23
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 6: Last night, after it was it was I think it

24
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 6: was thirty to sixteen, thirty fourteen something like that, I

25
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 6: was like, this game's over and I went to bed,

26
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 6: and then I woke up this one. I was like, no,

27
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 6: please don't tell me I miss that game.

28
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: Is you always do that? You always risk that in

29
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: the NFL.

30
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 6: And that was the cardinal sin too, like when it's

31
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 6: two good teams, you should never just say, oh, this

32
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 6: game's over, because you just never know how what's going

33
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 6: to happen. And sure enough I woke up this morning,

34
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 6: I was like, I missed it, missed.

35
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: A great game. But it looked like it was a

36
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: great game.

37
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 6: Two really good teams too, evenly match teams that looked

38
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 6: like the playoffs will be interesting, and you know what's interesting,

39
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 6: Amber and Brian.

40
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: As you look around the NFL, I feel.

41
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 3: Like you're getting it word in ed twice today.

42
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 6: Maybe not oh yeah, yeah yeah, maybe maybe I actually

43
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 6: can talk for a little bit. Sorry Bo, but no,

44
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 6: it feels like it feels like this year not only

45
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 6: is there a changing of the guard because the typical

46
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 6: teams that have been in the mix don't seem to

47
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 6: be there as much, but it also seems like there's

48
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 6: this theme of defense that is also the best teams

49
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 6: in the league. They're probably the best defenses in the

50
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 6: league as well, which in a league, where offense has

51
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 6: been everything for so long. It's a kind of refreshing

52
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 6: to see all these really really good defenses now sitting

53
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 6: atop the league.

54
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, they've You're seeing some young coaches too that are

55
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 4: involved as well, you know, with with Seattle and what

56
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 4: they have going, and I mean around the league, there's

57
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 4: the young coaches. It's it's it's that part of it's

58
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 4: refreshing as well. I think the thing that that's that

59
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 4: makes this so much fun watching these teams play is

60
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 4: the level of talent, the quarterback play. I know, in

61
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 4: last night's game, you know you got two quarterbacks and

62
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 4: a lot of people gave up on Sam Arnold. It

63
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 4: just kind of shows you, though, you're one of these

64
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 4: teams that all of a sudden you don't have a quarterback.

65
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 4: You don't have you know, you think you don't have

66
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 4: a quarterback. You draft a quarterback, you play with him

67
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 4: for a couple of years, and you just get rid

68
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 4: of him, and then he goes on the Baker mayfields,

69
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 4: the Sam Darnold's. These guys go on and play other

70
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 4: places and and just thrive, like what they thought about

71
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,399
Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford too. I mean at Detroit everybody's like, yeah,

72
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 4: he's washed up, he's done and all of that, but

73
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 4: you're right, the offenses have been outstanding.

74
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 3: These defenses.

75
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 4: Defenses have come a long way because you're looking at

76
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 4: a situation where the league is really geared towards offense.

77
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 4: The rules are geared towards offense. You see a lot

78
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 4: more calls towards the offense when it comes to some

79
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 4: of the penalty stuff. But man, these guys that can

80
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 4: they can dial up the defenses, you know, can get

81
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 4: their guys to play at a very very high level.

82
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 4: You saw it firsthand last week. You know, a team

83
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 4: like Minnesota, their offense has been struggling all year because

84
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 4: of the young quarterback, but here they go. They've got

85
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 4: a they got a defense that's very well coordinated. And

86
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 4: you're about to play another win with the Chargers. That's

87
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 4: a very well coordinated defense with a with a young

88
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 4: coordinator heading it up.

89
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 5: This is gonna be a weird question because I'm not

90
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 5: quite sure how to properly phrase it, but you know,

91
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 5: sometimes because we're so close to the Cowboys, and I'll

92
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 5: speak for myself, I'm so close to the Cowboys that

93
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 5: sometimes it's hard to put yourself in other teams, like

94
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 5: think about their own situation where you feel like, oh,

95
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 5: this just happens to us and we're struggling with this

96
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 5: or that. Obviously knowing there are much worse teams out there,

97
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 5: but you tend to completely eliminate those every year regardless.

98
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 5: But my question to you guys, and I know the

99
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 5: Cowboys have had successful years in recent years, they haven't

100
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 5: made it that's the first round of the playoffs. But

101
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 5: my question is, don't even know how to say it,

102
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,679
Speaker 5: but is there a team out there that you would

103
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 5: compare to the Cowboys where they've had similar struggles but

104
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 5: have been able and I'm talking about in the last

105
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 5: five years to overcome those things and get further into

106
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 5: not to the super Bowl obviously because we know the

107
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,119
Speaker 5: Super Bowl teams and all that, but have had much

108
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 5: success into the playoffs. Does that make any sense?

109
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

110
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 6: You know what's interesting is there have been some teams

111
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 6: that I thought, because of the situation that they found

112
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 6: themselves in, whether that be something happened with their quarterback,

113
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 6: a lot of turnover on their roster, I thought, oh man,

114
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 6: it's gonna take them a while to rebuild that. And

115
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 6: then in short order. They're right back in the mix

116
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 6: out out. The Rams are a good example of that.

117
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 6: Like we thought a few years was that maybe two

118
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 6: years ago there were questions, A. Yeah, there were questions

119
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 6: like did they they basically sell them?

120
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 3: Did they basically sell their future for a Super Bowl run?

121
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 6: And and so you know there's a question of you know,

122
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 6: how can they get back, how soon can they get back?

123
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and now they're right back in it and one

124
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: of the best teams in the NFL.

125
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 4: That's a great example of a team that knows free

126
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 4: agency pretty well, plays in that game. They've drafted third, fourth,

127
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,239
Speaker 4: fifth round really well and when they've.

