3
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: Cowboys Screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at

4
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: the Star in Frisco. Elliott, Here are Mickey Spagnola, Brian Bravis,

5
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: Rob Phillips, and Bill Jones, and a happy victory Monday

6
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: to you as we are broadcasting as usual from the

7
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: s WBC Mortgage studios here at the Star in Frisco,

8
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: starting another work weekend. After a thirty one to six

9
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: win over the Miami Dolphins, your Dallas Cowboys are now

10
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: three and oh on the season for the first time

11
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: since two thousand and eight. They are three and oh

12
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: in a season and have a two game lead in

13
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: the National Football Conference Eastern Division. Things couldn't have gone

14
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: any better this weekend, probably for the Cowboys. The Giants

15
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: did win on Sunday, but Cowboys. Some people raise it

16
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: as taking care of business against the Dolphins. I think

17
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,839
Speaker 1: it was a little more than that myself. But things,

18
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: what do you think? Well? Things played out the way

19
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: I thought they would play out in the game. I

20
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: thought it would be close for a while where maybe

21
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: people would be on the verge of throwing things at

22
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: TV's at by halftime always. Twitter did not think it

23
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: should be close at halftime, exactly based on my mentions. Yeah,

24
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: that's right. And I had it picked as a twenty

25
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: four to three game, and they were roughly on that

26
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: schedule and late, yeah, until a late touchdown. But now

27
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: I thought there was a good win, and you move

28
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: on to the next one, and now things really get interesting.

29
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: What do you think, Brian? You know, I felt like

30
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: though that we kind of were looking at what Robert

31
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: Quinn could potentially do, and the fact that he went

32
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: out there and played the number of plays he did

33
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: and played him effectively, I think says a lot about him,

34
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: the professionalism he has. It's unfortunate that he had the

35
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: two game suspension because you know, maybe we would have

36
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: thought a little bit different about this Cowboys pass rush

37
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: if he was in there full time. But they were

38
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: able to pick things up in the second half. I

39
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: agree with you. I thought Miami was gonna give you

40
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: the best shot. I thought they were going to play

41
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: the game unconventionally, they were gonna go for it more

42
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: and fourth down they did try the on side kick,

43
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: which they were a step away from picking that thing

44
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: off and making it work. So uh yeah. Overall, yeah,

45
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: it's a player for a player that the Cowboys were

46
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: clearly a better team, but you know the Dolphins are.

47
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: They have pride to They're not going to let you,

48
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: you know, go up and down the field on him,

49
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: and you know they're gonna play a little bit better defense.

50
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: I felt like when they made the quarterback switch that

51
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: that that that gave him any chance to being really

52
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: competitive overall, because I thought the ball would go down

53
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: the field. Of plays the Cowboys did give up, the

54
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: big plays were down the field, so I was thinking,

55
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen can't make those plays where the other guy

56
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: would make those plays. But good job in the second

57
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: half of the defense and then good job of the

58
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 1: offense getting go. I think the touchdown that started the

59
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: third quarter really took a lot of air out of

60
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. You know, their situation when they fumbled the

61
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: ball and now they have to they give up a

62
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: touchdown on that quick drive that the Cowboys have. I

63
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: thought that took a lot out of them. I think

64
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: based on watching them yesterday and what's happened to them

65
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: in the season so far, they're a young team that

66
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: when they get down, maybe it demoralizes them a little

67
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: bit in the second half. Because Jason Witten told us

68
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: last week, you turn on the tape, this is not

69
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: like some big twelve team. They've got talent. I think

70
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: they found a quarterback. It's not Ioways State, it's not

71
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: always State. They found a quarterback. They've got some wide

72
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: receivers that can get open to make plays. They I

73
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: thought they did a nice job covering the Cowboys wide

74
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: receivers in the first half. Yeah, some missopportunities as well

75
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: in the passing game for Dak and those guys, but

76
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: they kind of settled in. Like you said, Brian, Robert

77
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: Quinn was around the ball constantly, especially in the second

78
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: half of the DeMarcus Lawrence was too. They just weren't

79
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: always getting home and some of the execution on both

80
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: sides of the ball was just better as the game

81
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: went on and the talent of this team took over.

82
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: That's why the guy who invented the game put four

83
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: quarters in the game, right, not two. And I think

84
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: the Cowboys as they were a better team and they

85
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: just wore them down as the game went along. And

86
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: the Cowboys did what they should have done. They won

87
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: the game. They got to three and oz. They put

88
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,799
Speaker 1: up four hundred and seventy six yards total offense despite

89
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: the blackout in the first half. Despite it, they still

90
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: had four and seventy six yards two hundred and thirty

91
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: five yards rushing, just the way I told you they would,

92
00:04:52,560 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: by the way. Uh two guys, Yeah, I was. I'm Mickey.

93
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: My middle name is I'm right at that. You know,

94
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: at some point people are going to figure that out.

95
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: Sure we already have. Not the guy that called me

96
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: out on Twitter saying, oh, he talked about good Miami

97
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: was gonna be and they were gonna give him trouble,

98
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: and then he picked him to win by thirty four

99
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: to nine. He told us, you don't listen to Twitter.

100
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: I read, Yes, I didn't listen to it. I read it. Unfortunately.

101
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: I'll say what it could have been. It could have

102
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: been worse for the Dolphins if you take away to

103
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: that the holding penalties. You know, they had an eighteen

104
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: yard run that was brought back on a Lyle Collins hold,

105
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: and then they also had Connor Williams on the seventy

106
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 1: two yard touchdown paths, So things could have been a

107
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: lot worse. I just felt like that the NFL is

108
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: is hard. It's a hard place to win, and when

109
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: you do win, just feel good and move on. And

110
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure right now in Seattle they're feeling

111
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: really poorly about the Saints going in there and kind

112
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: of them knocking them around. They have so much pride

113
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: about that, you know, Saints coming off a bad loss.

114
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: I felt like with against the Rams, you know, they

115
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: weren't even competitive in that game, and then here they

116
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: go and you go up to Seattle get a nice

117
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: win there. I know. It's but it's just tough to win.

118
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: It's wherever you go. It's a tough place to win,

119
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: you know, because these guys dull they will find a

120
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 1: way to bring their game. And again the everybody's right here.

121
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: The Dolphins clearly don't have enough personnel to play with

122
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,679
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. That's not the Cowboys fault. That's the Dolphins

123
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: fault for the way they built their team. But you

124
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: got to play at the games, and and the Cowboys

125
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 1: got through this one, and like everybody says, onto the

126
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: next one. And and as you pointed out, Um coming

127
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: out in the start of the second half and doing

128
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,239
Speaker 1: what they did, and Mickey looking to it as well,

129
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: when you when you come out and they basically scored

130
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: two touchdowns on one drive. Yeah, okay, and I made

131
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: a mistake and overcame that and just went and four

132
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: plays did it again, and they knew and they resolved

133
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: in their mind at halftime that hey, we, as Dak

134
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: said after the game, we have a chance to be

135
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: a really really good team. And now let's go out

136
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: and show that we are a really really good team,

137
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: which is what they did at the start of the

138
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: second half, you know. And and let's remember the first

139
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,679
Speaker 1: drive of the game, they drove right down the field.

