19
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 4: let's see who doesn't. This is the first day we

20
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 4: start to figure out on a weekly basis. This is

21
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 4: the latest week we start to figure out if guys

22
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 4: like Dron Bland have a chance, if Michael Parsons has

23
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 4: a chance, and we'll kind of go from there.

24
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: Do you think anybody has a chance out of those

25
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 2: those two?

26
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 5: Specific walker Michael Parsons better in this game.

27
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 2: I'm for you. Oh hey, listen, I'm coming for you.

28
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: I do what I can.

29
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 6: I've saved, I've hit them with Miyagi.

30
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. You have done like I've

31
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: done all of this. At least you're doing it. I'm

32
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: doing my part.

33
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,639
Speaker 4: But no, seriously, man, I'm right there with you. Michael

34
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 4: Parsons absolutely needs to be on the field for this game.

35
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 4: If he if he can go, then you know, we'll

36
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 4: see how it goes. But I mean, Darn Bland is

37
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 4: a little bit of a different story in that Whereas

38
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 4: Michael Parsons is not on injured reserve, so there's not

39
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 4: that decision to be made. The decision has to be

40
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 4: made today on if ter Ron Bland is going to

41
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 4: be put on the active roster, and if he's not

42
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 4: put on the active roster, then he reverts to season

43
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 4: ending IR so kind of a massive day in that regard.

44
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 4: You would anticipate he would just anticipate he's going to

45
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 4: be at a fifty three man roster and then from

46
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 4: there he can be inactive, right, but he has to

47
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 4: go on because the twenty one day windows started three

48
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 4: wednesdays ago, literally twenty one days ago. So now and

49
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 4: that Cowboys can't continue to slow play it, like you said,

50
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 4: if they want to with dron Bland and you know,

51
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 4: but what you don't want to do is have him

52
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 4: become ready at some point in the season, and now

53
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 4: he's on season ending ir so the smart thing to

54
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 4: do would be the obvious thing, and you put him

55
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 4: on the active fifty three man roster. We'll see what

56
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 4: the corresponding roster move would be in that they.

57
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 2: Moved John Stevens. They did this past week over wa

58
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: signed Over Warre and and that was a corresponding move.

59
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 4: So we'll see presumably Deron Bland goes to the fifty three,

60
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 4: who comes off with the fifty three as a corresponding

61
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 4: But that doesn't mean that Duran is going to play

62
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 4: against the Falcons. What would indicate that is if he

63
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 4: returns to practice, like actually returns to practice, because he

64
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 4: was d and p all last week.

65
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 7: So at this point we got to see the Friday

66
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 7: practice report right, because Thay.

67
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 4: Three weeks ago before the try, he was full full

68
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 4: and then DMP and he's been Yeah.

69
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: I think there was I think there was a setback

70
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: because everything was pointing in the direction that he was

71
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: gonna play. He's gonna play.

72
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 5: People were talking frobout the building, every indication.

73
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: With every indication, and sure enough, not only did he

74
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: not play, but he goes d n P on Friday,

75
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: goes into the bye week. Everybody's like, ah, he'll be

76
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: good after the bye week. D m p'd all last

77
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 2: week and it's just I think something they said it

78
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: was soreness there. Stephen Jones reported it as soreness as

79
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: the setback.

80
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 4: I think it may have been something in itself. Hindsight

81
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 4: feels as if that was downplayed.

82
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: I think so too, so I think so so.

83
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 4: Transactionally, I expect that to be a thing for Deron today.

84
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: I'm going to ask a question on that too though.

85
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: But uh, if they were to put him on the

86
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: active roster, and in order to do so, you would

87
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 2: you would eliminate that twenty one day practice window. He

88
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 2: does not have to revert back to season ending. Ir correct.

89
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: How quickly. If let's say worst case scenario happens and

90
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: it was a significant setback, how quickly could they turn

91
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,679
Speaker 2: around and put them back on IR for four weeks?

92
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: If you put him back on IR, he's done. You

93
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 2: can't do it twice. You cannot do it twice. Cash.

94
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 4: That's to keep teams from doing that, Yeah, from going

95
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 4: correct back and.

96
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: Forth, fifth teams from hustling the system.

97
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 7: That means if he is on the active roster, then

98
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 7: at least you know he will be back at some

99
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 7: point this year.

100
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. Yeah, so's wild.

101
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, so Transactionally, I expect he'll be back on fifty

102
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 4: three man rusted.

103
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 2: It's not like fantasy where he can put him on

104
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 2: IR every since. Not Yahoo, This is not. So We'll see.

105
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 4: I mean, today's first at practice day. They'll be on

106
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 4: practice field at twelve fifty today. Mike McCarthy will talk

107
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 4: at twelve noon today. We'll see if he gives any

108
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 4: insight into you know, Yale green light the transaction or

109
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 4: if he slow plays it. But I still expect to

110
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 4: be done even if he doesn't, you know, show the hand.

111
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 4: See if Mike talks about Micah and the status of

112
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 4: Micah and you know, if there's anyone else that he's

113
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 4: looking to help contribute in a big way that just

114
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 4: has not been able to.

115
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 6: However, that might be practice squatter.

116
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 7: Otherwise, magic wand you could heal any player.

117
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 5: On the roster. Who would it be at this point.

118
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 6: I'm gonna say DeMarcus.

119
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 2: I thought about that too.

120
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 4: The reason I said DeMarcus is because Micah should be

121
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 4: like right there, DeMarcus is still on IR. So if

122
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 4: I got it, if I could waive the magic wand

123
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 4: and like delete him from IR and put him back.

124
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 4: Anybody back on the field, the elite, delete the elite,

125
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 4: it will.

126
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 2: Be DeMarcus Lawrence. You need, you need, you need to

127
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: improve this run defense. My first thought was DeMarcus Lawrence

128
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 2: run defense. That, yeah, I need some help because we've

129
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 2: got a guy called Beijon Robinson coming up this week.

130
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 2: That's he's pretty decent. Who was that he's pretty good running?

131
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 2: Say fewer things like that. I'm sorry, I don't like

132
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: I don't like what you're saying, pure and simple. That's

133
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: that was my first thought. Is give me the magic

134
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 2: wand come on come on back, Dlow, come on back, buddy.

135
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 5: I'm still I'm still with MI on this one.

136
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 7: I just feel like you have to account first what

137
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 7: he's doing.

138
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not going to say assuming, but I'm

139
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 4: optimistic he's Mikey is back this week. So because I'm

140
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 4: optimistic about that, I'm going d I'm not going to

141
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 4: waste yeah, over your shoulders. I'm not going to waste

142
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 4: my magic wand on a guy that I presume we'll

143
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 4: be back this week.

144
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 6: Anyway, I waste your wish.

145
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 2: This is a situational hypothetical, is what is happening? Right?

146
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: We're making your hypothetical situational?

147
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 8: Uh?

148
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 2: Any other news and notes before we move on to

149
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 2: the not.

