That's 49 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: always fun as well. But Martin, this is a big 50 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: game for both teams. Again, both teams are, you know, 51 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: fighting for their playoff lives. The Lions, it's been a 52 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: weird street season for them, where if you just you know, 53 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: they've played well at times and you thought, okay, this 54 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: is this is who they are, But then they've had 55 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: a couple of games they shouldn't lost, the most notably 56 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: in my opinion, that Vikings game. They shouldn't have lost 57 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: that one a halfful of weeks ago. Now they find 58 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: themselves seven and five on the outside looking in. You 59 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: got the Cowboys at six five and one, remember that 60 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: tie with the Packers. But they've been playing really well 61 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: as of late, especially the offense, and the players they 62 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: acquired in that trade have been producing thus far, Quinn 63 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 1: Williams being one an example of that. So big game 64 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: tonight kick off about five fifteen. Will watch it and 65 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: keep you updated. But one of the bigger conversations a 66 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 1: couple of ways going about this game, Markin, I'll start 67 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: here is Dak Prescott and how he's kind of been 68 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: reminding folks that without the playoff success, if we were 69 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: just to simply look at regular seasons, Dak Prescott has 70 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: been a really good quarterback. Right Dak Prescott's put up 71 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: stats Dak Prescott had prior to last season when he 72 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: was hurt, ceed was hurt early, a bunch of defenders, 73 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: defensive players were hurt that had three seasons of twelve 74 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: and five, which does lead to the criticism of, well, 75 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: why don't you guys ball out the playoffs? 76 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 4: You've been twelve and five. 77 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: The expectations high a few a couple of seasons back, 78 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,119 Speaker 1: Dak is an MVP candidate, you know, so he's been 79 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: doing this, and I think that's why sometimes people can 80 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: be critical of him, is because you want more that 81 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: expectations are high. But now you look at this season 82 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: and a lot of conversations, of course, are is he 83 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: MVP candidate? Look at him, sixty nine percent complete completion percentage, 84 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: you got thirty two hundred yards, twenty five touchdowns, only 85 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: eight interceptions, rating of one hundred and two point four. 86 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 4: So he's balling out. 87 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: And to me, Martin, I think, unfortunately for any star 88 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: athlete on a team in any sport, Sands for maybe baseball. 89 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: It is ultimately gonna come down to that win loss, 90 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: and it's gonna come down to the team play. And 91 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: I say that to say because it reminds me of 92 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: he's playing great, he's balling out. But am I not 93 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: looking at the same season I was looking at last 94 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: year and maybe lesser than than Joe Burrow. And it's 95 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: the same, you know, where Joe Burrow was balling out 96 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: of control. But we were sitting here saying, man, but 97 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: look at the team. You know, oh man, look at 98 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: the team. They're not winning enough. They only got this. 99 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: They look at their barely five hundred and seventy almost 100 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: seventy one percent completion percentage, almost five thousand yards for 101 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, forty three touchdowns, nine interceptions in a rating 102 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: of one hundred and eight point five. So to me, 103 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: while Dak has looked very impressive, the team's been good 104 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: and fun to watch. I mean, he's not even on 105 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: the pace of what Joe Burrow was. And again, it's 106 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: gonna come down to how they finished. And I mean 107 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: it can't be you know, there's six five and one, 108 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: so they can't end this season like you know, nine, 109 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: what would be nine to seven and one or something. 110 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 5: Like nine six and one. 111 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it can't be that to me, because then that 112 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: to me get I go look back at Joe Burrow 113 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: had an even better year and what they finished was 114 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: it eight nine to nine. 115 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 5: I got you. 116 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 6: So that only way for Dak Prescott to win the 117 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 6: MVP is for the Cowboys from this point on to 118 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 6: the end of the season to not lose another game, 119 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 6: because the only way for Dak Prescott to win the 120 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 6: MVP is they have to make the playoffs. And at 121 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 6: this point, the outcome of I think tonight is the 122 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 6: first playoff game. 123 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 4: Of the year. 124 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 6: Whoever loses this games, I agree, you can no longer 125 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 6: talk about them as viable playoff contenders. So that Dak 126 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 6: MVP dream might die four quarters from today, right for 127 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 6: four quarters from right now. I now, if in fact 128 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 6: the Cowboys go on a streak, which I'll continue their streak, 129 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 6: I should say they've been on. They've had the best 130 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 6: three games in the probably the best two to three 131 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 6: games stretch that we've seen of any team in the NFL, 132 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 6: just in terms of what they've put on tape in. 133 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 5: This last three weeks. 