00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 2: Cowboys Let's go.

4
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 3: Are you ready for a break?

5
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 4: Yes?

6
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 5: Are you ready for a break?

7
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 3: Absolutely? Ready for a break?

8
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 6: Yeah?

9
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 7: And so much for that.

10
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: It's time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com.

11
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: Were with Ambar Garcia, Brian brought Us, Patrick Walker and

12
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: Derek Eagleton.

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 6: It is Monday, January eighth, twenty twenty four, Season nineteen,

14
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 6: episode number one three. Welcome to the latest edition of

15
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 6: The Break. We are a lot from SWBC Mortgage Studios

16
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 6: at the Star and we're talking Cowboys and the NFC

17
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 6: East Championship. They go last night and beat the Washington

18
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 6: Commanders in convincing fashion. They went thirty eight to ten

19
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 6: and on the road, nonetheless, and so it sets up

20
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 6: nicely for them. They are in the second seed and

21
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 6: pretty much everything you wanted to happen if you're a

22
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 6: Cowboys fan happened to where the Cowboys have the matchups

23
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 6: that you would prefer.

24
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 8: Now, it's all playoff.

25
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 6: Teams, so there are no guarantees when you get to

26
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 6: this time of the year, but I would think the

27
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 6: matchups play out the way you kind of want them,

28
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 6: and so we'll talk about that a little bit as

29
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 6: we go throughout today's show. We're going to recap that

30
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 6: game a little bit and talk about some different performances

31
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 6: that stood out to us.

32
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 8: I'll start first.

33
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 6: Instead of doing we normally do on a Monday where

34
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 6: we look for the storyline of the game, I want

35
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 6: you to give me a bigger picture storyline of the season.

36
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 6: If you had to write a storyline for the twenty

37
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 6: twenty three regular season, what would it be.

38
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 8: Patrick, Let's give you the first shot.

39
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 9: I'm going to go with Dak Prescott's resilience. All everyone

40
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 9: could talk about after last season was his fifteen interceptions.

41
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 9: That's the whole storyline for the entire offseason. And suddenly,

42
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 9: even though that was clearly an aberration, when you looked

43
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 9: at how Dak Prescott protected the ball in the seasons

44
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 9: prior to that, it was, oh, he's a turn over machine.

45
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 5: He'll give the ball away. And we sat here, uh and.

46
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 9: Several of these panels talking cowboys to break, and we

47
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 9: started dissecting, said, Okay, some of those are attributable to him,

48
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 9: some are miscommunications and miss timing with the receiver on

49
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 9: the back end you come up, that's work tip right,

50
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 9: perfect example though. Credit the Washington defense for no doubt,

51
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 9: but they put in the work this offseason. Dak Prescott,

52
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 9: Cede Lamb, Brandon Cooks, Jake Ferguson, these guys and they

53
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 9: got on the same page. You credit Mike McCarthy with

54
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 9: you know, his installs for this Texas Coast offense and

55
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 9: the timing and things that they've been able those mechanations

56
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 9: they've been able.

57
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 5: To get going.

58
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 9: And now you're talking about Dak Prescott leading the leads

59
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 9: the league, ends the regular season as the league leader

60
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 9: in touchdowns to only nine interceptions and the ninth wi

61
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 9: was that kind of fluke tipped interception against Washington. So

62
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 9: magnificent bounce back season for Dak Prescott has him uh

63
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 9: in the MVP conversation right up against Lamar Jackson. And

64
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 9: I still think that, you know, it should go to

65
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 9: Dak Prescott, especially when you consider he's able to do

66
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 9: what he did as far as leading the league in

67
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 9: touchdowns with only nine interceptions and he sat out several

68
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 9: of the fourth quarters the season.

69
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 5: So for me, that's the big picture.

70
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 9: Dak Prescott as if there were any doubt and there

71
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 9: wasn't in this building. Dark Prescott is the franchise quarterback

72
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 9: now and later for the Dallas Cowboys.

73
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 6: Ironically, I kind of wish he would have actually made

74
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 6: the comment that he was was attributed to him. I

75
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 6: wish you would have actually said that, because that would

76
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 6: have been fun at this point.

77
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 8: But but yeah, no, go ahead, Amber.

78
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: Oh, I think this is the year. I feel it.

79
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: You guys are superstitious. Well you know what. Sorry, before

80
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: it never happened.

81
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 5: So that's.

82
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: What you.

83
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: Start over.

84
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 8: We got a ship.

85
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know.

86
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 10: And by the way, I say, shoot, say something else

87
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 10: my accent and no, it was my accent.

88
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: I didn't say that. I don't do that. I don't.

89
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: But it's a memorable.

90
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 8: Ahead.

91
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 3: Sorry.

92
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 10: The point is, it's a memorable season. You talk about

93
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 10: all the Okay, let's gather ourselves. It's a season where

94
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 10: many many cool things have happened, historical, historic things. We

95
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 10: talk about Darn Bland, the records he was able to set.

96
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 10: We talk about finally, Jimmy Johnson getting inducted into the

97
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 10: Ring of Honor, such a cool moment. You already said

98
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 10: everything about Dak Prescott, which he's having the best season

99
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 10: of his career. He's playing the best football he's ever played,

100
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 10: Ceedee Lamb, the connection and the way that Ceedi Lamb

101
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 10: has stepped up into that role and just looks absolutely

102
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 10: great everything that he's been able to do. So I

103
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 10: think like just all these little things, all these little

104
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 10: nuggets of happening this season there is very very special.

105
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 10: It just leads me to think that maybe you know,

106
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 10: you got what it takes to compete. And I think

107
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 10: that this weekend, the setup and how everything fell through

108
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 10: for the fell into place for the Cowboys, I couldn't

109
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 10: ask for a better opponent than Green Bay. I'm so

110
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 10: excited for this weekend. Not only you're playing at home

111
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 10: at a teenth stadium, but also you know, Mike McCarthy

112
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 10: is still pissed from last year. The Cowboys got beat

113
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 10: at Green Bay last year, and then I think he's

114
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 10: still kind of you know, you don't get over that.

115
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 10: You're gonna come in this weekend looking to get a win.

116
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 10: And I think the Cowboys have everything they can to

117
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 10: actually come out this weekend, compete and get a win.

