Speaker 1: underway last night, as the Chiefs took down the Houston

Speaker 1: and the great heck Ma Harrison. As always, no Isaiah

14
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: stand back today, which is unfortunate because we're only three

15
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,559
Speaker 1: fourths of what we usually are as a show without

16
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: Isaiah in the mix. But hey, we're gonna hold down

17
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: the fort and we'll see Isaiah again here next week

18
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 1: and even this weekend if you're gonna watch pregame live

19
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: as well. But tons of tons of storylines to get

20
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: to leading into the weekend. But guys, I want to

21
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: kind of start on a more serious note, and for

22
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: a couple of reasons. First off, really one of the

23
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: first things I do whenever I intro a show normally

24
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: is I usually like to say the date, and today

25
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: is Friday, September eleventh, and that's a date that's gonna

26
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: ring throughout the memories of Americans for the rest of

27
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: time because of what happened back in two thousand and

28
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: one on this date. Of course, the terrorist attacks in

29
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: the start of the War on Terrorism in New York

30
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: as the Twin Towers also on the Pentagon, and the

31
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: terrorist attacks that were brought out and things that images

32
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: that will never be forgotten and something that all of us,

33
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: I know, remember where we were when that moment was happening,

34
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: no matter where we were in our walk of life

35
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: and where we were specifically physically. But guys, I wanted

36
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: to kind of give you, guys a moment in remembrance

37
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: of those victims and really what that stood for as

38
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: a country. And Rob will start with you. I can't

39
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: believe it's been almost twenty years, Kyle. I mean it

40
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: just hit me today that it's been nineteen years. I

41
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: was in college at the time. I like you said,

42
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: there are certain things that you remember most, and there's

43
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: a lot of things that still I can remember. But

44
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: the things that stick out today still are the coverage

45
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: that day class is getting canceled on my campus, Peter

46
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: Jennings on ABC trying to guide us all through it,

47
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: President Bush's speech at Ground Zero, all of the first

48
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: responders and their fearlessness and trying to help people. And

49
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: I also remember George Tea a week later running out

50
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: through the tunnel onto the football field with the American flag.

51
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: That that, to me is still just in my memory.

52
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: And um, I guess for me, it's just a reminder

53
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: of so many people need football, you know, to kind

54
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: of bring it back to our show, and having the

55
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: season opener last night in the middle of another just

56
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: just horrific situation in our country. Uh, it's nice to

57
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: have football back because I think sometimes we need a

58
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: diversion from some of the problems that we're having in

59
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: our own lives. Heck, yeah, Kyle, I was. I was

60
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: living in Puerto Rico at the time in college, and man,

61
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: it was it was erie. It was erie being being

62
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: a student abroad and not being able to get back

63
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: home to my family, and just the way that life

64
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: changed in a moment's notice. One of the things that

65
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: I drew from September eleventh is you know, the first responders,

66
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: and they're just heroic efforts to try and save people.

67
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: The one the first responders that ran up those those

68
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: stairs to try and save people why the building was

69
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: coming down. That's something that has always stayed with me.

70
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: Just being glued to the television, like and in the

71
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: eerie reminder of just being glued to the television is

72
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: the same today with the with the pandemic. But the

73
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: one thing that I will always take from September eleventh

74
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: is how unite it we all stood after September eleventh,

75
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: How you know united we stand. We're all Americans and

76
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: everyone standing together against you know, terrorism, And you know,

77
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: September eleventh is always going to be My wife and

78
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: I we were talking about it just nineteen years It

79
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: just seems like that time flew. But even in that

80
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: nineteen years, man, you remember exactly where you were when

81
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: that first plane hit the build, and then in moments thereafter,

82
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 1: I think we just all were in shock. And yeah,

83
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: that's Yeah, that's that's really my September eleventh memory, absolutely,

84
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: and I appreciate you guys sharing that, especially, like Rob

85
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: said on a football show, this isn't the normal thing

86
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: that you talk about, but you have to talk about

87
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: it because it does represent what we are as Americans

88
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: in that unity and everything that that's involved in the Red, white,

89
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: and blue, and man, it's a it's a terrible memory,

90
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: but it's a memory nonetheless. And we wanted to take

91
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: a couple of moments here at the start of the

92
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: show to remember those victims and remember those first responders

93
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: who had their lives taken from them, almost three thousand

94
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: that day throughout New York City, Washington, d C. And

95
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania as well. So we want to remember them.

96
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: And while we're still kind of on a serious note,

97
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: taking a more cowboys look at a serious note. In

98
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: a storyline that came out yesterday, I don't even want

99
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: to say, really the name of the reporter, because I

100
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: know that's kind of where he wants it to be.

101
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: He wants his name out there. But there were reports

102
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: in it. There was a statement made yesterday about Dak

103
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: Prescott and the fact that he wasn't necessarily doing a

104
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: good job of hiding his emotions, and Dak Prescott in

105
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: an interview last week or that or that was actually

106
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: surfaced this week, rather went through his depression, in his

107
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: struggle with mental health and really some of the things

108
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: that he dealt with as an individual and as a

109
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: human whenever his brother was passed passed away back in April.

