Speaker 1: and today we got a lot to talk about. We'll

11
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: start with the Atlanta offense today. We'll get into that

12
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: and tell you a little bit about what you can

13
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: expect as far as the matchups there. But first, what

14
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: I wanted to do is give everybody a good rundown

15
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 1: of what the storylines will look like for this week.

16
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: There are a few that are worth keeping an eye on.

17
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: How's everybody doing this morning? Great, Derek, wonderful, awesome cold?

18
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: You got on a coat? So yeah, all right, I'll

19
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: be okay. I want to be in bed, all right.

20
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: That just took me by surprise, Like I wasn't expecting

21
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: you to say it, wouldn't you want to be in

22
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: bed in your covers like all nice and coach. Actually, yes,

23
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: that'd be great, exactly awesome. No, I want to grind

24
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: and I only want to talk about Cowboys football, getting

25
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,639
Speaker 1: this win against the Falcons, previewing this Atlanta offense, talking

26
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: to Dak Prescott and maybe Zeke today and just really

27
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: kicking ass. That's what I want to do. That's boy,

28
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. Energy from Dave, That's what

29
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: I'm talking about, just saying, sure, all right, let's jump

30
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: right into this thing. Here the storylines for this, Dave agree,

31
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. We're gonna pretend he does. He's spilling

32
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: coffee everywhere. As long as long as he's got energy,

33
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: let's let's play that up and let's just give him

34
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: a good pat on the back and say thanks, David,

35
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: thanks for bringing that energy. All right, Let's talk about

36
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott. What's going on with him this week? Think

37
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: it's later this week, there's going to be another hearing.

38
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: Give me the update on where we are and what's

39
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: going to happen this week and when that should happened,

40
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: and when the Cowboys will know more and just the

41
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: whole nine, what's happening everything. I thought it was really

42
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: great because Jerry Jones was asked that question a little

43
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier this morning, and he knows as

44
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: much as I know, which is like, not as much

45
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 1: as you'd prefer, you'd want him to know a little

46
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: bit more. Yeah, well, it's I mean, it's all in

47
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: the hands of a federal court, and like we've said

48
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: a few times on this show, they do whatever they

49
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: want on whatever timeline they want. So he's going to

50
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: have his appeal hearing on Thursday with the Second Circuit

51
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: Court of Appeals. It's a three judge panel, I believe.

52
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 1: I heard it was two Democrats and a Republican. That's

53
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: a good thing, right, I think so. But I'm not

54
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: going to pretend to like, oh, yeah, well, you see

55
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: what they need here is this guy voted here, and like,

56
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's got to go three nothing, right,

57
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: I believe, so does it? Yeah? I believe so appeals

58
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: it has to be unlike a regular district court. I

59
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: guess I don't know, but I think it does have

60
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: to be. It it's got to go well for Zeke Daniel, Yeah,

61
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: Daniel Wallack, where are you, Um, that's gonna be on Tuesday.

62
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: There's gonna be oral argument Thursday. Sorry, yes, yes, two

63
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: pm Thursday, Tuesday already happened. Yeah, it's gonna be Thursday.

64
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: There's gonna be oral arguments. I think Daniel Wallack actually

65
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: said that, you know, they a lot for thirty minutes

66
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: on each side for oral arguments, but he expects in

67
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: a situation like this that it'll last longer than that

68
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: and then they just make their decision. And apparently right

69
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: there at the moment, no, they well they can they

70
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: can make it Thursday night, they can make it Friday.

71
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: They could wait until next week, in which case Zeke

72
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: would be eligible to play against Atlanta. Could they wait

73
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: like feasibly? Could they actually do this at like one

74
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: thirty on Sunday afternoon? I don't think so, because again

75
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: courts closed it talking about the government, and government doesn't

76
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: work on weekends, like no exceptions, like president doesn't work

77
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: on the weekend. Depending don't get me stand all right,

78
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: talk about something else? Yeah, Um, so yeah I would

79
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: if it's not by Friday, a like close of business,

80
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: I would expect that he can play. And it took

81
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: ten days for this thing to go through the federal

82
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: the Circuit court in New Orleans. Having said that, it

83
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: just seems like they've been really good about doing everything

84
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: on a speedy time. It's like, how long in New

85
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: yorlds you said thirty I don't, I didn't. I didn't

86
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: hear what you said. You said, Okay, ten days. So

87
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: if that were to happen, presumably he could play two

88
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: games before you even have a decision if it took

89
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: that same timeline, right, theoretically, But I really just kind

90
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: of have a hunch that they're going to have it

91
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: figured out by Friday. I just everything ever since, ever

92
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: since Zeke had that overturned, so going back to the

93
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: bye week, ever since that was overturned and he filed

94
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: for the TRRO and that was, you know, blah blah blah.

95
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: Everything that's happened since then has been fast, like by

96
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: court stand right, Yeah, So I think that's going to

97
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: keep up, and so we will We'll see what happens,

98
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: but I'm thinking maybe Friday. But as of right now,

99
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: because there is not a ruling, the temporary restraining order

100
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: is still in place, which means he practices at least

101
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: until a decision is made right, Bay say, I'm sorry,

102
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: temporary restraining order was two weeks ago. Got it, get

103
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: it out of the same terminology, But I don't think

104
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,799
Speaker 1: that wrong. Okay. Either way, he's still practicing as of today,

105
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: which does create I think an interesting conversation, at least

106
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: for us, of how the Cowboys should handle this week.

107
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: It's I'll ask you guys that question, knowing the situation

108
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: that they're in, that there could be a situation they

109
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: could find out his latest Friday, and even though courts

110
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: don't work on the weekends, I guess it could come

111
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: out this weekend. All that being said, if you're the

112
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: Cowboys coaches, do you maybe just practice as usual assuming

113
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: that Zeke's going to be your starter, or do you

114
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: maybe say, Okay, Zeke, we're not going to practice you

115
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: this week. What we're gonna do is let you sit

116
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: in on meetings. You'll understand the game plan, you'll know

117
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: what what you would be doing. We know that you

118
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: know how to do it out on the field, but

119
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 1: we'd rather give the reps to the other guys to

120
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: get them prepared so that you basically are prepared for

121
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: either way, whether Zeke plays or does not. What do

122
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: you guys think is the best way to go somewhere

123
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: in between? Maybe I may split the reps a little bit,

124
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: give Zeke some some time, give some to Alfred Morris

125
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: if he's going to be your starter, and then the

126
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: other guys he's just you know, they're gonna get scout

127
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: team reps. I guess. So that's why I would do it.

128
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: I would not just sit Zeke this week. I would

129
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: I would just split it. Garrett had a really good

130
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: read between the lines type of answer about that back

131
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: on Monday during his wrap up press conference, which, if

132
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: you think about it, I mean, you watch training camp.

133
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: That's not how these guys practice anyway, you know, like

134
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: you do, you do a period of you know, all right,

135
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: you do individuals whatever. You go to full team, you

136
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: probably run ten reps. The starter will get six of

137
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: those seven and then you know, and so then the

138
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: backup gets two, and the third guy maybe gets one

139
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: or zero or whatever. Like they always divvy it up.

140
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: It's not like the starter gets everything always. And so

141
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: I would imagine you just adjust your game plan. Would

142
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: you flip that though? Would you would you maybe give

143
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: Morris six and give Zeke three? Like I would probably

144
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: give Zeke the lion's share of the work, but less

145
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: than he's used to. So if he usually gets eight

146
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: out of ten, I would give him five this week,

147
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: or you know, something like that, and I think they will,

148
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: like Garrett basically said, you know, we'll bury it up

149
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: and make sure that our you know, number two and

150
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: number three you get more than they're probably used to

151
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: getting in a situation like that. What's your opinion on

152
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: the Namber I trust whatever they're doing. I mean, this

153
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: is again something that it's not catching them by surprise necessarily.