118
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 11: Mike McCarthy's willingness to adjust say the season, oh yes,

119
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 11: they were not a good offensive football team to start

120
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 11: the season. They had pieces in place to have a

121
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 11: very good offense. The way the offense was being run,

122
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 11: the way it was executed the first five weeks of

123
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 11: the season wasn't going to be good enough for you

124
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 11: to be twelve and five and second seed in the

125
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:17,239
Speaker 11: National Football League in this conference. And so his ability

126
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 11: to listen to his coaches, to listen to his players,

127
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 11: to look within himself and say this is not the

128
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 11: way this thing needs to go. I think saved the season.

129
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 11: It wasn't going to be good enough. And I think

130
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 11: he knew that. I give him credit for that.

131
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 6: And you know, to that point, Brian, I think when

132
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 6: it comes to Mike McCarthy, I look at him and

133
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 6: I'm thinking, this is why you hired this type of

134
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 6: veteran coach. Because coaches have to understand that it's not

135
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 6: about them, It's not about their system. It's about how

136
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 6: do you tailor what you do to the players that

137
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 6: you have. And as we saw it, as we've seen

138
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 6: the season go on, they have more and more, in

139
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 6: my opinion, tailored this offense to Dak Prescott and Ceedee

140
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 6: Lamb and it is working and everything else is an

141
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 6: offshoot of Dak Prescott and CD lamp And I think

142
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 6: that's a credit to the coaching staff and their ability

143
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 6: to morph this thing from what it was at the

144
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 6: beginning of the season when the results weren't what you wanted,

145
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 6: to what it has become now in one of the

146
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 6: most prolific from a record standpoint, maybe close to the

147
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 6: most prolific offense in the history of the Dallas Cowboys.

148
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 9: You know, one thing I love just the intergect really

149
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 9: quickly when it comes to McCarthy. Excellent point by Brian.

150
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 9: One thing I love about McCarthy is since he's coming

151
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 9: to this organization, he has shown that he's not he

152
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 9: is he perfect, no Mike Nolan, but he's shown that

153
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 9: he's not afraid to quickly move off of a thought

154
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 9: and idea of philosophy if it's not working, He's not

155
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 9: going to hold tight to it for two years, three years,

156
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 9: be it a coordinator, be an assistant coach, or just

157
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 9: being you know, how an offense is run.

158
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 5: So you talk about one year with Mike Nolan, he

159
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 5: moves on. What does he do?

160
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 9: Home run higher with Dan Quinn shouts to the front

161
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 9: office for making that happen as well. You talk about

162
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 9: in a microbe this season, like Brian said, you had

163
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 9: to come to Jesus moment in Week five against the

164
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 9: forty nine ers. What do you do You get in lab,

165
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 9: you get with your analytics team that has been revamped

166
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 9: this offseason, which is something that a lot of people

167
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 9: were worried about with Mike McCarthy when he came into Dallas.

168
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 9: Is it going to be the old school, just old

169
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 9: football culture. Is he going to embrace analytics. He's embraced

170
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 9: it this season like we've never seen before. So all

171
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 9: of that goes to the fact that I just love

172
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 9: how McCarthy is willing to look something in the face

173
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 9: and take accountability for if it's not working, and then

174
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 9: he fixes it. And that's why the Cowboys in the

175
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 9: position they are right now three twelve and five seasons,

176
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 9: clinched the division twice in the last three seasons, and

177
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 9: like Ann bar said, you are matched up favorably, You're

178
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 9: you're getting hot at the right time. Your running game

179
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 9: kind of found some legs against Washington, which we will

180
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 9: talk about here. But McCarthy, he for those that are

181
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 9: saying whether the Cowboys have to do this or this

182
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 9: or this for McCarthy not to be on the hot seat.

183
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 9: Get I get where you're going with that, But when

184
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 9: you look at what he's been able to do in

185
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 9: his short period of time here, McCarthy's not.

186
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 10: He's he's not anywhere. Stop it, stop it.

187
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 5: No, I'm talking about you know.

188
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 6: Actually, actually we're going to get to that a little

189
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 6: later in the show because Jerry did have some comments.

190
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 6: He was asked about that last night, and I want

191
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 6: to get some comments from you because there are a

192
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 6: lot of different ways you can read that. I kind

193
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 6: of agree with you, guys, but there's some different ways

194
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 6: you could read Jerry's comments. And one thing I know

195
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 6: about Jerry Jones, at least from what I've perceived in

196
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 6: the years that I've worked in this building, is sometimes

197
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 6: he doesn't like people to feel comfortable. And I read

198
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 6: from this and we'll get at this a little later,

199
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 6: but maybe it's just a little bit of if I

200
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 6: don't want anybody right around here right now to feel comfortable,

201
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 6: everybody should be a little bit on edge, because that's

202
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 6: when you get the best out of people. And everybody's

203
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 6: a little bit on edge. All right, Let's talk about

204
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 6: Dak Prescott. You mentioned him, Pat, and last night he

205
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 6: was thirty one to thirty six, eighty six, eighty six

206
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 6: percent completion rate. I think it's been four games this

207
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 6: season he's been over eighty percent completion rate. And by

208
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 6: the way, this is an eighty percent completion rate, eighty

209
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 6: six percent completion rate when he's just dnking and dunking

210
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 6: down the field. He's taking some shots in there too.

211
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 6: That's a great percentage. Two hundred and seventy nine yards passing,

212
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 6: four touchdowns, one interception, and one hundred and twenty four

213
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 6: point four quarterback rating. You mentioned it, Patrick, I want

214
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 6: everybody give me an opinion here. Do you think Dak

215
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 6: Prescott has a legit shot at the league MVP? And

216
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 6: if so, how would you make the case for him.

217
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 2: I mean, he has a shot, legitimate shot.

218
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 5: I think it's a legitimate shot.

219
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 9: I think that up to this point, going into week seventeen,

220
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 9: Week eighteen, you still had and obviously you still have

221
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 9: the conversation of Brock Party.

222
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 5: For example, in one.

223
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 2: Of the quarterbacks right now in the conversation.

224
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just one of us.

225
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 9: It's Lamar and Dack wanted to and it's for me

226
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 9: that's right there, and then you have Purty beneath them

227
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 9: as far as he has justification for being in the conversation,

228
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 9: but it's.

229
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 5: Neck and neck with Dak.

230
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 8: The numbers just don't match it for right.

