Welcome to another edition of The Break, 9 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,279 Speaker 1: live from the s WBC Mortgage studios at the Star. 10 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: We appreciate you guys joining us today. We're ready to 11 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: talk to some Cowboys football with you for the next hour. 12 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: Dave has his assessment of the Philadelphia Eagle offense that'll 13 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: be coming up here in just a little while. Before 14 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: we get to that, though, I want to talk a 15 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: little bit about Connor Williams and the offensive line. Find 16 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: out yesterday the Connor Williams has a knee injury. It 17 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: sounds like there's a possibility he could need a scope. 18 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: Was that updated at all? He's getting the scope. He 19 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: is getting the scope, so he is going to have 20 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: to have authroscopic surgery on his knee. How long does 21 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: that mean he's out? What are we looking at here? 22 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: That's the conversation that we had about Randy Gregory with 23 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: like you said, it's not surgery. That's what you said 24 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. So I don't know they're going 25 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: at Jason Garrett said he thinks it's going to be 26 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: short term. That's crazy to me. I mean, I thought 27 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: Randy was a short term. Well they still they still 28 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: you're right, but short term as a meaning he doesn't 29 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: need to go on I r M. I think they're 30 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,199 Speaker 1: hopeful he can be back in two to three weeks. 31 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: They'll have to wait and see. Randy Gregory's not back 32 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: and he had his the week heading into the bye. 33 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: So yesterday you were talking about and maybe stepping in 34 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: and there you go. It sounds like it's going to 35 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: be a competition this week between Xavier Suaphilo and Adam Redmond. Okay, 36 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: so let me ask you this there. In my opinion, 37 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: there are kind of three scenarios that you can go 38 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: with this. And I like to always do this when 39 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: we ask these kinds of questions. I want you to 40 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: first tell me what you think the Cowboys are going 41 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: to do and then I want you to tell me 42 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: if you think that's the right thing to do. What 43 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: they're gonna do is next man up. They're gonna say, well, 44 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: you practice here and you'll probably be a next man up. 45 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: This guy. I mean, I would imagine it's something like that, 46 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: Sue a Philo or Redman, because you've been playing guard 47 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: and why I moved two spots to play guard. But 48 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: the reason why I think you do move two spots 49 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: because Fletcher Cox is sitting over there and he's pretty 50 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: good and somebody needs to be able to block him. Okay, 51 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 1: he is playing, right, So he's playing and he's really 52 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: really really good. He is really good, and okay, so 53 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: there are there are a couple of different options here. 54 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 1: I think the first option you mentioned you got sue 55 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: a Philo. You can just throw him in, right. I 56 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: want to well, I want to hear Nick's opinion, like, 57 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: what do you think they should do? I think they 58 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: should put Lyle Collins over there to play guard because 59 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: I don't think Lyle's playing very well at tackle and 60 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: I think and you guys talked about it on the 61 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: show the other night. Brian said it on The Happy Hour, 62 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: which was not happy It wasn't a happy hour at all. 63 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: But it's the same approach that the Saints have always 64 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: done with. Get the guards set and let Drew Brees 65 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: get the middle in the center take care of that, 66 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: and that's where the pocket collapses. And I think maybe 67 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 1: they do need a little bit more beef inside, so 68 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: healthy knees or not for Connor Williams, I think I 69 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: think they need to consider having somebody better on the inside. 70 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: So I like, this is a good opportunity for me 71 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: to go, Lyle call its inside. Okay, So so that 72 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: would be one option, Lyle Collins inside and you put 73 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: camera Fleming, I would assume at right tackle sure, all right. 74 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: The other option would be you just plug in Xavier 75 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: to a Philo. The other option could be used plug 76 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: in Adam Redman or the other option, this is the 77 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: fourth option you could take Joe Looney, move him over 78 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: to guard, put Adam Adam Redman in as your center. 79 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: So all those being considered, Nick, you say you'd rather 80 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: see Lyle move in and put camera Fleming out there. Dave, 81 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: which way would you go? I think? And to be fair, 82 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys are going to consider or all 83 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: of that. Jason Garrett kind of hinted at that. I 84 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: think obviously they would prefer that one of these two 85 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: guys can just step into the guard spot and play 86 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: well enough that it's not a big deal. But I mean, 87 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: if it looks atrocious in practice, I don't think that 88 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: they're opposed to moving Looney. And if it really looks atrocious, 89 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: I think they could consider putting Lyle. But I would 90 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: guess with three options, like moving Lyle feels like a 91 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: break glass in case of emergency type of thing, and 92 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: I'd be kind of surprised if it got to that point. 93 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: So I assume that it'll be Redmond or Suaphilo. That's 94 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: my guess. What do you think is the right way? 95 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: Probably that I hear what Nick saying, But is Lyle 96 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: Collins just gonna step into the guard for the first 97 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: time in a year and a half, no, like two 98 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: plus years, because he didn't even play in twenty sixteen 99 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: because of his injury. He literally he hasn't played left 100 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 1: guard since the twenty fifteen season. You're gonna ask him 101 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: to do that on the fly and play against a 102 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,559 Speaker 1: guy like Fletcher Cox. Yeah, and when you have guys 103 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: the other options, especially when you have guys that are 104 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: able to play at that position or have played at 105 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: that position before. You you have the ability to do that, 106 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: even though, yes, some things don't go as planned and 107 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: something's just happening out of nowhere. But I think that 108 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: when the opportunity presents itself in a scenario like this, 109 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: why not go for it? And then Jason Garry kind 110 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: of say something about then having some talks about it, 111 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: that that we're going to discuss it. It sound like 112 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: he did, but it also sounds like it was kind 113 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: of a as Dave said, kind of they don't want 114 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: to ask in case of murder, They don't really want 115 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: to say that. They think of him as a tackle. 