10
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: Derek is, but I know he's somewhere. That's got to

11
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: be really really important because he hates the misshow especially

12
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: game week. Not more important than his show, his baby. Yeah,

13
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: but that's why. Wherever he is, that's really really important.

00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: But he's not gonna be with us today for sure.

15
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,840

20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: knew that was gonna happen I had a feeling. Have

21
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: you played that? Have you played that one before? Of

22
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: course I just knew they was gonna play that one,

23
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: but really we rarely have three people, so I really

24
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: have a time that I can do it. I love it.

25
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,679

29
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: little bit about um, just what kind of what's been

30
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: going on to It's kind of weird because there's not

31
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: a ton and like last week it was who's your

32
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: running back going to be? I mean, who you know?

33
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: How long is he gonna be playing? Is he gonna

34
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: be here? Is you gonna miss six games? And your

35
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: backup quarterback and all this stuff? And now it's kind

36
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: of like, all right, please don't suggest to me that

37
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: you're like board my bored. I'm just saying it's it's nice.

38
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: I gonna say I like it this. It's not bored.

39
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: I like it. I like it. No, I like it

40
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: as well. When I'm writing down what we're going to

41
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: talk about, and I've got Anthony Brown on my on

42
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: my list here. I mean that's that's a good thing. Yeah,

43
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: it is finally some peace and quiet. Let a beast

44
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: and quiet. Now we're going the other way here because

45
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: before before we know it is going to be. Yeah, today,

46
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna happen to all right. It always usually

47
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: starts with injuries. So let's just kind of run down

48
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: real quick. Orlando Scandrick, Terrence Williams, Chittabay Woozier. That's pretty

49
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: much the three that came out of the game. Yes,

50
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: are we expecting I know we'll see today a practice.

51
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: We always always say this, and we got about an

52
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: hour ago. But Jordan Lewis, but he's Jordan Lewis, He's

53
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: been there. What are we expecting of those four guys?

54
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: And they kind of are tied together since three of

55
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: them are cornerbacks? What would you if you had to

56
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: guess right now? Would you say Scandrick maybe the only

57
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: one to miss for sure? No Scandrick at all? Who

58
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: am I? Who is the Terrence? Terrence? I feel complete

59
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: confidence he'll play, but I bet he'll be limited or

60
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: sit today because it's Wednesday and Cheeto, I'll throw a

61
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: limited on him, like, I just, you know, I don't

62
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: know see what he can do. That sucked. I really

63
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: I went back and watch the game, and I mean

64
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: it was just such a nothing pass and yeah, they

65
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: weren't doing anything and the Giants really weren't even gonna score.

66
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: And then he gets hurt, like I get and I

67
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: don't know. It's it's bad to speculate on injuries until

68
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: you have concrete information. But I don't have a vibe

69
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: like he's gonna miss playing time. May if he if

70
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: he doesn't do anything in practice today, maybe it'll just

71
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: again it's Wednesday, you know, cautionary, We'll talk a little

72
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: bit more about the cornerback position. We're going to kind

73
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: of go through each position here in a little bit

74
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: before at the end of this segment, but talk about

75
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,839
Speaker 1: the cornerback position. Anthony Brown. And there wasn't a whole

76
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: lot going on in the locker room yesterday, which is

77
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: there never is Tuesday. That's kind of the way it is.

78
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown did say something kind of interesting. He was

79
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: talking about turnovers. He has the only turnover for the

80
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys this year. But he was talking about the fact

81
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: that that Rod Marinelli basically challenged the whole defense and

82
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: said the goal this year for turnovers is forty. Yeah,

83
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: you just told me that before zero. I was not

84
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: there when he said that, because I was I was

85
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: doing TV stuff. A little high, that's absurd, or a

86
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: little behind. That's where they are right now. They're they're

87
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: at one. That's absurd. They didn't have forty and twenty

88
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: fourteen when they were actually getting all kinds of takeaways.

89
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: I think they had thirty four. Well, this isn't like

90
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 1: our HR system where you know, you just throw some

91
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: goals out there to try to get the mean you

92
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: want to get some goals so you can lofty goals. Yeah,

93
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: I mean if this team forces forty takeaways, then that

94
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: they were probably a super Bowl caliber team. I mean,

95
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: if you mix this offense with that type of ability

96
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: to get the ball, that's a super Bowl recipe. You know.

97
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: The about the one turnover that that they had, Um,

98
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: that was a t that was an encouraging play. I

99
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: mean that we haven't seen that that kind of you know,

100
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: that kind of play on the ball from a defensive

101
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 1: back in a long time. Yeah, he jumped and Rick

102
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: doesn't make those plays. That's more often, you know, I

103
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: can't play cornerback in the NFL. I'm not trying to

104
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: knock you for picking off a pass, but more often

105
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: than not, when this secondary has gotten turnovers, it's just

106
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: been because you know, Aaron Rodgers didn't see Barry Church

107
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: and threw it right to him, or Eli literally threw

108
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: it right to Brandon Carr or um, what's the other

109
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: big one that I'm forgetting? I mean, remember Orlando Scandrick.

110
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: I think maybe his last pick was against the Bears

111
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen, and Jay Cutler didn't see him sitting

112
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: in the flat like you don't see him making plays

113
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: on balls. Orlando McClain against the Dolphins, where it's just

114
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, um, or well Mo. Last year he had

115
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: that pick of Blaine Gabbard. I think it was again

116
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: he was burned. It was. It was a badly thrown ball.

117
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he made the play on it, but you not.

118
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: You don't see Dallas cornerbacks jump routes and read people's

119
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: eyes and cut in front. And Anthony Brown did that

120
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: on Sunday night though, So it was a it was

121
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: an impressive and an encouraging He almost lost it too, Yeah,

122
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: almost got away from a I amost really sure donned

123
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: that they didn't review that play right, honestly. All right.

124
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: Another thing that came from the locker room, which is interesting.

125
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: You're starting to see t shirts and memes and all

126
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: that stuff about Cole Beasley and the catch. Cole was

127
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: asked about it, you know, in typical Coal fashion. He

128
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: was kind of downplated. He hadn't really you know, He's

129
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: gotten a lot of people saying, hey, great catch, and

130
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,119
Speaker 1: he says, oh, thank you. He said, I have mixed

131
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: feelings about this play because if I really would have

132
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: done my job right and it would have never happened. Yeah,

133
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: you know, if I would have get turned around made

134
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: the catch clean, you know. He and that's a perfectionist

135
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: right there. He doesn't look at it like, oh, I

136
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: made this awesome catch. He shouldn't have had to tip

137
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: at two times to himself. Yeah, he said that on Sunday.

138
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: He said, uh, like Witten was the hot read and

139
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: it like he was like, it was so obvious that

140
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: that's where the vall should go. Basically that that I

141
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: figured it was going to him, and then I had

142
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: turned around late and saw it coming to me, and

143
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: if I'd look back half a second earlier, it would

144
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: have just been an easy catch and instead, you know,

145
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: all that, all those theatrics. It's funny. All the fans,

146
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: fans are going nuts, media is going nuts. The players

147
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: sort of the receivers, that's what they do. Like they

148
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: see that in practice all the time, you know. I mean,

149
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: Bryce Butler talked about it, and it's like not not

150
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: to like downplay it. It's just that they have seen

151
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: these type of things. I mean, Odell Beckham, I guarantee

152
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: that catchy made against the Cowboys two years ago, three

153
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: years ago, three seas seasons as I guarantee that, like

154
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: they've seen this type of stuff all the time. You know,

155
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: it's just unfortunately it's kind of become second agent. Now

156
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: it happened in a game. It's a little different. I

157
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: will say, I'm not trying to take anything away from

158
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: Coal whatsoever. But I had a guy email me and say, well, why,

159
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: First he said, why isn't this Coal catch being blown

160
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: out of proportion the way that Odell Beckham's catch was.