150
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 4: At the moment, because they're coming off of a Tuesday

151
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 4: with no activity, no transactions or anything like that. No

152
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 4: one spoke on the radio. So yeah, we're rolling right,

153
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 4: No right, chuckle, we're rolling right into Wednesday.

154
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 2: Let's start this defensive preview by looking inward at this

155
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 2: Cowboys defense. Of course, across the board, it hasn't been pretty.

156
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: There hasn't been one specific unit that has stuck out

157
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: more than the other. Which unit right now needs the

158
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: most help going into this week against Atlanta. Defensive line

159
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: second level with the linebackers or the secondary with the

160
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: corners and the safeties. Which one are you going on.

161
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 7: I'm kicking off with the secondary. I feel like the

162
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 7: weapons that the Falcons have wide receiver wise, I think

163
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 7: that test will Obviously the defensive line needs to be

164
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 7: good because they could just run the ball, they could

165
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 7: stick with it.

166
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 5: But I think at least with Kirk Cousins on.

167
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 7: The other side of the ball having an MVP like

168
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 7: caliber season, the weapons are just too great in my opinion.

169
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 7: And if you have an AO out there who has

170
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 7: been serviceable in that role, but without Bland, without Carson,

171
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 7: it's a tall order. And especially with Trayvon Diggs, who's

172
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 7: you know, played relatively well, I think that the orders

173
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 7: a little bit too tall.

174
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 5: As far as secondary goes.

175
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 4: I'm going to go with the defensive line, and I'm

176
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 4: going with this run defense. Specifically, you're going up against

177
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 4: b Jon Robinson and Tyler Algier. They combined for more

178
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,599
Speaker 4: than nine hundred yards on the ground and five rushing touchdowns.

179
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 4: That's not to mention what they can do as receivers

180
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 4: out of the backfield. You're going to have to level

181
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 4: up your run defense and also seal the edges, and

182
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 4: that goes to linebackers as well, covering those two guys

183
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 4: coming out of the backfield to prevent them from beating receivers.

184
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm going with the defensive line with kind

185
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 4: of a little bit of a plus to the linebackers.

186
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 4: So let's say defensive front front seven front seven.

187
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 2: For me, Atlanta has the best duo of running backs

188
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 2: except for Detroit.

189
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 6: That you say so far this.

190
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 2: Season, Detroit's the only other team that has that type

191
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 2: of weaponry with two backs. And the thing about it is,

192
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 2: it's just like Detroit that complement each other. It's not

193
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 2: just Montgomery and Gibbs. Montgomery's kind of the bulldozer bell

194
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: coal over and over again. Red zone back Jumior Gibbs

195
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 2: is that speeds through with some elusiveness and some lateral ability.

196
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: You've got two guys in Bijon Robinson who can do

197
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 2: a little bit of everything. Bijeon's a complete tailback. He

198
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 2: can do it all. He can run heavy, he can

199
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 2: run quick, he can run lateral, he can block, he

200
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 2: can do all of it. That's why he was a

201
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 2: top pick in the drug correct.

202
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 7: But you look at the two headed monster of Darnell

203
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 7: Mooney and Drake London and I think it's.

204
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm not there yet. I'm not there.

205
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 5: Sorry, yeah, yeah, yeah.

206
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 2: But then you've got Tyler Tyler Algier behind them behind

207
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 2: and he's a bowling ball. He's a guy who's going

208
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 2: to run the football. So you look at that in

209
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 2: terms of the weaponry that Atlanta has, and then you

210
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: look at the wide receivers and you say, okay, you've

211
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 2: got Mooney, You've got you've got Drake London. Yes, then

212
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 2: you've also got Kyle Pitts. This is the closest offense

213
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 2: in terms of Atlanta that Dallas is faced to Detroit

214
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 2: so far. That's the close This is the closest thing.

215
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins is a game manager to a point where

216
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 2: he can just kind of think it, dun'k it, toss

217
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 2: it around. But that's not all he can do either.

218
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 2: It's kind of like Jared Goff.

219
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 5: No, well, look at his last game.

220
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 7: He averaged nine point five yards, four touchdowns, four touchdowns,

221
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 7: no interceptions, eighty percent completion percent.

222
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 2: No, he is a that's that's.

223
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 5: Arguably pretty good.

224
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's I'm comparing this as this is Detroit Junior.

225
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 2: It's not Detroit. It's not the Lions offense, but they're

226
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 2: very comparable in the way that they're built and the

227
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 2: way that they're managed, and they're going to try and

228
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 2: do the exact same thing Detroit did to you, which

229
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 2: is run it, run it, run it, and then big

230
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 2: bomb over at the top. The guys like Sam la Porter,

231
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 2: Kyle Pitts, guys like guys like Jamison Williams, Drake London.

232
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 2: I mean, they've got so many different guys, Miners, Saint Brown,

233
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 2: You've got Mooney, I mean, all of it.

234
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 7: That is a scary comparison. If you think about it

235
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 7: like that, that's actually like scary accurate.

236
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, but like I said, it has to start with spooped.

237
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, he shook it before Halloween tomorrow, shook it spooky season.

238
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean that's why for me, it has

239
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 4: to be the defensive line, in the defensive front seven,

240
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 4: because if you can do your best to bottle up

241
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 4: that run rushing attack with Robinson and Algier. And that

242
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 4: also goes to, like I said, the linebackers keeping them

243
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 4: in the backfield from being receivers, because the Falcons' third

244
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 4: leading receiver is b John Robinson, so.

245
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 6: Hate that yeah he can.

246
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 2: I don't like that, right.

247
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 4: So if you are not able to stop that two

248
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 4: headed rushing attack slash receiving attack out of the backfield,

249
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 4: your cornerbacks are going to have a much longer day

250
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 4: because now they're going to start thinking, should I when

251
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 4: I when they? If I'm Trayvon Diggs, I would like

252
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 4: to be purely thinking about coverage. But if my front

253
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 4: seven isn't playing effectively, then now I got to start thinking, well,

254
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 4: maybe if I see Bejeon coming out on the edge,

255
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 4: maybe I need to crash down. Well, guess what as

256
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 4: soon as I do that over the top of my

257
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 4: head to Drake London or whomever Kirk Cousins chooses on

258
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 4: that particular play.

259
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 6: So, I don't think it works in the verse.

260
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 4: I don't think it's a situation where, oh, if you

261
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 4: stop the pass, then this Cowboys defense has shown time

262
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 4: and again that they struggle stopping the run, and then

263
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 4: that leads to them being unable to consistently stop the pass.

264
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 2: Atlanta has scored twenty nine point eight points per game,

265
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 2: so nearly thirty points per game over the last four games.

266
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 2: It's the fourth most in the NFL over that span.

267
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 2: And they scored, of course, thirty one points last week

268
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 2: in the win against Tampa Bay. They've won four of

269
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 2: their last five games in order to take the lead

270
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 2: inside the NFC South, We've got more on the Atlanta defense.