116 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: That's what those are the words that he thought of 117 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: him as a guard for like two years. Of course 118 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: he's gonna say that because he's a tackle now and 119 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: they may not move, so of course he's gonna a 120 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 1: bid abide. Is that the right word? A word? Yeah? Wow, 121 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: geez it works all right, It's gonna bide to that. 122 00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: There you go. Yeah. I mean, football teams always think like, well, 123 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: we see him as a guard, but then when they 124 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: change their mind, they see him as a tackle, and 125 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 1: we're the dumb ones for questioning it, like that's the 126 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: way that works. So, Alaron Jones was definitely a safe. 127 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: Iron Jones is safety, and well now we see him 128 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: as a corner, and you were dumb. You were dumb 129 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: until we agreed with you, and now it makes sense. 130 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: Um point. But I I don't know. I don't. Lyle 131 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: Collins hasn't he has not had a good season, and 132 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: so is shifting. Is he gonna play better at guard 133 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: magically after two years off? And I y'all already both 134 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: y'all already both said yes, So clearly I know how 135 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: you feel. Um, I don't. I don't know. I don't think. 136 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: I don't really, I don't think I buy it. I 137 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: don't think he's going to play like like at an 138 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: all pro level or even at a at a really 139 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: really good level. But I do think that when when 140 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: I look at my options and think, okay, Cameron Fleming 141 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: started in the Super Bowl, played against the Eagles, I'd 142 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: be the reason they let him go. But I don't know. 143 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: I don't know exactly how he played in that game. Game. 144 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: I know that the Brady was running for his life, 145 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: but I do you know he started that game? He 146 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: faced the Eagles. I like him out there to tackle. 147 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: I like Lyle. I like that better than I think 148 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: there there's I don't think you're wrong. Like I don't 149 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: think they're gonna do it though, which is maybe why 150 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: I'm not following you there. But I don't. I don't 151 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: think you're wrong. Yeah. Um, I hate the fourth option. 152 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: I hate that one because that's that's a two persona 153 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: that's moving two spots. And well, you're talking about moving 154 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: two spots, all right, I know, let me finish. That's 155 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: moving two spots and it includes Adam Redman and Looney 156 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: in the middle with Fletcher Cox there. I hate that. 157 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: I like you're saying you don't want two new spots 158 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: in the middle. I don't. I don't want two new spots. 159 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: If if it's two guys that are that are playing 160 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: that are that are really inexperience, then I think Lyle 161 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: Collins and Cameron Fleming have more experience that I know 162 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: they have more experience playing those positions than Looney and Redman. 163 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,559 Speaker 1: I'm really not trying to put Redman on the field. 164 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: I will say this, it's if especially how it's been 165 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: the offensive line right now, Yeah, it's been a mess. 166 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: If that happens, then it will then you will have 167 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: been very right in the sense of I really think 168 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: if Redmond or Stu a Philo even looks like competent, 169 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: I think that's what they'll roll with. And so if 170 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: they do something like move ly l it's because those 171 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: guys are horrendous and like, how horrendous can you even 172 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: be in a non contact practice? You know, so they 173 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: would have to really be bad for them to be 174 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 1: that non contact because David Irving's getting carted off through 175 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: you know, it's high ankle. Again. That's the problem being conservative. 176 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: That's the problem that they've had so far. Yes, yes, you, 177 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: I mean you're fighting for your job right now, you're 178 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: fighting for your life pretty much, because yeah, it is 179 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: what it is. But it's like, why be conservative? So 180 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: if I'm the cowboys and that's my first thought, start 181 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: going with your second thought, what would I not do? 182 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 1: Skip over that the next what would I not do? 183 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: And do that instead? And I might just start working 184 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: on deep balls if you did that. What I what 185 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: I like about what you guys are saying, really more 186 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: than anything else, is if you start thinking about it 187 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: from the standpoint of who are your best five, and 188 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: you hear that a lot when you start talking about 189 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 1: offensive lines, who are your best five that I think 190 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 1: Cameron Fleming is probably gonna be among that group before 191 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,719 Speaker 1: you would put Adam Redman or before you would put Sulphilo. 192 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: So if that's the case and you're trying to get 193 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: your best five on the field, then it may have 194 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: to mean you move a Lyle Collins. Now I agree 195 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: with you, Dave. They're not gonna do it. I think 196 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, they prefer to have 197 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: one thing change versus half two things change, especially when 198 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 1: they've prepared and we talk about it a lot, and 199 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: we give them a lot of flak for this in 200 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: the past. When they do it, you get a guy 201 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,439 Speaker 1: prepared all offseason and you get him into the season 202 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,439 Speaker 1: to play a particular position, and then all of a sudden, 203 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: you say, and now you're gonna do something else. He 204 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: has been preparing. I'm talking about Lyle. He has been 205 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: preparing as a tackle. He has been playing as a tackle. 206 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: It's been two years since he played guard. Thinking that 207 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: all of a sudden in a week he can in 208 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: a short week, by the way he can now make 209 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: the transition over to tackle. I'm sorry, he's been playing guard. 