WEBVTT - Cowboys Break: Scouting the Texans Offense 0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:03.440 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:06.640 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Are you ready for 0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:11.280 a break? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely ready 0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:15.120 for a break? Yeah, and so much for that. It's 0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:21.079 time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com with 0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:27.920 Nick Eatman, David Hillman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. Hey, guys, 0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:33.080 welcome to the Break. We're gonna be getting into a 0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:36.360 lot of exciting stuff, hopefully a lot of fun talk. 0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:40.479 How are you guys doing well? Well? Break? Good? Awesome? 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:45.559 You're good? Good, You're good? Man? Good? Bro? You good bro? 0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:49.440 Okay bro? All right, Well, before we get into the 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:54.640 Texans um offense, I wanted to hit over a few 0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:59.040 points in regards to the white receiver position, starting off 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:02.760 with Terrence William who wasn't at practice on Friday, was 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:06.320 inactive during the game, and then today it wasn't an 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:10.280 ad practice again. So I want to know the mystery 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:13.400 behind this whole deal and what is really going on here. 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:18.240 Any answers to this or any any how do you 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:23.640 call those like super supposition no SUSI speculations. Yeah, there 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.000 we go, whole I wish I could help you, Amber 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:27.920 I've been trying to get to the bottom of it, 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.120 and what I've been hearing back is I wish I 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.360 could help you, like you've been hearing that back from 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:35.240 people you've been talking to. Yes, yeah, it's scene. I 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:37.600 don't know, and I think we've kind of had an 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:41.360 idea that something weird was going on ever since Bryce 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:44.160 Butler joined the team basically, which was what after week 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:48.880 two or three, regardless he's been. Yeah, he's been. He's 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:50.600 been here for two games. We've known for a couple 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:54.920 of weeks that something's up with Terrence. He didn't practice Friday, 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:57.560 he wasn't at the game Sunday. He's dealing with some 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:01.640 off field issues. We asked Jason Garrett before practice today 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:03.520 at his press conference if he's going to practice, and 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.880 he said, we'll see. Which somebody made the astute observation, 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.440 like practices in fifteen minutes. What do you mean you 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:15.519 don't know? It's weird. Cole Beasley mentioned, maybe you know 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:17.560 he's got something going on with his foot. He had 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:20.919 his foot surgically repaired during the offseason after he broke it, 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:24.919 so maybe there's an injury component. There's been reports about 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:28.639 a possible suspension. I haven't the slightest idea. All I 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.200 know is that he's not practicing and he has not 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.200 had much of an impact at all on this team 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.600 in twenty eighteen. And that's the key is he really 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:38.639 hasn't had much of an impact. So it doesn't help 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.040 hurt you one way or the other. It's more just 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.519 a you want to kind of know what's going on 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:47.079 because obviously you've got to figure out what's going to 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:48.880 happen with David Irving and if he is going to 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:52.799 be a guy that could be a potential possible cut 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:54.720 to get make room for Irving. You kind of want 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.200 to know that, right just as you know, as curious 0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:59.800 people that follows a team want to know. But right 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:01.960 now out there doesn't seem like they're very there's very 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:04.240 much in the way of facts that are coming out. 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:08.520 So it's a it's such a curious phenomenon with this team. 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:10.720 And I chalk it up to how popular it is. 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:12.760 I mean, this is the most popular football team in 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:14.760 the world, draws a lot of scrutiny, gets a lot 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.800 of coverage, like stuff like it's never as simple as 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.200 it's supposed to be with the Cowboys, like any other team, 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:24.239 it would just kind of be, it would be under wraps, 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:26.720 and then one day they'd be like he's suspended or 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:30.320 he's going to i R and that's they're like, okay, cool, 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:34.760 but he's back. Nobody cares. But here like there, you know, 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.000 there's reports, there are leaks, there, speculate and all of 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:39.840 a sudden, you know, it reminds me of when Dez 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:41.880 skipped as MRI I a couple of years ago, Like 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:45.520 it's just like, why, why can't the most mundane of 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.280 activities ever just be as straightforward as they're supposed to be, 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:51.760 Like teams, teams make roster moves all the time, and 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:55.280 it's just never seems like it's that easy here. Yeah, okay, 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:59.600 And another wide receiver who we know um has some 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:05.600 fun tweeting about the days. That's Bryant, and we know 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:09.680 he's been getting ready into football shape, or at least 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:13.240 based on all his pictures and videos of him working 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.719 out and doing all that football stuff. Someone tweeted at 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:20.200 him asking him who you signing with, and he responded back, 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.760 I'd rather it be the Dallas Cowboys. If not, I'll 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:27.720 be ready to play somewhere else now to me, That 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:32.360 was a surprising response because based on how things kind 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:35.440 of went down, I wouldn't expect that kind of response. 