154
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: They've been dealing with this uncertainty, uncertainty for weeks, with

155
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: the exception of last week that Zeke was unable to

156
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: be here in practice, that's the only exception. But aside

157
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: from that, I'm sure whatever they're doing in the way

158
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: that they're preparing, they're making sure they covered in all areas,

159
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: you know, with all their backups and including seek in

160
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: case he's able to play. All right, let's move on.

161
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about injuries. They got some

162
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: significant injuries that you'll have to keep an eye on

163
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: this week. Tyren Smith, Dez Bryant, Terrence Williams, Cheetobayo Woozy.

164
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to throw him in that category just because

165
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: we're still waiting for his return and it sounds like

166
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: that maybe he might be able to resume practice this week.

167
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: Tell me about those four injuries and kind of what

168
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 1: you're expecting this week as we go throughout the week. Well,

169
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: Jerry tried to shed some light on those things this

170
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: morning and didn't really and come away from that really

171
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: feeling one way or the other about it. He said

172
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: he's not sure about he doesn't know that they'll have

173
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: desert terrence. But he doesn't know that they won't have

174
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: desert terrence, which great, thanks Les. Again, don't know, yeah,

175
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: he did. He kind of alluded that, you know, he's

176
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: hopeful that you can count on him from what I gather,

177
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: and you never know. But it sounds like DEAs and

178
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: Terrence maybe that it's like a pain tolerance thing. Daz

179
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 1: has an ankle on a knee, Terrence has an ankle.

180
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: It up. I mean, Terrence played through this in week

181
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: two after hurting it pretty bad in week one, and

182
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: he was like adamant about it too. He's like, if

183
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 1: all it is is pain tolerance, I'll play so I

184
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: sort of feel like at least one of those two

185
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: guys will be out there, if not both. Tyrone's the

186
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: one that really kind of freaks me out. He's got

187
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: a groin injury, and I mean, I don't even know

188
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: where to begin with that, Like, it doesn't sound like

189
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: something you can play with six days later. But if

190
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: there's one type of iron man freak who can do it,

191
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: it's probably him. I'm gonna go ahead and guess you

192
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: won't see him today or tomorrow at practice, and then

193
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: just be a matter of how he feels on Friday.

194
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: If I had to guess, it should have based fine.

195
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: He was playing basketball in the locker room. He's good

196
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: turn around jupper looking good defense. That he was playing

197
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: some defense. I mean, he didn't get hurt through that.

198
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: I think he's I think he's gonna practice. I would hope,

199
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: So I would hope that what we saw yesterday leads

200
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: us to think that he's going to practice, because if not,

201
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: then yeah, he was active out there. Yeah, like hamper

202
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: Ball is back in the Cowboys locker I love it. Yeah,

203
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: it was. It was a staple last year, right. It

204
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: really it helps the time go by in the locker room,

205
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: and but typically hamper ball. Like you, you stand still

206
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: and shoot shots. It's like horse like but Cheeto and

207
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis are like backing each other down and just look,

208
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: he's just don't know how to play the game, play

209
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 1: the game the way it was meant to be played.

210
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: Young for messing it up. Amber balls, he said, hamper ball,

211
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: or like staff ball, hamper ball. I kept having to

212
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: look back every time. As I'm listening to Tackles Week,

213
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: I'm having to look back every second to make sure

214
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: they don't they shoot this. They shoot this oversized tennis

215
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 1: ball into a hamper where also sweaty towels and stuff

216
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: are getting thrown into and jockstraps and all that, and

217
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: then they make they make it. Then they go and

218
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: tell me grab it and get it, and then shoot

219
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: it again, and then it vall goes over here, and

220
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: Dave picks it up and thirst over here and all right,

221
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: calm down, matches his eyebrows and it's all over his face. Sorry, done,

222
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: hamper ball is much better than all right, all right,

223
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: let's get back into this. All right, So we got

224
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: injuries lined out, kind of know what to expect here,

225
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: at least what to be looking for with the injuries.

226
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: What to be looking forward, Zeke. Now, let's focus in

227
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: on the team the Cowboys have to play, the Atlanta Falcons.

228
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: This is going to be another tough one, and I

229
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: know that they have not been the team that you

230
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: saw last year that went to the Super Bowl. They

231
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: are four and for right now, and they've had that

232
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: kind of season where it's been really up and down.

233
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: But you cannot ignore the number of playmakers they have,

234
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: specifically on this offense. Dave Giffish a scouting report on

235
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: the offense. Honestly, I the Atlanta Falcons don't make any

236
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: sense to me. That's really yeah. You set it up

237
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: pretty perfectly there. This is the number six team in

238
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: total offense, the number six team in passing offense, thirteenth

239
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: in rushing offense. Not great, but definitely not bad. You

240
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: have the reigning NFL MVP Matt Ryan, who's completing sixty

241
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: five percent and has thrown for two thousand yards halfway

242
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: through the season. You have a Pro Bowl running back

243
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 1: in DeVonta Freeman who's averaging four point five yards per carry.

244
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: He's got five hundred yards at the halfway mark. Tevin

245
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: Coleman doesn't get as many carries as Freeman, but he's

246
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: averaging five yards per carry a weapon. So you have

247
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: two really nice running backs. And then there's Julio Jones

248
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: who has almost seven hundred receiving yards. And another guy

249
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: that you probably know from Fantasy is Austin Hooper who

250
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: he only has twenty five catches for three hundred and

251
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: thirty twenty five catches, but he's averaging thirteen yards per catch,

252
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: so he's a big play threat for a tight end

253
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 1: as well. But the thing is, there's seventeenth in scoring offense.

254
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: They're averaging twenty one points per game. They've lost three

255
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: out of their last four with you know what they have?

256
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: They they beat the Jets, That's what it was. They

257
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 1: beat the Jets, I think that was last week after

258
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: giving up a twenty point lead to the Dolphins, and

259
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: obviously they lost to the Panthers. Um, there's talent all

260
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: over this offense, and they suck, suck for what they have.

261
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: They suck, I think. And so I went and I

262
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: watched this game against the Panthers to try to figure

263
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: it out, and I just this is a team that

264
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: doesn't know what it is or what it wants to do.

265
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: I really believe that. And I think they missed Kyle Shanahan.

266
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: He was their offensive coordinator. He was amazing last year.

267
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: They have Steve Sarkisian now who's famous for a variety

268
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: of reasons. This is like, this is a team that's

269
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: equipped to be like high flying, you know, limousine ride

270
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 1: and wheel and deal and kiss. Yeah, all that Rick

271
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: Flair stuff. But like, but they also want to They

272
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: also think they're like a Kyle Shanahan ground and pound

273
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: twenty one personnel twelve personnel. Like they've got two tight

274
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: ends on the field all the time, Austin Hooper and

275
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: Levine Talolo. I hope I pronounced that right, And and

276
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: they have two really nice running backs. So what are

277
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: you what are you doing here? Do you want to

278
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: ground and pound? Do you want to run that West

279
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: Coast like Spider two? Why banana throw it to your fullback?

280
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: Or do you want to go three wide with Julio

281
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: and Mohammed Sanou and Taylor Gabriel and just moved down

282
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: the field, And like it seems like they're trying to

283
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: do all of it at once and there's no rhyme

284
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: or reason to it. Devanta Freeman was averaging four and

285
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: a half yards per carry against the Panthers. Last week,

286
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: he carried the ball eleven times for like forty something yards.