128
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: Had some because that's all they had.

129
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's like verse and others they've drafted. I'll

130
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 4: give you a team Amber. I think they kind of

131
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 4: maybe could be like that, and I might be wrong

132
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 4: about this. The Denver Broncos. The Denver Broncos are.

133
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 3: A team that have had a great history.

134
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,239
Speaker 4: You know, been around, an old AFL team that had

135
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 4: you know, they had a little bit when they started

136
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 4: a run, they had to run through the seventies. The

137
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 4: Cowboys played them in a Super Bowl in seventy seven.

138
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 4: They kind of went through the eighties with the Dan

139
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 4: Reeves administration. Yeah, they've had a great history. They've had

140
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 4: probably very good playoff success, and then kind of went away.

141
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 4: We're struggling to find a coach kind of We're like

142
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 4: looking at their roster. It wasn't really built exceptionally well,

143
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 4: went through some general managers. But they're a team that

144
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 4: has had a history of being really, really good, kind

145
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 4: of falling off a little bit, and then all of

146
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 4: a sudden getting really good again. We look what Sean

147
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 4: Payton's done, But they went through a spell there where

148
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 4: they went through two or three coaches and the roster

149
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 4: of the general just wasn't good. So very much similar

150
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 4: to the Cowboys. They've they've had more success I think

151
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 4: in playoffs here lately as opposed to the Cowboys. But

152
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 4: to me, I kind of look at the way that

153
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 4: the history of their team seems very similar to what

154
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 4: the Cowboys have been.

155
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, let's talk real quick. We're talking about defense. Yesterday

156
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 6: we find out the Cowboys have made an interesting change

157
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 6: to their defense, not necessarily to a player, but with

158
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 6: the coach defensive coordinator Matty Eberflus, the decision has been

159
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 6: made that as opposed to him being on the sidelines

160
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 6: during the game, they're going to move him.

161
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 2: Into the booth.

162
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 6: Obviously, in the booth, you can see the feel better,

163
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 6: you can see what's happening, you.

164
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 3: Can see all the mistakes that Matt's making.

165
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 4: Well yeah, but also I mean where we're I mean,

166
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 4: you know you can do it, you see it, you

167
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 4: absolutely and you can as we're watching the game from

168
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 4: us both we can always see.

169
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 6: Things that it's it's easy to be like, oh, that quarter,

170
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 6: they do that, but it's not the same view from

171
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 6: the field. But from a coaching standpoint, and this is

172
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 6: something I was I was kind of looking around yesterday

173
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 6: and seeing different perspectives and I can't remember who it was,

174
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 6: but someone, a former coach was saying, yeah, that's nice,

175
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 6: but what you give up is being able to see

176
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 6: your players, being able to see their eyes reaction, know

177
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 6: what you need to be doing with them, know if

178
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 6: you need to be encouraging them or if you need

179
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 6: to really be pressing on them right, being able to

180
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 6: coach them in the moment. Those are the things that

181
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 6: you kind of miss when you're up there in the boots.

182
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 6: You're removed from the game a little bit. The emotion

183
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 6: of the game, and you're more just tactically thinking, Okay,

184
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 6: here's what I need to do here, here's what I'm

185
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 6: saying here, and make a decision.

186
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 3: Brian, which do you think is better?

187
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 4: I think personally being upstairs is the best because what

188
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 4: happens is it's upstairs. It's a very much. You can

189
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 4: can see the entire field. You can see their sideline,

190
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 4: you can see their substitution patterns. You can get an

191
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 4: idea of who you have on the field, who you

192
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 4: don't have on the field. You see guys running on

193
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 4: and off. The coordination has to be you have to

194
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 4: be very quick. But once you're able to see their

195
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 4: sideline and who they've got coming on, you could quickly

196
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 4: adjust and like you know, bass Nickel, dime dime, get

197
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 4: the dime out, get the goal line out, short yard

198
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 4: and short yards.

199
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 3: You know you got people.

200
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 4: Kind of when people in the box they're telling you

201
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 4: those things on the field, but being upstairs you can

202
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 4: actually see it with your own eyes. You could see,

203
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 4: Oh man, we blew that coverage. Our rotation was bad.

204
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 4: We were I tried to I tried to call a

205
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 4: Cover two look, but we stayed in Cover three and

206
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 4: our safety went down and that's a mistake. And you're like, oh, no, no, no, no,

207
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 4: So you're able to kind of convey that, Yeah, do

208
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,719
Speaker 4: you miss the opportunity of walking up and saying, hey, listen, man,

209
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 4: we have got to find a way too, you know,

210
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 4: and this is sideline conversations and stuff. We've got to

211
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 4: find a way to be I was part of a

212
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 4: when they used to have the cords.

213
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 3: When they used to have the chords in the.

214
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 4: Game in Green Bay one year we had a defensive

215
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 4: core named Fritz Shermer had a guy get sick. Who

216
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 4: is his cord holder? They asked me, because I was

217
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 4: on the sideline, would you hold Fritz's cord. I learned

218
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 4: so much about being on the field and coaching that day.

219
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 4: Listen the interaction that Fritz had with the players. That's

220
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 4: the one thing that you kind of miss is being

221
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 4: now you could pick up the phone and and but

222
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 4: dan quinn had really good success being upstairs. Will McClay

223
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 4: was a huge help with him. The coaches. They were

224
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 4: able to identify personnel. But you're you're away from the action,

225
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 4: You don't you're away from two The sidelines could be

226
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 4: a very emotional place and you see those reactions and

227
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 4: you see that and it can affect how you kind

228
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 4: of call the game or look at the game. Being upstairs,

229
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 4: you could kind of be in your own little world.

