00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: the game and DCC making the team be. Oh, okay,

24
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: we have my teammates will actually be on the show tonight.

25
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: Mickey Spagnola Brian brought us making their appearance on DCC

26
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: making the team. Mickey's a veteran at this, but this

27
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: was new, this was media training. Yeah, and Brian and

28
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: I were the professors. Wow, you know what I think

29
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: is gonna be interesting? So we sat over here, Yeah,

30
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: and the young lady sat over there. So we asked

31
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: the very difficult questions that we always do. I'll tell

32
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: you what was interesting. I think Mickey, just real quick,

33
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to go into this a whole lot,

34
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: but hey, you're famous, I need to hear more. No,

35
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: did do you think they're gonna they're gonna what part

36
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: do you think they're gonna use the one where we

37
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: were talking with Kelly and them afterwards or the actual interview,

38
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: because we were pretty well, I'm gonna we tend to

39
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: be pretty critical. I'm gonna think they used the parts

40
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: with the ones that made the team. Sure, right, hopefully,

41
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: because I mean it was all the rookies, Yes it was.

42
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: They all had a couple of selected veterans. There are

43
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: a couple of selected veterans. Yeah, there be bloopers at all.

44
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: Do we know that? No? Think and I were first takers.

45
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: Did you wear makeup at all? No? Okay? All natural?

46
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 1: The gals? Did they look like they're very pretty? All right? Well,

47
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: hopefully check it out to me. Let's say that side

48
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: of the table during the interview absolutely a lot better

49
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 1: than that side of the table does. Or I'll bet

50
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: it absolutely. I'll bet it did. And they didn't both

51
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: come with the same shirt side either, matching here. All right, guys.

52
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: The Cowboys had their first practice for the New York

53
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: Giants yesterday and on the Cowboys side of things, it

54
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 1: was actually a knock on wood, pretty healthy day for them,

55
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: you know, really, with the only limited guy being Jordan Lewis,

56
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: and Garrett said today he expects him to do a

57
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: little more, but I'm sorry fans don't get excited to

58
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: see him this Sunday. Yeah right, Brian, Yeah, I think so, Tay.

59
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: And you know, if you the only unhealthy person, I

60
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: guess this would be if you want to say Anthony

61
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: Hitching of course from fringe, but yeah, it was nice

62
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: to have Jordan Lewis back on the field yesterday. And

63
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: you know, we don't get a chance to watch him

64
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: completely practice. My guess is that he was probably doing

65
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: some stuff with a scout team, you know, and because

66
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: he's just working back in and what we've learned about

67
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: this team is they won't put these guys on the

68
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: field if they're they have to be completely healthy, which

69
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: we think he is and then be he's going to

70
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: need more practices before he even thinks about playing at

71
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: least a woozy A and Woods have practiced enough in

72
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: training camp and played in the blue white practice that

73
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: we had the other night to give you that ability

74
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: to say, Okay, were we think they're ready to go

75
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: play in this football game. I mean, he's got to

76
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: be a couple of weeks away, right, I'm gonna say

77
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: he's closer to I'm gonna say this week, and then

78
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: let's see where he's at next week. So one padded

79
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: practice and he's ready to go. Well, I'm thinking that

80
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: the whole week. Yeah, they got about playing in pad. Yeah,

81
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: but you know, if you think about him and his

82
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: scout teamwork, and that's where I'm taking that angle right

83
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 1: there with him. The scout teamwork he's getting. He's getting

84
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: eight snaps a seven on seven, he's getting eight snaps

85
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: of team period, he's getting eight snaps of blitz period,

86
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: he's getting sixteen snaps of play action period. So you

87
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: know he's easily I think he's practicing thirty forty plays.

88
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: So if you put that together with three four days

89
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: of work, then you know we'll see. I think it's

90
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: it's way encouraging. It helps to have been Wickery here,

91
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: Nickery Year, that's right. Apologize for butchering his name. He's there,

92
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: as Brian said, he's you know, he's a bridge for

93
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: these next couple weeks at least. Yes, still Lewis gets back.

94
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: A couple other good positive items there, tay Keith Smith

95
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: who was injured. They're starting fullback late in training camp,

96
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: full participant, and I don't see Ryan Switzer on this

97
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: injury report at all. So is that a sign he's

98
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: good to go Sunday? You would think so. I think fans,

99
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: you know, I saw a good tweet from somebody yesterday

100
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: and we were talking about the breakout players from your

101
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: poll and they said Ryan Switzer is my guy. So wow,

102
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: maybe we'll see it in the first game, but he's

103
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: got fifteen more after that to show him something that's right,

104
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: show him something in the return game, and maybe a

105
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: few snaps on offense. But I think it was good

106
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: to see, you know, Tyrone Crawford back in practice, and

107
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: that's as it lists them as full. By the way,

108
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,799
Speaker 1: it's not like he was limited after missing a month.

109
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: And the other guy that they were kind of regulating

110
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: was James Hannah and he was listed as full too,

111
00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: So that puts that tight end crew really together. But

112
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: more importantly though, you talked about Crawford, Yeah, that's you

113
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: know there there. Now. I don't know if Crawford is

114
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: going to start, but if he's part of the rotation,

115
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: you know, we've seen how they've played this. They've sweep

116
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: seen with with Lawrence and then Benson Mayawat went while

117
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: Crawford was out. Might be the way they go and

118
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: then you know, rotate Crawford in as need is the conditioning,

119
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: I know we always talk about that, you know, the

120
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: first game. You know, I think both sides are going

121
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: to have to figure out this conditioning. You know, because

122
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: you're not really at least these starters haven't played in

123
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: extensive work in preseason games, but they have practice, so

124
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: that's what you gotta. We spoke to him in the

125
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,559
Speaker 1: locker room a couple days ago. He said he wasn't

126
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: worried so much about conditioning. It was more rustiness getting

127
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: his pad level low, getting his technique back, because he

128
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: it's been like thirty days since he's practiced. So but

129
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: I would think both would account for it because a

130
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: lower body injury. There's no way he's been running like

131
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,119
Speaker 1: he normally does. Newly minted captain as well, that's right.

132
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: This will be his first season as a Dallas Cowboys

133
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: team captain. Not that that will make too much of

134
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: a difference before besides the coin toss. But I think

135
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: it's still calls it right when he's on the road.

136
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: When you're on the road, Jason, you're still the caller, right.

137
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: So you got a few new captains, by the way,

138
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: you never have me. Who's the other one, Well, it

139
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: would be Orlando Scanner, that's the one. And Dak Prescott.

140
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, where's your thirty two jersey? I could warn

141
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: it today. I have to give that back. Oh that's

142
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: too bad. I need to ask this question to the

143
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: guys that've been here the longest, because I don't know

144
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: this to be true. Has there ever been a second

145
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: year guy? Good job? Yeah as a captain? Come on, Mickey,

146
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: go through that rolodex brain. You have no idea. I

147
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: feel like Frederick was one. Maybe Frederick, but he last

148
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: year was his first year. I okay, it's about second

149
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: year in the league, right, Yeah, I'm talking about you know,

150
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: obviously no rookies, but a second year guy definitely makes

151
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: a difference because he is the quarterback, so the leadership

152
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: aspect there. But Wincy Carter, I'm trying to think of

153
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: those days. Yeah, Romo was in his fourth fifth year,

154
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: would have messed up the coin toss? No, but how

155
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: about Aikman? Then he would think Aikman maybe ninety would

156
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: have been his second year. Somebody tweet that to us

157
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: because that's an interesting way up. They don't really list that, dude.

158
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: We'll look into that one. That's a great question. I

159
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: just wander around the league. If that's the case, I

160
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:26,679
Speaker 1: know it's happened like someone like Jamis Winston exactly, Ben Roethlisberger.

