Speaker 1: all the all the news today. Okay, that's true. We

17
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: need to probably get into that pretty quick. Rapp has

18
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: all the all the tea today. Yeah, all the all

19
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: the fun timeline stuff on Twitter. Come on, man, pour

20
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: the earl Gray, pour some sugar on me. Uh, where

21
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: do you want? Where do you want me to start?

22
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: Come on, come on, you're too young to know that.

23
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's go go for it. Where do you

24
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: want me? Well, let's start with Mike McCarthy. That's a

25
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: great way to start it. Okay, that's a hell of

26
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: a song. It's a hell of a week for the Cowboys.

27
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: So everybody knows by now. And hey, it broke one

28
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: minute after our show ended. Yes, we literally said so

29
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: long from talking Cowboys, and we looked down on our

30
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: phones and it was like, Mike McCarthy unavailable for Thursday. Wow,

31
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: that's how things are with you, Pee. Everything is G

32
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: fourteen classified and you don't give it to us to

33
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: the end. I didn't have I wasn't withholding any scoop

34
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: on that one. If I knew that one, I would

35
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: have told you. Yeah. He actually spoke to the media

36
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: via conference call yesterday, so he's feeling all right. But yeah,

37
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: he will not coach Thursday night. He will not be

38
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: with the team at all this week. He will be

39
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: involved virtually all the way up until they leave the

40
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: hotel in New Orleans for the game, Like he's even

41
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: going to talk to him virtually that morning or that

42
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: day of so he's gonna be involved. But dan Quinn

43
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: is the stand in guy in terms of the endgame

44
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: operation Thursday night, and they're just gonna have to fill in.

45
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: It's just one more thing that this team's having to

46
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: deal with. Heck and I were just talking about it. It

47
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: It has constantly been something and this is the craziest

48
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: one yet of this season. I think that's the biggest conversation,

49
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: and it was what you guys were talking about off

50
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: air a moment ago. But how big of a loss

51
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 1: is that? How much of a change is that, because

52
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 1: not only are you missing your lead voice on the sideline,

53
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: not only are you missing him, you might have him

54
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: throughout the week of practice via virtual connection. However, when

55
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: he's not there on the sideline, that starts a domino effect.

56
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: And we've already seen that, the ripples of the domino

57
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: effect of shifting some coaches around and moving different guys

58
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: into different positions. But Isaiah, from your experience, I don't

59
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: know if you ever had a game without your head coach,

60
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 1: But how big of a loss would that be if

61
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: that were the case. Yeah, I had to go back

62
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: to high school on that one. Geez the head coach

63
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: and had called all the plays. That was exciting. We

64
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: won that game. Nice. Uh No, I mean I don't

65
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: know how much of a voice he is on his team.

66
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: I really don't. I obviously we see all the things

67
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: that he says in the media, but we don't know

68
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: how how how imposing he is to to the rest

69
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: of the team. So I can't sit here and say

70
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: how much he'll be missed in that regard. I do

71
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: know that he coaches the coaches, and having all these

72
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: coaches out that doesn't necessarily help. I think most of

73
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: them are not gonna say most of them, but strength coaches,

74
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: assistant assistants, and so that shouldn't be that big of

75
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: an impact. But in terms of McCarthy, I think in

76
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: terms of his game management, you know, the decisions that

77
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: he meant that he makes in those regards. You know,

78
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: when Kelly Moore wants to throw the ball versus pad

79
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: very versus run, you know, I think he affects that.

80
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: You know, the fourth down calls, those will always come

81
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: through to the head coach. So now those things will

82
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: come through our defensive minnee coach. As we started thinking

83
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: about some of the situations that may present themselves, you know,

84
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: you might find yourself punty Moore because he wants a

85
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: position of himself better for his defense. So those are

86
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: some of the things that you will probably see more

87
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: so affected on the game. Yeah. You know, when I

88
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: think about the maturation of Mike McCarthy from Green Bay

89
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: to Dallas, his hands own approach with the offense was

90
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: foremost in green Bay, called all the plays, and like

91
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: you just said, he coaches the coaches here in Dallas

92
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: that I think it makes it a little bit logistically

93
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: easier for something like this to happen. I think that

94
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: what I really worry about is the daily routine of

95
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy being in and out of meetings, what things

96
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: and other things that he delegates to others, right, because

97
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: that's obviously what he's doing. And I just think about

98
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: it as being an entrepreneur. We've owned our own businesses

99
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: and the hardest part about being an entrepreneur is delegating

100
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: to other people because you are the process. You control everything,

101
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: and so sometimes that is the thing that will wear

102
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: you out, is trying to do everything. And I think

103
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: in this situation, especially with Dallas having as many coaches

104
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: as they have, as Jerry Jones was talking about this

105
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: morning on the FANI, it's like, look, we got twenty

106
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: seven coaches. We got one coach or every three players,

107
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: so we're not at the shortage here on that. But

108
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: dan Quinn I felt like even when the news broke,

109
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: he would be the person that we would go to

110
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: because of his experience and how lucky we are to

111
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: have a head coach that's moonlighting as a as a

112
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: an assistant right now. I think it's something that's gonna

113
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: help us. Look, there's no time to panic at all,

114
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: because for this team, this is as close to a

115
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: must win or as you're gonna get to in this season.