287
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: They carried the ball eighteen times on the day. And

288
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: this is in a game where they built up a

289
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: ten nothing lead on Carolina and then they just got

290
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: away from it and Matt Ryan wound up throwing thirty

291
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: eight times in a game that they lost by three. Like,

292
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: it's just stuff like that where you're like, what are

293
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: you trying to do here? What's you know? Like you

294
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: to talk about identity all the time, right, the Cowboys

295
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: identity is so crystal clear, Like they're gonna run the ball,

296
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: They're gonna get Dak on the move. Uh, you know

297
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: they're They're not They're not into that high flying stuff

298
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: so much. You just have a pretty good idea of

299
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: what their game plan is going to look like, regardless

300
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: of the opponent. I feel like these guys have no idea. Um.

301
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: They throw it fifty eight percent of the time, obviously

302
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: because they have a great quarterback and for my money,

303
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: probably the best receiver in football, but they get distracted

304
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: by other stuff. I'm It's like it's like somebody told

305
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: them like, oh, you gotta run the ball to win,

306
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: and that helps, but like they're not really committed to it.

307
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: But it sounds like from what you're saying, they at

308
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: least last week they should have stuck with the run.

309
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: If that's averaging four point five, stick with it, keep

310
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: doing it right. That's what I'm saying is it doesn't

311
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't make a ton of sense to me what

312
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: they're doing. Like it's they're caught between two different philosophies,

313
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: and I don't get the impression that they really haven't

314
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: figured out what they want to do. And I actually

315
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: I went I read up on some of it. And

316
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: you know, anytime an offense this talented is struggling, you

317
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: hear rumors and whispers and you know there's talk of

318
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: disorganized game plans and you know, not really establishing an identity.

319
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: And it certainly looks like that when you watch them,

320
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: because I'm just like, well but DeVonta Freeman just did that.

321
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: Where's where'd he go? Why why aren't you doing more

322
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: of that? Where's you know? Blah blah blah. The one

323
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: thing I will say is they are dedicated to getting

324
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: Julio Jones the ball and they should be. I mean

325
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: he had I think he had twelve targets last week.

326
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: Obviously everybody saw the fourth down drop that would have

327
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: put them right back in that game. Um, he's got

328
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: sixty eight targets on the year, forty three catches, only

329
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: one touchdown, which is surprising to me. Um, yeah, this

330
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: just this was that last week. No, I thought. I

331
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: thought going into that game, I thought I saw somebody

332
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: says he was walking to the you know, they showed

333
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: the them getting off the bus. I thought they said

334
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: he had no touchdowns at that point, but maybe they

335
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: said one what game was earlier in the season or something.

336
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: I don't know off the top of them. Okay, Matt

337
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: Ryan also has seven picks to just eleven touchdowns, so

338
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, I mean, the gains are there. He's

339
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: got two thousand yards. I mean they hit big plays.

340
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 1: Julio's Julio's averaging something like fifteen or sixteen yards per reception.

341
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: Like I said, Austin Hooper's averaging thirteen. So this is

342
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: a big play offense. But they just don't know how

343
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: to convert it into points, it seems like. And I

344
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: think that's because they don't really know what they want

345
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: to do. He had seven picks all of last year

346
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: in sixteen games. Seven now half we got seven halfway through.

347
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,239
Speaker 1: And he also had thirty eight touchdowns last year and

348
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: he's I believe he's got eleven, so you know it

349
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: pace for twenty two. Obviously things are different, you know,

350
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: for him. So I'm going to be winning the MVP

351
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: this year. They are fifty one point eight percent in

352
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: the red zone, like they're just And that was actually

353
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: the question I was gonna ask. Usually when you see

354
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: a team that has a ton of yards, which they do.

355
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: They're right now sixth in the league in yards, but

356
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: they're only seventeenth and points typically they're having issues in

357
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: the red zone. And it sounds like that's the issue

358
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: here is they're they're in the red zone and they're

359
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: not being able to convert it to touchdowns. Yeah. I

360
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: and again, you know, I took some notes, like, I mean,

361
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: they've got two pretty nice tight ends they try to do,

362
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: you know, the tight end screens and the movement the

363
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: motions like you see from the Cowboys. I saw. It's

364
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: kind of funny they tried to run a shovel pass

365
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: like Travis Kelsey style. And it just sucked, like they

366
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: didn't it did not work. So again, like it just

367
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,239
Speaker 1: seems like they're trying to do it's a mismash of

368
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: all these different things, and like instead of instead of

369
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 1: being really good at one thing, they're trying to be

370
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: good at kind of good at a few things. And

371
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: I think that's dumb. Basically, all right, let's take our

372
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: first break when we come back quick. Can only just

373
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: throw some news in there that's been out there. M

374
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: Lewis and Neil has been signed to the to the

375
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 1: active roster. He's gonna be on the fifty three. My guy.

376
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: They also replace that on the practice squad with a

377
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: defensive tackle, Joe Vellano. He's been around a little bit.

378
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: He's six two three hundred pounds, so getting a little

379
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: six two three hundred pounds. Um, he'll be on the

380
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: practice squad. He's been around the league a little bit.

381
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: But Lewis Neil on the team, and they'll figure out,

382
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: you know, they'll figure out how how to make it work.

383
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: I would imagine he's probably gonna be active too. I mean,

384
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 1: I don't think you would be inactive. They signed him

385
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: up there, so they only have four defensive well, full

386
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: time defensive uncles on the on the on the active

387
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: ross right now, right right, So I would imagine he

388
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: probably plays in your He might play in some nickel

389
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,239
Speaker 1: situations because he can't get up the field a little bit.

390
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: So we'll see. But they that's the move they made,

391
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 1: and Brian Price is going to I R. So that's

392
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: that's where that's the spot he takes. All right, we're

393
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: gonna take our first break when we come back. Nick

394
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: and Amber are gonna give us. There are things that

395
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 1: stand out about this Atlanta offense and how they match

396
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 1: up against the Cowboys. Will do it when we come

397

443
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys versus the Falcons. The day we're focusing in

444
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: on the Falcons offense versus the Cowboys. Defense. Dave gave

445
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: us a scintillating scouting report. Was pretty great. It was

446
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: really good. It was really good. Um. And so now

447
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: we get to move on to the part of the

448
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: show that's even better where Amber and Nick get to

449
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: give us what are you laughing about? Ambering Nick gets

450
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: to get to give us there one thing that's that's

451
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: that stands out about this Atlanta offense. Seriously, crying stands out.

452
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: The little Jones stands out. That's gonna be I'm gonna

453
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: go first. He when you look at just I mean,

454
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: obviously he's not playing as like up to part like

455
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: you would expect, like fantasy owners of him would expect.

456
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,479
Speaker 1: But you're right, it's not because of a lack of triumph.

457
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: I'll say this though, because of Scandrick, Jordan Lewis, Anthony Brown.

458
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: They we saw last week. These guys can run. I mean,

459
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: you're not really gonna just run by them. But they

460
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: still have some issues with the bigger receivers. And in

461
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: Garcon Uh, he didn't. It was quiet, but he still

462
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: had five catches fifty yards. Travis Kelsey is a wide receiver.

463
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: He had a nice game, seven catches seventy seven yards. UM.

464
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: Look at Obviously Fitzgerald a big receiver and had one

465
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: of the best games of his career. So I still

466
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: feel like that the matchup favors Julio Jones every week

467
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: with anybody he faces, but especially against the Cowboys, They're

468
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 1: gonna try to give him the ball, and they just

469
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: don't have those big bodies that you know that that

470
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: can just shut him down. I don't think he's gonna

471
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: fly by him, but I do think they can move

472
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: the chains with him, So he'd be the guy i'd

473
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: be really concerned about. I mean, I mean, that's a

474
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: no brainer there. Obviously you'd be concerned about Julio, but

475
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: because of the matchup, I think that he can really

476
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: really hurt him. Did he what do he do statistically?

