How did you know that's when you 44 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: say it's something about a woozy. We don't need tec, 45 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: you don't need his TVC. Yeah, at least it's still 46 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: it's not an injury, right, if that's a good thing. 47 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: Guys that didn't practice, just David Irving, Tavon Austin, Shawn Lee, Uh, 48 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 1: Jeff Swain. I mentioned a woozier. Tyrn Tyrn Smith was dressed, 49 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: he had his pads on, he did all the stuff beforehand, 50 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: and then after they did a couple of their little 51 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 1: drills and they were actually going to get into something, 52 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: he went outside and he was doing conditioning work with 53 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: strength and conditioning coach Mike Woissick. So at least he 54 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: was dressed, and that's more than he did the prior 55 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: to the Saints game on on Thursday night. So I 56 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: guess that's a step in the right direction. I think 57 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: there's some optimism that he can play, But maybe their 58 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: thought was you guys there's no sense him banging that 59 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: shoulder in pads. You know, if you're gonna do it, 60 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: do it in the game. Let's not wasted in practice. 61 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: So he was he probably I guess they'll probably list 62 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: him as limited. Zack Martin was out there, he did 63 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: the early stuff and Jason Garrett said in the press 64 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: comment he probably would be limited. Uh, same with Sea A. 65 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: Philo was out there. It has a little bit of 66 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: a hank ankle. And then also MALIEK. Collins might be 67 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: a little limited. He was still trying to work through. 68 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: I guess it was the knee thing he had and 69 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: the good nos he is as Cole Beasley was out 70 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: there and looked like he was getting ready to do 71 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: everything they asked him, So I think there was some 72 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: worry about him with his foot that came out of 73 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: that game, and I think he's he looked like he 74 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: was moving pretty well. He was working on the cards 75 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: early and then kind of moved into what everybody else did. 76 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: So Tyrn, there you have it. Tyrn is. I got 77 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: the impression that they had hoped Tyrn would be ready 78 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 1: to go. If he's not, are we starting to get 79 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: serious concerns? Well, the last couple. I mean like last 80 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 1: week when he when they kind of knew he wasn't 81 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: ready to go that early portion of practice when they 82 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: kind of do some skeleton drills, Cam Fleming was out 83 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: there with the first team. He wasn't out there with 84 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: the first team. This time, Tyrone was out there. So 85 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,239 Speaker 1: I think that's a good sign that he's probably moving 86 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: closer and closer to playing on Sunday, and they need 87 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 1: him out there. By the way, David Irving, man, you 88 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: know me me personally, I think he's done for the year. 89 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: But what's your feel you a little bit closer to 90 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: the team. Yeah, I look at him as you know, 91 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: when you order an ice cream Sunday, the Sunday is 92 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: pretty good. If you get the cherry on top, sometimes 93 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: it's better, right, So I think he's the cherry on top. Yeah, 94 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: they're counting on it. Yeah. I mean, it's a high 95 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: ankle sprain and those things are usually four to six 96 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: weeks and then you know, whatever else he's got going on. 97 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: Who knows, but yeah, somebody said that they he's been 98 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: seen in the building at least on Monday, which is 99 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: more than I've seen since he left on the scooter. 100 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: That day kneeling with the bad ankle on the scooter 101 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: one of those little electrical things. So hopefully he's not 102 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: going too fast on it. What's uh, I haven't heard 103 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: really a specific timeline on Swam. It was gonna be 104 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember, because I was sure was a 105 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: dad thing to say, like, oh, he's not going too 106 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: fast for four weeks. Maybe he had to have screws 107 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: inserted into the fracture of the bone in his hands. 108 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: And I was told, until the screws come out, he's 109 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: not going to be able to play, even if they 110 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: pad it up, because obviously you don't have much padding 111 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: in your hand back at your hand, so those screws 112 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: have to come out first. So maybe by the end 113 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: of the season, maybe another week or two, and then 114 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: he would see if they could play with a pad on. 115 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: You know, I just want people I want I want 116 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: people to see how good he is. But you know, 117 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: and I said this about five years ago, I said, 118 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: I want people to know how good Sean lives. And 119 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: I don't think Swain is as great as Sean lives. 120 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: But the injury thing, man, yeah, say, helped saying yesterday 121 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: Swains one of the better tight ends in the league. 122 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: If you it's it's and Mick probably can name him 123 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: better than I can. But it's four or five great 124 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: tight ends in this league, and then there's the rest 125 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: of the guys, and Swain is at the top of 126 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,679 Speaker 1: the rest of those guys. That's just what I believe. 127 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: I don't know what other teams can develop in their 128 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: tight end position. But he run his routes and he's 129 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: better than an adequate blocker, and he run his routes 130 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: and he catches balls. What he does need maybe that 131 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: Kelsey don't need, because Kelsey was by kind of doing 132 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: his own thing for a long time him and grown is. 133 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: He may need other pieces around him to where he 134 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: can be a compliment piece. But as a tight end, 135 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: as I look at tight ends, he's a good more 136 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: than service was tight end. To me, that's just a 137 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: complete tight end, not just a guy you're going to 138 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: send out in the slot and throw passes to like 139 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: zach Ernst h So, uh yeah, and I think they 140 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: missed they missed his blocking on the line of scrimmage. 141 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: You think that, you know, there's so much concern about 142 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: the tight end position coming into this year. Obviously we're 143 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,959 Speaker 1: not getting twenty five twenty seven year old Jason Witten production. 