00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: of rest. I feel rejuvenated, awesome. Honestly, I feel weird,

16
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: Like you just you get in, you know, you get

17
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,080

18
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: of you know, you kind of get into the schedule.

19
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: And it was nice having what we had, like four

20
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: days off, but it kind of throws you off a

21
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,639
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, it was weird. I couldn't relax this weekend.

22
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: I kept telling my wife, like, I can't relax. I

23
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: feel like I need to be doing something. It's hard

24
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: to get out of that mode of just going, going,

25
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: going going. I had an easy time doing it day like, yeah,

26
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: it was all good with me. I napped all day Friday,

27
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: got a massage, Oh that's nice, partied on Saturday a

28
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: little bit, and watch football yesterday. It was awesome. Yeah.

29
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: I don't like it when it's like this and it's

30
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: gonna be this way all week where it's just like

31
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: it's really a Wednesday and Garrett's gonna sit up there

32
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: and say, well, today's a Monday, and you're like, no,

33
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 1: it isn't. But it's gonna happen all the way until

34
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: you get to the game. It's not gonna get normal

35
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: again until Tuesday. What's gonna what's gonna be weird is Monday.

36
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: You know, you watch a full day of games on

37
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: Sunday and then Monday it's a Monday, like it's a weekday.

38
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: You're used to working, but you're just gonna be waiting

39
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: around for the game. Yeah. So yeah, but when's the

40
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: last time we've had two weekends in a row where

41
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: where we were able to watch football on a Sunday.

42
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: It's gonna on a Saturday and a Sunday. Travel you

43
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: don't have a game on Sunday. That's that's actually pretty nice,

44
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: not complaining, but it's still it's definitely throws you for

45
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: a loop. Well, today we're going to talk a little bit.

46
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: I know there was a topic Friday that we started

47
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: up and we didn't get a chance to finish. We

48
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: were talking about change. I threw out a couple changes

49
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: that you guys that could possibly take place or just

50
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,839
Speaker 1: changes that we're worth talking about, and there were four

51
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: others that I have for you guys. We're gonna talk

52
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: a little bit more about that. But before we get

53
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: to that, I just wanted to recap a little bit

54
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: on the weekend. I assume you guys watched a little

55
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: football this weekend, and I mean I saw somebody say

56
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: on Twitter, it feels like a victory Monday. Not really,

57
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: because all the things that the Cowboys probably wanted to

58
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: happen this weekend, two in particular, did not happen. You

59
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: saw two division teams that you probably wanted to take

60
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: a loss, both get a win. Washington beats New York,

61
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: which you probably could have expected. Yeah, on the road

62
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: you thought maybe it was a chance, but obviously not.

63
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: And then Philadelphia in London gets to win over Jacksonville,

64
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: and Jacksonville continues to just look awful and it's it's amazing.

65
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: Then at forty to seven wins, losing some luster, right,

66
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: It's like one of those things where you thought at

67
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 1: the time it was a really great win, but now

68
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: you kind of wonder if it was just that's a

69
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: bad team. And really, looking at all the teams the

70
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys have beaten, you know, there's not a lot of

71
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: there's not a lot there to say that that you

72
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: can gauge how good the Cowboys are because the teams

73
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 1: that they've beaten aren't very good. That's that's the NFL

74
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: for me, though with very rare exceptions. I mean, if

75
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: you go up to Foxborough and beat the Pats, you

76
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: should feel pretty good about that. If you beat this

77
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: Rams team, if you beat the Packers while Aaron Rodgers

78
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: is in there, okay, But for the most I mean,

79
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: it's the NFL. Any. I mean, the Bills went on

80
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: the road and beat the crap out of what we

81
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: think as a decent Vikings team, which so you know,

82
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: that looks like a statement win that the Saints put

83
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: up last night. But is it? I mean, have the

84
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: Vikings look like world beaters to this point and every

85
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: one of they every one of the losses the Cowboys

86
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: have had or against teams now that are good. I

87
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: mean at the time, Houston was not looking very good

88
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: and neither was the Seattle looking good. Carolina looks really good.

89
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: Why they all turned it around after they played the Cowboys. Yeah,

90
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: still kind of early it is, or it's it's the

91
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: NFL and everybody but about four teams looks mediocre as hell,

92
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: Like that's the Saints, Rams, Uh, Pats and Chiefs all

93
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: look pretty awesome and everybody else. I'm just November is

94
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: gonna tell it all because you got you got the

95
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: Eagles twice I think technical December. Yeah, but that that

96
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: whole stretch there, you have the Redskins coming back on Thanksgiving.