231
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 9: So, and I can't stress enough how much I love

232
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 9: what Lamar Jackson is doing. And also just as a sidebar,

233
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 9: because of when he came into the league, how we

234
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 9: entered the league, and how everybody, oh, he's a running back,

235
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 9: and for him to put up the quarterback numbers he's

236
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 9: putting up and get the Baltimore Ravens despite because they've

237
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 9: had adversity as well up and they get that number

238
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 9: one seat. So Lamar Jackson deserved to be there. But

239
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 9: for me and Dak Prescott, it hearkens back to number

240
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 9: one the level of improvement over twenty twenty two. So

241
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 9: that's a big part of it as well, because you

242
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 9: look at all the work they put into the lab.

243
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 9: He and the receivers, and the receiver coaches and the

244
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 9: quarterback coaches, Shot Humer McCarthy, they all went in the

245
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 9: lab and then how here we are twenty twenty three

246
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 9: slow start to twenty twenty three. As far as offensively,

247
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 9: what do you do week five, you get your ass

248
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 9: handed to you. You have to come to Jesus moment.

249
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 9: And he's been on fire ever since. Ceedee Lamb has

250
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 9: been on fire ever since. Like you said, they've Ceedee

251
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 9: Lamb and Dak Prescott offense runs through them. Everything else

252
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 9: is a ripple effective that they figured it out even

253
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 9: when the run game has not been going well, which

254
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 9: means that it was on Dak Prescott's shoulders to carry

255
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 9: this offense and through ceed Lamb to make sure that

256
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 9: it kept moving forward. So for me, while Lamar Jackson

257
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 9: is the most valuable player on his team one hundred percent,

258
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 9: I'm still I'm sixty forty for Dak Prescott based on

259
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 9: what he was able to do, the numbers he was

260
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 9: able to put up and without having to play as

261
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 9: many quarters as Lamar and Jackson had to play in

262
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 9: order to put up those particular numbers.

263
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 5: So for me, it's it's Dak Prescott.

264
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 9: And again no knock to Lamar Jackson will deserving great

265
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 9: contender in this conversation, but yeah, look at the bounce

266
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 9: back here from twenty twenty two, and it's Dak for me.

267
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 11: One beat six playoff teams. The other beat three. That's

268
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 11: how you got to kind of look at this and

269
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 11: you look at the the only real losses. The Pittsburgh

270
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 11: Steelers have a good plan when they play Lamar Jackson.

271
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 11: I guess they have the right personnel to match up

272
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 11: with him. But you look at what they were able

273
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 11: to do in Baltimore. Yeah, it's one more game. They

274
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 11: handedly beat San Francisco. I think that's something that people

275
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 11: will look at, you know, when you start to talk

276
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 11: about common opponents, you know, how did they and the

277
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 11: Ravens played great defense that night in San Francisco, There's

278
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:52,719
Speaker 11: no question about that.

279
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 3: But you look at you look at how they got the.

280
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 11: Number one seed. Dallas is the second seed. Was it

281
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 11: all on dak Absolutely? You can say a lot of

282
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 11: it's on on Lamar Jackson as well. I mean, Lamar

283
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 11: Jackson would kill to have Cede Lamb as a receiver

284
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 11: over there.

285
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 3: He's got a really good tight.

286
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 11: End and some you know, some some good receivers, but

287
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 11: not anything like Cedd Lamb over there. I just think

288
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 11: that voters are going to look at the number of wins,

289
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 11: the quality wins that maybe the one thing if there's

290
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 11: a split, it might be what did they do head

291
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 11: to head against one of the best teams in the league,

292
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,599
Speaker 11: San Francisco. That was a bad loss for the Cowboys,

293
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 11: a good win for the Ravens. You know, that's the

294
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 11: kind of thing that voters will look.

295
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 6: At, especially when it's this close and you got two

296
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 6: guys that really are Yeah.

297
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 10: Well, I'll be honest, I have a pretty biased opinion,

298
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 10: and mainly because and you mentioned Patrick last year. We've

299
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 10: been following Dak's trajectory for since the star of his

300
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 10: career and you kind of you know, you see the

301
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 10: things and how much he's stepped up and how much

302
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 10: he's changed as a quarterback from last year to this year.

303
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 10: And at times there were multiple games where he was

304
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 10: the best, the one actually carrying the team, and we

305
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 10: had many questions about that, many unanswered questions.

306
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 2: Can he be that guy when needed?

307
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 10: And he showed to be that guy without a set

308
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 10: o line, you know, healthy old line, without Zeke not

309
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 10: having kulated and that running back quarterback dual type of

310
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 10: dynamic there. And we've seen those games for him and

311
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 10: just everything. So again, my opinion is completely biased, I'll

312
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 10: be honest.

313
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I think he's got a legitimate shot.

314
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 6: I agree with Brian, though I don't know that it's

315
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 6: hard to make the case that he's better than what Lamar.

316
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 6: He's had a better season than with Lamar, and I

317
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 6: think that's the key is those those wins against those opponents.

318
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 6: I was looking at that last night. You gotta love

319
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 6: where Dallas sits. If they're at home, right, the three

320
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 6: games that they've played against playoff contenders, they've won them

321
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 6: at home. Yes, there have been four games against playoff

322
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 6: teams that they have not won a single one. So

323
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 6: it's like when you look at that, that's where you're

324
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 6: kind of like, Okay, if they're at home, I love

325
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 6: the Cowboys.

326
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 8: Right they're on the road, I get a little bit shaky.

327
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 6: Lamar hasn't had that and so and also you start

328
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 6: looking at it and you start saying, Okay, what was

329
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 6: the signature when for Dak this season? Was there a

330
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 6: game where maybe they weren't favored. Was there a game

331
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 6: that they were against a really, really tough opponent and

332
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 6: Dak just completely lit him up like Lamar did against

333
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 6: San Francisco. And I don't know that to have a

334
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 6: game like that for Dak, and I don't know you

335
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 6: guys may have one, but I don't know to have

336
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 6: a game where I'm like, that was a team that

337
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 6: Dak should not have done what he did. And again

338
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 6: that's again, this is not a knock on Dak as

339
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 6: much as it is just when you're parsing between two

340
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 6: guys who are very very close, both have had exceptional seasons.

341
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 3: That has had an historic season.

342
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, in my opinion, the best of his career.

343
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 6: But when you're trying to compare him to Lamar, I

344
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 6: think there is a little bit of distinction there that

345
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 6: I think the voters will actually take into account.

346
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 9: It's going to be a close call, but I mean

347
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 9: every point that's been made on this panel today is

348
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 9: a valid point in both directions. And that's why it's

349
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 9: such a detailed conversation because, like you said, when you

350
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 9: get to this point and you have two players that

351
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 9: are this close as far as both being deserving, now

352
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 9: you got to start nitpicking. Yeah, and then that's the

353
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 9: unfortunate part about it, but you know that's what it

354
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 9: comes to.