230
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 4: You can make your notes, make your adjustments, think about

231
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 4: the next series. That The question I'm going to ask

232
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 4: Stephen Jones today when we have him on this afternoon

233
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 4: on one five three of the fan is I'm going

234
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 4: to ask him why now? That's what I want to know.

235
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 4: I mean, if this is something I see it as

236
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 4: a positive, but why now there's you know, there's three

237
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 4: there's three three games left?

238
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 3: Here?

239
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 4: Was this something that should have been was thought about earlier?

240
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 4: Now the answer Steven might get me, I might not.

241
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 4: Like it might be a thing where where last week

242
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 4: we saw a little bit of some what they had

243
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 4: to use a time out and Brian Schottenheimer emotionally said,

244
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 4: what the effort we doing out there? And so sometimes

245
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 4: maybe having somebody somewhere else might be a little thing.

246
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 3: That's just me speculating right there.

247
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 4: It's not anything I know, but maybe having that you know,

248
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 4: maybe hey, we we kind of messed that up. You

249
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 4: need to you need to get upstairs and figure it

250
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 4: out and you know, and I think that maybe is

251
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 4: where we're at. But I plan on asking Steven Jones

252
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 4: that question, why now?

253
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 3: Why not? You know?

254
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 4: And feluc even said he hadn't called. He hadn't been

255
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 4: in the press box for seventeen years. It's a pretty

256
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 4: long time not to be up there, and all of

257
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 4: a sudden decided we need to go in the press box.

258
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 6: Shody did say, I think it was yesterday. It maybe

259
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 6: may have been this morning one oh five dot three

260
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 6: the fan, but he did say, and I read the

261
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 6: comment he said he was asked a similar question. His

262
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 6: response was, you know, we feel like we got on

263
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 6: a run and played some good defense in those three

264
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 6: games that we won in a row, and then we

265
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 6: lost to Detroit. So it wasn't a situation at that

266
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 6: point where we were just going to make a wholesale

267
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 6: change after one game that we didn't play well and

268
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 6: then obviously you lose the next and that's where it

269
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 6: falls off. But he said he didn't think that that

270
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 6: it was a situation where they should have necessarily done

271
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 6: it earlier. It really they thought that maybe they solved

272
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 6: a lot of the problems when they got the new

273
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 6: players in they got on that run and then things

274
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 6: started to fall apart. So I get that it does

275
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 6: feel like no matter what, no matter even if they

276
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 6: played really well, it does feel like it's still gonna

277
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 6: be like did we wait too long? And that's my

278
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 6: question for you, Amber, if you as you look at this,

279
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 6: is there anything that this defense can do in the

280
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 6: last three games? Because Jerry said these games are going

281
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 6: to be a part of the conversation on you know,

282
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 6: what they're gonna do with defensive coordinator going forward? Is

283
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 6: there anything they can do if they pitch a shut

284
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 6: off these final three games? Is that enough for you

285
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,599
Speaker 6: to feel confident that going into next year, Matt Ebraflus

286
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 6: is the right got to lead the defense.

287
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 5: I'm so sorry, but no, I mean, it's just a

288
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 5: little too late for that in my personal opinion, because

289
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 5: you have to look at who you're playing against as well. Yes,

290
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 5: you have a tough matchup this weekend against the Chargers,

291
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 5: but after that you have Washington and then the New

292
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 5: York Giants. You're not gonna impress me by playing a

293
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 5: really good game against those two offense right there. And

294
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 5: to your original question, Derek and I've been on both

295
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 5: I've experienced a game on the sideline and at the

296
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 5: press box too. On the sideline, we all know the

297
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 5: game happens so much faster, faster, so much faster is insane,

298
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 5: and it's so hard to see what exactly is going on.

299
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 5: And I mean credits to all those coaches who do

300
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 5: that and have that ability, but it's very difficult. And

301
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 5: this is why I think this change will actually be

302
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 5: beneficial to Eberflus and his future because even if it's

303
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 5: not here with the Cowboys, let's say he still has

304
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 5: to look for a job, you know, and finish the

305
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 5: season strong. Iberflus And I'm saying this from my own

306
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 5: point of view. I have a soft spot for him,

307
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 5: because I think he's a very nice guy and I

308
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 5: have so much respect for him, But based on all

309
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:41,119
Speaker 5: the things I've always seen pre game on the sideline,

310
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 5: he doesn't seem to have the type of personality that

311
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 5: connects with the players. And he tries, he tries, but

312
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 5: in my eyes, there's some type of disconnect just because

313
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 5: it's it's not the right personality. It doesn't seem to

314
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,239
Speaker 5: be the right fit to have that type of communication

315
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 5: or relationship with those players and there's nothing wrong with that.

316
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 5: It just happens, you know. It's not that he's being

317
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 5: a jerk or not trying. He's trying, but it's just

318
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 5: sometimes doesn't work. And I think that's why when you

319
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 5: mentioned the communication with the players and being there, because

320
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 5: there's that lack of relationship there. I think he's just

321
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 5: gonna find more, much more success just being up there

322
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 5: bird's eye view and just seeing the game differently and

323
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 5: taking that part of the game out and just focusing

324
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 5: really on the changes, and maybe we are able to

325
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 5: see some positive adjustments from him watching the game up there.

326
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, Derek, a couple a couple of things though on that,

327
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 4: And to me, I'm to the point where right now

328
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 4: I think Ambro's right. It doesn't affect me because if

329
00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 4: the fact that Philadelphia wins on Saturday and the divisions

330
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 4: wrapped up and you're completely out of the playoffs that way,

331
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 4: I'm playing these last two games in a different light.