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.800 But hey, if he wants to be here, cool Now 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:43.760 is this a real scenario? Do you actually see this happening. 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:48.400 We've talked about maybe Dak having the need of having 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:51.280 some kind of wide receiver that has the experience and 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.480 being able to help him on the field aside from 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:58.279 Ezekiel Elia, Do you guys really see this happening later 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:02.159 on in the season or at some Honestly, this reminds 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.160 me of when I was a single man and you 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.000 date somebody and then you break up with him, and 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.400 then it's like six months later you run into him 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:12.600 and you kind of like, man, I kind of missed them, 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:14.839 but you don't think about all the things that were 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.000 the problems as to why you broke up with them 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.440 in the first place. I hope the Cowboys don't get 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.400 in that situation. And the reason why I say that 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:25.360 is because last year, let's be honest, wasn't Dez. Wasn't 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.880 doing Dez things. Last year for the most part, he 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.560 was not the player, and there can be a lot 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:32.720 of reasons for that, and I think it's people have 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.240 a valid point when they say maybe it was the 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:37.960 quarterback not being able to utilize him the right way. 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:40.920 Maybe that's true, Maybe that's very valid, right, but guess what, 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:42.920 that quarterback is still here and as of right now, 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:46.120 that quarterback isn't going anywhere. So if we saw that 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:49.200 last year, I don't think anyone should be under some 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:53.480 sort of illusion that bringing him back somehow it's gonna 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:56.240 be different, because I don't think it necessarily will be. 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.160 I think the Cowboys have a path they want to 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.400 go down. Go down that path for right or wrong, 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.080 whether it works or doesn't work. You selected a path, 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:05.800 go with it. I don't think they go back and 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:07.880 revise that at this point, in my opinion, I thought 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:10.680 Nick had the line of the day. Yesterday we were 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:14.719 talking about this, which people that listen to the show 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.520 don't know William, But William works on the back end 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.880 with us. You know, he did a post slave our stories. 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.840 There's a lot of web stuff, crucial piece of what 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:26.640 we do behind the scenes. But uh Rob was like, well, yeah, 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:28.680 Dez said if he could sign anywhere, he wants to 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.320 play for the Cowboys, and Nick goes, so does William. 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.400 So what like of course, Das wants to play for 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:38.160 the Cowboys. Dez always wanted to play for the Cowboys. 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:43.120 William William was like, just give me one rep. Rep 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.080 this whole thing. It was never about what Dez wanted 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.000 to do. It was about what the Cowboys wanted. And 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.800 I get it. I'm hey, I love Dez Bryant. Part 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:55.040 of me probably would be excited to see him resigned, 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:59.200 just for the spectacle of it all. But numbers, yeah, no, exactly. 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.960 I mean, the story would get the story would get clicks, 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.360 there's no doubt about that, but some extra attention. I 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:06.680 love that point. I mean here, I mean at this 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.400 point in the season. Last year, Dez had two hundred 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:14.720 and twelve receiving yards. That's about fifty three a game. 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:18.080 He did that on sixteen catches, which is for a game. 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:23.040 More importantly than that forty targets, So he's catching less 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.920 than half of his of his targets for fifty three 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.560 yards a game. He did have two touchdowns, but remember 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:32.160 those numbers are super inflated because Dak was just chucking 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.320 him the ball. He threw him the ball sixteen times 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:39.880 in a thirty point loss in Denver. I don't know, 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:41.600 there's so many ways you can go with this, Like 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:43.720 you can argue whether they should have cut him, you 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.520 can argue whether this is the right path to be 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:48.840 on the point is that they're on this path already. 