355
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, all right, we're gonna take our first break when

356
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 8: we come back.

357
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 6: Let's talk about the rushing offense last night a little

358
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 6: bit better, Maybe you'd say, but we'll talk about that.

359
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 6: We'll talk about where they were good and where maybe

360
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 6: they struggled. We'll be back Dallas, Cowboys dot Com Radio.

361
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 12: Todd thought it would be secure to jog and the

362
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 12: cheat of Savannah. Todd believed the big cat repellent he

363
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 12: bought online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to

364
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 12: be faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles

365
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 12: per hour. But the good news is Todd has AT

366
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 12: and T five G. It is fast, reliable and secure,

367
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 12: and he learned the best thing to do is stop

368
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 12: running and toss her the backpack with the beef stew

369
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 12: At and T five G. Fast, reliable, secure, It's not complicated.

396

Speaker 6: this segment's brought to you about blockchain dot com. All right,

424
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 6: let's talk about the rushing offense last night Tony Pollard

425
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 6: at seventeen rushes for seventy yards, a four point one average,

426
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 6: one touchdown. He did surpass one thousand yards rushing for

427
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 6: the season, which was important to him and as he

428
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 6: said after game, even more important for the offensive line

429
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 6: because that's a goal that they set every year. They

430
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 6: want to have a thousand yard rusher. That being said,

431
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 6: how would you assess his game last night? And really

432
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 6: the running game overall.

433
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 9: From a Polish standpoint, much much better than against the Lions.

434
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 9: And like I said after the Lions game, I said,

435
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 9: that was one of the worst games I had seen

436
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 9: him play as far as vision is concerned. And yeah,

437
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 9: he was getting contacted one two yards in the backfield

438
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 9: as well. Offensive line didn't do any favors, But you know,

439
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 9: last week it was more so I didn't think that

440
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 9: he made the decisions in that moment that he should

441
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 9: have much better against the Commanders. He was much more decisive,

442
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,199
Speaker 9: his vision was much better, and I'd be remiss if

443
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 9: I didn't give credit to both TJ. Bass and brock

444
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 9: Hoffman for especially for Hoffman. He was thrown in the

445
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 9: fires that Martin contracts his illness overnight. He was initially

446
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 9: expected to play. But then at at you know, in

447
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 9: actors came due and he was set out. You look

448
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 9: at brock Hoffman and you say, hey, young man, you're up,

449
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 9: you know, with the division and the number two seed

450
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 9: on the line, go and play some good football. And

451
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 9: damn it, they played some good football. So Hoffman TJ.

452
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 9: Bass helped solidify the interior with Tyler Biaddish. Biadash didn't

453
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 9: allow any pressures and they were carving up lanes and

454
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 9: then it was just on Tony Pollard and Rico o'doudle,

455
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 9: who looked fantastic with his reps as well, to just

456
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 9: make the right decisions and they did.

457
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 5: The burst was there.

458
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 9: The vision was their running game looks like it's back

459
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 9: on track over one hundred yards and this is what

460
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 9: you wanted to see going into the playoffs. You wanted

461
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 9: to see several things against Washington Commanders. That was one

462
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 9: of those things. And the Cowboys or it seems like

463
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 9: they're on track with the running game now.

464
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 11: Man Tony Pollard loves to see the Commanders. He loves

465
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 11: those white uniforms that they wear when they play. Because

466
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 11: it was another positive game for him. He ran the

467
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 11: ball with toughness, like Patrick's talking about, the vision was there.

468
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 11: Hunter Lipke helped him a couple of times too with

469
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 11: some really good point of attack blocks.

470
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 10: Uh.

471
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 11: They were able to sort some things out up front,

472
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 11: got some second level blocks that they needed, but it

473
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 11: was just Pollard taking the ball and really attacking the

474
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 11: line of scrimmage. And you know when when Pollard gets

475
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 11: hit at or behind the line of scrimmage, he's usually

476
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 11: a negative play for them.

477
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 10: Uh.

478
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,719
Speaker 11: There's some times where they ran the ball in this

479
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 11: game where I noticed this, and I've noticed it even

480
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 11: more when you when you just sit down and watch

481
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 11: one of when you watch Pollard every one of his

482
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 11: carries for the whole year, there are plays that they

483
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 11: will now scrap because they are asking a tight end

484
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 11: to get a block that he can't get, or they're

485
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 11: asking a tackle to get a block that he can't

486
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 11: get by alignment.

487
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 3: There are a lot.

488
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 11: Of negative plays for Tony Pollard where he where Tony's

489
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,719
Speaker 11: usually great is making the first one miss and we

490
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 11: saw that a little bit yesterday, But going back and

491
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 11: watching him play, just kind of having an understanding, there

492
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 11: are plays that they no longer run in the running

493
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 11: game because they can't block them, and I mean not physically,

494
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 11: they can't get a guide to that. You're asking him

495
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 11: to a tight end to be on one side and

496
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 11: have to make a block completely on the other side,

497
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 11: and they can't get there, and then it turns out

498
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 11: to a negative play and then you don't see that

499
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 11: play anymore. You know, there needs to be more of that.

500
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 8: Got a play design problem.

501
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 11: Absolutely absolutely, You're asking you're asking players.

502
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 3: To do something.

503
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 11: And this is where the coaching staff I think has

504
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 11: been real good here this year is they generally ask

505
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 11: their guys to do things they can do, but there's

506
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 11: times where they think, well, let's just try this.

507
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 3: Let's see if we could get Ferguson.

508
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 11: To come in motion, stop and go all the way

509
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 11: back to his right and block somebody. And then a

510
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 11: bad backup linebacker for the Commanders is standing in the hole,

511
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,239
Speaker 11: you know, where he should have been accounted for, and

512
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 11: you try to account for him by making some miracle block.

513
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 11: You know, And I've seen this, organ I've seen excuse

514
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 11: me this, this coaching staff scrap plays because of that.

515
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 11: They need to find them four or five plays, the

516
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 11: running plays that they're really good blocking. No matter what

517
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 11: the front is and find a way to keep working

518
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 11: those plays. It's not gonna be about Tony Pollard running

519
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 11: the ball. It would be nice, it really would be.