140
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: The problem was they stalled out and had to kick

141
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: a field goal once they reached the eleven yard line.

142
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: So it wasn't like Miami stopped them. They drove right

143
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: down and then they went three, and then they had

144
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: to kick a field goal, and then the next time

145
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: they got the ball, they drove right down the field

146
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: and scored a touchdown. I think I think if it

147
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: was fourteen to six at halftime, maybe everybody would have

148
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: felt a little bit better. Well, I mean, Miami left

149
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: ten points on the board in the first half as well,

150
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: and the forty seven yard field goal, right, and like

151
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: a turnover and had a drop that should have been

152
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: a touchdown before the fumble recover, any challenge, it should

153
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: have been challenged. Yeah, why didn't you challenge that? Or

154
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: how about the Parker drop? Yeah over the middle, yeah,

155
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: right down inside the five yard line. Oh no, that's

156
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: the one I think, Yeah Williams, which I thought I

157
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: was sorry, Yeah, we touchdown? Don't you think I thought

158
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,559
Speaker 1: it was? I thought it was there was movement the ball.

159
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just a was just kept pulling at

160
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: that ball and that's the only chance he had. And

161
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: as I think Al Riveron said in his little video

162
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: on Twitter, he still has to even though he's in

163
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: the end zone, he still has to control and make

164
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: a football move. And so in that instance you credit

165
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: the defender. The defender e Wuzier kept him from making

166
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: a football move right and knocked it out at the

167
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: same time. And so I think it was worth a

168
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: challenge me too. But you know, you know if I

169
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: was wrong. But hey, but wait a second. I mean

170
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: people were talking about that, they're oh and two, why

171
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: do they have to lose and challenge that? Well, if

172
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: you get a look at it and you don't think

173
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: you're gonna win the challenge, save your time out, because

174
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: they could have used if if Drake doesn't fumble at

175
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: the end of the first half, they needed that time

176
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: out to try to score a touchdown at the end

177
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: of the half. Sure, And so I mean there's two

178
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: ways to look at that. You're not giving up on

179
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: the let me ask him or whatever, real quick, I

180
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: could bigger concern. Are we still talking about the pass rush?

181
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: Are we talking about the chunk plays that they're given up?

182
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: That's what I was referring to earlier. They had at

183
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: least I didn't count it fully, but I'm counting two

184
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: nineteen yard completions. They had at least four explosive plays

185
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: allowed downfield in the first half, and that's not typical

186
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: of this defense, right, you know, And I mentioned, you

187
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: know ten points that the Dolphins probably should have had

188
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: a lead in the first half, or at least it

189
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: should have been tight because Mickey's right, four of six

190
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys offensive drives in the first half stalled because of

191
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 1: the Dack interception or a penalty or a drop or something.

192
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: So either way, Dolphins hung in there in first half,

193
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: and they could have had more points on the board

194
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: either way. So pass rush got better in the second half,

195
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: and I think you and I agreed, like they were

196
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: around the ball affecting rows in a little bit more

197
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: than maybe the perception was the game too. Sure he

198
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: was off his mark most of the time. Yeah, I

199
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: mean Dack's interception, and he spoke to it last night.

200
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: He had too much time. I counted up nine seconds

201
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: to kind of scramble around two guys open. He saw

202
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: he saw both guys opened at the same time, and

203
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 1: got caught to which one to throw it too. Yeah. Actually,

204
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: actually he said, I went through my progressions, my three

205
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 1: progressions three times each. Yeah, which just doesn't happen in

206
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,599
Speaker 1: that point, and they throw the ball away. But but

207
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: at that point, I've got I've got so much time here,

208
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: I got him. I gotta take advantage of this opportunity

209
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: where they're giving me this much time. I gotta make

210
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: a point. The offensive line was outstanding. He was sacked

211
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: once and it was covered sacked. Taco finally got him down.

212
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: But to Brian's point, I mean, the chunk plays, weren't

213
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: you It's not I mean you got to you gotta

214
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: limit those, right, I mean, yeah, I'm sure that was

215
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: the message at halftime for sure. Now they weren't really

216
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: telling us what the message was at halftime, I'm sure

217
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: it was a pretty stern one. Well, you know, whatever

218
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: it was, they gave up a whole sixty seven yards

219
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: of the second half, and thirty five were on the

220
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: Dolphins last drive. So I understand the chunk stuff. There's

221
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: a reason why these quarterbacks throw in this league for

222
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 1: three yards. Yeah, you know, you're not going to be perfect.

223
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: Oh does it need to be better? I get it,

224
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: and I'm absolutely with you. But at the end of

225
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: the day, it was six points. I get it. I'm

226
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: not our Dallas is punishing opponents with chunk plays. That's

227
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: what I mean. You could get you know that. That's

228
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: the thing that I think is really good about this

229
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 1: offense now is you know, we've talked about its ability

230
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: to run the football. Always had the ability to run

231
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: the football. But now you're getting those plays down the field,

232
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: you're getting those throws down the field, and they're making

233
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: those big plays. And so I think it's great how

234
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: the Dallas offense has taken advantage of those of their

235
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 1: weapons and made those chunk plays. But I'm wondering on

236
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 1: the other side, though, is it you know it? Is

237
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: it because of the way the league is now, because

238
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: of the past interferences and the skill level and the

239
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and all that. Is that something we're just going

240
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: to see from this defense. But I've always said, I've

241
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: always said, I've always said that if they don't give

242
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: up points, that's the most important thing. Well, I agree

243
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: with Rod Marinelli and Christopher Shardon, those guys over there.

244
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: I'll give up five hundred yards if it means I'll

245
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:03,599
Speaker 1: give up ten points. I mean, you're not going to

246
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: play teams like Miami and Washington and those people every week.

247
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: Sometimes somebody will get five hundred yards and score thirty

248
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: one points, like Dallas did yesterday. I said this in

249
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: the postgame show First Word presented by Doctor Pepper, that

250
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: this defense has such a high standard, right, And you

251
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: look at the first half, and there's some things you

252
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: talked about the chunk players, they could clean them up.

253
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: You look at the box score at the end, you

254
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: said six points. Yeah, three games, opponents are seven of

255
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: thirty five on third down. Absolutely, they're getting off the field.

256
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: Micky mentioned how many yards they allowed in the second half.

257
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: I think they're fourth and points allowed fourteen points seven.

258
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: Now you know what Washington does tonight against Chicago, Yes, yes, now, yeah,

259
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: they could be third after tonight if Washington scores more

260
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: than twenty one. Now, some better offenses, without question, are

261
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: coming up, better quarterbacks, all those things. But they're doing

262
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: what you're supposed to do. Get off the field, get

263
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: keep them out of the end zone. I think you

264
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: know what the sign is, and I know there's a

265
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: bunch of people probably complaining out there, is they've gotten

266
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: good to the point where now it's expected for them

267
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: to be perfect and it's not going to happen. You

268
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 1: want to be better. And I thought Jeff Heath and

269
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: being my column when he gets posted today, he said,

270
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: we got to play to our standards. And that's what

271
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: everybody kept talking about in the locker room, both offense

272
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: and defense. Didn't matter who we're playing, We've got our

273
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: standard we're supposed to play too. And Heath pointed out

274
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: that in Marinelli standard for the defense, they were oh

275
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: and two by the way they played in the first

276
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: two games according versus their standard. And I said, so

277
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: what do you think this time? Is he going to

278
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: give you a win? He goes, well, I don't know

279
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: it's better but half a win, see what he has

280
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: to say. Yeah, but that I thought that was a

281
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: good approach for them to keep continue to take. You

282
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: have a standard that you want to play too, and

283
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: did you play to it? You didn't in the first half,

284
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 1: you did in the second half. Now you got to

285
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: put that together for a full game because they owe

286
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: and two means he didn't like those last drives in

287
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: those first two games that allowed the team just to

288
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: just drive right down this field and score when you

289
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: had held a team to ten and fourteen points for

290
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: three and a half quarters. Can this offense maintain this

291
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: scoring pace? I mean what you always like to talk

292
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: about what you saw the last eight games of the season.

