15
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 5: most important games of the season in my opinion. So

16
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 5: we'll see how the Cowboys treat it, how they come

17
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,040

18
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,280

19
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,319
Speaker 5: Saints fans will be there, a lot of they they

20
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 5: like to get rowdy and yell and chant whatever they chant.

21
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 5: And the Cowboys fans, you know, they gotta they gotta

22
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 5: be there too.

23
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 6: It's first game of the year.

24
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 5: This isn't one that you want to sell the tickets

25
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 5: off and I'll catch the I'll catch the Ravens one

26
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 5: next week. No, this is this will be a big

27
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 5: one Cowboys and Saints, all right, eight eight, eight eighty five,

28
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 5: five two two nine seven is the number to call.

29
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 5: We'll talk about, uh, the game, of course, we'll talk

30
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 5: about the injury report that came out. Marshawn Kneeland was

31
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 5: added with a calf injury. Did not practice yesterday. One

32
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 5: of three players that did not practice. Jake Ferguson did

33
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 5: not practice. He did talk in the locker room about

34
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 5: his knee injury. Says doesn't have any pain and he's

35
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 5: gonna do everything he can to be one hundred percent

36
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 5: make sure he's ready to go. I kind of got

37
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 5: the sense that, you know, they're gonna definitely gonna try.

38
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 5: I got the sense that, uh, there's a pretty good

39
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 5: chance that he he will play in this game, So

40
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 5: that that'll we'll find out a lot today. We'll find

41
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 5: out today and how how he practices, if he practices,

42
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 5: and how he does and you know, if he's limited today,

43
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 5: then I think that's a good sign. If he misses

44
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 5: another day of practice, then you know, they may hold

45
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 5: him out for a week. John Stevens is also on

46
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 5: there did not practice as well, So well, those two

47
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 5: kind of go together. From the tight end position, you

48
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 5: have Luke scoon Maker, you have Brevin span Ford, you

49
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 5: have Princeton fan on the practice squad, so it might

50
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 5: be a situation to move him up. And don't forget

51
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 5: Hunter Lipke did a lot of work there at tight end.

52
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 5: He could he could certainly service your third tight end

53
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 5: if you needed to. He did that for the really

54
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 5: the fourth quarter of the game, third and fourth quarter.

55
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 5: So all right, let's get to the phone lines. We'll

56
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 5: start us off in Bridge City, Texas. It's Chuck d

57
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 5: He's first. Off, Chuck, what's up?

58
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: Hey, Nate, what's up?

59
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 7: Oh?

60
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 8: You need to be on first?

61
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 6: All right, lead us off.

62
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 8: I want all right, I want to talk about a

63
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 8: few things. The first thing I want to talk about

64
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 8: is with McCarthy. You know, I've been a fan like

65
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 8: everybody else, and just the fact that each year you

66
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 8: can you have I hope to think we could do it.

67
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 8: We have, but if we haven't, but he's such a

68
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 8: good coach, I feel like we could do it, and

69
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 8: I feel he's just as good as Tomlin.

70
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 9: Uh.

71
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 8: You know the Ravens coach Hardall or even uh Sean

72
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 8: the old Saints coach. To me, he's just as good

73
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 8: as those guys, right, Yeah, Now, I know it's probably

74
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 8: because Belichick's out there. They're making this this.

75
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 3: Is his last year.

76
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 8: You make it or break it, right, that narrative. But

77
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 8: for me, I like, you know, going through the Garrett years,

78
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 8: it's just nice to have a coach you could actually

79
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 8: have hope to think we could do it because he

80
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 8: has done it right. Because that's my point. And I

81
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 8: was going to talk about actually for the Saints, you know,

82
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 8: Saints Week. I got to go in two thousand and

83
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 8: nine in New Orleans when you know, DeMarcus Ware it

84
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 8: wasn't going to play because he was hurt, and he

85
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 8: ended up playing, and you know, Strip sacked all that

86
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 8: good stuff, and at half time we were beating them undefeated.

87
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 8: Almost got killed in the restrooms because I had my

88
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 8: Cowboys gear on, and uh, you know, of course we

89
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 8: got to win the game. And after we went back

90
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 8: to Bourbon Street, we went to our hotels and changed

91
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 8: our jerseys because we didn't want to get you know,

92
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 8: we didn't want to get hurt. It was that bad

93
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 8: that we beat them, but it was awesome. It was

94
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 8: awesome to watch.

95
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was a great game, and they they they

96
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 5: actually lost three in a row the Saints did, Thanks

97
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 5: Chuck for the call. The Saints lost three in a row, uh,

98
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 5: starting with that with that loss to the Cowboys, and

99
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 5: then turned it around and won the Super Bowl. So

100
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 5: didn't hurt them that bad. Yeah, just being there was

101
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 5: a very memorable game. And the Marcus Ware and Marion

102
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 5: Barber and Romo there, you know, making plays down the stretch.

103
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 5: So it was a fun atmosphere, uh for sure. Now

104
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 5: it'll not be in the in the Super Dunes games

105
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 5: obviously at Att Stadium, but they'll there'll be a lot

106
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 5: of fans there. Hopefully nothing happens like in the restroom

107
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 5: I at any fights and things like that. But it

108
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,239
Speaker 5: should be. It should be fun. I mean, I really

109
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 5: like their their fan base. They they're they're very loyal.

110
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 5: They get after it, and they're they're excited about their team.

111
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 5: And you know, after a game like that to start

112
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 5: the year, beat Carolina the way they did, I'm sure

113
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 5: they are very excited about what they've got going uh

114
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 5: in New Orleans. All right, let's go uh and and

115
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 5: the question about McCarthy or the comment about McCarthy. You

116
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 5: know those guys you mentioned Tomlin, uh, Sean Payton, that

117
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 5: they're kind of you know, they've they've been I mean,

118
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 5: Sean Payton's teams have been around five hundred a lot.

119
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 5: I mean, that's why I've never understood why the craze

120
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 5: for him. He's won a super Bowl, there's no doubt

121
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 5: about it, so as McCarthy. But I mean that they

122
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 5: they you know, he'll he'll have some five hundred years

123
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 5: as well, maybe a little bit below. But I think

124
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 5: more than anything of those coaches that you mentioned that

125
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 5: they just give them a chance. They they they give

126
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 5: you a chance to be competitive every single year. And

127
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 5: when you're competitive and you're good enough to get to

128
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 5: the playoffs, anything can happen at that point, and that's

129
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 5: what you want. You want your team to be able

130
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 5: to be fighting for a spot every year. I mean,

131
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 5: I think the Rams coach Sean McVay is very similar

132
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 5: to that. Last year was kind of supposed to be

133
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 5: a throwaway year for them, and and they they snuck

134
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 5: into the playoffs and they were competitive, and that's what

135
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 5: I think. You know, the Cowboys are hoping for with McCarthy.