271
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 2: I want to take our first break because I want

272
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 2: to leave enough time in the final segment for my

273
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 2: guy Patrick. No c Walker hit some lab coat. So

274
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 2: when we come back, we'll take a deeper dive into this.

275
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 2: Which weapon from the Atlanta Falcons worries you the most

276
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 2: going up against this Dallas defense? Plus what's the Dallas

277
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 2: percentage to make the playoffs? Now at three and four,

278
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: I've got a number for you when we come back

279
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,200

Speaker 9: per hour. But the good news is Todd has AT

00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,479

00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 11: one of a kind fandom paired with the one of

324
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 2: of the show is brought to you by a Quaker Oats,

327
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 2: as always. We had some great calls yesterday.

328
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 6: I'll talk fantastic.

329
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 5: I love it when we get quite a few in.

330
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, and spread spread the love, you know what I mean,

331
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 7: new people calling and old people calling.

332
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love. There was a lot of hopeism, hope

333
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: kind of throwing out there. And that's one thing I've

334
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 2: noticed about the Talking Cowboys viewership is there's still certainly

335
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: the the frustrated fan, and there's probably a lot of

336
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 2: them right now, because I think all of us are

337
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 2: a little frustrated at times with this football team. Me,

338
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 2: oh yeah, what are you talking about. But a lot

339
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: of times the callers specifically are very optimistic, and I

340
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 2: enjoy that. I think it's great. It provides a new perspective.

341
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 2: And I thought yesterday, right at the end, we had

342
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: a very good call down the stretch that was all

343
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,479
Speaker 2: about optimism. I believe it was Gavin that had the optimism.

344
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, you had me ready to run through a brick wall,

345
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 7: Thank goodness Gavin did.

346
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: But what have you seen? Yeah, not the same today,

347
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 2: not this march, Gavin, Go ahead, give it a call.

348
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 6: Recent when you went to sleep, Yeah, I've slept since then.

349
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 2: Uh, Cowboys at three and four? Do you know the

350
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 2: percentage off the top of your head of how many

351
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 2: three and four teams have ever made the playoffs in

352
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 2: the NFL.

353
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 7: Top of my head, if you had a guess three

354
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 7: and four, I'd say twenty nine percent.

355
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 2: Okay, twenty nine percent, would you say, Pat, I go

356
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 2: thirty five? Thirty five? Little bit bigger three and four

357
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 2: teams that have made the playoffs nineteen point two percent

358
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 2: m GB not good, right, not great? Ball not great,

359
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 2: but not great.

360
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 5: That puts us in a pickle.

361
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 2: Forty four times in NFL history that a three and

362
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 2: four team has made the playoffs forty four. So Dallas

363
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 2: could be number forty five, could be a nice round

364
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 2: number forty five. Dallas has done it before. By the way,

365
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 2: they were three and four back in twenty eighteen. Turn

366
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 2: Around made the playoffs. They won seven of their last

367
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 2: eight games in order to do so a little bit

368
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 2: of a tougher schedule this time around than it was.

369
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 4: Also eighteen at the trade did they did a thing?

370
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 2: A thing? Winton got a guy named Amari Cooper that

371
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: helped you kind of turn things around. So might it

372
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 2: take doing another big thing?

373
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 5: I mean at what position? At what position?

374
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 2: What would Yeah, that's a great point. What would you

375
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 2: do it at?

376
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 3: MM?

377
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 2: Well, assume because we can't talk about players specifically, but

378
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 2: we can.

379
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 5: Just a guy, just one guy, one position.

380
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 2: We can't talk no, I mean like yeah, like one spot.

381
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 5: In theory, it would be a man.

382
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 2: Theory would be.

383
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 4: Like the guy on that shirt, you know, man, Just

384
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 4: just just drop a guy right next to Osa. Just

385
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 4: drop a guy right next big body defensive. Just drop

386
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 4: a monster right next to Osa. And let's really get

387
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 4: this cooking.

388
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 2: And I mean scrab Aaron Donald off the what not?

389
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 2: I mean, Maus Smith.

390
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 4: He's he's shown progress over year one most certainly that is,

391
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 4: you know, not even arguable.

392
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: He has shown progress.

393
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 4: Is he where you would like him to be at

394
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 4: this point as far as mauling guys consistently every single rep?

395
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 6: He's not quite there yet. He's getting there, but not

396
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 6: quite there yet.

397
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 4: And if we're talking about potentially saving the season, trade

398
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 4: for just an absolute monster. Put him in between Tank

399
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 4: and Osa and Micah and uh and in front of

400
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 4: Kendrickson and was shown and go eat these.

401
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,959
Speaker 2: Numbers, by the way, these percentages, I just looked at

402
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 2: it again. Since nineteen ninety, thirty twenty percent, twenty percent.

403
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 2: Since nineteen ninety, I have made it only one team

404
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 2: out of two hundred and twenty nine teams that have

405
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 2: started three and four have won the Super Bowl, and

406
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 2: only twelve or only twenty one of those teams have

407
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 2: won their division.

408
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, you got some pretty good teams in this division.

409
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 2: There's some decent teams. So this one you're gonna play

410
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 2: four games against two of the good teams in the division,

411
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 2: Washington and Philly, and kind of go from there.

412
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 5: Who's your guy, though, are what position group?

413
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 2: It's tough, it really is.

414
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, because it's not just one position.

415
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 2: No, you could make a move anywhere and feel pretty good.

416
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 2: I still would go get an impact wide receiver, even

417
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 2: with Cooks coming back, even with Trucks coming back, even

418
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 2: with Cooks coming back. Because my thing is Cooks is

419
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 2: at the end of his contract at the end of

420
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 2: this year. Outside of the final eight games last year,

421
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 2: I don't see anything from Brandon Cooks that would encourage

422
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 2: me to possibly re sign him and move him further

423
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 2: into the Dallas or bring him back to Dallas next

424
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 2: year and beyond. Right this second, while he's the number

425
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 2: two guy, I would do it. But if you had

426
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 2: a guy and you could bring him in and it's

427
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 2: an impact player on the opposite side of ceedee Lamb,

428
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 2: and you could sign him for a long term deal,

429
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 2: even if it's not necessarily a huge contract. I would

430
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 2: rather do that, man. I feel like Brandon Cooks can

431
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 2: no punt attendency. I love.

432
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 4: I think he can cook up when he comes back

433
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 4: fully healthy, I'd be okay with that. Fully healthy.

434
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 2: I think he just didn't see it before the injury,

435
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 2: and I'm skeptical when he comes back that it's going

436
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 2: to be better than it was.

437
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 4: Before the Yeah, and I know he said in the

438
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 4: locker room, just on some in some off the cuff

439
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 4: conversations that it wasn't something that lingered from training camp,

440
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 4: but players say things around and there was some soreness

441
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 4: in training camp that caused him to miss some practices

442
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 4: and just the I don't believe in coincidence. So the

443
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 4: timing of it right, So that leads me to this statement,

444
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 4: which is Brandon Cook's coming back from ir completely healthy

445
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 4: on the back end of a season. We saw what

446
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 4: he can do with the back end of last season.