134 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 6: Right, like for a three week period obviously, not the 135 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 6: over throughout the whole season. I thought it was laughable 136 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 6: that the Cowboys win total was so low because Dak 137 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 6: Prescott has been a guy when he has been healthy. 138 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 6: I believe, outside of his rookie yet know, even his rookie, 139 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 6: outside of his second year, he's double digit wins. If 140 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 6: he's healthy, he's gonna get you to double digit wins. 141 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 6: So I thought a lot of that was overblown. I 142 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 6: think this team would be better with Michael Parces on. 143 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 4: It, obviously, But. 144 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 6: George Pickens coming over to Dallas saw I saw a 145 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 6: report yesterday out of the Athletic everybody from Pittsburgh is speculating, 146 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 6: all the unnamed sources from Pittsburgh speculate the reason why 147 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 6: George Pickens is doing well in Dallas right now is 148 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 6: because there's no quarterback. There's quarterback stability, there's no quarterback 149 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 6: question marks, there's no issues. We know who the guy 150 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,119 Speaker 6: is and we're confident in that guy. And sure enough, 151 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 6: George Pickens, like many other people who are very, very 152 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 6: successful at their jobs, want to know that the people 153 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 6: around them are going to allow them to do to. 154 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 5: Be that level of successful at their jobs. 155 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 6: For me, this is a, like I said before playoffs 156 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 6: start today, loser leaves town type match. I think I've 157 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 6: not hurt anybody today nationally or otherwise. 158 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 5: Pick the Lions to win this game. 159 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 6: I'm not about to be the first to do so, 160 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 6: although I do think it should be a close one 161 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 6: and a hard fought matchup. I just think what Dallas 162 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 6: is doing offensively, plus the end season moves make this 163 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 6: team feel really really good right now, and especially as 164 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 6: they are turning the corner. And Sean Merriman just said it, 165 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 6: this is when you really start playing your best ball. 166 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 6: This is a loser least time match again. But I 167 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 6: think it's mainly because the two teams. The three teams 168 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 6: ahead of them, the Bears, Packers for the Lions, and 169 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 6: then the Eagles. 170 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 5: For the for the Cowboys, I think that the Eagles have. 171 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 6: Of those three, the Eagles are the only one that 172 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 6: have a real chance of falling apart. 173 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: We well the Bears too in that they got a 174 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: tough road they let there. They played the Lions, the 175 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: Packers twice. Who else I have to pull it up, 176 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: but they got a tough road ahead. I think it's 177 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: one more tough one as well. Uh maybe it's the 178 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: forty nine ers, but they've got it even. 179 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 6: Still, even if they go five hundred, they'll still be 180 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 6: ahead of the Lions wild card. They'll be ahead of 181 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 6: you know, these other things. 182 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 4: You talk about. 183 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: Another playoff game, That last game between the Bears and 184 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: the Lions could be huge too. I'll add some extra 185 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: motivation that you know, Dallas Cowboys lost their falling teammate 186 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: Marshawn Neeland, who passed away last month. 187 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 4: You know, that could add some extra motivation. 188 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 1: Toto, and I find it funny George Piggins is balling, 189 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: which we already knew he was talented. But to your point, 190 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: I read that same article and they're talking about, you know, 191 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: is the stability with dak and it's funny. What is 192 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: okay when either you're playing well or we are playing well. 193 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 4: What I mean by that is, if you read into that. 194 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 5: The no exactly where you're going. 