136
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 5: You have a good coach, get you in there, have

137
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 5: good enough players that can you know, that can win

138
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 5: some some close games. You win enough of those, then

139
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 5: obviously you're in All right, Let's go to Pete in Connecticut.

140
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 5: It's the next caller, Pete Nick.

141
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 7: How's going, Buddy good?

142
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:34,679
Speaker 1: How are you good?

143
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 7: I have two quick questions. First off, who's the overall

144
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 7: strongest player on the Cowboys team? And then second off,

145
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 7: who is the biggest type man before the game? Just

146
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 7: getting everybody ready to rip and tear it up?

147
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 9: All right?

148
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 7: Man, thanks, have a good day.

149
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 6: Thank you. That's quick, quick and easy.

150
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 5: The strongest guy on the team, I would, and I

151
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 5: would say Tyler Smith, And I don't know what the

152
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 5: bench press numbers are. Tyler Smith is pretty strong.

153
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 6: For sure.

154
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 5: And if you know, I know Mazie was considered in

155
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 5: that group, but I don't know. I would I would

156
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 5: say Tyler Smith. That would be my guess if I

157
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 5: had to guess there.

158
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: And then.

159
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 6: The hype guy, oh man not.

160
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 5: Really down there all the time for that. Chris might

161
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 5: actually know this one better than me. If you if

162
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 5: you're in there, but uh, I see Tank in there.

163
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 10: A lot tanks kind of the leader of the circle.

164
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, yeah, I mean you know it has

165
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 5: to be it's got to be somebody like that. I

166
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 5: mean you you have to have skins on the wall, Okay,

167
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 5: you have to. You have to know what you're saying too.

168
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 5: You have to have you know, be you know, like

169
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 5: I forgot what the term is there and wrestling, but

170
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 5: you got to be good on the mic there, you

171
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 5: know what I mean, and your promos I guess maybe

172
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 5: that's what they're called. But you've got to be able

173
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 5: to sound good. And then you also have to have

174
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 5: skins on the wall. Like you have to be a

175
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 5: good player, Okay. You can't just be a guy that's

176
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 5: like you're you know, back up, you know, running back

177
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 5: or linebacker that's over here trying to hype everybody up.

178
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 6: I mean, you got to.

179
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,559
Speaker 5: Know, hey, you're gonna get in the game as well,

180
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 5: and you're gonna play well and do all that.

181
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 6: Kind of stuff.

182
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 5: So I mean, not that he would do it, but

183
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 5: Cooper Rush is not not going to be your hype

184
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 5: guy for any reason there.

185
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 6: But and there's a lot of.

186
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 10: Good guys out there that aren't really screamers. Like Diggs

187
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 10: isn't one to get in there and start screaming. Yeah,

188
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 10: you've kind of soft spoken exactly. I don't think Larry

189
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 10: Allen was ever the hype guy there, so a good

190
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 10: question though. I think Tank Tank is the one I

191
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 10: see a lot of the photos. I saw a photo

192
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 10: though from a preseason game. It might have been just

193
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 10: because of his preseason and if you're playing, you're going

194
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 10: to be the one hyping things up. But Overshown was

195
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 10: in there in the group kind of you know, yelling

196
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 10: and screaming. It was his first game back from injury,

197
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 10: so that that might been what he was doing there.

198
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 10: But either way, uh, that that's a that's a good question.

199
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 10: A lot of stuff people don't don't know the answer to,

200
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 10: too so good stuff. All right, let's go to Irene.

201
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 10: She's in Falls Church, Virginia.

202
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 11: There there's hey, good morning for morning.

203
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 8: Good are good?

204
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 11: So two or just one thing? Not trying to stir

205
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 11: the pot or anything? Okay, sorry to seventy second anyway,

206
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 11: not trying to through the pot because dan quinn AT's

207
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 11: revision of history if we pretend he you know, didn't

208
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 11: do anything and completely change our identity on defense and

209
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 11: make us kind of the stepping stone for where we

210
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 11: hopefully are going. But I did notice in DeMarcus Lawrence's

211
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 11: first game that he mentioned one thing in particular that

212
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 11: got me, which was he mentioned that, oh, it's nice

213
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 11: to have him on the field seeing what we see.

214
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 11: So I was wondering for there's parts and cons to both,

215
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 11: I think, but for a game like this again talking

216
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 11: about the emotion all that I can be different kind

217
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 11: of runs, how do you think that impacts this game

218
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 11: in particular and going forward? I'll get off the phone.

219
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 12: Thanks for answering.

220
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 5: So I think what you're saying there is that you

221
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 5: know obviously Dan Quinn was up in the booth and

222
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 5: U and Mike Zimmer down on the field. You know,

223
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 5: there's there's two ways to say. I mean, yes, it's easier.

224
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 5: We've all done it if you've been down the field. Yeah,

225
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 5: it's pretty cool when it's right there in front of you.

226
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 5: It's it's that's hard to beat right there. You don't

227
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 5: always see everything. You can't see everything. You see a

228
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 5: lot more from upstairs now with the way the iPads

229
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 5: are now and then and the communication and you see

230
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 5: all the pictures. You can still see that stuff very

231
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 5: quickly as well, and so you can still kind of

232
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 5: see that at times, and you can still communicate with

233
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 5: the players more so, I think for Zimmer and his

234
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 5: coaching style, it just fits better for what he's trying

235
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 5: to do. You know, Dan, Dan's intense, but he really

236
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 5: wasn't a that I saw. He really wasn't a screaming,

237
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 5: yelling type type coach. He's intense in his own way.

238
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 5: I'm sure there were times, and I'm sure there are

239
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 5: times that you have to be a head coach defensive coordinator,

240
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,599
Speaker 5: you have to be able to do that. But I

241
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 5: think Zimmer obviously a little bit more intense there, and

242
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 5: I think he gets his point across better by staring

243
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 5: him in the face and say do your job.

244
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 6: Do your job.

245
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 5: This isn't cutting it, and it probably holds a lot

246
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 5: more water by doing that. So, you know, and each

247
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 5: player kind of handles it differently. But for Tank to

248
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 5: say that, then that's good, that that means this is

249
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 5: kind of what he needs and and what you know,

250
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 5: he's one of the leaders. So the other guys probably

251
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 5: could could say the same as well. All right, all

252
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 5: the other foot lines are open here. Eight to eight

253
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 5: eight five, five, two, two nine seven. We've got a

254
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 5: question here on the text line. This is a first

255
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 5: time Texter, Joe from New Jersey. So we'll go first

256
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 5: time texter there for Joe. He can get to here

257
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 5: we go, Chris, can hear it?

258
00:11:58,960 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: All right?

259
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 6: I appreciate all your work.