447
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 4: Right when they get him involved, that's gonna be key.

448
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 4: Get him involved, get him the targets. You do that,

449
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 4: I think he can keep you off of that trade

450
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 4: for wide receiver conversation.

451
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 6: But that's just that's just met.

452
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 2: I agree, and I think he's a good receiver. The

453
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 2: one thing about this receiving room, it's not I'm not

454
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 2: making a trade based on Brandon Cooks or not making

455
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 2: a trade based on Brandon Cooks. I'm making it because

456
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 2: I haven't hit in any of these other guys. Jalen

457
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 2: Tolbert's been such a flash in the pan. I wish

458
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 2: he would be more consistent, if he could be more

459
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 2: consistent than great, but the film is telling me otherwise.

460
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,719
Speaker 4: Wishman would bring in that catch, this same thing turping

461
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 4: his run blocking too.

462
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 2: He has zero confidence in his hands. Run blocking has

463
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 2: always been a problem across the board for the wide receivers.

464
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 2: I mean, Jalen Brooks has been inconsistent. There's nobody outside

465
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 2: of Ceedee Lamb right now that I trust to throw

466
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 2: the football too in a big time scenario. And we

467
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 2: showed that again this past week. Whenever on third down

468
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 2: you go to Kvanti Turpin and complete pass. Best ball

469
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 2: that Dack threw all night right through his hands incomplete.

470
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 2: Another one was into double coverage against Jalen Brooks. I

471
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 2: don't know why We're throwing to Jalen Brooks and Cavante

472
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 2: Turpin when the game is on the line to try

473
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 2: and get a first down in the final waning moments.

474
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 2: And the reason why is because you can't. You don't

475
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 2: have another.

476
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 4: Target in that instance that would rather be Jalen Tolbert

477
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 4: as the target. Because that's at least something I've seen

478
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 4: from Jalen Tolbert over the course of these first seven games.

479
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 4: He's come up with some big throws when he's been

480
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 4: targeted in a big situation.

481
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 2: I'm at the point where if Ceedee Lamb is triple covered,

482
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 2: still try and find a way to throw it. Throw

483
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 2: in the football because I don't trust anybody else on

484
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 2: the offense. I don't trust anybody in the wide receiving room.

485
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 7: And as far as Tolbert goes, I think outside of

486
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 7: his targets, I don't think he's doing a great job

487
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 7: as far as run blocking, Like I really think that

488
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 7: that is a huge lacking well.

489
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,719
Speaker 2: And if you go and look at Troy Aikman's comments

490
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 2: last week when he was talking about the wide receivers

491
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 2: and the lack of effort, that's not necessarily pointing fingers

492
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 2: specifically at Ceedee Lamb. There are a couple of times.

493
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 2: There are a couple instances it's really pointing fingers at

494
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 2: the other guys. Yeah, looking pointing fingers directly at at

495
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 2: Jalen Tolbert, who takes plays off from time to time.

496
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 2: You've got Cavante Turpin that takes plays off and just

497
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 2: doesn't have the confidence level. And then Jalen Brooks, who

498
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 2: is just too inconsistent in what he's doing. Period. So

499
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 2: I would trade for a wide receiver. That's not the

500
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 2: only position I would trade for. I would love a

501
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 2: big body defensive tackle, but the one option I think

502
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 2: I would rather have Brandon Cooks come back and he's

503
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 2: not forced, kind of like the Michael Gallup situation where

504
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 2: he's not forced to be your wide receiver too. Is

505
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 2: he good enough coming back from injury fully healthy to

506
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 2: be wide receiver to absolutely? I think Brandon Cooks can

507
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 2: help your offense, But I just don't think I want

508
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 2: to put him in that that peg. And that's exactly

509
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 2: what he's gonna be whenever he comes back, regardless, right

510
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 2: this second, without another wise.

511
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 4: Especially considering he will be a free agent next year,

512
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 4: so he's going to want to prove some things which

513
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 4: he could work in the Cowboys favor.

514
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: Who you get now? Who you got? But what position

515
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 2: you get?

516
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 12: Uh?

517
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 5: Okay it I've changed my tune on this because it

518
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 5: used to.

519
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 2: Be wide receiver. You were a wide receiver.

520
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 7: Wide receiver. I was a wide receiver guy before. At

521
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 7: least for me right now, I think you need juice

522
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 7: in the backfield. The fact that you don't have a

523
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 7: running back that anybody's afraid of. You know, at one

524
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 7: point I didn't one point nine did not do it

525
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 7: for me. Like we saw the experiment.

526
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 2: I love that they tried it.

527
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, at least they tried it. You know, you can't.

528
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 7: It's the definition of insanity, right, doing the same thing

529
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 7: over and over again expecting a different result. At least

530
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 7: for me, you need juice in the backfield.

531
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 5: You need some youth.

532
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 7: You need some speed, someone that's going to be an

533
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 7: actual threat for you backfield in the backfield, someone that

534
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 7: can actually help on screen passes.

535
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 5: That you like, you're afraid of. To me, it's a

536
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 5: running back.

537
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 7: I would really, really I would love to see what

538
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 7: they do with with some youth back there.

539
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's a couple of teams that could possibly

540
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 2: throw some running backs on the trade trade.

541
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 5: Don't you name names, Kyle.

542
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 2: I'm not going to, but there's a couple of them

543
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 2: out there. I'm just saying, Derek's listening, don't you do.

544
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna do it. We're gonna hear all which

545
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 2: weapon on the Atlanta defense worries you the most going

546
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 2: into this weekend.

547
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 4: I kind of took my hand on it when I said,

548
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 4: when I talked about the defensive line, of the defensive front,

549
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 4: it's b Jeon Robinson for me, for miss b John Robinson.

550
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 4: He's he's a game wrecker if you allow him to

551
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 4: be in sometimes even if you don't allow him to

552
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 4: be a game rerecerd he's going to wreck your game.

553
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 4: This is a guy, you know, one of the top

554
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 4: overall picks in the NFL coming out of Texas, and

555
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 4: he has done nothing except prove why he was one

556
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 4: of the top overall picks coming out of Texas. So

557
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 4: five hundred and forty six rushing yards, four rushing touchdowns,

558
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 4: showing it as a receiver as well, two hundred and

559
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 4: forty four receiving yards averaging seven point nine yards per reception.

560
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 4: Those numbers that are better than a lot of wide

561
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 4: receivers in the NFL, So you don't have to You

562
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 4: said it eloquently earlier, Kyle. He can do it all.

563
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, right, so not only because he can pass

564
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 4: pro as well. So he can absolutely so he can

565
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 4: pass pro. He can be a receiver, not just a

566
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 4: receiver that oh well, he's a press button in case

567
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 4: of emergency with a dump off and maybe he gets

568
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 4: you at the line of scrimmage. No, if you get

569
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 4: the ball in his hands in space, it can easily

570
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 4: be a first down conversion. Again, he's averaging almost eight

571
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 4: yards per catch, and not all of those are eight

572
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,719
Speaker 4: yards of depth, right, Those a lot of yak yards

573
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 4: for b John Robinson.