195 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: One of the issues that he had in Dallas was, man, 196 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: he just shows up ladies, not always you know, necessarily 197 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: paying attention. With Pittsburgh, well, if you read same things 198 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 1: happen in Dallas, they've been finding them and everything they 199 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: had to find them. That's how Lady's been, but Daggan, 200 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: when you're bawling and we win in it, we see 201 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: that you're a key key cogging this thing. 202 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 4: We got to shot to turn this season around. 203 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: It's a little bit different, right, Well, he's just a 204 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: little lady, a little look, you know, a little tardiness. 205 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,319 Speaker 4: Ain't never did nothing nobody, you know. 206 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 5: I don't think it's that different. 207 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 6: I think the difference is is what is valued in 208 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 6: different places. Right, So like I'll equate this to something 209 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 6: language that we both speaking. Nobody else does SOLF sorry, 210 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 6: Insight radio. 211 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 4: But no TV. 212 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 6: Right, yeah, you might have a great producer who simply 213 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,839 Speaker 6: can't spell. 214 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:54,199 Speaker 4: Right man, Right now, what I'm saying all types. 215 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 6: Of great ideas. 216 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 5: Somebody that can sit there and fill your run down out. 217 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 6: They will have you with the highest rated opening segment 218 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 6: every shingle day as long as you listen to them. 219 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 6: But you do not let them write a single thing 220 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 6: that goes on to TV because they're gonna spell two 221 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 6: with three to os, right, Like. 222 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 5: You just don't do it because they can't spell. They can't. 223 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 6: They the typos don't work for them. They don't see 224 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 6: it all though, correct is a fail? Do you fire 225 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 6: that guy? Or girl, or do you put that guy 226 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 6: or girl in a position where they can do what 227 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 6: they're best at and minimize the things that they're going 228 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 6: to struggle with. I'm not saying that they never have 229 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 6: to write anything. I'm just saying that somebody else is 230 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 6: gonna check up on it. So I'm not saying George 231 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 6: Pickens is always on time. I'm saying, though, maybe though Georgia, 232 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 6: maybe we give Georgia five minute window. Maybe we give 233 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 6: Georgia five minute window. 234 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe that's okay. 235 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what, but that's a great example 236 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: of listen to somebody who reads a teleprom there every 237 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: single day. Brother, trust me, when when they start doing 238 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: certain things, they'll put the dash in between us. They 239 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: got me talking about us. I'm talking about us. It's 240 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 1: supposed to be us. I'm like, it's today today, in 241 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: the US. 242 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 6: In the US US World Report. 243 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 5: Yes, in the US period. 244 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 4: So trust me, I know all about it. You ain't 245 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 4: lying about that. 246 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: But I still think instead of six, five and one, 247 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: if they were one five, you know, one in seven 248 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: or something like that or whatever it would be, then 249 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: you know, third, three and eight or whatever. We'd been 250 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: sitting here like man joy. If only he took it serious, 251 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: if only he was locked in. He's got the talent, so, 252 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: you know, but you're right, they look they know they're 253 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 1: trying to win something. They don't want to waste the 254 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: window of DAK and CD and all this. So if 255 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: he if Bruh's gonna miss they talked about, you know, Martin, 256 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: he might miss a few team busses. You might miss 257 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 1: a few team buses. He's not missing a buster. He's 258 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,599 Speaker 1: got uber money, right, he might miss a buster. I 259 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 1: was cracking up when I've read that. But so I 260 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: see what the Cowboys do. I want to I'll go 261 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: to the other side of this a little bit. 262 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 4: With the Lions. 