520
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 11: That's not that's you know, that's all our hope. It's

521
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 11: gonna be about Dak. It's gonna be about CD. It's

522
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 11: gonna be about cooks at times, Ferguson. That's what this

523
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 11: thing is going to be about going forward. You know,

524
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 11: find you four or five plays you block, you get

525
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 11: hats on hats and Tony has a chance. Otherwise those

526
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 11: plays don't need to be on Mike's call sheet.

527
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 2: You know what. I was really pleased.

528
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 10: It wasn't great the running in, but I was really

529
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 10: pleased with the improvement that they had this game, and

530
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 10: I was pleased with a lot of things. Actually to

531
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 10: end the season. Why do you win on the road

532
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 10: the husband and an issue? You win with two backup

533
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 10: offensive lineman. I thought they did a really really good

534
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 10: job in what was handled there.

535
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 2: Two I mean three to third.

536
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 10: You get thanks, right, third running game, Tony Poller being

537
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 10: able to finish the season, the regular season with feeling good.

538
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 10: I'm sure he walked out of that game feeling pretty good. Yeah,

539
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 10: and better than what it's been for sure, and also

540
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 10: the combination with Dowell and what.

541
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 2: He was able to do there too as well. Then fourth.

542
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 10: Brandon Aubrey, he misses two field goals and then he

543
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 10: goes on towards the last quarter to score to kick

544
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 10: a fifty yarder field goal, which is great. You don't

545
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 10: want him ending that game with a bunch of misses.

546
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 10: So everything just kind of ended up working to the

547
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 10: Cowboys advantage. How you would rather see them finish this

548
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 10: and the last game and defense also the way that

549
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 10: they played and shatout We were talking a lot of

550
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 10: about McCarthy, but shout out to Dan Quinn and everything

551
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 10: he's been able to do. You talk about the linebacker position,

552
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 10: safeties and having to do that whole combination trying to

553
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 10: figure out with what.

554
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 2: He's got on the roster.

555
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 10: I thought he's honestly done a really, really nice job

556
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 10: with what he has to work with.

557
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 11: Yeah, they I tell you what, the linebacker play the

558
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 11: moon and Clark had one of his best games.

559
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'll tell you.

560
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 11: Something scheme specific that they did differently in this game,

561
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 11: which I think is what we're going to see going forward.

562
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 11: They played Micah kind of as a off the ball linebacker,

563
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 11: but it was like he was a It was almost

564
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 11: like the old Landry flex where you know, used to

565
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 11: move the three technique back off the line. Well, they

566
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 11: put Micah like in a middle linebacker position, but they

567
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 11: stacked Clark behind him. So what happened is you had

568
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 11: your two down, your two down, your three and your

569
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 11: one techniques. Then you had Micah. Then you had the

570
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 11: linebacker stack Clark behind him.

571
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 3: So now he was it.

572
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 11: Was like it was like three feet it was like

573
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 11: three yards five yards.

574
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 5: Wow.

575
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 3: So what they did.

576
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 11: Notice, So what they did was they allowed Micah to

577
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 11: attack the line, attack the line like a linebacker, but

578
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 11: they ran Clark over the top, is what they did.

579
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 11: So we could run free. So he could run free.

580
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 11: But which way the play went? So they hand the

581
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 11: bal to Robinson, Mike attacks, the tackles attack, and now

582
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 11: you got a free runner to go wherever. So it

583
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 11: was it was a little bit of a scheme where

584
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 11: to play mic and not down with his hand down

585
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 11: as a tackle, but you're playing him like a lineman

586
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 11: near the line of scrimmage, so he could go and

587
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 11: run and make play.

588
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 6: Do you happen to remember what down in distance they

589
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 6: were doing that, like, was that a was that a

590
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 6: rundown type situation?

591
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 11: It was early like first downs they were playing it,

592
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 11: but it's something different scheme wise. It was a way

593
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 11: of saying, instead of playing him side by side, you

594
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 11: played one up, which gave Mike the opportunity to go attack,

595
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 11: which was great to do, and then Clark has the

596
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 11: ability to run.

597
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 3: It freed him up so much more.

598
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 11: He was able to see it, and then he was

599
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 11: able to go and make some plays that way.

600
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 6: To check that out the film, that's a really really

601
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 6: interesting way to play it, all right, and real quick.

602
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 6: I wanted to also mention I don't know if it

603
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 6: was just me, but when I found out that Zach

604
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 6: Martin wasn't playing this game, I literally had second thoughts

605
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 6: as to whether Dalla should play that.

606
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 2: It was his wife.

607
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 8: I really, I really have. I was like, I got

608
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 8: a playoff here.

609
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 6: I kind of want my quarterback around because I didn't

610
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 6: know what to think. Like the ron playing Pain was

611
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 6: still playing that game, and so I'm like, I don't

612
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 6: love this idea, but you got to give credit.

613
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 8: I got to give credit to Basenhoff, and I'm so sorry.

614
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 5: I gotted you.

615
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,719
Speaker 6: They played there, They played their butts off, and it

616
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 6: wasn't perfect, doesn't need to be perfect, but at the

617
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 6: end of the day, they did a good job. And

618
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 6: and at the end of the day, Dak Prescott didn't

619
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 6: have a single sack, didn't have a single quarterback hit.

620
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 6: That says something about how well those games.

621
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 2: Hawkett was so clean.

622
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, he was pressured, let's and seventeen percent of his

623
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 9: drawbacks pushing off.

624
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 5: Well, I mean those guys did great.

625
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 11: Yeah, when they go back and look at the when

626
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 11: all the teams are done playing and they go back

627
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 11: and look at the players, the free agents that played

628
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 11: and played meaningful snaps. When the league looks at that,

629
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 11: there are going to be a lot of scouting departments

630
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 11: that were going, why did we not draft TJ.

631
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 3: Bass? Why did we not draft him? What?

632
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 11: What did we not like about him? Because every time

633
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 11: that he's got the opportunity to play, he stepped up.

634
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 3: I'll tell you. Hoffman is antagonizes people. He really does.

635
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 3: It's funny.

636
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 11: After one of the plays he got pushed by three

637
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 11: different commanders on the way back to the huddle.

638
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 3: Like a guy shoved it.

639
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 8: That means you were really kicking, he got.

640
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 3: Shoved and he kind of stumbles. He gets shoved again.

641
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 11: He's stumbling even more, and now the third commander just

642
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 11: shoves him completely back.

643
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 3: Into the huddle and he never turned around. He just

644
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 3: kind of like he looks.

645
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 8: Like a Bourbon state drug. He probably he probably.

646
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 3: Smart like Yam, but that's but that's what he does.