161
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: First of all, I think it is getting a hefty

162
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: amount of publicity it is or whatever that it was

163
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: number one on Sports Center. Second of all, and he

164
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: said it's a better catch than Odell's catch. That's what

165
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: this guy told me today, and it's not. I'm sorry,

166
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: I don't care what you say. A touchdown too. DALs

167
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: was for a touchdown from fifty yards away and he

168
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 1: caught it with the pads of his fingertips fifty yards away.

169
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: That's that's that is the key. I mean that ball

170
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: is coming from I mean it's coming down too, so

171
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: I mean the hand strength that it took to catch

172
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: it like that, And yeah, that was a better That

173
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: was a better catch in my opinion, and this one

174
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: was it was. This was a fantastic catch. And I

175
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: don't think you can undersell how important, how important it was.

176
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: I think Jason Garrett said that Monday too, was that

177
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: it was third and six and obviously the Giants didn't

178
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: wind up scoring, but we didn't know that at the time,

179
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: and it kept the ball moving. And you know, I mean,

180
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: if they had had to punt right there, New York

181
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: probably gets pretty good fuel position with a chance to

182
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: make it sixteen to ten, I think with six or

183
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: seven minute or no like eight or nine minutes left.

184
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: So I actually put that on my five plays. Don't

185
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: forget about five plays, which usually it doesn't have a

186
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: Sports Center top ten, top number one play on there.

187
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: But it wasn't about the catch from Beasley. It was

188
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: about what you just said, what it did to extend

189
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: that drive, because I did look at it. With nine

190
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: minutes to go, they got the ball at their own ten.

191
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: They probably would have had the ball at eleven minutes

192
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: to go around their own thirty thirty five forty. It's

193
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: a pretty big different difference there when they're trying to

194
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: come in there. So, but it's not a better catch

195
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: than no Deels. Sorry I don't think it is either,

196
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: but it's a it's a different type of catch too

197
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: because he had his feet and bounds and you know,

198
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: to stay on the sideline and do all that. It

199
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: just just secured it though. I mean, it wasn't like

200
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: it's very easy to be bobbling that ball like there

201
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: when it's bouncing around your full up box. Yeah, so

202
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: he did a nice job with that. Okay, let's move

203
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: on a little bit to um some of the you know,

204
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: yesterday we were talking about We've been talking two days

205
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 1: about the backup running back, talking about Darren McFadden all that. Yep,

206
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: So I talked I got a chance to talk to

207
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: a couple of people yesterday and I was like, let

208
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: mean some inside sources, let me just see what's what's

209
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: really happening here the word here, and it's really nothing

210
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: new than what kind of we had talked about. There's

211
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: people that believe that that that offered. Morris outplayed McFadden

212
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: in the preseason, so it was it was like he

213
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: kind of had earned it. But I think the notion

214
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 1: that McFadden is a better blocker, while he might be

215
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: in his career, that was the issue right there. There

216
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: were times in practice, there was a time in a

217
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: game where he absolutely missed the read, just just didn't

218
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: get didn't get the great guy, and so his blocking

219
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: was something that they were concerned about, um at the

220
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: last preseason game he played, and then some some into

221
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 1: practice as well. So this thing about Morris isn't a

222
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: good block erb mcfatten is much better. That either has

223
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: changed or it was temporarily changed. They know that he's

224
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: got more juice and he's a quicker, faster player, all that,

225
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: but it was the blocking that they kind of got concerted.

226
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: But it's almost like sounded like a little punishment. Can

227
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: I stir the pot a little bit. Bring it. The

228
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: margin of error? Is that slim for your backup running back?

229
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: But it's clearly not that slim for your backup quarterback. Oh,

230
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: it's clearly not. I mean, yeah, I mean we got

231
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: a month worth of tape on that, but hey, whatever

232
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: that's there. Well, well it's two veterans. Yeah, I mean

233
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: it is two veterans. I mean that's like I guess

234
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: it's saying, wow, Amber, Amber making that point, doesn't well,

235
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the one thing they keep talking about.

236
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: It's like a veteran versus a rookie, and they rather

237
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: be safe with the veterans. And you're talking about Morris

238
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: and yeah Badden, who well, no you're not. You're talking

239
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: you're talking about quarterback. But when you're talking about, yeah,

240
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: two running backs who've both been playing in the NFL

241
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: for the better part of a decade or more in

242
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: McFadden's case, I mean, I guess it really is only

243
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: a matter of a couple of goofs and that it's

244
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: kind of weird when you think about that. Alfred Morris

245
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: is only like four years away from yeah, like a

246
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: almost a seventeen hundred yards season. It was sixteen hundred

247
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: and twenty twelve, thirteen hundred and twenty thirteen and like

248
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: eleven hundred, like he steadily went down every year. Yeah,

249
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: he's gone down every year. But but that first year

250
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: is more than what Zeke did, right, I believe so,

251
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: like by a by him by a hair yea like

252
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: sixteen thirty eight and rookie rushing record, I believe. I

253
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: don't know if it's not it's not the rookie rookie

254
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: rookie rushing rights. Yeah, let's just so based on what

255
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: we saw against the Giants, do you think the Cowboys

256
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: are going to keep that the way it was with

257
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: Morris as the second guy? My first thought would be,

258
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: it's you should change it. But if that is an issue,

259
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: if they really feel like the blocking is an issue,

260
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: it's only the blitz and the rush is only gonna

261
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: get a little bit worse this week, So you would

262
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: change it. What about you? If no, I wouldn't change it.

263
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: If well, and I think you just said you wouldn't either,

264
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: I mean I think I would. I think what they're

265
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: trying to do is get his attention. I think that's

266
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: what they're trying to the Number four overall pick from

267
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,599
Speaker 1: it nine years ago or whatever. He's not used to

268
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 1: being inactive. I think they got his attention. I would

269
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: play him this week, but if that is a concern,

270
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: if blocking is a concern, and I would leave it

271
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: the way it is against this team, because, yeah, it's

272
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: gonna it's not gonna be fun out there. Although you

273
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: could argue McFadden's quick and he's got some receiver abilities,

274
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 1: so maybe he gives you like an outlet, you know,

275
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: for some passing yards and stuff like that. But anybody

276
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: that's gonna help me block is who I want playing

277
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: against this team. I think that a lot of it

278
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: too is And I know the fans are not gonna

279
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: like this, but I think it's it's true. They just

280
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: love this guy, Alfred Morris. They love it. But Alfred

281
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: Morris brings to the team. Now. He might be limited

282
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: in some ways, but from work, ethic, attitude, just being

283
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: a professional football player, this guy is as good as

284
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: it gets. He really is. I mean, he does the

285
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: everything the right way. And I know that people don't

286
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: want to hear that kind of stuff, but it does

287
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: matter when you're talking about, Hey, this guy's done everything

288
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: we've asked him to do. He deserves the right to play.

289
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: You know, we're talking about a few snaps here and there,

290
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: let's go with it. And I think that that does

291
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: factor in. I think at the end of the day,

292
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: and I don't I don't think there's gonna be a

293
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: set plan for this, Like you kind of get the

294
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: idea that Kellen Moore is going to be the backup

295
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: unless something crazy happens. But I really wouldn't be surprised

296
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: if they mix and match this and you know, one

297
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: guy's up because he had the better week, or one

298
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: guy's down because it's a better matchup for the other guy.