263 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: The thing that has been a little frustrating watching them, 264 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: I start to feel like they're they're looking so big picture, 265 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: they're forgetting the small things, and it's almost like you 266 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: gotta take care of this in order to get to 267 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: that right The way they've handled some games by day 268 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: I mean Dan Campbell, but on down they've handled it like, oh, 269 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: we're nine and one, don't worry about that game, And 270 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: it's like, no, you're creating bad habits that could affect 271 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: you later. Ultimately, affect you getting AVI and in the playoffs, 272 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: but let alone affects you in the playoffs. And we've 273 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: talked about it. I think even you and I have 274 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: talked about it. Rob and I have talked about it. 275 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: Just because you usually do doesn't mean you have to. 276 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: And their approach to well, we won't punt here, we 277 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: won't kick a field goal here, we'll go for here, 278 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: or we'll screw the fact that we're on the on 279 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: side of the ball. That's just not situational. And that 280 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: to me, Martin has come back to possibly hunt them 281 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: with a couple of games or a couple of moments 282 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: here where they could have stolen a game or not 283 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: given one away if they had played better contextualized football 284 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: or situational football. And that does worry me obviously as 285 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: a Lions fan, that let's say they sneak in getting 286 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 1: the postseason. Did you learn from San Francisco? Where is 287 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: this this whole This is just what we do, this 288 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: is just who we are. It's okay to evolve, it's 289 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: okay to be situational. And that is one of the 290 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: things that worries me. And you know, I say this 291 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: last point because I read the whole thing. Dan Campbell 292 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,839 Speaker 1: still mad about two years ago when they lost in 293 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: Dallas and the skipper play or he caught, the lineman 294 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: caught the past two point conversion should have. 295 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 5: Won the game. 296 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 4: Then they did it again. 297 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: Then they did it again, and they were talking about 298 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,199 Speaker 1: how this still haunts them. They're still mad about it, 299 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: but that's who we are, and blah blah blah. And 300 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, man, don't find yourself in another situation. Because 301 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: they had lost the season before that to Dallas in 302 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,599 Speaker 1: a weird kind of way, they thought they should have 303 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 1: had it. I'm like, don't find yourself in a situation 304 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: against an offensively good team like this where you're giving 305 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: them extra possessions, you're giving them the ball, where you're 306 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: leaving points on the on the field. 307 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 4: That will drive me crazy. 308 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 1: If that is something I find that the Lions are 309 00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: doing today, Martin, so. 310 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 6: I would say that I I've decided I'm good with 311 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 6: the going for it. There only been one time, really 312 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 6: in the entirety of the Dan Campbell era that I 313 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 6: was like, Yo, you gotta you gotta chill, and that 314 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 6: was the Eagles game. 315 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 5: We were sixteen to nine. 316 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 6: It's like, it's a you're a it's a one score game, dude, 317 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 6: Like yeah, and you go for five on fourth down? 318 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 5: Like you know what I mean? 319 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 6: Like like, all right, we have we have pushed this 320 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 6: to critical mass. But I do not have an issue 321 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 6: with the with the Lions going for it. I don't 322 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 6: game plan wise, game script. I'm good with everything Detroit does. 323 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 6: I mean that's wholeheartedly, because I think the bigger issue 324 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 6: in Detroit has been the issue of the last two seasons. 325 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 5: They have no depth because they're always hurt. 326 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 6: And I get it that people will will will point 327 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 6: and say, you know, everybody gets hurting football so on 328 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 6: and so forth. 329 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 5: I hear you. 330 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 6: But also, there's gotta be something that you're doing fundamentally 331 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 6: that is causing all of these cluster injuries. Whether it's 332 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 6: the way you the way they're working, something about that 333 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 6: has to be fundamentally changed. And I think it's the 334 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 6: same thing as San Francisco. I think it's these these 335 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 6: lay you took the words out my mouth, these teams 336 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 6: that are built on real being very physical and all 337 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 6: of that. I get it, and I but I just 338 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 6: think it takes you. 339 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 5: You had to scale it. 340 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 6: Back just a bit because you guys got to be 341 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 6: ready on Sunday, Monday, and Thursday. And I think that's 342 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 6: the biggest has been the biggest issue for the Lions 343 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 6: across the board. They win in the playoffs last year, 344 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 6: if they are not starting eleven new players on defense. 