293
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: Last night with the trade for Maury Cooper and then

294
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: now three games in. I mean, we can talk about

295
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: the playoff games if you want. I mean, if you

296
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: want to include that or not, I think you have to.

297
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: But can this offense maintain that level to maybe the

298
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: word mask is probably the wrong word to use, but

299
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: kind of soften maybe some of the issues that defense

300
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: might had that we didn't see. Whether they're not going

301
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: to score over thirty points a game every week, and

302
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: there's only two teams in the league that have scored

303
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: thirty points or more in each of the first three games,

304
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: and those are the Patriots and the Cowboys. And now

305
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: the question is can they What you're talking about is

306
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: it's not so much over thirty points but the scoring

307
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: pace in terms of around Can they give me twenty six?

308
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: Really possible? Because the offensive line, they weren't happy with

309
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: the way they pass protected in particular last year, pass

310
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: protection has been outstanding. If Dad continues to have those

311
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: clean pockets, they have guys that can separate, and Michael

312
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: Gallup will get back eventually, hopefully below that four week time.

313
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: He's not going to practice this week though, but hopefully,

314
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: you know, closer than two weeks than four, right, That's

315
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: what Stephen Jones kind of indicated us in pre game.

316
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: That's hopefully sooner than later. They have so many weapons that,

317
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: like we talked about, eventually throughout a game they're going

318
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: to take over. Yeah. So not to mention Tony Pollard

319
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: now getting into the mix. If we go back to

320
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: last year when I pointed out five of eight games

321
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: twenty seven or more, now you've got eight of eleven

322
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: games twenty seven or more, and six of those eight

323
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: are thirty points or more. Yeah, So I don't know

324
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: if they can keep it up, but there I think

325
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: that they can average somewhere. You know what, they're showing

326
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: us twenty seven points or so, they're averaging thirty. So

327
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: they were average thirty three going in. They got thirty one,

328
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: so it's probably about thirty two. Now what were they

329
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: for the season last year, like twenty one? Yeah, but

330
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: the first eight games. But my point is they're they're

331
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: just better than that this year. Yeah, they're just a

332
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: more efficient group. Well, they have a better talent. Right,

333
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: I'll see you what you show me that you can

334
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: have two guys run the football the way they do,

335
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: they can do some damage to some teams because all

336
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: of a sudden, now you're starting to think about, Okay,

337
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: I've got to I've got to I've got to cover

338
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: the whole field. And now I mean it's taking players

339
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: out of the box to have to cover the whole field.

340
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: And now you're running the ball up inside. You can

341
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: hand it to twenty one or twenty and you're gonna

342
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: get that's we're gonna get. Orleans has been doing here

343
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: the last several years with Ingram and Kimara, and now

344
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: they've got Murray and Kimara. Kimar though he took over

345
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: the yesterday Holy Chief. Yeah. Yeah. It was two players

346
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: in that game on offense for the Saints, Thomas and Kamara.

347
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: That's it. Screens inside routes, screen inside routes. But you're

348
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 1: gonna you are going to run into better defenses. There's

349
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: no question about it. Green Bays arguably the best in

350
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: the league so far. Watching a little bit of the

351
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: Rams last night, those guys tackle their tackle world. There

352
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: they pressure you. I mean, they're gonna run into tougher opponents,

353
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: there's no question about it. But you have to like

354
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: what they're doing. The thing I like about this this

355
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: team after three games is we talked about the standard

356
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: on defense. Dak going to Kellen after the game. My bad,

357
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: I'm too greedy. In the first half, they're not satisfied.

358
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: And I remember two thousand and eight. I don't know

359
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: why it's burned in my memory, but their tunnel of

360
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: Lambeau Field. They're they're three and oz. They just kind

361
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: of stomped the Packers in Week three and one of

362
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: the one player I can't remember who it was, but

363
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: he was like, you know, we just want to fast

364
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: forward and get this thing to the playoffs. And I

365
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: remember thinking, in my mind, that's not the best. It's

366
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: probably not the best approach to have. And I don't

367
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: see that from these guys, at least that's not the

368
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: way they convey to us how they're thinking. They might

369
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: have fast forward the playoffs. It went for Brad Johnson

370
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: have to play three games to just pointing that out

371
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: well and to that point, as far as this Dolphins

372
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: game is concerned, I love where it was in the

373
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys schedule and and the way this schedule was set

374
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: up with a Giants team in flux, a Redskins team

375
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: in flux, and a Dolphins team the way it is

376
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: because this has built confidence for this team the first

377
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: three games. And if this Dolphins game had been scheduled

378
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: in November, like in between the Eagles and the Patriots

379
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: or something like that, it could have been a trap

380
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: game for him. Whatever, they weren't going to lose it.

381
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: But now in my mind, the season starts. Add Yeah,

382
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: Nate Newton said, welcome to the preseasons. Now over, get

383
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: ready for the regular season. Here we go. That's seventh,

384
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,479
Speaker 1: the Post add the Eagles to a team that might

385
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: be in flux. You know, if you're talking about teams

386
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: you have to face here in the next next three

387
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: weeks or so next four weeks. Yeah, and you know,

388
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: and somebody asked me today question about if if they

389
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: go into New Orleans and lose, you know, is that

390
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: tell you what this team is? And it's like a

391
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: lot of teams have gone into New Orleans on Sunday

392
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: night and gotten beaten, you know, and it happens. But

393
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: New Orleans would be a team in flux if we

394
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: didn't see what we saw yesterday in Seattle. I think

395
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: it's a little different. Yeah, if if they've gone over

396
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: and rolled over in Seattle and it would have been

397
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: a bad loss, then you would have seen a definitely

398
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: team in flux. But but you said it, that's shot

399
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: out team. Sean Payton is going to play to the

400
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: strengths of Teddy Bridgewater. He is just get ready, he is.

401
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: It's not Drew Brees's offense. This is going to be

402
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: They're gonna throw the screen to Taysom Hill. They're gonna

403
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: throw the ball the Kamara, They're gonna hand him the ball.

404
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: They still have a big, physical offensive line. You know

405
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: that that is that is still a team, like you said, Mickey,

406
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: when you down there and play them, it will look different. Though.

407
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: With Teddy Bridgewater playing quarterback. He it's remarkable how bad

408
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: he looked in the second half or when he had

409
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: to play in that Rams game, to how he looked

410
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: in that game yesterday. Just they just the fact that

411
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: he got to prepare a week for the game made

412
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 1: it a lot different. Hey, and we're talking a guy

413
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: started games in this league, right, It's not like he's

414
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: one of these young guys coming and got a good roster.