299
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: And I So either way, I think you're gonna look

300
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: and say, well, Morris this week, maybe he could have

301
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: done more against this team. McFadden sat, I wonder what

302
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: he would have done. I mean, it's always it's going

303
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: to be a tough decision because they're they're interchangeable at

304
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: the end of the day. In my mind, yeah, and

305
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: I don't think they're that much different, Like they played differently,

306
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: but the results are not very different, and the sample

307
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: size isn't large enough for me to really get worked

308
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: up about it either, because I don't think either one

309
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: of them is ever going to have more than six

310
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: or seven carries in a game. Well, the good news

311
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: is is that a few weeks ago, even a few

312
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: days ago, we thought we would really be talking about

313
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: Morris and McFadden for this Broncos game, And now we're

314
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: talking about who's going to get the three to four

315
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: carries and not you know how many reps stuft they

316
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: would take, because I guarantee if Zeke was not playing,

317
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: it would be this would be a huge deal. Yeah,

318
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: it would be. But I think they would both play

319
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: a lot. I mean, I don't think it would be

320
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: one guy takes the amount that Zeke gets in the

321
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: other way. I think it would be almost the sixty

322
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: forty type split, which it probably should be. So all right,

323
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: let's let's flip over to the linebacker position. I feel

324
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: like yesterday we did talk or the last two days

325
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: we've talked about Jalen Smith some. But I don't know

326
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: if you can still talk about him enough. You know,

327
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: when you just look at at the game that he played,

328
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: and and like you said yesterday, Ember, it's we're getting

329
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: to that point where we're not talking about the injuries

330
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: as much. We're talking about because because he doesn't talk

331
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: about the injury, we're talking about just what kind of

332
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: dynamic player that he can be. So let's talk a

333
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: little bit more about him. What, Dave, what do you

334
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: see kind of from him like moving forward as far

335
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: as just what kind of what kind of player on

336
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: this defense that he can be? I mean, we expecting

337
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: the middle linebacker for years to come. You think that's

338
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: his best position? Do you think you know he's more

339
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: of an outside guy. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna

340
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: raise the bar too high too quickly because he just

341
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: played his first game. But Jerry Jones had a really

342
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: interesting quote yesterday on the radio about how they see

343
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: him becoming a three down line backer just like Sean Lee,

344
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: really handling that role where he never has to come

345
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: off the field. He's athletic enough to do everything you

346
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: need a linebacker to do. Because and you know, as

347
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: great as he was, you saw that in the game

348
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 1: on Sunday, he would I mean he was sprinting on

349
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: and off. They didn't want him obviously. He came out

350
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 1: for dime stuff. He came out a little bit for

351
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: like Deacon and Nickel stuff and had justin Durant come

352
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: on for two plays. So you know, I don't think

353
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: he's quite at that point where he's not coming off

354
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: the field ever, obviously, And I don't think that's gonna

355
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: be the case this year. If I had to guess,

356
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: I think, you know, and like, I can't say enough

357
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: about how impressed I am with how he played, but

358
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,959
Speaker 1: I think you're still gonna be smart with it. You're

359
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 1: still gonna watch him. They only had to play fifty

360
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: three snaps on defense the other night, and he played

361
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: thirty six. But there's gonna be a day where they're

362
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: playing probably sixties seventies snap, you know, a much higher

363
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: snap count, and I don't think you want to expose

364
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: him to that too quickly. Sorry, And you've got Anthony

365
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 1: Hitchins coming back back one point here. I mean they

366
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: said eights. It might be a little bit sooner than that.

367
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: Someone told me the other day he jumped off the

368
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: bus to get to the game, Like he basically just

369
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: two feet jumped off the bus. That seems like that

370
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: seems ill advised, but yeah, good sign, a good sign,

371
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: but maybe ill advised. Yeah, hopefully there wasn't a setback there,

372
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: you know. Talking more about Jalen it's almost like when

373
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: you listen to him and he's he's an impressive guy

374
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: to just listen to, it's like he basically willed himself

375
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: back to this point like where he is right now,

376
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: like absolutely no negative energy, no thoughts of I'm not

377
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: ever gonna make it. It was just not if, but

378
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: when I will be back and I'm ready, and like

379
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 1: nothing would ever get in his way. It's just it's

380
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 1: an amazing journey. The fact of like he was not

381
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 1: going to take no for an answer to get back

382
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: on the field, and that helps a lot. And one

383
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: of the things that I was really impressed about the

384
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 1: game against the Giants is we've heard the Cowboys kind

385
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: of say how they're going to rotate him and Duran

386
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: and just think of them as one player. Just the

387
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: amount of time playing time that they gave Jalen out

388
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: there says a law, especially with how careful they've been

389
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: with him throughout this whole journey. Yeah, no, go ahead.

390
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 1: Oh I just saw you having a face that you're

391
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: about I'm I'm getting ready, but go ahead. No, No,

392
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: I'm just overall, I'm just really excited and super impressed

393
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: with the outcome so far. And I think. I mean,

394
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: he's done a great job, and honestly, when I see

395
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: him from practice, the relationship he has with Shaun Lee,

396
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: I just think of him as a young version of

397
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: Shaun Lee went on the field and I said that

398
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: before the season started, he blew me away with the

399
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: progress that he made to the point where probably in

400
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: June or July, I still wasn't sure what he would be.

401
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: And now at this point, I really do think he's

402
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: capable of being an everyday starter, Pro Bowl caliber player

403
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: just a matter of whin though, like he's not gonna

404
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 1: He's still not going to be that this week or

405
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: next month. I don't think. I think that's in the future,

406
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: but my confidence is at an all time high that

407
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: that's going to happen. And the thing that I thought

408
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: was really interesting, Jason Garrett talked about that, you know,

409
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: they went into this game with a plan to split

410
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: those guys and they really didn't. And Garrett said something

411
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: along you know, the long lines of well, you know,

412
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: games kind of unfold differently than how you anticipate, and

413
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: it just so happened that, you know, we wound up

414
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 1: in more of these situations where Jalen could stay out

415
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: there and blah blah blah blah blah. But the thing

416
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: that I took from it was, well, that's really encouraging

417
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: because like if you didn't think he could handle that,

418
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: then it wouldn't matter, like you would have put Durant

419
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: in right, like you would have found a way to

420
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: get him off the field. But they're just like, well, yeah,

421
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: just let him roll with it. He's fine. And the

422
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 1: fact that in week one he can be in a

423
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: spot where you kind of play differently than you were

424
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: expecting to just based on the situation on the field,

425
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: and not really be worried about his leg, that's pretty

426
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: that's pretty great, especially when you when you think about

427
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: week one, if if you would have told us that

428
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: Zeke would come off the field more for Alfred Morris

429
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: than Jalen Smith did. Yeah, justin Duran Seriously, that's that's

430
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: that's impressive. I mean, like you said, we're at a

431
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 1: and and you can't forget about it completely, and they

432
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: definitely haven't, and they're gonna keep that in mind with

433
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: everything that they do with him. But it's almost in

434
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: a spot where you don't have to think about whether

435
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: he can physically handle it. Like I said, I mean they,

436
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: I guarantee you they weren't planning on him playing sixty

437
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: seven percent of the snaps, which is what he wound

438
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: up getting. All right, we're gonna take our break here,