144 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 1: But are we getting the same production we would have 145 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: gotten out of Jason Witten this year? I think they 146 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: would have scaled back his snaps uh this year to 147 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 1: try to preserve him number one. And you know, I 148 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 1: don't know that you know the last year or so 149 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,719 Speaker 1: that his blocking on the line of scrimmage was what 150 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,599 Speaker 1: he'd been used to seeing. It's came out with like 151 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,079 Speaker 1: two or three games because every year, memmy, be like, 152 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 1: Jason ain't doing it, and then as the season go on, 153 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: you get better and better. I'm like, wow, it takes 154 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 1: him a couple of games to get warmed up to 155 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: that speed. And believe it or not, because they he 156 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: didn't practice like you know they're saying with SHANNIEMI took 157 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: Shanny one or two games where he just stopped being 158 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: Sean Lee. That happens with time. Yeah, And I think 159 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 1: that the more that Schultz has played, I think the 160 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: better he's he's become. Yeah, he seemed like a guy 161 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 1: that they like, almost a wasted traffick and training camp. Yeah, 162 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: and again you gotta remember these are rookies and they're 163 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: all of a sudden going from playing against the twenty 164 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: year old guy to thirty year old defensive end. Yeah, 165 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: and see Jason, and what that is? This is one 166 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: thing I like about Jason. They saw, okay, he ain't 167 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: where we thought he was. And then and instead of 168 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: them see instead of them saying, okay, he's just gonna 169 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: beat him down, they brought him alone. And a lot 170 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: and a lot of people don't like that, but they 171 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: brought him alone. And so now he's starting to come 172 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: in Like Blake Jordan, I'm like, I'm like, why is 173 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 1: they even putting this dude in the field, because you 174 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: know how, you know what I started calling the guy 175 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: seeing man, he's snake bit, He's snake bit. Yeah, but 176 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: now things are starting to come in and sometimes you 177 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: just take that time and uh shouts up. Thing gonna 178 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: be all right, But Swain is better than all right. 179 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: And uh and if if we gotta go I don't 180 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: think we have to go out and uh, you know, 181 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: David Hellman may think a little different, or a few 182 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: other guys. I don't think we have to go out 183 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: and make drafting a tight end a priority. I just don't. 184 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 1: I don't believe that. Yeah, I was one of that too. 185 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: If we've made so much about the weakness at tight end, 186 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 1: but is it that much weaker than I mean, I 187 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: think the tight if you have one of those guys 188 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 1: the Kelsey's yeah, hearns, Hey, that's great. Yeah. But if 189 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: you don't have that guy and you just have a 190 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: complete tight end, if you get to the end of 191 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: the season and you tell me I didn't make the 192 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: playoffs because I didn't have a good enough tight end, 193 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: all right, listening, right, Yeah, that's weak. It's only two 194 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,959 Speaker 1: tight ends in this league right now, and it's never 195 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 1: been more than one that you can say, Hey, that 196 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,719 Speaker 1: guy that can get me to the super Bowl. And 197 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: that's just how it goals. I mean, it's been some 198 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: great tight ends that came through these but you still 199 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 1: needed them outside guys to make that great tight end greater, 200 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: you know, you know what I'm saying. I mean, think 201 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: about what Ernest did the first time around against the Cowboys. Yeah, 202 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: fourteen catches for one hundred forty five yards, and they 203 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: really didn't score the get to twenty until that last 204 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: drive when the Cowboys were trying to make them milk 205 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: the clock to down the field. So despite fourteen catches 206 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: for one hundred and forty five yards. You know, with 207 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: a few minutes left in the game, they had thirteen points. 208 00:11:55,440 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: So because tight end the traditional tight end, and even 209 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: if he in the slot, he still brings the extra 210 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: man into the box. He still you know, people said, 211 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,199 Speaker 1: And the only time he can really help you is 212 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: if he's legit like that. Now, he really helps the 213 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: slot receiver because they got to make this decision on 214 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: on who they're gonna double on the inside. That's why 215 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: I think, now, you know, the outside guy really helps 216 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: Cold Beasley. But if outside in, if we had sway 217 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: somebody that we can just really have in there now 218 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: Cold Beasty, because I'm like, we shouldn't lose on Cold 219 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,839 Speaker 1: We shouldn't, you know. And now I didn't know he 220 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: was hurt, you know. Yeah, he finished the game though, right, 221 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: so that was the good news. But he did kind 222 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: of on the play that he dove for the first down. Yeah, 223 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 1: he kind of sprained his foot a little bit. But 224 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 1: I saw him doing the cord work out there and 225 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,839 Speaker 1: he looked like he was moving just fine. It's just uh, 226 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: Cold Cold. She was having some outstanding games now, I mean, 227 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 1: going down the stretch man I wanted to be surprised. 228 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: He should have averaged at least five catches, not no. 229 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: Five charge. He should average five catches, sixty or seventy 230 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 1: yards just first downs every game. He should. At this 231 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: point it seems it's obviously because of Cooper his targets 232 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: have dropped though, So yeah, but you gotta remember when 233 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: they was willing and he had the seven hundred yards season, 234 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: we had witting and Dad's doing well. So h man, 235 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: I believe that you can beat people with a complete 236 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:37,719 Speaker 1: package if you're if you got a Marie Cooper and 237 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: you got Zeke in the backfield and your office line 238 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 1: is starting to trying to be something. Now, all you 239 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: need is a good slot, a good tight end, and 240 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: a good other receiver. You don't need them great, You 241 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: just need them to be good, be consistent. And I 242 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: think cold Bees is on the upper end of slot receivers, 243 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 1: so we should be. We should. Yeah, because I got 244 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: so helme in it showed a happy out. They meet 245 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: twenty eight points shouldn't be an issue for us. Now, 246 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: I mean, do you think I think you're right there? 247 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: I'm right there with you, you know, and as long 248 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 1: as you as long as you don't keep wasting firsting 249 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: goals at the four and having to kick a field goal, 250 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: you know, and that's happened far too many times last 251 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: four or five games. I mean, okay, yes, twenty eight 252 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: points shouldn't be an issue, but it is. So why 253 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: it is at all about the red zone? I mean why? 254 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: I mean, it's what We're still twenty fourth in the 255 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: league in points. Yeah, and I don't know if if 256 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: the New Orleans game was an outlier because the offense 257 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: was starting to roll, you know, the amount of points 258 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: they were producing in the during this four game winning streak. 259 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: The other three games the offense was rolling, the guy's 260 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: numbers have been high. U So I mean yeah, I mean, 261 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: what are you want against Washington? Twenty two against the 262 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: Falcons points and then what was the other seven? And 263 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: twenty seven at the Eagles. So if you're right around 264 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: that twenty five to twenty eight, you're you're doing fine. 265 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: If I offensive line can just take away four sacks, 266 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: four or five, I'm serious, you're gonna give up one 267 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: or two sacks just on mistakes. But when you start 268 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: getting the four or five, that's you got to stop 269 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: about seven? Yeah, yeah, I know you gotta stop. Even 270 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: I don't even want to go to six or seven. 