110
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: So guys kind of wanted to take a quick second

111
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: to to back Dak Prescott as well. I mean, mental

112
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: health is no joke. I mean this is something that's

113
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: it's very serious for thousands, millions of people from a

114
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,559
Speaker 1: day to day basis. And I know this is something

115
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: that at least both of you guys, I know, hold dear,

116
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: both of you mentioned yesterday that this is something we

117
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 1: want and need to talk about because of course it

118
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: being our quarterback in Dak Prescott. But at the same time,

119
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: this is a serious issue and people need to be

120
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: aware of how serious it is. Well, you know, Kyle,

121
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: I think I want to stay with a trend of

122
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: not mentioning you know, the person that that the reason

123
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: why we're talking about this, And look, this is a

124
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: tough subject, man, and I just want to be clear

125
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: on the fact that I know it is. One of

126
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: the things that I want to point to is the

127
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: fact that Dak Prescott's interview was amazing. Yeah, and it

128
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: was amazing because he was able to articulate what he's

129
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: been going through through this pandemic and what it was

130
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: like growing up Dak Prescott. The headline stiller is what

131
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: was mentioned by said reporter that makes this is the

132
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: reason why we're talking about it. But really, what Dak

133
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: was talking about was phenomenal. His what he's doing as

134
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: far as trying to help put the police officers and

135
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: his charitable donations. His father talked about that. But then

136
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: what it's like growing up a multiracial man in America.

137
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: That's that to me was the most striking thing about that,

138
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: because what he was talking about is two Americas, the

139
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: Americas that we're seeing white and black right, and how

140
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: being a multiracial man and having to deal with not

141
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: being accepted on both sides and still having to deal

142
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: with his raw emotions. Man, we've all been dealing with

143
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: this pandemic and it's you know, Hey, I'm a substitute teacher.

144
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 1: I'm teaching my nine year old, my thirteen year old,

145
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: and it has had his mental toll on everyone dealing

146
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: with this, and I feel as though after listening to

147
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: Dak and him being forthcoming and being honest about his

148
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: emotions and what he's dealing with, that's something to not

149
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: be targeted and said that, Hey, this guy should be

150
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: looked at like he's weak because he's talking in these terms,

151
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: but more or less, look at the strength that he's

152
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: exuded by saying that. Look ideal with something that everybody

153
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: deals with, and it doesn't matter if you're the CEO

154
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: of Amazon or you're the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.

155
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: He was making sure that everyone knows that he is

156
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 1: human and he is dealing with all of this the

157
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: best that he can. And look, I really, if anything,

158
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 1: after listening to that interview, man, if I wasn't a

159
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott fan before, I'm a bigger Dak Prescott fan today,

160
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: I can't say it any better than that. I mean,

161
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: you know, I'm with you guys like I don't want

162
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: to talk about the talk show host who said that

163
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: and had that take, because I know his bit. I've

164
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: seen his bit for enough years now. He plays opposite man.

165
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: He wants to have a take that's different than everybody else. Well,

166
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: this one happened to be way out of line and

167
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: just ridiculous. And everything Heckmas said is exactly right. You know,

168
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: I think as men, I think a lot of times

169
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: we're brought up to be stoic and tough and don't

170
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: show our our emotions, and the older you get, you

171
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: realize that's just not that's not the case. It's okay

172
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: to be vulnerable, as Dak said yesterday, And it doesn't

173
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 1: matter how much money you make. You know, money is

174
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: not everything people people, We never know what people are

175
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: dealing with in their hearts day to day, and I

176
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: think that's why it's really important. And Dak using his

177
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: platform is so important, Like you said, heck multiple different matters,

178
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: social justice, now, mental wellness. Like for that to be

179
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 1: said on air yesterday was so irresponsible given what people

180
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: are dealing with in this country right now on a

181
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: lot of different levels. We've talked about the pandemic we've got.

182
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: There are people dying, there are people sick, they're people

183
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: isolated from their families, have seen family members die and

184
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: not being able to be with them because of the virus,

185
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: and and obviously there's there are social injustice problems in

186
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: this country. There's a lot of things affecting people in

187
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: this country, and it's important to have that message out

188
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: there that it's okay to be hurting right now, you know.

189
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: And I know my family has had a lot of

190
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: problems this year personally, and other people have too, And

191
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: to have Dak say that that really struck me. You

192
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: know that he can that his message carries a lot

193
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: of weight, and for him to say that, I think

194
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: can really help people. I applauded for it. I think

195
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: it was something that needed to be said, especially with

196
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: somebody who does have the platform that he does. And

197
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: both of you guys very well said on each of

198
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: your parts, and I think he said it well himself,

199
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 1: saying and I'm going to quote from his interview with

200
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: Graham ben sing or excuse me, but he said it

201
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: showed me how vulnerable we have to be as humans,

202
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: how open we have to be because of our adversity,

203
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: our struggles, what we go through. It's always going to

204
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: be too much for ourselves and maybe too much for

205
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: even one or two people, but it's never too much

206
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: for a community, or never too much for the people

207
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: in the family that you love, so we have to

208
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: share those things. And I think that's very well said.