116
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: And I think that these guys are prepared, especially with

117
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: getting the health of a lot of other players. Now,

118
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: if Mike McCarthy was that coach that was completely entrenched

119
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: in every part of the offense and meetings and stuff

120
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: like that, I think then you would have to worry

121
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: a lot more. But I just think from his stance

122
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: and what you see from him right now, and look,

123
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: we need our head coach, we need you to get better. Mike,

124
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: who needs you to hurry up and get back. But

125
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: at the same time, I think you have soldiers use them.

126
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: This is not a long term issue, thank goodness. If

127
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: it were a long term issue, I think we'd be

128
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: talking about this in a completely different way. Yeah, because

129
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: it is just a week or two, I think you're

130
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: built as a coaching staff for this kind of scenario.

131
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: Look at all the veterans on the coaching staff, like

132
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: a Dan Quinn, like a Joe Witt junior, a Ben

133
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: McAdoo who's been a consult George George Edwards. I mean,

134
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: there's so many guys that have been there, done that

135
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: in the NFL, all the way down the list. Like

136
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: he said, there's no shortage there. My one concern is

137
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: in terms of the play calling and the aggressiveness, because,

138
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: like you said it, it might change. You may be

139
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: more conservative in the way that you call plays offensively,

140
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: one more may not have that bug in his ear

141
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: saying I don't really like that. Let's let's go ahead

142
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: and dial it back, or even more so, let's go

143
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: ahead and push it here. Yeah, that's my biggest concerts

144
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: in those crucial moments. How much of a discrepancy are

145
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: we going to see from the play calling and really

146
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: the work of the offense and the going into this week. Yeah, Robbie,

147
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: can you clear up some stuff for myself and even

148
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: some of the fans if you're in a position too. Yeah,

149
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: how many coaches are COVID positive versus contact tracing? I'm

150
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: not sure how that stuff works now this year, Right,

151
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: some people, if you're if you have COVID, you have

152
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: one set of rules. If you're being close in proximity

153
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: to somebody, that's a whole other set of rules. Right.

154
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: If you're unvaccinated, that's a whole other set of rules. Right,

155
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: So how is that working? I don't know with every

156
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: single guy who's a positive test, but I do know

157
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: the fact that the whole staff has to be vaccinated.

158
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: Let's just that. Yeah, we know that. Yeah, I think

159
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: fans are unclear about that. Yeah, Mike is vaccinated. He

160
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: had to be vaccinated to be in the war room

161
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: on draft night, So all the coaches are vaccinated. So

162
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: I think the fact, like the fact they ruled out

163
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: guys ahead of time, and Mike has said there's been

164
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: some positive tests, I think I think there have been

165
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: some positive tests with the staff, and we're talking about

166
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: all three as far as protocols, all three strength coaches.

167
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: Cedric Smith could return because he was out last week.

168
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: Joe Philbin is out again this week with the old line,

169
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: So I think it's like it's up to six or

170
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,559
Speaker 1: seven assistant coaches that will not be available. As Heck said,

171
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: it's a huge staff, so guys will just kind of

172
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: fill in where they can, especially on the old line.

173
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: What are some of the moves that are being done

174
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,599
Speaker 1: to shift guys into those different positions You're gonna see

175
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: was you don't have Philbin and blastco at the old line,

176
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: so you've got Linda Wells kind of moonlighting between O

177
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: line and tight end coaching. And I think Ben McAdoo

178
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: is an option there as well. He's a consultant that

179
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: can help out there as well. He's got an old

180
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: line background, So there's that, so you know, and you know,

181
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: we'll just see how it goes with I think they'll

182
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: get at least one shrink guy back this week potentially.

183
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: That's good. So moving into practice today, this is a

184
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: light practice on the field today and Amari Cooper was

185
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: not on the practice field yesterday. Ce d Lamb was

186
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: any updates on those two guys going into the weekend.

187
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 1: Jerry said it. He said, you'll see DeMarcus Lawrence on

188
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: the field Thursday night. Let's go. And he said, you'll

189
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: see it Mary Cooper most likely on the field. He's

190
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: going to ramp up today coming off of the COVID list.

191
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: He's still on the COVID list technically, so see how

192
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: he goes today. And he said, Zekiel, he's got a

193
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: full load coming on Thursday night. So enough talk about

194
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: him resting this week. And it does it sound like

195
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: that's going to happen. What do you do? You like

196
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: that or no? I think that's absolutely necessary. I think

197
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: for z and Zeke's not gonna want to beg out

198
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: of this game. There's no way in help. I think

199
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: he's missed one game due to injury in his entire career,

200
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: and in this matchup they need his pass protection with

201
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: the noise factor, they need to try to find a

202
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: way to run the football. And if that's only him

203
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: for thirty snaps in this game, they could use him

204
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: in this game, try to push through, try to find

205
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: a way to get out of this situation. Win this game,

206
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: and then he gets ten days off. And we were

207
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: originally going to talk Dallas offense in the second segment.