332
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 4: I'm you know, I'm now thinking more about twenty twenty six,

333
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 4: so you know, and with also with Bland and already

334
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 4: being out and stuff like that, looking at new guys,

335
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 4: it's kind of that's kind of what we're at right now,

336
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 4: I'm going to take the last two weeks and evaluate

337
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 4: more of the players than I am the coaches, you know,

338
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 4: and see how that goes. I think, to be honest

339
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 4: with you, I think the die has been cast here.

340
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 4: I think the die has been cast. That's just my

341
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 4: personal appearent opinion and anything from anybody at the Cowboys

342
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 4: have told me a thing. I just kind of feel like

343
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 4: though that this right now is probably going to be

344
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 4: a change.

345
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,239
Speaker 3: We saw it happen.

346
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 4: With with when When you look at Mike Nolan, they

347
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 4: played a game on the third of January, the fifth

348
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 4: of January, the eighth of January, he was relieved of

349
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 4: his job. By the eleventh of January, they had another

350
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 4: defensive coordinator in Dan Quinn. I don't know if they'll

351
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 4: go that fast, but I think the first and the

352
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 4: second might happen that way.

353
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 3: That's just my opinion on this.

354
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 2: All Right, we're gonna take our first break. We'll come back.

420
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 5: all Christmas theme and I'm posting I'm bringing some Christmas movies.

421
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 5: Christmas characters. I'm gonna give a quick description of the

422
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 5: theme of that character or movie, and then I want it.

423
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 5: I want you guys to relate it to somebody or

424
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 5: a situation, whatever it makes whatever that description or character

425
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 5: reminds you of about the team and the Cowboys or whatever.

426
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 5: Does that make sense?

427
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 3: So it's a Christmas movie? Yell?

428
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 5: For example, I'm gonna give the first one.

429
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 3: Okay, and I I haven't seen many of these, but

430
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 3: I'll give it a go.

431
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 5: But I'll give you descriptions. Okay, okay, So that for

432
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 5: the first one, Buddy Elf, he's overly positive, believes no

433
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 5: one can stop him, and he always brings chaotic energy

434
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 5: wherever he goes. If he had to think of somebody

435
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 5: or a situation that gives you that vibe, Who is it?

436
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 3: Oh, we don't have the same one, Go ahead, I'll

437
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 3: let you go first. Is it George Pickens? That same

438
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 3: kind of that energy.

439
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 4: There's chaos, but there's always something kind of always positive.

440
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 4: But you know, he's he's kind of been a situation

441
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,479
Speaker 4: where it's still some chaos around him. He's always bringing

442
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 4: like people are always kind of critical of him in

443
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 4: a way. But I think since the cowboys have been,

444
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 4: he's been. He's been a super positive guy, even after

445
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 4: some of the games where it hasn't been.

446
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 3: So I know, I didn't take your guy, then who

447
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 3: is it, Derek?

448
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 2: My guy's Cavante Turpin.

449
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 6: I'm just like with the stuff, like with the whole

450
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 6: you know, fair catch not fair catch. It just seems

451
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 6: like this year has been moments, moments where it's like

452
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 6: he can break one any play, but it's like these

453
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 6: just weird moments, like what is going on? And he

454
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 6: does have supreme confidence, and it's really interesting. I love

455
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 6: it because you know, I'm not a guy that's particularly tall,

456
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 6: so I love it when guys that are particularly tall

457
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 6: supreme confidence, like I don't care how big you are,

458
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 6: get after it, let's go. And I think Avante has that.

459
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 6: He has that a lot. So yeah, I would say

460
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 6: Cavant took there. All right, that's the right answer, by

461
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 6: the way, thank you, So I went.

462
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 3: I went.

463
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 5: There's no right or wrong one. Feel free to throw

464
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 5: in yours if you. If something comes to.

465
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 6: My Turpin is definitely buddy elf, like just watch I

466
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 6: haven't seen the movie, so I'm guessing that's.

467
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 5: A good Oh my god, Yeah, crazy that's.

468
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 4: But she's the way you described the character is like

469
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 4: super positive but chaos.

470
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 5: He's one of the funniest art actors ever.

471
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, so soon as you said movies, I almost send

472
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 3: Josh in there. Well, I'm sure Josh over there.

473
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 2: He's got a million, a million different nancewers.

474
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 5: Reach these all right. Next one, Home Alone with Kevin.

475
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 5: He always he always succeeded when he's left on his

476
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 5: own and forced to improvise.

477
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 12: Hmm.

478
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 5: Is there anybody that reminds you of Home Alone? Kevin?

479
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 4: Is that Dak in the pocket when he's kind of

480
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 4: when he has like everything's kind of breaking down around him.

481
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 4: Not likely, I know, but no, but but but things

482
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,239
Speaker 4: are like going kind of he's get you leave him,

483
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 4: leave him alone, you let him kind of you snap

484
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 4: him the ball. He kind of moves around, but like

485
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 4: it looks like it's something bad's about to happen. Then

486
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 4: he finds a way to kind of make a play

487
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 4: that's kind of very Dak.

488
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 6: Like that's the perfect one, Brian, because when you think

489
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 6: about it, like you watch that movie and there's just

490
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 6: stuff coming every few minutes. There's a new challenge, and

491
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 6: he figures out the perfect way to defeat it, and

492
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 6: it's like, that's really I'll say that's Dak against Green

493
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 6: Bay against Micah. Yeah, because Michah just kept coming, he

494
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 6: was coming, and Dak would be like not today, Nope,

495
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 6: not today, and so yeah I would I would say

496
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 6: dok too.

00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 3: It's Jerry Jones.

507
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 2: I was gonna say Trayon Dicks.

508
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, it could be anything.

509
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 2: It could be it's Jerry Jerry, It's Schary.

510
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 3: He wont every year it's this. He talks in talks

511
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 3: and he talks and talks at the and then now

512
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 3: we're down to the end and people.

