Today's a Reset day. 12 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: We got tons of tons of topics that we're going 13 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: to hit today, and I think Brian has a game 14 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: for us which would be fun. If you heard us 15 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 1: last week, you know these games can get a little interesting. 16 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 1: So we'll see what creative when you do this stuff. 17 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: We'll see when he has lined up for us. Now 18 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: that he's a big radio guy, got to test all 19 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,199 Speaker 1: I gotta test all my stuff out on you guys. 20 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: Let's start first, though, I want to start talking about 21 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: ob Ju exactly. We'll start talking about OBJ. Yesterday Mike 22 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: McCarthy was asked about it. Jerry Jones also asked this 23 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: morning if anything that happened over the last several days 24 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: with regards to uh OBJ and the thing that happened 25 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: at the airport, which I don't really know the details. Obviously, 26 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,839 Speaker 1: he was escorted from a plane but was not arrest 27 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: it was not cited. Um, but if any of that 28 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: had anything, it didn't affect in any way their desire 29 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: to have him on the team. Both were pretty clear 30 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: it did not. My question for you guys, should it? 31 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: I mean, this is what he is. I mean, this 32 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: is he's he's a show. I mean that's that's part 33 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: of it. That's part I mean, now that doesn't and 34 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: all the time, but it wouldn't happen probably to just 35 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: some regular guy. I mean, like he is who he 36 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: is and this is this is part of the show. 37 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: I mean he does extraordinary things. Um, we've all been 38 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: at the airport before in situations like that where you know, 39 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta look at both sides of it. 40 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: I've seen over zealous people on the you know, the 41 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: flight attendant side. I've seen it on the other. So 42 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't really know. I don't know. But 43 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: like I always say, you know, if if you don't 44 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: care about the good stuff, you shouldn't care about the 45 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 1: negative stuff. And if this is considered negative. But but 46 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: I don't think I mean Jerry, I mean, this team 47 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: isn't one to talk. Yeah, I mean they signed guys 48 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: worse than that they've done that, you know, yeah, no doubt. Yeah, 49 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: you know me personally, Uh, you don't know. He might 50 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: be a guy that doesn't like to fly, and so 51 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: you're self medicating yourself to kind of and then you 52 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: guess it wrong, and you guess it wrong, and you're like, 53 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: oh again, guess it wrong. You mean, like the timing, 54 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: timing of it, Like you took something and you're like 55 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: or you're like, you didn't take it soon enough to 56 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,239 Speaker 1: allow it to take its course. And now all of 57 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: a sudden, I know personally, I was on a flight 58 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: to Saudi Arabia in March and I was actually sleeping 59 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: and they buckled my seat belt for me. That I 60 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: was on I was completely laid out, and I had 61 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: a blanket and pillow and and and and I was 62 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: completely lad and they buckled my seat belt for me 63 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: while I was asleep, you know. So to me you 64 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: talked about with no, I was fine because that was 65 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: you know, that was the thing about it is. I mean, 66 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: you know, they're trying to keep you from moving around, 67 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: and you know, and they and they never know obviously 68 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: didn't want to wake you up, allowed you to keep 69 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: sleeping exactly. So that's the thing about it is that 70 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,119 Speaker 1: to me, you know, there's I think just think there's 71 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: a couple of things. Again, we don't know if he's 72 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: a guy that hates to fly. I'm one of those 73 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: guys too. You know. I have to take dramamine when 74 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: I get on a plane, and I don't know if 75 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: it works or not, but psychologically it makes me. It 76 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: calms me down from being anxious. And so, you know, 77 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: and I think to Nick's point, he is he's a 78 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: guy that kind of is always into something. You get 79 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: people these I've talked to several of you know, uh, 80 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: flight attendants toward just whatever you want to. You know, 81 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: they're you know, they're in a difficult job. They're shorthanded. 82 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: You know that people are back to flying, they're not 83 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: being able to people are not hiring enough. I'm not 84 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: trying to make it that, but they're under a lot 85 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: of stress up there too, and sometimes you get to 86 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: the point where any little thing will completely set somebody 87 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,919 Speaker 1: off in that we're in that mode right now in 88 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: this world where those things happen, where you know it's like, hey, 89 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: which is calmed? You know, No, it's just like immediately 90 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: there's like a fight and it gets on someone's video. 91 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: You know, somebody is yelling at somebody, and somebody is 92 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: asking somebody to get off a plane, and somebody is 93 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: yelling back at that person. So we don't know. I mean, 94 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: that's the thing about it is. And Nick's right, this 95 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: team has signed far worse character guys and and and 96 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: gone forward with it. So I don't see this as 97 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: a problem at all. Yeah, nothing that has come out 98 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: indicates to me that it was a big issue. You know, 99 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: there's no TMZ putting out a camera a cell phone 100 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: video footage that someone shot and him yelling at somebody. 101 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: You know, there was no Yeah, it wasn't really an altercation. 