210 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: He's been playing tackle. That's to be able to move 211 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: over to card. That's a lot to expect him to 212 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: be able to do again when you're going up against 213 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: Fletcher Cocks. Today's today's practice as a walkthrough because of 214 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: the short weeks, so you're really even you're saying, figure 215 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: this out in two practices and you're going up against 216 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: one of the best defensive tackles in the league. I'm 217 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,839 Speaker 1: about to say something really cynical, like even for me, 218 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: but can't be too cynical for you. You're right, But 219 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: the way, the way the Cowboys would do this is 220 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: role with what they got. You know, keep Lyle where 221 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 1: he is and Fletcher Cox will eat dak alive and 222 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: then they'll make the switch for Atlanta, like that's what 223 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 1: they'll do and be like, well, we think Lyle can 224 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: play guard now hopefully after Fletcher Hopefully this is not 225 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: Atlanta and they let let him get sacked nine times 226 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: whatever number of times it was before they would do it. 227 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: If you get into the game and it starts to 228 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: be a problem, flip it. I mean, it's just that 229 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: you can't let that happen. An entire game like they did. 230 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: You can't even go into the game like that. Okay, 231 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: Connor Williams is supposed to be better than your backups, right, 232 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 1: you would think, you would think, Although I did bring 233 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: up the question last night on our show on the 234 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: Happy Hour of because Connor is still a rookie and 235 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: because he's still making rookie mistakes like he hasn't had 236 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: there have been a lot of games where there have 237 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: been moments where it's like, oh, what's what's Connor doing? 238 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: So with a guy like let's say Sue a Philo 239 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: or with Redman, they have a little more experience than 240 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: he does, could you possibly get better play from them? 241 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: Not saying that they will ever be as good as 242 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 1: what Connor is expected to be in future years, but 243 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 1: because he's still a rookie and still doesn't have the 244 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: size and the strength and the experience that you really 245 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: want him to have in order to be really successful, 246 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 1: are you actually getting maybe a little better player in 247 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: that spot than what you have right now with Connor? 248 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: That's gonna be their hope, and that's why I think 249 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: they'll probably stick stick with it. You know, the next 250 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: man up, they'll say, and at least try sue Philo's 251 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 1: you know, he's been in the league for five years. 252 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: He started a couple dozen games in Houston, whatever it was. 253 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: I mean, he was a second round pick. He's a 254 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: guy that that the Texans tried to you know, they 255 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: expected him to be a starter. So he's got the experience, 256 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: and I'm sure that's what their mindset will be, that 257 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 1: maybe this guy's not that big of a drop off 258 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: from a rookie. That makes sense. I mean, they're going 259 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: to sell it like he was a second round pick. Um, 260 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: but he was also a cut. You know, he was cut. 261 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: I mean, Chas Green was a third round pick and 262 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: he's not in the league. Ry he is in the league. 263 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: He's every pig. Didn't turn out the way you expected, 264 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: you can, they're gonna have a little reunion between him 265 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: and Dez. I don't even think about that. Um, yeah, 266 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 1: what else was? Oh? I was gonna say either way, 267 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: I bet you, I bet you that there won't be 268 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: an inactive offensive lineman this week. They can't afford to 269 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: have one, can't. I bet there will be Hunter. Oh, 270 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: you're right, I'm okay. Among the healthy guys. All right, 271 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna take our first break.

Yeah, what'd you find. I'm 321 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: not as much as I would have liked. This short 322 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: week is messing me all up. But I did get 323 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: a chance to watch a couple of games, and the 324 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: big thing for me is their offensive line shocking. We 325 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: just spent the whole first second talking about the Cowboys. 326 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: I think the Eagles are going through their own pains, 327 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: mainly because of injuries. Remember Jason Peters missed most of 328 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: last season. He's been in and out of the lineup 329 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: with his own problems. Lane Johnson is another guy who's 330 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: missed some games, and this line has has suffered for it. 331 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: The Eagles are not a whole lot better than the 332 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys in terms of protection. They've allowed twenty six sacks 333 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: this season. I think it's hindered their offense. Um. You know, 334 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: you know, if you pay attention to just looking around 335 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: the league, like there's been a lot of talk about 336 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: you know, five alarm fire, Like, oh my god, the Eagles, 337 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: they're they're terrible. I didn't see that. Um, their line, 338 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: their line needs some work. They're not scoring as many 339 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: points as you would assume. But this this still looks 340 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: like the same talented group from last year. Like again, 341 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, people are like, oh, he doesn't look the 342 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: same since his injury. I didn't see that. Um, he's 343 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: completing seventy one percent. He has thirteen touchdowns and two 344 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: interceptions in the sixth starts since he came back in 345 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: Week three. I think pretty healthy number. Yeah. No, he's 346 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: he's playing really well and I'm sure he's still getting 347 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: acclimated after the injury. He doesn't run as much, he's 348 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: only running like three times per game. But he's still 349 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: an athletic guy too, Like he can pick up yards 350 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: with his feed. He's big, he's super and and he's 351 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: he's surprisingly athletic for like the bag prototypical. You know, 352 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: he looks like a statue quarterback, but he's not. In 353 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: this last game against Jacksonville, third and third and three, 354 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: he tries to throw for the first down and the 355 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: ball gets batted back in his face. He adjust catches 356 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: it and runs forward and dives for the first down 357 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: like he can be the closest to Cam Newton in 358 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: the NFL. When you talk size, I mean, obviously I 359 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: think he throws much better than Cam. But when you're 360 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: talking size and when you're talking athleticism, is he the 361 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: closest that there is to Cam in the league. That 362 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 1: feels fair to me. Trying my best to think about 363 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: other quarterbacks in the league, I just don't think anybody 364 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: else has that kind of size. I can't see a 365 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: big dude. I don't think he's not as athletic as Cam, 366 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: but he's still nobody's as Cam. But maybe the closest 367 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: approximation I would think to Cam good. But uh, A 368 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: lot of this personnel looks the same. Zach Ertz. I 369 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: get why. I get why Jason Witten gave him his jersey. 