But forty eight degrees, Danny, yeah, 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:15.560 the gate, that's that's that's good. 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:16.600 I'm excited. 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:18.839 If I'm a player and I see forty eight degrees because, 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:20.560 like you said, I think they think the same way 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:20.880 we do. 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:23.240 Some of them were on the team. 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:26.240 Tyron was on the team and we went down the 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.200 h went up to Chicago and it was negative ten 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.880 degree with win Chield and they blew the doors off 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.200 of us, and not because they were a better team 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:37.120 than us. I really think that was one case of 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:41.000 they were prepared and understood what they were getting ready for, 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:43.639 and we, as the Cowboys, we were. 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:45.040 Not Josh McCown game. 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.960 I don't know who was quarterback in that game. I 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:50.400 didn't care. I just wanted to get out of that. 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:50.880 It was. 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.280 It was that cold, and then the water and stuff 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:55.200 was still cold because they didn't cut it on ahead 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:56.280 ahead of time. 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.120 So we couldn't really get that once. Yeah, it was, 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:00.320 it was, It was. It was bad man. 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.360 It was one of those where I had to go 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:06.600 out like the early live shot, so I would I 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:11.400 bought gloves, Okay, bought gloves. Then this ain't working with 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.520 another pair of gloves, double gloved it. 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:20.760 Yes, sir. It was a call went out like we're 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:22.400 not going live. We're gonna take. 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.639 You know, six o'clock live. We take that for five. 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:27.120 We taked it. 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:31.080 But the people in Chicago or they prepared, like they understand, 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:32.920 like they know they've been knowing this. 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:33.280 I'm not. 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:35.880 We ain't the same thing with Buffalo, like if you 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:39.320 don't know, right, And that could be a real advantage 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.519 for the teams up north use it all the time, 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:44.280 Pittsburgh and even Kansas City when it gets when it 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:46.120 gets cold there, people are like, man, it's gonna. 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:46.400 Be gone like that. 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.280 You better, you better make sure you're ready. So I'm 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:50.839 glad to see forty eight degrees. One thing I did 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:53.600 not think about when I was visiting colleges. 0:02:53.840 --> 0:03:01.080 What's the cold weather in Manhattan? Cole Weller came in. 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:05.160 You was like, oh, this is different. This ain't. 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.880 No man. So those I know exactly what you're talking about. Man, 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:12.720 that don't work. It's a different kind of hawk out there. 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:17.680 When Buffalo, New York is is seventeen degrees and uh, 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:18.920 these guys haven't. 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:19.280 Been playing in that. 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.000 And then the flip side of that, then I was thinking, 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:23.440 as you look at the season all year, as you 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:25.320 look at the schedule all year, he thinks, man, they're 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:28.440 gonna end up going to Buffalo seventeen degrees and then 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:30.919 double back and go to Miami and it's eighty five 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:34.040 degrees and the pendulum will been shifting. And when you 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.120 said that about it being forty eight degrees, I started 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:41.280 looking like El Nino or something's going. It's December in Buffalo. 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:42.960 You don't have to worry about that part of it. 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.440 I'm sure as a football team you're happy. You're happy 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:46.560 that you don't have to deal with that. 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:48.600 Look at this, this is this blessing. 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:54.880 Right, come for everybody that's going very fat. Chris in 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.440 the back, tell you, Chris Beam is good with that. 0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:00.600 I won't be there. I won't be there early on. 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:02.160 In here, I get to pick the games I goes to. 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:02.760 Yeah, I'm not. 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.960 Oh, you purposely missed that one. 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:07.720 So I try to do it. 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.120 I jedi at you. I said, hey man, I'll go 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.600 to Miami on Christmas. Oh, oh, you do that so 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:13.440 you can have Christmas. 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:15.560 You fell on your swords. You can go to Miami. 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:19.359 Boy, there's a trick. You got to go to Buffalo. 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.240 That's how they gonna close everything. You ain't gonna be 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:22.279 doing what you're gonna be in the hotel. 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:23.560 I ain't nothing gonna be closed. 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.240 Actually, the boss came and told us not to go 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:26.680 to Miami. 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:32.040 So you're good. Okay, Hey man, sometimes it works out 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:34.560 for sometimes it works out for it. 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:36.880 Work out, Okay, man, it worked out. Okay, So this 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:37.720 is just good news. 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:37.840 Now. 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.840 The wind, the wind is the wind in Buffalo. I mean, 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.000 it's it's a challenge. And when we sent out the 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.600 note and say I'm worried about that kicking streak for 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:49.599 Brandon Aubrey because and Mike McCarthy were talking about unfamiliar 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.440 opponent when you're going to kick someplace that's different, and 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:54.679 you played Chicago for a little bit there, you understand 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:56.599 that same thing with the wind. It is a different 0:04:56.680 --> 0:05:00.000 kind of thing. Robbie Gold for years mastered kicking in Chicago. 