439

510
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,720

511
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 1: some people are not talking about what's going with Macca

512
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: Doude's hair. Dude, he looked like Carvey Kite Talon fort

513
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: Poke Fitchen or if he's going for that, Paul Riley

514
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: and their offensive life is Mac the doodo by the way,

515
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: and uh I'm best. Yeah, people don't mastay at Charles Tafford,

518
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: God bless you go cowboys. All right, thank you? No

519
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: secrets on the show, Like what's going on now? Okay,

520
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 1: I think he said Tapper played well, that played well,

521
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: good job. Something about just said something like you don't

522
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: read faces very well. He's played. No, he did not

523
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: say that. What did he say? Don't worry about it,

524
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: all right? Any any guy that can make a reference

525
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: to Eric b Ornson on the show, I think that's

526
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: always good. You guys don't know who that is. I

527
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 1: don't know about all these compliments he gave, that's right,

528
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: he did. I don't know about eating what guys eat

529
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 1: for dinner or whatever. But just if you're gonna talk

530
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: about Eric Bjornson and Woody Danceler on the show, that's

531
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: that's bringing it back. It's old school. I know you

532
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: couldn't spell orson I bet I could, but you know,

533
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: that's there's there's not a lot of vows in there. Um,

534
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: his point was about the hairdo of the I think

535
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: he just wanted to get in and make a call.

536
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: I think he just wanted to talk to you and

537
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: to be honest. Yeah, all right, Mike, And I mean,

538
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: we don't even know half of the stuff that he said.

539
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 1: All right, let's go on, Let's get into the Broncos.

540
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: Talk a little bit um in this game and their

541
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: their offense. They get a lot of they get a

542
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: lot of talk about their defense, and rightfully so one

543
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl a couple of years ago. But

544
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: their offense though, and that if the first game is

545
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: any indication that they'll be able to do some things. Uh.

546
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: The quarterback, I thought looked looked pretty good out there.

547
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: You know, he's making moves, like you said, he was

548
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 1: running the ball around the goal line, making throws. He

549
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: kind of extended plays with his feat. So, Dave, looking

550
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 1: at their offense, what are some things that kind of

551
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: stand out the most real quick? I just I want

552
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: to note this because it is important. I don't think

553
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: it's quite on the level of m Odell Beckham's ankle

554
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: last week, but the Cowboys are excuse me, The Broncos

555
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 1: are facing three at least somewhat significant injuries. Are our guy,

556
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: Ron Leary, the starting right guard, is in concussion protocol

557
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 1: right now, so keep an eye on him. That's that's

558
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: not a good indicator in today's NFL. Most guys aren't

559
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: playing a week after a concussion. Um. I mean, you

560
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 1: never know for sure, but so keep an eye on

561
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: Big Ron. That's something to watch. Then their defense has

562
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 1: two injuries, starting safety Darien Stewart, who played like a

563
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: man on fire on Monday night. He's got a groin injury.

564
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: He is. His status is up in the air, as

565
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: is Brendan Langley, who's their fourth corner. So that's three,

566
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: three guys they would probably prefer to have, especially Leary

567
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: and Stuart. So that's worth watching. That'll unfold as the

568
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: week goes on, I'm sure. But yeah, if I'm a

569
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: Broncos fan, I gotta be pretty psyched about what I

570
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: saw on Monday night. Given that you know that your

571
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: bread and butter as your defense, you know that they're

572
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: the reason why you're going places. So if I can

573
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: get a ninety four quarterback rating out of Trevor Simeon,

574
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: and that's all this gnashing of teeth about the quarterback.

575
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's John Elway, but seventeen to twenty eight,

576
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: two hundred nineteen yards and two touchdowns as well as

577
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown, so he helped account for all of

578
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: their touchdowns on Monday night. Looked I mean he looked.

579
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: He looked incredibly confident in my opinion, that's I watched

580
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: it obviously. I mean, they got twenty four points, they

581
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: kind of let San Diego back into the game, and

582
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: then the thing that I thought was really impressive, San

583
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: Diego comes back to cut it to a three point game.

584
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: He gets the ball and moved him right down not

585
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: just in fuel goal range, but easy fuel goal range,

586
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: with I think three plays. I mean that the ball

587
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: he hit down the seam to his tight end. I

588
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: don't remember which one it was. I think it was.

589
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: Was it Derby? Derby, the old Arkansas guy. Yeah, it

590
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: wasn't foul, It wasn't him, But I mean, I know

591
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: exactly what you're talking about. It made a great answer

592
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: to yea, to the momentum that was shifting, and then

593
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: and the confidence that they put on him to say, hey,

594
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: let's go down there. Let's turn this thing around. Well,

595
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: fittingly enough, they got down there and were immediately sacked

596
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: out of fuel goal range, which maybe you put a

597
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: little bit of that on Simeon for you know, feel awareness.

598
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: You can't take a sack in a situation like that.

599
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: But I mean that is affect back back to back

600
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: sacks minus six yards Ingram and Bosa and then minus

601
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: thirteen yards Melvin Ingram. Like I said, maybe you put

602
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: a little bit that on Simeon. But then that is

603
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: the other issue for the Denver Broncos is I don't

604
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: have and and granted, you know Melvin Ingram and Joey

605
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: Bosa are great. The Chargers have a very nice pass rush,

606
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: but four sacks, it's probably not what you want to see.

607
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,479
Speaker 1: After trying to rebuild this offensive line. You drafted Garrett

608
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: Bolls in the first round, seventeenth overall to be your

609
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: left tackle. You signed Ron Leary to a big time

610
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: contract at right guard, and then they brought in Minelick Watson,

611
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,239
Speaker 1: who was a draft pick with the Raiders for a

612
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: long time. So this is a completely new look offensive line.

613
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: You would think better given the money that you gave

614
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: Leary and the fact that Bowls is a first round pick. Utah,

615
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: that's right, I think, and I think he and he's

616
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: he's the older guy, like he's ancient by first round

617
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: pick standards. He's like twenty five, I think. But um,

618
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: and I think he acquitted himself fairly well for the

619
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: most part. But your quarterbacks getting sacked four times in

620
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: the season open around almost get the film that their

621
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: their offense is like the Cowboys defense. It's like, we're

622
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: not asking you to go win the game, don't mess

623
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: up the game, and anything you can do will probably

624
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: be you know, gravy. So do you guys expect this

625
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: game to turn out kind of similar to what we

626
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: saw against the Giants given the fact that their defense

627
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: it's one of the best both teams for the Broncos

628
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: and the Giants their offensive line not the greatest. Now,

629
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: when you talk about the Broncos quarterback, you mentioned all

630
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: the things he did, But me personally, I still think

631
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: he's a little shaky. He you know, he still needs

632
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: to improve his game. But don't get and I mean

633
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys clearly have the edge in that department. I

634
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: mean the Cowboys quarterbacks a little Shaky's true. She doesn't

635
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: like Dak either. No, no, no, I do like Dak.

636
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,479
Speaker 1: Let's just make that clear. I just thought I know

637
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: how he can play, and he didn't play up to

638
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: his highest level. And I think that, you know, we

639
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: talked about this before. Good defenses make people make quarterbacks play,

640
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: you know, off their game a little bit. And then

641
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: here's another one right here. But it will get to

642
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,959
Speaker 1: the Broncos defense tomorrow a little bit. But to answer

643
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: your question, I don't see it being like that. I

644
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: definitely think Denver will score more than a field goal.

645
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: I think it'll be a game more into the twenties.