260
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 5: How do you feel about giving more opportunities to Douce

261
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 5: fun to get him out in space. He's another weapon

262
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 5: we can use on offense. I think he's another weapon.

263
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 5: I mean like he's he's shown some ability, uh in

264
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 5: preseason games. He hasn't really done that in the regular season.

265
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 5: It's a different beast, different animal, different player. We're talking

266
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 5: about players that are bigger, stronger, faster. That's why they're

267
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 5: in the league, and that's why they're on teams, and

268
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 5: that's why they're not in preseason games. So we we

269
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 5: haven't found that out just yet, that he can be

270
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 5: a difference maker in a regular season game. And so

271
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 5: the only way you're gonna find that out is by

272
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 5: playing him. So I get your point, and it's not

273
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 5: it's not wrong. I think you pick your spots.

274
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 6: Uh.

275
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 5: You know they put him in there the other day.

276
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 5: I would have liked to see him a little bit

277
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,719
Speaker 5: more in the second half of all you're doing is

278
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 5: running the ball. I'd like to see him do that. So,

279
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 5: you know, they they've got some they've got some places

280
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 5: for him. He's on the team like he made the

281
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 5: team for a reason. They they think he can he

282
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 5: can add some value. They're just trying to figure out where.

283
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 5: But I think that they'll they'll pick their spots. And

284
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 5: you know, for right now, he's still active. But if

285
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 5: there I think if they decide to put Dalvin Cook

286
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 5: up from the practice squad or you know, make him

287
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 5: a guy that that's gonna play, I think that would

288
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 5: be Deuce's spot. That's what I would I would imagine. So, uh,

289
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 5: we'll see, we'll see how it goes.

290
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 6: All right, let's go.

291
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 5: To here we go and here we go. Here we go, Joe,

292
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 5: all right, Adam in Vermont, Adam, what's up?

293
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm good.

294
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 6: How are you?

295
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 13: A huge fan? Huge fan? I didn't know if I

296
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 13: could get through, But I'm excited that that I'm in

297
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 13: just calling.

298
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 7: Uh.

299
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 13: If you know anything about Land and his timetable of returning.

300
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 5: Uh, I think I think for for Deron Bland it's

301
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 5: it's a four it's four games for sure. That's that's

302
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 5: where he is for the stress fracture in his foot.

303
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 5: So he's on injured and it's it's four games regardless

304
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 5: if he's healed all the.

305
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 6: Way or not. I mean, for sure, he's out these

306
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 6: first four games.

307
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 5: So after the Giants game, then he is eligible to return.

308
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 5: He can start practicing. Doesn't mean he has to, obviously,

309
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 5: and so that's kind of that's kind of where it is.

310
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 5: He's on injured reserve, and then they'll start bringing him

311
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 5: back if they you know, I mean, he could be

312
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 5: out all season, I mean knocking with I'm not saying

313
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 5: he is, but the way the rules are, he's on

314
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 5: injured reserve. He has to be out four games and

315
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 5: then after that, you know, he can come back when

316
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 5: he comes back. And it was a six to eight

317
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 5: week injury. It was that this happened two weeks before

318
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 5: the start of the season, so you know, two weeks

319
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 5: and then four games. That's that's six that's six weeks

320
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 5: right there. So hopefully for him, he has a shot

321
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 5: to come back for that Pittsburgh game in week five.

322
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 13: Gotcha, Well, hey, I appreciate it, and uh, take care all.

323
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: Right, man?

324
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 6: Thank you so much. Appreciate the here we go, here

325
00:14:58,920 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 6: we go.

326
00:14:59,200 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: That's right.

327
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 5: We had to hear we go from Adam and Vermont

328
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 5: Pete in Connecticut. We call back, Pete, Are you back?

329
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 7: Yes?

330
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 5: This is I mean, I guess we would call this

331
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 5: a repeat call. Yeah, what's up Pete?

332
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 7: What's up?

333
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 14: Man?

334
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 7: So I was just wondering, in all your years of

335
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 7: covering the Cowboys, which playoff loss was the hardest one

336
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 7: you deal with?

337
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 5: This last one, This last game. I mean, not even

338
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 5: the question, this last one. This was the worst because

339
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 5: they got blown out, and they were supposed to blow

340
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 5: them out, Number two seed all lined up for them,

341
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 5: you know, and you.

342
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 6: Didn't even compete.

343
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: You didn't even compete.

344
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 6: H So that's that's the worst.

345
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: It's not.

346
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 5: And it's not one of those things where it's the

347
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 5: newest one so you think it's the worst. We always

348
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 5: do that, like this is the best one ever, the

349
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 5: worst one ever. But when you throw them all out

350
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 5: there and all these other games they were close, it

351
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 5: was a tough des caught it Romo's the ball slipped

352
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 5: out of his hands.

353
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: Patrick.

354
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 7: I think the twenty sixteen one was brutal.

355
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Jeffrey fought back in.

356
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 7: The second half, and they just still Aaron Rodgers once again.

357
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 5: They're all they're all tough, I mean, because all of

358
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 5: those games, all of those losses. Just give me one play,

359
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 5: one play in that game. And for me, in the

360
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 5: Seattle game, it's not Rummel dropping the snap. It's the

361
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 5: fact that they should have reviewed that play, or or

362
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 5: I think Witton got a first down. You give Witting

363
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 5: a first down. There there's no field goal. Then the

364
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 5: clock runs out. Then they kick it or run it

365
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 5: in and they win that game. Creighton dropping the ball,

366
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 5: Jeff Heaths on the twenty sixteen Jeff Heath sacks Rogers,

367
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 5: he doesn't fumble, you know, and he fumbles that ball,

368
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 5: they kick it, they go win. So there's one play

369
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 5: in every game except for this Packers one. There's nothing.

370
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 5: I mean, they just didn't they didn't compete. So that's

371
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 5: the one that I would pick.

372
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 7: All right, all right, thank.

373
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: You, Pete.

374
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 5: You everybody calls in, They say how hard it is

375
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 5: to call in once in the year over here calling

376
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 5: in twice. Good job, I'm counting it twice though. Two

377
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,479
Speaker 5: calls there, Pete, and then Adam and Vermont was called before,

378
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 5: what's going on up there in the northeast. We got

379
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 5: two connecticuts and a Vermont. Good stuff. All right, We

380
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 5: got a text question here. This is Colby in Tyler, Texas.

381
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 5: I'm just wondering how Dalvin Cook's ramp up is looking.

382
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 5: How do you how do you feel he'll have a role.

383
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 5: I'm not supposed to see things out there. You know,

384
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 5: you kind of glance out. You see every once in

385
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 5: a while on our on our practice field, you see

386
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 5: guys out running around. Uh I did kind of catch

387
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 5: him in the open field, just running on you. It

388
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 5: was you know, scout team look or whatever. But uh

389
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 5: I saw twenty and it looked kind of like a

390
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 5: Pollard the way he was running and cutting.