513
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 2: Just want that one Christmas wish today?

514
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 4: Do you take responsibility for this season? And he went

515
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 4: into his yes, I do I make responsibility for it.

516
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 4: Every year he's he opens, he opens the press conference

517
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 4: and ox start and everybody's like listening, and by the

518
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 4: end everybody's going, poor Jerry. You know, he's once again

519
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 4: has to be reminded that they're not going to be

520
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 4: in the playoffs and stuff like that. So I would

521
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 4: say that would be him, that.

522
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 3: Mine's Jaden Blue.

523
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 6: Oh that's not a bad one, yeah, because you know

524
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 6: he wants all the nice things, the cleats and stuff

525
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 6: like that.

526
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 3: Then he shoots his eye out.

527
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 5: It's almost up there. Okay, wh would you say it

528
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:31,840

00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 3: Ohon, he just wants the field I want to play.

531
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 6: Like and then gets a concussion at the house.

532
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 2: It's a it's a rough year.

533
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 5: From a man, all right. The Grinch he shows up

534
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 5: and ruins Christmas for everybody.

535
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.

536
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 2: This is kind of mean. I hate it and saying it.

537
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 3: But Matt, I don't think you're wrong.

538
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 6: I mean, like that's been Look look let's and I

539
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 6: say it in jest's if we have fun.

540
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 12: Yeah.

541
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 5: Well, also the French turns out to be a good character.

542
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 3: Yeah he's got a good heart. He means well, but like,

543
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 3: yeah it worked out, it hasn't worked out, Yeah, it

544
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 3: had it's been.

545
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 6: Rough and and especially when you think about it from

546
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 6: the standpoint of how good the offense is. And I'm

547
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 6: telling somebody that yesterday, I was like, that's the part

548
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 6: that really sure makes me feel some kind of way

549
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 6: about this season. And I'm like, this offense is really really,

550
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 6: really good, and and just the defense just couldn't get

551
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 6: to a point where it was complimentary, where it can

552
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 6: give up some big plays but just be complimentary. It

553
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 6: couldn't get to that point. That's the part that's just

554
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 6: so I.

555
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 4: Would say how about this one amber this would be

556
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 4: a little different.

557
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 3: I'd say how.

558
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 4: About the NFC North, And I'd say it in this

559
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 4: way three and one Yep, against the NFC North, that

560
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 4: would be but stole your Christmas.

561
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 2: Even the worst of their one beat you at your place.

562
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, that division, I think coming into the year, a

563
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 6: lot of people thought that was gonna be the best

564
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 6: division in football.

565
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: Oh No, and outside the outside the a f C

566
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 2: West West, I think it probably is.

567
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, your your.

568
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 4: Christmas got stolen When you couldn't win a game against

569
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 4: the NFC North, that was a problem.

570
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 3: I say, I meant NFC West, NFC West, the West

571
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 3: you're right.

572
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 2: Not the f C West.

573
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 5: N f C West, all right, Frozen Elsa. Elsa's power

574
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 5: is unstoppable when she's confident, but dangerous when she loses control.

575
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 3: Maybe that's George Pickens.

576
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 6: No, uh uh, actually really George.

577
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it George Pickins.

578
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, or CD.

579
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 3: It could be I'll tell you, it could be Jake.

580
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 4: It could be Jake Ferguson, Ferston catches it makes great

581
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 4: plays and then he's he's whirling around, spinning around, and

582
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 4: then the balls on the ground kind of guy. So

583
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 4: it's like that's kind of something that loses control. You're like,

584
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 4: oh my gosh. But and actually I think it's CD.

585
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 4: I think this is CD.

586
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 12: Yeah.

587
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: I think I would go with Pickings on that one.

588
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 3: Okay, I think he he has a.

589
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 4: Ways time yeh yeah.

590
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,479
Speaker 3: But you know what's interesting might be turping for me.

591
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 6: I would say, like Dak wouldn't be bad for this neither,

592
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 6: just because we see when Dak he doesn't get mad often.

593
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 6: But you could tell, like what if you saw a

594
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 6: sound of the sideline. I think it was the Eagles game,

595
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 6: Dak was fired up. I don't know, somebody from the

596
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 6: Eagles guy under his skin or something. But before that game,

597
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 6: it was some f bombs flying like yeah, you know them,

598
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 6: and he was like very animated and uh and went

599
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 6: out and played like it.

600
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 3: But yeah, that that can get going when he's when

601
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 3: he gets hot, you know.

602
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 5: Okay, that's Santa. That Santa shows up when you least

603
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 5: expect him and causes damage.

604
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 3: Is this Billy Bob Thornton?

605
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 5: This is I think so, So I'll post this question

606
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 5: with that White Cowboys weakness always seems to pop up

607
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 5: at the worst possible time.

608
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 6: M run defense because you think every time we've thought

609
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 6: and I'm talking not just this year, I'm talking years past.

610
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 2: Every time you think it might be fixed.

611
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 6: You get to that game where it's like, yeah, it's

612
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 6: not fixed yet. They still got some work to do

613
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 6: on this.

614
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 3: It's a pass rush, man. We can't real it's bad.

615
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 4: Santa show you're right best rushing every year, every every

616
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 4: week for sixteen weeks, Me and Watch have come in

617
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 4: here and said, this team has a compromised offensive line.

618
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 3: This is a compromised offense.

619
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 4: I only tell you, guys, it's a compromised offensive line.

620
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 3: Man. Where are the sacks? We're the finishing How about

621
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 3: finishing in the pocket. That's bad, Santa.

622
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 4: Get somebody back their home and all of a sudden

623
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 4: you can't get the quarterback on the ground. This pass

624
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 4: rush has been bad, Santa. To me, I think the

625
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 4: run defense has gotten better. I think the past, I

626
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 4: think the I think the pass rush has been been

627
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 4: a big problem this year.