97
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: I mean, all that's going to really determine what, you know,

98
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: what this team does. So, um, you know there'll be

99
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: some swing games, has it? It feels like that at

100
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: Atlanta game again about the same point in the season,

101
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a time where, you know, if the

102
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys are really going to do something like, they have

103
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: to win that one right there, because Atlanta's getting hot

104
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: now hot relatively speaking for their for for what this

105
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: season has been for them. They've had a few wins

106
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: here in a row, and so they're starting to get

107
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: to a point where maybe they're finding their way. And

108
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: this happens every year in the NFL season. There's gonna

109
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: be a team that was around that five hundred mark

110
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: um at week five, weeks six, weeks, week seven that

111
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: gets on a role and will be a player in

112
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs. It's obvious it mains to be seeing who

113
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: that's gonna be, but it was definitely the Cowboys. Mary

114
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: Cooper's here offense is coming on. Let's go maybe get

115
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: on the train. You know one thing that stood up

116
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: to me this weekend as I started kind of I

117
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: watched the rest of the game, I was wondering, if

118
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to that, we're gonna get to that

119
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: fact you want to throw that out there. I mean

120
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: I kind of almost didn't want to bring it up

121
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: because I know on this show, our response to Johnson

122
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: shouldn't have done that. Yeah, go ahead and tell them

123
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: what you think. I think, Jimmy Johnson, because do your

124
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: own thing, coach your own team. You mean, you don't

125
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: need to be standing up there. You're not coaching. Yeah

126
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: you did coach, but you're not coaching anymore. And the

127
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: thing that I didn't like about his comment, it's comment

128
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: about Jason Garrett being at the Dodger game on on

129
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: the BUYE weekend. But but he was like, it doesn't

130
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: He said something like it doesn't really matter to him.

131
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: It just does not a good look. It's not a

132
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: good perception, perception when reality is his Why or should

133
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: he be worrying about perception? I mean if to me,

134
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: it's like if you're an analyst, you're gonna say it,

135
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: then say it, but don't throw it out there like

136
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: a perception because at this point, does Jason Garrett really

137
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: care about what the perception is? Did he care about

138
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: what the perception? Let me ask you, this was he

139
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: saying the perception with this with the general media and public.

140
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: Are you saying the perception to his team? Well? If

141
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: it or is there a different does that matter to

142
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: you that if fish players are over here working out,

143
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: or if fish coaches over here working out. That's fine.

144
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: I think it was ghost town, so if it if

145
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: it was, I'm betting it was a ghost right. I

146
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: know it was a ghost right, So I'm just say,

147
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: you're up here, but yeah, you know it was Actually

148
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: did come up here on Sunday, I for my phone

149
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: charger died. I had to come get my spare. But

150
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: did you see it working out? I was here long enough,

151
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: here long enough to see not a single car in

152
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: the parking lot, you know, before I went back, not one?

153
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: Not one? And nor should it be honest, it's the

154
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: bye week, Yeah, which reason why you get a bye week.

155
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with Jimmy Johnson saying it

156
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: because to a degree, I think he's right. It is

157
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: the perception. I mean, Jason Garrett could have gone to

158
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: that game and sat in the back of a suite

159
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: and no one would have been the wiser. But he

160
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: wanted to sit next to Brad Paisley. He knew he

161
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: was going to wind up on national TV, and to

162
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: his credit, I don't think he cares, nor should he.

163
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: But if you're the head coach of the most visible

164
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: franchise in American sports and they're not doing that well,

165
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: people are gonna have stuff to say about that. That's

166
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: just the nature of the job that comes with the dinner,

167
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: as he always likes to say. But he's never cared

168
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: about that, nor do I think he should. He's paid

169
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: handsomely and I don't have the slightest problem with it.

170
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: It's the bye week, Like, everybody deserves a break from

171
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: their job, no matter how much they're paid to do it.

172
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: Like it's lunacy to think that he should be up

173
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: here diagramming plays on a Friday night. I guarantee you

174
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: he put in long hours before everybody took their break.

175
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: Freaking everyone and their mother took a vacation. I mean,

176
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: every player was out of town. San Jay Law went

177
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: out to the Bay Area to visit his parents. He

178
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: told us that on Thursday before they broke Like, that's

179
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: what you do on the bye week. However, however bad

180
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: you might think he is, that, however bad you might think,

181
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett is at his job, He's well within his

182
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: right to do that during the team's weekend off. It's fine,

183
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: but you sit front row at a World Series game,

184
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: having the job he has, it's gonna draw attention. That's

185
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: just the nature. Yeah, it's just one of the things

186
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: that I've come to really despise about sports. I love sports,

187
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: I love football, but I despise this one thing that

188
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: there's this perception that in sports you have to be

189
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,719
Speaker 1: that sports test to be everything. And I don't think

190
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: that's healthy, number one, But I don't think it's the

191
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: right thing either. I'll give you an example. This last weekend,

192
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 1: my nephew plays college football. One of his teammates, a

193
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: starting wide receiver in New Mexico, missed the game because

194
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 1: his sister was getting married, and people are actually talking

195
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: about it on the air. The people on the air

196
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,599
Speaker 1: talking about and they were talking about how you know

197
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: some people that were like, well, how could he miss

198
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: a game for a wedding? And never never heard of

199
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: that before, And it just kind of stuck out to

200
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: me that that's part of what's wrong a little bit

201
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: with how we viewed sports. Sports is entertainment, Sports is fun.