391
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 6: It in the open field.

392
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 5: And I again practice against air, really but saw some

393
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 5: juice that I was like, all right, I like that,

394
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 5: Like he'll he'll, he'll get out there. It's looking better better,

395
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 5: And you know, nothing happened in the game Sunday that

396
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 5: you're like, well, we don't need him.

397
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 6: You know, I'm not.

398
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 5: Saying it was bad, but it was good enough. But

399
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 5: it wasn't a you know, they weren't just running the

400
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 5: ball over the Browns, and most teams aren't going to

401
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 5: do that. So it was fine for week one. Let's

402
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 5: see what happened here in the next few weeks. But

403
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 5: it wasn't like Zeke er Rico did all of these

404
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 5: things reduced that you were like, well, we don't need

405
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 5: this four time pro bowler, Like, nah, he's good, he'll

406
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 5: get a shot. He'll get a shot. I can't tell

407
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 5: you exactly how the ramp up is going, but it

408
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 5: looks like, you know, he's getting he should be getting

409
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 5: closer and closer. All right, let's go to a call

410
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 5: from Bob and Rio grand Valley. Hey, Bob, how good you?

411
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 14: I'm doing good.

412
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 15: I got a question for you, And then I want

413
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 15: to make a comment.

414
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 14: If the question is what do you hear about Ferguson's

415
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 14: maybe I.

416
00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 5: I think I yesterday he said Ferguson. Ferguson said in

417
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 5: the locker room that he feels fine. He hurt a

418
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 5: pop on the injury. He never heard a pop before.

419
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 5: I think that's the whole thing was very scary. They

420
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 5: were fearing it could be a cl could be bad.

421
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 5: But the you know, all the tests came back good.

422
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 5: He has no pain. So right now, they're just gonna

423
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 5: he did not practice yesterday. We'll see if he practices today.

424
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 5: I think he has a decent shot to play, but

425
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 5: it would not surprise me if they hold him for

426
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 5: a week.

427
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 14: All right, here's my comment. Okay, thanks, thanks for answering

428
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 14: the question. By the way, Yeah, here's the comment. We

429
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 14: established this running game early. You're looking at a forty

430
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 14: burger because New Orleans does not have that great a defense.

431
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 14: They don't disguise there, they're coverage that well, and Dak

432
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 14: is just going to pick him apart like a laser surgeon.

433
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 14: And that's not my prediction. And thank you for taking

434
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 14: a call.

435
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 5: All right, Well, I appreciate that. I mean, I agree

436
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 5: this could be a high scoring game. I mean it

437
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 5: could be the Saints. Still you still don't know, you

438
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 5: don't know what to expect. You know, Carolina is just

439
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 5: not not ready to compete at a high level. I

440
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 5: don't It doesn't look like it's one game new coach,

441
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 5: quarterbacks just struggling.

442
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 7: You know.

443
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 5: I'm glad the Cowboys play him.

444
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 6: You know that this year. Not not looking forward to

445
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 6: going there.

446
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 5: But but uh but I'm glad that they play them,

447
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 5: and and actually that's a good thing too, because they

448
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 5: should be able to win the game. And if that's

449
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 5: if that's a road game, uh, you know, you have

450
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 5: nine home games, so it's pretty good. I mean, you know,

451
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 5: if that's that's one of your road games, that's why

452
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 5: the schedule is not as unfavorable as you might as

453
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 5: you might think. So all right, let's before we go

454
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 5: to breakup, go one more text question here. This is

455
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 5: from Darien Foster from Irving, Texas. Darien is my guys,

456
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 5: my my best friend's nephew, so in reality.

457
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 6: He's my nephew as well.

458
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 5: So his question is do you think the Cowboys are

459
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 5: going to regret not recent signing Tony Pollard. Well, Tony

460
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 5: Pollard had a nice game in the first first week

461
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 5: of the season, at least scored a touchdown for sure.

462
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 5: If you're a fantasy player and you have him, you're like, oh,

463
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 5: he did pretty good stuff. I know they didn't win

464
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 5: the game, but but I think for for the money

465
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 5: that he that he got, you know, I think it

466
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 5: was seven million a year, I think they just thought

467
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 5: they could do a committee approach.

468
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: Here.

469
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 6: Are they going to regret it? We'll see, We'll see.

470
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 5: I'm not just going to dismiss it and say nah

471
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 5: nah that they're good, because you know, he does bring

472
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 5: some some juice that but I think they felt like

473
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 5: the combination of Rico and and and Zeke a little

474
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 5: bit more of a complete back. I hate saying that

475
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 5: because Pollard is really good. He's dynamic, and he tries

476
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 5: like when it comes to blocking, like hell, he's not afraid.

477
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 5: He's definitely not scared. It's just that that's not his

478
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 5: body type to do that. He's not gonna make a

479
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 5: living doing that. Uh and and last year he didn't

480
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 5: have as many explosive plays, I think because being that

481
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 5: he needs to be a number two back. There's nothing

482
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 5: wrong with that. I think he's better at that. Less

483
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 5: as more is better for Tony Pollard. So I think

484
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 5: for the money that he was demanding or you know,

485
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 5: not demanding, but the money that you know that he

486
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 5: was able to get, I think they looked at it

487
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 5: like we we could probably use that money in better spaces,

488
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 5: but we'll we'll see what happens. I think it's a

489
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 5: really good question because the jury is still out on

490
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 5: his season, and also what the Cowboys have done to

491

00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: All right? What do you got well?

532
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 13: It's compared to the second game with New Orleans, compared

533
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 13: to our second game with Arizona last year? Do you

534
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 13: think it's good? It can be? Taking make it better?

535

Speaker 9: This year?

536
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 13: We do win and said of losing like we thought

537
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 13: we should win.

538
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 6: Say that again. I'm sorry you lost me for a second.

539
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 13: I'm just saying compared to last year, Arizona's game was

540
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 13: the second game, there was a third game. Yeah, definitely

541
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 13: the Giants. We were think I'm going to win and

542
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 13: beat Arizona and we lose, right, the same thing kind

543
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 13: of like with it New Orleans or do you do

544
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 13: you think we get you know, be able to beat

545
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,719
Speaker 13: that up and say hey, we're just go in and

546
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 13: take care of it and win.

547
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 5: Yeah. Well, I think thanks for the call. A couple

548
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 5: of things about that. Well, not that it matters. I mean,

549
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 5: your point is made. Arizona was Week three. They just

550
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 5: beat the Giants and then the Jets and then you know,

551
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 5: but still week two, week three, I get your point.