209
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: It's it's absolutely a problem. And we're gonna take a

210
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: break here in just a couple of moments and then

211
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: we'll talk football, I promise. But as we go into

212
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: this break, I wanted to mention that yesterday was national

213
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: world it was World Suicide Prevention Day, and I wanted

214
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: to leave this number out there just for those who

215
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: may need some help. If you're happening to listen to

216
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: this podcast and you have been struggling with a depression

217
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: or with a loss and you need somebody to talk to,

218
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: reach out to those around you, absolutely, because it is

219
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: a community that is needed in order to face these

220
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: issues together, whether it's a mental health issue or even

221
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: what we've been dealing with as a society with the

222
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: COVID nine team pandemic and every issue that's going on

223
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: in our world right now. But I mean, reach out

224
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: to us. If you don't have anybody to reach out to,

225
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: My dms are open, reach out to me. I have

226
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: no issue talking to anybody about these types of issues,

227
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: and it's something that is needed to be done. So

228
00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: I wanted to throw that out there as well. But

229
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: I want to throw this number out there. It's the

230

268
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: sticking through what was a very heavy first segment, but

269
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: it was a couple of topics that we absolutely wanted

270
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: to hit on and share our opinions on because we

271
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: do back both of those different causes, both remembrance of

272
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: nine to eleven and never forgetting that, and then also

273
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: backing Dak Prescott with the comments that were made yesterday.

274
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: But we've got some breaking news to go into here

275
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: on talking Cowboys as well. Just a couple of moments

276
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: before we went on air, there was breaking news from

277
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: Tom Pallisero of NFL Network saying that the Cowboys have

278
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: signed a one year voidable extension, meaning fifteen million dollars

279
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: of the base salary of one DeMarcus Lawrence has been

280
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: converted into a signing bonus, which frees up twelve million

281
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: dollars of cap space this year by making such moves.

282
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: So we've got some movement whenever it comes to the

283
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys and it comes to this roster. We thought, of course,

284
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: last week we saw Zach Martin have a deal restructured,

285
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: we saw some other cap space mingling in there. But Rob,

286
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: what does this mean, whenever it comes to DeMarcus Lawrence

287
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: getting an extension that's voidable and assigning bonus and freeing

288
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: up all this money, it's really the same thing. I

289
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: think that we saw the same purpose that we saw

290
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: with tyre In and with Zach recently. Just creating some

291
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: more space, yes for this year, but you know, an

292
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: any unused money can carry over to twenty twenty one.

293
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: I think that's really what they're eyeing. And they've done

294
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: this in the past, you know, they with franchise Cornerstone players.

295
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: I think they've done it with Tony Romo's contract in

296
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: the past, some other top guys. You know, you can

297
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: you can convert some of that base salary to signing

298
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: bonus money and then basically carry it over and free

299
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: up some space. So that's what they're doing, and we

300
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: all know the cap is very uncertain next year. We

301
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: also know there's a possibility that Dak Prescott will have

302
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: to get franchised again, at least maybe in the interim

303
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: to create space for what would be a thirty eight

304
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: million dollar cap figure. So that's that's I think primarily

305
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: what they're looking at here. Heckma, do you agree, because

306
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: I know there are a lot of fans out there

307
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: that might be saying there's there's a free agent that's

308
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: on the market. At the moment, I would tend to

309
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: side with Rob whenever it comes to this is a

310
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 1: future move to keep your quarterback. But I know how

311
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: you and Isaiah had been talking, and I wish Isaiah'd

312
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: be on because he would say, Earl Thomas, he would

313
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: say it immediately, but heck, what do you think about

314
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: this this move? Well, I you know, I'm siding with

315
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: Rob on this because I feel as though it's something

316
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: that's going to free up that cap space to get

317
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: Dak signed. At least that's what I'm hoping, and I'm

318
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 1: hoping that Dak didn't. We don't have to go through

319
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 1: this for another offseason with Dak in the franchise tech.

320
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: I mean, got that made for a lot of interesting banswer,

321
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: but let's get it done. I think that with COVID nineteen,

322
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: the uniqueness of COVID nineteen, and just with so many

323
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: things being up in the air on what the cap

324
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: is going to be next year, I just feel like

325
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: from an accounting standpoint, the Cowboys are just being very

326
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: smart smart to make sure that they're not over their

327
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,959
Speaker 1: cap space next year. Yeah. Hey, if Isaiah we're here

328
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: right now, I don't think he would have let either

329
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: of us finish. He couldn't even finish our points. Would

330
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: I would have I would have directed that question to

331
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: Rob and Isaiah would have answered it. That's how it

332
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: would have worked out if he was there, because he

333
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: would be thinking. And I know there are a lot

334
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: of listeners right now that are saying, oh my gosh,

335
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: we freed up twelve million dollars of cap space. That

336
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 1: means Earl Thomas is coming right. It's not necessarily going

337
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: to work like that. I really don't think it will.

