Speaker 1: guy y what's going on? Everything is rolling here and

16
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: it's kind of a unique time. Have you guys ever

17
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: seen since they've moved to the Star, which was last

18
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: year of first full season here, have they practice outdoors

19
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: on a Thursday. I don't think they have not during

20
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: the season. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I haven't seen it. I

21
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: haven't seen a Thursday practice. I've seen a move inside

22
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday, right, absolutely, but yeah, not to go

23
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: outside a Thursday, and good for the coach. Taken advantage

24
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: of the conditions a little bit. Let everybody work with

25
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: their handwarmer packs, you know, around their waist, run routes

26
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: with them, you know, whatever they have to do. Explain

27
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: that a little rob, Why what is the background of this?

28
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: I know you were there for Garrett. Oh, it's basically

29
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: the exact forecast for Sunday noon Central time, one eastern

30
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: at the Meadowlands. It's gonna be probably a high of forty,

31
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna be cold, it's gonna be windy, and that's

32
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: kind of significant to us right now because it's been

33
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: it's been in the seventies recently and now it's finally dip.

34
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: So it's an opportunity to kind of simulate what it's

35
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: gonna be like. And everybody knows Brian been around the

36
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: league a long time. Meadowlands where it's MetLife or the

37
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: Old Giant Stadium, those wins are unpredictable and so can't

38
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: hurt to kind of get out in that a little

39
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: bit during the week yeah, I think again, it gives

40
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: you an opportunity is, as we know, a turf field,

41
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: so you won't have the problems like if you were

42
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: to go to a grass field like in Chicago or

43
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,839
Speaker 1: San Francisco or one of those places, So you don't

44
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: have to ur Green Bay, I don't have to worry

45
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: about that. Footing will be good. Yeah, it just gets

46
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 1: you an idea to work with. Okay, what kind of

47
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: cool weather gears should I wear during the game. Maybe

48
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna want to try a different pair of sleeves.

49
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: Maybe you want to say, hey, these tights tend to

50
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 1: work with me better. So you know, get an opportunity

51
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: to go through that. Go through your gloves again, go

52
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: through your handwarmer packs that the receivers skill guys generally wear,

53
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: you know, the things around their waist. Kind of practice

54
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: with that on a little bit, so, you know, because

55
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: you don't get an opportunity to wear those very often,

56
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you put them on in

57
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: a game and you're feeling like, okay, do I have

58
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: to keep turning this thing around? How do how do

59
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: I adjust it? And all that. So just a good

60
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: way to maybe go with some skullcap two under your helmet.

61
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: That's something you always don't get to wear very often,

62
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: as you know you're going forward. All that being said,

63
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: it's going to be the Bahamas up there. Compared to

64
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: last year. Oh my goodness. I was just gonna say,

65
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: you know, we're all there for Mickey's birthday party Sunday

66
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: Night Football. It was a great time. It was snowing

67
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: on your birthday. And you know when we're are we

68
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: up there December eleventh last year for the Giants game,

69
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: So night Football, Happy last year birthday? Make yeahs I

70
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: have another one coming up, yeah, certainly, and brought us

71
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: the next day. Yeah, and then I'm in a couple

72
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: of days after that. He's not on our show, so

73
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: we don't care about him. Yeah, oh shot fired. Yeah,

74
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: I'm kidding. Of course, Dave's birthdays also next week, and

75
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: Tyrn Smiths and offered Morris right, Happy birthday everyone regardless.

76
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: We're standing there and Zeke and Dak did not wear sleeves.

77
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: Yeah they didn't. Yeah, well that was kind of that

78
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: was kind of that was kind of Dak's bit, like

79
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: during the year, I mean in Pittsburgh he didn't wear

80
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: sleeves either. And that game was kind of maybe a

81
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: little bit of a chili game, but yeah, that was

82
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think he'll wear sleeps, which

83
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: is funny because he practices in a hoodie. He wears

84
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: a regular hoodie underneath his shoulder pads when he practices,

85
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: so trying to send a message. It doesn't bother me.

86
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't bother me. Yeah, I can be just fine.

87
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: And O eight it was six degrees in Pittsburgh and

88
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: Romo went out like that, and Roethlisberger, who lives there,

89
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: was like, didn't have Smo had everything on in his locker. Yeah,

90
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: everything everything on. Mickey went out for a pregame radio

91
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: show for three hours on the field. Yeah in third

92
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: person right now, yes, since they were naming all the

93
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: names that were out there. Oh my goodness. And I

94
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: had everything on I could wear, and my voice was

95
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: shaking by time we got to the second hour. I

96
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: just can I say something. It was brutal. Hey, you

97
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: weren't with us we went to Chicago. No, No, but

98
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: I've heard of it. You weren't there either, were you? Nope, Mickey,

99
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: I think that's the coldest. And I lived in Green

100
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: Bay for five years I think that's the coldest I've

101
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: ever been for a football. A game that Steve Dennis

102
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,679
Speaker 1: and I did pregame TV and my face was slush.

103
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: I was trying to talk about Sean Lee and I

104
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: couldn't even get the words out. But that's that. That's

105
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: night in Chicago when it was five degrees and the

106
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: wind chew and all that. That might have been the

107
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: coldest I've ever been for a football. I went out

108
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: to do a pregame TV spot. Scott was going to

109
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: shoot it and send it back so the stations could

110
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: get it by the Lake five and six. No, we

111
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: did it in the stadium, right, And so I'm standing

112
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,559
Speaker 1: there and got my clothes on and everything. Scott goes,

113
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: it's wrong with your eyes. I go, what do you

114
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: mean it's wrong with my eyes? He goes, your eyes

115
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: something that's weird. And I reached up and the tears

116
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: that were tear ducks started leaking and they were freezing,

117
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: like I had icicles on your face, my eyes. That's

118
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: how cold it was. Mickey was cold. Say it. Vicky

119
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: was cold. He was also cold. In nineteen ninety seven

120
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: when they played the Packers and got their butts beat

121
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: and ended the season. Yeah, we've done a full weather report,

122
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: Yes we have. I just want to make sure. I

123
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: just want to make sure everybody understands what cold is. No,

124
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: we know, And a lot of people were probably calling us,

125
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: are like, hey, yeah, I live here up here in

126
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 1: the north, y'all don't know in Texas? Right? Was it

127
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: ever cold in New Mexico? Yes, there are mountains there,

128
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: say okayype, we had many snow days growing up, and

129
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: I was born in Colorado Springs. Just to make sure

130
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: you knew cold. Injury report, injury report. Let's get to it.

131
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: So everybody's injured. Well, it was a Wednesday, let's preface that.

132
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: So let's get to the Cowboys first. And of course

133
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: we already knew about Lyle Collins, David Irving, and Orlando Scandrick.

134
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: But give us the full update. Macau sounds like they're

135
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: going to try and do the same thing with Lele

136
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: Collins they did last week. No practice this week and

137
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: hopefully get him to the game and be able to play.

138
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: Durant I was going to say he's out. He hasn't

139
00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: practiced twice. David Irving sign like he wasn't going to

140
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: practice practice, continue to do something on the sideline. He

141
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: did that yesterday. So from a concussion standpoint, you keep

142
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: doing those things until, uh you you're don't have symptoms

143
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: after working out. So I think there's still hope for him.

144
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: I don't know about you guys. Yeah, I'm going with

145
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: you on this one. Scandrick's out. Yeah, I mean, even

146
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: if they haven't ruled him out, he's ruled himself out

147
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: just talking to him. Sure, he can tell the way

148
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: he was responding. Need some time with that pleasant demeanor. Uh.

149
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: Dak's good. Um, you know, he tried to practice with

150
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: some kind of bandage on the back of his hand

151
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: and it came off and back on good information. I

152
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: mean he needs some protection, I would think on that.