161
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: I mean after his I mean, yeah, you get to

162
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: think of quarterbacks that that their first year amen had

163
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: a good presence. Is Carson Wentz a captain this year? Yeah?

164
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: There you go. Maybe we've got somebody from Philadelphia listening

165
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: to our show. We do. Apparently it's appointed weekly for

166
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Oh they change them. That's differing on the

167
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: game or who's active. I don't think Peterson doing that.

168
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: There a couple of teams like that. I wonder if so,

169
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: does the captain's really do anything other than walk out

170
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: for the coin toss? Why are you? Why are you?

171
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: Why are you? Minim? I'm just asking, No, no, I'm asking.

172
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: Do I think if you they have captain's meetings or something?

173
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 1: You know what I think? I think they're looked at

174
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: in if you have a player's only meeting, you know

175
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: when they if things go bad, right, or maybe things

176
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: are going good. Maybe you know, as a young player,

177
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: to me, a young player, I would lean on my

178
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: captain if there's a guy that maybe I'm having an issue,

179
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: maybe I don't quite understand why coach isn't playing me,

180
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: or maybe I'm trying to figure out waynut. Why am

181
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: I on the practice squad? You know, maybe you go

182
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: up to a captain and say, listen, you know you've

183
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: got experience. What do I need to learn here? Well,

184
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: I think Orlando Scandrick being named at captain goes into

185
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 1: exactly your narrative. You've said that he's had this offseason

186
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: as far as Hey, I realize my time is limited

187
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: here in the NFL. I'm going to help out some

188
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: of these guys. I'm going to be more of a

189
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: leader than I have been in past years. And him

190
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: being elected that shows that you're right in your point. Yeah,

191
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: I think that that to me, the captain is the

192
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: guy that if a young player wants to pull a

193
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: guy aside or ask a question without going to a coach.

194
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: I think that's where the captain's kind of play in.

195
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: Maybe a captain notices a young guy struggling, maybe see

196
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: you guys sitting in his locker, and you walk over

197
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: to him and say something such a point of pride. Also,

198
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: who's the point man on offense? Who calls the plays?

199
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: Dak Right, calls him out at the line of scrimmage.

200
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: Who's who's the point man on defense? Sean Lee? So

201
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: it's important, it's natural. Yeah, But I think Dan Bailey's

202
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: kind of the veteran guy that group. Do they get

203
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: a sea on their chest? Yep, like hockey, hockey and

204
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: and and it makes it's actually gold and so every

205
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: star you have gets filled in. So Wittens is hey

206
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: around his back? Was Odell Beckham junior captain last year?

207
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: Good question? Not sure, Kent? No, Apparently it's Eli Manning,

208
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: Jonathan Cassius and a linebacker zachd Aussie that's the snapper

209
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: of the Giants. Yeah. Three. Do they have captains in

210
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: the NBA? I'm not sure. I don't think they do.

211
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: Kareem's nickname was definitely the NHL. In the NHL, it's

212
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: a lot more. They don't have it in Major League Baseball?

213
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: Do they? I don't think so. I mean, I've never

214
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: seen it. Quick like now, Odell Beckham junior not a captain,

215
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: but he did not practice yesterday. Cowboys fans on their

216
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: hands patiently waiting, sure or what's gonna happen? Is they're

217
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: gonna play? Status? I don't. I have my doubts. Is

218
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: he gonna play if he doesn't practice today? I'm strong

219
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: doubts they're gonna play. I'm gonna say no, am I

220
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: the only ones gonna say yes, say yes. I think

221
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: they will, ye, they will prop him up and send

222
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: him out there. I could see that. But I think

223
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: Rob's a good point though. If Rob you know the

224
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: fact that yesterday everybody was quick to show video of him,

225
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: you know, running around in pre drills and stuff like that,

226
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: and oh, he looks like he's moving well. And then

227
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: you get to practice report and he's like a D

228
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: and P. Right, So if he dnps today, he ain't playing.

229
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: You get to Friday and it's, like you said, it's

230
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: a kind of a clean up day here. It's a

231
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: lighter practice anyway. So he's I have my doubts. I'm

232
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: my doubts there. I mean, you know what. To me,

233
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: I just kind of feel like that he's an unusual cat,

234
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: you know. And I'm not going to say he's not tough,

235
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 1: but I you know, I think he's one of those

236
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 1: guys that worries about himself more than he worries about

237
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: the team. You think they do a little something something

238
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: on Sunday and send him out there something something. What

239
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: does that mean? No, just give him a little something

240
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 1: to get him out there to play. You're saying to

241
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 1: take a shot and only do it once, so you

242
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: do it the day of the game. Yeah, I don't.

243
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean if I don't know if

244
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: he'll take a shot. If that's what you're saying, something

245
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: something I think he realizes, you know. I was hearing

246
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: some people that, oh, he'll just sit this game out,

247
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: but this is week one division game sening. Oh no,

248
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: you guys, I don't disagree that we ever get a

249
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: degree on his sprained ankle. Well, it wasn't a wasn't

250
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: a high speed. He basically passed out with pain in

251
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: the locker room, you know, and then he arose from pain, right, Lazarus. Yeah, yeah,

252
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: But to me, if he yeah, if he does, Lazarus,

253
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: if he doesn't, if he doesn't practice today, you know,

254
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: we'll see. I would be worried about it. Are you

255
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: thinking something long term? Here? Might be? Might be something

256
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: they're worried about. You try to go out trying to

257
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: win the war. You're trying to win the battle to

258
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: win the war. I don't like comparing Odell to dez Bryant,

259
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: and a lot of fans do it, and it's very

260
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: easy to do so because they both play with such

261
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: passion they're key members of their team's offenses, but he does.

262
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: In this instance, the way that he's handling his injury

263
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: reminds me similar of how Dez has handled injuries in

264
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: the past, like hey, don't count me out, you know,

265
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: and then just sure you can be right because the

266
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: player does not decide if they can play or not.

267
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: I want that. No, that's absolutely true. That's player never

268
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: makes that decision. It really comes down to the medical staff.

269
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: And so these players want to play. Sure it is

270
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: a long season. He's their guy, and if it's a

271
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: thing with an ankle where it could be a lingering deal,

272
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 1: then maybe they feel like he needs another weak arrest.

273
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: We'll find out. I thought about his knee when he

274
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: first happened. Bad look real bad? Is Jack Rabbit? Play

275
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: it Facebook us? Who Jack Rabbit is? Mackey? That was

276
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: kind of an interesting thing at Jen's press converts. That

277
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: just ruined your morning. You were sitting next to the

278
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: guy too. It was just so flippid. Tell everyone listening

279
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: the story that you're talking about. Jason Garrett got asked

280
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: by I guess he was from the New York Post,

281
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: think the New York Post, and he wanted to find

282
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: out if Jenorris Jenkins how Dez was gonna deal with

283
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: Jenorris Jenkins covering him, and he goes, so, how's Dad's

284
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: gonna do with Jack Rabbit? Who are you? And that's

285
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: basically what Jason said, Jack Rabbit. Now as if everyone

286
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: knows that nickname, I'll tell you what I think the guy.

287
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: It's a bit. I think the guy we want to

288
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: bet you got. The post said, listen, you ask a

289
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: Jack Rabbit question. I mean you got lunch for Norris Jenkins,

290
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: great player. That's not a Megatron nickname where everybody kind

291
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: of knows it, you know, that's kind of a Dave

292
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: Hellman said that next week on the Converence Call, he'll

293
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: ask Advanced Joseph if he's gonna how he's planning for

294
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: DJ duffel bag. Yeah. Let's see if Dave actually follows

295
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: through with his word and does that, because I'm sure

296
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: the advance Joseph will be like, no, yeah, we don't

297
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: have musicians on the field. That might have been Jason's

298
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: greatest answer ever. Well, he looked at him, I looked

299
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: at when the question was asked. I looked at Garrett

300
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: and he kind of like, kind of like gave it

301
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: that kind of that what are you asking there? I

302
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: think it was Seriously, we'll see, Hey, we're talking about

303
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior and his injury and where the degree

304
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: is and somebody who scared the Giants early on in

305
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: training camp with Sterling Shepherd the wide receivers in his

306
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: second year, he was a contributor for them. Last year.