338
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: If it does, it does, and hey, we've got a

339
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl safety back there, and that would be interesting

340
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: and something that I know, I think all three of

341
00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: us would welcome from a football perspective. I just don't

342
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: know if it's going to happen from a business perspective

343
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: and from a locker room standpoint and things like that

344
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: moving into the season. But you look at really the

345
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: situation that Mike McCarthy has coming up in here in

346
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 1: Week one, there's still a lot of question marks around

347
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: his quarterback and the storylines that surfaced yesterday. Of course,

348
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas is still looming in the storylines. There's all

349
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: these restructurings from the front office. But there's a chance

350
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: to just get down to football this weekend. And I

351
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: think that's what he's excited about, as he talked about

352
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: yesterday in his press conference. He's just ready to get

353
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: back out there. He's ready to go up against a

354
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: coach like Sean McVay on the other sideline. And that's

355
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: kind of where I want to go with this segment,

356
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: is talking about this coaching matchup. Mike McCarthy has a

357
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, Sean McVay has an AP Coach of the Year,

358
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: something that Mike McCarthy does not have in his tenure.

359
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: This is not necessarily an easy matchup for McCarthy, even

360
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: though Sean mcvay' is also coming off a pretty disappointing season. Heckma,

361
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: what do you think about the coaching matchup and really

362
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: too different style of gurus going at it Sunday night? Yeah, well,

363
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: I think that I'm a homer, but I gotta say this,

364
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: I just feel as though McCarthy and his experience kind

365
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: of you have to move the needle towards him because

366
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: of that experience, but at the same time, both of

367
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: these guys are from those families or schools of thought

368
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: as far as offensive gurus are concerned. I thought it.

369
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: I found it very funny too well, just fascinating that

370
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 1: McCarthy talked about looking at Sean mcvay's offense and admiring

371
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: it from afar with him having an opportunity in with

372
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: being fired by Green Bay to just look at different coaches,

373
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: and just his admiration for Sean McVay and the multiple

374
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: schemes and tempos and formations that he runs some of

375
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: his plays out of. And so I found that to

376
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: be one of the things that I think it's going

377
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: to give coach Mike McCarthy a leg up. And by

378
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 1: the way, I think it should be noted that he

379
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: has three coaches that were on the staff or for

380
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: Los Angeles as well, so he's had a really good

381
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: opportunity to dissect some of the things that Sean McVay

382
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: likes to do out in La Man McCarthy didn't have

383
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: the Coach of the Year when they win fifteen and

384
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: one in Green Bay that year. That's now, yeah, at

385
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: least that's what I saw from from my research, I

386
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: might have missed it, but I really don't think so. Wow. Well, yeah,

387
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: I think he's been an underrated coach throughout his time

388
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 1: in Green Bay because I think, you know, people see

389
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and think, you know, he's he's the face.

390
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: But to Heckma's point, creativity jumps out of me first

391
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: when you talk about both coaches. I think what Sean

392
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: McVay has done the last two three years in terms

393
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: of some of his offensive mindset formations, different pre snap looks,

394
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 1: I think it's been adopted around the league that you're

395
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 1: seeing it more and more around the league. But I

396
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: think both coaches recognize you have to adapt, you know.

397
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: You know, the Rams had a tough tough year last

398
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: year offensively after what they did a couple of years

399
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: ago in the Super Bowl run. And you know, and

400
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: Sean McVay admitted, you know, we didn't use Todd Gurley

401
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: enough last year. So I think that's something he's got

402
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: to he's probably looking at. And the best coaches find

403
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: the best ways to use what personnel they have. So

404
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting to see what the rams

405
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: real strengths are this year. And you know, with the

406
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: changes that they've made on the roster that we talked

407
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 1: about the last couple of days and Mike McCarthy, like

408
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: Heck said, he has spent a year off basically coaching

409
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 1: himself and evaluating himself on what things did I not

410
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 1: do well enough maybe my last couple of years in

411
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 1: Green Bay. And the thing I like the most that

412
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: he said recently was I'm trying to empower my coaches.

413
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore is the offensive coordinator, other coaches on staff

414
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: to you know, empower these guys to take control of

415
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: their positions and their play calling and uh and obviously

416
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: use his influence as well. I think his time off

417
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 1: the analytics stuff he's looked at that, I think it's

418
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: it's made him a better coach and we're about to

419
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: all find out here in a couple of days. We

420
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: are going to find out. And it's a change for

421
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: both sides because you look at Mike McCarthy and what

422
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,719
Speaker 1: he's done over the past year. Now with a new franchise,

423
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh has a trio of new coordinators, basically an

424
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 1: entirely new staff underneath him and a new identity. We

425
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: talked about it and Rob you alluded to it just

426
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: a moment ago about the new identity of this Rams team.

427
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: Last year, they abandoned the run. They went to the past.

428
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: It was Jared Goff versus the world whenever it came

429
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: to slinging the football around a little bit, and it's

430
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why they ended up as a

431
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: top five passing offense in the NFL. But heckm whenever

432
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: you look at the options that Sean McVeigh has in

433
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,719
Speaker 1: the creativity that he has as a coach, are you

434
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: expecting straightforward passing attack, let's throw the football around or

435
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: is there something up as sleeve a little bit come Sunday. No,

436
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: I think there's no mystery with Sean McVeigh. I mean,

437
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: he does a lot of different things from a multiple sets.