153
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: But other than that from throwing the football, I think

154
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: he's good. Uh. Tyrant Smith a little something today as

155
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: that would Yes, Yeah, I think. So he's back. He's

156
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: back out there. Uh and so they're they're back to

157
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: normal with him taking Wednesday off. So yeah, So I

158
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,239
Speaker 1: think that kind of sums it up. Seawan Lee's cool.

159
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: He's good to go, coolio and he had quite the

160
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: night last year on your birthday? Was that as present

161
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: to you? That's right? I think he might have the

162
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: same thing this week. Maybe twenty six set the record,

163
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: set his own record or whatever own record he owns.

164
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: Get ready, and you know what. The Giants have some

165
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: injury problems also, as a matter of fact, they decided

166
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: yesterday to put their linebacker Jonathan can see Us on

167
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: injured reserve. Yeah, that's six Giants on i R and

168
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: the last week. Yeah, he's pretty beat up. They signed

169
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: Darius Poe, a wide receiver off their practice squad. Yeah,

170
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: how Poley's had a Carl Poe a wide receiver in

171
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: that But yeah, I think that to me, the one,

172
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: the key for the Cowboys right here is the Scandric one.

173
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: And how do you play around that one? You know?

174
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: And and you know, if you you may want to

175
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 1: speculate who would like to be the Who's going to

176
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: be the starter at that right corner spot. Lewis I think,

177
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: so Joan Lewis over Anthony Brown then, right, unless they

178
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: want to give Brown another shot, But I would I

179
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: would guess Lewis at this point keep Brown in the

180
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: role that he had last week. All right, think about

181
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: this now, guy jarn Lewis and Brown helping out in

182
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: the slot. Yeah, How about this though, if what if

183
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: it go again with Xavier Woods? You have three rookie

184
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: starters on the field. That's what's gonna happen in the secondary.

185
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: Get ready for that. That's what that's that's the way

186
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: the play is gonna go. He'll be if they opened

187
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: up in three wide and the Cowboys are in nicol

188
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: I think they liked the way Woods played in the

189
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: slot last week. Yeah, I think they'll continue. No reason

190
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: to change it. Hey, that's what they signed up for

191
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: ye in this offseason, young secondary. This is the first

192
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: time we've seen him all three on the field. That's time. No,

193
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: it's the last week. Last week. Was last week, last

194
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: week when they wep dying. Yeah, Woods went in the slot, Yeah,

195
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: or went back Yeah, Denver maybe week two we might

196
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: have seen him briefly. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah. Now

197
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: they're all all healthy, so yeah. Interesting. But hey, you

198
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: guys spoke to yesterday. Giants receivers banged up, so offensive

199
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: line banged up. Yeah, their whole offense is banged up,

200
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Yeah. How you know on the

201
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: other side for them, how big is it that Jenorris

202
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: Jenkins isn't in this game? For the huge I mean

203
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: he's kryptonite DEAs. Oh yeah he is. He's the jack Rabbit. Yeah.

204
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: This is the one thing when you play Daz that

205
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: he's got some guys in this league that know how

206
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: to play against him, and Jenorris Jenkins is one of

207
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: those guys. Yeah. I think he has to be elated

208
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: that Jenkins is not going to be part of this one.

209
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: Did he follow Daz in week one? I thought he did. Yes. Yeah,

210
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: so and now you got Eli Apple on their injury

211
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 1: report he didn't practice with a hip back. Hello, Hello,

212
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: Hello Hello. Brandon Dixon and Ross Cockrell, those are two

213
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,080
Speaker 1: cornerbacks you do have to worry about landing Colin and

214
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: Stough always, you always have to worry about leanning, especially

215
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 1: in the run game. There you go, because he'll be

216
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,599
Speaker 1: right the right there. That's exactly right. He's one of

217
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: the That's a great point Tall you made because he's

218
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: the one guy you don't account for. He's that extra

219
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: guy down and he can secure the front, you know,

220
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: in this front sometimes makes it very difficult, and Pierre

221
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: Paul makes it difficult. Vernon makes it Olivia Vernon makes

222
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: it difficult. Dalvin Tomlinson's playing better for him thing in Snacks, Harrison,

223
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: we all know them now. The Giants have had their

224
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: their problems defensively, They're not as good as they've been before.

225
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: But those are still guys that the Cowboys history historically

226
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: have had some bad issues against. And I think they've

227
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: been in situations defensively too. I think this is one

228
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: where you look at the stats and say their defense

229
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: is better than what it's showing. I mean, I think

230
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: they're last in the NFL. They're more talented than that.

231
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: Their defense has been on the field a lot that. Yeah,

232
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: look at look at the time of possession. I believe

233
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: they're last in the league on that. So, yeah, they've

234
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: had a lot of problems. Well, all I know is

235
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 1: their thirty second in total yards three ninety eight a game. Yea,

236
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: So their last in run defense one hundred and thirty

237
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: points seven. They've gone ahead of the Chargers in that. Yeah,

238
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: thirtieth in past defense two sixty point two. They're twenty

239
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: seventh in sacks they only have twenty one, and they're

240
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 1: twenty third in points allowed twenty four point three. And

241
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: the only reason I know that is the article in

242
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: the Newark Paper was pointing out that with numbers like that,

243
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: there's no way interim head coach Steve Spagnulo is going

244
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: to become the head coach. Yeah, because they've had defensive problems,

245
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: and those were the problems, he pointed, But did they

246
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: had defensive problems last year? They were allowing no, not

247
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: too many points defense, They were second against the so

248
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 1: he compared it. They were tenth overall in defense, second

249
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: or third against the run, and their sacks were far

250
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: far up. Well. Remember Dallas finished one sack ahead of

251
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: them right during the season, and they were like midpack sacks.

252
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: So but yeah, but I think if you look at

253
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 1: third down defense was outstanding, red zone defense was outstanding, inside,

254
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: the thirty was outside. I mean, they had a lot

255
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 1: of things that were going very very well for them defensively,

256
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: and everybody was kind of on Ben McAdoo because they

257
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: weren't scoring any points, but they were finding ways to

258
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: win games, you know, and a lot of it had

259
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: to do with what Spagnola was able to do defensively.

260
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: They just haven't been as good and the injuries I

261
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: think have a lot to do with what's going on

262
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: there right now, you know, with that situation, I mean,

263
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: did they lose linebackers, Is that what they've lost. Yeah,

264
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: the front seven has been compromised with the linebacker situation.

265
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: You talked about it though. I mean they're playing with

266
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: guys like I could say Calvin Munson who was a

267
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: college free agent on a street free agent last year,

268
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: you know, b J. Goodson. I mean just guys I

269
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: mean to me, they are They put two linebackers on

270
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: IR last week, Yante Skinner, Curtis Grant. Yeah, so their depth. Yeah,

271
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 1: those guys aren't start well. They're death's been compromised a

272
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: little bit. Rotation guys offense, Look, Giants offense is struggled,

273
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Two games ago against Washington, they

274
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: had five possessions in the second half and didn't get

275
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: past the thirty two yard line. Yeah. I mean that's

276
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: you know, you're putting your defense in some tough spots there.

277
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: Defense can get off the field. Yeah. Yeah. If that problems, no,

278
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: that's all great stuff. And we actually I was looking

279
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: at some of our tour questions. We have one from

280
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: our good friend Nebbie and he says, Hi, Ron, if

281
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: lyall Collins does plan on plane on Sunday, what will

282
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: we help Chaz or Byron Block, JPP and Vernon. Of

283
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: course he's talking about Byron Bell. I think you're Smith

284
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: is left tackle and Collins will beat your right tackle.

285
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: I think you'll be okay there. I don't see them

286
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: having to help either one of those guys JPP or

287
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: you know, Olive Vernon. That's a matchup I wrote about

288
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: today with Smith. Smith's Vernon's one guy. It's given Smith

289
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: trouble throughout history. Trouble, you know, just some sometimes you know,

290
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: you you have guys that kind of get on you

291
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: that way. But uh, yeah, I don't I don't see

292
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: Collins will be I think they'll. I think they'll both

293
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: play him straight up. Now that to say they don't

294
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: get in twelve personal thirteen personal, yeah, because that's kind

295
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: of the way they run the football. So yeah, that's

296
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: I don't see, and he just okay, we're gonna help.