370 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 1: I think he probably honestly is the best tight end 371 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 1: in football right now, maybe better than Kelsey. I think 372 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: he's more well rounded. I think he's a better blocker 373 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: and can do all that tight that type of stuff. 374 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: He's got sixty one catches for six hundred eighty yards 375 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: right now. He's easily you know, he's their primary look. 376 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 1: And then you have Alshon, Jeffrey, Nelson Agilore, and of 377 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: course a guy who I haven't seen with the Eagles yet, 378 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: Golden Tate Goldie. I'm interested to see how that goes. 379 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: I think I read some Eagles writers said that they 380 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: think Tate's gonna play primarily slot, which means Nelson Agilore 381 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: probably moves outside a little bit. And then the biggest 382 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: difference with this team right now is, you know they 383 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: had Jagi and La Garrett Blunt last year. Those guys 384 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 1: are gone. They do it more so by committee than 385 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: any team we've seen. They got like five guys. Wendel 386 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 1: Smallwood is listed as the starter. They also have Corey 387 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: Clement and then Josh Adams, who is a Notre Dame 388 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: running back, Big six three two, twenty dude and fun times. 389 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 1: Darren Sprowles is coming back this week. He'll be back. 390 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 1: It's been out since week one. I think we all 391 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: know what he can do and what he has done 392 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 1: to this team. So they got they got four guys, 393 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 1: they're going to use them all. Um. I think Smallwood 394 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 1: and Adams are their best runners. And then Darren Sprowles 395 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: is one of the best receiving running backs of the 396 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: last twenty years. So are those offensive lineman you mentioned 397 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 1: are they all still healthy? Are they healthy at this 398 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: point or is a situation where they're still kind of 399 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 1: gimpy not really playing? Lane Johnson is expected to play, 400 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,239 Speaker 1: but he's been limited. He's he's gimpy. And then lay 401 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: did he play the last game? No? Um? And then 402 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: Jay's I'm sorry, no he did. I'm sorry he did. Um. 403 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: And then Jason Peters he's got like a quad thing 404 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: and a biceps thing and so he's not completely healthy, 405 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: but he's still Jason Peters did he play the last game? Yes? 406 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 1: So both of them played the last game. Did just 407 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,719 Speaker 1: both hurt? Yeah? And the line has suffered for it. 408 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: But they're still talented guys, sat, I mean, so, um, 409 00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 1: they've had their issues. But this offense looks similar to 410 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: me to what we saw last year. You know, people 411 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: call him, oh sorry, people call him a college offense, 412 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: like there's a you know, kind of like not as 413 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 1: not as not as weird, for lack of a better word, 414 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 1: than Houston with the stuff they do with you know, 415 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,640 Speaker 1: when Kiki qts moving all around, but there's a lot 416 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: of wide receiver motion. Agalore moves from the backfield into 417 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: the slot and vice versa. They do you know, the 418 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: jet action, play action. There's usually some sort of play 419 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: action with either a running back or a wide receiver 420 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: on the vast majority of their plays and wins. His 421 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: athleticism plays into that. It's it's the new wave in 422 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: the NFL. I feel like we talk about it more 423 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: often than not, But I think the reports of their 424 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: demise have been exaggerated a little bit. They still look 425 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: plenty scary to me. When teams have stopped them. What 426 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: have they done? It's gotten to wins. I mean twenty 427 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: six sacks and you see it. Going back to Nick's 428 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: point from the beginning of the show, teams collapse the 429 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: pocket on him and I don't. He doesn't. Like I said, 430 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: he's still athletic, but he doesn't want to move. I 431 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 1: think I think that's in the back of his head 432 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: as well. It probably should be. I mean, his season 433 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: was ended on a scramble play. Uh and so he 434 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 1: takes sacks, you can affect him in the pocket. I 435 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: don't think he's as willing to extend plays as he 436 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: used to be. Uh, and you throw him off. That's 437 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 1: when teams have limited them that I've seen really important. 438 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: David Irving can play this week. If he can, if 439 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: he comes back from an ankle injury. We'll see if 440 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 1: he practices today or what he was doing. I don't 441 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: he wasn't out there again, It's yeah, this is a way, yeah, 442 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 1: but yeah, I just feel like and I know that 443 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: that Um Ross played well, Daniel Ross played well, but 444 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: you got to I mean that they have good center, 445 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: you've you've have great center. You've got to be able 446 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: to affect them in the pocket like that. So I 447 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: think it's it's important if somehow he can play more 448 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: so than Gregory. Gregory might play, But I mean, I 449 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: feel like you've got to have some defensive tackle play 450 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: there because he's a guy that that has the ability 451 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 1: extend plays. Though because of his size, even when you're 452 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: trying you get to him, it's hard to bring him down. 453 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 1: I've seen him make a lot of throws with guys 454 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 1: hanging off of him, right, Do you in a situation 455 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 1: like that, do you think maybe the Cowboys kind of 456 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 1: back off a little bit from blitzing and try to 457 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: just keep as many guys in coverage as possible to 458 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,439 Speaker 1: make it hard for him to make that throw. Or 459 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: do you just kind of go at him and get 460 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: really aggressive with going after him even though that you know, 461 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: there may be some plays where you get exposed a 462 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 1: little bit because he extends to play because you can't 463 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 1: get him down. Those backs catch the ball, though, don't they. Yes, 464 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: they do well, Yes, it makes it hard to know 465 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: they do. It's it's gonna be interesting because we haven't 466 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: really seen it. Smallwood and Clement catch the ball. They've 467 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: got twenty nine total receptions this year. But Sprowls is 468 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 1: back and that's what he does, that's all, that's what 469 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: he does best. Yeah, and so I think you're definitely 470 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: going to see an element of that which I don't 471 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 1: like the idea of bringing a lot of pressure because 472 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: I'm sitting here, like they don't, you know, this team 473 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 1: doesn't have that like Burner, like Deshaun Jackson, who's just 474 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,479 Speaker 1: gonna get behind you and go to the house. But 475 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: Alshan Jeffrey's huge. I mean, you know, you talk about 476 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: traveling Byron Jones. I don't mind the thought of Byron 477 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 1: Jones following him around because he's gonna he's a contested 478 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: ball phenom. You add Golden Tate. We already saw what 479 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: Golden Tate can do to this defense. Two chunk play touchdowns. 