574
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 6: So that's as a receiver.

575
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 4: As a running back, he's powerful because a lot of

576
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 4: people think because he's so shifty, because he's so quick,

577
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 4: because he has that speed, that he.

578
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 2: Won't just run right through you.

579
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 4: But oh, you would be incorrect in that assessment, because

580
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 4: he will run right through you as well. So for me,

581
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 4: it's b John Robinson. He can be an absolute terror

582
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 4: for the Falcons and against the Cowboys, who I mean,

583
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 4: even if they had solid run defense, I would still

584
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 4: say be John Robinson. But you don't have solid run defense.

585
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 4: You have run defense that's been struggling weekend, week out,

586
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 4: and now it's going up against one of the best

587
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 4: running backs in the league in Bjon. So I think

588
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 4: this game will go as the Cowboys allow Bijeon to

589
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 4: go if they can, and this is going to be

590
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 4: a tall ask. If you can shut down or contain Bijon,

591
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 4: the rest of the game doesn't become easy, but it

592
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 4: becomes easier.

593
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 5: That's fair. That's fair.

594
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 7: But okay, these are the Atlanta Falcons, man, and I

595
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 7: think one of the things that they've had consistently throughout

596
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 7: the years, and I'm gonna cheat just to go for it,

597
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 7: tiny bit. It's the dual threat of Drake London and

598
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 7: Darnel Mooney. If you look at the history of the

599
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,959
Speaker 7: Atlanta Falcons, they've had these tandems a lot. I mean,

600
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 7: if you think of Roddy White and Julio Jones, I mean,

601
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 7: they've had the wide receivers that are basically polar opposites

602
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 7: of each other. One is a possession guy, tall, the

603
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 7: other is short and speedy and quick. With Drake Lennon

604
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 7: Darnel Mooney, I think that tandem, especially going up against

605
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 7: a uh some holes in the secondary.

606
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 5: I think you're gonna have you hear.

607
00:27:56,040 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 10: How who are the.

608
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 2: Uh it's gonna be yeah, all right, Mickey, Mickey Mouse

609
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 2: not Mickey's back.

610
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 4: There's an episode, there's an episode of Family Guy with

611
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 4: Stewie does that. And if you know, you know, I'm

612
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 4: not gonna go out into just YouTube. It's just Stewie

613
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 4: high pitched voice. He keep with every question in his paragraph,

614
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 4: he keeps going higher and higher.

615
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 6: Is that what we're doing?

616
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 7: It is the tandem of Drake Lennon learning for me

617
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 7: with a yeah, banged the backfield. I think that's gonna

618
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 7: be tough.

619
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. Forty eight receptions, five and twenty five receiving yards

620
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 2: and uh touch or five touchdowns for Drake London, time

621
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 2: for fourth in the NFL with five receiving touchdowns. Darnell

622
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 2: Mooney has four touchdowns as well. So can't count those

623
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 2: guys out. I'm gonna go with Patrick here specifically because

624
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 2: b John Robinson and Patrick are like this. It's October,

625
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 2: right it is, which means the Fall Classics going on.

626
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 2: There's a little baseball happening. You hear about in baseball

627
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 2: scouting A five tool player. Oh yeah, five tool player.

628
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 2: B John Robinson is a five tool player, and in

629
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 2: baseball specifically, it is hit for average, Okay, four point

630
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 2: seven yards per carry. He's efficient as the number three

631
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 2: receiver overall on this Atlanta Falcons team, behind the two

632
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 2: guys we just mentioned in Mooney and Drake London. So

633
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 2: there you go, hitting for average, hitting for power. Dude,

634
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 2: he's just straight power, that's all he is. He's rocked

635
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 2: up as an individual. You can use him as a

636
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 2: bell cow back. You can use him as a don't start,

637
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 2: don't start with me. You get He's a great, solid,

638
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 2: powerful player. Yes, whenever it comes to bell cow back explosiveness,

639
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 2: you can do it either way. Then you got speed.

640
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 2: There's the explosiveness. He's got the speed to get through

641
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 2: the edge. He's got the latteral ability arm strength. Of course,

642
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 2: you're not throwing the football at all, but we'll just

643
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 2: equate it to overall strength and being able to push

644
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 2: the pile. He's got that. And then fielding ability. I'll

645
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 2: equate fielding ability to pass pro. Yes, in terms of

646
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 2: a running back, Yes like it, And so I would

647
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 2: say pass pro is exceptional for B. Jhon Robinson. Is

648
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,719
Speaker 2: he top five in the league in that category now?

649
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 2: But I would give him a plus grade in doing so,

650
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 2: and so across the board. B Jon Robinson a five

651
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 2: tool player and players like that have given problems to

652
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 2: Dallas this season. I'm gonna name the four guys, top

653
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 2: four guys in the NFL right now in terms of

654
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 2: scrimmage yards. It stopped me. If you've heard of these

655
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 2: guys so far this season already? Number one, Derrick Henry,

656
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 2: seen him already. How did that go for you?

657
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 12: Great?

658
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 2: Not great? Not great? Number two, we haven't seen him yet,

659
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 2: but you'll see him twice. Saquon Barkley, who's had a

660
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 2: great year so far for the Philadelphia station. You'll see

661
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 2: him twice.

662
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 13: Go.

663
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 2: Number three on that list, Alvin Kamara, you've seen him before.

664
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 6: He had a daw did that show?

665
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 5: He heard it?

666
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 2: Hi can go well. Four touchdowns for Alvin Kamara against you.

667
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 2: B John Robinson's number four on that list, and he's

668
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 2: not far off from Derek Henry, Saquon Barkley, Alvin Kamara.

669
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 2: That's the type of individual you're facing this week against

670
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys. I'm worried. I'm worried about it, and

671
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 2: they've got to change a pace back to Tyler Algier,

672
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 2: who I think does a phenomenal job. He's kind of

673
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 2: one of the more underrated backs in the NFL right

674
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,959
Speaker 2: coming out of BYU. Just a guy who does it

675
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 2: all right.

676
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 7: Not quite the Detroit tandem, but no, I think Bjon

677
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 7: is taking over a lot of those responsibilities.

678
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 2: Where the Detroit tandem is very, very subjective, and it

679
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 2: could go anywhere from fifty five to forty five percent

680
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 2: between the two on a day to day basis, and

681
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 2: it kind of fluctuates a couple points Bijon, it's really

682
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 2: seventy thirty or seventy five to twenty five. Like they

683
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 2: they rely on Bjhon heavily because he's a complete player,

684
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 2: because he's a five tool guy. When we come back

685
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 2: here on talking Cowboys, we've got Patrick Noci Walker with

686
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 2: some lab coat. What do we got today?