438
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 1: I love it. You know, he does the bunch sets

439
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 1: with the tight ends. He even goes four receivers down

440
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: on the goal line, So there's I mean, he has

441
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: no shame about what he wants to do. And that's

442
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: get you your vertical. In the passing game, we're gonna

443
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: see a lot of five dvs. It's just Nickel and

444
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: don packages for everyone. And we talked about it a

445
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: little bit yesterday as far as touching on what the

446
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: tight ends do and that offense, and that's what I

447
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: think it's going to be very interesting as far as

448
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: matchups in this game is how we can adjust to

449
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: what they do with their tight ends. I mean, they

450
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 1: have tight end screens. Anytime Jared Goff is bootlegging, he

451
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: gets out of space and always will find Higbee are

452
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: ever it. But I think that's the challenge that the

453
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 1: Cowboys has is those multiple sets and some of the

454
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: things that like Rob alluded to, the pre snap stuff.

455
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: They come out, they go with a hard count, you know,

456
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: quick count things like that. They're always keeping the defense

457
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: on their toes. So Mike Nolan has his hands full

458
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: and he has to prepare for everything for this Rams offense. Yeah,

459
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,719
Speaker 1: the tight end matchups really interesting because it makes it

460
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: remind finds me of what Mike and Mike Nolan have

461
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 1: said this offseason and in camp, where it's about matchups

462
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: in the secondary. It's not so much Okay, you play corner,

463
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: you play safety. You got to be able to adjust.

464
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: And they've got versatile dbs that are physically able to

465
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: match up with tight ends and cover as well. You know,

466
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: I think Daryl Worley comes to mind, branding car. I

467
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 1: don't know if he's going to be called up for

468
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: this game. You know, he didn't have a training camp,

469
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 1: but he's a guy in your mind where he's a

470
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: big enough corner, a dB that can match up with

471
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 1: tight ends and carry them down the field. So the Cowboys,

472
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 1: I think are trying to build their defense that way

473
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: to handle some of the versatile looks that you're going

474
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: to see from from other offenses. And I think that's

475
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: that's what Mike Nolan's whole stick is, is the fact

476
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 1: that he's able to throw those multiple defenses out there

477
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: and provide different looks to keep an offense off guard.

478
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: And one of the reasons why this team has been

479
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: so secretive throughout the course of the off season and

480
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: training camp, and hopefully it pays off. But I've got

481
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: a stat, guys that I want to throw out here.

482
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: I've got a stat. It might make it nervous a

483
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 1: little bit. How about this. I've got two Actually these

484
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: are two separate stats. First, one is that mister Sean McVay,

485
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: that coach on the other side, who's who was hired

486
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: as the youngest NFL head coach in history is a

487
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: whopping three and zero as a head coach and season openers.

488
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: And in those season openers, he's averaged over thirty six

489
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: points per game and outscored his appointed opponents one o

490
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 1: nine forty nine. So they've outscored him by a more

491
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: than half a century of points. And they've just been

492
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: absolutely dominant in season openers. And on the other side,

493
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: how about this second stat. Mike McCarthy in his first

494
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 1: game as the Packers head coach, so his first game

495
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 1: with a new franchise and a season opener on the road.

496
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 1: It was against Chicago back in two thousand and six,

497
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: twenty six to nothing loss, and he gave up four

498
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: field goals and an eighty four yard punt returned touch

499
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: down to none other than Devin Hester of the Chicago Bears.

500
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: And that's how the Packers there, That's how the Packers

501
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 1: ten Yeah, well it is Devin Hester, but that's how

502
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: the Packers tenure for Mike McCarthy started. Does that make

503
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 1: you nervous on both of those stats, rob moving into

504
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: Sunday's game just because of the similarities or the I

505
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: guess the polar opposites of the two coaches. Are you

506
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: saying the Cowboys are gonna go to LA and could

507
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: be fifty No, no, way through our predictions, way to

508
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: our predictions. But no, I'm not saying fifty to nothing.

509
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: That's not what I'm saying. But I am throwing out

510
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: these stats to see if it'll make me nervous. I mean,

511
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: I think you have to respect Sean McVeigh and that

512
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: to me, that really speaks to a young coach that

513
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: gets his team prepared to play. But every year is different,

514
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 1: every team's different. Um. I don't think you can look

515
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: back at what happened when Green Bay and say it's

516
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 1: gonna affect this team. I do expect a high scoring

517
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 1: game one because we don't neither team knows what the

518
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: other team's gonna do. And there's no crowd noise, there's

519
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: no there's nothing, there's nothing to impact Dak Prescott in

520
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: the offensive line at the line of scrimmage, and so

521
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna see a lot of points. Um,

522
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: But no, I don't really. I'm not nervous, Kyle. I'm

523
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: not nervous at all. Heck no, I'm not either, Yll

524
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's the first times out for everything, right,

525
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: it is coming. It is coming this Sunday. My belief

526
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: about and I think we're talking about the Sean McVeigh

527
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: and McCarthy matchup, but I don't think enough has been

528
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: made about the Dak Prescott Jared Goff matchup as well.