102 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: And it's to the point where do you warn someone 103 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: that's kind of going in and out of sleep and 104 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: not being fully responsive to go on and however, long 105 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: fly that was no that's you know, for medical reasons. 106 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: I think you as an airline and as a flight attendant, 107 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: you take actions to that because you don't know what 108 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: could happen in flight. So the whole thing, I don't 109 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: have an issue with it because I haven't seen anything 110 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: completely wrong with it. Unless something else comes out, then 111 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: maybe I know that. When I first saw the headline, 112 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: I don't forgot what I initially saw it, but I 113 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: started reading it didn't it was still the end where 114 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: you started seeing, oh well he was kind of going 115 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: in and out of sleep and stuff. But as I 116 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: saw a Dell Beckham Junior kicked off a plane or what, 117 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, God know what, here we go. But no, 118 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: I think McCarthy and Jerry, I'd right to keep going 119 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: on course, excited to see when is it that he 120 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: comes in for the visitors and next week. That was 121 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: actually gonna be the next question the timeline. Jerry said 122 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 1: this morning on the radio that he was that he 123 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: expects he's already had a conversation with him over the phone. 124 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: He expects him to be have an in person meeting 125 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: on next Monday. He's meeting with the giants this Thursday, 126 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: maybe Thursday Friday. So that's what the timeline looks like 127 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: as far as we know at this point. Yeah, the 128 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: most important thing is the physical, the knee. That's the 129 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: most important thing that's going to determine whether you want 130 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: to go forward with this or is it something you 131 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: can deal with. And now I think it's also going 132 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: to determine how much of the compensation. You know. I 133 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: think it's like, listen, if we if you're interested in 134 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: a long term deal, you're n looks fine, we could 135 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: do this. Your knee, you know, looks like it's a 136 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: little bulky right now, balky, you know. I think that 137 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: to you know, maybe you're in a situation where you know, 138 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: we can't do this or we can't we can't pay you, 139 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: you know, these many millions of dollars, we just can't 140 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: do it. And so I that that's the most It's 141 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: not the visit. I think the visit part of it 142 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: is just really everybody knows who this guy is. I 143 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: think he has an idea who everybody is on this 144 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: side of the fence, and I think it's just now 145 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: up to doctor Cooper and them to determine if they 146 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: if you can work with them long term and I 147 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: was told that this was this. If this happens and 148 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: they start, they're negotiating, and whenever that does happen, that 149 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: they're basically negotiating two contracts at once because they are 150 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: they are looking at CD's deal as well, because they 151 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: know this will trigger that, and so they're having to 152 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: play all the sides of this. Of course, you already 153 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: signed gallup and you have that, but CD is this 154 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: will be his third year completed, which means he can 155 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: a new deal after this year nine. They don't have 156 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: to do anything with that, but I think they are. 157 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna they're looking into that. So that's 158 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: the tricky part here. I mean, the Giants don't have 159 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: that issue. I mean, they don't have a guy that 160 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: they're worried about upsetting and in making the number one. 161 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: He would be probably the number one. Yeah, I believe 162 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: that Giants do have some issues with their cap. Well, 163 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: I mean that that's that that that yeah, No, No, 164 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: it's as far as the players go. No, I mean 165 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: where they are in the cap with your team. Yeah, 166 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: that's why it's interesting to me that the Giants would 167 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: get involved. I mean, they Giants don't have anybody Let's 168 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: be honest. We we've talked. They need help there clearly. 169 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: And the thing about it is, though I think that 170 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 1: you know, the last time I checked, they were pretty 171 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 1: close to pretty tight to the cap. So how they 172 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: make a deal will have to be pretty creative to 173 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,719 Speaker 1: how you know, to get Beckham on. But you know, 174 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: we'll see that. You know, nobody, nobody has had the 175 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: opportunity yet to look at that knee, and you know, 176 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: and we'll see once that doctor Cooper and those guys 177 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: have a chance to look at it, then you'll know 178 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: exactly the direction this team's going. You feel like this 179 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: is kind of getting drawn out, like like by him, 180 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: like like maybe he doesn't feel like he is one 181 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: hundred percent just yet. I think he was driving the 182 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: timetable on this all along, because ultimately, there were teams 183 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: weeks ago, including the Cowboys, that have been saying they're 184 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,359 Speaker 1: very interested and obviously, as Brian's been talking about, the Cowboys, 185 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: training staff is going to need to look at that. 186 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: They never anything happens. It's so to me, it's all 187 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: about his timetable. Yeah, you never. You know, It's funny. 