628
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 6: And you know the reason why I said the run

629
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 6: game the run defense is because it's we talked about

630
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 6: with that Detroit game, even though the numbers were less,

631
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 6: it felt like they could run the ball whenever. And

632
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 6: that's where I'm just like, I expected this run defense

633
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 6: to be a lot more of a of an asset.

634
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 6: I think right now, it's okay, Right, that's the thing,

635
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 6: it's okay. I think they're okay.

636
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 3: I think they can pretty pretty much tested this week.

637
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 2: They will, they absolutely will.

638
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 3: Were good testing.

639
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 6: But but I thought they were fixed and Detroit showed

640
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 6: me they're not fixed.

641
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 2: They they're just.

642
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 3: This defense is really kind of who it is. It

643
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 3: really is.

644
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 5: I know we have to go, I have four left.

645
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 2: Sure, let's go another one.

646
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 5: It's it's Christmas, don't know, okay, last one to end it?

647
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 2: Then sure, let's do it.

648
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 5: And if we have time, we come back for the

649
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 5: next segment. Okay, the Polar Express. The Polar Express is

650
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 5: all about believing, or I would say, what do you

651
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 5: what did Cowboys fall have to believe in the most?

652
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 5: Right now?

653
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 2: Their quarterback?

654
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's yeah, it's a quarterback they got.

655
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 6: They got one of those quarterbacks in the league. Now

656
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 6: you have to say, he's aging, and so you always

657
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 6: wonder at how long does this last?

658
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 2: Well, right now, Dak Prescott.

659
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 5: We're aging.

660
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 2: We all are aging.

661
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,479
Speaker 3: But but right now, not right now, right that's facts.

662
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 6: Right now, Dak Prescott is one of the best quarterbacks

663
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 6: in the National Football League. That's what the Cowboys fans

664
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 6: can at least hang their hat on.

665
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 4: I would say maybe two three years ago you could

666
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 4: say their ability to draft that that, you know, like

667
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 4: it used to be like, boy, look at them, look

668
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 4: at man, they're they're making these picks work and all that.

669
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 4: There was a time been a little bit we'll see

670
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 4: what this past class. I think there's been some some

671
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 4: positives that you've seen, But there was a time where

672
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 4: I really did believe you can hang your hat on

673
00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 4: the their ability to draft players. And so but to

674
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 4: your point, Derek, I think that I think you could

675
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 4: really believe in. I think you could really believe in

676
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 4: I think you could believe in Ceedee Lamb. I think

677
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 4: you could believe in I think you could believe in

678
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 4: in Tyler Booker, by the way, I think you can

679
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 4: believe in him. That's something that should give you a

680
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 4: hope of a young guy that's.

681
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 3: Even with that whole interior of the offensive line. Yeah,

682
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 3: I think you got.

683
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 5: Something the future. You guys do believe in Schottenheimer.

684
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 6: I do until for the notice, Like that's the thing

685
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 6: about about all those kinds of things. You believe until

686
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 6: you don't. Right now, I believe he's putting this position.

687
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 6: I think he's taking this team in the right direction.

688
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 6: Now we'll see ultimately what that ends up meaning as

689
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 6: far as wins and losses on the field. I think

690
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 6: he is building what he said he wanted to build

691
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 6: the right kind of culture. I think he's building the

692
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 6: right kind of culture. I think he's figuring out what

693
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 6: players fit into that culture and which ones don't. I

694
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 6: think he's holding players accountable, which I've always thought is

695
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 6: necessary in order to have a good team in the

696
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 6: National Football League. So I think he's doing the right things.

697
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 6: The question just becomes how does he get like, how

698
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 6: does he handle a situation like this year where you

699
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 6: fall short? Does he get them to a point next

700
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 6: year where they can recover from those things. They see

701
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 6: the areas where they were really weak, and they improve

702
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 6: on those things in the off season so that by

703
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 6: the time they gets next year, we aren't talking about

704
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 6: the same things as problems.

705
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 3: In this next year as we talked about in twenty five.

706
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 4: I'd love to see him nine to seven and one,

707
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 4: finish this out because I think it buys some credibility.

708
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 4: Then the next thing I would like for him to

709
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 4: do is to go and be that guy that you

710
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 4: know now you know he's navigated the season. They had

711
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 4: a winning season it you know, maybe expectations were a

712
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 4: little low because he was a first time head coach.

713
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 4: But I'd love for him to be able to finish

714
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 4: nine seven and one, the three game winning streak, go

715
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 4: into the offseason, and then go in there with the

716
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 4: Joneses and say, listen, we've got to do something different

717
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 4: with our roster. We've got to go out and maybe

718
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 4: playing free agency a little more. Let's not bottom fish

719
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 4: on this thing. You know, I'll make a change at

720
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,959
Speaker 4: the defensive coordinator spot. If you allow me to do that,

721
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 4: I'll be happy to I'll get some guys study this,

722
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 4: we'll get it done the right way. But I just

723
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 4: want him to finish good so he can go in

724
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 4: there and then the Jones this.

725
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 3: Could say, you're right, you're right, you're right. If they

726
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 3: go out there and they lose.

727
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 4: Three straight and all of a sudden, it kind of

728
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 4: sputters and you're, you know, and you're kind of looking

729
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 4: at it. You know, the things that he really the culture,

730
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 4: the things, the words that he was saying with the players, Hey,

731
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 4: got to do this, got to do this.

732
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 3: Got that falls on kind of depth. He said it

733
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 3: last year.