529
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: Think about where these both of these quarterbacks are same class.

530
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: One guy is fighting to get that contract that solidifies

531
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: and validates him as a top tier quarterback. In another one,

532
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: it's just kind of easy, breezy, nonchalantly just going about

533
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: his business in making about thirty two thirty three million dollars. Look,

534
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: here's the thing. When it comes down the golf. I

535
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: know he gets really antsy and jumpy when defenses are

536
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: putting pressure on him, right, and I believe that with

537
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: the with the defense that we have, that's the number

538
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: one thing that we like. You said, Nolan Stick, Let's

539
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: make this guy uncomfortable the whole game. Let's come after him.

540
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: We know what he likes to do. He wants to

541
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: get out and get the ball out of his hands quickly.

542
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: That's their success. They run this West Coast offense just

543
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: the same that we're looking at here in Dallas, with

544
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of Kellen Moore mixed in with that,

545
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: but at the same time, we're gonna play fast, but defensively,

546
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna be our responsibility to move Golf out of

547
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: that pocket and make him uncomfortable. I totally agree. It's

548
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: this game is gonna come down to who controls the

549
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage on both sides. And I cannot wait

550
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: to see what Tristan Hill does in the middle of

551
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: that Cowboy's defensive line because he had an encouraging camp

552
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: and he's matching up against Blythe and that that interior

553
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: Rams offensive line, which some people think is is maybe

554
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: a weak spot. We'll find out this season. But how

555
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: good can this defensive line, defensive front for the Cowboys

556
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: be because they showed flashes. I know it's non tackling practice,

557
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: but they showed flashes in camp of wow, like the

558
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: talent level, the versatility. They have a chance to be really,

559
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: really good. So they can they disrupt golf Hex exactly

560
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: right to me, that's the key of the game. I

561
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: just want to I want to mention when's, first off,

562
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: how crazy things can change so quickly, because what Rob

563
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: just said, we're going into week one of twenty twenty

564
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: after the twenty nineteen that Tristan Hill said, alarms went

565
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: off in my head whenever you said I'm excited to

566
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: see what Triston Hill has in store for this offensive

567
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: line and for this game on Sunday, alarms went off

568
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: because that's originally you're like, what are you talking about?

569
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: But that's how good his camp was, and that's how

570
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: good his offseason was. Even without a full NFL OTA

571
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: written offseason, he was still able to come into camp

572
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: and look noticeably better at the moment earn a starting spot,

573
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: according to Stephen Jones in the Cowboys depth chart that

574
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: they put out, earn a starting spot for Tristan Hill.

575
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it does come down to the trenches.

576
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: It's what it came down to. In Week fifteen of

577
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: last season. The Cowboys dominated the trenches and they ended

578
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: up winning that game forty four to twenty one. But

579
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: when we come back here on Talking Cowboys, we got

580
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: a chance to look at the defending Super Bowl champions

581
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: in the Kansas City Chiefs last night or they headed

582
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: back to the Super Bowl, and will the Cowboys be

583
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: with them? We give you our twenty twenty predictions when

584
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:36,600

00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,760
Speaker 1: to get to. It's the final show before a really

629
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: NFL season kicks off. It kicked off last night with

630
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: the thirty four twenty Chiefs win over the Texans, but

631
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: the NFL weekend is still very much so ahead of us,

632
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: and we've got a full Sunday slate coming up in

633
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 1: a couple of days. But man, I was going through

634
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: these last night. I've got every prediction from all of

635
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: you guys. I've got the predictions for each division winner,

636
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: super Bowl matchup, and Super Bowl champion, and then we'll

637
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: predict Sunday's game at the end. But I wanted to

638
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: start with you Heckup, just because I really have no

639
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: idea where you're going with this. I think I've maybe

640
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 1: got a feel of where Rob could go, but I

641
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: don't know anything about where Heck was at in terms

642
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: of these predictions. So give us your AFC Division Champions

643
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: East to South all the way through. Let's go Oh God,

644
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:11,240
Speaker 1: all right, East East, I'm going AFCAST, I'm going Buffalo. Okay,

645
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: AFC North, I'm going Baltimore, AFC South. Oh God help

646
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: me Rob here, I'm trying to make a list right

647
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: now myself. Uh yeah, Houston last night. Yeah, it's last

648
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: night without without Grit, without Hopkins. I'm just yeah, like

649
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: they look real average to me right now. So I'm

650
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: gonna go Houston. I'll go Houston on that one. Uh

651
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: And obviously Kansas City, come on now, Okay, yeah, that

652
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 1: was pretty easy, Rob. What you got for the AFC.

653
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Buffalo. I'm going chalk from last year.

654
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: I think I'm going Buffalo, Baltimore, Tennessee, and Kansas City Baltimore.

655
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: You said, what was the third or who was the

656
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: loved in the South Tennessee Tennessee? Okay, Kansas City, Tennessee.