208
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: I want to keep this going because I like this

209
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 1: transition because of Ezekiel Elliott. But Cam Jordan earlier in

210
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: the week on Scott Manpel's Sports Center, he said, there's

211
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: one key of slowing down the Cowboys, and that's taking

212
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,719
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott away. And to this point, you can't necessarily

213
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: disagree if they take away the run game. The Cowboys

214
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: have been flat three of the last four games, so

215
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: that's got to be the key. Even with those guys

216
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: getting back. Having those guys back helps you a ton,

217
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: helps you wait Ton and trying to get the run

218
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: game going. But at the same time, you have to

219
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: make sure that he has a good game. Yeah, and

220
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: to the point the question that you ask Rob, you know,

221
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: is that a good thing that Zeke's going to have

222
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: a full load. I think it's a good thing for

223
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: the team. It's a bad thing for Zeke. I think

224
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: I think any of us can sit here and say

225
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: that Zeke looks healthy. Zeke, You're doing a good job.

226
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: Z Year, You're close to a one hundred percent. We

227
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: know that nobody, hardly anybody playing in this league today

228
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: as one hundred percent unless they just got signed from

229
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: the house or a practice squad. Even practice squad, you're

230
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: still hurting. Zeke looks like I don't know where he's

231
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: at physically, but he doesn't look like even a shadow

232
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: of himself right now. And I know he's toughing it out.

233
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: I know that he's a beast about it. He's not

234
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: going to complain all the you know, the warrior type

235
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: mentality stuff that mostly most guys in the league really

236
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: have and that you have to have in order to be,

237
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: you know, be an enforcer in this league. I don't

238
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: think it's good for Zeke because we recognize that when

239
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: you have injuries, when you're sustaining things, they're not going

240
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: to get better by putting more workload on them. That's

241
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: just reality. So is it good for Zeke? Nah? Is

242
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: it good for the team if he can be productive? Now?

243
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: I agree to a certain extent on that. But I

244
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: think if if Zeke was hurting of the Brett Brown,

245
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: or if any of them saw that this is just

246
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: a guy that is just can't get it done, I

247
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: don't see them putting them out there, or maybe they would.

248
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 1: I think that in his situation, particularly with the offensive line.

249
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: You rely so heavily on him in pass pro, and

250
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: that's that's you need him, you need him there. I

251
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: don't think that Tony Pollard, you've seen anything from him

252
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: blocking wise that says that he can shoulder the responsibility

253
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: of doing that. Here's the thing, and it was going

254
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: back to what you were talking about about Mike McCarthy

255
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: not being there, and will you know, be pulling back

256
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: those reins on how aggressive we've been this entire time.

257
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 1: I think Mike McCarthy has been. One thing we could

258
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: say is that he's taking some shots over the last

259
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: couple of weeks because we haven't had our weapons. We've

260
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: gone to a little bit of a short game, short

261
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: yardage game. But we've got to take our shots in

262
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: this game. Literally, Michael Jordan makes a comment, you miss

263
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: all the shots you don't take. We've got to try

264
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: and get down the field and be aggressive the entire

265
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: game versus Saints. Cam Jordan isn't saying anything that doesn't

266
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: anybody else know about the Dallas Cowboys. You got to

267
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: load up and you gotta stop the run, whether it's

268
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott or it's Tony Poller. So I expect for them,

269
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: and I expect everyone until Dak Prescott makes defenses adjust

270
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: in that way and by stretching the field and also

271
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: trying to get the game, the running game going. One

272
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: thing we can't do in this game versus Saints' is

273
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: be going east and west. We cannot get our running

274
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: game to It has to be north and south. I mean,

275
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: all of those things sound cliche, but we have to

276
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: get this ground game going at least twenty five thirty

277
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: rushes in this game to kind of back off this

278
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: defense no matter what, no matter what, because they're gonna press.

279
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: They're gonna press us at the line of scrimmage, but

280
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: we are gonna have opportunities to hit these guys over

281
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: the top. What Cam Jordan's say, That's That's what I

282
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: was saying earlier where he said he was taking away

283
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott, that was the key. Yeah, I mean, and

284
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: they've taken away running game all year three point four

285
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 1: yards of carry. Teams have had trouble getting it going,

286
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: but I they've They always say the road game travels.

287
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: Game travels on the road, Like you've got to be

288
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: able to get that going and take the crowd out

289
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: of it. A little bit because that crowd is going

290
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 1: to be drunk, Yes, literally, figuratively, whatever you want to

291
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: call it, is coming on rocking. There's a couple of

292
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: Miller lights down the hatch. That's the toughest place I've played, really,

293
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: hands down. And you've been in Seattle, Yeah, okay, more

294
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: so than played there when I was when I was

295
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: with New England and we got we got to hand

296
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: it to us. Did you get to play an arrowhead?

297
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: I don't believe so, Okay, I believe I ain't gonna

298
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: be remember that one. I'm telling you. That place gets rocking,

299
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: That kids rocking. Wow, I've never been to a game there.

300
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: I want to go. It's pretty dope, dope. This was massive. Yeah,

301
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: it's on. It's one of those you can't hear yourself. Think.

302
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: It feels like an old or At and T Stadium.