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:52.360 I legitimately, I don't I would even be willing to 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:54.360 concede that maybe it wasn't the best idea to cut 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:57.880 him in the first place. But I really, I genuinely 0:07:57.920 --> 0:07:59.960 believe this team wouldn't be any better with Dez Bryan 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.640 on it right now based on what we saw last year. Um, 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:05.120 and the numbers don't bear out that it would be 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.840 this amazing idea to bring him back. But he claims 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:12.800 to being super Scian mode. What else would would you 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:16.080 say to somebody? Is the all the Goku post? I 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:18.800 just think in no offense to how we started the show, 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.880 But I just think those are two irrelevant topics because 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:26.440 none of them matters. Like Terrence Williams like, he's not contributing, 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:29.080 so it doesn't really matter. Yeah, it's interesting, of what's 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:30.440 the deal? Is he gonna go? I r is he 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:32.360 gonna go cut? But I don't think he's mean. I 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:34.599 think he's caught his last pass with the Cowboys and 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.079 I think that's wow, That's that's a big statement, though, Nick, 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:39.480 I mean, do you really think I don't know? I mean, honestly, 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.319 if this is a situation he hasn't, then that's six 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:46.280 more yards. I mean, but no, it isn't. I mean 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.480 I don't maybe. I mean, that's that's a pretty big statement. 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.920 I'm a little more with you on that one for sure. 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:56.040 About with any team. I mean, don't you think that 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.480 Dez just doesn't want to play football and all? This 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.079 is just kind of smoking me. I don't believe that. 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:03.520 I think Dez wants to play under death circumstances. And 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:05.280 what I mean by that is, I think Dez wants 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:08.400 to play at the right place for the right amount 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:11.600 of money is and the right play because he's had opportunities. 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:15.240 Baltimore was offered him a deal, right, he wants to 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:17.400 play football. I think if the Giants would offer him 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:18.400 in that same deal, he would have done it in 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:21.360 a minute. He made it clear which teams he wanted 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:23.079 to go to. You know, if it's one of those things, 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:26.360 I think he's in Ronda Rousey. They were the biggest, 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:29.240 the baddest until they got punched in the mouth and 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:31.920 then they're like, it's different. It's a totally different thing 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.440 now after that. And the thing is, Dez did things 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:36.840 des way, I go, I jump over people, I make 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:40.199 these plays, get off me whatever. But when you're not 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.559 that guy anymore and you're getting called out by the 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:46.280 cornerback from the Panthers, who's now with the Josh Norman, 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.199 you're getting called out by other people like this guy's 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:51.559 not very good, don't it's kind of embarrassing to go 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:53.640 out and play that. You can't do all this X 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:55.439 stuff like that when you do it once a year. 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:59.520 But I don't see Dez as that kind of timid player. 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.800 Timid persons to me, that's that's the kind of person 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:05.560 that's that's kind of timid. So they will back away 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:07.120 from a challenge. I don't see does is the one 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:08.800 that will back away from a challenge. He does is 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:11.559 one that will attack it. Whether it's whether he will 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:14.160 still point to the things that said that says he's 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.679 successful even though he really isn't. Because you asked him 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:18.439 about last year, he probably wouldn't tell you that he 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:20.599 didn't have a great year, right, But the fact of 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:23.080 the matter is I don't think he I don't think 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:25.120 he's a kind of personality that would back away from 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:28.200 that challenge just because other people saying he wasn't great. Aw, 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.800 he's just not signed with anyone. Yeah, and I'm sure 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:33.120 there's been opportunities. I just don't know what it is, man, 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:35.079 what's the reason? I just I think deep down he 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.320 doesn't really want to play. Well the well I don't. 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:40.319 I hope you're wrong, because the football fan in me 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:42.679 wants to see him play. Yeah. I would be so 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:46.640 excited if he signed with the Patriots or the Saints 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:50.160 or really the Browns, anybody where he could be a 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:52.480 future nurs I think if he went to the Packers, 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:54.880 I think he would have a really I think that's 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.240 the one place in the league where he could actually 0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:01.200 go in and have an impact immediately. Regardless it hasn't happened. 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:04.920 You have to ask yourself why it hasn't happened when 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.560 partially maybe he wants to play under his circumstances, maybe 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:09.480 there's not that many teams who think he can help them. 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.439 I don't know. The other point I want to make 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:17.520 is that what's different from April to now, like what 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.400 changed here in Dallas, So you could well the offense 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:22.360 looks like crap. The wide receivers aren't any good. Like 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:24.920 the Cowboys knew exactly what they were signing up for 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:26.599 when they did this, Like I can go pull you 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.760 the sound clips from May when they were like, it's 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:32.120 gonna be on Zeke to play well until these receivers 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.679 find their footings, Like we know we're facing stack boxes. 