345 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: Dude, I had to screen that to Rob Parker every 346 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: day against Washington, I'm like, dude, he was like, he 347 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: kept blaming Jared Goff, and I said, despite Jared Goff's turnovers, 348 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: You're right, he was terrible, fake four or five turnovers 349 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: in that game. 350 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 5: They were right there, yes, And I said. 351 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: Their defense was there and not making jayde and Daniels 352 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: look like the return of you know, Joe Montana or something, 353 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: or Doug Williams in the Super Bowl. If you want 354 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: to keep it in with the you know, Washington the community, 355 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: I'm like, they win that game. 356 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 4: And so Matt was a whole a whole thing. 357 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: That team's defensively, especially on the injuries on the defensive 358 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: side of the ball has cost them so much. And 359 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: now what I'm Aron Saint Brown, you know, banged up. 360 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: We'll know, we'll see what he looks like. And then 361 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: Laporta out as well. But they're gonna have to find 362 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: a way to push through, because, let me tell you what, 363 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: the league. Ain't nobody feeling sorry for him, but this 364 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: is this is gonna be an interesting game. Obviously the 365 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: Lions favored three and a half, but to your point, 366 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: seems like everybody side with the Cowboys. The only thing 367 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: I'll say about the Cowboys, Martin, or at least another thing. 368 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: A couple of those games they did pull off, they 369 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: didn't look They didn't look great. Against the Eagles, they 370 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: had a great was the second half, you know what 371 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: I mean, they weren't rolling like that. 372 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 6: So four minutes into this, four minutes left in the 373 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 6: second quarter of things kind. 374 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 4: Of you can feel to get Yeah. 375 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: So there is an element of me that's like, Okay, 376 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: they've looked good offensively. Their defense hasn't been as great 377 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: as maybe people got excited about because they've made a 378 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: few plays here there, and I start to wonder, like, 379 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: all right, are we hyping them up just a little bit? 380 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: So if I'm the Lion saying it ain't that good, 381 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: you know, uh, but they're gonna have to figure out something. 382 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: I was listening to all the football talking head talking 383 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: about the Lions. They're not gonna be able to play 384 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 1: as much man. They play man defense seventy percent of 385 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: the time and against that receiving corps man that offense 386 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: with Dak, you're gonna have to mix it up. You' 387 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: gonna have to give him different looks. So Kelvin Sheppard, 388 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator for the Lions, this might be his 389 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: most important, biggest game of the season because they're gonna 390 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: have to give this defense the Cowboys offense. They're gonna 391 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,360 Speaker 1: have to make them see things differently. Eight and Huncheson 392 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: and the guys are gonna have to get in there 393 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: because if you just let Dak sit back with CD 394 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 1: on one side and GP on the other, it's gonna 395 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 1: be a long game for the Lions secondary. 396 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, it didn't matter what time to bust left. George 397 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 6: Pickles will be on time. 398 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 5: For the game. 399 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 4: You know he gonna be at the game. 400 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 5: I'll pase he'll be practice. 401 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: Rack, we talked about practice. He might not be there 402 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 1: all right, eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.

I was, you know, I was 505 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 7: disappointed that Doctor G didn't get two titles in Philadelphia, 506 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 7: But that's kind of the side. But anyways, I'll shut 507 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 7: up and let you guys talk to somebody else. I 508 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 7: love you, guys, and keep up the great work. 509 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 4: God bless you, Kurt, God bless you to my brother. 510 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 4: We appreciate you. 511 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: I just think the challenge Martin, I think Kurt is 512 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: right like that, you'd love it. But the issue I 513 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: have is Giannis unfortunately hasn't shown me that if he's 514 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: simply the guy like you are by far the guy, 515 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: and the team's good around you, or the team's really 516 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 1: good around you, or it's made around you, that he 517 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: can get us there. And that's what I mentioned in 518 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 1: the last before the break, that I'm blown away that 519 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 1: if I told you a thirty year old in his prime, 520 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: a specimen thirty plus a game, twelve thirteen rebounds, again, 521 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: all this stats, sixty plus percent bill go percentage, former 522 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 1: defensive player, he can't get to the Eastern Conference regularly, 523 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: not even the finals regularly. That is disturbing to me 524 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: when there's no real in his way, there's no real 525 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 1: opposition in his way. He's not looking at O Way 526 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: Boston and you're like, well, what is he supposed to 527 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: do with that? 528 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 4: You know, he's not looking at the. 529 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 1: Four pistons where he's like, oh, Lebron and the heatles 530 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: or something like that. 531 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,959 Speaker 4: Lebron ain't even there. Because you remember the Lebronto. 