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:06.600 Go Chicago, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, New York is a different kind 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.640 of place. It meant life stating that the wind matters there. 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:11.680 So that's gonna be another interesting things exactly how the 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:14.640 wind is that day up in Buffalo for Brandon Aubury. 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:17.279 Yeah, And I played with Robbie Go too, And I 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:21.320 think the thing with with Chicago was also like the grass, 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:25.839 like their their grass was a lot different. It was high, 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.760 and you see teams going there and struggle based on 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.960 if it's summertime, well it's right into the fall, you're like, okay, 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.320 guys are slipping around, or they're saying the grass is 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:36.280 too high. They got to put their thick they long 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:38.720 cleats on. And then when it gets cold outside, all 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.400 the grass is already gone and now it's just freezing 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.440 in windy. So kickers always have an issue when they 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:47.080 go into a stadium like Chicago, and Buffalo is no different. 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.400 We went and play Buffalo when I was in Chicago, 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.040 and you know, both of both of us were out 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:52.640 of the playoffs. 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:54.120 So it was one of them games like can y'all 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:54.799 run the clock? 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:56.440 Like we don't. We don't want to do none of that. 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:58.680 But it was miserable. And it's the same, but they 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.000 play on turf, so hope it won't be as bad. 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:03.920 Hopefully that streak can continue going. I'm not as worried. 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:05.880 It's hard to be worried about a guy who hasn't 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:10.039 missed the field goal all season. It's hard to be 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.200 worried about him, right y' I don't want the streak 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.280 to be gone, but right now I do have ultimate 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.360 confidence that this dude can make those kicks. And hopefully 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.680 Mike McCarthy and his staff will not put him in 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:23.039 a situation to where you're trying to kick sixty yarders 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.279 out in Buffalo like you did here in Dallas. 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:31.040 You probably adjusted, yeah. 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:32.160 Forty five what you got here. That becomes an issue there. 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:35.680 But that's where pregame Wemos and Christie Scales on the 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.960 Cowboys radio broadcast. Nobody does a better job of going 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.720 out there to watch the kicks pregame and seeing give 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.480 you exactly a measure of what your kicker can do 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:45.280 than then Christy does. 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:46.040 She has a great job at that. 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:46.599 I have. 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:50.240 I have absolute faith faith in Brandon Aubrey right now. 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.479 I didn't at the beginning. You think about where you 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:54.479 came with him from the beginning of the season and 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:56.280 where you are with him right now. 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:58.760 He's made you a believer in him. You'll call him 0:06:58.760 --> 0:06:59.320 butter now. 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:03.560 Yeah, You're call him butter now because you've seen it. 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:06.080 I mean yes, even last week last Sunday at the game, 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:07.440 when he when we said we were going for a 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:09.440 sixty yard field goal. I looked over at my son, 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:10.960 I said, I can't believe It's why are. 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:13.080 We doing this? Why are we doing this, so you 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:16.000 pull a brachet. Listen, I did, I did? Did? He 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.040 said on the radio, Why did he say that? Swear 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:20.040 to god? I did? List like this, babe, I swear 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:21.760 to god. I didn't like. I swear to God. I 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:22.280 didn't know that. 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:24.240 And I'm telling you, I looked at my son and said, 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:27.000 why what are we doing? It's sixty yards? And he 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:31.320 kicked the field goal and Danny he had five more yards. Despair, 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:36.120 I swell, you know, oh yeah, it's a smart move. 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:38.560 Good kick. Sixty yards. 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:43.040 That's crazy for a guy that has If the story 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:46.559 is true, if the story is true, his girlfriend said 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:50.400 you could do that. It is and he got up 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.560 and say, you know what, you know what what a story? 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:54.800 What a story? 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:56.640 And hey, babe, you can do that. 0:07:56.800 --> 0:08:02.840 You can do that? Really can? Man? That's good. 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.680 Well let's call that coaching. Okay, show up at a 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:09.440 kicking camp and uh yeah. 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:13.240 Yeah, that's yeah. That's his white upgrade on the ring. 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.240 Then, baby, you know what I'm saying, go ahead, look 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:17.040 out for it, because I could have been sitting on 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:20.200 the couch sometime. That's all you need a little push, 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:22.720 that's how you needush man, that's how he. 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:24.920 Did so, he was a high school soccer player and 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.800 ended up going to Notre Dame on the play soccer. 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.440 They won the national championship. And then Aubrey was a 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:34.880 first round pick of Toronto FC. Just didn't have a 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.520 career in the MLS, just just didn't go his way, 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:39.439 which is interesting since he's going to play Buffalo this 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:43.719 week run by Toronto and except just when they had 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:46.119 to try out. And then next thing you know, he's 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:48.960 kicking for the USFL. And for the second year in 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.320 a row, the Cowboys have taken somebody from the USFL 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:53.480 who's becoming an integral part of the special teams. 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:55.240 And if he makes. 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.160 The Pro Bowl, that would be wild to think that 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.360 the Cowboys would in consecutive years take someone from the 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:03.880 USFL and then make. 