188 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: Jay Glazer came out several weeks ago and was like, 189 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham is ready to go, and then you had 190 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 1: the report basically two days later that Ian Rappaport was 191 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: saying that, you know, no, he's you know, he's gonna wait. 192 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: He's got you know, he's got an idea of how 193 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: he wants to this to proceed. And so yeah, it 194 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: went from being like, Okay, let's go in November to okay, 195 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: let's go in December. You know that. That's how you know, Oh, no, 196 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: he's ready to go. He's been fully cleared. And it's 197 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: been I think three weeks since Jay Glazer said he's 198 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: been fully cleared. You know, nobody, nobody, I could say 199 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: nobody knows he's fully cleared or not until you look 200 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: at that knee. That's the that's that's the that's the 201 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: biggest question right there, because if he if he if 202 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: he doesn't pass it, you know, the Cowboys are going 203 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: to say, now we don't feel like that this knee 204 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: stable enough for him to play this year. I was 205 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: gonna say the what's also interesting, I mean we're about 206 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: to enter the month of December. You got about six 207 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: games left plus however many from the playoffs. So let's 208 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: say next visit. Let's just say, best case scenario, everything 209 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: goes well, somehow the Cowboys managed to negotiate a deal 210 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: that puts him here in Dallas. How much time would 211 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: a guy like him knee is ready to go feed 212 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: our good and all that. Would you like, how much 213 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: time would you have to give him to kind of 214 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: get back into things, you know, he needs to learn 215 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: the team, the offense and all that. Would it be 216 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: about maybe two weeks? So I'm trying to get maybe 217 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: a timeline of like, Okay, when would if it happens, 218 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: would we be seeing him? When did he sign with 219 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: the Rams last year? Do you remember trade? I means 220 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,199 Speaker 1: literally am September Octover. I don't remember, but it was 221 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: kind on light with three or four games, because I 222 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: do remember it was it didn't seem like he really 223 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: got acclimated and really being they started really using him 224 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: in that offense as much until the playoffs. That's when 225 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: it seemed like And maybe it was because I would 226 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: desk when I was really watching their team more. Yeah, 227 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 1: but in the playoffs he certainly made a difference. I 228 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: thought this, this to me seems very much if you 229 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: get this thing done, that maybe Philadelphia would be the 230 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: game you would think about him playing, and then from 231 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,719 Speaker 1: that point on you just gotta go. I mean as 232 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: many you'll have what two more games after that in 233 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: the regular season, right, you'll have Philadelphia, you'll have the Titans, 234 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 1: the Commanders, and then near into the playoffs. So this 235 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: you're this is really you're I think you're buying this one. 236 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: And you know, to potentially beat the you know, I 237 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: think you're gonna have to be of course you're have 238 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: to beat the Eagles. I think you're gonna have to 239 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: win that Titans game too. Yeah, and and so you know, 240 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: all hands on deck for that one. We'll see what 241 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: the Commanders situation is. They might be playing for a 242 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: spot too, So you know, therese are three games, right 243 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: there were playoff you know. The thing with the Titans though, 244 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: they're they're they're moving away with the with that AFC South, 245 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: So maybe it might be a situation we could kind 246 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: of catch him in a bad time for them. But 247 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: I just kind of feel like that you're buying him 248 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: for potentially three games, and any playoff game that you play, well, 249 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 1: we've seen VET step in and give you something like immediately, 250 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 1: even if it's not the six catches four hundred yard 251 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: type game making just big a big catch or two 252 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: big catches in a game. We've seen Sean Jackson do 253 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: that kind of thing where he comes on, signs with 254 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: a team, and then the very next game he goes 255 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,719 Speaker 1: for sixty yards. Like those kind of receivers I think 256 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: could do that. All right, let's let's look at this 257 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: real quick. He got traded. He got traded, he played 258 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,839 Speaker 1: six games with Cleveland, or eight games with Cleveland. He 259 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: got traded. He goes to play with the Rams. The 260 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: first game he is three targets, two catches, eighteen yards. 261 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: The next game at Green Bay, ten targets, five catches, 262 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: eighty one yards and a touchdown. And then the next 263 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: two games touchdown and a touchdown. We're moving. I mean 264 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: his targets when he got there's targets were three ten, five, seven, 265 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: three eight seven five veterans. Guy, No, the tricky part 266 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: is and you're gonna deal with it. So it's not 267 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: like they're not gonna do it, but it is. You know, 268 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 1: for the back end, it's not the easiest thing in 269 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: the world to put a fourth receiver, third fourth receiver 270 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: that doesn't play special teams on the field and figure 271 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: out how he's gonna go into that mean who who 272 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: comes off? I mean, because I mean you take Tilbert 273 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: off and he plays special teams right, So it's just 274 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: you gotta have to figure something out there right now. 275 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: I'll deal with right now, right now, when he if 276 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: he comes onto this team, where's he sit on your 277 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: depth chart? He's my fourth receiver, probably third receiver, I 278 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: mean until he can get going in to probably be 279 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: the third receiver. I would take him and put him 280 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 1: like in Noah Brown's spot, and Noah Brown's now a 281 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: special team's player the here on out. You know, Ah Brown, 282 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: go be personal protector, or go be cover, or go 283 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: do all that stuff like that. Me, this is the thing. 