297
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: I will say this though, I think they have to

298
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: be alert of the Giants trying to blitz though. Giants

299
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: are a gap a gap team blitz team, So keep

300
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: an eye on how they use tight ends here, you know,

301
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: keep an idea. Does does that mean Witton, Hannah Swain,

302
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: do they become backfield players instead of playing on the line.

303
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: If you're gonna deal with a team, it's double a

304
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: gap blitz and you you might put an extra guy

305
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: in there to help, like, you know, help Alfred, you know,

306
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: bring a guy in there to also help with the

307
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: protection inside. Cousin, Steve likes to blitz. Yeah, he likes

308
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: to bring pressure. He does, and he has everywhere he's

309
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: been and not just this team or this instance or

310
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: this quarterback. It's from the Jim Johnson program in Philadelphia

311
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: and that's where they did it last to him, absolutely,

312
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: and he'll do it again absolutely this time. You know.

313
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: One thing Lyle said to us a couple interesting things.

314
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: One he thought in the Redskins game, he was a

315
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: little more comfortable because he'd seen them already once Preston Smith,

316
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: Ryan Kerrigan. It's his first go around this season as

317
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: the right tackle. He faced the Giants and JPP in

318
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: Week one, So right, that's that's a familiarity that can

319
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: help him. Also, I thought was interesting he told us

320
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: this back injury he thinks in a way has helped

321
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: him play a little more patient trust technique a little

322
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: bit more because one thing that we've talked about him

323
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: and maybe it's that guard mentality where things happen a

324
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: little quicker inside. Is he's over aggressive sometimes at tackle, right,

325
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: and he was able to just kind of rely on

326
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: his technique more instead of being so proactive. I guess

327
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: at tackle in the Redskins game. Now you want him healthy,

328
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: but I think he's growing in that area. Yeah, well,

329
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: let's take our first break here. When we come back,

330
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: we will have more from you guys. Of course, Dak said,

331
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: playoff starts now, so we'll get into that. And we

332
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: do have John Schmilk. I hope I said that right. Yes,

333
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna try and give us a call. So hopefully

334
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: our phones will be very forgiving and clear, so don't

335
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: be calling in at twelve ten. Yeah, yep, that's when

336
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: we need John to give us the update of all

337
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: the madness that is the Giants right now. So join

338
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: us when we come back after this break. It can

339
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: be hard to find the right resource for learning about

340
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,240

341

361
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: Having a Cowboys football party without Doctor Pepper is like

362
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,880

386
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: Probably just went out to get into the playoffs this year,

387
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: and he said yesterday in the locker room, the playoffs start. Now.

388
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: I think everyone at this table all agrees with that statement,

389
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 1: at least for their chances to even make it there.

390
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it actually started last week. Yeah,

391
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: and they got to win last week, and so they

392
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: get to keep moving on. And this might, at the

393
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 1: end of the day, might be the best thing that

394
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: can happen to this football team that they keep having

395
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,959
Speaker 1: to stay focused, keep having to try and win games,

396
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: keep trying to have to get better, whether the Storm

397
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: win games, getting zeek back, hopefully get on a little

398
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: bit of run teams. If there's been teams throughout history

399
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: that have you look at the I use the example

400
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: of the Packers last year. You know, the Packers had

401
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 1: their struggles on defense, they really didn't run the ball

402
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: all that well. Quarterback basically say we're not going to

403
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,959
Speaker 1: lose another game. And what they do and they went

404
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: on a heck of a run and they somehow got in,

405
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: won their division, got a game, got and then one

406
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: of you know, a couple of playoff games. Those are

407
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: the types of things you have to have happened. Now again,

408
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: it's about running the table. They really don't control their

409
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: own faith. They're gonna need some help tonight from the

410
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: Saints to beat Atlanta. They're gonna need some you know,

411
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna need the uh, you know, probably the Rams

412
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: to win. They're gonna need some. There's some other games

413
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 1: this week, and there's a list of them that you

414
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: can go through. But as long as you keep winning,

415
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: you give yourself a chance. And that's where he's talking about.

416
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: It's a playoff game every week. I looked it up.

417
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: Since two thousand and two when they realigned the divisions,

418
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: it's been fifteen years. There's been six teams that have

419
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: made the playoffs without gotten a wildcard, not winning their

420
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: division with less than ten wins. So it's it's rare,

421
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: it's not common. And so that means you probably need

422
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 1: to win out, yeah, and get some help. Is it probably?

423
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: Or you have to win it out. I think you have.

424
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: I think you have to win out away. Everybody's gonna

425
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: lose that. Yeah, I mean it's is it impossible nov

426
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: but yeah probably yes, Yeah, And I thought, you know

427
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: they Dak was like, hey, if if you're a competitor,

428
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: you gotta love this. Yeah, this is what you want. Well,

429
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna I think it's gonna come down. You're gonna

430
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: have to maybe win two very important games at the

431
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: end of the year. Because I keep saying this, I

432
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 1: don't think Philadelphia is going to have this home field

433
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: wrapped up. I don't. I think if the Saints keep

434
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: winning and the Vikings keep winning, that's gonna put pressure

435
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: on Philadelphia to have to win. You know, They've got

436
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: a tough game this weekend against the Rams. They really

437
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: really do. So let's see if how that all plays out.

438
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: But if you're accounting on Philadelphia being thirteen and whatever

439
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: and just sitting everybody, I don't think that's going to

440
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: be the case. Yeah, I really don't. Even if they are,

441
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna say I don't want to see Zeke in January.

442
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 1: Sure they're not. So yeah, you can't count on that. Yeah. Now,

443
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: now the Eagles can be limping into this thing. I

444
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: mean they could be, you know, they also Vikings or

445
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: the Saints Yeah, the Saints. I mean you look at

446
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: the Vikings in the way they're playing right now. I

447
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: mean they're doing it. They go to Atlanta and don't

448
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 1: give up a passing touchdown to that group. Okay, got

449
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: my attention, you know. And and then the quarterback doesn't

450
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: make mistakes. It kind of sounds very familiar to this

451
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 1: team last year. Hot hand quarterback. He's a replacement. He

452
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: doesn't make mistakes. Team's winning coach is really good, doing

453
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: a nice job. Yeah, get ready. That that defense is

454
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: really good. Yeah, that that Eagles game is going to

455
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: mean something at the end. I have a feeling, oh joy. Yeah.

456
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: And so a new year. I thought, you know, when

457
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: you when you look at it, and I know a

458
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 1: lot of people probably think, well, boy, that's a lot

459
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: of pressure if they're thinking that way. I thought Anthony

460
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: Hitchins had the right attitude. He said, Hey, my goal

461
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: is to be one and oh this week. Yeah, And

462
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: that's the way you got to look at it. Can't

463
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 1: be looking at the big picture. The big picture will

464
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: overwhelm you. But you just got to take it one

465
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: week at a time. I gotta just win this one

466
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: and then forget about the two you won. And now

467
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: I gotta win one and don't worry about the three more.

468
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: You gotta win. It's terrible radio to do it that way,

469
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: but yeah, well let's players, I understand us. We gotta

470
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: kind of look at the big picture. That's the Jason

471
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: Garrett Montrat day to day Dak said, Na Dak narrated

472
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: down further than that. He said, we're gonna win a

473
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: practice today when it practice tomorrow, and then we're gonna

474
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: try to give ourselves the best chance. Yeah, and it's

475
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 1: almost funny, you know, you talk about how young this

476
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: team is and how many rookies are starting and playing

477
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: such large rules for this team. I wonder if that's

478
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: such a benefit right now for Hey, they don't know

479
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: what to expect. All they know is what they're doing

480
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: right now. You know, most of them are done playing

481
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 1: their college football seasons at this point right preparing for

482
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: a bowl game. So it's kind of nice. Like you said, Mick, Hey,

483
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: it can get overwhelming if you're like, oh, we would

484
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: be playing until January. Well, some of these guys, I mean,

485
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: when you're in college, isn't this the way it goes? Yeah,

486
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: you almost got to win everything you do otherwise you're

487
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: not in the playoffs, right if you're in an elite program.