552
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 5: Knock on wood here. This is what what kind of

553
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 5: scares me about that by referencing that because it is Thursday,

554
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 5: I don't like mentioning it. But Thursday before that game

555
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 5: is where they suffered an injury to their cornerback out

556
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 5: for the season, So you know, kind of leery of

557
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 5: that of any injuries on these practice. But another thing too,

558
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 5: like they had three starters out for the game three,

559
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 5: and it combined I think it was like eighteen Pro

560
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 5: Bowls out for that game. Tyron Smith missed the game,

561
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 5: Tyler Biattish at center missed the game, and Zach Martin

562
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 5: missed the game. And so they had a hard time

563
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 5: scoring points and moving the ball if you could imagine,

564
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 5: I mean, they they had hard time scoring points. They

565
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 5: moved the ball, but they didn't score, and then they

566
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 5: couldn't stop anybody in the run. So I'll say this,

567
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 5: if you're gonna gi up two hundred and twenty two

568
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 5: yards rushing to James Connor, then then you're gonna lose

569
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 5: games or you're you know, it doesn't matter if Josh

570
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,959
Speaker 5: Jobbs is the quarterback or not. So my point all

571
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 5: of that is they're they're not excuses why they lost it.

572
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 5: Those were reasons reasons why they lost those games. And

573
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 5: that lost that game in Arizona. They were not at

574
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 5: full strength and they showed and they they didn't play well.

575
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 5: And throw that in there as well, so you know,

576
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 5: maybe they were looking ahead or whatever. But I don't

577
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 5: think you look at he had a team like this.

578
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 5: I mean, I think the Saints, what they did, what

579
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 5: they put out, I don't think there's gonna be any

580
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 5: of that is, if they're healthy, though, I think the

581
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 5: cowwould have a really good chance to win the game.

582
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 5: All right, let's go to Joe and Pennsylvania, just up

583
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 5: there in the northeast.

584
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 16: Yep, another northeast.

585
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 12: Kai.

586
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 16: Oh, not too much, got too quick. Things I'd like

587
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 16: to go over cool first one is Juce Fawn being

588
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 16: on the punt return team. It seems like opposing coaches

589
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 16: would maybe try to run a fake and try to

590
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 16: isolate him to make a tackle. I know he did,

591
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 16: you know, put a nice block on the punt return,

592
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 16: but it seems like if I was a special teams coach,

593
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 16: I try to isolate him and try to run somebody

594
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 16: at him and see if he can make a tackle.

595
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 16: And then the second thing is if they do have

596
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 16: trouble with their running game, I would like to see

597
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 16: Lance be the second quarterback and maybe get him some

598
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 16: running plays or something, and you would think they'd be

599
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 16: able to have enough plays where if Dak got hurt,

600
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 16: he could fill in for the rest of that game

601
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 16: and then Stack's out for a while, then move Cooper

602
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 16: rush up to the number one.

603
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 5: You know, not a bad not a bad thought at all.

604
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 5: You know, I kind of think that that could happen

605
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 5: at some point this year. Thank you for the call,

606
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 5: Joe good good a couple of good observations and good

607
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 5: thinking there. So I I think right now that you're

608
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 5: kind of playing with fire. I think if you did that,

609
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 5: you know, I mean, just to say, like we're good,

610
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 5: Dak's good. We're going to make him the backup.

611
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 6: But maybe maybe not.

612
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 5: It's got to get to the point where they're like

613
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 5: that Trey Lance can go in and and and help

614
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 5: us win a game, you know, if we get if

615
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 5: he gets injured, he can go and play and finish

616
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 5: this off if needed. And again, by the rules the

617
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 5: way it's set up, first and second quarterback have to

618
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 5: be injured and out for the game. Third quarterback can

619
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 5: come in, he's dressed, he can come in, but only

620
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 5: under that reason. So you can't just pick which one

621
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 5: you want. But you know, Trey Lance is going to

622
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 5: have to provide some value. It's got to be worth it.

623
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 5: I mean, is it going to be worth it to

624
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 5: put him in there? So, but you know, we'll see

625
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 5: how that goes as as the year goes on. And again,

626
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 5: let's see if they're struggling in the red zone. We

627
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 5: really don't know yet what what what's happening there if

628
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 5: they if they're having issues in the red zone or

629
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 5: issues running it. As for deuce, we've seen it before

630
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 5: where teams will you know, pick on players. I mean,

631
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 5: they had Jalen Tolbert out there as as the corner

632
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 5: on on the punt return team, and I believe they

633
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,239
Speaker 5: two teams ran a fake at him last year. So

634
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 5: if if you put a player like that, teams know,

635
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 5: you know, everybody's got three special teams, coaches, they're looking

636
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 5: at that kind of stuff that they're looking at who's

637
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 5: out there. And you know, from what I remember, he

638
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 5: was sitting right in the middle of the defense, so

639
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 5: it's kind of protected there. But also there's two sides

640
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 5: to as Parcels would say, there's two sides to that pancake.

641
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 5: Don't be surprised if maybe they sneak news out and

642
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 5: then there's some kind of reverse with turpin or fake

643
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 5: reverse or something like that. So you know, there's there's

644
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 5: there's different way. I mean, bones can play the game too.

645
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 5: Now let's don't forget that, all right, Let's go to

646
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 5: Irwin in Denver.

647
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 17: Hey, Dick, what's going on?

648
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 6: Are you?

649
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 17: I'm doing good.

650
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 6: I heard from you in a while. How you been.

651
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 17: I know, you know, I try to call you when

652
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 17: you were down at the Oxnard and it was really

653
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 17: tough to get in. Yeah, and there's been a lot

654
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 17: of people calling. So that's just a tribute to you

655
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 17: and the show.

656
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 6: Thank you appreciate that.

657
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 17: Yeah, So just a couple of quick things, Nick and

658
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 17: I let's let you go. So we get some of

659
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 17: callers on. I don't know if you remember, but me

660
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 17: and you talked a little bit about when we had

661
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 17: drafted Tyler Geydon and we knew who we were playing.

662
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 17: I had mentioned to you that he was, you know,

663
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 17: there was it was really gonna be tough for him

664
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 17: being a rookie going against Miles Garrett, and you agreed

665
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 17: with that, but you all came back and said, well,

666
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 17: don't discount Parsons and what he could do. As it

667
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 17: turned out, you know, Tyler Gayton really handled himself. He

668
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 17: was impressive, you know. And then of course Parsons did

669
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 17: his thing. And then I'm going to take a different

670
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 17: spin on some things. I actually kind of want to

671
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 17: see the Cowboys every game play tough games, you know,

672
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 17: and of course come out on top with these wins. Yeah,

673
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 17: it just the battle hardened them. When it hopefully they

674
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 17: get to the playoffs, you know, they'll they won't have

675
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 17: any of these kind of weak blowouts and you know,

676
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 17: get over confident anything. I want them to have tough

677
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 17: games throughout the year, you know, and come out victorious.