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.040 We know these guys, you know they gotta We're gonna 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.199 have to have a wide receiver step up. Like it's 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:41.880 not like they were expecting these guys to be magical 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:45.520 Pro bowlers from the word go. And all of the 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:47.719 people who signed off on cutting him are still here. 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:50.520 And all of the players who supposedly were okay with 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:53.760 it are still here too, except for Jason Witten, well 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:57.680 a couple of I mean that Travis Frederick is still 0:11:57.760 --> 0:11:59.760 in the building, Shaan Lee is still in the building, 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.319 Snake lead, whatever, hurt, whatever you want to call on. 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:05.040 I mean, they're here, they still play for the team. 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:09.240 I just I don't think anything's different from the day 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:12.640 that they just made the decision. Yeah, so well, credit 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:16.480 to him to keeping it live and keeping it's always 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:19.439 fun the expeculations going in. But it was interesting. Even 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:22.880 last week he was tweeting some stuff about battling was 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:26.120 a depression or anxiety, anxiety, anxiety, and it's just like 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:28.439 there was a I don't know, there's just a lot 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.280 of it was I don't remember the exact quote, but 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.439 he was just talking about going through a period of 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:35.880 anxiety where he's experienced a lot of anxiety and that 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.199 kind of stuff, and I don't know, it just I 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.440 think there's a lot of retrospect there's a lot of retrospectiveness, 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:43.640 if that's a word coming from death right now, Like, 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:48.360 I think he's probably coming to terms with the idea 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:51.560 that maybe he's not as valued around the league as 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:55.719 he thought he was. Like people aren't. People aren't just 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:57.719 saying we will give you what you want, We just 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.640 want you on our team. And so I think that's 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.200 there's probably some of that that happens with every professional 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:07.120 athlete that has always been the top when he gets 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:09.400 to the point where he realizes everybody doesn't see him 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:12.320 as the top, right So I don't know, I wonder 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:13.920 if some of that's happened. And that's my point. I mean, 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.760 it's easier to just not play and not be exposed 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:21.320 because of what the character that he's kind of created, 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:23.439 and it's it's tough to go back on that and 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:26.000 just be this guy that's kind of hanging on. And 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.600 I think that's what Jason Witten did not ever want 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.160 to do, is to play like that when you're in 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:33.719 a liability And it was getting kind of close, and 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:35.679 I mean, he still made the Pro Bowls last year, 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:37.240 but it was getting kind of close. He was getting 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.959 penalties a lot, off sides, whatever, and I think he 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:42.480 was like, this is better to go do this. And 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:45.400 that's just in the thing about it. As former players, 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.400 they they may may or not missed the game, but 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:50.960 most of them missed the spotlight. And that's the thing 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:53.400 Dez is gonna continue to be. You saw you said, 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:55.760 did you see on social media? Was at the other 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.480 night when whenever the Drake Drake concert was happening, or 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:01.360 a bunch of fans there and they were all throwing 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:03.600 up the ax for days, and you know, you could 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:06.160 see in his face that there was just that moment 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.679 of and it's cool, I kind of missed this, you know, 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:12.280 and you throughout the yeah, no doubt, but I'm just saying, 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.680 like that's the part that gets to what you're saying 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:19.360 is missing, that that adulation that you get, that feedback 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:22.160 you get from fans of you're the man. You know 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.200 that that could be hard. I would assume you know. 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:28.040 I'll bet you might paycheck that neither Terrence Williams nor 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:31.040 Dez Bryant registers a catch for the Cowboys on Sunday night, 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:36.320 this coming Sunday. Yeah, right, who are you betting with it? 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:38.480 By the way, I'm just anybody. I'll take her, your 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:40.360 your best I mean, your your text is out there 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:42.040 at this point. So at this point, if one of 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.720 those things happened this time, we will take we will 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:46.600 take your check and decide how we want to disperse 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:50.240 it sure throughout, just hey, disperse it throughout that. There's 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:52.080 no risk in this for us. So I'm in on that. 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:54.320 I'm good with that. God, I hope I don't reco 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:56.200 I was about to say, this is gonna be really 0:14:56.560 --> 0:15:02.280 interesting Friday Friday morning, like breaking pretty funny.