488
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: So especially like with with the guys like Lewis Soup

489
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: Michigan and then a Woosia got the experience at Colorado

490
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: trying to get in in a PAC twelve situation. I

491
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: mean yeah, and the eyes at Ohio State guys that

492
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: are exactly so yeah, I mean it's no different that

493
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: that one. I mean, you basically start off a season.

494
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: They probably don't say it, but we better go twelve

495
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: and oh otherwise we're getting left out. Let's it's a

496
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 1: it's a terrible system, but that's what it is. Definitely

497
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: a ze Gilliett knows that life. He knows that life

498
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: pretty well. Dak was still pretty much in the BCS

499
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 1: era when he was number one at Mississippi State, So

500
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: you're right, I may yeah. I was just saying, you know,

501
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: it gets it is almost a small advantage, like, hey,

502
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: they don't know what to expect. Just win this week.

503
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: That's all you need to know. You don't need to

504
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: do all the math like everyone loves to do. I've

505
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: seeing some people are like I've spent two hours doing

506
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: different playoffs scenarios with the Cowboys. I'm like, just live today.

507
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: It's fun to talk about. But yeah, if they don't

508
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: win Sunday, then it's all it's all moot. So you

509
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 1: gotta take care of business. Yeah, and n Actually, guys,

510
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: you know it's funny we're sitting here last year and

511
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys that clinched their playoff spot waiting to clinch

512
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: the NFC East and the Jacksonville Jaguars can actually clinch

513
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: their playoff spot this weekend. Really. Yeah, they have to

514
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: beat Seattle and a few other teams have to have

515
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: to lose Saxonville. Mick, they've come a long way. As

516
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: I still getting sacks or is it still living off

517
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: that ten sack game? They're getting sacks. I'll tell you what.

518
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: THO would be interesting. This will be interesting because of

519
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: the Seahawks going all the way across the country to

520
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 1: play this game. The old Seahawks leave today today on

521
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: a Thursday. Yeah absolutely, wow, Yeah, they will they will leave.

522
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: They will leave actually leave two days early, is what

523
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: they How long is that fly? Like? Five hours? I

524
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 1: did it Jacksonville to I did it seven hours going.

525
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: I did it that just scout a game when I

526
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 1: was working with Jacksonville. Took me seven hours to get

527
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: across the country to get to that game. Wow. Yeah,

528
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: and so I you know, coming back here, it's a

529
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 1: little quicker because of the Jets stream stuff. But yeah,

530
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 1: it's a Seattle traditionally travels. I shouldn't say two days

531
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: to travel a day early. So if there's gonna be

532
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 1: there Sat, they'll leave Friday, I'm sorry, they'll leave tomorrow

533
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 1: to get there. Yeah, and then have a walk through

534
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: and then do all that stuff. But that's that's that's

535
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 1: what John Snyder and them do. That's Pete Carroll. But

536
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: you're you're a Jacksonville fan this week. Yeah, you're absolutely

537
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: you're hoping that you're hoping that they get to Russell Wilson,

538
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: knock him around a little bit, you know, get a

539
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: bunch of sacks, get to fifty. They got forty five. Yeah,

540
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: you want a number number five Seattle, not a number

541
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 1: three Seattle Seed. Yeah, because if you would have to

542
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: go up there, and I don't think this team's fearful

543
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: about going to Seattle anymore, makes sense, Well, not fearful

544
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: a couple years ago. If you had Zeke. We'll see

545
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: what happens when he comes back. We'll see if Zeke's

546
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: in shape and if if it means something. But I

547
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: just don't get the feeling that Dallas is scared about

548
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 1: playing in Seattle. You know what, if you get in,

549
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to travel somewhere loud and somewhere. Saints Saints, Minnesota,

550
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: Soota and Seattle are arguably the three loudest places in

551
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: the NFL. Near Minnesota Stadium is very loud. Yeah, i'd

552
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: like to see you guys get on a plan and

553
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: go to LA. That's what I was gonna say. Yeah,

554
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: it couldn't be one hundred thousand people in the coliseum

555
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: and seventy five thousand of them Cowboy fans. That could

556
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: probably happen. Also, Yeah, speaking of LA, still thinking of

557
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: you guys out there are just gets worse and worse,

558
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: and we're so sorry to see that. So ye, man,

559
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: what a game for them too, the Rams this week

560
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: and Eagles have been there all week training in Anaheim.

561
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean it's that's a huge game. Go Rams.

562
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: I mean you hating all that smoky air, Yeah, you

563
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: just this is the fun time of year. You got

564
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: four games left. You gotta figure it out. You gotta

565
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: find a way to win games. You gotta worry about yourself,

566
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: but in this case, you're gonna need some help. Yeah.

567
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: Dave was saying yesterday, you know, he's like, oh man,

568
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: all these great games around the NFC this weekend. You know,

569
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 1: luckily you get one to now on Thursday night football,

570
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: he goes and we got to watch the Giants Cowboys,

571
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: and I was like, that should be the best game

572
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: for you, because that ultimately decides if you're sitting on

573
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 1: your couch on January sixth or if you're going to

574
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: a game. So even though it's not probably the sexiest

575
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: matchup this weekend, it means a lot. Yeah, it's a

576
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: playoff game. Yeah, essentially, Yeah, it's your life. Yeah life.

577
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: Oh you can plan this is your life. Yeah. See

578
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: that's what I alway die. You know you kind of

579
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: laugh at that, but I you're sitting out of the

580
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: side of that building and you do feel that one.

581
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: I mean, there's not many know you really do. This

582
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: has happened. I mean, you know, and you hope coming

583
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: back that plane, when you guys go walking through the

584
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: front of that plane, you hope that all those loosened

585
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: ties are smiling or smiling because you you know, you've

586
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: seen it, You've got on those airplanes before after a

587
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: bad loss or you know something like that. I mean,

588
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: it is it takes a part of you. What I mean,

589
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: George Allen said, a little bit inside of you dies,

590
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: you know, not not like your liver, but just a

591
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: little bit. You know, he gives you one of those.

592
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: But you do you put so much into this season

593
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: and then when things don't work out, you know, when

594
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: that hope is taken away. Man, it's tough. I mean,

595
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: think about it. Since two thousand and six, the Cowboys,

596
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: those of us that were here, only twice have we

597
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: known that the season was going to end right before

598
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: it ended. Yeah, and both those times were like the

599
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: twenty ten and twenty fifteen right, everything else went down

600
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: to either a playoff game or the last game of

601
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: the season. Yeah, and then it just comes to a

602
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,959
Speaker 1: screeching halt, the finality of it all. Yeah. Why has

603
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: it been so funny in the NFC East that no

604
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: player but he's won the division can win it again

605
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: the next year? Well, not since two thousand and four

606
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: when the Eagles won it three in a row. Just

607
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: the way that this league works once gone back to back.

608
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: It's parody. It's you know, there's a it's set up

609
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: to where you can rebound year to year if you

610
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: if you have a good draft, or you get guys

611
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: healthy again, you know, you get a third place. I

612
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: would play schedule you can you can bounce back. I would.

613
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: I would like to believe. I'd like to believe that

614
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys had Ezekiel like the whole season, we might

615
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: have had a shot. I'd like to believe that. Yeah,

616
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: because things were kind of rolling, maybe maybe you maybe

617
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: you're only one game behind Philadelphia. Hey, what a perfect line?