202
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: Sports is not the end all be all. There are lives,

203
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: and people's lives should trump that to some degree. And

204
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean you you miss practicing games just for

205
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: flip reasons, but in a situation like this where a

206
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: man is off from work, like it is designed to

207
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: get guys away from work, and he went to enjoy

208
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: what for some people would be a once in a

209
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: lifetime type experience. I'm not sure if he's been to

210
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 1: a World Series before, but I would assume for most

211
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: people that's a great experience to have, whether you're a

212
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: coach or not. I think that it's kind of it's

213
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: it's lunacy that people would have a problem with the

214
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: fact that he took his off time to go and

215
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: have an experience like that. Sports is not the end

216
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: all be all, nor should it be, And if we

217
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: know any thing, I mean, there's gonna be some kind

218
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: of team message that comes out of it. You know.

219
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: I thought about our football team sitting maybe a sitting

220
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: right behind the on deck circle at Dodger Stadium, Game three,

221
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: and I thought about us, thought about our team. Yeah,

222
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: I can see that it's gonna come back. It's no

223
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 1: good but work. That's the That's the age old debate, though,

224
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: isn't it. I mean it's this, you know, why do

225
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: people get mad at players for holding out for a

226
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: better contract, Like, oh, you have this amazing opportunity, like

227
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: you're the head coach of the Cowboys. But you make

228
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: five million dollars a year to do this and people

229
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: will kill for your job, so they expect that and

230
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: keep in mind too, uh this, I mean, the whole

231
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: reason this is as popular as it is is because

232
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: it's an escape for the people that watch it, and

233
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 1: a lot of people tie up, to be honest, too

234
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: much of their self worth in how their football teams doing.

235
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 1: So to see that as we do with our college program.

236
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: Oh that, I mean everybody, we do it too. We're

237
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: part of this. We wouldn't be this, We wouldn't be

238
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: doing this job if we didn't feel that way. Right,

239
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: But sometimes you just got to take a step back

240
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: and be like, the Cowboys aren't three and four because

241
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett is taking in a baseball game, right, I

242
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: want to buy to buy way I thought. I got

243
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: a few tweets about it, some you know whatever fans

244
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: had different opinions about it, But one of them was like,

245
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: did you find it ironic at all that he was

246
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: did he was sitting front row at a game that

247
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: was pretty much tied, you know, for seventeen seventeen innings

248
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: or whatever. That's my biggest beef. I don't have a

249
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: by all means, Jason Garrett go to the game. I

250
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 1: didn't like it, but i'd liked it. Yeah you did, um.

251
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: I just I believe he left early, which like, shame

252
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: on you like you, Oh yeah you made that's your

253
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: big pet peeve about sports. Hell yeah, yeah, you made

254
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: the effort to gil you flew across the country the

255
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: longest and one of the most epic baseball games in history,

256
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: and it had to I mean the home He's clearly

257
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: rooting for the Dodgers. He's friends with Tommy Letzorda and

258
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw. They win in a walk off after eighteen innings,

259
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: like you'll never see that again. And I believe he

260
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: left early, which like that already had his T shirt idea,

261
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: like that's all one game he didn't agree to do.

262
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: He was back. It's the bye week, man, you can

263
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,119
Speaker 1: only get into one game. It's Friday night. I guarantee

264
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: you he probably flew private like he shame on you

265
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: stay for the whole thing. Stay, always stay, especially like

266
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: if you already sunk the time and resources you got us,

267
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 1: maybe the wife was ready to go, and why it's

268
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: ready to go then we're leading. Sorry for the Dallas

269
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys dot com alumni Rowan Kavner, who was a Dodgers

270
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: He works for the Dodgers as it does work for

Speaker 1: get yeah, it was Saturday night. You know they they

278
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: won that one, but they were then they're losing to

279
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: go down three one and obviously they lost the series

280
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: last night. And he texts me, and he's a lifelong

281
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: Rangers fan too, so he's like, this is the second

282
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: time I've had to watch a team i'm invested in

283
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: lose back to backworld series. And he's like, what did

284
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: I do to deserve this? Like, I don't know, man,

285
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: that's just the crappy gotta hurts. The crappy hand you

286
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: got delt that's gotta hurt, hurt so bad. All right,

287
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: let's take our first break when we come back. I

288
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: do want to talk a little bit about that Washington

289
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: Redskins run defense. I want to throw out some were

290
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: about this that's where I was going. Okay, but you

291
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: look at some of the names of the running backs

292
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: that they faced this year, and some of the totals

293
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 1: that they've that they've held them too. I think it's

294
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: pretty it's pretty interesting and something worth noting. We'll talk

295

331
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,840

00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: and features. You've got to take it out and put

333
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: it to the test. The Cowboys did when they named

342
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: like your Longhorns didn't get it done on Saturday. I'm sorry.