271 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: You you have to find a way to not let 272 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: him get hit that many times, and he has to 273 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: find a way to get that field back so he 274 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: can drop to the ground or something close, you know, 275 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: to protect that ball. But I know in this league now, 276 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: you can give up some sacks and you can still 277 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: have a success passing game. But to be plummeted, you 278 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: can't be plummeted isn't expected to perform, you know what 279 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: I'm saying. I mean, think about it. What he what 280 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: did he'd he throw for against the Saints? Like two 281 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: hundred and forty yards? Yeah, he got sacked seven times times. Yeah, 282 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: they and four in the first half, three and the second. 283 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: The sacks don't don't show or haven't harmed what they've done. 284 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: Because you get sacked seven times, they still win the game. 285 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: Right over the four game winning streak, he's been sacked 286 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: seventeen times and they've won all four games. That number 287 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: suggests you should lose. Yeah. Yeah, in their history they've 288 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: times when they've been sacked seven times, they've won six 289 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: out of their entire history. That don't even make sense. Yeah, well, 290 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: how about the eleven sacks when I mean when they've 291 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: been sacked seven times, they want they won six games. 292 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: They usually lose those. Yeah, they didn't win those games 293 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: when they got sacked eleven times. Newton. But the think 294 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: what you're trying to do is and a lot of 295 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: it's kind of like the NBA is like you can 296 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: shoot forty five percent in twols, thirty nine percent in threes, 297 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: thirty nine sent in threes, gonna wine, you know. So 298 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: people saying now they need plays, they just want more 299 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 1: and more offensive plays. They need to plays. We can 300 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: get enough plays, we're gonna score some points. Well, we're 301 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: not built like that. We build on efficiency. So when 302 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: we get inside the rid zone, that is truly truly 303 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: big for us because we ain't striking anywhere on the field. 304 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: Besides what Cooper has done, you know, we ain't. We 305 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: just not as by this much with Gallop right, Yeah, 306 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: those big plays, Yeah, haven't quite hit those. Well. We 307 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 1: mentioned the offensive line a couple of times with the injuries, 308 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: the guys that were kind of banged up, and then 309 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: with the other Travis missing totally. But if you've all 310 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 1: seen her to now John Owen, The Morning News Today 311 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: had an article that from his film review, he thinks 312 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 1: that Connor Williams should now be put back in over Suefila. 313 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 1: I know we've talked about before. You gotta let these 314 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: young guys play, You gotta let him go. But how 315 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: do you find that balance between not messing with a 316 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: streak and giving your young guy chance to get in there. Well, 317 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: if if if, if Xavier's playing that bad, coaches will 318 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: make the change back. If he if he's playing that bad, 319 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,439 Speaker 1: they will make the change back. Yeah, you know, because 320 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: they they feel like Connor is their future. If he 321 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: if he's giving you just as much as the older guy, 322 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: they'll put him back by the same tone. If they don't, 323 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: they won't. His reasoning was, Williams is a better pass blocker, 324 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: excuse me, although he's not as big as Suephila, he's 325 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: a little quicker in the run game, and he's healthier 326 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: right now, which I was. I thought I saw diminishing 327 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,360 Speaker 1: returns with Sue Philo, and I thought it was him, 328 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 1: bade him a couple of times. I thought it was 329 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: time to put Connor Williams back in there. But again, 330 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: we don't know that he is totally healthy. You know 331 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: it's a he did have sir jury, right, had his 332 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: knees scoped. Uh, and look how long it You know, 333 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 1: Taco kind of got back, but he hasn't really played 334 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: a heck of a lot. So I don't know if 335 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: maybe he's not totally ready to go back out there. Now. 336 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 1: You can go out there and and be jumbo, you know, 337 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: Jumbo Connor and the three tight end deal. But it's 338 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: only a couple plays a game. It's not sixty. So 339 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if that has anything to do with 340 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: it too. But Jason made it sound like that they 341 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: were rolling with Sue Filo. When you're facing a team 342 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: like this, it has such a strong defensive line, is 343 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: it the time you don't mess with? Yeah, keep a 344 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: bigger guy out there that might be a little more sturdy. Yeah, 345 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: it's Fletcher Cox will cause you a problem. And you know, 346 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: watching watching the way they play just a little bit, 347 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: I didn't watch just deep into that D and D 348 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 1: lines against Washington, but you know, Fletcher finally started gets 349 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: a push and and Graham got a sack. You know, 350 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 1: it's just I don't know what's besides lacking the intensity. Uh. 351 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: You know, people can say the injuries and all that. 352 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: But when you coming off of the Super Bowl intensity 353 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,719 Speaker 1: you thought you had the year before, you know, when 354 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: you didn't realize what was happening, and now you're gonna 355 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: now you can measure that, Like you said, you can 356 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: measure that pressure now, and it's there. It's like a 357 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: cloud when they walk into the facility. It's like a 358 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: cloud coming down on you. You know. He wore me 359 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: out about that pressure yesterday. You know, but Mick, you 360 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: were here twenty five years right, you were here our 361 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: first year. Did we ever think about pressure when it 362 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: just it wasn't there that that's surprise. My assumption being 363 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: on the outside is that, you know, this Eagles game 364 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: is bigger than the Saints game, and the closer you 365 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: get the playoffs, some more pressure these young guys especially, 366 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 1: you're gonna feel. But Nate said that's not the case. 367 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,040 Speaker 1: I found that fascinating. Yeah, I think it's kind I 368 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 1: know how the head coach, yeah, presents it because ye 369 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: that if you guys heard in the press conference today, 370 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: that's that was all the questions, you know, how do 371 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 1: you handle this is a big game? And he answered 372 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: the question, and I swore when he said it It's 373 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: like I thought I was listening to Troy Aikman, Yeah, 374 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: because he said something about if this is the big 375 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: game and I do something different than did I cheat 376 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 1: myself in the other games? Yeah, that wasn't a big 377 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: game because the question was it was, I'm not gonna 378 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: make this game bigger than another game, because it's only 379 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: sixteen of them. And so if I make this game 380 