646
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: I know that their defense is better, and it's a

647
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: good aggressive defense, but they give up the run and

648
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: that's something that Cowboys do very well, and so I

649
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: think that I think that it'll I could see this

650
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: game being a lot more like the Pittsburgh game a

651
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: few years ago or last year than the Giants game.

652
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,719
Speaker 1: I would be fairly surprised if both of these teams

653
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: got into the thirties. But I am I mean, I

654
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: said twenty four to twenty for the Giants game. That

655
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: was my score prediction. I think it'll be something along

656
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: those lines, you know. And yeah, I mean, the Cowboys

657
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,959
Speaker 1: have the edge here, but I think and granted I

658
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: never would have thought the Giants would only score three

659
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: points honestly, but you look up and down this this roster.

660
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:14,959
Speaker 1: I mean Damarius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders. That's and build there,

661
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: both of whom are completely healthy, unlike Odell Beckham. It's

662
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: to me, that is what I would prefer in a

663
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: receiving corps. If you if you could get it the

664
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: way you want it. I like that. I like the big, veteran,

665
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: possession type guy who can still go deep and make

666
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: big plays. And Thomas and then you're you're speedy underneath.

667
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: You know, Sanders guy that that could also can also

668
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: be some explosive over the top plays. I mean, both

669
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: of those guys, I mean, I just think they compliment

670
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: each other. Well, um, I kind of think the Cowboys

671
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: have similar guys in there one too. I think Terrence

672
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,959
Speaker 1: and Desert a little closer than that. Of course, they

673
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: have Beasley, which changes things. But Denver's running game not

674
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: not bad at all, bad night, whatever whatever you want

675
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: to say about them allowing four sacks. Broncos running backs

676
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: ran for four yards a carry against San Diego thirty

677
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: six carries on the night for one hundred and forty yards,

678
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 1: which is a tick under four yards a carry. But

679
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give Trevor Simeon a little bit of credit

680
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: there because he carried six times and joked Joey Bosa

681
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. So I don't think that's the end

682
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: of the world. I loved his answer too about that play.

683
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: I don't think I saw it, but they were talking

684
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 1: about him getting him on the on the goal line

685
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: and all that, and he said, well, he said, what

686
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: you know, one of the questions was that you you

687
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: you know, shook Joey Bosa there and all that. You know,

688
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 1: we got anything to say about that? He said, yeah,

689
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: well we play him again, so, um, you know, I'm

690
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: not really gonna say anything about that. That's smart. He knows.

691
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: Trevor Simeon went to Northwestern. He is not a dummy.

692
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: He's probably faced Bosa before. I don't know. Maybe Simeon

693
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: was undrafted. I think in fourteen, maybe maybe thirteen. I

694
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: didn't Actually I didn't do this today. I didn't have time,

695
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go back. I'm curious. We all know

696
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: about Paxton Lynch. He's not going to play a role

697
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: in this game, which is all kinds of ironic. I mean,

698
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: there's a story right there. But I thought about that

699
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 1: this week. What I really want to know is who

700
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: is the who's the draft pick that the Cowboys have?

701
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: I actually, I think I just know that off the

702
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: top of my head. The Cowboys have MALIEK. Collins because

703
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 1: they were not willing to give it up to get

704
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,439
Speaker 1: Paxston Lynch. That was the third. It was the third

705
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 1: that not right, well, Jalen Smith too, because they were

706
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 1: trying to trade back into the first round. Yeah, they

707
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: would have had to give it up that second round

708
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: pick there. I thought it was I guarantee that they

709
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: were trying to give up forty yeah, and then to

710
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: get in there and then it was it was the

711
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 1: third or a fourth round pick. Probably they probably wanted

712
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 1: to give up the fourth, and they that Denver wanted

713
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: their third, That's right. So they were willing to give

714
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: up Tap and Jalen Smith knowing that they weren't going

715
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: to play, and they was like, no, we want hypothe

716
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: so well, but jayl I mean, but it's not hypothetical

717
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: to say Jayalen Smith and Elite Collins are probably on

718
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: this team because Paxton Lynch is not exactly Yeah, and

719
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: Dak as well, and well and Dak yes the important part.

720
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you just wrote yourself a story. I don't

721
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: know when you're gonna be able to fit it in, yeah,

722
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: or maybe your column. I'll throw that into my collegne.

723
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,280
Speaker 1: That that is. I mean, it's almost like the trade

724
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: that wasn't. Yeah. You know, that's why the draft is

725
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: so fascinating to me, because every team can point to

726
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: something like that every year and yeah, this is what

727
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: we could have had. It's amazing. Um Damarius Thomas honestly

728
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: not a great night by his standards. Eight targets, five catches,

729
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 1: sixty seven yards, and he had a really bad drop

730
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 1: on a second down in the second half, and then

731
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 1: came right back and put them position in the red

732
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: zone right after that. So I know, I mean, I know,

733
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: they just very successfully defended Brandon Marshall. But I all

734
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: always worry about these big body guys. Um, take your pick.

735
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: I think da Marius Thomas missed a ton of time

736
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: off in the training camp in preseason games. It just

737
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: he was battling an injury. I don't remember what it was,

738
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: hip maybe or something like that, So they didn't know

739
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 1: for sure if he was going to play until maybe

740
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: a couple of days before the game. Let's let's think

741
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: about this though, because let's I mean, Orlando Scandrick's not

742
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: going to play in this game, that's my guess. So

743
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,720
Speaker 1: that leaves you with Anthony Brown, Nolan Carroll, and Cheeto

744
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: Woozier hopefully maybe Jordan Lewis. To deal with these guys,

745
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 1: you gotta throw Ben Wickery in there. I just mean,

746
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 1: until you see for sure that Lewis and Wusier, you're

747
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: really concerned about the seventh rond Is it the seventh

748
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:49,240
Speaker 1: round pick? Who's that for? Ben Wickery? Oh? Oh yes,

749
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: yes it is. I think the seventh round pick. All right,

750
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: so you don't get the draft of Moud Dixon. Good point.

751
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 1: I mean or guy though, that was your guy. He

752
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: was he was for a while. Um how about you

753
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 1: know who else was in that draft when they when

754
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 1: they took five, they took five seventh rounders. He saw

755
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: them tho they playing for the Chiefs. Terrence Mitchell, Yeah,

756
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: still playing, still holding, still getting pis. But he's out there.

757
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: He had a rough night, but he is starting in

758
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: the NFL. So anything else on the offense we want

759
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: to go to. Well, I'm I'm I'm just sitting here wondering. Really,

760
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: who's dealing with Damarus Thomas? Oh yeah, I think well,

761
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,919
Speaker 1: between Anthony Brown and Cheeto, I think you can hand

762
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 1: not handle, because he's really good. But Emmanuel Sanders I

763
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: can see that. But on a cornerback group, this small

764
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: Damarius Thomas is basically a tight end as far as

765
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: I see it. So what are you doing with this guy?

766
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: I want? And I wonder what they will do? Right,

767
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: Rod Marinelli's not really the type to travel, and you

768
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: need Anthony Brown to play in the slot, probably if

769
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: Orlando Scandric can't play right. I don't know, though, I

770
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:54,879
Speaker 1: it's a it's a tough task for a guy that's

771
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 1: never played at all. But I think it might be

772
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 1: one where they throw Jordan Jordan Lewis out there. Do

773
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: you think so? Maybe I was I would welcome to

774
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 1: the league, get in there, or maybe well you're saying

775
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: throw Jordan into the slot, Yeah I could. Actually, that's

776
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 1: not the worst thing I've ever heard, is if you're

777
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 1: asking Jordan Lewis to play the slot, and then that

778
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 1: frees you up to move Anthony Brown to deal with

779
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: wrys Thomas. That'll be interesting. I can live with that.