343
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to rub salt in the wound. But

344
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: I just got to sit back and chill like I

345
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: didn't have to worry about all that. Yeah, it was

346
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: a long weekend. Yeah, very long weekend. But let's talk

347
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: about these Washington Redskins. Obviously, if the Cowboys after losing

348
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: the game that they played to them already. If they're

349
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: going to get back into the mix for the division,

350
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: I think it's a I think it is an absolute

351
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: must that they win on Thanksgiving when Washington comes to town.

352
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: But if you look at how they're playing football and

353
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: how they're winning, one of the things that's most important

354
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: I think for the Redskins is that they are stopping

355
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: the run at a very very very good pace. Like

356
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: right now, they are second in the league and run

357
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: defense only given up eighty point one yards per game

358
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: on the ground. They have not checked this out. Only

359
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: two teams NFL that have this stat They have not

360
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: given up a single run over twenty plus yards, and

361
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: there's only the only other team was I want to say,

362
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: maybe I can't remember, that would make sense. It was

363
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: one other team that hasn't done it as well that

364
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: has no It's Minnesota, That's who it is. It's Minnesota.

365
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: But they've not given up a single run. The longest

366
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: run they've given up is eighteen yards, and have not

367
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: given up a running a running to a running play

368
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: over twenty yards. And obviously that's what the Cowboys do.

369
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: What we've seen from the Cowboys this season When they've

370
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: had success, they're able to run the ball. When they

371
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: don't have success, they're not able to run the ball.

372
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,959
Speaker 1: Listening to some of these numbers, they faced David Johnson

373
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: at thirty four yards, They faced mark Ingram fifty three,

374
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamar twenty four, Cam Newton forty three, Christian McCaffrey twenty,

375
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: Zeke thirty three, Dac thirty three, Sequon Barkley thirty eight.

376
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,239
Speaker 1: So they're doing this across the board. This is not

377
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: just one one time. They're doing this every week. They're

378
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: holding teams that traditionally run the ball well, good runners,

379
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: they're holding them to literally practically nothing on the ground game. Yeah,

380
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 1: that's the stats, the stat that went viral yesterday. Their

381
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: last three games, Carolina Dallas and then New York McCaffrey,

382
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: Zeke and Barkley combined for the less than a hundred

383
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: yards combined, which, hey, you spend you spend first round

384
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: picks I think number thirteen and number eighteen overall on

385
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: these super free, athletic defensive tackles and you got two smart,

386
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: sure handed linebackers behind them. That's what happens. I mean,

387
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: it's playing out the way they wanted it to when

388
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: they made those picks. So thinking about all that, what

389
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: do you think the Cowboys have to do? Is the

390
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: signing of Amari Cooper enough to maybe give them that

391
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: other option because they're gonna, i think, when they play Washington,

392
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: unless they figure out a way to penetrate that defensive

393
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: front that nobody else has figured out yet, they're gonna

394
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: have to throw the ball in order to move the

395
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: ball down the field. Yeah. So do you think that's

396
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: enough bringing in Amari Cooper to be able to do that? Yeah?

397
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: I think I think it is. I mean, they're not

398
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: far from from you know, winning these games and what

399
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: And that's the thing about Washington. As good as their

400
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: defense is playing, their offense isn't really good that good

401
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: where they're gonna pull away from people. This isn't like

402
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: you know, the Saints that they're defense is playing pretty

403
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: well and their offense is playing really well. So they're

404
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: four the six and one or seven and one wherever

405
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: they are right now. You know, same with the Rams.

406
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: You know they're doing it on both ends of Washington

407
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: really isn't so you know, they've their defense is dominating

408
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 1: those games, but I believe they're all one score games

409
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: and they were down to the end, and you know,

410
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: you have a game manager and Alex Smith, and that's

411
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: kind of what he is. Those guys aren't going to

412
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: run away from you. So I think you know you're

413
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: talking about you know, the Cowboys lost twenty to seventeen.

414
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: They give up a defensive touchdown. They need to you know,

415
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: I think Rob Phillips had a stat the other day,

416
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,719
Speaker 1: I mean a touchdown a game. You know, maybe can

417
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper give you a touchdown a game? A touchdown

418
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: a game would change you know, it would change the

419
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: course of your season so far right now. So I

420
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: think that that's kind of where they are. I mean,

421
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: that's asking for a lot from one guy. But I think,

422
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 1: you know, I think they'll be okay. I mean, they're

423
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: not that far off three and four, They're not that

424
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: far off. I'm declining to put that much pressure on

425
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper. I just I need to see it, which

426
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: I mean there's gonna be pressure on regardless they've gave

427
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: up first round pick. I get that. I'm not saying

428
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: I don't have expectations for him, but I need to

429
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: see that to believe it as a baseline. Just starting out.

430
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: We haven't seen him play yet. I just hope and

431
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: think that he is enough of a threat that it

432
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: will open things up for everybody else. I think defenses

433
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: have to be more reluctant to put nine in the

434
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: box and to focus as much as they have on

435
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley, knowing that a guy like Amari Cooper is

436
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: out there and he needs to make the plays to

437
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 1: cement that. I guess, but I think he has that potential,

438
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: and I really think that's going to be the difference.