678
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 5: There's something to be said for that. I thank you

679
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 5: for the caller. Two really good points. You know, the

680
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 5: when you look at even back to the Super Bowl teams,

681
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 5: the years that they won, there was always a game

682
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 5: or two that they they kind of snuck, you know,

683
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 5: snuck out to win or something, you know, very be

684
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 5: the team that maybe wasn't even that good. They had

685
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 5: to rally and and and win the game and and

686
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 5: and you know a lot of people would pinpoint that

687
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 5: and say that that helped them carry on. There's again

688
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 5: two sides to it. You get some blowout wins against

689
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 5: the like they did last year against the Giants against Washington.

690
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 5: You need games like that rest your players a little bit.

691
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 5: Also give opportunities for younger guys to play, because you're

692
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 5: gonna need them. So games like that allow them a

693
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 5: chance to play. So there there's two sides to that,

694
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 5: you know, and and you want to mix. You want

695
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 5: to balance. You want because confidence can go in both ways.

696
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 5: You could you could blow teams out and you're like, man,

697
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 5: you know it feel really good. And you know we

698
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 5: needed a game like that. We needed to show that

699
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 5: we can, you know, put the put our foot on

700
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 5: their throat and blow them out. So but then there's

701
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 5: gonna be those times where you also know, hey, remember

702
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 5: that game where we had to drive in the fourth

703
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 5: quarter and Aubrey made the kick and we won. The

704
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 5: defense stopped them, So they both can be beneficial. I

705
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 5: think you want a good balance of both though, you

706
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 5: get if you get to the playoffs, you want to

707
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 5: know you you're able to win some tough games like that.

708
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:14,239
Speaker 5: The other point about Guyton going up against Garrett and

709
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 5: and you know Parsons having some you know, giving them

710
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 5: problems as well. Parsons Mike I said it yesterday in

711
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 5: the locker room, a really interesting interview, had a lot

712
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 5: of good things to say, but he was talking about

713
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 5: his conversation with Geyton, and he said he got the

714
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 5: two best out of the way, and Geyton was like

715
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 5: two best He's like, yeah, because you got me in

716
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 5: training camp and then you got you got Garrett with

717
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 5: the two best rushers you know, and.

718
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 6: Not that you know t J. Watt doesn't have some

719
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 6: you know issues.

720
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: But t J.

721
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 5: Watt, though, is more rushing from the left side, so

722
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 5: I think you'll see him more against Terrence Teele. He

723
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 5: doesn't flip as much as as Garrett does. Bosa Nick

724
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 5: Bosa from the forty nine ers. Obviously he'll he'll move

725
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 5: around too, So it's not like he's not gonna be

726
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 5: face the challenge week. But that was Parson's opinion that

727
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 5: you know, he faced me in training camp. Meet Miles

728
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 5: Garrett and you know you're doing good so far, and

729
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 5: it's it's not going to be that much tougher than that.

730
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 5: It probably will be at times, but still that that's

731
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 5: a good start for I get the point that he's

732
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 5: trying to make all right, all right, let's go to

733
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,319

00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 5: All Right we've got. We've got a text question here

785
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 5: from Joe in Stanford, Texas. Used to call all the time.

786
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 5: Now he's changed his work schedules, he doesn't get to

787
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 5: call as much, but he did call not too long ago,

788
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 5: but he texts a lot. Here's his question today. With

789
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 5: the way Kitlen Carson is playing, do you think the

790
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 5: training staff will be more conservative with Bland's return than

791
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 5: they might be otherwise? Well, I'll just say this. The

792
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 5: training staff is going to do what they do all

793
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 5: the time to get the player back to be healthy

794
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 5: and ready to go at his timetable, like there is

795
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 5: no And I say this because sometimes those guys are

796
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 5: watching and listening to everything. And I mean this though,

797
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 5: because I know how serious they are. They guys come

798
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 5: back when they're ready, when they're ready to play physically. Now,

799
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 5: sometimes you do have to kind of get over a

800
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 5: mental hurdle there, and it's not the same, but for

801
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,720
Speaker 5: the most and these guys are ready to go, ready

802
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 5: to play. So I don't think there's going to be

803
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 5: any We don't need to bring Bland back because we're

804
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 5: good here, you know. I think he'll be ready when

805
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 5: he's ready. I get the nature of the question. But

806
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 5: I think from depends on who you ask. Like I

807
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 5: could see the coaches, I can see Jerry, I could

808
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 5: see them saying let's one more week. But from a

809
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 5: training staff and a player, like when he's ready, he'll

810
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 5: be back, regardless of where he is and who you

811
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 5: know who's playing it. And again, you know, Caitlyn Carson

812
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,760
Speaker 5: played one game against the quarterback that could not complete

813
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 5: a pass. He really couldn't, and he did give up

814
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 5: a touchdown there. So let's just see how it goes.

815
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 5: Let's see what happens this week and then that maybe

816
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 5: you know, the Saints might find something they pick on him.

817
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 5: So we'll see how it goes. But I think that

818
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 5: it's a good problem to have when Bland comes back,

819
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 5: that you're gonna have four cornerbacks that you can throw

820
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 5: out there and you can trust. All right, let's go

821
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 5: to Steve. He's in Silver Spring, Maryland.

822
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, first time, Nick, All right, thanks, let me.

823
00:38:53,040 --> 00:39:00,919
Speaker 1: In Cowboys, Steve, Yeah, first time call and love your show.

824
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 9: Is there a player out there, maybe a right defensive

825
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 9: end or a wide receiver that could put this team

826
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 9: over the top. Looking at the rework of Steelds contract

827
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 9: or they clearing up space to make such a move.

828
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 9: That's my question.

829
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 5: Think right, all right, what you're referring to is they

830
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 5: made a move that was very that was scheduled with

831
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 5: Terrence Steel. Here's why they did that. They they it

832
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 5: was on the it was on the docket to do

833
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 5: this regardless. I mean, this is this is a thing

834
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 5: when they did the contract in his second year. I

835
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 5: guess they did the contract last year. So the second

836
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 5: year you trigger this, you create four or five million

837
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 5: dollars on the cap. I think the reason why they

838
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 5: did it is to just help themselves in case they

839
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 5: didn't do the DAC deal. They did it on Saturday

840
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 5: before the deal was done on Sunday, protected themselves. Because

841
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,320
Speaker 5: people don't realize this, but teams need You need about

842
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 5: three to four million dollars just for your elevations each week.

843
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 6: You know a guy like visually.