477
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: What do you do statistically? The last time they played

478
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: the Cobs, it seems like I remember him having a

479
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: pretty good day, even roasted them two hundred something like that.

480
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: I thought was close to two hundred yards. I don't

481
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: have it in front of me, but he kicked the

482
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: crap out of it. That was two years ago. Yeah,

483
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: it was the twenty fifteen game, and he did it

484
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: all in the second half, and it was just did

485
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: it from deep over the middle and swing routes and

486
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,719
Speaker 1: screens and just and the reason I bring it up,

487
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: I know that there's different personnel now in the secondary.

488
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: The reason I bring it up, though, is because the

489
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: corners now, even though I think they are skilled corners,

490
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: they're even shorter than Yeah, you had some bigger corners

491
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: back then with Mo and with with a car. But

492
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 1: this guy is a big he's a big receiver and

493
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: he plays vertically, So I agree with you. I think

494
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 1: the big challenge here is can these shorter corners be

495
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: able to match up vertically with him? Twelve for one

496
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: and sixty four and two touchdowns? Yeah, I mean, Julio

497
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: Jones is a super fast guy, but I don't. Yeah,

498
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: it's not like Tyreek Hill where I think he's just

499
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: gonna blame by. It's he's a great route runner too,

500
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: and he can buy himself space with his route running.

501
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: And on top of that, he's like this, he can

502
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 1: box you out, and that's definitely something these guys needed.

503
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: Bigger than this, Taller than this, and no, yeah, but

504
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: all around, but just the vertical. His ability to vertically

505
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: go up, I think is the part of his game

506
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 1: to me that makes him a tough, tough matchup and

507
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 1: he's not like you said, he's not like a burner fast,

508
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: but you're not gonna catch him from behind either, especially

509
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: once he gets up and he gets those long legs rolling.

510
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: Like that's a that's a really tough matchup for guys

511
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: that don't can't match up physically as far as hides concern.

512
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: All right, Amber, what's your what's your one thing? Well?

513
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: I have two things, all right. One that stood out

514
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 1: to me was the word successful out of these ranking

515
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: I want to be success. This is a statup. I'm

516
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 1: not really sure why did me? Or like how they

517
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 1: get the staff from? And I asked Brian and he

518
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: wasn't even sure himself. But again, the Falcons are ranked

519
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: number four on successful plays and the Cowboys defense ranked thirty.

520
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: So not a good matchup there, whatever that means. The

521
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: word successful coming from the opposing team is something I

522
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't one. We don't know, we don't know how many

523
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: yards that is, probably like, yeah, if I had to

524
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: guess ten is I would think that's a successful play

525
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,719
Speaker 1: because a big play is twenty. I would think success

526
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: successful would be more like four because if you get

527
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: four on a play and you do that consistently, you're

528
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of first downs, right, yeah, well

529
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: that's how I look at I mean, I don't know, maybe,

530
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: I mean there's ranked second in first down efficiency. How

531
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: many how many do they have of successful plays? Fifty?

532
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: I don't think that before. Yeah, you're right about that.

533
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: There probably would be ten. And I mean they are

534
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: a big play team, like they get a lot of

535
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,239
Speaker 1: twenty plus in forty plus yards. I want to say

536
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: that they are there. They're ranked eighth in forty plus

537
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: yard passes. They're ranked eighth and twenty plus yard rushes

538
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: and second in forty plus yard rushers, So they got

539
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: a lot of big plays in this off I mean

540
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 1: if the running backs averaging four yards to carry, then

541
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: probably true. Yeah, yeah, that'd be a lot of successful Well,

542
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: we don't want them to be successful. So anyways. Another

543
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 1: thing was the blitz passing situation. I know the Cowboys

544
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: they've been pretty good rushing the quarterback, but I'm interested

545
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: to see what they do how they handle this situation,

546
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: if they do the four men rush and how they

547
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: play with the coverage or if they go with blitzing.

548
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 1: Their quarterback is rated one hundred and six on blitzen situations,

549
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: So that means he's pretty good when the opposing team

550
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 1: it's blitzing and he's able to make plays. The one

551
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: thing is maybe when his pressure he's not as accurate,

552
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: but still rating wise, he's pretty good. Cowboys just I'm

553
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: interested to see how exactly they're going to handle that

554
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 1: and what route they decide to go with in the

555
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: whole quarterback pressure. The good thing about this team is

556
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: that they're not like their defense isn't predicated on blitzing.

557
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: They blitzed at moments in games, but really is predicated

558
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: on the front four being able to get pressure. So

559
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 1: that should work well for the Cowboys because when they blitz,

560
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: it's usually a lot less predictable than when you say,

561
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: play a team like Pittsburgh, that blitz is quite a

562
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: bit more. Yeah, but when the Cowboys have blitz, I

563
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 1: mean they have been successful at different situations, So I

564
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: don't know. We'll see how they play with that, and

565
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: you're right, they play more with the fore man, but

566
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: we'll see. You know, last week against the against the Chiefs,

567
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: David Irving got a sack in the game, but really

568
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: it was the blitz from the outside and Byron. Yeah,

569
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: those those guys. Was that one of your plays that

570
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: you did when you break down your plays? No, no,

571
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: but but yeah, those those two were coming from the

572
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: edge and just forced Alex Smith to step up, stepped

573
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: right up into David Irving and made made the sacks.

574
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: You know that that was one of those plays where

575
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: you could really see that they caught him off guard.

576
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: I don't think he was expected that, especially from either side.

577
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: And when you have a good defensive tackle like David

578
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: Irving has become, you can do that a little bit

579
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: more because you can't just step up in the pocket.

580
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: You step up into a guy that's sixty seven, you're

581
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: right into him. So he's becoming a weapon for this team.

582
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: So when you look at this offense, I know DeVante's

583
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: Freeman's numbers as far as just his overall yards isn't

584
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: up there as high as it was last year, but

585
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: you look at his average, he certainly is doing well.

586
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: Is this the best running back the Cowboys will have

587
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: seen this point? I know Girly's probably the better of

588
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: the two. Well, you just answered jeral question. I understand

589
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: what what I'm getting to though, is is he in

590
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: the same category with a guy like Girly. Is he

591
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: is stepped down last year? I want to say he was.

592
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: He had he was in top three, top four rushing

593
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: back in the league last year. Like, this is a

594
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: serious running back. This is not just some some average guy,

595
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: probably the best running back to dam you're gonna face

596
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: you know two guys. Yeah, I think I think I'll

597
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: pull it back up. I think Freeman killed the Cowboys

598
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: in that game too once they did. Yeah, three touchdownes, yeah, yeah,

599
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: and no one had hurt of him at that point

600
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: because he was a third round picked out. Yeah, he

601
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: was a rookie and making his first start that they had.

602
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: I forgot who had gotten thirty carries for one forty

603
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: one and three touchdown No. Here, He's seriously good and

604
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: he's versatile, you can catch and run. I going back

605
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: to my point kind of is I don't trust the

606
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: Falcons to just lean on him enough to where he's

607
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: really gonna hurt you, because they have not done that. Right.