415
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: And if you look at what all these backup quarterbacks

416
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: and young quarterbacks making their first starts did yesterday, a

417
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: majority of them one. Yeah. So yeah, you know it's

418
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: not easy, this is the league. But you know if

419
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: you lose one and it's not over, well, Dennis Allen's

420
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 1: not going to be able to sleep very well watching tape.

421
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: He I mean, he watches all three games. Their breakdowns

422
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: are gonna he's gonna see a lot of big plays

423
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: for this Cowboys offense. He's gonna see a running game.

424
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden that they've got two guys

425
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,239
Speaker 1: that can really hammer the ball at you. And they

426
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: got a quarterback that, when he makes good decisions, he

427
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: could throw the ball just as good as anybody in

428
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: the league. That's going to be tough on them to

429
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: have to defend so and they'd better have a plan

430
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: to take to take care of of number nineteen. Yeah,

431
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: because Miami had no clue. Yeah, you know, you think

432
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 1: he took his matchup seriously. He got asked about, just

433
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: like everybody else, did you taking these guard against taking

434
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: these guys too lightly? I think he told Clarence they

435
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: got a Pro Bowl corner over there who I've played

436
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: against before. Yeah, he took it serious. So it was

437
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: six of eighty eight for two touchdowns, and he primarily

438
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 1: was on him almost every play, and he lost them,

439
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: lost them. Ryan wrote a vose on some of the

440
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: route he ran on the first touchdown, I think five

441
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: yards that that was just beautiful. Yeah, he set him

442
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: up nicely on that. All Right, we're I think we

443
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: can probably take some phone calls as we go along

444

494
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: good here. And that pass rush with Quinn in there,

495
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: hmm okay. After the game I asked him, I said,

496
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: so do you how many head? Any idea? How many

497
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 1: players you played? And he goes, you know, about fifty

498
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: And I said, did you plan to do that? Did

499
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: you think he would play that much? And he goes,

500
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: whatever they needed, Well, he played forty five. He ends

501
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: up with three tackles, one sack, one tackle for a loss,

502
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: one quarterback hit. They should come up with another category,

503
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: menace because he was a menace in the pocket. Yeah.

504
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,479
Speaker 1: He caused people to keep moving, keep rosen, keep moving.

505
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: I like that, and and he's got such a quick

506
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: now maybe fresh legs, I don't know, but that first

507
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: step of his he's coming around that corner like his

508
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: hair was on fire. And so this is gonna make

509
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: a difference on that side of the field, and it's

510
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 1: gonna help MALIEK Colin. We talked about it, sure, and

511
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: Malik came through for that tackle and it was like, man,

512
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: he looked like he was shot out of a cannon

513
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: on It was his sack right the tackle behind the

514
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. So yeah, you know when people have

515
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: to start worrying about him now, it's gonna make a

516
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: huge difference. Do you think about the way Christian Covington

517
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: played inside? You know what I was. He went out

518
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: with the calf injury and I was like, oh geez,

519
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 1: that's gonna hurt them inside for the depth and rotation.

520
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: He came back. He didn't look his he didn't look bad.

521
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: I was watching him play. You know, to me, there's

522
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: so much there's so much power in his game. And

523
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 1: you know on the on the on the Colin sack,

524
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: those guys were pushing, I mean they got they were

525
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,479
Speaker 1: getting the Dolphins on tape had shown that they had

526
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: problems with the twist stunts inside. That was something that

527
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: I mentioned in my final thoughts, and so it was

528
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: nice to see them get that sack the way they

529
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: did and use the twist stunt. But yeah, you know what,

530
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: he's really good against drunk He's hard to move, big body, yeah,

531
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 1: and just anchored out. Yeah, he just does he just

532
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: you know, he's not just slug. He's just not like

533
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: you know, we always talk about the trash can full

534
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: of dirt just doesn't do anything, just sits there. But

535
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: he's really an athletic guy. And then you put him

536
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: with Collins in there, you know, you got two big

537
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: men that can move, and that makes a big difference.

538
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: And you and Hill wasn't bad either. The opportunities that

539
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: he got, you know, to play. I was, I was,

540
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, I was worried about him getting washed a

541
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: couple of times. Sometimes we see him get real tall

542
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: and then he gets washed out of the play. Yeah,

543
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: it didn't happen to him in that game. He was played,

544
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: his pad level was down, he got up the field

545
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: a couple of times, he didn't kill him. I was

546
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: worried about him getting killed in these plays. And it

547
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: just didn't happen before Covington got hurt. He told me

548
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: after it was kind of something like the back of

549
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: his knee. Maybe it was more calf I don't know,

550
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: but he came back before that. They showed some faith

551
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: in Hill putting him in the goal line. They did,

552
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: and he did a nice job, and they tried him

553
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: to a field goal. They tried to block back on

554
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: him and he got up the field real quick man

555
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 1: made a nice play there coming hand and ended up

556
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 1: with three tackles a quarterback and passed batted at the

557
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. They had the back to back with

558
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: him and Joe Jackson. Joe Jackson, right, So, yeah, I

559
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: thought Covington was was fine. And you know they ran

560
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: for what seventy eight yards? Yeah, well, yeah, I mean

561
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: the opener sa Quon got loose on him one big

562
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: play in particular. Actually, you know, they ran pretty fairly

563
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: well the Giants did in Week one. But yeah, once again,

564
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: three yards of carry total on twenty four carries for Miami.

565
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: They're doing that job better than Week one for sure.

566
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: Peterson last week got ten carries twenty five yards. Right, yeah,

567
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: all right, let's go to Jean and Washington State. How

568
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: about what Chip Kelly of the UCLA Bruins did the

569
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: Washington State in the second half the other day thirty

570
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: two point deficited with sixty seven sixty three. But you

571
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: want to talk Cowboys, Gene. Yeah, I'm not a Truers fan.

572
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: So my question is for like, Brian, do you think

573
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: the Seahawks defense just really played bad yesterday? I mean

574
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: I watched that game. I'm not a Hawks fan at all,

575
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: but it's like, I've never seen him miss that many tackles. Oh,

576
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: they were bad. I mean no, I think I think

577
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: Kamara had a lot to do with that. I really do.

578
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you watched when they found ways downhill running

579
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: toss sweeps inside. I mean it was run a screen

580
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: on the goal line in the action the red zone

581
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: area for a touchdown that was well executed. I mean

582
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: they got Seattle coming up the field, everybody escapes, they

583
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: throw it out, boom he's up to and yeah, yeah

584
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. I understand what you're saying about how poorly

585
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: they tackled, but I think that it has a lot

586
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: to do with how good that back is, the way

587
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: his ability to take the ball find a hole, make

588
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: the cut, get up the field, he runs to a linebacker,

589
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: he runs through a safety. You know though, that's more

590
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: about him than I think how bad the Seahawks played

591
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: in that football game. But it was two players that

592
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: hurt him in that game. It really was. It was

593
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: Thomas and Kamara. Those were the two guys that hurt

594
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: them in that football game. And I think that's what

595
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: Sean Payton is going to do exactly. He's going to

596
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: find a way to make Teddy Bridgewater as comfortable as

597
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: possible playing here. All right, Jeane, we appreciate the call.