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: bigger and we lose that game, what was I doing 381 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 1: all the rested? Again? Yeah? Or what do I say 382 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: next year? You know, that's what one one couple of 383 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: weeks ago brought us and I got into yet pretty bad. Yeah. 384 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: But but my point was you can't just say okay 385 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 1: every game, you know, and act like, okay, we got 386 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,439 Speaker 1: to ratchet it up because this one's important, because, as 387 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: you just said, Kurt, when you get to this point 388 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: in the season and you win one, now the next 389 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: game is even bigger, yes it is, and then you 390 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: win that and the next games even bigger. So you 391 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: can't come in and just declare this is the big one, 392 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: because and then what if you lose, then what's the 393 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: next one. I'm gonna tell you something, even Keil, And 394 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: and that's why I think that's how you get away 395 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: from pressure, if you know. And the only thing I 396 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: can equate it with is, uh, you know, you're you're 397 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: you're playing tennis, and you know, as you get closer 398 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: to closing out a set, well, yeah, and the pressure 399 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: goes up. If you're just thinking about the result more 400 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 1: than the point, you get yourself in trouble. You just 401 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: got to play the point and see, this is what 402 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: Because Kurt was like, it was like, because I didn't 403 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: you know, me and Kurt, God, I don't want him 404 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: think that I'm griping a moment. You know what I'm saying. 405 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: It's him put me to think it. And then then 406 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: I look around the league. Well, if that's the case, 407 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: Jerry Golf should fall apart. Uh, Patrick Mahomes should be crumbling. 408 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying. But some guys are some 409 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: teams depending on who the coach is. That's what I 410 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: was setting curtainer. That's the curt I said. Jimmy wouldn't 411 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: let it be about us. He let it be he 412 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: He made it big and fun. He's like man, y'all boy, 413 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: y'all won last week. But this game here, Oh, you 414 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: really want to show the world what you made out up, 415 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: you know, and it's just about yeah, you up the ammy, 416 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: but you don't make it like pipe or death. And 417 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: I think Jason does a good job of that. And 418 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: I know everybody probably got bored with his answer. Oh 419 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: they didn't like it. But that's that's that's I turned 420 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: off for. That's the reality of it. I turned off. 421 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: I said he, I said they they asked for it, 422 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: and I'm going to turn off for the next minute 423 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: because he gave it. Because when you asked that question, 424 00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: you should know what the answer is gonna be from 425 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: at least. Yeah, it's coming like the one question about 426 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are in the driver's seat. Yeah, it's like 427 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: what driver's seat. It's a little small driver's seat if 428 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: if they are, because there are only one game ahead 429 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: of two teams and they got to play the Eagles 430 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 1: on Sunday. But you know what's kind of driver's seat. 431 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 1: You know what's so amazing, it's the fact that it's 432 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: one on two men. Yeah, oh sorry, yeah, no, no, 433 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: you can stay as long as you want. Uh. You 434 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: know what's so amazing though, is uh? And I brought 435 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: this up yesterday. Rivera coach, rivera how he's taken over 436 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: the defensive calling. Dude in firing PA and you see 437 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: and see this is what you You don't panic too soon, 438 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: and this is when you start panic because coach that okay, 439 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 1: we're on a four game s kid, we got to 440 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 1: change something. Now it's time to change. If you're gonna 441 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: change something, ain't gonna go fire your head coach. I'm 442 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 1: talking about if you're gonna change something within your staff. 443 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: Now is that time? Because everybody is within a game 444 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: up of six orn or over six. You either six 445 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:11,199 Speaker 1: and five or six and whatever? Are you seven and whatever? 446 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 1: And it's crunch time. It's crunch time. And this is 447 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 1: how you mess up your team. It's when the coach 448 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: starts panicking. I want to see what the Panthers do 449 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: because the coach it's panic. I'm serious. So now how 450 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: is the team to respond? Yeah? Right? And since you 451 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 1: got red, it reminded me of you know, Oklahoma trying 452 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 1: to fix their defense right right, Well, they didn't really 453 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: fix it, nah nah nah, changing defensive coordinators. That's what 454 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: I said. When you see your studs, your star players, 455 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: and your coaches start getting nervous, that not the young guys. 456 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 1: What what's the issue here? Now? Yesterday we was cool. 457 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 1: But what's going on here? So now you got everybody 458 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: doubting everybody. That's when they started Mountain. I think it's 459 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 1: okay for us to understand and point out the ramifications 460 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: of the game. Yeah, they just need to play and 461 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: they know right, they know where they're at. They understand. 462 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: But if one game away from the Bears losing, yeah, 463 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: you one game away from taking over your division, and 464 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: you one game away from being back in the wild 465 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: card hunt.

I thought I told you I 522 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: thought I told you okay too, he thought he told 523 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: you too. What's that tell me? Yeah? Yeah? But here, Uh, 524 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 1: I told you many he wouldn't have nowhere to run. 525 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,479 Speaker 1: You got him? Yeah, But I meant to say Kamara 526 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: didn't have nowhere to run either, because really nobody runs 527 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: the ball against us. It's just not you really don't 528 00:29:56,120 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: do that. I mean, it's that's supposed doing. I mean, 529 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: two years ago he was the number one run defense 530 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: and y'all said he had a couple of days ago 531 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: on the show. If I you know, I was playing 532 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: with that plan with a mediocre, mediocre defense a couple 533 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: of years ago. And that's what I'm saying. Those guys 534 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: weren mediocre. I think our you know, our front seven 535 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: Wassid it, but our corners from mediocre, so you know 536 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: that's why we were number one and run defense. But 537 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: you know, but our corners weren't great, so we sent 538 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: its like top fifteen overall. So you know, that's that's 539 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: what it was. So what you think about these corners 540 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: right now? Give us your rinkings on that, y oh man. 541 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you know Byron Jones is lockdown. I don't 542 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: want him putting his gun out until we're running off 543 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 1: the field celebration, you know what I mean, Wait till, 544 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: wait till it was fourth down and it was about 545 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: the pump because you put your gun out. That's what 546 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: I don't want to tell Biden. But other than that, man, 547 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: he wanted the best, you know. And Tito, I mean 548 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: we talked about Cheto, but the only person I've seen 549 