284 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: This is why I want Odell Beckham here for fourth 285 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: and three against the Green Bay Packers. That's why I 286 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: want him here. If I don't care if you target 287 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: him three times, I just want him here for that 288 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: one play. I want him here for that two point 289 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: play that's gonna beat somebody. I want him here because 290 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: I know that son of a gun will go get 291 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: the football and he's a bad ball catcher, is yeah, 292 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: that fourth and three play that haunts me to this 293 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: day in that Green Bay game that they didn't have 294 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: a better play and a better option. You know, the 295 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: option was to try and drag Michael Gallop underneath and 296 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: he was short of the sticks. You know, there was 297 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: no separation there. There was. I mean, give Green Bay 298 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: some credit, but I want him for those one or 299 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: two catches a game where all of a sudden, it's 300 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: first downs. It's first that's another first down. You know 301 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: he's catching the ball, he's maybe down the field, he's 302 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: making a big play, maybe he the route running stuff 303 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: like that. The separation him catching it, getting up the field, 304 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: That's what I want him for. And you know what 305 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: would be a better I know you threw those numbers 306 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: out there. That's good. Those are good numbers. I wonder 307 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: what his first four or five, six whatever games after 308 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: he came back from his first Aco looked like, how 309 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: was he playing there? Because I think that's probably what 310 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: we ought to factor in, is that he's coming off 311 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: this injury. How long will it take him to get 312 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: up to speed to where he's being Odell Beckham that 313 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: we've all seen throughout his career. Because I have no 314 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: doubt if he gets to that old Dallas can definitely 315 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: use him. A lot of teams around the league could 316 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: use him. Question is how long it's gonna take to 317 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: get there? All right, we're gonna take our first break. 318 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: When we come back, we have a few more topics 319 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna hit. We got a game, got a lot 320 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: of stuff to do here in the last I guess 321 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: that'll be last thirty minutes. We'll be back, Dallas Cowboys 322 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: dot com Radio. Todd thought it would be secure to 323 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: jog in the cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big cat 324 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: repellent he bought online was reliable, and now Todd is 325 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: trying to be faster than this cheetah that can run 326 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: eighty miles per hour. But the good news is Todd 327 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: has AT and T five G. It is fast, reliable, 328 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: and secure, and he learned the best thing to do 329 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: is stop running and toss her the backpack with the 330 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: beef stew At and T five G.

It 369 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 1: is the second segment of The Break live from the 370 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 1: s WBC Mortgage studios at the Star. Let's talk about 371 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: Damon Clark. This last game he had seven tackles. He 372 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:47,360 Speaker 1: had he was second behind Layton vander Est and tackles 373 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: for the game. He had one forced fumble. Mike McCarthy 374 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 1: When asked about him yesterday, he says he's just been 375 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: a stud. The way he attacked it, he's got very brightly, 376 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 1: He's a very bright light, that young man. I think 377 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 1: we're seeing the beginning of an outstanding career. My question 378 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: for you guys is, based on what you guys have 379 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: seen from him, do you think he's looking more comfortable 380 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: and comfortable enough where whenever Anthony Barr is healthy, he 381 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: keeps the job. Maybe I've totally forgot about Anthony Barr. 382 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: So yeah, maybe, so I don't think maybe you forget 383 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: about him that fast. Well, I mean, yeah, I guess so. 384 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: I mean, but I mean he has Anthony barrs has 385 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 1: been okay. You know, he hasn't been a four time 386 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: pro bowler guy. I mean, he's just been It's been okay. 387 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 1: There's been some good games, there's been some okay games, 388 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 1: and that's kind of what Clark has done. But Clark's 389 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: the guy that is his like fourth game. Yeah. Yeah, 390 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: you're in a situation right now where Clark is your 391 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 1: future and Anthony Barr's not the problem is you deal 392 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: with coaches that like to play with what they know 393 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 1: and they understand, you know, George edwards linebackers. Coach knows 394 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: Anthony Barr, he knows what Anthony Barr can do. I 395 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: think Anthony Barr has been kind of a fifty fifty player, 396 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: you know, but I think there's been some times too 397 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 1: where Clark has been as well. And and the difference 398 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: really is, there's one guy that has a lot of 399 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: experiences and one guy that doesn't have very much experience. 400 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: There's one guy it's very very capable of of of 401 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: you know, like coach was talking about being a rising player. 