598
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: And by the way, I mentioned the Saints would have

599
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: been in flux as well as other teams, Sir, flux

600
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: means something that constantly changes. But really, even with a

601
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: different quarterback in Teddy Bridgewater, the Saints didn't change that much. No,

602
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: they just they leaned on their big time players they've

603
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: got They've got a good offensive line and it's a big,

604
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: physical offensive line. Now where the Cowboys will have some

605
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: advantage is to come with how well the Cowboys play

606
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: with quickness. You can't rush these guys down the middle.

607
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: You got to play on the edges with these guys.

608
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: You got to make them move a little bit, because

609
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: like the guys like Larry Woolford and those guys have problems.

610
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: Yesterday in the game when all of a sudden they

611
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: had big time problems against the Rams when the movement

612
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: started up front, when the Rams started adjusting their guys

613
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: and trying to run some twist stunts and things like that.

614
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: They it's a big body group that has problems moving.

615
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: You take him down the middle, they could block you

616
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: all day. So it's a good time to get fifty

617
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: eight back. Yeah, he could be. He could definitely. He

618
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: could definitely give you some uh, you know, some some

619
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: rush out there with you know, against Armstead, that the

620
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,239
Speaker 1: tackle for the Saints, and he's a guy that's he's

621
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: a good tackle. But having having Robert Quinn rush out

622
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: there's not a bad thing, all right. Jake ben Waugh

623
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: at Run Emmett Run on Twitter says, I know it

624
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: was later in the game, but can we please give

625
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: props to Joe Thomas. Dude lane Wood all over the

626
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: field yesterday embarrassment of riches at the linebacker position. Yeah,

627
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: snaps in the game. Yeah, I wrote about him too.

628
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: I wrote about he played a couple of different spots

629
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: he actually was on the field for Jalen Smith. I

630
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: think that's going to go up on Scout's eye to

631
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: day later on, I guess if they haven't put it

632
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: up yet. But yeah, the the Joe Thomas played played

633
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: for Sean Lee and he played for Jalen Smith. And

634
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: absolutely there was a couple of times where he played

635
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: in coverage where he was pretty good as well. So yeah,

636
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: he was a guy. I mean, we shouldn't be surprised

637
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: about Joe Thomas because we saw him all training camp

638
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: have productive practices. We saw him the preseason have productive games.

639
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: So Joe Thomas having a nice, you know, nice starts

640
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: of the season should not be surprised to anybody. I

641
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: just wonder was that a particular matchup or they just

642
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: feel like he's a good linebacker, we can work him

643
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: into a rotation. I think they're just trying to keep

644
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: their guys fresh as they can. You know, Sean Lee

645
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: just has not been the factor, and maybe it has

646
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: a lot to do with how much Nicolin stuff they play.

647
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: You got snaps on Lee yesterday, yes fourteen, Yeah, which

648
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: is about what he's had the first two games twelve

649
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: to fourteen. But he missed those impact plays though you

650
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: know where he Yeah, back in the day it was

651
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: a four. Here's the thing with like a Joe Thomas

652
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: and a Sean Lee and others at different positions on

653
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: this team. One of the reasons I feel really good

654
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: about this team long term this season is the quality

655
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: of the depth on the team. Well, that was the

656
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: question yesterday. Could the depth? Could the depth rise up

657
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: and play? And you know, you got you know, Thompson

658
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: did a nice job. You know, you look at what

659
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,959
Speaker 1: he was able to do. We talked about Covington, you

660
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: know what he was able to do. So some guys

661
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: had to step up and make plays, and you know,

662
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: for the most part, I felt like they did overall

663
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: because I think, like, in the case of both Thomas

664
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: and Sean Lee, what great insurance policies you have there?

665
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: Sure if something and knock on wood and where have

666
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: happened to the two starting linebackers. I wonder if they

667
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: looked at what was going on defensively and thought maybe

668
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: Thomas That's what I was asking Nicol was a little

669
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: bit better than Jalen's because some of those coverages. Just

670
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: wondering because in the first two games, I mean if

671
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: if Jalen's missed any snaps, it's like a couple per game.

672
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: He's pretty much the team and tackles. So didn't he

673
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: have ten? Yes, Yeah, so it's a demanding position too. Yeah, well,

674
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,239
Speaker 1: you know, Jalen, you guys might be right about that.

675
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: As far as the coverage aspect that I would never

676
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: want to put him in coverage and I just don't.

677
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: I just don't think that's a good fit for him.

678
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: And only played sixty five the snaps seven. Yeah, and

679
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 1: Thomas ended up playing like forty maybe looking ahead you

680
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: know what, where they're gonna be here. Yeah, with both

681
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 1: the Saints and the Packers coming up, Joe Thomas might

682
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: be a factor in the game plan. Absolutely. Yeah. They

683
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: didn't sub for Thompson either. He played them all. Every

684
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: play he did, he played well. I thought I did

685
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: play well. He showed up, right, he did show up.

686
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 1: That's that's the thing. I was worried about the ball

687
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: going down the field and nobody playing with any range.

688
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: By the way, you should get Woods back at practice.

689
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: My next question Xavier Woods. Yeah, it's what about Antoine. No,

690
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: I don't think that he's probably h and him and

691
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: Gallop both will be out for Gallop the week Gallop.

692
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: I thought maybe game he would get back with the

693
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: third week for the Packers games game the Packers. Okay, yeah,

694
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: all right, let's go to Jim in Los Angeles. Next

698
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,760
Speaker 1: garbage time the second of first half, in the last

699
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,439
Speaker 1: thirty seconds. I added it up last night. I came still.

Speaker 1: up to I looked it up last night. I can

703
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: consider is that considered garbage at the end of the half?

704
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: You consider that garbage because they came for the first

705
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 1: half way away from kicking a fish. I think they

706
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: tried to get I would think they were trying to

707
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: kind of take advantage of if they could pop a

708
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: couple of runs. It was three carries for thirty nine yards.

709
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 1: He went from the from their own nine eleven yards,

710
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: from the twenty fourteen yards, and then from the thirty

711
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: four fourteen yards. But it was with a purpose. I

712
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: got that mention on Twitter. You know he ran well

713
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: in the first half. What he he run for thirteen

714
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 1: for eighty six. But yeah, yeah, a couple of garbage

715
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: runs into the half. Well they almost they almost got

716
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: in position for a few five seconds left and a

717
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: half and with with timeouts. Yeah, I mean, what a

718
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: great um shrew. Surprise. I didn't there a screen to him,

719
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: you know, That's what I was kind of thinking. They

720
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: were maybe going to try and set something up. Everybody

721
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: backed off, but maybe Freddy Kitchens was watching the Cowboy

722
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: game and that's why they ran on thirty nine or

723
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: fourth and nine. Yeah, either get used to their collar,

724
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: do you em Are you still there? No? Okay, sorry,

725
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 1: I mean you wouldn't have considered it garbage if you

726
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: hit that hill. Mary. I mean that's what they were

727
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: trying to do. I thought they were trying to get shape. Well,

728
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: they were a great position to get into field goal range. Yeah. Um, well,

729
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,919
Speaker 1: well they had two seconds left after the fourteen yard

730
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: one one place short. What they were well, with thirteen

731
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: seconds left, Zeke had two carries for twenty five yards

732
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: thirteen seconds left there at the thirty four yard line,

733
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 1: and they basically were one twenty five yard pass away

734
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: from getting in field goal sure up for a fifty

735
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: eight yard or something from our which is all you

736
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: could ask for in that situation. I think that complete.