647
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 11: I mean, he plays with that kind of that grit

648
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 11: and that toughness, and it's as you said, it's not perfect,

649
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 11: it's not pretty. Bass on the other side, should be

650
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 11: a starter in the National Football League. He could be

651
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 11: a starter for a lot of these teams that Dallas

652
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 11: has played this year where it's like, well, their offensive

653
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 11: line struggling, they don't have a guard.

654
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 3: TJ. Bass could have been your starter at guard and

655
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 3: you'd probably been just.

656
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 2: Fine well with Bass.

657
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 10: I mean, you know he he he has talent. You've

658
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 10: been hearing it about it since training camp. Everybody else

659
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 10: speaks wonders of him from that side of the building.

660
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 10: But with Huffman, we were talking about a pregame Derek

661
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 10: the he doesn't have much experience, and that was the question.

662
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 10: I'm like, Okay, what is how is he gonna look?

663
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 10: We don't know what to expect, what is that gonna

664
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 10: look like? So it was great that he was able

665
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 10: to handle it the way that he did.

666
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 5: And really quickly.

667
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 9: And I want to flip back to the defensive side

668
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 9: of the ball because dan Quinn obviously deserves roses for

669
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 9: the adjustments, like like you said, Brian, but also here's

670
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 9: another week of Joey Lewis and Donovan Wilson, two of

671
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 9: your your key impact veteran guys in your secondary, stepping

672
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:04,959
Speaker 9: up and taking the ball away and showing that they

673
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 9: are in top form. And this is you talk about

674
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 9: things you love to see going into the playoffs. You'd

675
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 9: love to see Jordan Lewis back in prime form. You

676
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 9: love to see Donovan Wilson back in prime form taking

677
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 9: the ball away. We'll see how the week goes with

678
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 9: Stefan Gilmour fingers crossed sound. They're optimistic right now, but

679
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 9: they're waiting for the MRI. But the secondary is making

680
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 9: some plays. Millie Hooker is back to playing some great ball.

681
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 9: Jay Ron Curse is having a very good streak of

682
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 9: good football games that he's putting together. Damn what Twitter

683
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 9: is talking about? Jay Roon Curse is out there doing

684
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 9: some really good things. So when you have the secondary

685
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 9: coming on like they're coming on, you have the linebackers

686
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 9: playing like they're playing and dan Quinn scheming him the

687
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 9: way he's scheming them, and you have your front four

688
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 9: getting pressure. No matter who your front four might be

689
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 9: talk about, Dante Fowler, Sam Williams is getting in on

690
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,479
Speaker 9: the action. DeMarcus Lawrence is still being DeMarcus Lawrence.

691
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 5: Oh soo Diggy Zua.

692
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 9: Jonathan Hankins is back, and Jonathan Hankins looked really good

693
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 9: last night as far as gap integrity and controlling the

694
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 9: run game in that line.

695
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 5: Of the scrimmage.

696
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 9: So all things are starting to point in the right

697
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 9: direction at the right time for the Cowboys, not only

698
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 9: on offence but also on defense.

699
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 8: Let's take our final break.

700
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 6: We'll come back and we'll talk about one injury that

701
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 6: did pop up last night.

702
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 8: Is it serious? We will talk about it. It's Dallas

Speaker 8: Cowboys dot Com Radio.

704
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 12: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

705
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 12: cheatah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

706
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 12: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

707
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 12: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

708
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,600

710
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,640

758
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 10: Hey, if they show up like they did, I guess us.

759
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 10: What was that, Jimmy Johnson, what game was that?

760
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 2: Lions?

761
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, if they show up like they did, I guess

762
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 10: the that was. That was the best crowd we've had

763
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 10: in a really really long time.

764
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 2: That was really really good.

765
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 3: Playoffs playoff crowds here, it's usually pretty good.

766
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 11: I remember that trade game was one of the one

767
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 11: of a lot of that was the one where Dallas

768
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 11: got the break on the m through the touchdown. Yeah

769
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 11: and then uh and then but they got the break

770
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 11: on the passenger farence call.

771
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 5: So yeah.

772
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:29,959
Speaker 6: Tough thing is that, you know, you when you play

773
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 6: teams like By the way, there are there are probably

774
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 6: about four or five teams in the travels that are

775
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 6: just like the Cowboys. They don't really play real road games.

776
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 6: And what I mean by that is when they go

777
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 6: on the road, there's still is a good number of

778
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 6: their fans in the Stateum, Pittsburgh's like that. San Francisco

779
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,919
Speaker 6: is like that, Like they're just gonna there's gonna be there.

780
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 6: Cowboys fans. Same thing when we go this week, it

781
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 6: was basically Cowboys fans.

782
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 3: That was amazing on TV.

783
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was crazy. It was like a home game.

784
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 8: It felt like a home game.

785
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 6: But that all being said, like this is gonna be

786
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 6: one where you're gonna have to and I'm sure the

787
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 6: Cowboys will be had four noise in this whole game

788
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,760
Speaker 6: because you're probably gonna have quite a few Packers fans

789
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 6: in the building because that's just the way they I mean,

790
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 6: that's just the numbers, those those types of teams travel.

791
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 2: Your two teams, Brian, how about that.

792
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 9: You hear this, Cowboys fans, don't don't get don't let

793
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 9: them outnoise you right.

794
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 5: Now, right they're coming.

795
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 8: You can control that.

796
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 5: You can control.

797
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 6: There's only one thing in a football game. The crowd

798
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 6: can actually control. That's the noise, do something about it.

799
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 11: But your team needs to help you though. Your team

800
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 11: needs to play well enough to where you feel like

801
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 11: that's nice.

802
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, But regardless, Like, if I'm going to a game

803
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 6: and it's my team, I'm gonna do all my part.

804
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 8: I can't control what you can do. I'm gonna do

805
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 8: my part.

806
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 3: What's your email that we can get tickets from you?

807
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 3: I know you reach out from that.

Speaker 8: Let me just perfect service. Let me make a couple.

Speaker 8: It's a bad look.

814
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 4: Man.

Speaker 2: Sure?

821

Speaker 6: Especially if you haven't talked to me in the last

822
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:07,720
Speaker 6: two weeks.

823
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 8: That made you probably not close enough. Yeah, I haven't talked.

824
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 3: I'll I'll sell.

825
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 6: All right, Let's talk about Let's talk about his defense.

826
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 6: Last night, Stefan Gilmour ends up with an injury. He

827
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 6: leaves the game with a shoulder injury. What do we

828
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 6: know about that injury? And how serious is it?