780
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 1: I would imagine it might be a situation where they

781
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: go a little bit longer there, Like maybe Lewis and

782
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: Ben Wickery are active. Yeah, maybe Xavier Woods isn't at

783
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: safety or I know they like to do the four

784
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: safeties there, but it might be a situation where you

785
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: just do three if you can get away with it.

786
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 1: I could see it. Maybe maybe shoot Jay. We'll get

787
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,720
Speaker 1: to an active later in the week. Jay Ron Elliott

788
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: didn't play anyway last week. Yeah, trying to get that

789
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,439
Speaker 1: draft pick back. All right, let's go to the phone

790
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 1: line here, Let's go to Peyton. I'm not sure where

791
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: you're from, but Peyton. Hey, how's it going guys? Hey,

792
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 1: where are you from? Minnesota? Awesome? Right, quick question. I'm

793
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: sorry you guys already talked about this. UM. One of

794
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: my biggest concerns with our offense is, I mean, we

795
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: though last year multiple times was dak getting up to

796
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: a slow start, and I think we pulled off some

797
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: really nice comeback wins. But I mean against Green Bay.

798
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 1: When you say some offense like that, I mean, that's

799
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 1: just not gonna cut it. And then my other question

800
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: would be, do you guys think that Anthy Brown is

801
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 1: kind of a gamer? Because I feel like here, like

802
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: your practice season so great, but then the games steps up.

803
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: So that's my questions. Thanks, Okay, I think you've got

804
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:42,280
Speaker 1: selective memory on Dak because you can talk about the Packers.

805
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: You're right that they didn't cut it. He was had

806
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: a slow start there in that game. For sure, the

807
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,959
Speaker 1: whole offense did um and you know, they got down

808
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 1: and they did come back to tide and so they

809
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 1: didn't really lose the game because of that, but sure

810
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: would have been nice. But I think if you go

811
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: back and look at the season, I thought Dak actually

812
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: was pretty good in some games where w wasn't it

813
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: like the first seven or eight games and that they

814
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:07,919
Speaker 1: went down and scored on the first drive. They were

815
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: on a tear there for two or so months where

816
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 1: they did score every first drive. Philadelphia at home. He

817
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 1: did not play well until the end. There was some game,

818
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: you know, maybe Pittsburgh or something. But I'll leave it

819
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 1: to be fair to Peyton. I'll even throw in, um,

820
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: San Francisco. They fell down to nothing in that game.

821
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: I think No. Fourteen nothing. But that was the one game,

822
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 1: the one game out of like the first seven or

823
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: eight where they did not score on the first drive, right,

824
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: and that's because Keith Smith had a full start. Really,

825
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: they're about to get a field goal. But it was

826
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 1: a great memory that happened. I remember, not not really,

827
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, Like that's a lot of games,

828
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 1: and a lot of it was about third down, third

829
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: and two, and he had a false start and then

830
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 1: they got pushed back and Bailey missed a field goal.

831
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: I remember Bailey missing I don't remember the false start.

832
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 1: I think that there are times where he doesn't you know,

833
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 1: the offense hasn't done well, But I don't think it's

834
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 1: a trend. In fact, I think you would say he's

835
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: more prepared than most quarterback, especially rookie quarterbacks. So I'm

836
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: gonna disagree on that. Just when you look at even

837
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 1: considering those touchdowns that he did score, if you look

838
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: at the overall season last year, you would summarize that, yes,

839
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 1: I just want to know where you're going with this,

840
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: you would summarize that, yeah, the first half of the game,

841
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,760
Speaker 1: he did start off very slowly, and he would always

842
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 1: come back the second half and play completely different and

843
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: really move. That's when he really moved the offense. That's

844
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: when they really started scoring in the game. I mean,

845
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: I don't know how you guys don't agree with that.

846
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: I don't think it was all the time. I mean,

847
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:54,439
Speaker 1: I do think there are better but first for all'm

848
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 1: okay with that. Okay with a guy playing better as

849
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: he Oh yeah, yeah, he was a rookie that was

850
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: seeing everything for the first time. Up aside from three

851
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:08,760
Speaker 1: games where you played the division. You're seeing these guys

852
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: for the first time, and I think that he kind

853
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 1: of processes things as they go, you know. I know

854
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 1: he talked about Anthony Brown being a gamer. Dak is

855
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: the equivalent I mean of that he's a gamer. I

856
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: don't think Anthony Brown's a gamer. I think he's just

857
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 1: a good player, good player. He has good practices too.

858
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: I don't picked off. He picked off Tony in his

859
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: first ever practice rep um and and he had a

860
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: great training camp when he was healthy. And yeah he

861
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 1: had a hammy, but and liked we If you compare

862
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: him to the whole Dak situation, I mean he didn't.

863
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 1: He was not a great practice guy. Oh no, no, no no, no, no,

864
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: and so maybe he's kind of seeing that, you know,

865
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 1: kind I'm kind of processing through this as we think

866
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: about it. I mean green Bay was a little bit

867
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: of a slow start because it took that three play

868
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: I'm talking about regular season green Bay, and you know

869
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: they kind of needed that ninety seven yard drive to

870
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:57,879
Speaker 1: get it going right. No no, no no, no, no no,

871
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 1: you're talking about Atlanta last year. Yeah, no way. I

872
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: mean he got the ball, went marched down the field,

873
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: and I remember tweeting like, really, like, lamb all the

874
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: mystique he went, he shoved it right down their throat

875
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: and threw a touchdown to Beasley. I can't keep up

876
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: with his I'm saying, if I remember, that was the

877
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: game where I was like, hey, this guy is not

878
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: phased by anything. He went down the field and threw

879
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 1: a touchdown to Beasley, down and right in front of us,

880
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 1: right there at the I just feel like I remember

881
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: they it had kind of stalled out and then and

882
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: then that three play ninety seven yard drive kind of

883
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,359
Speaker 1: picked it back up. I think if we broke down

884
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: his seventeen sixteen starts Eagle game that was from at

885
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: the end sixteen starts, really maybe seventeen if you count

886
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 1: the playoff, I think he'd have a mixed bag. I

887
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 1: think he'd have five or six one. But I think

888
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: there was a report on this. I think the vast

889
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 1: majority of the time you would say he didn't start slow.

890
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: I mean, they might not have scored on their first

891
00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 1: three drives every week, but I don't think of him

892
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 1: as a slow start. I think it's a little bit.

893
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: I think you'd have some. I think you'd have four

894
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 1: or five average ones. You'd have four or five not

895
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: so great, and four or five really good. Did you

896
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: notice a significant change between the first half versus the

897
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 1: second half in the way he played, or would you

898
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 1: say desively? I really am not as a trend. Oh

899
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 1: my gosh, Oh my god. I'm gonna look into it.

900
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 1: I can't do it right either way. I don't really care,

901
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 1: as you know, I don't care the game. I'm saying,

902
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 1: if you're winning the game, that's all it matters. It

903
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 1: just makes those last two minutes kind of okay. So

904
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:35,840
Speaker 1: we have a game for the borrow. Amber is gonna

905
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: Amber's right down tell us how wrong we are. Yeah,

906
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 1: I hope so forward to it, all right. I think

907
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 1: we need to take a break here. Oh yeah, we

908
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 1: never Yeah, we're gonna take this last break. We'll be

909
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 1: right back here on the break. To work this big land,

910
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,480

Speaker 1: if you want to give us a call real quick.