737
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:08,320
Speaker 1: I think they were happy to get out of the

738
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: half though, with that fumble recovery there down there, they

739
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 1: were kind of like, okay, and then all of a sudden,

740
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,919
Speaker 1: but did you I didn't, you know, And I'm trying

741
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: to kind of figure out the angle of the caller there,

742
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: but I felt like I didn't feel like that really

743
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: Dolphins had a really great answer for seek in that

744
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: game running the ball, you know. I mean, I know

745
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: there were a couple inside runs it was two yards,

746
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: two yards, three yards, whatever, But when the ball got

747
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: on the edge, I mean he had he had an

748
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 1: eighteen yard run that got called back on a holding

749
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: penalley he had, I mean, he had some plays. I

750
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: thought he ran the ball with a lot of toughness.

751
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: I don't think the caller was going into an angle

752
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: bad angle there, but I just think that I think

753
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: he was. Was he trying to Okay? If if that's

754
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: the case, then you know, I don't know what to

755
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: say other than I felt like though the physicality It's

756
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: even said on the postgame show last night. And I

757
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: maybe didn't watch, but it felt like every time he

758
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: was running the ball, he was finishing forward. Yes, every

759
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: time it was four And he had a couple of runs.

760
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: One of them was where he tripped in the backfield.

761
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: He was gone, but even after slipping in the backfield,

762
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: he was able to scramble forward and get four or

763
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: five yards on the play. And then the other play

764
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: was the one that the defensive tackle for the Dolphins. Uh,

765
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: there's getting a run on Twitter this morning, god chaw

766
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: or whatever. Uh. He Travis's Blockadeham and kind of threw

767
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: him aside. Yeah, and he got to Zeke, but he

768
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: didn't make the tackle. And Zeke again, it was almost

769
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 1: like a bear crawl for a four or five yards, right,

770
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: I mean the way he was finishing runs and getting

771
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: those extra yards. And it wasn't just one or two

772
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:50,280
Speaker 1: extra yards with a lean forward, it was with a vengeance,

773
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: you know what. And he may be a good example

774
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,720
Speaker 1: for Tony Pollard because there was a couple of runs

775
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: Pollard had up the middle that he pushed the pile. Yea.

776
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: It might only been two yards, but it could have

777
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 1: been zero. And that showed some toughness too. Any remaining

778
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,399
Speaker 1: rust that he had it was gone in this game.

779
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: Brian mentioned the first drive out of the third quarter

780
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 1: there touchdown kind of demoralized Miami. The one I liked

781
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: the most was when they went up twenty four to

782
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 1: six in the third quarter, because that was that was

783
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: classic Zeke. Nine play seventy six yards, five and a

784
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: half minutes and just just chewing off clock. He gets

785
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: an eighteen yard run, he gets eleven yard run, he

786
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: catches a pass for twelve yards, and then you know

787
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: the game's over at that point. It was good stuff. Ye,

788
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 1: very effective. I just didn't know. I'm sorry if I didn't.

789
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 1: We didn't get through the callers question the right way.

790
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: But I mean, i'd never look at garbage stats before half. Now,

791
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: at the end of the game, if it's thirty one

792
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: to six, and you know whatever, I get, I get that.

793
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: But if if it's before, I think they were trying

794
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: to set something up and they popped a run, popped

795
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: a run, and it's like the purpose like that. And

796
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,280
Speaker 1: we've we've seen him in Ox and Art all practice

797
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: to Hail Mary. We've seen it take twelve minutes to

798
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: just diagram one play on the field, so you know

799
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: they were trying to do something with that play. Hands

800
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: were pissed at that point though. I mean, I think

801
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: that was just frustration over the scoreboard at the end

802
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: of the half. But yeah, I don't there's no way

803
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: that's viewed as garbage time. They're trying to score points. Yeah,

804
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 1: and if Dak had an arm, you know, he might

805
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: have got it to the end zone. He didn't. He

806
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: didn't quite throw it sixty yards. By the way, can

807
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,240
Speaker 1: I have another injury update. He just learned that Tavon

808
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: Austin will practice Wednesday. Okay, so he's back in the

809
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: mix now for all these wide receivers, so that teams

810
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: that dressed four yesterday will have five this week to

811
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: play with it. Like we talked about Friday, you just

812
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 1: try to get through this game and hopefully you get

813
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: ever picked the wrong tied in I should have picked Witton,

814
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: I picked I picked the wrong tight end in our

815
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: and our and the jarwin. Yeah used him a lot

816
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: his cop count for me because he had a seventy

817
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: four yard touchdown. Yeah, yeah, I won. I picked Okay, right,

818
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 1: was right? And comb another another called back to I

819
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: mean he was he had bad luck. Whoever he ever

820
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 1: had Randall Cobb in fantasy football, which would include me

821
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 1: pick the click had some bad tight end. Damn who'd

822
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 1: you have? Bill Well? I give credit to chat O'sheay

823
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 1: or whoever was who designed the blocking scheme for the Dolphins,

824
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: because they helped JaMarcus Webb out immensely in that hired

825
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: And my pick was DeMarcus Lawrence and he got one sack.

826
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: He got a sack, but yeah, he got one but

827
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: um and in fact, Danny White on our pregame show

828
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: on CBS eleven, that was his pick right there. He

829
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, this ja Marcus Webb blessed us hard

830
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: watching the same film you are well and also just

831
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: looking at his history. I mean he hadn't played in

832
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 1: the league for four years basically. Yeah, and so they

833
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 1: knew knew they needed to help him out, and so

834
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: I credit the Dolphins coaches for helping him out there.

835
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: You go, well, he did have two tackles, one sack,

836
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: one tackle for loss, two quarterback hurries in a force

837
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: big force fumbled, by the way, But you still won,

838
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: right I did? Yeah? Two hundred how many hundred? How

839
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: many yards? Hundred. I'm not disagree with you. I'm just

840
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,439
Speaker 1: pointing out that you won. Thank you, and I bet

841
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: my score was closest too. We better go to race

842
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 1: your score and that was Mars Fallings the fifty five

907
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 1: they were wrong with abroad. You're sure it's not Italy Texas. No,

908
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 1: it's not the home of Keith Davis. Okay, they call

909
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: it Italy Texas. That's right. But Michael calls it Italy,

Speaker 1: out on Jack Black. I don't know whether it sells

913
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: over here, but I promise I'll check out about it.

914
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: There you go. What say? Are you in Milan? Very good? Look.

915
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 1: I'd like to share with you a couple of positive

916
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: takeaways from these first games and one concern for next

917
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: week's one. The positive number one Ducks character yesterday because

918
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: following his lobby first house the interception, he did not

919
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 1: fight to win it alone. He raised his mistakes and

920
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: kept doing his job. This to me is a sign

921
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 1: of maturity from a very young quarterback, so I think

922
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: it's very positive. Second, a good performance by the kicker,

923
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: both verses Washington in Miami. I think the past has

924
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,919
Speaker 1: been most erratic when he came to convert short range kicks.