829
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,919
Speaker 11: That sublexation is what I was told last night. Uh,

830
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 11: and there's still as of two minutes ago, still waiting

831
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 11: on the m R I and that so this afternoon,

832
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 11: I'm sure Patrick or somebody like that, if you keep

833
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 11: checking on Dallas Cowboys dot com, they'll say, we'll have

834
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 11: that injury.

835
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 3: Update for you. But yeah, it popped in, popped out.

836
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 11: What they're checking about is there's anything Is there anything

837
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 11: tour or loose in the shoulder that's will determine I

838
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 11: mean it was he talked about last night. Fine, everything

839
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 11: cool and all that. Today is the big day. How

840
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 11: sword does it feel?

841
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 3: You know?

842
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 11: Is there any you know, is there any range of

843
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 11: motion in that thing? So yeah, it's uh, it's a

844
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 11: hold your breath on an MRI I that nothing in

845
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 11: there's torn.

846
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:05,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's exactly where they are.

847
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 9: And you know, the good well, the optimistic side of

848
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 9: it is that the Cowboys were not pessimistic about it

849
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 9: last night. And if it were something that clearly and

850
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 9: definitively would have been, you know, something that ended his season,

851
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 9: we would have known that last night, So there's at

852
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 9: least some you know, optimism there, Like Brian said, we'll

853
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 9: know more when the m R comes back. But fingers

854
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 9: crossed he himself and again, you know, some adrenaline was

855
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 9: going there. So Stefan Gilmore said that he was he

856
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 9: was going to play. He told Mike he's going to play.

857
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 9: He told media he's going to play. Say, he's excited,

858
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 9: he's looking forward to it. Let's see how the week goes.

859
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 9: And hopefully that holds true because he's going to be

860
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 9: massive for for Cowboys secondary that's already without Trevon Diggs.

861
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 11: Yeah, every time they tell us don't worry about an injury.

862
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 5: Again, let's hope that it bears true. Let's just put

863
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 5: it that way.

864
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 8: How that flew that team that they said last week?

865
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 3: When Zach I know you did.

866
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 9: Oh, Zach is definitely sick. Saw him on the plane

867
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 9: last night when you walked past him. Oh man, he break.

868
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 5: It up to the nose and like laid back. Normally

869
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 5: he's like kind of chatty with wasn't at the game?

870
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 3: Was he? I don't think he went the game.

871
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 8: I saw him earlier.

872
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 6: I saw the hotel that morning, but I didn't see

873
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 6: him at the stadium necessarily. I saw him at the

874
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 6: at the hotel.

875
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 11: It might be sat in the bus the whole time,

876
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 11: just waiting for you guys to get back.

877
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 9: So for those who are wondering, well, could Zach have

878
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 9: played in that game? Yeah, it's argument. You could argue

879
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 9: that he could have. But I'm telling you I saw

880
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 9: Zach last night.

881
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 2: It must have been pretty bad for him.

882
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, whooping him.

883
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 6: But we'll get into it. We'll get into Wednesday. What

884
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 6: this matchup looks like Cowboys versus Packers. They got some

885
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 6: receivers that you got to be aware of and uh

886
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 6: and so it's still is.

887
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 3: Something seven of the last nine.

888
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, you got to be aware of this team, and

889
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 6: then they can post some challenges for you, especially if

890
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 6: you don't have Gilmore. So we'll keep an eye on

891
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 6: that and we'll let you know how that progresses throughout

892
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 6: the week. One other thing on this defense. Last night,

893
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 6: another really great performance. And they've really had three weeks

894
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 6: here when they've played pretty good football.

895
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 8: What do you attribute this to?

896
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 6: Do you attribute the defenses play over the last few

897
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 6: weeks more so to matchups or do you think they

898
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 6: kind of turned a corner here and maybe getting back

899
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 6: some of that magic that they had earlier in the

900
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 6: season when they had Travon Dix and Lake Vandrush still

901
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:25,919
Speaker 6: in the mix.

902
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 9: I mean, you could go to matchups, but I mean

903
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 9: when you talk about what happened with the Buffalo Bills,

904
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 9: I mean they just got run all over by the

905
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 9: Buffalo Bills. They didn't even have to pass the ball

906
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 9: because they were running so well, bounce back well against

907
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 9: the Miami Dolphins as far as the run defense. But

908
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 9: then you had the final drive where they allowed them

909
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 9: to outfield, and we talked about that because that's not

910
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 9: entirely on the Cowboys defense. The offense should have played

911
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 9: better complimentary football and not put them in that position,

912
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,720
Speaker 9: because before then the Cowboys defense have been playing well.

913
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 9: I just think that they looked at that Buffalo Bills

914
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 9: game and said, we cannot have this happen to us

915
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 9: in the playoffs. What do we need to fix, what

916
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 9: needs to happen? We need to execute better. Dan Quinn

917
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 9: went back in the lab and said, we need to

918
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,479
Speaker 9: make some adjustments like Brian is saying they made against

919
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 9: the Washington Commanders. So you're seeing new wrinkles in the

920
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 9: scheme start to show up as well. So I mean

921
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 9: the matchups matter. They've had some quality opponents though, I

922
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 9: mean they should have won against the Miami Dolphins. You

923
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 9: did win against the Detroit Lions, and then you go

924
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 9: out and you basically, you know, shut the door on

925
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 9: the Washington Commanders by only allowing ten points in the game,

926
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 9: where really it shouldn't have been even as close as

927
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 9: thirty eight ten if the offense doesn't stumble a time

928
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 9: or two. So now this thing, the defense is getting

929
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:38,399
Speaker 9: it together at the right time.

930
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 3: Basically, I think you got some young guys that are

931
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 3: kind of figuring it out. Yeah, I think Marquise Bell.

932
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 11: There was one time when they when they ran that

933
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,919
Speaker 11: they ran that fourth down play, they ended up being

934
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 11: a screen to the outside and Clark made the play.

935
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 11: It's like Clark beats the tackles block to the edge,

936
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 11: which was great. But if you watch the end zone

937
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 11: copy of it, Bell all of a.

938
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 3: Sudden sees the motion.

939
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 11: He sees trips to his right, and he sees motion

940
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 11: going that way. He hauls, you know what, to get

941
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 11: out there and get outside. It's like he never hesitated.