618
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: Am I? How Goodell is still Christmas poem? I'm writing?

619
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: Are you writing one that allowed on the showff Winners? Hey?

620
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: Remember what was? It was what the Chiefs said about

621
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: the Cowboys after they won last game that Zeke played.

622
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: So they're the best team in the NFL that we've seen. Yeah,

623
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: and they played Philly. So that's where the Cowboys were

624
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: before this happened. Yeah, suspension starts, and don't forget that

625
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: this team looked like a contender. It did. That's brutal man.

626
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: I could have been a contend to Yeah, no, I know,

627
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: we're just looking at the Rocky guy over there. But

628
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: it's it's a crazy week this week and it will

629
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: be very exciting. But hopefully the Cowboys just take care

630
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: of business on Sunday. Yeah, we come back here on Monday,

631
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: celebrating Mickey's birthday with a win. Okay, we have another question.

632
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: Last year on the show Dak missing wide receivers down

633
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: the field was a big observation. Does this year's film

634
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: studies show the same or has he improved in that

635
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: area missing receivers down the field? I think he's had

636
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: to missile. He's made some missus on some tight window throws,

637
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: but that's been difficult. That's on the receivers too, for

638
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: not really giving him any separation, you know, I you know,

639
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: you could put a lot of things on Dak, but

640
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: you know, have they have they had to make a

641
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: ton of downfield throws. I mean, does anybody watch any

642
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks? Oh? I mean do they? Yeah? How many?

643
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: How many? I mean, what do you think a completion

644
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: percentage is? What's on the field? Thirty forty yards, fifty yards?

645
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: I think twenty one over twenty I think over twenty

646
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: yards downfield? How mean he could leaded more than sixty

647
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: percent of his passes as a rookie. Sure, yeah, we've

648
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: kind of forgotten that. Do you see he had one

649
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: hundred quarterback rating. Do you see a rookie Do you

650
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: see him missing though? Tight window throws, some tight window throws,

651
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: some tight window throws this year and that and that,

652
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: But weird misses like when he I keep saying this,

653
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: when he misses on the move, I have a bigger

654
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: concern about that because that's his bread and butter right there.

655
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: His ability to throw to his left though is right.

656
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: Like the pass that he thrown, he rolls to his right,

657
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: throws the ball back in the middle of the field

658
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: to Terence Williams. It's too high. He doesn't miss that pass,

659
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: you know, the pass rolling to his left to Beasley

660
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: on the sidelines for for those are too high. Those

661
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: those are the passes I don't see him miss often.

662
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: But see I think, I think when when when he

663
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: misses those, it's not designed to be outside the pocket.

664
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: Some of the boot, the sprint, the sprint, the boots.

665
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: I think he's still good at it when he's getting flushed,

666
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: which has happened more these last three or four weeks,

667
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: and then you're trying to create something instead of run

668
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: the play. I just called I just go back to

669
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: what you know with what Jim Schwartz, the diffence coordinat

670
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, said, he's one of the best quarterbacks thrown

671
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: on the move I've ever seen. And Jim's had a

672
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: long career. He's been in the league since nineteen ninety two,

673
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: so I mean he's to me. That's if you want

674
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: to say he's missed some downfield throws, I don't know

675
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: how many downfield throws he's made. Well you're saying, oh gosh,

676
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: he missed that. I mean I've seen throws. The ones

677
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: on the move had been the ones that have the

678
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: concern that I have concerned for. That's the ones I

679
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: and he missed some easy throws in the Redskins game early,

680
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: and that just told me he's pressing and try to

681
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: make something happen. Because as these three and outs mount,

682
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: I think it puts some pressure on him to complete

683
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: even the easy passes. And I think he was able

684
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: to calm down a little bit. And some of that

685
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: had to do with just running the football better, Yeah,

686
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: more consistent. Just it just makes his life so much easier.

687
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: I wonder if they they really I mean, you study

688
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: those first four possessions and see how he was uncharacteristically inaccurate. Right,

689
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. So maybe you start the

690
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: game and just give him a couple of those those

691
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:24,720
Speaker 1: smoke screens or some easy passes to get him calm down. Yeah,

692
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: get him in rhythm, get a couple of completions, and

693
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, let's go. We don't need a sixteen

694
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: yard dig or anything. What was the passing through to Witton?

695
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: What game was that? It was Snowy passed at Witton caught?

696
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: Is that Philadelphia seven yards? Was that like a little

697
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: like the little spot rowdy through for seven yards? I

698
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: think it was Witt had one catch against I think

699
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: it was the Eagles for seven yards and that was

700
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: the only time. But that that's that's the kind of

701
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 1: play that you know. I remember Mike Holmgan would do

702
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: that with Brett Farr because he'd be so amped up

703
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: for the game. It's kind of him settled in. Troy

704
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: used to be that way. Yeah, throw throw them the

705
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: markshimire seven yards. Okay, now we're settling in. Mike was

706
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,959
Speaker 1: always trying to prevent the rocket ball that it would

707
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: throw and it would go like seven rows deep. It

708
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: was rocketball. It was Philadelphia because they started off with

709
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: the seven yard complete right, and then they deck it

710
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,720
Speaker 1: in three Yeah, and then they ended up punting. Yeah. Yeah,

711
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying that give him, give him the

712
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: opportunity to have that kind of you know, a start,

713
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: give him the cool curl to days. Whatever you have

714
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: to do. You know, the Giants are down secondary wise,

715
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 1: we understand that they don't have their gay. Just get

716
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 1: him going early. If you want to throw the football,

717
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: hit Witt and early, you know, do something to kind

718
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: of just get him in a little bit of a

719
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: rhythm and start the game. Be good. Yeah. Well, let's

Speaker 1: no matter what. That's why when the game's on the line,

759
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: you're on your feet, whether you're at home or in

760
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 1: the stands. Actually, you're more than a fan. You are

761
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: a member of Cowboys Nation. And so is AT and

762
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: T doing their part to keep you connected to America's

763
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 1: team all season. Law AT and T is a proud

764
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: member of Cowboys Nation. This is talking Cowboys once again.

765
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: We're talking Papa John's pizza because we know why it

766
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: tastes so great when you're having ingredients like that, Taylor,

767
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: how can you go wrong? The veggies fresh hoole, never

768
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 1: frozen pepperoni one hundred percent pork and beef and with

769
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: ingredients alike that you have better pizza you have Papa John's,

770
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: And if we could, we'd send one to John Schmelt. Yes,

771
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: we would. John on the line, us guys, And I

772
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: bet you when we talk in early September, you didn't

773
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 1: think we'd be having the conversation we'd be having today

774
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 1: on December seven. I think we were like Edward guessing.

775
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: You didn't bet that either if O'Dell was going to play,

776
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: and what to know about this rookie Evan Ingram? And

777
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 1: now we're asking you how are you doing? Are you

778
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: getting sleep this week? Now? I am? And frankly, I

779
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: think that's kind of why ownership decided to do what

780
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: they did as early as they did. And well, you

781
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: guys have been you know through this down in Dallas. Yes,

782
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:50,919
Speaker 1: when you go through a whole month of the year

783
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: where after every game, every question is that whether you're

784
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: going to fire the head coach, it's impossible to function

785
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: in that environment. So once ownership decided that they were

786
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: going to make a change after the season, why not

787
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: do it beforehand? And thickly the last couple of days,

788
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: once you got past Monday, I've actually been pretty normal,

789
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: because you know, look, this is the coach, this is

790
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: the team. Let's go out there and try to win

791
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 1: a football game. How do you think the players have

792
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: responded this week, John, I think they were all kind

793
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: of surprised. I think a large pors in that lockerroom

794
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 1: really did, like Ben McAdoo quite honest with you, But

795
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: I think they understand at two and ten they'd been

796
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: asked about it for a while. Practice, from what I understand,

797
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: was a pretty good yesterday. They're out on the practice

798
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: fead right now, and I think the players have handled

799
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: as well as they could. The problem is that when

800
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,399
Speaker 1: so many guys hurt this year, they're running like half

801
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: a team out there, which is kind of why they're

802
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: in the situation they're in right now. Yeah, John, I

803
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: mean you know the situation though, and this is just

804
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: me from the scouting perspective with Jerry Reese. Was Jerry

805
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: Reese's sins due to really what happened with the manning situation?