925
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:08,399
Speaker 1: This time he nailed them. And one concern for next

926
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: game is that, in my opinion, your leans as he

927
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: just says, a quarterback similar to Duck in that Russell

928
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 1: Wilson is very athletic, very good past, but he can

929
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: run as well. So I'm thinking that the defense would

930
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: be fairly ready for the Cowboys, at least as long

931
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: as dealing with the quarterback is concerned. And I'd like

932
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 1: to hear opinion on all these things. That's it. Thank

933
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 1: you for your outstanding job. I look forward to talk

934
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 1: to you again and have a great week. Guys. Thank

935
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: you very much. Go ahead. There was too many questions

936
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: for me. You keep tracking mobile quarterback. Yeah, yeah, I

937
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: guess Rosen wasn't that mobile, not at all. And we

938
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: know about I don't think Bridgewater Bridgewater. He doesn't just

939
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 1: run run, does he? No? But I thought he was

940
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 1: referring to the Saints being ready for a mobile quarterback

941
00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 1: with reference to Russell Wilson. Ye, maybe I'm wrong. I

942
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 1: don't know. I you know what, there was a there

943
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: was a lot to digest there. I was. I didn't.

944
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 1: I was kind of going through the points and stuff.

945
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:12,839
Speaker 1: I know that the Saints defensively, uh you know where

946
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:16,879
Speaker 1: they were they have issue And again, if you're talking

947
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 1: about having to play a mobile quarterback like Dak Prescott

948
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: with the with the read option stuff and the all

949
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: the things that they deal with, the fakes and things.

950
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: They're linebackers. You know, Kiko Alonzo is a good player.

951
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: I think you could fool him. I think he's over aggressive.

952
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: I just don't. You know, the teams that have really

953
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: good linebackers tend to control running games better, and I don't.

954
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 1: I think the Saints linebackers are good, but I wouldn't

955
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 1: say great in the way they play because I saw

956
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: I saw the Seattle took some advantage of them in

957
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 1: this game that I just watched in coverage, and then

958
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 1: also with their lack of mobility there. And I know

959
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: we'll get into the Saints more tomorrow, but like aj

960
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: Line was a kid I watched, and then Alonso and

961
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: then you know, and Dallas is going to find a

962
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 1: way to get you an eleven personnel and make you

963
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: have to spread out and take and cover guys they

964
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 1: dig a second half, they just they're gonna I mean,

965
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: and Seattle hit on some big plays, these big plays

966
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: where they move the pocket one way and then throw

967
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: the ball back across the field. These are things we

968
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:24,839
Speaker 1: saw Kellen Moore do it in training camp. So if

969
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 1: if you think that the Saints would be ready for

970
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: a mobile quarterback, I'm not so sure that's the case

971
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: with their linebacker. Again, Alonso is a good player, but

972
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 1: I think he's overly aggressive. I think you could take

973
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: him out of position and take advantage of some of

974
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 1: the things that he can that he can do or

975
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 1: the things that he doesn't do. Put it that way,

976
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,359
Speaker 1: when they play, I think the game plan there's gonna

977
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,399
Speaker 1: be a lot about moving these guys around and take

978
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 1: an advantage of how aggressive they are. On defense and

979
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 1: the corners. I mean, they got some good corners. Lattimore

980
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 1: is a good corner, but you know, you know Eli

981
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: Apple a little bit of a gambler and some of

982
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 1: the things that he does. But I don't think their

983
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:06,840
Speaker 1: safeties are any good. Just watching a play, I know

984
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:08,839
Speaker 1: this is kind of bramling down the path. I'm sorry

985
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 1: about our caller there. I didn't mean, you know, I'm

986
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: not just trying to tell you what to think about

987
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 1: the Saints, but von bell in coverage is bad. And

988
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,319
Speaker 1: then you know Marcus Marcus Williams, I eat the range.

989
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 1: I didn't see range from him, So when the ball

990
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: is going to go down the field, when it's going there,

991
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 1: But they had some trouble taking some stuff and out

992
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 1: of the middle of the field, they really didn't. That's

993
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,800
Speaker 1: where the Cowboys attack. They attack the middle of the field.

994
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:35,800
Speaker 1: So I just overall Saints defense, I'll be interested. I

995
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: think Callum More will have a good game plan for them.

996
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: I just don't know if they've got guys to cover.

997
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 1: But I don't know if they could do a good

998
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: enough job to completely cover everything Dallas does. And that's

999
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 1: a different type of runner than Russell Wilson. Yeah, Russell

1000
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 1: Wilson's kind of us to run because he's got no protects,

1001
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: ramble stuff and make But Dac when he runs, it's

1002
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: it's like a purpose. It's a called play, right, and

1003
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 1: he catches the teams by surprise by not only his

1004
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 1: speed but how tough he is running the ball. So

1005
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 1: uh yeah, it's it's it's a little bit different. And

1006
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 1: that's and he's not a small guy. By the way.

1007
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm going to do a study in

1008
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 1: the next twenty four to forty eight hours on Russell Wilson.

1009
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to write that in a comparison with Dak

1010
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: Prescott that I mean, I know that that's been done before,

1011
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 1: but it might be more pertinent right now where Dak

1012
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 1: is in his career. Well, yeah, the thing about the

1013
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:33,280
Speaker 1: thing if you watch Seattle play the threat, the Saints

1014
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 1: rush three because they're worried about Russell Wilson running. That

1015
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 1: that's what that's that's why you see teams play the

1016
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:45,839
Speaker 1: Seahawks differently. They talk about build them a well, make

1017
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 1: him throw from the pocket, don't give him any lanes,

1018
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, you know, don't commit pressure because

1019
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:53,839
Speaker 1: then what he'll do is he'll spin out. I think

1020
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:57,240
Speaker 1: with Dak, with Dak's ability now to throw from the pocket,

1021
00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: I think teams are more worried about and throwing the

1022
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 1: foot ball than they are running the foot But he's

1023
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:04,240
Speaker 1: still got that. But he's still got the especial especially

1024
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 1: down in the red zone. He got the eight yard

1025
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: touchdown yesterday. The RPO stuff, they're really dangerous down there.

1026
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 1: Him doing that third and short, that's where teams have

1027
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 1: to be scared now. Two ran two options yesterday for

1028
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 1: first down. I love it. I mean, that's stuff that

1029
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: you have to that's the college element of the game

1030
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 1: that you have to prepare for when you play the Cowboys.

1031
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 1: I get the Russell Wilson comparison more than anything, just

1032
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: as a guy that early in his career. Maybe other things,

1033
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,359
Speaker 1: you know, they leaned that I'm getting at. They leaned

1034
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: on other parts of the offense, and then now it's

1035
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 1: become Russell's offense. And maybe it's it's training that way

1036
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 1: with Dak, or at least you know, Zeke's still the

1037
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:49,800
Speaker 1: engine for this thing, but Dak has taken more and

1038
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 1: more ownership there and in the passing game, he reminds

1039
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 1: me more of like a McNabb or or a even

1040
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 1: a a Roethlisberger wasn't hasn't been a scrambler, but just

1041
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 1: a big quarterback that is hard to bring down hard

1042
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 1: and he can move right. Well. What who was it

1043
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 1: that Kitnah compared him too? Yeah, Warren Moon in the ball.