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:08.960 The developmental Yes, everybody in the USFL is like please please, 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:11.559 because it's just now you really have to go there. 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:13.720 And I know they scout the talent, but now it's 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:15.960 it's real of like, hey, we can really go out 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.400 there and find some guy. They found two back to back, 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:21.280 and now turping is a weapon on offense as well. 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:24.400 And then Brandon he hasn't missed a field goal all season. 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:27.400 It is and I've always I've often heard you talk 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:30.080 about the point marchin in the in the NFL being 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:33.080 you know, two to three points. And I feel so 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:36.520 much more confident in those last minute situations with a 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:39.280 guy like Brandon Aubrey because you could just see him 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.640 being able to get you out of a bad situation. 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:45.440 If struggling on offense, defense, struggling it's a close game, 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:50.079 fourth quarter, all you need is sixty yards, That's all 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.600 you need. You're in that situation now where you get 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.320 the ball with a minute and half left and instead 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:57.840 of trying to score because you worried about hey man, 0:09:57.880 --> 0:09:59.480 it's about here, go make this. We need to make 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.920 sure we still they agree because we're not sure. Now 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.320 you in a situation to where hey, we're gonna play 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.560 keep away from the other squad, and we got that 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:08.640 type of confidence in our kicker to say, all right, 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.680 three seconds left, we can keep it for three seconds. 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:12.680 Then we believe that we're going to win this game 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:13.560 because we have. 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:14.800 But that's different. 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.200 You go back to that Niner game last year in 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:21.719 the playoffs and how scared you were to send out 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:25.320 Bretmyer go. I couldn't even got sport. This is a different 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:28.040 type of situation if you were in another close game 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.120 and you have Brandon Aubrey out there, and the ability 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:33.960 for Mike's thinking and just as you said, you play 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:37.800 calling thinking if we just get three and let's just 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.640 say it's two possessions in this game, where you just 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:44.640 get two long field goals fifty plus, that's six points 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:45.560 in a playoff game. 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:48.280 Six points and that's massive. 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:50.719 Sixth in the regular season versus six is a big 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:53.080 old difference here, and going on the road and being 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:58.400 able to do that that can really make a difference. 0:10:58.480 --> 0:10:59.240 For this team. 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:02.760 Yesterday raised the question about the playing at home versus 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.400 That's another thing. How good he's been at home with 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:09.720 field goals, so you know, and then Super Bowl is 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:11.240 in indoor facility. 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.640 All I'm saying, this is what I'm saying. 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.280 All I'm saying is if you get home field advantage, 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:19.440 home field advantage would give you the opportunity to be 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.360 kicking indoors throughout the play. I'm not sure. I don'tkay, 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:24.520 I'm gonna take it this. I know I'm gonna take 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:27.400 it there now I'm going to pigging it back off. 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:28.960 What new he's saying to act like I did not 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:32.439 hear some of those words that you said, two of them, 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:36.360 just to piggyback off new and say this, Yes, those 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:38.720 six points can keep you in the game. Like the 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.880 difference between like being able to go down there and 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.679 kick a field goal when you're down fourteen or seventeen 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:47.199 and get some momentum to where you can't and then 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:48.760 you have to go for it on four because you 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:50.040 feel like the only way you can stay in the 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:51.760 game is get a touchdown because you don't believe in 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:55.079 your kicker. It is huge getting three points before half 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.680 if you down momentally, just they say, hey, man, just 0:11:57.679 --> 0:11:59.800 get some points. All we needed some points. You have 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:02.480 an opportunity now to say, thirty seconds left, we made 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:03.760 it to the forty five yard line. 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:04.800 We got a shot. 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:06.640 Nine points in a field, you know, nine points in 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:07.760 a playoff game from your kicker. 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:08.200 It's huge. 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:10.200 And you start looking at how these playoff games go, 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.280 and so I think the young man could be an advantage. 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:15.439 And and now you've got you know. 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.640 Your your last three games at Buffalo, at Miami, Den Detroit, 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.000 and at Washington. So he's going to have the opportunity 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:24.960 to kick in three outside venues that are not at 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.080 and t standing, which to me is just that that's 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:28.760 something else you got to look forward to. Now if 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.360 the Cowboys end up as a wild card you're talking 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.960 about and right now, this is the craziest thing between 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.800 NFC South. You've got Tampa Bay, Atlanta, New Orleans. So 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.720 two of those are indoor facilities that you uh that 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.319 that you be kicking in, and then the other one 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:44.240 is Tampa and Tampa. 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:48.400 Tampa and January ain't bad, you can be okay. We 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:51.520 you know, we were there last year for the playoff game. 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:53.240 You know we remember going down there last year. It 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.880 was like, okay, from a from a kicking standpoint, you're okay. 