402 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 1: But you're in a situation too with these coaches tend 403 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: to when the games get tough and they want experience 404 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: out there, especially, they don't want mistakes. And not that 405 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: Clark makes a bunch of mistakes, but they will. There's 406 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: a reason why coaches do this. And Tyler Smith has 407 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: been playing we think well at left tackle. Right, they're 408 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: about to put Tyrant Smith back at left tackle and 409 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: move move a guy that's been playing pretty well. That 410 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: that's coaches. That's what coaches do. They they want the 411 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: guy that they know that when when when things start 412 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: getting a little messy, that they'll be there and they'll 413 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 1: fight their way through it. And you know, the inexperienced 414 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: guy will he can learn, but not this year. He's 415 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: not going to learn this year. You know. That's where 416 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: I think they're at with with Clark and also with Barr. 417 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,679 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I think he's progressive lead getting 418 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: better and better each time, and you can see it naturally, 419 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 1: you're going to get more and more comfortable. The only 420 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: time that I feel that I would maybe give him 421 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: just let him be out there full time, or vice versa, 422 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 1: like maybe take him out and put bar in is 423 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,679 Speaker 1: in a scenario where who are the starters around him. 424 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: Let's say someone gets hurt or whatever. In that instance, 425 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: I would keep the veteran guy in versus having the 426 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 1: moan just being out there. So to me personally, right now, 427 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: the way I see it, his amount of time playing 428 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 1: on the field depends on whoever else is around him 429 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: as far as the experience goes. Yeah, they need to 430 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: figure it out because that player allows Parsons to do 431 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: other things. So you don't want somebody that's slacking there. 432 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,400 Speaker 1: You want somebody that will make seven tackles. We'll play 433 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: in pass coverage and things like that, so that allows 434 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: Parsons to do other things. So they don't have to 435 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: play him as an off ball linebacker. I talked to 436 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: Stephen yesterday. You know you always say, well they stole 437 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: one there in the draft, Stephen Jones. Stephen Jones, and 438 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: he said in the when they watched the games, you know, 439 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: in the owner's box or whatever, and demon makes a play, 440 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 1: he said that he always has this big smile and 441 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: Jerry kind of gives him a little bit of a nudge, 442 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 1: like there's a their guy, you know, because somebody and 443 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if it was Stephen or Jerry, who 444 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: don't know who want to scout, maybe that was like 445 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: he can play, and he will be healthy at some 446 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 1: point sooner than you think, and he's gonna really help us. 447 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: This makes sense, and so they're like, yes, let's do it. 448 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: So every time he makes a play, they kind of 449 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 1: like nudge at each other like, well, this is making 450 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: a play. You know. Yeah. This was the situation because 451 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 1: they're the ones at the combine that found his injury 452 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 1: to begin with, and so they're like, listen, you've got 453 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 1: this problem. So they had they had a pretty good 454 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: idea of what It's kind of like the same thing 455 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: with Jalen Smith. You know, they had the idea, and 456 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: doctor Cooper did the surgery on al Smith, so they 457 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: had a good idea of how quickly a guy could 458 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 1: recover and be ready to play. Yeah, that that. I 459 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: look at him, and I look at this last game, 460 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: and in my opinion, it's probably the best game he's played. Here. 461 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: A cowboy played this, which makes That's the reason why 462 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: I'm most excited is because it seems like over the 463 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: weeks he's getting better and better and better. He's feeling 464 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 1: more comfortable, right, and if you get to a point 465 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,479 Speaker 1: where right now, I think last week he did a 466 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: lot of the basic things really well. I'm waiting for 467 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: that moment where he starts to make those big splash 468 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: plays because I think that's coming as well. I think 469 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,360 Speaker 1: it's once he feels very comfortable, then his athlete then 470 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: his athleticism. No yeah, no, no, no, that's just that's 471 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 1: exactly what I'm saying. But I think that's when his 472 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: athleticism takes over, and that's when he will get loose 473 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: and he will make plays that some people just can't make. 474 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: He will make those kind of plays and make you say, wow, Right, 475 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: I think that's coming college, Yeah, I think that's coming. 476 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: And that's why I'm getting excited, because he's starting to 477 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: get to the point now where he's doing the base 478 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 1: things really well. And if that last game was any indication, 479 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: all right, let's go ahead and take our final break, 480 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 1: and when we come back from that break, Brian has 481 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: a game for us. We'll see what this game is 482 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,439 Speaker 1: and see how fun it is, and if we can 483 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: answer any of these questions, we'll be back.