480 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 1: Somebody's gotta cover Zach Ertz. I think Layton vander esh 481 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: and Jalen Smith are athletic guys who can handle that, 482 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: but Ertz as a different animal. So the more pressure 483 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: you're bringing, the less guys you have around to deal 484 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: with all this stuff. That kind of scares me, to 485 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: be honest, But I honestly am wondering though if with 486 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: the guys you currently have in your secondary, I don't 487 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: know if I really trust the fact that in zone 488 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: covers they're going to be able to really affect the 489 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: passing games. I'm almost like, hey, you just have to 490 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: take your chances and be a lot more aggressive, because 491 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: I certainly don't like to match up of Anthony Brown's 492 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 1: slot against Golden Tate. If you if you're gonna try 493 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: to man up, or if you're gonna try to, you know, 494 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: try to take these guys one on one. I just 495 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: I think it's you probably are in a better position 496 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: is if you give them less time and send some pression. 497 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: I'm not saying you have to do that the whole game, 498 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 1: but I do think they got to find their spots 499 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: here to be aggressive and really go after him and 500 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,640 Speaker 1: not let him sit back there and figure out where 501 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: he wants to throw the ball. I take that back 502 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: what I said about Gregory. I do need him to 503 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: play because what that does that puts Tyron Crawford back 504 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,439 Speaker 1: in the middle, and that's where he needs to be 505 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,439 Speaker 1: rushing from. And then you got better rushers if you 506 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: can get Crawford inside and Gregory on the outside. He's 507 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: way more disruptive in the middle than eating outside. Yeah, 508 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: and that's again pushing, you know, not so much concerned 509 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: about coming around the edge as disrupting the pocket, making 510 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 1: Wins have to move, making him uncomfortable because he's athletic 511 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 1: enough and they do enough stuff with play action that 512 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 1: I think Wins can limit the effect that like a 513 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence has on this game just through his own 514 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: natural The linebackers did not play well last game. I mean, 515 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: that was not the good game for vanderash or Jalen Smith. 516 00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: They might have had a lot of tackles, but they 517 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: have probably had a lot of miss tackles too, and 518 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: so just moments when they couldn't get out of the trash, right, yea. 519 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: So on the eagle talk whatever that's called the bird chat? Yeh, 520 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: eggles hour Eagles hour, Eagles eggles eggles our eggles Yeah, 521 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: huh Eagles. I don't know. I haven't really hung out 522 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: with one lately, so I don't know. Is that not 523 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: how they sound? It doesn't seem right. Do you think 524 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: they sound? Oh? No, but that's another type of bird. 525 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: Get your birds ride there. The stats, the stats say 526 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 1: that this isn't an impressive offense. Uh, their middle of 527 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 1: the pack. They don't run the ball as well as 528 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: they did last year without a GII. They're not scoring now. 529 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: It's part of that when you look in at season 530 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: stats for them, though. It it factors in the games 531 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 1: that WinCE wasn't playing though, right, how many games he 532 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: did WinCE against the Holy missed two? So I don't 533 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: know that. So they have what six games he's played, 534 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 1: he's started six started six hasn't been great in those 535 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: six I mean he had and they've had their issues 536 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: like that's I mean, you know, you I follow I 537 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: follow media for everybody in the league. I follow a 538 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: ton of Philly media, and they they talk about this 539 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: team like they're like, what the hell is wrong with 540 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: this offense? Which they're four and four. They've already lost 541 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,479 Speaker 1: more games than they did all of last seasons, so 542 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 1: I get it. But the talent here is still plenty 543 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 1: impressive to me. And also they're coming off a couple 544 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: of games where they've played better than they had. I mean, 545 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: last year they could just flat out running games like 546 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: they would get the situations where they could just saddle 547 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: up and run the ball, and they can't. I don't 548 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: think they can do do not. I do not think 549 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna just line up and bowl this team over that, 550 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: you know, the way a giy and blunted last year. 551 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: You know, we thought that the Cowboys had a long 552 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 1: break on a Monday night game after a buye Is 553 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: this right? Then? The Eagles play Thursday night against the Giants. No, 554 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: well they actually the Eagles missing you skipped. Well, the 555 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,479 Speaker 1: Eagles went to London and beat Jacksonville. That was their 556 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: last game. Okay, the action, which it's thrilled pretty long break. 557 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll get that's but I'm I know there 558 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,239 Speaker 1: are Cowboys fans that are pissed because the Cowboys are 559 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: on a short week playing an Eagles team that's been 560 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: on its by, which doesn't seem like you're want to 561 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 1: do that with division teams especially. It doesn't seem like 562 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,959 Speaker 1: a great scheduling call by the NFL. But like somebody 563 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: gets screwed by the schedule every year, like it's play 564 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: this week Atlanta is playing. I don't know, buy are 565 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: they No, they're not on a buy it's gonna say, 566 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: because that would saw them in the picks, But I 567 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: don't remember. That would be three games their favorite though, 568 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: I think I don't know. I think not. That's three 569 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: straight games that Cowboys would face. Somebody coming on and buy. No, No, 570 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,199 Speaker 1: they're I'm pretty sure they're playing this week, gotcha. I'm 571 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: pretty sure they're playing to say, all right, we're gonna 572 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: take our final break when we come back. I want 573 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 1: to get some calls, calls eight eight eight eight five 574 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: five two two nine seven.