806
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 1: Or is this something that you felt like that ownership

807
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: just basically said, Okay, we're tired of the offensive line questions,

808
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: We're tired of this, tired of that, or was this

809
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 1: really more about the Manning situation and how that was handled.

810
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: You know, John Marrow is very clear that the Marrow

811
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: the Manning situation, excuse me, was not the reason this

812
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: went down, because look, that was I really think a

813
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: bad product of organizational miscommunication where ownership was okay looking

814
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: at the two other quarterbacks on the rock, but then

815
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: how I got executed, and you know, John Marrow not

816
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: stepping in at the end of him not being in

817
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: the building for two days, and I think all that

818
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: made that situation of bad. But given the fact that

819
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: they're all on board with the concept, that wasn't the

820
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: reason this happened. I'm going to take you back to

821
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: two years ago in the Giants Look Goal of Tom

822
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: Coughlin and John Marrow was asked about the roster. I'll

823
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 1: give you a couple of quotes, because John Marrow didn't

824
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: want to say anything bad about Jerry's going out the

825
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: door because he frankly, he's been here for more than

826
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:56,320
Speaker 1: twenty years. Absolutely and and and and here a couple

827
00:40:56,360 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: of the quotes a question regarding personnelity answered, Look, numerous

828
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 1: conversations with Jerry. We need to look where we have

829
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 1: missed the boat on some of these things where we

830
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: can do better. Our standards too rigid? Do they have

831
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,240
Speaker 1: to change? The last couple of drafts have been more productive,

832
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: but we had a few in there where we just

833
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: haven't seen the production. Your core players are your third, fourth,

834
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: and fifthier players. If you look back at those draft classes,

835
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,879
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of them that are playing right now.

836
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: And I think that's where the issue has been the

837
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: Giants of non gone production out of their third, fourth,

838
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: and fifth round picks. And that's why they had to

839
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: go out there and spend all the money in free

840
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: agency last year because they haven't developed those mid round

841
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: draft pick since the players. It john back to the

842
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: ELI stuff that Brian mentioned. Just you know, we went

843
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: through this a little bit a different type circumstance with

844
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: Tony Romo last year. Can you tell us how kind

845
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: of bizarre that situation was last year, how Eli's handling it,

846
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: and do you feel like this could be a rallying

847
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: point for the football team to kind of rally around

848
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: ELI this week? I think I think they might, to

849
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 1: be honest with you, ELI handled it like a pro.

850
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: I think Tony Romo handled that whole thing last year

851
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 1: like the pro and I think Eli Manning did the

852
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: exact same thing this year. Both guys were as great

853
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 1: about what happened as possible. And I think the same

854
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,800
Speaker 1: way you guys saw Tony Romo very emotional when he

855
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: had a little press conference last year. Yeah, it was

856
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: the same. It was the same exact thing with Eli

857
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 1: Manning this year. I mean, he was fighting back tears.

858
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: It was that important to him to be quarterback of

859
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: the New York Giants, the same way it was imporn

860
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: for Tony Romo to be quarterback of the Dallas Cabal.

861
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: And well, I think what hurt Eli the most is that,

862
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: and he basically said this that they don't believe that

863
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: I'm the guy in the football too to try to

864
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: win the entire football game and that's what I've done

865
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 1: here for fourteen seasons. And for me to behold that

866
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: that's not my job to do that this week, it

867
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,840
Speaker 1: was hurtful for me. But I think it can be fixed.

868
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 1: And I think there's no guarantee that Manning is here

869
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 1: or not here next year. I think that'll be a

870
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 1: conversation between the new general manager, ownership and Manning. But yeah,

871
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 1: I think the team was thrilled to have him back

872
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:01,280
Speaker 1: on the huddle. The offensive line apparently all introduced themselves

873
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: ELI in the huddle at practice for the first time

874
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 1: yesterday when he was in with the first team. So

875
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: I think the guys are having funny with it. Do

876
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: you think the same uproar would have occurred if they

877
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: had started Davis Webb instead of Gino Smith. I think

878
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: Gino Smith's experienced with the Jets and the perception of

879
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: him in New York made the situation a lot worse,

880
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: to be quite honest with you. And I think even

881
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 1: if I think if you would have just presented the ELI,

882
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: and I think John Mara has said this where we're

883
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: going to start you, if the game gets out of

884
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 1: hand or if it's going really poorly on offense, we

885
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: might put somebody us in. I think everything would have

886
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: went okay, but that's not how it was presented. Yeah, yeah, Now, John,

887
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 1: this is kind of a lighthearted question to wrap it up.

888
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: You know, I'm sure these guys might have a few

889
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 1: more things, but the weather out there, you know, down

890
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: here in Dallas, we're experiencing something cold, not nearly as

891
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: cold as you guys get up there, but they're practicing

892
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: outside today to simul what they will be expecting in

893
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: New York on Sunday. The forty degree weather, How bad

894
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: do you think it will be? Will you be in

895
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:10,399
Speaker 1: a T shirt because you're so used to this? No, no, no, no, no, no,

896
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 1: there will be no T shirt. It was actually pretty

897
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: cold this morning. I actually to put the winter hat

898
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,479
Speaker 1: for the first time this morning to walk the dog

899
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 1: when I got up before I came to work. So

900
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of a big deal up here. It

901
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: was in like the low thirties, but forty degrees. The

902
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,359
Speaker 1: sun will be out. It's a one o'clock game. If

903
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: it was four o'clock, it'd be a little colder because

904
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 1: the sun goes down. But one o'clock forty degrees. I

905
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,360
Speaker 1: call that football weather. So you said the Giants were practicing,

906
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 1: Now are they indoors or outdoors? You know? LETI that's

907
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: a really good question. I'm gonna Walcome, I'm gonna walk

908
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 1: because I just got off my show I'm Little walk

909
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: fifteen outside of my office. Year on. Look outside and

910
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: the giants are practicing outside? All right? Hey, hey, John,

911
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,359
Speaker 1: what you know with all the things that have really

912
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: gone wrong with the with the Giants season, you know,

913
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:53,839
Speaker 1: and we know they're a talented team, you know, when

914
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,919
Speaker 1: they're all there, what what is something that they're gonna

915
00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: hang their hat on this weekend? What is there hope

916
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: going into this game that Okay, hey, we can do this,

917
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 1: we can find a way. If there's one thing that

918
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: you can say the Giants have to do to win

919
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: this football game, what would it be. I'm going to say,

920
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: run the ball, Brian, I gotta be honest with you.

921
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: And that's something that I think has been essential in

922
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:21,439
Speaker 1: all their games moving forward, because once the Giants get

923
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: into third and more than seven, I think it gets

924
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: very hard for them to convert those types of situations

925
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: because they're outside receivers. Roger Lewis and Tavars King are

926
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: their fifth and six wide receivers. They're just not going

927
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: to beat guys one on one that consistently. And now

928
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: strolling Shephard as the hamstring he didn't practice yesterday. You know,

929
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: hamstring for wide receivers are tricky, and then you have

930
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: emman ingram by tight end. So I think it's imperative

931
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 1: to him to get into third and two and third

932
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 1: and three to third and four to sustain drives and

933
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: get first down. Now they haven't been able to do

934
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: that they were like to, and especially with Chewan Lee

935
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 1: back this week, I think it's going to make it

936
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: a lot difficult for them. But I really think it's

937
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 1: essential for them to run the ball because if you

938
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 1: have DeMarcus Lawrence pin his ears back on third and

939
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: eight and they have a undrafted right tackle Chad Wheeler

940
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: out there trying to block him, that is not a

941
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 1: victory for success, which is why I think it's so important.