Nicky Yo's play to advance in the playoffs, 530 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: you have to beat Tampa Bay, San Francisco and Philadelphia. 531 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 1: Put them in order. How you think you have your 532 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: chances against them? What teams again? Tampa Bay, San Francisco, Philadelphia, 533 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, Philadelphia, San Francisco. I think that would be 534 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 1: the order. And the only reason I say that no 535 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: disrespect to what the Eagles are doing. They're gonna be 536 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: They're gonna be tough as hell. But I do think 537 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: the matchup of what you know them, you're playing them 538 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: Cooper Rush had them rolland don't throw it to them. 539 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 1: I think they can beat them. I think there are 540 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 1: going to beat them again. San Francisco, though, that's a 541 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: beast that you're gonna have to you know, and not 542 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: only that, you have to play him in the playoffs. 543 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 1: That you got to see the catch. You gotta see 544 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,959 Speaker 1: last year. You gotta see the dat getting hit by 545 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: the raff. You know, all that kind of stuff. You 546 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,360 Speaker 1: gotta see it all and where you live it all 547 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: and all that, and I think that's just gonna be 548 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: a challenge. But um, you know, but I will say, 549 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 1: I'll let y'all weigh in on this. I mean, it's 550 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,400 Speaker 1: also about places to play. Yeah, your offense can function 551 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: fine in Tampa. It's gonna rain a little bit, but 552 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 1: it'll sop at four o'clock and then you'll play I 553 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: mean San Francisco. I think it'll be fine and then, 554 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: but that's gonna be a challenge. So what did I say, 555 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay, Philly, San Francisco. You're talking yourself 556 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 1: out of your own answer. Just Tampa Philly, San Francisco. 557 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,719 Speaker 1: I actually agree completely with that. I think that the 558 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: the what I saw last year from San Francisco when 559 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 1: they played the Cowboys, that has none of that has changed. 560 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: The Cowboys still have a hard time stopping power run offenses, 561 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: and they are even more powerful now with Christian McCaffrey there. 562 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: I think that's going to be as much of a 563 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: challenge as any other team in the NFAC San Francisco 564 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: will be for the Cowboys. I don't worry so much 565 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,880 Speaker 1: about whether they'll nick on that point, just because this team, 566 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, are constructed to play in any weather situation. 567 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: They run the ball pretty well, and and that they 568 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: just I mean, that's how they that's how they win games, 569 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: and so I don't think they're they have to have 570 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: this open passing game like last year. I think they 571 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: were more reliant on the past. Think they do They 572 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: think they do? Yeah, they think they do. They go 573 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: to lambeau Field, they gonna throw. I mean, Ryanan Rodgers 574 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: is running in a hundred times. But they got to throw. 575 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: If you get into a situation where where you cannot 576 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: if the if the weather says you cannot throw today, 577 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys still would be effective. Amber you 578 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: got an idea, would you how would you rank Tampa, 579 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: San Francisco, Philadelphia as far as having to beat to 580 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: get through the playoffs, having to be you know, beat 581 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 1: in Philly? Would that's just a big win, you know, 582 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: and playoff time. But I would say I agree with 583 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: those orders too. And it's interesting because it got me 584 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: to think when you mentioned the place they would be 585 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: playing and the weather and all that, it got me thinking, 586 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: am I, okay, what's really a scenario that the Cowboys 587 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: do not play well in? What would you say? Like 588 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: they're usually like you said, they kind of play about 589 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: the same in every place. And there are other teams 590 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: that you can say, oh, in this type of not 591 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: even weather in place, but also the time of the 592 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: day that they don't play well and all that. So 593 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: I don't think they're affected that much in that way. 594 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: But I don't know they're They're all kind of the 595 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: same honestly to me. And yeah, nobody I don't think 596 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: wants to play Tom Brady in a playoff game. I 597 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: think that would be terrifying to me again anymore. You know, 598 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: you might be right. It's just that you look at history. Yeah, 599 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: and I actually I was as Ambel was talking, I 600 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: was like, I wish I could go back and change mind, 601 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: because I would actually put Philly Tampa. Then, you know what, 602 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: I very much thought that. I thought Philadelphia, Tampa and 603 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 1: San Francisco. I want nothing to do with San Francisco, Yeah, 604 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: I really don't. They don't let you run the ball. 605 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: They play really good past defense, and their and their quarterback, 606 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: their quarterback doesn't have to throw a touchdown pass and 607 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: they win games. That's scary to me. So I would Philadelphia. 608 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: It seems like the team you know what, you play him, 609 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: you know them, You had a chance to beat him 610 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 1: with a backup quarterback. We'll see what happens on Christmas Eve. 611 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: But man, I think Dallas would match up pretty well 612 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: against them, and Tampa can take away which you do best. 613 00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: Like Tampa's run defense is really good. I think that's 614 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: the reason why Dallas didn't. They look so poor. They're 615 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,479 Speaker 1: in their first game of the season. They just couldn't 616 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 1: run the ball. YEP. I just think that if the 617 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 1: Cowboys do become this consistent team and we get the 618 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: best version of them, which to me would be I'm 619 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: not saying it's gonna replicate the same, but let's say 620 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: kind of how they did in Minnesota. If they do that, 621 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: I think they can take down anything. And I'm saying, 622 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 1: you know, again, I'm not saying