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:57.719 Maharst still made that adventurous. 0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:02.000 But you know, I know we had mentioned it right 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:05.480 before we got on air about this, the possibility of 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.319 us passing up the forty nine ers Eagles getting the 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.600 first seed, and we were talking about the forty nineer schedule, 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.080 and I really believe that the NFC West is a 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:17.320 extremely tough place to play no matter what the records are. 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:20.040 So as I'm looking at San Francisco what they have 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:23.040 left and they got the Ravens coming up, they got 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:26.199 the Cardinals. This week they got the Commanders, which okay, 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:26.760 and then. 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:28.839 You finish off with the Rams got two good games? 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:31.200 Who is you got two good games? 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:34.720 But since Kyler Murray has gotten back, the Arizona Cardinals 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:35.640 have looked totally different. 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:35.880 Yep. 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.680 They have looked like most of the for the most part, 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.920 a team who can compete and extend drives on offense 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:44.200 to keep them in the game and the NFC West. 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.720 To me, I don't care what the record is. If 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:51.320 Gino Smith is playing last week, that same Seattle team 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:53.480 that came here on Thursday, they have an opportunity to 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:55.440 make that a really really close game against the San 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:59.640 Francisco and we've seen weekend and week out. It don't matter. 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.560 We have as the number one squad. They can go 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:05.440 out there and lose to anybody. So I think, in 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:07.520 my mind the hope for us to still get that 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:09.240 number one seed and stay out of the wild horse 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:12.080 spot if we handle our business, I think it's still there. 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.840 I gotta let me ask you, as a former player, 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:19.040 do you start the not clock watching, but schedule watching. 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:21.840 Do you start adding up and looking at it or 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.160 do you say to yourself. We control our own destiny 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.480 if we just went out because you're right, the NFC West, 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:30.400 anything can basically happen right now. Well, you can say 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.000 that you're not clockwatching our you can say, yeah, we 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:36.280 gotta focus on ya. Come on, man, You're like, you're 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.000 gonna play your game for three hours and then you're 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:39.680 gonna go home and you go check and see what 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:42.360 the rest of the NFL did, especially the people who 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:45.160 are in your way for possibly getting the number one seed. Now, 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:47.400 when you playing the game, that's not what you're thinking about. 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:50.240 But you sitting on the couch, are you after practice, 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:52.560 and you're trying to figure out, all right, what's next. 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.200 It's hard for you not to think about what's on 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.560 the line when these other teams are playing, because we 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:00.200 all we all go watch the film that. 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:02.320 Can tell us he not, but we know Tad brothers 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:07.040 tell me, hey, Philadelphie's got at Seattle got the Giants, 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:08.840 then they got Arizona, then they got the Giants again. 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.720 So and look, by the way, all of a sudden, 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:14.200 this Giants team is not just some more easy dub. 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:17.240 They're sitting here fighting. They are fighting here. And then 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:20.280 we talked about Arizona with Kyler Murray. They're fighting you, 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:23.280 They're not just rolling over and dying here. And uh 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:25.640 don't don't know if Gino Smith is back this week 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.360 at all for Seattle. But it's not an easy place 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:29.960 to go win games up in Seattle. 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:30.800 It's a challenge. 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:34.600 You saw what the Rams just did with Baltimore. Who 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:37.000 we look at Baltimore. So you look at the Rams, 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:38.840 you say, Okay, they're healthy now, Cooper cup poop in 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.680 the cool, they got the running game going, Matthew Stafford healthy. 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:43.480 I'm just I'm looking at the schedule. 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.040 I'm saying there's no easy ride for them to get 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:47.320 to get that number one seed. 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:48.120 Sean's got it. 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:52.440 Sewan does have Kyle's number the last five four five years. 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:55.880 He's got his number. So so we'll see. But you 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.480 have to control your you know you've got You've got 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:00.680 to go to Buffalo this week and handle business because 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:02.160 you o oh, by the way, a point and a 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:04.480 half to a two point underdog, depending on what odd 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.800 services that you're looking at.

