know 782 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 1: they'd be sitting pretty now. They got to go beat 783 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,319 Speaker 1: the Ravens. But I mean, if they know, we could 784 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,640 Speaker 1: be sitting here in two days from now talking and going, wow, 785 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:07,120 Speaker 1: that's if the Cowboys win or the Reds or Washington wins. Yeah, 786 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,000 Speaker 1: I still think Washington is the better team. You look 787 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 1: at Washington scheduled down the stretch too, I think they 788 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 1: got the easier road to go. I know they got 789 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,640 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh tonight, but they got after that, They got San Francisco, 790 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,480 Speaker 1: they got Seattle, who is not playing at its best 791 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,840 Speaker 1: at this point in the season. They got Carolina, and 792 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,360 Speaker 1: then they in with Philadelphia. So they got a schedule 793 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 1: that seems very manageable down the stretch. And I think 794 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 1: Washington actually from the standpoint of just their personnel, I 795 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:32,719 Speaker 1: think they're the better team. I think they got a 796 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,319 Speaker 1: better defense. I think their offense is probably comparable to 797 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 1: the Giants, offense, and so I think matched head to head, 798 00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,440 Speaker 1: I think they're better than the Giants. I will be 799 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: interested to see what they do tonight because Pittsburgh has 800 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 1: been flirting with losses for the last few weeks, like 801 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,400 Speaker 1: they've been playing there on the edge the last few weeks. 802 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,759 Speaker 1: The likelihood they go undefeated, you know, it's just does 803 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,960 Speaker 1: That's not a very likely thing for any NFL team. 804 00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:57,799 Speaker 1: I think at some point it catches up to them. 805 00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,360 Speaker 1: This could be the night where it kind of up 806 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 1: to him and the Washington football team finds a way 807 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:04,400 Speaker 1: to get a win here. But if they get the 808 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,719 Speaker 1: win to night, I will be sold at Washington's gonna 809 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,600 Speaker 1: win this division. If they don't, I still think looking 810 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:11,360 Speaker 1: at their schedule down the stretch and looking at the 811 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,319 Speaker 1: Giant schedule down the stretch, I still think they're in 812 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 1: the driver's seat to be the winner of the division 813 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 1: thing and winning tonight. I know that Washington colors on Derek, 814 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,800 Speaker 1: but they're not winning tonight. That has nothing whatsoever to 815 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 1: do with it, and certainly wasn't a part of my 816 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:28,520 Speaker 1: decision making this morning. But no, can we all can 817 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 1: we all agree that even even the Cowboys are in 818 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,879 Speaker 1: a better spot than the Philadelphia Eagles, though, Oh god, 819 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,360 Speaker 1: I mean, what a dumpster fire of a team. Oh god. 820 00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 1: Do you think they're gonna stick with Jalen Hurts? YEA, 821 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,480 Speaker 1: stick with I mean they brought him in yesterday, so 822 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,640 Speaker 1: they're gonna stick with him now, I mean at this one, 823 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:49,319 Speaker 1: they're gonna stick with him? Or are they gonna pull 824 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,720 Speaker 1: the hole hope? Hey, we just thought, you know, Carson 825 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,839 Speaker 1: was having a bad game, a bad ten games, and 826 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:56,719 Speaker 1: so we're gonna just we wanted to give him some 827 00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:00,120 Speaker 1: relief in that game. Or do they really make just 828 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,480 Speaker 1: changed and go with Jalen Hurts for a few games. 829 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:04,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't see how he played. Did 830 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:10,359 Speaker 1: he played better as fine? A touchdown? He was? He 831 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,120 Speaker 1: was like not, I mean, he was fine, but he 832 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,399 Speaker 1: did throw a touchdown, And it just speaks to how 833 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:19,640 Speaker 1: bad Wins has been that Hurts looking fine, looked a 834 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:23,200 Speaker 1: lot better. I mean, I I think you don't have to, 835 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,279 Speaker 1: you don't have to get rid of Carson Wentz, but 836 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 1: like I like he, Carson Wentz just needs to go 837 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:31,920 Speaker 1: like detox somewhere. He needs to like go just go 838 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,440 Speaker 1: to like a mountain cabin and just turn off the 839 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,319 Speaker 1: phone for a month, and just like I think, I 840 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,600 Speaker 1: just think he's his head is his head's got to 841 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,360 Speaker 1: be all kinds of haywire, just trying to handle the 842 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,680 Speaker 1: criticism and the pressure and all that. It just doesn't 843 00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 1: seem like he's coping very well with it. So maybe 844 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,319 Speaker 1: he can still be a good quarterback. But I would 845 00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,760 Speaker 1: give Jalen Hurts a chance to just let Carson Wentz 846 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,640 Speaker 1: like breathe for a second, because I think he's he's 847 00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,880 Speaker 1: not having a good time right now. I think one 848 00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:02,400 Speaker 1: of things we're figuring out through the through all this 849 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,720 Speaker 1: season is once we get back to next year, Dallas clearly, 850 00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,160 Speaker 1: in my opinion, has the better quarterback in this division. 