942
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,760
Speaker 1: By the way, that Austin Pugh does play this Sunday,

943
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 1: he was limited in practice Essay with the back and

944
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 1: I think that'll probably come down to Sunday a game

945
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,919
Speaker 1: time decision to see if he's gonna play great. Well,

946
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Sean. Always appreciate your time and

947
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: wishing you the best week in light of it all

Speaker 1: is a crazy Monday for you. So appreciate you joining

Speaker 1: us today. I look forward to seeing Mickey in his

950
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: overcoat and puffer jacket when he tries to venture into

951
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 1: the stadium on Sunday. Oh yes, paperboy hat and it

952
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: sounds like I better bring a hat too, right, Yeah,

953
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: I have no doubt about it all right, John, good

954
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 1: to have you, Thanks guys, Thanks John, Thanks Sean. He

955
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: really is the best, he really is. He's a friend

956
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 1: of the show. Thank you so much for having him

957
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: on today, because he gave us a lot. He always does,

958
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: I remember, I mean, and and he's one of those

959
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: great guys. The Giants too. They kind of make you

960
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 1: step up your game at the combine, if you remember,

961
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 1: they got they got an impressive setup over there with

962
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 1: all their we had to get a banner and everything.

963
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,840
Speaker 1: It's because what they're doing over there, they're they're putting

964
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: out some some good content. I know they're competition stuff,

965
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: but that is a good group of people over there

966
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: that do well. They do the same things that we do,

967
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 1: and and they really they admire what we do. And

968
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 1: I surely admire what they do as well. And you

969
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: know what the best thing about it is he really

970
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 1: loves what he does. Oh sure he does right. Yeah,

971
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,760
Speaker 1: absolutely makes it fun because because he's a straight shooter.

972
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,760
Speaker 1: He has a straight shooter and he's he walked fifteen

973
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: feet for us that Yeah, what was the biggest thing

974
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:46,800
Speaker 1: you guys took away from what he was telling you

975
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 1: about what's going on up there, I think for me,

976
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 1: when we pointed out the injury situation with their wide receivers,

977
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: a hamstring for for Sterling Shepherd, all of a sudden,

978
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 1: now that's he just mentioned there are two receivers at

979
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: they're relying on other than the rookie Evan Ingram to

980
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: bars King Roger Lewis. Can they get open for Eli

981
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:06,479
Speaker 1: Manning down the field. That's going to be a huge

982
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 1: key for them. And then it goes back to that

983
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 1: running game as well, which he brought up, which they've

984
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 1: struggled running the ball this year. He's asking him to

985
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:14,840
Speaker 1: do something that they haven't been capable of doing, and

986
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 1: that's the run. And that's run the football because he

987
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 1: knows that if it gets in a situation where it

988
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 1: turns into third and seven all day, then they're in trouble. Yeah,

989
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 1: and that's and that's where the Cowboys hope is is

990
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:28,840
Speaker 1: can you choke the run? And we haven't seen the

991
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: Giants have any consistency running the football. I said that

992
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: I'd been making jokes about Sean Lee. He even said

993
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 1: Sean Lee. You know, he brought up the name Sean

994
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 1: Lee making tackles because he knows that second level blocking

995
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 1: has just not been there for him. Yeah. Absolutely, Well, Hey,

996
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 1: thanks guys, thank you Mickey. And now let's get to

997
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: Rob's twitter poll because I saw some interesting and tweets

998
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 1: and people were were a little bit confused about it,

999
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 1: were they? Well, I mean, I guess you could take

1000
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 1: it one or two ways. Your pole they were confused about.

1001
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: I guess it's just one was like, hey, can't you

1002
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 1: just say all of them? Yeah, I mean I guess

1003
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: you can. You can look at it from a different perspective. End, Yeah,

1004
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:10,919
Speaker 1: there's right. Ends are always welcome. The question was which

1005
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: position has done the best job overcoming injury slash suspensions

1006
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 1: on the Cowboys roster? Which position? And I gave four

1007
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,400
Speaker 1: of them. Now you can argue that a lot of

1008
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 1: these they haven't done a great job, but let's talk

1009
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 1: about it. Let's sparks some conversation. Cornerback, linebacker, obviously, with

1010
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 1: Sean and Hitchins missing time. Offensive line, we've seen their

1011
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:37,439
Speaker 1: injuries lately, running back with Zeke suspended as well. Any

1012
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 1: of those stand out that you you think they've done

1013
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 1: a good job handling it, or hey, you can write

1014
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 1: none of the above if you want, Mick write it

1015
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 1: in what what was the first couple corner and linebacker?

1016
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 1: They have injuries at corner, Cheeto's been out most of

1017
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:54,879
Speaker 1: the season. Yeah, well you lost No. One Carroll early,

1018
00:49:54,920 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 1: then you let him, got Scandi's hurt, and it was

1019
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: the next one. Linebacker. Well, that's certainly out. Oh. I

1020
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: don't think they've handled the linebacker situation very well. I don't.

1021
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if they handled it well. They didn't

1022
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: have anybody to handle it for him. I don't. It's

1023
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 1: a it's a choice. It doesn't have to be your choice.

1024
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 1: Who are you thinking, Brian, So I'm asking you're asking

1025
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: me which one they handled the best. Yeah, Yeah, I'm

1026
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: gonna say. This is gonna sound weird because we've talked

1027
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 1: about this a bunch because we thought it was maybe

1028
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,240
Speaker 1: a little bit of a problem. But the offensive line,

1029
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 1: because they figured they moved. They took a gamble on

1030
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: Lyle Collins being a right tackle, and he looks like

1031
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 1: a right tackle. I mean he's played, I mean from

1032
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 1: the start of this training camp through training camp. There

1033
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 1: were some rough patches, but the fact that he didn't

1034
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 1: practice one snap last week and played the way he

1035
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 1: did against two pretty good rushers. I think says a

1036
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: lot about him. I don't think the right though was

1037
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 1: gonna be the left guard is totally crushed you in

1038
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:04,280
Speaker 1: these games. Yeah, I think he hasn't been good at times,

1039
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 1: But is that the one that they've handled the best?

1040
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 1: I have one. What's got? I'm gonna say running back,

1041
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:14,240
Speaker 1: because if you believe it or not, in the NFL,

1042
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,799
Speaker 1: the Cowboys still ranked fourth and rushing. Obviously, Mickey has

1043
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 1: read you all the Zeke stats. A large part is

1044
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 1: because of him playing as many games as he was

1045
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:26,240
Speaker 1: able to do before his suspension. But I think even

1046
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 1: with obviously there were a few games you're like, Okay,

1047
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:32,360
Speaker 1: they just can't get anything going here. Alfred Morris was

1048
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 1: able to have a solid game last week, and then

1049
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 1: you know, of course the up and down with Darren McFadden.

1050
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 1: He has since retired. I think they did the best

1051
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:42,839
Speaker 1: job with the running back, but that was the one

1052
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 1: that they knew they were going to have to And

1053
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 1: that's kind of the genesis of this poll because we

1054
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 1: talked yesterday. Brian had all those questions for us about

1055
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 1: how they functioned without Zeke and is it better than

1056
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 1: you thought it would be? And I agree with Tay

1057
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 1: I'd say running back and that wins the poll thirty

1058
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 1: nine percent, followed by corner at thirty two percent. I'm

1059
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: not surprised linebacker and offensive line, look, they were options,

1060
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean you saw Chads Green struggle when

1061
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: he had to step in at old line linebacker. They've

1062
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 1: been struggling without Sean most of the time in the

1063
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 1: run defense. So yeah, but it was the Lyle call.