But he's been doing some good stuff 0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:03.879 for a long time here, So so good luck to 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:06.400 Tank and no, by the way, everybody who's been nominated, 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:08.600 and Danny mccraid, you know, as a former player, man, 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:10.560 there's a lot of guys across this league doing a 0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:13.359 lot of good things who just don't always get the 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:14.520 recognition for it. 0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:16.480 And some guys don't really seek it either. 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:20.600 Yeah, it's and it was kind of unsung heroes sometimes, right, 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:23.520 because Tank was one of those guys who's been doing 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:25.040 it for a long time, like you said. But then 0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:28.040 you have guys who who I have much respect for 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:29.920 at the top of the roster, who are able to 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:31.920 do that type of stuff. But there are a lot 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:34.720 of guys at the bottom of the roster who don't 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:38.240 make as much, don't have as much security in their teams, 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:40.520 but they no matter what team they're on, how many 0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:43.240 times they get moved from city to city, they still 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:45.240 find a way to give back. And I think those 0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:47.200 guys deserve to be mentioned as well as some times 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:48.840 of like hey man, you on the fifty three, you 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:51.439 don't even know you in a bubble and whatever city 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:53.919 you go to, you make sure that you find a 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:55.680 way to make an impact and give back. And those 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:58.040 guys are the guys I have ultimate respect for as well. 0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:01.240 Ty In Tekey of Arlington. Yeah, he played Washington, played 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:03.480 for the Cowboy. Everywhere he's gone, He's always trying to 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:05.960 give back to the Arlington I SD and he's got 0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:08.639 some businesses out there. So I remember his golf tournament 0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:10.280 that he had over at the Cowboys Golf Club and 0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:12.920 Dak Dak, who hadn't at that point in time, Dak 0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:16.159 had not even played with Tyan Teck showed up and 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:18.159 you know that looked way out there up north and 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:19.959 came all the way down over the Grapevine for him, 0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:22.399 which just shows you one what kind of guy Tie 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:24.159 is and two what kind of guy Dak is. 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:25.080 That's pretty cool. 0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:27.480 Now, every time I hear about these guys doing these 0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:31.760 great championship, you know, champion efforts in the community, it 0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:33.719 warms my heart to hear, like you said, it got 0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:36.360 at the bottom of the roster doing that, especially during 0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:39.000 times like these people don't talk about it enough, like 0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:42.480 some of these charitable networks, that the things that they do, 0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:44.680 the team does. I know from my wife telling me 0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:48.000 about different things that they did yesterday's Salvation Army. This 0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:50.520 is the time everybody needs to get in regardless. I 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:52.000 know we're talking about Man of the Year and all that, 0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:54.600 but it's a perfect time to say, especially during the holidays, 0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:56.800 a lot of people don't have it. So you know, 0:20:56.960 --> 0:21:00.520 these efforts and people like Tank, people like Tyinge that 0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:02.640 do the greater good, like we need more. 0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:03.880 Yeah, understanding? 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:07.840 All Right, Cowboys in Buffalo this week for Week fifteen, 0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:10.359 the Cowboys are a point and a half to a 0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:13.720 two point underdog in this game. This is about Josh Allen. Okay, 0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:16.320 the Bills go as far as Josh Allen goes. He's 0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:19.760 got fourteen interceptions. He leads the National Football League in 0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:23.200 that department. How do you limit Josh Allen, especially coming 0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:25.399 off of what we saw Jalen Hurts was able to 0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:27.960 do against the Cowboys last week. 0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:33.280 It's tough because I don't want to sound like I'm like, 0:21:33.000 --> 0:21:35.600 I'm like I'm being rude or offensive to Josh Allen. 0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:39.000 But okay, mind, you just gotta let him play like 0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:42.119 because what Josh Allen has proved is he will give 0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:45.320 you the ball. He will make sure that there's an 0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:48.200 opportunity for you to take the ball away from the 0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:50.679 Buffalo Bills. Right, if you figure out a way to 0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:52.720 stop the run against the Buffalo Bills and you put 0:21:52.760 --> 0:21:55.639 make Josh Allen put everything on his shoulders where he 0:21:55.720 --> 0:21:57.639 has to make all the throws, he has to make 0:21:57.680 --> 0:21:59.640 all the runs. He's proven that he's going to give 0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:01.840 you the ball, right, and what do we do as 0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:03.359 the as a Cowboys defense? 0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:05.360 Take away? Take the ball away? All right? 0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:07.320 So you play the same defense that you've been playing 0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:09.359 against a guy like a Jalen Hurts right where you 0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:11.800 make sure you in your rush lanes where you making 0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:14.800 sure that you don't let the guy extend plays, right, 0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:16.240 that you plaster. 0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:18.440 When he does. But then also you know, hey, man, 0:22:18.520 --> 0:22:20.640 the longer these drives go, the more. 0:22:20.520 --> 0:22:22.520 Chance it is that Josh Allen is gonna find a 0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:24.960 way to give us the football, all right, So play 0:22:24.960 --> 0:22:27.480 your defense, be sound in your rush lanes. When it's 0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:31.120 time to plaster, plaster, make sure that that's that Stephan 0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:35.000 Digg's guy, all right, see Steph on Gilmour, And that's 0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:36.520 the matchup that we want to see out there. But 0:22:36.560 --> 0:22:38.000 I think that's how you how you gotta do it, man, 0:22:38.040 --> 0:22:39.480 Josh Allens is gonna find a way to give it 0:22:39.520 --> 0:22:41.399 to you. Make sure you stop the run against this 0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:44.160 guy and put it all into Josh Allen's answer. But hey, 0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:46.400 you know to pick you know the nickname I got 0:22:46.440 --> 0:22:49.160 for him, he gonna give it to you. He gonna 0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:51.000 sprinkle it on that, he gonna sprinkle it on there. 0:22:51.240 --> 0:22:52.840 And so you said it up. I mean you said 0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:54.240 it all about him in the way it turns the 0:22:54.240 --> 0:22:57.119 ball over. But I think how you stop him as 0:22:57.160 --> 0:23:00.520 you stop him from getting in rhythm rushing, he's a 0:23:00.520 --> 0:23:03.240 big part of the rushing game. He's big man, he's big, strong, 0:23:03.560 --> 0:23:06.480 a six five two forty and he leaning on you 0:23:06.560 --> 0:23:09.160 and he is like with reckless abandon he doesn't care 0:23:09.560 --> 0:23:12.400 about taking the licks in the running game, the tush push. 0:23:12.440 --> 0:23:14.080 He ain't trying to do all of that. 0:23:14.240 --> 0:23:16.720 And so I think that's what makes him so hard 0:23:16.800 --> 0:23:19.960 to defend, is when he's running the game, running the 0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:21.280 ball and he's moving the chains. 