1044
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,439
Speaker 1: I remember guys like Dante Colepepper that could throw the ball,

1045
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: you know that, Steve McNair same time. I mean again,

1046
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I don't mean to tag black quarterbacks with

1047
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:25,799
Speaker 1: you know, I mean again, I'm just talking about big

1048
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 1: body guys that stand the park but still have mobility

1049
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 1: that when you hit them, they could still they survived

1050
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 1: the hit, They get up, they go to the next play.

1051
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:36,400
Speaker 1: You know. With Dak the way he's he's throwing the

1052
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: ball so much better than he ever has. And that's

1053
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 1: where I mean, And that's the comparison with r with

1054
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. I want to look at Yea his hand

1055
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:46,920
Speaker 1: career when this is happening. Yeah, and there could be

1056
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:49,800
Speaker 1: a lot of factors that go into that. Brian and Maryland,

1057
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 1: you're next up on Talking Cowboys. Hello, Brian, heywre we

1058
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:56,359
Speaker 1: doing gentlemen, very good. I was watching the game last

1059
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 1: night while I was rewatching it, and I've noticed, uh,

1060
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 1: the one thing that we really haven't made a lot

1061
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:04,240
Speaker 1: of mention of. Sure, Dak's making all these good passes

1062
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:06,839
Speaker 1: in our run games great, but I see the only

1063
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,959
Speaker 1: difference this year is Travis Frederick. He's really just brought

1064
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 1: this whole group together where he's they're opening these giant

1065
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 1: holes and Dak has forever to pass the ball, and

1066
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:21,320
Speaker 1: I see the offense is really running well even so

1067
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:25,319
Speaker 1: that they're not getting into goal line situations. And one

1068
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 1: question I had was do you think Kellen Moore would

1069
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:30,360
Speaker 1: utilize if we were in you know, first or second

1070
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 1: and goal from inside the five? Do you think we're

1071
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 1: going to see a jumbo packet where you bring in

1072
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:37,880
Speaker 1: Joe Looney and Xavier sue a Philo and just have

1073
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: seven big meaty guys with Amar and Gallup or whoever

1074
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,360
Speaker 1: on the outside and Zeke in the backfield. Do you

1075
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:47,760
Speaker 1: see that as an option? Because he's Kellen Moore seems

1076
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 1: to have not discounted anything as far as using his

1077
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 1: personnel for success. Yeah, I like where you were going

1078
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 1: with the I think the thing with Travis Frederick, we've

1079
00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 1: talked about Travis Frederick cutting the defense in half, especially

1080
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:02,400
Speaker 1: second level block the communication. I think the biggest thing

1081
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:04,600
Speaker 1: about this offensive line is, for the most part, you

1082
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 1: have a healthy number seventy seven, you have a number

1083
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 1: a healthy seventy two. You have a healthy seventy to

1084
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: the most part these guys, and you've got an improving

1085
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:14,800
Speaker 1: number seventy one at right tackle. Fifty fifty two is

1086
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,320
Speaker 1: a bigger body, but he still has issues, you know.

1087
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 1: But so as long as you have four guys that

1088
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:22,239
Speaker 1: can make up for fifty two, this offensive line is

1089
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 1: going to have some success. And Colombo's influence too, Yeah,

1090
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 1: making that change at mid season, they got back to

1091
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 1: doing what they do and their approach and some of

1092
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 1: their concepts technique wise too. Yeah, you know, and look

1093
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:39,719
Speaker 1: around the league at other offensive lines. I mean, I

1094
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 1: just watched last night, well for four quarters against Auburn. Well,

1095
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,360
Speaker 1: it made me miss the Cowboys offense. That's that's what

1096
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:49,360
Speaker 1: a draft will do for you if you figure out, okay,

1097
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,840
Speaker 1: we target this guy, target this guy. Let's be honest,

1098
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 1: they got lucky. I'm gonna say they got lucky with

1099
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 1: Travis Frederick because there's a lot of people that didn't

1100
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:00,799
Speaker 1: have Travis Frederick raided. As highly as he was, there

1101
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 1: was a lot of people that thought he was the

1102
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 1: third round type player, and they took him. Bill Callahan

1103
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 1: for noticing that. Kahan's the one the evaluation I know,

1104
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 1: I know Walter Juliffe was involved toom Siskowski, those guys

1105
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 1: involved with the offensive line evaluations. If yeah, you want

1106
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 1: to give Bill Callahan credit, absolutely, But they but they

1107
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 1: they did a great job of evaluating offensive lineman, the

1108
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,920
Speaker 1: right offensive lineman. Sometimes you gotta be lucky too. They

1109
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: were gonna take you know, if you look, Ryan Shazier

1110
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 1: was going to be their pick. And Ryan Jazier goes

1111
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh right ahead of them. They don't panic. They

1112
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 1: go Zack Martin, next pick. Bull, Let's go to Johnny

1113
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 1: Manzell was gonna be the pick. You understand what I'm saying. Yeah,

1114
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:41,839
Speaker 1: but that's I'm saying. You evaluate, you have a plan

1115
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:43,360
Speaker 1: how you want to do so. And they made the

1116
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:45,359
Speaker 1: commitment to doing that, and they and they've paid these

1117
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 1: guys and they've and they've got them all under contract

1118
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 1: for a long time. The only thing that could derail

1119
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 1: this offensive line is lack of health. That's the only

1120
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:55,840
Speaker 1: thing you know, but on the point on Travis Frederick

1121
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 1: and Zach Martin for that matter, because you take an

1122
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 1: offensive guard with the four teenth pick or whatever it

1123
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,359
Speaker 1: was that they had that they took take a five

1124
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 1: nine quarterback first overall, and and do you take Frederick, Well,

1125
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 1: no one had a first round grade on Frederick. They

1126
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 1: had second round grade a lot higher than everyone else, right, yeah,

1127
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 1: but they had conviction, absolutely this guy is going to

1128
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 1: be what he became, which is a perennial Pro Bowl

1129
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 1: player question. And they made the pick. And that's where

1130
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 1: I don't criticize the Giants for making the pick of

1131
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones with the sixth pick in the draft. Yeah,

1132
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 1: they truly believe that Daniel Jones was their core franchise

1133
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 1: quarterback for the future. It doesn't matter whether you took

1134
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 1: him at number six or seventy or whatever it is.

1135
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 1: They're looking good now by taking Barkley one year and

1136
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 1: taking Jones to the next. Let's see if Jones continues

1137
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 1: to develop and they and where they took Frederick they

1138
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 1: traded down was the second round pick, right they was

1139
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 1: thirty was it was? It fits right into the where

1140
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 1: their second round grades are anyway. Yeah, so that, yeah,

1141
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 1: it wasn't like that big leap. And then you take

1142
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 1: Martin where you took him, yep so and everybody had

1143
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 1: him graded is perhaps the best offensive lineman in that draft.

1144
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 1: And then you got lucky with Lelee Collins just because

1145
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 1: of his circumstances. All Right, that does it for talking

1146
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:18,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys for this Monday. We'll talk at you again on Tuesday.