307
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: He actually had his first touchdown in Week one against

308
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. How is Scandrick, newly minted captain Orlando Scandrick

309
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: going to play against Sterling Shepherd this weekend? Got that Mickey, Well,

310
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: do they put him in the slaughter or they put

311
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: O'Dell Beckham in this? That they put Shepherd? They put

312
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: Shepherd in this normally. Normally that's where he does most

313
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: Where did Beckham kill him last year? Wasn't it out

314
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: us slot? It was out of the slot on the

315
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: one play. Yet when he got he got lost or

316
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys got lost. They drafted Shepherd to kind of

317
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: be there. Beasley a guy work in the middle of

318
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: the field, slot type guy, more quicker than fast, you know,

319
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: and in Orlando has done a nice job. He's the

320
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: two games that he played last year against the Cowboys.

321
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: He was only targeted four times in each game, which

322
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: with the lowest numbers he's had. So that gives you

323
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of a little hope that you know,

324
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: it's Scandrick. Scandrick's healthy. I think that's the most important thing. Yeah, exactly.

325
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: And you know he'll have a chip on his shoulder,

326
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: There's no doubt. We always say that about him. He'll

327
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: have a chip on his shoulder. He always wants to

328
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: try and prove people wrong. You know, this is a

329
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: year he's really gonna push now for to try and

330
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: make a Pro Bowl. He's what ten seasons in ye. Yeah,

331
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: so you know he's got it. He's he even said it.

332
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: You know, he's got to figure out, you know, how

333
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: to do this, and I think he has. And so

334
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: the health is there, you know, the opportunity to cover

335
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: a guy like Shepherd, and especially if you know, if

336
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: if Odell doesn't play, then it's to come down to

337
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: Shepherd and it's gonna come down to Marshall plus the

338
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: tight end Ingram. You know, those are the three you're

339
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 1: gonna have to worry about if there's no Beckham in

340
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: this game. So yeah, it'll be a good matchup yeah,

341
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: and and and can Orlando keep him in check? That's

342
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: gonna be that's gonna be a key to this game. Well,

343
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: who's their next wide receiver, their next wide receiver out

344
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: of which side? Just whoever? Roger Lewis would start. Probably

345
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: it would be Marshall, No, Marshall would play, and Shepherd

346
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 1: and then Roger Lewis would yea, they have three, yeah exactly,

347
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: so start three. Yeah, Tavarus King is also on their roster. Yeah,

348
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: so yeah, it would be Roger Lewis would be the guy.

349
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: He's number eighteen, So yeah, it's to me, it's it's

350
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: gonna be key. Yeah. If he doesn't play, you know,

351
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: if you're a Cowboy fan, you should be grateful for that.

352
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: You know, Dwayne Harris, they wouldn't put him in there

353
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: starting wide receiver. I don't think so. Special teams man. Yeah, Hey,

354
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are very excited because Jason Witten did sign

355
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: an extension in the offseason. He's entering his fifty season

356
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL. But you can't forget that. Eli Manning

357
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: is also entering his fourteenth year in the NFL. Never

358
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: missed a game for the Giants. Amazing, How is he

359
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: going to fare in this opening game fourteenth year. You

360
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: know what. To me, we talk about their skill position guys,

361
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: and they have great ones. They had a Brandon Marshall,

362
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: Evan Ingraham, We've talked about him a little bit, the

363
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: rookie tight end, But to me, it starts up front

364
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: for them and can they protect him and can they

365
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: run the football because one thing they didn't do in

366
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: the offseason was really upgrade or change their offensive line.

367
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: They've got two young tackles, Eric Flowers and Bobby Hart,

368
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: and when you read about them up north, I mean

369
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: that's the talk is how can this offensive line protect

370
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: Eli and how can they run the ball? They were

371
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: twenty ninth in rushing last year, so can Paul Perkins

372
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 1: put Eli in good situations down in distance? Yeah, they're

373
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: one of the worst teams in the league when it

374
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: comes to running for four yards to carry. That's kind

375
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: of your benchmark. They were darn near. I think they

376
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 1: were twenty seventh or twenty six in the league when

377
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: it came to running the ball for four plus yards,

378
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: where the Cowboys were one of the best. You know,

379
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: with Zeke and the way he's able to do it,

380
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: it's a problem for the Giants. They don't have much

381
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: balance there and it affects him on other downs too,

382
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: when they get in trouble on second down. They're one

383
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: of the worst teams in the league when it comes

384
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: to converting second downs to first downs, and then and

385
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: then it subsequently it puts him in bad shape and

386
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: third downs, which is another a little bit more of

387
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: a problem for them. So yeah, they, like Rob says,

388
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: they haven't done anything with their offensive line. You know,

389
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: with Manning, it's not about the sacks we talked about.

390
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: He was the third least sacked quarterback in the league

391
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: last year. Pressure that's where pressure. The pressure is the

392
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: what it causes him the problem when you blitz him,

393
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 1: rush him. He's a seventy five percent rated passer that way,

394
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: so you got to find ways to get to him,

395
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: force him to make throws. When you blitz him, he

396
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: tends to have even more problems. So, you know, we

397
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: have to keep an eye on how is the Cowboys

398
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: rush going to be able to affect him if at all,

399
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: don't focus on the sacks, focus on the pressure. Hey,

400
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,719
Speaker 1: they would have finished thirtieth last year in rushing if

401
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 1: it wasn't for their last possession against the Cowboys in

402
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: the first game, if you remember when they basically almost

403
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: ran out the clock and rushed for fifty yards right

404
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: in the game. So they didn't run the ball well

405
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: the whole game, right, and then it got to the

406
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: point where you needed to stop them and they couldn't.

407
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: End up got like two or three first downs and

408
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: drain the clock, which caused Terence Williamstut to get out

409
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: of bounds. Yeah time, Terrence, don't do that this weekend, Terence.

410
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: Keep keep an eye, keep an eye. Hey, we'll be

00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: if your scouts and coaches are listening out there a

456
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: word of advice. Pick the man with the most well

457
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 1: worn stetson. That's the one most cut out to be

458

Speaker 1: all those listening, and especially appreciate just Senya because she

473
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,719
Speaker 1: tweeted at us cleared up some confusion about the captain situation.

474
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: She said, the NFL began to allow teams to actually

475
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 1: announce team captains beginning in two thousand and seven. So

476
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: there we go, there we go, all there, we'll just

477
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: have to they just let whoever wanted to go out

478
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: and call the toss I'll go out, go ahead, walk,

479
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: I think you know a neat thing in real quick.

480
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: We move on from this captain talks. I know it's gettything.

481
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 1: The Titans did an honorary captain of a man who's

482
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: suffering from als. So yeah, very special there. They said.

483
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: You know, obviously he's a huge inspiration for the team.

484
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: So hats off to you Titans. But Brian, did you notice?

485
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: But no further, you can say one more thing about it.

486
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: You're going to did you notice that? A lot of

487
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: times Romo would not walk out there for the coins,

488
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: and one day I asked him, I said, what's the deal? Yeah,

489
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: he goes, you know, I got things on my mind.

490
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,239
Speaker 1: I don't want to walk out there and act like

491
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,479
Speaker 1: I'm old buddy buddy with these guys shaking hands. He goes,

492
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk to anybody. Let's play the game.