0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:23.280 But it's Stephan Diggs. 0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:26.040 When Stephan Diggs is that guy that when he's getting 0:23:26.040 --> 0:23:28.240 off he's having a good game, everybody else kind of 0:23:28.280 --> 0:23:31.679 feeds on that. And so there are other components to 0:23:31.720 --> 0:23:35.200 their offense. And James Cook, I also believe Dalvin Cook's 0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:38.800 little brother. When he's when he's catching the ball, he's 0:23:38.920 --> 0:23:41.600 just as much as the weapon as any other running 0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:42.440 back in the league. 0:23:42.480 --> 0:23:43.600 And so you have to limit that. 0:23:43.720 --> 0:23:48.000 Our linebackers Marquise Bell, our guy from LSU. They're gonna 0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:49.600 have to be on their game this week. I mean 0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:51.840 not only up front, but our safeties are going to 0:23:51.880 --> 0:23:54.240 have to watch for a guy like Josh Allen because, 0:23:54.359 --> 0:23:57.280 like you said, the same thing last week applies this week. Well, 0:23:57.480 --> 0:23:59.040 you know the other issue is now you got to 0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:01.320 go watch film their officer coordinators. 0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:04.080 Who Joe Brady. 0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:06.000 Where was Joe Brady at Carolina? 0:24:06.119 --> 0:24:07.480 No, no, no, Joe Brady. 0:24:07.240 --> 0:24:11.080 Was in bad tone ruge. No no no, because he 0:24:11.160 --> 0:24:13.280 was not good in Carolina. Okay, he lost. He lost 0:24:13.280 --> 0:24:17.600 that really quickly. Okay, chance, I'm gonna pass that up. Yeah, 0:24:17.720 --> 0:24:19.360 I'm gonna pass that up. And I'm gonna go back 0:24:19.400 --> 0:24:22.119 to LSU where he had this prolific office of twenty nineteen. 0:24:22.240 --> 0:24:24.680 But what you see, since Joe Brady started calling the places, 0:24:24.720 --> 0:24:27.240 they run the ball a little bit more, Buffalo has 0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:28.560 not been a running football team. 0:24:28.600 --> 0:24:30.560 I've seen him be willing to. 0:24:30.640 --> 0:24:32.320 Run the ball a little bit more, which is why 0:24:32.320 --> 0:24:34.080 you see a guy like Cooks all of a sudden 0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:36.119 being a little bit more impactful in the game. So 0:24:36.320 --> 0:24:38.880 you have to stop you, you gotta stop the run. 0:24:38.920 --> 0:24:41.360 That's Josh Allen and that's Cooks as well. And then, 0:24:41.359 --> 0:24:43.680 like I said, just put it. Let the man give 0:24:43.680 --> 0:24:45.399 you an opportunity to go. They gonna give you what 0:24:45.880 --> 0:24:48.600 you said, pick who picked six? We gotta give you 0:24:48.960 --> 0:24:51.320 for another one? Okay, Like who's gonna find a way 0:24:51.359 --> 0:24:52.960 to give it to you, especially if it's a tight game. 0:24:53.480 --> 0:24:54.760 That is almost a guarantee. 0:24:54.880 --> 0:24:57.639 That's been interesting to look over Stephan Dicks's numbers here 0:24:57.720 --> 0:25:00.680 last game against Kansas City four catches twenty four yards, 0:25:01.040 --> 0:25:03.560 played Philadelphia six catches seventy four yards. 0:25:03.600 --> 0:25:05.280 Well know, Philly be giving up to everybody. 0:25:05.720 --> 0:25:10.199 The Jets four catches for twenty seven yards, then Denver 0:25:10.720 --> 0:25:12.840 three catches thirty four yards. 0:25:12.520 --> 0:25:17.040 And then uh defenses right there in November. 0:25:16.560 --> 0:25:20.040 Fifth against the Bengals six catches eighty six yards. So 0:25:21.680 --> 0:25:23.960 you know it's been it's been hit or miss for Steph. 0:25:23.960 --> 0:25:26.120 Fun So as you said, a good defense. 0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:28.320 That's a defense you just name right there. Man, goodness, girls, 0:25:28.400 --> 0:25:30.760 that's that's a gauntlet. But you still got to find 0:25:30.760 --> 0:25:33.240 a way to make the players I should. I still 0:25:33.240 --> 0:25:36.080 feel like him and guys like von Miller, even though 0:25:36.359 --> 0:25:38.639 like say, for instance, von Miller. Von Miller is a 0:25:38.680 --> 0:25:41.760 guy that don't let him, don't let him start. Don't 0:25:43.960 --> 0:25:47.040 he gets one, he's gonna get two. Uh, try and 0:25:47.080 --> 0:25:49.760 stay on. And it's not And you're right, Stephan Dees 0:25:49.880 --> 0:25:52.240 is not having a year that he has had in past, 0:25:52.280 --> 0:25:54.760 but he's still a dangerous receiver. He's still dangerous at home. 0:25:55.160 --> 0:25:58.440 And I am I wanted to be a step fund 0:25:58.480 --> 0:26:00.879 step fund matchup, but I don't think. Hey, it's not 0:26:01.040 --> 0:26:03.760 It's not gonna be easy anywhere around them for those 0:26:03.800 --> 0:26:05.760 wide receivers. Man, they got some, they got a pretty 0:26:05.800 --> 0:26:09.200 good group. Yeah, listen, Seth fun I think I think 0:26:09.240 --> 0:26:11.639 that droun blnt. I think our defensive backs right now, 0:26:11.680 --> 0:26:14.800 looking at their chops and and and and they should 0:26:14.840 --> 0:26:16.960 be just based off of what Josh Allen has done 0:26:16.960 --> 0:26:17.440 in the past. 0:26:17.480 --> 0:26:19.399 So who gets the pick? Josh giving him up? 0:26:19.600 --> 0:26:23.480 Fourteen? Okay, fourteen? I guess I can't remember how many 0:26:23.520 --> 0:26:25.440 in the row it is. But he's been he's he's 0:26:25.440 --> 0:26:25.879 on the street. 0:26:26.000 --> 0:26:28.000 You know what I just saw. I just saw it. 0:26:28.080 --> 0:26:31.359 I just saw Marque's you just saw. I just I 0:26:31.400 --> 0:26:32.160 don't know what happened. 0:26:32.160 --> 0:26:32.480 I don't know. 0:26:32.920 --> 0:26:34.440 I just saw I looked at you and I saw 0:26:34.520 --> 0:26:39.040 Bunky's still coming across the middle underneath coverage getting interception. 0:26:39.080 --> 0:26:42.160 That's what I saw. I don't know I saw last week. 0:26:42.520 --> 0:26:43.639 You know, they come in bunches. 0:26:43.720 --> 0:26:45.560 Who you got, who gets you know what? I think 0:26:45.600 --> 0:26:49.600 Gilly gets him. I think Stephan Gilmore gets him. Yeah, 0:26:49.800 --> 0:26:51.760 I mean he's an old, savvy veteran. He's a guy 0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:54.879 that can set traps for a guy like Josh Allen, 0:26:55.400 --> 0:26:57.000 and I see him getting them. Because I think that's 0:26:57.000 --> 0:26:58.240 gonna be the matchup. 0:26:58.880 --> 0:27:00.679 Coming back home, coming back to where he was drafted 0:27:00.720 --> 0:27:01.000 to Bill. 0:27:01.119 --> 0:27:02.399 I think that's going to be the match up. 0:27:03.119 --> 0:27:03.840 I'll go with Blad. 0:27:04.880 --> 0:27:13.560 It's been a minute, it haven't been that long now, 0:27:13.640 --> 0:27:16.040 if folks, and they're starting to stay away from but 0:27:16.080 --> 0:27:16.760 I just want to. 0:27:16.720 --> 0:27:18.920 Say even gave Davis. Gave Davis for them. 0:27:18.960 --> 0:27:22.800 Net wide receivers are interesting, you know, because gave David 0:27:22.840 --> 0:27:25.760 six two two ten. He's a big dude. Turn into him. 0:27:25.840 --> 0:27:29.400 What's the Dunton Dunton k? But he's questionable, he's questionable 0:27:29.600 --> 0:27:33.879 and he's not on my fantasy. You know, they always 0:27:33.920 --> 0:27:36.040 find a reason to play when the Cowboys, you know. 0:27:36.480 --> 0:27:38.479 This is true, this is true. The fans show up. 0:27:38.480 --> 0:27:40.480 It's going to be a sellout, guys know, I mean 0:27:40.480 --> 0:27:42.480 here it is the Fox has the game and sending 0:27:42.520 --> 0:27:43.720 the number one team out there. 0:27:44.000 --> 0:27:47.840 I think for that only once. 0:27:47.760 --> 0:27:51.320 This year has have the Cowboys not had a network's 0:27:51.400 --> 0:27:52.760 number one team. 0:27:52.640 --> 0:27:58.520 Do their game. I cannot remember the JITs we had 0:27:58.600 --> 0:28:11.760 jumped the bilma with my god, your own people usually 0:28:13.119 --> 0:28:16.120 my man, my man, my man, my man. 0:28:16.960 --> 0:28:18.960 It was the Arizona game, I believe was it. 0:28:19.000 --> 0:28:21.439 I believe it was Josh started quarterback and all the 0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:23.159 I can understand that. Yeah, it was. 0:28:23.640 --> 0:28:25.800 It was either Arizona game or the New England game. 0:28:25.960 --> 0:28:26.399 It was it was. 0:28:26.800 --> 0:28:29.400 I guess we did have a few, yes, probably one 0:28:29.400 --> 0:28:31.800 of those. So how far ahead do they book what 0:28:31.840 --> 0:28:34.200 they upset? When a Rogers got hurt and the name 0:28:34.880 --> 0:28:38.920 sending out one uh crew for the New York Jets game, 0:28:39.320 --> 0:28:41.400 and then you find out, you know, he's not playing, 0:28:41.440 --> 0:28:42.720 then you. 0:28:43.160 --> 0:28:45.800 Still send him out because it's the Cowboys and it's 0:28:45.840 --> 0:28:49.160 the Cowboys home opener, and you just say, New York Dallas, 0:28:49.560 --> 0:28:51.240 you know you're gonna do it out there. I remember 0:28:51.320 --> 0:28:54.880 one year, sorry, but it was one year when the 0:28:54.920 --> 0:28:57.920 Cowboys were down too offensive tackles and they had to 0:28:57.920 --> 0:29:01.840 go face the Jets, and the Jets were bad, and 0:29:02.000 --> 0:29:05.320 CBS had Romo and Nance out there, like, how in 0:29:05.360 --> 0:29:06.800 the world is this the game. 0:29:06.640 --> 0:29:10.120 Of the week. It's the headline still and. 0:29:10.280 --> 0:29:12.760 Next thing you know is another JG special. The Jets 0:29:12.760 --> 0:29:14.200 went out there and won the game. It was like, 0:29:14.400 --> 0:29:16.600 you know what, man, the networks, they. 0:29:16.520 --> 0:29:21.719 Know Romo was calling. I wouldn't. 0:29:21.920 --> 0:29:24.160 Yeah, so it was just but they you're going to 0:29:24.200 --> 0:29:26.720 send out your number one crew because the Cowboys get 0:29:26.800 --> 0:29:29.720 you the most ratings that they just do and people 0:29:29.760 --> 0:29:32.040 can talk about No, it should be American teen. Whether 0:29:32.120 --> 0:29:35.080 you like them or hate them, you care. And I 0:29:35.120 --> 0:29:37.640 can't tell you how many times I go on the 0:29:37.720 --> 0:29:41.520 road and I see not just the fans at the game, 0:29:41.760 --> 0:29:44.840 it's the people at the hotels who don't even have tickets, 0:29:44.840 --> 0:29:47.960 who just want to be around. What I saw in Jacksonville's, Man, 0:29:47.960 --> 0:29:50.280 that was some unholy stuff I saw in Jacksonville that hotel. 0:29:51.000 --> 0:29:54.960 It was unholdly well.

Man shout out, shout off the camps 0:35:22.200 --> 0:35:27.280 to me, Chris Camps. No, but listen, listen, listen about 0:35:27.280 --> 0:35:28.960 about this Josh Allen thing. I know, because I know 0:35:29.000 --> 0:35:29.600 it's not just me. 0:35:31.920 --> 0:35:32.200 I don't. 0:35:32.239 --> 0:35:34.399 I don't want it to get into this because now 0:35:34.440 --> 0:35:36.399 everybody is starting to turn on that. Do we give 0:35:36.480 --> 0:35:39.799 Josh Allen too much criticism for all these turnovers that. 0:35:39.920 --> 0:35:43.359 He gives away? How can you know you. 0:35:43.280 --> 0:35:46.120 Can if you just you consistently lead the league and turnovers, 0:35:46.120 --> 0:35:48.440 how can somebody over criticize you. 0:35:48.440 --> 0:35:51.480 No, it's consistent now for. 0:35:51.480 --> 0:35:54.799 Me, for me, Josh all of the what Josh Alla 0:35:54.880 --> 0:35:57.200 is getting as far as the turnovers, it's warranted to 0:35:57.239 --> 0:36:01.200 think about last year DAK fifteen twelve. Everybody talked about that, 0:36:01.280 --> 0:36:03.959 but nobody talked about Josh Allen. But for me, he missed, 0:36:04.080 --> 0:36:05.920 he missed, he missed, he missed some games. Now it 0:36:05.920 --> 0:36:09.319 still was up there with no. No, No, it's warranted criticism, 0:36:09.400 --> 0:36:11.400 especially with the amount of games that he played in 0:36:11.440 --> 0:36:14.040 the turnovers. But I'm saying, Josh Josh Allen year in 0:36:14.080 --> 0:36:17.200 and year out has missed that same criticism and has 0:36:17.280 --> 0:36:19.120 always been amongst. 0:36:18.760 --> 0:36:20.000 The elite quarterbacks. 0:36:20.040 --> 0:36:22.799 Even right now with the turnovers, nobody's looking at Josh 0:36:22.840 --> 0:36:25.040 Allen and saying, oh man, it's having a horrible year. 0:36:25.160 --> 0:36:27.640 He has what fourteen turnovers right now, fourty to something 0:36:27.680 --> 0:36:32.040 like that, but twenty four touchdowns. Dak leading the league 0:36:32.160 --> 0:36:37.680 in touchdowns six turnovers so far this season. You could 0:36:37.680 --> 0:36:40.520 talk MVP race, you can right now. It's him going 0:36:40.560 --> 0:36:44.480 head to head versus Josh Allen, and the narrative couldn't 0:36:44.520 --> 0:36:47.680 be written any better. The opportunity for Dak couldn't be 0:36:47.719 --> 0:36:50.560 any better because he gets an opportunity to win head 0:36:50.600 --> 0:36:54.040 to head versus a guy that when people compare them, 0:36:54.160 --> 0:36:57.600 they always give Josh Allen the upper hand over Dak, 0:36:57.680 --> 0:36:58.440 and I don't see it. 0:36:59.400 --> 0:37:02.600 I think it's a And last year's perception with Dak 0:37:02.640 --> 0:37:05.680 Prescott leading the league in interceptions. 0:37:05.040 --> 0:37:08.000 Was that this is who he is, this is. 0:37:07.800 --> 0:37:10.520 His career, and what he is is a turnover prone 0:37:10.600 --> 0:37:12.880 quarterback and the Cowboys can't win because of that. That 0:37:13.000 --> 0:37:15.239 was what was pushed out there, and he spent a 0:37:15.280 --> 0:37:18.640 whole off season battling Now, whereas Josh Allen and you 0:37:18.640 --> 0:37:20.560 look at it. For the last four years, nobody has 0:37:20.640 --> 0:37:22.879 led the league in turnovers more than Josh. 0:37:23.120 --> 0:37:25.200 That's who he is is. 0:37:24.719 --> 0:37:28.480 But it is erased and people are giving excuses, Oh, 0:37:28.520 --> 0:37:29.960 you have a run game, you gotta do this, you 0:37:29.960 --> 0:37:30.480 gotta do that. 0:37:30.800 --> 0:37:32.520 And I think that's the. 0:37:32.120 --> 0:37:36.640 Frustration for Cowboy Nation is they say, wait a minute, now, 0:37:37.120 --> 0:37:39.840 how are we going to do this. Let's do this fairly. 0:37:40.480 --> 0:37:43.520 And if you're Dak Prescott, you just have to know 0:37:43.600 --> 0:37:47.319 this comes with the meal. It truly does. It's not 0:37:47.400 --> 0:37:50.719 about fairness. You know that people go say crazy things 0:37:50.800 --> 0:37:53.799 and wild things and perception is this or that. But 0:37:53.920 --> 0:37:56.240 he has the chance now with four games left, Heckman 0:37:56.320 --> 0:38:00.279 to control every narrative between at Buffalo at Miami, I mean, 0:38:00.640 --> 0:38:03.600 two places that are notoriously tough to win at in December. 0:38:03.920 --> 0:38:05.960 Then you get a home game against Detroit, and then 0:38:05.960 --> 0:38:07.840 you finish the season on the road of the Commanders, 0:38:07.840 --> 0:38:09.879 who are basically playing out the stream because that whole 0:38:09.880 --> 0:38:12.560 staff is going to be fired. He's got the opportunity 0:38:12.920 --> 0:38:15.799 to go out here yea and right, and he talked 0:38:15.800 --> 0:38:16.799 about writing his own story. 0:38:16.880 --> 0:38:18.600 He can go ahead and write a heck of an Indian. 0:38:18.760 --> 0:38:22.719 And knew it's not the dark criticism For me, it's 0:38:22.760 --> 0:38:25.879 not just wrong, it ain't right. 0:38:26.440 --> 0:38:26.920 It ain't right. 0:38:26.920 --> 0:38:30.000 It's disrespectful and it has been and you see it changing. Look, 0:38:30.000 --> 0:38:32.080 here's the thing. Dak probably don't care. He don't care 0:38:32.080 --> 0:38:34.440 about the people that are doing the about face. That's 0:38:34.480 --> 0:38:36.719 what I'm uncomfortable with. You can't just be saying Dak 0:38:36.800 --> 0:38:38.759 is trash. He's not this, he's not that, so all 0:38:38.800 --> 0:38:41.560 of a sudden, oh my god, he's MVP like no. 0:38:42.920 --> 0:38:43.840 Is their difference? 0:38:44.520 --> 0:38:47.839 Is there a difference between last year when people were 0:38:47.920 --> 0:38:51.160 saying that Dak missed a certain amount of games was 0:38:51.160 --> 0:38:53.799 a five? How many games he missed and still and 0:38:53.880 --> 0:38:57.799 still led the league and interceptions and saying wow, that's 0:38:57.880 --> 0:39:00.840 bad to now him coming in and say, I know 0:39:00.960 --> 0:39:03.239 it was an issue. I won't throw ten this year though, 0:39:03.280 --> 0:39:05.520 I'm telling you I won't throw ten. And the people 0:39:05.520 --> 0:39:07.799 that were saying, hey man, that don't look good, that 0:39:07.840 --> 0:39:09.600 don't look like the deck that we're used to seeing 0:39:09.840 --> 0:39:12.920 to now this year saying okay, all right, this is 0:39:13.000 --> 0:39:16.080 this is actually a little better, especially since the bye week. 0:39:16.360 --> 0:39:18.120 Don't I don't think it's necessarily a. 0:39:18.040 --> 0:39:21.160 Flip of like, how you this is not everybody like 0:39:21.480 --> 0:39:23.680 not Shady McCoy and those type of guys. I'm talking 0:39:23.680 --> 0:39:26.640 about people who are really being critical and fair about 0:39:26.640 --> 0:39:28.520 what the players are doing on and off the field. 0:39:28.680 --> 0:39:30.759 Last year was an anomaly to me, but he still 0:39:30.800 --> 0:39:33.120 led the league and turnover, so the criticism was there. 0:39:33.280 --> 0:39:36.080 And this year he's an MVP race because he's leading 0:39:36.080 --> 0:39:38.600 the league in touchdowns and doesn't have but he had 0:39:38.600 --> 0:39:41.560 two interceptions over the last five s. Like, I think 0:39:41.600 --> 0:39:42.960 it kind of plays out of them, but I keep what. 0:39:43.000 --> 0:39:46.640 Heck was saying is like, where's that same intensity for 0:39:47.160 --> 0:39:50.560 Josh Allen when this happens there? And I don't know 0:39:50.600 --> 0:39:54.480 if you watched the game on Monday night and dan 0:39:54.600 --> 0:39:58.040 Orlowski could not have been palm palmming more for that 0:39:58.120 --> 0:40:02.200 dude from Kentucky Will Levis. I mean, my gosh, whatever 0:40:02.280 --> 0:40:04.680 mistake he made, it was glossed over, it was was 0:40:04.719 --> 0:40:07.400 met with some love and tenderness, and then he end 0:40:07.520 --> 0:40:09.560 up winning the game and next thing you know, he 0:40:09.640 --> 0:40:11.960 about to put put him on on a level of 0:40:12.000 --> 0:40:12.759 both Carson Wentz. 