439
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: Is just that his presence, you would like to think

440
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: will make things easier for everybody else. I actually don't

441
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: think his presence will do that. I think they're gonna

442
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 1: have to convert like they're gonna have to do it,

443
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: because I think teams are gonna say, yeah, we see,

444
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 1: but we're gonna until you show us that you can

445
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: consistently do it. We're gonna still take the option that

446
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: we'll take Zeke out of the game, and if you

447
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: beat us, you beat us. And I think the Cowboys

448
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: are gonna have to beat a few teams throw the

449
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: ball up and really going down filled with it in

450
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 1: order to force teams to realize not only do they

451
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: have the weapon, but that they're actually going to use

452
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: it the right way because I don't think teams trust

453
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: them to do it. You have to do that. I mean,

454
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: Scott Lenahan, Jason Garrett, Dak Prescott, they have to do that.

455
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: They have to throw You're you're right. I mean, you

456
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: can get it blocked, take four steps, go back and

457
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: throw the ball deep. You can't. I mean, nothing stops

458
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: you from doing that. I mean you may not be

459
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: the best look that you want, but you can definitely

460
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: do it. You can do back shoulder things, you can

461
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: do things towards the sideline where you hope that a

462
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: first round pick like Amara Cooper can go up and

463
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: make the play. They have to do that, and if

464
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 1: they don't, then then it's on them. It's on Lenahan,

465
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: it's on DAC because they have provided a weapon that

466
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: can do that and that will help easily, that will

467
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: help a line, that will help Zeke, that will help DAC.

468
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: I mean that's the that's really the only way. So

469
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:49,959
Speaker 1: you're right about that. They have to do it, and

470
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what other way you can

471
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: say it. I feel like we've talked about this a

472
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: few times and I mean, I agree, yes, obviously you

473
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 1: got to take shots down the field. But this goes

474
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: back to a talking point from the Washington game, which

475
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: is they burned him bad on the Michael Gallup double

476
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: move for a touchdown, and the Redskins played off for

477
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: the rest of the game. They're like, we're not gonna

478
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: let you do that anymore because they burned him. Yeah,

479
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: which well, and so I don't think it's realistic. You know,

480
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: Dack's just not gonna suddenly start playing like Matt Stafford

481
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: and just chucking the ball like that's not what he does.

482
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: But Amari Cooper, he damned well better if you trade

483
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: a first round pick be able to just run the

484
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: twelve yard comeback and not let the dB hook his

485
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: arm and catch the ball. And if he's consistently doing that,

486
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: then that's enough. On it really is, and people don't

487
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: use and that's the point. They got to use him, yea.

488
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: You know, they have to use him and force teams

489
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: to realize that he is enough of a weapon that

490
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: they can beat you like that. If he can consistently

491
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: make catches eight to twenty yards down the field, it

492
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: will be enough. I genuinely think that I agree you

493
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: know what's weird is that you think, well, is one

494
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: player enough? Well, the way this team plays, think of it,

495
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 1: I mean the whole touchdown a game, that's a good

496
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: way to look at it. But what about, you know,

497
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: two or three first downs a game? Can this guy

498
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: give you two or three first downs? Because there's a

499
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: lot of times that this team is putting around the

500
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: fifty yard line two or three first downs, and now

501
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: that that's the year down at the thirty, you're kicking

502
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: a field goal. We've seen two games already this year. Word,

503
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: a field goal by the Cowboys would have been a

504
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: difference maker. Even a field goal in Seattle would have

505
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 1: been a difference maker when you're driving there at the end.

506
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: So maybe the case for Carolina too. So you know,

507
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 1: just a few first downs, that's how close this thing is.

508
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: And it's and it's close the other way the Cowboys

509
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: have lost, I mean have won a close game too.

510
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 1: So um, I just I just feel like, yes, if

511
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: you if you simplify things a little bit, I do

512
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: believe that this this guy will help just enough. They

513
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: don't need a lot to kind of win some games here.

514
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: They're right there, their defense is really good, their offensive

515
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 1: solid at home. They need they need to figure out

516
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 1: how they need Yeah, that's another thing, but we don't

517
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: have to worry about about that this week, two more weeks. Yeah,

518
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: they should win this game. I'm surprised the line wasn't

519
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: a little bit more than that for four points. It

520
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: just came out. I guess is it four points? Yeah?

521
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: I mean, whose favorite? Dallas by four. That's which I'm

522
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 1: surprised it's not a little more too. That tells you

523
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 1: something like Vegas does not respect Washington at all. Because

524
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: they were one point underdogs against a sorry New York team.

525
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: I know it was well they underdogs. I thought they were.

526
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: They were favored by one okay either way even there

527
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 1: either way either way. But still like I'm surprised by

528
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 1: that because they've looked really good the last three or

529
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: four weeks. I mean, I know they got shellacked by

530
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 1: the Saints, but that was a month ago. But didn't

531
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: you also kind of think this was a week end

532
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: where if Giants are gonna get that, that that win.