1064
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 1: I mean, she was the Chads Green thing Chads Green

1065
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: or was it coaching error? Well he just put it

1066
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,959
Speaker 1: all together. No, but I'm saying he was not good.

1067
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 1: We understand that. Yeah, but for the overall so, I mean,

1068
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: I think they were just late to adjust well and

1069
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,479
Speaker 1: the coach did adjust it enough the coach. The coach

1070
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:38,239
Speaker 1: admitted that it sounded to me the coach put that

1071
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 1: put that one on the staff. So I didn't vote

1072
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 1: shock out. But if I vote now, cornerback may go

1073
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: over the top. My one vote might get to thirty

1074
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:53,840
Speaker 1: five percent. Who do you believe that? Though? Yes? Why?

1075
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: Because I don't think the cornerback position whatever. I mean,

1076
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 1: what injuries did they have? Wooz? I just I just

1077
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:05,319
Speaker 1: named three of them for you. Who else? Scanner's hurt

1078
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:08,279
Speaker 1: right now. Oh now we haven't we missed yet. You

1079
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 1: missed a game earlier in the season. Well they won that, Okay,

1080
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 1: so making your point. So my point is cornerback they

1081
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: handled the best. Nolan Carroll was their starter. He got hurt.

1082
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 1: Mickey accounts he was never and they overcame it. That

1083
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,719
Speaker 1: didn't hurt him. Okay, I'm I'm the pole. Questions are

1084
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: actually pretty good. Thanks. I liked the debates. He thinks

1085
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 1: they all suck. No, I didn't say it saying cornerback.

1086
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 1: That's my vote. I want to do the pulse. You

1087
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: want to do it, I'm not supposed to. You can

1088
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 1: figure it out, could you do? You're fine? I was

1089
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 1: I'm not supposed to vote. No, No, you're voted, You're fine.

1090
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 1: What did you say, Tay? What was your vote for them?

1091
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 1: I said running back? So we all had a different

1092
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,359
Speaker 1: we chatted a different way. Would you say you said

1093
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 1: running back to you? Yeah? Yeah, yeah. You felt like

1094
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: they handled that situation the best, they knew about it

1095
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:58,359
Speaker 1: the most, They were more aware that they needed to

1096
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:02,279
Speaker 1: do something there. I agree. I think based on what

1097
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 1: we saw last week, of those other three options, I

1098
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 1: think they've run the ball pretty well, it's not Zeke

1099
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 1: and we knew that, but only once out of four

1100
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 1: games they haven't been running it poorly? M No, they

1101
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 1: happy one yards is not good enough? How many ninety one?

1102
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: That's what he got in Chargers? Right? Or was that Eagles?

1103
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 1: There was a game where he starts spen the biggest

1104
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:30,840
Speaker 1: problem in the losses though, I wouldn't defense, wouldn't offense

1105
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 1: is a total? Wouldn't put it all on the running game.

1106
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 1: I think points. I mean, I understand what everybody's saying

1107
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:39,799
Speaker 1: about the about the offense. I think games. I'm kind

1108
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:43,399
Speaker 1: of thinking about my talking about the offensive line. Yeah,

1109
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about was that right? Yeah? But I don't know, well,

1110
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was right or wrong. They.

1111
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:54,959
Speaker 1: I don't think any of us disagreed that Chaz Green

1112
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 1: could be the backup swing tackle or the starting guard.

1113
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:00,919
Speaker 1: By the way, right coming out of training camp, we

1114
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,720
Speaker 1: were all sold on that, see thee and so were they. Yeah,

1115
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,360
Speaker 1: so now you want to criticize him for being wrong,

1116
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 1: all right? They? I mean, I don't know how else

1117
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:12,360
Speaker 1: you would have handled it after you made that decision?

1118
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 1: Were they wrong in playing Chads Green at guard and

1119
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 1: not at tackle to start training camp. Did his development

1120
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 1: at tackle hurt by his playing guard in training camp?

1121
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 1: Majority of the snaps, I think you could say that,

1122
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: but then you didn't know who your guard was, and

1123
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,799
Speaker 1: they weren't sold on Jonathan Cooper and they were trying

1124
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 1: to write their five best guys, trying to get their

1125
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 1: five best guys on the field. At the same time,

1126
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 1: they felt like he was the fifth best guy, so

1127
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 1: try him at guard. But see the logic there in

1128
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 1: the back of their mind they were worried about and

1129
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 1: being hurt there they were still thinking, we're not sold

1130
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 1: on Byron Bell being the swing tackle, right and Chaz Green?

1131
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:58,280
Speaker 1: What happens if he's our best guard and our best

1132
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:01,319
Speaker 1: swing tackle? Now, what do you do? Cask one more

1133
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 1: questioned if you could give them one Mulligan if they

1134
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 1: could go back Mulligan golf talk. If they could Yeah,

1135
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 1: if they could go back and say this one thing,

1136
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 1: this one thing we would change to start the season

1137
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 1: knowing what they know. Now, what do you think it

1138
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 1: would be? Free agency? Oh? I think they would go

1139
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:25,439
Speaker 1: all the way back there because Okay, no Stephen Pya, no,

1140
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:28,719
Speaker 1: Nolan Carroll. Yeah, but that was and I'm just saying

1141
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:30,839
Speaker 1: if you could go all the way back, Maya didn't

1142
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:33,000
Speaker 1: hurt them. I didn't hurt them. But what I'm saying

1143
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 1: is I wonder did he done? Did he? No? No,

1144
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 1: I'm asking that, like, did he for not being there?

1145
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 1: Because you had to move, you had to move it

1146
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:44,399
Speaker 1: got David Irvan on the field. Yeah, but you had

1147
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 1: to move, it had to reshuffle a little bit. But

1148
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: once David Irvan got on the field, that was what

1149
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:55,320
Speaker 1: what's going to happen anyway? Right? Pile was so Pia,

1150
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,920
Speaker 1: you would have benched Collins? What would you change? He

1151
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 1: had to go back time. I'm trying to think. I

1152
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:03,719
Speaker 1: think I would have just gone back and said, maybe

1153
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: I need to keep one of these defensive guys Church

1154
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 1: or No. And I don't know, maybe it would even

1155
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 1: have been someone like you know, your your homeboy to

1156
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 1: Roll McClain. Yeah, I don't know, but I think maybe

1157
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 1: they would have approached it. But that's talk about Yeah, yeah,

1158
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 1: I mean that's but you said no one carroll it.

1159
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 1: But you meant free agency. We free agency after this

1160
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 1: a whole. That's hard to change free agency when you

1161
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 1: have a limited amount of ammunition in free agency, Absolutely,

1162
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 1: I completely agree. I mean, you're you're bottom feeding with

1163
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:40,360
Speaker 1: their salary cap. It wasn't like they had all this

1164
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 1: money to spent, and they said, no, let's do it

1165
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 1: this way. So they could have maybe kept a guy

1166
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 1: or two that left, though they could have you could

1167
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 1: have tried to keep Barry Church. They felt like they

1168
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,080
Speaker 1: could draft. They felt like the draft was deep enough.

1169
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 1: Did you want you want to spend a four year

1170
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 1: deal on Barry Church? Well? And also I'm saying maybe

1171
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have kept some of the guys they did.

1172
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 1: You know, they kept Daron McFadden for another one year contract.

1173
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 1: One year obviously nothing and we're getting close to the

1174
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 1: end of it. But you know, it's always fun to

1175
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 1: look back on that time. I'm trying to think though,

1176
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 1: what I would change, I know, but I like your

1177
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 1: We'll think about it Friday. Maybe that's a good poll

1178
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 1: question for tomorrow. There we go there, Friday, it's Friday, Tomorrow,

1179
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 1: it's Friday. Well, great show, guys, question for joining us today,

00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: same time, same place tomorrow. We get ready on a Friday.

00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 1: It's always turned up here. This has been a production

1182
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:36,440
Speaker 1: of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys football

1183
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:36,720