I don't know whatever. You're not 648 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: gonna get hu speaking of playing from behind, Tommy John. Yea, yeah, 649 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: all right, wow, what's going on? Yeah? All right, here 650 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: we go. Um, I did want to get you guys. 651 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: Opinions on des Bryant. It sounds like he has well 652 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: we know he went to work out for the for 653 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: the Saints, and it sounds like they are in the 654 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: process of doing the deal. It sounds like it's pretty 655 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: much everything but signed at this point, I think it 656 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 1: might even be signed, might even be signed. He is 657 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: now going to be a new Orleans Saints wide receiver, 658 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: which means that the Cowboys on November twenty ninth will 659 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 1: face Dez Bryant here at at and T Stadium. What 660 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: are your thoughts. I'm I'm super excited to see what 661 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: it looks like. This is. You know, we've been wondering 662 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: what was going to happen with this for a long time. UM, 663 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: even going back as far as April, I think all 664 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: of us said that this is the type of situation 665 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: that he could thrive in. Aaron green Bay and Aaron 666 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: Rodgers was the other one. I did not know this. 667 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: You know, the Saints drafted they have Ted Ginn and 668 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: they drafted a kid named Trey Kwan. He got hurt 669 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 1: and this kid, Trey Kwan Smith out of UCF has 670 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 1: kind of taken over as the Z receiver. But I 671 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 1: did not realize. UM, no receiver on the Saints roster 672 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 1: other than Mike Thomas has more than twelve catches this year. 673 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 1: But I don't know, he's really really good. But there's 674 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: there's snaps to go around, is what I'm trying to say, like, 675 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: there's you know, there's not this guy that you can't 676 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: take off the field. So like I would imagine Dez 677 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: is probably their number two receiver right away, really, I 678 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: mean not this weekend. I would guess because he you know, 679 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: he hasn't practiced yet. Assumption is that he can't be 680 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: in shape enough to really play a huge amount of snaps. 681 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 1: I wouldn't think, well that, but that's I guess. That's 682 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 1: my point is if if they're none of their other 683 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 1: receivers have more than twelve catches, like they can cycle 684 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: him in just as easily as anybody else. No, I'm 685 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: saying more just from his heath, like is he is 686 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 1: he in enough? Is he in good enough shape to 687 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: do it? I'm not saying that necessarily taking anybody off 688 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: the field, as much as just when you've been sitting 689 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: at home, can you be in the kind of shape 690 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: that you need to be in to play a significant 691 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: enough with the whole fitness your face? I don't. I 692 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 1: don't buy Instagram a whole lot on his I bet you, 693 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 1: Like I said, I doubt he plays. I think the 694 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: Saints play the Bengals this weekend. I doubt he plays 695 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: this weekend, but the game after that, he'll be ready 696 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: for Cowboys. He'll definitely be ready for Cowboy. He'll be 697 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: ready to play twenty five to forty snaps by the 698 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 1: next game. Yeah, I agree with that. I can see 699 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 1: that it's gonna be fascinating, Like, is Dez done? Is 700 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 1: he not done? How well can he play? How well 701 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:19,720 Speaker 1: do the Saints need him to play in that offense 702 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: anyway with all the weapons that they have. I'm I'm 703 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 1: fascinated to see it as a football fan, as a 704 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: Dez fan, as a Cowboys writer. You know, I think 705 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fascinating to watch. I want to see 706 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: what it looks like. The great part of it is 707 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,359 Speaker 1: Desk can go there, and Desk can be a one 708 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,439 Speaker 1: trick pony, and if he does it well, it will 709 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,360 Speaker 1: make their team infinitely better. Because if you got a 710 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,360 Speaker 1: guy like Michael Thomas that right now teams try to 711 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: double him, he still gets open and he still catches 712 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: the ball. They have a running game with two really 713 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,919 Speaker 1: good running backs. And now if you can just add 714 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 1: a dimension with Dez Bryant that gives you something down 715 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: the field with those fifty fifty balls, that creates a 716 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: whole different dynamic that teams now just have to respect him. 717 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 1: It's what Teddy Gain usually provides for them. You just 718 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 1: gotta respect him out there on the outside. And if 719 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,880 Speaker 1: you got to respect him, that just helps. A running 720 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 1: game helps Michael Thomas like all the way around, it's 721 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 1: a that's a great fit for them. I've only, like 722 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:10,919 Speaker 1: I said, they're only two teams I thought were great fits. 723 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: I think this is one of them. Maybe three New 724 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 1: England too. In New England, I think you got to 725 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 1: be a much more disciplined route runner. I look at 726 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 1: a guy like Chad Johnson when he went there, he 727 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: burned out quick. Yeah that's fair, you know, it does. 728 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry, I don't know. I'd rather just 729 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: not say a whole lot about it because I don't 730 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 1: I don't know what he's doing. I mean, this is 731 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: not about the Saints. Is maybe it's a good fit 732 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,879 Speaker 1: for the Saints, but it's a thousand percent good fit 733 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 1: for Dez, which is what he's looking for. Um. You know, 734 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 1: I think it made it. He made it pretty clear 735 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 1: that this was all about him this time around, was 736 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,839 Speaker 1: getting this deal. I don't think he was signing with 737 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 1: anybody that didn't play the Cowboys, and I don't think 738 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 1: he was signing with anyone that that was didn't have 739 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 1: a good quarterback and a good offense. So this is quarterbacks, 740 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 1: Yeah right, this is about him and maybe a chance 741 00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: to go get a ring. What I what I really 742 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 1: wonder more about it is Sean Payton's future in New Orleans. 743 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 1: This is what makes me kind of wonder more about him. 744 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 1: I think he's going all in for this year. I 745 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 1: don't know if he's I don't know this, but I 746 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 1: just don't think he'll be the coach for the Saints 747 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 1: next year. So I think he's doing this like man, 748 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,200 Speaker 1: this is just let's just put everything we have to 749 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 1: go win this thing right now. And that's kind of 750 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 1: my first thought about him going to get Dez is 751 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 1: for that region. But for Deaz, it's just like, hey, 752 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:27,840 Speaker 1: I want to I want to show the Cowboys what 753 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,239 Speaker 1: I can do, but I'm not going to anybody just 754 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: to play and run around and struggle like we're gonna, 755 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,399 Speaker 1: I mean, on top of it to eight and one 756 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 1: and then we'll talk. Um. It's interesting to note too, 757 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 1: is you know we said all along Daz was holding 758 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:41,839 Speaker 1: out for a one year deal so he could test 759 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,320 Speaker 1: free agency, and we were swelling like, why hasn't he signed? 