533
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:38,959
Speaker 1: This part of seeing this would be the win they

534
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 1: would get. Not really division teams. I just think division teams.

535
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 1: It's always kind of a crap that it is. That's

536
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 1: how sorry he is. That's how sorry the Giants have been.

537
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: I mean se Quon Barkley or do you realize what

538
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 1: he's doing. He's on pace for two thousand all purpose yards,

539
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: like he's gonna run and through and catch for a

540
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: thousand and it doesn't matter. Like that's how bad they

541
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: are that they can't even make use of that. If

542
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: I was the Giants, I would trade whatever it takes

543
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: man man, not whatever it takes, but I would trade

544
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: maybe a second round pick whatever to to Oakland for

545
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 1: Derek Carr. You're the second or third person i've heard

546
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: suggest that, and I yeah, I'm here for it. I mean,

547
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: give up your up, young versions he's pretty young. You

548
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: needs something, give up a shit and oh I just

549
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: cursed on the are Sorry my bad, I got it's

550
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: I told you I've been thrown for a loop. I've

551
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: been thrown for a loop. Um what Oakland would then

552
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: have four first round picks? Yeah, well, no, said a second,

553
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: not the Giants first. I'm not throwing that. I'm not

554
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: trading their first I mean if if, if, if a

555
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: quarterback is what you need to help fix that thing.

556
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: It's kind of the same logic. As the Cowboys in that.

557
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: I mean, but that's is the guy you're gonna get

558
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: in the draft better than Derek Carr when Derek Carr

559
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: has any but would take that second round pick because

560
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a high second. And I can't believe

561
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: that they would demand a first for Amari Cooper and

562
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: then let their franchise quarterback go for a second round.

563
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:11,959
Speaker 1: And my thing is, if I'm going to give up

564
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 1: that that pick, are there other back I mean, other

565
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: quarterbacks out there that maybe I think are better options

566
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: in the draft. Like no, I'm saying I'm saying that

567
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: are in the Like I might opt for a guy

568
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: like Teddy Bridgewater who you might have to give up

569
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: less he's sitting on someone's bench. Maybe you can get

570
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: that trade for a little less than a second round.

571
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: I can't imagine why the Saints would trade him because

572
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: he's the third quarter but like he's your insurance policy.

573
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I think they love Taysom Hill.

574
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna he only plays every Yeah, snap,

575
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: I just think he's gonna end up being their quarterback.

576
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill is their gadget guy. I get everything. But

577
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: that's just because They can't put him at quarterback right

578
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: now because their quarterback is Drew Brees. If Drew Brees

579
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: gets concussed against the Rams next week and can't play,

580
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: Big Bridgewater, Yeah, absolutely, that's what he's their face. And

581
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: you talked about not having games on Sunday. Um, there's

582
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: gonna be some good ones of what Sunday afternoon? This

583
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: coming Sunday, yeah, or Sunday, right, don't the Saints Ramsay's

584
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Packers pages at night, right, that's a Sunday

585
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: night game, right, that's good stuff. That'll be fun. All right,

586
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna take our final break. We'll come back. We'll

587
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: take some questions to you guys. Give us a call.

588
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: Eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven.

589
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: Again it is eight eight eight eight five five two

590
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: two nine seven. We'll be right back. While a player

591
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: could look good on paper, it's when he's out on

592
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: the field that you really find out what he's made of.

593
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: That's why the Cowboys rely on more than just stats

594
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: and scouting reports when building their team. When picking the tractor,

595
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: it's why you should rely on more than just specs

596
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: and features. You've got to take it out and put

597
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: it to the test the Cowboys did when they named

598
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,720

641
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,480

645
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: whether we'll have shows on Monday. I'm thinking probably not.

646
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: I'll probably get you guys ready over the end of

647
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: this week and then we'll just head right into that

648
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: game Monday. So let's get some calls, you guys, calls

649
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: eight five five two two nine seven. Again it is

650
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven.

651
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: Before we do that, Nick tell us a little about

652
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: Tommy John. Oh, Tommy John, it is the best underwear

653
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: in the world. I think everybody in this room will

654
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: certainly agree. I don't know if they'll agree today, I

655
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: will agree, but every day. Okay, yeah, I can't remember

656
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: this morning, but I think so as well. The reason

657
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: why it's because it's soft, feels good. Yeah, you don't

658
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: even barely even know you're wearing anything. It feels like commando,

659
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: but you know it's not. And I don't know, I

660
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: don't know if you know what that is all about.

661
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: But it is really good, Tommy John. It's the best.

662
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: And they're so confident that you're gonna love it that

663
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: if you think, hey, it's not the best I've ever had,

664
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: you can send it back and then they'll give your

665
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: money back. But I doubt you'll do that, because it

666
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: is the best underwear you'll ever have. It'll be right

667

Speaker 1: at the top of your drawer all the time. Dallas

00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: you have something? No? I thought you about to say something,

672
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: all right, So let's go into some phone calls. We

673
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: got a call from Ken in New Mexico. Ken, what up? Hey,

674
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: it's good to talk to you guys. You know what,

675
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: I haven't talked to the Cowboy Network since I talked

676
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: to Frank Lusk and burnemun Quist way back in the sixties. WHOA,

677
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,719
Speaker 1: I wasn't even alive, Uncle Verne, And that means if

678
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: I wasn't alive, nobody else and this crew was alive walks. No,

679
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: but I was my friends. Hey passed some month in.