303
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: That's what it feels like, an older version of an

304
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: older version of just way louder. And I was about

305
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: to say just it's probably a little louder you that

306
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: Cowboys has turned up, which which will make things tough

307
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: from an offensive perspective, But what is the what is

308
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: the adjustment you have to make from an offensive standpoint

309
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: to make sure that you were not affected like you were,

310
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: say early in the game against Kansas City. I mean

311
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: you have to. I mean you you work all week

312
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: on non verbals. I mean, hopefully they're blasting the music.

313
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: That's typically what you do. When I was hearing you know,

314
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: Dallas and most other stops that I had, you know,

315
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: they turned the black. They'd take all these speakers out

316
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: there and they blast them. When I was in Seattle,

317
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: they had a live DJ out there and they blast

318
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: crowd noise and it's just like overbearing. Just you can't

319
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: even hear yourself. Think you can hear it. So they

320
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: blast the stuff and you you call your plays in

321
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: the huddle and you go out there and you work

322
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: on your nonverbals. You know, you're you're tapping the center

323
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: on the butt, you know, and that's that's her. That's

324
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: your snap count. You know, bone tap them on the

325
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: butt or two taps or whatever it may be. The

326
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: you know, in the gun, you'll see the guard look

327
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: back and look at the look at the look at

328
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback and see that he's ready. He'll tap the

329
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: center on the butt. That's a snap count. But all

330
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: those things play a part in that defensive line getting

331
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: off the ball too. So you might have a couple

332
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: couple of razzle Dallas in there where you might you know,

333
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: fake snap it or you know a double head bob

334
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: or whatever it may be for your center, But eighty

335
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: percent of the time he's gonna be snapping it after

336
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: he gets that tap on the hip. Well, if you're

337
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: a defense in lineman and you see that, you have

338
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: now have ability to get off the ball a lot

339
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: quicker than than you would have. So there's a lot

340
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: of things that in regard to help you that but

341
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: also can hurt you. But guys just have to be

342
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: in tune and they have to have their signals down impacked.

343
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: Is that something that where not having Mike McCarthy as

344
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: a voice throughout practices could play a factor. Nah, there's

345
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: just too many, too much experience on your coaching staff,

346
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: and you just talked about that. I mean, something that

347
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,239
Speaker 1: small is not going to impact this game for the Cowboys.

348
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: I just think you know, you got these guys have

349
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: got to correct their spacing. This Saints defense man. When

350
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: you pack these guys in together, they play really well,

351
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: and they're fast and they have a lot of experience

352
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: I think when you spread them out, when you go

353
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: back to the Carolina tape and teams that were able

354
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: to get them out in space, I think that's where

355
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: you have the most success. We've got to get some

356
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: things corrected with blocking. There's a lot of questions being

357
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: asked about tight ends things like that. But when in

358
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 1: those zone runs, we've got to get to the second

359
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: level like we were in some of these other games.

360
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: I mean, and you saw it versus San Diego, we

361
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: saw versus the Giants where we're able to get to

362
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: the second level. That's just tough. Man. They have guys

363
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: like Malcolm Jenkins that is the lynchpin of this defense,

364
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: you know, Rich Homi, Kuan Alexander. They got some guys

365
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 1: so Demarrio Davis, Their linebackers flow really well. Yeah, they

366
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: got some guys that can get it there. I just

367
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: think that upfront physically, Lele and Zach you know that

368
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: right side, if we can get guys moving and get

369
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: to the second level, that's gonna make the difference for

370
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: the running game specifically. For sure, not having either of

371
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: your offensive line coaches doesn't seem very ideal for this guy,

372
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: you know, but he's right, like Demario Davis to me,

373
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: is their Bazuka. Like he's their guy in the middle

374
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: of the defense that if you don't get a hat

375
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: on him or two hats on him the second level,

376
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: he can wreck the game and he could certainly stop

377
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: your run game. So to me, he's the one that

378
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: sticks out the most beyond and their front four is awesome.

379
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: I mean that to me, they have. They were a

380
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: championship level defense last year and they've shown signs of

381
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: that this year as well. It's just offensively they've had

382
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: trouble getting going. He also got guys like Pete Warner

383
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: who's stepped up. He's in rookie out of Ohio State,

384
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: mid round guy, and I mean he's the fifth rated

385
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: linebacker according to Pro Football Focus right now. Damary O'Davis

386
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,479
Speaker 1: those one that opens that up. He draws a lot

387
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: of attention and you can see it on the film. Man,

388
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he flies around. It's pretty ridiculous how good

389
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: he is. Williams is playing exceptionally well on the back end.

390
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: You mentioned, Yeah, Davenport's been playing well. He's not even

391
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: a starter, he's a rotational piece and he's been playing

392
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 1: really well. But he's out is he done. Yeah, Davenports out.

393
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't know that. Yeah, big oh right here

394
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: next to his name. I guess that's what that means. Okay,

395
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: then there you go. But h and been looking at Yeah,

396
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: you might be uh you look at Jenkins too. You

397
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: mentioned him best a lynchpin. That's a perfect way to

398
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: describe it, because it feels like anytime there is a

399
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: hole in that New Orleans defense, plug and Jenkins because

400
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna be there. And it hurts my heart to

401
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: say that, because you know, I don't like him because

402
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: of him being an ex Philadelphia Eagle, so I mean,

403
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: just keeping with the trend. But he's you know, he

404
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: plays close to the line of scrimmage and he's gonna

405
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: be instrumental in trying to stop the run as well.