687
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 4: We're going to use this lab quote as a segue

688
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 4: to tomorrow, which tomorrow we will talk about the Cowboys offense, yes, sir,

689
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 4: versus the Falcons defense. So there's a couple figures here

690
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 4: that the Cowboys have no choice but to stay clear of.

691
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 4: In Atlanta, or it's going to be a long and

692
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 4: awful day.

693
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 9: Right after this, with more talking cowboys, Todd thought it

694
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 9: would be secure to jog in the cheetah Savannah. Todd

695
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 9: believed the big Cat repellent he bought online was reliable.

696
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 9: And now Todd is trying to be faster than this

697
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 9: cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour. But the

698
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 9: good news is Todd has AT and T five G.

699
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 9: It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he learned the

700
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 9: best thing to do is stop running and toss her

701
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 9: the backpack with the beef stew At and T five G. Fast, reliable, Secure.

Speaker 4: So, like I said before the break, we are going

742
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 4: to use this as a segue to talking about the

743
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 4: Cowboys offense versus the Falcons defense, which will be tomorrow

744
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 4: and you'll be tuned in, Yes, you will see what

745
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 4: we're talking about there.

746
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 6: Sick all right, So Sick, let's talk about.

747
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 2: The number one Numero Uno.

748
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 4: The Dallas Cowboys have had an issue this two issues

749
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 4: actually this season on one issue being their inability to

750
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 4: take the b all the way, the other issue being

751
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 4: the willing not willingness, but the inability to not give

752
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 4: the ball away. Okay, Dak Prescott has his past three

753
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,240
Speaker 4: games two interceptions a piece, first players since Troy Aikman

754
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 4: did that in nineteen ninety two.

755
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 2: Troy Aman did go on to win the Super Bowl

756
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 2: that year. So I don't know, but.

757
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,240
Speaker 6: There's there's some historical that. Good, Boby, that's great, Bob,

758
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 6: do that TGV. Dude, you know what.

759
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,879
Speaker 2: Let's just let's let's make sure and repeat history this time, Dak,

760
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 2: what do you say about it? Let's let's go and

761
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 2: do it all right.

762
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 4: So, going back to the numeral uno, when Dak throws

763
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 4: no interceptions, When no interceptions are thrown in the game,

764
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 4: he is fifty one and fourteen. Fifty one and fourteen.

765
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:46,720
Speaker 4: That changes wildly once he throws an interception. Wow, Okay,

766
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 4: when one interception is thrown, he's seventeen for sixteen. So

767
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 4: he's just he becomes a five hundred quarterback. Now, when

768
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 4: we're talking QBU records, let's all the science, all the

769
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 4: variables matter. What is your defense doing? Again, defense is

770
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 4: unable to take the ball way to wash away that

771
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 4: giveaway that you just had. Are you able to score

772
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 4: more touchdowns than the interceptions. That's also one problem that

773
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 4: Dak Prescott is having. He's not thrown for more touchdowns

774
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 4: than interceptions in any of the games this year in

775
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 4: which he has more than one interception, right, so he

776
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 4: has two interceptions. The max that he's had for touchdowns

777
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 4: has been two. So it's just the math Dame math

778
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 4: in there in his favor. Right when he throws two

779
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,439
Speaker 4: or more interceptions in the career, as he has over

780
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 4: the past three games, and in four games this season

781
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 4: he's seven and sixteen, So there is this event horizon

782
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 4: all things.

783
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 2: That's seven number is actually a little surprising that it's

784
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 2: that high.

785
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 6: Well, that's fair, but then I.

786
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 2: Figured it would be lower and more losses two things.

787
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 4: When your defense is taking the ball away as it

788
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 4: has been in seasons prior to this one, and when

789
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 4: you're out throwing the interceptions with the touchdowns as he

790
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 4: has been doing in seasons prior.

791
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 2: To this one, you can't have like a four touchdown

792
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 2: game two interceptions.

793
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 6: Rh late thing exactly.

794
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you can't have a two touchdown game with

795
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 4: one to a two interception game with one touchdown or

796
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 4: two interceptions with two touchdowns and no takeaways from your defense,

797
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 4: All those things work together. But the fact is the

798
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 4: fact when he throws one interception, just one, that Winnie

799
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 4: percentage drops quite a bit, and it has to be

800
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 4: bullied again by things that are not happening. Where's your takeaways?

801
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 4: Where's your touchdowns? When he throws two or more, it

802
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 4: really goes in tailspins. There the point differential this season,

803
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 4: in the four games in which Dak Prescott has thrown

804
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 4: a single in at least one interception and he's thrown

805
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 4: two four times, that's what it has.

806
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 6: Eight seventy two.

807
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 4: Points for the Cowboys, one hundred and thirty eight points

808
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 4: for the opposition. So again, it's not simply that the

809
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 4: interception was thrown, it's that the touchdowns are not being

810
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 4: thrown to counteract those. Okay, point differential is wild. But

811
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 4: when he commits no turnovers whatsoever, that includes no loss fumbles,

812
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 4: Cowboys are back in good space. Forty three and ten

813
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 4: as a career record for Dak Prescott.

814
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 2: So I say that to.

815
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 4: Say you need to do two things, three things. Actually, Okay,

816
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 4: we all know you need to score touchdowns. You know

817
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 4: you need to score touchdowns, make it happen. But if

818
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 4: your defense is going to continue to struggle with taking

819
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 4: the ball away. That means you no longer have that eraser.

820
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 4: You cannot throw interceptions.

821
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 6: Not even one.

822
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 4: So now we're approaching perfection, daph and that's dangerous air

823
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 4: because how often is it that even the elite quarterbacks

824
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 4: in the league, how often is it that they have

825
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 4: to play perfect football to win a game? And maybe

826
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 4: you can get away with that for one game Jered

827
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 4: Goff had an eighteen for eighteen. Maybe you can get

828
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 4: away with an elite quarterback having a perfect game once,

829
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 4: but if you need him to do that seventeen times

830
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 4: every game, you're in trouble.

831
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 7: It also doesn't help, Like you don't want Dak to

832
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 7: be throwing thirty eight times in a game, And that

833
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 7: leads me to there you go, the running game, like

834
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 7: the fact that it is there you go, it is

835
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 7: not non existent. It means you have to lean on

836
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 7: Dak throwing the ball thirty eight times a game, which

837
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 7: is not what you want. You want him at twenty five, Matt.

838
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,280
Speaker 4: The only way you would be okay with Dak Prescott

839
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 4: throwing down there forty times a game is if the

840
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 4: touchdowns were coming with that right, and they're not because

841
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 4: the more you throw, the more opportunity there is for

842
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 4: a mistake.

843
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 2: You're talking about the Kellen Moore offense at that point, Yeah,

844
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 2: at that.

845
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 4: Point of time, if you're right, if you're talking about

846
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 4: throwing consistently, that you got to know every time you

847
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 4: put that ball in the air, that's an opportunity for

848
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 4: something to go wrong. That's first and foremost, and then

849
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 4: the only way that you can watch that forty times

850
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 4: I would take I don't want this to happen consistently,

851
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 4: But if he had to.