0:40:12.800 --> 0:40:14.120 We know how he loves some Carson Wentz. 0:40:14.440 --> 0:40:17.440 But that's all my issue is just like the intensity 0:40:17.520 --> 0:40:19.000 level of how this stuff goes. 0:40:19.440 --> 0:40:20.960 It's one thing. 0:40:20.840 --> 0:40:23.359 For these guys and certain others, or as you said 0:40:23.400 --> 0:40:24.919 my radio show, what I was doing back in the day. 0:40:25.040 --> 0:40:27.640 It's interesting on who we choose to condemn and who 0:40:27.680 --> 0:40:28.480 we choose to forget. 0:40:28.600 --> 0:40:31.560 Now, when I think about the little Will Levis thing, 0:40:31.640 --> 0:40:34.120 I'm looking at Dan, I'm looking at Dan, and I'm saying. 0:40:34.080 --> 0:40:35.240 Oh, he's seeing himself. 0:40:35.920 --> 0:40:38.840 He's seeing himself as as like being in that position 0:40:38.920 --> 0:40:42.880 and then getting an opportunity. So he's judging it subconsciously 0:40:43.000 --> 0:40:45.000 or not. He's judging it in a way of saying, 0:40:45.280 --> 0:40:48.239 I feel a little bit stronger about what he's being 0:40:48.280 --> 0:40:50.400 able to do based off what he has in the 0:40:50.440 --> 0:40:52.200 position that he was in at the beginning of the year. 0:40:52.320 --> 0:40:54.160 And I can say to me, I feel the same 0:40:54.280 --> 0:40:56.800 Like when CJ does good, I feel a lot better 0:40:56.960 --> 0:40:59.319 than I feel about when Daker anybody else does good. 0:40:59.440 --> 0:41:01.520 If there's a undraft, the free agent that gets in 0:41:01.560 --> 0:41:03.359 and plays safety or cornerback, and all of a sudden 0:41:03.400 --> 0:41:05.719 he's playing really good on defense, I'm ready to give 0:41:05.800 --> 0:41:08.160 him more props than I'm really to give anybody else, 0:41:08.239 --> 0:41:11.400 just because I know that's position that I came from. Yeah, 0:41:11.440 --> 0:41:15.000 I have a it's a fine line between constructive criticism 0:41:15.280 --> 0:41:17.319 and just hate based off of what you was just 0:41:17.360 --> 0:41:20.160 talking about the guys that you're the debt for every 0:41:20.239 --> 0:41:23.120 dan In Orlowski, Bart Scott, all those guys that just 0:41:23.120 --> 0:41:25.680 play the heel on shows. To say that we going 0:41:25.719 --> 0:41:28.239 to make this very interesting in our assessment of who 0:41:28.280 --> 0:41:29.520 we think Dak Prescott is. 0:41:29.600 --> 0:41:31.800 Oh look, this. 0:41:31.640 --> 0:41:34.200 Guy has been good for a number of years and 0:41:34.320 --> 0:41:37.120 having got the credit. When people talk about top ten, 0:41:37.239 --> 0:41:39.440 top five, whatever, his name is never mentioned. 0:41:39.480 --> 0:41:41.520 They don't talk about him. It's cool, it's cool. 0:41:41.560 --> 0:41:44.440 So right now for the pendulum to swing to people 0:41:44.440 --> 0:41:47.200 saying that he's the MVP, I'm fine with that also. 0:41:47.440 --> 0:41:49.440 But what I'm saying when it comes down to the 0:41:49.480 --> 0:41:52.120 next couple of games, he already started with Jalen Hurts 0:41:52.280 --> 0:41:54.680 and the head to head matchup. Next week he has 0:41:54.840 --> 0:41:57.239 our man Josh Allen next. The week after that he 0:41:57.360 --> 0:42:00.200 has tour a Tongue of Valloa, all right, and then 0:42:00.360 --> 0:42:02.840 after that against the Lions, he gets an opportunity to 0:42:02.880 --> 0:42:06.200 go against a guy that with Carson Wentz, they always 0:42:06.280 --> 0:42:09.120 said that that guy was better than Dak Prescott. Look 0:42:09.160 --> 0:42:12.239 at what he gets to do head and possibly take 0:42:12.280 --> 0:42:15.000 home that hardware for the MVP. Yeah, and he battling 0:42:15.080 --> 0:42:16.759 with Party and you know Perty got the win over 0:42:16.840 --> 0:42:18.680 him already, so and I don't get that. 0:42:18.920 --> 0:42:22.080 Yeah, you know, I was talking on boy Chris Bussard yesterday. 0:42:22.280 --> 0:42:24.799 Chris was on TV, you know, pumping up the party there. 0:42:24.880 --> 0:42:28.239 I said, Chris, how can you be MVP of the 0:42:28.320 --> 0:42:30.440 league if you're not the MVP of your own offense? 0:42:33.320 --> 0:42:35.919 That's that's a cold blood that's a cold bloody question. 0:42:36.120 --> 0:42:38.080 And the thing is he's like a victim of his 0:42:38.200 --> 0:42:41.839 own success. Is pretty but look at I mean, he's 0:42:41.880 --> 0:42:45.319 also delivering the mail. Don't make me defend Purtty because 0:42:45.360 --> 0:42:47.200 I don't want to. But all I'm saying is I've 0:42:47.239 --> 0:42:50.840 seen this young man deliver on throws, run that offense 0:42:51.080 --> 0:42:52.440 and be very efficient. 0:42:52.440 --> 0:42:53.520 And I think that's how he. 0:42:53.480 --> 0:42:57.320 Gets against your football team. That's how he gets. 0:42:56.440 --> 0:43:00.520 Not That's not my debate is whether not he's a 0:43:00.560 --> 0:43:03.640 good player. My simple thing is, can you be the 0:43:03.760 --> 0:43:06.279 MVP of the league if you're not the MVP of 0:43:06.280 --> 0:43:07.160 Your's hard to do. 0:43:07.840 --> 0:43:10.320 That's hard because if you play quarterback you can't because 0:43:10.840 --> 0:43:12.840 there you quarterbacks, there. 0:43:12.640 --> 0:43:15.160 You go, because I think all of us would simply 0:43:15.200 --> 0:43:17.319 say if we were on the forty nine ers and 0:43:17.360 --> 0:43:19.080 we were sitting, hey, who's the team MVP? 0:43:19.520 --> 0:43:21.160 We write down Christian McCaffrey. 0:43:21.800 --> 0:43:23.840 And to sit up here and say, in a national 0:43:23.880 --> 0:43:26.880 football league where you're supposed to have fifty eight fifty 0:43:26.880 --> 0:43:29.439 writers who vote on the award, come up here and say, 0:43:29.480 --> 0:43:32.520 these are the brightest minds of football, tell me run 0:43:32.560 --> 0:43:33.080 the CMC. 0:43:33.840 --> 0:43:34.239 It's not. 0:43:34.640 --> 0:43:36.600 It's the MVP of the forty nine ers, But we're 0:43:36.600 --> 0:43:38.680 gonna give party the MVP the league. 0:43:39.239 --> 0:43:41.319 I just I find that amazing to me. 0:43:41.480 --> 0:43:44.400 That's almost like the hot Look not, it's almost like 0:43:44.400 --> 0:43:44.960 the Heisman. 0:43:45.160 --> 0:43:47.239 It's a quarterback award. It is. 0:43:47.280 --> 0:43:49.880 It's a quarterback award, which you expect to give it 0:43:49.920 --> 0:43:50.520 to the quarterback. 0:43:51.920 --> 0:43:53.520 We're gonna give it Geno trip. 0:43:56.040 --> 0:43:59.560 Not like but true, but you understand it is. That's 0:43:59.560 --> 0:44:02.040 what it is. We're gonna give this award to the quarterback. 0:44:02.160 --> 0:44:02.560 And we're not. 0:44:02.719 --> 0:44:04.800 I mean, come on, man, you have to give a 0:44:04.880 --> 0:44:07.120 cheat of credit for the year, the season that he's having. 0:44:07.120 --> 0:44:10.680 He's doing something that is crazy from a numbers aspect. 0:44:10.760 --> 0:44:14.520 So if you had a vote, would you vote party 0:44:15.280 --> 0:44:17.400 ahead of run CMC on your ballot? 0:44:17.640 --> 0:44:20.400 Never? Never? I mean because I'm watching it. 0:44:20.680 --> 0:44:22.600 I'm watching it and I see it, and I see 0:44:22.800 --> 0:44:24.360 the difference that Christi McCaffrey is. 0:44:24.760 --> 0:44:27.920 What about you? If you had a ballot right now. 0:44:27.800 --> 0:44:29.480 I would not, but I have to see how the 0:44:29.480 --> 0:44:32.360 rest of it plays out, because they still have some games. 0:44:32.480 --> 0:44:34.000 But your team is number one. 0:44:33.960 --> 0:44:35.680 Based on after fourteen weeks. 0:44:35.719 --> 0:44:37.839 If you had a ballot to fit put put down, 0:44:38.160 --> 0:44:40.840 would you put run CMC ahead of Perty No. 0:44:41.040 --> 0:44:44.080 I would put run CMC as the MVP of the 0:44:44.080 --> 0:44:47.120 San Francisco forty nine ers, knowing that the NFL is 0:44:47.160 --> 0:44:51.160 a quarterback league in that that award usually is going 0:44:51.200 --> 0:44:52.040 to go to the quarterback. 0:44:52.120 --> 0:44:54.080 I do understand how they're going to do that. 0:44:54.600 --> 0:44:57.640 You know, to one, give San Francisco somebody with an 0:44:57.719 --> 0:45:00.840 MVP because in CMC not winning it a of Dak Prescott, 0:45:01.200 --> 0:45:03.520 he's not winning it above these other hills. 0:45:03.520 --> 0:45:04.880 Now they're not winning it. 0:45:04.920 --> 0:45:06.279 So if you're gonna if you want to make it 0:45:06.320 --> 0:45:08.640 a competitive race, okay, the number one team in the 0:45:08.680 --> 0:45:12.560 league and he's and he's I don't want to take 0:45:12.560 --> 0:45:15.160 anything away from he's playing well. He played well against US, 0:45:15.320 --> 0:45:18.400 he played well against Philly. He has consistently been able 0:45:18.400 --> 0:45:21.280 to put great games together. I'm talking about four touchdown, 0:45:21.360 --> 0:45:24.239 three hundred yard type games. So his stats aren't just 0:45:24.680 --> 0:45:25.680 they're not nothing. 0:45:25.840 --> 0:45:28.080 The dude. The dude is playing very well. 0:45:27.760 --> 0:45:30.040 They like Magic and Kareem right now. They both have 0:45:30.120 --> 0:45:32.040 a great years, but you know, only one on could 0:45:32.040 --> 0:45:33.880 be the MVP. All right, we'll pick this up tomorrow. 0:45:34.160 --> 0:45:37.600 Danny mccraig good talking, Heck Maherrison talking.