680
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: Nate Newton form me real quick. He said the other

681
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: day that Valdez is coming, and he said he was

682
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: talking about that in from Louis Lamar, the writer, but

683
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: it was from Elmore Leonard. Okay, I read like Nate. Okay.

684
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: The other thing that I have is they need to

685
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: run Chris Jones. I've watched the right side of the

686
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: Washington Redskin defense. Every time Chris went into formation, the

687
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: guy on the end came around and left the pass

688
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: straight up the side for Chris Jones to run a

689
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: lot of yards. If they ran in Houston, Cowboys win.

690
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: If Chris ran once in Washington, Cowboys win that game.

691
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: They've got to use Chris Jones's speed or they're wasting him.

692
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: That's all I got. Thank you, my brothers, thank you. Okay, Well,

693
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,239
Speaker 1: I mean it's one of those things where you'll do

694
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: it once a season, and I think that they will

695
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: do it. You've seen it, and you're right, his beat

696
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: is good enough to do that. They're just you just

697
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: kind of find the right time and rights, you know, formation,

698
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: and you know look that you're looking for. I mean,

699
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: it'll happen, but I mean it's not something it happens

700
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: every week. It's not like, oh, they need to Yeah,

701
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: I wouldn't recommend it. So this is not the same

702
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: for you as like uh, fleeflicker, Well you would flee flicker.

703
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: You say it, I'll do that every week because the

704
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: worst case scenario, that means the safety just stays back.

705
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: And I'm okay with the safety standing back regularly. I

706
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: don't think, um, I don't think you're gonna get the

707
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: looks that you want. And I don't think he would

708
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: benefit you to do it, to do it too much.

709
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,239
Speaker 1: I mean, actually he's a pretty good punter too, So

710
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: I mean you don't want to. I mean, that's that's

711
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: the thing. You don't want him taking a lot of

712
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: any hit. Did you see your boy Michael Dixon from

713
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: the You of t at Austin yesterday? Michael Dixon. H Yeah, yeah,

714
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: what do you see what he did yesterday? Yesterday? No,

715
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: he won the game for the Seahawks. Well sort of,

716
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: they were up by fourteen. Now I didn't see it.

717
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: He faked like they got a good look punting out

718
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: of his own end zone. The Seahawks wanted him to

719
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: take a safety, and because they were up by fourteen,

720
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: so you know, we'll kick. We're still up twelve, he

721
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: saw a good look and just took off running out

722
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: of his own end zone. If he doesn't get it,

723
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: the Lions get the ball on like their own four

724
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: with a chance to score, and he picked it up

725
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: and iced the game. Wow, it's pretty amazing. Hey, and

726
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: he freelanced it like he did not get he did

727
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: not have the Greelancing doesn't always work out, as we

728
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: saw last night, right with your boy in Green Bay,

729
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 1: who decides after the coach tells him, don't take the

730
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: ball out of the end zone, we're gonna let our

731
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: million dollar man go out there and win the game

732
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: for us. He decides on his own that he's gonna

733
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 1: just run the ball out was at Montgomery. Yeah and uh,

734
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: and then promptly fumbles and you should have seen the

735
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: look on Aaron Rodgers. Really pretty much everybody on that

736
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 1: teams like, we got Aaron freaking Roger at least saying

737
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers was gonna drive it down and win. Yeah,

738
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: yes I do. Now the question is, can did anybody

739
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: anybody think he wasn't? That's the better question. I mean,

740
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: of course he's gonna drop. He only needed a field goal.

741
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: I could look this up, but I'm just gonna ask,

742
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: did um I know Aikman did the game? Did Joe

743
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 1: Buck do the game? Foot all? No? It was Tony

744
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: Well he was so he was in la world. That's

745
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: what I was wondering, because I didn't notice any difference.

746
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 1: I was like, did it maybe he held? How would

747
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: he do that? Like? Do you think that's possible for

748
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: him to get from one to the other? Seems like

749
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: the count Oh wait, oh no, no, I forgot they

750
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: played No, because yeah, the Dodgers played at seven. No,

751
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: he couldn't have done that. Yeah, I think so. For

752
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: some it's too much of return. If the World Series

753
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: had ended on Saturday night, I wouldn't be surprised, right, Yeah,

754
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: I could see that. But the same same day, like

755
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: back to back out it was Tom Burnaman point. All right,

756
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: let's get another call. We got a call from Derek

Speaker 1: doing a long time listen the first time call up.

759
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: Appreciate Hey, I'm asking about l L team. We supposed

760
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: to be like a power running team. I think we

761
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: need to shake up l offensive line a little bit.