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: beat Cheeto really is is Hulio. And who then Hulio 550 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: be right? So what you know? So we you know, 551 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: he yung, he cadn't go get better every year, so 552 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: you know we gotta ride with him, you know, But 553 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: just real quick, let's look at the staff. For me. 554 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: I don't think we're scoring in the red zone because 555 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: that ain't running. Man, you can't run every other time. 556 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you'll run on third down and put your 557 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: head down, your bulldog and you a ride. And we 558 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: know that once we get inside the ten, that's faked 559 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: to Zeke. I mean that hand off to Zeke, it 560 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: ain't going nowhere. If you ain't a threat to run 561 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 1: the ball, it's just gonna crash down on. That's why 562 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: we ain't run that play to Beasley. When Beasley dropped 563 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: that play, run that play. You won't keep dropping that. 564 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: What are we saving stuff like that for? I don't 565 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: get it right. Yeah, that's twenty points out there with 566 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: that stuff like that. And you know that one throw 567 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: to Gallup, I mean that's twenty points right there. If 568 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: our defense keep playing like this, if nobody, nobody Curtis 569 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: all right, he brings up something I want to ask 570 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: you guys, and that I mean right now, let me 571 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 1: drill some stats into the beat you down with this stuff. 572 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 1: But we're second in average time of possession per drive 573 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 1: three h five. We're fourth in the league in average 574 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: yards per drive six point three three. But those aren't 575 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 1: turning into points really, we're seventeenth and points per drive. 576 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,479 Speaker 1: How it's all coming down to the red zone. Right, 577 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: and how does that get fixed? Yeah, and they just 578 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 1: haven't been good enough inside the ten yard line. I 579 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: think four of they've only scored touchdowns on four of 580 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: their last nine first in goals and that's not good enough. 581 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: And three of them have been first in goal at 582 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: the four but you just mentioned one of them. Beasley 583 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 1: dropped the touchdown pass a heck of a call, wide open, 584 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: you know, and then you struggle they leaked pass coverage 585 00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: this pass game or the game before. Right. Uh, Noah 586 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: Brown's wide open the left side of the end zone. 587 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 1: No one covered him, and Dack's back pedaling and he's 588 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: got to throw the ball up because he's gonna get 589 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: sacked and he come up short. So they've had some 590 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: good plays in there, they just haven't executed or you know, 591 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 1: caught the ball or protected the quarterback and you know, 592 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: and what happens is you're four yards away from the 593 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 1: goal line. I get it, and yeah, just hand Zeke 594 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 1: the ball. Well what do you think the defense is 595 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: thinking too? They're gonna stock the box. And the one 596 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: thing that Cowboys don't have, well, actually two things we 597 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: talked about it this morning. One, you know, you might 598 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: not have a savvy enough tight end to figure out 599 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 1: the congestion in there like Witton did to get open 600 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 1: and number two the back shoulder fade. They don't really 601 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 1: have a wide receiver. They can jump up high and 602 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: go get the ball. Now, I think Gallup might turn 603 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: into that. He's a little bigger than everybody thinks, so 604 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: they're a little limited in that close end stuff. But 605 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 1: they need to figure it out because it's got to 606 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: be better. Back in the day when you were playing it. 607 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 1: I mean, everybody knew you're gonna run. Line up, line up, 608 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: and you run and the Jim Schwartz, the Eagles defensive 609 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 1: quarters coordinator, said yesterday that they pretty much know what 610 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:18,479 Speaker 1: Dallas is going to do. You know, it's a pretty 611 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: simple run game in his opinion. So a lot of 612 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: fans wonder, and I wonder too. Are they just getting 613 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: too cute on the goal line? Do they just need 614 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: to line it up and go? I mean, it's why 615 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 1: has Zeke ever come off the field, whether he runs 616 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: the ball or not. I mean, they just need to 617 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,399 Speaker 1: get up, get up and get in there. I wish 618 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: they would if if they were going to just get 619 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 1: up and go and hand them the ball don't come 620 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 1: in with three tight ends because basically you're saying, you know, 621 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:48,240 Speaker 1: it's like that big neon sign that says, yeah, like okay, 622 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna run, are you n run? We got three 623 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 1: tight ends? And sometimes you got to back people off 624 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 1: and say, okay, are you sure all three tight ends 625 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: are blocking? You know? Are you sure we're not going 626 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,799 Speaker 1: to throw it at you? Otherwise sometimes you just beat 627 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: your head against the wall. And I think the misnomer 628 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 1: is is this line is so good they're gonna blow 629 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,839 Speaker 1: people off the line of script when you got when 630 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 1: you got three backups in there, I'll tell us here, man, 631 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,800 Speaker 1: it's gotta be fixed. I mean, whether you're throwing it. 632 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 1: And more important, we can't take sacks down there, Yeah, 633 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 1: just cannot or penalties. Sacks and penalties. That's that That 634 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 1: has happened to us a couple of times. But when 635 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:31,439 Speaker 1: it took sacks and penalties, and it's just it's that's 636 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 1: that's a bad thing. You know, I don't care how 637 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: you get it in there. You gotta you gotta get 638 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 1: it in there because uh, you gotta pay attention to 639 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,760 Speaker 1: you got to realize if I'm gonna make a mistake, 640 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 1: it just cannot be down here. You gotta pay you 641 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,840 Speaker 1: gotta pay attention to detail. Man, This is this is 642 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:53,800 Speaker 1: this is the most this is the least UH worked 643 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 1: on deal because it's so physical. Goal line, it's so 644 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,760 Speaker 1: physical in such a small area. But it's most important 645 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 1: when you get down there. It becomes you know what 646 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 1: everybody tell us about. Hey man, they're terribling the rid zone. 647 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: They didn't get down there before times, but those were 648 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,759 Speaker 1: four great times that you needed to score seven, you know, 649 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 1: And the other guy called and said, you know, the 650 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 1: dack's got to run the ball more. Well, okay, you 651 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 1: you go empty. And and now people have seen that, right, 652 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 1: they've seen the quarterback draw. I think he wanted the 653 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:30,239 Speaker 1: the oh he wanted to run option. Yeah, but a 654 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 1: lot of times everybody's saying one, they just call that draw. Well, 655 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,760 Speaker 1: you've got to set it up. It's not like, okay, 656 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 1: let's just go do it, because at some point the 657 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,320 Speaker 1: middle linebackers going oh, not against me, You aren't you know, 658 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 1: you can do something else, But I'm watching this to 659 