That's why the Cowboys rely on more than 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:48.160 staffs and scouting reports when building their team. When picking 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:50.560 a tractor, it's why you should rely on more than 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:52.960 specs and features as well. You got to take it 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:55.480 out and put it to the test the Cowboys did 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:58.960 when they named John Deer their official tractor.

Second segment of the show. Does someone have 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:18.960 something to talk about, an ad or something underwear? Jack Black? 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:24.440 Second break, we've been doining the two Okay, then forget that. 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.680 Let's go into the Texans offense. And I wanted to 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:30.560 break it into two parts. First of all, let's start 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:34.760 off with the quarterback and their O line. Let's start 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:40.080 off with their quarterback. Indeed, Amber because DeShawn Deshaun Watson 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:43.960 is a fun player. Um, I don't know where do 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:46.119 I want to start with this? Honestly, you know, I 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:49.760 mean we all watched the Chiefs um Broncos game on 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:53.480 Monday night, getting a lot of the same stuff in 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:57.080 Deshaun Watson. Honestly, I mean, I know. Pat Mahomes is 0:17:57.119 --> 0:17:59.600 like off to this insane start. The Texans are one 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:02.560 in three. It feels weird to compare him, but you're talking. 0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:05.199 They were drafted on one spot away from each other, 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:09.880 big live arm guy with mobility, and they've tailored their 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:13.920 offense to suit him. Um, this looks like a college offense. 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:16.640 Like it looks I wrote, it looks very chief. See 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:19.879 this is Chief See yeah, it's this is an offense 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:23.280 full of motion. There's a wide receiver moving through the 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:27.560 backfield before every single snap. I mean, Watson's in the 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:30.879 shotgun way more often than he's under center. Uh. There's 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:33.160 a read option element to damn near everything he does. 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:36.720 Like it. It is a common sight to see, like 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:40.080 you know, a wide receiver move across the formation, takes 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:42.440 the snap, does the read with the running back and 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:45.960 the wide receiver too. Just again, God, I wish the 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:47.960 Cowboys would do this type of stuff more often because 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:51.040 you can see it. The defense has to read and 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:53.000 react just that little bit before they know where the 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:56.840 ball is going. I love your hand signals. Yeah, your 0:18:56.880 --> 0:19:00.680 foot came up, pick your foot up. Thanks. I appreciate that, 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:03.359 the signal that you're ready for the ball. Right. No, 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:06.960 I mean DeShawn Watson is, he's he's crazy. I mean 0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:10.800 he's he's mobile, He's mobile mobile, He's got a really 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:13.840 strong arm. Uh, he is. He is a threat to 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:16.720 run and throw even more than Dak And to be 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:19.320 bluntly honest, I think the Texans know how to use 0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:22.240 his skill set a little bit better than the Cowboys do. Um. 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:26.119 He has run the ball twenty four times this season 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:28.840 for an average of six point seven yards per carry. 0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:33.600 He's also been sacked seventeen times. But he said today himself, Yes, 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:35.760 their offensive line is bad. Since you asked about that, 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:39.719 it's it's real bad. Um. They don't have a left tackle. Basically, 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:42.639 they're trying to find an answer between Julian Davenport and 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:47.400 Martinez Rankin uh Nick Martin Zach's little brother is good 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:50.560 at center. But like, this is not an offensive line 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:54.360 worth getting excited about, which they're only averaging three point 0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:56.879 nine yards per carry when their running backs take the 0:19:56.920 --> 0:19:59.320 ball like it's it's not a strength of their game. 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:02.080 But watts and can make up for that. Like I said, 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:04.560 he's six point seven yards per carry. He's also got 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:07.600 the mobility to get away from it, he said himself today. 0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:09.960 He runs himself into sacks a lot of times too. 0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:13.399 I think I watched the Colts game yesterday, and I 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:16.320