852
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 2: Outthrow Kirk Cousins.

853
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 4: For example, if after the game, I looked at that

854
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 4: stat line and it was Dak Prescott threw forty one

855
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 4: times for three seventy five he had, you know, two interceptions,

856
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 4: but he had touchdowns.

857
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 2: I'll be down for that.

858
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 6: I'm taking that. I'll take that.

859
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 4: However, if he throws forty one times and it's two

860
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 4: interceptions and it's one touchdown and it's two hundred and

861
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 4: seventy five yards, that's probably a loss. So it's it's

862
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 4: all contextual. But until the Cowboys get their offense humming

863
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 4: in the end zone, or until the defense starts humming

864
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 4: and taking the ball away, Dak Prescott really kind of

865
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:26,240
Speaker 4: has to play perfect football.

866
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 2: That's tough. I remember seeing and I wish I remembered

867
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 2: off the top of my head, who includes running, Yes,

868
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 2: who tweeted this out after the game, But it was

869
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 2: the tweet red Dak Prescott's second interception broke this football team.

870
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,800
Speaker 2: And this was this past week against San Francisco.

871
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 5: It was the backbreaker for sure.

872
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 2: It was in that game, at least in that game specifically,

873
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 2: it absolutely was. And then that's that's not all on Dak.

874
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 2: It is on Dak specifically because he threw the interception

875
00:40:58,120 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 2: and that number back count to the quarterback. It was

876
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 2: a bad pass, but a lot of it is kind

877
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 2: of in that mindset like you're talking about, of him pressing,

878
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 2: of him trying to do too much, of him not

879
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 2: having the help of play action. We talked about it

880
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,959
Speaker 2: last week. They've run how many players of play action?

881
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 2: Twenty On the entire season, they've run twenty snaps of

882
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 2: play actions. And that is the threat because you have

883
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 2: a zero running attack, zero And this is kind of

884
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 2: what I'm gonna go all the way back and if

885
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 2: I need to go get the receipts, I will go

886
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 2: find the receipts find them. But in training camp we

887
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 2: talked about it. Man, we talked about it, and I said,

888
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 2: I'm worried about the running attack. I'm running worried about

889
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 2: these running backs. I'm worried about the effectiveness that they're

890
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 2: gonna have because not only does Dak Prescott need a

891
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 2: rushing attack to throw the football effectively out of play action,

892
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 2: he needs it to throw the football effectively period, just

893
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 2: because of the threat that it gives. Teams are daring

894
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott to throw it into coverage and they're gonna

895
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 2: they're gonna unload the box, they're gonna drop back, and

896
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 2: they're gonna let Dak try and pick him apart and

897
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 2: try and be perfect to go along with what you're saying.

898
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 2: So the film backs up all the numbers that you

899
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 2: just gave, and it just continues to snowball as the

900
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 2: season goes on because teams they see the answers to

901
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 2: the test before they even take it.

902
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're doing.

903
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 2: Their study in and they're like, oh, okay, we'll just

904
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 2: dare Dact to beat there.

905
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 4: And I don't think people understand how concerning it is

906
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 4: for you to have to have your quarterback play perfect

907
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 4: football every single week, like it's hyperbole to say, well,

908
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 4: that's the goal. Of course, that's the goal. That's the

909
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 4: goal for every quarterback for all thirty two teams.

910
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 2: Just to go on there every single time.

911
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 4: Right, But the reality is is it's not going to

912
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 4: happen often because those are other NFL players that you're

913
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,320
Speaker 4: going up against. They get paid to, they most of

914
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 4: them got drafted to, They have contracts on the line, yeah,

915
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 4: you know, and then they play up to the.

916
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 6: Cowboys on top of all of that.

917
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 4: So when we talk about Dak Prescott would have to

918
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,919
Speaker 4: play perfect football weekend week out until the defense gets

919
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,399
Speaker 4: it figured out and until the other thing gets figured out.

920
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 4: That also goes to using his legs as well, because

921
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,800
Speaker 4: with the pressure coming from his offensive line, he can't

922
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 4: stand there and be.

923
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:05,439
Speaker 6: A statue and take sacks.

924
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,439
Speaker 4: The Cowboys and Dak Prescott's record when he sacked one

925
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,240
Speaker 4: time or fewer forty one and eleven, when he sacked

926
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 4: one and a half times a greater thirty five and

927
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 4: thirty four don't just stand back there and move around,

928
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 4: but create the threat, even if it's just the illusion.

929
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 4: But in order to create the illusion, you have to

930
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 4: first create the threat. Okay, so we talked about it yesterday.

931
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,919
Speaker 4: For his escapability. If you're going to roll out left

932
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 4: or right, which I highly advise, if you never crossed the.

933
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 6: Line of scrimmage.

934
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 4: If I'm a defensive back or a linebacker, why would I

935
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:34,800
Speaker 4: care that you rolled out. I'm just gonna stay in

936
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,439
Speaker 4: my coverage. I'm gonna stay in my lanes. We're gonna

937
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 4: stay with my keys and my assignments. Every once in

938
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 4: a while, you got to break that plane and line

939
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 4: of scrimmage, and you got to get those yards at

940
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 4: least once or twice in the game so that the

941
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 4: next time you roll out, which you probably will have

942
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 4: to until you get consistent blocking up front. Now they're thinking,

943
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 4: make them think. Linebacker comes off of his key, middle

944
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 4: of the field is open for Jake, defensive back comes

945
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,760
Speaker 4: off of his key. Well there you go for Ceedee

946
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 4: Lamb right there. So you have to make them play.

947
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 4: So when I say, Dak Prescott right now in this

948
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 4: version of the Cowboys has to play perfect football.

949
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 6: I am not exaggerating. He has to.

950
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 4: But the problem is is, how likely is it, Excuse me,

951
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 4: how likely is it that he or anyone can.

952
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:15,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, you have to take positive yards.

953
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,879
Speaker 7: When you can take what you can, it will take

954
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,280
Speaker 7: what they're giving you. I mean, if if the scramble

955
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 7: results in a two yard game, that's better than two yards.

956
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 7: It's better than throwing on second and ten.

957
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 6: Or getting sacked for a loss of five.

958
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 5: Exactly.

959
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 2: That uh, cleaning cleaning up. A stat that I just mentioned,

960
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 2: twenty percent of snaps is play action, not twenty snaps.

961
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 2: I think I was going to say, down, yeah, now

962
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 2: it's fifty four snaps. Totally, it was twenty percent of snaps.

963
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 2: Fifty yeah, only one out of every five players you're

964
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 2: going to play of action? No, correct. I'm want to

965
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 2: play Devil's advocate, and this will be my final question

966
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 2: of the day. But Devil's advocate here. I can just

967
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 2: hear you're talking about it's impossible to play a perfect

968
00:44:56,320 --> 00:45:02,280
Speaker 2: quarterback weekend week out. It's impossible to do so everyone.