608
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he can't hurt you. I'm saying, like

609
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: this offense just strikes me as being schizophrenic, and I

610
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna come in here and be like,

611
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: we're getting Davante thirty touches today, Like I just I

612
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: don't believe that they'll do. That kind of kind of

613
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: reminds me a little bit of like the Cowboys when

614
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: I first got here, it was just like you got

615
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: a stud running back and a great quarterback and for

616
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: whatever reason, like you let yourself get away from what

617
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: works a lot of the times, and all of a

618
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: sudden you're like, holy crap, DeMarco only had eight carries

619
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: in this game, What the hell are we doing. That's

620
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: kind of how I feel about the Falcons. Yeah, do

621
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: you think there's ever a little bit and this is

622
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: a completely different subject, but do you think I know

623
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: right now? The Cowboys have been the team ever since

624
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: they opened their new stadium. They're the team that everybody

625
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: comes to town and the opposing team is like, don't

626
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: spend too much time looking around at the bright, shiny

627
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: object which is this stadium. For the first time, the

628
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys players are going to have that kind of situation

629
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: where they're going into a new stadium that has these

630
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: bright new features. Do you expect that's something that, at

631
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: least from the coaches standpoint, that they at least say hey, look,

632
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: don't get focused on the bright, new shiny toy. Focus

633
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: on what you're doing. Do they even go there day before?

634
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just wondering if that becomes because

635
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys have never had to deal with that, But other teams,

636
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure have to deal with that. Cowboys have never

637
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: had to deal with that when they play in the

638
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: shiniest most room that stadium in the league. But they

639
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: also practiced in that stadium for quite a bit a

640
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: few times before they opened the stadium, so they've never

641
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: had to go into a stadium that's right. Was it

642
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: the same thing? Though I haven't been to this place?

643
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: Is it the one thing? I'll say? The one part

644
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: of it that's very different is their video board, which

645
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: that's the same thing here that you see all the

646
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: opposing players always doing this looking up at this video

647
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: board because I think who've seen that. I think it

648
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: helps that. I think it helps opponents more than it

649
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: hurts them, because it's not a when you come to

650
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: AT and T Stadium, it's not you know, the crowd

651
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: isn't just like oh my god, I've never heard I've

652
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: never seen, you know, a quarterback that can't hear and

653
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: and has to make these different signals. I mean, that's

654
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: it's not intimidating from that standpoint. And I've always I've

655
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: always said it's very similar to like Notre Dame. You know,

656
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: you go there, you look around, and you go look

657
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: at the team. The Notre Dame is having a great year.

658
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: But for the most part, when teams go in to

659
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: play them, they play them well because this is like

660
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: the cathedral of football. This is it, this is it.

661
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: And I think teams have going into the AT and

662
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: T Stadium the same way. So I don't think it's

663
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: a great home field of village. And but I don't

664
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: know if if you look at it the same way,

665
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: I don't think the players are going we're going into

666
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: Mercedes Stadium. Just I don't think it matters because it's

667
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: new to us, but it's not new to Jordan Lewis.

668
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: He doesn't know the difference if it's been here six

669
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: years or one year. I mean, you know what I mean.

670
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it's we've know, we've never been here. I've

671
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: been to the Georgia Dome at the fifty yard line,

672
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: been there like four or five times, yeah, but maybe

673
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: ten times. But I don't think it's as new to

674
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: these other players because everything's new. You know, FedEx Field

675
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: was new to half the team. Yeah, not only that,

676
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: Like I think it does matter you play like what

677
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to be like two not trying

678
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: to kiss the cowboys butts too much, but like what

679
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: could be that impressive after you spent that amount of

680
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: time at AT AT and T in terms of just being

681
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: like shock and awe, like oh my god. I do

682
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: think it's different when you go into a stadium that

683
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: has a full three hundred and sixty degree video board.

684
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: I mean that's different. I've never seen anything like that before.

685
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: So I know, for me, I'm gonna walk in and

686
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: be like I want to see this right never you

687
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: play under an eighty yard wide screen every week, Like

688
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's different, but it's not different, you

689
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,919
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like it's a novelty act. It's

690
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: that you're used to it. I really, I just think

691
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 1: it's by the pregame warm ups, you're done with it,

692
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: seen it, you think so, and it doesn't affect like

693
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: how they Because I know a lot of players. You

694
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: hear players saying like I know in certain stadiums It's

695
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: easy because if the video boards in the end zone,

696
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: I can look up if I'm running and see what's

697
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: behind me. Obviously can't do that at and T Stadium,

698
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 1: And I wonder if that's something like those kind of

699
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: tactical things affect players sometimes, where at other stadiums it's

700
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: much easier to be able to do those kinds of

701
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: Zeke's longest run this year's thirty yards, So he's not

702
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 1: really been breaking away looking up like that Admitte issue.

703
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: I don't think Scandrick was trying to look forward at

704
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: FedEx figuring out. I mean, yeah, well the only time

705
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: Isaac Bruce is the one that I that I've seen

706
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: do that way back in the ram. Did he do that?

707
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: He did that the Seattle playoff game. Remember that, yep,

708
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: I do remember it all happened. He thought he was

709
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 1: just smiling because he was seeing himself in the screen

710
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: and laughing. He's just like, look at me, number fourteen

711
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: Miles Austin. Other than Scandrick's field goal return, the Cowboys

712
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: haven't really had a play like that this year, haven't.

713
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: They haven't really breaking away, haven't they haven't housed a

714
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 1: long one. I wonder why. I wonder why they don't

715
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 1: have that speed like to do that, Like why they

716
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: haven't Just where are you going with this implier? I

717
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: just think they should where he always goes with it.

718
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: I think they should draft some speed next year. I've

719
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: been going on this for like twelve years. What are

720
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: you gonna do when they finally do that? Like, are

721
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: you just gonna like have a party or like, what

722
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,280
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? No, the around the buildings, shaking

723
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: everybody's hands, celebrating the ultimate twist of fate is that

724
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna get this guy and it's gonna be one

725
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: of those receivers who just can't catch anything. He's always open. Yeah,

726
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: well there there's gonna be a reason why he's in

727
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: the third round, right or second round? I mean, and

728
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that, especially if he's like a four

729
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: three guy. Yeah, I'm okay with either he's gonna be

730
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: a very small school guy or he's gonna be you know,

731
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: he's just off the field. Doesn't Yeah, it doesn't. He

732
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: doesn't catch really that you know that great? But you

733
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: know he was in the Olympic trials last year. You know,

734
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: he finished eighth up there in Oregon or whatever. All right,

764
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: Silver and Blue shotgun formations and Hail Mary's. Having a

765
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys football party without doctor Pepper is like having Thanksgiving

766
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: without the Cowboys. Basically, we wouldn't recommend it. So next

Speaker 1: Break Amber will grab those. Start first with a phone

787
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 1: call from Tim in New York. Tim, what up, Hi,

788
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: guys him. I know that our defense looked a lot

789
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: better this past game, of course, and I think you know,

790
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: Cowboys fans are pretty excited about that. But I guess

791
00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: I'm still pretty concerned about the rundefense um, and especially

792
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 1: not just with price going out. But I was concerned

793
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: about that before, and I know that in Marinelli's scheme

794
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: they don't put a lot of emphasis on drafting a

795
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: one technique, a true one technique. I mean that the

796
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: emphasis is really on the three tech. But um, my

797
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 1: question is, do you think that it's time that he

798
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: uh puts more value on that. I mean, I would

799
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: think that if we could draft someone that'd cost maybe

800
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: a third or something, but really a guy that can

801
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: that is big, that can just eat up blocks they're

802
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: in the middle, and then you know we can we

803
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: can continue to use our better players at the three.

804
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 1: I mean, it just seems like that maybe it's time

805
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: to reconsider that that strategy. All right, thanks for the call.

806
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: I hear, I hear what he's saying. And you know,

807
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: first of all, I think you want to put on

808
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 1: your defensive line anyway, which you know we've talked about before.

809
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: I think they've done. But I think he sort of

810
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: contradicted himself and or answered his own question there in

811
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: the sense that you just want your one technique to

812
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: eat up blocks and eat up space, free up areas

813
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: for your three tech and your weak side linebacker, and

814
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: open things up for other guys to make plays. Right,

815
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: why would you spend a first round pick on that?