493
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 1: You can't know and it's sketchers. But Brian, let's play

494
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: the game. Sketchers ask sketchers. I like that. Here we go,

495
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: just for the for the panel. Anybody can answer these questions.

496
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,719
Speaker 1: I won't make him individuals. We don't have to hit

497
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: a button. We don't have to First of Mickey, But

498
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 1: you can answer the first one if you want behind

499
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: the scene player that will make the biggest difference in

500
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: this game. Behind the scene player, I think I have one.

501
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 1: Go go for it if you you hit your button first. Yep,

502
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: I did, And I'm gonna tell you a hint and

503
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't give it away. His last name is Smith,

504
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: not Tyring, not Keith, not Jalen, but the brother Rob Smith. Wow,

505
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: there you go. I think he's a behind the scenes

506
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: player that will have a few impact games this year,

507
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: and I think The Giants Week one will be one

508
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: of them. There's a lot on the Smith brothers. I

509
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys knew this, but they're the

510
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: thirty fifth brother duo to be on an active roster.

511
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 1: Very nice. So wow, hey Rod Smith, Rod Smith, I'll

512
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: like it. Specialty going to be active. Yeah, I think

513
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 1: you will. I think you. I think Rod Smith might even.

514
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: I think Rod Smith maybe if he's actively the kickoff returner,

515
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: some kickoff return special teams, maybe even get some carries.

516
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: Come on, Smith, Yeah, come on our Smith. You gotta

517
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: go sitting. We'll get the actress on Friday. Yeah, that's

518
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: the game. Who's your behind this behind the scenes guy.

519
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: Does Anthony Brown count behind this? He's not a starter? Yeah,

520
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown? Why why? Well he will start well because

521
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: they started. I just think that he has been the

522
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: forgotten guy in the secondary. Everybody's so fired up about

523
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: all the young guys. Well, he's one of the young guys.

524
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: I'm excited for Anthony Brown. I'll go James Hannah blocking

525
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: for that run game. They didn't have him in both

526
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: games last year, and I think their total run yardage was, like,

527
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: you know, less than two hundred yards in two games.

528
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 1: So he's an underrated part of that group. And he's

529
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: on the injury report, but he's practicing fully, so need him.

530
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: He's probably super hungry to play right now too. I mean,

531
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 1: Brian we saw him last year. It was every day

532
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: he was out there doing rehab and just trying to

533
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: get back there. Start Sunday. Yeah, I'm gonna go with

534
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: the guy. I'm gonna go with the new guys. I'm

535
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: gonna go with Brian Price. That the defensive tackle. I

536
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: think with him and rotating with Stephen Paya, I think

537
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: we're going to see some things from him. So I

538
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: would say that maybe a behind the scenes guy that

539
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 1: not many people know about get an opportunity to show

540
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:17,199
Speaker 1: to shine opening day. Guys worry more about Odell Beckham

541
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: in as if he plays. Worry more about Odell Beckham

542
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: or Landing Collins. Saw both of them at the Pro

543
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: Bowl last year, so they're both legit. I'm always worried

544
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: about Beckham if he plays. I just he's a game breaker.

545
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: We've seen it most every time he plays the Cowboys,

546
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: he makes a big play that leads to a touchdown

547
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: or is a touchdown. But that's Collins is clearly one

548
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: of the best defensive players in the league. Yeah. A

549
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: funny story about Landing Collins when he was at the

550
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. He's very nice to everyone and we're talking

551
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: and I said, where were you picked in the draft? Again?

552
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: He was picked below Byron Jones. Yeah, second round. He

553
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: was second round. Yeah, second round. And so said, oh,

554
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: did you ever think about coming to the Cowboys? And

555
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: he said, I would have loved to. But after that

556
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: Byron Jones pick, I didn't think I was going that way.

557
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: You're going you're going back. I'm Beckham. Okay, Yeah, If

558
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior plays, that's gonna be besides Ezekiel Elliott.

559
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 1: That's gonna be where all the cameras are. If he's

560
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 1: gimped up a little bit and not exactly pick on him.

561
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 1: I think that I think that that maybe that you

562
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: could find a way to cover him if he's if

563
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: he's limping around and having to deal with that, Landing

564
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: Collins can ruin your game. Why because he could cover,

565
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: He could take your tight end out of the game.

566
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: He could play in the slot. He's the eighth guy

567
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: in the running game too. If the Giants get hat

568
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: on hat if you play hat on hat it and

569
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: you don't account for him, he will make every single

570
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: tackle within the four yard line box. You know who

571
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: is always thought of Landing Collins as a nemesis, Dak Prescott.

572
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: Back in the alabam Alabama days, Landing Collins had Dak's number. Yeah,

573
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: he got him in interceptions a few times. Here's speaking

574
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,959
Speaker 1: of Dak. Press got Dak Prescott. Question. Dak Prescott average

575
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: four point seven five four point seven five yards per

576
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: attempt in his two games against the Giants last year.

577
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: That was the worst that he had or any any

578
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: team any game. What does you think what do you

579
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: think his yards per attempt will be? For this game,

580
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: give me a number. I think it will rise, but

581
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: I think the same matchups present themselves, So I'll say six.

582
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: You've been talking about this the whole time, that the

583
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: Cowboys struggled to get open on this. Well, yeah, and

584
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: I know the first game, the narrative was, well, they

585
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: kind of dumbed down the game plan because it was

586
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: his first four right, basically had a lot of catches underneath.

587
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: But you watch that second game in particular, and there

588
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: just wasn't a lot of open receivers. And so will

589
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: it alarm you if I tell you that Dak passed

590
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: for more yards than Eli Manning and both it combined

591
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: in both games. I'm just saying, I'm at the crow'

592
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: I know many get out. Man he was terrible, There's

593
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. And and the Cowboys in that

594
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: opening game kept the ball for thirty six minutes. Six

595
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: minutes they kicked field goals from the five and the seven.

596
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: Four point seven. Low. Woah, that was the lowest. That

597
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: was the low that was His average for two games

598
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: was high, farriss. I believe at eleven nine his highest.

599
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: One says a lot about the quality of that defense.

600
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: It really does what did you say a lot about

601
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback starting his first game in the National

602
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: Football I just pointed out that that was a factor. Yeah,

603
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: that second game. Neither quarter or not, neither offense was

604
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: any good that day. Fine, but it wasn't snowing either.

605
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: That don't blame the weather. Why did so? The Cowboys

606
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: big tough defense held the Giants to two hundred and six. Yeah,

607
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: I think right, Yeah, there were eight there were eight

608
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: of fifteen. I think the Giants had fifteen possessions, and

609
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: eight of them went eight or three three and out.

610
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: Both teams finished with two hundred and sixty yards. One

611
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: team went one for fifteen on third down. That was

612
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, and the Giants went two for fourteen. Throw

613
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: a number at me, at for what back? Prescott yard

614
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: per tempt again the seven. He's gonna go over seven.

615
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: Tell you got a number eight point two. There we go, Robert.

616
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: It's impossible not to give the Giants credit, though their

617
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: defense for what they did. Okay, and so the Cowboys

618
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: defense was every bit as good. I'm not even talking

619
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: about we're not talking about the Cowboys defense. We're talking

620
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: about what the Giants did. Still had three hundred and

621
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,719
Speaker 1: twenty eight total yards now scored six points. Yeah, with

622
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback playing his first game and a rookie

623
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: running back who had touched the ball every season maybe

624
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: four times game. Well, what about what about the bird

625
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: we're talking about the December game. Well, I'm talking about

626
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: the first game. We've been talking. It's time for Mickey's minute.

627
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: Thank you. Basically speaking of bad quarterback play. How many

628
00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: times will the defense intercept Eli Manning in this game? Wow?