957
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna kind of go through the positions. I was

958
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 1: just gonna try something that this week and just see

959
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: about sometimes. You know, we'll have week one to week two.

960
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 1: You can see some some changes or some things that

961
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:33,959
Speaker 1: the teams want to have wrinkles. I mean, I would

962
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 1: imagine defensively, the Cowboys would love to just keep the

963
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:40,240
Speaker 1: same thing each week. But if you if you expect

964
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 1: the whole teams to a field goal, then you really

965
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 1: do need to figuring out where the parade's gonna be. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

966
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:48,879
Speaker 1: if if that happens. But let's kind of go through

967
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 1: real quick, just the positions. Do we expect the same

968
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 1: something different? What kind of new wrinkle we we could

969
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 1: um plan to see this week? Maybe somebody playing a

970
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 1: little more. Let's kind of go through a little bit

971
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 1: of quarterback. Do you expect anything obviously we want? I

972
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,839
Speaker 1: mean maybe the quarterback can can start out a little

973
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 1: bit better this one obviously you want. And I'll talk

974
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: to Dak about looking up to your lofty expectation back

975
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: up in changes there, Kellen Moore, I just don't see

976
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 1: how you would make that move to Cooper Rush. I

977
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: mean no, it doesn't they're not changing that as like

978
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: you said, Dave, unless something happens to Dak, then we'll

979
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: see it change. Well even if even that in this game,

980
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 1: I don't want Cooper Rush dealing with von Miller. There

981
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:36,319
Speaker 1: you go right now? Just but but I mean, do

982
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,720
Speaker 1: you want it? Do you want Kellen Moore? Kellen Moore's

983
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,880
Speaker 1: already six seven years into this thing, Like you can't.

984
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:43,959
Speaker 1: He is what he is. You're not going to ruin

985
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: him if von Miller, I don't know. My theory is

986
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 1: is like if you see him how he played in

987
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 1: a preseason game when they're not necessarily the best guys

988
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: out there, you want to put him in. Actually, but

989
00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 1: if if, But that doesn't matter. There's something going to happen, Dak.

990
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm chalking this one up as an l anyway. Yeah, yeah,

991
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 1: about But I'll say this about you're talking about Cooper

992
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 1: Rush doing things against the second and thirteen defenses. Remember,

993
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: he's got a second and third team offensive line blocking

994
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 1: for him, and he's growing a second and thirteen receiver.

995
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:18,359
Speaker 1: So all right, running back? Would there be any changes there?

996
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:24,359
Speaker 1: You see anything like that? Backup changes? No, I'm gonna

997
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: call it. I'm gonna say that. You're gonna say they

998
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 1: go back to twenty Yeah, I'm gonna say they make

999
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: a switch to McFadden. And I honestly, when I was

1000
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 1: telling you, I was talking to some people about that

1001
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: that I didn't get the vibe there. I still feel

1002
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:39,360
Speaker 1: like that they they like Morris, but he did say

1003
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 1: there's more juice, there's more explosiveness, and I think that

1004
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: that will weigh in. So I'm gonna go there. I'm

1005
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 1: gonna ride with alf. They already got a lot of

1006
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 1: juice and explosiveness from their starter. So okay, Okay, um, shoot,

1007
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 1: I would go with Alfred, but I have my doubts

1008
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 1: on this one. I think they might kind of throw

1009
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: McFadden in death in there instead, but I don't know.

1010
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 1: Just based on what we saw from Alfred's Alfred receiver

1011
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: the Terrence, We'll see about Terrence practicing and stuff like that,

1012
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: because if he's banged up, they might want to I mean,

1013
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: if you can afford it. I mean, I don't know

1014
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 1: where you're gonna go, but you might want to go

1015
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 1: a little bit longer there. If you had bringing Noah Brown. Wow,

1016
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 1: I'd have to say I'd make a call on that

1017
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 1: one with with Terrence and say either you can play

1018
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 1: or you can't. I don't see how they can address

1019
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,799
Speaker 1: they can dress six receivers to this game. No, So

1020
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 1: you just have to say based on his confidence that

1021
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 1: he'd be ready to play expletives in all I think.

1022
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe he doesn't practice much this week, but

1023
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 1: I just I'll trust in him to be ready to go.

1024
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 1: I'm staying on that topic real quick. From Twitter with

1025
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: the rust shaking off. Does Desk and Dak have a

1026
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: better connection going on the road? What do you guys?

1027
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 1: Wait there? Do they will they have a better connection

1028
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 1: or are you Are they better on the road, says

1029
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:11,840
Speaker 1: will they have? Oh? Yeah? Um especially I don't know

1030
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 1: way game. I just I just would let it, Let

1031
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:17,839
Speaker 1: it happen, Let it happen with with this, it'll it'll

1032
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,800
Speaker 1: be there. He's too good, he's too good not to

1033
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 1: get involved. Uh you know, it'll it'll, it'll be there.

1034
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,319
Speaker 1: Now to leave and Chris Harris, I mean say this

1035
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:31,280
Speaker 1: secondary I hate watching Bronco games too because the crowd

1036
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 1: always yells incomplete after every incompletion. It drives me nuts, like,

1037
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:36,800
Speaker 1: and that's why they do it is I'm sure it

1038
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 1: drives the opposing team nuts too, But I don't know

1039
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 1: one way to prevent that complete Yeah, complete your passes.

1040
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 1: I mean it feels the same size. I don't think

1041
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: where they're playing really makes that much of a difference

1042
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 1: so much as the matchups. And this is not a

1043
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: favorable one for deaths. So I mean, well, it'll be

1044
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 1: it'll be a ton I mean, it'll obviously be super

1045
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 1: loud there or Denver, and we'll we'll see in practice,

1046
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 1: I would imagine today and tomorrow tomorrow when they go inside,

1047
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:08,720
Speaker 1: we'll probably we'll see the music and the crowd noise,

1048
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 1: you know, cranked up. But there will be a ton

1049
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 1: of cowboy fans too. I don't know if enough to

1050
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 1: make a difference there, but anything, but I mean, based

1051
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,840
Speaker 1: on what I remember from last year, that wasn't something

1052
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 1: that really affected them at all. Just a crowd noise

1053
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:25,759
Speaker 1: a one at Hinz Field. You've got a quarterback who

1054
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 1: has faced bigger crowds in college. I mean, and that

1055
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 1: is a thing that is a big deal. When you

1056
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: go to play in the SEC and you you've played

1057
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: at Alabama and you've played at LSU, they call it

1058
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:40,760
Speaker 1: Death Valley, you know, I mean, and the Swamp and Florida, Florida,

1059
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: and I mean, I mean, and they're all they're all

1060
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 1: tough except for a couple, but um but I'm just

1061
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 1: they can handle Bandy well. You know, I don't think

1062
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 1: Vandy and Ducky are preparing are preparing you to play

1063
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL. But all the other ones are really loud.

1064
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 1: And I think that and he kind of said that,

1065
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: you know, respectfully, when he went to Washington last year

1066
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: for his first road game. It's like it's loud in college.

1067
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you just have to you have to learn

1068
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 1: how to deal with the signals and stuff like that.

1069
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:08,319
Speaker 1: You're right, it really wasn't a huge deal. They were

1070
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:09,879
Speaker 1: good on the road. They've been a good road team

1071
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 1: the last few years except twenty fifteen. They just weren't

1072
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:14,839
Speaker 1: a good team. No, they were not a good team.