816
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: He didn't say first round. Well, you're you're right, he didn't. Okay,

817
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: but that I guess that's and fine if you want

818
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: to spend a third round pick on it. I'm totally

819
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: on board with that. But I get why Rod doesn't

820
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: put that premium on a guy whose job is to

821
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: open things up for other people. I think you can

822
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: find that obviously they did that with Joey Ivy and

823
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 1: Jordan Carroll. Seventh round is probably too late for anybody

824
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: that you're hoping to make a real impact. Yeah, I mean,

825
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: I would absolutely be on board with drafting a defensive

826
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: tackle in the third or fourth round. The one thing

827
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: to say, though, is you can see the difference in

828
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 1: teams that do have that big guy like you saw

829
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 1: that defense and there were a couple other guys they

830
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: signed last year, but Snacks Harrison made a difference. Excuse

831
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: me in New York, Um and you you can go

832
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,720
Speaker 1: back to what was the guy's name in Green Bay

833
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 1: that was there for so long. He was just a

834
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: Gilbert Gilbert ground. He was just like a big, huge,

835
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: sloppy dude that they sat there in the middle and

836
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 1: you were not gonna move him, so you better run

837
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,760
Speaker 1: around him. Because was also you know, both benefited from

838
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 1: from Wilford for many years and was his first or second.

839
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: He was the first round thing he was. He was

840
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: drafted one spot ahead of where the Cowboys were picking

841
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: that year. But I don't think the interesting, I don't

842
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 1: think so. I don't think they were, and I think

843
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: that they were going to trade that pick in. As

844
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: valuable as it might be in a four to three,

845
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,280
Speaker 1: it's even more valuable in a three four absolutely, So yeah,

846
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: um yeah, And you know I would in a perfect world,

847
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: I would want my league Collins playing three. I get

848
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: why he's playing one right now. Um, but yeah, if

849
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I wouldn't want to spend the first

850
00:41:58,400 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: round pick on it just because I said because then

851
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 1: or the position. I just think it's easier to find

852
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: a guy who can play it well as opposed to

853
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 1: you need to be using first round picks on freakish

854
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: athletes like edge rushers, receivers, you know, guys like that.

855
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 1: But you know, let's not make no mistake that Marinelli

856
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: does not like that type of player so much because

857
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 1: of athletically, he wants them to get up the field.

858
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: He says that a lot, so I know why he

859
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: doesn't like it, but I don't really agree with it.

860
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 1: I agree with the caller. I mean, I think it

861
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: is time to revisit that. I think I would I

862
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 1: would go into the second or third round. You know,

863
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: if you get a really big, strong guy like that,

864
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: there's just like we talked about all the time about

865
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 1: speed receivers, there's gonna be a reason why he's there,

866
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: because if he's that big, that's strong, that dominant, he's

867
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: gonna go in the first round. But there's a reason

868
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: why he's in the second or third, whether he was

869
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: you know, has weight issues, he doesn't have a great

870
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 1: work ethic, he gets hurt a lot, he doesn't know

871
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 1: how to play with that size, I mean, whatever it is. Yeah,

872
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: the one way, the one area where I do disagree

873
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: with the caller is in the fact that, like it's

874
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: always easy to say, well, you should have done this,

875
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: you should who were you not going to draft last year?

876
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: They had I think higher priorities last year that they

877
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 1: went out to get, especially in the secondary. They spent

878
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 1: quite a bit of their other resources in the secondary

879
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 1: last year. And so I think you know where you're

880
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: going to get rid of those first three picks last year,

881
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: which one of those guys. Are you willing to give

882
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,439
Speaker 1: back in order to get a one technique? I think

883
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: that it to me, it's better spent on cornerback. No,

884
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 1: it's better spent on cornerback. It's better spent on a

885
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: pass rusher. Those picks to me where this team is

886
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 1: right now, those picks that were necessary way more than

887
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: one techniue worth round. Where they got where they got

888
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: my leak is like the perfect range where I'm starting

889
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 1: to think about that sixty seven, which you know, I'm biased.

890
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 1: He's an LSU guy. Brian talks about him all the

891
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 1: time though, But Benny Logan was a guy, He's a

892
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: one tech that they could have got. He was a

893
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: third round pick. I don't remember exactly, but those types

894
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:57,720
Speaker 1: of guys are there and they can make it different.

895
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: I mean Benny Logan when he was paired with Fletcher

896
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 1: Cox in Philly, that was gross. Yeah, Kansas City actually yeah,

897
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: which they obviously didn't play that well. They got him,

898
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: they got him. Yeah, Well he's playing like nose in

899
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: a three four. But you can find that type of

900
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: talent and I'm totally on board with that. If that's

901
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: you know, that's something to look at just I'm not

902
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: trying to spend a top first round pick on that position.

903
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,919
Speaker 1: That's just me. All right. Let's take a question from Twitter. Well,

904
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,439
Speaker 1: yesterday we talked about the n NFC, but we didn't

905
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 1: get to answer some questions. So here's one. Do you

906
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: guys see the Cowboys leading the NFC East Division after

907
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: December tenth game due to the Eagles schedule? Both teams

908
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: would have nine four or who the Eagles have coming up?

909
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: That's I mean, it didn't sound like the Eagles were

910
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: really going to be in trouble. I know they don't.

911
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 1: Mean I'm trying to think of who else they have left.

912
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: The Eagles go bye week Dallas. I know they have

913
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: a trip to Seattle in there somewhere. They actually they

914
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: go back to back um West Coast. They're at Seattle

915
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:06,720
Speaker 1: and at the rams Umay that week. That's kind of interesting.

916
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 1: I was thinking about that. I would if all three

917
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 1: games that are losable, sure, yeah, I don't. I don't

918
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: know if Seattle is right after the Cowboys game. I

919
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: don't know what their Thanksgiving week game is. I'm not sure.

920
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, um, but yeah, I mean, you know, I

921
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: get in that argument with Maniaco on our show Cover

922
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: four all the time because he's a ridiculous Eagles homer,

923
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: and you know he he basically is of the opinion

924
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: that the division has been decided and the Cowboys, you know,

925
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 1: need to be thinking about the wild card. And I think,

926
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, that's that's probably the more likely scenario.

927
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: I think the Eagles are talented enough to hang onto

928
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: the lead, but it's certainly not something that's already been decided.

929
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: Especially week is big though it is because they're two

930
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: and a half games behind them. They could be three

931
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,839
Speaker 1: if you lose, and that's that's huge. But if you're

932
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:56,839
Speaker 1: only two games, you win this game and you're just

933
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: a you know, just a solid two games behind Philly

934
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 1: with playing them twice, you know, I think that they're

935
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 1: very catchable in that sense, but you got to win

936
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 1: this game when they're off. I said, we talked about

937
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 1: that and I'm sorry to plug it on Cover four yesterday.

938
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 1: Just you know, what does this Chiefs win means? Statement

939
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,280
Speaker 1: win blah blah blah. I'm like, it doesn't mean anything

940
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: if they don't beat Atlanta, because like this is your

941
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: real opportunity to gain ground on Philly, Like I mean,

942
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 1: you're two games back of them, and you get to

943
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: play them. So if you win this game, then you're

944
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: at least in position to be a game behind Philly

945
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: heading into the really the home stretch of the season.