734
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 4: But when you finish with a winning record, and you

735
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 4: finish on a good streak and you want to go

736
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 4: out there and then okay, that's not good enough. But

737
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 4: this is what we're going to do. That's what I

738
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 4: want for him. That's when I'm going to believe when

739
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 4: he walks in there and tells them, listen, we need

740
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 4: to get better at these positions. You know, instead of

741
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 4: just hey, it's okay, guys, whatever you want to do

742
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 4: in the off season, if you want to sign your

743
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 4: own and bottom fish and all that that's great, Please

744
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 4: don't do that, because if you do that, I have

745
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 4: no confidence in him.

746
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 6: The other thing I'll give him a lot of credit

747
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 6: for is this offense is an offense that took that

748
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 6: next step, and I think not as much attention has

749
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 6: been given the fact that he's the one running this

750
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 6: offense and moving from Mike McCarthy's offense to this offense.

751
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 6: I think he does deserve some credit for how good

752
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 6: this offense has played this year. Now you got to

753
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 6: give some difference. Also, the fact that you got George

754
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 6: Pickens out.

755
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 2: I think that makes a huge Yeah.

756
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 6: But all that being said, you coach, you you have,

757
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 6: and I do think that he's taken them. He's made

758
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 6: the most of that, and I think as a result,

759
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 6: you've had one of the better offenses right now, the

760
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 6: top offense when it comes to passing yards in the

761
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 6: National Football League.

762
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 4: I just wish and I appreciate what you said there, Derek,

763
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 4: But the thing that bothers me right now is we've

764
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 4: seen two games where somebody and you said it, I

765
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 4: know you and I got in.

766
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 3: This discussion yesterday.

767
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 4: Just just free him up a little bit more, you know,

768
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 4: if it means the vertical passing game. It turns into

769
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 4: fast interferences and stuff max that thing up and run

770
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 4: George Pickens on these corners. And all season long they've

771
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 4: struggled with him. They figured out how to play the

772
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 4: slant on him. Now kind of get him back in

773
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 4: that mode. And that's Schottenheimer's done a nice job. But man,

774
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 4: the last two weeks, you need to get one of

775
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 4: your best players.

776
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 6: Going and maybe the double move off that slant. There

777
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 6: are some things you can do with that. But but

778
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 6: you know, also that's where I get time. That's where

779
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,280
Speaker 6: I will also give him some some some a little

780
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 6: bit of grace and say, Okay, you've learned some things

781
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 6: this year from you your team. You've learned that this

782
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 6: is how teams are going to want to take away

783
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 6: George Pickens. So, by the way, if you keep George

784
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 6: Pickens and you go into next season, they should not be.

785
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 3: Able to do those same things to you.

786
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 6: That's where I'm like you to correct that and that

787
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 6: that was my point about That's where I will learn

788
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 6: a lot about Shoddy is if we're talking about the

789
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 6: same storylines of the challenges that they've had this year

790
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 6: next year. Now My question starts to be how are

791
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 6: we not adjusting, How are we not adapting?

792
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 2: How are we not getting better?

793
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 6: But if those things are no longer problems, they're always

794
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 6: going to be problems. They're always solving problems. As you say, Brian,

795
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:43,760
Speaker 6: is kind of like running a marathon.

796
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 3: It's just a.

797
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 6: Series of problems that you're solving, right, And so I

798
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 6: do think that that's a part of it, and I

799
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 6: think that's that's where I look at him and I'm saying,

800
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 6: if they can figure that part out, if they can

801
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,919
Speaker 6: solve these problems going into next year, then I think

802
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 6: that's where I really look at him and say, he's

803
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 6: taking a next step and he's a really, really great coach.

804
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,080

866
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 6: Let's see what we think going to happen real quick

867
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 6: before we make our picks. I did have one question

868
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 6: for you guys about this game. I'm going to give

869
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 6: you four names. Which one of these offensive players do

870
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 6: you think you really want to see more of this

871
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 6: week or in the subsequent two games beyond that in

872
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 6: order to help you with evaluations going into the offseason.

873
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:24,879
Speaker 6: Nate Thomas, Luke schoon Maker, Jalen Tolbert or Jonathan Mingo.

874
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 4: Nate Thomas. Nate Thomas for me, okay, I just feel

875
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 4: like to me though, because I've got to figure out

876
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 4: the right tackle thing. And Jeff Cavan I had a

877
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 4: discussion this morning on a podcast we do and we

878
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 4: had the discussion about he didn't feel like that that

879
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 4: Nate Thomas was all that great and he's going to

880
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 4: have to address it with the fourteenth pick potentially, and

881
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 4: that I disagreed with him. I think with this offensive

882
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 4: line coaches that you have the offensive staff that you have,

883
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 4: I really have a lot of faith. This kid basically

884
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 4: played his rookie year at tackle. There were some really

885
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,439
Speaker 4: some good things you saw. There's some bad things you saw.

886
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 4: I want to continue to see him play because now

887
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 4: I have a decision to make it right tackle, you know,

888
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,359
Speaker 4: and I want to make I want to make sure

889
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 4: that okay, I left tackle, you know. But I've got

890
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 4: some situation I go think about with Guidon because my

891
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 4: guy guiding can't stay healthy right now. I mean it's

892
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 4: a young guy that's now kind of been banged up.

893
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 4: But I want to see I want to continue to

894
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 4: see more from Nate Thomas. I know the thing with

895
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,399
Speaker 4: Mingo and all, it's a wide receiver thing and all that.

896
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 4: I think that's going to take care of itself. But

897
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 4: I just want to continue to get Nate Thomas.

898
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 3: More reps for me.

899
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,439
Speaker 5: And all of these are great names. I think all

900
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 5: of them are the right answer to above. With me,

901
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 5: I've still seen very little of Mingo, And you know,

902
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 5: going back to last year when he got on the team,

903
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 5: there wasn't enough time there for him, and then this

904
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 5: year still not enough time. So I don't want to

905
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 5: go into next year being like, oh, I want to

906
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 5: see Mingo, see what he's got, Like I want to know.