406
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: That's one of his That's one of his key points. Man,

407
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: He suffered the line of scrimmage. What else do you

408
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: think about this, this front seven that's gonna give Dak

409
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: Prescott issues. Do you feel like they're gonna get after

410
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: him as well? Or do you feel more confident now

411
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: that both Tyrn Smith has a week under his belt

412
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: and Lyle Collins is the complete starter going into the week,

413
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: no questions asked. I don't. I don't fear these guys

414
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: as a pass rushing team. I fear these guys as

415
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: a run stuff stopping team. And if we can't, if

416
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: if the Cowboys can't win on the outside, it's gonna

417
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: be a long day. Yeah. If it's gonna be like

418
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: Kansas City and it's gonna be a long day. Yeah.

419
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: It's the where the crowds of factor and they just

420
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: are I mean at home on Thanksgiving just just out

421
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: of sync with their operation. You wonder about that, You

422
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: wonder about that, with that environment that they're in on

423
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: Thursday night. Now, I feel better about this game being that,

424
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: And I think we don't recognize that Dak has only

425
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 1: been he's only had seven starts with all three of

426
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,959
Speaker 1: his wide receivers, and this is his opportunity to have

427
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: all three the three of me goals together, right and

428
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: the triplets whatever you want to call him, This is

429
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: an opportunity to have these guys together. And the offense

430
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,719
Speaker 1: is so much more different when he has Coop, Lamb

431
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: and Gallop together. I mean they're averaging three hundred and

432
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: forty six yards per game with them three together, and

433
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: it makes a difference in the red zone without all

434
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: three of them together, where you know, write at about

435
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: forty percent with our three receivers together, where sixty seven percent.

436
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: So all of those things are relative in this game.

437
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: And I think that's gonna be the difference for Dak

438
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: And we've been talking about him being a little bit off,

439
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: the timing of the offense not being there. I look

440
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: for those things to improve by having these guys. What

441
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 1: is the stat I saw that CD and Amari accounts

442
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: for like a third of the offensive yardage. You know,

443
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: it's a factor when both guys aren't out there. So

444
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: you know, and we'll see what the MARII his conditioning

445
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: is a factor this week, so will he get a

446
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: full snap count assuming he's back in the game. But

447
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: CD said yesterday he feels fine, he's good to go,

448
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: So you know, even having just CD back is big.

449
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: And where do you see the the part or excuse me,

450
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: the holes in this Saints defense Because you got Marshawn

451
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: Lattimore at the corner spot and he hasn't had the

452
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: best year, but he's still Marshawn Lattimore. Then on the

453
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: other side, you have a guy like pauls and Adibo

454
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: who is still a young player, still trying to find

455
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: his own way. And I feel like that's a spot

456
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: where the Cowboys could take advantage. Do you see that

457
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: same sort of deal I see their secondary. They don't

458
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: have pairings. I think they have like one good guy

459
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: per side just there. Yeah, they have like a really

460
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: good corner on one side and have really good safety,

461
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: But they don't have like a set of both. You

462
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: know what. It's kind of having one of the other.

463
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: They have one of the other. You don't have both,

464
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: And they're not two good pairs of shoes. You got

465
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 1: one pair of shoes. I know what Alan Evans want

466
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: all though, you know what I mean. But so I

467
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: think we can definitely take advantage. You just have to

468
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: pick your poison and just know, you know you're gonna

469
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 1: get it. You're gonna be in a dog fight with Attimore.

470
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: He loves, he loves being, he loves tuestling. You're gonna

471
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,719
Speaker 1: wrestle with him all day long. So referees and everybody

472
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: get ready. Referees are gonna play a part in this

473
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: because it's gonna be You may get some calls, you

474
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: may not get some calls, but just know it's gonna

475
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: be They're not gonna be a flag coming out every

476
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: play when there could be a flag coming out every

477
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: play because of how physical this is gonna be on

478
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: the outside. And then Malcolm Jenkins, you never know what

479
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: he's gonna be at, but whenever he shows up, he's

480
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: a force. He's dangerous and he can get turnovers. So

481
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: don't throw it up in his area. No, And it's

482
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: gonna be tough and definitely tough against tight ends as well.

483
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 1: I mean you talk about coverage ability. What I see

484
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: from them and just my evaluation of them is as

485
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: a team is the big playability is going to be there,

486
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: and that's why I say take shots and they have

487
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 1: the potential to get receivers get behind them deep. So

488
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: I look for Dak to continue to, you know, test

489
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: the chin. We gotta test that chin, baby. We gotta

490
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: try and stretch his defense and get behind the safeties.

491
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: You talk about guys like Marcus Williams and I'm number

492
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: forty three for the Saints. I just think that sometimes

493
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: he's so aggressive with trying to get that into the

494
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 1: run that sometimes he allows things to get behind them.