946
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 1: If you don't beat Atlanta, then you're right back where

947
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,439
Speaker 1: you were where even if you beat them, you're still

948
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: two games out after November nineteenth. So if the Cowboys

949
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: have legitimate aspirations of winning the East, I really think

950
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: they have to beat Atlanta this week. Here there remaining

951
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: here's the eagles remaining schedule. They got at Cowboys, then

952
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: they play at home versus the Bears, then three road

953
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: games in a row, two on the West Coast against

954
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, the Rams, and then at the Giants. Then

955
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: they're back home to play the Raiders, and finish the

956
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: season at home against the Cowboys. Yeah. So four of

957
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: those games are against teams winning records right now, and

958
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 1: two of them that well, aside from the Cowboys the

959
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 1: Rams game, in the Seahawks game, I mean the Seahawks

960
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 1: live and Rams daily are talking about how that's key

961
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,359
Speaker 1: because that's going to help the side the West. So

962
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: I mean they're they're having the same conversation that we

963
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,439
Speaker 1: are for a different division. So I'm sure they're gonna

964
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 1: give the Eagles their best shot and at home. Just

965
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: make up two names there, yes, Uh, what about hanging

966
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 1: with the Seahawks, Hanging with the hanging the Hawks. Yeah,

967
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 1: you gotta go with the allow Hanging with the Hawks.

968
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 1: That's actually a good name. That doesn't make sense. It does.

969
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: Hang with the Hawks. Yes, I mean, you know the

970
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 1: Eagles are. The Eagles are eight and one right now.

971
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 1: Even even if they go so twelve and four, they'd

972
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 1: still what have to go five and three down the

973
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 1: stretch or whatever. I don't think they did the mat there, right,

974
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: but you get my point. I mean they could lose

975
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 1: some games here. They could lose some games here and

976
00:47:57,719 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: still finish with a really great record. I mean, if

977
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: they lose out, they would go eight and eight. Still,

978
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 1: So what do you think right now is realistic? With

979
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: the Cowboys their final record find out after two o'clock tomorrow.

980
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: That's a great point. Just okay, give me with Zeke.

981
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 1: With with Zeke, I think ten and six with Zeke, Yes,

982
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,359
Speaker 1: five and three again, you do five and three one

983
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 1: more time. If Zeke is here for the whole rest

984
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 1: of the season. You could talk me into eleven and

985
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:27,360
Speaker 1: five or twelve and four. To be totally honest, you

986
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 1: could talk me into it. I'm not saying it would happen,

987
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,359
Speaker 1: not there yet, but I'm just good, but a good

988
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: talking about they are rounding into form other than the Eagles,

989
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm not just complete. There's not a game left on

990
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,879
Speaker 1: the schedule, you know. I looked at the Chiefs all season, like, well,

991
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 1: what are they gonna do against the chief Like, I

992
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,839
Speaker 1: don't see that game left. I mean, I'm not saying

993
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna win them all, but there's just not a

994
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: team left on the schedule that I just think they're

995
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: definitively better. But maybe the Eagles, but that's a division game.

996
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: But either way, Like, you also don't see that one

997
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: Where're like, there's no way if the Cowboys do their job,

998
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 1: there's no way they should lose that game. Argers, I

999
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:04,240
Speaker 1: don't really think so, no way. Great quarterback, great pass rush,

1000
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: Like this team doesn't play that great on Thanksgiving? It

1001
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 1: really don't. You don't, they really don't. I Mean, you

1002
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 1: can get a team, a veteran team, especially with a

1003
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: veteran quarterback that comes in a short week. That one

1004
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: scares me. Always thought that was a game that favored

1005
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 1: the Cowboys so much, and maybe not, maybe not. I

1006
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: really don't my experience here. They played mediocre against a

1007
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 1: bad Raider team. In twenty thirteen, they got owned by Philly.

1008
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:33,240
Speaker 1: In twenty fourteen, they got owned by Carolina. In twenty fifteen,

1009
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 1: they played really well, this is our nineteenth, this will

1010
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 1: be our our nineteenth the Thanksgiving Day game. Yeah, okay,

1011
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,399
Speaker 1: at eighteen, I really don't know this. At eighteen games,

1012
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 1: what do you think? What do you think the record is?

1013
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 1: You've been at eighteen all those giving out of out

1014
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: of eighteen games, I would guess they are. I bet

1015
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,839
Speaker 1: it's twelve and six. I would say ten and eight,

1016
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 1: maybe nine and nine, but I'm gonna say ten and

1017
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:01,799
Speaker 1: eighte We'll look it up. We'll look it up. Ten

1018
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: and six, eleven and five is my optimistic but realistic

1019
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,800
Speaker 1: idea for how this thing's going to finish out. Not

1020
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: tell me without Zeke, No, I think either way, that's okay.

1021
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 1: I really did without Zeke. M you're so they're they're

1022
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 1: five and three right now? So I guess you? I mean, yeah,

1023
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:22,879
Speaker 1: without Zeke, maybe you think they go three and five

1024
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,240
Speaker 1: and finish eight and eight. But I don't Yeah, probably

1025
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:27,239
Speaker 1: nine and seven. I'd say that they'll split them, go

1026
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 1: four and four'll go nine and seven. Amber, let's go

1027
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: back to the I don't know, I don't know. Um Again,

1028
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 1: this team is picking up, you know, they're starting to

1029
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 1: become more consistent. But I'm not just and I'm not

1030
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 1: trying to be negative again. I'm just, you know, kind

1031
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 1: of let's see how it goes type of mood. What

1032
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 1: what's where? What world are we in? Where I'm the optimist?

1033
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:57,280
Speaker 1: Like where I'm telling you right now. If the defense

1034
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: keeps getting sacks and turnovers the way they have been

1035
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 1: since the buy, and if the quarterback keeps playing like

1036
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 1: a badass and you keep the running back, I think

1037
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:08,439
Speaker 1: the sky's the limit for him. Well, I'm saying even

1038
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 1: without them, if those three things are happening, if Dak's

1039
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 1: playing like a badass and the defense keeps doing what

1040
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: it's doing, Okay, I'm not saying it doesn't matter that

1041
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 1: Zeke's not there, but I'm saying they should be able

1042
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 1: to win more games than they lose. Yeah, that's basically

1043
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: all right. What happens if Tyron Smith is out that

1044
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 1: I think is an Zeke. Here's here's the So, how

1045
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 1: do you envision this team doing with two players like

1046
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 1: that out? If you're without Tyron Smith. I'm more concerned

1047
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 1: than being without Tyren Smith than I am being without Zeke.

1048
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: And I know that sounds crazy, but it's about It's

1049
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 1: about who's behind him. Not only that, but if Tyron

1050
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 1: has to miss multiple games, I'm not certain that I

1051
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,800
Speaker 1: trust the fact that Chaz Green is gonna stay healthy.

1052
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 1: And then what do you do is now, Byron Bell

1053
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: your left tackle with a right tackle I mean, I'm sorry,

1054
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 1: is your left tackle and a right guard? By the way,

1055
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 1: That still I think relies on the fact that he

1056
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 1: has those guys beside him. I get really worried about that. Yeah,

1057
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:06,879
Speaker 1: and we've seen Chads Green step in for tiring, you know,

1058
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 1: and replace him and he's done okay. But again, handling

1059
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 1: all these games and I don't know how much he

1060
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 1: can play it, I don't know how much he would

1061
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 1: affect this team and how they would be able to

1062
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 1: handle that. So when we've seen how changes like that

1063
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 1: really affect the offensive line, it's a troubling prospect, to

1064
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 1: be sure. But you make do. The fact that you

1065
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 1: have a mobile quarterback probably helps with that. Does I

1066
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 1: mean that can do a lot of stuff on the move,

1067
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 1: move the pocket. It would help if you had Zeke too. Right,

1068
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: so you lose both and now I think that's the

1069
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 1: part you really worry about. And that's to be honest

1070
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,280
Speaker 1: with This's not so much in my opinion about how