657
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: All right, I'm keeping up with these. By the way,

658
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 1: for all of those keeping track at home, I am

659
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,439
Speaker 1: also keeping tracks so that way we can come back

660
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: the end of the season and look through this. Uh. Okay,

661
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:26,760
Speaker 1: So I'm who you got. I'll go with the Bills,

662
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, the Ravens, And this is where I switch

663
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: it up. I think the Colts win the AFC South,

664
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: and I think they're a better team than a lot

665
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: of people give up. So I think the Colts. That's

666
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: pretty good. Yeah, so I think the Colts win the

667
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: AFC South. Isaiah's picks were the Bills, the Chiefs, the

668
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: Ravens and the tight Hands. So he's going pretty chalk

669
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: of last year as well. I think didn't New England

670
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: win that division still last year and Buffalo was the

671
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: wild card? I'm trying to remember, but uh yeah, I

672
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: think so. But yeah, so a little change there. I

673
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: mean there's still people out there that are thinking that

674
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: New England is going to win the division. By the way,

675
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: I am watching the comments on our periscope stream, so

676
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: if you have predictions of your own, throw them in there.

677
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: I'll read them out while we're going through our predictions ourselves,

678
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: just because I think there is a good little back

679
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: and forth. But I think Buffalo is a better team

680
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: this year, and I think New England's got a chance.

681
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:23,439
Speaker 1: What was that Robbie changing something? I'm changing my pick.

682
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: I gotta go with THEE even with Cam Newton at

683
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: the change. Yeah, I'm a I'm a Cam believer. I'm

684
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: a Belichick believer for sure. I think they're gonna be

685
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,280
Speaker 1: just fine. So I am going straight shock from last year. Sorry,

686
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: I'm surprised Isaiah didn't go with his former head coach

687
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 1: and Bill Belichick. He instead with the Bills, and so that's, uh,

688
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: that's a little intriguing to me as well. But all

689
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: right on the Bill's defense is just next level super

690
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: good nasty. Yeah, yeah, they are make nasty. And I

691
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: think Josh Allen's a real deal at quarterback too, even

692
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: though he's not your typical quarterback. I think he's a

693
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 1: good modern in it fell quarterback. Um, okay, NFC, Rob

694
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 1: will start with you this time. I'll go west to

695
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: east Okay, and I'll start. I'll go with Seattle, Seattle,

696
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: New Orleans, Green Bay and your Dallas Cowboys. What's your

697
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: prediction on Cowboys wins this year? Cowboys wins, I'm gonna

698
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: go ten and six, okay, And that's good enough to

699
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 1: win the division. It gives you, yeah, I think so.

700
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: And it gives you a little buffer. Maybe they catch

701
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: a break here there and they win an extra game

702
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 1: or two you never know. I like it. Heckma six. Yeah,

703
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: So all right, let's go. I'm going to Seattle. Okay, boy,

704
00:38:51,920 --> 00:39:01,760
Speaker 1: this is just getting tough. Seattles, Seattle, Saints, Saints yeah, um,

705
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: of course, Cowboys, NFC's who am I missing here? The North? Yeah?

706
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: You got the North? Oh Vikings, Oh okay, with Minnesota there,

707
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 1: I like it. Okay, I'm a fan. And then you, uh,

708
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: you've got the nfcas my boy. Yeah, we Cowboys. Okay,

709
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 1: what are you? Okay, well, what's your what's your win prediction? Then? Hi, man,

710
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: this is this is tough. Well you got on this beforehand,

711
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: so hard. Oh all right? Eleven and five, eleven and

712
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: five okay, eleven five awesome, eleven and five NFC East champions.

713
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: Isaiah went with the Seattle Seahawks the Green Bay Packers

714
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: winning the NFC North, the NFC South belongs to the Saints,

715
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: and he picked the Cowboys to win the NFC East.

716
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: I didn't get a win prediction from him. I'll ask him,

717
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: uh coming up here in a little bit. But so

718
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,439
Speaker 1: he's pretty much the same as what you guys had.

719
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: I've got a little bit different. I've got the Cowboys

720
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: winning the NFC East, of course, and I'll tell you

721
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: my win total here in a second. Uh. The NFC West,

722
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers, I think win that division again.

723
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 1: I still think they're fantastic and Kyle Shanahan's got him rolling.

724
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: I think the NFC North goes to the Vikings. I

725
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 1: think they're better than the Packers, and I think that's

726
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a fun little back and forth. But I

727
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: think even without Stefan Diggs, I still think the Vikings

728
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: are really good. Uh. And then the NFC South, the Saints,

729
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints are gonna dominate that division. Wow,

730
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: I'll do. Nobody picked Tampa Bay No, No, I'm not

731
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: a believerable Tom Tom Brady. Wow. Now, I think the

732
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: rest of his squad is really good and they're gonna

733
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. But I just think it's because of

734
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: the rest of the squad's really good. But we'll see. Hell,

735
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 1: he's probably what I know. It's true, he's proven a

736
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 1: lot of people wrong. That's true. That's true. I'm gonna

737
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: say eleven and five for the Cowboys. By the way

738
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: I went through the schedule last night, I think they'll

739
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: go eleven and five and win the division. So I'm

740
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: right there with you. He Okay, super Bowl matchup and

741
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion? Rob what you got on that one? Man?