everything's gonna be perfect 623 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,719 Speaker 1: in all three phases of the game or anything like that, 624 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 1: but if you got something close, I definitely think they 625 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 1: can beat down either any of those three. Is that 626 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 1: Minnesota doesn't pose the same challenges and them, Nick, you 627 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 1: talked about it yesterday. It's about the matchups. Minnesota doesn't 628 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: pose the same challenges to the Cowboys that Tampa, San Francisco, 629 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: and Philly do. All three of those teams pretty good 630 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: at stopping the run, and they're defensively gonna let you 631 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,719 Speaker 1: score a lot, and then you got to match up 632 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 1: with what they're gonna do offensively. So I just think 633 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: Minnesota is just a different beast. If Minnesota even played 634 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: the Cowboys different, I think they could create more problems 635 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: with the Cowboys. They just decided they want to pass. 636 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: If Minnesota running the ball in Francisco is the big 637 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: the toughest matchup because their defense is really tough, their 638 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: offense is very physical in their quarterbacks. Say what you 639 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: want about him, he's played in a super Bowl before. 640 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 1: When he wins games because like what you said, it's 641 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: not about stats. He doesn't care about all that. He 642 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 1: just goes out and functions. Yeah and bar. In the 643 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: month of December, it will be up to the offense 644 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: to carry this team. Uh yes, damn hold on, Uh 645 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: that's a that's a tough one, but I would say 646 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: yes because we've seen it way too many times where 647 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 1: and specific especially this season, where the defense does do enough, 648 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: but then he comes down to the offense not being 649 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 1: able to score enough points for you. So I think 650 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 1: that whatever this area, even if it's against a team 651 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: that can run the ball pretty well and the defense 652 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: struggles in that aspect, I still think they can do 653 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 1: enough to hold the opposing team down or close enough 654 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,959 Speaker 1: for the offense to be able to catch up and 655 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: beat them. So I think it all comes down to 656 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: what the offense is doing and being able to generate points. Derek, 657 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: does this offense carry you in December? Nope? I still 658 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 1: think defense is the best thing that you do. And 659 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: if they're going to have any success this year, it's 660 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: going to be because the defense plays out of their 661 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: mind and the offense supports that. I think there will 662 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: be games where maybe you need a little bit more 663 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: support from the offense, But if the defense falls apart, 664 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: I don't think they have a chance. Like look at 665 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: the games they've lost this year. Those games typically the 666 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: defense didn't play their best game. So I think it's 667 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 1: about the defense. Yeah, I want to use your line 668 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 1: against you, mark being on your scantron. Yeah, I think right. Um, 669 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: I agree with you, Derek, because those games, like you said, 670 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: those the games that you lost, you know, Green Bay, 671 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, the last two teams that beat the Cowboys, 672 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: they've really neutralized Michael Parsons. They figured out how to 673 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: get him away from what he does best, and and 674 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:12,839 Speaker 1: that's I think that's the key, and then everything kind 675 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 1: of falls from there. So I mean, offense, offense is 676 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 1: gonna have to play. The offense is gonna have to 677 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,799 Speaker 1: do its thing. But yeah, if the defense struggles, I 678 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 1: just think that that's what their their bread and butter 679 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 1: is right now, it's defense, Derek, Which would you which 680 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 1: let me see here, which move. Would you like the 681 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,760 Speaker 1: best adding Tyrn Smith or Odell Beckham to the lineup? 682 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham And it's more about replacement value, And what 683 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,320 Speaker 1: I mean by that is, I think you will get 684 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,800 Speaker 1: more by having, as you said earlier, having Odell replaced 685 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: Noah Brown than having Tyrn Smith's replaced Tyler Smith. I 686 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,720 Speaker 1: think Tyler Smith. I agree that at his best, Tyron 687 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: Smith is better than Tyler Smith. I don't know that 688 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 1: the difference, based on what I saw this summer and 689 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,360 Speaker 1: what I project Tyran to be at this point, I 690 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,799 Speaker 1: don't know if that difference is bit as big as 691 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 1: what Odell Beckham to Noah Brown would be. Han Bar, 692 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: would you rather have Tyran Smith or Odell Beckham in 693 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: the lineup? I just don't think you've really missed And 694 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 1: he's saying this, but it's true to me. I don't 695 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,319 Speaker 1: think you've really missed Tyrant Smith in the lineup. I 696 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 1: think they've managed to play games very well. But on 697 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:31,280 Speaker 1: the other side, if had they had a better wide receiver, 698 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,800 Speaker 1: I think they would have worn some of those games 699 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,839 Speaker 1: that they lost. So right now, the value at wide 700 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 1: receiver and the need for it, it's a lot higher 701 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 1: than tackle. Have you ever seen me order at a menu? 702 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,360 Speaker 1: I mean in the steak I'm just like, where's the 703 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 1: combo pladder? I want both? I mean, I think I 704 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 1: can get both there. But I agree with your assessment 705 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 1: there about about Tyring versus Tyler and O'Dell versus Noah 706 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,320 Speaker 1: Brown or Turpin or Tolbird or whatever. But I'm sorry, 707 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 1: I'm greedy, and I mean I've never seen an NFC 708 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 1: Championship game of life, so I'd like just both, please, 709 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 1: you know, I'll throw this was a young man, we 710 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 1: did that. Yeah, I'll throw this into I think Odell 711 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: Beckham Junior will help this running game. The running game 712 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,760 Speaker 1: is already good, but having him on the field, defense 713 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 1: is going to have to respect him and his abilities. 