495
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: So play action is going to be imperative and that's

496
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: why establishing the run it's so important that shows up

497
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: on film a lot. They're they're overly aggressive and teams,

498
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: you know, to your point in terms of teams stretching

499
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: them out and spreading them out, when you get them

500
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: running sideways, that's when they struggle. And that is I

501
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: literally have that in my notes to have them going

502
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: east and west as far as they're off their defense

503
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: because they're so aggressive, and that's why the big play

504
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: is going to be there there you get go stay

505
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: north to south, and I think Kellen Moore is an

506
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator that can take advantage of that. When he

507
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: sees those tendencies on film, he's usually been able to

508
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: exploit it. A lot of these teams that we've played

509
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: late lately have not had those same sort of tendencies.

510
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: They've kind of changed the things up and gone certain directions.

511
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: Let's see if the Cowboys changed it up going this

512
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: week against the Saints. When we come back, how about

513
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 1: the Saints offense? What kind of challenges did they present.

514
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill is going to be starting at quarterback. Does

515
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: that present a problem for the Cowboys when we return

516
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: with more talking Cowboys there's nothing as unique as our eyes,

517
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: which is why Selor pioneers ways to make lenses as

Speaker 1: Miss Phillips know I'm in love with the one. I

565
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: like this copper one right, yeah, good, all right, guys,

566
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill, since we last talked, saying the starting quarterback

567
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: over Trevor Simeon and Trevor Simeon, it really looked like

568
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: it was going to be a matchup heavy for the

569
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: Cowboys that you liked. Look, you look like you got

570
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: that said, you're You're absolutely correct. Simeon was looking like, Pepp,

571
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: that's who I want it. I know that's what you want. Untunately,

572
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: you got you got Taysom. Yep, you got Taysom. What

573
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 1: kind of challenge does he present? He Taysom Hill coming

574
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: in that starting quarterback mark Ingram coming back, Alvin Kamara

575
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: coming back, that's the that's the issue. So it's not

576
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: just a Taysom issue. It's a it's what can you

577
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: do with all three of those guys issue? And that's

578
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: the the Obviously, we need to be able to stop

579
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: the run, something we've struggled with. If if the Cowboys

580
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: can't find a way to stop the run, they're gonna

581
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: be in trouble. Taysom Hill is not the most accurate,

582
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: want to sit in a pocket type quarterback. He can

583
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: he has a cannon. Now he'll launch that thing down

584
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 1: the field. So you have to be disciplined in terms

585
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: of your technique unlike last week. But if we can

586
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 1: stop the run and load the box up and play

587
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 1: good defense on the outside, sound defense, I think it'll

588
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: be perfectly fine because he's gonna revert to his running. Yeah,

589
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 1: to your point, it's like facing a Jalen Hurts or Kyler.

590
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: I mean he will take off and present. I mean

591
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: he's you mentioned Tebow. I mean he's a faster version

592
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: of that guy who can just take off and beat

593
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: you with his legs and he can make throws. He's

594
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: not gonna make every throw on the field, but he

595
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: presents that different element. You knew Sean Payt was gonna change. Yes,

596
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: Oh you had number one because they've lost four games

597
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: and they're trying to get out of a rut. Isn't

598
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: he from here and doesn't he live here? Yeah? Yeah,

599
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: but it's the Cowboys and he's gonna have it something

600
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,239
Speaker 1: in his bag and this is this maybe this is it,

601
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, to try to get something a spark going.

602
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think it'd be a rougher

603
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: matchup because of his versatility for their offense. Unlike those

604
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: two other gentlemen that you name Kyler Murray and Hurts.

605
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: When he gets out the pocket, he actually wants to contact.

606
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: I like that, he actually wants contact, So take your shots. Yeah,

607
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: you have your opportunities. That's true. When he's when he's scrambling,

608
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: he'll go up the middle and he's more of like

609
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: a tight end again. Oh he's like he's like two

610
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: forty five. Yeah. Well he's built for that too. I

611
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: mean he's gone up against I mean he's been a receiver.

612
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: He's used to taking himself tight end runners. Yeah, he's

613
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: played running back as well, so it is a different aspect.

614
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: This isn't Lamar Jackson running around where he's speedy. He's

615
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: got the agility and then he's able to get down

616
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: and he's trying to avoid contact. This is a guy

617
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: who's going to bring the fight to you. And I

618
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: think this is a good challenge for the Cowboys defense.

619
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: Well look like that, No, man, you know what I

620
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: feel like, I don't want to make these quarterbacks some

621
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: quarterbacks more than what they are. And you know, here's

622
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: the thing about Tayson. You know he has that the

623
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: arm to get extended down the field, but it's more

624
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: of a shot put um. He works well for the

625
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: Saints in a slash quardel slash mentality. You know. Yeah,

626
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying is you got to have

627
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: He's he's coming in for somebody. He's a change of

628
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: pace like it is for running back. So, you know,

629
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: I think with our defense right now, these guys have

630
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: got to feel really bad about their performances over the

631
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, and this is the kind of

632
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: game where you can get back to feeling good about yourself.

633
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: You got a quarterback that you know it's going to

634
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: be trying to look for that contact and when you

635
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: have guys like Michael Parsons on your team that crave

636
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: that contact. Please, let's let's have an introduction, you know.