851 00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 1: And if that means anything, which I think it does 852 00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 1: in an NFL where quarterback play is the most important thing, 853 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,920 Speaker 1: I think that that matters for the Cowboys over the 854 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,799 Speaker 1: next several years, assuming they can get a deal done 855 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,799 Speaker 1: and actually secures services for the next several years. All right, 856 00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:24,480 Speaker 1: real quick, let's go ahead and get some picks here 857 00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,200 Speaker 1: before we end the show. I'm gonna start first with you, Nick, 858 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,279 Speaker 1: which way you go on this one? You know, I 859 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,759 Speaker 1: just don't I just don't trust the Cowboys to do this. 860 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,160 Speaker 1: I think that it could be close. I was kind 861 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,759 Speaker 1: of wavering a little bit because I don't I think 862 00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:41,320 Speaker 1: Baltimore is going to be so messy with just everything 863 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,640 Speaker 1: that's happened. But maybe maybe not. Maybe they're a little 864 00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,799 Speaker 1: bit rejuvenated, but I see them winning the game. I 865 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:53,320 Speaker 1: think it'll be somewhat close. But I'm gonna say twenty 866 00:44:53,560 --> 00:45:01,359 Speaker 1: three to twelve, Okay, Amber, I hope the Cowboys win, 867 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:05,440 Speaker 1: but I just can't get myself to pick them despite 868 00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:09,600 Speaker 1: of like Nick mentioned, all the issues that everything that 869 00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,840 Speaker 1: the Ravens have been dealing with currently. It might not 870 00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,480 Speaker 1: be a clean game or anything, but at the same time, 871 00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,360 Speaker 1: I think that they still manage to beat the Cowboys, 872 00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:23,360 Speaker 1: and I would imagine it's a closed game, but something 873 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:28,879 Speaker 1: higher like twenty two twenty and Cowboys just lose another game, 874 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 1: all right. It's a it's a vicious it's a vicious 875 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,360 Speaker 1: cycle where you know, you say you don't trust the 876 00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,600 Speaker 1: Cowboys to go on the road a favorite that wears purple, 877 00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,759 Speaker 1: and that's exactly what they do against the Vikings, and 878 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:44,759 Speaker 1: then you're like, all right, well, now maybe they'll get 879 00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:46,799 Speaker 1: on a little bit of a role Nope, Washington just 880 00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:50,799 Speaker 1: rolls right over them. Look at this. I'm I'm a 881 00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,920 Speaker 1: lot less concerned, to be honest with you, about Lamar Jackson. 882 00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:58,000 Speaker 1: The thing that concerns me is Calais Campbell is back 883 00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 1: from COVID as well. All McPhee is back from COVID 884 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:05,000 Speaker 1: as well. They got those cornerbacks. Like I know, they're 885 00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,200 Speaker 1: six and five, but this is a this is a 886 00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:10,279 Speaker 1: nasty defense. And I have a feeling they're gonna they're 887 00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,880 Speaker 1: gonna come at Andy Dalton because they know what this 888 00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:17,160 Speaker 1: offensive line looks like. So if the Cowboys, you know, 889 00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,279 Speaker 1: I'm guessing Dalton's gonna get sacked a few times. I'm 890 00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,720 Speaker 1: guessing the Cowboys are gonna like they're gonna be minus 891 00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,439 Speaker 1: two and turnover differential in this game. That I think 892 00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:30,000 Speaker 1: is gonna be the real problem. Um So you know, hey, 893 00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:31,800 Speaker 1: last time I picked against them, they went up and 894 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,000 Speaker 1: be Minnesota. So maybe I'm wrong, but I just think 895 00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,919 Speaker 1: Baltimore grinds out like a twenty three to ten when 896 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,120 Speaker 1: just not a very pretty thing to watch. But that's 897 00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,239 Speaker 1: where we're at. Yeah, I kind of agree. I think 898 00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,960 Speaker 1: I think the cinnamon here is that I just don't 899 00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,399 Speaker 1: see how the Cowboys are gonna be able to move 900 00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,480 Speaker 1: the ball effectively against that defense. I think that defense 901 00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,240 Speaker 1: is probably the more underrated thing that we've talked about 902 00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:56,360 Speaker 1: all week with regards of that team, is their defense, 903 00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,799 Speaker 1: and they they can put you know, they can put 904 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,760 Speaker 1: out some really good efforts shut teams down. The offense 905 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:03,920 Speaker 1: has been an area where the Cowboys have struggled and 906 00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,879 Speaker 1: in games being able to move the ball, especially when 907 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,759 Speaker 1: they haven't had competent play at the tackle position. I 908 00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:11,359 Speaker 1: think this is going to be another game where they're 909 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,840 Speaker 1: gonna have to go with those young guys obviously at tackle. 910 00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:16,880 Speaker 1: I just think that's a bad, bad matchup for them. 911 00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,040 Speaker 1: I think the Baltimore Ravens win this game. They win 912 00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,680 Speaker 1: twenty four thirteen. I don't think it's really even that close. 913 00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,520 Speaker 1: I think they end up losing a game, but they 914 00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:28,080 Speaker 1: really just cannot stop their defense from getting to their quarterback. 915 00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,440 Speaker 1: All Right, we appreciate you guys joining us. We will 916 00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,400 Speaker 1: not have shows tomorrow because the game's happening tomorrow. We 917 00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,360 Speaker 1: will have shows again on Wensday. Will let you know 918 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,480 Speaker 1: what happened, what went right and wrong for the Cowboys. 919 00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:40,080 Speaker 1: Still then for Nick even Dave Hellman and Amber Garcia. 920 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,120 Speaker 1: I am Derek Eagleton.