844
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 5: I mean, think about what the guys make on the

845
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 5: practice squad and then what do they make for a

846
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 5: game day check. So the difference every single week that

847
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 5: adds up and it's about three four million dollars. So

848
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 5: you need that kind of money. You need that plus

849
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 5: if you hit knock on wood. But if you have

850
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 5: an injury, you need to go get a player, you

851
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,760
Speaker 5: need to get a veteran, whatever, you need. Those things

852
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 5: cause money too, so you gotta have some wiggle room

853
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 5: on your salary cap. They did that thinking, who knows

854
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 5: what happened with Dak, let's make this move. And then

855
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 5: now once they made the move with Dak and they

856
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 5: signed him to an extension that actually does lower his

857
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 5: salary cap this year considerably, so they're good. But all

858
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 5: of that money is rolling into next year, so they're

859
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:45,760
Speaker 5: not getting space so they can go sign a player

860
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 5: that will put them over the top. I don't really

861
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 5: know if that guy is out there, but what they're

862
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 5: doing is creating some space so they can roll some

863
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 5: of that money for next year.

864
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 6: Next year they're definitely gonna need.

865
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 5: They're gonna be hurting on the salary cap, and they're

866
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,879
Speaker 5: trying to do everything they can to prevent that. Right now,

867
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,760
Speaker 5: all right, Next caller is RDJ in New Jersey.

868
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: RDJ.

869
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 6: We lose them. I think we lost them.

870
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:09,720
Speaker 3: R DJ.

871
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 6: Are you there?

872
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: What's that name?

873
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 13: Hey?

874
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:15,439
Speaker 9: How you doing there?

875
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 12: Nick Good? I figured if Pete can call in twice,

876
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 12: I can try to call into twice two because I

877
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 12: called yesterday there you go, all right? So anyway, I

878
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 12: had a text you yesterday as well about Brian Schottenheimer.

879
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 12: There was an interview that was done with him by

880
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 12: the media and they was asked about Ezekiel Elliott and

881
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 12: having him back in the role that he's playing, and

882
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 12: then he made a question of shapment about all the

883
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,240
Speaker 12: running backs are doing the same thing that Ezekiel does,

884
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 12: including getting short yardage or even picking up blocks, and

885
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 12: in my opinion, not all of them are capable of

886
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 12: doing what he does. Well, I just wanted to know

887
00:41:58,680 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 12: what your opinion was on it.

888
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I mean Zeke is different that way. I mean,

889
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 5: that's that's what makes him who he is. I mean.

890
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 5: Jerry Jones was interviewed on the Fan one O five

891
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 5: to three on his regular Tuesday time and he talked

892
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 5: about it three times in the interview about Zeke and

893
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 5: his blocking and what he was able to provide there

894
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 5: and how different different that he is there, so he's

895
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 5: not like everyone. And also you know they understand too

896
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 5: that you you just bought him, you know, was it

897
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,800
Speaker 5: two hundred and forty million dollar house and your payments

898
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 5: are sixty million per year on that house, so you

899
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 5: better get a fence around it that can protect that house.

900
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 5: And if not, and that's your offensive line, and maybe

901
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 5: you need one of those dogs that's going to just

902
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 5: make sure that anybody that comes to the door that

903
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,919
Speaker 5: they're gonna have to deal with something. And that's that's Zeke,

904
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 5: That's what that is. And so that is that's a

905
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 5: situation where you know, the Cowboys are protecting themselves and

906
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 5: that's the priority that they're they're looking at. You know,

907
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 5: you guys are looking at running backs because everybody self included,

908
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 5: plays fantasy football. This is your starting running back, he

909
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 5: needs this many carries. But well, they're not looking at

910
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 5: it that way. This is a passing team, we know that,

911
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 5: but there are times you have to run the ball.

912
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 5: Zeke can do that. He can get short yarded situations.

913
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 5: He can also protect his quarterback when when he's out

914
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 5: there throwing the ball, throwing it to CD tight ends

915
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,439
Speaker 5: and all that stuff. So the value that they're looking

916
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 5: at there is a different Zeke than what we saw before.

917
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 5: Rookie Zeke, all that stuff different, the yardage, it's not

918
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 5: not the same, but still very effective and very valuable

919
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 5: in his own way and That's one of the things

920
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 5: that I think is certainly underrated for him, but like

921
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 5: I said, provides a lot of value for sure.

922
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 6: All right, let's go to Bruce in Houston.

923
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 15: Bruce, Hey, Nick ky, No buddy, long time no here?

924
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 1: I know, man, how are you just been busy?

925
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 15: You know, I wasn't a big fan of the dak signing.

926
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 15: You know, I'll feel about that. I think they should

927
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 15: have waited, but hey, they did. It ain't our money,

928
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:57,959
Speaker 15: but it would have been. It would have been nice

929
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 15: for them to say, you know, listen, get me to

930
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 15: the championship or super Bowl and then we'll cut you

931
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 15: that sixty million dollar check. But you know, Jerry did

932
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 15: what Jerry does. My question is, I haven't heard I

933
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 15: heard Mickey speak a little bit about the details of it.

934
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 15: Are there any no trade claws in it? Or can

935
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 15: they get out of it in a couple of years

936
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 15: If he what's the bed so to speak? So if

937
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 15: you can speak a little bit about that and the

938
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 15: way I think they're going to do now signing back

939
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 15: to this huge contract, it should afford them. I know

940
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 15: they wanted to get Jonathan Brooks. I believe it was

941
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 15: last year in the draft at a University of Texas

942
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 15: running back. So maybe they can spend a first or

943
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 15: second or maybe trade out of the first and top

944
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 15: three pick get a good solid running back because you

945
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 15: do need young, young legs and that that position. So

946
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 15: I can see them doing that next year. But if

947
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 15: you can talk about maybe contract with Prescott and see

948
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 15: how that's going, Good day, everyone.

949
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 5: All right, thank you? All right, Bruce. You know, it's

950
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 5: it's easy to say that, like like, well, just just

951
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 5: make him earn it, you know that that kind of stuff,

952
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 5: But I think what what people forget? And and naturally,

953
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:16,959
Speaker 5: so when you're not here every day, you know, and

954
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:22,240
Speaker 5: seeing you know, every meeting, every interview, every bus ride,

955
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:28,280
Speaker 5: every plane ride, every huddle, it's it's a sensitive situation

956
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 5: when you when you're you're like, am I your guy?

957
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 5: Or am I not your guy? You want me to

958
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 5: be my guy?

959
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 9: Right now?

960
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 5: I've been doing this eight years of might have I

961
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 5: not proven it yet? What do you what do you

962
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 5: want me to prove? You want me to go to

963
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 5: the super Bowl? Well, why don't you fix this and

964
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 5: this and this? And so there's the easy ways to

965
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 5: fingerpoint and all this kind of stuff. And as this

966
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:49,240
Speaker 5: was the season didn't even start yet, and every question,

967
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 5: every answer by Dak, you could kind of sense it

968
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 5: was starting to get You know, it's it's it's personal,

969
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 5: it's sensitive. So do you want that? And I'm not

970
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 5: saying I'm not saying you have to just you know, well,

971
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 5: the guy wants a deal, so you might as well

972
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 5: give him a deal. No, But I think they look

973
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 5: at it differently. They wanted him to be the quarterback

974
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 5: of the team. They wanted that to happen. They didn't

975
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 5: want this to go every single week, with every play,

976
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 5: every win, every loss, to get to throw contract talk

977
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 5: with it. And so that was the decision. And Dak

978
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 5: and his agent were smart, this is our number, this

979
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:27,839
Speaker 5: is the number. We don't have to take it right now.