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,479 Speaker 1: take them two techniques over your guards. They're just gonna 660 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 1: sit there. Yeah, they're just gonna hold ground. And then 661 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,320 Speaker 1: when he take off the ferry job. Yeah, it's like, 662 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 1: don't worry about rushing them, just make sure he doesn't 663 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 1: run right up the gut. Yeah. So here's another static 664 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: attention to detail, random thing to throw aut you on 665 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 1: the road scoring touchdowns in the red zone, we're at 666 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: fifty seven percent. At home, we're at four percent. Is 667 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,440 Speaker 1: there any kind of conservative play because you're got a 668 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 1: home field advantage there would maybe there's too much noise 669 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 1: from another team. I have no idea. It's just a 670 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: lot of that. A lot of those things are it's like, well, 671 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 1: who you playing against? Yeah, you know, and how good 672 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 1: is that is that defense? Because I think overall in 673 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:33,399 Speaker 1: the red zone they're like forty eight percent. Yeah touchdowns, Yeah, 674 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,239 Speaker 1: and that's not you got to be over fifty. Yeah, 675 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,880 Speaker 1: that's kicking too many field goals, are giving your opportunity 676 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,920 Speaker 1: to missfield goals from a short distance. So yeah, it's 677 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 1: got to be better. We talked a little bit earlier 678 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 1: about Phillies defense, just a little bit about what's changed. 679 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:51,880 Speaker 1: I mean, they seem so much better last year. They 680 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,920 Speaker 1: haven't lost a ton of guy they still they've had 681 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,840 Speaker 1: so many injuries in the secondary, right, Yeah, I mean, 682 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 1: and it started in the Cowboy game. They started, they 683 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,959 Speaker 1: were down guys and then they lost guys in the game. 684 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,879 Speaker 1: And I don't think they've gotten everybody back yet. So yeah, 685 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,319 Speaker 1: their past defense, I think it is ranked like twenty six. 686 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 1: There's something that they're pretty low down. They're just just 687 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,359 Speaker 1: havn't Journegan didn't play the first game on that defensive line. 688 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,200 Speaker 1: I know he's kind of rotational guy. Does he make 689 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: any kind of difference at all? Or yeah, I mean 690 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 1: it helps out. I think their key thing is if 691 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 1: they're not getting pressure on the quarterback, the back end 692 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 1: is gonna hurt them right right, So if you can 693 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 1: protect your quarterback, so is the whole key to this 694 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 1: game stopping Fletcher Cox. And it's a good word, it's 695 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,800 Speaker 1: a good place to start. You know, Brandon Graham found 696 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 1: his legs last week, you know, and it's always Chris Long. 697 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 1: You know, It's just I don't think I'm just being honest. 698 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 1: I really, in a game of this magnitude, it don't 699 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 1: matter they they have. They have been in this spot 700 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,239 Speaker 1: war not not the losing part, but you know, they've 701 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 1: been in this spot before where they knew they had 702 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 1: to play well. And the thing about they got the 703 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 1: talent and see I'm waiting on I'm waiting on Michael Bennett. 704 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,240 Speaker 1: We don't need to let him show up. Michael Bennetts 705 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,320 Speaker 1: just been an old K guy all year long, just 706 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 1: an old K guy. We don't need for Michael Bennett 707 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 1: to show up like he did for Seattle Can. A 708 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 1: team that was has maybe been on a I mean, 709 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,800 Speaker 1: you talked about coming back the next year after a 710 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: super Bowl and that's when it really gets tough. Can 711 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 1: they figure it out midway through and find their legs 712 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 1: or is it just Yeah? Because the reason I believe 713 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,840 Speaker 1: it make the reason I believe that the Eagles can 714 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,840 Speaker 1: find these legs because this ain't all about Carson Wentz. 715 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,920 Speaker 1: That's why I believe they got a chance. Because it's 716 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,800 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. I think it's it's a nice quarterback, always 717 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 1: have even this rookie year. I blamed him the receivers 718 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,320 Speaker 1: he was he was hitting too many people in their hands. 719 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 1: You know, if you got a quarterback of this magnet two, 720 00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,520 Speaker 1: you always got a chance. And now they quite uh 721 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:05,759 Speaker 1: the cowboy killer, you know, Tate, Yeah, I finally had 722 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,800 Speaker 1: a good game. Yeah, this is how we used the 723 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 1: Cowboy killer right before our game. He gets gets almost 724 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,400 Speaker 1: a hundred yards in the touchdown. I mean, think about it. 725 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,359 Speaker 1: You go back twenty five years when you guys tried 726 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 1: to repeat. You know, you were just seven and four 727 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,359 Speaker 1: eleven games, That's what I'm saying. But there were two 728 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:30,840 Speaker 1: games without Emmett. Yeah, the pressure was on and Jimmy 729 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,319 Speaker 1: basically told him if we don't run the table, we're 730 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 1: not getting home field advantage. It's like Jimmy had to 731 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,360 Speaker 1: tell Jerry, you better sign Emmett after that. Oh and 732 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,919 Speaker 1: two stars Charles Hayley does Oh it was Charles. Yeah, 733 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah, Jimmy's been talking to him all day. 734 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,040 Speaker 1: It wouldn't have been seven and four with him at 735 00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,520 Speaker 1: in the lineup. Well you don't know that, I think 736 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:56,439 Speaker 1: I do, Expert Douglas, Where did Derek did Derek last? 737 00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:00,400 Speaker 1: You do not start Micky up? Okay, do not start Mickey. 738 00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:05,920 Speaker 1: I know, I'm I'm poking and proud and anything in 739 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,120 Speaker 1: the league. So what they had Troy and Michael and 740 00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:16,920 Speaker 1: in all these villagers, Yeah right, they were eat it 741 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,239 Speaker 1: all man, they were They just wasn't ready to play. 742 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 1: This wasn't this wasn't the age of parrot or the 743 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,839 Speaker 1: era of parody you had? I mean the first game 744 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 1: of that season was Buffalo right home game, and I think, 745 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 1: I mean, these were teams that if you were going 746 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,320 Speaker 1: to win. The forty nine Ers were stacked, the Cowboys 747 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 1: were obviously stacked. You couldn't just drop one of your 748 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,960 Speaker 1: future Hall of famers out of lineup and expect it. 749 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,920 Speaker 1: Why not? What you were doing? Why not? Because that's 750 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 1: just the way the league was. Then what did you 751 00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 1: lose that game? Thirteen ten? The Buffalo was just enough 752 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,080 Speaker 1: and he got beat by Washington And the opener was 753 00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 1: that right? I think that's right? We saw huh Yeah, 754 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,719 Speaker 1: remember no oh and two team has ever gone to 755 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,799 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl except Jimmy Johnson coach team and then 756 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 1: Jimmy Warrior ass out right, and that's why he ended 757 00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:13,960 Speaker 1: up I think retiring lost at Washington, lost the Buffalo 758 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:19,759 Speaker 1: thirteen ten. Pretty good an old guy. Yeah, I'm tell 759 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 1: you something, man. I just I like the Eagles, man. 760 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 1: I like I like how they play. I like that 761 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 1: they know who they are even when they lose. They 762 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,640 Speaker 1: they know that it's all about Carson Wentz and they 763 00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,200 Speaker 1: do everything and their power to make sure that the 764 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,800 Speaker 1: offensive line be as healthy as they can be, and 765 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:46,440 Speaker 1: they make things where they protect him. I mean they 766 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:50,240 Speaker 1: actually they go out of their way, man, so because 767 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:56,759 Speaker 1: they like, we don't care and they're head coach like 768 00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 1: it took them two or three weeks to figure out 769 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:02,520 Speaker 1: how they actually needed to use golden take and it 770 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:08,880 Speaker 1: came to light. So uh, I think Coach Garrett is 771 00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,320 Speaker 1: trying to do the same thing here. But I and 772 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,400 Speaker 1: I've always said, this is the only time you hear 773 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:17,080 Speaker 1: me kind of you know, get put myself on the 774 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:21,680 Speaker 1: firing line. Is management gotta let him make his moves. 