629
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: Good question? Um, Well, in the second game, since we

630
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: were talking, the second game in their division twice, right,

631
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: more than two? I'll say they get a pick, get

632
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: one or two? I got two two one from Jeffy

633
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: one Orlando scan director. They'll both be Jeff Heathes. I'll

634
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: tell you what I'm gonna go with two as well.

635
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: I think you find a way to pressure him, may

636
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,959
Speaker 1: you know, get get some rush home on him, you know,

637
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: to make him, make him have to cough the ball up.

638
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: He'll do that for you. Speaking to that, guys, Cowboys

639
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: best passcu Cowboys best pressure will come from this player.

640
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: Marcus Lawrence. I'll say, Benson Mayowa, No, Malee Collins, middle rush,

641
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: middle rush, not edge rush middle rush. Yeah, Malik sayd

642
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: you say you said Lawrence? I said Lawrence, Mallie Collins,

643
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: what about you take? I think it's old Benson Mayo

644
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: part is all right, gonna come out here with the

645
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: rush and ready to go and say, hey, I've heard

646
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: you guys here. I am. I like what I like

647
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: with the I like with the I like the uh

648
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: the Collins one myself. I like them attack in the middle.

649
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been the best as much as bad

650
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: as Flowers has played for them. The middle pressure is

651
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: what gives him the most problems. So I'm gonna say

652
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: that I have to put another hat on and bow

653
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: out right now. All right, Audio, Stephen Jones just showed

654
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: up for they don't brag about it weekly interviews. All right,

655
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: you go do your job. Well, we'll take care of

656
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: Papa John's back as we As we continue on, let's

657
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: go with the Gang of three. The New York Giants

658
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: will struggle with this player. Defensively. New York Giants will

659
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: struggle with this Oh, I got a good one. I

660
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be old Jeff Heath. I think Jeff

661
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: Eath is coming in no Defensively, defensively Giants defense. The

662
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: Giants defense will struggle with this cowboy's offensive player. I'm sorry,

663
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, my bad, poorly formed question there. The New

664
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: York Giants will struggle with this player defense. Okay, I

665
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: actually I see what you're saying that they meant there, yea,

666
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:13,280
Speaker 1: what cowboy offensive player. I'll go Beasley. He was super

667
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: productive in the two games. He's Dak's safety blanket. I

668
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: think he will have some opportunities underneath work in the

669
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: middle of the field. I think Jason Winton, you know,

670
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: he only needs seventeen yards to surpass Michael Irving for

671
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 1: the team's all time receiving yards. It's I mean, yeah,

672
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: he's been here fifteen years, but it's very very goat

673
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 1: like surprised neither nobody went with and we know what

674
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: the front seven is for the Giants. I'm surprised nobody

675
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: went with Ezekiel Elliott. Well he right, just have him

676
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: been preparing for him to be in this game? My

677
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: mind is your mind. You're not thinking about him being

678
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: in the game. I'm still wrapping my head around it.

679
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: I won't see it until he comes out wearing the

680
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 1: crop top. Does the whole water spewing thing that Kent

681
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: Get so beautifully makes a wonderful gift out of. It's

682
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: just then I'll be like, oh, this is real. Yeah.

683
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,280
Speaker 1: And at the risk of sounding like Mickey he uh,

684
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: you know, he was playing his first NFL game that

685
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: first game when you have I think he averaged like

686
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: two points six yards of carry. Yeah. I think he

687
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: was feeling his way through this offensive scheme and he

688
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: ran better in the second game. I think the hatch

689
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: on yeah, yeah, I think you'll have a better game

690
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: this time around. The game that Ezek Elliott stood out

691
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: to me so much last year was the Bears. You know,

692
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: you had the hurdling and that was really I felt like, yeah,

693
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 1: he did great. He did a good job in the

694
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: San Francisco game, but that Bears game felt like a

695
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: big come out game for him, and so to see that,

696
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: I think maybe maybe Tay two and Rob. The tough

697
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 1: defense game was Pittsburgh. If you think about a team

698
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 1: that you know, being having to be physical, having to finish,

699
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: meaning he catches the screen the way he finished the

700
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 1: runs and stuff, They're going to need him to finish

701
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 1: in this game. They really are going to need him

702
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: to finish in this game. Maybe with that type of

703
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: pressure that the Giants can get, maybe that screen game

704
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: is part of this deal. Well, yeah, that's something that

705
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 1: they've kind of gone to. The Cowboys have gone to

706
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,760
Speaker 1: more of a how you handle blitz. You handle blitz

707
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 1: by getting the ball out quick, taking advantage of Beasley,

708
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 1: taking advantage of of you know, of anybody like Williams, anybody,

709
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: they can get the ball too quickly and let them

710
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 1: have blockers in front and go. Well you said earlier,

711
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: and we don't have to get into this too much.

712
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: That Orlando Scandrick will be playing with the chip on

713
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 1: his shoulder. Yeah, Zeke's gonna be playing with the chip. Yeah,

714
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 1: that's that's why I was kind of question was especially

715
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: if he's thinking this might be his only game. Sorry, yeah, no,

716
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: I no, absolutely, I was thinking that to me, that

717
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: he's a guy that you know, he could have the

718
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: bit between his teeth. Last year that they took two

719
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 1: l's against the Giants, you can't afford you know, Luckily

720
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: had never lost a game, but her to that, Yeah,

721
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. I mean, that's it's crazy to

722
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: think that way, but yeah, absolutely, this I just feel

723
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: like though that he is one of those guys that

724
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,919
Speaker 1: they're going to ride in this football game. It's gonna

725
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: because set it's because set things up, other things up

726
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: in the passing game to hopefully help them. Maybe landing

727
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:03,439
Speaker 1: Collins doesn't hurt him. Maybe you know the Kramardi doesn't

728
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 1: hurt you in the passing game. So yeah, and then

729
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: I hope that McAdoo admits that it does matter. Oh sure,

730
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: what running back it's playing. Absolutely no, we all know

731
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: that's just coach speak. But we'll go ahead and take

778
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 1: you guys want to know what makes Papa John so great?

779
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 1: What Robert? It's the ingredients, the veggie's fresh, never frozen.

780
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: I thought that pork could be one hundred percent certified.

781
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: Proud Brian at it who better ingredients, better pizza, Papa John's.

782
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 1: I'll be ordering mine watching the game. I think it's

783
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: a good excuse, absolute cheat day Thursdays. We'll get up

784
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 1: at five thirty going running right. Yeah, we're in the

785
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: final segment of Talking Cowboys here in the SWBC Mortgage studio,

786
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: and you know, before we get of the callers, you

787
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: guys are there and we're going to get to you,

788
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: but we have to get to the pole because I

789
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 1: think it's going to cause some interesting conversation. Fortunately, Mickey

790
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: is not here with us right now, but he doesn't

791
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: have a riding. He doesn't have a riding. That's okay,

792
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 1: I'm perfectly fine with that. You mentioned Ben mcadoo's comment about, hey,

793
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: if there's nowhere to run, it doesn't matter who the

794
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: running back is, and I think his point was probably, Hey,

795
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: the Giants have to prepare for anybody and just have

796
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: a good sound run defense no matter who's in there. However,

797
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: good pole idea. How many rushing yards do you expect

798
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: the Cowboys to have Sunday versus the Giants? You got

799
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: three options between fifty and one hundred one hundred to

800
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: one fifty or over one fifty. Now keep in mind

801
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: I think it's like under two hundred for two games.

802
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,240
Speaker 1: Oh no, I know. Yeah, it's incredible what the Giants

803
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: do defensively. They don't give you a they don't give

804
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: you much space. I'm assuming that most people voted that middle.