907
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 5: I want to know and have a better eye idea

908
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 5: of what exactly we have with Jonathan Mingo. Now I'm

909
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 5: curious to see, does Dak, let's say they're out this weekend,

910
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 5: does Dak continue to play for the rest of them?

911
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:11,399
Speaker 3: That's that's now.

912
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 4: This thing if also turns Saturday and they and Philly wins,

913
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 4: my attitude, Yeah, you're gonna try and win the Chargers game.

914
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 3: Play it.

915
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 4: I'm not playing on that bad turf with the Commander's field,

916
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 4: that that thing late in the year, that's a nightmare.

917
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 4: And then the thing at the Meadowlands there at that

918
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 4: MetLife Stadium, that turf, I'm not playing.

919
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 2: You're not playing any Dak.

920
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 4: I agree, you could, you could, You can tell you

921
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 4: can take everybody off the practice squad and play them

922
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 4: and all that. You know, Yeah, they're gonna want to

923
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 4: win games. We as a whole when you work in

924
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 4: this organization. You want to win games, you don't want

925
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,280
Speaker 4: to tank games. I wouldn't be complaining about the spot.

926
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 4: You know, if I could go up a little bit

927
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 4: and pick a little bit better player, I'd be happy

928
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 4: about that. But to me, Dak Prescott, if you're eliminated

929
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 4: and you want to play this game against the Chargers,

930
00:42:59,160 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 4: try and win it.

931
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 3: I guess with Shot he's trying to do win games.

932
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 3: I think it's important. I just told you how important

933
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 3: it was.

934
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 4: But man, I'm thinking about Dak Prescott and maybe with

935
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 4: Joe Milton, I could beat the Commanders, and I can

936
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 4: and I can find a way to beat the Giants,

937
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 4: so that that would be my I.

938
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 5: Give him your experience.

939
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 6: Well that's the thing. And I don't know if they

940
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 6: will do it. I think they'll play that. But in

941
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 6: my opinion, I actually think it's a great thing to

942
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,359
Speaker 6: evaluate Milton, Like, you still want to find out can

943
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 6: Milton be your backup? Can he a sustainable backup for

944
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 6: the next several years? And I think you got to

945
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 6: get him into some game situations.

946
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 4: See he played, he played in Buffalo last year a

947
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,959
Speaker 4: game in the final game of season, played really really well.

948
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 3: To me, give him these next two games.

949
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 4: If that, if you in factor eliminated, you know, and

950
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 4: I would even consider maybe not even playing Quinn Williams

951
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 4: and some other guys like that. I am not interested.

952
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 4: I'm not interested in having my star players playing meaningless games.

953
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 6: I'm already worried about what's going to happen with with

954
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 6: Deron Bland and whatever might come of that.

955
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 2: If he's going to have to have surgery, I don't.

956
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 3: Say what of that. I think I know what's going

957
00:43:58,840 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 3: to happen here.

958
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 4: If I could just quick, they're gonna look at the

959
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 4: screw that's in his foot. Screw might have to be replaced.

960
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 4: That's what they're kind of talking about right now. Maybe

961
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 4: not a full on, completely reconstructed kind of thing, but

962
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 4: right now there's some concern about the screw.

963
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 12: Yeah.

964
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 6: I mean, at this point, I just want him to

965
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 6: be able to get an off season. Yeah, I think

966
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 6: it's important for him to get an off seas And

967
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 6: I wanted to be able to play pain free too,

968
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 6: because that's also part of it. I wonder how much

969
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,320
Speaker 6: of the struggles that we saw this year are related

970
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 6: to that.

971
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 3: You know, there's probably some there too.

972
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, real quick, give me some picks for this game.

973
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 2: What do you think is gonna happen? Cowboys versus Chargers.

974
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 5: I give flip flopping in my head because the Cowboys

975
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 5: are one of those themes that they can very much,

976
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 5: They can very well go out and win and then

977
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 5: you're like, well, what where was all that last week?

978
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 5: Where was it? But I am picking them to lose.

979
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 5: I think one more team has a lot more to

980
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 5: fight for at the moment. And again, like we said,

981
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 5: we'll find out on Saturday if the Cowboys are in

982
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 5: or out, which we Okay, that's not right, but I

983
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 5: think the they're still gonna show up. They're gonna put

984
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 5: up a five. But the Chargers get the win on

985
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 5: this one. I would say thirty five twenty three, okay.

986
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is Dallas is probably gonna lose this game.

987
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 4: I would say this game is going to be in

988
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 4: the range of thirty to twenty.

989
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 6: Four, right, And of course I'm gonna pick the Cowboys,

990
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 6: but I will say this, I do think, actually, what

991
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 6: the surprise of this.

992
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 2: The surprise of this will.

993
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 6: Be the Cowboys defense will play better, and then everybody's

994
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 6: gonna be left saying.

995
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 3: Why didn't I do this?

996
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 2: A few weeks ago, but I do think they will

997
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 2: play better.

998
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 6: I do think it will help having Eva Flus up

999
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 6: top and being able to really just evaluate what's happening

1000
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 6: in the moment, make decisions and adjustments a lot quicker,

1001
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 6: which could affect at and I think this offense will

1002
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 6: continue to do what this offense does.

1003
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 3: I don't think I don't think that was their best

1004
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 3: game last week at home.

1005
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 6: Certainly this season, I think they'll get back on the

1006
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 6: track of what they've been at home offensively, and so

1007
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 6: I do think they'll get a win. Give me, I

1008
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 6: don't know, thirty three to twenty seven.

1009
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 2: How about that?

1010
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:05,640