775 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,560 Speaker 1: And I don't think every move is made by Jason. 776 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,000 Speaker 1: I think it is a lot of moves are made 777 00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,719 Speaker 1: by committee. And I could be wrong, but some things, 778 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,640 Speaker 1: I just it don't seem to be Jason, you know 779 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Some things that maneuver the moving parts 780 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 1: don't seem to be the Jason. You know. U. Let's see, 781 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:41,920 Speaker 1: let's see, like I said, let's see, let's he's putting 782 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,920 Speaker 1: one over on me. You know, let's go back to 783 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:46,960 Speaker 1: the phones. We got Adam in Atlanta. How are you 784 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,640 Speaker 1: doing today? Adam? Hey, guys, how are you doing when 785 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:54,800 Speaker 1: you were in Atlanta? Oh well great, hold on, hold on, 786 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:58,920 Speaker 1: hold on man, yo, man, what's your name? Don't I 787 00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,600 Speaker 1: don't want to tell you something. Mickey, you didn't speak 788 00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 1: to Kurt and you did speak to me. You spoke. 789 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's cool. Mickey's on an award 790 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 1: winning show for once, what you call it a time. 791 00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,520 Speaker 1: It's like he found the soft spot at the back. 792 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:24,120 Speaker 1: And then I was gonna get old Adam, and Adam 793 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:28,719 Speaker 1: softened me up that quick. Yeah, what's up? Adams know 794 00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,719 Speaker 1: that much? Man? Hey, guys, after that Titan's loss, you know, 795 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:33,920 Speaker 1: we were always questioning this team, and I think over 796 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,520 Speaker 1: the last month they've answered those questions. I think Sundays 797 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,879 Speaker 1: the time to start making some statements. My question though, 798 00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 1: that hurts me and he scares me, so met what 799 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,239 Speaker 1: can what can we do defensively? Because you know, they 800 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,879 Speaker 1: find a way obviously reminds me of witness. They lead 801 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:51,680 Speaker 1: him a lot in the backfield. He just see it's 802 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 1: just always there at the sticks. Let me tell you 803 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:58,000 Speaker 1: a point of attack. I figured this out. Watch the film, 804 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:02,560 Speaker 1: go back on y'all twenty two. What they do is 805 00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:06,480 Speaker 1: they read that linebacker. That's to his side, especially as 806 00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:10,000 Speaker 1: if he's off the ball, if that linebacker take two 807 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:14,759 Speaker 1: or three steps up at all to come at the run, 808 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 1: he just snatches out and throws it and earth. And 809 00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,839 Speaker 1: this is one thing they messed up. They let us 810 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:26,239 Speaker 1: hive audio during the game. He would call him, he 811 00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,200 Speaker 1: would call him, you know, he would call his quarter 812 00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:31,160 Speaker 1: that win wins, wins, and you know, to let him 813 00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,960 Speaker 1: know to snatch it out because they own the same office. Oh, 814 00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:37,080 Speaker 1: it's that obvious. What we have to do is and 815 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,120 Speaker 1: this is kind of hard to do because they got 816 00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:43,000 Speaker 1: to get office. Line is our front four has to 817 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:46,000 Speaker 1: handle that. They have to be able to if they're 818 00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,920 Speaker 1: confident that they can stop that run, if they confident 819 00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,560 Speaker 1: they can stop that run, because there's three options, and 820 00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:54,880 Speaker 1: this is the third option that he doesn't do anymore. 821 00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,000 Speaker 1: Remember Winz used to pull it out and run a 822 00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 1: little bit because it was give it to the tucking 823 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,680 Speaker 1: into the back, looking looking at the at the tight 824 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,360 Speaker 1: end and if if that linebacker come up two or 825 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,560 Speaker 1: three feet, he was gonna snatch it out where if 826 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,200 Speaker 1: you haven't blocked all the way, then all of a 827 00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,960 Speaker 1: sudden he'll pull it out. If that linebacker stage back. 828 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:19,600 Speaker 1: He'll pull it out some time and take off. Well, 829 00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,160 Speaker 1: now they don't. He don't take off as much. And 830 00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,320 Speaker 1: I'm not saying he can't do that against us, but 831 00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,480 Speaker 1: our defensive line has to be able to handle that. 832 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,920 Speaker 1: That way, our linebacker can stand there and make them 833 00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:34,080 Speaker 1: make a decision. But that's hard when you teach linebackers 834 00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,920 Speaker 1: to what take two steps forward? Thanks for car ad him. 835 00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,960 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Man. I was looking at that and 836 00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,399 Speaker 1: when they when I was looking at the game, he said, 837 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:47,160 Speaker 1: winz winz winz. And really they didn't. The announcers did 838 00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,520 Speaker 1: not elaborate on I say, man, and they best to 839 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,880 Speaker 1: friends tell Ben Bloom, man, man, they should know that. 840 00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,520 Speaker 1: You know. The thing about it is they know it. 841 00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:02,120 Speaker 1: But some things, man work to perfection. But now can 842 00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,320 Speaker 1: you take it all the way down the field and 843 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:07,360 Speaker 1: not miss? And they weren't able to do that in 844 00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,600 Speaker 1: the last game. This this kind of touches into something. 845 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:13,000 Speaker 1: My question I want to ask you now, um, how 846 00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:14,560 Speaker 1: big of a deal is it that you're facing this 847 00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,640 Speaker 1: You're now seeing a team a second time. I mean, man, 848 00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,520 Speaker 1: you pretty much known each other already. Is an advantage 849 00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:24,759 Speaker 1: for the offense defense? I mean doesn't matter. Dog fight. 