714 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,240 Speaker 1: So when you put him out there with Ceedee Lamb 715 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 1: and Michael Gallop and and whatever tight Ends whatever other guys, 716 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,800 Speaker 1: you got to skill positions. Now, if teams are gonna say, hey, 717 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: we really really have to keep that that guy back 718 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:42,799 Speaker 1: a little bit to make sure we don't get beat, 719 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 1: I think that helps the run game even more. Running 720 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,080 Speaker 1: game is already playing really well. You're not wrong with that, 721 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 1: But also, just to be fair, I do think Tyrn 722 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,799 Speaker 1: Smith is going to help your left guard whoever that is. 723 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:55,919 Speaker 1: It's gonna help your tight ends not have to chip 724 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: every time, it's gonna help your quarterback. So I do 725 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 1: think a better left tackle will also help some other 726 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 1: guys around it. That's a great question because they're both 727 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 1: going to help other people, and they both and they 728 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: both have enough name recognition for defenses to have to 729 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 1: respect that. Yep, that's true. My final one for you guys, Nick, 730 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 1: do you worry about Brett Maher missing that last field goal? God? Oh, 731 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 1: then the game? Yeah, I didn't see it, so it 732 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: didn't happen. We're down waiting. We're trying to move out 733 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 1: down to the field. Yeah. I mean, I mean for 734 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 1: a guy that picked thirty one nineteen, I mean, if 735 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,319 Speaker 1: he would have made that, that would have been kind 736 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,000 Speaker 1: of nice. I was kind of happy if my sixteen 737 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: was looking good. You have the best ones. If you 738 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: guys haven't seen what we put on the website now, 739 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,760 Speaker 1: I mean pod picks. Everybody in the podcast has their picks, 740 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 1: and it's it's pretty good. We're probably not going to 741 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 1: see another team's helmet flash up there for a while 742 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,520 Speaker 1: because these next three weeks yeah, Dallas needs to win, 743 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 1: should win. No not, I don't really, I don't worry 744 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 1: about it. He's had enough room for that. He's I mean, 745 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 1: that's the kind of kick he is with forty five 746 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,399 Speaker 1: yard right, I mean, yeah, you want them to make 747 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,359 Speaker 1: all of them. But man, he's been so good. It's 748 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 1: too early to worry about that. I think. And bar, Yeah, 749 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,279 Speaker 1: by that point, you were ready to go to the 750 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 1: locker room, you were ready to go home and your 751 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving meal. No, the game was won by Dan. He's 752 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:22,440 Speaker 1: done so much greatness to this point. I think, huh, Dan, 753 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 1: I thought I thought she said Dan? Or say then 754 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,439 Speaker 1: by then? I say, did you say Dan? I thought 755 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 1: you were going back to your Dan Bailey days. No. 756 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 1: I took his poster off a while back. Now it 757 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: Slee is there, but no, no, no, I just think again, 758 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,759 Speaker 1: he's done such such an amazing job for a guy 759 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,640 Speaker 1: that was on the team, was not on the team. 760 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 1: Then they bring him back and you're like, what the 761 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,440 Speaker 1: heck is going on? He was already here, we already 762 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 1: saw him. Why are we bringing a guy that we 763 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:56,719 Speaker 1: already know didn't work Kyle? So he's done really, really 764 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 1: good and for him to miss that. I'm not I'm 765 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 1: not concerned at all. There not even a little bit 766 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:07,920 Speaker 1: that he's been so good this year. Susie hit, Yeah, 767 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:10,120 Speaker 1: I missed. That's one thing I like about him. I 768 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 1: think he's just mentally tough for all the he's here, 769 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 1: he's not here, and to come back and do what 770 00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: he's doing right now. That tells me a lot about 771 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 1: his mental makeup him concerned. And tell the story about 772 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:20,759 Speaker 1: Chris Beam, our producer, and he comes up to me 773 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: in Minnesota, and you know, we're down there ready to 774 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,520 Speaker 1: do a pregame show and he comes up to me 775 00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,040 Speaker 1: and he goes, he just I think it was like 776 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,359 Speaker 1: fifty yard or and it was it was so far 777 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 1: to the right it missed the net. He was like, 778 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 1: oh my god, it was terrible kicking. I was, you know, okay, well, 779 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,120 Speaker 1: well see, and then I saw some other ones that 780 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 1: he made it, you know, but you just saw that. 781 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,360 Speaker 1: So every time he kicked it in Minnesota, I was thinking, 782 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,920 Speaker 1: what Chris said, it was like that one bad miss. Well, 783 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 1: he has like the greatest game in the history of games. 784 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 1: You know, it's a sixty yard or twice the fifties 785 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 1: and all that. So yeah, I mean maybe to your point, 786 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,279 Speaker 1: like when it didn't really matter, it's not just lay 787 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:56,719 Speaker 1: in the game, let's get out of here. But when 788 00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:58,680 Speaker 1: I mean when the money kicks, I mean he's he's 789 00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,560 Speaker 1: made him. Yeah, he definite answer. Thank you, guys, appreciate that. 790 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,480 Speaker 1: How's a good game, good good questions? All right, we 791 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 1: appreciate you, guys.