805
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: They did sixty four percent between one hundred and one

806
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 1: to fifty. That's a nice safe guess. Yeah, you know,

807
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 1: actually was Zeke in there. Yeah, I just think that

808
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are going to have to find a way

809
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: to win on first down. And winning on first down

810
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys offensively, is Ezekiel Elliott carrying the football?

811
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: You know, we might see him get into a lot

812
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: of what we call thirteen personnel, you know, with the

813
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: three tight ends now that they're all back to You

814
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 1: talked about that, Rob. I think you talked about James

815
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: Hannah as being that under the radar type of guy

816
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,800
Speaker 1: that's coming back that it's going to be a difference maker.

817
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,240
Speaker 1: I would not be one bit surprised if the Cowboys

818
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: try and balance and balance the Giants out and say, okay,

819
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: we'll play thirteen personnel and let Ezekiel get hat on

820
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: hat We've talked about that. The success that they were

821
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: able to have against the Giants in that game at

822
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 1: the Meadowlands was the ball was going to the outside.

823
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 1: They were able to get the guards in the centers outside,

824
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: and they were able to block on space. They made

825
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,760
Speaker 1: Apple the corner have to defend. They made j Norris Jenkins,

826
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 1: who's not a bad run defend, made him have to defend.

827
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that. To me, it's it's gonna

828
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: be about them winning on first down. Dallas can't afford

829
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: to get in situations where it's second and nine, second

830
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: and ten, second and eleven. Not that you're gonna have

831
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 1: many negative plays with Zeke, but you can't be in

832
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: a situation where Dak Prescott's having to make throws on

833
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: second and nine, second and eight maybe even right there,

834
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: especially if the receivers aren't finding ways to get open.

835
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: There were a ton of those down and distance problems

836
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 1: in the first game. Dak played right the opener last year,

837
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: and a lot of a lot of like you said,

838
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,359
Speaker 1: second and eight, third and nine, third and ten, third

839
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: and eleven, that's tough for a young quarterback. Yeah, it is.

840
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 1: It is. Well, let's get to the callers. We have

841
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: Johnny in Salt Lake City on the line. Johnny, what's

842
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: your question? Hey guys, I just wanted to ask you,

843
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:47,720
Speaker 1: how concerned are you guys about the secondary going into

844
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,919
Speaker 1: this game? Me personally? I mean, I know you said

845
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: Norland Carroll is kind of like a Brandon Clark, but

846
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: I never really liked the kid. I'll I remember was

847
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: Dez Bryant beating this kid like a year and year

848
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,320
Speaker 1: and year out. So other than that, the rookies not

849
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 1: playing because they're injured, and then the Cowboys, even though

850
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: it's a low investment having a goal, get a guy

851
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,959
Speaker 1: like Benet. So I just wanted to hear you guys

852
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: take on that. Thanks, good questions. The guy that the

853
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: guy that it wasn't Nolan Carroll, is it Bradley Fletcher?

854
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 1: There was the one that does Brant always torched? Well,

855
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: I think he might be referring I don't want to

856
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: speak in the last game. That mean, yeah, Terrence Williams,

857
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: Well the last game, well he was talking about Dez Bryan.

858
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: I think yeah he meant. I think he might have

859
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: meant Terrence Williams because Terrence Williams touchdowns that he had

860
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: the very last game. Yeah, yeah, Nolan Carroll gave up

861
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: the one touchdown. I know that. But I know that

862
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,720
Speaker 1: Bradley Fletcher was a bad player for the Philadelphia Eagles,

863
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: and I think people get Nolan Carroll and Bradley Fletcher.

864
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. It's still the same number, twenty two

865
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: and twenty four. I think we're the two numbers. So yeah, absolutely,

866
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: but yes, yeah, worry about the secondary. I think you

867
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 1: worry about the secondary and if if it comes down to, okay,

868
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 1: how are you going to defend Evan Ingram? This is

869
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 1: where this is where I think this game. I think

870
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 1: when you know, if it's Beckham and he's nicked, you know,

871
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: keep an eye on that Shepherd. You feel like that

872
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: maybe with Scandrick he got an opportunity there. The third

873
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: guy playing is gonna be Anthony Brown. You know you

874
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: feel pretty good about Anthony Brown. Talk about him, No,

875
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: he talks about but he's not. If it's Anthon, it's

876
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: if it's against brand if it's against Marshall, then that's

877
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: you know, that's your matchup. So now what about Byron Jones?

878
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: What's obscene? How is that against Evan Ingram? But is it?

879
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: Is it? Do you keep him deep to help with

880
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 1: the over the over the field downfield stuff, or do

881
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,280
Speaker 1: you play him near the line to prevent the crossing stuff.

882
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 1: This is gonna come down to a woozy And now

883
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 1: if you, yeah, if you don't feel comfortable about a

884
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 1: woozier played in this game, then you should have some concerns.

885
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 1: You should, absolutely because they're gonna find a way to

886
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: have to play that. He's gonna have to match up,

887
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 1: whether it's whether it's put Byron Jones down or maybe

888
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: they mix that up. Maybe they play Byron Jones down

889
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: against Ingram, sometimes play him back, then put a Woozier

890
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: in there, play some of their dime stuff. The chess

891
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: game is going to be big in this one. But

892
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: if you it's veteran guys, it's veteran guys. But you're

893
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 1: gonna put rookie on rookie and see how it goes.

894
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,879
Speaker 1: Coach Marinelli, I just feel like I would ask him

895
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: these questions. He would tell me one line, Oh, it's

896
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 1: all figured out. Guys, got this, we got it, we

897
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: got it. You know what do you think you would say, Kent?

898
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: What would Coach Marinelli? I guess you guys are talking

899
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: to the coordinators today. Need to be more consistent, you know,

900
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: get after it, stay solid, aggressive, you more consistent. What

901
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 1: about playing a rookie coach? How do you feel about

902
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,839
Speaker 1: playing a rookie there? Oh, he'll get opportunity. Gotta get

903
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: in there and get reps. Opportunity, and the opportunity is priceless,

904
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: solid a chance to get better every day. Yeah, a

905
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: chance to get better. Dylan Smith, A lot of Twitter

906
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: questions are coming in right now. What can people expect

907
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: his role to really be? I know he'll primarily be

908
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: sharing the starting role with Durant, but how will he fare? Yeah,

909
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of of a snap count for

910
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: and we kind of talked about that yesterday. I don't

911
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 1: think he's going to be a sixty snap guy. Justin

912
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 1: Durant's a guy that he's missed some time, but he's

913
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:10,800
Speaker 1: a veteran. He says he'll be ready. I think with Jalen,

914
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 1: maybe you see him play between twenty and thirty snaps

915
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 1: in this game. That fair. I would think that maybe

916
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: that you would me personally. I think they're getting him

917
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,320
Speaker 1: ready to play an extensive amount a lot. I do, Okay,

918
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 1: I think they're getting him now. I always say this,

919
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,479
Speaker 1: think of him and Justin Durant as one player who

920
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: is the one player though that's taken the most practice reps,

921
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:37,240
Speaker 1: who is the one player that's played in games. Yeah.

922
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: So to me, the options are, do you play a

923
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 1: guy that the veteran guy who might not be in

924
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: football condition Yeah? I mean he's in he's in conditioning

925
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 1: as far as running and stuff like that, but the

926
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 1: one thing that he hasn't done is practice extensively. I

927
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 1: think they're I think that they're I think they're gonna

928
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: cut Jalen Smith loose on this one. I really really

929
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 1: do everyone getting cited. How do you think you'll do? Though?

930
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I think the health tay is

931
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: going to be fine. I don't worry about the conditioning.

932
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: We've talked about this a bunch, the mental side of it,

933
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 1: and the mental I don't mean being a dumb guy.