762
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: Maybe put Colins in inside. Well, maybe even Smith Tyland Smith,

763
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: because he's one of our most powerful guys and we

764
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 1: need to inside push. Zeke has nowhere to go, and

765
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: Dak is scared in the pocket. I mean he's jumping now. Well,

766
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 1: what do you guys think? You know, We appreciate the call.

767
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 1: I don't think Tyrn Smith is would ever be a guard.

768
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 1: I think what makes Tyrn Smith so good is is,

769
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: you know, just his athletic ability to play on the edge.

770
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if he would even be a strong,

771
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: powerful guy up front. I don't know that. I mean

772
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: he does everything really well, so maybe, but they're not

773
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: doing it, so they're really not worth it talking about

774
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: that now. I did ask Paul Alexander the other day

775
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: that very question. I go, and this is what fans

776
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,760
Speaker 1: want to know. Why not move Connor Williams outside Lyle

777
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: Collins inside. And his answer was, when you get halfway

778
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: down the road, you're already halfway down the roads. You

779
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: should keep driving, which I hate hate that answer. If

780
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: you get halfway down the road, you're already halfway down

781
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: the road. So why so that does that mean like

782
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 1: you shouldn't worry about adjustments, just stick with what you've

783
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: been doing, even if it's not working. Is that what

784
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: he's trying to say. I think he's that doesn't make sense. Probably.

785
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: I think he's probably saying more about Connor Williams. This

786
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: is this is what they're they're working on making him

787
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 1: a guard, and they've been trying here and he's got

788
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 1: some you know, good moments here and there. Some moments

789
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: he he struggles a little bit with power, which is

790
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: why fan I could see why they say why not

791
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: move him outside? But I think his thought is is

792
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: that we're making him a guard and every time something happens,

793
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: we shouldn't just pull it. And that does affect players

794
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: when when when they keep having this position flex, they

795
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: never really figure it out. I think that's what he's

796
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: saying there. Um and I I mean and look, I

797
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 1: don't think people are crazy for suggesting that. I get it,

798
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: we've seen Lyle play well at guard. The offensive line

799
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: is not playing up the snuff, But I really don't.

800
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the right I don't think that's

801
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: the right call because you're hindering the development of two

802
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: different players. And let's not forget I know it hasn't

803
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: been as good as you would prefer. They're still third

804
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: in the league in rushing offense. Like, I don't think

805
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: that's the problem. Obviously, they missed Travis Frederick. I'm tired

806
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: of making that excuse, but they do. On top of that,

807
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: the passing game is what's hindering the running game, Like

808
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: they thought any part of that is that you're not

809
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: being able to protect right right, Well, they thought they

810
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: would have made more strides. They absolutely did, Like I mean,

811
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: going back to the spring than like it's going to

812
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: be rough in the early going and then it'll come on.

813
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: It hasn't happened, and that's why they made a blockbuster

814
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: trade to try to fix it. But I think I

815
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 1: would rather try to find a way to fix the

816
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 1: passing game and open things up than mix all that

817
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 1: around and hinder Connor's development and my hell's you know,

818
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: I know he's not playing well, but he's not going

819
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: to switching him again. It's not going to do anything either,

820
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: I don't think, And to be quite honest with you,

821
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: I think that if you want to talk about everything,

822
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,479
Speaker 1: and I've been probably the biggest voice on this show

823
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,439
Speaker 1: at least talking about the offensive line and the problem there,

824
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,399
Speaker 1: we haven't talked enough about the offensive line coach. I mean,

825
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 1: I think Paul Alexander deserves a significant amount of whatever

826
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: blame is going to go out because he is a

827
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: new part there, and before that this was an all

828
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: world offensive line. I understand Travis Frederick isn't there, but

829
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: some guys who have in there are not playing to

830
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 1: the level that we've been used to them seeing, and

831
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: so the question should be asked. I think, you know,

832
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: is he a part of the problem here or these

833
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: players really regressing even though they're being coach properly. I

834
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 1: think that's a fair question asking. I do wonder, I

835
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 1: do wonder if if he's a part of this problem here.

836
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: It really do especially troubling when you see that the

837
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: Cincinnati offensive line is playing pretty well, the significantly better

838
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 1: with Frank Pollock, which they did a straight swap. Yeah.

839
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I was Lyle's biggest cheerleader all through the

840
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: second half of last season. I thought he was playing

841
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: great despite you know, what people wanted to say about him,

842
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:56,399
Speaker 1: and it hasn't translated. So two of your I mean,

843
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 1: Tyrn and Lyle both have regressed a lot. I don't

844
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 1: think Connor has been bad by any stretch, but he's

845
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: had his struggles and Zach has gonna Zach. But it's

846
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 1: it's it's been. It's been troubling to watch. And I

847
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: think I said this on the last show last week,

848
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 1: like if there had been a change during the bye week,

849
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: I would have guessed it would have been that, but

850
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: it wasn't, and so you know, we'll see if it

851
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: gets any better in the second half. All right, guys,

852
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 1: we appreciate you joining us. We're back tomorrow. We'll be