1073
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,759
Speaker 1: All right, tight End, you expect I expect the same

1074
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 1: three and for the rest of the year unless somebody

1075
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:22,840
Speaker 1: gets hurt. Yes, no no changes there and no changes

1076
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: as far as now. The one change you might see it,

1077
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 1: tight end, is you might see a little bit more

1078
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 1: guys in there to help blocking that right side. Helped

1079
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:35,720
Speaker 1: Bil Collins. If von Miller's around the edge, Um, James

1080
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 1: Hannah proved all the good stuff we say about you

1081
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 1: as a blocker, right, get out there and show it.

1082
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:43,800
Speaker 1: Offensive line. Um, they last week there are guys that

1083
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:48,600
Speaker 1: were active, were Bell and and Looney. I assume they.

1084
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 1: I mean, Chaz was great. I don't know why. You

1085
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:53,359
Speaker 1: you know, fix it if it ain't broke. No, you're

1086
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:55,320
Speaker 1: not gonna You're not moving it. You know you're not

1087
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,799
Speaker 1: gonna move there. And again this is another huge test.

1088
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 1: And if they passed this one, well, and then you

1089
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:03,879
Speaker 1: got Arizona. Arizona's pretty stout on defense too. So this

1090
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 1: offensive line and this offense is going to get tested

1091
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,839
Speaker 1: by three really good defenses to start offing. And I'm

1092
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 1: sure in week four when Aaron Donald is back and going,

1093
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 1: but uh, I want to kind of take a break

1094
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: from that real quick. And I was thinking about Aaron Donald.

1095
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,399
Speaker 1: He'll play for that game. I mean, I think he'll

1096
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 1: play this week, this week probably, But from the when

1097
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 1: you think about just fantasy drafts and fantasy players, the

1098
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:32,840
Speaker 1: Cowboys are gonna miss two of the top three or

1099
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 1: four players in the league in this first month here

1100
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 1: with Odell being out clearly affected the Giants three and

1101
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 1: who I'm missing Dave David Johnson and then probably Aaron Donald.

1102
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 1: I mean, not fantasy, but I mean well, I mean

1103
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: I think Aaron Donald will play, right, Oh, I mean, yeah,

1104
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: you're right. But but David Johnson, I mean, we're talking

1105
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:54,320
Speaker 1: about one of the most versatile running backs in the NFL,

1106
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:56,840
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be out for two to three months

1107
00:55:56,880 --> 00:56:00,120
Speaker 1: and to catch some breaks. So that that's you. I

1108
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 1: mean that they're signing Chris Johnson, which you know it.

1109
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 1: I feel like Cowboy fans are always the joke is

1110
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 1: that they the Cowboys don't catch the break like the

1111
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,239
Speaker 1: guy gets healthy enough to come back just in time

1112
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:13,919
Speaker 1: for their game. So I'm gonna get a few this month.

1113
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 1: That's nice. And I think we addressed it. I mean

1114
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 1: I said it earlier this week. I mean I I

1115
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 1: was wrong. You guys were right, or definitely Amber was right.

1116
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 1: I don't know where you stood on it. I kind

1117
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: of rode the fence a little bit, I mean, and

1118
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 1: that was partially because you just really want to see

1119
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 1: Odell play. Yeah, y all do. Mean he's a great player,

1120
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: but I typically I went off history. Those guys that

1121
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 1: they play, they play in games. You don't miss a

1122
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:41,479
Speaker 1: lot of games. I was surprised that he did not play.

1123
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:44,319
Speaker 1: So so now just go ahead and keep missing games.

1124
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 1: You can miss this one if you want to, Then

1125
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 1: this next one, I'm sure he'll be back. I think

1126
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: it's Monday night against the Giants. Make it's the Lions. Yeah,

1127
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 1: he'll be there for that one, all right, Um any

1128
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 1: Twitter questions with her. Here's a little quick question. This

1129
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 1: guy is asking. I thought I saw some of the

1130
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:03,880
Speaker 1: hardest hitting by the Cowboys defense in a long time.

1131
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:07,440
Speaker 1: Do you guys agree? I think that's a trend for

1132
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 1: this entire I mean preseason two. They hit hard and

1133
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 1: they're active. That goes back to the Anthony Brown thing

1134
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:15,160
Speaker 1: that he actually made a play on the ball to

1135
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:18,640
Speaker 1: get that pick. Like they make the play where they

1136
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 1: come up, they're just they fly around. That's what Rob

1137
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 1: Marinelli wants. There's I mean, I think back to the

1138
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 1: we talked about the hit on Sterling Shepherd where like

1139
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 1: three different guys all popped them right away. I mean,

1140
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 1: these there you talk about, you know, they're kind of

1141
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 1: turning this defense over. There's a lot of youth out there,

1142
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of talent out there, and maybe

1143
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 1: they're not gonna get everything right every time, but they

1144
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 1: should be within the vicinity of the ball quickly. And

1145
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 1: I mean that's played out so far. Yeah, I think

1146
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:48,080
Speaker 1: that the physical nature of the linebackers has increased. I

1147
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 1: mean I think that that Damien Wilson and of course

1148
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 1: Jalen Smith and Hitchens has been when he was out

1149
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 1: there training camp and he was yeah, of course. But

1150
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 1: I'm just saying those guys I think are better in

1151
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 1: the you know, just in terms of hitting. But I

1152
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: do think that they've lost some at the safety position

1153
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:08,479
Speaker 1: because Jj Wilcox. That's one thing he could do very well.

1154
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 1: He was a big time hitter, and Barry Church was

1155
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 1: really physical as well. So I think that they might

1156
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 1: have lost a little bit of that safety. We'll see

1157
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 1: how how those guys kind of, you know, if they

1158
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:21,080
Speaker 1: become that type of those type of players, but they've

1159
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,120
Speaker 1: gained it in linebackers, so to me, it's a little

1160
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:25,200
Speaker 1: bit of a wash. So now, overall, I know we've

1161
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 1: talked about this before the season started with compare whether

1162
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 1: they've made improvements on the defense compared to last year.

1163
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 1: After watching this first game, do you guys feel like overall,

1164
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 1: not by position, but just overall in general that these

1165
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 1: defense it's somewhat more promising than the one they had

1166
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: last year? I think again, and yeah, in the big picture, yes,

1167
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 1: but these guys are young, they don't know what they're

1168
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 1: doing yet, they're not proven yet. But you just look

1169
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 1: at the talent. I mean, you got you have first,

1170
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 1: second and third round picks playing the vast majority of

1171
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 1: the important or I mean Anthony Brown's hidden gems who

1172
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 1: have and he's proven himself. But you've got talented guys

1173
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 1: playing the I mean Malee Collins should Obey Woozier Byron Jones,

1174
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 1: Jalen Smith is now playing, which is amazing. Still like

1175
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 1: you've got young, talented premium draft picks playing all these spots.

1176
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 1: So I don't think that you I'm ready to say

1177
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 1: that they're going to be great this year, but the

1178
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 1: big picture is very very encouraging. Yeah, and if first

1179
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 1: game is any indication, they're shortinly gonna make some some

1180
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 1: big strides this year. Yeah, all right, that doesn't music

1181
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 1: means it's time to go. All right for Amber and

1182
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 1: Dave Kent Garrison running the board, I'm Nick Eatman, will

1183
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 1: see you next time to see tomorrow Derek will be

1184
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:48,440