1071
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,919
Speaker 1: bad Chaz Green or Byron Bill are. I don't think

1072
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,719
Speaker 1: they're horrible players. I just think, now when you start

1073
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 1: changing now two pieces on the left side of the

1074
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: offensive line, this offensive line is just now starting jail

1075
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,359
Speaker 1: and now you're gonna change that up at the most

1076
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 1: important position on that That's what I'm saying. I don't

1077
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: know how they would react to that. I'm gonna I'm

1078
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: gonna sound like Eatman a little bit right here, But honestly,

1079
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,959
Speaker 1: I have my doubts. I have my doubts Tyrant's gonna

1080
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 1: play in this game, just based on the injury and

1081
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 1: the time turnaround and all that. But I'll believe he's

1082
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 1: gonna miss a substantial chunk of time when I see it,

1083
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: Like he is an iron man, He's like a team

1084
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 1: first dude. He's the ultimate just shut up and let

1085
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 1: me get through a guy even I mean even going

1086
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 1: to his his contract is more team friendly than it

1087
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:32,800
Speaker 1: should be. Just two games matters right now because you

1088
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:34,840
Speaker 1: got at Land in Philly. Of course, because of where

1089
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:37,840
Speaker 1: you're locating your schedule. Of course it matters. But well,

1090
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: I'll believe he's not playing against Philly when I see it.

1091
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 1: I'm we're projecting, right, But I mean that'll be that'll

1092
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:46,400
Speaker 1: be two weeks out from when he heard it. I

1093
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, that's the one more injury added to

1094
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:53,280
Speaker 1: that big body. Of course. Oh, it's it's terrible. It's

1095
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 1: terrible in the long run. I told him that in

1096
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:56,799
Speaker 1: the locker room on Sunday and I was like, dude,

1097
00:53:56,800 --> 00:54:00,080
Speaker 1: you're getting old like these things just like stold By.

1098
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 1: He said, wow, thanks, Like did he grab you and

1099
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:04,359
Speaker 1: kind of pick you up by your neck? Oh he's

1100
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 1: too nice for dude, you're getting old. Yeah. He was like,

1101
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 1: come on now, and I was like, you're ancient by

1102
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 1: NFL standards, like you've been doing this for Oh, come on,

1103
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 1: while the man's down, Like seriously, he wasn't. But that's

1104
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 1: like he's his down is not like it's not like

1105
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 1: he's in a wheelchair, like, oh, but he's hurt. Like

1106
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 1: on top of that, nowadays heaping on him that he's

1107
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:26,319
Speaker 1: old and washed up and ready to retire. All of this.

1108
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 1: I didn't say that. All of this stuff. It's it's

1109
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 1: troubling in the long term, and it's stuff that he

1110
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys are gonna have to figure out when

1111
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 1: the season's over. But I just like he's gonna find

1112
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:37,280
Speaker 1: a way to grin and then get through the season

1113
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: even if he misses this week. Like, I'm not envisioning

1114
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 1: a world where they don't have Tyrn Smith, for he

1115
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 1: is a tough dude, substantial chunk of time. So that

1116
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 1: helps the fact that he's a tough guy and he's

1117
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: played through injuries before. So, um, let's get a phone

1118
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 1: call from Michael and Tennessee. Michael, what up? Hey you guys,

1119
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:56,319
Speaker 1: how you guys doing good? Are you pretty good? Um?

1120
00:54:56,640 --> 00:55:00,120
Speaker 1: This is a question for Nick. Um. I listen to

1121
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 1: the show all the time. I've been meaning the call.

1122
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 1: But last Friday, you had a crazy prediction that the

1123
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,919
Speaker 1: game would be decided by a pick or it would

1124
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 1: be a huge play in the game, and you didn't

1125
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 1: talk about it at all. They don't they don't like

1126
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 1: to bring that stuff up. Actually kind of forgot about it.

1127
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 1: I said that there. I think I said there would

1128
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 1: be late in the game, would be a pick. I

1129
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 1: didn't say it was Jeff Heath. But yeah, well it happens.

1130
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,399
Speaker 1: I mean, if you sat next to me at the game,

1131
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 1: you'll see that I make a lot of predictions, and

1132
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 1: I'm not always right that he makes a ton of

1133
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: him what he's got one almost every other allies all credit,

1134
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 1: all credit in the world. Because Nick hits on a

1135
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 1: lot of predictions. He really does, but a lot out there.

1136
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 1: I thought he predicts something before every player, like and

1137
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 1: he's the Kobe Bryant, like he's gonna jack up a

1138
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 1: lot of shot every he's gonna hit almost every like

1139
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 1: I can because I sit two guys over right, got

1140
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 1: every play, but knowing if that's every play, that's not

1141
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:00,920
Speaker 1: every play, but you you throw them out there a

1142
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,279
Speaker 1: lot like, yeah, at least you'll throw one out there.

1143
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 1: I get real mad at myself when I don't say

1144
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 1: it and it happens it and then you do the

1145
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 1: makeup when and I was just about I want to

1146
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 1: hear that, right. It's kind of like Romo, you know,

1147
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,399
Speaker 1: just like better watch the motion here and like this

1148
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:20,800
Speaker 1: is going to turn and do that just it's okay.

1149
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: But but but I'll say this, the drive right before

1150
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 1: the half, the Cowboys had third and fifteen. Draw draw

1151
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:29,279
Speaker 1: this stupid why are they throwing? We throw on desk

1152
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 1: for twenty two like okay, okay, whatever, And then then

1153
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 1: there's Dak rolling around like Dak and running there it

1154
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: is he's open running okay, well, and then then they

1155
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:40,399
Speaker 1: score it and like, well, I don't know anything. That's

1156
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 1: exactly what you say. You're like, I don't know anything.

1157
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 1: I don't know anything. I just missed all that up.

1158
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:47,320
Speaker 1: So thank you for remembering that. And people on Twitter

1159
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 1: said that, but I you know, it's a little hollow

1160
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 1: because I do make a lot of predictions, and I'm

1161
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:54,800
Speaker 1: I don't even think I'm fifty percent. I don't. I

1162
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 1: don't think it's fifty percent. But yeah, just do follow

1163
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 1: up on a question y'all had earlier about Thanksgiving. I

1164
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:04,400
Speaker 1: calculated as their seven and ten in the past seventeen

1165
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:08,320
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving games seven and ten. Yeah boo, yeah, wow. I

1166
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:11,080
Speaker 1: didn't realize they've been that bad. I'm Thanksgiving. They've been

1167
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 1: good recently, but they had they were not good in

1168
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:15,359
Speaker 1: that now of course during those five and eleven years,

1169
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 1: they were just a bad team, right, yeah, that hurt them.

1170
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 1: They put themselves in quite a hole. Oh well, no,

1171
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't count when you no what I'm saying. And

1172
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 1: in those three years though, in the two thousand, thousand,

1173
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 1: one thousand and two, I think they were one and

1174
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 1: two in those two yea three years, so they lost

1175
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:36,439
Speaker 1: a bunch in a row. Um from two thousand and

1176
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 1: five until two thousand, Ron Dane, Yeah, maybe that's what

1177
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about ZA period when they were kind of

1178
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 1: reeling them off. One oh six, oh seven, O eight

1179
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 1: oh nine they lost they one oh nine, they lost ten.

1180
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 1: They didn't win in twenty ten, remember that one? Yeah? Thanks,

1181
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 1: that was thanks um. That was the the Roy Williams

1182
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 1: fumble game. Yeah yeah, they should have won that game. Yeah,

1183
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: they should have it. That was one of them game miraculous,

1184
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 1: you know, like everybody in my living room and like, well,

1185
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 1: I guess Saints they're gonna lose. And then there you go, Nope,