532 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: Raptors where man Lebron wasn't there, we could get it 533 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,239 Speaker 1: to the finals, like that was a real thing. He 534 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: doesn't have that in his way. So to be out 535 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: in the first round regularly. I gave you Dame Lillard, 536 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 1: I gave you Chris Middleton, the Brook Lopez and Bobby 537 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: bord Is, all these things and the good defense and 538 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: Drew Holliday, and all I got is one an Eastern 539 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: Conference final appearance which ultimately led to the title. 540 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 4: That that's a bit disappointing and underwhelming to me. 541 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 5: No, I'm right with you. I agree with you one 542 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:40,199 Speaker 5: hundred percent. 543 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,880 Speaker 6: And uh, actually, if you want to take one more call, 544 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 6: I think we can take a call. Let's tay Tim 545 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 6: and Atlanta, because this is it. I'd like to see 546 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 6: this deal happen. Give me Gianni's Petray. 547 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 4: Young All right, Chiley and Atlanta. What's up to man? 548 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 4: You're on with the odd couple? What's up? 549 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 8: Brother Calvin Martin? I like to ask, you know, why 550 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 8: is Milwaukee acting like you know they used to eat 551 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 8: and to lay me on or something? I mean, as 552 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 8: the Utah Jazz or the Brooklyn Mins or the Portland 553 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 8: Trail Blazers who would love to have one championship, get 554 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 8: you know, get your buying off these shoulders. Man, you 555 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 8: got one. You probably you know you got lucky with 556 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 8: that one because you were down to the suns. I 557 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 8: don't know, I don't know. You lost it down to you. Oh, 558 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 8: but you got one to be happy. You ain't like 559 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 8: you want of the blue bloods out here, you know, 560 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 8: if you expect to win a championship every year? 561 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 4: General Manager, Chili Tim, what's this trade you want to see? 562 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 8: Uh? I wouldn't trade him. I mean i'd trade him 563 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 8: somewhere with a team that because you need to get 564 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 8: plenty of assets to build, because it's hard to get 565 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 8: players to come to Milwaukee to start with. So this 566 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 8: may be the only way you ever really get a 567 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 8: chance to really get a good group of players. So, uh, 568 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 8: I'm trying to think you talent. I looked for somebody 569 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:59,199 Speaker 8: like uh, there's uh maybe like I looked to the maverage, maybe. 570 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 1: Because they since I'm a real quick chili, we're running 571 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: up on time, real quick. Martin's point, you're down there 572 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 1: at Atlanta. What's up with Tray Young? Five years ago? 573 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: Whatever it was, he was a hero, he's bound in 574 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: New York three four years ago. 575 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 4: Everybody loved him. 576 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: It's great, and then all of a sudden it's changed. 577 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: So what do you what's up with with Trey Young? 578 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 3: Uh? 579 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 4: Would you? 580 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 1: Is that a guy that Atlanta wants to move on 581 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: from just the field down there in Atlanta since you're there. 582 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,719 Speaker 8: Yeah, they just feel like he's not the guy like 583 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 8: you know, small guys like him. I mean it's kind 584 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 8: of hard, uh to you, you know, trying to carry your team, 585 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,120 Speaker 8: and I just think they feel like after a couple 586 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 8: of years, they look at him, it's like he just 587 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 8: didn't have his shoulders on broad enough to take him 588 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 8: where they need to go. And he earned a lot 589 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 8: to you know, he's injured a lot and I just 590 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 8: think they just figure like he may be a second piece, 591 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 8: but he's never He's not a main he's not a 592 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 8: guy that can lead it. He can be an added 593 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 8: piece to it, but he can't leave it. I think 594 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 8: the people here to realize that now he's just he's 595 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 8: just not gonna. 596 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 4: Cut it, no doubt.