760 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 1: Why is he waiting? Maybe he's waiting because nobody was 761 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,279 Speaker 1: willing to give him that until you know, at this 762 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: point in the season, they're like, all right, it's only 763 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,319 Speaker 1: there's only seven games left anyway, so yeah, well sign. 764 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 1: It wasn't a one year deal. Yeah, I believe that's 765 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 1: what they're saying. I don't know how much money, but 766 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 1: it's only one year. So eight games. Make your best 767 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 1: impression and see what I see what they don't. I 768 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,360 Speaker 1: don't think they have anything to lose with this. No, 769 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,760 Speaker 1: I don't think in half a season he can disrupt 770 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 1: their locker room. I don't think he can cost problems 771 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,319 Speaker 1: in half a season that breaks up their chemistry. Like, 772 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 1: I just think at the end of the day, this 773 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 1: is a no lose for them. I'll be interested. I don't. Yeah, 774 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,439 Speaker 1: you're right, it's only eight games. It's probably not enough 775 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: time to break up their locker room. But like Michael 776 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,880 Speaker 1: Thomas loves him some him too, he is you know, 777 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,279 Speaker 1: do you think maybe the influence could possibly create some 778 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:34,320 Speaker 1: or just I mean on the road is yeah, that's you. 779 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 1: I saw somebody already made a meme about that where 780 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 1: it was Mike Thomas on the phone and then they 781 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 1: had Dez Bryant at the telethon that we did for 782 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,799 Speaker 1: Harvey relief last year. Yeah, so what you're doing. I 783 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,240 Speaker 1: think for eight games, I think they can co exist. 784 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 1: But those are those are two really big egos that 785 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 1: are sharing the same room. Now. I'm really curious to 786 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 1: see and excited and anxious to seem to see him 787 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:03,760 Speaker 1: play three Sorry, go talk, what do you want? Go Amber, 788 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:10,200 Speaker 1: I'm excited to see him play, to see him play 789 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,960 Speaker 1: because I want not only to see how he performs, 790 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,880 Speaker 1: but if he does well, that's gonna give me another 791 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,719 Speaker 1: whole different idea of the Cowboys offense and what this 792 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,400 Speaker 1: team is in the coaching and even Dak Prescott, because 793 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: if I start seeing him succeed although when you started 794 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,719 Speaker 1: remembering the place, I'm not even gonna look at him, 795 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:37,239 Speaker 1: Nick freaking rude. Come on, you know why, I just 796 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 1: forget it. I don't even know what you're talking about. 797 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,840 Speaker 1: Let's let's go. I'm saying, if he succeeds where he's playing, 798 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,120 Speaker 1: that's gonna give me a whole different outlook of this offense. 799 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 1: It's just gonna add on to what just Literally, the 800 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: Cowboys have had a narrative since February, and it already 801 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 1: doesn't look that great because they had to go get 802 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: Amari Cooper, like their whole we don't need a number 803 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,480 Speaker 1: one receiver thing doesn't look great right now. Wow, if 804 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,359 Speaker 1: Daz goes to another offense and plays great, they're gonna 805 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: look even worse. Right, I was going to agree with 806 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,760 Speaker 1: that because Des took eight or nine years still still 807 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 1: hasn't figured out the Cowboys offense. So let's be clear. 808 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,360 Speaker 1: He could not play the slot. He could not be 809 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,880 Speaker 1: a slot receiver because he really didn't ever understand and 810 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 1: figure that out. So if you're right, if he goes 811 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,360 Speaker 1: to New Orleans, goes there and they figure out something 812 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 1: for him, now he's not making sixteen million a year, 813 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,879 Speaker 1: so you can justify his role in a different way. 814 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 1: He can be a one trick pony or whatever you said. 815 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,880 Speaker 1: He couldn't have really, he couldn't have done that here 816 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 1: with the contract they gave him. But if he goes 817 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 1: and picks this up rather quickly, I think it'll go 818 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,160 Speaker 1: it'll say a lot to how much teaching and coaching 819 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:47,880 Speaker 1: there was involved with what he was doing here. But 820 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,360 Speaker 1: let's also be clear, I think one of the things, 821 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,920 Speaker 1: and I know I said it, I assume I'm pretty 822 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,399 Speaker 1: sure you guys agreed and said the same things that 823 00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 1: when it comes to Dez, like, part of the reason 824 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,240 Speaker 1: the Cowboys let him go is not necess serily because 825 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,360 Speaker 1: he's a worst player. It's because with the current construction 826 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 1: of the team, he didn't fit the quarterback and the 827 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,920 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator couldn't figure out how to use him the 828 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: right way for whatever reason, whether it's because he couldn't 829 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 1: get him the ball the right way, but because they 830 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,680 Speaker 1: couldn't get him the ball enough, because of the philosophy 831 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,319 Speaker 1: of the offense, whatever the case might have been, they 832 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 1: couldn't figure out how to use him the best way. 833 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 1: That didn't necessarily mean he wasn't still a capable player. 834 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,319 Speaker 1: What we're about to find out right now is is 835 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,319 Speaker 1: he still a capable player? And if he is, that 836 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 1: still doesn't mean the Cowboys should have kept him, because 837 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 1: it means the Cowboys maybe still just couldn't use him 838 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 1: in that way. Right well, I think that still goes 839 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,439 Speaker 1: back to the whole coaching thing again, and again, yeah, 840 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,160 Speaker 1: some pieces might not work with while you're trying to do. 841 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,719 Speaker 1: But if that's what you have and he's still part 842 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:49,280 Speaker 1: of the better pieces in your puzzle, you still as 843 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,440 Speaker 1: a coach find a way to make it work and 844 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,840 Speaker 1: figure out how to get him moving. But I just 845 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: think that either way, well unless he does horrible over 846 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 1: there with the same and then all the way round 847 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 1: of it. Kay, alright, that was where right, which totally 848 00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,480 Speaker 1: totally possible. Yeah, I mean, let this can go a 849 