934
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 1: I mean play with your eyes. See. The one problem

935
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: he has is overaggressiveness. Be calm with the way you

936
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: attack the giants, and like he's like he's too hyped

937
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: because he's in there, and yeah and overun he overruns plays. Yeah,

938
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,879
Speaker 1: and and so yeah, I don't feel like that the

939
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 1: drops are going to be a problem or the lateral stuff.

940
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 1: I just I just don't want him to be overly

941
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: hyped in there and all of a sudden think that

942
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: he has to make every single tackle. You're playing next

943
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,879
Speaker 1: to Shawn Lee. Likely in the nickel Sean Lee will

944
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,320
Speaker 1: make every single tackle if you just do your job,

945
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 1: be a good support player, find a way to to

946
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:52,839
Speaker 1: to whatever they need you to do. Be that guy.

947
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 1: Don't go out and wear the red cape day one.

948
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 1: You know he's already got the cape on. If you

949
00:47:57,800 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: think about what he's been through. You know, I met this.

950
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 1: I was totally wrong about the guy. But don't go

951
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 1: out and be a hero. Go out play your assignment

952
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: player keys. Don't overrun plays. That's the biggest problem. If

953
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:12,879
Speaker 1: the Giants make plays in the running game, or make

954
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 1: any type of really offensive play, it will be him

955
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: overrunning and missing a tackle. It's a great point, like,

956
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 1: I can't blame him for being overhyped for this game

957
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:23,720
Speaker 1: if that's what happens. I mean, he's gonna have family

958
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 1: there he's been I mean, this is a moment he

959
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 1: thought I don't know if he thought it, but a

960
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: lot of people thought he'd never have right. I am

961
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: very excited at him. Now. We've talked a lot about

962
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 1: the defense, but I feel like we'd be remiss if

963
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: we do not mention what fans can look for in

964
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: Taco Charlton. Yeah, this weekend, the first round draft pick

965
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: defensive end will be playing his first regular season game.

966
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,720
Speaker 1: How do you guys expect him to be out there?

967
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 1: You know, where is he going to play? What is

968
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 1: his role really going to be? I would see him

969
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: working into that defensive end rotation. He's been on the

970
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: right side, He's played some left side. Maybe he works

971
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 1: in after Mayo. With Mayo was ready to go and

972
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 1: he's healthy, Maybe he's he's part of that group that

973
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: comes in. Maybe in nickel situations too. We've seen him

974
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: there too. I would expect him to get plenty of

975
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 1: reps to in this game. Yeah, I don't disagree at all.

976
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 1: I think the rotation it's gonna be about pressure in

977
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 1: this game, and especially we keep saying this, if the

978
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 1: Giants can't run the football with any consistency, now it's

979
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: about turning around and trying to create pressure on the edge.

980
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 1: Rob brought up the tackles for the Giants. They've had

981
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 1: their shares of struggles. When you talk about you know,

982
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 1: with flowers and heart, those aren't just you know guys

983
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 1: that you say, Okay, those are shut down offensive tackles.

984
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: So you know, let's see if if if Tacco and

985
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 1: Fat can win at the line of scrimmage. Let's see

986
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:41,840
Speaker 1: if he can have a quick arm overmove rip, move something.

987
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 1: Play him in a game, play him in a twist stunt,

988
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 1: let him try and get home on some Russians. So

989
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 1: maybe he could be that guy that you know, we

990
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 1: didn't talk about him as the behind the scenes player,

991
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: but maybe he could be a behind the scenes player.

992
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:55,359
Speaker 1: We've seen him played better, yea. We've seen him played

993
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 1: better in the preseason games as he's gone through them.

994
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: So hopefully he can carry that in. All right, we

995
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: have a caller on the line, Tony from Florida. Hope

996
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:06,839
Speaker 1: you're safe, Hope your family safe? What's your question? Hi?

997
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 1: Thank you guys. Umm. I'm going to be traveling from

998
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:14,800
Speaker 1: Orlando this Saturday to attend the game for this weekend

999
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 1: and I'm so excited. I think Zeke will be a

1000
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 1: big different for the game, and I think we'll win.

1001
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 1: But I just have one question. What's the chances that

1002
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 1: Zeke will continue playing for the whole year. I know

1003
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 1: it's up to the court, but I just want to

1004
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: take you play fantasy football? Do you play fantasy football? Tony?

1005
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:38,359
Speaker 1: You play? You play fantasy football? Uh? No, you know, Okay,

1006
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: I thought maybe this was a fantasy question. Tell me

1007
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 1: if you're playing, Yeah, tell me if you're playing just

1008
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 1: a Cowboys fan. Yeah, we'll safe travels to you and

1009
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 1: welcome to Texas when you get here. I hope everything's

1010
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 1: okay when you get back from you. Yeah. That's the

1011
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 1: million dollar question, isn't it. Yeah, I would love to know.

1012
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 1: I mean you want to you want to you want

1013
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 1: to put odds on an injunction on a win? Go ahead? No,

1014
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 1: I mean I'm asking you too. You have no clue.

1015
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:03,879
Speaker 1: I don't have a clue. Would you say it's at

1016
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 1: sixty percent or more that he gets in he gets

1017
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: an injunction? I mean if you go off precedent and

1018
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:11,720
Speaker 1: Brady got one, then maybe you think, okay, yeah there's

1019
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: a chance. But it's every case is different, So I

1020
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't have a feeling about this. Yeah,

1021
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 1: I've tried to. I know, we got in a huge

1022
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 1: discussion about it yesterday. It's it's hard. We're beating our

1023
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 1: heads against the wall talking about it, you know, as

1024
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:26,879
Speaker 1: I'm one of these guys that and even my own

1025
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 1: mom came out after listening to show yesterday and said, Brian,

1026
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 1: he has to clear his name, doesn't he, you know,

1027
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying he doesn't have to clear his name.

1028
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,799
Speaker 1: Distraction maybe a bad word, but I just want to

1029
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 1: I would just like to get I don't put it

1030
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:44,319
Speaker 1: this way, and I'll stop after I say this. I

1031
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,280
Speaker 1: just don't see this getting better. You know, the more

1032
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 1: that the more that it goes through the courts, the

1033
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: more people are paid to dig and find out things.

1034
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: And you know, I think it's to a point where, yes,

1035
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 1: you know, we know what we know now, but if

1036
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 1: this thing goes on another six months, you know what

1037
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 1: else are you going to find out? What else you

1038
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 1: had to live? Yeah? And I think that, Yeah, And

1039
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 1: I know he's wrong. I know he wants to clear

1040
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,919
Speaker 1: his name, and Mom, you're absolutely right all the time.

1041
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: I totally agree with you about that, good man. But

1042
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 1: but I will say this, though, there comes a point

1043
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: in time where you have to say I just, you know,

1044
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 1: for the best. I just don't want them to continually

1045
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 1: dig I mean, the NFL is a huge, huge, huge business.

1046
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:33,320
Speaker 1: Yesterday making mention that there were thirty four players suspended

1047
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: on that were released on Saturday. Sure, great point, But

1048
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 1: Ezeki Elliott league led the league in rushing last Yes,

1049
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 1: and there is a microscope on that guy. Yeah, there's

1050
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. And you know, and especially if

1051
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:50,320
Speaker 1: this turns into a bit. It's already a big case.

1052
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:53,399
Speaker 1: But the more that you have to prep to get

1053
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 1: ready for a further case down the line, then you

1054
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: know what else is going to come out, what else

1055
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 1: is going to harm? See, I'm not thinking about the

1056
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 1: team here, I'm thinking about Zeke. I'm thinking about what

1057
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: else out there do we not know about. Well, yeah,

1058
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: but it's already the allegations are already bad, and he's

1059
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: in a situation where he clearly, like Jerry has said,

1060
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 1: there's no clear evidence here. I would be so mad

1061
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 1: if I was in that situation and clearly claim I'm innocent.