969
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 2: I can just see the comments. But he's getting paid

970
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:08,240
Speaker 2: sixty million dollars a year. He's the highest paid NFL

971
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 2: quarterback in history, of highest paid player in NFL history,

972
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 2: all of the people there, And I'm not saying I

973
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 2: believe this because I think realistically, you know what the

974
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 2: quarterback position entails, and it's there's there's room for imperfection

975
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 2: and you can't do it all yourself. But what do

976
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,399
Speaker 2: you say to people like that that are saying, Hey,

977
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 2: the contract doesn't matter. He has to play perfect.

978
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 4: Football Mendoza line. Okay, think about it, and in terms

979
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,839
Speaker 4: of their baseball reference. Yeah, think in terms of Mendoza line.

980
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 2: Right.

981
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 4: The reason players like Ceedee Lamb get paid as they do,

982
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 4: justin Jefferson gets paid as he do as he does

983
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow in those guys Josh Allen's and Dak Prescott's

984
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 4: is because they more often than not play so consistently

985
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,879
Speaker 4: above the Mendoza line that their value dictates that they

986
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:58,720
Speaker 4: get compensated as such versus Ben Denucci and Matt Cassel

987
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 4: and who else right.

988
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 2: In the NEUCI catching stress, I.

989
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 4: Mean, you know, I'm just saying. But that being said,

990
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,800
Speaker 4: it's none of those players that I talked about this.

991
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 4: Josh Allen played perfect football every single.

992
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 2: Day, absolutely not right.

993
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 4: He led the league and turnover he said. I don't

994
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 4: know if he still does, but over the past three

995
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:19,320
Speaker 4: seasons or so.

996
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 5: But that wasn't on ESPN for four hour cycle.

997
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 6: That's a whole different story. But you're right.

998
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 4: So, josh Allen, does he play perfect football? Has he

999
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 4: ever had a perfect game?

1000
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 6: Never?

1001
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 2: Never? Not ever?

1002
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 4: Okay, Aaron Rodgers, but that's why he assumed joshna perfect game.

1003
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 4: But even Aaron Rodgers first future, first Battle of Hall

1004
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,720
Speaker 4: of Famer. Has he always played for perfect football?

1005
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 2: No?

1006
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 6: Even has it often?

1007
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 12: No?

1008
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 6: Okay, Troy when he plays the Cowboys, joh one.

1009
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 4: Of the most accurate quarterbacks in the history of the sport,

1010
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 4: one of the most decorated in the history of the sport.

1011
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 4: Has he did in his time with the Cowboys? Was

1012
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 4: he perfect? Weekend and week out? Now even half of

1013
00:46:58,520 --> 00:46:58,839
Speaker 4: the time?

1014
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 2: Was he perfect? No?

1015
00:46:59,840 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 8: No?

1016
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 4: Oh, it's mendoz in line. You pay those guys who

1017
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 4: are consistently in a certain air, but them being compensated

1018
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 4: as such doesn't suddenly magically make them perfect just because

1019
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 4: you pay them that amount, You see what I mean.

1020
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 4: So there are levels to this, and you pay for

1021
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 4: the levels. That's all I'm saying. Dak Prescott, he's an

1022
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:24,479
Speaker 4: MVP candidate last year, All Pro last year. He's shown

1023
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 4: you that he can be in this air in the

1024
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 4: regular season. Yeah, postseason is still.

1025
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Brandon Aubrey is still like that. That Yeah, that's

1026
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 2: for sure.

1027
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 7: Kirk Cousins has had a lot of big contracts, fully guaranteed,

1028
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 7: fully guaranteed, has he Ever, kirk Cousin has never had

1029
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 7: a perfect exactly my point.

1030
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, by the way, I think he needs to

1031
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 2: be more so in the MVP conversation with what he's

1032
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 2: doing right now. He has fourteen touchdowns in one interception.

1033
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 2: That's incredible. Ye, he's different, that's different, But just a

1034
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 2: sidebar to what we were talking about. He led the NFL

1035
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,360
Speaker 2: last year, the same kind of thing led the NFL

1036
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,439
Speaker 2: last year in turnover. It's just as Dak did two

1037
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 2: years ago. Turn around. Dak Prescott was second in MVP

1038
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 2: voting last year, had a phenomenal campaign, was one of

1039
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 2: the best quarterbacks in football in twenty twenty three, and

1040
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 2: then now it's kind of an up and down.

1041
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 4: That's where And I'm I won't even pretend to be

1042
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 4: naive and anything. I'm not naiven this. It's the timing

1043
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 4: and the optics. Yeah, right, Because if this contract didn't

1044
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 4: get done quite yet, if it doesn't get done until

1045
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 4: next offseason, then they're not talking about the fans are

1046
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 4: not talking about, Oh, well, he's the sixty million dollar guy.

1047
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,320
Speaker 4: He shouldn't be playing like this. The narrative would be different.

1048
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 4: It would be saying, well, he needs to play better

1049
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:39,280
Speaker 4: if he wants sixty million dollars.

1050
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay.

1051
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 4: But the fact that he got paid and then that

1052
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 4: time's up with the poor play, it's a perfect storm

1053
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 4: of ungreat things, Bob. So that's kind of where it is.

1054
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:55,320
Speaker 4: I My thing is because I've seen Dak Prescott cook

1055
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:58,320
Speaker 4: up in the regular season time and time again, I'm detached.

1056
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 4: That's what earned him the sixty Now you need to

1057
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:05,359
Speaker 4: work on justifying that this team and that you can

1058
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 4: make a postseason run. But as it stands, the Cowboys

1059
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 4: are playing for football, So right now you need to

1060
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 4: justify the ability to get in the postseason so that

1061
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 4: you can possibly make a run.

1062
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,959
Speaker 7: Twenty Yeah, I think a simple answer. As the market

1063
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 7: is the market, the quarterbacks are going to get paid.

1064
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:23,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, he'll be the seventh highest paid quarterback in two

1065
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 2: exactly exactly that.

1066
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 6: So like you, he brought you paid for to get.

1067
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,240
Speaker 2: His now, so you pay for what you need, I guess.

1068
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, and yeah, the money is the money, and

1069
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 7: that's another man's bag. I'm not going to have. That's

1070
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 7: none of my business, you know what I'm saying. Like

1071
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,240
Speaker 7: he got the money that he deserved because of the contract.

1072
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 4: That he is the football on the field, and right

1073
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,360
Speaker 4: now focusing on that, it's not Dak Prescott. Excuse me,

1074
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 4: Dak Prescott, and he knows it. He needs to play

1075
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 4: better football on the field, period, point blank.

1076
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 6: And let's go from there.

1077
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 2: That does it for us here on Talking Cowboys for

1078
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,600

Speaker 2: will preview the Dallas offense versus that Atlanta defense with

1083
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 2: a little QB vision in there as well. That does

1084
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 2: it for us. We'll see you tomorrow with more Talking Cowboys.