637
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: And so I think that to stay aggressive defensively is

638
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: going to be important. But Alvin Kamara coming back is

639
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: the biggest word for me because he's so diversing what

640
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: he does from a running back standpoint and also as

641
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: a receiver. So you know we're gonna have our hands

642
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: filled to that degree. But they don't have Michael Thomas

643
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: as a as a wide receiver. The options that they

644
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: do have us Smith and Callaway, and so I feel

645
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: good about the matchup for our secondary, our corners as

646
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: far as their speed is concerned. But when you can't

647
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: play around with them, obviously, you know, be aggressive, stay

648
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: aggressive the entire game and create turnovers. It's going to

649
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: be pivotal for our defense to create turnovers to get

650
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: our offense multiple opportunities. And this is a game where

651
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: you can specialize on that because site Hill is one

652
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: of those guys that if you beat on him, he

653
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: will cave. You know, size all that don't matter. He

654
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: don't want to be hit for four quarters either. They've

655
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: won with him. Though they've won with him as the

656
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: starter three and one I think last year, and you

657
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: know Breeze wasn't Breeze last year. But yeah, to your point,

658
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Callaway's their leading receiver. Deantha Harris

659
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: is not available for them. They just don't have the

660
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: weapons on the outside that they normally do. I think

661
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: they say they may not have a receiver with fifty

662
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: catches this season for the first time in almost since

663
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: eighty seven. Goodness creation like that. But yeah, Kamara changes everything. Yeah,

664
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: because he can he can kill you in space, he

665
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: can do all that stuff. So that's that's the biggest factor.

666
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: And then Ingram can get their running game going as well.

667
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, we'll see. The latest out of Saints camp,

668
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: by the way, is that Kamara, Ryan Ramcheck, the right

669
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: tackle and mark Ingram were all uh in practice. Ingram

670
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 1: excuse me, ran Check and Kamara were limited. Ingram was full.

671
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: So they're probably going to get mark Ingram back. There's

672
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: a very good chance they get both ram Check at

673
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: the right tackle spot and Kamara back going into Thursday,

674
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: And like you said, I mean, it's the Cowboys game.

675
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: It's Cowboys Saints. They're probably gonna play. Yes, they'll be

676
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: out there, So does a limited Kamara change things for you? Still? No? No,

677
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: why is that? Because you have to do still have

678
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: the honor it the same way. Yeah, he let up,

679
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: he's still got honor. I mean, if he widens out,

680
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: you don't just say they all just bump out. Now,

681
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: you still better make sure that you put somebody that

682
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: can stick and stay with him in coverage and you know,

683
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: and running the ball. I mean, he's the difference maker.

684
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: But everybody knows that. They know that as well, so

685
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: though they will use that to their advantage. They will

686
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: motion him around, they will do shifts and all kinds

687
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: of different things to take your attention to him, all

688
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: the while allow and Taysom Hill hopefully not to run

689
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: draw plays and sprint outs and all those kind of

690
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: things that where he could just tuck it and gain six, seven,

691
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: eight yards at a time. This is a sustained drive game.

692
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: This is again very much so very much like last week.

693
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: This is gonna be one of those sustained drive games.

694
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: And I think they know that because they don't have

695
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: that big playability like they have in years past. They

696
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: now have turned into that team whereas now instead of

697
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: the big shots, we're gonna just beat you down, and

698
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: then our defense is physical enough to come out there

699
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: and pop you in the mouse. That's the approach I

700
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: believe they're gonna take with some little Dincon dunks in

701
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: their screenplayers in Kamara and all that. But they're okay

702
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: with these seven eight yards at a time and a longs.

703
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: Those chains keep moving. I think they're happy. And and

704
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: the other thing about the Saints is they're playing at home,

705
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: and they're like us with home cooking. They love playing

706
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: at home. I think they're one of the tops in

707
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: the NFL and scoring at home. So it's getting them

708
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: in their surroundings and them being explosive. I think Tyson

709
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,399
Speaker 1: Hill is going to be a difference maker for them.

710
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be a change. I see Sean

711
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: Payton even I said the same thing, How oh, how great.

712
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: You know you're gonna make a change now at the

713
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: quarterback position, huh. I think Trevor Simeon will come in

714
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: as well. I think they'll he'll yeah, I think you'll

715
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 1: see both. I don't see him going with Tyson Hill

716
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: the entire game because they're just certain throws that he

717
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: cannot make, and if they're put into a situation where

718
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: he has to make throws to get them back in

719
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: the game. That's where they're gonna be in trouble. So

720
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 1: creating those turnovers, that's what I'm saying. Initially it's gonna

721
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: be important. But you're right, Alvin Kamara, whether he's hurt, limited,

722
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: or whatever it is, you have to under him on

723
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,760
Speaker 1: the field because of his ability to stretch the field.

724
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: But defensively we can't. I'm not saying, just freak out

725
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: about every little thing that they have. We just have

726
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: to be who we are, stay in our sets and

727
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 1: not panic. Once we forty one split out, adding adding

728
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 1: Tank back to the mix, even as a situational rusher,

729
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: if that's the case, that's huge. That's huge in this

730
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: game part just to have him as part of that rotation.