00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,520 Speaker 1: lot of different way. It could, It could, but I 850 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,680 Speaker 1: just I think it's it's a he held on. He 851 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:17,920 Speaker 1: had the patience, I guess, to hold on for ten weeks, 852 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: and I think he put himself in as good of 853 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,319 Speaker 1: a position as he possibly could. Let's real quick, before 854 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,200 Speaker 1: we in the show, Let's get a tall call from 855 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,839 Speaker 1: Tony in Colorado. Tony, what up? Just taking the call. 856 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,440 Speaker 1: Definitely enjoy the show, Thank you, And it's glad to 857 00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:36,400 Speaker 1: hear nick Uh make the point about Crawford being inside 858 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,560 Speaker 1: on the defensive line. I talked to Brian brought us 859 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:43,360 Speaker 1: about this before, and he always disagreed. In my opinion, 860 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:48,880 Speaker 1: Crawford cannot bend and get down like a Gregory or 861 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:53,400 Speaker 1: Lawrence or Armstrong or when we had Tapper. Um. I 862 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 1: think having a big guy like that should be disruptive 863 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,800 Speaker 1: and push back the U, the center and the guards 864 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 1: on the offensive line. And I just have a question, 865 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,680 Speaker 1: since I don't have the insight intel like you guys do, 866 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:11,240 Speaker 1: has there ever been any talk about bringing Romo back 867 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:17,440 Speaker 1: as an offensive coordinator if Lennonhan gets, you know, displaced 868 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 1: at the end of the year. Okay, thanks for the call. 869 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:25,319 Speaker 1: I'll answer that that part Tony Romo is enjoying being 870 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:31,600 Speaker 1: like away from football and when you're a coordinator, like 871 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:35,400 Speaker 1: you're you're here for like fifteen sixteen hours a day 872 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 1: every day, long hours and stuff. I think there was 873 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 1: an Instagram picture of him on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, 874 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,480 Speaker 1: like on his couch, like sitting there watching You're not 875 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 1: doing that as a coordinator. You're not playing golf. I 876 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:49,680 Speaker 1: just don't want to work that hard. I can't think 877 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 1: of a single reason why he would do that. I 878 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,960 Speaker 1: don't unless he just loved to actually the challenge of 879 00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,839 Speaker 1: actually going and being a coordinator. But I don't see 880 00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,520 Speaker 1: why he would want to do that from certainly from 881 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,680 Speaker 1: the standpoint and of quality of life. He ever did, though. 882 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,200 Speaker 1: I was told this, if he ever decided to be 883 00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,320 Speaker 1: a coach, he would be a defensive coordinator. There you go, 884 00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,200 Speaker 1: he would not be an offensive coordinator to be a 885 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,319 Speaker 1: defensive cord. Think about how he calls the game. He's 886 00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,240 Speaker 1: telling you what's gonna happen offensively, what are they thinking 887 00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,759 Speaker 1: right now? That makes him a great defensive coordinator to 888 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,759 Speaker 1: be able to combat right The story the story that 889 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:24,440 Speaker 1: I've heard, and Dez would play Madden religiously. He plays 890 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,279 Speaker 1: it all the time, tells everybody how good he is. 891 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:31,760 Speaker 1: He played Romo, who doesn't really play it. Romo smoked 892 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 1: him because on defense he knew what to player. And 893 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,880 Speaker 1: this is Madden. I mean, this is just like, you know, 894 00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,480 Speaker 1: fake football or whatever. I just think you're you're seeing 895 00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:42,680 Speaker 1: the flip side of it. You know. John Gruden was 896 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:46,040 Speaker 1: worshiped as like this god of football when he was 897 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:50,120 Speaker 1: on TV talking about it and doing commercials. The reality 898 00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,480 Speaker 1: is not as fun, Yeah, it's I mean, you're working 899 00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,400 Speaker 1: ten times harder, doesn't mean your team's gonna be good 900 00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 1: and people don't like you if you're not winning. Tony 901 00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,160 Speaker 1: Romo gets to work. I mean, what does he work 902 00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:03,759 Speaker 1: during football season? Like forty hours a week, Like he's 903 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:05,560 Speaker 1: got to watch the Sweet Gig, He's got to watch 904 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,719 Speaker 1: tape of the teams he's covering. He's got to go 905 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 1: in on Friday and Saturday and do interviews with the 906 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:11,720 Speaker 1: guys and then called the game. And then he spends 907 00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,760 Speaker 1: the rest of the week at home with his family 908 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,520 Speaker 1: and he gets to do Corona and whatever and Sketcher's commercials, 909 00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:22,440 Speaker 1: and people think he's the freaking man because his football expertise. 910 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to hate on him, but like it's 911 00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:25,759 Speaker 1: not put to the test in the sense that he's 912 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,600 Speaker 1: not winning and losing games. It's like the best job 913 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 1: in the world, and I just I can't imagine that 914 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:37,560 Speaker 1: he would leave that for all of the work. So no, 915 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:39,879 Speaker 1: I don't see that happening. And if it does happen, 916 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 1: it won't be any time in the near Fie. It 917 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,000 Speaker 1: would have to be because he just wants that challenge, 918 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:45,720 Speaker 1: Like it would just have to be a life challenge, 919 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,359 Speaker 1: like hey, I want to go do this to see 920 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:48,880 Speaker 1: how good I can be, And that would be the 921 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 1: only reason that it would make sense he left football 922 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:52,680 Speaker 1: and got put to the front of the line in 923 00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,880 Speaker 1: the broadcasting world. I mean, which doesn't happen, very awful, 924 00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,480 Speaker 1: especially for both those guys. That to happen, and it 925 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,839 Speaker 1: does happen if you play for the Cowboy, can happen 926 00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,040 Speaker 1: if you play for the Camp. Real quick about Crawford though, 927 00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,840 Speaker 1: like yes, I said that about him being in the inside, 928 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,920 Speaker 1: but remember they don't pass every single play. Those defensive 929 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,000 Speaker 1: ends for all is you know the bending and you 930 00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,080 Speaker 1: know that you need to do to get off the edge. 931 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,160 Speaker 1: You also need to stop the run. So that's what 932 00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,000 Speaker 1: makes to Marcus Lawrence made. It's what made DeMarcus Ware 933 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,600 Speaker 1: so good that they could stop the run. So that's 934 00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,920 Speaker 1: what Crawford gives you when he plays ends, his ability 935 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,440 Speaker 1: to stop the run. So it's not just about getting 936 00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:28,560 Speaker 1: off the edge. They need those those defensive vents. Like 937 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,839 Speaker 1: you said, Taco, Doran's arm strong. Those guys they need 938 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:32,759 Speaker 1: to Gregory and they need to stop the run as well. 939 00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:34,960 Speaker 1: All right, guys, appreciate you joining us back tomorrow. We'll 940 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,200 Speaker 1: have more talk for you. We're definitely gonna talk about 941 00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,640 Speaker 1: the Eagles defense.