1062
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:25,799
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fight it, Brian, like I sure. I just

1063
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 1: I don't care what else comes out, Like I don't

1064
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: want that attached to my name. Okay, you guys know

1065
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,280
Speaker 1: who Willie Sneet is. Yeah, yeah, he had an appeal,

1066
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:36,240
Speaker 1: it got approved. It's down to three games. People didn't

1067
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 1: even talk about. That's Ezekiel Elliott the main topic, but

1068
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: was his was alcohol? Yeah. No, I'm not comparing this

1069
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 1: is said, so please don't tweet me and say different suspensions.

1070
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:52,720
Speaker 1: All I'm comparing is that there is so much interest

1071
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:55,799
Speaker 1: in Ezekiel Elliott. He is on the plane field or not,

1072
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 1: And so to say all these things about these other

1073
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 1: players being suspended and that snouts here and all this stuff,

1074
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:04,319
Speaker 1: it's unfair. I just worry about further carnage, is what

1075
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 1: I worry about. There is a question though about other

1076
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 1: suspended players, Jamie and Wilson and Nolan Carroll. Bobbie wants

1077
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: to know are they eligible to play Sunday. Yeah. I

1078
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 1: mean we haven't heard anything from the league, you know,

1079
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: and they weren't part of the thirty five or so

1080
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 1: names that Mickey mentioned yesterday on the waiver wire, so

1081
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 1: from the other day. So yeah, until further notice, all

1082
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:27,320
Speaker 1: those they'll be all available and and likely play agreed,

1083
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: which concerns you more. Jamie wants to know the run

1084
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:33,320
Speaker 1: game if Zeke goes ahead, or how the O line

1085
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 1: performs with a new left guard and right tackle stepping in,

1086
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 1: assuming this is past week one, because he says, you

1087
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:43,359
Speaker 1: know Zeke playing ad well, it kind of goes hand

1088
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:46,839
Speaker 1: in hand, you know, especially if you don't have Zeke

1089
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 1: in there and you don't have a guy that can

1090
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: get you a couple extra yards on a play that

1091
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 1: maybe shouldn't go as far as it doth in one

1092
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:54,359
Speaker 1: play in the Yeah Lands. Yeah, I mean, I think

1093
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,800
Speaker 1: you've got a factor in both. I think they'll figure

1094
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 1: out this left guard situation at some point and roll

1095
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:02,879
Speaker 1: with the guy, and you hope that both guys stay

1096
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 1: healthy and it's not a situation where Chads gets hurt

1097
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 1: again and they've got to put Cooper in. I'd be

1098
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 1: more concerned with the running game sustaining. If there's no

1099
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 1: Zeke in there for six weeks sustaining, I think that's fair. Yeah, Mickey,

1100
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,920
Speaker 1: how do you feel about this online moving forward? Will

1101
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:22,320
Speaker 1: they figure it out? I worry about it from the start.

1102
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 1: I think that both guys, if they stay healthy, will improve.

1103
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:31,799
Speaker 1: But are they ready September tenth? Are they ready east

1104
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 1: September seventeenth? You know, and maybe one of these things

1105
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:37,839
Speaker 1: where you get better as you go along, but they

1106
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:42,720
Speaker 1: count the early games. Yeah, I've had the concern about

1107
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:44,840
Speaker 1: Chaz Green. I've said a bunch. I think he's one

1108
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: of the best five they've got. But you know, and

1109
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 1: every time they put him into it, plugged him into

1110
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 1: a situation, he succeeded what I thought. You know, initially

1111
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:55,239
Speaker 1: I was a little worried about this, but you know,

1112
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 1: at the guard spot, I don't think it's his best position,

1113
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:01,359
Speaker 1: but hopefully that he'll overcome any short falls that he has.

1114
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 1: It'll be difficult in this game. It's two big, physical

1115
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:07,759
Speaker 1: inside players for the Giants. You're gonna have to you know,

1116
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to be tough in the middle of

1117
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:11,280
Speaker 1: that pocket because it's not going to be easy running

1118
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:13,879
Speaker 1: the football for sure. I saw an interesting stat today

1119
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 1: and what we're talking about the offensive line. You said

1120
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 1: the start, And that's what scares me because the Dallas

1121
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 1: Cowboys are the only team this season who are facing

1122
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 1: straight four games against top ten defenses from the twenty

1123
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 1: sixteen season. Obviously, that's that's something to look at. And

1124
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 1: if you got an O line and you're worried about them,

1125
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 1: to start, how are you going to fill them week four?

1126
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:39,840
Speaker 1: And a lot of the strength of those defenses is

1127
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:44,719
Speaker 1: their front, right you look at the Rams in Denver, Arizona, Arizona,

1128
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 1: and especially this Giants team. Yeah, yeah, you finding the

1129
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 1: research on that. When you said that, it gave me

1130
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 1: pause and I was trying to remember the first four teams.

1131
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:57,760
Speaker 1: So I'll go ahead and tell you the Dallas Cowboys

1132
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:00,399
Speaker 1: are the only team TOPEEN twenty seventeen with four straight

1133
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 1: games against top ten total defenses from last season, New

1134
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 1: York Giants, Denver, Arizona in La Rams. Okay, so my

1135
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 1: thought was they're going to have to play four straight

1136
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 1: games against teams that had winning records last year, and

1137
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 1: that's not the case. Yeah, No, top ten total rams

1138
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 1: didn't quite A question with a lot of those teams

1139
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 1: is can they score points exactly? But but yeah, I

1140
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 1: mean defensively, they're gonna challenge Dak. They're gonna challenge Zeke

1141
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 1: if he's available for those games, no question. What do

1142
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 1: you think they're saying there? If Zeke's there, they're probably thinking,

1143
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 1: they're probably praying that Zeke's not there. Yeah, most players

1144
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 1: will tell you. Harold Henderson most teams will tell you that.

1145
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: Those guys will say, oh no, I don't care. I

1146
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: want to play against competition. That's a lie. You look

1147
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 1: for the easiest path to win a football game, there's

1148
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 1: only sixteen of these. They're hard to win Von Miller

1149
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 1: and all of them would like to get past this

1150
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 1: old line. They would rather play against. They would rather

1151
00:57:56,120 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 1: play it. Whoever your backup tackle is. Trust me. Yeah.

1152
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,520
Speaker 1: I mean the players always say, oh, bring, it doesn't matter,

1153
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 1: but deep down inside trust me. I've been on the

1154
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 1: field with players before the game. Is player talking. Yeah, No.

1155
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 1: I've been on the field of NFL games where I've

1156
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:12,439
Speaker 1: had players walk up to me and say, he didn't

1157
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 1: look like he's going today, DESI, I'm saying, it doesn't

1158
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:16,480
Speaker 1: look like any goes. Oh that's good, that'll help us. Hey,

1159
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 1: you're wearing a Super Bowl ring and I remember one

1160
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 1: time asking you about that and you said you have

1161
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 1: to be very lucky, lucky to get a Super Bowl ring.

1162
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes luck, unfortunately, comes with other people's misfortune. Nobody remembers

1163
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 1: really who didn't play. They just you remember who won

1164
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 1: the game when it comes five years from now. Yeah,

1165
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 1: So win the game. Larry Allen Flew, Larry Allen Flew,

1166
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 1: No one cares about that. Yeah, tomorrow, Mickey kind of

1167
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 1: hinted at it already. But we're going to get to

1168
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 1: game predictions. We're going to get to our guesses for

1169
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 1: the inactives and get ready to watch the Cowboys take

1170
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 1: on the Giants at AT and T Stadium Sunday Night football.

1171
00:58:55,120 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 1: Join us tomorrow for Talking Cowboys. This has been a