980
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 5: We'll go play next year and we'll play somewhere else

981
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 5: and we'll get sixty five million probably next year. But

982
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 5: if you want to knock this out and do it

983
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 5: right now, this is what they did. As for no trade,

984
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,399
Speaker 5: I believe there is. I believe that it's the same

985
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 5: it's the same setup it is before. But again, those

986
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 5: no trade clauses can be waived real easily if it

987
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 5: were if it's a better situation for him.

988
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 6: It's a four year deal and they're lowering.

989
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 5: It's for your extension, so it's four years on top

990
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 5: of this season. I mean, you can always get out

991
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 5: of deals, but it's not going to be cheap because

992
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 5: most of it's guaranteed. So not really that this is

993
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 5: Dock's the guy for the next you know, really four

994
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:08,919
Speaker 5: to five years and that's fine.

995
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 6: All right? Horace in Atlanta, what's up?

996
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 3: What's up?

997
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 16: Nick?

998
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:14,399
Speaker 14: How you doing good?

999
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 1: Man? How are you doing good?

1000
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 3: I haven't talked to you in a long time. I

1001
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 3: used to call in when you were on the break.

1002
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 3: Congratulations on your show.

1003
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 5: Appreciate it. I think this first time calling for this

1004
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 5: show for sure, absolutely what it is. Here we go there,

1005
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 5: we go.

1006
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 3: Appreciate that. Appreciate that. Yeah, I've been wondering. I wanted

1007
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 3: to ask you, you know one time. I remember we

1008
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 3: talked about how we always wanted the Cowboys to haven't

1009
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 3: I did it? You know, and that I think that's

1010
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 3: important that you know, those those Cowboys teams of the

1011
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 3: past always had an identity of being physical at the

1012
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 3: office of line, and I think they're trying to create

1013
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 3: that now. I mean, it definitely looked physical against Cleveland,

1014
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 3: and I was really happy about that. But the thing

1015
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 3: in the second half I wasn't that was disappointing was

1016
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 3: that they didn't really try and run ball as much

1017
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 3: as I thought they should. If you got you know, Dato,

1018
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 3: and I'm so glad they got ze back. Just if

1019
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,839
Speaker 3: there's nothing more for those short yardage, you know, goal

1020
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 3: line situations, red zone situations. I think he's ideal for that,

1021
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 3: but I still would have liked their seeing them, you know,

1022
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 3: run the ball a whole lot more, especially in the

1023
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 3: second half. Just I don't care if you're going three

1024
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 3: and out, but at least you're trying to do that,

1025
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 3: and you know, just really say, look, this is what

1026
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 3: we need to work on and just find out those areas.

1027
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 3: But I was just wondering if you think they need

1028
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,359
Speaker 3: to be more creative in that area or is it

1029
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 3: just why did they kind of get away from that?

1030
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 4: You know?

1031
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 3: And do you think, what do you think our identity

1032
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:43,760
Speaker 3: is right now?

1033
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:44,359
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1034
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 5: Well the identity you know, I think you wanted to

1035
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:49,280
Speaker 5: thanks for the call of horrors.

1036
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 6: Good to hear from me.

1037
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:54,319
Speaker 5: I think I think your identity is I've always kind

1038
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 5: of struggled with that, because you know, I think you

1039
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 5: have a record that is attached to your to your name,

1040
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 5: I mean to your team.

1041
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 6: So that's what it is. I mean, you are what

1042
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 6: you are.

1043
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 5: And and and that's and that's you don't necessarily have

1044
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 5: to are you a running team or you a passing team.

1045
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 5: You just want to be a winning team, and you

1046
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:12,800
Speaker 5: want to be able to be a balanced team. To me,

1047
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 5: that's what the identity should be. Your identity should be.

1048
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 5: We can win in any way you want to win,

1049
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 5: any time you want to do, whatever you want to do.

1050
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 5: We can go and and and win this way, this this,

1051
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 5: we can win this way. And so that's that's what

1052
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 5: I think that that you know, I think the identity

1053
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 5: should be. I think they're a passing team better than

1054
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 5: they are running.

1055
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,800
Speaker 6: We know that. And look at what they're they're doing.

1056
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 5: And running back by committee while they pay their quarterback

1057
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 5: and they pay their receiver. And I mean, we we

1058
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:43,839
Speaker 5: get that. So that's what they are right now. They're

1059
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,479
Speaker 5: they're a team that can pass the ball around, uh

1060
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 5: that they can do a control passing game, and they

1061
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 5: run when they need to.

1062
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 6: That's it.

1063
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 5: When you get in the red zone, it is tough.

1064
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 5: It's tough to score. It's tough to score that way,

1065
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 5: so they need to be a little bit more balanced.

1066
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 5: I don't know if that answers the question, because I

1067
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 5: don't know if if that's an e easy question to answer,

1068
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 5: I'll say it again.

1069
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 6: I think.

1070
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 5: I think the identity you want to have is you

1071
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 5: want to be able to win high scoring games, if

1072
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 5: you have to, low scoring games, if you need to

1073
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 5: whatever it is. Be able to adapt because games you're

1074
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,839
Speaker 5: always having to pivot in the middle of the game.

1075
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 5: Be good enough to win a running game, be good

1076
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 5: enough to win a shootout. That's what I think this

1077
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 5: team needs to do. We saw that last year. They

1078
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 5: scored all kinds of points Blue teams out but when

1079
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 5: they needed to run the football in the playoff game

1080
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 5: and stop the run, they couldn't do it. It was

1081
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 5: one of those tough, grinded out games, and the Packers

1082
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 5: just were way too better than the Cowboys were for that.

1083
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:35,399
Speaker 5: They weren't built for it, and they should have been.

1084
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 5: So that's what I think they needed. Their identity needs

1085
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 5: to be winning every single way possible. All right, guys,

1086
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 5: outstanding week man, I'm sorry, outstanding day. It has been

1087
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 5: a great week. We got one more day to talk

1088
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 5: about Cowboys and Saints. Fourteen calls, a lot of first

1089
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 5: time callers, a lot of callers from the Northeast. You guys, Hey,

1090
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:54,759
Speaker 5: they're going to have to win in the Northeast this

1091
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 5: year to win the division. They got to be strong

1092
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 5: up there. We were strong up there today, no doubt

1093