742
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 1: I basically, I basically said, the Chiefs are gonna go

743
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 1: sixteen and oh yesterday, So I gotta stick with that.

744
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna stick with that. I got Pat

745
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: Mahomes as the MVP, and I've got the Chiefs back

746
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. I'll go with I'll go with Seattle. Okay,

747
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: with Seattle. I think the Cowboys have a chance to

748
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: make her run. But but you know, the continuity part

749
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: of it, to me, I think probably gives teams an

750
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 1: advantage this year, teams that have more continuity in terms

751
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: of coaching and personnel. The Seahawks did a lot to upgrade,

752
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 1: you know, in terms of defensively Jamal Adams, they got

753
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: some help offensively for Russ. I'll go with them, But

754
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: I got I mean, I don't see the I don't

755
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: see the chief losing much at all this year at all.

756
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: Let's just go nineteen and oh go, I'll go Chiefs.

757
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: Holy cow Okay, yeah wow, what Holy No? I don't

758
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: really believe that. But they're gonna have losses and I

759
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: got him repeating no, no, no, no, no, no, all right.

760
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: Heck ma, Rob, I don't know what Okay, all right,

761
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave that alone, all right. So I got

762
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 1: Baltimore coming out of the AFC, and guys, let me

763
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:34,720

Speaker 1: They don't say twenty five years, a quarter of a

777
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: century to make it sound so much longer. Right, But

00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 1: I'm going. I'm going Cowboys Ravens with return of the Championship,

784
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:46,120

788
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: I think we would have to tell you what you know.

789
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 1: You know what, if they pulled this off right, with

790
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,320
Speaker 1: as many changes as they had to their their scheme,

791
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: their coaching staff, players, that would be the biggest Super

792
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 1: Bowl of the six that they've ever won, the most

793
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: significant in the middle of a pandemic all of that.

794
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: That would be one of the greatest accomplishments in the

795
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: history of sports. I think I thought Rob was gonna

796
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: make a bet here. I thought he was gonna make

797
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: a bet. And I'm of course a big fan of

798
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 1: bets and holding yourself to to a standard. But yeah,

799
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: I'm not run into the star. And it helped us

800
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: get a wide receiver. Uh No, if we if they

801
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: ended up winning a Super Bowl. If they ended up

802
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: winning a super Bowl, then hey, I'm I'll do a

803
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: podcast down in South oak Cliff. We'll do it. We'll

804
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 1: have a talking Cowboys party. It'll be a whole thing. Uh.

805
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: But man, remember remember yeah, no, once again, I'm a

806
00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: man of my word. Okay, Zaiah, I missed it. I'm

807
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 1: gonna lose all credibility. Boy. Yeah you will. Oh, you

808
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 1: absolutely will. Um You'll be the homer of the of

809
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: the group for sure. Uh Okay, Isaiah said, Sam Francisco

810
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: over Baltimore in the Super Bowl is his prediction. I

811
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: think the Chiefs. I think the Chiefs will get back

812
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl and I think they'll go up

813
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: against the Saints, and I think the Chiefs will win.

814
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 1: And I even put a score on it, I said, Uh,

815
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,839
Speaker 1: I said forty to twenty one. Chiefs over Saints. Back

816
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:36,240
Speaker 1: to back Super Bowl champions Wow. The Cowboys, I'm with Rob.

817
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 1: It's got to be the continent naughty. Here's the thing.

818
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: I'll pretty I'll make a prediction here about the Cowboys.

819
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: I think they make it to a championship game and

820
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 1: they just lose to the Saints. That's my prediction. I

821
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: think they'll make the run. I don't think they'll go

822
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: all the way. That's my only thing. He didn't even

823
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 1: have any words. He didn't even have words at the moment. Okay,

824
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: let's look at some day Cowboy. There you go. I

825
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: love it really quickly. We're already over time. But Sunday's matchup. Heckma,

826
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: who you got Cowboys? Okay, rob Cowboys? Twenty seven high

827
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 1: scoring game Cowboys. Oh, this is gonna make me look

828
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: really bad here then. Um, I love the Cowboys and

829
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 1: I just predicted them to go eleven and five. This

830
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: is gonna be one of those five losses. And I

831
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 1: say it's gonna be thirty four thirty Rams, and I'm

832
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: not happy about it, but I've got that gut feeling.

833
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: We've got an article coming up on cowboys dot com

834
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 1: that is gut feeling and I explain my pick, So

835
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:39,280
Speaker 1: go check that out. But I am picking the Rams.

836
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: Thirty four to thirty is my score. I will hopefully

837
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: be totally wrong on Monday, and you guys can make

838
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 1: fun of me, because if that's the case, then I

839
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 1: might have to pick them to lose the rest of

840
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: the year. If they If the Cowboys come out and win,

841
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 1: and I'm happy taking that bullet if I need to.

842
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: But guys, it's been a ton of fun. I want

843

857
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,760
Speaker 1: I'll take that. I'll take that bullet. I made the prediction.

858
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,839
Speaker 1: If they lose, then I'm right. If they If they win,

859