731
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 1: You don't have Tristan Hill in this game. He's been

732
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: suspended two games or there's another piece of news we

733
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: haven't hit yet. Yeah, just another thing that the timing unpaid,

734
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: unpaid two games, two games pretty pretty it's a pretty

735
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: clear firm letter from the NFL that he got too

736
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: on that. So getting Tank back helps that rotation on

737
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: your rookie deal too, Bam. Um, dan Quinn's gonna be

738
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 1: on the sideline call in the game, so the operation

739
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: changes a little bit. But as you guys said, he's

740
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: a veteran guy. Joe Witt, I imagine still be up

741
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: in the box. He actually called the defense once in

742
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 1: preseason because dan Quinn had COVID in preseason, So I

743
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: don't think that operation changes a whole lot. But it's

744
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:52,959
Speaker 1: just it's just gonna be different. It's gonna it's gonna

745
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: feel different for the players, and that is a legit

746
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 1: worry of mine. Him coming from the box down on

747
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,720
Speaker 1: the field. I think the the perspective may be different

748
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,399
Speaker 1: from him. Obviously, like you said, WIT's done it. We've

749
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: already had the where coaches have called games in the preseason.

750
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if they were just trying to make

751
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: ready for this kind of scenario, but either way, you know,

752
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: I think if it fits perfectly what's happening right now.

753
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 1: A lot of it in the preseason was because of

754
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 1: the lack of dan Quinn because he had had had

755
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: tested positive for COVID at that point. But there were

756
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: two games in the preseason where different coaches called plays,

757
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: right it was Joe Witt junior on one because Dan

758
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 1: was out and then cause Dan was out, Yeah, they

759
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: let into us. That's right, That's what it was. So

760
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 1: I mean, at least this coaching staff has reps in

761
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: that regard and so maybe that's the case. And then

762
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:41,760
Speaker 1: also you got to think about it, like dan Quinn

763
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,760
Speaker 1: was on the sideline during his time in Atlanta too.

764
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been on the sideline quite a bit recently.

765
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: I'm not as worried about that as I feel like

766
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: a lot of Cowboys fans out there are, because I

767
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: feel like there are concerns around it, But I feel

768
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: like dan Quinn's one of those guys where it shouldn't

769
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: affect him too much. But positive I am, I'm a

770
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: little bit. It's just I mean, it just does feel

771
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 1: like they're stuff stacked against him this week. Though it does.

772
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 1: It just does. It's just a weird, another weird situation

773
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: that they're in. You can't use that as an excuse, though,

774
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 1: you absolutely can't. You gotta go into it. You gotta

00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: I'll go Bills though, Man, Patriots are looking good right

922
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: now and that defense is playing outstanding. They gotta you know, look,

923
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 1: it's it's rookie quarterback. I want Patriots. Go for Patriots.

00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:03,839

925
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: easy pick for Kyle. All right, Let's see if this

926
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 1: is as easy of a pick. The Dallas Cowboys traveling

927
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: to the Super Dome for the first time since twenty nineteen.

928
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,959
Speaker 1: The Cowboys lost that game twelve to ten. Too much

929
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 1: different teams this time around, as Dak Prescott and company

930
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 1: try and go down to New Orleans and endo a

931
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: streak of three losses in the last four games against

932
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 1: the Saints team that has lost four straight. But they

933
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: are starting a different quarterback. They may get Alvin Kamara back.

934
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: What is going to happen in this one. Kyle, what

935
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,839
Speaker 1: say you, Dallas Cowboys all the way? You're gonna see

936
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 1: Ceddie lamp though up behind of yards this game. What's

937
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: your score prediction? I'm going with twenty seven, twenty four,

938
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: twenty seven. It's twenty four. Kyle. Thank you so much

939
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,360

940
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: us here on this show. We love you. We'll talk

941
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 1: to you again soon. Thank you, guys. Take care, man,

942
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 1: I really love you guys. Take care absolutely, Thanks guy.

943
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: I appreciate you. Man. All right, Rob Phillips, will let

944
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,280
Speaker 1: you go first. This matchup bothers me and so there's

945
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: just playing down there. It's always tough, all this crap

946
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 1: going on with the team right now, do it. I

947
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: just think ultimately the Cowboys offensively have enough to get

948
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: out of there with a win. But I think it's

949
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:24,839
Speaker 1: gonna be close, and I think it might be kind

950
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: of ugly and rough at times. I'll just go Cowboys

951
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: twenty three twenty He just did a league courso did just.

952
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: I mean, there's not a lot going their way right now.

953
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: They are getting guys back. Maybe that's the ultimate thing

954
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: for me, and they got Dak and I think because

955
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,919
Speaker 1: of that, I think they respond in a big way.

956
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 1: This is a team that's five and one against the

957
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:48,320
Speaker 1: NFC at the moment, best divisional record in the NFC,

958
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 1: and I think they continue that this week. I think

959
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: the Cowboys win it in a big way. I think

960
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna be thirty one thirteen Cowboys, no doubt. Yeah.

961
00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: I think they come in and I think they respond.

962
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,839
Speaker 1: I think pissed off. I think they're gonna turn around

963
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:05,919
Speaker 1: and make some noise. Isaiah, who you got? Well? Five

964
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 1: and one takes back, by the way, Isaiah, Isaiah is

965
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: nine and two picking in the Cowboys. He's been on.

966
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 1: He's been on nine and two. The rest of us