942
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 11: It's like they're about to throw a screen on us here,

943
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 11: and I got to get over there and make a

944
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 11: play him. Clark, all those guys got over there in

945
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,359
Speaker 11: time to make the tackle. I mean they were out

946
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 11: numbered to start until until Bell and him ran over

947
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 11: there and made that play. So I think he got

948
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,760
Speaker 11: some young guys that are playing a lot more football.

949
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,439
Speaker 11: They well, they've been playing all year, but it's it's

950
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 11: really starting to click for them about Okay, they're in

951
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 11: this formation, they're gonna do this to me. Oh, I've

952
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 11: seen this before, They're about to do that to me.

953
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 11: I think they're I think they're having a much better

954
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 11: feeling about where they need to be, where they need

955
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 11: to fit in a lot of the scheme that Dan's

956
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 11: asking to play.

957
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is a this is a question that we

958
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 6: probably should wait for the off season. I don't throw

959
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 6: out there anyway because I just think it's an interesting question.

960
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 6: So you're just taff That's what you can do when

961
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 6: you're the host. So, so the question is Marqui's Bell

962
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 6: and what we've seen from emer this year, right, would

963
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 6: you would you consider bulking him up this offseason, keeping

964
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 6: him a linebacker?

965
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 8: Marky spell what you've.

966
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 6: Seen from him, the only knock you really have on

967
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 6: him is that he gives up size. Would you consider

968
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 6: bulking him up and maybe making him a linebacker if

969
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 6: you could do that, if he can sustain the weight,

970
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 6: I first.

971
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 9: And foremost, I would absolutely keep him at linebacker. And

972
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 9: the thing that helps me make that decision is the

973
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 9: presence of Juana Thomas, the emergence of Wanya Thomas. So

974
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 9: there's that, and I know that De Marveon Overshown is

975
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,720
Speaker 9: set to come back, and I love what the Marveon

976
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 9: Overshowing brings as far as a super high ceiling, but

977
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 9: you still need to see him on the field post

978
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 9: torn a cl give him some time to acclimate. We've

979
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 9: seen it with Michael Gallup, We've seen it with Terrence Steele.

980
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 9: When it comes to these devastating injuries, especially the torn

981
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 9: a cl the guy isn't necessarily going to hit the

982
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 9: ground running.

983
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 5: In his first several games back.

984
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 9: So for me, I'm looking at marku Spell saying, continue

985
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 9: to do next year what you're doing this year to

986
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,760
Speaker 9: give the Marveon time to kind of get his groove.

987
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 9: Because he was also a rookie, so he's still going

988
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,760
Speaker 9: to be a rookie because this is a real shirt season.

989
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 9: He's going to have to grow through the growing pains

990
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 9: even when he's physically one hundred percent and mentally one

991
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 9: hundred percent. Now, you got to learn the game. Now,

992
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 9: you gotta understand how to make your reads. So I'm

993
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 9: keeping Marque's bell at linebacker going forward. To answer the

994
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 9: second part. As far as him bulking up, I don't

995
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 9: know if I necessarily want him to bulk up, because

996
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 9: I wonder how much of his ability as far as quickness,

997
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 9: would that takeaway. And that's my only concern. I'm not

998
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 9: completely against it, but that will be my question mark.

999
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 8: He looks like he has the frame for it.

1000
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 5: I mean, but go ahead.

1001
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 11: Heck no, no, that wouldn't do this to this kid.

1002
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 11: I mean, and I mean this in all respect to

1003
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 11: everybody here, but I would not do I think to me,

1004
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 11: I'm getting over shown back. I'm gonna draft one, probably

1005
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 11: a couple of them high.

1006
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 3: And then how much you like Trotter? Yeah, I love

1007
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 3: his dad. His dad was hell a player for me.

1008
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 11: That shows you how old I am. But the thing

1009
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 11: about it is with bell Man, you could use him

1010
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 11: in so many different ways. That's one of the reasons

1011
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 11: why you know we were we were talking about adding

1012
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 11: you know, member Shack Leonard was a question and adding

1013
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 11: him and could.

1014
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 3: Shack Leonard help.

1015
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 11: I was gonna play Shack Leonard at linebacker with Clark,

1016
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 11: and then I was going to take Bell and I

1017
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 11: was gonna just do him in a lot of different roles.

1018
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 11: I was going to move him around. I think if

1019
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 11: you ask him to sit there and play just to

1020
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 11: play linebacker, he's just he's okay.

1021
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 3: But you move him around and let him run and

1022
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 3: let him.

1023
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 11: React and let him make tackles and let him you know,

1024
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 11: if you want to create matchup.

1025
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 8: Like what they do with the other safety.

1026
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, just you know, let him be a

1027
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,280
Speaker 11: part of that. And to me, I think you're taking

1028
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 11: away his strength if you just allow him just to

1029
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 11: be a linebacker. I He's proven to me he's more

1030
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 11: than tough enough. But now I'm going to draft linebackers,

1031
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 11: get linebackers, and I'm going to do other things with

1032
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 11: him to help my defense.

1033
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 2: Fair great question, Derek.

1034
00:44:54,080 --> 00:45:01,760
Speaker 10: I like your creative way of thinking.

1035
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 13: And.

1036
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,240
Speaker 10: But no, no, I'm totally no. I'm totally with Bryan.

1037
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 10: And the reason is I remember all too well when

1038
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 10: we couldn't find a freaking safety to save our lives,

1039
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 10: Like the safety position was an issue for so many.

1040
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 8: Years, going back to the earlier because.

1041
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 10: Okay, yeah, but I'm good my group of safeties there

1042
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,280
Speaker 10: untouched until further notice.

1043
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 2: So I'm I like the way he's playing.

1044
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 10: I think it's one of those like if he's doing

1045
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 10: that way, like, don't change it. Keep letting him develop

1046
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 10: into what he's becoming. But yeah, I'm totally with drafting somebody.

1047
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 10: You're gonna need somebody, And I wonder, what do you

1048
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 10: think that's the end.

1049
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 9: Of a very real possibility. It's going to be a

1050
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 9: conversation between him his loved ones. I think that's where

1051
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 9: we are with let vander As. We have this conversation.

1052
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 9: It's fifty to fifty, and I just really want him

1053
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 9: to make the best decision for himself for his family.

1054
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 6: And I think that's where it goes. I think it's

1055
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 6: going to be a question for him and his family

1056
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 6: of hey, how much you want to play around with

1057
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 6: this or do we want to just kind of call

1058
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 6: it quits. But he will have to make that call.

1059
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,320
Speaker 6: I think, all right, we appreciate you guys, So back tomorrow.