850 00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:30,680 Speaker 1: You know each other, you know, it's who is what 851 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,080 Speaker 1: I think when you play the second time, especially with 852 00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,719 Speaker 1: everything that's on the table, it's just who's gonna play 853 00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,680 Speaker 1: attention to detail and who's gonna play the smartest. That's 854 00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:43,080 Speaker 1: what I believe in because they ain't gonna change much. 855 00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:44,879 Speaker 1: I mean, they have a rinker here and a Rinka, 856 00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:46,960 Speaker 1: then we'll have a rinker here Rinka that. Whether it's 857 00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,920 Speaker 1: noticed by the public or not, we won't know. But 858 00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:57,719 Speaker 1: fetch you. Cox loves to bully you, over arm, swim you. 859 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,120 Speaker 1: H like he gonna bully and try to turn in 860 00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,799 Speaker 1: the speed corner. He'd been doing this for three years. Now, 861 00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:10,440 Speaker 1: what is he going to do different? I thought? Jason 862 00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,439 Speaker 1: answered that he actually answered that question. I can't remember 863 00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:15,400 Speaker 1: if it was during the press conference or the walkoff, 864 00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:18,759 Speaker 1: and he's basically, I think what he was trying to 865 00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:23,520 Speaker 1: say from a skill standpoint, Yeah, you know each other. Yeah, 866 00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:25,680 Speaker 1: I know what Nate can do. He knows what I 867 00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:30,719 Speaker 1: can do. But it's five games ago or four games ago, 868 00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:34,959 Speaker 1: and teams change and they're not gonna have the same 869 00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:37,800 Speaker 1: game plan and they're not going to have maybe the 870 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,920 Speaker 1: same tendency, so that part of it change. You may 871 00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:44,719 Speaker 1: know the talent level, the skill, but you don't know 872 00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,759 Speaker 1: really what they're going to do, because everybody changes from 873 00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,160 Speaker 1: game to game to game. So I don't know that 874 00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:55,040 Speaker 1: playing him a second time makes a big difference. I mean, 875 00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:58,319 Speaker 1: Nate can tell you you had to sometimes end up 876 00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,880 Speaker 1: playing three times, right Holdelphia in the Playfay. This is 877 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:06,880 Speaker 1: where it gets you. Most coaches go a four game block. 878 00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,920 Speaker 1: They don't want to go past four games because they 879 00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:13,400 Speaker 1: figured if you changing, it's only about two teams in 880 00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,239 Speaker 1: the league or three teams in the league can do 881 00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,960 Speaker 1: what New England do. New England would change like a 882 00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:24,680 Speaker 1: million or most teams can't do that. Even Kansas City, 883 00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:26,279 Speaker 1: they don't do a whole lot of different change. You 884 00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:27,919 Speaker 1: go back and look at the rams, they ain't changing 885 00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:30,879 Speaker 1: a whole lot. But what coaches are doing is stay 886 00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,560 Speaker 1: within that four game block. But at the same time, 887 00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,440 Speaker 1: coaches are looking at themselves, what have we done? So 888 00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:41,520 Speaker 1: that's why I say they'll run seventy percent of that 889 00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:44,520 Speaker 1: offense the same and then thirty percent of They may 890 00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,560 Speaker 1: give you with formations or they may give you some wrinkles, 891 00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:51,680 Speaker 1: you know, but I know who Fletcher Cox is and 892 00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:55,040 Speaker 1: ain't much he can do on third and five. You 893 00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:58,480 Speaker 1: can do a game? Are you coming at yea? Because 894 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,400 Speaker 1: situation of football brings you the back of what you know. 895 00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,960 Speaker 1: Because what's Mickey, what is? What scared us coaches more 896 00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:10,200 Speaker 1: than anything is to try something new and not with 897 00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:14,239 Speaker 1: it right. Yeah. So a lot of coaches try something new, 898 00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,120 Speaker 1: but as soon as they see it going haywire, we'll 899 00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:20,640 Speaker 1: get rid of Paul Alexander and bring in another. But 900 00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:23,799 Speaker 1: when you are facing that team that second time, then 901 00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,600 Speaker 1: is it more on the coaches to shift up the 902 00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:30,360 Speaker 1: scheme a little bit or the players have to I 903 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,320 Speaker 1: just have to execute better because they know me and 904 00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:35,520 Speaker 1: any of them. They have advanced scout that you know, 905 00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:37,560 Speaker 1: you've been up in the press box where you see 906 00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,759 Speaker 1: the other team. Guys up there, Mick, you see it 907 00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:42,520 Speaker 1: all the time where you see the other team. They 908 00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,760 Speaker 1: have advanced scout and said, wow, you know the Cowboys 909 00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,960 Speaker 1: are doing something a little bit different. You know, uh 910 00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,160 Speaker 1: this game here, they did this, they did that, and 911 00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:53,839 Speaker 1: Van this is totally different than last time. So now 912 00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,720 Speaker 1: the coaches work on that, but they ain't gonna spend 913 00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:02,239 Speaker 1: a whole lot of times and hey, man, dat n 914 00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,160 Speaker 1: did this is different? This is different different. They can't 915 00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,359 Speaker 1: work on all of it the practice. Ain't that loan 916 00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,799 Speaker 1: to league? Doing a lot of a normal at two 917 00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:12,240 Speaker 1: hours and fifty minute practice. Yeah, Sometimes I think teams 918 00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,520 Speaker 1: just run a play, yeah, set it up for the 919 00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 1: next week, and it's like, oh, we saw what they 920 00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:19,120 Speaker 1: did on that trick plate. Now I got to spend 921 00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:22,440 Speaker 1: five minutes. Yeah, and you waste five minutes because they 922 00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:25,399 Speaker 1: ain't gonna run it again. It's just the show, right, 923 00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,480 Speaker 1: And then it cost you to if you run a 924 00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:34,280 Speaker 1: sweep option, end around pass or whatever, it's like, okay, 925 00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:38,080 Speaker 1: we gotta practice that now. See, because this is what 926 00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,160 Speaker 1: I had problems during the year, trying to during the 927 00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:46,080 Speaker 1: summer time, always trying to absorb these big as big 928 00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:50,839 Speaker 1: play almost cussed these big playbooks. But as soon as 929 00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,880 Speaker 1: the season start, we had like twenty five run plays 930 00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:57,600 Speaker 1: at the most, and that's over over stating it. We'll 931 00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,439 Speaker 1: have maybe ten run plays and now the past plays 932 00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:03,480 Speaker 1: that will be different. But that was for the wide receivers. 933 00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,040 Speaker 1: We just only had to worry about protections. So we 934 00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:08,640 Speaker 1: have four or five protections and now I'm sitting happy 935 00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,799 Speaker 1: because I'm like, Wow, I'm glad we're over trading cap. 936 00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:13,960 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, because all these new plays, 937 00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:17,680 Speaker 1: this is who we are. Well, the Cowboys have a 938 00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:20,799 Speaker 1: bigger playbook now, and their weekly playbook gets bigger than 939 00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,279 Speaker 1: what hours was. So these guys got to know all 940 00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:28,520 Speaker 1: of this. But still you have staple plays. Especially when 941 00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:30,400 Speaker 1: we were winning them first eight weeks when we were 942 00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:33,239 Speaker 1: looking real bad, they had like maybe twenty play Like, 943 00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,759 Speaker 1: let's get good at these twenty plays. So now when 944 00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,480 Speaker 1: the teams say, oh, we knew what it was gonna run, yeah, 945 00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,160 Speaker 1: because we was a bad team, Well we're running them 946 00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:44,960 Speaker 1: same plays with a little bit more formations. Now we 947 00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:49,879 Speaker 1: get Now what makes us god, i mean, nobody was open. Well, 948 00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:53,520 Speaker 1: what makes our guys open now is Cooper can play 949 00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:57,719 Speaker 1: the slot on both sides. Cooper can play both outside. 950 00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:01,959 Speaker 1: He goes in motion. So that that's why Tonio Brown 951 00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:05,799 Speaker 1: running wide open. That's why uh uh, the kid from 952 00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:09,960 Speaker 1: Atlanta running because you can't cover every position they're gonna play. Well, 953 00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:11,560 Speaker 1: that's why we was it was easy for us to 954 00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:15,080 Speaker 1: cover days that in his career, right, nice, And that 955 00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:17,520 Speaker 1: was on him, Yeah, that was not on the coaching 956 00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,640 Speaker 1: staff him. You know, it was on the coaching staff 957 00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:24,280 Speaker 1: because they should at least made him have an option, 958 00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:30,600 Speaker 1: but he didn't want an option. So, well, boys, we've 959 00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:34,520 Speaker 1: reached one thirty. I can't you should get remote Mickey's 960 00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,040 Speaker 1: show tonight.
